Chapter 114: Stratagem
"Master Jiang, I can't help it!"
Liu Xi hurriedly stepped forward to support Jiang Xin, in order to protect the people, Jiang Xin took all the charges on his body, and his love for the people made him greatly respected. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
This time, Jiang Xin didn't get up and knelt on the ground, even if Liu Xi, Wu Quan and others were dissuaded, he still knelt on his knees, his body was half-prostrate, "I beg the lord to punish." ”
"My lord, the last general has known Master Jiang for many years, he has a very stubborn temper, if the adult does not agree, I am afraid he will not get up."
Wu Quan whispered, his eyes became more and more worried, he didn't want to see the people in chaos and Jiang Xin being disposed of, Wu Quan couldn't figure out Liu Xi's heart at the moment, if Jiang Xin's move offended this young man, then how to end it?
After all, Liu Xi took the lives of several bandits just now, and this momentum had already shocked everyone present, if he wanted to severely punish Jiang Xin or severely punish the troubled people, even if it was Wu Quan, there was no way.
Qin Cha is acting on behalf of the Son of Heaven, he is just a martial artist, he eats the king, acts loyally, and opposes the court, Wu Quan can't do it, and he never dares to think about it.
I was so nervous in my heart that I forgot even the faint pain in my shoulder, staring at the tiger eyes, looking at Liu Xi, my breathing stopped involuntarily, and the battlefield had been on the battlefield for many years, Wu Quan was rarely very nervous.
"Okay, the Son of Heaven let Xi be the Qincha, in order to appease the people, Lord Jiang, you are not doing things well, and it is a big crime to cause the people to be displaced. However, the sage has words, and if he listens to it, he will be clear, and if he believes it, he will be dark, and the court trial also needs a few witnesses, and the official can't be a confused judge who is confused about the case, so he will find someone to ask. ”
As he spoke, Liu Xi walked to the long-faced man who was squatting on the ground with a face full of remorse and said, "This official asks you, who is your surname and where does you live?" ”
The latter was stunned for a while, then came back to his senses, lowered his head, did not dare to look at Liu Xi, and stammered in a cowardly voice, "Lord Hui, the grass people's house is in Xiyu Town on the south side of Xiapi County, and the name is Shan Hong. ”
After that, Shan Hong actually knelt down with a bang, and kept kowtowing to Liu Xi and said, "Master Qincha, the grass people were bewitched by the traitors, and they did something wrong in a moment of confusion, and they also asked the adults to be merciful and let go of the wives and children in the grass people's family, they didn't know. ”
The forehead knocked on the ground, and the sound of knocking was heard, and Shan Hong kowtowed to Liu Xi more than a dozen times in the blink of an eye, and he did this, and the rest of the people who were at a loss also kowtowed, saying words begging Liu Xi to be kind and spare his life.
"Get up, when did the official say that he would punish you, the people who made the rebellion were Hun spies, and you just happened to meet them when you entered the city."
Hearing Liu Xi say this, the person with a flexible brain was immediately stunned, and then hurriedly kowtowed, "Thank you, Lord Qincha!" ”
"Great......"
Wu Wei whispered happily, clutched the nine-ring knife in his hand, and the iron ring on the back of the knife collided with the crisp sound of a jingling bell.
On the one hand, Wu Quan's brows were still tightly wrinkled, looking at the pardoned people hugging each other and crying, and then at Jiang Xin who was kneeling on the ground, and I didn't know that the wrinkles on his forehead carved by the wind and frost were a little deeper.
The accusations of the people's rebellion can be erased without a trace, but won't the rest of the guilt fall on Jiang Xin?
Just when Wu Quan was worried, he saw Liu Xi and Shan Hongdao again, "Shan Yizi, do you think Master Jiang is guilty?" ”
As soon as these words came out, the originally hilarious scene suddenly fell silent, and Shan Hong was even more frightened, he was just a flat-headed commoner, and he hadn't even walked into the yamen on weekdays, so how could he dare to talk about the good and bad of the county lord?
"Lord Qincha Mingjian, the county lord loves the people like a son, it is the sin of the grass people, and I hope that Lord Qincha will not embarrass the county lord!"
On the side, an older man knelt on the ground with a plop, kowtowed to Liu Xi again, and saw that Shan Hong hadn't spoken yet, so he couldn't help waving his hand at him, "Shan Xiaoxiao, don't hurry up and speak!" ”
"Lord Qincha, Lord Jiang is a good official, it's all our fault, I hope Lord forgives the county, and the grass people are willing to be punished."
"We are willing to be punished."
The voice was not very neat, but it was very resolute, and soon, more than a thousand people knelt on the ground again.
The scene in front of him was something that Liu Xi had never imagined, although he guessed that Jiang Xin's temperament was noble, but he really didn't expect such a situation.
Perhaps, these people were bewitched by others, and they entered the city just to fill their stomachs, which was so simple, and when they saw Jiang Xin being punished for what they did, they were uneasy to plead.
How difficult the people's livelihood is, all they want is to survive, and today they are holding swords, which shows that the northern land is gradually falling apart due to the disaster, and this crisis is more and more in need of a great sage like Jiang Xin who is hidden in the border.
After making up his mind, Liu Xi turned around and walked to Jiang Xin's side, coughing lightly, and when everyone saw that he was about to speak, they stopped their voices and looked up, their eyes full of begging.
"Master Jiang, you are a good official, no wonder you in this matter."
Jiang Xin shook his head, "My lord, if you don't ask about the crimes of the lower officials, won't the court ask about the crimes of the lower officials in the future, won't you be implicated by the lower officials?" ”
"Haha......"
Liu Xi laughed out loud, and stepped forward to support Jiang Xin, "Lord Jiang, I think you don't know what Liu Xi said when he entered Yangqucheng yesterday, if the official is not in charge of the people, it is better to go home and plant two acres of thin fields, not to mention that if the court asks for guilt, Liu Xi doesn't care about this matter, last night I killed the county commander of Yangqucheng County and others without asking for instructions, if it is investigated, this is enough for me to drink a pot, this matter in front of me is not to be surprised, Lord Jiang!" ”
As soon as these words came out, Jiang Xinjian's eyebrows trembled, "My lord, you mean that you cleared the traitors in Yangqu City?" ”
Liu Xi heard the word traitor in his words, and immediately understood Jiang Xin's position, put down the hand holding him, and said, "If these thieves are not killed, how can they return my northern Xinjiang Lang Lang Qiankun!" ”
"Your Excellency is wise!"
Jiang Xin bent over and said solemnly.
Soon, the outcasts entered the city, and the thin belt with kind eyes but red and haggard eyes walked to the makeshift site in the city.
Liu Xi went to the government with Jiang Xin, sat down, and didn't even serve tea, so he directly asked about the current situation in Xiapicheng.
Hearing this, Jiang Xin hurriedly straightened his figure, Liu Xi rushed from Yangqu City overnight, he naturally knew that Yangqu City must be in a bad situation, so he also came out with the situation of Xiapi.
After listening, Liu Xi couldn't help but take a deep breath, and then he felt that his chest was not so depressed.
"Lord Jiang, speaking of which, I'm afraid that the food in Xiapi City will last for more than ten days?"
With a slight bow, Jiang Xin said, "The people around Xiapi City come in a lot every day, and there are more than 3,000 stones of grain in the city. ”
At the beginning of the year, there is still half a month to go.
Jiang Xin's face also showed a look of worry, and he continued to say to Liu Xi, "My lord, when will the relief food from the imperial court be delivered?" ”
The food for disaster relief had already begun to be arranged by the imperial court when Liu Xi left Beijing, but he did not know when it would be transported to these three cities.
After a while, Liu Xi said softly, "It should be almost there, Liu Xi has no skills, and Picheng still has to rely on Master Jiang now, and I have to go to Yecheng." ”
When Liu Xi got up, Jiang Xin hurriedly said, "My lord has worked hard, but there is Cao Jun in Yecheng, and it is more than enough to last for more than ten days." ”
"Oh?"
Seeing that Liu Xi had doubts, Jiang Xin smiled, "Xiaguan and that Cao Jun are also old acquaintances, his ability is far above me, Xiaguan dares to conclude that the situation in Yecheng must be much better than that in Xiapi." ”
This is also true, otherwise no one would have sent someone to bring food to Xiapi.
Liu Xi immediately blurted out, "Since this is the case, then I have to go and transport some food from Yecheng to Yangqu for emergency." ”
"Alas......"
Jiang Xin stroked his beard, "I'm afraid it's also difficult, then Cao Jun only sent food because of the danger in Xiapi, and a thousand stones is his greatest ability, and I'm afraid there is not much left." The lower official dared to ask, who is there to escort the adults? ”
Although he didn't understand why Jiang Xin asked like this, Liu Xi still responded, "The flying armor soldiers of the first battalion." ”
"Since it's a flying armor, then the lower officials have a plan for adults to consider."
"Please also ask Master Jiang to explain!"
Overjoyed, Liu Xi stepped forward a few steps and walked to Jiang Xin's side.
"Xia Guan heard that there are several big mountains outside Yangqu City, such as Wuziling and Xifeng Mountain, and there are many bandits in the mountains.
