Lu Haosheng said in a deep voice: "What do you mean by this? ”

"It's not interesting." The man was obviously open-minded, "Xia Guan just hopes that the Governor can solve the problem of our meals, saying a thousand things and ten thousand, and the stomach can't be full, Xia Guan really doesn't know how to do it." ”

"Oh?" Lu Haosheng sneered: "In this way, do you want to be this errand? ”

The man had already taken off his hat and said, "Is that what your lord means?" If the adult wants to remove the official from the official position of the lower official and cannot ask for it, the lower official can hand over the hat now, but before resigning, the lower official still hopes that the adult will return the amount owed to the lower official. ”

At this moment, he heard a noise outside, Lu Haosheng frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Who is making noise outside?" ”

I only heard the noise, several generals in armor suddenly appeared in front of the door, the voices of the officials in the hall suddenly lowered a lot, and the three generals entered the hall, Lu Haosheng had already stood up, and shouted in a deep voice: "Who are you?" ”

The first general took a few steps forward and already bowed his hand: "The last general of the Beishan Praetorian Guard, Song Anlu, presumably you are the new governor, and the last general has seen the governor." ”

"The last general, Qingzhou Army, Qianhu Lu Fan!"

"The last general of the Ganzhou Army, Qianhu Ye Yida!"

Lu Haosheng frowned and said, "Why did you trespass into the lobby without being clear?" ”

Song Anlu said lightly: "Lord Governor, the last general also wants to wait outside the mansion, but I really can't wait, if I wait any longer, the last general is worried that there will be a mutiny in Beishan!" ”

"Mutiny?" Lu Haosheng said in a deep voice: "Does anyone dare to rebel? ”

"Your Excellency the Governor, no one really wants to rebel, but if the military pay is delayed, it will force them to rebel." Song Anlu said in a deep voice: "I haven't allocated the military salary for two months, and if I don't allocate it again, the last general really can't control them." He said in a deep voice: "Come on, bring it up." ”

A person immediately came in outside, holding a oilcloth package in his hand, and Song Anlu said in a deep voice: "Open." ”

The man put the oilcloth package on the ground, and all the officials in the hall were wondering, but they saw that the person quickly opened the oilcloth package, and some officials came forward to take a look, and when the person opened the package, there was an exclamation in all directions, and everyone was already suddenly discolored, Lu Haosheng glanced at it, and his expression changed greatly, and his eyes showed horror.

I saw that inside the oilcloth package, there were two bloody human heads.

"Your Excellency the Governor, the Praetorian Guard camp almost mutinied last night." Song Anlu said: "Someone secretly gathered and wanted to launch a mutiny, the last general learned the news, immediately made a decision, and killed the two leaders who made trouble, it was these two heads, so that the situation was temporarily controlled, but in the barracks, there was already dissatisfaction, and the last general did this, and there was no way to do it, the last general was sure that if the problem of military salaries could not be solved, a mutiny would occur at any time, and the mutiny would really happen, and the last general's head would not be able to be saved." ”

Ye Yida, a thousand households of the Ganzhou army, had already said in a rough voice: "Lord Governor, since you are here, this matter must be solved quickly, the soldiers are all rough people, and they all know that they are dead people, and many reasons do not make sense, and please ask the Governor to immediately set aside the money to calm down the situation, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable." ”

Lu Haosheng frowned and asked Sun Yun, "With such a big Beishan Dao, there is no silver inventory?" Xiao Huanzhang raised tens of thousands of soldiers and had a rich family background, how could all the silver be gone? ”

"I don't know about this subordinate official." Sun Yun shook his head and said, "It is precisely because I don't know that I want the Governor to call the shots." ”

Song An took a step forward on the road, his face was cold, and there was an aggressive momentum, "Lord Governor, unless it is absolutely necessary, the last general will not dare to rush here, the matter has reached the time of 100,000 urgent, the last general only asks the governor to pay the military salary immediately, otherwise it will ......!" He suddenly held the knife, "choked", and pulled out the knife, Lu Haosheng was shocked, and said in a lost voice: "What are you going to do?" ”

"Don't worry, my lord, you are the governor, and the general will not dare to do anything to you." Song Anlu's eyes were cold, "If the governor can't solve the problem of military salary, the last general won't dare to go back to the barracks, and if he dies in front of the adults, he doesn't have to go back to the camp and be hacked to death by them." It's just that the last general still has to say bluntly, and the last general will not dare to offend the governor, but those who serve as soldiers are very rude, and once they make trouble, what kind of situation will it be, the last general is really hard to say. ”

Above the lobby, there was a sudden cacophony.

Lu Haosheng was already anxious at this time, and said loudly: "Everyone, everyone, in times of crisis, everyone should work together to tide over the difficulties together, silver can always come up with a way, everyone thinks together...... Sun Zhizhou, don't we have many gentry and wealthy businessmen in Beishan? If you can borrow some money from them first, the government will be relieved and will definitely pay it back. ”

"Your Excellency the Governor, if you don't talk about this, the lower officials will forget about it." Sun Yun was puzzled: "I'm afraid that those gentry haven't gotten the news of the arrival of the adults, and if they know, things will be even more troublesome." ”

"What's going on?"

"Xiao Huanzhang launched a rebellion a few days ago, and in the name of raising military salaries, he borrowed a large amount of money and grain from the gentry and wealthy families in the capital counties of Beishan, and the rebel officer Xiao Huanzhang also promised them that as long as the war was over, the money and grain raised would be doubled." Sun Yun had a bitter face: "These days, they have been going to the government to ask for money and food, and the lower officials only said that the governor has not arrived, and they will have to wait for the new governor to come to deal with it...... My lord, it is not a matter of borrowing money from them, but thinking about how to delay their money and food ......! ”

"Their silver can be delayed, but the salaries of the army cannot be delayed." Song Anlu said loudly: "Your Excellency the Governor, the last general asks you to quickly find a way, no matter what, you will also allocate the silver today." ”

Lu Haosheng was angry in his heart, and went to Beishan to take up his post, but now he didn't do anything, but took the lead in owing a lot of debts.

"The Governor will find a way." Lu Haosheng tried his best to calm down, and said in a deep voice: "You go back to the yamen first, don't delay the affairs at hand, if you are in the army, you try your best to stabilize first, and this governor will find a way to ......!" ”

"If the governor can't allocate any money, the general will not dare to leave." Song Anlu shook his head and said, "Your Excellency, if you really can't get the money, there is only one way, and that is to ask the Governor to go to the barracks and explain to the soldiers in person that this is the only way that the last general can come up with." ”

At this moment, I heard someone outside the gate shouting: "Report, outside the gate, a group of gentry and merchants came, they shouted to find the governor, let's stop, they want to rush to the house, I don't know what to do." ”

Sun Yun hurriedly said: "All go over, close the door, stop them, don't let them in." ”

"Yes, but there are hundreds of them, and there are more and more of them, and many of them are coming this way, and the small ones are afraid that they won't be able to stop them."

"Stop it first." Sun Yun said in a deep voice: "Remember, you can only stop them, and end up hurting people, otherwise it will cause a bigger incident...... He turned to Lu Haosheng and said, "Your Excellency, what the lower officials said is not wrong, those people have already received the news that you have come to take up your post, and now they are all gathered outside the gate and want to break in to find you." ”

Lu Haosheng felt dizzy, he only felt that his chest was suffocated, he couldn't get up for a while, his breath was short, his body shook slightly, Sun Yun and several officials around him hurriedly said, "Lord Governor, what's wrong with you?" ”

Lu Haosheng barely stood still and said, "This governor ...... The Governor was unwell and had to go first...... Let's go and rest first......! ”

"Lord Governor, there's a lot of stuff waiting for you, you can't fall down at this time......!" An official immediately shouted: "How to settle the arrears of the military salaries and our salaries, as well as the arrears of those gentry and merchants, you have to give a word." ”

"Yes, Lord Governor, now there is chaos in Yuchang City, and the prefectures and counties in Beishan are not in a unified manner, you are the lord of the one, but you have to come up with an idea, and the lower officials and others must obey your orders."

There was a shout in all directions, Lu Haosheng felt a buzzing in his ears, and he couldn't hear what these people were saying clearly for a while, he only felt that if he continued to stay in this lobby, he would inevitably suffocate to death, his hands were messy, and he just wanted to go out, "Get out of the way, the governor should be quiet, the governor ...... The Governor wants to take a break......! "It's just that there are sixty or seventy people crowded in the hall, all gathered together, densely packed, surrounded by Lu Haosheng from front to back, left and right, wherever Lu Haosheng looks, he is blocked by people, and he can't go out for a while.

"Hatred is like blood...... Hatred is like blood...... Qiu Daxia ......! Lu Haosheng shouted loudly: "This governor wants to rest, ...... quickly Take Bendu to the post house ......! ”

At this moment, he is isolated, and the only person who can think of helping him is hatred.

Fortunately, Qiu Ruxue had already come in, led a few guards to tear the officials apart, dragged Lu Haosheng out of it, and said in a deep voice: "Don't make any noise, Lord Lu is unwell, you have to rest for a while......!" Pulling Lu Haosheng's arm, under the protection of several guards, he snatched him out of the crowd, knowing that the front door was blocked, and said to Sun Yun in a deep voice: "Sun Zhizhou, where is the backyard?" Leading the way, we escorted the Governor from the backyard to the inn. ”

Sun Yun immediately led the way in front, Qiu Ruxue was in the noise, escorting Lu Haosheng to the back door of the Zhizhou Mansion, fortunately, no one was blocking the back door, and the group escorted Lu Haosheng out of the back door and hurriedly returned to the post house.

Along the way, Lu Haosheng's mind was blank, and when he entered the post house, as if a ghost was chasing after him, he hurriedly ordered: "Hatred...... Qiu Daxia, let people close the front and back doors, and don't let people in, Ben Du...... Ben Governor doesn't want to see them ......! ”

Qiu Ruxue sighed: "Lord Lu, you are the governor of Beishan, they are your subordinates, you don't want to see them, then you can't help it." The King of Qi has high hopes for you, I only hope that you can sit in Beishan and stabilize the situation in Beishan, if you don't see those officials, how can you stabilize Beishan? This kind of situation should be what you expected, and you can avoid it for the time being, but if you want to stay in Beishan, it is a problem to be solved, and you can't avoid it no matter what. ”
