Ming Dynasty man

Chapter 66 Embarrassment
You must know that the traitor had connected with the two brothers Cai Ping and Cai An a few months ago, so how could it be a false surrender?
There is nothing wrong with the bandits' brains. Could it be that they planned to fight against the officers and soldiers a few months ago?Isn't it okay to ask for a draw?

Since Liu Baihu said that Liu Hong was very stable in his work, the reason why Liu Hong was unwilling to move lightly could only be that the combat effectiveness of the officers and soldiers was not good enough, and they did not have the ability to fight a protracted war.

Think about it too, how can officers and soldiers be firm-willed and united if they can't even pay their salaries?
It seems that what Liu Baihu said is right, this Liu Hong is indeed very steady in his work, and he will never fight an uncertain battle.

After pondering for a while, Li Jing asked, "Are you sure you can recruit Liu Hong up the mountain?"

Liu Baihu shook his head: "Not sure."

Li Jing smiled.

This Liu Baihu really won't lie, which is very reassuring.

"Do your best. If you need anything, just go up the mountain and find me." Li Jing said seriously.

Liu Baihu nodded, thought for a while and said, "I need the head of the third young master of the Xu family. If possible, brother can give me some money."

Li Jing did not hesitate: "Okay! How much money do you need, I will ask someone to fetch it for you."

"Fifty, um... 40 taels is enough." Liu Baihu made a calculation.

"What is 54 ten, what can this little money do?" Li Jingqi said.

Liu Baihu looked at the soldiers behind him and said: "These eight brothers are all my confidantes. After I leave, they have to stay with my elder brother, but I have to bring money for the New Year to their families. Three taels should be enough, I will keep three taels for myself, and give the rest to Lord Liu Hong."

"Small, what's the use of 40 taels of silver? Ten taels per person, forget it, I'm too lazy to share it with you, you take 200 taels of silver back home. Er Gouzi, call Uncle Shen." Li Jing said and looked around. Look, shouted to a bandit.

"Yes!" A bandit not far away responded.

"Cough! Cough!" At this moment, two coughs suddenly came from a distance, and it was Shen Zheng's voice.

"Ah!" Shen Ying woke up suddenly when she heard her father's voice, and hurriedly pulled her hand out of Li Jing's hand.

Li Jing also suddenly woke up.

Presumably, Shen Zheng had seen him holding his daughter's hand a long time ago, probably because he saw that he was talking about something, so it was not easy to come and stop him.At this time, when he heard that he was looking for him, he sounded a reminder.

Li Jing only felt hot all over his face.

Li Jing has never been so shy after growing up so big.

"Cough! Cough!" Li Jing hastily coughed twice to hide his embarrassment.

. .

When Li Jing spoke to Liu Baihu, the officers and soldiers had already been wiped out.

Seeing that there were no more officers and soldiers in the valley, Shen Zheng felt relieved, and then realized that his daughter had disappeared.

Shen Zheng was very anxious, and hurriedly sent someone to look for his daughter.

He didn't want his servants to look embarrassed when they returned, so Shen Zheng didn't ask any questions, only saying that the young lady was safe and sound.

Shen Zheng was puzzled, so he had no choice but to look for it himself. After walking around the valley, he finally saw his daughter in a leeward place.

Seeing that his daughter was safe for the first time, Shen Zheng felt relieved, but then his eyes widened.

The daughter's hand was held in a man's hand.

And that man turned out to be Li Jing.

Seeing Li Jing holding his daughter's hand, Shen Zheng was furious. He could not stop cursing Li Jing and his daughter's immorality for shaking hands in public.

Of course, Shen Zheng was only cursing in his heart, and he didn't dare to say it out loud.

Shen Zheng knew very well that although the flowers on the mountain were all produced by the Shen family, the Shen family was preserved because of Li Jing's protection, and now it is even under Li Jing's protection, so Shen Zheng was the one who offended Li Jing. won't do it.

Moreover, Shen Zheng also wanted to betroth his daughter to Li Jing in his heart.

Shen Zheng was angry because Li Jing hadn't found anyone to propose marriage to him so far.

Sometimes Shen Zheng even wondered if Li Jing didn't like his daughter.

But judging from Li Jing's behavior when he saw his daughter, it looked a little different.

It was precisely because Shen Zheng couldn't figure out what Li Jing was thinking that he got angry when he saw Li Jing holding his daughter's hand.

Shen Zheng walked a few quick steps forward, and was about to scold his daughter twice, when he suddenly saw a group of people kneeling in front of Li Jing.

Shen Zheng stopped in a hurry, and said in his heart: "It's dangerous! If you scold your daughter in front of outsiders, wouldn't it be Li Jing's face?"

Shen Zheng stopped, but did not leave, because he suddenly found out that he knew two of the people kneeling in front of Li Jing.

The third child of the Xu family and Xu Er, the housekeeper of the Xu family?

Xu Laosan was actually caught?

Shen Zheng couldn't believe it.

Shen Zheng wiped his eyes, and carefully identified it again. It was indeed Xu Laosan.

It's just that Xu Laosan's spirit is now sluggish, and he no longer has the domineering appearance when he went to Shen's residence to propose marriage.

As for Xu Er, his expression was gloomy, and he lost the arrogance he had before.

The Shen family can have today, the culprit is this Xu Laosan.

It can be said that Shen Zheng hated Youngest Xu until his teeth itch.

Shen Zheng was overjoyed to see Xu Laosan being arrested.

After thinking about it, Shen Zheng found a hidden place to hide.

He wanted to hear how Li Jing planned to deal with Xu Laosan.

Shen Zheng knew that although Li Jing was not relentless in killing people, Li Jing was definitely not a bloodthirsty person, which can be seen from the fact that he took in those bandits who had committed crimes in the past.

But Xu Laosan, Shen Zheng, would never let him go. If Li Jing planned to let Xu Laosan go, Shen Zheng would ask Li Jing to kill Xu Laosan even if he begged.

But Shen Zheng didn't hear Li Jing interrogating Xu Laosan after listening for a long time, and in the end he just ordered Xu Laosan to be chopped off lightly.

At this moment, Shen Zheng suddenly felt a little dazed.

This kills?
Isn't this too embarrassing?

Even if you give him to me first, let me beat him up!Don't you know that our Shen family was harmed by this kid?
Shen Zheng murmured in his heart for a while, then suddenly burst out laughing.

He himself was already in his fifties, yet he was so fussy, he was going to be killed anyway, so what did it matter if he was beaten or not?
However, after all, Shen Zheng was a little annoyed that Li Jing had killed Xu Laosan without informing him.

Shen Zheng was thinking about how to pose a problem to Li Jing, when he suddenly heard Li Jing say something about 40 taels of silver, and then casually said that it was 200 taels of silver.

Shen Zheng was even more annoyed in his heart, he thought to himself, you brat, do you think money is so easy to earn?A mouth is 200 taels of silver, do you know how long it will take me to earn back the 200 taels of silver?

Then I heard Li Jing call Er Gouzi and call himself.

Although Shen Zheng was angry, he also knew that this was not the time to be angry with Li Jingzhi, so he coughed twice hastily, and then walked out from the hiding place.

. .

Seeing Shen Zheng suddenly appear, Li Jing coughed twice, and then said, "Uncle Shen, are you alright?"

Shen Zheng glared at Li Jing, and said in his heart: "You already knew that I'm fine, are you here to care about me now because you want to please my daughter?"

But he said in his mouth: "It's okay, I'm old, I can't run, I fell behind, and I didn't meet the officers and soldiers."

Li Jingjing nodded and said, "Uncle Shen, you can't do this in the future. Even if all the brothers are gone, you can't come out. Not only can you come out to help, but it will only add to the chaos."

Li Jing said this with a hint of blame.

There is no way, Li Jing is not a fool, he knew that Shen Zheng must have seen him holding Shen Ying's hand, and also saw Shen Zheng's expression was a little weird, he knew that Shen Zheng must be angry.

He was indeed at fault for this matter, and if he wanted to prevent Shen Zheng from blaming him, the best way was to catch Shen Zheng's mistakes and blame him first, so that Shen Zheng wouldn't hold onto him.

Sure enough, after hearing Li Jing's words, Shen Zheng was ashamed.

What Shen Zheng did was really wrong, because Shen Zheng forgot what the purpose of the officers and soldiers was.

What are the officers and soldiers doing here?They are here to arrest these family members, to be precise, they are here to arrest the Shen family members.

Instead of hiding these people, you let them go out to fight with the officers and soldiers. Isn't this telling the officers and soldiers that we have no one here?Wouldn't that be a way to cheer up the officers and soldiers?When the officers and soldiers saw that the bandits even sent out the elderly, women and children to fight, why didn't they fight hard?

If the officers and soldiers did not want to capture these people alive, these old and weak women and children would have died or injured.

If Li Jing came back one step later, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Seeing that Li Jing was vaguely blaming, Shen Zheng hesitated for a while before saying: "At that time, I saw that Lao Chen organized those old bandits and successfully blocked the offensive of the officers and soldiers, so I wanted to follow suit. Who knew that those officers and soldiers saw us like a wolf seeing a sheep. Well, fortunately, my nephew came back in time, so it didn't cause a big mistake."

"Actually, I can understand Uncle Shen's meaning. Seeing so many casualties, I want to help. But we don't need old people and women to help us in the war. As long as we are here, as long as I, Li Jing, are here, I will protect everyone You don’t have to blame yourself, Uncle Shen, I’m actually to blame for this, because the number of people I arranged to protect everyone is too small.” Li Jing said.

Just say it, Li Jing doesn't want to offend the God of Wealth.

What's more, he still wants this God of Wealth to be his father-in-law in the future.

Li Jing and Shen Zheng were fighting each other, they could hide it from Shen Zheng, but they couldn't hide it from the beauties around them.

Shen Ying gave Li Jing a hard look, and said in her heart, "So you bullied my father so much."

Thinking of Shen Zheng's self-proclaimed shrewdness but being teased by Li Jing, he couldn't help but smile.

Li Jing greeted Mrs. Shen and the others again, and after hearing that Mrs. Shen was safe and sound, he said to Shen Zheng: "Uncle Shen, come, let me introduce you, this is Brother Liu who was just cast."

Then someone said to Liu Baihu and others: "Liu Ming, this is Uncle Shen, the God of Wealth in our cottage. You guys should report your family name too."

"Liu Ming met Uncle Shen, hello!" Liu Baihu hurriedly bowed and cupped his fists.

Liu Baihu did know some information about Shen Zheng, but seeing that Li Jing didn't mention it, he didn't dare to call it casually, so he didn't call him Master Shen.

The rest of the soldiers also hurriedly clasped their fists in salute.

Shen Zheng waved his hands, thinking: "This brat really has some skills, these officers and soldiers were actually subdued by him again."

Immediately thinking that he was about to bleed again, he couldn't help saying in his heart: "But if it weren't for me, you wouldn't be able to subdue these people. It seems that I am the most powerful."

After feeling complacent for a while, Shen Zheng smiled and said, "How much money do you need? Do you want to register them?"

Li Jingjing nodded and said, "Just 200 taels."

Shen Zheng understood in his heart that registering them was to subdue these people sincerely.
