Fang Shoudi was a pure literati, he was born as a Jinshi in the 41st year of Wanli (1613), and was the same year as Zhou Tingru, the current scholar of the Ministry of Rites and a scholar of Wenyuange University. Although it is not as famous as Zhou Tingru's champion and the first prince, it can be regarded as a dignified Jinshi, but Zhou Tingru is now thriving, but he can only be a prefect in one place, in fact, this is also related to his somewhat radical and inflexible surname.

Fang Shoudi is a typical person who admits death, he has always believed that literati should take Anbang as their own responsibility, and those vulgar warriors should be born a head lower than literati, even if this warrior is a second-class warrior.

Although he had already received the news of the arrival of the Qingzhou army, he was not ready to kill pigs and sheep and take out grain and silver taels to reward the army from afar, the reason was very simple, because it was the army from Shandong, and it was Pang Gang who led the team.

Emperor Chongzhen didn't want to see Pang Gang, this news was not a secret for a long time, everyone in the officialdom knew it, and Fang Shoudi, as the prefect, was naturally no exception. In Fang Shoudi's opinion, now that Duke Jie and Governor Li can go to Qingzhou to invite you in person, and let you send troops to serve the imperial court, it is already your ancestral tomb that is smoking, if this mansion carries pigs and sheep and beats gongs and drums to reward you, you must also have that blessing? What's more, you are still a dying person who has already been blacklisted by the emperor, so he intentionally or unintentionally revealed his inner emotions when he saw the ceremony.

But this prefect didn't think that he could be blacklisted by the emperor, and he was still in the limelight, and he could let the former military department Shangshu and the governor of a province personally do ideological work, could he, a small prefect, be lazy? Therefore, it is not unusual for Fang Shoudi to be strongly counterattacked.

Fang Shoudi slowly straightened up, looking at Pang Gang with a sneer on his face in front of him and the surrounding officials who were looking at him with strange faces, he only felt a strong sense of humiliation surging from the bottom of his heart.

"Pang Gangpifu dares to insult me like this!"

Fang Shoudi's mind was only left with a strong sense of humiliation at the moment, and under the shame, he said something that even he regretted afterwards.

"It's naturally hard for a huge number of people to come from afar, so please rest first after you set up camp. Xiaguan came to welcome Jieru Gong Yu Li into the city to rest, and Xiaguan now took his leave. After speaking, Fang Shoudi turned around and bowed to Lu Weiqi and Li Xianfeng and said, "Please enter the city to rest, and the lower officials will prepare a table of thin wine for the two of them!" ”

There was silence in the audience, and only the sound of a strong wind blowing could be heard all around.

Lu Weiqi and Li Xianfeng grew their mouths, their eyes widened like copper bells, and they couldn't believe that this kind of stupid words without any technical content actually came out of the mouth of the fourth-grade official of the imperial court in front of them, the prefect of a place.

Pang Gang smiled, but the smile made people feel very cold, at this time his anger had been completely hooked, Nima's, you should invite your boss to drink, but you have left Lao Tzu, the main master, all over again, are you humiliating me?

Lu Weiqi and Li Xianfeng also smiled, but their smiles were very bitter, especially Li Xianfeng, he never dreamed that there would be such a strange thing under his command, and even the most basic face fell. Aren't you inviting me and Jie Rugong to drink now, you are roasting the two of us on the fire, but we have worked hard to invite life-saving guests, but you want to take us to leave the guests to drink by ourselves, don't you want us to look good?

At this time, Li Xianfeng, who originally wanted to protect his subordinates, couldn't be silent anymore, and shouted loudly: "Governor Fang, what are you going to do?" General Pang came from afar, is this how you treat guests? Don't apologize to General Pang quickly! ”

Lu Weiqi on the side also stroked his beard and looked at Fang Shoudi with a calm face, this Wei Hui prefect is too uninteresting, doesn't he even have basic eyesight? Lu Weiqi was very strange at the moment, he didn't understand how such a strange person became the prefect of a place.

Although there was pressure from Shangguan, Fang Shoudi still stiffened his neck and said: "Xiaguan doesn't know what he is wrong, why do you want to apologize to the huge man?" ”

"You!" Li Xianfeng rolled his eyes when he was on the top.

"Hehe, no need!" A cold voice sounded, and Pang Gang said with a cold face: "Lord Li, since the prefect of Fang doesn't look down on this vulgar martial artist, you don't have to force others, it's okay, it's just a meal, although the official is poor, but it is not missing a meal, your kindness is understood by the official, but according to the rules, the army is open, and the place should always show a little heart, but why didn't I see even a little bit of sincerity in Weihui Mansion?" Didn't Governor Fang think that we owe you, so that you are reluctant to even give up a copper plate? ”

"This"

Li Xianfeng has an impulse to strangle Fang Shoudi at the moment, the army is going through the place, and the local government has the obligation to replenish grain and grass for the army, which is also the regulation of the imperial court.

Lu Weiqi also shook his head secretly, this prefect is too eyeless, it shouldn't be said that he is stupid to read. People come from afar, even if you are stingy and reluctant to spend money, but at least you have to show it, even if you bring a few hundred stones of grain or a dozen pigs, it is okay, how much is a mind, people will not care about you in the face of the old man and Governor Li, but you are good, put on a posture of asking for money and not a life, you should be this group of Qiu Ba and our scholars are talking about the gentleman's hands and mouth!

At this time, Pang Gang's cold voice came: "Okay, don't talk nonsense, the official won't say much, Governor Fang, the official wants to see you send three thousand stones of grain and five hundred pigs tonight, if you can't do it, you can do it yourself,"

"Gotcha, this Qiu Ba is angry!" Li Xianfeng and the two sighed together, and the disgust of the other party guarding the land in their hearts was a little more, do you think this is still thirty years ago, you are a small prefect who wants to wrestle with a general who commands tens of thousands of troops, you just want to die and don't drag the old man.

"Don't you think about it!" Fang Shoudi almost jumped up, and shouted at the top of his throat: "How can Weihui Mansion have so much food for you, even if there is, it won't be given to you group of martial artists!" ”

"Okay, okay, you want to be unreasonable with this official, right?" Pang Gang was almost angry, and shouted: "Shi Bowen! ”

"Yes!"

A young officer walked out, came to Pang Gang and hugged his fists and said, "What do you command?" ”

Pang Gang pointed at Fang Shoudi and shouted: "Arrest him, when Wei Huifu sends three thousand stones of grain and a hundred pigs, let's let him go, if they don't send it, you will chop off one of his fingers for every day of delay!" ”

"Yes!"

Shi Bowen clenched his fists and waved his hand, and two personal soldiers came up from behind, pushed Fang Shoudi to the ground and began to tie him up.

Fang Shoudi, who was pressed to the ground, shouted while struggling violently at first, "Pang Gang, you vulgar martial artist, you have the right to arrest this official, you are such a township chief, the emperor will not let you go!" ”

"Shut up, you idiot!" The pro-soldiers who grabbed Fang Shoudi would not be polite to him, and without saying a word, a few ear scrapers hit him, and the sound of "crackling" made the hearts of the people next to him hairy.

Although Fang Shoudi was still followed by more than 200 servants and soldiers, he had a collective stroke, what kind of joke, in front of him, there were still tens of thousands of fierce and vicious big-headed soldiers, and if he really wanted to rush over, he would have to drown his own people if he spit on them.

In the end, Li Xianfeng couldn't stand it, and when he saw Fang Shoudi, who was pressed to the ground and covered in mud, he was angry and afraid in his heart, not only did he not understand the rules, but he was also angry that Pang Gang didn't give himself face and openly took people in front of him, and what he was afraid of was that Pang Gang would not leave here under this excuse, which was the worst bad news for Luoyang, who was like fighting a fire.

Li Xianfeng sighed, as the governor of Henan, he could no longer pretend to be deaf and dumb. He stood up and said to Pang Gang: "Huge man, this official knows that this matter is the prefect of Fang's mansion, you first dissipate your anger, this official assures you, at the latest tomorrow morning, Wei Hui will definitely send the grain, grass and fat pigs you said, can you look at the thin noodles of the official, put the prefect Fang a yard!" ”

As soon as Pang Gang heard this, this Governor Li personally interceded and took the matter on himself, and he was not easy to save his face, so he snorted lightly and waved his hand at Shi Bowen, and Shi Bowen let go of Fang Shoudi, who had been tied up like a zongzi.

Fang Shoudi, who had just been loosened from the rope, quickly ran back to his camp as soon as he was freed, and scolded loudly, "Pang Gang, you are rude, this official wants to go to the book to join you!" ”

Looking at this well-known prefect Fang, Pang Gang didn't even pay attention to him, and directly arched his hand towards Lu Weiqi and the others, "Master Li, that official is waiting for your good news." ”

After speaking, Pang Gang turned around and ordered all the sergeants to prepare to set up camp, and immediately the 10,000-strong army immediately began to prepare, especially the sergeants of the baggage battalion, who immediately began to get busy.

Li Xianfeng and the two glanced at each other, holding back their anger, Li Xianfeng shouted angrily at Fang Shoudi and other officials of Weihui Mansion who were standing on the side: "What are you still doing in a daze? Don't hurry up and lead the way! ”

After speaking, Li Xianfeng and the others got into the sedan chair prepared for them, and the group quickly disappeared from the sight of Pang Gang and others.

"My lord, can they bring grain and grass?" Cheng Kai, who was behind Pang Gang, asked a little uneasily.

"Don't worry, they'll send it!" Pang Gang replied coldly
