Chapter 187: Zhu Lin
"Open a warehouse in the city to release grain." Liu Chenglin stood behind the big case and said to Liu Changfeng: "You are responsible for this matter." ”
Liu Changfeng bowed down to receive the order.
"Yang Xi, set up porridge shacks outside the city, demarcate areas, and build some shacks for those displaced people to live temporarily." Look to the other side, and say to the other general.
Yang Xi hesitated a little, and arched his hand: "Captain, these are mobs, and they once attacked the county seat, killed officials and rich gentry, the crime is not forgiven, and the captain does not punish their crimes, it is already lenient, and now you still want to help them?"
Liu Chenglin said with a calm face: "When the spring was up, these people were still good citizens of Jingzhou, and the crops that we came along the way that were growing fairly well should also come from these people, why did they become mobs now?" ”
Yang Xi was choked for a moment, and said helplessly: "Captain, I'm not against giving them help, you're right, no matter what, they are also the people of Jingzhou, I'm worried that once the relief starts here, the surrounding homeless people will flock to it, and it will be difficult to clean it up at that time." ”
He took a step forward and lowered his voice and said: "Captain, most of these grains are often closed grains, and some are military grains, which were transported to Jingzhou in the spring, and they are consumed like this, but I am afraid that it will not be easy to explain." ”
Liu Chenglin laughed: "Yes, I also went to see the grain in Anling, basically from Changping and military rations, but shouldn't these grains stay in Jingzhou warehouse?" How can it be sold at a high price in a grain merchant's shop? ”
His fierce gaze turned to the side, there were several officials standing there, but it was the county commander of this Anling, the lord Bo, the county lieutenant and others, except for the county commander, who was still looking at Liu Chenglin with his head held high at this time, and the others all lowered their heads, not daring to look directly at Liu Chenglin.
A fierce general like Liu Chenglin is really murderous, and the vision he has seen at this time is really not good, and people who don't have a little confidence in their hearts really can't stand it.
"Lu Zi Gaolu County Order, you may give me a reasonable explanation?" Liu Chenglin's chin was slightly raised, and he looked at the county commander Lu Zigao.
Lu Zigao arched his hand: "Captain Liu, about this matter, you should go back to Jingzhou directly to ask the assassin history." ”
Liu Chenglin squinted at Lu Zigao, and said with a smile: "This matter, why do you need to ask Lu Tingshi, it's nothing more than you dogs who are hungry for profit, colluding with officials who often close positions, stealing and selling reserve grain to fill their pockets, and now that the incident has happened, I actually want to frame the history of Thorn, I am really bold and reckless, and I don't know whether I live or die." Come! ”
A group of armor soldiers entered.
"Take down these corrupt officials and corrupt officials for me, steal and sell official food, force the people to rebel, and the sins will not be forgiven, and they will be escorted out and beheaded for public display, so as to pay respect." Liu Chenglin shouted categorically.
"Whoa!" The armorers responded violently, stepped forward and twisted Lu Zigao and others, and dragged them out with their arms cut upside down.
"Liu Chenglin, you dare to kill me?" Lu Zigao shouted in panic: "Lu Tingshi is my brother. ”
"Guan Qi, who can't be beaten by eight poles, actually wants to cling to the history of thorns." Liu Chenglin sneered and waved his hand: "Drag it out, cut it off, parade it in the city with your head, and then go to the four towns and eight miles to preach the first to show the public, tell the people that the corrupt officials and corrupt officials have been corrected on the spot, and let them go home to fight and reduce the disaster." ”
It was only at this time that Lu Zigao found out that Liu Chenglin was really going to kill him, and finally in a panic he shouted loudly: "Captain Liu's life, this food is not mine, it is" Before he could shout out, the armorer had already firmly gagged him and dragged him out.
A moment later, several bloody rumbling heads were bloodily lifted in by the armor, and Liu Chenglin waved his hand in disgust.
In the lobby, Yang Xi, Cai De and others were all looking at each other.
Jingzhou City, stabbing Shi Lugin's seven tricks are smoking.
"Bold, arrogant, looking for death!" He walked around the house in anger like a wild beast. He didn't care at all if Lu Zigao died, as Liu Chenglin said, he was just a relative who couldn't be beaten by eight poles, but his surname was Lu. However, Liu Chenglin was in Anling, but he took all the confiscated grain as his own, opened a warehouse to release grain, and gave relief to the victims, and the rest was put into his own pocket, and the money obtained from the grain sold earlier was also privately swallowed by him. Under questioning, he actually said that he was robbed by the mob after attacking the county seat earlier, and now those homeless people have returned home, and it is really impossible to recover.
The most annoying thing is that this person actually asked himself for the two months of military salary he owed, saying that if the military salary did not arrive, his soldiers were unwilling to pull out again, so they had to stay in Anling first.
"Mistakes, mistakes." Lu Jin thumped his chest: "You shouldn't let him go to Anling, now he really lifted a stone and shot himself in the foot." He pinched the handle and didn't say anything, and now he has to hold me hostage. ”
"Liu Chenglin is a person with different aspirations." Shi He Zhigao, the governor of Jingzhou, who also suffered heavy losses because of Liu Chenglin's actions in Anling, said coldly: "The assassin should immediately send a letter to the Jiedu envoy, this person is only afraid that he needs to be eliminated as soon as possible, otherwise he will become a problem for my henchmen across the sea." ”
"Yes, this person has collusion with Chengde, isn't his Lao Tzu an official in Chengde?" Lu Jin slammed it on the table, "I will immediately send a letter to the Jiedu envoy, this person is arrogant and domineering in Jingzhou, forcibly grabbing the reserve grain and distributing it to the people, inviting people to buy people's hearts, and the Jiedu envoy should have planned it as soon as possible." ”
"Thorn history, there is no need to report the festival." A voice came from the door, and Feng Song, one of the three troikas in Jingzhou, hurriedly came, "Just now, the Jiedu Envoy sent someone to send an urgent message, asking us to kill Liu Chenglin immediately." ”
Lu Jin and He Zhigao were both stunned.
"Wuyi Li Ze has already proposed to Liu Chenglin's sister." Feng Song said: "Li Ze killed Zhu Bin, Zhu Yannian, Ai Song, ruined Dezhou, Jiedu made him hate to sleep on his skin and eat his flesh, and Liu Yi not only surrendered to Li Ze as an official under his command, but now he wants to marry his daughter to Li Ze, how can Jiedu make it endure?" Liu Chenglin, a fierce general, if it is not dealt with as soon as possible, there will be disasters, then Jingzhou will be in danger and Henghai will be in danger. ”
"Liu Chenglin has a thousand soldiers under his command, and I, Jingzhou, although I can barely gather a thousand armor soldiers, is not his opponent after all, and now the heavy rain continues, the disaster is serious, the riots are endless, and even the government soldiers can't recruit much, how can I kill him?" Although Lu Jin wanted to kill Liu Chenglin with a knife immediately, he was still sober in his mind, and he knew that if he had to fight hard, he would not be the opponent of the other party.
"Why bother?" Feng Song sneered: "Liu Chenglin has already quelled the Anling riot, so let him go back to Jingzhou, and when he comes back, he will find an excuse to trick him into the city, and dozens of knives and axes will be enough." ”
"And his army?"
"Yang Xi and Cai De are all from the Jiedu envoy's personal guards, without Liu Chenglin, they can naturally take over this army, and then kill Liu Chenglin's cronies in the army, and there will be no more trouble." Feng Song said.
Lu Jin nodded again and again, looked at He Zhigao and said: "It seems that we really have to pay this guy another two months' military salary, otherwise he will stay in Anling and not come back, and we will be helpless." ”
"To a dying person, you might as well be generous." He Zhigao said with a smile: "This guy is in Anling, he thinks he has grabbed our handle, and he wants to be very proud, Thorn Shi, we might as well pretend to be low, let him think that we are soft, this guy has always been above the top, and he doesn't take us in his eyes, this time he will let him know that we are powerful." ”
"That's right, Changshi, you will run this way, send him these two months' salary, and then send him some goods privately, tell him about the food, until Lu Zigao, let him not go too far." Lu Jin said: "Soft words have to be said, but hard words must not be less, otherwise it will make this guy see the abnormality, and the combination of soft and hard is the normal state for us to deal with him, so that he will not realize that we will kill him." ”
Feng Song nodded and said: "That's the truth, although this person is a general, he is not stupid. ”
"Then where is Yang Xi Caide, who will contact him?"
"When He Changshi went, he brought the person sent by the Jiedu envoy into Liu Chenglin's military camp, and that person would naturally contact Yang Cai and the others." Feng Song said.
"Since Yang Cai and the others are the envoys of the festival, why not let the two of them directly launch a mutiny to kill Liu Chenglin, wouldn't it be more convenient?" He Zhigao asked.
Feng Song shook his head and said: "Although Yang Cai and the others have been under Liu Chenglin's command for a long time, the two of them only brought two Qu 300 armor soldiers each, and most of the grassroots officers in these armor soldiers were trained by Liu Chenglin, and the most elite 400 people in his department were led by Liu Changfeng and launched a mutiny, Yang Cai and the others did not have the courage at all, and the probability of success was too low. ”
"Understood, then I'll run this way." He Zhigao nodded.
A few days later, Liu Chenglin was satisfied with the military salary, of course, now he is actually not short of money, killing Lu Zigao and other Anling officials, the money copied from their homes is enough for him to pay his soldiers plus the bounty is more than enough. Of course, there are also those stolen money from the sale of grain, but Liu Chenglin is not ready to move this money, and he always needs to buy grain to make up for it. Since Lu Jin has already softened, he is not worried about himself, he still has to be stationed in Jingzhou, and it is not good for him to really make the relationship out of control with the local chief official, which is why he did not want the other party to climb Lu Jin when he killed Lu Zigao.
Take a step back, the sky is high and the sea is wide!
He Zhigao's humble face and He Zhigao's fierce stubble, in Liu Chenglin's view, are the signals of reconciliation between the other party. He accepted the other party's kindness with satisfaction and gave the order to prepare the class teacher to return to Jingzhou.
This state of satisfaction and happiness was broken in the middle of the night by a sudden person he never expected.
Looking at the unkempt and embarrassed Sun Zhi brought in by Liu Changfeng, Liu Chenglin was shocked.
"Brother Sun, why did you come here? How did it come to this? ”
