As soon as the notice was posted on the city wall, some onlookers rushed forward and tore it down, which was obviously a great disrespectful act, but the officers and soldiers did not say anything, but just pushed the man into the crowd and pasted it again. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The man said indignantly: "It was corrupt officials such as Lou Jingzhi, Fei Wen, and Zhou Zhongjun who died, what is General Chu's crime?" ”

Someone in the crowd immediately answered: "What General Chu did is really a heroic hero, and he really waited for me to breathe a bad breath, but it's a pity that the saint is not kind and uses the people as dogs!" ”

An officer and soldier's spear was suddenly pointed at the man who spoke, forcing him back two steps, and his eyes widened angrily: "Stupid! Your words are already a great disrespect, and it is a great sin to be investigated by the Holy One, and I see that you have no intention of saying this, so I will not pursue it with you, so go back quickly! ”

When the onlookers saw that the officers and soldiers did not pursue the man, they decided in their hearts that the officers and soldiers were also on the side of the people, and more and more people spoke out in the crowd.

The people who passed by saw the crowd under the city wall, and they were attracted to come over, and when they saw the notice, they all became angry, and they wanted to avenge Chu Shenxia.

I don't know who made the petition for the people's life, but the people did not hesitate to write their names on the white paper, and the woman who could not write put a handprint, and even the children of seven or eight years old were pulled by their parents and pressed their handprints.

Seeing that the trouble was getting bigger and bigger, the officers and soldiers were a little panicked, and squeezed into the crowd with the spears in their hands, and a child was being pulled by his father to press his handprint, and the child saw the officers and soldiers, and said, "Huh", and the father quickly pulled the child off the table and retreated into the crowd.

The fear seemed to be contagious, and the onlookers all took a step back, and one of the officers and soldiers came to the table, but put down the spear in his hand, grabbed the brush on the table, and said seriously: "Is it written here?" ”

The people around were stunned, and the officer and soldier behind him picked it up, and said while writing: "When Jincheng was in danger, it was General Chu who arrived with soldiers and horses, and killed the troops to retreat to the Southern Song Dynasty, and every officer and soldier in Jincheng remembered it. ”

"Good!" Someone in the crowd shouted, and with this leader, the cheers continued, and the crowd boiled again.

"What's the noise?!" An angry roar suddenly came from outside the crowd, and the officers and soldiers were the first to see Pei Chendong on horseback, and hurriedly ran out of the crowd, knelt down and saluted: "Deputy commander." ”

Pei Chendong's eyes were fierce and gloomy, swept over everyone's faces, and said word by word: "You group of Diao people, in broad daylight, actually gathered people to intend to do evil to me in the Southern Song Dynasty!" ”

"Deputy Commander, we are just asking for General Chu's life." One of the officers and soldiers replied.

"Presumptuous! What kind of life is this?! This is a rebellion! Chu Shenxia's deliberate arson and murder is already a capital crime, how can you meddle in your affairs?! As soon as the whip in Pei Chendong's hand was raised, it fell firmly on the officer and soldier, and the officer and soldier were motionless and took it.

The people seemed to realize that something was wrong, and they retreated one after another, and a few even wanted to slip away, Pei Chendong snorted coldly and said, "No one is allowed to go!" Bring them all back for me to be interrogated strictly, I want to see which ones are Chu Shenxia's comrades! ”

The forbidden army behind him didn't move, Pei Chendong glanced back at them fiercely, and scolded angrily: "Can't you hear what I said?!" Are you going to rebel?! ”

There was silence all around, and the anger in his chest was tumbling, this Chu Shenxia was actually able to rebel against the forbidden army he led, and that anger suddenly broke out of his chest, and the horsewhip in his hand was raised fiercely, and he rushed towards the crowd.

The crowd dispersed, Pei Chendong's horsewhip was raised, and finally aimed at the white paper on the table, and he suddenly exclaimed.

"Phew!" The sound of the horse was accompanied by the sound of agitated horses' hooves from the side, and everyone immediately saw a silver light flashing in front of them with a gust of wind, and with a "snap", Pei Chendong's horsewhip was restrained by the horsewhip flying out of the comer, and he couldn't move at all.

Pei Chendong turned back angrily, but when he saw the person who came, he couldn't help but be shocked, withdrew the anger on his face, and said in surprise: "Second... Second brother, why are you back? ”

"What are you doing here?" Pei Shudong asked without replying, and two powerful eyes continued to scrutinize him.

It's okay to bluff the ignorant people with his own words, how can he hide it from his second brother, who is also a general? Knowing that he was bound to intervene, he was a little overwhelmed at the moment, and paused and said: "It's just some Diao people, it's been dealt with, second brother, I still have business to do, so I'll go first." ”

Pei Shudong waited for him to leave, left a few personal soldiers with him, and told them to protect the safety of the people, and then rushed to the Shunwang Mansion with confidence.

Before the horse's hooves stopped, he jumped off the horse, galloped into the palace, and rushed all the way to the study, which startled King Shun and Jing Wei, who were discussing.

King Shun's already frowning brows became tighter and tighter, and he motioned for him to sit down before asking, "Look at the way you were burned in a hurry, didn't you go to Chenzhou?" How did this come back? ”

After Uncle Pei Dong picked up the teacup and drank a cup of cow, he wiped the corners of his mouth and said, "Why aren't you in a hurry?" The fire is burning to the eyebrows, don't say that I went to Chenzhou, even if I go to the edge of the sky, I have to rush back! ”

"Jing Min and I are discussing countermeasures." King Shun glanced at Jing Min, and Jing Min was faintly basking in understanding.

"So look at the look of the two of you that you have made a decision?" Although Pei Shudong was puzzled, he also had some joy.

Jing Min smiled and said four words: "All the people, please live." ”

"It turns out that you have done this in the city, but I think how can the people be like this? Is it feasible? The people of Jincheng alone may not be able to shake the emperor's heart at all. Pei Shudong lowered his eyes with some disappointment.

"That's naturally not, at that time, I will kneel in front of the main hall with hundreds of officials and beg my father to spare Chu Shenxia from the death penalty." King Shun's eyes froze slightly.

Pei Shudong's brows furrowed, and he said, "Hundred officials? Your Highness, please move? After all, Chu Shenxia's matter was insignificant to them, how could they touch the emperor's scales for the sake of His Highness? ”

Jing Min continued: "General Pei don't worry, some of these hundred officials are people who work for His Highness, some are people who have made enemies with those corrupt officials, and some are people who Chu Shenxia's father persuaded them, not counting those officials who spontaneously asked for Chu Shenxia's life, so the hundred officials are enough." ”

After listening to this, Pei Shudong nodded with some reassurance, Jing Min turned the cup in his hand, glanced at Pei Shudong, and was a little embarrassed: "If it still doesn't work, then you can only bother the general at that time." ”

"What needs to be done, though."

King Shun and Jing Yan exchanged glances, and finally King Shun spoke: "If it doesn't work, there is another strategy, we originally wanted to fly the pigeon to inform you, but we didn't think you would come first." ”

Pei Shudong looked at him puzzled, and King Shun took a breath and said, "Take the Column Expedition Army and the Liuli Army to Jincheng to ask for your life." ”

"This..."Pei Shudong looked at King Shun in shock, this is an act of extermination, if you don't get it, the emperor will regard it as a rebellion, even if it is King Shun, it will be difficult to escape the condemnation.

"Has Your Highness figured it out? If this step is taken, it will be difficult to recover! Pei Shudong persuaded, and seeing that the two of them did not speak, he said: "If Chu Shenxia is here, he will definitely not agree to His Highness doing this!" By the way, he is resourceful, why don't we go to the prison and ask? ”

King Shun glanced at him and sighed: "Don't be kidding, don't say that I am now under house arrest, how can I get in just by the edict of my father and emperor to enter the prison?" Besides, he can't protect himself, and he is in prison, how can he think of a way? Don't worry, since I dare you do this, you are ten thousand years sure, if there is an accident, you just need to say that you are threatened by me, and I will never implicate you. ”

Pei Shudong didn't mean to be afraid of being offended, but when he heard him say this at this moment, he blushed, got up suddenly, and said fiercely: "What is Your Highness talking about, Chu Shenxia is your friend, isn't it my friend?" He rescued me and marched to Huangxidi, I naturally remember this love, how can I, Pei Shudong, also be a descendant of Jiangmen, how can I be a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death? Isn't Your Highness humiliating me by saying that?! ”

Jing Min hurriedly stood up and said, "General Pei, you misunderstood, Your Highness didn't mean that." ”

"I really didn't mean that, it's just that I can't stand others carrying the black pot for me, if something happens, you must say that you are threatened by me, you have to remember this." King Shun explained.

Pei Shudong slowly calmed down, stared at King Shun's face for a long time before saying, "Your Highness really treats Chu Shenxia as a brother, and I am just a subordinate to Your Highness." ”

After listening to the second half of the sentence, King Shun's anger suddenly surged up, and he reprimanded: "At this time, you still have the heart to care about this?!" ”

Pei Shudong left his seat, bowed and saluted: "The minister will not give up his death according to the orders of His Royal Highness." ”

After speaking, Shi Shiran left, this sentence is enough to show everything, King Shun was stunned, but he didn't care too much, Jing Yan poured a cup of tea for King Shun, handed it over and said: "Your Highness doesn't have to be angry with General Pei, General Pei is also too affectionate, and when the letter from those ministers arrives, His Royal Highness will be able to lead hundreds of officials tomorrow, and Jinluan Palace will ask for his life." ”

King Shun took it and took a sip, put it down gently, closed his eyes tightly, the roots of his eyebrows trembled, he did not hide the tiredness on his face, and muttered for a while before saying, "I hope everything goes well." ”

That night, Pei Shudong felt uncomfortable, and when he was just ugly, he got up and went out of the house and quietly entered the Punishment Temple.

Chu Shenxia couldn't help but laugh out loud when he saw him dressed as a jailer at first, but after listening to him tell the ins and outs of the matter, he jumped up and said in shock: "What? Your Highness is going to lead a hundred officials to kneel in the Jinluan Hall today?! This battle is simply forcing the palace! Is Your Highness crazy? Why don't you stop him? ”

Seeing that he reacted so much, Pei Shudong knew that things were not good, so he frowned and said: "I can't stop it, Your Highness is crazy, and Jing Yan is also crazy, these methods planned by the two of them are really terrifying to hear." ”

Chu Shenxia paced back and forth, raised his head suddenly, and advised: "You have to hold the column marching army and the Liuli army, you can't reveal a little news, and not a single soldier can be put in Jincheng, otherwise the charge of rebellion and rebellion will be confirmed!" ”

Pei Shudong nodded cautiously, and saw Chu Shenxia shaking his head again, and hurriedly asked What's wrong?

Chu Shenxia lowered his eyes and pondered for a long time, and seemed to be unable to hold it and said: "No, no, all the people are asking for their lives to force the emperor to rule, and leading hundreds of officials to kneel in the Jinluan Palace is already forcing the palace, and the military camp to which he belongs is an unpardonable crime among the great crimes when he goes out of the city without authorization and goes straight to the feet of the Son of Heaven. ”

"Huh? So what to do? Pei Shudong scratched his head, he really didn't know what to do.

Chu Shenxia raised his eyes and beckoned to him, and Pei Shudong hurriedly leaned his ear over.
