Qin Jin was furious when he heard this, and he took the case.

"Bian Lingcheng erected, but it's a pity that the old man Geshu returned to heaven, and he let this thief breathe and resurge. ”

Everyone knows that Ge Shuhan is extremely domineering, and he commands the army as Shangshu's left servant, and he doesn't take Bian Lingcheng, a eunuch, in his eyes at all, and he has been crushing him to death since he arrived in Tongguan.

Qi Bihe told how Bian Lingcheng suffered from Ge Shuhan in his letters several times, and Qin Jin couldn't help but laugh every time he saw it. It seems that the wicked still have to be surrendered by the wicked, and patience and compromise with people like Bian Lingcheng can only be exchanged for their intensification.

It's a pity that Ge Shuhan is dead now, and Bian Lingcheng, the scourge spirit, is impatient to jump out and brush up on his sense of existence.

Qin Jin knew very well that Bian Lingcheng's robbery of the 30,000 fugitives and emergency military rations that were about to be filled into the river engineering camp was definitely not what the people needed in Tongguan, otherwise how could Ge Shuhan allow himself to form a river engineering camp to repair the Zhengbai Canal? There was only one reason for Bian Lingcheng's actions, and that was to oppose himself.

The most critical point is that Bian Lingcheng has an almost instinctive dislike for Qin Jin, if he doesn't jump out and go against it, the sun will come out of the west.

If there is no envoy coming, he will definitely pick up people to catch up and snatch people back with dignity. The fugitives were not soldiers, and it was impossible to reach Tongguan from the Weinan area without five or six days. Therefore, the Shenwu Army has plenty of time to respond.

However, these are sensitive times, and more is better than less. Qin Jin found that all he could do was endure or endure. Maybe Bian Lingcheng saw this point before he dared to swagger out.

Moreover, even if this lawsuit goes to the Son of Heaven, Bian Lingcheng has enough reasons to deal with it. The requisitioned were only 30,000 fugitives, and the priority of Tongguan's defense was much higher than the dredging of the Zhengbai Canal, and the Son of Heaven and the prime minister would definitely not speak for the river engineering camp.

However, if these 30,000 fugitives could not be filled into the river camp in time, then the established construction period would have to be delayed, which gave Qin Jin a headache.

"Looking for another group of fugitives, the war outside the gate has been fought for more than half a year, and the people who have fled to the gate are by no means limited to what is in front of them. ”

Lu Qi had been in charge of the training and preparation of the fugitives, and he immediately spread his hands and replied:

"These 30,000 fugitives were also gathered in Weinan after the last general's efforts were wasted, and the fugitives didn't know where to hear the rumors, all of which said that seven or eight out of ten coolies in the river camp would be exhausted and drowned, so that a large part of the fugitives went to Shuzhong. ”

Jingyou also chimed in.

"General Lu is right, although Jing has little contact with military affairs, he still heard some rumors, saying that we are abusing river workers, and we are full of bones and corpses......

The rumors were like this, and Qin Jin couldn't help but frown and ponder. This is obviously an organized and premeditated rumor-mongering, and although it is not known for the time being who is behind it, one thing can be asserted that if the rumor is not extinguished as soon as possible, the impact and consequences will be unimaginable.

"Lu Qi, rumors must be banned, and you can kill people when necessary!"

Lu Qi agreed, but Jing You was taken aback, in his eyes, Qin Jin was a person who rarely put the word killing on his lips, how could he be so afraid of some rumors? Although he didn't know why, he still felt an inexplicable urgency, or rather, this urgency was like the stuffiness and anxiety before the storm.

Something big must be happening!

Jingyou secretly guessed.

Lu Qi and Jing You left the county guard mansion one after another, and when Jing You got into his carriage and was about to go back to the house, Lu Qi suddenly squeezed up.

"Prison Army, don't you mind piggybacking on Lu, right?"

To tell the truth, Jing You is very jealous of Lu Qi, knowing that this person's methods are ruthless, and those who offend him will not end well, and now this person takes the initiative to post it, there is no good thing. However, Jingyou is a weak person, where does he have the courage and confidence to say no?

saw Jingyou smile embarrassedly.

"General Lu said some foreign words and rode in the same car with the general, but Jing's glory!"

After that, Jing You whispered to the rider outside: "Let's go, slow down, don't mess with General Lu." ”

The carriage set off slowly, moving at an almost walking speed in the city.

Jing You did not do this out of malice, but to leave enough time for Lu Qi, otherwise, Jing You's residence was less than three hundred steps away from the county guard's mansion, and the carriage was only a few moments away, and he would never want to entertain this evil god in his own mansion.

Lu Qi smiled slightly, and immediately guessed Jing You's thoughts, he was not annoyed or angry, knowing that Jing You was such a timid and fearful virtue, even Qin Envoy Jun had a loyal and cowardly comment on this person. If you embarrass Jingyou with this matter, and it spreads out in the future, won't you have to be criticized and bullied?

Although Lu Qi's methods are ruthless, he also disdains to use them on the weak.

"Isn't the prison army worried that the envoy of the Son of Heaven has evil intentions?"

Sure enough, Jing You secretly said that Lu Qi really wouldn't go with him without incident, but Qin Lingjun swore an oath in this matter, what could he say?

"What Qin Envoy Jun said, Jing also feels reasonable!"

This sentence was against his will, but he really didn't know how to respond to Lu Qi.

"You're lying, your eyes are clearly saying, you don't believe it!"

Jingyou sighed:

"The general clearly knows that Jing You, the prison army, is in name, whether it is the Shenwu Army or the Longwu Army, we will not say a word, even if we don't think about this kind of thing, it is just powerless!"

"This is a fallacy for the supervising army, you have the edict of the Son of Heaven, and you are in a position of honor, although you can't transfer troops, but it's by no means useless. ”

Jingyou was confused by Lu Qi, and simply told him bluntly:

"Does General Lu have a plan? If there is a place to get Jingyou, just say it, do what you can, and never refuse!"

Hearing this, Lu Qi laughed and praised it with satisfaction:

"The prison army is really fast-talking, so Lu is not welcome. ”

……

The next day, Qin Jin sent out three rangers in a row, but they failed to find out the whereabouts of the envoy of the Son of Heaven, and according to the itinerary, they should have arrived in Tongzhou at noon. An ominous premonition began to linger in Qin Jin's heart.

Sure enough, when the Fourth Ranger returned, the mystery was revealed.

The fugitives who were robbed by Bian Lingcheng on the pretext of preparing Tongguan somehow actually killed officials and rebelled, and they raised the banner of eliminating traitorous ministers and eunuchs for Tianxingdao, and marched all the way to Chang'an. Not only that, but this group of fugitives who killed officials and rebelled even issued a document against the rebellion in a decent manner, and Yang Guozhong, Bian Lingcheng, Yu Chaoen and other traitorous eunuchs were among them.

According to the clues found by the Fourth Route Ranger, it is likely that the envoy of the Son of Heaven encountered this group of fugitives who killed officials and rebelled on the way. It can only be said that they were extremely unlucky.

This news was so shocking that the adjutants on duty in the county guard office thought it was a prank by some people after hearing about it. However, when they saw the gloomy and terrifying face of the county guard, they all understood that this was not a prank, but a real fact.

Qin Jin immediately summoned several henchmen in Tongzhou to discuss the matter, and Qin Jin's worries were different, Lu Qi and others applauded this, and even Du Fu felt that the rebellion of these people would at least let the Son of Heaven hear the voice of the people, and it would not be a good thing if the ugly faces of Yang Guozhong, Bian Lingcheng and others could be exposed.

In their opinion, a group of fugitives is just a group of fugitives, even if they are allowed to kill officials and rebel, how much storm can they toss?

But in Qin Jin's view, the trouble was not only in the 30,000 fugitives who rebelled. There is a saying in later generations that a spark can set the prairie on fire, but what can set the prairie on fire may not be the fire of relief and relief that people want. This fire can be either the fire of justice or the fire of evil.

For the current Tang Dynasty, 30,000 fugitives rebelled in Guanzhong, and its impact is probably second only to An Lushan's rebels breaking through Tongguan.

Qin Jin believed that the Shenwu Army, and even the forbidden army in Chang'an, could easily wipe out the 30,000 fugitive rebels. However, the political implications and implications are far more profound.

This rebellion will deal an even heavier blow to the foundation of the Tang Dynasty and shake the legitimacy of Li Longji.

Taizong of this dynasty once said that water can carry a boat and also overturn a boat, and the people are the water that carries the boat, and now even the people have rebelled after An Lushan, doesn't it show that the emperor of the Tang Dynasty has been unpopular with the people?

Qin Jin could even imagine what Li Longji would be angry when he heard about this rebellion.

In addition, Qin Jin was even more concerned that the Shenwu Army was the direct organizer of the river engineering battalion, and as the commander of the first army, he was afraid that he would not be able to escape the blame, and even Jingzhao Yin Weiji, who was also the envoy of the river canal, might be implicated in the rebellion of the fugitives. Although on the surface, it was Bian Lingcheng's misdeeds that led to this rebellion.

With Qin Jin's understanding of the prime minister in the court, he can say that the white is black when nothing happens, not to mention that the rebellious fugitives are inextricably linked with the Shenwu Army?

Long before the meeting, Qin Jin had already ordered someone to send a letter to Wei Ji in Chang'an, asking him to prepare early, maybe a storm in the court was coming.

Looking at the appearance of the cronies raising their eyebrows, Qin Jin suddenly felt something, and it was difficult to guarantee that there was no relationship between them in this matter. After thinking about it, he sighed again, even if it had something to do with some people here? Can the person concerned admit it? Even if he did, what if it does? Does it help the situation?

"Yan Changshi, immediately drafted the text, Qin wanted to ask the Son of Heaven to join the prison army and order Cheng not to do anything, and Daoming caused a rebellion because of this. ”

Yan Lun is old in official affairs, and he is familiar with this kind of official document, Qin Jin is most suitable to use this person to draft the text sent to the political affairs hall, of course, he himself will also have a copy to send to the Son of Heaven to personally impeach Bian Lingcheng for several major crimes.

No matter how many people will be affected by this major event of the fugitive rebellion, Qin Jin is at least sure of one thing, that is, Bian Lingcheng is finished, as the person directly responsible for the fugitive rebellion, there is no reason to retreat!
