Chapter 185 Breaking into the Theater City(1/2)
Li Shui didn't sleep well all night because Cang Fu came several times and asked him why the calf hadn't come back yet.
Li Wen was also a little puzzled. A calf riding a fast horse could go back and forth in a few hours. Why didn't he see anyone yet?
Is there something wrong with this theater city? One person is missing?
Li Shui did not send anyone over rashly. After all, it was night and it was dark and unsafe to walk at night.
He comforted Cano and told him to wait one more night and immediately send someone to check the situation early tomorrow morning.
Cang Fu agreed with a sad face and limped away. Li Shui looked at his right foot and thought to himself: "It can't be so effective, right?"
At dawn the next day, Li Shui called seven or eight strong craftsmen and asked them to mount fast horses and go to the theater immediately to find out what happened to the calf and the iron head.
Originally, Cang Fu wanted to follow, but he was stopped by Li Shui. He was too old and weak, and the journey was bumpy. I'm afraid that Tietou was found and Cang Fu was put in the coffin.
After sending away the craftsmen, Li Shui accompanied Cang Fu at Shang Jun's Villa to wait for news.
At this time, a craftsman came to report: "There is an adult outside, standing at the door and refusing to come in. I want you to go out and meet me."
Li Shui asked: "Who is it?"
The craftsman said: "I don't know the villain, and he refuses to tell me his name."
Li Shui waved his hand: "Tell him, the unknown rat is gone."
The craftsman left in a hurry. After a while, he came back and said, "The person who came is the emissary, Zhao Teng."
Li Shui chuckled: "Sure enough, this person is really stingy. Isn't it just one hundred thousand dollars? Tell him that I invited him this time and let him come in."
After a while, the craftsman invited Zhao Teng in.
Li Shui saw that Zhao Teng was wearing green cloth clothes and a big bamboo hat on his head, looking like he was in disguise. No wonder he insisted on talking outside the door this time. It turned out that he was prepared for it and was not afraid of being recognized by others.
Li Shui said helplessly: "Brother Zhao, you are already a grown man. Do you think it would be interesting to compete with me like this? You just admit it obediently and you are my best friend. How great?"
Zhao Teng said calmly: "If I don't admit it, I will get into trouble. If I admit it, wouldn't it mean that I will die without a burial place?"
Afterwards, Zhao Teng took out a bundle of bamboo slips and threw them to Li Shui.
Li Shui opened it and saw that the bamboo slip was written by Yan Le, the magistrate of Xicheng. The content was to sue Huaiguzi and Zhao Teng for treason.
Zhao Teng said: "It was getting dim today, the city gate opened, and there was a man who couldn't wait to enter the city. After entering the city, this man arrived at Zhao Gao's mansion, and seemed to want to deliver a message. After seeing that Zhao Gao's mansion was sealed, he was shocked.
Standing on the street looking around blankly."
"My people arrested him and found this letter from him. Yan Le, the commander of the theater, may want to join forces with Zhao Gao to sue you and me. Yan Le married Zhao Gao's daughter, and the two
The relationship has always been close."
Li Shui asked curiously: "Didn't he know that Zhao Gao had fallen?"
Zhao Teng said: "I don't seem to know yet."
Li Shui sighed: "Information asymmetry kills people."
Zhao Teng also sighed: "I have a reputation for being upright and upright, which is well known all over the world. Why are you still dragging me down?"
Li Shui smiled proudly.
Zhao Teng asked: "What's the best way to banish an immortal?"
Li Shui said: "What do you think His Majesty thinks after reading this confession?"
Zhao Teng thought for a while and said: "First I thought it was absurd, then I felt that Yan Le didn't know the difference between right and wrong and was ineffective in doing things. Then maybe I felt... Yan Le was framed by you and me."
Li Shui smiled and said: "What if I tell Your Majesty that this confession was obtained from outside Zhao Gao's house?"
Zhao Teng's eyes lit up: "You mean... report it to His Majesty immediately? And involve Zhao Gao?"
Li Shui nodded.
Zhao Teng asked in confusion: "I thought you had let Zhao Gao go."
Li Shui was stunned: "Who said I let Zhao Gao go?"
Zhao Teng said: "Zhao Gao entered the palace as a slave and you haven't seen you take action for such a long time. Didn't I let him go?"
Li Shui waved his hand: "I'm waiting for Wang Wan to take action."
Zhao Teng was silent for a while and said quietly: "When Wang Wan and I were drinking yesterday, he said he was waiting for you to take action."
Li Shui: "..."
Well, now no one has to wait, Zhao Gao's son-in-law has taken action.
The son-in-law is half a son. The person who will send Zhao Gao to his death has been found.
Li Shui handed the memorial to Zhao Teng, and then said: "This confession was confessed by my buddy Niu Dao. It seems that they were arrested by Yan Le. I have to go to the theater, otherwise, they will be in danger
.”
Zhao Teng hummed: "You and I will split up. I will go to the palace to see His Majesty, and you will go to the theater to save your people."
After the two of them discussed it, they left Shangjun's Villa.
A quarter of an hour later, Zhao Teng looked at Li Shui next to him in confusion: "Master Huai, didn't you go to the theater? Why did you follow me to Xianyang?"
Li Shui said helplessly: "Are you kidding me? I'm going to the theater alone? If Yan Lego jumps over the wall, wouldn't I die there? Of course I have to call my friend Li Xin."
Zhao Teng opened his mouth, not knowing what to say. Finally, he choked out a sentence: "Master Huai is really... thoughtful."
…………
Just when Li Shui entered Li Xin's mansion, the craftsmen had already arrived at Dahuaishu Village on their fast horses.
From a distance, they saw the fertile fields of Dahuaishu Village. The seedlings in the fields were lush and green, but there was no farmer working.
Craftsmen, you look at me and I look at you, both of you are a little confused.
They used to be farmers, and they know that there is no way to be lazy in farming. If you are not careful, you will go hungry. Why is the atmosphere in the city so lazy?
After they entered the village, they found that all the strong laborers in the village were sitting under the shade of the trees, looking longingly at the entrance of the village.
The craftsmen were even more surprised.
When the villagers saw the craftsman riding a horse entering the village, they immediately surrounded him enthusiastically and asked with a smile: "Who are you looking for?"
The craftsman said: "Tietou lives here?"
The villagers cheered in unison: "We are really waiting for his accomplices."
Then, these villagers swarmed up and came to capture the craftsman.
The craftsmen were startled, kicked down the first few people with their feet, then mounted their horses to rush out of Dahuaishu Village.
However, the villagers, some holding hoes and some holding wooden sticks, surrounded several craftsmen's households.
At this time, if the craftsman rode his horse and galloped, he could rush out, but in this case, the horse would definitely trample several people to death.
They hesitated again and again, but still couldn't make a move. Finally, they were pulled off their horses, tied up, and sent to the theater.
The craftsmen shouted loudly: "Why are we tied up?"
The villagers all said, "You are thieves, why can't you be kidnapped?"
The villagers are quarreling with the craftsmen, and they are also quarreling among themselves. The thieves are rewarded with silver. Now the reward is too small and there are too many villagers, so it is a bit troublesome to distribute it.
Finally, Li Zheng stood up and told everyone that after receiving the reward, they would be divided equally according to their heads. The men of each family would get a full share, and the women would get half. Children and the elderly would not be counted.
This distribution method was fairly fair, so the villagers surrounded the craftsmen and walked towards the theater.
As a result, before leaving the village, there was a puff of smoke in the distance.
The villagers squinted their eyes and looked over there. Soon, they saw a large group of people in the smoke. These people were riding tall horses, wearing armor, and carrying swords at their waists. At a rough look, there were probably more than a thousand people.
people.
The craftsmen suddenly cheered: "It's Lord Banished Immortal, Lord Banished Immortal is here."
The villagers were stunned. The thousand people had already arrived at Dahuaishu Village.
Li Shui took the lead and rushed into the crowd.
When the villagers saw that this man was not reining in his horse at all, and seemed to be killing someone without paying for his life, they all ran away.
And Li Shui took out the gold medal for immunity from death and shouted loudly: "I have the gold medal for immunity from death. There is no need to pay for killing people. Anyone who dares to act rashly today will be killed!"
When the villagers heard this, they were so pissed that they wanted to hide back in the village. But Li Xin led a thousand soldiers and surrounded them.
Li Shui ordered people to untie the craftsmen and took a closer look. All the craftsmen had bruises and swollen faces. They had obviously been beaten.
Li Shui waved his hand and said to them: "Whoever beats you, call me back immediately. We can set off after the beating."
One of the craftsmen hesitated and said: "There were so many people who beat me just now, I can't remember them clearly."
Li Shui said calmly: "Then hit them all."
The craftsmen responded, and like tigers and sheep, they rushed into the villagers and started punching and kicking them.
The villagers were all crying and begging, "Sir, sir, we are just following the law and reporting rape."
Li Shui said calmly: "Does it take beating someone to accuse someone of rape? If you continue to make excuses, I will chop your head off."
Half an hour later, all the villagers were crying and crying. But the craftsmen finally let go of the bad breath in their hearts.
To be continued...
