Chapter 45: The Second Whitewashing Plan
"Huh~!"
Holding the reins in front of the gate of Wufu, Wu Song threw off his horse and shouted: "Out of the city, out of the city!" Brother, I watched those Liangshan thieves get out of the city with my own eyes! ”
When Wu Yong led the troops to retreat slowly, Wu Kai did not let go, but ordered everyone to be vigilant, and then sent Erlang to follow from afar on horseback - you must know that Zhiduoxing Wu Yong is the master who likes to use 'deception' the most on Liangshan. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
[As for the yellow-maned horse under Erlang's crotch, it was originally Liu Tang's mount, and he was brought back from Huafu. 】
Knowing that Wu Yong didn't play any tricks, a boulder in Wu Kai's heart finally fell to the ground, and he was thinking about how to 'deal with the aftermath', when he suddenly heard a muffled sound behind him, and looked back, but saw Fahai sitting on the ground gasping for breath, full of joy that he had escaped death.
The others were similar, they all looked weak for the rest of their lives, and if Wu Yong led his troops back now, they would not necessarily have the strength to resist - this is why Wu Kai had just urged them not to relax.
Wu Kai kicked at Fahai and scolded: "Get up! You look like you've just won a battle?! ”
As he spoke, he took a few steps, jumped onto the Taishi chair that he had used to interrogate Liu Tang just now, and asked loudly at the victims: "Fellow fathers and fellow villagers, we have repelled hundreds of thieves with outnumbered enemies, is this a big victory?!" ”
The victims of the disaster didn't react for a while, you look at me, I look at you, or a few faithful believers rushed to respond, and only then did the others respond sparsely.
Wu Kai continued to ask impassionedly as if he didn't see the chaos in the audience: "We killed more than 100 enemies, but only one was slightly injured, is it a victory?!" ”
"Count!"
"Of course!"
"It's a big win!"
The answer from the underground, although it was still a little messy, had already been mobilized by Wu Kai - after all, no matter how you look at it, the casualties of 0 to 100 are definitely a victory.
"But the credit for this is not mine, nor Erlang's, nor is it the monk's team!" Wu Kai pointed over one by one, and finally pointed his finger at the victims, and said loudly: "This victory is fought by all of us together, if it weren't for all the villagers and my brother standing here side by side, those thieves would have attacked us when they saw that we were alone!" You say, is this the credit of our big guys?! ”
"Yes!"
At least half of them responded in unison.
"Isn't it?!"
"Yes!"
This time it's four out of five.
"Isn't it?!"
"Yes!"
There is 'a lie repeated a thousand times and it becomes the truth', not to mention Wu Kai, who still puts gold on their faces?
In the end, even those who wanted to flee in panic just now shouted with flushed faces, as if they were really some kind of anti-thief heroes.
Seeing that their emotions were almost mobilized, Wu Kai immediately stretched out his hand and pointed to the corpse in the doorway, and said loudly: "Everyone! We are willing to take risks and fight with thieves for the sake of the people of this city, although we don't ask for anything in return, but we can't walk at night! I suggest that we carry the corpses of the thieves and parade around the city. So that people can know who saved the people of this city! ”
The people who are incited will always be blind and excited.
Especially this group of disaster victims, who used to be at the bottom of the society [otherwise the house would not collapse so easily], and I don't know how many white eyes I have received, but now I heard that there is an opportunity to show off their might and show their saints in front of the fathers and elders of the city, and it is really as enthusiastic as possible!
One by one, they didn't even feel that the death of those thieves was terrifying, and they even wished they had more blood on their bodies, so that they could appear to be brave and fearless-even the old men and old ladies who usually walked tremblingly gritted their teeth and refused to take half a step.
Fortunately, the Liang thieves had already taken away all the corpses inside and outside Huafu, otherwise someone would have to die of exhaustion.
Seeing this scene, Wu Song was a little unhappy, and came to Wu Kai's side and complained: "Brother, what kind of trouble are you making, obviously those thieves were killed by me, how did they get the credit?!" ”
Wu Kai smiled disapprovingly, and asked rhetorically: "Even if they say that they killed themselves, how many people will believe it?" In the end, didn't the credit fall on our brothers?! Now just give them a little profit, so that they can willingly help us become famous, which is called a smart approach. ”
"High~ It's really high!"
Fahai shook his head vigorously, looking as intoxicated as hearing Tianyin, and his mouth was even more ruthless: "Master really knows how to control, after this battle, he will definitely make the people of the city return to their hearts!" ”
The current appearance of this guy is very much like the fat translator in a red classic.
Wu Song still hesitated, hesitated for a while, and then muttered: "Brother, you just said a lot of good things about Liangshan, and now you are trampling the corpses of their accomplices, if it spreads, I'm afraid it will be ......."
"Isn't that easy? After going around the city, the corpse was transported outside the city for burial, and the tombstone of the 'Liangshan Hero' was erected, who would dare to say that we were practicing the corpse? ”
Wu Kai said, but his eyes turned to Li Bei'er, this little lady was leaning towards Erlang without a trace, only the embarrassed Erlang was not hiding or staying.
stared at Li Bei'er for a moment, and just when she seemed to be aware, Wu Kai suddenly ordered: "Fahai, don't stop your vulgar talk today, and publicize the matter of our defeat of the Liangshan thieves!" ”
"Master, don't worry, I promise to make everyone who hears it like a ......."
"And!"
Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Wu Kai pointed at Li Bei'er again and said: "Let's talk about the two of them together, and make sure everyone feels that she and Hua Zi are separated [that is, divorce], which is a forced choice!" ”
"Ah~!"
Before Fahai could speak, Li Bei'er had already exclaimed, and then knelt down in front of Wu Kai in ecstasy, kowtowed, and said, "Thank you Uncle for your success, thank you Uncle for your success!" ”
She will climb the pole when she arrives, but she directly thinks of herself as Wu Song's woman.
Wu Song's face turned red, and he didn't know whether he was angry or ashamed, and stomped his feet, and said, "Brother, this ......"
"Needless to say, in a few days you will marry her as a concubine - I am in charge of this matter!"
Wu Kai didn't give him a chance to shirk at all, and by the way, he also arranged a new task for Erlang: "Don't be idle, take someone to get a box of detonators and three muskets, go and seal the city gate for me, no one is allowed to enter or leave the city gate without my order!" ”
Wu Song looked at Li Bei'er, and then at Wu Kai, but after all, he didn't say anything, and led the monks and soldiers to start busy.
After assigning all the tasks one by one, Wu Kai went back to the backyard alone, sat on the Taishi chair in the middle of the hall, and muttered for a long time.
He is now faced with a very difficult choice - that is, whether to go to Liangshan or not.
Before today, Wu Kai's idea of going to Liangshan and falling into the grass has never wavered, not that he likes Liangshan heroes - in fact, he has always felt that the word 'hero' must be put in quotation marks.
The reason why Wu Kai wanted to go to Liangshan was actually because in this world, he was most familiar with the situation in Liangshan, and now that he had become a murderer, of course, he had to choose the most familiar thief's nest.
In addition, in fact, there is another important reason, in a few years, the north of the Yangtze River will become a battlefield between the Song and Jin countries, if Wu Kai can train a group of elite soldiers on Liangshan, even if he can't turn the tide, at least he can retreat and protect himself.
That's why he wanted to go to Liangshan to settle for grass.
But......
Today's accident made Wu Kai hesitate, no matter what, it was dozens of lives, and the face of the red-haired ghost Liu Tang - although he didn't have any good looks, maybe because of this, Liu Tang cared more about his face?
In short, the future of going to Liangshan to fall into the grass has been overshadowed.
But as the saying goes, blessings and misfortunes depend on them, and misfortunes and blessings depend on them - Wu Kai saw an opportunity from this crisis, an opportunity to stay in Yanggu and continue to develop and grow!
Although the Liangshan thieves came and went in a hurry, the movement was not small at all, especially the burning of the yamen and the looting of the official warehouse, which were definitely unbearable pain for the magistrates, not to mention what Li County order, even if it was Chen Taishou and Wu Jingui of Dongping Mansion, I am afraid that they would have to eat a lot of hanging.
What's even more coincidental is that Wu Kai happened to hear Pang Chunmei mention it a few days ago, saying that Wu Jingui and Chen Taishou would be transferred to Gao Sheng after the New Year.
Today's incident can be said to be holding Li Countyling's head on the one hand, and the future of Chen Taishou and Wu Jingui on the other.
That's why Wu Kai asked Wu Song to block the city gate, and let the victims spread all over the city to publicize their great achievements in resisting thieves, in order to temporarily block the news, and then coerce the public opinion of the city to go to the county commanders, Taishou, and the capital eunuchs to negotiate conditions.
As for Liangshan's side, although it will also publicize this matter, how can the government easily accept the words of this thief.
Besides, Wu Kai did not intend to completely conceal this matter, but was ready to formulate a version of three points of false and seven points true according to the results of the negotiation.
Of course, it is useless to have a handle in his hand, and it is useless to poke it out, so he was arbitrary, and forced Wu Song to accept Li Bei'er as a concubine - the name of Liang Zhongshu of the Daimyo Mansion, and get the officialdom to bluff people, which is really suitable!
And Wu Kai felt that his requirements were not too high, and he only needed to completely clear the charge of killing more than 20 people such as Ximenqing, Pan Jinlian, and Wang Po.
success, then everyone is happy; Defeated, it's a big deal to grit your teeth and go to Liangshan.
All in all, it's worth a try!
"Master, master?"
Wu Kai was thinking about a new whitewashing plan, but he heard someone next to him shouting his name, he raised his eyes impatiently, but it was Pang Chunmei who came over - a very discerning maid like her, if it was not necessary, she would definitely not come forward to disturb her thinking.
What's wrong again?!
