At this time, a captain in the field held a big knife and said sternly: "Thief, you hurt people in the street and you dare to resist arrest. Do you know that we are the Jinwu Guards? If you resist us, we can kill you on the spot. I advise you to just surrender and follow Let’s go back to Jingzhao Mansion. We may even treat you leniently.”
Fear also appeared in the man's eyes. Although he has extraordinary martial arts skills, he does not dare to go up to the government. This is what feudal society is like. Most people can go into battle and kill the enemy without any fear. Protect your wife and children and fight against tigers and wolves.
But I was really scared to deal with small local officials. This is caused by the educational ideas from childhood in feudal society. Like the invasion by the Eight-Nation Allied Forces, the people were beaten horribly by the desperate tactics of the people. Finally, he kidnapped the local magistrate and came out, scolding him, and the people accepted the beating and killed him.
The man's eyes showed unwillingness and said to the Fifth Chief. "This general. These people bully people too much. I originally wanted to earn some money by doing manual labor in Dongshi and return to my hometown in Hedong Road.
How could I expect these people to say that I don't understand the rules? This place is under their jurisdiction and they asked me to pay 50% interest. If I don't pay them, they will teach me a lesson here. If I hadn't had some skills, I would have been disabled by them now. I also ask the general to show his caution. "
"Huh, don't make excuses. These are all your words. This East City is where dignitaries live, how can there be those who bully and dominate the market as you said." Wu Zhang replied. Then he asked the person who fell on the ground behind him
"You can wait to hear what he said. Is it true?"
"Sir, he is talking nonsense"
"General Zhang, don't listen to his nonsense."
I heard the corporal ask them. Everything these people say to me is a lie.
"You saw it. They said what you told was a lie. Can the confessions of so many of them not be worth it to you? Come with us to the county government office." The Wu Chief said to the man again
"This general. Although I, Xue Li, am down and out, I am also the queen of a famous family. I will never tell lies," the man said.
"The truth and lies will be decided by the governor when we get to the Yamen. Let's go. Don't let us do it. Although you are somewhat capable, you can't get out of this capital." After that, he stepped forward to bring the torture instrument to the man.
"Xue Li?? Is it Xue Rengui?" In Li Shenji's The Legend of Xue Rengui. Xue Li is indeed in despair. Only after the age of 30 did he join the army to show off his talents. And Li Shen stood for a while and understood.
These people looked like they were not good people at first glance. They were lying on the ground and pretending to be moaning. Li Shen guessed that it should be something like the Dongshi ruffian gang. They monopolized the Dongshi coolie business and asked people to pay their share of the money, but Xue Li didn't pay. They wanted to deal with Xue Li but were beaten by Xue Li, so they called in Jin Wuwei.
Li Shen even suspected that this Jin Wuwei had transactions with them. But Li Shen didn't care about that. What he cares about now is whether this man is Xue Rengui.
Even if you don't have such a burly figure and some martial arts, you still feel safe having your subordinates as a guard.
So before they were taken away by Xue Li, he shouted, "Wait a minute."
The Jinwu Guards turned to look at Li Shen. They did not know Li Shen, but Li Shen was dressed in fine clothes and was surrounded by maids and guards. He must be a noble person in this Dongshi, so he said politely. "I don't know what's going on with this husband."
Li Shen didn't want to cause trouble, so he whispered to the stone beside him. Give the token to Stone and let Stone handle it.
And he turned around and left with the guards and maids, and went straight to Cui's restaurant. Li Shen's operation shocked the captain for a moment, wondering what was going on.
He yelled and left, but then he knew that was not what he thought, because there was an eleven or twelve year old boy left behind. Shitou walked to the team leader and secretly showed Li Shen's token without saying a word.
"Ji..." Wu Zhang was about to speak when he saw the big "King Ji" written on the token.
"Xu... don't talk." Xiao Shitou said quickly
"I wonder what King Ji has ordered?" the captain asked in a low voice.
"The prince said that he doesn't care about any dirty things you have. The prince only wants this Xue Li, and the prince will not care about anything else." Xiao Shitou also whispered.
The Wu Commander immediately understood what Li Shen meant. I don't care what they do with these gangsters, just let Xue Li go.
"Yes, I will obey the prince's order. I hope the little brother told the prince that it was all a misunderstanding," the captain said quickly to Xiao Shitou. He also secretly handed Xiao Shitou more than a hundred coins.
Xiao Shitou didn't answer, but he knew whose money could be taken and whose money couldn't be taken, so he said to the corps leader.
"General, you don't have to be like this. Just let the people go. The prince said that he only needs the people and the other princes don't care."
When the Wu Commander saw that Xiao Shitou would not accept it or force him to do so, he knew that King Ji had taken a fancy to Xue Li and would not go after him, so he ordered his men to release him quickly.
After Xue Li was released, he moved his hands and feet. He walked towards the stone, bowed deeply and said thanks: "Thank you sir for saving me. I don't know your surname."
"The one who saved you is our prince. Let's go. My prince wants to see you." As he said this, Xiao Shitou bowed his hand to the corps commander and led Xue Li straight to Cui's restaurant.
Li Shen is currently sitting in a private room on the second floor of Cui's Restaurant. The restaurant is called Yunlai Restaurant, which means that guests come like clouds. Li Shen waited for a while, then Shitou took Xue Li upstairs and into the private room.
"I have met His Highness King Ji. Thank you very much for your help." Xue Li asked Li Shen's identity on the way.
"No need to be polite, come and sit down. I wonder where Mr. Lang is from and why he ended up here?" Li Shen said to Xue Li
"My lord. My surname is Xue Mingli and my courtesy name is Rengui. I am a native of Xiucun, Longmen County, Jiangzhou, Hedong Province. Because my family is poor, I want to come to Chang'an to make a fortune. If I become rich, I can support my wife and children."
Unexpectedly, when I arrived in Chang'an, there was no way to invest. I have already spent all my money, so I plan to earn some money and go back to my hometown in Hedong. Who knows. . . . Why. . . "I feel uncomfortable when I think of my wife and myself suffering at home.
After hearing this, Li Shen was overjoyed. It was indeed Xue Rengui, the brave champion of the three armies, who set the Tianshan Mountains with three arrows. I often heard this in storytelling when I was a child. I was so happy that I ordered: "Stone go and ask them to bring the best dishes and the best wine."
"It's the prince." Shitou went down to do it.
"Xue Langjun, I wonder what your plans are in the future." Li Shen asked tentatively.
"To be honest, Your Majesty, I am going to try my luck in the West Market. Find some work to earn some money and food, and then return to my hometown in Hedong to continue farming. I still have a wife waiting for me at home." Xue Rengui said helplessly.
When he came to Chang'an this time, he visited several generals' mansions, but they were all dismissed by the managers. He originally wanted to join the army, but he thought of his wife at home, so he decided to go home and farm.
"Mr.
"Your Majesty, just call me Rengui. Although I want to join the army, there is no war now, so I can't make meritorious service. I can only wait, and I only have a wife at home, so I really can't worry about it." Xue Rengui said.
"Rengui, let me tell you the truth. I admire your talent very much. If you are willing to join me, if there is an opportunity in the future, I will definitely recommend you to make contributions to the military." Li Shen did not hide it either.
Xue Rengui was overjoyed, although he had never heard of King Ji's name. But the prince is the prince, and being able to do things for the prince is much better than being a soldier and feeding him.
Although being a soldier can lead to meritorious service and promotion, the prerequisite is that you can survive and tens of thousands of people rush into battle. If your martial arts skills are high, you will die.
So when Xue Rengui heard that Li Shen wanted to recruit him, he quickly knelt down on one knee and saluted Li Shen. This was a sign of loyalty.
"Thanks to the high regard of the prince, I am willing to serve the prince all my life. I am loyal to Prince Ji through swords and fire." Xue Rengui saluted Li Shen.
"Okay, sit down. Let's eat first." Li Shen helped Xue Rengui up.
Soon the food and drinks were served. Li Shen asked everyone to sit down and eat together. Initially, everyone refused, but they all took their seats under Li Shen's pressure.
"Note. Historical data records that Xue Rengui's family fell into poverty and he was indeed poor. In order to change his fortune, he even had to move his ancestral grave. Later, his wife asked him to join the army. He was 30 years old when he joined the army."
