Jia She was not a weak civil servant who was appointed as a high official. He came from a humble background and worked for decades to become a magistrate. He was unusual in terms of experience, vision, courage and even Qi-nurturing skills. But only now did he realize that in the face of such severe physical pain, any energy-raising skills were a joke. If he couldn't bear it, he couldn't bear it.
Although Li Yun has mostly appeared as a civil servant close to Guo Ning in the past two years, when he was young, he was a brave man who could fight with his brother in battle, but his martial arts skills were not outstanding. His hand was very strong. After a sudden exertion, more than an inch of the seven-inch-long dagger's blade penetrated into the eucalyptus wood, and the remaining five inches trembled violently.
Every time it trembled, the sharp edges on both sides of the dagger seemed to tear new wounds in Jia She's palm. Jia She stared wide-eyed, seeing his own blood gushing out, feeling the coldness of the dagger, and feeling the hard dagger touching the broken bones next to him again and again, causing a burning pain to spread from his palms to his whole body. spread.
He wanted to roll around with his palms in his hands, but he dared not move anyway, fearing that the dagger would cut the entire palm of his left hand in half. He opened his mouth to scream in pain, but Gao Xin came from the side and covered his mouth fiercely.
Gao Xin's strength was much greater than that of Li Yun. Jia She felt that his face and neck were surrounded by iron arms. Not to mention struggling and shouting, even breathing became difficult. So he could only kick his legs as hard as he could, tears and snot coming out of his eyes.
During the whole process, none of the Baoying County officials sitting at the bottom dared to speak out or move.
After a while, until Jia She's struggle slowed down slightly and his face was covered with runny nose and tears, Li Yun asked, "Jia Shen, are you in pain?"
Jia She nodded desperately, but unfortunately his mouth and chin were surrounded by Gao Xin's arms, so he couldn't move much.
"You have to endure the pain and don't shout. If you shout casually, I'm afraid it will greatly hinder your life. Do you understand?"
Jia She continued to nod.
Li Yun said with satisfaction: "Okay, Mr. Jia County is indeed a smart man."
He glanced at Gao Xin, who released his hands, picked up Jia She's robe and wiped them before returning to his seat.
Jia She watched eagerly as he returned to his seat, saw that Li Yun and Zhou Keshan were both polite, and saw that the dagger was still stuck on the back of his hand, with blood still flowing. He felt that if the blood continued to flow, he might die, but he could not muster the courage to pull out the dagger.
"Jia Xianzun, your methods are very good, so Lin Zhen and others have indeed caused trouble in Zhongdu."
"I really don't know about this! I just made an appointment with them for Ying Zhizhou. At most, I arranged for them to go to Xingxing for their family to stay... Mr. Li, it's not me shirk responsibility... What will they do in Zhongdu? I really don’t know!”
"Since you don't know, I will tell you."
Li Yun sneered twice: "They launched a riot in the Marshal's Mansion. They first seriously injured Wang Shixian, the admiral of our navy and a close friend of Marshal Guo; then they attacked my daily living place of the Marshal. The Marshal's wife was pregnant that day, and this move almost disturbed the people. The marshal’s wife and children forced Marshal Guo to fight with weapons in person; their attack triggered a rebel rebellion in Zhongdu, which resulted in the death of the emperor of the Jin Dynasty.”
After Li Yun said something, Jia She's face turned pale.
Finally, Li Yun asked: "You said that they have made such a big fuss. Is it reasonable for me to go south to seek justice on behalf of the Kingdom of Jin? Those of you who have instigated attacks before and after, do you deserve to die?"
"Yes, yes. Oh no, no, no."
Under the influence of the pain, Jia She's usually flexible tongue was almost in knots. He stumbled and said something, which made everyone in his family laugh bitterly.
Li Yun reached over and held the dagger.
"Jia Xianzun, you helped us when the Southern Dynasty obstructed the grain trade at the beginning of the year. Our navy has always had a clear grudge, so you don't have to die. As long as you continue to be a smart person, this knife is enough." .”
"Oh?" Jia She was overjoyed.
He first looked at the staff around him, then at Li Yun, and cautiously stood up and approached: "Mr. Li, what do you want me to do? Ahem, I'm just a small magistrate... Maybe, I can make up for it. How about two thousand guans? "
As soon as these words came out, both Zhou Keshan and Gao Xin sneered.
Jia She quickly gritted his teeth: "Add five hundred guan! Two thousand five hundred guan!"
Li Yun couldn't help but shake his head.
This guy is really interesting. In the past six months, he has obtained more than five or six three thousand coins from smugglers in the Song Dynasty. He seems to be a person who has an eye for money. But Li Yun had previously asked local officials and learned that this person had secretly donated thousands of coins to expand the city wall.
As a result, the ax came to the rescue now, and the price he offered was only 2,500 guan?
"Jia County Zun, Jia County Zun!"
"I am here."
"I have discovered the secret room where you hid your money in the backyard. With or without your words, all that money is mine!"
This was like stabbing Jia She in the heart, causing him to scream "Ouch".
Taking advantage of his shouting, Li Yun withdrew the dagger, and Jia She's exclamations immediately turned into screams of agony. Fortunately, he only screamed this time, otherwise Gao Xin would have pounced on him and covered his mouth again.
Jia She was shaking from the pain. He couldn't help curling up and pressing his palms between his chest and abdomen. He gasped for air and heard Li Yundao in his ears:
"Don't mention it again if you have money or not. When I went south, Marshal Guo specially ordered us to take you to Zhongdu."
"Where is this? I am the magistrate of Baoying County in the Song Dynasty. I must be responsible for guarding the land!" Jia She suddenly raised his head.
Having already lost so much money, how could he be robbed and taken to Zhongdu, and his career would be over? How could that be allowed? Jia She felt like the world was spinning for a moment. He turned to Zhou Keshan and begged: "Mr. Zhou, our friendship is not weak. Could you please say something for me?"
Zhou Keshan sighed: "Jia Xianzun, such a big thing happened in Zhongdu City, and my marshal is furious. If you don't go to Zhongdu, you have to go to Huangquan. You have to choose one of the two roads."
Jia She immediately fell silent.
However, Li Yun saw that his face was dejected and comforted him: "Don't panic, the marshal just has some questions that he wants to consult in person."
"What's the consultation?"
Jia She reluctantly cheered up: "I still know a little bit about the officialdom of the Song Dynasty. As long as it has nothing to do with court secrets, Li Langzhong can actually ask now without having to go to Zhongdu... I will definitely tell everything I know."
"Haha, haha... Of course it has nothing to do with court secrets, but I always have to go to Zhongdu."
Li Yun smiled and said: "To tell you the truth, the marshal feels that there is one less person around him who really understands the situation in Song Dynasty, so he wants to invite you to Zhongdu so that he can ask for advice at any time. For example, who are the people in your country who have unfavorable intentions for us? ?Who are the people in your country who are fully planning to perform meritorious service on the border? Which force is closely connected with the Kaifeng Prefecture in Nanjing? If you ask clearly, we will be able to make mistakes in our future actions and not be passive. In addition... …”
Li Yun suddenly patted his forehead.
"It was an oversight and I said too much. There are so many people present now, so I can't listen to what I'm going to say next."
He turned around and asked Gao Xin: "What should I do?"
Gao Xin has always loved good food and wine, and he was enjoying a plate of yellow bream with some intoxication at the moment. When Li Yun asked, he didn't even look up and said directly: "Then kill him."
"Kill!" There were two exits, and the sound of arrows hitting the hall was heard sharply.
Those Baoying County officials who were sitting at the bottom were all covered with arrows, and each of them had more than one arrow in their chest and abdomen, or in their throat or face. They turned over and fell down without saying a word, and the originally subtle smell of blood in the hall suddenly became so strong that it made people want to vomit.
How could Jia She have thought that he would kill someone again?
He jumped up wildly, waved his injured hand and shouted: "Stop! Stop!"
When the arrow stopped, the dead people in the hall were already covered on the floor. Zhou Keshan couldn't bear it, but Li Yun continued without changing his expression: "Jia County Lord, please come back and take a seat. We don't have much time, so you have to do me a small favor."
These officials and Jia She lived together in Baoying and had some friendship with each other. Even if some of them preyed on the common people or were greedy for money and lust, why were they all killed?
Jia She said sternly: "Why don't you have much time? Why do you want to do a small favor again? If you kill another person in Baoying City today, then don't say anything! I can't help! Just kill me!"
"Okay, okay. Then don't kill too many people."
Li Yun looked at Zhou Keshan and Gao Xin who were sitting on the left and right, stood up and smiled at Jia She and said, "That's what father said."
"What? What father?"
Jia She was stunned. He felt that he had lost too much blood and had serious problems with his brain and hearing.
