Governor please stay

Chapter 598 The night gave me a pair of black eyes
In the study of Prince Wu's Mansion, Wang Lin and his five cronies stood in front of Liu Yishou with awkward expressions, looking at each other, but no one spoke.

"Your Highness, can't I let you die for them?"

Wang Lin frowned slightly and asked in a deep voice.

Today Liu Yishou informed them to come to the Wu Palace together, telling them that one person must stand up and take responsibility for the crime, because the law of the country is ruthless, so they must die for their lives.

This approach greatly exceeded the expectations of Wang Lin and others.

In the eyes of Wang Lin and the others, it is either "three cups of fine wine", locked up in prison for a while, and then entered the army of thieves to fight to the death; , in order to maintain the majesty of the Wu Palace.

How can there be such a situation of killing one person?
"The five of you killed people together. According to the law of the country, the crime should be punished. It's just that the king thought that you killed Xu Zhaopei and Xiao Fang in anger, seeking revenge for your own brother. There was a reason for this. wait.

Therefore, this person must subdue the law, and his crime is unforgivable.As for the others, they have to wait for a review by the Dali Temple after being imprisoned, stay in prison for a few years, and be released when the world is amnesty in the future.

General Wang did not participate in this matter, and you are going to take the blame. Is this taking the law of the country as a trifle? "

Liu Yishou scolded Wang Lin for asking with a cold face, and the latter quickly pleaded guilty without daring to defend himself.

It has to be said that Liu Yishou's remarks can be regarded as "reasonable and legal". There is a saying that the main culprit and the accomplice are the main culprit in the murder, and the fatal knife must be cut by a certain person. of.

But now the question arises again, who should be beheaded, and who should escape after being "fortified with three drinks"?Don't worry about scarcity but inequality. If these five people were killed, Wang Lin's cronies might not even bat an eyelid.

But now it is one of five choices, who is willing to be the one who is beheaded?

Wang Lin looked at Liu Yishou with a puzzled expression, but hesitated to speak.Pushing any brother to die will make his big brother's personality collapse.

Everyone can suffer together, but the bowl of water must be level.

"General Wang, the five of them are all your trusted subordinates. No matter who I kill, I probably won't be able to convince the crowd. Why don't I order my servants to send five sticks of incense, and General Wang will break a small piece of one of them, This incense is short, and the rest are long.

The old live, the short die, and whoever smokes the short incense will be the murderer who killed Xu Zhaopei and the others.Life and death are fate, wealth and honor are in the sky, and no one suffers! "

Liu Yishou looked at Wang Lin and said.

"Okay! Your Highness is straightforward, but Mr. Wang has a request. I want six sticks of incense to smoke with five of them! They are murderous because I talk too much after drinking. Since they gamble their lives, I will gamble too." , so no one has anything to say!"

Wang Lin said sonorously.This method of drawing lots to determine life and death is too appetizing for their blood-licking generation.

"Brother! No way! We accept the lottery, but you don't have to participate!"

Lu Na became impatient, and went to pull Wang Lin's sleeve, but the latter threw it away.

"I've made up my mind, don't need to say more!"

Wang Lin turned around and looked at the five people and said, "You smoke first, the remaining one is mine!"

Hearing this, everyone was silent, with mixed feelings, speechless.

The big brother is the big brother after all, and he never let the brothers down from the beginning to the end.It's just that if Wang Lin is unlucky and draws a short lottery, wouldn't he die?

Relieved and frightened at the same time, Lu Na and the others were overwhelmed, and seemed to be blocked by something, unable to utter a word for a long time.

"Clap!"

Liu Yishou slapped his hands twice, Yuan Shikang came over with a handful of incense sticks in his hand, gave Wang Lin six sticks according to his lord's instructions, and then stepped aside.

"General Wang, it's time to start. This king promises everything he says, and he will never break his promise. The old will live, and the short will die. Life and death have destiny and wealth."

Liu Yishou said solemnly, and did not deny Wang Lin's proposal to participate in the lottery.

Seeking benevolence and gaining benevolence, Wang Lin relied on brotherly loyalty to lead the younger brother, so he naturally let him go if he wanted to.Liu Yishou understood Wang Lin's actions very well.

If Wang Lin doesn't draw this lottery with his brothers, the hearts of his team will be disintegrated in the future. Who will play for him?
People can't help themselves in the rivers and lakes. At this moment, Wang Lin doesn't do whatever she wants.

Brothers who are successful, brothers who are defeated, have the same blessings and share the same difficulties. This sentence is not just talking about it, you can fool your younger brothers to die for you.

Everyone is not blind, it is clear at a glance who is the real big brother and who is the heartbreaker.This is why Xiao Yi and Wang Sengbian couldn't direct Wang Lin's melodies at the beginning.

"Whoever is unlucky and gets a short lottery, his family member, Wang, will come to take care of him in the future!"

After making the short lottery, Wang Lin held a handful of incense in her hands, handed it to Lu Na and the others and said.

His brothers took out a stick of incense one by one, and finally there was only one left, which was Wang Lin's own.

Everyone took the incense sticks in their hands and compared them. Wang Lin, Lu Na and others were all tall, and they couldn't help but feel relieved. Only Wang Lin's lieutenant general Yin Yan got the short lottery, as if mourning.

"Brother, let's not live here, and we will be brothers in the next life! My wife and children will be taken care of by my elder brother!"

Yin Yan bid farewell to Wang Lin with tears in her eyes. Everyone sighed and sighed.

There is God's will in the dark, Xu Zhaopei was killed by Lu Na, and Xiao Fang and others were really killed by Yin Yan's knife.Although he felt regretful in his heart at this moment, he didn't think Liu Yishou was unfair, and he didn't regret that his gang took revenge for Wang Lin!
"General Wang, please go back. The five of them will be escorted to Dali Temple by my king."

Liu Yishou cupped his hands and said to Wang Lin.

"Your Highness's kindness cannot be repaid, please see Wang Nanzheng's performance."

Wang Lin knelt down and bowed to Liu Yishou and said.Serving people like Xiao Yi for a long time has allowed him to develop a very high emotional intelligence.Wang Lin knew very well that the next amnesty to the world must be the time when the Guangzhou rebellion was put down and the class teacher returned to the court.

Therefore, it is foreseeable that as long as he bravely kills the enemy with his subordinates and makes military exploits, it will not be difficult to get Lu Na and the others out of the prison.

Of course, if he doesn't perform well, it's hard to say whether Liu Yishou's promise today will be fulfilled in a short time.

Liu Yishou just said that he would not kill Lu Na and others, but he could keep them locked up until they die of old age!This is not a broken promise!
Wang Lin has never dared to pin her hopes on other people's promises, relying on her own hands to fight for her own interests is the way he has been walking.

After Wang Lin left, Liu Yishou ordered Yuan Shikang to escort Lu Na and other five people to Dali Temple. The assassination case of King Xiangdong was solved, and the rumors about King Wu assassinating the vassal king disappeared in a very short period of time. not see.

As for the gossip that Wang Lin and her cronies drew lots together to determine her life and death, it was not known who spread the news, making it known to all.

After that, Wang Lin's former troops, who learned about this, had frequent contacts with each other, and they came to Jiankang to attach themselves to him. Not long after, they recruited more than 2000 people and formed an independent army.

Liu Yishou only sent a marching commander, Shi Past, to manage logistics matters, and did not interfere with Wang Lin's military affairs.But Wang Lin acted very cautiously, and sent people to Wu Wangfu to report the situation in the army every day, so she didn't dare to make mistakes.

……

That night, the wind was blowing, and the weather turned from warm to cool.At the base of an inconspicuous wall in King Wu's mansion, a black figure was burning paper money in a brazier, and there were sighs and sighs from time to time.

Xiao Zhaoye of the Southern Qi Dynasty, according to historical records, "The abolished emperor of the Southern Qi Dynasty was fond of ghosts and gods. He often cut paper for money, instead of silk, and had paper money."

The custom of burning paper money has been around since him. Whether it existed before that, it is occasionally seen in unofficial history, and there are not many serious opinions.It's just that burning paper money on this autumn night is probably a bit intrusive, and it doesn't seem like something normal people can do.

Yang Jiang was wearing a rough cotton coat, and slowly approached the wall with a lantern on, only to find that the person burning the paper money was actually Liu Yishou.And he was stunned as if possessed by an evil spirit, the paper money in the brazier was almost burned out, but the paper money in his hand did not continue to be thrown into it.

"How about adding more?"

Yang Jiang picked up a branch from the ground, poked Liu Yishou's back and asked.

"Well, let's add some more."

Liu Yishou took the branch, turned the brazier, and threw the paper money in his hand into it again.

"What is Aaron doing?"

Yang Jiang knelt down, took the paper money from the other party, and asked, throwing it into the brazier for help.

"Just burn some paper money for Xiao Fang and Xu Zhaopei, and Yin Yan who was beheaded today, send them on their way."

Liu Yishou said with a sigh.

"Alang's words are really..."

Yang Jiang got stuck for a moment, not knowing how to say that word.It's really meaningless not to say that I feel unhappy, but to say that I disgust my man for nothing.

She always felt that Liu Yishou was just pretending to be merciful.

"It's not just burning them... that's all."

Liu Yishou sighed, not knowing how to explain it to others, so it's better not to say it.

He was burning paper money for Xiao Fang and others, he was burning paper money for his lost conscience!

"The night gave me a pair of black eyes, but I use them to find the light. In the dark, I yearn for the light until I die."

Liu Yishou muttered to himself.

"What is Aaron trying to say?"

Yang Jiang seemed to understand.

"Human life cannot be disposed of, it cannot be exchanged or bought and sold. It is wrong to use money to buy life and use power to exchange life. If human life can be put on the shelf like an item, then there is nothing in the world. Not for sale.

Everything can be bought and sold, such a world is very scary.At least, the one family under heaven that I want to pursue, the Great Harmony under heaven, shouldn't be like this.

Today I exchanged Yin Yan's life for the lives of Lu Na and others. I regarded the principle of killing for life as insignificant, but in fact I was reduced to a generation of dogs and dogs, which is not much different from Xiao Yi and others. "

Liu Yishou looked at Yang Jiang and said very seriously.

"If Alang loses, we poor girls will all die, Alang's heirs will also die, and my father and brother will probably die too. I don't know how many people will die by then. If Alang's little persistence leads to failure, then Alang will die." You are doing great evil!
Alang can realize his ambition, make the world free from wars and the people live and work in peace and contentment, this is the greatest good.As long as A Lang is doing great good, the little evil he did in desperation is not worth mentioning.

Why does Alang have to be so pedantic and want to make life difficult for himself? "

Yang Jiang asked disapprovingly.

Being sold these days is a rare thing, Yang Jiang simply scoffed at it.Liu Yishou probably forgot that she was sold by Yang Kan to save her life, what's so strange about that?

Yang Kan is already a hero, and even so, let alone those who are struggling at the bottom.

She doesn't understand Liu Yishou's reasoning, she only knows that if Liu Yishou can't rule the world, that is the biggest bad thing in the world!No matter what bad things are done, there is nothing worse than this!
As long as this can be avoided, no matter how many people die, how much evil is done, and how many sacrifices are made, that is the price that must be borne!She doesn't care what happens!

"Although you usually don't think much of your father, but among your children, you are the one who resembles your father the most."

Liu Yishou smiled slightly and said, he felt much better after hearing Yang Jiang's words.

It is right to prevent the brave from eventually becoming a dragon, but there is no need to worry about things like killing a passerby by mistake, and everything must look forward.

At this time, the paper money in the brazier has been burned out, and the conscience that should have passed away has also passed away.The integrity has been broken to the ground, and I can't pick it up anyway, so let's do it.

Liu Yishou sighed softly, stood up and put his arms around Yang Jiang's shoulders, and said, "You have to comfort my wounded heart later."

"It's better not to, I feel that I've been made more and more... shameless by you. I'm already a mother, and it's too bad for my children to see me."

Yang Jiang said in a very embarrassed way, and calmly broke away from Liu Yishou's clutches.

"It's okay, I'm still their father."

Liu Yishou reached into Yangjiang's clothes and began to fumble around. The other party soon became so weak that he couldn't stand, and was finally picked up by Liu Yishou and walked towards the bedroom.

……

On the Youzhou side, Gao Huan led [-] troops to Anzhou (Longhua County, Hebei). This is already the area outside the Great Wall of Hebei in the Northern Wei Dynasty.Since the Six Towns Rebellion, the Northern Wei government has not been under long-term real control here, and has often changed hands.

It wasn't until Hulujin took control of Youzhou that this place was under his control, but the safety could not be guaranteed. The grassland peoples, whether they were Rouran, Khitan, or Shiwei, could visit here.

The difference only depends on the wishes of those people, they can come if they want to!
After arriving in Fangcheng, the capital of Anzhou, Gao Huan sent an envoy, Xing Shao, to ask the lord of Rouran, Anagu, to change the process of welcoming the married princess.

What Anahu asked before was that Gao Huan sent a team to pick up the bride to Rouran Royal Court to pick up the princess in the car (Rouran has the car-making skills of the Gaoche clan, and there are a lot of domestic horse-drawn carts and ox carts), and then brought the dowry They all returned to the state of Wei.

However, Gao Huan now sent someone to negotiate with Anahu, saying that such a process is very risky and easy to be used by villains.

According to common sense, it should be Rouran who sends the princess and the dowry to the border between the two countries, and then the Wei army will take over Princess Rouran and the accompanying dowry at the border.

It is reasonable for both sides to act within their respective countries.How can there be such a saying that Wei Jun entered Rouran to meet his relatives?

I have to say that Gao Huan's proposal made sense, but it also made Ana Huan feel uncomfortable.

According to the previous proposal, as long as the princess and the dowry are out of the royal court, all other responsibilities are Gao Huan's.If Gao Huan played tricks, the Rouran standing army under Anahu could pretend to be a horse thief and intercept the wedding party!
The dowry given away can still be snatched back, so Gao Huan has no place to reason with being dumb!
But now this trick is not going to work.

Rouran's army sent her princess to the border. If something happened before that, it would be Rouran's own responsibility!
It has to be said that the confrontation between the two sides has already begun before this marriage has officially started!Gao Huan sent Taichangqing Xing Shao as an envoy. Xing Shao was good at talking and full of knowledge.Stated his interests in front of Anahu, no one in Rouran could argue with him.

The atmosphere became stalemate for a while.
