An hour later, the crowd arrived outside the city of Wu'an.

Li Xun stopped his horse and looked up, only to see that on the head of the city, dozens of human heads were hanging high, bloody, and some of them were even more dead, the boss with both eyes staring, looking extremely mad, and some passers-by who entered the city around him, looking at his group of people, were also full of hatred that could not be concealed.

Li Xun frowned and said, "What's going on?" ”

Yuan He said: "The governor should have heard about the outbreak of civil unrest in Wuzhou, and this civil unrest was finally suppressed by my troops and arrested tens of thousands of people..."

Without waiting for Yuan He to finish speaking, Li Xun waved his hand to interrupt his words, and said in a deep voice: "Don't talk about this, let me ask you, are you responsible for the heads of the people in this city?" ”

Yuan He shook his head: "It's an order from Lord Thorn Shi." ”

Li Xun was quite surprised: "Huang Xun returned to Beijing, as a deputy general, you temporarily assume the power of the main general, and the army is under your control, what qualifications does the local assassin have to give orders to you?" ”

Yuan He sighed and explained the general story.

After the civil unrest in Wuzhou was suppressed, Wu Heng out of the psychology of shocking the public, every five days, he killed dozens of people, and hung his head high on the head of the city, so it has lasted for several rounds, and the reason why Wu Heng was able to command Yuan He is very simple, after Huang Zhi was summoned back to Beijing, Zhao Zhi was worried that someone in the army would make trouble, so he issued an order and gave Wu Heng the title of supervising the military envoy to check and balance those generals under Huang Xu.

"Such cruel methods will only make the people hate us even more, how can they truly surrender?"

Li Xun pointed at the heads with a horsewhip and ordered: "Take all the heads from me and return them to yourself, so that they can be buried with all their bodies." ”

Without waiting for Yuan He to speak, a general spoke out and said: "Lord Dudu, Wu Heng is the military envoy, and he is contrary to his orders, I'm afraid..."

"I'm afraid it's a fart."

Li Xun said coldly: "I am the governor of Wuzhou, and I have the final say in the military aspect. ”

"What the Governor said is that the last general is lying in vain."

The general who spoke out of persuasion immediately blushed and bowed his head in response.

And they went into the city.

Li Xun leaned his head and whispered to Fan Zhongyun: "Wu Heng, this person seems to be crazy!" ”

Fan Zhongyun smiled and said, "He is in Wu'an City now, and Yuan He also sent someone to inform you of the news of your arrival, but I don't know why Wu Heng didn't come." ”

Wuzhou is a big state, and it is also a strategic place, so the history of the assassin is the fourth product, and Li Xun is at the same level, two people, one is in charge of the people, the other is in charge of the army, for a long time in the future, both of them will be officials in the same place, whether it is out of politeness or courtesy, it is reasonable, Wu Heng should come out to greet Li Xun, but until now, he has not seen Wu Heng's shadow, and the officials of the local government of Wuzhou have not come to greet him.

Wu Heng's assassination history yamen is in Shenchi County, but he himself is now in Wu'an City, Li Xun is here, and he happens to be here, so there is no reason not to come and see him.

Fan Zhongyun whispered to Li Xun: "Wu Heng is indeed crazy, the scepter and appointment document you gave me are still in his hands. ”

Li Xun frowned and said, "What's the matter?" ”

Fan Zhongyun told me about it.

The fake festival is generally given temporarily, and it will be taken back after a short time, but after the battle of Longyou, Zhao Zhi did not take back the scepter in Li Xun's hand, Zhao Zhi was silent, Li Xun would not take the initiative to hand it over, this time he went to Wuzhou to take up his post, such an important thing, of course Li Xun had to take it with him.

Fan Zhongyun rushed to Wuzhou first, and Li Xun gave him the scepter and his own governor appointment documents, and asked Fan Zhongyun to take them with him as evidence.

Wuzhou has five counties under its jurisdiction, and the governance office is not Wu'an, but Shenchi County, after Fan Zhongyun entered Wuzhou, he did not immediately rush to Wu'an, but went to Shenchi first, and met Wu Heng, the assassin, which is a kind of politeness, but Wu Heng was very arrogant, interrogating Fan Zhongyun by looking at the prisoner, although he was able to prove Fan Zhongyun's innocence in the end, but the scepter in his hand and Li Xun's appointment document were also detained by Wu Heng, fortunately, Zheng Chun, who came with Fan Zhongyun, met Yuan He, otherwise Fan Zhongyun was afraid that he would have to work in vain.

After listening to Fan Zhongyun's story, Li Xun had a sneer on his face: "Wu Heng? I'm going to meet this person when I have a chance. ”

The two of them talked and came to the gate of the Governor's Mansion.

Li Xun got off the horse, and Yuan He stepped forward and said: "Lord Governor, the last general and your colleagues have prepared a table of reception banquet in the Moon Tower in the north of the city, and I also invite Lord Governor to appreciate his face." ”

Li Xun said with a smile: "Brother Yuan and the hospitality of the brothers, how dare I, Li Xun, ignore it, but since I have arrived in Wu'an, I don't go to the camp to meet the brothers, after all, it is a little unreasonable, so let's arrange the banquet in the camp, I will arrange some things, and I will go immediately, just take this opportunity to get acquainted with the brothers." ”

Yuan He nodded, this is not bad, so he arched his hand and said, "Then the general will wait for the arrival of Lord Du in the camp." ”

Li Xun smiled and nodded.

"Let's go, Lao Fan, there were a lot of people just now, and it's not easy to talk, let's find a quiet place and have a good chat."

Sending Yuanhe and the others away, Li Xun pulled Fan Zhongyun into the Governor's Mansion.

There were more than a dozen subordinates in the governor's mansion, and when they arrived in a quiet room, they brought hot tea and charcoal fire, and Li Xun waved his hand and asked him to go down.

"The weather here is much colder than Fengjing."

Li Xun rubbed his hands, picked up a small iron rod, and fiddled with the charcoal in the brazier to make the heat even stronger.

Fan Zhongyun glanced at Li Xun, smiled, picked up the teacup, and took a sip of hot tea.

Li Xun put down the iron rod, clapped his hands, sat down, looked at Fan Zhongyun, and said, "Old Fan, you came four or five days before us, but what you see and hear, tell me." ”

"I do see and hear some things and things."

Fan Zhongyun nodded and said softly: "The situation in Wuzhou is much more complicated than I imagined. ”

Li Xun said: "When you say this complex, do you mean Wu Heng? ”

Fan Zhongyun shook his head: "Wu Heng is nothing, if he cooperates, it will be fine, everyone does not interfere with the river water, if he has to fight for the level, with your ability and strength, it is not a difficult thing to get him down, what I mean by complicated is the civil affairs of Wuzhou." ”

Li Xun looked at Fan Zhongyun, did not interject much, and listened to his words.

Fan Zhongyun said: "From the Xizong Dynasty to the present, the land of the seven states in the west of Longyou has been separated from the Great Jin Dynasty for more than 60 years, after so many years of changes, the people's livelihood customs and cultural politics in these places have changed greatly, and my Central Plains culture can be said to be somewhat incompatible, and there is little commonality in all aspects. ”
