Gentlemen, listen to the sword chant

Chapter 15

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and where there are rivers and lakes, there are conflicts of ideas and party disputes.

In fact, from now on, Chen Ci has determined that yesterday's assassination and today's homicide are very likely not to have much to do with the Dongying people in Guangling, and most likely they were framed.But even so, so what?
Chen Ci sneered, looked at Uesugi, and said word by word:

"Where's the evidence?"

"Killing for life is justified."

"The murderer is from Dongying. Guangling is just an Dongying street. I don't care if the murderer has anything to do with you."

"In any case, you are responsible for this matter."

Uesugi Qimo didn't say a word, he was well-trained, and he didn't get angry when faced with such an aggressive tone of the statement, but the smile he kept at all times gradually faded away.

Yu Xiong was a little nervous, his hands holding the saber were sweating, he could rely on his background to be unscrupulous, and he could rely on soldiers to be lawless, but he knew that Dongying people were not weak, especially this Uesugi, whose martial arts were unfathomable.Pushing him into a hurry, he launched a ruthless attack, which was enough to forcefully suppress and kill them in a short time.

At this time, the search work came to an end.

An admiral bannerman walked up to Yu Xiong, knelt down and saluted: "Report to the general, no trace of the assassin has been found yet."

Then, the rest of the people also came back to report, but they found nothing.

All this is within the expectation of the statement.

Yu Xiong was also mentally prepared, this time he led troops here, the murder case was nothing more than a cover, he just couldn't swallow this breath and wanted to vent his anger.

In the morning, he led troops to encircle the Chiba Kendo Gym, Uesugi was not there, and the third senior Kenshin Fujino of the Chiba Kendo Gym confronted him. Although his martial strength was good, he did not feel oppressive.Now facing Shan Qi directly, Yu Xiong is lying in his heart saying that he is not afraid.

Uesugi smiled slightly and took the lead to break the calm: "General, as I said, Dongying Street will not hide murderers. Since we are living on the territory of Great Liang, we will definitely abide by the laws of Great Liang, and we will definitely not pretend to be criminals. If there is a murderer who has escaped to Dongying Street, there is no need for the general to take care of him, someone will take care of it himself, tie him up, and turn him over to the government."

He gave Yu Xiong a step down.

Ever since Shang Shanqi appeared, Yu Xiong had retreated, and was thinking about how to end it, when he heard Shang Shanqi say this, he was about to speak up and plan to withdraw his troops.

But he didn't want to, Chen Ci spoke first: "Anyone can say beautiful words, who knows if you got the news in advance and hid the murderer?"

"My son-in-law, it's better not to spout blood." Uesugi still had a smile on his face.

Chen Ci lazily said: "Then tell me how to solve this matter. We will mobilize the masses and we will not hesitate to dispatch three thousand soldiers. The road is bumpy, so we can't return empty-handed, right?"

Yu Xiong gritted his teeth, thinking that the son-in-law is a newborn calf and is not afraid of tigers. If he offended Shang Shanqi, there would be nothing good to eat.Before, he drank half a catty of cat urine, and he was suffocated in his heart. Under the paralysis of alcohol, he made an impulsive decision, but he regretted it when he saw Uesugi, and now he has the opportunity to retreat. Thoughts, I didn't expect the son-in-law to be soft and hard, and he insisted on not giving Uesugi face.

There was no other way, Yu Xiong had no choice but to bite the bullet and not speak.

Uesugi was silent for a while, then bowed and said: "My son-in-law, I feel very sorry for the deceased. Since the murderer is my compatriot in Dongying, I, as the person in charge of Dongying Street in Guangling, should bear it all. How about this, I am willing to give a thousand dollars. Punching copper coins, expressing condolences and compensation to the deceased."

Thousands of copper coins, equivalent to 1000 taels of official silver.

You know, according to the economic level of Guangling, generally, the annual food, clothing, housing and transportation expenses of each family are only in the early 50s.

This is indeed a huge sum of money, enough to compensate a dead maid who worked in a restaurant.

But the statement was dissatisfied because he didn't get any money.It's still the same sentence, the world is hey, it's all for profit; the world is clamoring, it's all for profit, Chen Ci dared to offend the Dongying people to death, and went to Shanqi, how could it be for a mere stranger? slave girl?

Therefore, Chen Ci smiled, and he looked at Fan Chu with a smile, and asked, "Old Fan, how much money do we have?"

Without hesitation, Fan Chu said, "My son-in-law, ten thousand taels of gold."

It is equivalent to 10 taels of official silver.

"Oh, that's enough." Chen Ci looked at Shang Shanqi again, with a frivolous tone, "Hey, you said that 1000 taels would buy my life in Daliang, right? There are still some, not many, how about buying a hundred lives of your Japanese warriors?"

Before Uesugi could speak, the man with the mouse beard behind him suddenly changed his face, and drew out his long knife with a "swish", "Presumptuous, my Dongying warrior's life is comparable to that lowly maidservant's life?"

"Tanaka, step back!" Uesugi snapped.

Although the rat-bearded man was annoyed, he didn't dare to refute, and immediately stepped aside, but his murderous eyes were fixed on Chen Ci all the time.

Chen Ci spread his hands helplessly, and looked at Yu Xiong, "Brother Yu, look, I also want to talk to these Japanese slaves, but they never look us in the eye."

Yu Xiong laughed out loud. He only saw the intention of the statement now, and immediately nodded and said, "Yes, we were assassinated by assassins outside Guangling Beiguan yesterday, and our army killed more than 30 brothers. If human lives can be bought and sold, that is Isn't it time to settle the bill?"

Uesugi was silent.

"Tell me, how to solve this matter, just talk about it if you have something to do, don't hold it in your heart, you are busy, so are we, of course, you can choose to refuse, anyway, we are not in a hurry." Chen Ci's eyes were playful.

Yu Xiong also fanned the flames at the side, and said with a smile: "Yes, we are not in a hurry. This is Guangling, and I have plenty of time. If you don't come up with an explanation today, I will bring troops here every day to block you here. Let's see who goes first." I can't hold my breath."

The three thousand soldiers straightened their backs arrogantly upon hearing this.

And everyone in Dongying Street was filled with righteous indignation.

Those Dongying people understood that Chen Ci's intention was to provoke troubles, and he also saw his intention, which was nothing more than wanting the lion to open his mouth and make a fortune.

Uesugi was silent for a long time, and finally spoke, "My son-in-law, there is an old saying in Daliang called 'you have to forgive others and forgive others', and there is also a saying called 'It is better to resolve enemies than to end them', you really have to be careful Embarrassing someone?"

The statement shook his head solemnly, and said, "You are wrong, I didn't make it difficult for you, I just wanted to seek justice for the victim... Oh, I am also a victim."

"My son-in-law, why are you talking nonsense with him, like we are vicious gangsters who embarrass the little girl, you stupid little Japanese slaves, why are you pretending to be pitiful?"

Ever since Yu Xiong knew the purpose of the statement, he was at ease, and immediately looked at Shang Shanqi again, and said carelessly: "Shang Shan, it seems that you are quite familiar with our culture, then you should have heard a saying, 'People are kind to others. Bullying, Ma Shan is being ridden by someone', if I show weakness today, you will definitely make progress in the future."
