Chapter 407: Transforming Elbows and Armpits (Part II)
As the night deepened, it made the surroundings more quiet, and it seemed that even the sound of the wind whistling from the roof could be clearly distinguished by Liu Yingji, who was in the house, which made his already not very calm heart tighten, and he stood up and sat down with some uneasiness.

After perceiving his gaffe, Liu Yingji unconsciously showed a wry smile: "The longer you have been an official, the less daring you are?" At the beginning, even if I encountered the siege of the Mongols, I would not have such a restless situation, and today I am only dealing with some caged prey, but I am always afraid. ”
He was sure that this time it would be a safe bet. Datong had always been under the control of his governor, and those opponents, whether it was Yang Zhen or the old men of the three major families, would never have thought that they would take the risk of launching a counterattack at this time.
And even if they knew, what would they do? Surrounded by hundreds of soldiers, the only thing they could do if they didn't want to die was to be captured. As long as these guys are taken down, he Liu Yingji still has the possibility of flipping the entire unfavorable situation.
After constantly giving himself hints of victory in his heart, the heart that had been beating fast slowly calmed down. Liu Yingji breathed a long sigh of relief at this time, picked up the tea bowl and took a sip of the already cold tea, and then frowned: "Someone!" ”
Hearing the greeting of the adults, the subordinates who had been waiting outside immediately flashed out: "What do you command?" ”
"Why don't you have any eyesight? The official's tea is cold, and no one comes to refill some water, do you still want to let the official do it himself? Liu Yingji scolded with some dissatisfaction.
"My lord's forgiveness, it's you who just said that you asked the little ones not to come and disturb you......" The man hurriedly whispered and explained the situation.
"Uh......" Liu Yingji remembered that he had such an order before, but under the nervousness of Fang Cai, he forgot about it. However, as a superior, it is naturally impossible to apologize to the people below, so he straightened his face and said: "Then serve hot tea to the official now, and go to the yamen to see, it's been more than an hour, why is there no news from both sides." ”
"Yes." The next person could see that his master was not in a very good mood today, so he naturally didn't dare to say anything more, so he immediately took the order and did it.
Only a moment later, a bowl of hot tea was held by him in front of Liu Yingji, and at the same time, there was a noise in the front yard, which made Liu Yingji's face, which was not in a very good mood. Just as he wanted to say something, he suddenly paused again, at this time, the only people who could make such a big move in the yamen were those who came back after doing something.
"Looks like they're finally back!" Thinking of this, Liu Yingji got up from his seat and wanted to go out to meet those people and see how they were doing. But as soon as the person walked to the door, Liu Yingji thought of something again, and after a pause, he turned back and sat back in his position, picking up a book that he couldn't read at all just now, and holding the tea bowl and sending it to his mouth.
I didn't want him to forget that this tea was freshly brewed, and when I drank it, he screamed in pain, and almost threw the tea bowl on the ground, so he was not embarrassed.
Just when Liu Yingji put down the cup of hot tea, picked up the herbal tea on the side and drank the burns that had relieved his tongue, several figures had appeared in front of the door.
Liu Yingji caught a glimpse of the figure with his spare eyes, hurriedly put away the embarrassed appearance just now, and asked very indifferently: "Have you brought everyone back?" ”
"I've brought them all back."
"Huh?" Governor Liu, who wanted to pretend to be a general, was stunned when he heard this somewhat familiar, but it was definitely not Guo Rong's voice, and then suddenly raised his head and looked at the door. This look made him stunned on the spot, and the impact in his heart was worse than being scalded by the hot tea just now, just because the one who spoke was Yang Zhen who seemed to be smiling but not smiling.
Yang Zhen, who had already been tied up in his mind, had been reduced to a prisoner, and could be killed with just a word, appeared in front of Liu Yingji generously at this moment, and there was a smug smile on his face that he had everything under control and when a cat played with mice.
"You...... How did you get in here? Liu Yingji had countless questions in his mind - why wasn't he arrested? How have things changed? And the men I sent against him? …… But in the end, all the questions were replaced by him with such a question.
And Yang Zhen's answer was very absolute: "Of course it came in, can it still fly in?" ”
"You ......" Faced with such an answer, Liu Yingji didn't know what to say for a while, but his heart was gradually tightened, knowing that something had gone wrong, and it was a big mistake, and the situation had completely developed in the direction of getting out of control. What made him even more panicked was that he didn't even know what was going on and what the problem was.
Yang Zhen had already strolled into the room at this moment, then sat on a chair, looked up at Liu Yingji for a long time, and then sighed: "Your Governor Liu's courage is indeed very great, even I was really shocked after I just learned about your decision." I want to take down all the heads of the three major families with lightning speed, and then get rid of me, and then force the people of the three families to rehabilitate you. You're really good at what you want. ”
Seeing that Yang Zhen broke through his mind with a word, and was still there in admiration, Liu Yingji's heart had completely sunk to the bottom: "You even know this matter clearly? How the hell do you do that? ”
"Have you forgotten who I am, my lord? Is there any news in the world that we Jinyiwei can't grasp? You Liu Futai also overestimated yourself and the people under you, right? Yang Zhen said mockingly.
These words were like a slap in the face of Liu Yingji, making his originally somewhat pale face appear red. But then, he shook his head again: "Impossible, even if you Jinyi Wei are pervasive, it is impossible for you to find out about this matter." Only the few people I trusted most knew about it, and they didn't know my true intentions until I decided to do it. Don't try to deceive me! ”
After Yang Zhen heard his words, a trace of embarrassment flashed on his face. He originally wanted to use his words just now to break the other party's mental defense, so that he could get more valuable things from Liu Yingji. But unexpectedly, even under such circumstances, Governor Liu was still conscious and saw that he was just deceiving each other.
Seeing Yang Zhen showing such an appearance, Liu Yingji became more sure of his judgment in his heart, and at the same time, an answer was about to come out: "It was Guo Rong who betrayed me!" Otherwise, you won't be here, I'm right, right? As he spoke, he raised his voice and shouted outside: "Guo Rong, do you dare to admit it, a treacherous fellow, don't you even have the courage to come out and meet this official?" ”
Yang Zhen really admired this Lord Liu's reaction and judgment at this moment, and in just a short moment, he guessed the truth of the matter.
Sure enough, with Liu Yingji's shouts, a middle-aged general with a dark face flashed by the door, he was the right-hand man who had been accompanying Governor Liu, the chief soldier Guo Rong. It's just that at this moment, General Guo didn't see the demeanor of a general with the troops, but was a little shrunken, obviously he still felt a little guilty about betraying Liu Yingji.
"Sure enough, you betrayed me!" Seeing Guo Rong come out in response, Liu Yingji's body shook violently, and his face was even whiter without any blood. He knew very well in his heart that this time he was completely finished, and there could not even be a chance to turn the tables.
That's why there was such a judgment just now, and Liu Yingji just made a bold guess based on the situation in front of him. But I didn't expect that what I thought was the worst might be true, then he completely lost all his hole cards, and he could only fight me for the fish.
After a long time, Liu Yingji stared at Guo Rong: "Why?" Why are you doing this? ”
"Xiaguan...... I also made this decision out of desperation. Guo Rong's face was also very gloomy and said: "My family has long fallen into their hands, as long as I refuse to cooperate, they will be killed." And Yang Qianhu also promised that as long as I am anyway, I am not to blame for the past, and I can still be my Datong commander-in-chief. ”
"Huh...... I see...... Liu Yingji sneered: "I can't imagine that I have always treated you well and supported you, but you repay me like this, good, good!" ”
"There is a big problem with Lord Liu's words. Guo Zongbing is not your personal person, but an official of the imperial court, since you have violated the law and discipline, he has the responsibility to report as an official. Moreover, your so-called kindness is just trying to borrow the military power in his hands, otherwise you will not be able to see the difficulties in his heart these days, and thus completely fail? Yang Zhen said lazily.
"You ......" Liu Yingji was very annoyed when he heard this, but he couldn't find the words to refute it all of a sudden, so he could only stare at Yang Zhen fiercely, panting heavily.
"Well, don't talk too much nonsense. Liu Yingji, you should know all the crimes you have committed, and now I will detain you in the name of the Qincha, and then send you to the capital, and the Son of Heaven will condemn you! As he spoke, Yang Zhen waved his hand: "Tie him up for me." ”
The two soldiers entered the door in response, and after only a little hesitation, they stepped forward and pressed Liu Yingji, who had no intention of resisting, tied his hands behind his back, and escorted him out.
After being taken out of the door, Liu Yingji saw that there were still many acquaintances standing outside, and Shen Nian and other colleagues were also treated with him, and they were also tied with their hands and escorted by military guards. In addition, the three old men stood at the other end affectionately and complexly, and after staring at him for a few times, they sighed lightly and looked elsewhere.
"It's over...... I can't imagine that I, Liu Yingji, have been up and down in the officialdom for many years, but in the end I was defeated in the hands of such a stunned young man......" In the end, there was only one thought left in Governor Liu's heart.
