Chapter 171: Asking for Food
Bai Suzhen had been observing, and she wasn't sure what Xu Xian was going to do.
Immediately, Xu Xian's people went outside to get a carriage and came back, obviously Xu Xian had already arranged it, there were six carriages, and under Xu Xian's guidance, these carriages went to the prefect's yamen.
"The officials don't want to set off overnight, what do they want to do?" Bai Suzhen felt very surprised, in her opinion, Xu Xian should be thinking about how to leave the mansion, and should not have any entanglement with the prefect's yamen.
But based on Bai Suzhen's observation, Xu Xian was going to face the difficulties and deliberately walked in the direction of the prefect's yamen.
Xu Xian led people all the way to the outside of the prefect's yamen, and there were many people who kept vigil at night in the prefect's yamen, and after discovering that Xu Xian had arrived with men and carriages, the people in the prefect's yamen were also a little confused.
"Xu Zhixian, what are you going to do?"
Tongzhi Song Huazhu came out of the prefect's yamen, and he was still planning how to kill Xu Xian, and Xu Xian actually greeted the door.
Song Huazhu also wanted to prevent Xu Xian from coming in chaos, he transferred hundreds of people from the prefect's yamen to guard the door of the prefect's yamen.
Xu Xian stepped forward and said, "I'm here to ask for food." ”
"Don't say anything bastard!" Song Huazhu said angrily, "What kind of food do you want from the prefect's yamen?" Did the prefect agree to give you food before? ”
Xu Xian said loudly: "According to the rules of the imperial court, a prisoner of war can exchange for one stone of grain, one tael of silver, and two acres of land, as for the silver tael and land, there is no need to count it, anyway, these things are also insignificant to the next, but before the more than 300 prisoners of war sent to Fucheng, the fraction was wiped out, when it was three hundred, it should be exchanged for three hundred stones of grain, and the official will transport these grains away this time!" ”
Song Huazhu became angry when he heard this, and he said angrily: "Okay, you Xu Hanwen, you actually dare to blackmail the prefect's yamen, since you think that a prisoner of war can be exchanged for a stone of food, then you go to the imperial court, what does it mean to go to the prefect's yamen?" Come on, blow people away! ”
Just when Song Huazhu was about to send someone to bombard people, Xu Xian's men and horses also came up with a mess, and the two sides were tense outside the prefect's yamen.
"Xu Hanwen, are you going to rebel? How dare you make a mistake outside the prefect's yamen? Song Huazhu felt that Xu Xian was not easy to mess with, so he asked sharply.
Outside the prefect's yamen, he dared to use a knife and a gun, Song Huazhu thought to himself: "How many tigers does this kid have, and he is not afraid of death?" ”
Xu Xian said: "This official just does everything according to the rules, Song Tongzhi had better go in and inform Governor Liu, if Governor Liu also wants to deny and refuse to give food, it is simply oppressive with power, and this official will not stop there." ”
"Hey, you still won't give up, what's the matter, you still want to mess around?" Song Huazhu said angrily.
"It's hard to say whether it's messy or not, but at least we're going to get our stuff back, brethren, aren't we?" Xu Xian said loudly.
"Yes!" The people brought by Xu Xian, only Xu Xian's fate is obeyed, and none of them are afraid of death, under Xu Xian's call, everyone raised their weapons.
Song Huazhu muttered: "Crazy and crazy, these people follow the surname Xu, and their feelings are all crazy, such a little person, knowing that they are going to die, actually dare to come to the prefect's yamen to make trouble, these people don't want to live!" ”
Song Huazhu really didn't have much to do, he could only let people control the situation outside and prevent the two sides from fighting, and at the same time, he had to go in person to explain the situation outside to the prefect Liu Youkuan.
When Liu Youkuan knew that Xu Xian outside had brought people to make trouble and ask for food, he couldn't help coughing violently.
"Ahem, ahem...... What did you say? The kid surnamed Xu is here again? Do you want to ask the official for food? He...... Did he eat the bear's heart and leopard gall and didn't want to live? Liu Youkuan said while coughing.
"My lord, this is the most unusual, I don't know where this kid got the courage, he seems to be not afraid of death, if he is not a big man, let's do it directly, anyway, he came to cause trouble first, and he didn't take care of it when he went back to report it to the court!" Song Huazhu couldn't help it a little and proposed directly.
"Fart!" Liu and Kuan said, "If he makes trouble outside the prefect's yamen, everyone will think that there is something strange in it, he is a prefect, why does he dare to cause trouble outside the prefect's yamen?" Even if it is obvious that he is causing trouble, when he goes to the court, the people in the court will feel that the official is framing him! ”
Song Huazhu was surprised: "My lord, do you still want to give him food?" ”
Liu Hekuan said angrily: "This is what puzzles the official, where did he get the confidence to dare to come to the prefect's yamen to make trouble?" ”
The staff member surnamed Sun next to him said: "My lord, this person has no experience as an official, he is arrogant, he doesn't understand the etiquette in the officialdom at all, everything is done according to his ideas, the so-called newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, he dares to take less than a hundred people to fight Heifeng Village and Qingyang Village, it is enough to see that this person has no brains, just relying on a brute force, maybe his luck is too good, he will actually succeed, and now he wants to use this trick to deal with you, adults......"
"Damn, this official still has to give in to such a reckless man?" Liu Youkuan was also angry, and when he was angry, he began to cough again.
The staff surnamed Sun said: "Since the adults have already decided to kill him on his way back, then you might as well give him this batch of grain, four hundred stone of grain is not much, give it to him, as long as he leaves the city, can he still fly with wings?" With this batch of grain, he can't go back to Yanshan County lightly, and this batch of grain may become his life-saving food! ”
"Huh?" Liu Youkuan's face improved slightly, and he nodded, "You have some truth in what you said, this surnamed Xu came to Fucheng in less than two days, and even the starry night, if he uses the same itinerary when he goes back, I am afraid that it will not be easy to ambush him on the road, but if he brings this batch of grain back...... His trip will inevitably be delayed! ”
Song Huazhu asked, "Lord Prefect, what about this batch of grain...... To give, or not to give? ”
"Give! Isn't it just 400 stone of grain? It adds up to more than 40,000 catties, let him bring so much food back, keep it and let him go all the way bumpy and all the way, when the time comes, kill these people, and then get the food back, the official will not lose at all! Liu Youkuan clenched his fists and said.
Song Huazhu glanced at the staff surnamed Sun, and finally shook his head helplessly and said: "My lord, if you give him food and are run away by him, you don't know when you will be able to kill him next time!" ”
"Don't talk about discouragement!" Liu Hekuan said sharply, "This kid is just a magistrate, he only brought one or twenty people to Fucheng, and he has to escort four hundred stone of grain back, if he doesn't have enough carriage, the official will lend him the carriage, but the man can't borrow it, let him take it, and then how to return it to the official!" cough cough cough ......"
