The two Fu brothers began to spit on their classmates about their legendary experiences. Speaking of the embarrassment on the way to escape, everyone laughed; Talking about how the Tusi soldiers killed the rebels, everyone applauded and cheered; said that the prince wanted the government and the gentry to jointly ask for help, and everyone said that it was so difficult; just said that Zhu Pingjin wanted all the big families to donate their land to the palace and reduce the rent, and everyone's enthusiasm dissipated without a trace.

He Youyi looked at the expressions of the audience coldly, he felt that there was no external force to push it, and it was difficult for these gentlemen to easily comply. While he was thinking about it, the people on the mountain already knew about the arrival of the Shu Domain's rescuers, and the ministers of the Zhizhou Kingdom were overjoyed and ordered the Yamen to open the middle door to greet him. He Youyi took the opportunity to get out, and before leaving, he glanced at the Fu brothers quite meaningfully, which made them break out in a cold sweat.

In the main hall of the secluded state yahou mansion, the prefect Wang Guochen, Yazhou Shouyu Qianhu Ruan Shiqi and He Youyi talked secretly behind closed doors.

"My lord, the prince has a secret message for the student to be forwarded to the adult." After He Youyi confirmed that no one was eavesdropping around, he took out a letter from his cuff and said to the Wang Guochen who was sitting at the top: "Shizi Dao, the content of this letter may be a little appalling, please don't make a noise when you watch it, so as not to alarm your subordinates and shake the hearts of the army!" ”

Wang Guochen was a little curious, what "appalling" content would be in the letter of the prince, and even scare himself out? He smiled and said: "It's okay, I have been an official for many years, and I still have this kind of self-cultivation!" Mr. He, even though it is presented. ”

He Youyi left his seat and presented the letter to Wang Guochen. Wang Guochen didn't have a knife to open the letter, so he carefully tore one edge with his fingernails, took out the letter paper and read it carefully. It's just that as soon as Wang Guochen read the letter, he immediately put the letter paper close to his eyes, so that people couldn't see his expression clearly.

Ruan Shiqi, who was sitting opposite He Youyi, was very curious, and he craned his neck to see what was going on.

He Youyi smiled at Ruan Shiqi and said, "Lord Ruan, the prince also has a letter for you." Please don't make a sound. ”

Ruan Shiqi heard that he also had one, and said in his heart that he was a small thousand households, and his reputation was known to the palace, so he couldn't help but be very proud, and hurriedly stood up and humbly said: "The prince has a heart, the villain is a small official, why should the prince personally repair the book?" The prince has an order, just summon the villain. The villain must be on call, and he doesn't dare to bother with half a word......"

He Youyi stood up and walked into Ruan Shiqi, and while reaching into his sleeve to touch the letter, he said with a smile: "The meaning of the prince, Lord Ruan will know it when he reads the letter." Then there was an extra dagger in his hand and plunged into Ruan Shiqi's abdomen. It turned out that he had a dagger tied to his forearm, and he drew his blade before pretending to touch the letter.

Ruan Shiqi was polite, and suddenly felt a sharp pain in his abdomen. He struggled to look down to see what was going on, and an intermittent "oh-oh" sound came out of his throat. He Youyi used the dagger to stir quickly in Ruan Shiqi's abdomen, and after pulling it out, he slashed it on Ruan Shiqi's throat again, completely interrupting his vocal passage.

"You...... What do you want to do? Wang Guochen heard the movement, his eyes took off the letter, and he saw the cold light passing through Ruan Shiqi's throat. His eyes were fixed on the sharp knife in He Youyi's hand that was still dripping blood, and the picture of Ruan Shiqi kicking his legs and twitching was shaking in his head, half sitting and half standing, his whole body trembled, and he shook the few pieces of letter paper on his fingers with a rattle.

"Lord Wang, please take a seat! Lord Wang learns to be rich and has five cars, and he must know the allusions of Tang Ju to the King of Qin. If Lord Wang called the guards, the student would have to follow Tang Ju's example, and the blood would be splashed in five steps! ”

He Youyi walked up to Wang Guochen calmly, pressed him back to his seat with his hands, and then tore the letters from Wang Guochen's fingers, put them on the candlestick, lit them and threw them on the ground. Burning pieces of paper illuminated the ground, and a clear line of blood on the ground stretched from Ruan Shiqi's corpse to He Youyi's knife.

The kingdom was as stunned as a wooden chicken, and let He Youyi fiddle with it. He Youyi held the dagger in his hand, sat down on the chair near Wang Guochen and said, "Lord Wang just asked!" It's not what the students have to do, it's what my lord has to do! The letter from the prince to Lord Wang clearly states that Ruan Shiqi plotted to rebel and colluded with thieves to sack Yazhou. Peng Yuanke, a hundred households in Feixian Pass, discovered Ruan Shiqi's conspiracy, and Ruan Shiqi instigated thieves to attack and break Feixian Pass. Peng Yuankebing, a major general, knew that he was inevitable, and knew that Tianquan Tusi was loyal to the country, so he wrote a blood letter asking for help before the city was broken, and sent his cronies to send Jian Dao to Tianquan Tusi. After receiving the letter, Tianquan Tusi immediately sent troops to rescue, but the mountain and road were dangerous, and it was impossible to save it, and Feixian Pass had fallen into the hands of thieves. Tianquan Tusi fought for a day, recaptured Feixian Pass, and pursued the enemy to the outskirts of Yazhou City, and beheaded the thief chieftain. I heard that Ruan Shiqi, a thief, has taken control of Yazhou, and he has raised troops into the city......"

Wang Guochen, as a cadre at the prefectural and municipal levels, had seen some scenes himself, and he had quickly calmed down at this time. After listening to the story told by He Youyi, he shook his head and said: "Ruan Qianhu, as the hereditary Qianhu of Yazhou's guarding of Qianhu, said that he colluded with thieves to rebel, Benzhou really doesn't believe it, I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince the public." Besides, Ruan Qianhu ordered the officials of the imperial court, and the prince killed him, which is probably not in line with the rules of the court! ”

He Youyi smiled and said: "Ruan Shiqi conspired to rebel, there is Peng Yuanke's blood letter evidence, there is his family witness, and there is ironclad evidence that the five gates of Yazhou City were opened and thieves were allowed to enter the city. May I ask Lord Wang, if it weren't for Ruan Shiqi's collusion with thieves and rebellion, then according to what the students saw, there was only one person who could let the thieves enter the city! ”

Wang Guochen's heart suddenly felt bad: "Who is that?" ”

"Naturally, it's you, Lord Wang!"

Wang Guochen was finally angry. He slammed his feet up, pointing at He Youyi and shouting, "Presumptuous! ”

"Lord Wang, don't be impatient, please sit down and listen carefully!" He Youyi held a blood-dripping sharp knife in his hand, and pressed Wang Guochen back to his seat with a smile.

"Lord Wang doesn't know, Peng Baihu also left a bloody letter, reporting that you accepted bribes from him and Ruan Shiqi to swallow up the national taxes collected at Linguan, Feixian Pass and other checkpoints. Ning Sen, the deputy envoy of the Linguan inspection, also attached a report letter, and the content of the letter was not much different from Peng Yuanke. ”

"Nonsense!" The kingdom was furious.

"Whether the student's words are credible or not, Mr. Wang doesn't have to care. But whether the imperial court and the two Taiwan and the three divisions will believe the students, whether they will believe the Tusi, and whether they will believe the words of the people of Yazhou, Lord Wang should care! Yazhou fell and the city was slaughtered, which must have alarmed the imperial court. After the court traced it, Lord Wang is the guardian of a county, even if you have a thousand mouths, I am afraid it will be difficult to escape the blame! Perhaps in the late autumn of this year, when everything is slaughtered, news will come from the Jingshi, saying that the Criminal Department, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the Dali Temple will be convicted and convicted, and the emperor will be sent to the execution ground to correct the law on the spot. I only heard a click......"

Anything can be forged, and anything can be covered up, but the fall of Yazhou into the hands of thieves can neither be forged nor concealed. Even if the dozen or so gentry inside and outside the yamen were wiped out, there were still the royal mansions and Tusi who knew about it. He Youyi's wanton banter completely penetrated Wang Guochen's weak heart. Great fear overwhelmed his self-esteem, shattered his reserve, and tore through his disguise. Before He Youyi's words were finished, Wang Guochen was already trembling, his legs were weak, and he knelt under He Youyi's knees, hugged his legs and cried and begged for mercy.

What a pleasure it is to be hugged and begged for mercy by Lord Zhizhou, who is high up on weekdays! He Youyi enjoyed the heart-scratching pleasure to the fullest, and did not push away the king's ministers. After a long time, he smiled and said, "The prince has already pointed out the way for you to survive in the letter, but Lord Wang is obsessed, and the student has no choice but to say what he said...... If Lord Wang continues to be obsessed, the students will have no choice but to ......"

A word wakes up the dreamer.

"Faith! Where is the faith? Wang Guochen immediately let go of He Youyi and lay on the ground with his head spinning around. Seeing a small pile of ashes on the ground, he realized that the letter had been burned. Fortunately, Wang Guochen's head is easy to use, and he immediately kowtowed to He Youyi and said: "What does the prince want to do, the officials will obey, please Mr. He make it clear!" ”

He Youyi patted Wang Guochen's shoulder and said with satisfaction: "Lord Wang is worthy of the capable minister of chaos!" Lord Wang found out that Ruan Shiqi colluded with thieves to cause chaos, so he immediately made a decision, personally killed Ruan Shiqi and other rebellious parties, and personally dispatched Tusi soldiers to clean up and recover Yazhou! ”

Oh! The truth is so simple! It's really a fan of the people involved, and I didn't expect it! Wang Guochen slapped himself on the forehead in annoyance.

"The prince has two things that Lord Wang needs to help with!" He Youyi told Wang Guochen about the letter of request for help and the donation of land by large households, and confessed the merits of Tusi.

As long as the prince does not coerce him to rebel, even if he sells his father and mother, the royal ministers can agree immediately. However, after hesitating for a moment, he still pleaded in a low voice, "...... All the subordinates should respond! It's just that the big family has donated land, and the lower officials are powerless and can't be the master! Please also ask the prince to be clear! ”

"The land and silver money of the big families is their lifeblood, and Lord Wang naturally can't be their master, so the contemptible people still need Lord Wang's cooperation. You and I are so ......"

When the night passed, there were still voices inside and outside the state office. But the back house is a stone's throw away, but it can be quiet in the middle of noisy.

"Butler, butler!" Wang Guochen walked out of the main hall of the back house, closed the door tightly, and then shouted at the top of his voice.

"Master, master!" The old housekeeper pushed open the door of the house and hurriedly ran in, "Master, you called me?" ”

Wang Guochen had already thought of his words: "Steward! You immediately let the kitchen make a late-night snack! Then you personally go and invite Deputy Li Qianhu, Deputy Chen Qianhu and all the military officers who have tried more than 100 households to the garden next door. Taking advantage of the fact that the thieves stopped at night, the official and Ruan Qianhu wanted to invite them to drink wine and eat meat, and discuss the plan for tomorrow's counteroffensive! This official also has a jar of good Chengdu Daqu wine here, and I will invite you to do it tonight! ”

The butler agreed and was about to leave, when he was called back by the king's minister: "After an hour, all those who are invited must be present tonight!" Now that the thieves are in trouble, those who can't be counted will be beheaded according to military law! After you have arrived, you will report to your official and hang three lanterns on the lamppole outside the yamen! Remember! Remember! ”

He Youyi and Wang Guochen clashed in the back house of the yamen, and the open space in front of the yamen became a pot of porridge. Hu Dasheng and Fu Yuanlan were fighting for the sake of the field, and Zhong Zhishou and Tang Mo couldn't pull it away.

"Whew! You obviously secretly took the benefits of the Zhu family, and came here to hide it from all of us! Hu Dasheng's clothes were spread out, and his eyes were spewing fire.

"You fart! Whoever took it had a bad hand! The front of Fu Yuanlan's new clothes was torn, but he didn't flinch, clenched his fists and roared back.

"Why bother! These things are decided by thousands of households in Zhizhou, and parents are in charge of these things. We are all classmates and friends, and studying the books of the sages is our profession! Zhong Zhishou's two arms were desperately separated, and one palm pushed the other to prevent them from moving close together again.

"Phew! I'm going to cut ties with him! The two sides of the fight said together.
