The strongest emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

Chapter 357 Xue Rengui was murdered and sent to prison
Li Tai didn't expect that Dou Xianniang wanted to accept Xue Rengui as a foster son.But this is not necessarily a bad thing for Xue Rengui.So Li Tai readily agreed.

Li Tai took Qin Huaiyu and others away from the Yue State Mansion.Qin Huaiyu asked as he walked: "Master, why did you ask Brother Rengui to return to Longmen County. My lord recommends him to the emperor directly, and it's over."

"Brother, why are you asking such stupid questions like Cheng Tieniu? If Brother Rengui walks out of Wei Wang's imperial army, you think he will be reused by the emperor." Xu Liang said to Qin Huaiyu with a smile .

"I ignored this question, otherwise my lord wouldn't have to, and came back in a wooden prison cart after traveling thousands of miles." Qin Huaiyu said with a helpless smile.

……

Dawangzhuang, Longmen County, Jiangzhou, Shanxi.

Xue Rengui and his wife Liu Yinhuan lived in a cold kiln with broken tiles.Of course, life is not as difficult as it was in history.At least it can be regarded as a well-off family.

Why did Xue Rengui come back to live in this broken kiln? Li Tai specifically explained why.The purpose is to make Xue Rengui completely draw a line with King Wei Jinjun.

Li Tai recruited Xue Rengui to the imperial army of Wei Wang back then, but never gave Xue Rengui any important tasks.Although he is in command of the supply troops of the imperial army of Wei Wang.But it has always been a firefighter.

When Xue Rengui was taken away by Li Tai, he didn't know his eight sworn brothers.Not to mention married Liu Yinhuan.

But everything was under Li Tai's intentional arrangement, and nothing changed.Liu Yinhuan married Xue Rengui.

Even Zhou Qing, Jiang Xingben, Jiang Xingba, Xue Xiantu, Wang Xinxi, Wang Xinhe, Li Qinghong, Li Qingxian.Also sworn brothers with Xue Rengui.

Now ten of them left Chang'an City together and returned to Longmen County, Jiangzhou, Shanxi.The purpose is to go to Zhang Shigui's pioneer camp.

"Brother, why didn't the lord let us participate in the North Sweeping? And let us come back here? What is the lord's plan?" Zhou Qing asked Xue Rengui.

"Now the lord is too popular, and some people are no longer at ease. If we get out of the King Wei's imperial army and participate in the upcoming cross-sea expedition, I'm afraid our development will be greatly restricted." Xue Rengui said to Zhou Qing and the others.

"Brother is right. My lord is a prince after all. Royal battles have always been very cruel. Don't say that His Royal Highness is worried that the lord will threaten his position. I'm afraid even the emperor doesn't want to see the lord's strength too strong. " Xue Xiantu said.

"Sometimes I really suspect that the lord is not a mortal. He can be foresight about everything. But it gives people the impression that he is arrogant and domineering. It seems that all this is to protect himself." Zhou Qing shook his head. Said.

"Brother, I wonder if the lord has explained what we should do." Xue Xiantu asked Xue Rengui.

"When I came back, the master told me that Zhang Shigui, the Duke of Guo, would go to Longmen County to recruit troops in a few years. Let me and you go to join the army separately. I don't have any other explanations." Xue Rengui said.

In fact, even Xue Rengui himself couldn't figure out why Li Tai did this.It's just the blind trust in Li Tai that made Xue Rengui have no doubts.

"Zhang Shigui has been recruiting soldiers in Longmen County for some time now, and it's time for us to apply. You go back and prepare, and we will apply tomorrow." Xue Rengui said to everyone.

After everyone nodded, they dispersed, only Xue Rengui and Liu Yinhuan were left in the Powa cold kiln.Liu Yinhuan said to Xue Rengui: "Husband, rest early, we have to hurry tomorrow."

Early the next morning, Xue Rengui packed his bags and rushed to Longmen County.After arriving in Longmen County, he saw the notice of recruiting soldiers, and Xue Rengui went to join the army according to the place guided by the notice.

When he came to the recruitment office, Xue Rengui smiled and said to the recruited sergeants: "Master, please register for me, I am here to join the army."

The recruited soldiers didn't even look at Xue Rengui, and said to Xue Rengui: "Who is your surname, where you live, and what skills you have."

"My surname is Xue and my name is Rengui. I live in Dawangzhuang. I am proficient in all eighteen weapons." Xue Rengui said proudly.

Hearing that the person was called Xue Rengui, the recruited soldiers hurriedly raised their heads.Seeing that Xue Rengui was dressed in white, standing majestically in front of him.

So he said to Xue Rengui: "Please wait a moment, I will go in and talk to the Duke."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and entered the barracks, came to Zhang Shigui's residence, and said to Zhang Shigui: "My lord, there is indeed a Xue Rengui in white who has come to join the army."

Hearing what the soldiers at the recruitment office said, Zhang Shigui couldn't help being taken aback.He said to himself, "I didn't expect there to be Xue Rengui in white clothes."

"Father, since Xue Rengui is here, how should we deal with it?" Zhang Zhilong said to Zhang Shigui.

"No matter what, we can't let him stay in the army, otherwise your brother-in-law Ying Mengxian will be gone." Zhang Shigui said to Zhang Zhilong.

"Father, let the son handle this matter." After Zhang Zhilong finished speaking, he turned and went to the recruitment office.

After arriving at the recruitment office, he saw Xue Rengui in white.So he opened his mouth and said to Xue Rengui: "You are the Xue Rengui who claims to be proficient in eighteen kinds of weapons."

"General, the villain is Xue Rengui." Xue Rengui saluted Zhang Zhilong.

"The ignorant junior who speaks outrageously dares to speak nonsense in the barracks. He claims that he is proficient in all eighteen kinds of weapons. Just ask the princes of the current dynasty, who dares to boast so much."

"Someone beat this ignorant and ignorant junior to me." Zhang Zhilong said angrily, tossing his robe sleeves.

In an instant, several soldiers rushed over and beat Xue Rengui violently.Xue Rengui didn't dare to fight back and could only back away.

These soldiers directly beat Xue Rengui for more than a mile before turning back to the barracks.

Looking at the soldiers who left, Xue Rengui was dewy.No idea why this happens.

The reason why Xue Rengui in history insisted on joining the army was that there was no way out for him to stay at home.That's why I joined the army a second time.

And now Xue Rengui, although he lives in Powa Hanyao, is not as impoverished as in history.If it were not for Li Tai's order, Xue Rengui probably would have given up now.

But since Li Tai let him, he must vote under Zhang Shigui's account.Xue Rengui had to join the army for the second time.

Not long after, Xue Rengui came to the recruiting office again, and said to the sergeant at the recruiting office with a smile on his face: "Master, please help me to ask why I am not allowed to join the army. I am not talking nonsense, it is really [-] Proficient in all kinds of weapons."

When the soldiers at the recruitment office saw Xue Rengui coming again, they had no choice but to go back to report again.When Zhang Shigui heard that Xue Rengui had returned, he was extremely angry.

"Father, why bother so much, let me take a few people to beat his hands and feet. Let's see how he can be the emperor's virtuous minister Ying Meng." Zhang Zhihu said to Zhang Shigui.

"Father, the second brother's words reminded me. How about us..." Zhang Zhilong whispered in Zhang Shigui's ear.

After listening, Zhang Shigui laughed loudly, and then said to Zhang Zhihu: "Go out and tell that Xue Rengui that today's recruitment is over. Ask him to come early tomorrow morning."

In the end, Xue Rengui naturally got the reply that the recruitment has ended.So Xue Rengui had no choice but to find a place to stay.

Maybe Xue Rengui was negligent for a while, or Xue Rengui didn't think so much at all.Even being followed and not found.

Although Xue Rengui didn't find out, it doesn't mean that other people didn't find out.Seeing Xue Rengui living in an inn, those people followed him in.

The person who found the person following him smiled and said to the people around him, "Go and inform the general that someone might want to assassinate Xue Rengui."

……

"General Hua, as you expected, Zhang Shigui is planning to send someone to kill Xue Rengui. Now he has followed Xue Rengui to lurk in the inn."

"My lord is really good at predicting things, but I just want to embarrass brothers Rengui. I'm afraid they are not qualified enough." The one who spoke was none other than Hua Nan, the leader of the Rattlesnake Army.

Why did South China appear in Longmen County? He came here under Li Tai's order.And the twelve people who were going to lead the Rattlesnake Troop joined the army under Zhang Shigui's command.

Because Li Tai felt that the historical records on this matter were absolutely biased.Relying on Zhang Shigui's own strength, he wanted to hide Li Shimin and Xu Maogong from discovering Xue Rengui's existence.Simply unrealistic.

What's more, there was Marshal Wei Chigong, who wanted to fight as Xue Rengui's leading army, and made many military exploits. In the end, He Zongxian impersonated him.It shouldn't be possible at all.

But there is indeed such a record in the history books, which means that there must be something in it, something that is unknown.

Li Tai even suspects that this Shigui's actions were definitely ordered by someone.The person who is most likely to instigate Zhang Shigui is besides the emperor's uncle Li Daozhong.Li Tai really couldn't think of others.

Especially in the end Li Daozhong framed Xue Rengui for his concubine Zhang Meiren.It can't stand up to scrutiny even more.

So Li Tai suspected that Li Shimin, Xu Maogong, and even Yu Chigong knew that Xue Rengui was in Zhang Shigui's vanguard camp.

The reason why it has not been revealed is to elicit who the mastermind behind the scenes is.This can also explain why in the end, Cheng Yaojin burned Li Daozong to death, but Li Shimin did not punish him.

Because it was not Cheng Yaojin and Xue Rengui who wanted to put Li Daozong to death.It was Li Shimin, the son of heaven.

And what Li Tai wants to do is to slowly arrange people from the Huotou army.In the end, this fire-headed army became a nightmare for the entire Liaodong.And this blame will naturally fall on Zhang Shigui's head.

So it wasn't just South China who came with the rattlesnake, even some disciples of the Mo Sect rushed over.At that time, they will all become Xue Rengui's help.

Sure enough, as expected in South China, those little minions killed Xue Rengui, let alone.Even before Xue Rengui's clothes were dirty, Xue Rengui had beaten him to pieces.

Originally, Huanan thought that this matter would be resolved, but something unexpected happened.Because at this time, the county magistrate of Longmen County took Xue Rengui away.

The reason for arresting Xue Rengui was that Xue Rengui fought privately and severely injured him.In this way, let alone let Xue Rengui join the army, it is estimated that it will be very difficult to have a free body.

……

It turned out that not long after Xue Rengui left the barracks, Zhang Zhilong led people to the county government.When the county magistrate of Longmen County knew that Zhang Zhilong was coming, he naturally rushed out to greet him.

After all, my grade is several grades lower than others, so naturally I have a flattering expression on my face.It was almost as if Zhang Zhilong had kneeled down and licked his shoes.

"Master County Magistrate, I found a deadly enemy in your Longmen County. He relied on his high martial arts skills and severely injured one of my servants."

"Originally, I was planning to settle the score with him personally, but my servant, what he did was disgraceful. So I have been inconvenient to take action, but I can't swallow this tone. So today I came to ask the county magistrate for a little favor." Zhang Zhilong Smiling and said to the county magistrate.

And pushed a wooden box in front of the magistrate of Longmen County.The magistrate of Longmen County opened the wooden box and took a look, and couldn't help but gasped.Because there were 200 taels of silver in it.

"I don't know how the general will deal with that person given such a heavy gift?" As the saying goes, money can turn ghosts.When the magistrate of Longmen County saw it, the vain money had already left the laws of the Tang Dynasty behind.

"I don't want to kill people. After all, it's not a big enmity. I'll find someone to create an opportunity for the county magistrate, and then you'll catch him in the county government jail. Lock him up for a year or so and then release him." Zhang Zhilong He smiled and said to the magistrate of Longmen County.

For the magistrate of Longmen County, this is simply too easy. For 200 taels of silver, it is simply too worthwhile for me to lock up an ordinary person for a year or so.Even if you let yourself take his life in prison, the 200 taels of silver are enough.

This is Zhang Zhilong's strategy to Zhang Shigui, first use money to bribe the county magistrate of Longmen County.Then find a way to catch Xue Rengui in the prison of the county government.In this way, Xue Rengui wanted to join the army.

Xue Rengui was taken to the county government office, and the county magistrate of Longmen County couldn't help but ask the government servants to give Xue Rengui [-] slaps.The reason is that Xue Rengui was in the inn, making trouble for no reason and severely injuring him.

Xue Rengui didn't even have a chance to explain, so he was directly thrown into the prison.This is something that Xue Rengui never thought of.But up to now, Xue Rengui also wants to cry but has no tears.

He can only hope that his brothers will find him and find a way to rescue him from the county government.After all, the matter of joining the army cannot be delayed.

"I didn't expect this Shigui to be ruthless enough to throw brother Rengui directly into the prison of the county government. It seems that this matter will take some effort." Seeing Xue Rengui being imprisoned, Huanan said to himself Said to himself.

So South China found Zhou Qing and others, and told several people about Xue Rengui's experience.When Zhou Qing and the others learned that Xue Rengui had been thrown into the prison of the county government, they were all so angry that they wished they could smash the prison right away.

"The recklessness of the brothers can't solve the problem. Brother Rengui is going to join the army. So you have to find a way to let him come out in an open and honest manner." Hua Nan said to Zhou Qing and others.
