"Do it!" At the same time that Lu Yan would shout these two words, another voice arrived at Wuli Pavilion at the same time, "Lord Teng has arrived!" Sheng Yi, who had already drawn his sword out of its sheath, paused and looked at Lu Yanhui, who stood up and stared at the group outside the pavilion. Teng Hui strode into the pavilion, Yue Yunfeng followed, the shout just now came from Yue Yunfeng's voice, in addition to these two people, there were dozens of soldiers lined up.

"Lord Teng is so big!" In his opinion, even if he is the captain of the Xuanjia Army, he can't escape the trap he set alone, not to mention the extraordinary martial arts Sheng Yi, it would have been easy to kill the two, but now Teng Hui actually led the troops to make trouble, which really surprised Lu Yanhui, after all, Teng Hui has been submissive to himself for many years.

"I've seen Lord Lu!" Teng Hui clasped his hands into fists and saluted, pretending not to see Lu Yanhui's face, nor to hear the irony in his words, and replied after saluting respectfully: "The lower official is here to report the killing of Master Zhang." ”

Lu Yanhui glanced at Sheng Yi beside him, Sheng Yi slowly withdrew his sword, and the rest of the soldiers who were ready to make a move around him also relaxed at the same time.

"Lord Teng, as the official of Pingzhou's parents, this news is really too ill-informed, it was already three days ago that my righteous son thirteen was killed, and I only came to report it now, if it is in the army, this delay in the military situation should be dealt with by military law!" Lu Yanhui first stared at Teng Hui, and then led the topic to Xuan Shaoning, "This official has no military experience, but Captain Xuan knows this matter best." ”

"Since Lord Lu asked, then the last general will talk about the military discipline of the Xuanjia Army, delaying the military situation is a big crime, but the Xuanjia Army has always asked the reason before dealing with it, but ....... Military discipline does not involve officialdom. ”

"Hmph, it is said that the Xuanjia Army acts above board and speaks outspokenly, but today's look at Captain Xuan's actions makes this official look at the Xuanjia Army differently!"

"Lord Lu" Teng Hui said: "For a long time, the affairs of Ping and Deng Prefectures are in charge of Lord Lu, and the opening of the stone field is entrusted to Lord Zhang, the official has not asked, the Pingzhou Mansion is not short from the opening of the stone field, and the lower officials have rarely asked about political affairs over the years, so they did not get the news until three days after this incident, and the lower officials came immediately as soon as they got the news. The words were plain and respectful.

"Okay, you Teng Hui! I haven't made any political achievements over the years, but my scheming has deepened a lot, and I have learned to point fingers and scold Huai! Since you have brought so many government soldiers here, you must be arresting the murderer, so let's do it! ”

Teng Hui glanced at Xuan Shaoning and replied: "Xia Guan was also going to come to see Master Lu with Xuan Xiao Lieutenant to explain the reason for this matter, and he didn't want to hear that Lord Lu invited Xuan Xiao Lieutenant to a banquet after arriving at the quarry, although Xia Guan didn't understand the inside story, he had to rush to Wuli Pavilion immediately." ”

Without waiting for Lu Yan to speak, Xuan Shaoning said first: "Lord Teng, it is indeed a bit reckless to eliminate evil in the Pingzhou territory, and I regretted it afterwards, so I hurriedly wrote a letter to ask King Yu for my guilt, and I wanted to inform Lord Teng as well, but unfortunately I received an invitation from Lord Lu, so I came to Lord Lu's banquet first, and asked Lord Teng to forgive my sins." ”

"Where did Captain Xuan come from? Pingzhou affairs have always been handled by Lord Lu, Xuanxiao Lieutenant should be like this, originally the lower officials thought that the matter was serious, but they didn't expect that Lord Lu did not ask for the guilt, and the lower officials were also deeply impressed by Lord Lu's broad-mindedness and bearing to focus on the overall situation! After that, he bowed deeply to Lu Yanhui.

At this time, Lu Yanhui's face was already extremely ugly, as if he was hanging on a layer of frost, and killing intent flashed in his eyes. "The two of you sing and harmonize, and you cooperate so well, I really didn't expect you two to plan to deal with me a long time ago, hum! Today, the two of you will be martyred for my son together, Xuan Shaoning will intercept Teng Hui for fear of crime, and we will kill the murderer! With Lu Yanhui's shout, the scene was tense again, and it was about to start, and King Ling appeared outside the Wuli Pavilion at this time.

"Lord Lu is so imposing, this is going to do something to the court officials?" King Ling rode on a horse, looking at the upcoming show in the pavilion with a pleasant expression of a spectator.

"It's before noon when we're leaving, and an hour later, it's almost midnight, and you're going to get moving!" The words Xuan Shaoning confessed before leaving kept circling in Ji Wenhan's mind, he looked up at the sky from time to time, and was silently calculating the time in his heart.

"It's here!" The sun in the sky began to tilt, and so did the reflection that had been cast on the tent, not far from what I had expected. Ji Wenhan walked to the middle of the mountain opener who was still digging the mountain and coughed vigorously for a while, and suddenly one of the mountain openers fell to the ground and convulsed, and with the convulsions of his body, his mouth kept foaming out.

"Oops, my brother is sick!"

"What should I do, I'm not lightly ill, come on!"

The scene suddenly became chaotic, and several guards walked over quickly to check the situation, and at the same time waved the whip in their hands to drive everyone away.

"I'll get back to work! What's there to see! A leading soldier stood at the front with a fierce look, and whipped at the nearest mountain pioneers, and when the whip went down, there was an extra blood mark on his body. He glanced at the mountain opener lying on the ground, and his face was full of disdain, "How long have you been doing this, and you fell ill?" ”

"What, do you mean this brother is faking his illness?" Ji Wen replied hatefully, "If you hadn't repeatedly oppressed us, denied us food, and didn't give us rest, how could we be so weak?" This brother hasn't been able to eat enough for three days in a row, and not only are you not saving people, but you're still talking cool here! ”

The leading soldier whipped the whip in his hand on Ji Wenhan's chest, and immediately pulled out a hole in the outer shirt and rolled the flesh inside. "What are you to dare to talk nonsense here!"

"Where did I say something wrong? When Captain Xuan returns, he will do justice for us! ”

"Haha, your Xuan Lieutenant can't come back!"

"What did you say?"

"I'm not afraid to tell you the truth, the surnamed Xuan dared to kill our Lord Zhang, today is the day when he pays for his life, you filthy pioneers hurry up and work for me, or see how I clean you up!"

"It turns out that you set up a bureau to kill Captain Xuan!" Ji Wenhan pretended to be extremely resentful, "We are going to rescue Captain Xuan, we want to be free!" ”

"Yes, we're going to save Captain Xuan! We want to be free! ”

Soon the hundreds of pioneers on the scene began to shout slogans in unison, and the soldiers present were very frightened, and the leader reluctantly pretended to squeeze out the words, "You guys..... You're going to rebel...... Do you know the consequences? ”

"Let's not be bullied like this anymore, brothers, we're reversed!" Ji Wenhan raised his arms and shouted, and the scene responded with thunder, picked up the tools in his hands, and waved them towards the soldiers on duty. The defenders relied on the weapons in their hands and began to suppress the mountain workers, and the two sides fought inextricably for a while. The leading soldier saw that the momentum was not right, and the number of people on his side was not dominant after all, so he climbed a horse in a panic and ran in the direction of Wuli Pavilion, hoping to move the rescuers. After arriving at Wuli Pavilion, because he was so flustered, he ignored the situation at the scene and ran directly towards Lu Yanhui.

"My lord! My lord! ”

Lu Yanhui really couldn't imagine that King Ling would appear here at this time, all that was turning in his mind was how to deal with the words, and when he was about to make up a set of words to explain the current situation, he heard someone shouting, and just wanted to say something to stop it.

"The quarry rioters!"

One sentence instantly mixed up the originally complicated situation and made it even more chaotic: Lu Yanhui's forehead was twisted into a Sichuan character; Xuan Shaoning and Teng Hui looked at each other, their expressions relaxed; King Ling was even more interested, but the corners of his mouth rose and he smiled.

"Lord Lu, the quarry is in turmoil, shouldn't troops be sent to control it?" King Ling asked Lu Yanhui.

"Your Highness is right! Xia Guan will deal with it, and I hope that His Royal Highness will go to Xia Guan's mansion to rest first, Sheng Yi ......."

"It's not too late to go to the mansion later, this king wants to deal with the chaos with Lord Lu." King Ling directly rejected Lu Yanhui's proposal, "Why don't you go with this king?" ”

"Obey" Teng Hui was simple and clear, but it made Lu Yanhui grit his teeth with hatred, and wanted to persuade King Ling again, but King Ling had already turned over and waited for departure, so even if Lu Yanhui was unwilling, he could only lead the way in front of him.

When King Ling rushed to the quarry with a team of men, the two sides of the scene were almost inseparable: although there were many quarrymen, they had no military skills and were hungry for a long time, and their strength and accuracy were far apart; Although the number of soldiers is small, after all, they are militarily trained and have weapons to defend themselves, and they can fight to a draw.

"His Royal Highness King Ling has arrived, don't stop quickly!" With a shout, King Ling's personal soldiers immediately launched an encirclement. Sheng Yi glanced at Lu Yanhui, and after receiving an affirmative expression, he also gave the same order to surround the soldiers behind him. When the soldiers fighting in the quarry saw the reinforcements coming, they immediately became more ambitious, and quickly retreated to the surroundings of the King of Ling, and continued to look arrogantly at the ragged quarrymen in front of them, thinking that this time these rebellious people would definitely die. And Xu Chengxian, who was standing behind Xuan Shaoning, made a gesture towards Ji Wenhan in the crowd, and the latter also retreated with all the workers to keep a certain distance from the Lingwang team.

King Ling rode on his horse and looked coldly at the chaotic people in front of him: his face was hungry, his body was stiff, his eyes were full of terror, and he was holding a quarrying shovel tightly in his hand, and his expression was very uneasy.

"Do you want to rebel?" King Ling spoke coldly. Before waiting for the workers' answers, Lu Yanhui preemptively said: "Your Highness, these tired people have never worked well, a few days ago, they were instigated to kill Zhang Shisan, who was in charge of the quarry, and today they gathered to make trouble, obviously against the imperial court, Your Highness is just right, let the lower officials clear them in one fell swoop today!" ”

Lu Yanhui sued the wicked first, not only characterizing the quarryman as a chaotic person but also insinuating Xuan Shaoning by the way, obviously wanting to strike first, Xuan Shaoning and Xu Chengxian couldn't help but sweat their palms, Teng Hui also frowned, wanting to say something but couldn't find suitable words for a while.

"We're not rioters!" Ji Wenhan shouted, "His Royal Highness King Ling, you can come to Pingzhou, it is the welfare of the people of Pingzhou, and it is the welfare of our workers who have been oppressed and abused for many years!" Your Highness, please give us a chance to speak, we have always believed that His Royal Highness the King of Tombs is impartial and is the pillar of my beam! ”

"Shut up! Come on, hurry up and put them all in place! ”

"Who would dare to do it? Lord Lu, is this going to be the master of this king? King Ling heard the flattering words, and his heart was faintly happy, but he didn't expect Lu Yanhui to make an assertion, and he was immediately annoyed, "Just this move, you can imagine the usual majesty of Lord Lu!" ”

"Don't dare, don't dare, Your Highness is serious, the lower officials are just afraid of ......"

"Afraid of what? Look at how they look like they can be your men's opponents? If your soldiers can't even deal with these quarrymen, what's the use of keeping them! "King Ling is already disgusted with this Lu Yanhui, "This king is coming to investigate on the order of the emperor, if you have anything to say, you might as well say it directly, if it is found to be true, this king will naturally deal with it impartially, if you dare to deceive, this king will not be soft!" ”

"Yes, more His Royal Highness! The grass man's name is Ji Wenhan, he has lived in the quarry since he was a child, and he began to mine stones at the age of seven until now, like all the quarrymen on the scene, he quarries every day except for quarrying, but he is never allowed to eat enough for the physical work he does, and he will be whipped as long as he hesitates to work. The killing of Zhang 13 mentioned by Master Lu was simply his own fault. Zhang 13 is vicious, and exploiting us is doing everything he can, what is the value of a stone? We can only get a meagre ten cents a month, and today a big brother can't move a stone due to illness, in exchange for a whipping, if we don't make a move, he will be beaten to death! How many brothers have been killed like this over the years, and please ask His Royal Highness the King of Ling to make decisions for us! After Ji Wenhan finished speaking, he knelt down, followed by all the quarrymen behind him.

Xuan Shaoning obviously found that King Ling's face had changed, and he didn't know whether he was happy or worried when he thought that the agreed plan had a spoiler, he peeked at Lu Yanhui again, at this time his face was already pale, and his eyes seemed to be open and bloody, if it weren't for King Ling's presence, Ji Wenhan would have been skinned and cramped at this moment, eating meat and drinking blood.

"Oh?" King Ling's eyebrows were provoked, "Listen, quarrymen, since this king is here, he will definitely find out the truth of the matter, and today's matter will be put on hold for the time being, and you all return to your residence and collect your troops!" ”

Although Lu Yanhui knew that King Ling was not a good person, he never expected that he would make such an arrangement, and was about to say something to stop him, but was interrupted by King Ling, "Lord Lu, you are leading the way ahead, by the way, and you are coming with this king!" Xuan Shaoning clearly saw that King Ling pointed to Ji Wenhan.
