Chapter 169: Release the People

"Hey, why are you here, I haven't seen you for so long, it looks pretty good" Wu Yuanqing wondered how he could meet acquaintances or enemies in this remote and remote place. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Why don't you care why I'm here, I ask you, why do you want to detain Liang Shidu's son for no reason, you are provoking a provocation, do you know, what qualifications do you have to meddle in Shuofang's military affairs" The person shouted loudly in fierce words.

", Xue Yuanjing gave you face, right, what qualifications do you have to shout at Lao Tzu, do you care how Lao Tzu uses it" Wu Yuanqing was furious in his heart, and scolded back directly.

The person who came turned out to be Xue Yuanjing, who had a blind date with Wang Ziyu and had a conflict with Wu Yuanqing in Jinyang.

Wu Yuanqing also understood at this time, this guy was accused of being in front of Li Shimin because he deceived Li Chengqian, and as a result, he was sadly assigned by Li Shimin to the command of Li Ji, the governor of Bingzhou, which was almost exactly the same as being demoted this time.

It's just that he was demoted to Daizhou as a recorder to join the army, and this guy was demoted to Yunzhou and called Yunzhong to join the army as a recorder.

Look, this official position is exactly the same, it's really fate, Wu Yuanqing even wondered if this was deliberately arranged by Li Shimin, otherwise how could it be so coincidental that the two of them were demoted, exactly the same official position, one in Daizhou and one in Yunzhou, one in the south of Shuofang, and one in the east of Shuofang, and they all bordered, so close to each other.

As for how Xue Yuanjing appeared in Shuofang, according to Wu Yuanqing's estimate, this guy is almost the same as himself, and he has nothing to do in the army, so he came to Shuofang, otherwise even if Captain Wu sent someone to Yunzhou for help, it would not be possible to arrive so quickly, let alone arrive, it is impossible to rush to Yunzhou in such a short time.

Sure enough, the people sent by Captain Wu to Yunzhou for help ran from behind Xue Yuanjing to report that they had just met Xue Yuanjing and his party just a few miles out of the city, and then after explaining the situation to Xue Yuanjing, Xue Yuanjing sent his subordinates back to Yunzhou to report the news, and he followed these people back again.

"Piff, release him quickly, otherwise this official will definitely join you" Xue Yuanjing said loudly.

"Get out, Lao Tzu won't let people go, what can you do" Wu Yuanqing smiled disdainfully.

Captain Wu knew Xue Yuanjing, he had met him twice before, and knew that he was one of the eighteen bachelors of King Qin, and although he was demoted now, he could not afford to provoke him.

Seeing that Xue Yuanjing and Wu Yuanqing were fighting against each other, Captain Wu was one head and two big, and hurriedly dissuaded them, and diluted them.

But these two people are not easy to get along, one keeps accusing saying that he wants to write to the emperor to complain, the other sneers at each other, and there is also Cheng Chumo next to him, who is eager to try to do it, and a girl who looks hateful and angry.

The group returned to Captain Wu's residence, which was also the camp of the army.

At this time, the outside of the barracks was already full of people, all of them panicked and uneasy, and their faces were miserable.

"General Wu, I heard that the other side is coming? And slaughter the city? A middle-aged fat man who looked like a squire couldn't wait to ask when he saw Captain Wu.

"That ,,, shouldn't be able to fight, and even if they do, they won't be able to beat us," Captain Wu said with a dry laugh.

"Nonsense, you have arrested the prince of the people, and you want to kill the head, can the people not fight them, how can you beat so many people with 300 people," said an old woman in her sixties.

"Aunt Liu, where did you hear this, why didn't I know about this," Captain Wu frowned and asked.

"Child, don't care where you hear it, we are all villagers, you can't harm us, listen to the words of the eldest lady, how can you catch it and put it back," the old woman said.

Hearing these conversations, Wu Yuanqing understood, feeling that Captain Wu was also a native of Shuofang, no wonder he didn't worry about the safety of those people shuttling between the East and West Cities, it turned out that he really knew the roots.

From here, I also knew why these people knew what was happening on the other side of the earthen wall so quickly and gathered here, apparently informed by their own local soldiers.

Faced with the old woman's pleading, Captain Wu was speechless in embarrassment.

Wu Yuanqing smiled faintly and said, "People, I will never let it go." If you are worried about the enemy slaughtering the city, you can hurry up and leave Shuofang at night, and in one night, I think you should be able to escape for dozens of miles and hide in a safe place."

"Why can't you let people go?" asked the fat squire.

"yes, why"

"Are you trying to kill us?"

It was a matter of life and death, and these people overcame their natural fear of officials at this moment, and they opened their mouths to ask questions.

"Because Liang Lie killed this girl's grandfather, he had to pay for his life if he killed someone, so he had to die," Wu Yuanqing pointed to the girl and explained the facts.

"My lord, for the sake of a dead person to catch up with so many of us, how can you bear it" It was still the fat squire who said this.

"We don't know her, so why should we be implicated in order to avenge her"

"Yes, they are not from our Shuofang, why should we suffer with them?"

"How innocent we are, why should we pay for the lives of others"

"Release people"

"Release people"

"Let her get out of Shuofang"

"Get out of the square"

"Get Out"

For a while, the crowd was excited, and no one was willing to risk the lives of his whole family or leave his hometown and flee Shuofang for an irrelevant person.

At this moment, Wu Yuanqing found that he had nothing to say, what these people said was right, in order to bring justice to one person, he might kill half of the people in the city, just like they asked, why.

Wu Yuanqing, who only sees right and wrong, rarely can't convince himself in his heart, because these people are not wrong.

Wu Yuanqing was speechless, Xue Yuanjing seized the opportunity to speak, and directly promised to take care of everything: "Don't worry, this official will let them let people go, and they will definitely not let you suffer any harm."

"The old body has thanked the adult"

"What a good officer"

"Good Officer"

Compared with the questioning of Wu Yuanqing, Xue Yuanjing received praise and gratitude.

The surging public opinion and Xue Yuanjing's competitive statement seemed to give Liang Lie great confidence, even much more confidence than before, because this time it was the people of Bancheng and another qualified Tang official who wanted to release him.

He was beaten by Wu Yuanqing before and cried and begged for mercy, but then he raised his head and glanced at the expressionless Wu Yuanqing with a sneer, spit out a mouthful of bloody spittle and said loudly: "Unless you hand over that little slut to me for disposal, even if you let me go, I will slaughter the city tomorrow."

This is the third time Liang Lie has said this, and he really doesn't change his life, every time he feels a little confident, he will make such a non-trivial request, the first two times he was slapped back by Wu Yuanqing, but this time Wu Yuanqing didn't speak, and watched coldly, ready to see how Xue Yuanjing dealt with it.
