One hundred and forty-eight begging for peace

Luo Xiucai walked to a nearby forest immediately after Li Buqi left, and the young lady dressed as a village girl jumped down from a tree and asked, "What did Li Buqi say?" ”

Luo Xiucai repeated what Li Buqi said, saying: "He didn't have a word to drag the bottom of the line, and now I don't know if I should believe him." ”

Ying Niangzi frowned and thought for a long time before saying, "Daddy once said that those who make light promises must not be trusted. Li Buqi can make all kinds of interests and disadvantages clear without concealment, and he does not force us to listen to him, which may be more credible than taking care of everything. The affairs of the government are not accurate, and if you are bent on recruiting peace, you will definitely be pitted. Li Buqi is right, it is better to ask for others than for yourself. ”

Luo Xiucai asked: "So do what Li Buqi said?" ”

"This matter needs to be carefully considered, let's go back and plan it."

So Luo Xiucai raised his head and called out to the people on the tree: "But what's the movement?" ”

A big man poked his head out of the branches and leaves, and said, "There is no movement." ”

"Alright, let's go back to the mountain." Luo Xiucai said a word, and then the three of them disappeared into the field with a few strong men with sharp blades.

Zhao Zhen read the battle story written by Song Yuanji, and immediately wrote a letter to Li Buqi himself, praising Li Buqi and instructing Li Buqi to exterminate all the thieves in Yingchang Mansion. Therefore, the Zhenwu Army was stationed outside Yangzhai County, except for daily drills, it was to stand still. Yangzhai County's catch is fast into the mountains, and the mountain people have a falling flower, and they dare not take a step into the mountains again, and Li is not in a hurry if he does not give up. Anyway, no matter what the rebel army in the mountains would do, the arrangements made in October would be launched, and Li Buqi was sure that the emperor would personally request that the Zhenwu army be transferred back to guard the test site.

Li Buqi's guards who remained in Tokyo came once and brought news of the capital. Now Li Buqi's story of how to exterminate the bandits in Yingchang Mansion has been fully spread through Mr. Storyteller, and the common people know that Li Buqi used a stone cannon to smash the thief's stockade, and there is nothing unusual, but because the terrain of the village is dangerous, it also took a long time. So there was a rumor that wanted to label Li Buqi as a "bandit", because it rose a few days late, and no one believed it.

Now that the Liao State spies have been dug up in the capital, the case of leaking secrets is even bigger, and the debate over whether to kill the officials involved in the case is becoming more and more intense, and even local officials are involved. Now the emperor doesn't do anything else all day long, just presiding over the war of words. Yun Yi's pawn in Baozhou also rebelled, and it was even more chaotic, coupled with the escort of Lian Guangzhi, Lu Feng exposed the situation of Mr. Storyteller digging up history and exposing the conspiracy to blow Li Buqi into the sky without hindrance at all.

The common people like conspiracy theories the most, and now the talk in the tea shop is no longer about how magical Li Buqi is, but how the civil officials have no bottom line.

Just when Li Buqi was busy training and studying every day, Luo Tong and others entered the Changshe County of Yingchang Prefecture, asked where the government was located, and then handed a letter to an old man with white hair and a lame leg.

The old man limped to the government office with the letter and said that he wanted to see the prefect and ask for peace. The people of the government did not dare to slack off, and asked about this group of strongmen, and more than 500 people hurriedly reported to the Jin Governor's Mansion. This is a big deal, Jin Zhifu and Tongju hurriedly went to the court to ask the messenger, but the messenger only said that they were the ones who robbed four Zhuangzi in Yangzhai County recently, and said nothing else.

The prefect and the general judge had to read the letter first, and just swept their eyes and crooked their noses. The gist of the letter is that these strongmen joined the rebel army when the rebel army passed by because they had been oppressed by corrupt officials and corrupt officials, but they rebelled to eliminate corrupt officials for the emperor, not to oppose the emperor. Now they see that killing corrupt officials on their own is not the way, and they are worried about the difficulties of the country, and they are willing to accept Zhao'an. In order to enhance its credibility, the letter also lists several specific cases of people being oppressed by corrupt officials.

What the hell is this asking for peace, this is completely an indictment of the officials. Jin Zhifu is a master of scraping the ground, no matter how you look at this letter, it looks like an accusation against himself. How could he, Jin Liren, recruit such an ignorant person. And it was you who robbed those four Zhuangzi and recruited you, so Li Bu didn't give up and could go back to the capital!

So Jin Liren gave an order and ordered the messenger to be tortured, pretending to ask him to find out where his accomplices were. The messenger was originally a mountain person, and he gritted his teeth and said nothing in order for his family to be recruited and walked out of the mountains with the determination to die.

Seeing that the punishment was useless, the general judge suggested: "Fuzun, it's better to put this thief outside with a heavy flail, so that the thief can come to rescue, maybe you can catch a few." ”

Jin Liren was afraid that he would lead the thief to Changshe and catch him, but instead gave Li Buqi a reason to escape, so he said very conceitedly: "The thief saw that the Drill Tianzhai was broken, and he was frightened to ask for peace." Li Buqi is in Yangzhai County, where do thieves dare to come here to rob people. It's better to lock up the thief and torture him slowly. ”

After thinking about it, the always timid Jin Governor still made a decision to take it easy: "But you can't help but prevent thieves from watching, and you can transfer a command from Yangzhai County to strengthen the guard." ”

The yamen of the Great Song Dynasty was at the level of a colander up and down, and in the evening, the teahouses and wine shops in the streets and alleys were rumored to have thieves asking for Zhao'an's news, and of course, the attitude of the Jin Governor's Mansion not allowing Zhao'an also came out. The next day, Luo Tong and the others left a few people to reconnoiter the situation in the city without waiting for the messenger, and the others followed Luo Tong out of the county seat of Changshe.

"Lift, there's a man looking for you at the camp gate. Ask him what he wants, and he just won't say. The soldiers on duty at the battalion gate panted and reported to Li Buqi.

Li Buqi followed the soldiers to the camp gate, and saw an old man in coarse cloth clothes and straw rope tied around his waist standing outside the camp gate with a donkey, looking at each other with a group of soldiers. Li Buqi said: "I am Li Buqi, you are looking for me?" ”

The old man hurriedly saluted and said, "Official, someone asked me to bring a letter to you." He also said that if it is successful or not, please send a letter to the official for me to take back. ”

Li Buqi opened the letter and saw that it was a document written according to his own instructions to ask for Zhao'an, which said that he had submitted a letter to the government office, but the person who sent the letter was imprisoned and tortured, so he hoped to reach heaven through Li Buqi. The letter was written in a clear and coherent manner than Li Buqi had expected, and he read it from beginning to end and then instructed the soldiers: "Bring the two commanders and the prison army." ”

Then he pretended to ask the old man, "Old man, who entrusted you with this letter?" ”

"Oh, I thought it was the king. My whole family is still in his hands now, and I don't dare to disobey orders. ”

In the question-and-answer question, Song Yuanji and the others all ran to the camp gate, Li Buqi first showed the letter to Song Yuanji, and then asked after he looked at it: "What do you think should I do about this?" ”

Song Yuanji handed the letter to the two commanders and said, "You have the right to act cheaply, and you can decide for yourself, but I think it's best to discuss it with the Jin Governor's Mansion." ”

Li Buqi said: "I think so too. Although the officials allowed me to act cheaply, after all, I was assisting the local authorities in suppressing bandits, and it was still up to the prefect and the prefect to decide when the local government was in charge. ”

He turned to the old man who delivered the letter: "You go back and tell the king first, I don't dare to autobion this matter, and I have to ask the official." Whatever the outcome, I would put up a post at the city gate, and they would let people look at the city gate. That way they won't embarrass you anymore. ”

After the old man left, Song Yuanji asked, "Why don't you send someone to follow him, maybe you can catch the thief." ”

Li Buqi flatly refused: "That may harm his family." Since the thief dared to let him send a letter, he must have been prepared. Let's not waste it. This letter was quickly copied in two copies and sent to the Yangzhai County Government and the Yingchang Mansion Government. The original documents were sent directly to His Majesty, so that His Majesty could also learn about local affairs. ”
