Chapter Twenty-Three: Tong Yili

It didn't take long for a head of the household department to rush over with a few scribes and dozens of sergeants, and the leading white-faced civil official unceremoniously blocked the way: "I am the head of the household department, what are you doing in Tongzhou?" The question book just under the Ministry of Households, the soldiers and horses in transit will all be transferred to the state to defend the city! ”

For Liu Yongxi's team, it was only the first time they encountered an obstacle in the real sense since they set off from Liu's mansion, so Liu Yongxi smiled, and the horse team did not rush forward, but sent Zhao Zhijie to negotiate with Shi Chaoli.

Everyone admired Liu Yongxi very much when they saw this scene, and they all felt that he really had the bearing of a general, but they didn't know that it was because Liu Yongxi had ridden a horse for most of the day, and his legs were hot now because of his poor riding skills.

Now he feels that he is about to be unable to get off the horse, and if he really wants to get off the horse, he is afraid that he will not be able to ride the horse again, so he will seize this rare opportunity to rest, not to mention that it is enough for a household head to have Shi Chaoli to deal with.

Shi Chaoli was bold, and he reprimanded in a high-pitched tone unique to his ministers: "You are doing things here with the title book of the Ministry of Households? It's so bold, I don't think you take the emperor seriously at all! When did the question instinct of the household department transfer troops? Do you want to rebel or do you want to rebel? ”

Although Shi Chaoli went up to stir up trouble, he was absolutely right about one thing, that is, how could the question book of the household department and the head of the household department manage the affairs of the military department, not to mention that the opposite side did not even take out the question book.

The head of the household department who came to intercept the road originally thought that it would be a miracle for him to intercept this group of people belonging to the Sincerity Bofu and drag them back to Tongzhou City, but he didn't expect that there was a high-spirited minister in the opposite team who knew the bad thing: "This minister, our Governor Kuraba said that the defense of Tongzhou is very important, and I want to ask Xiao Chengyi to go over to assist in the defense!" ”

The old man in Tongzhou City's original wishful thinking was to directly annex this elite force belonging to the Sincerity Bofu after setting aside Liu Yongxi, a half-grown doll, but now seeing that the situation is not right, he immediately changed the caliber to "assist defense".

Shi Chaoli continued to pinch his tone: "I see that you don't want to live anymore!" Is it important for Tongzhou's defense to have a diligent plan? Xiao Chengyi Bo was ordered to go to the southern capital to unify the army to the north of King Qin, but you deliberately delayed King Qin's plan here, could it be a spy sent by the thief Li Zicheng? ”

Although the previous unified tone of internal and external affairs was to go to Linqingzhou to collect debts and grab another beauty back by the way, such an excuse can only be used in the capital, and different excuses are used when leaving the capital, and any reason is not as good as "King Qin".

Since Liu Yongxi is the "King of Fengzhaoqin", he naturally has the right to act cheaply, not to mention killing the head of the household department, even if the household servant in the Cangchang, the governor of Tongzhou, is alone, he still dares to do it.

Without Shi Chaoli's order, Zhao Zhijie had already taken the initiative to add drama to himself: "That's right, this surnamed Tong must be a spy sent by a thief, brothers, take it for me!" ”

This head of the household is usually known for talking about military affairs, so he can be promoted to the head of the household who only uses jinshi to raise people, but it is really the first time to experience this kind of murderous scene, such as Lin's swords, spears, and firearms are all aimed at him, not to mention that Liu Yongxi, who is sincere in response to the attack, is also ready to rush up with an elite horse team at any time.

It's a pity that he has four classics, five books, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and eight articles, all useless, and even the military books that he usually talks about endlessly, and now he just wants to turn around and run.

But the problem is that it's too late to turn around and run, so the head of the household boy can only cheer himself up while trembling: "Misunderstanding, this is all a misunderstanding, it turns out that Xiao Chengyi Uncle is preparing to gather soldiers and horses in Nandu, this is all a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding!" ”

Shi Chaoli just wanted to continue to talk to the master in charge, but Liu Yongxi suddenly spoke: "Is it really a misunderstanding?" ”

As he spoke, the horse team led by Liu Yongxi had already pressed up, and in front of the roaring iron hooves, the boy who usually liked to talk on paper the most, almost fell off his horse: "Misunderstanding, what a misunderstanding, little Chengyi Bo, I am Tong Yili, the head of the household department in Tongzhou Jian Cang, and I have had several encounters with Caojiang Chengyi Bo, and I am an old friend of Chengyi Bo!" ”

Tong Yili became more and more nervous the more he spoke: "If the lower official knew that you were going to the southern capital to lead the army of King Qin, he would definitely not invite you to enter Tongzhou to assist in defense, not to mention that the lower official was also willing to go with you to the southern capital to recruit soldiers and horses to go north to King Qin, and now dozens of our yamen in Tongzhou are waiting for King Qin's army to go north!" ”

Although Liu Yongxi's expression softened, there was still a murderous aura on his face: "Since it's a misunderstanding, it's good, let's go to Zhangjiawan!" Master Tong, please lead the way in front! ”

Shi Chaoli immediately shouted unceremoniously: "Master Tong, hurry up and lead the way, you won't really be a spy of the thief faction in Tongzhou!" ”

Although Master Tong was reluctant in his heart, Liu Yongxi just didn't speak, and immediately controlled all the scribes and sergeants he brought, and even sent Zhao Zhijie to control Tong Yili, the head of the household department.

Now he understands that Xiucai meets Bing, and he can't explain it clearly, and he doesn't take a trip according to Xiao Chengyibo's intentions, according to Zhao Zhijie's words, "Correct the law on the spot!" ”。

Although as long as he reaches the court, Master Tong has a hundred ways to deal with Liu Yongxi, and can even come up with many ways to ruin Liu Yongxi's reputation, but now he can only honestly walk in front of Liu Yongxi to lead the way, and even can only watch the batch of scribes and sergeants he brought become prisoners of Uncle Chengyi's mansion: "Little Uncle Chengyi, are you really going to enter Tongzhou City to meet with our Governor Kuraba?" ”

Liu Yongxi said confidently: "No need, Your Majesty sent Zhang Guowei to Nanjing and Zhejiang to recruit troops to King Qin, but you also know that Zhang Guowei was originally a revenge minister, Your Majesty is worried that he will never return, and the six departments of Nanjing are the most idle, and the old ministers are the most unusable, and now not only the soldiers and horses of King Qin are not coming, but now even the boats and Tang Bao are broken, if you go too late, I am afraid that there will be unexpected changes, so I will not enter Tongzhou to delay time!" ”

These things he said are already the truth, and Master Tong can't find fault with it at all, so he can only make promises, and Shi Chaoding saw that Liu Yongxi had already coerced Tong Yili and immediately jumped out: "The matter of Zhangjiawan will be entrusted to the principal, I believe that with the talent of Lord Tong, not to mention a small Zhangjiawan, but it is not a problem to settle the entire Tongzhou!" ”

Master Tong has already heard the subtext in Shi Chaoli's words, if he can't settle Zhangjiawan, I'm afraid that this Shi Gonggong will put the charge of "thief and traitor" on his head, he can only bite the bullet and say: "Xiaguan do his best!" ”

Zhangjiawan is located in the southeast of Tongzhou City, which is the most important inland river wharf in the whole Gyeonggi Shuntianfu, although the Datong River can reach Chaoyangmen directly after Longwan, and four or five new wharves have been built near Tongzhou, but the status of Zhangjiawan has not been affected much, and most of the boats from the south will be anchored here.

With Master Tong leading the way, Liu Yongxi's team naturally arrived in Zhangjiawan without accident, but as soon as he arrived in Zhangjiawan, he got the news of the closure of the ship, and even the big ship that Liu Kongzhao prepared for Liu Yongxi in advance was detained by the Li Shuban here.
