Chapter 238: Into the Urn 4

From Liu Yu's sudden appearance, to the menacing army, and the terrifying beasts, these people in the city can be described as a roller coaster playing a heartbeat. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info At the most thrilling moment, the families at the head of the city have been frightened and fled in all directions, the whole city wall is in an undefended state, people can climb it as long as they lift their feet, but they give up because they have no tools, so that they are both happy and panicked, and they don't know if there will be such good luck next time.

And Qiu Zi really entered the city, which exacerbated the development of this change, what his people would do when they came in, anyone with a normal mind knew it, but whether to do what the other party said or not became the focus of discussion among the other people, but what they didn't expect was that the former did not discuss these with them at all, but raised an unexpected question.

"What about Director Li of Ji Yi Division, what happened to him?"

He was in the lobby of an inn in the city, and in it lived the civil servants who had been rescued from the inner city stable, because the place was spacious enough to accommodate all the people, and at this time, several factions of people sat in several piles, filling the whole inn, and the street was blocked outside the door, isolating the people who were watching the bustle.

This trip as a messenger, there is really no more suitable person than him, first of all, he is a civil official, and the identity here is similar, and secondly, he participated in the battle of Yongzhou, and is familiar with people outside the city, as a communicator between the two sides, it is easier to get recognition, and it is easy to discuss what is not clear, but the first question of the other party makes them confused, which is clearly the rhythm of Xingshi's questioning.

Right now, everyone is still immersed in the previous scene, and the main master they have been waiting for for a long time finally appeared, but they didn't expect it to appear like this, and they didn't even say a word, they just started a war immediately if they didn't agree with each other, so how can they talk about it?

And the people at the table sitting in the lobby, who were the leaders of this group, glanced at each other, and they all saw a kind of happiness in each other's eyes, no matter what the purpose of his coming was, it showed that the new commander under the city was very fond of this Li Chief, and clearly regarded it as a premise for whether they could talk about it.

"Qiu Fujun, fortunately, can you sit down and talk." One of the men invited loudly, he recognized it as Leizhou Shouyu Yinglong, but he didn't take it big, walked over and sat on a round stool at the table.

"This matter is explained by Fu Shuai himself, if he is still alive, everything is easy to say, if he unfortunately dies, then the official can only go back, you can ask for more blessings."

As soon as Qiu Zizhen sat down, he didn't wait for the other party to open his mouth to introduce the people at the table to him one by one, so he told the matter again, and this time, the attitude was very clear, it was indeed what they guessed, Yu Yinglong had been detained before, and he didn't know what was in charge of Li at all, so he could only ask for help from others.

"Don't worry, Director Li is fine, and he is in the prison of the Punishment Division of this official." As a last resort, Zhong Dao could only carry the pot, and seeing that he was a little worried, he explained: "It's just detention, there is no mistreatment, if you don't believe it, you can take a look in person." ”

"Zhong Xian, everyone, forgive me for being rude, but now that time is pressing, I really can't ignore it, this Director Li is Fu Shuai's confidant, and he is also an official of the imperial court, his position is not high, but it is approved by the Empress Dowager's personal decree, saying that he is 'loyal and brave', think about it, if something happens to such a person in this city, even if Fu Shuai wants to let it go, how can you explain to the imperial court?"

Qiu Zizhen bowed his hand to them, which was regarded as making up for the previous number of courtesies, and when he finished speaking, these people at the table understood that things were not as simple as they thought, a Chengxinlang from the ninth grade, in the Great Song Dynasty, there were not 10,000 but 8,000, but which one could get the empress dowager's personal decree? That can only show that this person has made great merits, and he is not an ordinary kind, otherwise he would not have been able to enter the forbidden middle school at all and present it to the saint's desk.

Let's not talk about the stories behind these backgrounds, now their actions are all known to this person, so the report sent to the capital, there must be some rhetoric, several people can't help but look at each other, who knows that a seemingly inconspicuous character, there will be a background through the sky?

Zhong Dao looked left and right, and still had to speak by himself: "But I don't know what kind of charter Liu Shuai is, can you make it clear?" ”

As soon as these words came out, all the people in the inn lobby turned over, staring at the table with their eyes, Qiu Zizhen swept around, these people had various expressions on their faces, but most of them still had hope, I have to say, no matter how they talk on weekdays, when the war is approaching, they know that it is not a trick, it will kill people, but who can blame it?

"Liu Shuai, just let this official come to see Director Li, and by the way, ask you what kind of charter you are, why can't he, a road minister and prefect, enter his own mansion? How long will you have to close the city, you might as well set a date, and he should make it clear to the court, otherwise outsiders will think that something has happened on Guangxi Road. With that, he sat down, picked up a cup of tea on the table, and savored it.

His voice was not small, everyone heard it clearly, and the audience was in an uproar, even the old man who was a little wooden before, was surprised, if what he brought was really Liu Yu's original words, this was clearly a step.

Things have developed to this day, in fact, all aspects are a little out of control, can the bottom still achieve the previous goal, no one can still be full of confidence, if it can really be as the other party said, it is not a road, but that means that everything is done in vain, will things be so simple?

All conspiracy theorists will not use conspiracy to speculate on others, and the army outside the city does not look like it can rest in any case, facing everyone's doubts or relief, or confused speculation, Yu Yinglong, who is closest to him, approached him and asked softly.

"Is Master Li intact, and when we open the city gate, Liu Shuai will not be to blame for the past?"

"How is that possible, the matter has already happened, naturally there must be an explanation, how to say that with the court, you can all go to the book, but the one who started the crime, he is not guilty?" Qiu Zizhen shook his head, took the lid and scooped it into the cup, brushing aside the foam on the top layer, revealing the clear tea soup below.

Although his voice was not as high as before, it could still be heard by those who were careful, and some of them immediately changed their faces, and the meaning of this could not be understood any longer, and the conditions for ending this matter were three things.

The first is to release all the detainees, including Li Shiyi, the second is to open the city gates and hand over the city defenses, and the third and most important point is to punish the perpetrators.

In this way, the people present are divided into two categories, one is the one who can write to the court, that is, the officials, and the other is naturally the squire who has no right to defend himself.

It's too vicious, first it gives people a hope, and then a few words break people's illusions, and even provoke the contradictions between the two sides, the current situation, even if they explain that they don't have this intention, who can believe it, who dares to believe it? It's a terrible thing.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you have to discuss it first, and you have to send someone to take a trip to the Constitutional Division, whether it is right or not, you have to take a look at it to know, forgive me."

Qiu Zi really achieved his goal, and he was no longer verbose, put the tea cup that he had only drunk on the table, stood up and arched his hand, everything that should be said was finished, several people knew that this was the time for themselves to dispose of, and they would no longer force it to stay, but this candidate for guidance could only be picked from Zhong Dao's entourage, and others could not enter.

Exiting from the inn, in addition to the constitutional official who led the way for him, there was also a send-off, which he did not expect.

"To be honest, does Liu Ziqing not want to let go of these people?"

For this old handsome, he still has some respect, and he can't even figure out what the other party is doing this.

"Deng Shuai, Xia Guan came from Yongzhou, and saw with his own eyes the military situation of the Yuan people, and how tragic the situation was, Liu Shuai did this, not because he was cowardly, but because he didn't want the people of Guangxi Road to repeat the mistakes of more than ten years ago, otherwise why would he bother to do such a thing?"

What Deng Deyu didn't expect was that Qiu Zizhen had some answers to the question, but he still heard the meaning of the other party's words, more than ten years ago, the Yuan people invaded Guangxi from Dali, and penetrated Yong, Liu and other prefectures all the way, until the city of Jingjiang Mansion did not stop, and after many attacks, they went up along the Xiangshui River, running through the entire Jinghu South Road, and returned to their starting place.

What happened to the people during this time? As his successor to Lu Chen, how could he not know that those who did not flee into Jingjiang City were either poisoned or displaced, and the strategy adopted by the Song army at that time was to resist step by step, especially in several fortified cities, but this approach was exactly what Liu Yu did not take, he did not want these cities, but also evacuated the people to ensure that they were away from the war.

"Is that really the only way to go?"

Looking at the other party's sideburns and white hair, Qiu Zizhen couldn't help but sigh: "Whether this method is the only one I don't know, but the lower officials have determined that Liu Shuai is the only hope on Guangxi Road." ”

With that, he took his leave, and Deng Deyu looked at their distant backs, and his heart was mixed, for those insistences slowly began to waver, although he never thought he had done anything wrong.

In the lobby of the inn, the officials and the squires have already quarreled, and no one wants to be the scapegoat, and it is clear that under the system of the Great Song Dynasty, the officials have more right to speak, for them, as long as they can maintain their power, it is not unacceptable to sacrifice some rich landowners, so that the smell of gunpowder on both sides is getting stronger and stronger.

After all, the latter controlled most of the power in the city, how could he be willing to be captured? The two sides could not get along, so they could only part ways, no matter what the final result was, at least Liu Yu's purpose of sending people in had been achieved, and their split was something that people outside the city were happy to see.

After the squires parted with the civil officials in the inn, they regathered in the Yueyue Tower, everyone's face was not very good, and there was no other way for a while but to look at the leaders.

"Gong Li, what should I do?"

"Want to cross the river and tear down the bridge? You must know that we are not at the mercy of others, and now I am afraid that there is only one way to go. ”

Li said predictably, the horizontal flesh on his face kept shaking, showing a hideous expression, which made people shudder.
