139, Pengcheng night change
The Hu Hu case was originally used by him to embarrass Zhou Quan, and the purpose was nothing more than to let the Zhou family father and son take the initiative to give the credit for the cement production of Liguo, so that he could stabilize his position and avoid being liquidated by Cai Jing, Tong Guan and Xiang Jia.
The civil official lord who was born in the two lists of jinshi took a fancy to your little merit as a mere trick official, this was originally the great honor of the Zhou family's father and son, the fortunate ministers, of course, they obediently offered it, and they had to take it hard before they reluctantly accepted it, this is all Xu Churen's thoughts.
However, the father and son of the Zhou family did not read the books of sages after all, and they did not know the reason, so Xu Churen set up a blockade and used the Hu Hu case to beat the father and son of the Zhou family.
However, now this case has caused him a big disaster!
How did he know that a careful investigation of Hu Hu's death would cause such a big trouble, if it was said that the previous incident with the Xiang family, it was the father and son of the Zhou family who dug a pit for him to jump, and now they have dug a well for him to jump.
"Idiot, Hu Hu's case, a certain has been handed over to Zhou Quan'er, what merit do you want to fight, what kind of nosy business!" Xu Churen scolded Mu Qi.
Mu Qi shrank his head and muttered in his heart: "You dog official only hated us for not doing things in the past, but now you are scolded for doing something!" ”
Na Ji Chun said: "Bachelor, class leader, this is a good thing, the thieves gathered in Xuzhou, if it wasn't for the discovery of the bachelor and the class today, forcing them to make trouble in a hurry, when they are ready, I am afraid that it will be more troublesome!" ”
He said this at the right time, and Xu Churen was shocked: "It's too!" ”
If the thieves are in a hurry to make such a noise, if they are fully prepared, they don't know how much trouble they will make in Xuzhou, and at that time, Xu Churen may not just jump a well, but a cliff.
"Bachelor, without further ado, only by mobilizing the Wuwei Battalion can the chaos be quelled, but if your old man does not come to the Wuwei Battalion in person, who can say that he is in command of the army?" Mu Qi persuaded bitterly again.
Before he could finish speaking, he heard a terrible scream in front of the yamen, and then the servants and guards gathered in the yamen panicked, and many people shouted: "The thief is coming, the thief is coming!" ”
"Don't panic, guard the hospital, the yamen has a wall, and for a while, the thieves can't attack it!" Xu Churen shouted loudly, and the panic inside was suppressed by him.
Seeing that these errand officers and baoding around him, although they were all young and strong, they had a frightened look, Xu Churen was a little disdainful.
In his early years, when he was the commander of Dong'an in Yongzhou, the barbarians rebelled, and he once went deep into the barbarians alone, knowing his kindness and faith, so he was no stranger to this kind of rebellion.
"Hold on, and I'll say a few words to the thieves to see if I can say anything to them." Thinking of the original situation, Xu Churen felt that the blood in his body was boiling.
He had a ladder brought, and then stood on top of the courtyard wall and looked out of the yamen. I saw a fire outside, shadows and shadows, and I don't know how many thieves there were.
"This official is a bachelor of Yankang Palace, Fenghongqing Temple, and Xu Churen, who knows the military affairs of Xuzhou, and there can be a leader of the people on the other side, and he will answer!"
He shouted in this voice, and Er Cao Cao, who was hiding in the street opposite, was stunned for a moment.
"This dog officer is bold, but what kind of is he going to shout?"
"It's nothing more than persuasion, brother don't be fooled, if it falls at this time, he will be escorted to the vegetable market tomorrow!"
The cronies around him are discussing, these are all outlaws at sea, and they have seen many examples of being beheaded after being recruited. Of course, Er Cao Cao will not be fooled by this, he laughed: "Look at me playing this dog official, you are ready to set fire!" ”
After finishing speaking, he took two steps forward: "It turned out to be the bachelor master, you listen well, my brother is now in trouble, and wants to be the son of peace for thirty years, now there are soldiers and generals, but there is a lack of prime minister, today I came to invite the bachelor master to go to the prime minister, share the wealth, the bachelor master still quickly opened the door and came to meet my brother's will!" ”
When he said this, Xu Churen suddenly became angry.
"Bold, you are just more than a hundred rebels, and you dare to rebel! I see that there are also heroes among you, why don't you be recruited by the imperial court early, and you will have to be rewarded and knighted, it is better than being caught in the future and sent to the vegetable market Ling Chi! ”
"Master Rong, we have more than 100 people, haven't you seen it, now the whole of Xuzhou is our people!"
As if to confirm the words of Cao Cao, Xuzhou City was suddenly surrounded by fires, because of the high autumn weather, this fire was difficult to control, and spread rapidly in Xuzhou City. The people in the chambers, the firefighting, the call sign, but the thieves from all sides are taking the opportunity to make trouble at this time, where can they stop it!
This is related to Xuzhou itself, as the canal traffic point, many boatmen and river soldiers from the south to the north are gathered here, see the chaos at this time, these people have evil intentions, all of them take the fire to rob. In the years when Xu Churen ruled Xuzhou, he was helpless to take advantage of the local heroes, and the people's grudges had accumulated for a long time, and there were also those who took the opportunity to take revenge at this time. These messes are crowded together, so it seems that Xuzhou is full of thieves.
If Xu Churen could send people around to appease him at this time, then the matter could still be reversed, but he was blocked in the yamen by Er Cao Cao, a group of real thieves, and when he found out that the matter was getting bigger, it was already a little late.
This is also the reason for his habit of wanting to appease.
"Master, the thief is setting fire, and the thief is stalling for time!"
Ji Chun suddenly shouted, so frightened that Xu Churen, who was at the head of the wall, stumbled and almost fell down.
Looking back, sure enough, there was a fire behind the yamen!
"Master, I will escort you to the Wuwei camp, please transfer the forbidden army to quell the chaos!" Seeing this situation, Mu Qi didn't dare to delay any longer, and he didn't care what Xu Churen thought, so he rushed up and hugged him, and then with the help of the two errand officers, he mixed with the bachelor master and opened the side door of the yamen.
Er Cao Cao didn't have many people, so he sent a few more people to set fires, so he only looked at the main entrance, and there was only one thief at the side door, and he bluffed twice. Although Mu Qi felt that something was wrong, it was important to escape at this time, and he had to think about it carefully, so he coerced Xu Churen and ran to the west of the city.
The Wuwei camp is stationed in the west of the city, they only left with their front feet, and the second Cao Cao and others swaggered into the yamen, and the second Cao Cao was still sitting in the hall, and slapped the shocked wood: "Haha, I should also go back to the old man!" ”
"Brother let me sit too!" The thieves beside him scratched his ears and cheeks.
After the excitement passed, Er Cao Cao began to think about the aftermath.
"Jin Catfish, you go to the person sent by Shi Jiulang, and tell him that we have already launched it, if he doesn't launch it, and miss the opportunity, we will go back to the sea and ask him to do something to catch the weekly meeting by himself!" Second, Cao Cao first said to a cronie.
The cronie ran out quickly, but now that the city is in such chaos, whether he can find the person sent by Shi Fengren is completely uncertain.
"Zheng Loach, Guo Bangya, and the three fat, the three of you went along the street to solicit outlaws, shouting all the way, only saying that on the orders of the king, recruit those who dare to fight to share the wealth, and those who join the gang will be rewarded. Did you find it in the treasury? I found it, and it was good, and I took out all the gold and silver in the treasury, as well as copper coins, as a reward...... Fools, as long as we stand firm, and worry about not having gold or silver? Also, open all the granaries in the city for me, Xu Jin, you go around shouting, and say that we are ...... We rob the rich and help the poor, open warehouses and release grain, and those who are willing to take refuge will give each household five stones of grain! ”
The second Cao Cao ordered one thing after another, although there was still some chaos, but gradually he really figured it out!
He got the nickname of "Er Cao Cao", so he was naturally a little clever, and after arranging these things, he wiped the sweat on his forehead, and secretly read the blessing of the gods and Buddhas in his mouth. He summoned two of his cronies and told them to go to the dock to watch over their boats, and if things were wrong, they could immediately get on the boats and leave.
It's just that things are going more smoothly than he imagined.
Now the reigning son of the Great Song Dynasty, Zhao Ji, levied treasures such as flowers and stones, forced Heding Cao to send strange stones and trees to him by boat, and then officials of all sizes levied and extorted violently, Cai Jing and other rulers in order to maintain the imperial court, but also had to scrape in many ways, so although Beijing is rich, but in a city like Xuzhou, there are too many poor and poor people.
These poor and poor people were originally taking advantage of the chaos to repay some personal revenge and seize some small wealth, but they heard that some people were recruiting strong bravery, and they followed behind a few of Cao Cao's subordinates under the idea of mixing some benefits first. As the number of people who came to vote increased, everyone became emboldened, and each called for friends and began to attack the rich in the city.
The wealthy families in the city originally had some household servants, but compared to the more chaotic people who gathered in the city, this point of manpower was simply not enough. As for being more ruthless than killing, the real gangsters who are mixed with the chaotic people are murderous without blinking, so when Dongfang Fish's belly turned white, Er Cao Cao found that his subordinates had become more than 2,000 people in the blink of an eye, and a considerable number of people in the city were killed!
And at this moment, Xu Churen finally escaped to the Wuwei camp.
The gate of the Wuwei battalion was closed, and the chaotic sound outside was naturally discovered, but the commander of the battalion did not pay attention to it at all in the spirit of thinking that more things were better than less. It wasn't until Mu Qi shouted that the bachelor had arrived, that they had to open the camp gate and let Xu Churen and the others in.
"Commander Liang, there is a change in the city, you quickly command the people to quell the chaos!"
As soon as Xu Churen entered the camp, he ordered after seeing the commander who stayed in the barracks.
He is a civil official, and the civil officials of the Great Song Dynasty have a natural sense of superiority over military generals, so this order is very simple.
But Commander Liang smiled bitterly and said: "Bachelor, this little man in my hand can hold the arsenal of the military camp and prevent the ordnance from falling into the hands of thieves. ”
"Aren't there three or five hundred people in your camp on weekdays?"
"It is said that there are three or five hundred people, but now the Bachelor of the Forbidden Army also knows that many people have been summoned by the powerful to serve as envoys, and the Bachelor has summoned more than ten people in his own house, and now he has not seen him back."
Xu Churen suddenly had a fever on his face.
This is also a disadvantage of the Great Song Dynasty, the families of the powerful often drive the forbidden soldiers to be free slaves, which has become a habit. But in the event of a crisis, where will these forbidden troops who act as slaves still have combat effectiveness?
