Liaozhai Great Sage

Chapter 433
Seeing the dozen or so corpses lying in a pool of blood at the gate of the yamen, Li Xiuyuan didn't show any joy.

Killing more than a dozen stupid officials will not solve the fundamental problem, because what should have happened has already happened, and the tragedy they caused will not be improved because of their deaths. All he can do is to let these stupid officials get better due retribution and punishment.

It is said that there are three evil retributions in the world.

The present report, the future report and the current report.

Some people who do evil will be lonely and miserable for the rest of their lives. This is the retribution of this world.

There are also some evildoers who will reincarnate in the next life to repay their debts after death. This is the retribution of the next life.

What's more, there is immediate retribution. If you do evil things immediately, there will be retribution immediately.

"Don't restrain their corpses, put their corpses here for a day, and let their relatives restrain them tomorrow." Li Xiuyuan said.

"Mr. Li, why is this? It's a bit against the rules to have a dead body for a day." Duan Wenruo walked over and hesitated and said: "And they are all high-ranking officials in Jinling City. I am afraid that Mr. Li's move will easily attract some hatred, which is not good for them. Mr. Li, you sit in Jinling City."

Li Xiuyuan said: "My violent corpse day is not just to vent the anger in my heart, but the current situation needs to kill chickens and scare monkeys. The city of Jinling depends not on benevolence and righteousness, but on majesty and force. This is the way of troubled times. I'm cruel, but I have to do this in this world, please understand, if you can't understand, it's okay."

Duan Wenruo sighed and said nothing more.

"If Mr. Duan has nothing to do, you can go to the prison and invite Fu Tianchou out. There are many things in the city now. It would be best if he is willing to come out to handle government affairs. If he is not willing, forget it."

Li Xiuyuan said that although he didn't like Fu Tianchou, he had to admit that his ability to govern was indeed good.

"I will tell Lord Fu about this matter." Duan Wenruo said.

At this time, a group of people came in a hurry while the night was still dark, and a military general at the head was covered in blood and ran over in a hurry.

He was shocked when he saw the bodies of civil and military officials on the ground.

"You, you actually overestimated all these adults." It was none other than Zuo Qianhu who came. At this moment, he looked at Li Xiuyuan in surprise, as if he couldn't believe what he did.

Li Xiuyuan said: "Does Zuo Qianhu think that these people should not be killed?"

He knew Zuo Qianhu's character was loyal, but like Fu Tianchou, he was loyal to the imperial court and only wanted to reimburse the country.

Nai Hekong has the strength of force, but he doesn't have the corresponding mind to see the world clearly.

So much so that he became a court eagle dog.

Zuo Qianhu's expression was uncertain at the moment. He dared not say that these officials should not be killed, because he knew that the envoy Yang personally led the civil and military officials out of the city to surrender, but if he wanted to kill them all, he would be able to accept them all. no.

"Since Zuo Qianhu doesn't speak, you agree with my approach. There are some things you don't understand, so you don't need to think about them. I heard about your brave killing of the enemy. Are you interested in being a general under my command?" ?”

Li Xiuyuan said: "Your thousands of households are empty positions, and mine are all real power. There are actually 1000 people at your disposal."

Zuo Qianhu clasped his fists and said, "Whether to be transferred to the army or not depends on the imperial court's will, humble positions have no right to decide."

"That's how I know it. I'm a guerrilla general now, and my position is above your thousand households. Now in Jinling City, I'm in charge of fighting bandits and defending the city. You should listen to my orders. Now I order you to rectify the defenders. Responsible for the city defense, if there is a problem with the city defense, I will ask you." Li Xiuyuan said.

Zuo Qianhu didn't hesitate, and immediately said: "Yes, General, I will take orders from a lowly position."

After receiving the order, he left quickly without any hesitation.

Li Xiuyuan knew that he would faithfully perform his duties and would not ruin the country's affairs because of personal grievances.

Foolish and loyal people sometimes have a side worth admiring.

"It's getting late, let's all go back and rest, there are still many things to be busy tomorrow." Li Xiuyuan waved his hand.

"How can the general do without guards around him?" a subordinate asked in surprise.

Li Xiuyuan said: "I have my own guard arrangements, so there is no need to worry, just go."

All of them hesitated for a moment, and obeyed the order to leave with their hands clasped together.

"Go back to the house."

Li Xiuyuan rode a dragon horse towards his own Li Mansion.

Not far from him, a gust of wind whizzed past, condensed and fused together with the cold wind of the night.

"Long Beard, Long Tongue, Zi Mu, and Red Eyes, the four ghost kings, after the battle, go and collect the lonely ghosts outside the city at night, and don't let them harm one side."

Li Xiuyuan glanced at the direction where the wind was howling, and said calmly.

"Yes, my lord." There was a ghostly whisper in the air.

"But this matter is a little difficult." Suddenly, the voice of the long-bearded ghost king came.

Li Xiuyuan asked, "What's the difficulty?"

"The battlefield outside the city is full of blood, and the evil spirit is soaring to the sky. It is difficult for ghosts and gods to approach. Even the evil spirits hide in the corpses and dare not show up. They have to wait until the evil spirit dissipates and the smell of blood disappears before they can enter the battlefield." Long beard The king of ghosts.

"How long will it take?" Li Xiuyuan asked.

"It will take ten days, half a month more."

Li Xiuyuan said: "It's too slow, is there a way to get rid of this evil spirit?"

"Cleaning up the corpses and cleaning the battlefield can reduce this evil spirit, and it will be even more effective if you do another ritual."

"So that's how it is. I made a note of it. You are in charge of the situation in the city. If anyone plots a crime and wants to set off a rebellion, let me know immediately. If necessary, you can forcibly seduce the soul." Li Xiuyuan said.

He didn't believe that there would be an iron bucket in Jinling City, and there was no undercurrent at all.

In times of war, anything can happen.

"Yes. The little ghost is ordered." The four ghost kings all agreed.

suddenly.

The Son-Mother Ghost King said, "Wait a minute, someone is going to ambush you in the alley ahead."

"Oh, someone is going to ambush me? How many people are there?" Li Xiuyuan asked with a change of expression.

"It's a girl holding a sword, about fourteen or fifteen years old." Said the ghost king.

Li Xiuyuan said: "Since you are alone, you don't have to care too much about it. It's probably a personal grievance, and I will meet her."

With his martial arts, unless he is ambushed by the old black mountain demon, he doesn't need to worry, not to mention there are four ghosts and gods around him. Once the supernatural powers appear, even the martial arts master will retreat.

He passed the alley as he spoke.

Suddenly, a woman who looked like a rich lady bit her lip, rushed out with a sword, and shouted: "Give me back my father's life."

"Keng~!"

The next moment, the long sword trembled, flew out, and stuck on the wall next to it.

The woman fell to the ground with a cry of pain.

"Why do you do assassination without even being proficient in martial arts?" Li Xiuyuan asked, taking back the waist knife in his hand.

The Long Tongue Ghost King said suddenly: "Master, this woman is Jiang Rong, she is the daughter of the vice-president who was beheaded by you before, today she heard that her father was killed, so she came to seek revenge from you."

Li Xiuyuan immediately understood when he heard the words.

He said: "Are you the daughter of Vice President Jiang? That's right, I killed your father, and his head is still in the gate of the yamen. I can understand how you want to avenge your father. It's just that your father surrendered the city to the enemy. Don’t mention me for the crime, if it were the imperial court, it would order to kill you, I think you are young and ignorant, you can go, I don’t care about what happened today.”

"Officer Dog, you killed my father, and you and I have a sworn hatred."

Jiang Rong was weeping, and stared at Li Xiuyuan full of hatred: "Today I can't assassinate you if I am not good at martial arts, and next time when I learn martial arts, I will definitely cut off your head."

"Then you go to practice martial arts. Come to me when you feel that martial arts can kill me." Li Xiuyuan said: "But please think carefully before coming back. Think about whether there is still an old mother in the family who needs to serve, whether there are any younger brothers and sisters who need it." Take care."

After speaking, he continued to ride away.

Jiang Rong stood up and looked at the unmoving young general in black armor sitting on the dragon horse, and said loudly, "You will regret it if you let me go."

"If I want to rule the world, why should I be afraid of bearing the hatred of a human life?"

Li Xiuyuan left these words and disappeared at the end of the street.

Jiang Rong left with hatred, she doesn't understand Li Xiuyuan's words now.

"This woman hates the young master so much, she shouldn't let him go so easily, how about the little devil go and seduce her soul?"

"No, leave your name in the book of life and death. She won't seek revenge from me. She will marry and have children, and live her life in a normal way."
