Cao Sheng thought that Li Yanqing would immediately lead his army to stop the misdeeds of the Kaifeng Mansion, but Li Yanqing did not move, and until dusk, tens of thousands of angry people, led by the Tai students Chen Dong and Jia Guan, poured into Li Yanqing's official office.

"Li Dutong, please come out!"

"Please let Captain Li call the shots for us!"

The people shouted outside the official office, and Li Yanqing walked out, his brows furrowed, "What happened?" ”

An old man on crutches trembled forward and cried: "Li Dutong wants to be the master for us!" ”

Li Yanqing hurriedly supported him, "Don't be sad, old man, I will definitely make decisions for everyone, please tell me what happened first?" ”

"What a wreck! The government actually openly robbed the people's daughters, this is the shame of my Great Song Dynasty, Li Dutong, you must come forward to stop it, no! Punish them severely. ”

At this time, another old man next to him said: "It is said that the official family promised to give 30,000 women and one million taels of gold to the Jin people, including all the palace maids, Li Dutong, save those poor women!" ”

"Li Dutong, save my daughter!" A middle-aged man burst into tears.

"Li Dutong, save them!"

Tens of thousands of people knelt down one after another, and Li Yanqing raised his hand and said loudly: "Everyone, please listen to me!" ”

The surroundings gradually quieted down, and Li Yanqing said loudly: "Those who are enemies of the people will be spurned by the people, I am in charge of this matter, and I will never allow the government to mess around, please come with me!" ”

Li Yanqing strode in the direction of Dongdajie, hundreds of soldiers hurriedly followed behind, followed by tens of thousands of people, at the same time, Zhang Hu led three thousand elite cavalry to outflank Dongdajie first.

At this time, the chickens and dogs on the East Street jumped, and it was a mess, Wang Shiyong and Xu Bingzhe adopted the method of sweeping the streets, and 2,000 soldiers blocked the road at both ends, and hundreds of officials began to rob women and collect gold and silver from house to house.

More than 20 carriages were parked on the street, and when they grabbed a young woman, they stuffed it into a carriage, a carriage could fit seven or eight people, and after more than 20 carriages were filled, they would be sent to the palace, and they began to search and loot at noon, and they had robbed more than 6,000 people, plus the palace maids, the total number was close to 10,000.

The leader of this matter is Wang Shiyong, the squire of the military department, Wang Shiyong was originally Bai Shizhong's confidant, was named the commander of the palace in front of the palace, and was in charge of the two thousand palace forbidden troops in the Zhizheng Hall.

Wang Shiyong got Geng Nanzhong's promise today, and after completing the matter arranged by the official family, he would take over the vacant position after the death of He Li, so Wang Shiyong worked very hard today.

The same is true of Xu Bingzhe, the other leader, and the same is true of Xu Bingzhe, Xu Bingzhe was promised to take over the phase of Sun Fu, and he is also actively working hard.

"Xu Fuyin, this family is a widow, and there are three little ladies in the family." A ground guard pointed to a door and sneered at Xu Bingzhe.

Xu Bingzhe waved his hand, and several officials walked up quickly.

"Open the door!"

The official knocked on the door hard, but no one paid attention to it inside, Xu Bingzhe was furious and shouted: "Crash it open!" ”

More than a dozen officials rushed up with the bumper wood and slammed it hard, 'Boom! With a loud bang, the door was slammed open, dozens of officials rushed in, and soon the woman's cry was heard, three teenage girls were forcibly carried out by the officials, they struggled desperately and cried, but to no avail, a middle-aged woman behind cried and chased out, "You put down my daughter!" ”

"Dead mother-in-law, go back, or I will arrest you too!" Xu Bingzhe kicked the middle-aged woman to the ground.

At this moment, there was a commotion in the distance, and when Xu Bingzhe turned around, he saw a dense crowd of people walking towards this side, and the 1,000 soldiers who were responsible for blocking the streets in the west did not dare to stop it, and rushed back to this side.

Xu Bingzhe suddenly panicked, and hurriedly shouted: "Wang Shilang, quickly order the army to stop them!" ”

Wang Shiyong was also a little flustered, and hurriedly ordered: "The soldiers assemble and stop them!" ”

At this moment, the fierce sound of horses' hooves suddenly sounded at the western intersection, followed by cries and screams, and then Zhang Hu led three thousand cavalry to kill and began to ruthlessly kill the one thousand soldiers blocking the road.

Of course, this is an order issued by Li Yanqing, he has long wanted to clean up the two thousand soldiers controlled by the Zhizheng Hall, originally he just wanted to disband this army, but since they followed Wang Shiyong to fight for the tiger, Li Yanqing moved to kill.

Although these forbidden troops in front of the palace are usually glamorous, they have not experienced actual combat, just like a rotten piece of wood painted with oil paint on the outside, which immediately collapsed under the impact of the cavalry, and ran towards this side lifelessly.

At this time, Xu Bingzhe suddenly saw Li Yanqing in front of the team, he was also a little scared in his heart, and hurriedly ordered his subordinates to release three girls, and the three girls immediately ran to their mother's side, and the mother and daughter hugged their heads and cried.

"Li Shaobao, listen to my explanation!"

Xu Bingzhe hurriedly stepped forward and bowed down and explained: "This matter has nothing to do with the lowly position, the lowly duty is just the execution ......"

Before he finished speaking, Li Yanqing snorted coldly, "You falsely spread the holy decree and used the fake sword of Shang Fang Tianzi to harm the people, you have the crime of bullying the king and harming the people, and you deserve death!" After speaking, he pierced Xu Bingzhe's chest with a sword, Xu Bingzhe screamed, and was killed immediately, Li Yanqing immediately cut off his head and raised his head high, and tens of thousands of people suddenly rejoiced.

Wang Shiyong was so frightened that he turned around to escape, but Zhang Hu rushed forward and grabbed him by the hair, dragged him to the ground, and picked him up.

"Dutong, there's another one here!"

"Throw it to the people!"

"Li Dutong spares his life! Spare your life! ”

Wang Shiyong begged desperately, but it was meaningless, Zhang Hu urged the horse to run two steps, and threw Wang Shiyong towards the crowd, "I'll leave it to you to dispose of!" ”

The crowd dodged and said, 'Boom! With a bang, Wang Shiyong fell heavily to the ground, and the angry crowd rushed up, chaotic feet, Wang Shiyong screamed endlessly, and the sound gradually disappeared.

At this time, another general led the cavalry to drive the officials and some of the soldiers who participated in the robbery of the people's girls into a dead alley, Li Yanqing turned back and said loudly to the people: "What to do with them, you can decide for yourself!"

He led his soldiers to evacuate, and suddenly someone shouted: "Stone them to death!" ”

Bricks and stones rained down the alley, cornering hundreds of officials and soldiers, who were stoned to death by tens of thousands of angry people, and their bodies were finally hung high from trees.

.........

Geng Nanzhong also knows very well that forcibly conscripting people's daughters and collecting gold and silver will be hated by the people, and he will not do this kind of offending thing, just hand it over to Xu Bingzhe and Wang Shiyong, these two people are greedy for profit, and they want to be the prime minister, so it is most suitable for them to work hard.

However, Xu Bingzhe and Wang Shiyong's performance was quite satisfactory to them, and in just half a day, they forcibly recruited more than 6,000 girls, plus more than 3,000 palace maids, nearly 10,000 people, although gold only collected more than 100,000 taels, silver only collected more than 700,000 taels, and only the number of women was tens of thousands, and they could more or less give money to the Jinren.

It's just that Geng Nanzhong is a little worried about another major matter, that is, Li Yanqing's handling, he already has a complete holy decree in his hand, to remove Li Yanqing from all official positions for the crime of unauthorized military power, and arrest him and take him to prison, but the question is how to operate this matter?

Geng Nanzhong paced back and forth in the official room, although it was difficult to arrest Li Yanqing, it must be done, otherwise 10,000 women would not be able to leave the city, Geng Nanzhong knew in his heart that Li Yanqing would never allow 10,000 women to go out of the city.

At this time, there was a shout from outside the official room, and Geng Nanzhong frowned, "Haven't they dispersed yet?" ”

Since this afternoon, a group of middle- and lower-level officials have gathered together to oppose the forced conscription of people's daughters and the collection of gold and silver, and even more oppose the sending of the emperor and the palace maids to the barracks.

Geng Nanzhong walked out of the gate of Menxia Province, only to see nearly 100 middle and lower-level officials standing in front of the steps, led by an official in his thirties, named Wu Ge, the official Xuanzan Sheren, just a minor official from the seventh grade, although the official position is not high, but he dares to act, has a strong personality, and leads the crowd to oppose the emperor to negotiate in the gold camp.

As soon as Geng Nanzhong walked down the steps, the officials immediately stepped forward to surround him, and Wu Ge angrily reprimanded: "What is the difference between robbing people's daughters, breaking houses and robbing property, and robbers? As Xiangguo, how can he give such an order, please Geng Xianggong immediately stop this kind of angry behavior! ”

Geng Nanzhong said unhurriedly: "This is the key to whether the official family can come back, and it is also the official family who personally issued an order, I am just acting on the order!" ”

"When the official family comes back, they should be rescued in the right way, how can they exchange the wives and daughters of the people for it? also gave the palace maid emperor Ji to the golden people for lewd pleasure, this is the shame of the Great Song Dynasty, how did Geng Xianggong explain to the monarchs of the Great Song Dynasty? How to explain to the people of the world? ”

Geng Nanzhong said angrily: "I said it, this is the will of the Son of Heaven, it has nothing to do with me, I am just carrying out the will of the Son of Heaven!" ”

"Whether it is the will of the Son of Heaven or not, the things that harm the heavens and the people must stop!"

"Tell me, what if the golden soldiers come in?"

Wu Ge stiffened his neck and shouted: "We have an army, the army can't stop it, we will also pick up the knife and fight hard with the Jin people, the people of the Great Song Dynasty will never give in, and they would rather die than let the Jin people be humiliated!" ”

"Well said!" Suddenly there was applause in the distance.

Everyone turned around and saw Li Yanqing wearing armor and walking briskly surrounded by hundreds of soldiers.

Everyone dodged out of the way, Li Yanqing nodded and said to the hundred officials: "I thought that the imperial court was completely sunk, but I didn't expect that there were many strong ministers, this is the luck of the Great Song Dynasty and the luck of the people of the capital." ”

Li Yanqing looked at Wu Ge again and said: "I can tell Wu Sheren that as long as I Li Yanqing is here, there will never be any woman who will give Jin Ren lewd pleasure, and I have sent an army to send them home for all the women who have been captured." ”

The officials applauded and couldn't help but cheer.

Geng Nanzhong was furious, pointed at Li Yanqing and yelled: "Li Yanqing, you will kill the official family!" ”

"Shut up!"

Li Yanqing snorted, glared at Geng Nanzhong angrily and said: "It was not me who killed the official family, but you Geng Nanzhong, you knew that the Jin people had no faith in their words, and you were vicious, and you also instigated the official family to go to the Jin camp to negotiate, causing the official family to be in danger and unable to return to the city, Geng Nanzhong, how can you explain to the imperial court?" How to explain to the world? “

Li Yanqing pressed forward step by step, Geng Nanzhong was scared in his heart, and retreated step by step, he suddenly hurriedly raised a handwritten edict and said: "It's just an official letter, I will dismiss you and ask you, Li Yanqing, you are no longer a court official!" ”

Li Yanqing snatched the edict in his hand, tore it to pieces, and sneered: "You colluded with Jin Bing, betrayed the capital, and dared to destroy the defense of the capital by falsely passing on the edict, you should be dismissed and imprisoned, come here, drag him down and imprison him!" ”

More than a dozen soldiers rushed forward, knocked off Geng Nanzhong's official hat, and forcibly dragged him down, Geng Nanzhong shouted, "Let go of me, I'm the right Xiangguo!" You let go of me, Li Yanqing, I will never let you go! ”

Geng Nanzhong's voice gradually faded away, and Li Yanqing smiled at the hundred officials: "Please believe me, I will definitely defend the capital, and the Great Song Dynasty will never give in to the iron hooves of the Jin people!" ”

Under the leadership of Wu Ge, everyone bowed to Li Yanqing together, "We are willing to follow Li Taibao to save the Great Song Dynasty and restore the prosperity of my Han family!" ”
