Chapter 242: Parents Official
(Collect!) Thank you! )
A fish, a pound of meat, 100 apricots, a horizontal knife, a coffin. It means fish and flesh people, and they should be killed.
Li Piaoran heard Wu Xingzhi's shouting, not only was he not angry, nor surprised, nor did he resist, but stretched out his hands and made a look of welcoming you to arrest me. There was still a smiling expression on his face, and the banter between his eyebrows made Wu Xingzhi even more angry.
"Take it down, take it down, cut it directly without interrogation!"
He roared.
"Wait."
Pei Shisheng hurriedly stopped Wu Xingzhi and whispered in his ear: "My lord, I am angry, if I kill this thief and attract the revenge of Juye Zeyan Yunzhai, the gain will outweigh the loss!" The adults endured the humiliation for a while, and when the imperial court soldiers returned from the Eastern Expedition, the adults wrote to the imperial court to invite soldiers to suppress the bandits, and said that they would have the opportunity to take revenge later. ”
"I'm really afraid of him, Yanyun Village can't succeed!"
Wu Xingzhi said in a low voice.
"Look, my lord, the thief is not arrogant or impatient, and he is not afraid when the adult orders him to be arrested, and it seems that he is still expecting the adult to arrest him, I think there is fraud in this."
"You mean ......"
Wu Xingzhi's face changed and he said in a low voice: "This is the strategy of the thieves of Yanyun Village, just to provoke the official and then ...... If I were fooled into killing the thief who gave the gift, would the men and horses of Yanyunzhai have an excuse to send troops to attack the city? ”
Pei Shisheng said: "Ten ** is like this, the thieves in Yanyunzhai must want to test the adult." He robbed so much money and grain from our Yuncheng a while ago, it stands to reason that even if the big boss Li is greedy, he can't come to fight our Yuncheng idea so quickly, I think there must be something in it...... Could it have something to do with the right guard? ”
"Right Guard?"
Wu Xingzhi muttered again, and then came to his senses: "The imperial court sent Feng Xiaoci, the general of the right guard, to exterminate Yanyunzhai, but instead of eradicating the thief, Feng Xiaoci lost his surname first. Could it be that Li Da is in charge because our Dongping County is angry for the supply of grain and grass for the right guard? ”
"Your Excellency is wise!"
Pei Shisheng said: "Don't fall for the thieves, in this case, maybe the entire Yuncheng will be razed to the ground by the thieves of Yanyun Village, have you forgotten the powerful stone-throwing car?" The gate of our Yuncheng can't help but be bombarded by thieves. Now that the imperial army is on the third eastward crusade, the county soldiers of our Dongping County alone will definitely not be able to resist those thieves. ”
Wu Xingzhi sighed and said solemnly: "If I can keep Yuncheng and protect tens of thousands of people in Yuncheng, what is my temporary honor and disgrace?" ”
Pei Shisheng looked at Wu Xingzhi's compassionate expression and sighed in his heart, saying in his heart If I didn't want to accompany you to death, I wouldn't bother to persuade you. is obviously a conscienceless person, why do you want to make such an appearance of serving the country and the people?
Wu Xingzhi raised his head, waved his hand and signaled the county soldiers to retreat, and then asked Li Piaoran: "Why do you Yanyunzhai people also have to talk about some credit, how can you go back on your word?" I won't kill you today, not because I'm afraid of you Yanyunzhai, but because as an official of the imperial court, I naturally have to abide by the law, even if I want to kill you, I must first determine the crime, and then send an official document to the criminal department. ”
"Lord Fujun is so courageous."
Li Piaoran smiled and said: "Before I went down the mountain, the general said that Lord Fujun understands righteousness and will naturally not harm me, but the general also said that if I have any accident because of this time to celebrate the birthday of Lord Fujun, the general will definitely seek justice for me." ”
Really!
Wu Xingzhi sneered in his heart, the thieves in Yanyunzhai really came to deliberately provoke, it seems that it is because of the matter of Dongping County supplying grain and grass to the right guard, but how can this knot be untied?
"The general was originally going to personally congratulate you on your birthday, but the army is far less fast than our people, but if nothing else, the general should arrive at noon tomorrow."
"What the hell do you want?"
Hearing that Ma Ming, a person from Yanyun Village, was about to arrive in Yuncheng, Wu Xingzhi's face immediately changed.
"Today, I just came to congratulate Lord Fujun on his birthday, as for what my general wants, I really don't know, and after the general arrives, you will naturally know."
Li Piaoran asked with a smile, "Are you still arresting me?" If you don't catch me, you'll have to go back. ”
Wu Xingzhi was speechless, and Zhang Sanheng also knew that he couldn't mess around, so there was silence in the living room for a while, Li Piaoran laughed, turned around and walked out: "What my general said is right, even if you are half angry with you, you don't dare to do anything." Because you are afraid, afraid that you will annoy Yanyunzhai by killing me, so that you will invite the disaster of slaughtering the city. ”
Li Piaoran paused and looked back at Wu Xingzhi and said with a smile: "You officials, you all think you are very smart, but in fact, you are just a group of idiots. ”
He pointed at Wu Xingzhi's nose and said, "I came to deliberately entertain you today, do you think it's so easy to supply food and grass to the right guard?" The reason why you say that you are an idiot is because you think that killing me will annoy my general and cause trouble, but don't you want to think about it, if my general wants to take Yuncheng, do you need to spend this effort to find an excuse? ”
"Do you need it?"
Three words, like thunder.
Li Piaoran smiled: "Farewell, don't send it." ”
Wu Xingzhi's face was pale, and he trembled with anger. It's just that he also understands one thing, if the thieves of Yanyunzhai want to capture Yuncheng, where do they need to use any excuse? They're thieves, how can I forget they're thieves?
……
……
"How's that okay?"
Wu Xingzhi paced back and forth in the study, irritable and eager to hit his head against the wall, he frowned and made a bitter face, and his steps were very hurried. Zhang Sanheng sat on the chair on the side, and was even more irritated by Wu Xingzhi's back and forth. He didn't expect that Ju Yeze's thieves would be rampant to this point, and they blatantly went to the county guard mansion in order to humiliate Wu Xingzhi. Aren't these thieves afraid that they will all be killed in the city? Dare to do such crazy things in order to humiliate people, no wonder people say that there is no normal anti-thief.
"The thieves in Yanyunzhai will definitely not give up this time, you say, what else will you use to block the appetite of those thieves this time? You and I calculated a lot, why did you forget this? ”
"Lord Wu, don't worry, the thieves in Yanyunzhai are just asking for money, don't worry, they won't do anything wrong. Dongping County is still there, and he finds an excuse to blackmail him every other day, but if he is forced to be in a hurry, he can't get anything. ”
"Give it again?"
Wu Xingzhi said angrily: "Pei Shisheng and those people are not fools, how can they take out silver again?" ”
"Just because he's not a fool."
Zhang Sanheng said confidently: "He knows what the surname of those thieves is, if they don't pay the money, they can only be a dead end." If they don't want to pay for it, I have a way, I'm afraid that Lord Fujun won't agree......"
Just when he was discussing countermeasures with Wu Xingzhi, Pei Shisheng's mansion was also brightly lit, and many wealthy family heads in Yuncheng came to visit, and they were also discussing the second attack of Yanyunzhai.
"It's not the way to go on like this!"
One of them said: "Those heroes in Yanyunzhai come once, and Lord Fujun will let us donate once, how many families are not enough to squander like this, and no one has a cornucopia at home!" ”
Pei Shisheng was also irritable, so he didn't notice that the man didn't use the word thief when he spoke, but used the word hero.
"It's like, why do we pay for it every time?"
"Speaking of which, Lord Fujun's family has a fortune of 100,000 yuan, and he doesn't have a share in the peace of Yuncheng?"
"Shhhh Be quiet. ”
"What are you afraid of! Isn't it just an official, now in the world of the Great Sui, the official is not as good as the rebellious rebel army is benevolent and righteous, and he is really going to force Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu donated all his wealth to the heroes of Yanyun Village, and he can't say that he has to give me a master to do. If it goes on like this, not only will we not be able to get any benefits, sooner or later we will all be squeezed clean, not to mention the heroes of Yanyunzhai at that time, I'm afraid that the first one to do it is him Lord Wu! ”
Pei Shisheng sighed and said: "Everyone, you are all calm, in my opinion, let's wait, it is said that the people and horses of Yanyunzhai came to kill this time because Dongping County supplied grain and grass for the right guard, this matter was ordered by Lord Fujun, he should also be thinking of a way." ”
"Method!"
"His solution is not to make us pay for it!"
"Brother Pei, we are all here today, isn't it because you are highly respected? You can't just be perfunctory with us, speaking of which, last time Brother Pei, you alone gave 30,000 pieces of meat, and he Wu Xingzhi didn't pretend to be deaf and dumb, and he didn't even mention a word of thanks. ”
"I heard that Wu Xingzhi recently got in touch with Pei Ju, so he doesn't take us seriously."
Pei Shisheng sighed, a little surprised that these gentry who would never say such rebellious words in ordinary times were so arrogant today. These guys don't have the courage to say such things one by one, and they are far from being at the point of putting their hearts together, who knows if these words will reach the ears of Lord Fujun tomorrow? But what's wrong with this today, how can they all be so abnormal one by one?
"If, let's open the city to welcome the people of Yanyun Village in?"
Some people even more boldly imagined: "Thinking of our merits, will we not touch our family property?" ”
"Self-respect!"
Pei Shisheng said slightly angrily: "They are thieves!" Have you ever seen a thief reasoning? If there is such a rebellious word, it is better not to talk nonsense in the future. ”
"Thief?"
At this time, the person who had been sitting in the corner of the room and had not spoken suddenly sneered: "In the world of the Great Sui now, officials are more vicious than thieves, and thieves are more benevolent and righteous than officials!" Tell me about it, have the people of Yanyunzhai harmed the people in the past year or so? Have you ever killed innocent people indiscriminately? It's Wu Xingzhi, who has done a lot of things for the people over the years. I heard that Brother Pei has always been quite famous, and he often helps the poor people, haven't you seen this officialdom thoroughly enough? ”
"Who are you!"
Pei Shisheng frowned and asked.
This person came with the rich gentry, Pei Shisheng was worried at that time, so he didn't pay attention, but he felt that this person was a little faced, and after coming in, this person kept sitting with his head down, without saying a word, and then he opened his mouth to speak Pei Shisheng noticed him.
"Me?"
The man looked up and smiled, pulling the beard off his chin: "Didn't we just meet during the day?" ”
"Li Piaoran!"
Pei Shisheng said in a panic.
"Good to remember last name!"
Li Piaoran smiled: "I have already talked to them, and now there is only you left, Brother Pei." Everyone agreed to my proposal, so I came to the house to bother me today. ”
"What proposal?"
Pei Shisheng asked in horror.
"I don't know if Brother Pei is interested in being the parent official of Dongping County?"
