Chapter 380: Decided to Return to Beijing

The carriage gradually arrived in Lushan Town, and the speed slowed down, Zhou Chun had not fully recovered from the panic, and looked a little sluggish, just sitting in the carriage and looking at the deep night in a daze, and he didn't listen to a word of Li Yanqing and Luan Tingyu's conversation.

"Senior brother, I should have received a good deal this time!" Li Yanqing joked with a smile.

"It's a good business, guess who's the customer?"

Li Yanqing thought for a while and said, "Is it Liang Shicheng?" ”

"Liang Shicheng did look for me, but it's not about Liangshan, don't guess the court, guess people outside the court."

Li Yanqing pondered for a moment, and suddenly blurted out, "Fang La! ”

Luan Tingyu raised his head and laughed, "Senior brother has such a quick mind!" ”

He nodded, "You're right, it's indeed Fang La, he wants to know if Song Jiang has the intention of being emperor." ”

"Does Fang La want to be the emperor?"

"I guess so! But he also hoped that Song Jiang would be the emperor first to attract the attention of the imperial court, and if Song Jiang was ready to be the emperor, then he could wait a little longer. ”

Li Yanqing said with a smile: "If Song Jiang doesn't mean to be the emperor, he is welcome." ”

"Indeed!"

Luan Tingyu smiled and said, "It's difficult to find out the details of Song Jiang!" ”

Li Yanqing was silent for a moment and said, "Song Jiang will not be the emperor!" ”

"How does the junior brother know?"

Of course, Li Yanqing would not say that he knew the ending of Song Jiang, he said lightly: "The emperor must also have the right time, place and people, although the Song Dynasty is rotten, but people are determined, not many people are really willing to follow him against the imperial court, he raised troops in the hinterland of the Central Plains, and it is not suitable to be called the emperor, he is only ringworm against the imperial court, but once he is called the emperor, it will be fatal, and the imperial court will send heavy troops to completely destroy him, he understands this truth, not to mention that he is internally uncertain and does not get the full support of his brothers, how can he be called emperor?" ”

"Internal indefinite?"

Li Yanqing said lightly: "One center is called Zhong, and two centers are called suffering, this is Song Jiang's biggest weakness, he thought that if Chao Gai died, he would be able to unify Liangshan, and it turned out that this was just his wishful thinking." ”

"My brother has seen it thoroughly, but I still need to take some time to dig deeper."

At this time, Li Yanqing remembered something and said with a smile: "Chong Shuai misses his senior brother very much!" ”

Luan Tingyu was silent for a moment, "Senior brother, don't mention the past in the future." ”

"I'm sorry!"

Luan Tingyu smiled, "It's okay, Chong Shuai is indeed kind to me, but the past is unbearable." ”

Not long after, the carriage arrived at Li Wen Village, Li Zhen led a few clansmen to wait at the entrance of the village, and when he saw Li Yanqing, he hurriedly greeted him.

"Second uncle, is Mrs. Zhou here?"

"Here, in the little official's house, there is a little lady, but she is gone."

"Gone?" Li Yanqing was slightly stunned.

"She came in a hurry, and she walked in a hurry, as if she was taking the road of Yongji Canal."

Li Yanqing felt a little regretful in his heart, but he also understood that Hu Qing'er's behavior was already an enemy, and she couldn't leave if she didn't leave, so Li Yanqing took out Yang Liang's address and handed it to Li Zhen, "Please ask the second uncle to go to Tangbei Township and send a message to one of my subordinates for me, so that he can clean up, I am going to Beijing." ”

"Is the petty official leaving?"

Li Yanqing nodded, "This big incident has happened, and I have to enter Beijing." ”

At this time, Luan Tingyu untied a horse from the carriage, turned over and said, "Senior brother, I'm also leaving." ”

Li Yanqing didn't keep anyone, he hugged his fists and said: "Senior brother's kindness, junior brother remembers it in his heart." ”

"Hey! My brother is polite, I'm leaving. ”

"What if I want to find Senior Brother?"

"It's very simple, as long as the virtuous brother shoots a rocket into the sky outside the northern city of Sucheng at night, I will appear within an hour."

After speaking, Luan Tingyu left on his horse, Li Yanqing and a clansman helped Zhou Chun into his yard, Gao ran out, Zhou Chun greeted him excitedly, and the husband and wife hugged their heads and cried.

At this time, Uncle Zhong stepped forward and whispered, "Miss Qing'er sent her here and left." ”

"I know!"

"Miss Qing'er left a message to the little official."

"What did she say?" Li Yanqing stopped and asked.

"She said....I hope I don't meet petty officials on the battlefield."

"She said that?"

Uncle Zhong nodded, "That's what she said. ”

Li Yanqing smiled and said to Uncle Zhong, "Help me clean up!" I'm going to Beijing in two days. ”

"Aren't the little officials here for the New Year?"

"I'm not in the mood anymore."

At this time, Zhou Chun slowly walked out of the lobby and said to Li Yanqing in a hoarse voice: "Yanqing, I want to talk to you!" ”

"Good! Let's go to the study. ”

Li Yanqing led Zhou Chun to his temporary study, that is, the room where the magpie used to be, and when he entered the door, Zhou Chun knelt down and kowtowed to Li Yanqing, "Yanqing is a great grace to our husband and wife, thank you for your great kindness, Zhou Chun will remember it in his heart!" ”

Li Yanqing was startled and hurriedly helped him up, "This is what a friend should do, if I am in danger, you will also help me, right?" ”

Zhou Chun wept and said: "If it weren't for the timely rescue of Miss Qing'er, the lady would have almost been tarnished, if it wasn't for Yanqing sacrificing her life to save her, my head would have already landed, such a great favor, I can only repay it later." ”

Li Yanqing smiled and waved his hand, "Let's sit down and talk!" ”

Zhou Chun sat down, wiped away his tears and said, "I want to send you back to the capital tomorrow, it's too dangerous here." ”

"But Jiang Zhixian and Zhang Xiancheng were killed, who will appease the people of Tangyin County? Brother Zhou, you can't leave at this time, it's your responsibility. ”

"But ......"

Li Yanqing waved his hand to interrupt him, "I will probably leave for Beijing the day after tomorrow, if Brother Zhou can trust me, I am willing to escort my sister-in-law into Beijing, and I will hire two experienced midwives to accompany me, so that I can take care of it." ”

"I completely trust the virtuous brother, I just want to ask the lady what she means, can you let me go and discuss it with the lady first."

"Brother Zhou, please!"

Zhou Chun hurriedly went to find his wife, and after only a moment, he came back, bowed down and said, "Then please ask Brother Xian." ”

"Don't worry! I'll keep her safe on the way. ”

Li Yanqing took two steps with his hand in his hand, and suddenly asked, "I found that Tangyin County doesn't seem to have a master book?" ”

"The main book has always been vacant, and Zhang Xiancheng is concurrently serving as the main bookkeeper."

"I see!"

Li Yanqing nodded and said, "Although there is a sentence that is not appropriate to say at this time, I still want to remind Brother Zhou that you are now facing an opportunity." ”

Zhou Chun lowered his head, he understood what Li Yanqing meant, both the county and the county were vacant, this was indeed an opportunity, but it was just ..... It seems a little too morally to go!

Li Yanqing thought for a while and said, "That's it! Brother Zhou first writes a letter to his father-in-law, and then you investigate the losses of Tangyin County, and then write a detailed report to the imperial court, as for whether you can be promoted to the county governor or the magistrate, it is up to your father-in-law to decide, you don't have to worry about it yourself, just do a good job in the aftermath of the county. ”

Zhou Chun nodded, "You're right, I'll write to my father-in-law tonight!" ”

.......

Early the next morning, news came from the county seat that the Liangshan army left Tangyin County before dawn, and Li Yanqing immediately accompanied Zhou Chun back to the county seat.

Tangyin County is full of devastation, although Wang Ying ordered to stop looting yesterday afternoon, in fact, many of his subordinates still take advantage of the night to loot large households, ** women, to Tangyin County has brought unprecedented harm in more than 100 years.

Zhou Chun entered the county seat, and the people in the county gathered around to cry, Zhou Chun's heart was sour, and he comforted everyone one by one, at this time, Li Yanqing suddenly saw Wang Gui's father also wiping tears in the crowd, he was suddenly startled, and hurriedly stepped forward to pull him aside.

"Uncle, nothing happened to the old man, right?" Li Yanqing asked nervously.

Wang Gui's father was very sad and said: "Although there was no accident, our mule and horse business was completely destroyed, hundreds of donkeys and mules were forcibly requisitioned, and at least nearly 10,000 yuan were lost!" ”

It's good that people don't have an accident, Li Yanqing breathed a sigh of relief, Tang Lian unfortunately died, he was already under a lot of pressure, if Wang Wanhao had another accident, he really had no shame to meet a few friends.

Li Yanqing comforted him a few more words, and at this time, a township soldier ran forward and said, "Li Tanhua, there is someone looking for it at the city gate!" ”

Li Yanqing looked back, but a thin middle-aged man stood by the city gate, Li Yanqing recognized at a glance that it was Jiang Dadao's staff member Mo Jun, who owed him a favor when he brought down Li Wengui.

He hurriedly introduced Wang Gui's father to Zhou Chun, and then walked quickly towards the city gate.

"Mr. Mo is safe, I'm really glad that he's safe!"

"Thank you Li Tanhua for your concern, I am indeed very lucky."

Mo Jun said with palpitations: "Yesterday, I happened to go to Tangbei Township to reconcile accounts, and I was not in the county office, but the bandits entered the county office, and several scribes in Jiang Zhi County did not survive, Zhang Qiu also died, and Jiang Zhi County also died, it was too miserable." ”

"Do you have any plans for the future?"

Mo Jun sighed, "As soon as Jiang Zhixian dies, I have nothing to do, I plan to go back to my hometown Wei County to find something to do." ”

Li Yanqing knew that Mo Jun was an extremely shrewd and capable person, Jiang Dadao couldn't read a basket of big characters, and the entire Tangyin County was actually supported by his two Mo Jun and Zhang Qiu, and it was a pity that this person let go.

He thought for a while and said, "I have a few ways, it depends on whether Mr. Mo is interested?" ”

Of course Mo Jun didn't want to go back to his hometown, he actually looked for Li Yanqing to recommend it to him, he was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "I am willing to listen to you!" ”

Li Yanqing pointed at Zhou Chun, "County Lieutenant Zhou is my good friend, his father-in-law has just been promoted to the Privy Council, the background is very hard, he has a bright future, if Mr. is willing, I can recommend Mr. to him, this is the first way." ”

Mo Jun didn't say anything, and when Li Yanqing continued, Li Yanqing said again: "The second way is to be a kind of handsome staff, I know his situation better, he just needs a staff, but he is not the main staff, his main staff is already there." ”

After a pause, Li Yanqing said again: "The third way is to go to Beijing to do things for my father, and be a deacon for a few years, maybe my husband can come to help me in the future." ”

At the beginning, Mo Jun helped Li Yanqing bring down Li Wengui without any compensation, he just saw that Li Yanqing had a bright future and bet his opportunity to the future.

Although it is good to follow Zhou Chun, Zhou Chun is too orthodox and too old-fashioned, which does not fit in with his character, and the staff of the Seed Master Dao sounds good, but the Seed Master Dao is old and will retire in a few years, and there is no future for following him, not to mention that he is not the main staff.

He has always thought that following Li Yanqing will be more promising, how could Mo Jun not understand Li Yanqing's words, he smiled happily: "It's my honor to be able to do things for Baoyanzhai." ”
