"Even if you die, Yan Qing will come to me for revenge. If he's unlucky and gets caught by me, I'll skin him …"
The green treetops swayed in the wind by the river, and the bright sunlight shone in from behind. Ning Yi lowered his head and turned over the rice paper in his hand. On the other side of the room, Lu Junyi's eyes were already filled with anger, "The initiator will not have a successor. If you dare to do this, who knows if someone will skin you in the future! Come at me, see if I'll blink when the time comes! "
"That's Yan Qing. You'll die from the sun." Ning Yi lowered his head to read the information, tapping the back of his hand with his fingertips. After a while, he said indifferently, "I told my girlfriend that people will meet tigers in this world, and it won't let you go just because you're kind to others. I'm a very simple person. There are many things that are unfair between people. Others may fight fiercely, fiercely, or for power, or for their parents, but there's always one thing that can pull us together … and that's fighting with our lives. "
Ning Yi was still looking down at the information, "As long as others are willing to risk their lives, my life is also here. There's nothing to say."
"Hey! Then go ahead and do it! " Lu Junyi laughed angrily, "Why are you talking so much to me here? You're afraid …"
"Because I'm threatening you." Ning Yi didn't look up and interrupted him in a flat tone, "So you'd better listen to what I'm saying … This is your background. Minister Lu, you're rich, powerful, and skilled in martial arts in the Daimyo Mansion, but you have no way to serve the country. After Song Jiang heard your name, he wanted to force you to go up the mountain. 'There's a small boat in the field of reed flowers, where the handsome Russian swims. If a righteous man can understand this truth, he will bow and escape without worry. 'This poem was written by Wu Yong … His literary talent is mediocre. "
"There's shit in your head. You were deceived by Wu Yong and went to Tai 'an to avoid disaster. When you passed through Liangshan, you were ambushed. They invited you up the mountain, but you refused. When you got home, you were cuckolded, and your wife slept with a guy named Li Gu … Oh, interesting, they've been together for a long time. Li Gu must be prettier than you … "
Ning Yi's voice was filled with ridicule as he looked over at Lu Junyi. Lu Junyi's eyes were wide, and his fists were clenched into fists.
"Don't be so agitated. What's there to be unhappy about? Say it and let everyone be happy. Fine, I'll see for myself. Ah, they said you were in cahoots with the bandits, so they put you in prison and tortured you to make you confess. Li Gu must have discussed it with the Hall of Governmental Affairs. Afterwards, he could take your property for himself. If there were no benefits, there was no need for the officials to torture you. You were sentenced to be banished to Samen Island. On the way there, the officials wanted to harm you. Although Yan Qing saved you, you were sentenced to death again. Shi Xiu failed to rob the execution ground and was locked up as well … Oh, you're starting to appreciate Liangshan's kindness now, aren't you? After all, there's no other way. "
He nodded and flipped through a few pages. "Liangshan attacked the Daming Residence and saved you. Song Jiang gave up his position to you, and everyone refused to accept it … This guy seems to do this kind of thing often, so it's not strange. So, you became the second-in-command. Other than Yan Qing, everyone on the mountain was Song Jiang's people. Now, why don't we talk about how it feels to be the second-in-command? Oh, by the way, I've always wanted to ask a more personal question. What's the relationship between Yan Qing and you? Is it that … that's why your wife and Li Gu … "
Ning Yi shook his head and spread his hands. Lu Junyi, who was tied up by the chains, suddenly struggled. "F * ck your mother, I …"
As soon as his body moved, Qi Xinyong, who was beside him, had already moved. Qi Xinyong pressed down on his shoulder. The next moment, Qi Xinyi punched him hard in the face and sent him back to his original position. Lu Junyi tilted his head. Blood was obviously flowing out of his mouth. He turned his head and stared at Ning Yi.
"You can spit at me," he said calmly. "But it's a little far." The other party was obviously planning to spit saliva and blood over. At this time, he only became even angrier.
"If I can get out …"
"It's impossible. After all, we're the dogs of the imperial court. We're about to enter the capital. If you can still snatch him away, I'll immediately renounce the dark and seek the light. I'll kneel on the ground and call you brother."
"… I'll definitely kill your whole family …"
"Besides, you're going to be a cripple tomorrow. Why don't I break the bones in your hands? However, it's not good to hang on the mast like this, and you'll die too quickly. It's better to hang with both hands. I know what you're going to say next. What will happen if you become a ghost … "
"Even if I become a ghost …"
"See, you're such a person. You're stupid and too straightforward. You think you're very powerful, but in fact, you can't even compare to Yan Qing. After so many things, haven't you seen yourself clearly? You don't have any subversive thoughts at all … You have no choice but to go to Liangshan and call Song Jiang brother. Who did this to you? What happened to your stubbornness when you refused to go up the mountain? Let me tell you, if it was me … Alright, it's me now. I can't sleep without more than 20,000 lives in Liangshan. I can't see you people die with your eyes open. "
"…"
"I'll take it that you have resentment in your heart." Ning Yi's face had lost some of the playfulness from before. At this time, he leaned back in his chair, clasped his hands, and looked at him coldly. "Otherwise, I don't need to say a word to you."
The room was quiet for a moment.
"But the resentment in your heart is your own. It has nothing to do with me. But you're ranked second in Liangshan, and your subordinate, Yan Qing, is also a good spy. Next are the conditions. "
Ning Yi took out a piece of rice paper that had been written. "Cooperate with me and convince Yan Qing. I'll help you clear the lawsuit against the Daming Residence and return you a clean identity. At the same time, I'll guarantee you an official position. Don't even think about all your original property in the Daming Residence. This is a letter of intent that you're willing to donate all your property to the country after clearing your name. When the time comes, we'll use your name to take it back. Minister Liang Zhongshu and his people may not be good people. We're under the command of the Right Prime Minister, Qin Siyuan. We're called the Office of Secret Investigation. You may not have heard of us, but the war between Jin and Liao was instigated by us. Fang La is in Hangzhou, and the city gate was opened by us. We hope to take back the sixteen states of Yan and Yun. If you think the army is rotten, you can also work here. "
Lu Junyi was stunned for a while, and then he laughed. "Haha … haha, using my name as a flag? What if I refuse to give it to you, you …"
"You've said it. Then I'll peel off your skin." Ning Yi rubbed the bridge of his nose, and his cold eyes no longer looked at him. "Take him away."
After Lu Junyi was taken away, Ning Yi stood up and looked out of the window for a while. After a while, Wenren Bu 'er came from the next room. "Do you really want to clear his name? Persuade him to surrender? "
"We're going to kill tens of thousands of people. Are we really going to hold a knife and watch them unite and kill all the way?"
"Heh, to be honest, this Minister Lu is very powerful, and I do want him to surrender. But … I thought you, Liheng, were really determined to kill everyone in Liangshan. "
"Let them suspect and plot against each other. Let them watch their most trusted brothers stab each other in the back. In the end, no one will believe each other. I'll be happier. It'll be easier for us to do things. After all, I don't have much time to spend on the bandits in Liangshan … "
Wenren Bu 'er thought for a while and looked at him. "So, you're lying to him?"
Ning Yi laughed. "Whether he can be a man or not depends on him. After all, he and I … don't have a big grudge. Then it's up to you. "
"Got it." Wenren Bu 'er nodded and was about to go out. Then she asked, "What if he really doesn't want to surrender? Well … Heh, I asked too much. Of course, I'll break his legs … "
But Ning Yi shook his head. "No, if he really doesn't surrender, I'll break half of their legs and burn them to death. After some time, I'll release him back to Liangshan. Then, I might be able to make a fuss about it … Brother Wenren, you can call the next one in."
After a while, Yan Shun was escorted into the room. He saw the young man opposite him was writing. The young man turned to open the window and then returned to his seat. Without looking at him, he said in a flat tone, "You probably already know my name. Let me tell you the situation first …"
In the corridor outside the room, Qi Xinhan was talking to Qi Xinyong in a low voice. "Why do I feel that he's like a devil now … No wonder Fang La and Liu Watermelon were fooled by him … Tsk, these guys in Liangshan, they can't afford to offend anyone …"
Qi Xinyong curled his lips.
"They didn't go to the right grave on the Qingming Festival …"
*****
Time gradually turned into the afternoon. The cicadas were still chirping, and the sun was gradually lowering. In the temporary cell, Lu Junyi was chained to an iron stool, unable to move.
The surroundings were not quiet, but when all kinds of sounds came, they were so far away as if they were happening in another world. Only a little light seeped in through the window. Gradually, footsteps were heard.
The one who opened the door was a tall young man, who had appeared beside Ning Liheng during the war.
"Let me introduce myself. I'm Wenren Bu 'er, from the Office of Secret Investigations … Well, I'm temporarily transferring to the capital. But I recruited Liheng into the Office of Secret Investigations. You've already talked about him." Wenren Bu 'er took a chair and sat down in front of him. Then, she took out the piece of rice paper that Ning Liheng had taken out. "He's been busy lately, and he's in a bad mood. This time, he didn't manage to kill more than two hundred of you, so he lost his temper and said that the three thousand soldiers of Xuzhou are really useless. You don't have to be angry, but don't take his words lightly. "
"Just like what he said, at the end of last month, you went to his house to kill people. Almost a hundred people died, including the elderly, women, and children. None of them knew martial arts, and none of them provoked you. I admire him for not killing you immediately … Xi Junyu was raised by the Su family. He was originally a waiter, but later became a shopkeeper. The Su family paid for his education and taught him how to run a business. He fell in love with the young lady of the Su family. Later, it was only because the young lady of the Su family didn't marry him. He began to collude with outsiders, and even wanted to kill the Su family to seize the young lady and the wealth of the Su family. The people he colluded with later went to Liangshan. You know them. Don't you think … he's a bit similar to that Li Gu from your family? "
