I am not a counselor, I am trying to survive in the late Han Dynasty

Chapter 60 The person who wronged you knows that you are the most wronged

Xue Lan walked over slowly, her expression extremely ugly. Hao Meng didn't dare to neglect, so he quickly dismounted and bowed in front of Xue Lan and said:

"Mr. Xue, I just came here. There must be some misunderstanding."

Xue Lan snorted heavily and waved again, and his men pushed a tied-up man over. The man came forward cursing, and Hao Meng suddenly smiled bitterly.

"Lao Wu, what's wrong with you..."

It was Cao Xing who was tied up by Wu Hua Da. Cao Xing's military uniform was torn to pieces by the whip, and the sweat and blood all over his body mixed together and seeped out, making him look very miserable and miserable.

Unconvinced, he pushed away the people around him, staggered to Hao Meng, and said in a trembling voice:
“Boss, save me, these people are wronging good people!

When I arrived with my army, the thief had already retreated, and I didn’t know what was going on. Anyway, these birdmen just blamed me for killing and robbing indiscriminately!Damn it, I didn’t kill indiscriminately!Not even plundered! "

Xue Lan shouted gloomily:
“With so many people watching, could it be that I have wronged you?
You beast, you are the one who committed murder and arson today, Hao Meng, how can you let this matter go? "

Cao Xing cried and said:

"Boss, it's really not me. If it were me, if I didn't fight to the death, how could these birdmen capture me?
Help me, they are wronged! "

Cao Xing is really innocent.

They received an order to rescue people in the middle of the night. In the vast darkness, they didn't even use torches, so they could only follow the light of the fire in the distance.

Sure enough, there was another group of thieves looting over there. Cao Xing rushed forward to attack without saying a word. His men cooperated tacitly and soon killed the looting thieves until they screamed and fell on their backs.

After charging for a while, he killed all the thieves. Seeing Xue Lan leading people to put out the fire, he still stood there happily, wanting to see what the famous man's expression would be when he saw him.

Unexpectedly, after waiting for a while, Xue Lan actually came forward with a torch, accusing Cao Xing of being a thief and killing many good men, and she must make Cao Xing punished.

Cao Xing couldn't argue, and the soldiers around him were furious. They rolled up their sleeves and wanted to fight with Xue Lan.

Cao Xing was worried that the matter would get serious and bring disaster to Hao Meng, so he said that it must be a misunderstanding, and at worst he would stay until the matter was found out.

Anyway, he had a clear conscience, so he killed a few thieves who set fire to and robbed. Cao Xing did not believe that this was all wrong.

However, he was beaten violently immediately after he was captured. Xue Lan asked someone to tie him up, and after beating him, he made him admit that he was a thief.

How could Cao Xing admit that he was beaten so hard that if Hao Meng hadn't come over, he might have been beaten to death.

"Boss, save me, boss, save me. This has nothing to do with me!" He gritted his teeth and trembled, begging Hao Meng to save him, even if he said something nice for him.

Of course Hao Meng believed that Cao Xing was innocent.

Cao Xing is his old subordinate. His biggest hobbies are gambling and beautiful women. He really doesn't want to do indiscriminate killing. They are not short of food now, so why do they want to kill indiscriminately?

Although he didn't know the twists and turns, he could guess that there must be some mystery in it.

Hao Meng just wanted to defend Cao Xing, but when he met Xue Lansen's cold eyes, he trembled all over and swallowed what he said.

He has always struggled to be recognized by wealthy and famous people, and only with their support can he realize his ambitions.

If you defend Cao Xing, you can certainly save Cao Xing, but this will definitely make Xue Lan very disappointed, and there will be no need to discuss future matters.

Hao Meng was silent for a moment and said solemnly:

"Cao Xing, you are stubborn and stubborn. You were obviously caught, why don't you admit it?
Why do I have a thief like you under my command? "

Cao Xing was shocked.

He and Hao Meng had a lot of kindness along the way. Although Hao Meng was his superior officer, their relationship was more like brothers.

Especially since most of his friends along the way have died, and only these two are left to depend on each other, he thought that even if the sky fell, Hao Meng would still be on his side.

Unexpectedly, Hao Meng, who knew who he was as a person, would betray himself without saying a word!
"Damn it, Hao Meng, don't you know who I am?

Have I ever robbed?I'm going to starve to death and I won't even try to grab it!I didn’t, these people wronged me! "

"How dare you deny it!" A sergeant kicked Cao Xing hard in the abdomen, causing Cao Xing to cry out in pain, "How dare you deny it?

Who are you? Don’t we know?

The thieves under Lu Bu's command are full of vulgar words. Hey, at first glance, you are born to be thieves! "

These words were meant for Cao Xing, but they were quite unpleasant to hear in Hao Meng's ears.

He stared at Cao Xing hatefully and said:

"Confess quickly! If you don't, I won't be able to save you!"

As the saying goes, only those who have wronged you know how wronged you really are.

Xue Lan knew clearly that Cao Xing was innocent, but he had to put the blame on Cao Xing's head - at midnight tonight, Li Feng's family was attacked by Xu Shujun again.

This time, Xu Shujun took advantage of the night wind to set fires everywhere, and then beat gongs and drums. All he did was just like a dog and a dog, and it was completely unworthy of publicity. There were also many members of the Li family, and it didn't make much sense. The massive damage was done and Xu Shu was quickly driven back.

But unfortunately, Xue Lan recruited a large group of Shanyang thieves and stragglers before Xue Lan, and prepared to go to Liangshan to conquer Xu Shu.

This group of people were sleeping in the middle of the night, watching the nearby Li family manor on fire, and everyone became excited.

The first reaction of these people is definitely not to put out the fire. Taking advantage of the fire is their best job. Looking at the swaying fire and the roar of people around, they think that whatever they do now can be done on Xu Shu's head, so it would be unreasonable not to rob. .

So they went out together and looted desperately. Li Feng's family had already known their identity and were not afraid, so they took it seriously.

Xu Shujun's attack was thunderous but not rainy, and the Li family recovered from the initial panic. Everyone in the family closed their doors and defended themselves against the thieves. Seeing that the attack was not as smooth as expected, the thieves started again in anger. Setting fires everywhere made the fire even bigger.

Fortunately, Cao Xing led his troops to kill the thieves one by one, thus ensuring that the Li family was safe and sound.

Hearing that the Li family was attacked by Xu Shu again, everyone in Xue Lan went numb.

Where can such a thief exist?

Isn't it right to catch a sheep when shedding wool?
In desperation, he quickly got up and asked his generals to brave the cold wind and leave the city with him, ready to see if Xu Shu had eaten the courage of a bear's heart and a leopard's courage.

In order to prevent Xu Shu from making a sneak attack, he also specially arranged a way to defend the city and asked his soldiers to explore the surrounding areas to prevent Xu Shu from entering the city casually.

But when he arrived at the Li family's manor outside the city, he was shocked to discover a fact that left him speechless -

It may have been Xu Shu who caused the chaos at first, but later on it was the new army that had just assembled with his own money and food that caused a lot of damage and even disturbed the city.

These people are all old bullies in Jiyin. When many people saw Xue Lan, they directly called Mr. Xue familiarly. This made Xue Lan's face crooked with anger. He couldn't help but cursed that these people were nothing. .

But at the same time, Xue Lan, who was nearly sixty years old, gradually discovered that she seemed to have fallen into Xu Shu's conspiracy!
Yes!

That's it!

Xu Shu had attacked Li Feng's family these few times. He and Li Feng could not have any grudges. He had already said that the previous attacks were at the instigation of Xue Lan.

No one believed this kind of nonsense at the time. Xue Lan and Li Feng had no hatred, so why would they hire a group of bandits to kill Li Feng when they had nothing to do?

But no one believed it once, but twice?

three times?
This time Xue Lan also summoned a lot of local bullies to prepare to attack Xu Shu. It's not like the Li family didn't know these people. How do you think this matter can be solved?

You, Xue Lan, said before that you were not the one you found. Is it the person you found this time?
It is impossible to remain rational in a state of extreme panic.

This time it was definitely the person Xue Lan found, but it might not have been the case last time.

The Li family has already called their friends and they will probably run away at dawn.

When the time comes, this matter will spread instantly, and the news will definitely change as it spreads. God knows what it will be like in the future. Where will Xue Lan's old face be put?

Therefore, Xue Lan could only keep knocking on the door in the middle of the night, asking the Li family not to panic and come out to have a talk.

But this night was too cruel for the Li family. It was both murder and arson. If the Li family hadn't been rich, they might have made the same mistake as Xu Si. Let alone Xue Lan knocking on the door tonight, even if They didn't dare to open the door even if Zhang Miao came.

A few sane people told Xue Lan through the door that it was not impossible to talk, but the Li family was attacked twice, and Xue Gong had to hand over the murderer and give an explanation.

If there is no explanation, the Li family will say that they dare not stay in Juye, and they will leave as soon as dawn tomorrow.

Xue Lan was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. He cursed Xu Shu in his heart that he was not a human being, but he could only think of a solution quickly.

If according to ordinary people's assumptions, it would be fine to hand over the murderer.

Those bullies and scoundrels all deserved to be beaten to death, but Xue Lan, the local local gangster and celebrity in Shanyang, couldn't do this.

If a wealthy family can occupy a place like this, they must recruit a large group of such people to help them force the people to move forward. Only then can Xue Lan and the others have enough food and clothing in such a calamity year, and can talk and brag every day.

Okay, okay, you called me here, and then you killed me. You have such a sense of justice. Do you think your family is too stable in Shanyang? Otherwise, everyone will talk to you in the future?

Just when Xue Lan was at a loss, he suddenly thought of someone——

Yup!

And there’s Lu Bujun!

To be honest, this kind of thing can be understood after the wealthy families talk about it slowly. The top priority is to find someone to take the blame. It doesn't matter whether he is the real murderer, but as long as he has enough weight and can convince the public by telling it, he can get away with it for the time being. .

It just so happened that Lu Bujun had a particularly bad reputation. He was about the same height, short, fat, and thin, so they could be used to temporarily calm the Li family's anger.

So he surrounded Cao Xing, using both soft and hard tactics to force Cao Xing to be captured.

Anyway, Cao Xing's fellow Xu Shu didn't kill any of his men, but he killed many Shanyang bullies. Xue Lan just used Cao Xing's head to appease these real "own people"!
