Chapter 518: I have done so many unscrupulous things and want to write them off? Its a daydream!
If you want to be rich, stick to selling wine and vinegar.
If you want to be an official, you will be punished if you kill people and set fires.
This is a folk ballad spread among the people in the Song Dynasty, which to a certain extent represents the social atmosphere and general cognition at that time.
In the original work of Water Margin, the word "recruitment" appeared for the first time. It was not said by Song Jiang, but by Wu Song. The tiger-fighting hero who had just started out as a bandit also wanted to return to the system.
But later on, it was Wu Song who cursed angrily, "I will recruit you today and I will recruit you tomorrow, which chilled the hearts of the brothers."
In any case, Liang Shanbo's reputation is well-known in the world. Although they have done many immoral things, it has to be said that they are considered good among bandits. Now that they are in Wuyou Cave, Dong Yunzi will definitely accept it.
No: "Recruitment... Wuyou Cave? This place is notorious. Not only Bianjing, but also people from other states hate it. How can the imperial court recruit you?"
Li Yandao: "In the past, there was really no chance of recruiting peace in Wuyou Cave. If the imperial court wanted to grant amnesty, it would arouse people's anger externally, and the desperadoes at home would not believe it."
"But now Wuyou Cave has an organization and a top-down management hierarchy. The so-called recruitment only requires appeasing the leader."
"These leaders have gained status in Wuyou Cave, and they also cherish their lives and status. If there is an opportunity to see the light of day again and enjoy wealth, would they refuse it?"
The more Dong Yunzi listened, the more he gritted his teeth, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became. His magic power vibrated, and the bright light surrounding him fluctuated: "Those women in Happy Forest were originally abducted into Wuyou Cave, and Xiangba is the trail.
The thief deserves to be killed, but compared to the thief in Wuyou Cave, who is Xiang Ba?
"How many good families were robbed by them, and their strong bodies were sold as prostitutes, and those who were slightly beautiful were sold to brothels. Countless people died here. There were also those who committed serious crimes and fled into the cave. Every inch of the land here was soaked.
With blood and sin, they all deserve to be killed!"
"If Wuyou Cave can be rescued, wouldn't all the people whose bones are buried here have died in vain?"
Seeing that he was furious and didn't forget to help Nv Chi cover up the crime, Li Yan nodded slightly: "You have a good heart, but it's a pity that you are simply impulsive and can easily be exploited. Calm down and blind anger cannot solve the problem."
Dong Yunzi's chest heaved, and he was about to rush in like that: "How can I calm down? Wuyou Cave can also recruit people, what kind of bird world is this!"
Li Yan pressed lightly and he stood on the spot, unable to move.
Physics calmed down for a moment, and Dong Yunzi's flushed face finally subsided, and he whispered: "Senior, Xiaodao has lost his composure!"
Li Yandao: "You don't need to worry too much. Wuyou Cave is no better than ordinary gangsters. Maybe some senior officials really want to use recruitment methods to gain support from the forces in Wuyou Cave. This matter cannot be made public. The court is worried
Reputation, desperadoes are worried about burning bridges across rivers, and both sides have deep concerns."
"The two parties are probably still in the exploratory stage now, and have not reached a superior-subordinate relationship. It is even less likely that Wuyoudong will obey the words of some people who have promised them recruitment and security."
"Otherwise, since those internal officials want to kill Gongsun Zhao, why don't they let Wuwozi do it instead of using you?"
Dong Yunzi suddenly realized: "What the senior said makes sense. If Wuwo Zi had the idea of becoming an official, he would naturally not be able to murder the imperial official. He was caught, but he didn't want to offend the other party, so he provided the heart-eating thorn?"
Li Yan nodded slightly: "As you said before, the Heart-Eating Thorn is quite powerful. Is it difficult to refine it?"
Dong Yunzi said: "This thing is harmful to nature, but as long as there are a lot of resentful souls, it can be refined into one in a month, so it is not particularly difficult."
Li Yan asked again: "Above the Heart-Eating Thorn, is there any more powerful ghost weapon?"
Dong Yunzi said: "Of course there is. Ghost weapons harm the world and harm people's lifespan, but they are easy to refine and powerful. As long as a large amount of dead soul energy gathers, it is enough. I don't know how many people died in Wuyou Cave.
People are the most suitable place for refining."
Li Yan frowned and asked lightly: "Since Wuwozi has practiced the art of ghosts, does he have the ability to control ghosts?"
Dong Yunzi shook his head: "The dead are related to the underworld. Ascetics can use the dead energy of wronged souls, but raising ghosts is a taboo. Even those who are ghosts rarely dare to take such a taboo step."
Li Yan's tone returned to normal: "If this is the case, Wuwozi handed over at least three heart-eating thorns, and he must still have a stronger ghost weapon in his hand. Apart from letting you murder Gongsun Zhao, did those eunuchs have any involvement?
other people?"
Dong Yunzi's eyes moved, and he hurriedly said: "They said that Gongsun Zhao also has a close confidant, Qiu Shou, who is also hypocritical and has a lot of cover for Wuyou Dong, but he can also do justice for heaven."
Li Yan asked: "What about Gongsun Zhao's family?"
Dong Yunzi said: "There is no mention of harming Judge Gongsun's family."
Li Yan understood clearly: "It has nothing to do with the lives of Gongsun Zhao and Qiu Shou, but it has nothing to do with their families. This should be a public matter, not a private grudge. The case investigated by Gongsun Zhao made these eunuchs feel uneasy, so they wanted to kill him. You have done it before."
An assassination?"
Dong Yunzi shamefully told about the first assassination. After being stabbed by "Ask the People", he was still half-convinced, but now he was sure of it. His eyes flashed with a sharp light: "The eunuch deceived me and almost made a big mistake. I'll wait."
After the trail is cleared, we must kill them all before returning to the mountain!"
Li Yan has discovered that the monks in this world are not taboo about killing, and said calmly: "I have to give the thieves retribution, but they are not the only ones responsible. The censor does not care about Gongsun Zhao's life or death, which also encourages his arrogance.
."
Dong Yunzi was full of puzzlement: "Xiaodao doesn't understand. Don't Yan Guan always speak uprightly? Do you even dare to point out the emperor's mistakes? Why do they treat Judge Gongsun so unfairly?"
Li Yandao: "There is no absolute justice in the world. Everyone has a position. Yan Guan also stood on his own position and determined that the warriors of the former Tang Dynasty were responsible for the disaster. The current government should abide by the ancestral system, be prepared to suppress the warriors, and prevent them from causing chaos."
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "This book is understandable, but it often goes too far. Gongsun Zhao, as the judge of Kaifeng Prefecture, is included among the suppressed officials. It is selfishness that makes him more and more
It deviated from the original intention.”
Dong Yunzi said bitterly: "I see, but no matter what, it is Xiaodao who cannot stand up to Judge Gongsun..."
Li Yan looked at him: "Then continue to be sorry. The assassination will be the same tonight. Just don't succeed."
Dong Yunzi was stunned: "Senior?"
Li Yandao: "If there is an irreconcilable conflict between the eunuch and Gongsun Zhao, will they cease their activities after your second assassination fails?"
Dong Yunzi thought of the bearded eunuch and his heartfelt hatred when he mentioned Gongsun Zhao, and said flatly: "Definitely not."
Li Yan said: "Then with your current strength, it is true that you cannot kill Gongsun Zhao, what will these eunuchs do?"
Dong Yunzi contacted the person who asked if there was a more powerful ghost weapon, and suddenly realized: "They will ask Wuwozi for a more powerful ghost weapon? Is this really the case?"
Li Yan's eyes under the mask smiled: "You might as well give it a try!"
He was still not sure to what extent the two parties had colluded, and he was not sure whether the beggar's head in Wuyou Cave would be given to him if the eunuch continued to ask for it.
In his previous role as a detective, even if he was 90% sure of this kind of speculation with insufficient evidence, he would not be able to fully explain it, but his current temperament does not allow him to waver in his words.
Dong Yunzi was sincerely convinced and full of admiration: "Senior can see such a complicated situation so thoroughly with just a few words, and let the thieves reap the consequences. I really don't know what to say...
"
Li Yan took out the brocade box with the heart-eating thorn, took one and handed it over: "There may be people from the other party observing around the Kaifeng government office. You need to use this heart-eating thorn and make the movement more obvious."
Dong Yunzi took it, looked at the other two in the box, and said tentatively: "Afterwards, Xiaodao said... just use them all?"
Li Yan thought to himself that you were too honest. Do you still need to be sure about receiving kickbacks? He hummed softly.
Dong Yunzi watched his senior put away the stolen goods skillfully, and suddenly felt that he had grown up.
When he followed his senior back, and when light appeared in front of him, he turned around and stared deeply at this terrible place of sin, feeling a sense of responsibility in his heart.
He went down the mountain to kill Wuwozi and clean up the gate of Jinhua Mountain. Now that Wuwozi is tied to Wuyou Cave, he is also responsible for destroying this place.
After doing so many unscrupulous things, he ended up writing them off and recruiting An to become an official?
Daydreaming!
…
Kaifeng government office.
Looking at the candlelight inside from a distance, the two servants who had been personally trained and had excellent martial arts skills frowned secretly.
"What's going on? Why hasn't that stupid Taoist priest come yet?"
"Did he escape, or was there some other accident?"
The longer they waited, the more anxious they became. Just when one of them was about to enter the palace to ask for instructions, Gongsun Zhao suddenly shouted from the government office: "Where is the evil thief! How dare you come to Kaifeng Mansion to act wild!"
The two chamberlains finally breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time showed expectant smiles.
Not to mention the arrests, even the nearby military patrols and soldiers could not catch up.
Their purpose here was not only to confirm Gongsun Zhao's murder as soon as possible, but also to set a fire and burn all the records of the other party's investigation.
Although there is no guarantee that everything will go wrong, as long as this serious person who clings to old cases is dead, will other judges dare to continue the investigation after they take office?
Just when I thought I was done, a figure suddenly jumped out, took the wind and moved swiftly. It tapped lightly on the Bian River and disappeared on the other side in the blink of an eye.
"This Taoist priest is really useless. The assassination failed again!"
"Master Tong said, if we fail, we will leave immediately to avoid being caught by Gongsun Zhao, so leave quickly!"
The expressions of the two chamberlains changed when they saw it, and they followed the order and immediately retreated.
After a while, Gongsun Zhao's figure jumped out and searched around. After finding no results, he returned to the government office.
Qiu Wuzuo came up to him worriedly: "Sanlang, have you caught the thief?"
Gongsun Zhao shook his head: "There should be someone watching, but they retreated early!"
Qiu Wuzuo was furious: "You are too arrogant. You have assassinated the imperial officials over and over again. Are those thieves going to rebel? Do they still have any respect for the imperial laws in their eyes?"
Gongsun Zhao returned to the place where he had just fought with Dong Yunzi. He looked at the black ground and thought of the battle between the two sides. He frowned: "I originally had a clue, but this 'assassination' was huge."
It's beyond my expectation...Is my thinking wrong? What's going on?"
