225 The second prince fled to the kingdom of Yelu
"Are there many old people like you who have sons who are soldiers in the barracks?" Yang Liu asked.
"There are quite a few, and there are many of them, all of them are hungry and afraid, thinking that they will not starve to death if they become soldiers."
"Old man, since you know that those people are not good people and are criminals of the imperial court, where do you still want your son to be a soldier?" Yang Liu asked again.
"Little girl, I don't want my son to be a soldier for a long time, but how can I sue them?" The old man said helplessly.
"I have my own way for the old man, you can help me gather the old man who has a son who is a soldier, and say that I have something to discuss with them." Yang Liu said.
After the old man gathered all the people, Yang Liu looked at the number of people who were not less than 100 people, so he brought the rice noodles and let people boil porridge and distribute them to everyone first, and after everyone had eaten, Yang Liu said to everyone: "Folks, I was sent by the emperor to rescue everyone, and the people who lived in the prefect's yamen were sent before, and they had been sentenced to punish them because they had embezzled 10 million taels of disaster relief funds, and the emperor had ordered me to arrest them, and at the same time recover the disaster relief funds to help the people." β
"I just said they don't look like good people. Little girl, we don't want our son to be a soldier in a rebel camp somewhere. Do you think there's a way to get them back? β
"There is a way, so you have to cooperate with me, tomorrow you all go to the fields outside the village, and we will go together to call the battle. When your son comes out, tell him what I have told you, and persuade them to abandon darkness and turn to light. Do you like it? β
"Okay, little girl, we'll do whatever you say. As long as I don't let my son go to jail, I can do anything. β
Seeing that it was not too early, Yang Liu said to the villagers: "I will wait for you in the field tomorrow, and your son's life will be in your hands." I'll go back and get ready, so you should go back and rest early! After speaking, he walked out of the old man's door first.
After Yang Liu responded, he told Commander Lu about his plan, and Commander Lu said with a smile: "It's still Miss Liu's thoughtfulness, we people only know how to work hard, and we are all simple-minded and well-developed. β
"After winning the award, I think we should prepare for tomorrow's battle! Let the people do the ideological work of their sons first, and after loosening, we will capture the prefect's mansion and capture Haolin alive. β
The officers and men of the two orders were ready for tomorrow's battle. I rested early.
The next day, the officers and men had just finished eating. I saw hundreds of people coming to the barracks to look for Yang Liu, and Yang Liu heard that the people had come, so he hurriedly came out to greet them. The people were settled with the belt. Yang Liu said to the road commander, "Commander." Now that the people have come. I think we'll go! β
Commander Lu and Yang Liu led a team of people and those ordinary people to the General's Mansion, and when they arrived at the gate of the General's Mansion, Yang Liu asked those old people to persuade their sons outside one after another.
It was quiet in the prefect's mansion all morning, and Yang Liu had to be suspicious. Is this a short mansion, if it is really like that, who will show it to this one that he has painstakingly designed?
At noon, Yang Liu had to order someone to set up a marching pot and start cooking, and as soon as everyone finished eating, they listened to the chaotic sound in the prefect's mansion, and after a while, the door of the mansion was opened, and a team of people rushed out from inside, and the leader also waved a white flag, and saw that it was the white flag Yang Liu relaxed a lot.
However, the commander of the road did not dare to be careless, and hurriedly told the soldiers to prepare for battle, and then he heard an old man shout: "It's them, they came out, look at my son." β
At this time, a group of people behind them walked behind, and one of the old men said, "Isn't that the prefect?" Look, they helped the prefect. β
Yang Liu didn't see the second prince Haolin, she hurriedly intercepted the group of people and asked, "What about the second prince?" Where is the second prince, why didn't you tie him up. β
Several soldiers shook their heads, indicating that they didn't know, and one of them said, "We haven't seen the second prince for a few days, you go and ask Governor Yang, maybe he knows where he went." After speaking, he pointed to the few people tied up behind him.
Yang Liu ran to a few people who were tied up and asked, "Which of you is Governor Yang?" β
One of them asked the person dressed in the official mansion and said timidly: "The lower official is." β
"You are, okay, let me ask you, you have to answer truthfully, what you answer is the truth, your crime can be reduced, otherwise you will be beheaded on the spot."
"Okay, I said that the night they left, I hid behind the door and heard the second prince say that he was going to Yelu to develop his strength, and when he had the strength, he would come back and seize the throne."
Yang Liu asked again: "Then how many days have they been gone?" β
"It's been three days!" Governor Yang replied.
Yang Liu asked: "Commander Lu, can you still catch up?" β
"I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up!" Commander Lu said.
"If we can't catch up, we have to catch up, and we must find out if he really went to Yelu to rest assured." Yang Liu said firmly.
"Then who am I going to chase after them?" Commander Lu asked.
"Go back and get back to your life! I'll take my men and horses to chase after it. By the way, remember to bring these people back and let the emperor fall. After speaking, he pointed to Yang Zhifu and others.
After the road commander led the people away, Yang Liu found the villagers, and they selected a trustworthy person to preside over the distribution of the grain, gold and silver in the prefect's yamen to the nearby villagers to survive the famine. He took the people he brought all the way to chase the second prince.
Yang Liu and the others inquired about the whereabouts of the second prince while walking, and when Yang Liu came, Yun Xi was afraid that he didn't know the second prince, so he asked the prince to ask someone to draw a portrait of the second prince and gave it to her, and it was with the portrait of the second prince that Yang Liu and the others chased all the way to the border of Yelu Kingdom. After confirming that the second prince had fled to Yelu Kingdom, Yang Liu returned to Kyoto with peace of mind.
After returning to the garment workshop, Yang Liu directly asked Yun Xi to tell him about the second prince's escape to Yelu Kingdom, Yun Xi looked at Yang Liu and asked, "Can you be sure that he has indeed finished Yelu Kingdom?" β
"It's true, I don't worry about chasing all the way, although I didn't catch up with his people, but I took the portrait all the way to confirm, and chased it all the way to the border of Yelu Kingdom, and even a family on the border We inquired about the second prince did cross the border and entered Yelu Kingdom."
"Then I'll rest assured, just now the prince wrote a letter saying that the enthronement ceremony will be held tomorrow, and I'm afraid that something will go wrong. This time I was relieved. I'll send someone to the palace to deliver the letter in a while, there's nothing else to do, you can go back and have a good rest!" Yun Xi said reassuringly.
