Liu Kongzhao was stunned when he heard this, and he already scolded in his heart: "Okay, you tricky Ji Qingwen, give me the credit, just give me the credit, is it difficult to talk to me about the conditions?" ”

However, before it was time to turn his face with Ji Qingwen, Liu Kongzhao could only put a smile on his face and said, "If Lord Ji has anything to say, just say it." ”

Ji Qingwen said with a smile: "Lord Liu is really refreshing. If the lord wants to take Xu Hongru's body and report to the emperor, it's okay. However, I have three conditions, and I ask the lord to promise me. ”

"Sure enough! Sure enough, they negotiated terms with me. Ji Qingwen is a businessman, and his ability to negotiate conditions and prices is real, so I have to be careful! Liu Kongzhao kept reminding himself.

But he said: "That's natural, Lord Ji is willing to give me such a big credit, so naturally he has the capital to talk to me about the conditions." What are the conditions...... Lord Ji also made it clear that as long as I can do it, I will never refuse. ”

Ji Qingwen smiled: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say." My heart is not dark, and the conditions proposed are all acceptable to Lord Liu. ”

He paused, and then said: "First, our army has been fighting hard for days and is exhausted, please agree with Lord Liu, we will withdraw from Wenzhou City now, leave Zhejiang, and return to Suzhou to rest, I don't know if Lord can give in?" ”

Liu Kongzhao agreed without thinking about it.

You must know that the combat effectiveness of the Ming Wu Army under Ji Qingwen is amazing, but it is also the most unruly army, with this army dangling in front of him, it is like mixing a sand in Liu Kongzhao's eyes that cannot be washed away or moved, which makes him extremely uncomfortable. And now that the enemy is gone, there is no need for this sand anymore......

Therefore, when Ji Qingwen offered to withdraw the army and leave, Liu Kongzhao couldn't hide the joy in his heart and said: "This is how it should be." These brothers of the Ming Wu Army under Lord Ji have fought several bloody battles with Xu Hongru of the White Lotus Sect, which can be described as a great achievement. Now that I am extremely tired, I can go back and recuperate first. However, I also asked Lord Ji to draw up a list of meritorious soldiers, which I will naturally use in the meritorious service chapter for the emperor. ”

Ji Qingwen nodded, but did not answer, and then continued: "The second point is that these captured White Lotus Sect disciples also ask Lord Liu to have a heart of love for the people, remembering that they were just confused for a moment before accepting Xu Hongru's bewitchment, don't embarrass them first." ”

As for the handling of the chaotic people, Ji Qingwen has already suffered a loss after he fought with Li Zizi in Shaanxi, but he has always been a good young man who has been educated in the new socialist morality, and he still can't do anything to slaughter the people, so he has this request.

Liu Kongzhao said in embarrassment: "This is a little difficult to do. According to the usual practice, it seems that such a rebel bandit must be killed according to the ratio of two to one or three to one, otherwise such a large group of people will get together for fear of causing trouble. ”

Ji Qingwen said: "Then I have to ask Lord Liu to bother more." As for the food and living expenses of these White Lotus Sectists, they can all be paid from my account. Every White Lotus cultist here, a supply of one or two taels of silver a month, just trouble Lord Liu to come to Suzhou Weaving Yamen to reconcile with me. ”

As soon as Liu Kongzhao heard this, he was relieved, as long as someone was willing to pay, then he would just work hard to send someone to take care of these White Lotus Sectists. What's more, if you only want to eat well and don't want to eat well, that person only needs three to five dollars of silver every month is more than enough, and Ji Qingwen's bargaining chips of one or two silver per month are already very much leeway, Liu Kongzhao, as the person in charge, as long as he has the heart, can naturally embezzle a part of the boss from this money, and he can make another windfall.

So Liu Kongzhao said: "Lord Ji really loves the people like a son. However, what should be done with these White Lotus Sectists, I said it doesn't count, and it doesn't matter what Lord Ji said, how to deal with it has to wait for the will of the Holy Lord before it can be decided. ”

The first two things were not too difficult to do, so Liu Kongzhao agreed quite simply, so he continued to ask: "Lord Ji, what about the last thing?" ”

Ji Qingwen's expression suddenly became solemn, and he said, "Don't be busy, Lord Liu, before I say the last condition, I will ask you about one thing." ”

"Please."

"Lord Liu said before that the Zongren Mansion had asked the princes and lords for the emperor's opinions on the disposal of Yuan Chonghuan, I don't know how Lord Liu replied to the saint?" Ji Qingwen asked.

Liu Kongzhao didn't expect Ji Qingwen to ask about this matter, he was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "What else can I say?" Yuan Chonghuan has already touched the anger of the public, and there should indeed be an explanation, and he should indeed be punished. As for how to punish it...... That's not something that my little earl can put his beak in, it's all up to the Holy Commander's discretion. ”

Ji Qingwen nodded and said, "Lord Liu's words can be regarded as old and serious. ”

"You're polite, Lord Ji is polite." Liu Kongzhao was busy with two humble sentences.

Ji Qingwen said again: "That being the case, the third thing is ...... I haven't thought about it yet, but when I think about it, I'll ask Lord Liu to echo it from afar. Ji Qingwen laughed as he spoke.

Liu Kongzhao was a little misty by his laughter, so he had to laugh twice.

In this way, the corpse of the dead Xu Hongru, as an important target, was finally determined after the discussion of Ji Qingwen and Liu Kongzhao, who each had a ghost.

And Ji Qingwen and Liu Kongzhao, who had reached a consensus, walked out of the firewood room together with a satisfied smile at the same time.

Liu Kongzhao got benefits from Ji Qingwen, and his mood naturally became very good.

Although the sun has set now, the courtyard has not yet lit pine light and torches, and everything is immersed in darkness, but in Liu Kongzhao's eyes, the surroundings are unusually bright and bright.

He glanced at the yamen compound that originally belonged to the prefect of Wenzhou with a smile, and saw that the Ming Wu Army, the white pole soldiers, and the soldiers of the Beijing Division Battalion were all in place, and they looked orderly, and he couldn't help but pat Ji Qingwen's sycophants again: "Lord Ji really manages the army well." Although my ancestors followed my great-grandfather to fight in the army, Liu Bowen's skills have almost forgotten when they reach me. This method of leading the whole army, I still have to ask Lord Ji for advice. ”

Ji Qingwen couldn't help but say something about the scene, and said, "How can I have any skills to govern the army?" It's just that he led the troops in accordance with the military law of General Qi Jiguang, and what he paid attention to was just the word serious. As long as Lord Liu has a heart, he can also bring out a male teacher. ”

Liu Kongzhao's "male division" may not be able to bring it out, but the probability of bringing out a "bear division" is quite large.

As for whether the word "male" or the word "bear" in Ji Qingwen's mouth depends on Liu Kongzhao's own understanding.

Liu Kongzhao didn't seem to hear the meaning of Ji Qingwen's words, nodded thoughtfully, and said: "What Lord Ji said has benefited me a lot......

He raised his eyes and saw a person lying on a stretcher on the side, covered with a quilt, as if he was seriously injured, so he took two steps forward and said comfortingly: "This brother, but he was injured in the battle?" ”

As he spoke, he leaned down, as if to check on the man's injuries, but he was startled when he saw it, and said, "What...... How is it a woman? ”

It turned out that this person was not an outsider, it was Zhou Xiuying who was pointed out by Xu Hongru. Because she was sore, she couldn't move for the time being, so Ji Qingwen ordered someone to carry her out of the house, and was afraid that she would be weak and cold, so he covered her with a quilt again, but she was unexpectedly recognized by Liu Kongzhao.

This frightened Ji Qingwen hurriedly took two steps forward and explained: "Lord Liu, this is a mistake, this is not my brother of the Ming Wu Army, but the Shiqi Tusi team brought by General Qin Xiangzhen from Sichuan, and he can be regarded as a member of the white pole soldiers!" ”

"Oooh. I see. Liu Kongzhao suddenly realized, "I think, the Ming Wu Army uses the old general Qi Jiguang to rule the army, how can there be women in the army?" ”

As he spoke, he suddenly saw Qin Xiangzhen beside him, so he asked again, "Right?" General Qin? ”

When Liu Kongzhao asked, Qin Xiangzhen had not yet answered, but Ji Qingwen was already sweating profusely with fright.

You must know that now this lying Zhou Xiuying has a bit of a holiday with Qin Xiangzhen, if Qin Xiangzhen intends to frame her, as long as she points out the identity of Zhou Xiuying's White Lotus Sect saintess on the spot, she can reach the place of no return!
