Chapter Ninety-Three: A Plan to Get Out of Trouble
Hearing this order, Liu Zongmin's subordinates pounced at the same time, pressed the officials to the ground, and beat them desperately.
"Wait a minute." Sun Yuan stopped the two soldiers who were about to step forward to beat Shi Daxiang, the head of the household department, and reached out to touch him in his arms to see if he could find the seal letter of the household department.
But this touch, but it was empty, and my heart suddenly cooled.
I couldn't help but ask, "Where is your official seal?" ”
Shi Daxiang turned his head to the side and ignored it again.
There, there was the muffled sound of sticks smashing against human bodies, followed by the terrible screams of officials.
"Little thief, little thief!"
"A thief surnamed Sun, even if I look like a ghost, I can't spare you!"
After a while, the screaming gradually subsided.
Looking back, the group of officials had been beaten to death on the ground without exception.
Liu Zongmin laughed proudly: "Shuangli, Shuangli, today is really Shuangli!" The depression in his chest before was swept away.
He also ordered, "Come on, cut off their heads and send them to King Chuang and Brother Li, by the way, I also want to let that Gao Jie see the merits of Lao Liu and me." Hehe, he's just winning a battle ahead of us, what's the big deal. Lao Liu, I have served the officials of the Fengyang Prefect's Yamen, hehe, this credit is bigger than the bird's surname Gao! ”
The soldiers next to him couldn't stop complimenting: "Yes, wait a minute, when Gao Jie sees the head sent by Brother Liu, I don't know what it will look like when he sees it!" ”
"Haha, haha!"
After laughing for a long time, Liu Zongmin saw Shi Daxiang sitting next to Sun Yuan, and couldn't help asking, "Why didn't this person kill him?" ”
Nonsense, if this person is killed, how can I get the household department, and how can I go back to Rugao to reunite with my mother. This Shi Daxiang, he is really a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water, Sun Yuan wants to scold his mother in his heart.
The seal letter in the official's hand represents his identity, represents the authority of the imperial court, and in general, it will be carried with him, especially on the battlefield, and must not fall into the hands of the enemy.
The face that died just now had the prefect's seal on his body, and the official had the seal of the prefect.
Now it is being thrown aside like garbage by the peasant army, and trampled into the mud with their feet.
This Shi Daxiang must have fled with the Great Seal, but just now, the peasant army broke the Yingwu Guard, and this Shi Daxiang probably felt that it was easy to expose his identity by bringing the seal with him, so he found a place to hide.
However, it is also possible that he accidentally left it somewhere on the battlefield while escaping.
But no matter what, I have to try, this is probably my Sun Yuan's only hope now.
Moreover, if I want to get out of the camp smoothly, I can't say that I have to fall on this man.
Thinking of this, my mind was full of lightning, and I immediately had an idea.
Sun Yuan stood up with a smile and arched his hand: "General Liu, this person can't be killed." ”
Liu Zongmin was unhappy: "It's just a dog official, kill it quickly, we still have to hurry!" ”
Sun Yuan: "Dare to ask General Liu, do you know who this person is?" ”
Liu Zongmin's face was full of impatience: "Didn't you understand what you asked just now, this person is the head of the household department, Shi Daxiang." ”
"That's right, General Liu knows what kind of place the household is, and he is in charge of money and grain. For example, this person is the shopkeeper of Fengyang City. Sun Yuan said with a smile: "This official position is sufficient, and I don't know how much gold and silver I have accumulated on weekdays." We entered Fengyang this time, because we sealed the treasury and got a lot of military funds. But because of this, the place allocated to us is too small, and the people living in it are all poor. Before we could grab two days, and now we were sent out to fight in the city, we lost our army! ”
"Xiao Sheng is also a person who walks around the scene in Fengyang City, and he has long heard that this Shi master is very rich, and the gold and silver in his family are piled up like mountains. Presumably, when he escaped from the city this time, he must have brought a lot of gold and silver with him. Now that he was empty-handed, he must be hiding somewhere nearby, and he had to be tortured. Xiaosheng is not talented, but he has some experience in torture, and he is willing to serve the general. ”
As soon as they heard the word gold and silver, the eyes of the soldiers who broke into the camp lit up.
Liu Zongmin is a greedy person, otherwise he would not rob Beijing in the future, and he was suddenly moved: "I have to interrogate well." ”
Shi Daxiang next to him glared at Sun Yuan angrily and scolded: "The thief Hugh wants to talk nonsense, this official is an official with a clean sleeve, and you will kill me if you have a kind!" ”
Before he finished scolding, Liu Zongmin kicked over, and his mouth was full of blood. Then he turned back to Sun Yuan and said, "But...... King Chuang and Brother Li had a military order, so I was asked to march overnight, but I couldn't delay it. ”
Sun Yuan said: "General, why don't you take Fei Hong and the others to stay first, and then chase them after the whereabouts of the property are found out/"
"You?" Liu Zongmin looked at Sun Yuan with suspicion, as if there were two knives hidden in his eyes.
Sun Yuan deliberately muttered in a hesitant tone: "It is estimated that a lot of gold and silver can be found this time, and Fei Hong and the twenty or so people are afraid that they will not be able to move, and besides, they may encounter the rout of the official army on the way." General, Xiao Sheng has a reluctant request, and wants Xiao Ding to bring a unit to stay with me. ”
Hearing him say this, Liu Zongmin's suspicions suddenly disappeared: "Okay, then I'll take the army to set off first, and you and Ding Sheng will come later." ”
Sun Yuan naturally knew that although Liu Zongmin had completely trusted himself now, it could be said that the group of officials of the Fengyang Prefect's Yamen just now died in his hands, and this vote was enough to explain the problem. But in order to dispel Liu Zongmin's doubts, he still offered to let the troops stay in the camp with him.
Liu Zongmin really agreed, so he called Ding Sheng and asked him to take ten soldiers to be Sun Yuan's guards.
It was already dusk, and the soldiers lit their torches and continued to drive towards the Flying Bear.
Looking around, I saw that the east side of the sky was full of stars and fires, like a sea of torches.
The sea of people in the cold weapon war is absolutely beautiful and magnificent, Sun Yuan has seen too much in the past few days, and he has been a little numb.
After the camp army was opened, Sun Yuan turned back to Fei Hong and the others and shouted: "Take Shi Daxiang into the city and interrogate him overnight." ”
Fei Hong was about to take Master Shi in, but Ding Sheng stopped Sun Yuan and said, "Master, there is one more thing." ”
Sun Yuan: "What's the matter?" ”
Ding Sheng: "Brother Liu ordered when he left, saying that the embers in the city were not finished, and Brother Fei and others had shotguns and gunpowder on them, and they were afraid that the water would go away, so they called ......."
"What's it called?" Sun Yuan glanced at him sharply.
Ding Sheng was greatly embarrassed: "Ask Brother Fei and others to hand over the shotgun to me for safekeeping." ”
When Fei Hong and the others heard this, they were all angry.
Sun Yuan looked at Ding Sheng with a smile: "Xiao Ding, do you think General Liu doesn't trust me Sun Yuan, or is he wary of Fei Hong and them, and doesn't treat everyone as brothers?" ”
Ding Sheng's face turned red: "No, no, how can Brother Liu not trust you, Master." ”
"That means you don't believe in Fei Hong?"
