Chapter 330: Sideways
Zheng sat in the flower hall of the Green Shade Pavilion, the maid served Bu Qingming, Fang Zheng picked up the tea, but saw the eyes of the people in the room looking at him, with a look of wanting to laugh but not daring to laugh.
Fang Zheng sighed, put down the teacup, and said, "Master Gu, if it's okay, you can go and get busy, don't keep hanging around in front of me, the official is troubled."
When Feng Ang heard this, he gave a random salute and hurriedly retreated, his back looking very flustered, as easy as if the hostages had been saved.
Fang Zheng slowly glanced at everyone in the hall, and said with a straight face: "Don't laugh!" This official orders you to have a sore expression! Official. He is a servant of the people and a grandson of the people. That's right, cough "just a little back today." Got the subject wrong "! You said that the old lady of the ancient master is so old, you have to go to the people to see what is lively, although the old lady is old, but the fire of gossip in her bones is still burning."
Xiao Huaiyuan finally couldn't help but laugh out loud, and said: "My lord said it is very reasonable, in the future, my lord might as well set up another rule in Yangzhou City, prohibiting the people from being idle and watching the excitement, and the violators will be arrested and thrown into prison."
Fang Zheng praised: "It makes sense
Then he quickly shook his head: "Hey." What to say? Aren't I just like Xu Shou's foolish official? ”
Han Yizhen sat on Fang Zheng's right side, his flower-like face still expressionless as usual. But if you look closely, there is a little more smile in her beautiful eyes that is different from usual, although it is as short as a flash in the pan, but it is also like a spring breeze turning snow, adding a bit of charm to her stunning beauty.
Everyone was chatting in the flower hall, and on the surface they seemed to be extremely happy, but everyone's hearts were heavy.
Removed Xu Shou, to win the hearts of the people of Yangzhou, this is only the first step, now the biggest problem, is the whereabouts of the King of Thailand, the King of Thailand now does not know where to hide, with his influence and prestige in Yangzhou, at any time to stand up and raise his arms, I don't know how many blind and ignorant people follow him to rebel and make trouble, after all, Xu Shou's perverse actions in Yangzhou have made the people have a very serious sense of distrust in the court, no matter how hard Fang Zheng tries to win the hearts of the people. It is impossible to completely eliminate the negative feelings of the people towards the court in a short period of time.
Vinson hurried into the flower hall. Hugging his fists, he said: "My lord, my subordinates have checked the net." Xu Shou has done a lot of evil in Yangzhou City,"
Fang Zheng frowned and said, "What's wrong?" Tell me more about it. ”
"My lord, Xu Shou has been the prefect of Yangzhou for ten days, and he is not greedy for money, but after he took office, he ordered the closure of the four cities and ordered the Yacha to arrest the whole city of Dasuo. The so-called Thai king's comrades were arrested in four places, and there was no need to talk about evidence at all when the government sent people to arrest people, and all those who looked vicious, those who did not like their appearances, and those who were between 20 and 40 years old were arrested and imprisoned. Almost all the strong men in Yangzhou City have entered the prison, and the prison next to the prefect's yamen is already full of people. He also transferred the so-called prisoners to the neighboring county jail, where he arrested the people and left them empty, and in the process of arresting and transferring them, nearly 1,000 people were seriously injured by the officials, and dozens of them died. Now the resentment in Yangzhou City is boiling, and now there are still many people kneeling in front of the prefect's yamen, asking the adults to show Xu Shouxiao's head to the public, in order to avenge the death of their relatives."
Fang Zheng was stunned, and all the people in the flower hall were stunned.
originally thought that Xu Shou had only been in office as the prefect of Yangzhou for ten days, even if it was evil, he couldn't do any great evil, imprisoning innocent people, or instructing the yacha to beat the people, these evil deeds were enough to make him dismiss the official, but they were not enough to kill the head, but I never expected it. Xu Shou actually made a mistake, this nature is much more serious, especially in this sensitive period, if this matter is not handled well, it is tantamount to pushing the thousands of people in Yangzhou into the arms of the King of Thailand, and the consequences are very serious.
Fang Zheng paused for a moment, then slapped the table hard. The salary address of this station has been changed to: Foot Union Concave Peng Embedded, please log in to the circle reading
"This son of a bitch. **All the beautiful female relatives in his eighteenth generation ancestors! How did this bastard become an official? It's not even as good as a brute! Come on, come on! ”
The two guards walked into the flower hall with their heads held high, and saluted with their fists clenched.
Fang Zheng's face flushed with anger. Gritting his teeth, he said, "Go." escorted Xu Shou to the square in front of the yamen, and cut him down to Lao Tzu in front of the people of Yangzhou City! ”
Wen Sen stopped: "My lord, Xu Shou is no longer in the city, didn't you order your lordship to escort Xu Shou to the capital and be sentenced and convicted by the officials of the Criminal Department?" Xu Shou was already standing in the prisoner car at this moment, on the way to the capital,"
Fang Zheng said angrily: "Committing such a huge crime, what are you waiting for the criminal department officials to sentence, come and come!" Send a few executioners to catch up with the prisoner cart, stab him a few times and come back."
"Huh?" Wen Sen and Xiao Huaiyuan were shocked, "My lord, don't be impulsive, in the wilderness, what's the matter if you send someone to stab him a few times?" Not only can the people complain, but also will give the truth to the officials in the court, it is not worth it! ”
Fang Zheng immediately calmed down, touched his chin and groaned: "It makes sense, send a fast horse to chase the prisoner car back, this Xu Shou must die!" It is necessary to clarify the canonical punishment and prostrate in front of thousands of people in Yangzhou City. Xiao Huaiyuan wrote this matter into the recital and sent someone to the capital to send it to the emperor quickly. If Xu Shou doesn't die in Yangzhou City, I'm afraid that the people's grievances will not be calmed down, and there will be many disasters."
Xiao Huaiyuan hurriedly responded.
Fang Zheng stood up, with murderous intent in his eyes: "Today, I, the minister of the Qin Mission, will do a very happy good deed for the people of Yangzhou City!" Kill that foolish prefect, avenge and avenge thousands of people! ”
After speaking, Fang Zheng slapped the Eight Immortals table beside him with a fierce palm, and looked straight ahead with anger in his eyes, and soon, his eyes were red. Crystal tears swirled in his eyes, and then drip after drop down his face.
Wen Sen, Xiao Huaiyuan, and Han Yizhen, who was sitting quietly on the right side, silently sat on the right side, seeing that Lord Qincha had such a true temperament, and everyone was moved by the people like relatives, and secretly sighed, Lord Fang usually scared him lightly, he was still kind-hearted, such a good official, now there are not many people who have been wronged these years."
Wen Sen stepped forward and said with relief: "My lord wept for the miserable experience of the people, and his subordinates were very moved, and asked my lord to think about state affairs, don't be too sad, those innocent and tragic people, if they know under the nine springs, they will remember the kindness of adults for generations, my lord, mourning."
Everyone said yes one after another, and they comforted Fang Zheng with their mouths.
In the admiring gaze of everyone, Fang Zheng's lips trembled twice, and two strings of bean-sized tears couldn't help but flow down again.
"Adults are really emotional, please mourn on the adult's day"
Glancing at everyone with teary eyes, the corners of Fang Zheng's mouth twitched, and he finally cried loudly.
"Woo woo me. My hand" just slapped the table, woo, cut off the coffee, come on, go and ask for a doctor. Rescue me "woo wu"
,”
At the same time, in a remote town called Yaowan Town outside the city of Yangzhou.
There is an unknown hill in the west of the town, there is a bamboo building on the mountainside, the bamboo used in the bamboo building, the Nanzhu from Jing Chuzhi, is quite precious, from the bamboo building, from the stairs up, to the main hall inside, all are polished smooth like a wall, on the side of the main hall, there is a small stove, and a pot of water is boiling on the stove.
A young man took the boiling water and poured it into the teacup in an elegant manner, and the small building was suddenly filled with a faint refreshing fragrance of tea. The man smelled the fragrance of tea in the room, raised his head with satisfaction, and showed a handsome and graceful face, which turned out to be the king of Thailand who the court and Fang Zheng were trying to find and capture.
The King of Thailand still had that gentle smile on his face, as if he would not take anything to heart and would not care about anything. With an indifferent look, he quietly held the tea cup, took a deep breath of the fragrance wafting from the cup, and then nodded with satisfaction, the smile on his handsome face deepened.
Yang Cheng was covered in scars. The line knelt tremblingly in front of the King of Thailand, and he didn't dare to come out, his face was already a desperate gray color, like a dead man.
The King of Thailand handed over a cup of tea with a smile and said softly: "Come, take a sip." This is the newly picked rain before the dragon well, this dragon well is extraordinary, it is said that it is a virgin * female mouth with its young shoots and picked, and then placed in the crisp chest and hidden by the meat, in order to absorb the body fragrance of its virgin * woman, and finally into the pot to bake and make. The entrance is very fragrant, and the predecessors have poems: "Wild springs, fireworks, and white clouds, sit and drink fragrant tea and love this mountain" Today's scene is not just the wonderful land of tea poetry? ”
Yang Cheng's body couldn't help shaking when he heard this, and his head was buried deeply. I didn't dare to move, let alone pick up the tea cup handed over by the King of Thailand.
Seeing this, the King of Thailand sighed, clapped his hands with interest, and sighed: "Although tea is good tea, the person who drinks tea is a layman, which is really a waste."
After speaking, he suddenly stretched out his hand, lifted a pot of boiling water, and slowly poured it on Yang Cheng's head, with meticulous movements and a serious expression, as if he was pouring a pot of delicate flowers.
Yang Cheng was suddenly doused with boiling water, and his mouth was so painful that he waited for him to cry out in pain, and then closed his mouth tightly, and his steel teeth were biting with a loud sound, but he never made a sound.
I don't know how long it took. After pouring a pot of boiling water, Yang Cheng's head and face were burned with blisters one after another, and he trembled with pain, but he still gritted his teeth and couldn't hold back his sound.

King Tai Fu sat cross-legged again, looked at Yang Cheng, and said lightly: "What does it mean to fail the mission, do you know?"
Yang Cheng lowered his head and said in a hoarse voice, "Die." ”
The King of Thailand sighed and said, "You fell for Fang Zheng, not only did you not get the money. On the contrary, my identity was exposed, and now the world knows that the king of Thailand is plotting against me, and I have become a rat crossing the street in this land south of the Yangtze River. No, don't live in seclusion in this poor and remote place to avoid its edge, Yang Cheng, you hurt me so much"
Yang Cheng's head slammed hard, and he said in a trembling voice: "Ten thousand subordinates die."
The Poison King looked at Yang Cheng for a long time. suddenly smiled: "You and I have not been short for a long time, you know my rules, Yang Cheng, I don't collect waste under my account, you better die."
Yang Cheng suddenly raised his head when he heard this. The look was a little unwilling and resentful: "But" Lord! Although I fell into Fang Zheng's trap. That is also the official way that I chose at the command of the Lord."
The King of Thailand said angrily: "Shut up! Don't you think it's my fault?
Knowing that he was about to be executed by the King of Thailand, Yang Cheng was discouraged, and couldn't help but smile miserably when he heard the words: "Lord, I, Yang Cheng, have followed you for many years, hard work and resentment, this mission failed, whose fault is it, you and I know it, Yang Cheng has no other complaints, and please give your subordinates a happy time!" ”
The King of Thailand sneered: "Although you have no other complaints in your mouth, you are still not convinced in your heart, Liu?" Yang Cheng, I'll tell you. Those in power can never make mistakes! Even if the superior is wrong, it is not his fault. It was his subordinates who failed to understand what he meant, and it was his subordinates who were wrong, not him! Doesn't it feel unfair? Hum! This is an unfair world! That's power! This is the fundamental reason why so many people are vying to become officials and emperors! Being in the upper position, you can taste the wonderful taste of climbing to the top of the peak and seeing the small mountains, Yang Cheng, you have been with me for so many years, don't you still understand this truth? ”
Yang Cheng's eyes were cold, and he smiled miserably: "My subordinates are stupid, I only understood today, it's sad."
The King of Thailand regained his smiling expression and said softly: "Chaowen said, you can die at night." Yang Cheng, you, go ahead. ”
Yang Cheng kowtowed to the King of Thailand with a pale face, then pulled out a short dagger and stabbed him in the heart, scarlet blood suddenly flowed out, Yang Cheng convulsed a few times, gasping for breath The King of Thailand showed a mocking smile, and said: "Lord, in fact, you, you don't understand it" Yang Cheng fell into his head. Looking at Yang Cheng's corpse on the ground, the corners of the King of Thailand's mouth twitched slightly, and then he snorted coldly: "I don't understand? What else do I not understand? ”
Stand up. The King of Thailand stood with his hands in his hands. He shouted in a low voice: "Huang Zong! ”
The second light figure of a tanuki quietly landed in front of the King of Thailand, knelt down, and did not look at the corpse that was still flowing with blood beside him.
"Huang Zong. From today onwards, you take Yang Cheng's place and do my best for me, remember, I don't like to see failure! ”
"Yes, Lord!"
"Is it clear that the envoy of the Turkic Mur Khan is there?"
"Your Lord. They're coming. ”
"Did they say when they would help me with the troops?"
The messenger said. The Mur Khan is in the midst of a battle with the Bone Khan, and it is too risky to send troops to help you at this time, unless"
"Unless what?" A little anger rose between the king's eyebrows, making his originally handsome face look extremely hideous.
"Unless the Lord can give them another 1,000 catties of gold, 100,000 quintals of grain and grass, and 50,000 catties of fine iron, and if the Lord ascends the throne as emperor, he will pawn all the land and people north of the Yellow River and give them all the land and people to Sip, then they will be willing to send troops
"These Turkic barbarians! It's too much to deceive people! The King of Thailand clenched his fists and smashed the coffee table carved by wood red. There was burning anger in his eyes.
Huang Zong lowered his head, not daring to speak.
There was a long silence. The King of Thailand sighed: "Promise them, I fell into Fang Zheng's trap, and the plan has been disrupted by Fang Zheng." If I don't strike first, I'll be in a desperate situation."
Immediately, the king of Thailand raised his head, and his eyes emitted a terrifying fierce light: "Whoever takes something from me, I will ask for it back a hundred times and a thousand times in the future!" ”
"You said that there were Turks in Yangzhou City?" Fang Zheng stood up in shock, raised his right hand high, and wanted to slap it on the table with one palm, but then suddenly realized, hurriedly withdrew his hand, and glanced at the hard-as-iron mahogany table with a palpitating face.
Han Yizhen sneered, and then immediately straightened his face again, his beautiful eyes turned, and he looked at the flower hall quickly.
Wen Sen looked at Han Yizhen, and then said respectfully: "My lord, Miss Han is right, and her subordinates have also found out that there are dozens of Turkic people in Yangzhou City in recent days. Most of them stayed in inns, stayed for a day or two and then left the city, and then after a few days, they entered the city again, and so on several times, and their whereabouts were very strange. ”
Fang Zheng frowned. He felt that something was wrong.
"What are the Turks doing in the territory of our Hua Dynasty? And also go deep into the Jiangnan in the hinterland of our Hua Dynasty, what is the purpose of this move? ”
"The last time the Turks entered the city was three days ago. At that time, the adults were still on their way to Yangzhou, and their subordinate brothers reported that the Turks had only stayed in a hurry. He left the city in an hour, and never came again. The brothers visited the nearby counties and townships, but they were nowhere to be found, as if they had disappeared out of thin air. ”
"How is the battle on their steppe? Are the two khans still at war for the legitimacy of the Khan's throne? ”
"Last month, there was a military report from the north that the two khans were still fighting. However, due to the spring season, it is the time for cattle and sheep to graze and breed, so the herdsmen on both sides have begun to be busy migrating and grazing, and there has been a temporary truce between the tribes, and there is occasional friction, and it is only a small-scale sporadic battle
"Also. Recently, there was news from Qizhou Mansion that there was a Turkic army of more than 20,000 people traveling outside the country, I don't know which Khan they belonged to, and the dozens of Turks in Yangzhou City had nothing to do with the Turkic soldiers and horses outside the country
Fang Zheng gritted his teeth. Scolded: "Damn! These Beiyi can't let them stop! As soon as they stopped, they began to fight the idea of our Hua Dynasty
Han Yizhen frowned and said: "If the king of Thailand colludes with the Turks and the two sides join forces to make trouble, things will not be good,"
Fang Zheng was taken aback. Han Yizhen's words just hit the nail on the head of what he had been worried about.
Wen Sen said cautiously: "My lord, this matter is very important, it is better to send the news to the capital, tell the emperor, and ask the officials of the Honglu Temple to summon the Turkic envoys, or you can know their intentions."
Qi Zheng shook his head and said: "This matter should not be publicized, now our biggest enemy is the king of Thailand, if the king of Thailand is caught, we can solve the affairs of Jiangnan without spending a single soldier, and the Turks can't afford to turn up the storm, forgive his small 20,000 horses and horses will not dare to openly attack the city of our Hua Dynasty." ”
I thought about it. Fang Zheng ordered Wen Sen to continue to send people out to inquire about the news of the King of Thailand, and Wen Sen took the order.
Sit in the flower hall. Fang Zheng still muttered to himself: "Where is the King of Thailand hiding?" What the hell are the Turks trying to do? ”
Fei Yizhen on the side sat quietly for a while, and when he saw Fang Zheng's incomprehensible appearance, he said, "Lord Fang." Sitting here and thinking about it, you can't think of an answer."
Fang Zheng raised his eyes to look at her: "What do you mean?" ”
Han Yizhen pursed his lips and said: "The gentleman is sensitive to words and deeds, Yangzhou City is the fiefdom of the King of Thailand, why don't you go out for a walk and look at the folk customs, maybe you may not have gains." ”
Fang Zheng thought for a moment, then his eyes lit up, his face showed a look of understanding, and he stared at Fu Yizhen with a bit of excitement and excitement.
Seeing this, Han Yizhen unconsciously pursed his lips and smiled.
A smart person can understand it at a glance, and although this Lord Qincha is a little shameless, he is not stupid.
Who knew that Fang Zheng excitedly said something very unexpected to her. made her almost unable to control herself, and she strangled him to death with hatred.
"You...... Are you asking me out to go shopping? Ah...... But I have a wife, Ye Fangzheng looks very shy.
