Chapter 1100: Chaos is coming
Luo Xixiao suddenly tore off all his previous disguises, revealing his true face as a cool official, which was not surprising to Zhang Xing, who was ordered by Du Shiyi to stay in charge of the overall situation, and even less surprising to Wang Rong. However, for the huge number of officials and civilians in the city of Anbeiya, this was like a thunderbolt sounding on a sunny day, and many people did not know how to react.
All of a sudden, the notices and demagogic words that were plastered all over the city caused a lot of commotion among the people who had been imperceptibly educated by Du Shiyi for many years. Most people who are at ease with a stable life certainly scoff, and even indignant at a scumbag like Luo Xizao, but there are also a very small number of people who are not willing to live a dull life, even after years of screening and investigation, there are always one or two fish that have slipped through the net. Therefore, only ten days after Roshizao forcibly seized power, he already had 17 reports on his desk.
Even if some of the reports were simply recorded by the entourage he sent out, even if some of the reports were crooked and incomplete, and the content was full of loopholes, even if some of the reports were anonymous...... However, in these seventeen whistleblowers, Luo Xixiao was still very pleasantly surprised to see that he finally used the authority of the Son of Heaven and the irresistible temptation to open a breakthrough in the iron fence that Du Shiyi had planted for many years!
At this moment, he summoned all these entourages that Yang Guozhong gave to him, first generously rewarded everyone, and then looked around at everyone, and said with a smile: "Everyone follow me to Anbei Ya Tent City, as long as you can make some achievements, Yang Xiangguo will definitely be rewarded." Now, we have succeeded in the first step, but the next step is the most important one, do you know the story of Shang Yingli Timber? ā
These people selected by Yang Guozhong are all literate and hyphenated, but for those allusions in history, they are really blinded. It wasn't until Luo Xixiao patiently explained to them that one of them suddenly said: "What does Luo Shiyu mean is to reward the whistleblower and inspire more and more people to join, so as to speed up Du Shiyi's resignation?" ā
"That's right, since he avoided showing up, he just took this opportunity to make him not turn over!"
"But if he suddenly comes back and uses force, we don't have the slightest chance of winning! As far as I know, there has been some commotion in the forward battalion that Luo Shiyu took over, although it is because Du Sui was suspended by Du Dashuai's cane, and the military power can temporarily fall into our hands, but these generals are said to be personally promoted and appointed by Du Shiyi, many of them are orphans, and they are grateful to Du Shiyi and loyal to Dai De, once they mutinied, we have no chance of winning! ā
Seeing that the people who were still gossiping and excited just now suddenly became silent because of the words of one of them, Luo Xizao secretly hated Du Shiyi's prestige, but at the same time, he made it clearer about the fact that he was willing to cut himself and dare to pull the emperor off the horse!
He slapped his desk hard, and then said word by word: "I know what you are worried about. As long as the first informers are rewarded, there will be an endless stream of people following suit, and what you have to do is to bring them all out at once and put them into my guard. They have been rewarded, but they have betrayed Du Shiyi, and they will definitely be rejected by the others in the city of Anbei Ya, so they can only grasp me, the last straw that saves their lives. As for you, I think it's enough to pay Yang Xiangguo, and you can go back! ā
Seeing everyone looking at each other, Luo Xixiao reminded: "Aren't you worried that if Du Shiyi comes back suddenly, there will be a sudden change in the situation?" I'm already a person who is out of the way, and it's not a pity to have a life, and Yang Xiangguo has promised to take good care of my family, but you still have wives and children at home, right? If you don't see it at this time, you will take it back and enjoy the blessings, and accompany me to continue to make trouble in this Anbei Tent City, and will you also accompany me to die when the time comes? ā
Luo Xizao pointed out his words so thoroughly, everyone has to admit that they want to make Yang Guozhong happy, although they want to make a big profit, but this harvest is not bad, after Luo Xizao mastered the wealth, since he gave them a sum of money generously to others, if Du Shiyi comes back, it will be the same as when Ji Wen framed Du Shiyi in Yunzhou, and all the servants he brought ended up miserable, which of them can escape?
"Luo Shi Yu Gaoyi, we have a heart, and we will definitely say a few good words for you in front of Yang Xiangguo one day!"
"That's right, in the future, Luo Shiyu can speak if he has something to do!"
"Generous rewards for whistleblowers, and the matter of organizing these people as guards, are on us!"
Seeing that a person was afraid that he would regret it, he agreed happily one by one, and then slipped away, and finally he was the only one left in the empty room, Luo Xixiao couldn't help but smile bitterly. When Li Linfu was powerful and powerful, he seemed to have many henchmen, but the tree was scattered, and after his death, his son-in-law was liquidated, and there was not even a person who avenged him. Now he is too, it seems that he is fierce with his teeth and claws, but in fact, there are no reliable people around him at all, even these people who are forced to follow him here because of Yang Guozhong's strict orders, they all want to slip away when they have an excuse!
But what about Du Shiyi, under his coercion and temptation, none of the subordinate officials of the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate, and the middle and senior officers in the armies below, surrendered to sincerity, and there was no one who even expressed goodwill in private! This is a terrifying fact, because it means that the city of Anbei is completely Du Shiyi's own independent kingdom! Therefore, sending these people sent by Yang Guozhong back is also a witness for himself!
Even if Du Shiyi kills a horse pistol, even if he dies, he will be able to pull the other party as a backing!
Five days later, Du Shiyi still had no sign of returning, but Luo Xixiao's generous reward finally had a result, using a whistle-blowing letter as a letter of submission, joining his guards, and he could get a monthly preferential treatment five times higher than that of ordinary generals, and he actually recruited more than 200 people! It sounds like such a remarkable achievement, but after Du Shiyi took away the main force in the city, there were still more than 40,000 soldiers and civilians in Anbei Yatent City, which means that only one person out of an average of more than 200 people told the whistleblower and was elected. Despite this, he still sent back all these entourages that Yang Guozhong had given him in accordance with his previous promise.
As soon as these people left, he gathered his own guards of only more than 200 people, and interpreted the departure of those people before him as sending them back to report to the Son of Heaven and Yang Guozhong, the right minister, and he would definitely depose Du Shiyi and other clouds, so as to strengthen people's hearts. It was only when these people who had won his great favor and offended Du Shiyi greatly expressed their loyalty that he dropped another bombshell.
"There are a lot of profiteers in the north and south cities of Anbei Ya Tent City, and I will immediately start an investigation, and I will hand over such a task to you as a standard for testing your loyalty! I know that many of you have been depressed for many years, and now I will give you power and majesty, and you might as well let the officials and people up and down here know how powerful you are! ā
With such a teasing, everyone suddenly responded as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.
When he saw such a group of people taking the order with great dignity, Luo Xizao knew that his wish had been fulfilled. The dead pig is not afraid of boiling water, what he is afraid of is not chaos at all, but chaos; It's like what he's afraid of is not that Du Shiyi will come back, but that Du Shiyi won't come back, so he will spend it with him outside! He wants to see if he can still squat in the back tent with peace of mind when he turns Du Shiyi's base camp upside down, and when the sky is angry and people are complaining!
Luo Xizao did not misestimate what kind of combat power a group of mercenary villains had. Sure enough, in just two days, the south and north markets were full of people. The anger of being despised and bullied on weekdays suddenly erupted in the case of having a backstage, and almost turned the so-called inquiry into a looting. In the midst of such chaos, the Anbei Metropolitan Protector Guards, who had been silent for many days, finally suddenly dispatched and blocked the entrances to the north and south cities with lightning speed, and when they began to arrest and detain these people one by one, they were naturally applauded by the whole city for a while.
And at this critical juncture, Luo Xixiao immediately visited Wang Rong's dormitory after a guard who escaped by luck came to tell the whistle.
"If I'm not mistaken, Du Dashuai is not here, I have taken over the power of the Protectorate of the Metropolitan of Anbei on behalf of His Majesty, dare to ask Madame, what happened to the Ya soldiers today?"
In the face of Luo Xizao's questioning, Wang Rong's reaction was extremely cold: "Luo Shiyu's words are really funny, I am a woman, and I never care about official affairs, you don't ask Zhang Changshi, don't ask other subordinate officials of the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate, but come to ask me?" ā
"A woman? If Madame is just a woman, why does Zhang Changshi come to see Madame immediately after seeing me? This is the biggest secret that Luo Xizao discovered after careful observation and investigation, which further revised his previous understanding of Wang Rong. At this moment, after uncovering the layer of window paper, he became more and more forceful.
"Madam, don't think that those guards of mine have been detained in the north and south cities, I will be isolated, behind me is not only Yang Xiangguo, but also His Majesty, but also the entire Tang Dynasty! I think that Yang Wanqing was hijacked by Zhang Xiansu's subordinates, but what was the result, he went all the way, but Zhang Xiansu not only died himself, but also caused disaster to his descendants, even if his second son assassinated Yang Wanqing to death, he also died in vain, because for His Majesty, loyalty is better than filial piety! Not to mention, so far, Du Dashuai asked himself, can he dare to say that he is loyal and righteous? Can you dare to say that Your Majesty has really wronged someone? ā
"You ......"
Wang Rongdeng's willow eyebrows were upside down, her face turned pale with anger for a while, and she was about to get angry when she slammed the armrest, and suddenly collapsed limply. Mo Ye, who was beside him, hurriedly stepped forward, and immediately shouted loudly after taking his hand to probe: "Quick, go and ask for a doctor!" ā
"Why should Mrs. be coy, I respect Mrs. Heroine, I think you won't suddenly get sick because of my two words!"
Seeing that Luo Xixiao was so mean, Mo Ye immediately gritted his teeth with hatred. She glared at Luo Xixiao angrily, and said word by word: "If Luo Shiyu still wants your wife and children in your family to be safe, shut up your stinky mouth!" Mrs. has been pregnant for a while, but she never wants to make a noise, if there are three long and two short because of you, you will not be enough to pay for your life alone! ā
Wang Rong is actually pregnant? How is this possible, how old is she!
Luo Xizao's first reaction was that Du Shiyi's wife used this to threaten him to teach him to retreat. However, he had already put life and death aside, where would he retreat because of a servant girl's words, so he immediately sneered: "I have heard of the beautiful talk of Lao Beng Hanzhu, but if I remember correctly, Madame's age is not young, she will not come early or late, but she is pregnant at this time, thinking that I am Luo Xixiao is a three-year-old child?" ā
Mo Xie was already angry, and just as she wanted to teach this bold maniac a lesson regardless of it, she only felt that someone suddenly tugged on her sleeve. Looking down, she found that although Wang Rong's pale face was still bloodless, her eyes were very solid, and she did not rush to move in her heart, bent down to help her sit up straight, and then retreated behind the hostess.
"This is my family affair, and I have nothing to do with Luo Shiyu. Believe it or not, listen to it. My Wang Rong followed the clumsy husband to this Anbei Tent City because of His Majesty's grace, and it has only been a few months, and the officials and people in the Antbei Tent City have respected me as the wife of the clumsy husband, so they are polite and respectful to me, but if anyone believes that they will listen to my woman's words, it will not only be stupid, but also stupid! Mo Xie, send off! ā
Since Luo Xizao is here today, and his words are so explicit and ugly, even Wang Rong doesn't dodge as if he is angry, he is determined to make things bigger, force the other party to turn his face, put under house arrest and even hurt himself, the envoy of the Son of Heaven, and force all the people behind him to appear. Therefore, where is he willing to go, before Na Mo Xie forced him to come forward and send off the guest, he suddenly flipped his wrist, revealing a dagger, and then unexpectedly put the dagger on his neck.
"Madam, I might as well give an ultimatum here, if you don't order the tooth guards of the Protectorate of the Metropolitan of Anbei to release all my detained retinue guards, I will only have one death to repay the king's kindness. Presumably it's not a big deal if I die, but the dignified Imperial History Terrace and the Imperial History of the Imperial Palace died in this Anbei Yatent City, what kind of uproar will there be in the court? Even if Du Dashuai has made great contributions in the past, Zhang Xiansu's yesterday must be Du Dashuai's today! ā
"What a madman, you dare to threaten Madame!" Mo Xie finally couldn't hold back any longer, she rushed forward with an arrow step, and was about to use the outstanding skills she had cultivated over the years to directly capture Luo Xizao, but a figure just entered the door at this time.
"Rohizao, you can stop in moderation! It was I, Zhang Xing, who ordered the arrest of your subordinates, what does it have to do with my wife? As an official of the imperial court, you actually came to the bedroom of Mrs. Jin Guo to force you to die, you simply lost the face of the imperial court! ā
After Zhang Xing, who broke in, shouted angrily, he saw Luo Xixiao take the opportunity to leave Mo Xie Laoyuan, as if he had just realized what had happened, and he was suddenly a little annoyed. Sure enough, Luo Xizao didn't care about such a righteous and stern reprimand at all, but sneered forcefully: "I'm not one of those brainless generals, I don't eat your set of radical methods!" Zhang Xing, I know that you are a civil official with excellent martial arts, you had better stay away from me, otherwise even if I cut the shallowest wound on my neck and be seen when I turn around, all the people up and down the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate will not be able to get out of it! ā
"I also know that you must think, if you can live today, you can't live tomorrow, I can't always put a dagger on my neck like this, but my mouth grows on my own body, I can't kill myself, I can still go on a hunger strike, as long as you don't want me to die here, don't be regarded as a rebel by Datang, don't come to this with me!" Speaking of this, he looked at Wang Rong and said with a smile, "Madam, so far, are you still unwilling to condescend to your dignity and come forward in person to release my wronged subordinates?" ā
Seeing that Zhang Xing's face seemed to be blue with anger, but his eyes looked very calm, Wang Rong waved his hand to stop Mo Ye, who wanted to speak and stopped, and reluctantly stood up and said, "Luo Xizao, since you are so threatening, I have nothing to say." Okay, I'll go to the South City and the North City in person, do you have the courage to go with me? ā
"Then you don't have to!" Luo Xixiao refused without thinking about it, and raised his eyebrows mockingly, "I have heard about the Du family's ability to incite public opinion for a long time, but I don't want to send it to the door for people to step on!" However, please remember that the disgrace may be able to scare many people, but my reputation is irrelevant, so please don't come to that set, as for Zhang Changshi, please stay and accompany me to serve the imperial history in the light pole palace! Give me back all my guards one by one, and I'll make such a simple request! ā
But if this is the case, wouldn't it have damaged the prestige that Du Shiyi had worked so hard to build up in Anbei Yatent City over the years?
Mo Xie was already so anxious that her eyes were red, but when she saw Wang Rong just walking straight out, Zhang Xing was glaring at Luo Xixiao angrily, even if she was angry and anxious, she could only hurriedly follow. When she got outside, she couldn't resist the hostess's decision, so she ordered someone to prepare the ox cart, and she followed the side, and when she arrived in Nanshi, it was already evening, and half a day had passed since the first time the tooth soldiers arrested people.
There are three layers inside and three layers outside the entrance of Nanshi, and thousands of people have gathered. Originally, there were only merchants in the northern and southern cities, and the relationship with ordinary herdsmen and farmers was not too big, but Luo Xizao recruited people around him who were rampant when they got powerful. Not only did they take advantage of the power given to them by Luo Xizao to make those businessmen choke enough, but they also did not let go of those who had some grudges against the past, so the people were very resentful. Now that the news of being taken down has come out, except for a few people who have really come to see the excitement, most of them have come to complain and denounce.
Wang Rong's ox cart arrived not long ago, and soon all the people gathered here learned that Du Shiyi's wife, Wang Rong, the wife of the Jin Kingdom, had arrived here in person, and they flocked to it in a few days. In the face of such a surging flow of people, Mo Ye, who was already worried about what would happen to Wang Rong, suddenly became even more nervous. Especially when someone loudly asked Wang Rong for an explanation, how would they deal with these guys who relied on the power of Qincha, there were immediately echoes one after another.
In such a situation, Wang Rong shook his head and refused Mo Xie's request not to go out, and actually got out of the ox cart and stood in front of the public. After she arrived in Anbei Yatent City, she once entertained the wives and daughters of many clan chiefs as a hostess because of Du Shiyi's mention yƬ and the habit of nomads, but after all, she had only been here for a few months, and there were far fewer people who were familiar with her.
"I've heard all of you've heard it. Originally, I came here today to go against my own will, against the rules set by your Du Dashuai in Anbei Yatent City, and ask those tooth soldiers in the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate to release the arrested people, but since you have already sued me, what have these guys done to hurt the heavens and reason, if I do this again, I will be too sorry for my conscience as a human being! ā
Seeing that there was a commotion below, many people were puzzled, so Wang Rong told Luo Xizao about forcing him to die, especially emphasizing that Luo Xizao threatened that if he died, Du Shiyi would be regarded as a rebel by the Tang Dynasty. Sure enough, the commotion below immediately turned into a big mess. Some people didn't understand how the two things could be connected, but someone in the crowd immediately explained it, and in the end, it was like a frying pan, and everyone was furious.
Now, Mo Ye, who was originally anxious, finally came to his senses. However, she couldn't be happy at all in her heart, Wang Rong's move was completely correct, but what about Luo Xizao's threat? If the other party really breaks the jar and breaks it, how should Du Shiyi deal with himself?
However, as if he hadn't thought of this at all, after revealing the layer of window paper, he ordered Mo Xie to summon Longquan, who led the tooth soldiers this time, to come over. When this young man, who had followed Du Shiyi for many years and was regarded by the people as the righteous son of the Du family, appeared, he publicly reported to Wang Rongyu all kinds of crimes of the guards recruited by Luo Xizao, including all kinds of bad deeds in the past three days, including some evil deeds in the past...... When he finished speaking, there was a lot of scolding all around, and it was actually passionate. Wang Rong even revealed in a timely manner that Zhang Xing, the long history, was forced to die by Luo Xizheng and stayed in the Metropolitan Protectorate of Anbei, and the crowd exploded all at once.
"Such a cool official should have been killed a long time ago!"
"How could Tian Khan be so stupid!"
"All the people in the court are traitors, and they can't tolerate talents like Du Dashuai, but Anbei Ya Tent City is so far away from Chang'an, why should they interfere!"
In the face of these increasingly outrageous scoldings, Mo Ye gradually only felt that his palms were sweaty. Seeing that Wang Rong immediately executed eight robbers in public in order to suppress the surging public opinion, causing serious injuries to others, and her bloody head was hung high on the flagpole, she finally realized that Du Shiyi had been returning to the tooth tent and never returned, and Wang Rong was the reason why she had tolerated Luo Xizao.
If it weren't for Luo Xizao's misdeeds in Anbei Yatent City for several days, how could he compare Du Shiyi's grace over the years?
As the eight bloody heads fell to the ground, Wang Rong knew very well in his heart that there was no buffer between Du Shiyi and Luo Xizao, in other words, there was no buffer between her husband and the Tang Dynasty. Over forty years old and suddenly said that she was pregnant, her physical condition was not good enough, after Luo Xizao arrived, she worked hard repeatedly, and she couldn't take care of her body at all, just yesterday, the doctor finally hesitated to say that the fetus should have been stillborn, sad and regretful, she was exhausted. However, she knew that now was not the time when she could not hold on.
Because the news that should have come has not yet come!
At that moment, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and when they got closer, there was another loud neighing of horses.
"Urgent! The east side of the same Luo Tent City urgently! Ten days ago, Dubo Huaiyi Khan brought people to visit the lord of Tongluo, Absi, and suddenly made a difficult attack to kidnap him, and coerced Tongluo's soldiers and horses to make a rebellion with him. ā
At that moment, Wang Rong breathed a long sigh of relief, and the fatigue accumulated over the past few days came to her mind like a tide, and she actually turned her head off and went limp. Her last bit of consciousness vaguely heard an uproar all around, exclaiming continuously, while Mo Ye was anxiously calling to herself.
But in her own heart, she was unusually calm. The rest is up to the rest for everyone else!
