In the first lunar month, it should have been a time for families to reunite and celebrate, but in front of the Yaqian of Fenzhou County, there was a cry and a cry, and the sorrow soared to the sky, Lu Rong was unhappy, and said coldly: "This can also be counted on Yan Yijun." ”

Wu Bei said in a deep voice: "King Yan is the commander-in-chief of Youzhou's military affairs, although he often asks Taiyuan Mansion to cooperate with the troops, but this pension must be issued by the imperial court." In my opinion, if it wasn't for the fact that the imperial court hadn't issued it, it would have been detained by officials. ”

Lu Rong was even angrier when he heard this, and his face was gloomy. The Dazhong Dynasty had a strong enemy on the side to covet the Central Plains, so there was a law to treat the orphans of the sergeants kindly, and the amount of pensions for the soldiers who died in the war varied according to different grades, mostly silver money, grain and rice, which were distributed together with the list of the dead, and if there was a delay, it would be settled at the end of the year.

In that year, Lu Yuan had a case of 80 taels of military salary and embezzlement, and the person who committed the crime and planned together was shown to the public on the spot, without any regard for the situation, and the subordinate guard was up to the commander of the third grade, down to the sixth battalion level to suppress and demote the official by half a level, and was fined for one year to compensate for the crime of not investigating.

Afterwards, on the day of listening to the government, he said bluntly in the face of a group of military and political bigwigs in Youzhou: "You are not afraid of death, you guard the door for the country, and privately use your power to make some money for future generations to enjoy, I can turn a blind eye." It doesn't matter if you buy and sell business, sophistication, or even selling official beards, as long as you have the ability, you can do it, but the idea must not hit Yan Yijun, these children were born and died like you, and they have the same family as you, these few taels of silver are their lives, this is my bottom line. ”

As soon as these words came out, the world was in an uproar, the low-ranking people praised their uprightness, and the high-ranking ones reprimanded them for their nonsense, but it was also because of this that Yan Yijun no longer had food and salary and was greedy for ink, regardless of the grade, the food and salary were paid on time, and there was no arrears. Therefore, although Youzhou is a place of long-term war, the people's livelihood is hard, and there is no eldest male in every family, but few military households have disappeared and relocated. When it comes to the season of conscription, all the people respond, and they are not afraid of fighting to the death on the battlefield. Only then did the 100,000 border troops in remote Youzhou still have the ability to make great achievements in the 80 years of Beiban without losing an inch of land after losing the natural danger barrier of Datong Mansion.

Taiyuan Mansion, Yizhou, which can live next to Youzhou, is the same as the front line of the border but there is a world of difference, there is a matter of deducting pensions, Lu Rong has been a soldier before, and he has seen Pao Ze die on the battlefield with his own eyes, burying his bones in a foreign country, how can he not be angry when he sees this scene.

Seeing that the crowd in front of the county yamen was excited, and from time to time someone was injured by the guards at the door, Lu Rong couldn't hold back the stuffiness in his chest anymore, and shouted: "Soldiers serve the country, how can they let the old and young in the family have nothing to rely on!" Where is the Fenzhou Zhizhou? Let him out! ”

When everyone heard this, they cried out loudly, "Let him come out!" Let him out! Many people got up and rushed to the yamen, and more than a dozen officials barely supported it, and the scene was chaotic and became more and more unsupportable.

The official was furious, and while pushing the people who rushed up, he shouted: "Lord Zhizhou has a lot of opportunities, how can he come out to see you!" Quickly retreat, and if there is any more chaos, they will be arrested and imprisoned, and severely punished! ”

Where are the people willing to listen, the pain of bereavement and the grievances and anger that have been squeezed for a long time all erupted, shouting, reprimanding, shouting, and crying everywhere, and the surrounding people are gathering more and more.

Seeing that the scene was gradually getting out of control, Yuan Gong leaned over and said softly: "Your Highness, do you want to bring someone to rush in?" ”

Wu Bei shook his head and said, "There are too many people here, it is inevitable that there will be accidental injuries, and we will talk about it when the person in charge comes out." ”

Yuan Gong agreed, stepped aside, and led everyone to surround Lu Rong Wu's back in case of accidents.

Seeing that the people's grievances were boiling, the officials gradually couldn't support it, stretched out his hand to summon a messenger, whispered a few words, and the messenger hurriedly entered the yamen, and the official reprimanded the people loudly, while slowly leading the officials at the door to retreat.

It was already dark, and the big lanterns hanging on both sides of the county government gate were swaying in the wind, and there were several shops opposite, which had long been closed at this time.

I don't know how long it took to make trouble, Lu Rong faintly felt that something was wrong, the dozen or so messengers at the door escorted the official to slowly retreat to the county yamen, and several people worked together to close the gate of the county yamen, allowing the people to beat and cry outside.

A cold wind blew, and the half-missing bright moon also disappeared into the clouds, and Lu Rong remembered a sentence for no reason.

Sure enough, something flew out of nowhere, and directly knocked out one of the two big lanterns at the entrance of the county government, sparks flew everywhere, and it was trampled by the crowd in an instant. Lu Rong was alert and looked at the end of the street. I faintly saw a large group of people, all dressed in black, holding torches and sticks, slowly walking like this side.

Another object flew in and extinguished another lantern, and the whole street was pitch black. The people were also stunned in unison, and they cried again for a while.

Lu Rong knew that something was wrong, so he pulled Wu on his back, pressed Tu Su on his waist, and was on guard.

I saw that the group of men in black gradually quickened their pace, getting closer and closer, and someone in the crowd shouted: "The barbarians are here!" Run! As if as if an order, as if the words were spoken, the group sprang up and rushed into the crowd, beating young and old.

The people immediately wailed, calling for their fathers and mothers, and the miserable cries spread throughout the streets.

Lu Rong knew what was going on at a glance, combined with the performance of the officials at the door just now, it must have been the county government that colluded with this group of black-clothed people and used violence to drive the people away. The anger in his heart was even stronger, and he said in a deep voice: "Yuan Gong! ”

Yuan Gong had already drawn his sword in his hand, and sneered when he heard this: "Your Highness, if you want to die or live?" ”

"Whatever you want!"

Yuan Gong couldn't help it anymore, sneered and ordered seven guards to stay by Lu Rong's side, two sergeants held the horses to guard the carriage, and he took the remaining eight soldiers to draw their swords in their hands, and without saying a word, they rushed away from the crowd and greeted them.

At this time, the field was in chaos, and there were shouts and cries everywhere, mixed with the muffled sound of sticks hitting the flesh, and by the faint light of the torches, many young people spontaneously resisted, but how could they stand the fact that the man in black was holding a stick, and the fierce spirit was vicious, and it was scattered in an instant, and there were wounded everywhere.

The barking of the tiger came from the carriage behind him, and Chen Ti also lifted the curtain and looked this way.

Lu Rong and the others were already standing on the side, not in the middle of the place where the incident occurred, but occasionally a few black-clothed people who were not long-eyed broke through with sticks, and were stabbed by a few soldiers beside him.

Yuan Gong's side was not very smooth, the scene was too chaotic, they wore the same black clothes as the people in black, there were too many people on the street and they were in a mess, and they couldn't tell who was who, and many people who struggled to resist regarded Yuan Gong and a few people as gangsters, and Yuan Gong couldn't fight back, and they couldn't show it at all, and Yuan Gong was angry and scolded loudly.

Lu Rong's face was gloomy, looking at the battlefield, and saw that there was a big man in black who was attacking, holding a war knife, and commanding everyone to kill with arrogance, it was expected that this person should be the leader of the men in black, and his murderous intent suddenly rose, and he shouted angrily, "Kill!" He pulled out Tu Su and walked straight over.

The seven guards who stayed behind opened the way, lined up in a conical formation, protected Lu Rong and Wu in the middle, and went straight to the big man in the shape of a biao to kill suddenly, all the people in black in front of him, and he no longer had any scruples in his hands, slashing and slashing all the way, leaving dead and wounded all over the ground.

The big man also discovered Lu Rong and his group, and was slightly surprised, raised his hand to stop the black man from chasing and killing, pointed at a few people and shouted: "Brothers, surround these for me!" ”

Suddenly, more than 20 people surrounded Lu Rong and a few people, and from time to time there were blinding smirks who came up with the intention of sneaking attack, but they were all blocked by the guards, and there were too many people on the opposite side, even if the seven guards were all experienced and not afraid of death, it was estimated that Lu Rong and Wu were safe at this moment, and they had to be full of steps and stalemate together.

This side is deadlocked, but Yuan Gong's side has opened up the situation, once there is no people to hinder him, Yuan Gong, who is famous in the entire Yan Yi army, has already killed the red eye, and the eight soldiers blocked the footsteps of nearly thirty black-clothed people, and the fierce style of shooting will die, completely shattering the brave spirit of the remaining dozen black-clothed people who rely on bullying the weak and fearing the hard and the large number of people.

If you talk about momentum, how can ordinary people compare with the heroes of a hundred battles.

Seeing many people in black crying and calling their mothers to flee back to him, the big man's eyes were cloudy, and he said in a deep voice: "Who are you?" ”
