Chapter 13: The Book of Archery

When Liu Chengzong came to the city wall, Liu Zheng had already taken people away, so Liu Chengzong didn't see his baby son, and in the face of Qian You's criticism, Liu Chengzong couldn't answer, after all, he didn't know what his son was doing. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Liu Chengzong was silent, Qian You was very unhappy in his heart, and remembered that he came to this Qingzhou Mansion after the difficult situation, and immediately got angry, and scolded the old man for a long time, not only did not extinguish the fire but became more and more angry, the reason for this is because he remembered the food outside his city, it was all silver, and now I don't know if there is any silver, if Liu Zheng really voted for the bandits, eighty percent of the grain is gone, and when he was angry, he asked the soldiers of the Inspection Department to tie up Liu Chengzong.

Liu Chengzong did not resist, and obediently let the soldiers of the Inspection Department tie up, and they rushed into the cell.

That night, someone shot an arrow outside the city, and the arrow was quickly sent to Liu Zheng's tent, after reading the letter tied to the arrow, Liu Zheng pouted disdainfully, he had expected his father to be arrested, and he took people to hang outside the city wall during the day, and everything that happened now is still going according to his plan.

Liu Zheng put down the letter, and the old man Wei beside him picked it up, and after reading it, his face darkened suddenly, and he snorted angrily: "These people really ate the bear's heart and leopard gall, and if they don't teach them a lesson, they really don't know how many eyes Lord Ma has!" ā€

Zhou Yun looked at Liu Zheng in confusion, then at Old Man Wei, and asked, "What happened?" ā€

Liu Zheng shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's not a big deal, it's just that they arrested my father!" ā€

"Huh?" Zhou Yun jumped up from the chair in shock: "What, they arrested my uncle?" Okay, good, good, good dog, second brother don't worry, I'll take someone to knock down this Qingzhou City, catch that bullshit Tongzhi, and cut off his head for the second brother to kick as a ball! ā€

After saying this, Zhou Yun was about to go out, Liu Zheng hurriedly got up and chased after Zhou Yun, grabbed him and said: "Big brother, big brother don't worry, my father will be fine, rest assured, our father and son have been operating in Qingzhou City for so many years, how can my father be fine?" ā€

"Oh, second brother, my uncle has been imprisoned by them, what is the prison of the Yamen, is it a ghost gate, is it okay to go in? You, you, you ......"

You have been for a long time, and Zhou Yun has no reason for you, he originally wanted to say that you are not filial, but he can't say this when it comes to his mouth.

Liu Zheng pulled Zhou Yun hard, pressed him to a chair and said: "Big brother, although relieved, my father has been operating in Qingzhou City for almost 20 years, and in this prefect's yamen, the prefect's speech may not be as effective as my father's words, so even if he is taken to prison, my father will not suffer at all, not to mention, there is me!" ā€

Zhou Yun wanted to say something, but he was pressed hard by Liu Zheng, and then Liu Zheng said: "Why do I have to show up at the city gate during the day, in order to let these people know that I, Liu Zheng, are outside, even if they don't know that I am the main person, they also know that I can talk to the person in charge, those old men are not stupid, they can understand it, so they won't be embarrassed for my father!" ā€

Wei Boyuan also figured it out at this time, and also said: "Yes, I think Brother Liu can't stand any crimes!" ā€

Liu Zheng smiled slightly and said: "Actually, you still have to eat some hardship, on such a cold day, it is not very comfortable in the prison!" ā€

"What then? My uncle is not too young, so what if he really wants to stay in prison for a few days, and he will fall into the root of the disease or something? Zhou Yun was still not very relieved.

Liu Zheng smiled and joked with Zhou Yun: "I said that the two of us are the opposite, you are my father's son?" ā€

"Of course this is a joke, I don't care about my father, we have ruled the country with filial piety for thousands of years, and I can't be an unfilial son, if you want to say that you don't care about my father, it's fake, but no matter how much you care, there is no way to fish him out today, so I will take a letter of resignation early tomorrow morning, and let people send it to the city!"

Wei Boyuan and Zhou Yun nodded, and the two stayed in Liu Zheng's tent for a while before leaving.

After the two of them left, Liu Zheng finished writing a letter, and then asked someone to invite Hu Dongyuan over, Hu Dongyuan didn't know what was going on, and as soon as he entered the tent, he asked: "Lord, what happened to call me over so late?" ā€

"You take a look at this first!" Liu Zheng handed the arrow book to Hu Dongyuan: "The soldiers who patrolled the night tonight handed it to me, tied to the arrow and shot it out of the city!" ā€

Hu Dongyuan suddenly shouted angrily after reading it: "How can this be reasonable, lord, I will take people to take the city!" ā€

Liu Zheng waved his hand and said: "Why are they all so impatient, they all remember for me, I must think twice before doing things and marching and fighting in the future!" ā€

After finishing speaking, he pushed a written letter to the front of the handsome case and said: "Tomorrow, you bring this letter into the city and find the prefect Wang Jiabin, so to speak......

……

Turning the day, when the sky was bright, the patrol officer guarding the city suddenly saw a man on horseback in the distance, the man came to the front alone, the horse stopped in front of the drawbridge, and the man sitting on horseback shouted to the soldiers on the city tower: "My lord has a letter, ordering me to hand it over to the prefect of Qingzhou, quickly put down the drawbridge and open the city gate, I want to enter the city!" ā€

At first glance, the soldiers on the city tower were a little dazed, and when the man shouted twice, one of the soldiers who seemed to be the leader replied: "Strong man, please wait a moment, I will go to report to the prefect!" ā€

The little leader quickly went and returned, but he didn't come back alone, but followed a large number of officials, and the officials looked down, and then you looked at me, I looked at you, I didn't know how to respond, and finally focused on the body of Sun Baicheng, the inspection department, Sun Baicheng was helpless, so he leaned out and shouted to the people below.

"I am Sun Baicheng, the Qingzhou Inspection Division, who is under the city!"

Immediately, the man laughed and said: "Lord Sun, I don't recognize it so soon, could it be that I drank with Lord Sun before, and what Lord Sun said to me was all to me?" ā€

Hu Dongyuan came to such a voice, and the eyes of the officials on the city tower looking at Sun Baicheng were full of doubts, and Sun Baicheng said embarrassedly: "It turned out to be Brother Hu, I don't know what happened to Brother Hu?" ā€

Hu Dongyuan hugged his fists again and said: "My lord has a letter, asking me to hand it over to the prefect in person!" ā€

At this time, everyone took their eyes away from Sun Baicheng and focused on Wang Jiabin, who also said in a loud voice: "I don't know what your lord's surname is?" What is the correspondence with me? ā€

Hu Dongyuan looked at the humanity on the city tower with disdain: "A certain person came alone, and you didn't dare to let a certain person enter the city, so that a certain person really looked down on!" ā€

Everyone on the city tower was embarrassed for a while, and after a long time, Wang Jiabin said: "Let him in!" ā€

Wang Jiabin's voice fell, Sun Baicheng didn't move for a long time, and it took a while before he spoke: "Let him in, pay attention to vigilance, all the archers have their bows and arrows wound!" ā€

The little leader beside Sun Baicheng responded to the order and left, Sun Baicheng was really afraid, when he saw Hu Dongyuan, he understood, completely understood, those people outside were not mountain bandits at all but Liu Chengzong's people, don't look at this Qingzhou, there is still my Ming flag floating on the city, but the real owner inside has become the man who was arrested and put in prison yesterday.

He Sun Baicheng offended this Liu Chengzong to death before, three thousand stone of grain, according to today's market price, that is fifteen thousand taels of silver, this is really a life.

The drawbridge was slowly lowered, the city gate creaked open, and the victims of the labor outside the city stood still, looking at the open city gate, their eyes were full of complicated looks, there were high lords in the city, and they were counting on those lords to save their lives, but who would have thought that their hearts were so ruthless.

On the city wall, on the city tower, and in the city gate, all the soldiers of the inspection department were tense, carefully guarding their surroundings, guarding against the enemy who came out of nowhere, for fear that their own life would be lost if they were not careful, and at the same time, they were also thinking in their hearts that as long as the situation was not right, they would immediately turn around and run, nothing was as important as their own life.

Hu Dongyuan looked at the archers lined up in the city gate, smiled disdainfully, and rode slowly into the city gate hole.

The old gate slowly closed with a creaking sound, completely separating the inside and outside of the city.

The people inside and outside the city are completely in two moods, the hearts of the people outside the city are entangled with a trace of confusion, and the hearts of the people in the city are relieved, and at the same time there is a very strange feeling, as if there is a feeling of being in a cage.

The leading soldier swallowed a mouthful of saliva fiercely and said: "Please dismount this strong man, we will be ordered to search his body, and I hope that this strong man is not strange!" ā€

Hu Dongyuan also knew that these soldiers were acting on orders, and he was not embarrassed, and he did not come to assassinate, so he dismounted very cooperatively, and followed the leading soldier to the city wall after searching.

Ascending the city tower, Hu Dongyuan saw Sun Baicheng shrinking behind everyone at a glance, pursed his lips and smiled disdainfully, and then hugged his fists and said: "I don't know which one is the prefect!" ā€

To tell the truth, Hu Dongyuan's mood is really strange at this time, he has seen these high-ranking officials before, and he either whispered to accompany him or took a detour to hide far away, at this moment there is only one kind of contempt in his heart, it is real contempt, and he doesn't know why it is like this, as if there is an inexplicable confidence in his heart, which makes him unconsciously straighten his waist.

Lu Zuo was quite loyal to Wang Jiabin, and at this time he took the first step, came to the front of everyone, hugged his fist at Hu Dongyuan and said: "This strong man is in Xia Lu Zuo!" After speaking, he respectfully introduced Wang Jiabin beside him and said: "This is Lord Wang of Qingzhou Governor!" After speaking, he said to Hu Dongyuan again: "You said that your lord has a letter to hand over to my family, I don't know if the letter can be handed over to me!" ā€

Lu Zuo was polite enough to Hu Dongyuan, but he didn't report his official position, this is not to talk to you as an official, so that he will not lose the face of the government, even if he loses face, he will lose himself.

Hu Dongyuan didn't know about Lu Zuo's careful thoughts, and he couldn't figure out the way of it, so he happily took out the letter and handed it to Lu Zuo, Lu Zuo pinched it slightly, and his heart was slightly settled, knowing that the envelope was indeed a letter.

Turning around, he bowed to Wang Jiabin with the letter in both hands and said, "My lord, the letter is here!" ā€

Wang Jiabin sighed secretly in his heart, this Lu Zuo was really loyal, he didn't let himself lose half of his face, tried to calm down, pretended to be very casual and took the letter, opened the envelope and read it.

After reading a few words, Wang Jiabin's brows furrowed, and after reading the letter, his face was completely black.

"What do you mean, father-in-law?"
