Chapter 147 Not killing is not enough for the anger of the common people, not killing is not enough
"Take a one-eyed dragon!" Wang Shi stood at the door of the lobby and shouted loudly. Two servants immediately responded to drink. After a while, Zheng Balang, wearing handshakes and shackles, was taken to the hall by four servants.
Although Zheng Balang looked a little embarrassed, he was not panicked at all. He always believed that as long as he had value, he would not have to worry about not being able to survive. At the beginning, Wang Jin arrested him and blinded him in one eye, but in the end he did not kill him. He didn't think there was any difference between Li Jing and Wang Jin, and he even felt that Li Jing should need him more than Wang Jin. Because Li Jing is weaker and more powerful now.
"Kneel down!" Li Shugen saw the one-eyed dragon standing in the hall and was still standing proudly. He couldn't help but get angry. He raised his foot to the bend of his legs and kicked him to the ground before he could stop. During this process, Li Jing and other generals were watching coldly, and no one said a word.
"You dare to put on airs when you die. One-eyed dragon, you said, if you are not your Xiaoyao pirate in Liaodong, why do you come to Dengzhou to sneak attack my Shamen Town?" Li Jing asked coldly. He lost 600 people in one battle. Although Shamen Town won, it was a terrible victory. Now that Li Jing saw him, he wanted to immediately peel off his skin and suck his tendons.
Zheng Balang looked up at Li Jing and said, "I am also ignorant of Mount Tai. I was completely forced by Wang Jin, a navy commander of Dengzhou. I have a handle in his hands. When I was a pirate in Dengzhou, I was wiped out by Wang Jin. He killed my subordinates, captured my family, and asked me to work hard for him. Over the years, I have been unable to help myself, and the money I got from robbing at sea was basically handed over to Wang Jin. A few days ago, Wang General sent his family general Wang Fu to come to me with a handwritten letter, saying that the general beat his nephew and injured his face, and asked me to come in to attack Shamen Town. General, this is not my original intention, it is all instructed by Wang Jin. I have family members in his hands, and I can't help but."
Li Jing glanced at Zheng Balang coldly: "Really?"
"It's true, I will never dare to deceive the general. If I have half a lie, I will immediately kill me by cutting it into pieces."
"Where is the letter Wang Jin wrote to you?"
"I carry it with me. I have all the letters that Wang Jin wrote to me over the past few years, as well as the property I handed over to Wang Jin, in the account book. I put them all in a small box and carried them with me. I have been searched by the general before." Zheng Balang answered 110 times without any concealment.
Li Jing turned to Li Shugen and said, "Go and check it out and bring everything inside." In his eyes, Zheng Balang had already become a dead end. However, Li Jing did not intend to kill Zheng Balang immediately. At least he had to find out the evidence of the pirates collusion with Wang Jin.
Li Shugen quickly brought back the wooden box, the letters and account books that Zheng Balang mentioned. Li Jing opened it and looked carefully. Sure enough, there were more than a dozen letters written by Wang Jin to Zheng Balang, but they were all pseudonyms and secret words were used in the letters. However, Zheng Balang remembered the account books very clearly, and remembered every item handed over to Wang Jin clearly. After a rough calculation, Zheng Balang actually contributed more than 600,000 yuan to Wang Jin over the years, basically at least 100,000 yuan a year.
However, if only these dozen letters and this account book are still available, Li Jing cannot take Wang Jin. The letters are written in pseudonyms, and the content is mostly in code words. Even if it can be proved to be the same as Wang Jin's handwriting, he would never admit such things. The Wang family is powerful in the army of Ziqing Town, and even if Song Wei wants to deal with the Wang family, he must be cautious. Li Jing was a little disappointed and looked up and said to Zheng Balang: "How do I know that these letters are not your imitation, and the account book is your fake record? General Wang, the navy of Dengzhou, is a general of the court. How can you falsely abstain from a word or two? Come in, drag Zheng Balang out and behead him."
Several servants rushed up, and Zheng Balang changed his mind at this time. He never expected that Li Jing would chop him up without saying a word. This was beyond his expectations, and he could no longer calm down. He quickly shouted: "God care, General, what I said is true."
Several servants ignored him, kicked him up and dragged him away like a dog.
"General, don't kill me, the small ones are useful. As long as the general spares the little one's life, the young one will be the general's flying eagle and lackey in the future, and will serve the general's work." Zheng Balang shouted anxiously while struggling hard.
Just as he was about to be dragged out of the hall, Li Jing finally waved his hand: "Stop and drag him back."
The servant followed the order and dragged Zheng Balang back to the hall.
"Tell me, what use can you do to me if I don't kill you?"
The one-eyed dragon walked in front of the Ghost Gate at this time. Facing Li Jing, he could no longer calm down, and quickly shouted: "As long as the general spares my life, I will be a general's dog in the future. The small one has more than 20 ships of all sizes and sizes in Duli Town, Liaodong, and more than 1,000 subordinates enter. As long as the general can spare the young one, my subordinates and the ships will belong to the general in the future. Every year, I can offer 100,000 guan of money to the general, no, 200,000 guan a year."
“That’s all?”
"Also, there is a general who doesn't like anyone. With just one word, I will never refuse to let go of him. I will help the general get rid of him immediately."
Li Jing smiled: "I don't like Wang Jin now. Can you get rid of him?"
Zheng Balang gritted his teeth: "Yes, as long as the general releases the young man, the young man will immediately take him in to assassinate Wang Jin."
"How do I believe you? Didn't you be Wang Jin's lackey before? But now you see, you have already said in front of me that you would take Wang Jin's life for me. How could I know, after you let you go, will you listen to me again, or will you turn around and say the same thing in front of Wang Jin?"
"I gave my wife and son to the general for qualifying." Zheng Balang didn't dare to underestimate Li Jing at all now. He couldn't understand this. He had to hold on to the straw rope tightly and didn't dare to let go.
"Didn't you say that your family is in Wang Jin's hands?" Li Jing glared.
Sweat suddenly appeared on Zheng Balang's face, "The little family is indeed in Wang Jin's hands, but I have married another one in the past few years, and my son was born later."
"Hahaha!" Li Jing laughed several times. "Write down all the collusion between you and Wang Jin and write it immediately. Be sure to write it clearly, the more detailed the better."
Zheng Balang didn't care about Li Jing's intentions, so he nodded and agreed. A servant brought the four treasures of the study, took off his handshakes and stood by and watched him.
Li Jing sat on it, watching Zheng Balang write quickly, but he was also thinking in his heart. It has to be said that the plan proposed by Zheng Balang made Li Jing a little moved. He accepted Zheng Balang's favor, and he had a black money investment of 200,000 yuan a year. There was also a thousand-digit horse hidden on the sea and could be used at any time. This temptation is indeed great. And it was also very tempting. Wang Jin had been controlling Zheng Balang for several years and earned more than 600,000 yuan from him. In addition, he used this power several times to do some black jobs that he was not suitable for taking action.
But after this idea passed in his mind a few times, Li Jing hesitated. From the moment when Zheng Balang bit Wang Jin without hesitation and even agreed to assassinate Wang Jin himself, Li Jing knew that this guy was a poisonous snake, a poisonous snake that would never be trusted. Even if Zheng Balang was willing to take his wife and children to him, what was his wife and children to Zheng Balang? He had his family besieged Wang Jin, but he still married another wife and gave birth to a son.
Li Jing even suspected that as long as Zheng Balang is released, this guy will be out of control. Compared with Wang Jin, his strength is still inferior. At present, everything in Shamen Town has not yet been on track, but has just suffered a heavy blow. What if he is released, what should he do if he comes back to take revenge? Even if he dares not come back, what if he hides in Duli Town, Liaodong, ignores him anymore, what can he do? If Zheng Balang is released, will the hundreds of pirate prisoners be returned to him?
"General, I'm done."
Li Jing thought for a long time without realizing it until Zheng Balang interrupted in a low voice.
Li Shugen presented the long hand scroll, and Li Jing browsed it well. He wrote it completely according to Li Jing's requirements. The above wrote down how he and Wang Jin knew each other, how he reached an agreement, what he was present at that time, how he worked for Wang Jin afterwards, how much money he offered to Wang Jin every year, how Wang Jin sent him to do some black work, etc., which were all very detailed.
Nodded, Li Jing said, "Let him sign and put his handprints on his signature!"
After Zheng Balang signed the handprint and put his handprints on his signature, he said with anticipation: "General, when will I let me go?"
"Let you go? When did I say I want to let you go? The arrogant pirate, who committed such a lot of crimes, still wants to survive. Come in, pull this in and immediately tell everyone to open the death of Lingchi in the square. "Li Jing shouted coldly. After thinking about it, he finally decided to execute Zheng Balang. The cruelty revealed by Zheng Balang made Li Jing unable to let him go. Now his power is too weak to effectively control the one-eyed dragon. Since that is the case, it is better to kill Anxin with one knife.
"General, you said you would let me go, you can't do this." The one-eyed dragon was shocked and never expected that such a result would be.
Li Jing sneered: "Don't worry, you won't be lonely on the road to the underworld. I will send all the pirate leaders to accompany you on the road. Take them away!"
