Huiluocang is in the southeast of Mengjin, not far from Luoyang. When Yang Guangdu built it back to Luocang, it was to prepare for war or major disasters in Luoyang and the surrounding areas, resulting in a shortage of food.

Fortunately, nothing like this has happened, so there is already more food in the Luocang to meet the needs of all the people in Luoyang City for more than ten years.

Huiluocang is actually a small city, but there are no people living in it, and all of them are garrisoned by troops. The supreme commander is Cangshou Su Rong, the younger brother of Taichangqing and Nayan Suwei, and the general of Shoucang is called Yang Zongze, and there are more than 500 soldiers under him.

Su Rong is a typical civil official, he has a kind of contempt for military generals in his bones, and often calls them vulgar people. Yang Zongze was twenty-seven or eighteen years old, and when he was strong, every time he heard him say this, he always wanted to clean him up, but Su Rong had a high-ranking brother who was in the second grade, and Yang Zongze dared not speak out.

A few months ago, because of the flood of the Yellow River, Su Rong refused to provide disaster relief, and Yang Zongze almost killed Su Rong. Fortunately, a personal soldier came to stop Yang Zongze at that time, which saved Su Rong's life. Su Rong relieved himself and immediately put Yang Zongze in prison, and he had already issued an order to ask for Yang Zongze to be convicted.

The soldiers sent by Li Xiang to deliver the message entered Luocang City and were taken to see Su Rong.

Su Rong knew about Li Xiang, and to a certain extent, he also belonged to Li Xiang's jurisdiction. So he still paid more attention to it, and when he saw the soldier, he showed him a seat.

After the soldiers said that Li Xiang was here to get food, Su Rong frowned, and thought for a long time before saying, "You go back and tell Li Duwei that the grain here can only be mobilized by the emperor's holy decree, and the rest of the officials dare not leak out even a little." ”

The soldier was still about to speak, but Su Rong had already thrown off his sleeves and walked into the back hall, and the soldier had no choice but to go back to his life.

Su Rong saw that the soldiers were gone, so he came out to drink tea and thought slowly, "Li has always come to get food, and without His Majesty's will, he doesn't dare to do anything to me, but there was no disaster relief last time, if he knew about it, he might be involved." ”

Thinking of this, Su Rong immediately stood up, called the staff around him, and quietly settled a few words in his ear, the staff stared at Su Rong, Su Rong said angrily: "If you are told to go, you will go, what are you doing in a daze?" ”

The staff had no choice but to nod and hurriedly went out to run errands.

Su Rong showed a smug smile on his face and muttered, "Tang Gong, when will you get into trouble!" ”

Li Xiang and the others rested for a while, then continued to hurry, and when they were about to return to Luocang, they met the soldier who delivered the letter, and when he asked about the situation, Li Xiang frowned. It is said that what people say is right, even if there is Empress Xiao's will, it can't be mobilized.

It's just that the situation is urgent now, and I can't manage it so much, so I'll go and meet this warehouse keeper first. Li Xiang took Sun Gui and the others to continue back to Luocang.

When they arrived at the city gate, the soldiers guarding the city saw Li Xiang's new seal before letting them into the city.

The city is not an ordinary square, but an oval, and there are more than 700 granaries of about 500,000 jin (Note 1) in the whole city, which is the first large warehouse of the Sui Dynasty.

As soon as he entered the city, he saw an official wearing a bright red official robe walking out of a house without hurrying, Li Xiang estimated that this person was Su Rong, so he got off the horse and walked towards him with a smile.

Su Rong felt a little unhappy when he saw Li Xiang at such an age, he was in his forties this year, and he was a five-grade warehouse guard, and people looked at him as a five-grade official when he was only a teenager, and he was a big member of the party. He looked at Li Xiang and didn't salute, but said lightly: "You are Li Duwei?" ”

Li Xiang was originally ready to have a good relationship with him so that he could get the grain away, but he didn't expect that people would be domineering as soon as they came up, as if there was some festival.

Li Xiang endured and said, "It's me, is it the Lord Cangshou Su Rong?" ”

"Yes." Su Rong snorted with his nose, looked at the soldiers behind Li Xiang again, and said, "I have made it very clear to the soldiers you sent just now, unless there is a holy decree from His Majesty, nothing else is good, I will not let you take a grain of grain." ”

Li Xiang took a deep breath and said: "Maybe Lord Su doesn't know that these grains are used to save lives, and there are many beggars and the old, weak, sick and disabled in Mengjin County who have nothing to eat. ”

After finishing speaking, Li Xiang took out Empress Xiao's edict and handed it to Su Rong. No matter how arrogant Su Rong was, he didn't dare to be disrespectful to Yi Zhi, so he had to respectfully continue, opened it and looked at it, and returned it to Li Xiangdao: "Actually, no matter what, I also understand Li Duwei's painstaking efforts, but without His Majesty's holy decree, I can't open a position." ”

Li Xiang thought for a moment and said with a slight smile: "Master Su must not open a position today?" ”

Su Rong looked at Li Xiang's smiling face, and said with a smile: "It really can't be opened, if Li Duwei is in a hurry, you can go to Jinyang first to ask Your Majesty to give an order, and I will definitely open a warehouse for Lord Li at that time." ”

Li Xiang laughed hahaha, then turned to Sun Gui for a moment, and said to Su Rong with a smile: "Then if I have to take the grain, what will you do?" ”

As soon as the words fell, Sun Gui shouted: "Brothers, prepare!" Then he drew his sword with a choked thud.

Su Rong was caught off guard, sat down on the ground in fright, and pointed at Li Xiang with trembling fingers: "You, you, what are you going to do, this, this, rebellion!" ”

The surrounding guards were all stunned, why were they smiling so well just now, and they were suddenly tense, and they seemed to be all officials of the Great Sui.

Li Xiang squatted down and said: "I'm just here to get food to save my life, and I am in a hurry, I scared Lord Su, and I will definitely make amends to Lord Su when I come back." Li Xiang stood up and said, "Who knows where the biggest warehouse here is?" Lead the way. ”

Su Rong only reacted at this time, Li Xiang didn't dare to kill him, seeing that Li Xiang was going to get food, Su Rong said loudly: "The thief is here, what are you waiting for, why don't you take it with me quickly." ”

The guards glanced at each other, there is no way, the county officials might as well be in charge now, then let's go on, these soldiers all picked up their weapons and faced Li Xiang and the others.

Li Xiang looked back at Su Rong and said, "Does Master Su really want to break the net?" ”

When Su Rong saw that his soldiers surrounded Li Xiang's people, he became bolder, stood up and said, "What is the death of a fish and the net is broken, you call it self-throwing into the net." He turned to the soldiers and shouted, "Whoever can take down the head of the thief, this officer will be rewarded!" ”

The soldiers' eyes lit up at once, who doesn't want money? Seeing Li Xiang standing there like a gold ingot, people began to move.

Li Xiang frowned, and said in his heart: "Are you really going to do it with these officials and soldiers here today?" ”

The warehouse guards were about to make a move, when they heard a loud shout outside: "Stop it, I'll see who dares to move!" ”

As if they were familiar with the voice, all the soldiers smiled on their faces, and then they put down their weapons one after another. Over there, Su Rong's face was pale and he looked out nervously.

After a while, the soldiers outside gave way to a passage, and a tall, burly man slowly walked in. Li Xiang saw that the clothes on his body were a little strange, this person was wearing a prison uniform, and there were whip marks everywhere, he must have been tortured in prison.

The man didn't look at Li Xiang, walked up to Su Rong step by step and said, "Master Su didn't expect me to be alive." ”

Su Rong's face turned pale, and he pointed at him tremblingly and said, "You, you dare to escape from prison, you hurry, catch him quickly." He shouted a loud order to the guards.

A few of them were about to go up, but before they could move, they were controlled by other soldiers and couldn't move.

Li Xiang looked at everything that happened, and his mind quickly turned, he had to know what was going on, who was this person who suddenly appeared? Why did these guards seem to be very scared, but they also respect him very much.

The man looked at Su Rong and smiled, "What, you still want me to die again?" As he spoke, he lifted Su Rong with his hand, and walked towards a high platform on the right side. Su Rong was in his hands, there was no room for resistance at all, and he couldn't even speak.

When he got to the top, Su Rong was thrown to the ground, and the man said loudly: "I, Yang Zongze, am not sorry for the court, second is not sorry for the brothers, and third is not sorry for this dog official." ”

Li Xiang only knew that this person's name was Yang Zongze, and he was also a court official, as if Su Rong had treated him badly.

Yang Zongze continued: "Today, I heard that Lord Duwei came to get food, and he actually asked someone to go to prison to kill me with poisonous wine, but fortunately, Mr. Wu was benevolent and righteous, so he quietly told me the truth. Saying that, he pointed at Su Rong and said: "The Yellow River burst, Mengjin became Zeguo, not only did you not release grain for disaster relief, but also locked up the officials who also asked for grain." Now the Lieutenant is coming, but you want to kill people. ”

"Don't you feel a little guilty in your heart? How many people in Mengjin have died because of you, and today I, Yang Zongze, want to do the way for heaven and take your dog's life to sacrifice those spirits in the sky. Yang Zongze took a long sword from a soldier's hand, pointed it at Su Rong, and looked at him deadly.

"General Yang, spare your life! It's the lower officials who are confused, please take my life. Su Rong hurriedly kowtowed.

A cold light flashed in Yang Zongze's eyes, and the sword in his hand was raised high.

"General Yang, slow down!" Li Xiang shouted loudly to stop Yang Zongze's behavior, and then also walked on the high platform, hugged his fists at Yang Zongze and said: "Under Li Xiang, he is now the governor of Henan Province." ”

Yang Zongze frowned and looked at Li Xiangdao: "Why did the Du Wei envoy stop me from killing this thief!" ”

Su Rong didn't expect that it was Li Xiang who saved his life in the end, and hurriedly said: "Lord Duwei, save me, my brother is Tai Changqing, Nayan, I will tell my brother, and in the future, glory and wealth will be indispensable to Du Wei." ”

"Shut up!" Li Xiang was angry and kicked Su Rong down, and then said to Yang Zongze: "It's not that you shouldn't be killed, it's that you can't kill him, I see that the general is also an iron-clad man, kill him, I'll come!" ”

Li Xiang turned to the soldiers below and said: "I, Li Xiang, am Your Majesty's Qincha, who is ordered to do things, today Su Rong wants to detain Qincha, and careless of people's lives, the crime is unforgivable, I specially invite Longquan Sword to punish him, everyone has witnessed it!" ”

Li Xiang took the Longquan Sword from Sun Gui's hand, walked in front of Su Rong, smiled slightly, squatted down and whispered in his ear: "When you see my smile in the next life, I hope you don't make any more mistakes." ”

A sword pierced Su Rong's heart.
