Chapter 208: Clever Strategy
"Look at me!" The chain flew out of Hou Qu's hand, and he directly lassoed him impartially. He fell to the ground, covered in dust.
King Ling looked over there hatefully, gritting his teeth. "I can't imagine that it is you, a hateful person, who has ruined the whole life of this king here."
There was an iron chain over there and the county order was arrested. At this time, on the gatehouse of the palace, with a wave of his hand, those sharp arrows flew down like wings.
They hurriedly retreated, and only when they reached a distance of dozens of feet did they rest in peace. The people were also frightened and fled.
Liu Yichen fell into deep thought. "If this is the case, there will be a stalemate, and those hidden tax collectors will inevitably make big moves."
Over there, the door slammed shut. King Ling narrowed his eyes and sneered. "I'm just afraid of these things, and they won't be able to attack my Ling Wang's Mansion now."
Looking at such a sturdy castle, Liu Yichen was also very anxious in his heart. "If you can't open it, it will inevitably give birth to variables."
They led their horses and looked around. It turned out that this Ling Wang's Mansion, the last side, was close to the city wall, and it was built very grandly and strongly.
Song Zhiyao said to Liu Yichen. "Xianggong, this place is not for ordinary people to enter, and apart from these tax collectors, why not?"
Liu Yichen listened to her words and looked back. The people rushed after him. The head is staggering, and the look in his eyes is very weird.
He thought. "These people must look at our strength, if it is not enough to suppress King Ling, they will definitely rise up against us."
At this time, another gust of wind blew, and Song Zhiyao's body trembled. "Xianggong, the little girl is so cold." She paused, leaning into his arms.
Liu Yichen said to the people over there. "Ladies and gentlemen, the tax packages that plagued people will never come again. According to the ledger, the silver taels were returned. ”
The people over there looked at him and were excited, but they didn't dare to speak. They also all know that inside, there are some tax collectors hidden.
Suddenly an arrow shot from the castle tower above. The people in front of them stood up, and they were shot through at once. Poof, blood flowing.
Liu Yichen raised his head directly and looked at it. A distorted face appeared over there, and so did the expression, particularly mutated and terrifying.
He sneered. "Liu Yichen, there is an old saying, it is born from the same root, but it is too anxious to fry each other, today, the love is over."
His grim face was even more cruel and terrifying. Liu Yichen scoffed. "What kind of love do you talk about harming the people like you?"
The family on top suddenly jumped out. In their hands, they carried bows and arrows, and sharp stones. Fiercely looking over there.
Liu Yichen smiled lightly. "I'm just afraid of this, you don't dare to really do it, when the prince is at ease, killing me is the crime of rebellion."
Song Zhiyao looked at the cold and lonely scene, her heart was so nervous that she was about to jump to her throat. hugged Liu Yichen and went back.
"Whoosh!" Suddenly, a rapid air flow floated directly over, and a sharp poison mark pierced through the gap between the two.
Before an attendant could react, his body was inserted in an instant. His cheeks swelled, his lips lifted, he snorted, and fell to the ground.
At this time, Hou Qu and Xiong Li, the two of them urgently blocked Liu Yichen's side. "Protect the Imperial Brother!" Several cavalrymen also went with spears.
King Ling laughed and said. "Brother Huang, you can look at the family in this palace, but he hasn't moved a single shot."
At this time, Song Zhiyao hugged Liu Yichen hard and looked back at the people. There was a commotion among them, and the murderer seemed to be hiding in them.
Liu Yichen tried his best to comfort her, gently and carefully stroking her hair. "Okay Yao'er, don't be afraid, what don't they dare?"
King Ling shouted at the top of his voice. "In this Tanzhou city, it is natural that the people's will is wanted, and if anyone takes the silver, it will be like this."
At this time, Ren Wang whispered to Liu Yichen. "Brother Huang, this is not good, the army can't force the prince's mansion to touch."
Liu Yichen thought about it in his heart, and he could only stalemate with him for the time being. He waved his hand pretending to be dashing, smiled slightly, and said. "Look at us, who will have the last laugh?"
King Ling's terrifying face smiled hideously. "Wow, you still say such things, then, naturally, you have to rely on your ability."
A dark cloud came, and soon it began to rain heavily. There was a thunder and lightning, and the people ran away to escape the rain.
They ordered the soldiers, spears in their hands, to stare at that side vigilantly. The horse's hooves kept going backwards, and only after a hundred feet did they leave.
At this point, they decided to find a private place to have a drink, relax for a while, and then think about the next step.
When I arrived at the best inn, the proprietress of the shop, with a white cloth on her head and a red and swollen face. "I didn't expect you to come again."
Liu Yichen looked at her and smiled awkwardly. "That is not a good thing, and if you get rid of this evil disobedience that plagues the people, you will naturally not suffer."
The proprietress also smiled bitterly when she heard this, rubbing her hair, and tears appeared in the corners of her eyes. "It's funny, sir."
Song Zhiyao looked at her from the side and comforted helplessly. "That incident was not our fault, catching these dog officials also avenged the shopkeeper."
The county order behind him was tied up with a rope and nodded slightly. The woman was silent for a long time, and said in a long voice.
"If you can preside over the justice of a lifetime, then it will be good, but this justice, I am afraid that in a few days, it will be broken, rotten, and smelly."
Liu Yichen looked at her with a stunned face. "I naturally understand that this court has its own justice, that is, it is Lang Lang Qiankun, and such things cannot be allowed."
The woman looked at and argued with them, but to no avail. Sighed in a long voice. "It's just that the prime minister is gone, what is the use of saving money?"
She waved her sleeves and said to the shopkeeper and the chef. "Serve the best dishes to everybody and go to the best room. I want to see that justice. ”
They went up with them, and sat down in the private room. After a while, the shopkeeper came up with good dishes and good wine.
Ren Wang drank the wine in a big gulp, and his face was red. "Brother Huang, what else do you have to worry about? Naturally, he didn't dare to do anything more. ”
Song Zhiyao stared outside, those who were tax-packed, although they didn't dare to come out blatantly, they were like mice, hiding everywhere, ready to plot at any time.
Liu Yichen pondered on the side for a long time before he said. "General, today's matter cannot be eradicated unless it is borrowed from the power of the imperial court."
Ren Wang looked at him and swallowed the wine. "If we leave, we don't know how they will harm the people?"
Listening to his words, Liu Yichen stretched out his finger and pointed out. "The people dare to be angry now, and as soon as we leave, this will be hell on earth."
The two of them frowned, although they temporarily suppressed them, but there was no way to go on. At this time, Song Zhiyao said on the side.
"The little woman also knows that the emperor is a person who values love and righteousness, not to mention, the treasury is not enough to summon the money, and the palace will inevitably speak for him."
Liu Yichen was stunned for a long time, and then a flash of inspiration. "If that's the case, no one will dare to defend him."
Ren Wang looked at him and asked suspiciously. "Brother Huang, how is it good? For the sake of the silver, there will always be people who speak falsely. ”
Liu Yichen took another sip of wine and said calmly. "It's just such a risk, but it's on the bow, and it has to be sent, which is the truth."
Then he whispered again. "It's to the court, play him a copy, saying that he is stationed in the army, and he is plotting against him in private, who else dares to accept black-hearted silver?"
As soon as he heard this, Ren Wang's face suddenly changed, turning from white to iron blue. "Brother Huang, in this way, the situation is very delicate."
Song Zhiyao, who was on the side, also felt that this matter was very dangerous. "Xianggong, that's it, we have become false accusations."
Liu Yichen's mind was racing fast. "That's no way, it's worth fighting against the water, otherwise, the people will be forced to have no way to live."
He gently stroked his bun and smiled indifferently. "The ancients once had a cloud that knew that I sinned against me, but they had to do it in the spring and autumn."
Before Ren Wang could react, he ate the meat again and filled the wine bottle, and the rich aroma filled the air.
"A glass to the general." After saying that, he drank it all, and his heart was full of pride. His face was full of wine, and he looked there confidently and resolutely.
Ren Wang looked at him like this, and said heroically. "It's the court that blames it, and the villain bears it with the adult, drink it happily!"
The two of them didn't mention that, they drank wine, ate food, and talked about the past. Song Zhiyao was only on the side, sitting quietly.
"That's it, at least the people can have a way to live." Just as she was thinking, there was a sudden terrible scream below.
She was directly startled by such a terrible scream, and her heart almost jumped out. "Good looking, it seems to be dangerous outside."
She hugged Liu Yichen tightly, clinging to his body, refusing to leave. At the same time, the soldiers below ran up.
"My lord, just now there was a man in black with a sharp knife and stabbed the girl, and we stabbed him to death and got a note."
Liu Yichen listened to those words, and his heart was anxious. "What's wrong? Take me down to see the girl. With a step on his legs, he quickly went down the stairs.
There was a mess over there, and the guqin was fallen. The girl, clutching her heart in pain, looked at Liu Yichen, and said with a sad smile.
"My lord, you said that there is justice in this world, but this justice, the little woman really can't wait." The slender white hands were covered with blood.
Liu Yichen felt very guilty in his heart and shouted loudly. "Doctor Lu, come over quickly!" The woman's head tilted, her hands trembling with all her might.
"My lord, the little woman died for this justice, and if she could see the thief punished, she would die in peace." With a thud, he fell to the ground.
Her eyes were still not closed, just staring vacantly. At this time, Hou Qu, Xiong Li, and the two of them quickly ran over to protect Liu Yichen.
"My lord, the thief's knife technique is too fast, and the little ones deserve to die, and they didn't stop it." looked at him with a look of self-reproach.
Liu Yichen was immersed in grief, and there was nothing else to say. "It is not your fault, brethren, and do not be anxious about it."
Then the soldier handed him the yellow piece of paper. A few words were written on it in blood. "Do you know when you will die?"
At this time, the rain outside sounded loudly, and a blue-white light flashed through the sky with a boom. Liu Yichen looked around indifferently.
"If you don't get rid of this Ling King, you swear not to be a man." At this time, Ren Wang also ran down, holding a golden knife in his hand, and ordered the soldiers. "Block the surroundings."
Song Zhiyao also ran down directly and sighed. "Xianggong, let's go out of the city! If it goes on like this, it will naturally be too dangerous. ”
Liu Yichen looked at her beautiful face, went up gently, and pressed against her little face. "Okay Yao'er, let's go now."
They got into the carriage vigilantly, and the soldiers were also surrounded by the bottom three layers and the outer three layers, and their bodies were full of damp rainwater.
Ren Wang said to them. "For now, the plan is to go to the military camp outside the city, where martial law is under control, and there are villains to take care of the affairs in the city."
