Li Jian rides a fast horse and goes wherever it is remote.
He knew the custom of the imperial court, which valued a dead person.
If he died on the battlefield and died fighting bandits, then the court would probably not pursue him.
After all...the imperial court needs some loyal role models.
Everyone died, and they died loyally. Just let it go.
Of course, it's also possible that His Majesty is furious and doesn't intend to let it go casually, and will pursue the matter even after his death.
But... the person involved is dead, so he must be given a lighter punishment, right? Always get some mercy?
Anyway, here's a solution. There is no way around it.
So, Li Jian was looking for the bandits.
However, Li Jian is at the border and has not returned to Xianyang City for a while.
He didn't know where there were bandits.
But according to his experience, in any place with poor mountains and rivers, there will always be bandits, right? The most indispensable thing in this world is the poor, and the most indispensable thing in the world is the extremely vicious poor.
But... Li Jian ran far away and still couldn't find the bandit.
It's strange, is there not even a single thief in Guanzhong?
Li Jian is going crazy.
He never imagined that after L Shui's series of policies were launched, the people would be happy and welcome a new life.
Who wants to be a bandit when it is clear that as long as you work hard you can live a good life?
Being a bandit, he was afraid and risked his life to rob merchants. As a result, when you look back and settle the accounts, you will find that the money you get is not as much as what you get from working hard?
Isn't this nonsense?
So, Li Jian had no choice but to head eastward.
…………
In Shangjun's courtyard, Niu Cal ran over panting and said to Li Shui: "Sir, sir, the latest news is that Li Jian has absconded out of fear of crime."
Li Shui was slightly startled: "Isn't that true?"
Fu Yao's various plans were not hidden from Li Shui.
Fu Yao even gave Li Shui a copy of the photos he gave to Li Jian.
Li Shui thought for a while and said to Niu Dao: "Li Jian is a general after all. How can he be so courageous? Are he so brave that he can't do it?"
The calf nodded and said, "Yes."
Li Shui smiled and said, "Send a few people to follow him and see where he goes."
Niu Cal responded and went to arrange the manpower.
In fact, someone has been quietly following Li Jian.
However, after getting the banished immortal's approval, Niu Dao sent a few more people to replace him to ensure that they would not get lost.
…………
Li Jian is about to leave Guanzhong, and the place is finally a little poorer.
But he still didn't meet the bandits.
Later, Li Jian thought about it and felt that maybe his dress was too gorgeous and dazzling, and he looked like a noble person at a glance.
So he buried his clothes, bought a suit of merchant's clothes, and deliberately hung his money bag around his waist to show off in the market.
Even so, no thieves came to rob.
Li Jian thought for a while, and finally came to a conclusion: 80% of the time... the money was too little.
So he picked up a stone and put it into the money, making it look heavy.
Finally, the opportunity came.
When he was passing through a village, a half-year-old child couldn't resist the temptation. When he saw the money, he grabbed Li Jian's purse and ran away.
Li Jian was overjoyed, but when he saw the child running away, he felt that it couldn't be done.
If the opponent ran away, how could he fight and die for his country?
So he yelled and chased after him.
After all, Li Jian is an adult, with a strong body and long legs and thighs.
Taking one step forward, he could take the child three steps forward.
Soon, he caught up with the child in front of him.
Then he threw the kid to the ground.
The child seemed to be frightened, and quickly took out the money bag, offered it with both hands, and said "forgiveness" in his mouth.
Li Jian was a little helpless: "How can you fight and die for your country?"
He was unhappy and wanted to take the money bag away.
But it was so easy to find such a half-grown child and let him go. I don't know how long it would take for someone else to come.
Li Jian hesitated for a moment and said to the child, "Don't you want money?"
The child shook his head vigorously.
Li Jian said: "This is a wilderness, no one can see it. If you pick up that stone, hit me on the back of the head and beat me to death, my money will be yours."
The child backed away in horror.
Li Jian was anxious: "A man, how can you be so timid?"
He reached out and grabbed the child, who screamed in fright.
At this time, two villagers ran out, holding farm tools in their hands, pointing at Li Jian and shouting: "That thief, do you want to surrender the child?"
Li Jian was overjoyed when he saw that the two thieves were so aggressive and looked like they were about to fight.
He reached out and squeezed the child's arm hard.
The child screamed in pain.
The two farmers were furious, thinking that this foreigner was too arrogant. Even though there were adults here, he actually wanted to steal the child?
Is there any royal law? Is there any heavenly principle?
So they rushed over with hoes in hand.
Li Jian was a general of the Qin Dynasty who was skilled in martial arts.
When he saw the farmer rushing over, his body reacted naturally. He turned to one side to avoid the farmer's hoe, then raised his arm and hit the farmer's wrist.
The farmer could no longer hold his hoe and fell to the ground.
Then Li Jian kicked him out, and another farmer with a sickle fell to the ground.
The two people looked at Li Jian with a little fear. They suddenly realized that this guy was not a good person, so they became afraid and came over without the courage.
Li Jian was stunned: No, they don't dare to come over. Wouldn't my plan not work?
So Li Jian pinched the child again.
It can be seen that these two farmers have a sense of justice.
They looked at each other and rushed forward again, as if they wanted to save the child.
This time Li Jian was experienced. He did not make a decent counterattack and let the farmer's bastard punch hit him.
Unfortunately, this fist is not very lethal.
Li Jian felt that if he wanted to kill himself with this fist, the hands of these farmers would probably be hit.
In desperation, Li Jian just pretended to faint and fell to the ground, hoping that the farmer would take the opportunity to hit him again.
He fell. He closed his eyes, looking like he was at the mercy of others.
Li Jian felt that he was not in the wilderness, but lying on the execution ground.
In fact, what difference does it make where you lie down? They were all killed.
However, dying like this is somewhat different from my original intention.
He originally wanted to fight the bandits and die for his country, but now, he was inexplicably killed by a few old farmers.
I hope...I hope I can find out later that I was killed for catching a thief.
Well, it can barely be considered as catching a thief.
Just when Li Jian was hesitating, he heard footsteps walking towards him.
He could imagine the two old farmers standing next to him with weapons raised, nervous expressions on their faces, and then swinging them down violently.
Later, his head will be in a different place...
Unfortunately, the scene Li Jian imagined did not happen. He felt a foot on his back.
The feet were very hard, as if they were worried about getting up.
Li Jian was amused in his heart: If I want to get up, can you guys step on me?
Li Jian cooperated and did not move.
As a result, another foot stepped on.
Li Jian was a little confused: What is this for?
After all, two adults were stepping on him, so Li Jian had some difficulty breathing.
Then, he felt his arm being pulled behind his back, and then, he tightened suddenly...
There was actually a hemp rope that tied him up.
Damn it? Wait, aren't you going to kill me? Why are they tied up?
Li Jian struggled to stand up, but it was too late.
The two farmers were very skilled and had tied up Li Jian quickly.
Compared to their clumsy fighting skills, the skills of this group of people are truly amazing.
One of them suddenly said: "Brother, this man is very strong, can't he break free?"
Another person said: "What are you afraid of? When I tied him up, the rope was the strongest and I never broke free."
Li Jian: "?"
Is this guy a pig tyer? Do you think of me as a pig?
Do they want to be tied up and killed, or...
As a result, one of them asked: "Brother, what should I do with this person?"
Another person said: "Of course it will be handed over to the government to receive the reward."
Li Jian became anxious when he heard this: "Receive the reward? How can you hand it over to the government?"
He looked at the two people and said: "You just need to pick up a stone and hit me on the head, and everything will be solved. Why don't you try it?"
The two farmers looked at each other and said doubtfully, "This man seems to want to die."
One of them seemed to be more shrewd, and he suddenly realized and said: "I understand, this person must have other cases, so he does not dare to go to the government, and would rather die quickly."
Li Jian was confused: What a mess.
He said to the two farmers: "Kill me quickly and don't think nonsense."
These two people had no such intention at all. They left one of them to look at Li Jian, while the other went back to look for the car. It seemed that he had made up his mind to kill Li Jian.
Li Jian said to the people left behind: "Do you want to kill me?"
The man shook his head.
Li Jian seduced him for a long time and promised him some money. The main thing was to kill him. The money belonged to this man.
The man took out Li Jian's money and counted it, then shook his head.
If he killed Li Jian, he would be sued for his life. The money was too little to allow him to risk it.
Li Jian suddenly realized that he was really in trouble this time.
I wanted to die so much that I was hungry and couldn’t choose food, and I was in a panic and I couldn’t choose a way out. Without thinking clearly about what was going on, I set my sights on these two farmers, but they failed to die and even caused a lot of trouble.
So Li Jian changed his strategy and said to the man: "I am not a bad person, please let me go."
The farmer shook his head and looked at Li Jian as if he were a fool.
What a joke, how could you let him go? Don’t you want the reward that is about to be received?
Li Jian tempted the man: "As long as you let me go, my money will be yours."
"If you think about it carefully, if you send me to the government, can I give you such a large reward? You have to share it equally with your companions, and then it will be even less."
The farmer seemed a little tempted.
But when he reached out to untie the rope, he changed his mind.
He looked at Li Jian warily: "What if I untie the rope and you escape? No, you seem to be very strong and can fight well. What if you knock me down and take my money away?" ,what should I do?"
Li Jian: "..."
Why are everyone in Guizhou so smart now?
He was silent for a while and then said to the farmer: "Actually, I am not a bad person."
The farmer simply ignored him.
Li Jian pointed to the child next to him with his chin and whispered: "This child just stole my money. I caught him to catch the thief."
The farmer looked at the child: "Really?"
The child shook his head: "No."
Although this child is young, he is not stupid either. Now that Li Jian has no evidence, he will not admit it.
The farmer laughed and said to Li Jian: "There is no need to lie to me with your tricks. If you really wanted to catch the thief, why didn't you tell me just now?"
Li Jian sighed.
As time goes by, the farmer looking for the car should be back soon.
Once the car comes, Li Jian will be carried up and taken to the government.
Li Jian simply couldn't imagine that scene.
So he decided to use his official power to suppress others.
He said to the farmer with a serious face: "I am General Li Jian of the Qin Dynasty. Let me go quickly, otherwise, my beef jerky will not spare you."
The farmer was startled and a little scared.
But he looked at Li Jian's clothes, and his face showed suspicion again.
He said quietly: "Are you a general? But with your clothes, you are clearly a businessman. Don't lie to me."
Li Jian was a little broken. He didn't know how to explain the whole story.
He pointed to the mount tied to the tree in the distance and said, "Did you see that horse? That's my horse, an official horse. If you don't believe it, you can go and have a look."
Sure enough, the farmer went to see it and found that it was indeed an official horse.
Now he was a little doubtful of Li Jian's words.
Li Jian knew that he couldn't let him think too much about this kind of thing. He could only scare him.
So he glared and said fiercely: "Why don't you untie it for me quickly?"
The farmer yelled and hurriedly went to untie Li Jian's rope.
These common people are usually as fearful of officials as tigers, and their fear in their bones makes them lose their ability to judge.
At this time, the farmer who went to borrow the car had returned.
He said in surprise: "What are you doing?"
The farmer who stayed behind quickly repeated Li Jian's words.
After hearing this, the farmer laughed loudly, patted the left-behind farmer on the shoulder and said, "This time, it is your brother and my brother's turn to get rich."
The farmers who stayed behind were a little confused and asked puzzledly: "Why?"
The farmer said: "As far as I can see, this man is obviously a down-and-out businessman who lost his capital in business, so he stole an official horse."
"He saw the child here, so he wanted to capture the child and sell it. After we caught him, he lied and claimed to be a general of Da Qin."
"Calculate, how many crimes has he committed? We can get a reward for each crime."
The farmer's eyes suddenly lit up.
Li Jian said with some despair: "Everything I said is true."
The farmer who borrowed the car sneered: "What a piece of shit. How could a real general wear the clothes of a merchant? How could he be fighting with a child? How could he be knocked down by the two of us?"
Li Jian was a little speechless.
