Chapter 78 Jiang Li’s Death
April [-]th.

It was a sunny day, and a unique green peony flower in Sifang City was in full bloom. Jiang Li saw it with his own eyes and it was very beautiful.

That day she ate a roast chicken, a bowl of noodles, a pot of Biluochun, three pastries, and two oranges, and was very satisfied.

Then, he died that night.

When she died, she still didn't know how she died.

Ten days ago, Jiang Li finally started his plan, the plan to instigate other brothers in the village to rebel against the imperial court.

The first stop is the City Lord's Mansion.

The city lord is not only a person with a deep palace, but also a person who lives in a city with a deep palace.It would be difficult for Jiang Li to go in and see the city lord.

After thinking for a while, Jiang Li came up with the idea of ​​killing someone with a borrowed knife.

There is a conflict between the beggar gang and the bandits, and all the gangs in Sifang City know one thing.Because of the bandits, the Beggar Clan's branch leader had to change a group of people.

The city lord naturally knew about this.It's just that there is no follow-up, so he doesn't need to worry about anything. He just hits both sides.

Thus, Jiang Li's journey to attract hatred began.She needs Shanzhai to face enough crises.

After what happened in the alley, the ban on the cottage was lifted.Jiang Li proposed that he would like to go down the mountain frequently, and he got the boss's permission.

After all, Jiang Li was still trapped by murder.The three leaders all thought that they could not help Jiang Li solve this problem. Maybe they could go down the mountain.

Meeting more people and having more things happen means more possibilities.All three leaders know this.So when Jiang Li's leg injury is almost healed, he can go down the mountain more often.

After going down the mountain, Jiang Li kept following someone, the city lord's wife.

It seemed like a normal shopping trip, but Jiang Li's purpose was to follow the city lord's wife and know where she usually goes and what she does.

But after following her for several days, Jiang Li didn't find anything that could be exploited about the city lord's wife.

So, she thought of someone she could use, someone who would definitely come to Jiang Li for revenge.

A virtuous monk.

The messenger must be the beggar gang.

On this day, Jiang Li went to the noodle shop again.

As soon as we entered the noodle shop, the boss greeted us happily.

"Sir, are you here again?"

"Hmm. How was it? I taught you how to make noodles with large plate of chicken. How are you doing?"

"Does that need to be said? Just because of this dish, my place has been packed with people lately."

Seeing the unstoppable smile on the boss's face, Jiang Li looked inside again.Indeed, not a single seat was left.

"...It's okay. I brought the table, chairs and bench myself. I'll eat at the door. Give me one."

"okay."

With that said, both of them walked in.Jiang Li walked to the curtain, took out all the tables and stools in the storage space, and then dragged them out of the store.This way no one will know that she took this thing out of thin air.

Soon, the boss brought over a large plate of chicken noodles.Chili is relatively expensive, so chili and dogwood are included, as well as other spices.

"It's a pity that there are no potatoes."

Jiang Li sighed and started eating.

If there were crops like potatoes and corn, there would not be so many people in the world who would starve to death, and we would have a lot more delicious food to eat.

It's just that there is still no news from the system these days, otherwise Jiang Li could ask if he could buy some potatoes.

The last time I asked about the system, a line "Stay tuned" appeared on it. It seems that it won't be long before the system returns.

While eating noodles, Jiang Li saw the beggar outside from the corner of his eye.The beggar seemed to be begging for money, but when he passed by a rich-looking man, he didn't become enthusiastic.

Such an unconventional scene shows that the beggar is here to monitor him.

The boss had some free time at this time and came over to ask Jiang Li.

"what about the taste?"

"It's okay, just not what I expected. Still not enough pepper."

"The price of chili peppers is so high. If I really put too much, I would lose money. There are rich people in Sifang City, but most of them are ordinary people."

Jiang Li looked at his bowl and saw that there were about six or seven pieces of meat, but those in the room probably only had two or three pieces in their bowls.Ways to control costs.

So Jiang Li asked the boss again.

"Did you buy this chili yourself or did you buy it in the store?"

"In the shop."

"I heard that the prices of many things have increased recently. The price of chili has also increased, right?"

"It's okay. There are special merchant ships here for chili peppers. The price of other things has increased because there is one less boat on the river. The river crossing fee has also increased, and the number of people who can cross the river in one day is also limited. Now I think Crossing the river is no longer convenient.”

"...Oh, it's all my fault."

"your fault?"

"Nothing. I'm almost done eating. Let's pay."

Jiang Li said, feeling for money from the purse, but there were only two pennies in the purse.

The boss said quickly.

"Even if it's not enough, can I really charge you money?"

"It sounds like you didn't charge me before. I'll give you something nice."

Jiang Li glanced at his boss and took out a piece of jade from the storage space.

"I don't know if it's worth it, but it's considered payment in advance. I've covered all the food here at Shanzhai this month."

"okay."

After Jiang Li left, the boss looked at the jade.There is nothing special about this jade.There is just one word engraved on it.

The boss didn't know how to read, so he thought that after finishing work, he would go to the pawn shop to see how much it was worth.

After a few hours, the boss finally had time to go to the pawn shop.But at this time, Jade was no longer with him.

Monk Yide sat in his meditation room and looked at the jade.Engraved on the jade is the word "德", which represents a virtuous monk.

He took out another piece of jade from under the pillow, with "five" engraved on it, which represented the five elements of the king.

During the sworn ceremony, they stole four unpolished jade tablets.Wang Wuxing was also good at this kind of delicate work. He engraved four people's characters on it and then put it away randomly.

Seeing this piece of jade, Yide became even more convinced of what the Beggar Gang said.

The one who killed the three river bandits was Jiang Li.

His hands clenched the two jade plaques tightly, and he gritted his teeth so hard that his eyes nearly bled.

Yide wants revenge, but he also knows that he is not strong enough.Killing with a borrowed knife is his best option.

As a member of the Jianghu community, Yide naturally knew the city lord's attitude towards people in the Jianghu community.Balanced, no drama.

The next day, after telling the city lord about Jiang Li's killing of the river bandits, Yide quickly received a reply from the city lord.

The city lord wrote a letter, put it in an envelope, and gave it to his men.

"Go to Niutoushan and give them the envelope."

After finishing the instructions, the city lord said to monk Yide again.

"You came to me proactively instead of making trouble directly. Well done. Now that you have found me on this matter, I will naturally make the decision. Niutoushan has always behaved according to the rules, and this matter has nothing to do with them. It's the new female bandit. So I told them that as long as they hand over the female bandit and pay for the ferry, the matter will be over. Are you satisfied?"

"...Satisfied." Yide originally wanted the city lord to deal with the entire village, but again, he hated the female bandit the most.

Thinking of this, Yide asked the city lord again.

"What if they're not going to surrender?"

"If you don't listen to me, then Niutoushan will be under my control."

The city lord said so.

He also wrote this in the letter.

The city lord needs all gangs to abide by the rules, and they must abide by the rules of his city lord.As long as they defend, the city lord will protect them and help deal with conflicts between gangs and conflicts between gangs and the court.

If you don't abide by the rules, then the city lord won't have to worry about those conflicts.In other words, if a gang wants to destroy Niutoushan, and if the court wants to investigate gunpowder, the city lord doesn't need to worry about it.

On the same day, Niutoushan’s reply came.

They were willing to pay any amount of money for the ferry, but they were unwilling to pay Jiang Li.

This somewhat surprised the city lord.

He knew about the arrival of the female bandit Jiang Li, the conflict with the Beggar Clan, and the conflict with Li Hong.It's just that the city lord didn't expect that the bandits would protect someone who had only been here for a few months.

It's not that the city lord can't understand that the leader of the bandits is so loyal, how could he betray others?
But the words have been spoken and the city lord will not take them back.

Soon, the news of Shanzhai's break with the city lord spread throughout the gangs in Sifang City.

But they still haven't taken action.They didn't take action before, not because of the city lord, but because of the strength of the village.Same now.

Things were not so peaceful in the village. The head of the family sacrificed the entire village for the sake of loyalty.

But in their eyes, this matter is still an accident.Paper cannot contain the fire, this matter will get out sooner or later.

Another thing is that Jiang Li was just lucky.

The war is about to begin, and the court wants to recruit soldiers.

A team of people rushed into each house and took away any man of suitable age without any explanation.There is no honor in this method, it just allows them to die.

"Is this common?"

Jiang Li asked the brothers on the mountain, and everyone nodded.

The headmaster said to Jiang Li.

"My senior brother joined the army on his own initiative. There was war at that time, and he wanted to make a name for himself. Most people who practice martial arts are for this purpose. This is honorable. But catching young men is not."

"How to say?"

"A family only has one or two young and middle-aged men who can work. Without them, most of the work in the crop fields will be lost. Originally, a family could barely manage the crops, but now only women, old people and children are left. It is really hard. ah."

The boss said this and sighed.He has actually seen many such scenes.

At this time, someone else spoke to Jiang Li.

"I went up the mountain to avoid being captured. As an untrained person like me, if I go to the battlefield within half a month, I will die."

"Me too. But I escaped after I went in. They don't treat people like us who were captured as human beings at all. They beat them in various ways until they obeyed."

For a time, everyone began to discuss this topic.

The Third Master also sighed.

"One general's success will lead to the death of many soldiers. Whether the generals under their command are successful or not, many soldiers will die. Generals have the ability to protect themselves, and the soldiers who have been trained are about the same. Those strong men are basically expendable."

"And it's worthless to die."

The second master also took up the conversation and continued talking.

"As far as I know, this war is purely because our Northern Zhao Kingdom has its sights on the Five Haoyue Cities of the Southern Wei Kingdom. It has been more than a day or two. This time, our emperor found an excuse. The Prime Minister's son He robbed a good woman, but was killed by her husband. The emperor took advantage of the situation and said that this was a spy from the Southern Wei Kingdom who assassinated the son of our prime minister and wanted to send troops to cede the five cities of Haoyue. "

After listening to the second master's words, Jiang Li finally understood why he said those strong men died without any value at all.

This war was just to satisfy the emperor's desire for expansion.The prime minister's son was a scumbag, and the emperor didn't let his death be in vain.If those strong men knew that they were sent to die because of a scumbag, I don’t know how they would feel.

Two days later, the men who came to capture the young man had left.They couldn't stay long and had to go to the next place.

Most of the laborers in the farmers' homes were arrested, and some people in the city were also arrested.But those who have more money and pay to bribe officials will naturally let others let their family members go.

The world is in chaos, and this is not the first day Jiang Li has known about this.Even without her original plan, she already hates the court now.

If they can't be a good emperor, then step down and replace them.

Jiang Li thought so.

In the evening, she told everyone about it.

"Brothers, do you think our court is a good one?"

"Of course not."

Such negative words rang out, and the second master also followed suit.If it weren't for the fact that the county guard wanted to poison his wife and put the blame on him, he would still be a cook.

Jiang Li continued talking.

"I don't know what you think about the "Water Margin" I told you before. But I think that would be more like a bandit. Do justice for heaven."

"The military advisor wants everyone to go down the mountain to rob the rich and give to the poor?"

"No, that's not thorough enough. This court is rotten. If you want everyone to live a good life, you can only tear it down."

As soon as this was said, everyone immediately became quiet.

The third master said quickly.

"It's okay to say this kind of joke once or twice..."

"I'm not kidding. Now that the city lord is no longer on our side, he may come to attack us at any time. But what should we do? I know that the three of you are very powerful, but no matter how powerful you are, you are only mortals. What if? What should we do if someone comes here to poison us or do something else?"

This is something you really need to pay attention to.

In the past, the city lord protected them and could stop any danger.But now if the imperial court wants to crack down on copycats, it will go all out.

The second boss asked Jiang Li.

"Do you know how powerful the real army is? If it weren't for your explosives and incendiary bottles, it would be impossible for us to defeat the army that defeated Prince Mu's Mansion. There are only a few soldiers in Sifang City. Even if we really defeat Sifang City by then, Come down, the imperial court can really send [-] troops. Do you still have that much gunpowder?"

"Yes. Do you remember that I deceived that gang about the gunpowder raw materials before? I figured that the time was almost up, so I should be able to go find them. Even if they didn't make enough to make small artillery, they still had enough to make some gunpowder, which would be powerful. The wall exploded.”

The bandits believed this.They could tell the difference between Jiang Li's attitude of joking and telling the truth.She had already told everyone about the plan to cut off gunpowder raw materials and the small artillery makers she mentioned before, and they knew how powerful those weapons were.

With thirty men and weapons like that, it's really not a big problem to attack the city.

The bandits were a little shaken.

"Okay, let's end the discussion here. It's unclear whether that gang has made the raw materials."

The boss has spoken.

Jiang Li said again.

"So, I thought we would go take a look in the next two days. I think with their ability, they should be able to make it. Even if not, I have other ways to make a powerful weapon."

"... Let's talk about it in two days. This matter is too big."

When the boss said this, the people dispersed.Jiang Li just waited for two days before he could go looking for that gang.

The next night, Jiang Li died on the bed.

"Ding! The scapegoat has been used."
