When Zhang Guangcheng and Li Changjing introduced the town's township covenant, Baozheng and a few armor chiefs to Yu Qinghuai and other Hai'an gentry who led the troops, and arranged where more than 400 villagers would live and eat at night, and returned to Licai Hall, Master Hu lay on the ground and wailed in pain, his ass had been beaten to a bloody blur.

The twelve green battalion soldiers he brought with him were obviously not as afraid of death as he said, and in the face of a few firebird guns, they honestly took off their oxtail knives, lined up and squatted under the wall, holding their heads with both hands, and no one dared to act rashly.

When Ji Daji was wielding a board and spanking Master Hu's ass just now, Han Xiufeng was not idle, and had already written a letter and several confessions.

"Jida, let a few of them draw a bet on the confession and press a handprint."

"Yes!" It turned out that the buttocks of the talented master could be beaten, and Ji Da had never been so excited, so he took the confession and ran to let those green battalion soldiers draw a charge.

Zhang Guangcheng and Li Changjing were taken aback, and were about to ask what was going on, when Han Xiufeng walked up to Master Hu, looked at the green battalion soldiers who were busy painting their handprints, and said: "Mr. Xu's words Mr. Hu brought it, and Mr. Xu asked Mr. Hu to send the weapon and the official also received it, there is nothing wrong with Mr. Hu here, there is nothing wrong with you, wait a while to find a door panel to carry Mr. Hu back, be careful on the road, don't bump Mr. Hu into it!" ”

The green battalion soldier who took the lead thought that Xu Lao Ghost was not easy to serve, and the young man in front of him was not a master to be messed with, as the saying goes, it depends on the owner to beat the dog, he can beat whoever he wants, and he doesn't even take the master to see it. I thought that if I didn't leave, I would really be beaten half to death like Master Hu, so I hurriedly said: "Obey orders, little ones obey orders." ”

"Then why are you still squatting, hurry up and carry Mr. Hu out."

……

More than a dozen green battalion soldiers did not dare to delay for a moment, and hurriedly got up and helped Master Hu out of the courtyard.

"The surname is Han, you wait, Master Xu won't spare you!"

"Mr. Hu, don't say it, let's go quickly."

Li Changjing looked back at Master Hu who was helped away, and couldn't help asking, "Brother Han, what are you doing here?" He's a ghost Xu, how can you say that you can fight? ”

"Brother Li doesn't know, this turtle son is a prison sent by Old Ghost Xu, and he actually said that he wanted my head, and he dared to commit a crime, you said that I could bypass him!"

He ...... How dare he say that? ”

"What are you lying to do, Xu Lao Ghost plans to let us rush to help Yangzhou, saying that it is to help Yangzhou is actually asking us to intercept the bandits and robbers to protect Taizhou, but he doesn't believe us, so he sent this turtle son to be the prison army, saying What if I Han Xiufeng dares to escape, he will cut off my head, and also said that what is the troubled times with heavy codes, Xu Lao Ghost can only cut it first and then play it, and then ask the court for guilt after the beheading."

"Damn, who does he think he is!"

"So give him some color and see."

"Is it tolerable or unbearable, Old Ghost Xu is too deceitful!" The more Zhang Guangcheng thought about it, the more angry he became, and he couldn't help but kick the door uncontrollably.

was bullied to the head by a master, Li Changjing was also depressed, and said hatefully: "It's just that the surname Hu is not big or small, doesn't Xu Lao Ghost understand the rules, he really thinks he is a minister of the Qin Mission, I really don't know how he did it!" ”

Han Xiufeng beckoned the two of them into the house, and said with a wry smile: "Old Ghost Xu is really not an official, he is admitted." ”

"What about being admitted, even if he is a Jinshi, he can't disrespect the laws of the imperial court!"

"Brother Li, what you said is on point." Han Xiufeng sat down, picked up the teacup and asked: "Brother Zhang, it's just that Xu Lequn gets carried away, after all, the surname Xu has never seen anything in the world, and he doesn't know that the sky is high and the earth is thick, and he dares to use a chicken feather as an arrow." The surname Hu just now is similar to Xu Lequn, but why does Old Ghost Xu dare to be lawless in our Taizhou and do whatever he wants? ”

Zhang Guangcheng was stunned, and looked at the two of them helplessly: "He is bullying his father to be sick and unable to be a director." ”

Han Xiufeng nodded, and shook his head slightly: "Yes, but not exactly." ”

Zhang Guangcheng asked puzzledly: "Why did Brother Han say this?" ”

"Ling Zun is sick, Zhang Shoubei is not sick, Xu Lao Ghost is different, he will beat Zhang Shoubei's board when he says he will fight, and he will take Zhang Shoubei's post if he says that he will take his position." Han Xiufeng paused, looked at Li Changjing again, and said, "Brother Li is not sick, but Old Ghost Xu still doesn't treat Brother Li like this." ”

Li Changjing reacted suddenly: "Guangcheng, the reason why Old Ghost Xu dares to do whatever he wants is not because of anything else, but because he has taken the weakness of Yang Dianbang and Zhang Tingrui, he knows that Yang Dianbang and Zhang Tingrui are greedy for life and afraid of death, so no matter what he wants to do, Yang Dianbang and Zhang Tingrui can only admit it." ”

"He's also a fox and a fake tiger!" Zhang Guangcheng stood up suddenly.

"Almost." Li Changjing said hatefully: "He is a Qing army always arresting the same old man, this is when he meets a timid and afraid of things and even greedy for life and afraid of death, if he is put in other places, if he meets other mansions, he can only be a shaking head old man who says nothing!" ”

Zhang Guangcheng muttered: "If Yang Dianbang and Zhang Tingrui abandon the city and flee for their lives regardless of the responsibility of defending the land, then they will no longer be the governor of the river and the prefect of Yangzhou, and the old ghost Xu will no longer be as powerful as he is now?" ”

"Exactly." Han Xiufeng nodded slightly.

The more Zhang Guangcheng thought about it, the more excited he became, clenched his fists and said: "My father is still alive, my father is the main hall of Taizhou, as long as my father is here, Taizhou will not be able to call the shots for him!" ”

Thinking that he could let out a bad breath and even take Jia Xiaoquan out of the city, Li Changjing said eagerly: "Yes, yes, Master Zhang is our Taizhou main hall, and he Xu Lao Ghost only moved to Taizhou, and he is not under the jurisdiction of Taizhou." ”

"It's really a fan of the authorities, two, I'll go back to Taizhou!"

"Brother Zhang, what are you going to do when you go back, and what can you do now?"

"Take back the official seal and let him get out!"

"The official seal is naturally going to be taken back, but not now." Han Xiufeng groaned.

Li Changjing thought so, and grabbed Zhang Guangcheng's arm: "Guangcheng, Brother Han is right, this matter has to be considered in the long run." Even if you want to get back the official seal, you have to wait for Yang Dianbang and Zhang Tingrui to abandon the city and flee for their lives, only when his backers are all down, we can let him go! ”

Zhang Guangcheng quickly calmed down, sat down and said, "That's right, this matter can't be rushed." ”

Thinking of the things that Old Ghost Xu had done these days, Han Xiufeng patted him on the arm: "Brother Zhang, in my opinion, it's not a bad thing to let him do whatever he wants for a few days, after all, whether it is Ling Zun or me and Brother Li, we have the responsibility of defending the land, but we can't say like Yang Dianbang and Zhang Tingrui that if you abandon the city and run for your life, you will abandon the city and flee for your life, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, we will defend."

Since you can't be unprepared, you can't be prepared to keep it, and it's impossible not to offend people, especially the gentry and salt merchants in the city. Since Old Ghost Xu is willing to offend, why do we rob him? Let him prepare first, and when he gets angry, we'll clean up the mess and let him go. ”

"Yes, Brother Han is right, doesn't he want to exchange our lives for the top, why can't we give him a way to return his body and give him a salary!"

"Not only must he get out, but when the time comes, he will also go to the book together with the gentry and accuse him of having no king's law and doing whatever he wants!"

"I think it's okay, but we can't do it."

"Brother Han, don't worry, we don't need to come forward for this matter, it's not easy to clean him up, you see how I can put a wall on him and push everyone down!"

"Then it's decided, wait for the situation in Yangzhou City to find out clearly, in short, don't let him go, none of us will have a good life." If we don't let him go, we will be killed by him sooner or later. ”

Thinking of the board that had just hit Master Hu, Zhang Guangcheng asked worriedly: "Brother Han, you advised me not to be in a hurry, but why didn't you hold back just now?" ”

"You mean the surname Hu?"

"Hmm."

Han Xiufeng raised his arm and pointed in the direction of the riverbank, and said confidently: "Fight and fight, there are so many townspeople, not to mention beating the board surnamed Hu, even if he cuts off the head surnamed Hu, he Xu Old Ghost can only break his front teeth and swallow it in his stomach at this time!" He is now unavailable, and if he wants to take my post and cure my crimes, at least until the reinforcements arrive in Yangzhou. ”

"But the most we can do is let him stand aside, or we will kill him. Brother Han, Brother Li and I have nothing to worry about, it doesn't matter if my father is an official or not, Brother Li has been deprived of his post anyway, you are different from us, you have a bright future, you can't just ruin your future. ”

"What's different, the thieves have become like this, what does this official do." Han Xiufeng thought for a while, and then said: "Besides, it's not so easy for him to clean me up, as long as he can hold Taizhou, does the imperial court believe his words of Old Ghost Xu, or does it believe the words of Taizhou's civil and military officials and gentry?" ”
