Chapter Seventy-Two Counting the Qinghe
Ximen Qing is usually kind and angry, and when he is rarely angry, he reprimanded everyone at this time, although all the people present are bold, but they can't help but be terrified.
Seeing that all the generals were prostrate and ashamed, Ximenqing finally sighed and said, "Everyone get up!" I only hope that when you lead the army in the future, think about the military heart in the four words of 'for the heavens', and it is not too late to come to the enemy's plan! ”
Everyone responded in unison: "Follow my brother's teachings!" ”
After the tense air in Shuai's tent relaxed slightly, Luan Tingyu asked: "Since we can't do it, what should our army do?" Is it to be a surprise soldier to rush to Qingzhou to attack the Eighth Route Army, or to return to the division and fight a decisive battle with Naguan Sheng under Liangshanbo? Let the marshal decide! ”
Ximen Qing said leisurely: "Whether it is to rush to Qingzhou, or to return to Liangshan, it is not the best policy!" Wait for me to make a little trick, first take the Daimyo's mansion, and then capture Liang Zhongshu alive! ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone was surprised and delighted, and asked: "It turns out that my brother has already planned to take the famous mansion?" ”
Ximen Qing nodded and said, "I have asked Brother Yanqing to invite a few key people. As soon as these people arrive, they want to get this famous mansion, like soup pouring snow! ”
Everyone was stunned when they heard it - no wonder Yan Qing disappeared without a trace in the past few days, it turned out that he was playing forward for Brother Siquan's clever plan. Thinking that Ximen Qing's plan is not light, and if he comes out, he will be hit, so some people who are in a hurry can't wait to ask: "But I don't know what subtle means my brother is going to make?" ”
Sure enough, as expected, Ximenqing smiled mysteriously, raised his finger and said, "But the secret of heaven cannot be revealed!" ”
In the midst of everyone's lamentation, a little minions who patrolled the wind and scouted the matter suddenly crashed into the tent and reported: "Report - the leader of the West Gate, there is Yan Xiaoyi Brother who leads a group of chariots and horses to wait outside the camp gate!" ”
Ximenqing smiled when he heard this: "Now that the Yanqing brothers have returned, my plan has been completed!" Pass on my general order - order Yan Qing to take the carriage and horses to the back camp to rest quietly, and the idlers and others are not allowed to go to disturb them, and those who dare to offend will be caned; Repeat offenders, beheaded! ”
The little minions took the order to go, but the heroes in the tent were itchy and hard to scratch, you and I pushed down, Jiao Ting came out and begged: "Good brother, please show mercy and reveal the depth of the plan to us!" If you shadow like this again, won't you suffocate people? ”
Ximen Qing said with a smile: "The brothers of the family should be restless, and when Brother Yanqing comes back to hand over the order, it will naturally understand." ”
The curiosity of the heroes was tormented for a while, and Yan Qing finally came in. Ximen Qing smiled and said, "Brother Yanqing has worked hard! ”
Yan Qing also saluted: "If you have to be entrusted with confidential matters by the prince of Sanqi, it will be harder, and it will be unbelievable!" The kid is not talented, this trip was fortunately not disgraced, and he even got an extra color, and dedicated it to Brother Ximenqing! As he spoke, he held a brocade box aloft.
All the heroes said: "But I don't know what kind of treasure it is?" "I scrambled to open it and saw that it was a human head with a distorted face! The human head was covered with lime and surrounded by ice musk, so it did not rot, although it was cut down for a long time, and it came to life.
Bao Xu, the god of mourning, said disappointedly: "Brother Yanqing, what kind of color is this kind of pickled goods?" Let's rejoice in the air! ”
Ximenqing pointed to the head and asked, "Who is this guy?" ”
Yan Qing said: "This is the great eunuch sent by the imperial court to Hebei to come to Kuotian, surnamed Li Mingyan. After this guy came here, he set up camp in Qinghe, looted the people's land for public land, burned the people's old coupons, and made the land rent, from the north of the Qinghe River, the people were not able to make a living, and the people dared to complain about the complainant, and they were killed by their canes at every turn, and the accumulation has so far, not to mention more than 1,000 lives! ”
Jiao Ting was stunned and said, "Qinghe? Isn't it the hometown of Brother Siquan? ”
Yan Qing nodded and said, "Exactly!" ”
Jiao Ting was furious, and spit on his head: "I dare to make trouble in my brother's township, I really don't know how to write dead words!" I only hate that the news is too late, and I can't cut you with a thousand knives with my own hands! When all the good men in the tent heard this, they were all angry.
Ximen Qingxin said: "Li Yan? Wasn't that one of the 'six thieves' who became infamous later? Why did you die in Qinghe before the time came? ”
So he frowned and asked, "Shouldn't this Li Yan go to Ruzhou?" How did you get to Qinghe? ”
Yan Qing replied: "Brother Ximenqing's fame shocked the world, and even Li Yan knew about it, so he came to Qinghe through this trip to Kutian, and detained all the people who had been involved with his brother in the past, and made a list according to his family background to ask for money to buy his life. How many people break the house at one time? Even the eunuch's house was not spared - there were two people, Xia Longxi and Zhou Xiu, who were sentenced to prison, and Xia Tixing was arrested by Li Yan, tortured in every way, and died in prison; Zhou Xiu was also locked up, extorted a lot of money, and his life hung by a thread. When the younger brother went to Qinghe, it happened that Xia Chengen, the son of Xia Tixing, was in his youth, and contacted Zhou Xiu's henchmen, wanting to assassinate Li Yan and take revenge and save people. This kind of eunuch thief is slaughtered by thousands of people, and heaven and earth know it, and it is not a crime, so the younger brother helped them and stored Li Yan's head in this brocade box, and specially dedicated it to Brother Ximenqing to dissipate his anger! ”
Ximen Qing sighed: "Xia Ti Xing and Zhou Shoubei are my old people, but I didn't expect Xia Ti to be an official and die in the hands of eunuchs; What about Zhou Xiu and Zhou Nanxuan? Can it be saved? ”
Yan Qing said: "After killing Li Yan, he naturally rescued Zhou Shoubei. This Zhou garrison is also a happy one, he doesn't do anything, he orders his soldiers and horses to catch all Li Yan's minions, and the crossroads are clean, and the people of Qinghe are blocked, and they are all happy. He had done such an earth-shattering thing, and he was desperate, so he brought the son of Xia Tixing and came here to ask his brother to take him in. ”
Ximen Qing hurriedly asked, "Where are the two?" ”
Yan Qing said: "I am waiting outside the tent, and I don't dare to trespass without my life." ”
Ximenqing hurriedly took it out. Zhou Xiu led Xia Chengen to the ground, crying silently. Ximenqing stretched out his hand and hugged each other, and said compassionately: "My hometown has suffered this catastrophe, causing people to part, and bankrupting their families, all of which are my sins!" ”
Zhou Xiu shook his head and said, "But it's none of your business!" Today, I know how powerful the eunuchs in the court despise the county and enslave the generals! Now that the villain has killed Li Yan and the thieves, it is intolerable in the world, and he has no owner, if he doesn't take him in, there is only one word 'death' left! Please be merciful, let us have a place to breathe, and may we repay with death! ”
Xia Chengen, the son of Xia Tixing, also cried: "Please have mercy on my uncle!" ”
Ximenqing said gently: "The people in the countryside are poor and come to vote, how can Ximenqing have a reason to close the door?" The two of them quickly got up and spoke. ”
Zhou Xiuwei got up resignedly, and praised again and again.
Ximen Qing saw that he was full of the old officialdom's servile and humble habits, so he instructed: "Brother Nanxuan, I know that you were trapped in the corrupt officialdom in the past, if you don't make all kinds of servant images, then the official will not be able to last a day." But today, since he is forced to go to Liangshan, it is an opportunity to be a man again, and all the bad habits of the past have been changed, and he will be a man with his head held high from now on! If not, none of the good men on Liangshan can afford you, so what's the interest? ”
Zhou Xiu's body was shocked, and the sound should be. He has been immersed in officialdom for most of his life, observing words and feelings, attaching to the trend, flattering and bullying, and pretending to be powerful...... This kind of reaction has almost become his instinct to act. Now once it is explicitly corrected, I am stunned for a while, and I don't know how to act.
Ximen Qing didn't disturb him, let him think about it himself, and turned his head to pull Xia Chengen to speak. When he was in Qinghe County, he opened his mouth and said that this little brother Xia was a disciple of the twenty-eight Jiaomu Jiao Xingjun, but Xia Chengen believed it to be true, and since then he has been practicing martial arts hard, and he has been quite skilled today. Ximen Qing relieved him a few words, and asked a few words of boxing, listening to Xia Chengen's reasonableness, he was quite relieved.
nodded immediately and said: "Brother Longxi has a son like this, and Jiuquan should also be blinded!" In the future, you will fight by my side, and fight a clear and peaceful shijie for the people of the world, and your father should rejoice in the spirit of heaven! ”
Xia Chengen bowed again: "It was originally for my uncle to serve dogs and horses!" ”
Ximenqing smiled bitterly when he heard this, and secretly thought: "How can I say that I am the same as the capitalists of the Celestial Empire who have grown into exploitation after reading "Capital"? ”
At that moment, Zhou Xiuxia and Chengsi were pulled, and they were introduced to all the heroes of Liangshan, and alcohol was forbidden in the army, and only a casual banquet was set up to catch the wind.
Asked about Li Dafu from Qinghe Zhixian County, Zhou Xiu said: "Brother Gongji's three-year term in Qinghe has expired, and he has been transferred to Shu to serve as an official. Fortunately, he left here, otherwise when he crashed into Li Yan's hands this time, he would have died for life! When all the heroes heard this, they all nodded.
Looking at Ximen Qing's face, Zhou Xiu said cautiously: "Li Yan's family has done a lot of sins in Qinghe, and there are even people who destroy the family. The old man He and his son in front of the county yamen practiced medicine for two lives, and Li Yan gave his family 200,000 yuan to buy his life, but the father and son of the He family couldn't take it out, and they were both killed under the cane......"
Thinking of the past, Ximen Qing sighed. Zhou Xiu said hesitantly: "...... and Junzhi's two wives and brothers, who were also arrested by Li Yanmanmen...... After repeated searches, they all died......"
Ximenqing was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that he still had two relatives, Uncle Wu and Second Uncle Wu. When he crossed over, he was running into the two brothers of the Wu family who did not recognize their relatives for money and forced Yueniang, so he subconsciously disliked these two brothers-in-law, and when he heard the news of their deaths, although he was shocked, he didn't feel too much sadness, just thought: "If Yueniang knows, I'm afraid she will cry!" ”
Suddenly remembered something in his heart, and hurriedly asked, "But I don't know what happened to my former neighbor Hanako's virtual family?" ”
Zhou Xiudao: "Fortunately, then Li Yan heard that the four brothers of the Hua family were the nephews of the Hua eunuch, and he read the incense of the same line in the palace, so he didn't put their whole family in prison, but just kidnapped the four brothers of the Hua family at the top gate." The eldest Huaziyou, the third Huaziguang, and the fourth Huazihua are all ruined, only the second Huazi is a weak individual, and he was frightened, and he was sick and whimpered in prison, leaving behind the beautiful wife Li Bei'er who is like a flower at home, no children, no daughters, no support, if it weren't for that Li Yan is a eunuch, I'm afraid of the widow's door, and from then on there will be more right and wrong! ”
Ximenqing turned his head and asked Yan Qing: "Brother Yan Qing, Hua Zixu's widow, can you pick it up?" ”
Yan Qing said: "Although the carriage and horses are hard, their spirits are still strong. ”
Ximenqing nodded and said angrily: "In today's world, birds, beasts, jackals and wolves are eating everything, and the suffering of the people is everywhere. Although Li Yan was ambushed in Qinghe, there was still a Cai demon woman in the Daimyo Mansion who was evil-let me use my means to capture this group of demon clowns, so as to take advantage of the wishes of the people of the world! ”
When the heroes heard this, their spirits were greatly lifted. This is exactly what it is:
Unleash earth-shaking hands to catch Xingfeng as a Lang demon. But I don't know what will happen next, and listen to the next breakdown.
