Chapter 240: See Jiangnan Supervisor Again
In the county government of Taizhou City, Zhao Cheng was packing up his things in a panic with a few doormen.
"Hurry, hurry! Let's go! Zhao Cheng carried a burden on his back, and while running out, he urged the doormen.
"Let's go!" The doormen also followed behind Zhao Cheng and began to run away.
They hurriedly ran towards the north city gate, at this moment, Ying Qiong had already led the army to capture the south city gate, and the army was entering the city.
Among the captives who surrendered, Fan Chuan kept watching, searching, and asking, and there seemed to be no shadow of Zhao Cheng.
"Mansion Marshal, there is no trace of Zhao Cheng, Xu is running away in disguise." Fan Chuan reported.
"Send someone immediately and search the whole city!" Ying Qiong decisively ordered that if Zhao Cheng was allowed to escape, he would definitely fan the flames among the clans and resurrect the ashes.
"Yes, Marshal!" Fan Chuan raised his eyes and looked at this young marshal, he was a little admired, at a young age, he was already a prince, and he was decisive in killing, not at all like his father.
Fan Chuan was about to leave, but was suddenly stopped by Ying Qiong.
"Wait, you're a Xuanzhou general, why don't you wear armor?" Ying Qiong asked sternly, when he first arrived, he saw this kid in the camp was very prominent, wearing a white robe, clean, like a scholar, and when he asked, he knew that he was the commander of the five thousand Xuanzhou army, but it was in the camp, and he didn't care about it. But today, when the army is fighting, how can the general not wear battle armor? How can military discipline be child's play? The Xuanzhou Army is too unreasonable.
"Back to the mansion, the kid is not a Xuanzhou general." Fan Chuan answered honestly.
"Oh? So who are you? Why in the Xuanzhou Army? Ben Shuai always thought that you were my Xuanzhou general. Ying Qiong was taken aback, isn't it a Xuanzhou general? Who is that? How could Wei Jin send such a young man to lead an army of five thousand......
"The kid was originally after the Fan family in Fancheng, and then he ran around with the boss, and the boss accepted me as an apprentice." Fan Chuan said quietly.
"Apprentice?" Ying Qiong was surprised that Wei Jin had accepted an apprentice...... However, he turned out to be the queen of the Fan family, although he understood Wei Jin's intentions, but what was so special about this kid that Wei Jin could take a fancy to him.
"Kid Fan Chuan is the apprentice of the boss!" Fan Chuan was very proud, looked up at Ying Qiong, and said loudly.
"Since he is the apprentice of the old boss, then Ben Shuai is naturally relieved, go, take your men and horses, and arrest Zhao Cheng back for me!" Ying Qiong said with a serious face, but in his heart he wanted to test this Fan Chuan, to see if he could be of great use, don't Wei Jin was poured with ecstasy soup, now Yangzhou, I have to be cautious, if I am not careful, I will lose all the plates.
"The kid should do his best, but Zhao Cheng, Li Shi, Qian Wei and others have been planning for a long time, I'm afraid that they have long been prepared to deal with the situation at this time." Fan Chuan analyzed, judging from the previous situation, Zhao Cheng is a person with some means, otherwise he would not have chosen the battlefield in Li Shi's Taizhou, he could obviously start an incident in Fengzhou.
"You can do it, Ben Shuai only needs the result." Ying Qiong listened to Fan Chuan's words, and still agreed with his opinion in his heart.
"Boy understands!" Fan Chuan responded with his fists clenched, then turned around and left, and began to search the city with his headquarters, and of course, he also sent people to the Li Mansion as soon as possible.
Ying Qiong looked at this Wei Jin's apprentice, and sighed for a while, boss, did you take a hostage or take an apprentice, I can't understand it, since you are your apprentice, ...... Where on earth should I put him? Do you mean that he is worthy of the next Grand Governor?
Ying Qiong thought a little far, and suddenly had some more troubles.
"Ying Shuai, congratulations!" The sealing knife came with a bloody face.
"It's not the time to be happy, it's just the beginning...... I always feel this Zhao Cheng...... And the back hand! Ying Qiong frowned and sighed.
"With such a brave and warlike new army, no matter what he does, Ying Shuai will definitely be able to eradicate it in one fell swoop!" Fengdao couldn't help but praise the soldiers of the new army in Yangzhou, this battle, his own Shence army did not make a move, it was over, and I have to admit that the combat power of the new army in Yangzhou is not to be underestimated...... No wonder Xiao Sima said that the purpose of the Three Governments Alliance is not simple, and now it seems that this is indeed the case.
"By the general's auspicious words, the general's words, isn't he going to lead the army back?" Ying Qiong was keenly aware of what Feng Dao was thinking.
"Ah...... Yes, there was news from Luoyang, saying that Xiao Sima sent back the order urgently, and asked me to lead the army back to Luoyang to stand by. Feng Dao smiled embarrassedly, although he also wanted to fight a few more battles in Yangzhou, but there was no way, Yan Sima specially sent back the order from the front line, thinking that something was going to happen, and it was better for him to go back honestly.
"Oh? Is there something that matters? Ying Qiong asked in surprise, there was an urgent order from the front line of the western border, could it be that something big happened?
"This ...... I don't know below, the letter didn't say it, I only know when I go back, but it should be a very important thing, Xiao Sima has always been smart, and he must have calculated something. Feng Dao said seriously.
"It's okay, the general has been working hard for Yangzhou for many days, Ying is grateful, if there is a need for me in Yangzhou in the future, the general just speaks!" Ying Qiong solemnly bowed to the sealing knife to thank him for his help.
"Huh? Where is it, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, and besides, Ying Shuai wants to thank you, or thank my family marshal and Xiao Sima......" Feng Dao was taken aback by Ying Qiong's words, and hurriedly replied, If you need Yangzhou to help in the future, you can't open your mouth yourself......
"Then the general will leave it here, take care all the way! There is enough grain and grass in Taizhou City, and the general can use it himself! Ying Qiong said generously.
"Thank you, I said goodbye to Ying Shuai! There will be a period later! "Seal the knife arched.
The two said goodbye, and the sealed knife led the army to find the granary in the city.
Ying Qiong hurried to the county capital.
……
In the county government, Li Shi was carried in by several soldiers with big shoulders and round waists like catching chickens, and threw them into the hall.
Li Shi's face was pale and bloodless, his whole body trembled, looking down at the floor, and his hands were clutching the placket of his clothes.
"Hurry up and give Li Gongzi a seat!" Ying Qiong sat in the hall and patted the table and said.
Several soldiers came over again, set up Li Shi and put it on the chair beside him.
Li Shi secretly glanced at Ying Qiong in horror, and found that Ying Qiong was looking at him, so he hurriedly lowered his head in fright.
"Li Gongzi, don't be afraid, Ben Shuai knows that you are also coerced by that Zhao Cheng, so you have to do it, and now Zhao Cheng is fleeing alone, it can be seen that he is a treacherous person, not enough to be compared with Gongzi. Ben Shuai only took Zhao Cheng to ask for the blame this time, Li Gongzi can rest assured! Ying Qiong said calmly, his tone very gentle.
After listening to Ying Qiong's words, Li Shi's tightly condensed heart was instantly relieved, and he let out a heavy breath, he was still alive, and he didn't have to die.
"Thank you......" Li Shi said with palpitations.
"Childe, don't be in a hurry to thank me, there is one more thing that Childe has to promise me." Ying Qiong said with a smile.
Li Shi looked up at Ying Qiong, he knew that it was not so simple, people are swordsmen, I am fish and meat, whoever comes, they all want to cut a piece of meat on their bodies, he can now understand that their Li family, no matter how big the business is, no matter how rich they are, it is just something in other people's pockets, and they can take it at any time if they want to.
"Marshal, please speak!" What can Li Shi do? In front of him, but the handsome of Yangzhou Mansion is the prince who can pretend to be dumb for decades! Judging from the fact that he accepted Yangzhou Mansion, with such stamina and means, if he didn't have great ambitions, what could support him?
"Li's firm, in the future, it will be renamed Yangzhou Mansion Li firm, this marshal will make you the governor of Jiangnan, from now on, your Li firm is my Yangzhou official firm, what does Li Gongzi think?" Ying Qiong raised his eyebrows and asked Li Shi.
Li Shi fell silent after hearing this, he looked down at the floor, his hands clutching the placket of his clothes. Jiangnan Governor's ...... It's a familiar name, a familiar story, it seems that I've heard it somewhere......
"Does Li Gongzi think it's impossible?" Ying asked with a straight face.
"No, no, it's all up to the decision of the marshal, and there is no opinion below." Li Shi couldn't refuse, he couldn't think about it, and hurriedly agreed.
"Good! So much better! Hahaha! Childe is really a person who knows the times. Ying Qiong laughed happily, in this way, he could not only control the Li family, but also control the Li family's firm, and bring new financial resources to Yangzhou Mansion...... Kill two birds with one stone!
"That'...... That...... Next...... Can you go? Li Shi asked in fear.
"Yes, you can, when Ben Shuai quells the rebellion, I will make you an official! Since Li Gongzi is an official in Yangzhou, he is naturally free to come and go! Ying Qiong said with a smile.
"Then don't bother the marshal, under the ...... Xiaguan ...... Retirement. Li Shi felt a pang of sadness in his heart, if he hadn't endured it, he would probably have burst out of his tears.
Ying Qiong nodded, and Li Shi quickly fled the county mansion.
On the way back, Li Shi seemed to have lost his soul, and just now, he remembered a story......
Fancheng story!
