Zhao Jiantian's tears flowed like a river, covering his face with mud and soaking his front. He was still holding Niu Qianjin's thigh and rubbing against him as hard as he could. The blood directly dyed Niu Qianjin's bright blue brocade trousers into a flower.
Niu Qianjin tried hard but couldn't push it away, so he shouted urgently: "You kid, let go of your hands. Stay away from me. These are my newly bought pants. What nonsense are you talking about! Why have I become your adopted brother? You give me say clearly?"
Zhao Jiantian reluctantly let go, wiped his tears, and sobbed: "Ah! My sworn brother, you don't know. My sworn brother He Biao, he told me personally yesterday: 'Brother Zhao, you and I are as close as brothers, press It stands to reason that you should have worshiped me as my disciple. Tomorrow, I will take you to Mu Gang. We will become brothers by then, and you will recognize Liu and my father-in-law as your adopted father! From now on, we will be a family. Let’s drink together, We have meat to eat together. In this way, I am naturally happy for a day. But who would have thought that the jealous hero will die early, and the good people in the world will not live long! Such a tragic thing happened before we had time to form a sworn alliance. But in my heart I have long recognized He Biao as my brother and Gang Leader Liu as my foster father. In the afternoon, when the county magistrate hid elite soldiers in the Yamen and assassinated my foster father and others, I was not in the Yamen and had no chance to stop him. In this way, I could only hide my thoughts. , I wanted to assassinate the dog officer for revenge. But I didn’t expect that the dog officer was cunning. Before I could take action, he was convicted of collaborating with the enemy. Not only was I dismissed from my post, but I was also beaten eighty times with a stick. Now, I am living on my last breath, just for Avenge your brother!"
Zhao Jiantian cried so hard that he burst into tears, and everyone was fooled into nodding. People in the world value loyalty the most. After hearing these words, no matter whether they are true or false, it is not easy to embarrass Zhao Jiantian anymore.
Niu Qianjin felt sad when he heard that, patted Zhao Jiantian on the shoulder, and said seriously: "Brother Zhao! No, sworn brother! You have worked hard. What a good brother. When I take that guy's head, I will avenge our father and eldest brother. . From now on, you will be my brother. Good brothers will have flesh to eat together for the rest of their lives!"
Niu Qianjin was so stupid that he really recognized Zhao Jiantian as his eldest brother. The other characters also believed most of them. Zhao Jiantian was lucky enough to survive, and his heart was filled with joy. Still with tears in his eyes, he held Niu Qianjin's hand tightly, nodded hard, and said: "Brother! I have found a family for you!"
The disciples of Mu Bang and Donglai Sect were all deceived by Zhao Jiantian to the point of tears in their eyes. Even Liu Jiehao and Mo Lushan comforted him. Then he sent several disciples to carry Zhao Jiantian and Jia Xu home for treatment.
Jia Xu was carried home. His wife Wang saw her husband covered in blood and thought he was dead. He started wailing loudly, and all the neighbors on the left and right came to watch when they saw the movement.
After Jia Xu waited for the Mu Gang disciples to leave, he pretended to struggle to open his eyes and whispered a few words to Wang. Mrs. Wang then sent her neighbors away and closed the courtyard door.
There was no one in the courtyard, so Jia Xu got up and went into the house to change clothes and wash his face.
When Wang turned around and saw that Jia Xu had recovered from his illness, she was puzzled: "Old man, are you okay? I thought you were about to die."
Jia Xu smiled and replied: "I was just pretending. I got a few sticks on my butt, but it wasn't that severe. The blood was applied in advance."
Wang asked: "Ah, what kind of statement is this? I heard that a living Yama came to your Dongjie County Office. I originally wanted to see you, but the street was blocked by the gang. I had to go back. Home. Tell me what happened?"
Jia Xu put on a clean silk robe and told Mrs. Wang: "Don't worry about this. Don't ask around about a woman's family. You go and rent a carriage for me. If anyone asks, just say, I'm going to see a doctor." After a while, , I left in a carriage. You take all the money at home and go back to your parents' home. If I am still alive tomorrow, I will pick you up. If I die, you can take care of yourself in your parents' home. The money at home, Even if you save a few flowers, you can eat and drink for a lifetime."
Mrs. Wang looked worried and said: "What's the matter? What happened? Is something really going to happen to the Dongjie Yamen? I've heard about it. He killed a lot of people. Otherwise, you can run away with me. The big deal is, We won’t do this job anymore.”
Jia Xu frowned and said, "Don't say any more. A gentleman cannot break his promise to others. Since he has promised, he must try his best to do it. Besides, there is no safe place in the world. As long as there are people, they will be bullied. You too Pack your things quickly."
Jia Xu put on new clothes and a hat, covering himself up tightly, then took a carriage and went to Tianqing Mansion to find Yuwen Zifan.
At this time, in the inner palace meeting hall. Tianqing Mansion, Nei Si Mansion, and Tianwei Mansion, a total of 12 of the 15 divine arresters serving in the three bureaus came. Eighteen other generals have also arrived. They are also discussing how to deal with the chaos in the East Street Yamen.
The Department of Yin and Yang is responsible for this matter, and Yuwen Zifan should be the first to speak.
Hear him say: "Everyone, Yin Shaozheng is behind the Mu Gang and Dong Lai Men. If we send troops, we are afraid of causing greater trouble. This Luofan is arrogant and killed so many people in one day. Sooner or later, such a person will It is inevitable that he will die. I think it is unnecessary to cause chaos in the world to save him. Therefore, my opinion is simple, let him fend for himself. Let's clean up the mess tomorrow."
After Yuwen Zifan finished speaking, everyone present nodded. Only the Heavenly Guard God arrested General Yu Wenzhao and frowned. He is the elder brother of Yuwen Zifan, and he is also the most capable and prestigious among the young disciples of the Iron Master Sect. He is also Li Benxin's right-hand man. Moreover, he is an upright man and never shows any favoritism.
After hearing Yuwen Zifan's opinion, Yu Wenzhao said seriously: "I don't agree with Yuwen Zifan's statement. Whether to send troops or not does not depend on who the other party is, but should follow the laws of the dynasty. Liu Tong and others, It is in line with the law to rush into the Yamen to commit murder and be killed. Can't we resist if someone kills someone in our Yamen? In this case, where is the majesty of the dynasty. My suggestion is to send troops to destroy the majesty of these two gangs, so as to avoid unnecessary trouble. Let them continue to be arrogant."
After Yu Wenzhao finished speaking, others chose to remain silent at the same time. It seems they don't quite agree with him.
In the morning, the godly Tian Heng, who had just been beaten by Luofan and his father-in-law, had been sitting with a straight face. He is in his early forties, has a square face, big eyes, dark skin, and bulging muscles. He is also a top expert in the Iron Master Sect.
Hearing that Yu Wenzhao said that he was going to send troops, Tian Heng said coldly: "This Luofan has only been here for a day, and he has already offended two heavenly ministers and two major gangs. If we insist on going our own way to save him, we will be directly enemies of the five major families. Tomorrow morning, Tian The king of the capital will be embarrassed by his ministers. When the time comes, how will we explain to the king? If the four major families cause chaos, no one can bear the responsibility. We must not send troops to protect the Dongjie County Government. They should take responsibility for the trouble they caused themselves. deal with!"
Everyone nodded in agreement again.
The first-rank Tianqing of the Nei Si Mansion arrested Li Jiudou. He also looked serious and agreed: "That's true. It's not that we don't want to save, but that we can't save. Think about it, we can't handle such a big thing as the murder of the Prime Minister. What's more, a small official in Dongjie Yamen. For It is unwise for him to offend the four major families. If we protect him today, the four major families will definitely send out their armies tomorrow. At that time, I am afraid that the King of Tiandu will be forced to kill that Luofan himself, which will only trap the King of Tiandu. and injustice.”
After Li Jiudou finished speaking, everyone nodded, thinking it was reasonable.
Speaking of Li Jiudou, he was not only Li Ben's confidant, but also his father-in-law. He naturally wanted to consider Li Benxin when he spoke. The old man is nearly seventy years old, with white hair and beard, slim face and smart face. He was originally a declining nobleman named Li. He gathered a bunch of coolies under his command and built a clothing store. Specializing in things like unblocking sewers, sweeping streets, and cleaning up sewage.
This person has few abilities, but he knows how to adapt to the changing circumstances. At the beginning, Li Benxin had just taken over and no one was optimistic about him. He gave Li Benxin his two beautiful daughters. In this way, Li Benxin trusted Li Jiudou very much and promoted him to the high position of First Grade Tianqing.
Seeing Li Jiudou speak, everyone naturally agreed.
Yuwen Zifan persuaded his eldest brother Yu Wenzhao again, saying: "Brother, this Luofan really can't be saved. He is famous for not being afraid of God. Our Yin and Yang Division has investigated him clearly. He never blinks an eye when he kills. He is so young. The number of people killed has exceeded 10,000. Didn’t you hear the legend among the people outside that the boy said that King Tiandu broke the law and he dared to kill him. If we save him, we will be in more trouble later. Anyway, this boy is not a good person. There is no need for us to do it. He caused chaos in the world."
After hearing this, the other divine catchers and catchers also began to criticize Qi Luofan for his arrogance. For a time, the proposal to send troops for rescue turned into a scene of condemnation of Luofan.
Seeing that Yu Wenzhao was the only one who agreed to send troops, it was hard for him to offend the public. Moreover, this meeting was discussed under Li Benxin's instructions. Everyone's opinions are equal to Li Benxin's opinions. If he insists on going his own way to rescue, people will say that he is headstrong and does not obey the king's will. In this way, he will definitely lose Li Benxin's trust.
