Chapter 766: Please Enter the Urn (I)
"That's not right...... It's not right......" Looking at the whitening sky in the east, Xu Chongchuan had words in his mouth, and his expression became very uneasy. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The people he sent to assassinate King Jing and Yang Zhen had been gone all night, but until now they had not turned around, and it was obvious that things had not developed as he expected, and perhaps those sect members he had high hopes for had already fallen into the hands of the other party in King Jing's mansion.
"Second brother......" Yin Shuirou on the other side also looked at him worriedly: "What should we do next?" I mean, it's to change places, and if they do, it's not safe here. ”
Hearing the girl's words, Xu Chongchuan's sense of uneasiness became even stronger, and at the same time, with a little regret, he had been here for a long time, did he have to leave like this?
"Second brother......" Yin Shuirou wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by him waving his hand: "You let me think about it carefully." As he spoke, he pressed his hand between his eyebrows, and the thoughts in his heart were racing, and he finally gritted his teeth and said, "Let's go, let's leave Guilin City!" ”
"Huh?" Now, it was Yin Shuirou's turn with surprise and questions on her face, she just wanted to persuade her brother to move to another spare house, but she didn't say where to leave Guilin. It's taken a lot of work for them here, and now that it's about to happen, they're really unwilling to leave like this.
Xu Chongchuan nodded solemnly: "Yes, as soon as the city gate opens at dawn, we will leave here." If they really missed, as long as it was in the hands of Jinyiwei, they would definitely be able to ask all the details of us, so even if they changed places, it would be normal, and it would be safer to leave earlier. ”
"That'...... What about here? Yin Shuirou obviously couldn't keep up with her brother's rhythm, and asked Ai Ai.
"We've already laid everything out here, but it's the same with or without us. And I believe that the assassination of King Jing this time is bound to cause a storm in the city, and those Tusi masters will definitely not be able to stay out of the matter anymore, as long as they perceive that the government may attack them, they will not sit idly by, and things will still develop as we wish. Xu Chongchuan said with a gloomy face.
Although Yin Shuirou knew that there was some truth in what he said, she was still a little worried. She had long been accustomed to the situation where everything was under her control, and now that things had just begun, her brother and sister were about to leave Guilin, which was completely different from what she thought.
"Don't worry, I'm still in control. Don't think that if we leave, there will be peace again, impossible, once the seeds of hostility and suspicion are planted, how can they be easily eliminated? Moreover, I will leave them a letter for those toast masters to consider for themselves. As he spoke, Xu Chongchuan had walked quickly to the desk, picked up the pen and dipped it in ink, and quickly wrote a letter to those toasters.
After writing this letter, he was slightly stunned, as if he had thought of something, so he took out another piece of paper, wrote a few words on it, and then tore it up and threw it on the ground.
After finishing all this, Xu Chongchuan nodded at Yin Shuirou: "Let's go." ”
At this time, the latter had also calmed down from Shicai's surprise, and knew that this was the safest thing to do, so he nodded and walked out with his brother quickly.
In the stable in front of the courtyard gate, there were still a few horses tied, the two immediately got on the horse, and as soon as they gave an order, they took a few of the sect members who stayed here to cooperate with them and went out together, only the last one did not follow them to ride the horse, but took the letter that Xu Chongchuan had just written, turned around and ran to the west of the city.
When they arrived at the gate of the city, the ancient and heavy gate had just been opened, and without any hesitation or nostalgia, several people whipped their horsewhips and hurled through the gate, and soon disappeared from the sight of several guards at the city gate.
Xu Chongchuan's reaction was indeed fast enough and timely enough, because not long after they left the city, the major yamen of Guilin City had already issued an order to go, and on the grounds that King Jing was assassinated last night, they ordered the four gates to be closed immediately, and no one was allowed to leave the city at will.
At the same time, among the governor's yamen, these officials who had just returned from the palace did not return to the yamen to deal with the next possible changes, but gathered together with a solemn face.
Although they seemed to have been persuaded by Yang Zhen in the palace, in fact, in their hearts, they were still a little uncertain about this. This matter is too big, not only their future, but also their net worth and life have to be gambled in this game, and no one can stop thinking and discussing it.
"My lord, do you think this is really possible?" Someone plucked up the courage to look at Tang Guangchen, who also looked solemn, and wanted to hear his opinion. After all, he has the highest official position here, and this kind of thing naturally has to be made by him to make the final decision.
After being silent for a long time, Tang Guangchen said: "According to the current situation, this is indeed our only way out. The people of the brocade guard have always acted without scruples, as long as we don't do what they want, all kinds of crimes will definitely fall on our heads, even if nothing has happened in Guilin since then. Moreover, judging from the situation shown now, it is completely impossible for Guilin to be safe, he silently added in his heart.
"Then shall we send someone to fetch someone?" After hearing what the governor meant, the inspector in charge of prison affairs, Lord Qian, asked with some anxiety.
Obviously, if they really want to send troops to arrest those Tusi heads, this errand will most likely fall to their inspectors. And those toast families are not like ordinary people, and it is not easy to take them.
The others also understood how difficult this matter was, and they didn't feel that they were worried about Lord Qian, and now that everyone was in the same boat, they naturally had to be of the same mind.
"It's really hard to do." Tang Guangchen frowned tightly: "If you forcibly take people, it will inevitably quickly cause turmoil in the whole Guilin." Moreover, those toasts don't live far away, and if something happens to one family, the other family will soon find out, and it will be even more difficult for us to take other people. ”
This point, everyone else also thought of it, so their expressions were even more ugly, obviously Yang Zhen threw a great problem to them, which not only requires courage, but also needs some brains and action.
"My lord, the lower official has an idea, why don't you come and invite you into the urn?" The prefect Fu Chuan suddenly had an idea and had an idea.
"You say." Governor Tang was very straightforward.
Fu Chuan said his idea. After listening to his plan, all the officials felt that their eyes lit up, and they all nodded: "This is indeed a good idea, my lord, just do it." ”
After thinking about it for a while, Tang Guangchen also nodded in agreement: "This is indeed feasible, so let's do it." Tell the people of all the yamen to prepare, and send people to transfer troops outside the city as soon as possible, and invite those Tusi leaders to come over in the name of me, the governor, and say that we have important matters to discuss. ”
"Yes!" The officials were in good spirits, and after giving up, they hurriedly dispersed, and each went back to the yamen to recruit credible and available people. Although there are also many people under them who are inserted by the Tusi of various tribes, these naturally cannot be hidden from them, as long as they are careful, they can avoid leaking the news.
After everyone left, a trace of gloom flashed on Tang Guangchen's face, at this point, they all had no way out, and success or failure was all in one fell swoop, which made this official who was about to become a leader feel endless pressure, and made him feel a little unbearable......
Xu Chongchuan's letter was thrown aside by Li Muda on the coffee table, his face full of suspicion and disdain: "This is the excuse for your young master to leave Guilin at this time?" Say that the government will be bad for us? ”
In front of him, the White Lotus Sect's expression also looked a little nervous, and only after swallowing his saliva did he say, "Our young master's original words are to ask all the toast masters to prepare early, maybe the government will take advantage of this incident to attack you." After all, they've done similar things before, and they've taken a lot of your clansmen......"
"Ha ......" contemptuous laughter once again came out of Li Muda's mouth: "Just by those Han people, if they have the courage to do this, we will have been convicted of all kinds of crimes a long time ago." "Indeed, these Tusi leaders and the people in their families have been rampant and domineering in Guilin for so many years, bullying men and women, and killing people or something is commonplace, but even if the evidence is conclusive, don't those officials still dare to do anything to them?
"But this time it's different, this time it's ......" The man dared to say a few more words, but was interrupted by Li Muda waving his hand: "This time is no different, although they were instructed by King Jing to take many of our clansmen, but as a result, we forced them to let everyone back, and they dare to be our enemies?" That's a joke! ”
Li Datusi, who has been suppressed so much that the local officials can't raise their heads all these years, has long since stopped taking those officials seriously, and no matter how much the other party reminds and warns, he will not take it seriously.
Suddenly, he narrowed his eyes again, and stared at the man with some suspicion: "I have another idea, could it be that this is a plan that your young master has decided to let us hurry up and start a rebellion?" And then they themselves avoided the city early? ”
Yes, the kind reminder was regarded as a calculation, and now the White Lotus Sect messenger naturally had nothing to say, so he could only sigh and turn to leave.
At this time, a steward of the Li family walked into the hall: "Master, the governor Yamen sent someone to deliver a letter, saying that there was a big incident in the Jingwang Mansion last night, and I would like to invite you and other Tusi masters to go and discuss it together to see how to deal with it." ”
"Huh?" Hearing this, Li Muda was obviously stunned for a moment, and his eyes fell on the letter that he threw aside, and there was a little more doubt in his eyes......
