said that when Zhao Junchen was scheming to arrange the maze and mislead the Mongolian coalition army, Li Ruan also did not rest, and rushed towards Tianshui City overnight.

However, after all, the distance of Tianshui City is farther, and Li Ru'an's riding skills are just ordinary, and the speed is inevitably slower, so when Li Ruan arrived outside Tianshui City, the time was already the afternoon of the next day.

Li Ru'an knows very well that the current battle situation is urgent, and Zhao Junchen's maze may not be able to hide from the Mongolian coalition for too long, he must calm down the chaos in Tianshui City in the shortest possible time, and then Zhao Junchen's side can let go without worries!

However, after arriving outside Tianshui City, Li Ruan still spent some time tidying up his appearance, recovering his mental and physical strength, and making his image appear arrogant and calm, and then he came to the east gate of Tianshui City - according to intelligence, after the civil rebellion in Tianshui City, Dongcheng was still under the control of the government.

Obviously, because of the civil uprising, there were already some cups and snakes in Tianshui City at this time, and Li Ru'an's escort and entourage added up to only twenty or thirty people, but it still caused a burst of tension among the defenders of Tianshui City.

Without waiting for the defenders of Tianshui City to ask, Li Ru'an rode his horse forward and said: "Our family is Li Ru'an, the eunuch of the imperial horse and the supervisor of the northwest sent by the imperial court!" Now, on the orders of Lord Zhao, he came to Tianshui City to investigate the civil uprising! Hurry up and open the city gates, and let the guards and garrisons of Tianshui City come to greet you! ”

Li Ru'an was originally just a scholar, and he always spoke softly, but since he entered the palace, his voice has gradually become shrill and piercing, and at this time, under the shouting, the defenders on the city wall can hear it clearly.

Therefore, the defenders did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly went to inform the bigwigs of Tianshui City, while respectfully verifying Li Ru'an's identity.

About a quarter of an hour later, the gate of the eastern city of Tianshui City was opened, and then a group of civil and military officials were seen leaving the city one after another, hurrying towards Li Ru'an.

Among this group of civil and military officials, the leader is Yiwen and Yiwu, the civil official is Deng Fuquan, the prefect of Tianshui Prefecture, and the military attache is Yao Qi, the garrison of Tianshui City.

It's just that everyone, including Deng Fuquan and Yao Qi, looked a little embarrassed and panicked at this time, and they couldn't see the wealth and calmness on weekdays at all, obviously because of the civil unrest in the city.

Hurriedly rushed to Li Ru'an's face, Deng Fuquan and Yao Qi led everyone to salute Li Ru'an, and said in unison: "I wait for the officials and people of Tianshui to welcome the Supervisor Army, and you have been fortunate all the way!" ”

On the other side, Li Ruan was still riding on a horse, putting on an impatient and arrogant look, and snorted coldly: "It's really difficult for you Tianshui City to enter!" Our family came all the way non-stop just to wipe your ass for the mess you made, and as a result, you had to blow a cold wind outside the city for half a day before you could enter the city! ”

In fact, the speed of Deng Fuquan and the others was already extremely fast - because of the civil upheaval in the city, the Tianshui City government had lost control of Tianshui City, and the leaders of Tianshui City could only retreat in a corner of the east city for a few days to wait for help, and after learning the news of Li Ru'an's appearance, it was easy to gather and go out of the city to greet them, and it only took a quarter of an hour before and after.

Obviously, Li Ru'an is deliberately making things difficult for the officials, businessmen and gentry in Tianshui City.

But because of the civil unrest, Deng Fuquan, the prefect of Tianshui, consciously took the blame, so naturally he didn't dare to refute it, but just laughed and said: "It's the lower officials and others who are negligent, and I also ask the supervisor not to be surprised, don't be surprised!" ”

Li Ruan snorted coldly again, ignored Deng Fuquan and the others, and rode directly towards the city.

However, Deng Fuquan and the others just ate this set, not only did they not get angry, but they followed behind with a smiling face.

After entering Tianshui City, Li Ru'an raised his eyes and saw that Tianshui East City was now a mess and chaotic, just like a dead city, empty and difficult to see, even if he occasionally saw one or two pedestrians, they were all in a hurry, and these pedestrians were either local garrisons or servants of rich and noble families, and ordinary people couldn't see any of them.

In the distance, some chaotic and noisy sounds can be faintly heard.

Seeing these situations, Li Ru'an's expression became more and more cold.

Because the prefect yamen of Tianshui City has been controlled by the rebels, after Li Ruan entered Tianshui City, the meeting place was placed in Deng Fuquan's mansion.

This is a deep house that occupies a huge area, magnificent, carved beams and paintings, Zhu Pavilion Green Building, floors and buildings, Li Ruan secretly estimated, just this family business is worth no less than 60,000 or 70,000 taels of silver, and Deng Fuquan served as the prefect of Tianshui for only three years to place such an industry, obviously not a clean official.

However, Li Ru'an still didn't look at it on the surface, but his face was as cold as before, and after taking a seat in the hall of Deng Zhai, he asked Deng Fuquan directly: "What is the situation in Shuicheng today?" Can the people's uprising be converged? Are the gates still in control? Can Dongcheng still hold on? ”

Deng Fuquan hurriedly replied: "Lord Qiqi Supervisor, the three gates of Tianshui are still under the control of the local garrison, but they cannot be contacted because of the isolation of the rebels in the city...... Alas! Since the outbreak of the popular uprising, the arrogance of the rebels has become stronger and stronger day by day, destroying and looting everywhere...... Fortunately, the terrain of Tianshui City is special, the branch rivers of Weishui isolate Tianshui East City from the west, north and south cities into two parts, plus Dongcheng has always been a gathering place for the rich and noble families of Tianshui City, after the gentry fled to Dongcheng, they finally barely stabilized the situation, and the rebels gave up after being repulsed several times! It's a pity that many of the local gentry with a high reputation didn't have time to escape, and they were all brutally murdered by them......"

As Deng Fuquan's words fell, the officials, businessmen and gentry behind him finally found an opportunity.

Before that, because of Li Ruan's cold attitude, they never had a chance to cry!

I saw that as soon as Deng Fuquan's words fell, the officials and gentry in the hall knelt in front of Li Ru'an and cried loudly.

"Lord Overseer, you must be in charge of us!"

"Those chaotic people, it's really hateful! The family business that the grass people have been accumulating for several generations has all been destroyed by them! ”

"Lord Prison Army, the villain's son was beaten to death by the rebels, he is a showman!"

"Lord Prison Army, you must cut all these rebels with a thousand knives, so that you can vent the hatred in our hearts!"

"When the fire sifted into the city, we kindly took them into the city and saved them from the cruelty of the Mongol Tartars, who knew that these untouchables would be revenge, and the gentry suffered countless losses because of this civil unrest! You must not let them go, Lord Warden! ”

In the midst of a burst of crying, the officials, businessmen, and gentry present all looked pitiful, as if they were all simple victims.

Of course, there are also some people who just stand aside with blank expressions, as if they don't want to get involved.

And Li Ru'an was still quiet, just watching coldly, and secretly noted the attitude and position of everyone present.

Under Li Ru'an's observation, it was found that most of the people who cried and complained were from wealthy backgrounds, while most of those who watched were from ordinary families.

At the same time, the officials, businessmen, and gentry of Tianshui City only cared about crying to Li Ru'an, but they didn't notice that Li Ru'an's guards had already pressed their weapons and surrounded the room where the discussion was held.
