"You... Li Qing, please don't go too far!" Shi Heng looked stern and said, "Don't forget, I am the Marquis of Wu Qing, and even a seventh-grade one of yours will be in trouble..."
"Bang——!"
Shi Heng flew backwards, fell to the ground, and then slid out a few meters. His back was in burning pain, and his whole body seemed to fall apart.
"Your uncle..." Shi Heng looked ferocious and cursed.
Li Qing sneered and stepped forward: "Who am I and who are you? How dare you show off in front of me?"
"I am the Marquis of Wu Qing, the admiral... the chief military officer." Shi Heng spat, "You are a small seventh-grade sesame official, you are nothing!"
He knew that he couldn't beat Li Qing, so he could only...reason with Li Qing.
"You are called the following offender, do you understand?" Shi Heng said angrily: "With this, I can punish you for your serious crime."
"What the hell?" Li Qing was disdainful and kicked Shi Heng in the stomach.
Shi Heng's vision went dark in pain and he almost vomited out the food he had eaten at the brothel. He curled up like a cooked prawn.
"Li Qing, if you fucking dare, kill me." Shi Heng was really angry and shouted, "If you don't kill me today, I'll make you look good later."
"As you wish." Li Qing said with a cold tone, bent down and pinched his neck, and lifted him up with one hand.
Shi Heng is taller than Li Qing, but not much. Li Qing plus the length of one arm is enough to keep his feet from touching the ground.
'Ho ho ho...' Shi Heng couldn't breathe, his face quickly turned red, veins popped out on his neck, and his eyes gradually became bloodshot.
This feeling of suffocation was no less than capital punishment, and death was approaching step by step, severely damaging Shi Heng's physical and mental defenses.
He only lasted ten breaths before he couldn't hold it any longer.
Shi Heng is a stubborn donkey, but he doesn't want to die.
He said harsh words because he wanted to regain his position, not because he wanted to die.
Now that he has risen to great heights, it has only been a year since he was promoted to an official position, and no one wants to die like this.
Are you really fucking kidding... Shi Heng was speechless. He suddenly remembered Li Qing's deeds. He had killed officials before, and he killed two of them in one go. At the same time, he also made dozens of civil servants fat. Beat it up again.
Shi Heng immediately regretted it. Who could he provoke? Why should he provoke this evil star?
He wanted to give in, but he couldn't speak at all now, his body strength was getting weaker and weaker, and his consciousness was gradually blurring.
Shi Heng understood that he would die in a few moments.
It's okay to die on the battlefield. At least you can get a good reputation and the court will provide you with compensation, but what's the point of dying here?
According to Li Qing's urine, he would definitely dig a hole, bury him, and then pretend that nothing was wrong and do whatever he was supposed to do.
By then, no one would even burn paper for him.
Shi Heng was afraid, this way of death was too terrible.
He struggled hard to raise his arm, patted Li Qing's arm, and said with difficulty: I'm convinced!
'thump--! Li Qing let go of his hand.
"Hoho~" Shi Heng fell to the ground, gasping for air, as if the bellows had been broken, but he felt an unparalleled happiness.
The joy of surviving the disaster and the satisfaction of breathing the sweet air made him forget the pain and anger.
Shi Heng collapsed on the ground, showing an expression of enjoyment.
After a while, his breathing gradually subsided, and he regained some strength.
Shi Heng stood up and sat on the ground silently.
Li Qing sat down next to him and said calmly: "How do you feel?"
Are you toxic? Shi Heng's anger flared up again, but in the end he didn't dare to speak harshly again.
He knew that if Li Qing really dared to kill him, he would be able to do so.
To be tough with such a person is to seek death.
"As for that?" Shi Heng groaned: "Isn't it just a woman from a brothel? Are you going to kill me?"
He refused to accept it. How could it be said that he was also a hero of the Ming Dynasty who saved the country from disaster, and smashing up a brothel would lead to death?
Li Qing sneered: "It won't happen today, it won't happen tomorrow, it will happen one day. Shi Heng, have you ever heard that the rabbit is dead and the dog is cooked, and the bird is hidden behind the bow?"
Shi Heng hesitated, of course he had heard of it.
Li Qing continued: "Then do you know why most of the objects of Bird's End and Gongzang in the past dynasties were military generals instead of civil servants?"
Shi Heng was silent.
Li Qing asked himself and answered: "That's because there are too many generals like you. Relying on their military achievements, they are arrogant and wanton. How can the emperor tolerate it?"
"I'm not the only one doing the prostitution, but also the other civil servants?" Shi Heng retorted, "Why are you holding on to me?"
"Can it be the same?" Li Qing scolded: "Others still know how to cover up when they go to prostitutes. At least they look bright on the surface. How about you? You will cause trouble when you go to prostitutes, lest others don't know what you are capable of."
"I... Who told them to drive up prices? Damn it, you didn't even give me three hundred taels of silver to sleep with. Why is it inlaid with gold?" Shi Heng was still tough, but his tone softened.
"One is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer. There is nothing to complain about." Li Qing said lightly, "Is this your first time visiting a prostitute? Don't you know the rules of not sleeping with a husband?"
Li Qing sarcastically said: "After all, if you are not using your power to oppress others, what can you do to be so arrogant?"
"Do you really think that after being promoted to a noble rank, you can do whatever you want? Tell you, far away!" Li Qing snorted coldly: "Even the emperor can't do whatever he wants, so what do you mean by being a newly promoted Marquis of Wu Qing?
With your modest skills, it's not unusual for you to be played to death. "
"You..." Shi Heng was angry, but he didn't dare to yell out loud. He mocked and said: "Yes, you are so awesome. You can kill the ministers of the court without any problem. I really can't compare."
Li Qing smiled: "You are not convinced, right?"
"I'm convinced, I'm convinced." Shi Heng was afraid that he would do it again, so he hummed, "Who dares to disobey?"
But he was unwilling to admit it.
Li Qing did not care about this with him, but asked: "Why do you think the civil servants befriended you?"
"Flatter me." Shi Heng hummed, "I..."
"Speak carefully." Li Qing's eyes were dangerous.
"..." Shi Heng said in a muffled voice: "Yu Qian's contribution is first, I... you are second, and I am third, but you didn't get promoted, of course they..."
He suddenly paused, realized something, and asked:
"Is it because the emperor doesn't reward you, or you don't want it?"
"The emperor wanted to grant Yu Qian the title of a marquis, but Yu Qian refused." Li Qing said, "The emperor also wanted to grant me the title of a marquis, but I also refused."
"Why, why?" Shi Heng was surprised, "The Marquis doesn't even want it?"
"We don't want it, and we don't care about it." Li Qing smiled and asked, "Do you think it is a blessing to be granted the title of Marquis?"
"Is not it?"
"At least not for you." Li Qing shook his head and said, "Because your virtue is not worthy of your qualifications."
"You fucking fart!" Seeing that Li Qing was willing to speak politely, Shi Heng suddenly became more courageous, "I helped defend Desheng Gate and rushed to the aid of Anding Gate, fighting the most difficult battles. Why did it get into your mouth? Doesn’t virtue match his position?”
"It's not that you don't have enough merit, but your virtue." Li Qing said quietly, "Also, be careful what you say."
Shi Heng: "..."
"Shi Heng, do you know why the emperor granted you the title of marquis?" Li Qing asked.
"Of course I am... I have made great contributions, and the emperor rewards me based on my merits. Is there anything strange about this?" Shi Heng said matter-of-factly.
Li Qing sneered: "Yes, you have made a contribution, but don't you think the emperor's reward is a bit big?
Even if I grant you the title of earl, it is enough. After all, you are not the commander-in-chief, and the number one hero is Yu Qian;
And the emperor directly gave you the title of marquis, and you were still a world king. Not only that, but he also promoted you to the position of admiral and commander-in-chief. What kind of favor is this? "
"This..." Shi Heng was stunned. When Li Qing said this, he felt that he had gotten a big deal.
If you really want to move him away and crush him to pieces, he is a general who charges into battle, but he is really no match for the commander-in-chief Yu Qian.
Li Qing sighed: "So, you have no idea why the emperor promoted you."
"Then tell me, why?" Shi Heng said dullly.
"Because you are not like me and Yu Qian, you are a military commander, a pure military commander." Li Qing said, "The emperor seems to be supporting you, but in fact it is to support military commanders. Do you know why he is like this?"
"Because the civil servants are powerful?"
Li Qing smiled: "Not bad, it seems he's not that stupid yet."
A look of pride appeared on Shi Heng's face, which soon turned into anger: "You are stupid."
Li Qing was too lazy to argue with him about this, and said quietly: "But you, you accept the benefits of the civil servants, including money and concubines;
If you were the emperor, what would you do if you faced this? "
Shi Heng was stunned for a moment, then shuddered, and soon broke into a cold sweat.
