The path of the villain is not easy

Chapter 144 Hinata
So Changsun Ji can't kill him now, but not killing him doesn't mean letting him go so easily.

"Look at you, you are so useless, you probably don't have the guts to collude with the rebels." Changsun Ji said contemptuously.

But when Hu Yaozhong heard Changsun Ji's words, instead of being angry, he nodded repeatedly and said, "That's right, that's right, your reading is really accurate, look at how brave I am, how dare I collude with some rebels."

"Although I don't think you will do anything to collude with the rebels, the county lieutenant said that you were in collusion with the rebels before he died. What's the reason for that?"

"General, you have to trust me. When I reported it, the county lieutenant colluded with the Liang army. I saw it with my own eyes. He wanted to pull me in, but I sternly refused. He was afraid that I would inform you. , so he shouted "Catch the thief" and framed me." Hu Yaozhong opened his mouth and said.

The corner of Changsun Ji's mouth curved into a smile, although Hu Yaozhong's lie was full of loopholes, for example, he said before that he had no knowledge of the matter, but now he said that he saw it with his own eyes.What's more, if the county lieutenant really pulls him into the gang and he sternly refuses, can he still live so well?It is estimated that it has been silenced a long time ago, and there have been several logical errors like this.

But Changsun Ji didn't care, he didn't care whether Hu Yaozhong was telling the truth or a lie, and he didn't care whether the county lieutenant was really colluding with the rebels.

What he cares about are the few words Hu Yaozhong said. With these few words, there is an explanation for him to kill the county lieutenant's family. To pull a fig leaf.Everyone should at least face each other decently.

"Since you saw the county lieutenant colluding with the rebels with your own eyes and reported it to me. Only in this way can I deal with the county lieutenant in time, so that this matter does not have any major consequences. This is your credit. As for your colleague Some of them colluded with the rebel army. As the county magistrate, you have lax supervision and have done it. Now that the merits and demerits are balanced, I will not hold you accountable anymore."

"En?" Hu Yaozhong was a little puzzled, when did he report the county lieutenant?He couldn't remember for a moment.However, he soon put this question behind him, what the hell?Anyway, it's good for yourself.At least this incident and my own fault offset each other.

"Yes, yes, General Changsun, you are really discerning and rewarding. I admire you so much." Knowing that he should be fine, Hu Yaozhong breathed a sigh of relief, relaxed, and patted Changsun Ji a series of flattery .

Changsun Ji waved his hand and said, "Okay, get up. Don't say any more disgusting words. I'm not as good as you said. I'm just enforcing the law impartially."

Hu Yaozhong twitched his face, laughed a few times, and didn't say much.

At this time, he heard Changsun Ji say again: "Magistrate Hu, I believe that you have not joined the rebels, which does not mean that others will believe it. Do you think the county magistrate will only tell me about this? In this city, except You have to think about who else has a good relationship with him in his family. Changsun Ji said with a smile.

"Thank you general for reminding me, I will remember it." Hu Yaozhong's face changed first, and then a ruthless look flashed again.

"Okay, now that you know it, let's back down."

"Yes, I will resign." Hu Yaozhong bent over and was about to leave the room.Changsun Ji kicked the county lieutenant's head when it rolled out of the brocade box, and said, "Don't forget the gift I gave you."

Hu Yaozhong laughed dryly twice, and said: "Okay." While putting his head in the brocade box, he turned and left.

As a result, before he walked out of the room, he heard Changsun Ji say again: "I gave you a gift, you must remember to return the gift. I prefer local products, so just give me some local products. I look forward to your gift." oh."

"Definitely, definitely." The smile on Hu Yaozhong's face became even uglier.

Afterwards, he opened the door and hurried out, he was afraid that if he would not go out again, Changsun Ji said some terrible words again.

…………

At noon, the rain that had been raining all night had stopped.Changsun Ji and his party slowly left Dunqiu in the warm farewell of Hu Yaozhong and other city gentry, and walked north along the river.

In this Dunqiu, Changsun Ji ruthlessly slaughtered the county magistrate Hu.After all, he was beaten by himself. In order to save his life, magistrate Hu took out a lot of his precious treasures at the bottom of the box, just to satisfy Changsun Ji.

Before leaving, Changsun Ji felt a little funny when he saw Magistrate Hu's pained face.

In fact, just leaving like this, Changsun Ji was not worried that Hu Yaozhong would report to the court after he left, because the consequences would be completely different for Changsun Ji and himself.

Because as long as he plays the court chief Sun Ji to capture the city of Yan State and privately kill the county lieutenant, then it will definitely lead to the involvement between himself and the Liang army.

Regardless of whether he has anything to do with Liangjun, but after Changsun Ji's persecution this time, as long as he talks about Liangjun, he will definitely feel guilty. Then this is enough. Yan Guo always treats rebels with an attitude that they would rather kill than miss , especially an insignificant official like him.

And with Changsun Ji's current status and what he has to do, even if it is just killing the county captain, it is just a trivial matter. In addition, Changsun Ji added another crime to him. Changsun Ji believes that the people above the court are Playing football, and finally let it go.

That's why Changsun Ji didn't worry about Hu Yaozhong playing tricks on him afterwards.And in order to keep Hu Yaozhong from being idle, Changsun Ji also found something for him to do, which was to stir up conflicts between him and the Dunqiu family.

In fact, as long as the seeds of doubt are planted, the psychology of suspicious neighbors and robbers will grow stronger and stronger as time goes by, and eventually it will explode completely as time accumulates.

…………

Yangping was not very far from Dunqiu, because after the rain stopped, Changsun Ji was worried that the Liang army would cross the river directly, so he asked the troops to march in a hurry.

That night, Changsun Ji and his party arrived in Yangping.

However, what reassured Changsun Ji was that what he was worried about did not happen, and the Liang army had not forcibly crossed the river.Now the entire Yangping two lines of defense are still in the hands of the Yangping defenders.

When the army arrived at the city of Yangping, Changsun Ji originally thought that Yangping, as the main target of the Liang army's attack, should have its gates closed. Unexpectedly, the gates of the city were opened in all directions.

Changsun Ji stopped outside the city gate and ordered people to go inside to inform.In this gap time, he got an interesting news from the guards, that is, Yangping not only does not close the city gate during the day, but also does not close the city gate at night.
