Chapter 807 Showing Your Identity (4)
As one of the most powerful subordinates around Jiang Guixun, Gu Sizhu is not only very smart and eloquent, but also has outstanding martial arts. Especially the Snake Quick Sword with his family's soft sword is even more lethal. Under the cover of his gentle appearance, almost no one can escape his sneak attack.
Today he wanted to use this move to hold on to the "rear" and make his desperate situation turn around. For this reason, Gu Sizhu's move this time was faster and more fierce than ever before. The soft sword in his right hand had not yet fully expanded, and his left hand had already urgently tapped the other party's wrist pulse door, trying to hit the target with one blow.
He thought this time would definitely win, and he was planning to negotiate with it as a qualitative matter. Then there was a flower in front of him, and the target was blocked tightly by a figure. He leaned forward with his left hand, but he faced a cold light. The guard who was following Ling Li was even more terrifying than he had judged, and actually blocked his sneak attack!
A sudden stern heart, Gu Sizhu hurriedly stopped and avoided it. At the same time, the soft sword immediately stabbed into a left sweep from the front, trying to resist. However, the speed of the sword was faster than he had imagined. Before his hand was retracted to his chest, the blade had quickly caught up with him. Before the soft sword could resist, it swept past his wrist.
Puchi-
Gu Sizhu felt a sudden slight in his left hand, and then a severe pain came, and finally a sense of despair made him feel even more scared, making him scream that he could not even believe that he would come from his mouth: "Ah——!"
But then, the scream was suffocated again, because the knife had swept up again and was placed on his throat. His eyes also met Li Moyun's cold eyes with a hint of murderous intent. The strong fear, like the terrible oppression of a lamb falling into the tiger's mouth, made him unable to even feel the pain in his body at this moment, and he was all alone on the spot.
The stunned ones were not just Gu Sizhu, and the Shen family and his son were completely shocked by this dangerous and bloody scene. Especially Shen Yunxiang, his eyes widened, full of panic and disbelief. He opened his mouth wide, but couldn't even make a scream. His body was trembling, he was regretful, and he was deeply puzzled. How could things develop to this extent?
It was not until this time that the wrist that was broken by a knife fell to the ground, and then streams of blood gushed out from Gu Sizhu's broken wrist, splashing so hard that the ground in the hall was dark red. His face turned pale. I don't know if it was because of the instant blood loss or excessive frightening.
"Now, we can speak well, right?" Li Ling said with no surprise at all for such a result, nor was he influenced by the miserable opponent.
Gu Sizhu smiled miserably and threw down the soft sword. He knew that he was far from being the opponent of the person in front of him, so there was no need to hold the sword to resist meaninglessly.
Over the years, Li Moyun's martial arts have been increasing, and this time it was just a small test. Perhaps it was because he was caught off guard by the opponent, but only from the results, it can be seen that he was more than one step ahead of Gu Sizhu. Moreover, this was because Li Ling slapped him behind the back in time, otherwise the knife on the other party's throat would have cut off his entire head.
It was not until he saw him dropping his weapon that Li Moyun took back his sword and took a step back, but he still stared at him. Seeing this, Gu Sizhu smiled again and then looked at Li Ling: "Who are you?" With such a master's protection and so bold that he dared to seriously hurt himself at will, the identity of the foreign businessman in front of him who was despised by him was obviously not as simple as he thought before. Even in this situation, he still maintained quite calm.
"Of course I am not an ordinary businessman, and I came to Suizhou not to make money or provide relief to the local disaster-stricken people. To be honest, my real purpose here is you. I did all this to attract you from the darkness." Li Ling did not reveal his identity first, but first explained his real purpose in Suizhou.
Chen Tian was stunned when he heard this, but then he became a little clearer. Yes, this person who is extremely capable and skilled, how could he be an ordinary businessman? This made him even more grateful for his persistence just now, otherwise he might have offended a truly powerful person.
But Gu Sizhu's face became more paler at this moment, and his right hand holding his left wrist was trembling slightly: "You... are you from the capital? You are Li Ling's subordinate, no, you are the patrol and comforting commander Li Ling..." The last sentence almost burst out from the cracks of his teeth. At the same time, when he made this judgment, his eyes were full of despair.
There was a moment just now, and he guessed that the other party would be a member of the Luotian Sect. After all, there were not many people with such courage and masters in the whole world. Perhaps only the Luotian Sect traitor who was determined to rebel would do such a thing.
But as Li Ling said that, he quickly guessed the other party’s true identity, an identity that made him even more frightened and powerless.
I thought that Lord Li was still outside Huguang and was still socializing with many local officials and forces along the way. However, he did not expect that he had already escaped and arrived in Suizhou early on, mastered a lot of inside information, and destroyed his own big game of chess, and even exposed himself and others to him.
Waiting for this exposure myself, I exposed the governor.
This Li Ling is really more terrifying and difficult than the rumored one!
Li Ling looked at him with some praise, then smiled and nodded: "You guessed it right. Just now, many people in the government office had already known my true identity and helped me take down all the people, including He Ben. I thought I only had to arrange to take down the merchants who came to Suizhou to take over the grain. I didn't expect that you could give me a surprise. It seems that your status with Jiang Guixun should be quite low. With you as a witness, your persuasion must be stronger than others."
"You... do you really want to be an enemy of Futai Master?" Whether it was because of pressure or fear, Gu Sizhu shook his body again and took a step back slightly.
"It's not that I want to be an enemy of him, but that his actions have really harmed the people. Since I was ordered by the court, I should find out everything and make him pay the price to deal with." Li Ling replied very clearly, "In fact, it's not just him, but also the guilty people who try to sacrifice the welfare of the people to seek selfish interests after this locust plague are the ones I want to deal with."
"Mr. Li, do you know how widespread the people involved? Not only Huguang, but also in the court, there are many people who benefit from it. Once you really do this, you are going to be an enemy of everyone!" Gu Sizhu was still making the final fight and said loudly.
"So what? No matter how many of them are, they can be more than tens of millions of ordinary people who can't afford to eat after being affected by the disaster? Also, you don't have to try to persuade me with such nonsense. I said, since you come to Huguang, you have to take down all the prisoners and let the court punish them severely. If you have a little conscience, what you have to do at this time is to explain everything you know, and then testify against corrupt officials such as Jiang Guixun in the court, and give justice to the people of Huguang!" In the last few words, Li Ling was already harsh and even more powerful, pressing over with a strong aura, which caused Gu Sizhu's body to shake again and take a step back: "I..."
"Do you think you have another choice? As a confidant around Jiang Guixun, since you have fallen into my hands, there are also a father and son of the Shen family who can be proved by others. Do you think you can still get rid of the crime? By the same token, if you are guilty, it naturally means that Jiang Guixun is also guilty, so don't try to hide it for him anymore. Just think about how to protect yourself." Li Ling seized the opportunity and persuaded him again.
He knew very well that compared to a small person like He Ben who obeyed orders, Gu Sizhu, who truly mastered Jiang Guixun's many secrets, was the more useful one. He put it in the hall, and the weight was much heavier. So now he had to convince him and use it for his own use.
After being watched by Li Ling, Gu Sizhu's expression changed again. He felt that the matter was really absurd. He clearly had the dominance just now and wanted to convince Chen Tian to prove that the guilty person "Ling Li" had changed his identity by 180 degrees in a blink of an eye. He actually changed the "Ling Li" to force himself to testify against the governor?
"I..." He seemed to be shaken, and took a step back as his body swayed. A glimmer of hope flashed in Li Ling's eyes: "As long as you are willing to nod, I promise you that you will be able to protect you from your own good. Even if you can't become an official in the future, you can have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life!"
"I--" Gu Sizhu said the word "I" again. Just when Li Ling thought he was about to nod and agreed, he suddenly got together and retreated and rushed towards Chen Tian with an extremely rapid posture.
From the beginning, he had never been moved by Li Ling because his loyalty to Jiang Guixun could withstand any test. Not to mention this pressure, he would not hesitate at all even if he threatened his life and his whole family's life.
The hesitation just now was just to confuse the opponent - not Li Ling, but the guards around him. He could see that the two guards who came in with him were real masters and were far from able to deal with them. At the same time, he knew better that he could no longer hurt Li Ling.
So the decision he made in this situation was no longer to assassinate Li Ling, but to change the target to Chen Tian. If he killed him, his affairs would be unclear and he would not implicate the governor. More importantly, the other party would never think that he would try hard when he arrived, and the target would choose Chen Tian, who seemed to be insignificant.
He was ready to move, and he had reached Chen Tian's body with just a little ups and downs. He didn't have time to turn around. His intact right hand suddenly grabbed it from front to back, and directly grabbed the other party's throat.
