Li Sui got up and reminded him, "If Ben Hou is not miscalculated, plus the more than 100 soldiers that Lord Ye brought from Fengzhou, there are less than 800 soldiers in this city. How many people did you arrange around the Hou Mansion? ”

When Deputy Envoy Ye heard this, he unconsciously thought about it. He arranged more than 100 soldiers here in Guanghou Mansion, and in the rest of the place, there were only ten people guarding each fang, and the rest of the soldiers were guarding the city gates.

As long as the people don't make trouble, his plan will be nine out of ten.

But now that there has been a change, even if all the officials in the yamen are counted, except for the more than 100 soldiers guarding here, those soldiers guarding the city gate have to go to various squares to support the suppression.

As a result, the guards of the various gates became very lax and weak.

"This is really arranged by Master Hou!" Deputy Envoy Ye stared at him angrily and asked unwillingly, "How did you do it?" ”

"It's all this time, does Lord Ye still have to argue with Ben Hou about this issue?" Li Sui pointed outside and said: "Ben Hou gives you a piece of advice, stop it in time, don't kill again, or you can still have a good death." ”

When the words landed, he left without looking back.

At this time, in the Fu Garden, Ye Jinyu stood on the pavilion on the third floor, and everywhere he could see the nearby pavilions, the quiet long street and the soldiers wandering around the Hou Mansion.

In fact, I didn't see it very really, but there seemed to be a shout coming from all directions, faintly, and I couldn't hear it really.

"Ling Zhao, did you hear that? Is there a fight in the city? Ye Jinyu pushed the arm of the person next to him and said excitedly.

Ling Zhao listened carefully for a moment before nodding and replying, "I heard it too, something must have happened in the city." But our house is still quiet......"

"Master Hou!" Ye Jinyu suddenly exclaimed, turned around and ran downstairs.

Ling Zhao was interrupted, stretched out his head to look down, and sure enough, it was Hou Ye who had returned.

Ye Jinyu ran downstairs in one go, and when she rushed down, Li Sui was hugged by the person who suddenly ran out before Li Sui could walk into the house.

He was knocked to the ground and took two steps back, and quickly hugged the person hanging on him, for fear of falling the person.

When several servants in the courtyard saw this, they turned their backs and pretended that they were not there.

Ling Zhao saw this picture from a distance in the house, and silently retreated to the third floor to continue blowing the wind.

Ye Jinyu didn't hold it for long before he took the initiative to let go of his hand and pulled Li Sui towards the flower hall, "Why have you been here for so long, what are they doing here?" ”

Li Sui sat down in the flower hall and told her what had just happened.

Ye Jinyu laughed when he heard this, and gloated: "They are stealing chickens and rice now, no wonder I heard that there was no movement in the house, but it was a mess outside." How the hell did you get to this point? ”

"It's Xing Jing's credit." Li Yi looked at her with a smile.

Ye Jinyu opened his mouth in surprise, and only after a moment did he give a thumbs up and said: "So those people who took the lead in making trouble are all from the rivers and lakes, no wonder they are all so capable of fighting." When did they sneak in, Deputy Ye made them unaware of it. ”

Li Yi said: "Since Deputy Envoy Ye came to Yingcheng, they have come in one after another, some of them are friends summoned by Shao Daxia, and some of them are locals of Yingcheng. They have friendships with Shao Daxia and Xing Jing, and they are all temperamental people in the rivers and lakes, and they are naturally obligated to hear that someone is going to collude with foreigners to invade our Beiyu River and Mountain. ”

Ye Jinyu understood.

Li Sui sighed and said worriedly: "However, Yingcheng can only be regarded as a farce here, Deputy Envoy Ye and Qi Yan must still have people above them, and the people on Cangnan's side have not shown their heads so far, I am afraid that they will take advantage of the fact that Ben Hou is trapped and have other big moves." ”

"Isn't there still a senior? There's no news from him? Ye Jinyu was also very worried after hearing this.

If the people outside take the opportunity to start a war, even if they keep Yingcheng, it won't be long before it will become a battlefield.

Li Sui said: "There are some, as far as we know, the leader of Cangnan has been hidden in Shanbei Dao, but this person cannot be found. There is also an abnormality in the Jiedu Envoy's Mansion in Fengzhou, so this can only be investigated by Qi Joining. ”

"In addition, it is the previous finch organization, and the seniors have already found out their nests distributed in Kuncheng, and they are still investigating their true purpose one step further."

"Speaking of which, something suddenly occurred to me." Ye Jinyu stared and said: "Do you remember that after I was rescued by the man in black in Guangju Building, he gave me a picture, at that time we were not sure what it was, and then in reality, there were too many things and we ignored it." But now that I think about it, many of the things that appear in the dream are not for no reason, and if it is related to the predecessor, could it be that it points to something he is pursuing? ”

Li Sui's eyes lit up, and he said in surprise: "You're right, we actually forgot such an important clue." I still have an impression of that picture, so let's draw it first. ”

Ye Jinyu watched from the side, correcting or adding one or two places from time to time, almost a stick of incense, and after repeated revisions, Li Sui finally drew the picture completely.

"I think that's pretty much it, I don't know if the current seniors know about this thing." Ye Jinyu nodded and said.

Li Sui drew two more, folded one of them, put it in an envelope and sealed it, "I'll send someone to send it over." ”

Ye Jinyu watched Li Sui leave, she didn't doubt at all that in the current situation, Hou Ye still had his own channels to pass on the news. Bashan Academy

The civil strife in the city lasted two days, and it slowly subsided when both sides were extremely tired.

However, the soldiers guarding the gate of the Hou Mansion did not withdraw, the city gate was still closed, and the only people who really dared to move around the city were those who had to go out for a living.

Most of them had never been involved in civil strife, and they only knew that there was chaos in the city, and that there might be a sudden war in the near future. They couldn't get out of the city, and they didn't dare to forcibly break the city gate to avoid the war, so they could only hide at home and pray to God and Buddha, begging God to bless their hometown with peace and security.

Deputy Envoy Ye and the others cultivated for a day, and the previous group of troublemakers began to fight back again.

They attacked the Taishou Mansion and the post station at night, not only capturing more than a dozen officers and soldiers, but also taking a few officials who were attached to Qi Yan.

Before dawn, these people were brought to the guillotine, and word was spread that the true colors of these people would be revealed on the guillotine at three o'clock.

The so-called number of people is powerful, and they have seized the hobby of the common people who like to join in the fun, and today is not yet an hour, and there are more people around the guillotine than there are people who have gone out to earn money in the past two days.

These Jianghu people don't engage in those bells and whistles, they don't talk at length, and as soon as the hour arrives, they cut off the head of an official with a knife, and they can even tell the background of this person's net worth, and count all the crimes he has committed since he became an official.

The people, who had been frightened, were suddenly filled with righteous indignation.

They killed two more officials in quick succession, and they also told them all kinds of crimes, which finally aroused even greater public indignation.

Many people began to shout that these sinners would pay the price, but soon someone took the lead in asking the biggest question in the hearts of the people, whether the possible upcoming war in Yingcheng was also related to these people.

As soon as these words came out, there was another burst of excitement.

The quackyman, who raised the last official who was still alive, threw it to the ground, "Say it yourself?" Or take a knife holder around your neck and say? ”

The official had already been frightened by the blood of his colleagues in the same place and peed his pants, and fainted with fright, and he was still forcibly choked awake at this moment.

In the face of so many people shouting to kill him, he almost fainted with fright, and prostrate on the ground until a knife slammed into his neck, and immediately ignored everything, crying: "Ah, spare your life, spare your life, no, it's not me, it's it, it's Qi Envoy, he and he colluded with outsiders to think and want to rebel, and promised, promised us to be okay......"

Before the officer could finish his sentence, he was pounced on by the soldier who suddenly jumped up, and his neck was broken at once.

The surrounding people immediately retreated in fright, but at the same time, the soldier was also stabbed in the chest.

The soldiers behind were also stabbed to death by a few Jianghu people who reacted instantly.

When Ye Jinyu heard about this incident in the mansion, she trembled with shock, although those people died innocently, but she always felt that this kind of public murder was too cruel and violent, and she couldn't accept it.

Ling Zhao didn't seem to have any psychological burden, and even clapped his hands and applauded, "Good killing, usually these people don't know how many people are fished and meated, and they should be killed." Because of this incident, now rumors are spreading throughout the city, and they all know the true face of that Qi envoy, and it turns out that many people who are afraid of things are now following those Jianghu people, surrounding the Taishou Mansion and the post station every day, forcing Qi Envoy Jun and Deputy Envoy Ye to come out and confess. ”

"The power of public opinion is truly terrifying." Ye Jinyu sighed, and then laughed again, "No wonder I haven't seen that Deputy Envoy Ye come to the door to look for trouble again in the past few days, I'm afraid that he has been blocked now and doesn't dare to come out, it's so happy." ”

Ling Zhao nodded and said proudly: "It's still our Hou Ye who is powerful, and he can still strategize at this time, and he has reversed the situation so quickly." ”

However, the gate of Yingcheng still could not be opened, because Li Sui had already received news that a large number of soldiers in Kuncheng had left the city in full gear on the third day when the people besieged the Taishou Mansion and were marching towards Yingcheng.

The two places were not far apart, and they arrived the next morning, and set up camp five miles away, and sent men to the city gate to clamor for negotiations.

Li Sui had watched from the city tower twice, and the enemy army had at least two thousand people, and only a few hundred of them could really come in handy.

If the enemy forces a forced attack at this time, they can hold out for a day at most before the city is breached.

Simply these people still took care of Deputy Envoy Ye and Qi Yan, and they didn't take action for a long time.

Li Sui calculated the time, and with Qi Guanyu's ability to do things, if there was no accident, he would probably be able to rush back in two days.

Therefore, the plan for today is to "delay", and the longer it drags on, the better it will be for them.

On this day, as soon as Li Sui came down from the city tower, he met Ye Jinyu, who was not at ease and rushed over to see the situation.

"It's so hot, why did you run out, get in the car." Li Sui looked at her red face distressedly, with a dense layer of sweat on her forehead, raised her hand to help her wipe it, and then pulled people into the carriage.

Ye Jinyu glanced at the city wall regretfully, but the ice in the car was indeed much cooler than outside, which instantly made up for her regret.

"Those people outside have been making trouble for four or five days, can't they be trying to confuse us, let us let our guard down, and then suddenly attack at night?" Ye Jinyu poured two bowls of chilled mung bean soup and handed one to Li Sui.

Li Sui took it and praised with a smile: "Our Jinyu even understands this, and she is worthy of being the little girl I like, insightful." But don't worry, I've tried it, they still have some scruples about the safety of Deputy Envoy Ye for the time being, as long as they last another two or three days, even if they really fight, we won't lose. ”

Ye Jinyu tilted his head and said, "You also said that it was temporary, maybe they would suddenly change their minds in a few hours." They were all people who were raised by the Sheng clan in Kuncheng, and they were from Cangnan's side, and it was not impossible for them to abandon Deputy Envoy Ye, who had become an obstacle at this time. ”
