Chapter 11: Bureaucratic Rebellion (4)
At dawn, Gu Siman was tied up and pushed to the back hall of the county government.
His eyes and ears in Rongle City were swept away by the sinus rails. When Gu Siman saw the ears and eyes who had been ventilating and reporting to him in the county office, and also knelt on the corridor of the back hall, he suddenly understood: the so-called Qingshen was attacked, and the Sui army withdrew from Rongle City, from beginning to end, it was a pit, a big pit waiting for him Gu Siman to jump in...... It is said that the Han people are cunning, but now it seems that it is really good.
The people almost wiped out the elite of his entire Suishan bureaucracy.
It is possible that Suishan is now a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood...... suddenly had a trace of remorse, for the sake of his son, put the entire Suishan bureaucracy of 5,000 people into it, is it worth it?
Those clansmen, because they trusted him and believed that he could make them live a good life, followed them loyally.
But now?
Thinking of this, Gu Siman couldn't help but be at a loss.
"Why do you treat Du Lao like this, and don't you quickly loosen the ties for Du Lao?"
To Gu Siman's surprise, Dou Liang did not speak harshly to him, but used a reproachful tone to scold his relatives.
I saw him stand up, hurriedly came to Gu Siman, and untied the rope that bound Gu Siman with his own hands.
"Turning the small people into outsiders is not a means of the Celestial Empire, but they are trying to hit stones with eggs...... How dare you be treated like this? ”
Gu Si couldn't help but be flattered, and after being untied, he quickly knelt on the ground.
Of course, he can also have a second option, which is to spit on Dou Rail, and then scold, or even do something to Dou Rail.
Such a thought, the moment it was loosened, he didn't think of it.
However, when he saw the big black man standing with his arms crossed like a door god at the door door, Gu Siman immediately dispelled this thought. The big black man didn't look very old, nine feet tall, born with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and a fierce face.
Although he didn't move, Gu Siman could still feel the violent power hidden in the tranquility.
I couldn't help but secretly praise in my heart: What a big man!
Dou Liang helped him up, smiled, took his hand, and walked into the back hall.
"Please take a seat!"
"How dare a sinner sit down in front of the lieutenant?"
"Haha, sit down, sit down......" Dou Liang said with a smile: "Du Lao is also confused for a while, so he ...... Hehe, the surname Suo caused a catastrophe, and there was no bloodshed, so this matter, how to decide, the official was still discussing with the county order just now. ”
Rongle County Commander is a local, from a humble background, and his future is not great.
He hurriedly spoke: "Du Lao, I really don't know what to say about you...... Tell me, our fellow villagers have been together for more than ten years. If you talk about seniority, the lower officials will respect you as an uncle. If there is something to say, if the subordinate has the ability, he must do his best. But you made this one, which made it quite difficult for the lower officials. According to the law of Kaihuang, you are a big sin that no one has in the whole clan! ”
When Gu Si heard this, he struck a chill and crawled on the ground, crying loudly.
"This is all a barbarian crime, it has nothing to do with the clansmen, and I also ask the county lieutenant and the county order to investigate."
The county order's face sank suddenly, "It has nothing to do with the clansmen?" Nearly 1,000 people from your Suishan clan rushed into Rongle Cang, and said that it had nothing to do with the clansmen? Old, are you deceiving me for being ignorant? You have 4,700 men in your family, and there are only 2,000 who can fight. You attacked my warehouse with half of your wingmen, and you said that it had nothing to do with the clansmen? Du Lao, if this matter is to be investigated, don't talk about you, even the Rongle folks who have married you Suishan over the years, I am afraid that they will not be able to escape the crime of killing their heads...... Tell me, where has this glorious people sinned against you? ”
Gu Si was speechless when he heard this.
Dou Liang hurriedly waved his hand, "Li County ordered Mo to be so angry, he always does this, I'm afraid there is something unspeakable." ”
"Humph!"
Li Xianling threw down his sleeves and sat down, no longer paying attention to Gu Siman.
Dou Liang stepped forward and helped Gu Siman up again, "Du Lao, I believe that you are by no means a person who makes trouble for no reason. Why don't you tell me why you are in such a field? If I can solve it, I can't say I can excuse you, what do you think? ”
Gu Si was stunned, raised his head, and stared at Dou Liang.
"Dou County Lieutenant ......"
As soon as he spoke, he couldn't help but choke up again.
"Cry, cry, cry!" Li Xianling said angrily: "You know how to cry!" Do you know how much risk Captain Dou has taken?
All old, I'll make it clear.
If you can't tell you why, don't blame me for not talking about the feelings of the villagers. How many people do you have in Suishan, how many daughters have married into Rongle City over the years, and how many sons have gone to Rongle women, I know it all in my heart. ”
Gu Siman's heart was beating wildly.
Li Xianling's words were by no means intimidating.
He was born in Rongle City, and he knows all the big and small things in Rongle City.
Gu Siman hurriedly said: "County Lieutenant, Li County Order, it's not that the criminals want to rebel, it's really ...... I have only one son under my knees, and now I am being detained in the mountains by the old man of the pilot. They said that they would attack Ronglecang and burn all the baggage of Ronglecang, and then retreat into the mountains and join them. If I do not agree, he will kill my son and lead a raid on my people.
The sinners are also forced to do so, and there is really no way to do it.
If it weren't for that, even if the sinners were given ten dares, they would not dare to offend the majesty of the Celestial Empire. ”
Li Xianling and Dou Liang ignored Gu Siman.
The two of them whispered for a long time, only to make Gu Si feel like his heart was pounding.
"They're all old."
"The sinners are there."
Li Xianling glanced at Dou Rail, and Dou Rail nodded slightly.
He coughed, "Let's put aside the matter of your attack on Rong Le Cang first." A few days ago, I received a report from your niece's village, saying that your niece is missing! I won't hide it from you, your niece's village now has a few distinguished guests, either big names in the court, or famous people who move the world. I can't afford to offend these people, and I can't afford to offend Dou Junwei, what do you think should be? ”
"Huh?"
Bone Si Man, dumbfounded.
Dou Liang said: "One of them is the representative of Shilin today, who is a lieutenant in the court, and he is from a famous family in the Central Plains. He has a very close relationship with your niece. If he can find your niece, he might be able to help you; However, if something happens to your niece, he will be angry and report this matter to the present day after returning to Luoyang, even if I want to help you, it will be difficult. ”
"My niece, Gu Landuo is a guest in Suishan!"
Gu Si was so shocked that he was in a cold sweat, and hurriedly said: "Gu Landuo has nothing to do at all, it's just that I asked her for some things, so I left her in the mountains." ”
The bureaucrats attach great importance to the word Cigna.
So far, they have preserved the habit of carving their mothers. It is to engrave an oath on a special piece of wood, and it will not be broken for the rest of your life. If they disobeyed, they were punished by the gods and spurned by their people. Gu Siman and Husky are friends for eight years, so they will never betray Duoduo's identity. Besides, he doesn't know much about the origins of huskies and duoduo. only knew that the husky had provoked the enemy in the Central Plains, and Duoduo had to hide in Rongle City to avoid trouble. Other than that, he didn't know anything about Duoduo's life experience.
Dou Rail's eyes showed a touch of joy.
"If that's the case, things will be easier."
He stood up, walked to Gu Siman's side and squatted down, "Du Lao, I have a way, not only can I clear your name, but I can also give you the son of heaven and let you dominate all the departments of Meishan County." I just don't know what you ...... about this Interested? ”
"Unification of the Barbarians?"
"Well, maybe he can be named a wingman."
When Gu Siman heard this, he was immediately moved.
However, he also knows that there is no such thing as a free lunch. Dou Rail has opened such a big benefit, how can there be no other conditions?
"I don't know, what are the sinners going to do?"
"First, you have to send Gu Landuo back immediately, with the heart of Prince Zheng; Second, I want you to lead your troops to the flying head to respond to me. ”
"Huh?"
"Don't worry, now that I have ordered someone to cut off the passage between Ronglecang and Suishan, outsiders don't know about your situation here.
You can pretend that the attack failed, and lead hundreds of brave men into the mountains to join the flying leader.
After that, I will urge the soldiers and horses to enter the mountains to encircle and suppress, and at the right opportunity, you and I should cooperate with the outside to wipe out the flying chiefs. In doing so, there are three benefits. First, I can report your attack on Rong Le Cang to the above, saying that you are cooperating with our actions. ”
After speaking, Dou Liang looked at Li Xianling.
Gu Siman also looked at Li Xianling, found Li Xianling, and nodded lightly.
Dou Liang continued: "Second, the flying head is the biggest student in Meishan County. As long as you kill them, the rest of the barbarians will not be as powerful as you. And you can take this opportunity to annex the remnants of the flying head wing, and the rest of the bureaucracy, how can you not be convinced?
In this way, wouldn't you be justifiable to ask Your Majesty to be crowned a king?
As for the third benefit, won't you be able to see your son after you get into the pilot? When the time comes, you and I will work together inside and outside, not only to allow you to annex the flying chief, but also to rescue your son. It's all old, you see, it's as simple as that...... You have saved your son and erased your previous crimes. What's more, take this opportunity to become the largest capital elder in Meishan County. ”
When Gu Si heard this, he couldn't help but gasp.
This Dou County Lieutenant is really cunning, and he can come up with such a vicious plan?
He's just a county lieutenant, so he has such a skill. And what about the big guys who are more powerful than him? And how cunning will it be?
The more Gu Siman thought about it, the more he felt a chill in his heart.
He felt that the Yue Wang barbarians seemed to be making a big fuss, and that was because the Han people had not resorted to means before. Now that the Han people are ready to do it, the Yue Internet barbarians are afraid that they will end up with a miserable ending. Fortunately, I haven't fallen too deep.
Gu Siman was scared and excited.
He hurriedly kowtowed, "Captain Dou, the sinners are willing to obey Captain Dou's command." ”
The moment Gu Siman agreed, Dou Liang was in his heart, and he couldn't help but secretly let out a long breath. At the same time, I secretly felt frightened.
It's only been three years, and the boy who pointed at his nose and scolded him has grown to such a point?
Perhaps, he can't say three steps in one step, but from the beginning, he got to the point. Bold assumptions and careful arrangements made this bone barbaric and had to fall into the hub. It can be said that when Gu Siman got the news that Dou Rail had pulled out the camp and started the village, he had already calculated it.
Yan Qing sat in the gazebo, playing chess with Pei Cuiyun a little absentmindedly.
His chess strength stinks, which makes Dou Fengjie yawn vigorously. It's strange to say, Yanqing is thoughtful and accurate, if you put it on Go, even if you can't be a national player, at least it should be a high level of chess ability. But his chess strength is stinky.
"Yanqing, you ......"
"What a gentleman who is silent when watching chess!"
Zheng Yanqing's eyes widened, and Dou Fengjie immediately closed his mouth.
Pei Cuiyun was on the side, and couldn't help but giggle, "Fengjie, why are you so afraid of him?" Yanqing, don't go down again, I've put up with you for a long time...... Fengjie, let's go down, don't pay attention to him anymore. From the beginning to now, I have had at least eleven chances to kill his great dragon. ”
"Uh......"
Yan Qing scratched his head, a little embarrassed.
He gave up his seat, and Dou Fengjie sat behind the chessboard.
Zheng Yanqing muttered: "The ruler is long, and the inch is short." ”
This made Pei Cuiyun can't help but chuckle again.
The matter of the Suishan bureaucracy has been satisfactorily resolved. Gu Siman had already made the appearance of defeat and fled back to Suishan. Counting the time, it's almost time for Duoduo to come back.
Zheng Yanqing waited anxiously in the grange, seeing that it was getting late, there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves in the distance.
"Zheng Gongzi, Duoduo is back!"
When Zheng Yanqing heard this, he immediately walked down the pavilion quickly.
But he didn't know that the moment he walked out of the pavilion, Pei Cuiyun's face revealed a gloomy color.
She could see that Yanqing liked flowers; She also knows that Duoduo likes to celebrate. But what should she do? For the sake of Yanqing, she did not hesitate to run away from home, and she didn't know if she could go back later. For more than a year, Yanqing has been very good to her, but in her politeness, she has a look of rejection thousands of miles away. She didn't know how to express it, and Yanqing never promised her anything.
This kind of tangled mind made Pei Cuiyun feel miserable.
In fact, these words of Duoduo's disappearance, Cuiyun was not only worried, but also a little happy.
Because she can be alone with Yanqing. Even though Yanqing plays chess very stinky, Cuiyun is still enjoying it.
And now, Duoduo is back...... At this moment, Zheng Yanqing suddenly returned to the pavilion.
As soon as he grabbed Cuiyun's hand, he said with a smile: "Let's go, let's go to meet Duoduo together." ”
"Huh?"
"You've been worrying about the flowers, but you're thin. Let's go, let's go see Duoduo together. Things are pretty much done here, and it doesn't matter to us anymore. I thought, let's go up the mountain together, at least we can hide in some peace. ”
"Up the mountain?" Pei Cuiyun was stunned for a moment, and then said a stupid word: "Who takes care of the grange?" ”
When the words came out, Cuiyun regretted it.
Who takes care of the Grange, and what does it have to do with her?
Zheng Yanqing didn't answer, took Cuiyun's hand and walked briskly along the field path. In the distance, you can see dust flying and the sound of horses' hooves.
Getting closer and closer, the smile of Duoduo on the horse came into Yanqing's eyes.
In an instant, Zheng Yanqing also smiled!
