Lincheng Huamo Chapter 165: Harvesting and Cutting
When the head of the Li family returned to his mansion, he was so drunk that he was already in a trance. If he hadn't been supported by the accompanying servants, he might have lost his footing early and fell down.
Even though he looked like this, he still did not go back to his own residence to rest. Instead, he asked his servants to help him to the residence of his second son, Li Pinghong.
Li Pinghong had just settled Li Qingshan. When the doctor used soju to clean the wound of the little beggar, Li Pinghong felt the pain was unbearable. But for such a child who was less than ten years old, even though his hair was soaked with sweat, he was still in pain.
He gritted his teeth and refused to cry out in pain.
There were so many injuries that it was impossible to clean the dirty and even foul-smelling body. But with just a little wiping, the little beggar’s face became clearer. There were many injuries on his face. Look carefully.
, after a few more glances, it is not difficult to see that this little beggar is handsome.
Li Qingshan, Li Qingshan, maybe with good training, this kid will be able to wear Qingshan and become famous all over the world in the future.
After returning to his residence, Li Pinghong frowned slightly when he saw the door open. He walked forward quickly, and as soon as he entered the house, he smelled the pungent smell of alcohol. A snoring sound came from his bed irregularly.
, he quickened his pace again and reached the bed.
When he saw it clearly, his brows furrowed and he was a little confused.
The man who lay on his bed and slept drunkenly without taking off his boots and socks was his father, a high-ranking official and the head of the Li family.
Li Pinghong didn't intend to wake up his sleeping father, so he sat down at the table, poured cup after cup of water from the pot, and drank in small sips.
After about an hour and a half, Li Pinghong rested his elbows on the table and pressed his fists against his temples. He was already fast asleep. Someone gently patted his shoulder and called his name softly. Li Pinghong woke up and took a nap.
Yawned and stretched.
When he turned his head, he saw his father. He put his hands behind his waist and stood upright beside him. His eyes revealed helplessness and a hint of care.
Li Pinghong stood up, bowed respectfully, and called "Father".
The head of the Li family motioned for him to sit down, and then he also sat down. He straightened a cup on the table and wanted to pour some water to drink, but Li Pinghong drank all the water in the teapot early, which was a little helpless.
The head of the Li family put down the teapot and stared at his child with an expressionless expression. As Yun Hong grew up, this kid naturally grew up as well. Then, Zhu Yinuo, the little overlord, should also grow up. Thinking of the past few years
At that time, Li Pinghong dragged Li Yunhong and Zhu Yinuo outside to make trouble and cause trouble. It was troublesome in the past, but now it is interesting to think about it.
A lot of my private money was stolen by this kid. I haven't dealt with it yet, so I don't dare to publicize it. I'm afraid that this kid's insect-like mother will have to skin him alive if he finds out that he hides his private money.
But as the child grows up, he will also grow old. The old Dragon King will grow old one day, and Zhu Yinuo will grow up one day. Then, as the child grows up, many serious and trivial matters of the Li family will also have to be dealt with.
Little by little it was handed over to him.
Seeing his father staring at him like this without saying a word, he was as smart as Li Pinghong, and he understood that his father knew what happened outside the Forbidden City. He stood up from the wooden stool, then bent his knees and knelt down.
On the ground.
The head of the Li family remained expressionless, but then he heard Li Pinghong's calm voice and said: "My child has made mistakes, please punish me father."
The head of the Li family suddenly smiled happily, and he helped himself up.
He asked his son to sit back on the wooden stool. Then he sighed. There was no sadness and anguish in the tone, but more of a feeling.
"Ping Hong, I ask you as a father, how is His Highness treating you?"
Li Pinghong didn't understand why his father suddenly asked such a question, and then he answered directly without thinking: "Your Highness is a great talent, and you can be a wise master."
The head of the Li family chuckled. This boy actually had a sloppy relationship with him. What he asked was obviously how His Highness treated him. When did he ask him to give an evaluation to His Highness?
Then the head of the Li family answered the question for Li Pinghong. He spoke in a calm voice, and said: "Every generation has talented people, and a new generation replaces the old ones. The old prince should abdicate soon, and so should I, a bad old man."
The power has been removed from the hands. The Li family has assisted the King of Jinling for generations, but each generation is not as good as the last. When it comes to the father's generation, the so-called assistance is mostly just running errands. Ping Hong, you think you and your brother, alas,
Comparing you with Li Ganghong, who is better in terms of running the country and in terms of wisdom?"
After all, it is sad to have no name after death.
Li Pinghong calmed down and then replied: "There is a cart of books, and a storehouse of people. I know that the situation is changing, but I still keep my original intention. Pinghong, respect me as your brother forever!"
The last sentence was made with bright eyes and sincere words. When the head of the Li family saw it, he felt an indescribable feeling in his heart, but then he smiled, feeling comfortable and happy.
"It is the fundamental thing to be a planner without losing the right way. Ping Hong, the Li family will have to rely on you from now on."
Li Pinghong didn't understand what his father said and frowned slightly, but then the head of the Li family stood up and walked out of the house. He took two steps and then stopped without looking back. He just said: "I won't take my father to see him yet."
The new young master of our Li family?"
When these words came out, Li Pinghong's eyes widened, and then he looked ecstatic. He thought about hundreds of outcomes, but never thought that his father would accept this little beggar so easily.
The father and son walked and talked all the way.
The head of the Li family asked: "Ping Hong, are you familiar with my Daye law?"
Li Pinghong nodded, with a look of shame on his face, and then said, "In the "Law of Daye", anyone who murders someone intentionally will be killed, and those who do not add merit will be hanged, and those who add merit will have a staff that can flow for a hundred and three thousand miles. After killing, sit down, and if you are injured, you will not die.
The person who created the plan will be twisted, so if he does not add merit, the stick will flow for three thousand miles, and the stick will last for three years.
, but the co-conspirators are all sitting down, and the one who created the idea is still the leader even though he is incapacitated, and the follower who can't do it is the same as the one who can't do it. If anyone gets money from this, he will be killed with the robbers, regardless of the leader or follower."
Hearing Li Pinghong spell out the contents of the "Criminal Code" in "Daye Code" word for word, the head of the Li family also nodded with satisfaction. He has three children. The eldest son was praised by everyone, but what he did in the end almost implicated the entire family. The second son
The third son is known as the dandy and the little bully, but which dandy can memorize the "Laws of Daye" by heart, and which dandy can travel freely with swords and swords?
It's a pity, it's a pity, what's the use of memorizing the "Laws of Daye" so well? If you kill someone, you should be beheaded in public, the law clearly stipulates. If it doesn't work, you will have to be exiled to another place after a hundred sticks, and this life is considered to be the end.
"Tell me more, what about child abduction and trafficking?"
Li Pinghong couldn't help but frown, why did his father suddenly ask like this today?
"Those who devise strategies to lure a good man and kidnap and sell the children of a good family, regardless of whether the transaction is successful or not, will go to the army and die, and their descendants will take over."
The head of the Li family is very satisfied. He is doing well today.
As if specifically to test Li Pinghong's familiarity with the law, he heard the answer and asked: "What if we pick and cut the raw material?"
Li Pinghong's brows are now in full bloom. He has never traveled around the world and has never left Jinling in his life. People often talk about harvesting and harvesting, but they have only heard of it but never seen it. Because in Jinling City, most of the beggars are Fang Waizhi.
Scholars, ordinary beggars are very rare, let alone this miserable person who has been tortured to become a bear or a dog.
He thought so, but the answer was his answer. He opened his mouth and said: "Those who hurt others should be beheaded, and those who cause harm to others should be cut in half, not to mention harvesting and cutting. There is a written law. Anyone who picks, cuts, and cuts others will be punished."
He was executed at Lingchi, and his property was cut off and paid to the family of the deceased. Although his wife, son and family members did not know about it, they fled two thousand miles away and were resettled, and they were killed by his followers."
The head of the Li family nodded, then chuckled a few times, and continued: "Your Highness has found out that Zhu Jianjin and the gang of wealthy children came to Jinling City to buy some boys back to Ningchuan. These transactions vary from ten years to two.
The ten-year contract of selling one's life was made by the poor children who were looted. There were eleven injured, six dead, and five harvesters and cutters. Pinghong, you have accomplished a great feat today."
Li Pinghong couldn't help but widen his eyes. He never imagined that the answer given by His Highness would be like this.
The two quickly reached the house where the little beggar Li Qingshan lived. The head of the Li family stopped, as if he didn't intend to go any further. He closed his eyes, took a few deep breaths in an orderly manner, and then said an inexplicable word
: "Human life is like grass, human life is like grass. Pinghong, human life is like grass, but a spark can start a prairie fire. My father is still drunk, so I won't let you go see this child. What is this child's name?"
Li Pinghong started to squeak, but even though he squeaked and his words were deliberately unclear, the head of the Li family still heard the content clearly.
"Qingshan, Qingshan, hahaha, Qingshan, Li Qingshan, good name, good name."
Seeing his father laughing loudly with joy, Li Pinghong also smiled. It seemed that his father had truly accepted Qingshan. He asked his father to go and see the child together, but the head of the Li family refused several times.
Decline and prepare to leave early to rest.
The head of the Li family said something incomprehensible before leaving. The head of the Li family said: "Ping Hong, harvesting and cutting of raw materials is very cruel to good families and children. But in a family, a city or a country, there are people who collect, cut, and cut raw materials? This
People, are they right or wrong?"
"Of course it's wrong."
After hearing his second son's answer, the head of the Li family frowned slightly, but didn't say much and finally left with laughter.
Li Pinghong chatted with Li Qingshan for a while, and then took a pen and ink to teach him how to write his name. The child was neither smart nor stupid. In less than half a quarter of an hour, Li Qingshan
Three words can be neatly written on paper.
Then Li Pinghong went to see his third brother, but the boy slept like a pig and was heartless, so he had no choice but to leave.
There was no dream all night, until the sun rose and the rooster crowed. Li Pinghong planned to continue lying on the bed, but the door was pushed open by a maid. The maid was in a hurry and did not knock on the door, so she just opened the door and entered.
Li Pinghong was awakened, and anger could not help but appear on his face, but when the maid only said one sentence, Li Pinghong was as stunned as a bolt from the blue.
The maid frowned, with a sad look on her face, and her tone sounded like she was in shock. She just heard her say: "Second Young Master, Second Young Master, Master, Master, he died suddenly!"
