Volume 1 Dongchang Yan (Sweet Pet) Chapter 63 Killing the Governor in Anger
Returning to the Overseer's house, Lu Rong, the head of the second block, closed the door and said impatiently:
"Overseer, the guy surnamed Liu at the dinner table is too arrogant, why don't you let me teach that reckless man a hard lesson?!"
Leng Qingtang shook his head slightly, and said in a deep voice:
"Liu Biao once served as a staff leader under the command of the God King, and he was not in a hurry to deal with him. Ai Qing, what did you find? ”
The big stop head replied:
"Sure enough, as the governor expected, the granaries of the Taishou Mansion were all underground, and eight out of ten were full. The victims outside the city were so hungry that they picked up the snow, and this dog official was not only willing to open a warehouse to release grain, but also had fun in his own house! ”
Leng Qingtang slammed his iron fist on the table, and the teacup spilled.
He was so angry that his voice trembled, and he commanded sharply:
"Bring that dog official Guo Taishou to the governor—"
Soon, Zao Wou-Ki, the head of the third block, escorted Guo Taishou over.
The moment his legs stepped into the threshold, Guo Taishou was so frightened that his body was like soft mud, and he knelt down in front of Leng Qingtang's eyes.
"The Overseer spares his life, and the Leng Overseer spares his life......"
"You dog! The victims outside the city are like locusts, there are people who freeze to death and starve to death every time, and there is still food in the Taishou Mansion, but you not only refuse to open a warehouse, but you still have the face to hide in the official residence and spend all day drinking, where do you want to put the governor? Where do you place the Emperor's Grace—"
Leng Qingtang reprimanded Guo Taishou, his eyes were rolling with heavy anger, and his voice was fierce and threatening.
Beside him, the three heads stood upright, their arms around and stared at Guo Taishou coldly, like the angry protector in the temple, who would shoot to kill all evil at any time.
Guo Taishou trembled like a sifting chaff, barely supported his body, and bowed his hand to Leng Qingtang on the seat again and again:
"The overseer calmed his anger and allowed the subordinate officials to communicate to the overseer. At the beginning, the lower officials united with several squires in Fengyuan to raise grain and open porridge sheds. When the victims of the disaster in various counties heard this, they poured into Fengyuan to receive grain, and riots occurred.
After that, Governor Liu led the garrison into Fengyuan to quell the rebellion, and issued a military order to close the city gate and prevent outsiders from entering the city again. Now the grain stored in the granary in the mansion is almost all the relief grain brought by Governor Liu. He didn't ask the subordinate to open a position, and the subordinate really didn't dare to disobey the military order, and he hoped that the governor would spare the subordinate official's crime......"
Mrs. Guo kept her words here, and she was so choked that she couldn't continue any longer.
"This governor asks you again, there are groups of dancing girls in your house, and you are playing silk and bamboo all the time, what do you mean——"
While Leng Qingtang questioned fiercely, the iron palm fell on the table again.
Guo Taishou was so frightened that his body shrunk into a ball, and he couldn't help buttoning his head:
"The Overseer spares his life! The Overseer spares his life! At the beginning of the White Plague, Xia Guan and his family members stayed awake day and night, taking turns to make porridge in various streets of Fengyuan to appease the victims, where was they still in the mood to enjoy. It's just that Inspector Liu is a troubled master, stationed in the official residence of the lower officials, and every meal must have wine and meat, as well as singing and dancing.
is also because he followed the God King in his early years to fight in the south and the north, and he always showed off with it. The official position is humble, and he has a high hall and a wife and children, so he really doesn't dare to offend him! ”
"Overseer, it's true."
Ai Qing, the big blocker, bent down to Leng Qingtang's ear at this time, and whispered back:
"Just now, my subordinates heard the people in this mansion talk about it, saying that Inspector Liu is a drunken man. Yesterday, I fell in love with the twelve-year-old maid in the Taiwei Mansion, and forced her to the firewood room to forcibly occupy her body, and the whole house dared to be angry with him. ”
Leng Qingtang's chest was dull when he heard this, and the rolling anger was about to erupt.
For many years, he had never had such a strong anger as today, and he unconsciously bit his mouth full of silver teeth:
"It's just a bandit and a bandit—"
Turning his eyes to look at Guo Taishou who was prostrate on the ground, Leng Qingtang reprimanded stiffly:
"As the head of a county, you are the parent official of Li Min, how can you be so cowardly? Even the people in the house can't protect it, how can they protect the people of Manchu County?! ”
"The Overseer spares his life! Spare your life—"
Guo Taishou was scolded by him until he sobbed, and kowtowed again and again.
At this time, a fan guard walked in quickly, bowed down, and bowed:
"Enlighten the Governor, the plague people outside the city have gathered and rioted, and the gates of the city are about to be breached by them. Governor Liu ordered people to set up bows and arrows on the city wall, ready to release arrows at the victims outside the city! ”
"Bastard! It's just not enough to succeed, more than enough to lose—"
Leng Qingtang looked furious, shouted, and led Guo Taishou and the people from Dongchang to rush to the place of the accident.
I saw that the gate of Fengyuan City was closed, and the door was nailed with heavy overlapping thick wooden planks. On the other side of the door, there was a violent thump over and over again.
Across the city wall, Leng Qingtang heard a deafening shout outside, and the momentum was not inferior to the Shura Field where the two armies were fighting.
The walls were lit with fire, and the archers had already reached the bottom of the walls with their bows, and the sharp arrows were shining in the firelight.
The fat-headed and big-eared Lieutenant Liu was shouting to the city at this time:
"Ignorant and stupid people, if you are more presumptuous, this army will release arrows!"
There was a wave of anger in the city, and the momentum was so loud that it was impossible to hear what the victims were scolding.
"Shoot the arrows!"
Lieutenant Liu was furious and ordered an archer to release the arrow.
"Stop!" Leng Qingtang arrived in time and stopped it.
"Captain Liu, what do you want to do!"
Seeing that it was the Admiral of Dongchang who came to the city, Inspector Liu sneered disdainfully:
"Can't you see it, Lord Overseer? If the people riot, it is difficult to quell the riots if they do not kill the chickens and set an example for the monkeys. ”
Leng Qingtang looked down on the city wall, and the black pressure of the people below was crowded, like a roaring ocean, and their faces were hideous.
In the cold season of deep winter, the turbidity outside the city spread to the sky, and with the roar of everyone, Leng Qingtang was dizzy, shocked and heartbroken.
"The archers stand back, and the violators are beheaded!"
Leng Qingtang commanded loudly, and the decisive voice floated in the deep winter night, and it was even more cold without a trace of temperature.
The archers were suppressed by the awe-inspiring and resolute momentum of the Qin Cha, and they collected their bows and arrows one after another.
But their governor was also in the city at the moment, and the atmosphere was awkward for a moment, and the archers looked at each other and were at a loss.
"No withdrawal! No withdrawal! ”
Seeing this, Inspector Liu's eyes turned red and rushed up in a few steps. Zao Wou-ki, the head of the third block, feared that he would be detrimental to the Overseer, so he stood up to block him and forbade him to approach the Overseer again.
"Brush lala"——
The guards and officers and soldiers of the East Factory were all eager to try with weapons in hand, and they saw that the city was about to be chaotic first.
Guo Taishou arched his hand, and then shook Leng Qingtang and then to Inspector Liu:
"The two adults have something to say! There's something to say! ”
Lieutenant Liu snatched the bow and arrow from an archer and aimed it at the city.
The cold light flew through the sky, and it was a person in the middle of the city. There was silence for a moment, and then a cry of rage broke out even more angrily than before.
Lieutenant Liu threw his bow and arrow, as if provocative, and smiled insolently at Leng Qingtang.
Leng Qingtang watched as the sharp arrow shot out, but he didn't have time to stop it.
He has also killed people, countless souls under the sword, but he has never killed a single citizen.
The people of the city were not at fault, just to fill their stomachs, just to keep their families from the cold, thousands of displaced strangers gathered here to unite and pound the thick city gate with murderous vigour, completely ignoring the consequences.
The iron fist slammed into the rough wall, leaving his hands to suffer with a dull pain.
Leng Qingtang has always been able to control his emotions, and he has always been moody in officialdom. At this moment, he no longer wanted to suppress the fire tumbling in his chest, and pointed at the city and scolded Inspector Liu:
"Bastard thing! Outside the city are displaced people, who have acted excessively, but only for a place to live, enough rice to feed their stomachs! Guo Taishou, this governor orders you at this moment to call the city gate and let the disaster victims into the city! ”
"Don't—"
Captain Liu raised one arm and signaled his objection.
was insulted in public by a eunuch, and he was not convinced. Now listening to his order to call the city gate, he stepped forward and straightened his neck, and said disdainfully:
"Lord Leng, you are used to being pampered in the deep palace, and the reason we lead the march is very different from the reason you commanded the Jinyi Guard.
Now the people are rioting, and we are like enemies on the battlefield. These Diao people don't know whether they live or die, and they saved a lot of food by killing them all! ”
"Hmph, according to Ben Du's opinion, killing you Governor Liu is the most food-saving! Take him down—"
The overseer sneered, and with an order, the second and third heads went up together, and within three or two strokes, the fat bear-like Governor Liu was caught at the feet of Leng Qingtang.
Everyone watched, and a trace of fear rose in Inspector Liu's heart, but he refused to give in, and roared:
"Leng Qingtang, you eunuchs in the palace dare to point fingers at this army! This army is a person of the god king, and if you dare to be disrespectful to this army, you are disrespectful to the god king and the concubine of the ten thousand emperors-"
"Governor, please think twice......"
Guo Taishou leaned over and pleaded for the officer.
No matter how powerful the governor of Dongchang is in the court, he is also a passing Qincha, and he will return to the capital after the disaster relief mission is completed, and he has no contact with Fengyuan City since then.
And Lieutenant Liu is an officer stationed in Jiang'an, and even if his powerful rank is not as good as that of Admiral Dongchang, he is also a figure that local officials dare not provoke.
He really has three longs and two shorts, and when Dongchang Qincha leaves Fengyuan, all the black cauldrons are not going to be thrown to him, the Taishou of Fengyuan County, to carry it!
Guo Taishou had just pleaded with Leng Qingtang when he was slapped in the face.
The martial arts practitioner had a strong palm, and Leng Qingtang only used three points of strength, but it was enough to knock that Taishou to the ground and roll a few times. He staggered to his feet, his mouth covered in blood, and his jaw nearly dislocated.
Leng Qingtang pointed directly at Guo Taishou, and scolded like thunder:
"You cowardly and incompetent, in order to protect yourself, you have abandoned the lives and deaths of the people, and you have become a court official in vain——"
Xu was shocked by the thrilling scene in the city, and the city suddenly fell silent.
Captain Liu was forced to kneel on the ground, constantly struggling and roaring:
"Leng Qingtang, how dare you eunuch take me?! This army marched north and south with the god king, and made countless military exploits, even Dali Temple did not dare to take grandpa! What kind of thing are you Dongchang, you dare to cure your grandfather's sin with a slave from the palace, it's ridiculous, hahaha-"
Guo Taishou hurriedly stopped, his face was difficult, and he said continuously:
"The Overseer is angry! The Overseer is angry! Think twice about this! The Governor is a third-grade official in the army, and how to deal with it should indeed be decided by the Ministry of War and Dali Temple......"
In fact, everyone has a detailed number in their hearts, because Inspector Liu followed the "God King" Wan Guozhang in his early years, the military department can't do anything to him at all, even if it is handed over to Dali Temple in the end, then Dali Temple Qing may not dare to condemn him according to the law.
"Humph! The governor of Dali Temple does not dare to take care of it, and the governor of Dali Temple does not dare to kill it! ”
Leng Qingtang squinted at Guo Taishou, and his squinted phoenix eyes floated with murderous intentions.
Guo Taishou was stared at by his fierce eyes, and suddenly felt that his tongue seemed to be knotted in his mouth, and he couldn't spit out a word anymore.
Ai Qing, the head of the big block, approached the Overseer, his sword in his hand.
Leng Qingtang turned around, glanced at Lieutenant Liu, who was captured with a light expression, raised his head and added leisurely:
"You ask me what is the East Factory? Listen, others don't dare to take care of your Dongchang management, others don't dare to kill you Dongchang to kill! Imperial power concession, first cut and then play, this is the East Factory! Is that clear enough? ”
As soon as the words fell, Leng Qingtang had already pulled out a soldier's waist knife, and his arm was raised suddenly. The light and cold swept over the city walls, and the blood poured into it.
Glancing at the head of the person rolling on the ground, Leng Qingtang chuckled and threw the knife:
"Kill you, Bendu is disgusted with his sword!"
