Spring and Autumn I Am King

Chapter 494: The cunning rabbit dies, the running dog cooks

Within a day, Pianyi changed again, and the people were panicked. The young and strong children of their family were sent to the south gate by Hou Chongzheng, the actual controller of Pianyi, where a unique "trial" was underway. conduct.

Zhao Wuxi's words were powerful: "You keep saying that you have conversations and dictation, but if you don't have a handwritten testimony, you can't use it as a testimony. What's more, there is a law in the state of Lu that is stored in the treasury. Senior retainers must inform the monarch before they can be publicly indicted, and finally killed in the family temple, otherwise it will be considered a violation of the etiquette."

"What about now? The slaughter of a city was fine yesterday, but today he was killed on the spot at the banquet. This is an extraordinary murder case. Everyone listens to it, and if you listen to it, it will be dark. How can I only listen to you? One-sided words?"

It was rare for the State of Lu to meet such a small Sikou who pursued procedural fairness so much that Si Chi was speechless. He hurriedly stabilized his mind, the etiquette was right, but now which minister of Lu State still obeys?

Thinking of this, Si Chi's heart was settled. Facing Zhao Wuxi's threat, he felt that it was just thunder and no rain. He could laugh and listen to Zhao Xiaosikou's saliva. oneself.

However, at the end, Zhao Wuxi said: "Xiao Sikou can summon anyone below the doctor to inquire about the case. You will send Gongruo's body and let the party concerned, Ma Zhenghou, come here to confront him immediately!"

Si Chi's complexion changed, this was Zhao Wuxi's true purpose behind the many excuses! What are you doing with Hou Zong? There must be deceit in it, no, we can't let him and Hou Zun come into contact again!

He smiled reluctantly: "Homa is right at him..."

At this moment, a voice sounded behind him: "Don't bother Xiao Sikou for a long time, Hou Zong is here!"

...

Si Chi's shirk was interrupted by a voice, and he looked back. It was Hou Zun, who had settled down the other three gates, walking slowly from the North and South Streets on a fat horse and in armor. The confrontation between Zhao Wuxi and Si Chi, Hou Zong has been watching for a while. I admire Zhao Wuxi's attitude and eloquence.

Zhao Wuxi breathed a sigh of relief, today was probably the day when he spoke the most false words. What procedures are out of decency, what unilateral testimony can't be trusted, it's a fool to mention these at the juncture of the Rush. Those are just lines that he used to play with as "Xiao Sikou", because he had to draw out the key figure of the coup, Hou Cun, in order to try to save the situation.

Since the main character is on the stage, today's good show has just begun, and the outcome is unknown!

He once again assumed the stance of a pirate: "Si Chi, you should step back first, I want to question Hou Zong alone."

Si Chi ignored it. He said to Hou Zun, who passed by him, "Don't go, be careful of cheating, and don't forget how Yang Hu was plotted against by the Zhao clan!"

Hou Zun hesitated for a moment, but Zhao Wuxi took the initiative to come down the city, his mount slowly emerged from the city gate, and he threw down the bow and arrow hanging on the saddle, showing no doubt. Zhao Wuxie's equestrian skills were superb, and it was easy to escape, and judging from Hou Cun's performance, he didn't dare to hurt himself.

He also made people shout loudly: "Hou Mazheng. You and I don't bring subordinates or weapons, and ride to talk within ten steps. How about?"

Si Chi was in a hurry, and grabbed Hou Zun's shirt tightly under the horse: "Don't go, I heard that Zhao has made a small hand crossbow that can be hidden in his sleeve, and the arrow will die within ten steps!"

Hou Zong was a little impatient, but he shook off him: "If I can be attacked by the famous Zhao Xiaosikou with a crossbow and killed by himself, I, Hou Zong, can be considered dead, what's the pity?"

Although Si Chi is highly respected, he has many tricks. However, he was the only one who did not hold military power and could not stop Hou Zun. He could only watch helplessly as he rode forward. Of course he knew who his accomplice was, and he felt more and more uneasy.

...

ten steps apart. Zhao Wuxi saw Hou Cun's figure clearly through the torch and the light of the moon. He was tall and thin, his arms were slender, and the copper sword without a sheath around his waist had drank blood, which seemed to be covered with a red glow.

Zhao Wuxi spoke first: "Hou Mazheng, Si Chi has been planning with you for a long time for this matter?"

"That's right, we've been planning for half a year, and it wasn't until nearly a month ago that we had a chance." In addition to the respectful expression on Hou Cun's face, he was a little more contented.

Are you proud of killing Gongruo? Gong Ruo treated him like his own son, but he didn't have any regrets when he attacked him, and he couldn't see a trace of guilt afterwards. He Ping said that he was a careerist and someone who could be bought with big profits. .

Very good, as long as people have weaknesses, women, money, power, even for the people, trust in others, an ideal that has turned into an obsession, these are all weaknesses, and Hou Zun's weaknesses can easily be taken away. Zhao Wuxi grasped it.

So Zhao Wuchun smiled and said, "I heard that Gongruo treats you very well, and even has the idea of ​​passing the Yizai to you, why would you help Uncle Sun to attack and kill him?"

The expression on Hou Criminal's face was a bit strange: "Because I am a retainer of the Shusun clan, and he betrayed the master..."

Zhao Wuxi shook his head: "No, it's not just because of this, Gongruo's body is tough, and it's possible for another ten or 20 years, so you can't wait for Gongruo to die, so you can take the lead. But Shusun's stingy is also famous. Yes, if my guess is correct, the benefit that Si Chi promised you for this matter should be the governor of Yiyi, or Sima, but it is definitely not Xiyi, because the uncle and grandson will use this place as the clan head after the event. , will never allow it to fall into the hands of other private cities..."

Now that Zhao Wuxi doesn't say a word about justice, etiquette, etc., he is just constantly leveraging the stone of interest in Hou Zun's heart. Hou Zun was not careful, and Zhao Wuxi walked away in a rhythm. His words were passive, and his situation was closely related to Zhao Wuxi's guess.

So when Zhao Wuxi pointed out an important fact, Hou Cun was instantly moved.

"Now that the town is in your hands, thousands of soldiers are at your disposal, and the soldiers and the people of the country bow their heads and listen, but after the uncle accepts this town, you have to return it to the uncle, don't you think it's a pity? "

Hou Gang clasped his palm tightly with his fingers: "This is what I should do as a minister, and I ask Xiao Sikou not to say anything..."

"Should? You're wrong, nothing in the world should be."

"Does Hou Ma just think that it would be good to change to another county to be the governor or Sima, and the position is at least higher than that of Ma Zheng? But this is the best situation, but have you ever heard a word, called the death of a cunning rabbit. A lackey. Cooking, the birds are gone, and the good bows are hidden! A man cannot be without power for a day. After you hand over the city and soldiers to the Shusun clan, you will lose the means of standing in the world. Shusun Zhouqiu is a narrow-minded person. He can murder Gongruo, and he can also murder you in turn!"

"The cunning rabbit is dead, the lackey is cooked, the birds are gone, the good bow is hidden..."

This is indeed a very reasonable sentence, and Hou Zun's face changed greatly: "Then what should I do?"

Zhao Wuxi now completely loses his image as a justice judge, and he is a demon who wants to commit crimes against mankind: "Don't hand over the city to the Shusun clan. You can just refuse to defend it. Here is Mount Tai in the north and Wen in the south. Water is a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is impossible for the Shusun family to attack by force alone.”

The horse that Hou Cun sat on felt the trembling and uneasiness in the owner's heart, and the horse's hooves kept raising and lowering.

"But if I had no uncle Sun's protection, I would also be besieged by the entire Lu country..." His eyes suddenly lit up: "I can't go to the Qi country..."

"Qi State?" Zhao Wuxi laughed loudly: "You forgot what happened to Yanghu when he went to Qi State?"

Recruiting wise men requires reputation, but international reputation is like a snowball. The Marquis of Qi was betrayed by Yanghu again, and he detained Ziyang, a disciple of Bian Que who came to Qi to save the dying. The reputation began to deteriorate gradually, so before the deceased from various countries wanted to escape into Qi, they had to consider the reputation of this country.

So after thinking about it. Hou Cun also lost his confidence in joining Qi. He was really stumped now. He was suspicious of Si Chi and Shusun Zhou, and he was not loyal at all, but his ambitions were all over the place, so he began to lower his head and think about his own. way out.

In the end, it was Zhao Wuxi who showed him a clear way: "Hou Mazheng, don't think about it anymore, you have nowhere to go. Pingyi is located between the two countries of Qi and Lu, and it is a battleground for military strategists. If you want to keep it for a long time, only Me. Only Xilu can accept you!"

...

"Xiao Sikou...will you accept me?" Hou Zun's eyes widened, a little disbelieving. Just now, he was able to come over because of Zhao Wuxi's fame. He had already done a good job and was scolded and questioned for killing Gongruo, but Zhao Wuxi didn't mention it and invited him to join the team. .

"I have offered Gongruo a lot of conditions. If he had agreed two or three days earlier, he would not have ended up in this situation. The gangster of this division is not right to the person. What I am looking for is Xianyi, not Gongruo, or Those conditions remain the same. If you are willing to join the secret alliance of the doctors of Xilu, I can help you get rid of your sins! If you stand firm in Piaoyi, I can swear that you will not interfere in the internal affairs of Piaoyi. In this state, it’s enough not to let Shusun Zhouqiu meddle in this town, how about it?”

Hou Zun's heart skipped a beat, this was exactly what he needed, but there was still no news after hesitating. After all, it would take a lot of risks.

But Zhao Wuxi's next sentence made him completely hesitant.

"After the matter is over, I can recommend you to become a real Yizai! Even... a Yi doctor!"

"Yi... Doctor Yi!?" Hou Fu was breathing rapidly, which was a huge benefit he had never thought of.

"Isn't Xiao Sikoumo joking?"

"Now is the time when hundreds of rivers are boiling and mountains are collapsing. The status of princes and officials can be described as high shores as valleys and deep valleys as mausoleums. Nothing is impossible. Therefore, Yanghu was originally an **** in a district, but he almost blocked it. Liu Xiazhi was originally a thief with monstrous crimes~www.wuxiahere.com~ but as long as he can make enough military exploits, I can recommend him as a doctor, let alone you?

"I'd like to follow Xiao Sikou!" Hou Zun did not lose his ambitions, he said he would change, he agreed quickly, then turned his head to look behind him, lowered his voice and said, "Si Chi will definitely not agree, he should How to deal with him..."

Zhao Wuqi smiled and looked at Hou Zong, who had already entered the play: "You are the owner of this town now, what do you think should be done?"

A ruthlessness flashed in Hou Zun's eyes: "I know what to do!"

A moment later, Si Chi's white-haired head was put in a box by Hou Criminal and presented to Zhao Wuxi at the South Gate. Like Gong Ruo, he couldn't rest his eyes!

This is the condition for Zhao Wuxi's promise to withdraw from the South Gate, and it is also the vote of Hou Zun...

Zhao Wuxi glanced at it and asked people to put the heads of Si Chi and Gongruo together, thinking in his heart:

"Si Chi will be said to have died at the same time as Gong Ruo in a firefight. Of course, this can't deceive San Huan. It's just that when he died, Hou Zong had no way out. When the soldiers of Shusun Zhou Chou came to accept the city, he would be able to escape. After eating a bowl of closed doors!" (To be continued.)
