Chapter 63: The Desire of the Heart

Seeing the tension in the Star Picking Building, since there is a big conflict. Yelu Yujian, who was watching upstairs, couldn't sit still, and said that if the matter made a big fuss and alarmed the government or provoked a civil uprising, it would be a big deal.

So he went downstairs again, repulsed all the Jurchen soldiers, and said to a few of them: "You guys, just follow Chu Tianya's trip to the official mansion, what's the matter? Could it be that the government of this southern country still dares to do anything to you? When I was young, I said a few words to Master Tong, and I released him in an instant. ”

When the Jurchen soldiers heard this, they all sneered fearlessly, and they didn't make a mistake. Wang Xun went out and called the tolerance of the yamen of the Taiyuan Prefecture and took the four Jurchen soldiers out. Just walked out of the Star Picking Tower, Tong Guan came.

Tong Guan hurriedly came after hearing about the things in the Star Picking Building. At a glance, when he saw Wang Xun and the tolerance taking away a few Jurchen sergeants, he was immediately in a hurry, and stepped forward and scolded: "What are you doing? How dare you be so rude to the envoys of the Jin Kingdom? ”

Wang Xun endured his anger and told Tong Guan the whole story.

Tong Guan was not annoyed when he heard this, gritted his teeth and scolded in a low voice: "For the sake of a mere prostitute, but I have to tear my face with the Jin State Mission!" Wang Xun, are you going back the more you live, and you don't know the importance of the overall situation?! ”

"Taishi!" Wang Xun couldn't hold it anymore and said loudly, "Human life is a matter of heaven!" Even if it's a prostitute, it's my Great Song people! Aren't we soldiers here to protect the country and the people? How can we sit idly by and watch our compatriots lose their lives at his hands?! ”

"Bold!" Tong Guan was furious, and the wheelsman gave Wang Xun a big ear scraper, "You dare to commit a crime and reprimand this king in public!" ”

A big slap in the face, slapping extremely loudly. Wang Xun's face suddenly left a clear palm print.

At this time, Chu Tianya and Yelu Yu heard the movement outside the building, and they also came out, seeing the scene in front of them really.

Wang Xun gritted his teeth with hatred and rushed to the crown angrily, trembling all over. In the blink of an eye, Chu Tianya was giving him a look to calm down. He endured his anger alive, bent down and hugged his fist, "The last general is rude and offends the prince, I am willing to ask for forgiveness!" ”

Seeing that the people around him were gradually increasing, Yelu Yu was also afraid that the matter would get bigger, so he stepped forward and said with a smile: "Why should the Taishi be angry? In fact, this does not blame General Wang. This envoy was indeed drunk and disorderly and accidentally injured people, unfortunately causing death. The rule in the south has always been that the murderer pays for his life; But I am a Jurchen, and according to our rules, if someone is killed, the two parties can negotiate, and the murderer will pay the other party a cow and a gold ingot, and the two sides will not be resentful and seek revenge. However, now that I am in the southern country, I will take a compromise method - let a few of them go to the government to be tried for the envoy Ying Jing, and pay some gold and silver! Lest the people of Taiyuan say that Master Tong misunderstood the king's law! ”

When the Song people next to them heard Yelu Yu's words, they were all so angry that they gritted their teeth. Many onlookers were even more indignant and whispered, saying that this Jurchen envoy really had no one in his eyes and despised my Great Song Dynasty!

Tong Guan saw that Yelu Yu had said this, and the people around him also had a discussion, so he had to get off the donkey down the slope, and said: "Wang Xun, you will take these envoys to the official mansion for a trip." Remember, Hugh has given them a treat! ”

"Yes......" Wang Xun endured his anger and took these Jurchens away.

Unexpectedly, the people around gathered more and more, and the matter of "Jurchen envoys killing people" also spread. When they heard Tong Guan say, "Hugh is going to give in to them", and suddenly the people were resentful, and many people surrounded Wang Xun and the Jurchen envoys to prevent them from leaving, shouting loudly, saying that they would "severely punish the murderer and give me justice"!

Yelu Yu and Tong Guan were shocked: It's broken, it's a big trouble!

Chu Tianya watched quietly, silently. He wanted to see that Yelu Yu and Tong Guan would be dealt with in this way.

As soon as Yelu Yu saw this formation, he walked into the building with his feet and casually threw down a sentence, "Master Tong, this is your territory, you deal with it!" ”

Tong Guan suddenly hated itchy, but he was helpless!

Good things don't go out, but bad things spread thousands of miles. Not long after, one or two thousand Taiyuan people gathered outside the Star Picking Tower. All of them were extremely angry, saying that they would cure the Jurchen murderers. There were also some overly aggressive young men who wanted to break through the human wall of Sergeant Shengjie and come in and beat those Jurchen sergeants. There are even some people who pick up rocks on the ground and throw them into them. The Jurchen soldiers were also enraged, and they rushed forward to slash the people with their knives. The sergeant of the Shengjie army stood in the middle and struggled to support the situation, so it was not a wolf!

The scene suddenly became chaotic!

Seeing this scene, Chu Tianya couldn't help but feel a move in his heart: it is difficult for the will of the people to go against the will of the people, if Tong Guan stands up for the people at this time and punishes these Jurchen soldiers, he can buy a large number of people's hearts. But with his character, he would definitely not be like this......

Sure enough, seeing that the situation was getting more and more chaotic and seemed to cause a huge conflict, Tong Guan was really angry!

"Someone - disperse this mob for me! Those who dare to forcibly collide and surround but not disperse will be killed!! "Tong Guan yelled!

Chu Tianya and Wang Xun present, including those prostitutes, Shengjie army sergeants and ordinary people, were all stunned!

Wang Xun suddenly said urgently: "How can the Taishi be like this? These are all our own people!! ”

"Smack-"

Another big-eared scraper slapped Wang Xun's face!

"I think you're tired of being alive, and you're even looking for this mob!" Tong Guan roared angrily, "If you dare to talk nonsense again, you will be guilty of the same crime!" - Shoot the arrows, release the arrows to me! Shoot these mobs!! ”

"Master, no!!" Wang Xun, who was slapped in the face, was shocked, and he didn't care about his dignity, so he knelt on his knees in front of Tong Guan and hugged his legs, and begged bitterly, "Don't do anything to the people!" ”

"Get out-" Tong Guan was furious, got up and kicked Wang Xun out of a foot away, Wang Xun fell to the ground and vomited blood on the spot, and almost fainted!

"If it were not for your father's sake, you would be punished for your sin today!" Tong Guan was furious, and personally pulled out his saber and pointed it at the sky, "I have given an order, who dares to disobey!" - Give it to me, disperse the mob! ”

"Slow-" Chu Tianya shouted, and Tong Guan was stunned by the roar.

"You're looking for death!" Tong Guan under the anger was already close to rage, and he raised his knife and slashed down on the top of Chu Tianya's head!

"Hum—"

The deep groan of the knife rang in my ears. Chu Tianya straightened up and stood tall, squinting at the oncoming blade.

The head of the knife slashed less than an inch in front of Chu Tianya's forehead, but it stopped. A look of curiosity flashed in Tong Guan's eyes, and his brows furrowed.

"Master spare your life!" The prostitutes behind him were shocked, and they all knelt down beside Chu Tianya, and begged eagerly, "Please spare your life, don't hurt the Chu officials!" ”

"Chu Daguan? - He's a pig-like cheap embryo, and he is still worthy of being called a Chu official? Tong Guan couldn't help but sneer, and slowly withdrew the knife, "Chu Tianya, how do you compare yourself to Wang Xun?" You dare to stiffen your neck and not dodge, so you are not afraid that this king will cut off your dog's head with a knife? ”

"The last general is just a cheap life, naturally it is worthless." Chu Tianya hugged his fist and said indifferently, "But if Taishi's knife is cut off, it is not Chu's dog head that will be cut off, but the diplomatic relations between the two countries and Taishi's own future." ”

"Oh, there will be such a strict zhòng?" Tong Guan couldn't help laughing, "You are a small school, and you think so highly of yourself!" This king is really shocked by your brazenness! ”

"Yes, the last general has a low official position. However, the last general learned from Yelu Yu about the advantages and disadvantages of the diplomatic relations between the two countries. And, under the unremitting maneuvering and closeness of the general, he has gained some trust from Yelu Yujian. Chu Tianya said in a low voice quietly, "If the Taishi wants to gain the opportunity to win benefits in this diplomatic negotiation, it is necessary to use the last general. The last general is now like the middleman between the prince and Yelu Yujian, although the official position is small, the role is great. If the prince beheaded the last general with a sword, Yelu Yu would definitely think that the prince was demonstrating to him, or abandoning the diplomatic relations between the two countries. ”

"How dare you threaten the king, and use the envoy of the Jin Kingdom to suppress the king?" Tong Guan was almost angry, and instead of being angry, he nodded and said, "Okay, good, you little school, you really have a kind!" I'll spare you for the time being, and see how I clean you up afterwards! ”

Chu Tianya smiled disapprerovitously, hugged his fists and said: "The trivial matters here, I don't want Taishi to come out to cook in person, so it's better to leave it to the last general!" It's better for the Taishi to go into the building and talk to the noble envoy of Jin Guogui about the major affairs of diplomatic relations between the two countries! ”

Tong Guan swallowed a breath of resentment, glared at Chu Tianya with murderous intent on his face, and nodded: "Okay, I'll see how you clean it up!" ”

Just lift your feet and go.

At this time, the people not far from the periphery and the sergeants of the Shengjie Army were already in a conflict with each other. Fortunately, these sergeants still have a trace of conscience, and they did not really draw their swords against the people as Tong Guan said.

At this time, Chu Tianya hurriedly called the prostitutes who were kneeling beside him to get up, called them to his side, and instructed them: "Go and help persuade those villagers not to clash with our soldiers!" ”

The women were willing, but they were embarrassed. The sister of the deceased said: "Chu Daguan, we know that there is a debtor and a debtor, if we let the villagers clash with the big brother soldiers, it will make the Jurchen dog thieves see the joke...... It's just that I'm clumsy, how can I persuade these angry folks? ”

Chu Tianya frowned and thought in his heart, "Go, dismantle the door panel and carry Xiao Ai's body out!" I've got my own way! ”

The women were puzzled for a moment, and then they did as they were told. After a short time, a group of women walked out carrying Xiao Ai's body. Chu Tianya lifted a few benches and set them up, stood on a high place, and said loudly: "Folks, neighbors, listen to me first!" - The body of the deceased Xiao Ai, who was killed, is already here! If she saw in the spirit of heaven that her compatriots and the soldiers who were protecting the land and the people were fighting each other because of her death, how would she be at ease? ”

As soon as the women obeyed, they were touched, and many of them began to cry. immediately stepped forward together, using Chu Tianya's words to persuade the angry people.

This trick really worked, and the scene suddenly calmed down a lot. But some people shouted loudly: "Just now, Master Tong ordered them to kill us!" Where is this sergeant who protects the territory and the people, it is clearly a group of jackal lackeys who oppress the people and open their eyes for the Jurchens! ”

"Everyone, don't be noisy! The officials of Chu took the head of the Taishi's knife and fought with their lives to mediate the battle, just because they didn't want us to kill each other. The women hurriedly persuaded him, "The big official of Chu is a good official, if it weren't for him to call the shots, I'm afraid that our cheap maids would have died at the hands of the Jurchens at this moment!" Everyone is going to embarrass him! ”

With these bitter masters coming forward to help persuade them, the results are obvious. The public anger at the scene subsided a lot, but there were still some people who were angry and could not let go of those Jurchen soldiers.

"Listen to me. The state has its own laws, and the military has military regulations. The Son of Heaven broke the law and committed the same crime as the common people! Chu Tianya said loudly, "The murderer pays for his life, and I, Chu Tianya, swear here today - I will take the murderer's head to pay tribute to Xiao Ai's dead in the sky!" ”
