When Wu Qing was slandering, Aunt Xu's mother and daughter and Wang Xiu walked in with a food box.

Wu Qing smiled: "Aunt Xu, those refugees didn't embarrass you today, right?" ”

Aunt Xu pondered for a moment, and when Wu Qing saw this expression, she chuckled in her heart, it seemed that something bad was wrong.

Aunt Xu put down the food box, frowned, and said: "The three cows in the family were robbed and slaughtered by the refugees, and they only gave a little." ”

Hearing this, Wu Qing almost fainted, and he didn't know what to say for a long time, and then he opened the lid of the food box, only to see three bowls of stewed beef steaming, and the aroma came to his face, Wu Qing took a deep breath and laughed: "It's really fragrant, Di Gong, there is beef to eat today." Wu Qing didn't care about Wang Xiu and Xu Xiaoying's way of swallowing saliva, so he ordered: "Hand this bowl to Di Gong, and this bowl to my mother." Keep this bowl for now. ”

Di Renjie had another opinion on Wu Qing in his heart, but he saw the scene just now, but he didn't expect this child to be a tenacious person, and in an instant, he suppressed that anger and unwillingness in his heart, with such a mind at such an age, it is not simple, it is really a material that can be made, so he smiled: "Hehe, then thank you to the virtuous nephew." ”

Di Renjie was not polite at all, but Wu Qing's heart exploded, three cows, he was reluctant to slaughter them, so he cheapened these chaotic people, and it was a pity that the cow, nearly a month's good feed, saw that it was about to produce milk, but he didn't expect to be killed, a thousand killed chaos. He suddenly remembered a famous saying of the later writer Lu Xun, "Be angry with it, mourn its misfortune." ”

Wu Qing didn't have any anger on his face, and still said with a smile: "Di Gong has caught up with a good time, so don't be so polite." ”

Wu Qing picked up a bowl of rice, and then sandwiched a few pieces of beef and a few green vegetables, and asked Aunt Xu to send them to the old lady Aunt Wu.

Taiyuan Mansion City, which used to be the seat of the state administration, is now the seat of Hedong Province. After arriving in Taiyuan City, Zhang Wenjun, the minister of the Imperial Mission, and Shi Peiyan, the servant of the Imperial Palace, were warmly welcomed by a group of officials such as Changshi Lin Renji and Sima Li Xiaolian.

This time, Zhang Wenqian was the main investigator of the Wenshui rebellion, and Shi Peiyan, the servant, only played a supervisory role, so when Zhang Wenqian entered Taiyuan City, he took down Zhang Yuan, who was still among the hundred officials. He no longer paid attention to the reception banquet held by the officials of Taiyuan Mansion in the Spring Flower Courtyard, and held a court for interrogation in the Governor's Mansion. Because the governor of Taiyuan Prefecture was led by the crown prince Li Hongyao, Changshi Lin Renji was the highest official, so he must also be judged. It's just that Facao Di Renjie is not there, which makes Changshi Lin Renji very angry, although Di Renjie is very famous in Bingzhou, and he is also good to his colleagues, but at this juncture, he can't find himself.

So, Zhang Wenqian and others interrogated Zhang Yuan first, learned about the general situation, and learned that there was a child named Wuqing who had a tendency to rebel, so he fell into deep thought.

In Wenshui, the surname Wu is not the current queen mother Wu clan, but most of the Wu clan has been exiled everywhere over the years, and now there are only a few people in the court. Zhang Wenqian is a famous family of the Zhang family in Qinghe, a descendant of Zhang Liang, a marquis of the Western Han Dynasty, and a scholar of the Ming Dynasty. When the British Duke Li Ji was the governor of the state, Zhang Wenqian assisted Li Ji in handling military and political affairs, so he was quite familiar with the climate of the state.

Therefore, Zhang Wenqian issued an order in the capacity of a messenger to wait for Li Jiping, the general manager of the marching army, to be interrogated by the rebels and rebels, and took this opportunity to inspect the criminal prisons filed in the Changshi Mansion in various counties of Taiyuan Prefecture to see if there were any unjust cases and cases of detention.

Besides, the British Duke Li Ji led the general manager of the march of the East Road of the River to lead 10,000 elite troops to Wenshui, Taiyuan, Li Ji knew that these rebels were refugees from Guannai and other places, and there was no confrontation force, and after the army arrived outside Wenshui County, he directly ordered the siege of the city, and sent a team to block the east and west gates.

When the chaotic people at the head of the city saw the black and oppressive Tang army, they were so frightened that they peed their pants and hurriedly told the leader. When the leaders were still fighting for gold, silver and jewelry, they heard that the Tang army had arrived, and there was a leader named Zhang San, who was originally a gangster in the Guanzhong area, and only took advantage of the chaos to rob a little daughter-in-law, and now he is hiding in a farmer's household, just waiting for the gold, silver and jewelry to run away, and now the treasure has not been divided, and the imperial army is pressing, and now he is not leaving, are he still waiting to be beheaded? So soon, immediately, he was the first to evacuate, and then went to the farmer's house to find the little daughter-in-law he had robbed, ready to take advantage of the chaos to escape.

The people in the city were very happy to hear that the imperial army was attacking the city, and these days, they could be hurt by these rebellious people, and they were eager to kill all the robbers in the pass. The three leaders of the uprising showed worry on their faces, and they didn't care about the small leaders, to be honest, they were the only ones to rely on at this time.

The first leader was a middle-aged man with a rough appearance, raised his horizontal knife and split a square table into two pieces, and said fiercely: "The imperial army is coming, and today we are going to fight to the death, and it will not be in vain in the next life." ”

"Okay, okay, I know you have some martial arts, so let's take the lead and resist in the city for a while, I will discuss a countermeasure with the three leaders, and then we will support you."

So, without saying a word, the middle-aged man went out with a horizontal knife to resist the imperial army. There were two people left in the room.

"Third child, now take these gold and silver treasures, withdraw, let's go our separate ways, if we can escape, let's live incognito, with these treasures, you won't worry about starving for the rest of your life."

"Well, I know, second brother."

So, when the big leader, a middle-aged man, commanded a group of rebels with wooden sticks at the head of the city to desperately resist the besieging officers and troops, the other two leaders took their relatives and relatives to hide in the farmer's house with gold and silver treasures, and coincidentally, the one named "Second Brother" hid in the cellar of Wuqing's family.

In just half an hour, 10,000 troops were slaughtered at the head of the city. For a time, the heads were rolling, blood was shedding, and the rebels were slaughtered in one fell swoop.

Li Ji sighed and said: "These chaotic people are originally the people who fled in the Guan, and if the order goes down, those who surrender will not be killed." ”

The chaotic people in the city were defeated and fled, the officers and soldiers slaughtered fiercely, and there were not a few people who were killed by mistake when they robbed into private houses, and even worse, they forcibly entered private houses to loot property, abducted and abused, and all the bad things they could think of were done. The streets and alleys were filled with blood and tears, and the corpses of the people and the corpses of the chaotic people were mixed together, like hell on earth. In order to take advantage of the opportunity to escape, the rioters set fires everywhere, adding countless charred corpses and countless children crying. After Li Ji entered the city and ordered the beheading of more than 100 soldiers, the chaos could be stopped.

After this war, the people's livelihood in Wenshui County was even more devastation, the rich households were almost looted, the common people were also killed and injured, and at least half of the houses were destroyed.

When Wu Qing and Di Renjie were chatting about current affairs, they were interrupted by the soldiers who came in, and the people who came didn't explain, so they directly escorted Wu Qing and Aunt Wu out.

Di Renjie was furious and said, "Why are you escorting the prisoner like this? ”

The soldier said, "This is an order from Li Guogong, the chief of the marching army. ”

Di Renjie said: "This official is Di Renjie, he is the law of Bingzhou, I was imprisoned here by the rebels, you let me out, this official has something important to report to the governor." ”

The soldier was stunned for a moment, thought for a moment, and then took out the key, opened the cell, and let Di Renzhuo come.
