Chapter 124: Slaughter
In Liu En's house, several beautiful maids who were like flowers and jade were constantly wiping their tears, huddled around Liu En's eldest wife Liu Lan and cried.
"What are you crying about, the old man is dead, and it's not the sky falling. Liu Lanshi sat comfortably and looked calm.
Isn't it heaven for the master? The beautiful maid glanced at Liu Lanshi with tears in her eyes, lowered her head and continued to cry.
When she was Liu En's woman, she took a fancy to his money. Now that Liu En is dead, the new adults have a great posture to kill them, how can this be good?
Liu Lanshi glanced at the maidservant who was crying with rain, and turned her head away with a sneer.
Liu En is dead, but she is still alive.
Her man will not do anything else except collect money and spend some money.
As for the collusion of officials and bandits, Liu En is so stupid, naturally he can't do it.
Those who died said that Liu En was full of evil, but as everyone knows, Liu Lan was the culprit who helped him do the last thing.
Li Yingcheng is upright and understands the suffering of the people, but this does not mean that the deputy generals around him are the same.
Beauty is like jade, the future is bright, what the bandits want, she will give.
Otherwise, why had Xitang not been captured for a long time, and how could she have been able to get so much gold, silver and jewelry so smoothly?
No, there is really an obedient army that is planted in Xitang Town.
She curled the corners of her lips and pinched her fingers to count the time.
Presumably, that Lord Ye is already dead.
She was halfway through her laughter when there was a loud bang outside the door.
Liu Lan sat up in surprise and said, "What's the matter?"
"Madam, Madam, the bandits are coming!" the little guy who rushed in crawled and crawled, lying at Liu Lan's feet and crying wolf.
Liu Lanshi was startled, frightened and frightened, she hurriedly threw her wide sleeves and rushed out of the room, facing a snowy steel knife.
"Why are you ......" she opened her mouth and shouted angrily, and as soon as her voice was halfway out, the steel knife swung down violently, and half of Liu Lan's head disappeared.
In the courtyard of the Liu family, ghosts and wolves howled, and the firelight in the yamen reflected each other.
King Changling stood in the courtyard of the inn, listening to the spies' report.
"What are you talking about? Liu's house was attacked?" he exclaimed.
"Yes, according to my investigation, Mrs. Liu and Liu En's concubines and children were killed, and the people are missing. ”
Liu Enji became ill and died in office, which is already suspicious, and now the Liu family, who knows about it, has been killed again, this is someone who wants to kill him.
Could it be Ye Sheng?
Already suspicious of him, King Changling's brows furrowed even more.
killed Liu En's whole family, and suppressed the bandits overnight, what is this person's plan?
"Report!" Just as he hesitated, another spy rushed and knelt in front of King Changling.
"What's the matter?" King Changling ignored the spout's frightened tone and asked calmly.
"Li thief, Li thief is reversed!"
"How can it be reversed?" King Changling turned around, shocked, "Didn't Grand Prince Ye put down the rebellion and let them go home?"
"They went their separate ways. The spy was out of breath and explained tremblingly, "But at the same time, they killed the generals in different places and rushed to Xitang!"
King Changling's face suddenly became ugly.
Kill Liu En, put down the bandits, and rebel again.
It is clear that the bandits are leveled, but in fact, the officials and bandits collude, intending to take Xitang in one fell swoop and establish themselves as kings.
Okay, very good, it turns out that Ye Sheng hit this idea.
"Let's go, go see Master Ye. King Changling smiled sympathetically and walked away.
The moon was bright and the stars were sparse, and King Changling and his party rushed to Ye Sheng's house with great momentum. But he saw that the door of the house was closed, and even the little man who guarded the door was gone.
When the attendant stepped forward and knocked on the door for a long time, someone opened the door in a daze.
"Where is Lord Ye?" asked King Changling with a faint premonition.
"Lord Ye? Master Ye has gone out with the troops. Xiao Wu was suddenly asked about Ye Sheng, and he was a little confused.
"Not good!" King Changling was in a hurry, and hurriedly rushed to the stable, rode his own horse, and drove to the straight road leading to the outside world in Xitang.
The breeze came slowly, rolling up the sleeves of the spirit master's robe standing behind Ye Sheng.
That spirit master, named Fang Su, was the one who reported the death of Liu En, the king of Changling.
He worked as a staff member in the yamen, and he was not suitable for leading troops to fight, so Ye Sheng simply left him by his side.
"The archers are ambushed?" Ye Sheng condescended, looking at the gap in the ground.
To enter Xitang, you have to go through a straight road, and this straight road is formed by the convergence of different branches.
"The ambush is ready. Fang Su nodded, "The surrounding people have also been dispersed, so adults don't have to worry about accidents." ”
"That's very good. Ye Sheng nodded.
He originally wanted to open the city to greet him, and waited for Li Yingcheng between the inner gate and the outer gate, but then he thought that this move was too risky and a little inappropriate.
Regarding the arrangement of this partial situation, it was started on the first day he let Li Yingcheng go, and a whole day has passed now.
Li Yingcheng has a lot of spirit masters in his team, so hurry up and rush here, half a night is enough.
After that, Xitang did not have a new official for a long time. Fang Su, I'll hand over the task of managing Xitang to you for the time being, can I?"
Fang Su was stunned, he didn't expect that he had only been with Ye Dagongzi for a day, and he was entrusted with such a heavy responsibility.
"After Li Yingcheng's death, the people need a period of appeasement. The town of Xitang is close to the provincial capital, and although it is not a strategic location, it is easy to target if the enemy attacks.
But at the same time, it can also be easily abandoned by enemy forces, so the defense needs to be done well in case of emergency. Ye Sheng continued.
"The 30,000 soldiers I brought will all stay in Xitang. You'll need to recruit and stock up on food quickly once the people are back to life. ”
"The world will soon be in chaos. Ye Sheng's eyes sparkled in the night, as if to show that his prediction was correct.
"In that case, why didn't Master Ye stay, but handed it over to me?" Fang Su was a little curious.
With a little spark in the distance, Ye Sheng subconsciously held the bow and arrow.
Hearing Fang Su ask him, he unconsciously pulled the corners of his mouth, and a trace of imperceptible paleness crossed his face.
"I will soon be sent back to Beijing. ”
Yang Yue, the king of Changling, was a princeling, and his arrival could not have nothing to do with the prince.
Yang Bai died in Moqin Courtyard, and the Ye family happened to have two girls in Moqin Courtyard.
The first time King Changling came to the Ye family, he was persuaded by Ye Qinzhu to go back, but it doesn't mean that he really recognized the innocence of the Ye family.
This time, he came to most likely grab his horse's feet.
He had already confirmed the evidence that Liu En's wife, Liu Lan, had colluded with Li Yingcheng's subordinates to obtain the evidence of the robbery, and he had also learned that they planned to enter the inn tonight under the pretext of robbery, and turned against the army.
At this time, I was afraid that King Changling had gotten the news, so he naturally suspected that his purpose was not pure, and he was on the way to question him.
There is another reason why Ye Sheng killed Liu En so neatly.
Liu En is the person of the crown prince Yang Qinghan.
Liu En, the magistrate of Xitang Town, became the magistrate of the county after being recommended by the military secretary of the prince's subordinates.
It is impossible for King Changling not to know Liu En's behavior, and even if he knew, he would turn a blind eye because of the crown prince.
Almost all of the people in the Manchu Dynasty are princes, and Yang Qinghan will not fail to reach out for his help.
If Liu En is sent to the capital, it is very likely that after a few days, Liu En will pat his ass and return to Xitang and continue to be his magistrate.
Therefore, Liu En must die.
