Chapter 16: Frustrated Xiangyang
Xiangyang City is located in the south bank of the upper reaches of the Han River, the south, north and east are surrounded by water on three sides, only the west side is against the mountain, because of the special geographical location, and the city wall is solid, the city is high and the pond is deep, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, it is known as "the Fancheng of paper paste, the Xiangyang of iron", although the city is not very big in the country, but because of the war, it has already been famous all over the world, everyone knows it.

Saying that Fuju, Shijie, Yaping three people left Xiangdangzhuang, then Xiaoxing overnight, horses like a fly to Xiangyang, when they marched to the home of Song Yaping in Tangzhou, the two could not withstand Song Yaping's kind invitation to repay the kindness, to his house for two days less, then set off to Xiangyang.
Although the weather has entered the spring of March, it can be said that the spring is bright and bright, and the flowers are blooming, but Fuju has something in his heart, since he has no intention of watching, all the way to the horse, not a day, he entered Fancheng, came to the front of Hanshui, it takes three or four hours to see the sky to darken, and the two immediately led the horse to the wharf to cross the river by steamer.
The two of them marched to the ferry, and saw that a ferry was about to set off to the other side, and the two shouted to lead the horse and got on the boat, and went to the opposite shore.
The river water is clear, silently flowing eastward, a gust of river wind blows, it is cool air hitting people, people can't help but shiver, Fuju faces Xiangyang City which is getting closer and closer, and can't help but be excited, when he thinks that he is about to meet his wife Zhang Yufeng, tears can't help but flow out of his eyes, when he heard that the boat arrived on the shore, he hurriedly wiped away his tears, and led the horse to go ashore. And after going ashore, Guo Shijie, who was paying, turned over and got on his horse, and then beat the horse and ran to the city gate.
"Stop, what are you doing?"
Fuju never expected that as soon as he arrived at the gate of the city, before he entered the city, several guards of the gate would come forward to stop the way forward, he was strange, and hurriedly reined in his horse, and asked in surprise, "What are you doing?"
"You say, what are we doing standing here, it's naturally a routine," said the leader of the group, and carefully looked up and down, left and right, and went to Fuju.
"We are not merchants, and we don't have any loans, what do you have to check?" Guo Shijie, who arrived later, asked angrily;
"What's wrong with the businessman, tell you, there is an order from above, as long as anyone comes from the north, no matter who enters the city, they must be checked," the man glanced at Guo Shijie, and then looked at Fuju again as he turned around. When he saw Fukuju's face again, he didn't believe his eyes, and rubbed his eyes with his hand, and when he was sure of it, he couldn't hide the joy in his heart, and immediately cried out in ecstasy, "Quick, brothers, catch him, and we'll be rich," and the leader threw himself at Fukuju.
Fuju was surprised and avoided him, "What are you doing?"
"What do you say, look what this is," the man said, and immediately took out a roll of hard paper from his body, shook it with a wave of his hand, and it was originally a proclamation from Zhang Haiyu.
Fuju immediately understood what was going on, and without waiting for them to make a move, he had no way to retreat, and regardless of the obstacles of the officers and soldiers on the way forward, he rushed towards the city on his horse.
When the gatekeeper saw this, he immediately shouted wildly, "Hold him, catch him, don't let him run," and stumbled into the city. However, how could the two human legs catch up with the four horse legs, after the horse entered the city and turned two corners, he couldn't even see the shadow, and the guard was helpless, so he turned around and reported to the Xiangzhou Assassin Wang Ban.
It is said that the Xiangzhou Assassin Wang Ban was talking about the delivery with Yang Shihou, the former Shannan Dongdao Jiedu envoy who had been transferred to Luzhou to recruit envoys from all sides, and after hearing it, although he had already learned from Du Chongkou who had come from the capital, but now he was taken aback when he learned that he had come, although he was a little scared in his heart, but he did not take immediate action, until Yang Shihou was sent away, and then people rushed to call Du Chong to go.
Rank in will definitely ask why this Wang Ban is here, in fact, there is nothing strange about it, let's not say that Wang Ban escaped from Zezhou, this is not false at all. Although Nazezhou was later retracted by Liu Zhijun and their troops, he was already frightened, his soul was not possessed, and he was unwilling to serve there, so he begged Zhu Wen and left there, and after arriving in Kaifeng, he was familiar with the officialdom, so he did not hesitate to use money and beauties, and asked for the help of his colleagues. In addition, when Zhu Wen saw that he was still loyal and dedicated to the country, and the country was in urgent need of employment, he was assigned to Xiangzhou as the assassin, and was taking over the transfer of Yang Shihou and serving as the envoy of Shannan Dongdao. That's why he's here.
Let's say that as soon as Wang Ban saw Du Chong coming, he immediately told the news he had received: "Lord Du, that Fuju has arrived today, and has already entered the city, what do you think? Do we want to search the whole city?"
Du Chong said with a clear mind: "Lord Wang, the whole city is searching, this is not necessary, he will automatically send it to the door, we just need to open a net and capture it." ”
Wang Ban asked in bewilderment, "How can you open the net?" And if you want to catch fish, you have to have bait! We don't have anything to gather, how can you catch fish?"
Du Chong explained, "Lord Wang, you are in the middle of the bait, in fact, you are the bait, think about it, that Fuju is looking for you now, not you are looking for him, if he wants to get things done, he can't do it if he doesn't come to you, so you are the bait." We only need to lay a net around you, and then the blessed house will not be able to escape. ”
"According to what you say, we don't need a city-wide raid. ”
Du Chong retracted his bowels and said, "Of course, that will only cost the people and money, and it will be in vain." ”
Wang Ban asked heartily, "Then I have here, have you laid it all out?"
Du Chong said frankly, "Don't worry, Lord Wang, I have already laid everything out, just waiting for him to take the bait." ”
When Wang Ban heard this, he was immediately relieved. But let his subordinates always pay attention to everything outside.
After saying that Fuju hit the horse into the city for a while and threw off the pursuit, he considered that the government would definitely take action when he learned that he had entered the city. In order to confuse the government and facilitate his actions, he decided to create an illusion and waited for Shijie to come by slowing down his horse's pace. Guo Shijie, who followed closely, caught up with him without much effort, and after Fuju immediately whispered a few words to Guo Shijie, he turned over and jumped off the horse.
Guo Shijie didn't dare to slow down, so he immediately took his horse and went out of the city from the West City Gate. After running out of the city for a while, he went into the mountains and forests, found a no-man's land, and abandoned the horse, he knew that the Fuju would be robbed at night, and took advantage of the sky that was about to darken step by step, and hurriedly turned back to Xiangyang City on foot, and entered the city to find the Fuju.
Let's say that after Fuju saw Guo Shijie beat his horse out of the city, he was not in a hurry to find an inn to live in, but took advantage of the fact that the sky was still bright to find out the situation of the Assassin's Mansion. Those who have never been to Xiangzhou are not familiar with this place, so they asked passers-by all the way to the Thorn Mansion. In order to know oneself and know the other, he was invincible in a hundred battles, and after facing the Thorn History Mansion for a long distance to see and understand the situation outside the Thorn History Mansion, in order not to startle the snake, he immediately left there. Originally, he thought that after Wang Ban learned that he entered the city, he would inevitably search the whole city, but he didn't expect that two or three hours had passed, and there was no movement in the official mansion, which made him feel strange and puzzled, and he didn't know what tricks Wang Ban was playing, but he didn't care about this, and according to the place agreed with Guo Shijie, he found an inn and stayed.
Guo Shijie came over when it was completely dark. Both of them had already had dinner, and in the face of the situation that the government did not take any action, the two of them couldn't guess what the Wang Ban meant, and they couldn't understand what the Wang Ban was playing.
It's the third watch of the night, and the two don't care what conspiracy and tricks Wang Ban is playing, in order to rescue his wife as soon as possible, or go straight to the Assassin's Mansion to find Wang Ban, except for a few wild dogs barking from time to time on the street, they are in the other, the two of them walked forward without saying a word, and they didn't make much effort, and they arrived in front of the Assassin's Mansion, facing the pitch-black, silent Assassin's Mansion, the two listened carefully for a while, and after hearing that no one was moving inside, facing the wall three or four meters high, the two of them each took out a hundred exercises from the treasure bag and grabbed it. Shake the hand to put it on the wall, and then, pull the rope to climb the wall, the hundred Lian Fei caught in the bag, asked the road stone and threw it over, saw a no voice, two no dog barking, turned over and jumped off the wall, then pad the double step, bow the knee, the deer and the crane, look forward and backward, look left and right, one front and one back, cautiously, like a night bat, from the front yard to the backyard.
The night was deep and quiet, as if asleep, lifeless.
The two of them walked cautiously, all the way, not to mention that none of the soldiers on patrol met, not even the night watchman, the two people who marched to the middle of the backyard of the palace were strange, facing the dark situation of the Thorn Mansion, the two were surprised that they didn't know which room to look for Wang Ban, suddenly, there was a bang, and immediately, in the front and back of the house, the lights were bright, hula, many sergeants, rushed out of the room, and surrounded them.
The two of them were taken aback, no wonder there was no movement in the entire yamen, no wonder they didn't search the whole city, it turned out that they had planned a long time ago, and they had already laid a net here and waited for themselves, it was really cunning, and the two of them involuntarily retreated.
"Fuju, I haven't seen you for many days, don't come to be harmed," with a question, it came out of the crowd on the other side.
Fuju didn't expect that someone inside would know about Lu himself, and he was even more surprised, knowing that it was a blessing or a curse, and that he couldn't avoid it, so he asked calmly, "Who is Your Excellency, how can you know where I am?"
"Fuju, why can't you even hear me looking for a voice. ”
Fuju heard a familiar voice and asked in surprise, "Why are you, Du Chong?" ”
Du Chong said proudly, "Of course it's me, I can't think of it, tell you, I came from the capital to arrest you." ”
Fuju was not worried about his appearance, and said sarcastically, "Yes, that really makes you tired. ”
Du Chong said proudly, "Fuju don't be stubborn, today is not the time to be in the capital, as long as I give an order, you will understand the consequences without me talking." ”
Fuju faced the formation of Zhang Gong and said calmly, "In this way, if I don't stand up today, I won't be able to escape, I won't be able to escape." ”
Du Chong said coldly, "Of course, I will limit you to pay within three minutes, otherwise, I'm sorry, if you don't die, you will become a hedgehog." ”
Fuju knows that no matter what, if you tie your hands, you will die, and if you don't tie your hands, you will die. In the face of the same ending no matter what, this tiger riding situation, he would rather stand vigorously and die than die on his knees in obscurity, and in an instant, he sneered and categorically refused, "Du Chong, don't be delusional, you want me to surrender, unless the sun comes out from the west." ”
"Even if you don't know the current affairs, then die!" With Du Chong's order, immediately, the arrows were like rain, dense, overwhelming, and they flew towards the two of Fuju together.
Fuju and Shijie will not sit still, they immediately pulled back to back, retreated outward, although they were very careful in the action, however, a hundred secrets, Fuju was still hit by a few arrows in his legs, although it was very painful, but he didn't care about cleaning and bandaging, and he didn't work hard, so he rushed out of the encirclement designed by Nadu Chong and rushed outward.
Seeing that both of them were wounded, Nadu Chong would not let them escape, and in an instant, shouting and commanding the archers, chased after them at a gallop.
The two limped, fighting and retreating, and after leaving the Assassin's Mansion, in order to avoid the same fate, and in order to disperse Na Du Chong's forces and facilitate escape, they immediately separated and fled alone.
When Na Du Chong saw that the two were separated, he didn't think too much about it, so he also divided his troops and chased after them.
The words were divided into two ends, but it was said that Fuju endured the pain and limped, walked through the streets and alleys, walked and ran fast for a while, seeing that he could not get rid of the pursuit, and the bow and arrow flew from behind him from time to time, in order to survive, for a moment, he couldn't care much, turned over and jumped into a compound, and rushed to the backyard to hide.
Na Du Chong led the soldiers, and he was in hot pursuit of Fuju, and when he saw him jump into a large courtyard on the side of the street, he hurriedly surrounded this courtyard with a back flower courtyard, and then immediately made people come forward and call the door.
"Open the door, open the door, open the door, open the door quickly, if you don't open the door, Lao Tzu will smash it." ”
"What are you doing, what are you doing," with an answer, a man in his thirties opened the side door while dressing, and asked in surprise in the face of the panting soldiers, "What are you yelling at the third watch in the middle of the night?"
"Hunt for the chin. ”
"What kind of criminal is being searched, this is Lord Li's mansion, there is nothing to criminal, you can search elsewhere. ”
"What Lord Li's mansion, open the door quickly. ”
"This is the residence of Lord Li Hong, the deputy envoy of Jiedu, trespassing is to kill the head, and if you want to enter, you must report it first. ”
"What's wrong with Lord Li's mansion, Lao Tzu is here to arrest the Qin criminals. Run away from the guilty, you can't afford to eat the guilty. The soldiers who called the door did not take him seriously, but they pushed him away, opened the gate, and rushed into the house with the leading procession, and searched house by house.
Although the doorman was angry, but the other party was overwhelmed, and he couldn't help himself, so he turned around and entered the hospital and hurriedly reported to Li Hong.
Li Hong, the deputy envoy of the festival, and his fifth aunt were too chaotic for most of the night, and they were sleeping soundly in their arms, and they were suddenly awakened, and they were annoyed, rubbing their eyes sleepily, and they didn't even get up, so they scolded angrily. "You are on three watches in the middle of the night, shouting, shouting, mourning, and you can't even sleep peacefully. It's really his grandmother's underwhelming. ”
"Master, we came to call you out of necessity, and many soldiers came outside, searching from the front yard to the back yard house by house. ”
"What? Who is so bold that my mansion dares to come in and search it, it's really lawless. Li Hong was taken aback when he heard this, turned over and sat up from the bed, put on his clothes in a panic, and rushed from the backyard to the front yard. When he saw countless soldiers like wolves, regardless of whether there were men or women in the room and whether they got up or not, they rushed in and rummaged through the cabinets and searched around, they exploded and burned the middle cavity of the chest. rushed over, roared, and went to stop it like a thunderbolt on a sunny day. "What are you doing? Stop me. ”
Those soldiers searched for Zhenghuan, and they were taken aback when they heard it, and for a while, they looked at each other, and they didn't know what to do. "What are you doing in a daze, don't search quickly. In order to complete the task, the leader of the team gave an order, and when the soldiers heard the news, they immediately searched for it like wolves and tigers.
Li Hong, who was the deputy envoy of Jiedu, never thought that people would be empty-eyed, and he didn't take himself seriously at all, and that anger and annoyance could not be compared or described. In an instant, evil arose from the side of the guts, anger rose from the heart, and immediately transferred his own pro-army guards, and surrounded all the people in the future. You have to surrender the other party's weapons. The other party was not to be outdone, and he was not ambushed and buried, and the two sides were tense for a while, and they were about to break out.
Just when the search party didn't know how to deal with it, Na Du Chonggang commanded the people to give this Li Mansion to Tuan Tuan. After learning about it suddenly, he sent someone to inform Wang Ban first, and then rushed over in a panic. As soon as they met, they started to ask. "Master Li, what do you mean at this time?"
Li Hong didn't know Du Chong, and said in surprise: "Who are you and what are you doing here?"
In order to resolve the situation as soon as possible, Du Chong replied in a big way, "Lord Li, my surname is Du Mingchong, and I am the minister of the Qin Mission who was sent here by the Holy Relatives to assist Lord Wang Ban Wang in arresting Fuju. ”
Li Hong, who is the deputy envoy of Jiedu, originally thought that after Yang Shihou was transferred this time, he would be able to remove the adverb and become positive, but he never thought that because Wang Ban's was here, he was already resentful of Wang Ban, and now he heard that Du Chong had scared himself in the name of Wang Ban, so he was disdainful of this, and said sneeringly; "It turned out to be the minister of the Qin Mission, fortunately, but I don't know what Lord Du has to do here?"
Seeing that he was arrogant and invincible, Du Chong didn't want to argue with him too much, so he said coldly, "Enter the mansion and arrest Fuju, a fugitive from Qin's life." ”
Li Hongqiang asked: "Could it be that Lord Du said that it is impossible to hide fugitives here? ”
Du Chong hurriedly explained, "Master Li, don't get me wrong, I didn't say that you were hiding fugitives here, we just went into the mansion to search. ”
Li Hong made up the right reason, and immediately snorted: "Yes, even if you just enter the mansion to search, then you should also go into the mansion and report it. ”
Du Chong hurriedly apologized, "Lord Li, the situation is urgent, and you have no choice but to do it, please ask Lord Li to be lenient." ”
Li Hong was extremely angry, annoyed and ashamed; "What is wrong with oneself is clearly that there is no one in his eyes, and he is the only one who respects himself, and he does not take me as the deputy envoy of the festival in his eyes." It's better for you to leave quickly today, otherwise, then don't blame me for being unkind. ”
Seeing that he was about to faint, Du Chong hurriedly persuaded, "Master Li, don't come nonsense, we are ordered to arrest Fuju, a fugitive." ”
Li Hong asked for the last time, "Master Du, are you leaving?"
Du Chong refused to give in, and still persuaded bitterly, "Master Li, you have to be calm. ”
Seeing that he had no intention of going out, Li Hong immediately issued an order to pick people out: "If you don't leave, then I'm not welcome, come and drive him out for me." ”
"Stop. ”
Just when the two sides were at a critical moment, Wang Ban appeared with a loud shout. "Li Hong, what do you want to do?"
Although Li Hong was full of resentment towards Wang Ban in his heart, he didn't dare to show it, and for a while, he didn't know how to distinguish it; "I, Lord Wang, they didn't even say hello, so they forcibly entered my house to search, this is too arbitrary and domineering, right?"
Wang Ban scolded sharply, "What kind of arbitrary, domineering, that is my order, you don't want to help them, but do everything possible to obstruct the search, what are your intentions?"
Li Hong stammered and didn't know what to say, "Lord Wang, I didn't do it on purpose, if they had informed me earlier, I would never have done this, I didn't mean to." ”
The Wang Ban scolded sharply, "Li Hong, you don't need to mess around, the order to assist in the arrest of Fuju was already issued by me the day after Lord Du came, and you are not ignorant, and it is not a reason for you to tell me this and that today. ”
Li Hong faced his rebuke, and for a while, he didn't know what reason to refute and couldn't speak: "Lord Wang, I 、、、、、、 it."
Wang Ban reprimanded angrily, "What are you, I see that you are clearly despising your own officials, if you don't punish you harshly today, others will still treat me as weak and easy to bully, come here, tie up this Li Hong for me, and escort me back." ”
When the guards heard this, they came forward and kidnapped Li Hong, and then escorted him back. In a short time, the news that the newly appointed Shannan Dongdao Jiedu stayed behind Wang Ban and arrested Li Hong, the former deputy envoy of Shannan Dongdao Jiedu, spread in Xiangzhou City, and the trouble was uproaring and everyone knew about it.
When Li Hong's iron buddies all commanded Fu Ba and the others to hear about it, they were shocked, for fear that the Wang class would be harmed, so they hurriedly sought Yang Shihou, the envoy of the original Shannan Dongdao Festival, to ask him to intercede.
Yang Shihou, who was about to take office, was also taken aback when he heard this, and hurriedly went to the Assassin Mansion to find Wang Ban to intercede.
The words were divided into two ends, and said that Du Chong saw that Li Hongzai was taken away without any obstruction, and immediately began to search again, this toss, until dawn, did not find any trace of Fuju, it was strange, and then a second search was carried out, however, it was still fruitless, and he was surprised, and then he carried out a third search, and there was still no gain until noon. When Fuju had already escaped from the Li Mansion, he saw that under the search, he could only work in vain, wasting time and manpower, so he had no choice but to withdraw all the soldiers inside and outside.
The rank will definitely ask Fuju here, in fact, he is still in the Li Mansion and has never left, so why Du Chong has not found him no matter how much he searched, this is very simple, that Fuju is mixed in the family of the Li Mansion, because after Wang Ban arrested Li Hong, all the people in the Li Mansion were disgusted by his behavior, since no one was cooperating with Na Du Chong, and Na Du Chong did not know how many family members in the Li Mansion, and when Fuju did not know them, he would never dare to be wrapped up with the Li Mansion family, and he had never carefully inspected the Li family members who were locked in the hall, so he searched three times in a row, and did not find Fuju。 He was surprised by his surprise. And Nafuju not only took advantage of the chaos to change his original clothes, but also cleverly changed his clothes, so that others could not recognize himself from his face. Mixed with the family of the Li Mansion, he didn't say much, he didn't say much, and the family of the Li Mansion was still an outsider who was still caught by the soldiers, and he was fine.
Facing the streets and alleys, the soldiers were still searching everywhere, knowing that the city had stopped staying, so he limped through the alleys and alleys and walked to the west gate. And it didn't take long for him to get there, and when he saw the inspection of the people who went out of the city at the city gate, and it was strict and strict, he couldn't help but be afraid for a while, because if his body was found now, it would be difficult for him to escape, what should he do, just when he was worried and at a loss, a "tick-tick" musical instrument sound, accompanied by the cry of "whimpering" came into his ears, and he looked for the sound. When he saw those weeping people wearing linen and filial piety about to go out of the city to bury people, he was worried and immediately took it to heart, tore off a foot of white cloth from his underwear, wrapped it around his head, and took advantage of the unpreparedness of the people to get up and join the group of funeral processions, and walked towards the city gate in a hurry. His participation did not attract the attention and suspicion of others, and even the real mourners did not find out, because this was a funeral, and besides, who would find themselves unlucky. The funeral procession soon arrived at the city gate, but was immediately intercepted by the officers and soldiers stationed here at the city gate, and stopped for a while, and the old man in charge hurriedly stepped forward to talk.
"Master Jun, what's the matter?"
The officer who was stationed here was surnamed Wang Mingqiu and Li Hong's child's uncle, a greedy and lustful man, who was consciously unlucky in the face of the funeral, because he was already angry because his brother-in-law was arrested, and he was powerless in the face of anger; ”
"Master Jun, this is a white matter for us, unlucky, you are accommodating, accommodating. When the old man heard this, he hurriedly ran over and sent the money for the joints on the road that had been prepared.
Money talks. The officer Wang Qiu took the money and weighed it twice with his hand, but he didn't bother to check it because he was unlucky, so he let him go and let him pass quickly.
Immediately, the paused instrument sounded again, and the procession began to move forward again, and just as they were about to enter the city gate, an officer named Zuo Feng led a soldier to stop their path. And shouted loudly and asked the officer on duty at the city gate. "Wang Qiu, have you carefully checked all these people?"
The king had nothing to say, and it was inappropriate to question him, and said coldly, "It's all been carefully checked, Lord Zuo, what's wrong?"
Zuo Feng asked in disbelief, "Have you really double-checked?"
The king saw that it was as big as his official position, and he didn't put it in his eyes, and in an instant, his face had no good face, and he didn't have a good air; "Of course, I have checked it carefully, if you want to doubt it, can you check it yourself?"
"Wang Qiu, just now I had the audacity to see that you didn't even look at them, so I let them go, and now you still stubbornly say that you have checked, you know, although our Xiangzhou City has as many as six gates, but only Ximen Nafuju can survive after escaping, and now if you don't check carefully, let it escape, you can't afford it." Come on, take them one by one and examine them carefully. Zuo Feng reprimanded sharply, and then ordered his soldiers to come forward and check on them.
Let's say that Fuju thought that he was about to leave the city, but he never thought that there would be extraneous branches, and in the face of the inspection that came from behind him, approaching him step by step, he knew that if he didn't get out as soon as possible, he would definitely die, but it was impossible for him to leave the team in the midst of the heavy surrounding. When he was in danger, he suddenly found that when Zuo Feng hit the horse from the front, he couldn't manage so much without a move, and said that it was too late, then fast, jumped up, took it by surprise, attacked it unprepared, and knocked Zuo Feng off the horse with a punch, and then, flew on the horse, turned around the horse, and ran out of the city.
Those who were searching did not expect such a thing to happen, and they were stunned for a moment, and immediately reflected it, and then shouted and chased out of the city, however, how could two human legs catch up with a four-legged horse, and when they chased out of the city, there was no back of Fuju outside, and after a period of chasing and searching to no avail, they had no choice but to hang their heads and turn back to the city.
said that Zuo Feng was rescued from the ground by his subordinates and stood up, and he was furious, "Okay, you Wang Qiu, you are so bold and confused, today, I have to make you look good." As he spoke, he got up and went to Wang Ban to report.
When the king saw it, although he was not particularly scared in his heart, he was not as arrogant as he was just now, and hurriedly stepped forward to explain, "Lord Zuo, I didn't think of this, and I didn't know about it. ”
"You don't know, so just wait, I'll let you know. The extremely angry Zuo Feng was willing to spare him, and he didn't even turn around and look back at him, so he angrily rushed to report to Wang Ban.
After Wang Bangang let Li Hong go after Yang Shihou's intercession and sent Yang Shihou away, he was about to lie down and rest in the middle of the night, when he suddenly heard that Wang Qiu, the guard stationed at the West City Gate, was derelict in his duties and did things passively so that when Fuju escaped from Xiangzhou City, he was even more angry and even more angry and even his liver and lungs, and burned his chest and cavity. He immediately ordered his subordinates to arrest the king, and without even asking what the reason was, he immediately pushed out the noon gate, and was to be beheaded in a few moments.
The news that the king begged to be beheaded left without a shin and disappeared, and in a short time, the streets and alleys of Xiangyang City were spread.
After Li Hong was put back by Wang Ban, he was at home to thank Fu Ba and a group of people for their rescue, and put on a banquet, when he heard his brother-in-law Wang begging for this, he was taken aback, knowing the seriousness of the matter, he did not dare to delay, he was afraid that he would not be able to rescue his brother-in-law Wang Qiu alone, so he pulled this class of brothers who had a deep relationship with him, and went to the church to rescue.
Let's say that the king was so frightened that his soul was scattered, his face was like earth, and for a while he cried to Wang Ban as if he was crying for his father and calling his mother, and begged Wang Ban; "My lord, please, you can't kill me, I don't dare to kill me from now on, you can't kill me." ”
The furious Wang Ban sat firmly on the prison platform, and he couldn't wait to swallow him in one bite, and asked angrily, "Why can't Wang Qiu kill you, what else do you have to say, tell it all now." Half an hour later, and you won't have a chance to speak. ”
Wang Qiu wept and said, "Lord Wang, they did not come out of the funeral today, and they did not know each other, so how could I know that the blessed house dared to hide in it." ”
Wang Ban reprimanded angrily, "You don't know, then what kind of food I sent you to do there, you didn't send someone to check and don't say anything, but neglected your duties and accepted bribes, how can I spare you, you die." ”
"Lord Wang, please keep someone under the knife. ”
Just as Wang Ban was preparing to be executed, a shout came from the audience, and he saw a large group of officers headed by Li Hong and Fu Ba "huhula la" and walked up to the prison beheading platform, kneeling in front of him in unison to beg for mercy.
"Li Hong, what are you doing here?"
Li Hong pleaded and said, "Lord Wang, please let this Wang Qiu go, although he is wrong, but the crime does not deserve this death penalty, take a step back, even if you kill him, the Fuju will not be able to be caught, it is better to give him a chance to atone for his sins, let him arrest Fuju, that will not only fulfill the wish of Lord Wang, but also forgive this Wang Qiu, please think twice." ”
In the face of his plea, Wang Ban decided to kill him as an example, and he was not moved, not only did he not want to pardon him, but also wanted to kill him immediately, however, before he could pass the order to immediately execute, Fu Ba and other officers opened their mouths and pleaded in unison.
"Please, Lord Wang, be merciful, forgive the king and let him go, we can use our lives to guarantee that such a thing will never happen in the future. ”
That Wang Ban faced the pleas of the officers, for a while, he was a little hesitant, don't let it go, he has just sat on the Jiedu envoy for only a few days, and he knows that if he offends so many people, his life in Xiangzhou City will definitely be difficult in the future. Let it go, this Wang Qiu is really angry, and he can really kill but not stay, if he is serious and responsible, this time it will be done. Faced with these two dilemmas, it was difficult for him to conclude for a while.
Seeing that he was preoccupied, Na Du Chong hesitated, and hurriedly stepped forward to persuade, "Lord Wang, it's okay to let him go, you can punish him." ”
A word reminded the dreamer, that Wang Ban woke up when he heard this, and in an instant, he said coldly, "It's okay to let him go, but the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime is unforgivable, come, give me three hundred military sticks to show warning." ”
Three hundred military sticks came down, and the king was beaten to the point that his skin was opened, dead and alive, and he was so weak that he was powerless, and although he thanked him for not killing in person, his heart was full of hatred.
In the future, if there are those who neglect their duties, accept bribes, are greedy for money and lustful, lawless, and disobey and do not carry out military orders, they will not be spared.
After hearing this, the officers faced Wang Ban's more solemn measures than before, and although they didn't say anything in their mouths, they each played a little Jiujiu in their hearts. Then he did as he was told.
Press the officer to continue to follow the order to find and arrest Fuju not to say, turned back to say that Guo Shijie broke up with Fuju in the escape, he was not injured except for the arrow in his arm, and saw that there were very few soldiers chasing him during the escape, so he didn't take it seriously, and ran away for a while, and after the sharp arrow on his arm, he gritted his teeth and pulled it out, and then went back to the inn. Although the inn was inspected many times, it did not attract the attention of the officers and soldiers because it was not a Fuju, and when he learned that Fuju had fled the city, he immediately went out of the city the next day to look for Fuju. When he found a blessed residence in a temple after searching for most of the day, the two were happy, asked each other, and saw that there was nothing big to worry about, and then they discussed and decided to recuperate from their injuries, and then look for Wang Banhou, while recuperating from their injuries, they always paid attention to the movements of Xiangyang City, waiting for the best opportunity.
As the saying goes, opportunity is always looking for people who are prepared, and before they can take action, Xiangyang City will be in turmoil.
This is exactly the praying mantis catching cicadas, and the yellow finch is behind. If you want to know how Fuju lives and dies, please pay attention to the next time.
