He refused Li Qinzai without hesitation as soon as he opened his mouth. Either he was arrogant or the price was too low.
In both cases, there is a possibility, that is, he must have real abilities and be proud of himself.
He does look like a high-end product, but his skills are secondary. What Li Qinzai likes is his character.
Anyone who has actually been on the battlefield knows that the ones who survive to the end on the battlefield of swords and swords are not the kind of tough soldiers who can fight one against a hundred, but the kind of clever little ghosts who are good at making use of the terrain and being good at dodging while dodging.
When two armies clash, even ordinary pawns have to use their brains to increase their chances of survival.
Although the Tang Ji in front of him had never been on the battlefield, Li Qinzai, who had heard about his deeds, subconsciously felt that this man was a wise man.
"We can talk." Li Qinzai didn't care how dirty the prison floor was, so he sat down cross-legged outside the cell door, and the two looked at each other through the fence.
"There is nothing to talk about. This noble man please leave." Tang Ji said calmly.
"Help me work for five years, and I will give you salary every month." Li Qinzai increased the price.
Tang Ji smiled coldly, closed his eyes and ignored him.
Li Qinzai was not angry, and said with a smile: "You committed a murder. You are lucky that Dali Temple allows you to survive to this day, but if you want to regain your freedom in this life, I am afraid it will be impossible."
"You are only in your twenties, and you will be locked up in this prison your whole life. From the time you are in your twenties to your fifties or sixties, during these decades, you cannot get sick or have any accidents, and you must be on guard.
The temple minister changed people, and then he overturned the case again and solved your old case."
"Even if what I just said doesn't happen, you can live peacefully in prison until the end of your life, but in the end you can only die like a rat in the gutter."
"After you die, the jailer will wrap your body in a straw mat and throw it to a charity village outside the city, or simply throw it into a mass grave, and let your body be eaten clean by wild dogs."
Li Qinzai looked at Tang Ji and said calmly: "Do you like this ending? You know very well that everything I just said is not possible, but will definitely happen."
Pointing to his chest with his thumb, Li Qinzai said proudly: "To put it bluntly, my arrival is an opportunity in your life, even the only opportunity in your life. If you miss me, you will probably have no hope in this life.
Already."
After listening to Li Qinzai's words, Tang Ji's expression changed significantly.
He was no longer arrogant and indifferent. After his expression became dazed, he gradually fell into struggle.
Wu Minzhi, who was squatting aside and was bored, sneered and said: "Brother Jingchu, why are you talking so much nonsense? If it were me, I would light this prison on fire. This kid will be locked in and can't get out, or he will agree to it."
, or die."
Li Qinzai glanced at him.
To be honest, the person who is really suitable for doing dirty work is Wu Minzhi. Look at his moral bottom line, his crazy attitude towards life, and his ruthlessness...
It's a pity that his status prevents him from doing this job, and Li Qinzai feels that he can't handle this crazy criticism.
Pity.
Looking at Tang Ji again, his expression became more and more relaxed.
What Li Qinzai said touched his heart.
He doesn't want to die like a rat in the gutter, because his revenge has not been avenged and he has a blood feud. How can he dare to die?
After a long time, Tang Ji suddenly looked at Li Qinzai seriously and said, "Who are you?"
"My name is Li Qinzai, and I have the title of Marquis of Weinan County." Li Qinzai introduced himself with a smile.
Tang Ji showed a look of surprise.
Li Qinzai asked curiously: "Have you heard of me?"
Tang Ji said calmly: "The noble man destroyed the Japanese country, fought against the Tubo, and conquered the Tuyuhun. He has already become famous all over the world. Naturally, the people who punished him have heard of it."
Li Qinzai stood up, brushed the dust from the hem of his robe, and said, "What's your answer? If you agree, I will find a way to restore your freedom. If you refuse, you and I will never be apart in this life."
Tang Ji was silent for a long time, struggling and said: "If I promise you, can you help me get revenge?"
Li Qinzai smiled and said: "No. I am using you, not you using me. As a person, you must know your own position and value. The master has no obligation to help his subordinates to revenge themselves."
Tang Ji was silent again. After waiting for a long time, Li Qinzai became a little impatient, and then Tang Ji said seriously: "I promise you! I will avenge my family's revenge by myself!"
Li Qinzai smiled: "You are a man. Just wait, your freedom will be restored in two days."
After speaking, Li Qinzai left without looking back.
…………
After leaving the Dali Temple prison, Li Qinzai thanked Wu Minzhi and sent Wu Minzhi away.
And he stood at the door of Dali Temple for a long time, beckoned Liu Asi, whispered a few words in his ear, Liu Asi followed the order and left, while Li Qinzai visited Yang Deyi, the young minister of Dali Temple alone.
Yang Deyi was originally a Si Xian doctor. He was demoted to the rank of Shaoqing of Dali Temple last year for unknown reasons. He was only demoted one level. The matter must not have been serious.
Li Qinzai had no personal relationship with Yang Deyi, but he still asked the Dali Temple officer to hand over his name card.
In the wing room on the east side of the back hall of Dali Temple, Li Qinzai met Yang Deyi.
Yang Deyi is in his fifties, with rather regular facial features, and a gray beard under his chin, which adds a sense of justice. Judging from his appearance, he is indeed suitable for the work of Dali Temple. This is what a selfless official should look like.
appearance.
Yang Deyi was surprised by Li Qinzai's visit. He had no contact with him on weekdays and was a stranger who didn't even give gifts during holidays.
A stranger suddenly came to the door, which meant that he must have something to ask for. Yang Deyi first felt a little wary in his heart.
Li Qinzai entered the door and saluted as a junior with a smile. Yang Deyi also stood up and hurriedly returned the salute humbly, saying "I have long admired you."
Talking nonsense in official circles is a necessary procedure. If you don't even have this kind of self-cultivation, you are not worthy of being an official.
So Li Qinzai and Yang Deyi started chatting aimlessly, ranging from today's weather hehehe to last night's beauty hehehe, from whether the British father-in-law is in good health, to wishing the emperor a long life...
After talking nonsense for most of an hour, it was finally time to get down to business.
Li Qinzai patiently did boring things that were in line with social etiquette for most of an hour. When it came time to get down to business, he stopped beating around the bush and went straight to the point and asked for someone to be brought out from Dali Temple.
Yang Deyi refused with a smile.
You are talking nonsense for a long time because you and your grandfather have a close relationship. Do you really think that we are very familiar with each other? When you open your mouth, you are going to mention someone. I, the young minister of Dali Temple, am the bastard in the wishing pool. Whoever makes a wish in the pool, I am special.
Do you have to agree to anything?
Yang Deyi's answer was as expected by Li Qinzai, and he was lucky to agree so readily.
Don't worry, now that you have checked in today, you can't go back empty-handed.
Facing the once notorious dandy in Chang'an City, Yang Deyi actually had some scruples in his heart. He had heard too much about Li Qinzai's deeds in recent years. If he rejected him this time, it was hard to say what this dandy would do.
Sure enough, after the two of them had been working together for half an hour, a servant in green clothes and a green hat entered the room and whispered a few words in Yang Deyi's ear.
After hearing this, Yang Deyi's face changed drastically, and he immediately stared at Li Qinzai with dissatisfaction.
"You sent several large boxes of money to my house without saying a word. It's such a big hand by the Marquis of Li County. Hey, he wants to take advantage of me. Is it so easy for me to give in?" Yang Deyi sneered.
Li Qinzai blinked innocently, pointed at the servant who reported the news, and said, "Why doesn't Yang Shaoqing ask who sent the gift?"
Yang Deyi looked at his servant, who said calmly: "This is Song Sen, the governor of Yongzhou, Baiqi Si."
