In the middle of the matter, a short mule came forward to report that the little tiger had woken up, was clamoring to see the princess, and had wounded a dozen brothers.

Murong Xiaosui said that Zhang Hanwen's bad deeds were very energetic, and he was suddenly interrupted by this bad thing, which was very unhappy.

"Oh, bring him here." Murong also took advantage of this moment to drink saliva and moisten his throat.

A group of people brought Zhang Xiaohu up, and as soon as the two of them met, they almost fought again without two or three words, but fortunately, Zhu Wanqing stopped Xiaohu in time.

"Xiaohu, you listen to this Murong Gongzi first, at the moment, rescuing the 100,000 victims of Langcheng is the top priority." Zhu Wanqing gave Xiaohu a look, meaning that you must listen to me.

Xiaohu nodded and was silent.

"That Zhang Hanwen not only swallowed up the disaster relief funds of the imperial court, but also ordered the city gate guards not to let the victims enter the city, and the soup kitchen was opened on the street in the city, which is not clear if it is a perfunctory thing!" Murong Xiaosui said indignantly.

"Nonsense, my uncle wouldn't do that, you spew blood." As soon as Zhang Xiaohu heard that Murong Xiaosui was talking about his uncle Zhang Hanwen, he couldn't hold back anymore.

"Oh? Your boy is still a relative of the dog official, and if it weren't for the princess's sake, I would have unloaded your arms today. Murong Xiaosui glared at Xiaohu, and Xiaohu was stunned by his momentum.

"Princess, this man was a murderer before, and his words cannot be trusted." Xiaohu turned to pressure the princess.

Zhu Wanqing can see that she can't fully believe the words of these two people, but judging from the current situation, if you want to save everyone's lives, you have to follow Murong first, who let Xiaohu brag so much, and he can't withstand the three moves of others in actual combat.

"I think, Lord Zhang is as you said, right now you two are fighting around, even if you fight for a result, it doesn't make much sense, let's talk about how to help the disaster victims." Zhu Wanqing turned over the stubble for the time being.

"The method is very simple, we take the princess as a hostage and blackmail the court to open a warehouse and release grain." As soon as Murong said this, Zhu Wanqing was stunned.

What the? This is what you call a trick? Although I am a princess, I am just a little transparent, will the court care about me? Maybe you will also ask who Princess Lingyang is.

But then again, if Zhang Hanwen is really greedy, he will definitely spit out the money for me, so why not take the opportunity to test it.

Thinking of this, Zhu Wanqing could only pretend to praise and said, "Murong Gongzi is a good plan. ”

It was the first time that Murong Xiaosui had been called Murong Gongzi, and the other party was a princess, so she couldn't help but flutter.

Zhang Xiaohu knew that he couldn't beat this Murong Xiaosui, so he had to swallow his anger for the time being.

A group of people in Hongyan Village carried the princess to the direction of Langcheng, and the number of victims who died of starvation along the road was thirty percent more than in the previous days.

Murong Xiaosui sent two messengers to report to Zhang Hanwen, saying that the princess is in our hands, you should hurry up and prepare for negotiations.

Zhang Hanwen was shocked when he received the letter, and on the one hand he informed Yao Bingyong in Beijing, and on the other hand raised money and food as a ransom.

The two sides agreed to meet two days later at Pozi Bridge, fifteen miles north of Langcheng.

......

On the day of the negotiation, Zhu Wanqing was symbolically tied with hemp rope and her mouth was sealed. Murong said that it was to add to the realistic effect.

The people in Hongyan Village are not all reckless, and some people suggested that the people should be divided into two ways, with Murong taking one way to negotiate and the other way to respond, so as not to sneak attack and play tricks around the official army.

Zhang Hanwen didn't have time to ask Shangfeng to transfer Qingzhou Wei, so he could only scrape together more than 100 yamen rice buckets to strengthen his momentum, that's right, it was the gang of people who saw the thieves peeing their pants before, or they.

The Pozi Bridge is located on an eight-zhang wide river, and the choice of this place as the negotiation site is actually for security reasons, after all, neither side is actually willing to fight.

There are more than 200 people in Hongyanzhai here, but there are only about 100 people in the official mansion, and they are still those familiar faces who pee their pants, and they almost say hello when they meet.

Murong Xiaosui pulled Zhu Wanqing in front of him and said loudly: "Dog official, do you see, this is your princess Lingyang, now in my hands, within three days, you can open the porridge shop outside the city to let the victims eat their stomachs, otherwise we will take some parts from the body of Her Royal Highness this princess." ”

As he spoke, Murong took out a small dagger and pulled it on Zhu Wanqing's neck with the unbladed end.

Zhang Hanwen was distressed when he saw it: "Stop it, Zhang Hanwen will do it, don't hurt the princess!" ”

Zhu Wanqing was a little happy when she saw this, this guy was anxious and distressed, and it was quite cute.

"Also, how much disaster relief money and food you and your subordinates have embezzled, all of them will be spit out by Lao Tzu, and after seven days, you will send someone to Hongyan Village, the amount shall not be less than 10,000 taels, otherwise, the princess's life will not be guaranteed." Murong saw that this trick really worked, so he simply got it in one step.

"Hero, I'm already driving ducks to the shelves to open a porridge shop, and you still need 10,000 taels of silver, I really don't have it." Zhang Hanwen asked the squires and his subordinates before they borrowed only one hundred taels of silver as a ransom, and now Murong opened his mouth to say 10,000 taels, doesn't this force him to death.

"What? One of you princesses is not worth 10,000 taels? surnamed Zhang, the princess died in the realm under your control, you can't eat and walk around. "Murong didn't believe that this prefect couldn't come up with 10,000 taels.

"Or you kill me, I'll change the princess, ask for money, I don't have any more, that's all!" Zhang Hanwen didn't know where he got the courage, so he walked to the other side of the bridge with a hundred taels of silver in his hand.

Murong Xiaosui also never expected this scene to appear, and he didn't know how to continue talking for a while.

"I think, he really doesn't have any money, otherwise he wouldn't be like this, believe me." Zhu Wanqing whispered to Murong.

"Stop me, don't come!" Murong hadn't figured out what to do, so he asked Zhang Hanwen to stand on the bridge and wait first.

Several leaders gathered together to discuss countermeasures, and some said that Zhang Hanwen was crying poor and wanted to continue to exert pressure. Some said that they simply robbed Zhang Hanwen and led the troops into Langcheng to claim the king directly.

Anyway, none of the people in this group were reliable, and Murong was tired of listening to it, so he simply turned around and asked for Zhu Wanqing's opinion.

Zhu Wanqing said: "Master Zhang and I have a very good personal relationship, but as long as he has a silver tael, he will not hide it at this moment. He's going to do whatever he can to save me, I'm sure of that. ”

When Murong heard this, he couldn't help but feel jealous, how could anyone have a leg with that dog official.

"Master Zhang must have his difficulties, I think it's better to think long-term." Zhu Wanqing's implication is that you can accept it when you see it, don't be too aggressive, lest the conversation collapse.

Murong Xiaosui didn't care, but he was even more interested, didn't you say that Zhang Hanwen had a good personal relationship with you? I'll let you see how many catties and taels Zhu Wanqing has in his heart.

"Zhang Hanwen! Within five days, there were no 10,000 taels, and the woman's head fell to the ground, withdraw! Murong laughed out loud and walked away, leaving Zhang Hanwen with a loveless face.
