Chapter Two Hundred and Four: I almost died of anger
Lingzhou City is divided into four city gates, east and west, north and south, of which due north and east are the main city gates, and 4,000 people are stationed respectively. The other two gates were only garrisoned by 2,000 men.
Of course, this is because the terrain to the west and south of Lingzhou City is relatively complex, and it is too difficult to attack the city.
And the Li Duwei in Cui Shi's mouth is a member of the garrison stationed at the North Gate, and he commands 2,000 government soldiers.
As soon as he heard that the other party wanted to calm the chaos, Qin Ze was not worried at all. Instead, he stared at Cui Shi calmly, he didn't believe that he Cui Shi could toss anything.
Soon a team rushed over from the north, led by Captain Li of the Beicheng Army.
In an instant, the atmosphere of the entire Lingzhou City became a little tense, and the people who were still hiding at the door and peeking at the door would also burrow into their own holes.
The entire street was surrounded by soldiers, trapping Qin Ze and them firmly in it. Su Dingfang didn't say a word, he took out his horse lance and protected Qin Ze's side.
Soon, Cheng Chumo on the other side also rushed over with two thousand soldiers, and the situation became extremely complicated for a while.
Cui Shi glanced back at Cheng Chumo, who rushed over, with an unkind look in his eyes, staring at him and saying angrily: "What does Cheng Duwei mean by this?" β
To be honest, what Cui Shi relies on is nothing more than the Cui family behind him, and just relying on the identity of the Cui family is enough for him to run rampant in Lingzhou City.
But no matter what Cheng Chumo said, he is also a member of the Cheng family, and if he Cui Shi really wants to move him, he has to weigh it.
Cheng Chumo first glanced at Cui Shi, and then nodded at Li Duwei on the side. Only then did he reply to Cui Shishi: "Cheng heard that there was a rebellion in Lingzhou City, and he was afraid of hurting Lord Cui's body, so he came to protect Lord Cui, and asked Lord Cui to bear more if he offended." β
"Humph!" Cui Shi snorted coldly, but there was no chaos to investigate. Instead, he turned his head and squinted at Qin Ze. Dong Sima on the side also came up at this time, and whispered a few words next to his ear. Immediately, Cui Shi's eyebrows were raised, and his face was full of smiles.
He raised his hand and pointed at Qin Ze, and ordered at Li Duwei: "Come on, take down this chaotic minister and thief for me!" β
"Rebels and thieves?" Qin Ze shook his head and looked at Cui Shi with a look of pity, and only said in a half-loud voice: "I don't know where the chaos came from?" β
When Qin Ze said this, Su Dingfang had already taken the lead. Those who originally belonged to the Nanding Army also lit up their swords.
"Old Su, take the knife back. lest Master Cui deduct another charge of rebellion for us. β
can say the word rebellion so calmly, it is estimated that Qin Ze is alone. The first strike is stronger, and what he said really shocked Cui Shi's heart.
Li Duwei was still standing to the side at this time, and he didn't take a step closer. After all, in his heart, Qin Ze is a returning hero, and Cui Shi is just a rat.
Cui Shi also saw Li Duwei's thoughts, and a cold light flashed in his eyes. But he suddenly smiled and said to Qin Ze: "Dare to ask Deputy Lieutenant Qin how many high-ranking officials my Datang Inspector is there?" β
"Self is the fifth grade." Qin Ze smiled indifferently and looked directly at Cui Shi, but there was no trace of panic in his heart.
"Then dare to ask Deputy Lieutenant Qin, how many high-ranking officials is this Deputy Lieutenant Yimo?" Cui Shi did not give up.
Qin Ze glanced at the water stains on the ground that had not yet dried, and said contemptuously: "It is the seventh grade. β
"Wrong, it's from the seventh grade." Cui Shi flicked his sleeves and said in a cold voice: "Then do you know what the crime of disobeying the imperial court officials should be?" β
Sure enough, Cui Shi and Second Master Cui could only use their identities to bully Qin Ze.
According to the "Tang Law", the following offenses should be held accountable, and they will be demoted to punishment at least and directly dismissed from their posts. But if it is an important official who represents His Majesty's will like the Inspector, it will be a thousand miles to disobey them, and it will be light to be assigned to the army, and it will be light to lose his head seriously.
"Lord Cui wants to cure me for the following crimes?" Qin Ze asked without answering.
"Is it possible that you still want to disobey Cui?" Cui Shi sneered.
"Tsk~" Qin Zega pouted, and pushed away Su Dingfang who was blocking him with one hand. Then he walked in front of Cui Shi, shook his head and said, "Qin doesn't know something, and I ask Master Cui to teach me." β
"Speak!" Cui Shi didn't believe that Qin Ze could really say that black was white, after all, how Qin Ze targeted Cui Er Ye before, but so many people saw it.
Qin Ze saw the excitement on Cui Shi's face, and the disgust in his heart was even worse. It's just that the time hasn't come now, otherwise Qin Ze would want to go up and beat people directly.
"Lady Cui kept saying that I was guilty of disobedience to the imperial court. Then dare to ask Master Cui, how did Qin commit the crime, and how did he disobey? β
"This~" Cui Shi was stunned, he was not at the scene before, and he didn't understand what was going on. Just saw Cui Erye crawling on the ground with a handful of snot and tears, so he naturally took it for granted that it was Qin Ze's hands and feet. But now he is in a difficult position.
Fortunately, Dong Sima was on the side before, so Cui Shi also arrested him.
Such a good opportunity to perform, how could Dong Sima let it go, and immediately explained how Qin Ze scared Second Master Cui and how he kicked Second Master Cui again.
In the end, he is a master who is afraid of sycophants, and when Dong Sima said this, Qin Ze directly became a thief who did all kinds of evil and dared to act recklessly. Then Second Master Cui has become a good official who is sincerely worried about the country and the people.
Cui Shi also snorted coldly while listening, and when Dong Sima finished speaking, he directly glared at Qin Ze angrily, and pretended to reprimand with a righteous face: "The patrol envoy is appointed by His Majesty and represents His Majesty's will, so you are so bold and reckless, and you still say that it is not a chaotic army?" β
"Rebels?" Qin Ze chuckled directly, interrupting Cui Shi's righteous words. He pointed to the soldiers behind him and said, "Have you ever saluted the Inspector before?" β
"Good!"
"Have you ever stopped the patrol envoy from taking a step?"
"Good!"
"Then have you ever bullied the Inspector?"
"Good!"
The neat and uniform answer immediately made the eyes of everyone present light up. Those soldiers who did not belong to the Nanding Army were a little unable to keep up at first, but in the end they were completely brought in.
Even Li Duwei and the others on the side looked at Qin Ze and them with a look of surprise. I only feel that Qin Ze's army is more tacit than theirs.
After asking these questions, Qin Ze turned his gaze to Dong Sima again. said again: "Does Dong Sima have any objections? β
"That head ......"
"In the first battle of Xishan, my soldiers fought bravely to kill the enemy and won the head of the famous Turkic general Tiele Bone, is there any inconsistency if you want to ask the inspector to make an inventory?"
"The previous war horse ......" Dong Sima felt that he might be planted today. This Qin Ze was obviously not like the generals he had contacted before, and in him he saw the sophistry of the literati.
"This war horse was exchanged from the Turks, so naturally it was at odds with the Inspector. What does the patrol make if he accidentally startles the war horse, and what does it have to do with us? Qin Ze had even more smiles on his face, joking that he couldn't talk about a little Sima?
"The ...... of the previous kick"
"If I hadn't pushed the Inspector away at a critical moment, I'm afraid that the Inspector would have been seriously injured under the horse's hooves. It's you ......" Qin Ze said this, looked at Dong Sima with a blank gaze, and asked: "It's that you stand by and watch at the critical moment when the patrol makes the adults critical, isn't there something wrong with it?" β
As soon as he said this, the powerful aura directly shook Dong Sima back again and again. In Qin Ze's words, he belongs to the outbreak of Wang Ba's qi at this moment, and he has the courage of ten thousand people.
Three rhetorical questions in a row completely made Dong Sima speechless. I trembled for a while, but I couldn't say a word.
Cui Shi on the side couldn't help but look at Qin Ze when he saw this, this young man who made the Cui family lose face, now it seems that he really has a few brushes. The meticulousness of his mind and the sophistry of his thinking can really be regarded as the dragon and phoenix among people.
It's a pity......
Cui Shi glanced back at Cheng Chumo behind him, and sneered: "Then dare to ask Deputy Lieutenant Qin, what is the crime of this private transfer of troops?" β
As soon as these words came out, Cheng Chumo was also shocked. He didn't expect Cui Shi to really dare to ask him about the Cheng family's crimes, you must know that all the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty are inextricably linked to the Cheng family. With the name of Cheng Laoyou's founding hero, no one in this court is allowed to sell his face.
A good hand of cards is played poorly, and it is a person like Cui Shi. was forced to a dead end by Qin Ze, where did he care about this.
It's just that Qin Ze is still unflustered, not only does there not have a trace of panic on his face. Instead, he stretched out his waist, and then asked casually: "Dare to ask Master Cui, who has the final say in this Lingzhou City?" β
"What do you mean?" Cui Shi didn't understand what Qin Ze was doing, and asked with some vigilance.
Qin Ze smiled and continued: "Nothing? However, Qin remembered that this inspector seemed to be sent by His Majesty to inspect the prefectures and counties of Longzhou. I somehow got to this Lingzhou, and I don't know why, I can actually meddle in the affairs of Lingzhou City. Could it be that Your Majesty has given the Inspector the power of Lingzhou on the left side of the Inspectorate? β
Cui Shi said that Cheng Chumo transferred troops privately, and he Cui Erye did not overstep his authority to meddle in Lingzhou's affairs. Moreover, Li Er has always been the most taboo for civilian officials to meddle in the affairs of military attachΓ©s, and if he stabs Chang'an on this basis, it is estimated that Cui Erye's exile will be light.
And even if he Cui Shi has the Cui family on top, he is afraid that he will shed his skin if he does not die.
"You~You~You~"
Cui Shi pointed at Qin Ze and said three words in a row, but he couldn't spit out half a sentence. If it weren't for Dong Sima's quick eyes and quick hands and helping Cui Shi back to the other driving mansion, it is estimated that this guy would be directly angry with Qin Ze.
Just kidding, he and Qin Ze are better than people, and Cui Shi is too chooseable.
"Hahaha~ It's really happy!"
Sun Yufu on the side, stroked his beard, and said with a laugh.
Li Duwei and Cheng Chumo on the side also greeted him, ready to say hello to Qin Ze. was stopped by Qin Ze, and now is not the time to celebrate. This trip to Xishan let Qin Ze know that it was very likely that the Hulu army had approached Lingzhou City.
Then comes the most dangerous moment!
