"Someone!" Lin Yan shouted.

"In!"

"Open the gates! Let them out! Lin Yan stared at Shi Min and instructed his subordinates.

"Yes!"

Lin Yan ordered the city gate to be opened without warning, and the refugees outside the city still wanted to come in, Lin Yan's subordinates did not hesitate to shoot a round of random shots, and a wave of people were shot to the ground, and the people behind were so frightened that they didn't dare to step forward again, and for a while, the swords were tense.

"Zhang Mufeng!" Shi Min shouted.

"The last general!"

"Let the people outside the city disperse!"

"The last general commands!"

Zhang Mufeng led people to evacuate the crowd, and at this time, Lin Yan said: "Today's matter, I will report to the imperial court!" Hou Ye is so self-conscious! ”

Shi Min was inexplicably troubled by the matter, and he seemed to have suddenly become the mastermind of the rebellion.

"Take all these people away, isolate them from the people outside the city, ask them one by one, and be sure to find out what happened today!" Shi Min instructed his subordinates.

"Yes!"

Those people were taken to a clearing, and Shi Min sent people to take all the more than 1,000 people into custody and interrogate them one by one. Storming the city gate, this move, to put it seriously, is equivalent to rebellion, and if Lin Yan is deliberately framed, Shi Min is likely to be implicated.

"How's that going?" Shi Min asked Zhang Mufeng.

Zhang Mufeng shook his head and said, "No result yet!" These people don't seem to realize the seriousness of their actions. ”

"It's all because you can't get enough to eat! Otherwise, who wants to go desperately! ”

"General, the last general is worried that Lin Yan will take advantage of today's incident to make a fuss and trap the general in injustice!"

Shi Min frowned, nodded slightly, and said, "I know!" Send someone to keep an eye on the county guard mansion to see what Lin Yan is doing! ”

"The last general will arrange this!"

"Wang Chong!"

"The last general!" Wang Chong hurriedly responded.

"Third Uncle and Mr. Qin, do you have any news?"

Wang Chong shook his head and said, "Not yet!" ”

Shi Min sighed and said, "There is not much food and grass left in the army, and if we can't find any food, not only will these refugees have nothing to eat, but we will also be hungry!" ”

"Lin Yan's old boy obviously hoarded a lot of food, but he didn't take it out!"

"Does the princess have a reply?"

"Neither!"

"I can't imagine that the court we support is so disregarding the lives of the people!" Shi Min said resentfully.

"Most of these officials are not Han, and these refugees are basically Han, in the eyes of the Hu people, what is the life of the Han people!" Wang Chong gritted his teeth and said.

At this time, four or five soldiers came over with a few refugees, and Shi Min looked at it, stepped forward and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"General Qiyu, after the interrogation of the last general, there is something suspicious about these people!"

Shi Min looked at the people in front of him, all of them were disheveled and unkempt, looking no different from other refugees.

"Where are you from?" Shi Min asked.

"Back to the general's words, the small ones are from Neihuang Dageng Village, and we are all from the same village."

"Are you inciting people to storm the city pass today?"

"Back to the general's words, the little ones have no intention of causing chaos to the general, but it's been almost a month, the court doesn't care about us, only the general generously relief, but we heard that there is not much food left in the general's camp, and if this continues, our family will starve to death sooner or later! The little ones are also desperate, so they are impulsive and make today's mistakes! ”

"I ask you, is the one who shouts in the crowd today one of you?"

The man looked at a few people around him, and everyone shook their heads and said, "The little ones didn't squeak at that time, please see the general!" ”

Shi Min noticed that when this person spoke, his eyes flickered a little, so he whispered two words to Zhang Mufeng, although the person kept his head down, he quietly glanced at Shi Min, and this move happened to be seen by Shi Min.

Zhang Mufeng nodded silently, and instructed his subordinates: "Let them go!" ”

"Yes!"

"Let's go, you guys! You don't need to worry about the food, and that's the end of today's business! Do you understand? Zhang Mufeng scolded those people.

"The villain understands! Thank you, General! The man at the head thanked him again and again.

Shi Min waved his hand and said, "Go, go, go!" ”

After those people were taken away, Zhang Mufeng also left, and Wang Chong on the side asked, "General, why did you let them go like this?" Those people just had a problem! ”

"If you don't let them go, how can you figure this out?" Shi Min glanced at Wang Chong and said, "Put a long line to catch a big fish!" They don't look like ordinary refugees, I'm afraid there's something wrong with that! ”

"I see!" Wang Chong nodded as if he didn't understand.

"Let's go! Go back to camp first! Shi Min commanded.

......

Back in the barracks, a soldier immediately stepped forward to report: "General, someone from the house has arrived!" ”

Shi Min immediately asked, "Where are the people?" ”

"Someone over there!" The soldier pointed Shi Min in the direction.

Shi Min turned his head to look, and a familiar figure next to the gate was squatting and nibbling on a white-flour steamed bun.

"Six sons!" Shi Min trotted over and shouted.

It turned out that it was the sixth son who came to deliver the letter, and when he heard Shi Min's voice, he quickly stood up, stuffed half of the steamed bun into his arms, and saluted and shouted: "Childe! ”

"How? What's the news? Shi Min asked eagerly.

Liuzi wiped his mouth, untied a sealed cowhide bag from his waist, took out two letters, handed them to Shi Min, and said, "This is what the third uncle asked me to send!" Childe, you've seen it! ”

Shi Min took the letter, the top one was Shi Xin's handwriting, and the bottom one, there was no word written outside the envelope, Shi Min was a little puzzled, and asked, "Why are there two letters?" Who wrote this unsigned letter? ”

The sixth son glanced at it and said, "I heard that Uncle Xu said that it was Lu An who quietly stuffed it to the princess and asked the princess to hand it over to you!" ”

When Shi Min heard this, he knew that Lu An must have wanted to tell him something, so he said to Liuzi: "Go!" Come back to the tent with me! ”

"Yes!"

Back in his camp, Shi Min couldn't wait to open Lu An's letter first, only to see that there were only a few words on the letter: "Your Majesty has completely lost his mind, the government is in the hands of traitors, take care of your son." ”

After reading Lu An's letter, Shi Min's face changed suddenly, he picked up Shi Xin's letter without saying a word, opened it and looked at it, his face became even more ugly, and he was silent for a long time.

"General, what's wrong?" Wang Chong couldn't help but ask.

Shi Min didn't respond, his mind was full of news that Shi Xin and Lu An had passed to him, and at this time, a voice suddenly came from outside the tent: "General Qiyu, the Prime Minister has sent someone to deliver a letter!" ”

When Shi Min heard this, he ordered, "Bring him in!" ”

"The last general obeys!"

"General......

Wang Chong was about to speak, Shi Min raised his hand to signal him not to speak yet, and at this moment, the person who delivered the letter to Zhang Bao was brought in.

"I've seen Master Hou!"

"What news did the Prime Minister send you to Ben Hou?" Shi Min asked directly.

The man smiled, presented a letter to Shi Min, and said, "This is a letter from the Prime Minister, please take a look at it." ”

Shi Min took the letter, opened it and saw that it was indeed Zhang Bao's handwriting.

After just a cursory look at the contents, Shi Min instructed the man: "Okay, what the prime minister means, Ben Hou has already understood, please go back!" ”

The man was stunned for a moment and asked, "Master Hou doesn't have anything to convey to the prime minister?" ”

Shi Min replied with a cold face: "No! ”

The man saluted and said, "The villain retires!" ”

After the man left, Shi Min scolded: "Good you Zhang Leopard! Now that he is in a high position, he does not know the suffering of the people! Speaking of which, the household department can't come up with money and food, so who will feed these hundreds of thousands of mouths waiting to eat outside! ”

Wang Chong and the others looked at each other, and no one dared to squeak, because they rarely saw Shi Min angry like this.

"Wang Chong!"

"The last general!"

"Pass my orders! From tomorrow, the daily ration of soldiers will be reduced by 30%! Shi Min commanded.

"General......

"Go!" Shi Min said firmly.

"Yes......"
