Chapter 498: A child starts a prairie fire
boom!
Zheng Xing felt his body being thrown heavily on the cold and hard floor tiles. Taking advantage of the moment when he groaned in pain, he opened a slit in his eyes and quickly scanned the surroundings.

Almost subconsciously, he roughly guessed where he was tied. Because in the entire Fenghua Prefecture, except for the slums in the northern suburbs, such old and backward antique buildings can no longer be seen in other areas.

But what can I do if I know it? With the strength shown by the other party, he is not afraid of running away at all, and he is not even interested in taking away the firearms he carries.

Zheng Xing even had a vague hunch that the person who caught him here was expecting him to resist so that he could be killed naturally.

Putting aside the thoughts that would kill him, Zheng Xing glanced at Chen Shuo, the unconscious promotion official of Fenghua Prefecture beside him, and saw a simple incense table placed in the middle of the room, with the sparse incense smoke rising up behind him. There is a black spiritual tablet.

Written on it was a name that Zheng Xing was not familiar with, Lin Liaoyuan.

Flames rose in the brazier at the foot of the incense table. A man with an angular profile squatted next to the brazier and threw bundles of red papers into the brazier.

This kind of memorial method, which follows the tradition of the Ming Dynasty, is no longer common today, and Zheng Xing has only seen it in some curious Huangliang dreams.

But that's not the point. What really shocked Zheng Xing at this moment was what the man threw into the brazier.

That's not memorial paper money, but stacks of brand-new Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes!
"Are you the Jinyiwei Baihu of Fenghua Mansion? Zheng Xing?"

"Sir, I don't know you."

"Just before that night, he was still telling me that after the Jin Yiwei in the Japanese area was abolished, he no longer wanted to be a Jin Yiwei. Because of these words, he was slapped twice by Fan Wujiu. He was beaten until his ears and nose were bleeding, and he was scolded until his body was completely bruised."

Li Jun looked sideways and whispered a name: "His name is Yaksha."

"Master Li, those things have nothing to do with villains."

Zheng Xing's pupils instantly shrank to the size of needle tips. Although he had already had a vague guess about the identity of the person in front of him, when it was actually confirmed, he couldn't help but fall into a state of shock and confusion.

The treasure banknotes piled into a hill were burned, and the gradually extinguished fire revealed a basin full of ashes.

"But Yasha told me that he is not greedy for life and afraid of death. He just wants to go back and take care of his sister."

Li Jun inserted the incense in his hand into the stove, turned around and looked at Zheng Xing who was kneeling on the ground, and said word by word: "But now I have sent Yaksha home, but I can't find his sister. How can I follow him?" He confessed?"

Li Jun stood up slowly and turned to face the tablet on the incense table.

"Perhaps his life was not meant to be taken. It was such a coincidence that he met the ghost king Da who came to send his disabled subordinates back home. The old ghost saved him and helped him eradicate the gang that was chasing him. In order to repay his kindness, Yaksha chose He joined Jinyiwei in the Japanese area, and his sister stayed in Fenghua because the old ghost told him that there would be someone in the Jinyiwei family in the Japanese area who would take care of her and would not let her be bullied. "

"I know what Yasha is telling the truth, because he is almost the stingiest one in the entire Japanese area. Even after completing a task, the other brothers will spend money to find some fun to vent their anger. Pressure, but the most he can do is buy himself a low-quality Huangliang Dreamland and make do with it.”

"In order to survive, Yasha chose to join the gang in Fenghua Prefecture, giving money to people in gambling stalls to watch the casinos, and doing some trivial chores. Later, in order to make money for his mother to replace her organs, he learned how to hold knives and guns, and worked for his gang. Fight for territory. Because of the rules in the gang, you can get a lot of dividends if you win a territory."

"I am no longer a royal guard, you don't need to call me sir."

"But when he fled home with his seriously injured body, he found that his mother had died tragically in a pool of blood. Those people even cut her body open and took away the healthy kidney that had just been replaced. . Although my sister is not dead, she has been kidnapped. With the gangster's style of behavior, it doesn't take much to know that she will be sold to a prostitute for money. "

"With the fierceness in his bones, he made a name for himself in the gang. It's also good luck for Yasha. He was lucky enough to break through the ranks and become a soldier."

"Master Li, these things really have nothing to do with me."

"At that time, Yaksha had just reached his prime. There were many children from poor families who were stubborn, and he was the best among them."

When the sound reached his ears, Zheng Xing's whole body felt like an electric shock. He no longer dared to lie on the ground and pretend to be dead, so he got up using his hands and feet.

It seemed that these words were not meant for Zheng Xing, but for Yaksha.

Zheng Xing, who had been stunned for a moment, suddenly came to his senses. His face turned pale, and he grabbed the ground with his head, making a loud bang.

Pfft!

"The villain is none other than Zheng Xing. I haven't asked you for my name yet."

However, he did not dare to stand up. Instead, he knew the current situation and knelt down where he was.

He gently pulled out the burnt incense stems from the ashes, relighted three sticks of incense, put his hands to his forehead, and bowed in worship.

"I've seen Yaksha's file. This kid also had a hard-luck background. His father died on the assembly line in the workshop when he was a child. He only has a mother whose internal organs failed due to the implantation of inferior mechanical bodies, and another mother. She is just a ten-year-old ignorant sister, and the three of them depend on each other. "

Li Jun threw a stack of treasure banknotes into the basin and said calmly: "Do you recognize the name on the tablet?"

Zheng Xing was still kowtowing. The skin on his forehead was cracked and scarlet blood flowed all over his face. He looked extremely miserable.

Fan Wujiu stood in the corner of the room with his head lowered, his hands hanging by his legs clenched into fists, and the mechanical bones glowing with cold light were exposed under the cracked bionic flesh.

"In the battle of Edo Castle, in order to save the old ghost, Yasha's remaining skin was scraped clean by bullets, and his heart was torn into pieces. He couldn't even upload his consciousness into Huang Liang's dream, so he died on the battlefield. superior."

Zheng Xing was sweating profusely, as if the flames in the basin were burning the air in the room so hot that even breathing became very difficult.

"It's a pity that in this shitty world, the poor seem to be unable to see their fortunes turn around. Whenever you think your life is getting better and better, he will throw a lot of pain at you, letting you know what it means that everything is fate and you can't control it at all. "

Fierce flames shone in people's eyes, but there was no warmth in Li Jun's tone.

"Yaksha burned his mother's body to ashes with his own hands. He exchanged all the money he had saved to replace his mother's organs with weapons and ammunition. He rushed into the gang that robbed his sister and snatched her out with all his strength. "

"Lin Liaoyuan, it's normal that you don't know this name. But you should have heard of his other name."

"He said that his sister has been stupid since she was a child, so she will definitely not be smart when she grows up, so he wants to leave the money he saved to his sister. Even if he spends money on it, he must give her a follower. Come out. This way, my sister can have a chance to get out of Fenghua Mansion and see the world, so that she won’t be easily abducted in the future.”

Li Jun ignored his wails and raised his head to look at the tablet on the incense table.

"Yaksha lives two things in his life, one is to repay his kindness, and the other is his family. He has done both of them. A man like him is really not a bad person."

"Although Yasha rescued his sister, how could he, an ordinary Bingjiu, compete with a gang? He was not afraid of death, but he also did not want to see his little sister fall into the clutches of that group of people. middle."

Stacks of treasure notes burned in the fire, and layers of cold sweat flowed across Zheng Xing's body.

"Master Li, I really don't know, please spare me."

"During a fierce battle over territory, the gang that Yasha belonged to was jointly attacked because it was developing too fast and attracted everyone's jealousy. All the leaders were almost killed on the spot, and only Yasha was lucky enough to save his life."

A long knife pierced Zheng Xing's right chest from behind, pinning his body directly to the ground.

"It doesn't matter if you don't tell me. I have arrived in Fenghua and I will be able to find out this matter sooner or later."

Li Jun looked indifferent and looked down at Zheng Xing's twitching body: "You will definitely not survive today, so you don't need to talk nonsense about begging for mercy. But if I were you, I would tell the person who pulled me into the water and let him do it for me. Burial."

Fan Wujiu twisted the handle of the knife, and the turning blade created a bloody hole.

"The culprit is the Fenghua Lu family!"

As a Jinyiwei who has been in peace for a long time, Zheng Xing, who is often called upon by Confucian Xu, has long been accustomed to living with his tail between his legs. When has he ever experienced such a battle?
With almost no hesitation, he told everything he knew.

"It's Lu Yuzhang. He used the power of the Lu family in Fenghua to steal all the pensions and monthly salary distributed to thousands of households in the Japanese area. He is the one who is depriving everyone of his family. It really has nothing to do with the villain."

"Lu Yuzhang? What is his relationship with Lu Chengjiang?"

"Brothers from the same clan and clan worked together and colluded with each other. Lu Chengjiang determined the amount and time of payment in the Japanese area, and then he sent people door-to-door to collect the money."

"How long have they been doing this?" "It started when Lu Chengjiang became Deputy Qianhu."

"Why did Qianhusuo know nothing about it for such a long time?"

"Every time they ask the other party to withdraw cash and hand it over to them, they never transfer money from the bank, and"

However, his tone of voice was half a minute slower, and the long knife that had been inserted into Zheng Xing's body was pulled out with a pop, and penetrated through his abdomen again.

"Lu Yuzhang gave everyone the seal of Confucianism, so no one can tell the truth. Even people from the Japanese area can't see the slightest problem!"

Perhaps because he was aroused by the severe pain, Zheng Xing lay in a pool of blood, raised his head with all his strength, and said with a ferocious expression: "I admit that I also took his black money, but what can I do? This is Fenghua, This is Liaodong, the territory of the Confucian clan. What can I, a small Jinyiwei family, do to stop them? I know I won’t survive today, but can you, Li Jun, avenge them? Uproot the Lu family! You don’t have the ability, you are just bullies!”

"The whole of Fenghua is the spy of his Lu family. Lu Yuzhang has already set up a dragnet, waiting for you to show up. Now that you have captured me and Chen Shuo, you will be the next to die."

Zheng!
The long knife that penetrated the ground moved forward, directly cutting Zheng Xing's upper body in half.

The weapon heart that rolled out from the wound was crushed into pulp by Fan Wujiu's foot. He rolled on his toes and spat hard.

"Sister Yuan, bring this official into your Buddhist kingdom and see if there is anything missing from what Zheng Xing told you."

Li Jun didn't even look at the body on the ground, but turned to Yuan Mingfei and said.

Yuan Mingfei nodded slightly, and Chen Shuo's body lying on the ground suddenly began to twitch, and blood flowed out from his seven orifices.

As a crisp cracking sound came from Chen Shuo's body, his closed eyes suddenly opened, and a little gold slowly lit up deep in his pupils.

Until the golden touch completely occupied Chen Shuo's eyes, bursts of scorching black smoke erupted from the brain aperture behind the skull, followed by a burst of flames that instantly enveloped his body.

Chen Shuo let out heart-rending screams, and a hellish scene like a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood flashed through his golden pupils.

"It's indeed the Lu family."

"The Lu family already knows that they are wrong. I wonder if you can be noble and let them go?"

As soon as Yuan Mingfei finished speaking, a gentle voice followed outside the door.

Lu Quan, dressed in a luxurious brocade robe, crossed the threshold and walked into this old and dilapidated courtyard.

His eyes passed over the broken corpses and blackened skeletons on the ground, and landed on Li Jun.

"Lu Quan, the foreign affairs manager of the Lu family, a first-class family in Liaodong, has met Li Baihu."

Li Jun raised his eyebrows: "It seems that besides the Lu family, your Lu family is also involved in this matter?"

"The Lu family has nothing to do with this matter. On the contrary, if the Lu family could know what the Lu family was doing earlier, they would never sit idly by and do nothing. They would definitely take action to prevent the Lu family from making such a big mistake."

Lu Quan put on a look of indignation, but then changed the topic and said in a deep voice: "Now that the matter has come to this, the Lu family also knows that their sins are unforgivable, so they are willing to use the lives of their direct descendants to compensate for all the victims. One life is worth one life. Not only that, they are willing to give up all their wealth, just hoping to calm your anger, Li Baihu."

"Lu Yuzhang, is this person within the range where one life is worth one life?"

Lu Quan shook his head: "Except for him, anyone from the Lu family can be here."

it is as expected.

Li Jun smiled contemptuously: "He is very clever at using other people's lives to make up for his own mistakes. Your name is Lu Quan, right? Do you think I will agree to this condition?"

Seeing how arrogant Li Jun was, Lu Quan frowned and said patiently: "Li Baihu, I don't know whether you will agree or not, but there is a saying that it is better to resolve enemies than to end them. If you think the Lu family will If the sincerity is not enough, then we might as well talk openly and honestly. After all, this is Liaodong, and the Lu family will definitely not let those innocent people die unjustly."

A faint smile appeared on Lu Quan's face: "And I believe that Li Baihu, you are not willing to make a big move now, right? After all, the matter in the Japanese area has just stopped raining, and it has not yet dispersed. If there is any trouble at this time, I am afraid it will be harmful to Li Baihu." It’s also a troublesome thing for you.”

There was a hidden threat in Lu Quan's words, which made it clear that Li Jun was in Liaodong at the moment, and the Lu clan could ignore his existence.

But if Li Jun wants revenge, he must act according to the rules of the Lu clan.

Moreover, from Lu Quan's own perspective, although the Lu family was at fault in this matter, the sincerity of the apology was sufficient.

In the final analysis, those who died were just a group of worthless disabled old soldiers in uniforms and ordinary people who had not even entered the ranks. Lu Yuzhang was able to let the children of the clan come to take his life, which was considered to have given Li Jun enough face.

Lu Quan even believed that the reason why Lu Yuzhang did this was not simply because he was afraid of Li Jun's revenge. They are just a group of precarious gangsters. They don't know when they will be wiped out by a certain force.

Lu Yuzhang probably took this opportunity to draw a clear line between him and the Jinyiwei in the Japanese area, so as not to be caught by others and become a knife in the hands of others, thus getting involved in greater trouble.

It must be said that Lu Yuzhang is indeed a rare talent who can see the progress of the situation so clearly and be so decisive.

As for the entire family fortune, it was just a nice excuse.

In order to marry their daughter into the Lu clan and be promoted to the second-class clan, the Lu family has already given most of their assets as dowry to the Lu clan. How much money can they spend now?

"So you're here to help the Lu family?"

A cold voice interrupted Lu Quan's thoughts. He smiled noncommittally and said: "Kill people to pay for their lives, and debts to pay for money. The Lu family has done both. Li Baihu, you can't insist on killing everyone." Bar?"

"And this is not a barbaric place like Japan. Everything must be done according to rules."

A dark figure appeared in front of Lu Quan's eyes, covering his body like a black cloud. The strong wind as sharp as a knife chopped into pieces all the unfinished words in his mouth, and at the same time, the upper half of Lu Quan's body was also cut. head.

Lu Quan's mouth was still opening and closing unconsciously, but the upper part was empty, and blood-stained brain matter continued to gush out from the huge gap.

Li Jun held the corpse's collar and pressed the blood-stained knife on the other person's shoulder and slowly wiped it clean.

"It seems that life in the empire is really easy. How dare you come to me and tell me the rules with a piece of trash that is nothing but a piece of shit?"

Pfft!
It wasn't until Lu Quan's body fell to the ground that a belated figure appeared on the wall of the courtyard.

These people are all private soldiers of the Lu clan who followed Lu Quan.

"grown ups!"

As soon as one of the guards screamed, half of his body was shot to pieces by his companion.

He turned his head in shock, his doubtful eyes falling on the ferocious faces of his teammates, and the word 'Zou' slowly appearing in his angry eyes.

Before he could figure out what was happening, his vision was completely swallowed up by a dazzling gun flame.

boom! boom! boom!
Gunshots thundered, corpses fell like rain, and blood covered the wall.

"This is your territory? Damn it, I want to see if your Liaodong clan can stop us bandits from the Japanese area!
Li Jun stepped forward amidst the gunfire, straight into the night.

The men and women in black clothes moved closely behind them, like ghosts and gods seeking their lives coming out of the netherworld.

At this moment, a sudden wind picked up the embers in the brazier and spread them out, covering the two corpses on the ground.

The candles are extinguished and the incense is gone, and the memorial tablet is swaying back and forth, like a person laughing up and down.
