Sure enough, you're a lot greedy!

As soon as this sentence came out, the words were shocked, and several officials around were all stunned, staring at this smiling Lord Qincha with wide eyes, and Lu Guangcheng was also dumbfounded, unable to say a word.

For a while, the entire hall was silent, only the noisy voices of people under the city tower remained, but it made the empty hall even more silent, and even the sound of a needle falling on the ground could be heard.

I don't know how long this silence lasted, but Lu Guangcheng reluctantly smiled: "Hehe, Lord Qincha really likes to joke." ”

Lord Chincha also laughed, stretched out his hand to hug the singer who was originally a little overwhelmed, and said with a smile: "Really? You say, the joke Ben-sama just told was funny? ”

The singer was also a clever one, and hurriedly unfolded a smile like a flower, leaned softly into Qincha's arms, and said, "My lord is really witty. ”

When they said this, everyone laughed too.

With this smile, Lu Guangcheng also breathed a sigh of relief, the words of Lord Qincha just now made him break out in a cold sweat, and at this time he carefully wiped his forehead with his sleeve.

Just when everyone was joking lightly and was about to raise their glasses to drink, Lord Qincha slowly put down the wine glass and said, "Do you know why this official is so witty? ”

Everyone was stunned again, holding their wine glasses and not speaking, just looking at him.

Qin Cha smiled faintly, took out a file from his wide sleeve, glanced around, slowly unfolded, and read: "Lu Guangcheng, the governor of Yangzhou Prefecture, privately occupied thousands of acres of farmland in the south of the city during his tenure, and in order to cover up the crime, you sent officers and soldiers to drive the local people out of the country, and forcibly arrested the villagers who complained about them and tortured them to death. Is there such a thing? ”

When Lu Guangcheng heard this, he was stunned.

Lord Qincha read again: "Yangzhou Mansion Tongzhi Fangye, you have been colluding with black market merchants all year round, smuggling official salt, falsely reporting losses, and seeking personal gains, but there is such a thing!" ”

When Fang Tongzhi heard this, he was also frightened, and he was speechless with his wine glass.

"Yangzhou Mansion Tongzhi Zhang Wenxiang, you privately withheld the tribute of the imperial court, in the first year of Tiansheng, you privately deducted the top of the golden mother crane in the tribute and hid it in the library; In the second year of Jianlong, you privately withheld three boxes of silver hooks for tribute, eight jade horses, and eighteen Arhats, but there was such a thing? ! ”

……

"Yangzhou Mansion garrison Ge Wei, you lied about the number of soldiers and soldiers, and deducted military salaries, but there is such a thing!"

……

"Yangzhou Mansion sentenced Qi Hongyi, in order to occupy a beautiful woman, you actually fabricated charges to frame her husband, seized his property, and put him in prison to torture to death, and the woman was robbed into the house by you, and three days later, she was suspended from the beam, but there is such a thing!?"

……

Every year, the faces of those officials turned pale, and they couldn't have imagined that seven or eight years ago, when they hadn't even colluded with Pei Yuanxiu, the evidence of their crimes was actually recorded, and all of them were in the hands of this unknown Lord Qincha in front of him.

Several of them glanced at each other, and when they saw that the situation was not right, they hurriedly stood up.

But just as these officials were about to get up and shout, the entourage of Lord Qincha, who had been arranged by them to sit in the side hall before, had already prepared and suddenly rushed into the hall.

This sudden change stunned several ministers!

The two guards Ge Wei and Qi Taihua, who have martial arts and are closest to the gate, are the first people to react and rush out, but when the two of them just rushed to the gate, they have already been pounced on by two entourages, and suddenly the four of them punched me and kicked my hands. Although the two garrisons were military generals, they were obviously negligent in training, and their martial arts were not strong, and they were soon defeated in the battle, and one of the entourages became more and more courageous, Ge Wei saw that the situation was inappropriate, so he wanted to turn around and flee, but the guard behind him flew up and kicked him heavily in the back of the head, and he heard a click at the neck bone, and suddenly the whole person was kicked soft, like a broken sack containing rice, and slammed into the door.

And at this moment, there was a bang in the sky outside, and there was a shocking bang, and suddenly bursts of white light came in from outside, shining the hall with swaying candles and flashing, like thunder and lightning.

It's the fireworks of Yangzhou City!

The fireworks flickered, and all the people shouted in unison under the city tower, and in these shouts, those few entourages divided by two, and the two garrisons were restrained, and the other entourages were like dragons and tigers, and it was effortless to restrain those civil servants, so they tied everyone's hands and pressed their heads on the table.

It's just that in an instant, the situation in the hall has changed!

Except for the two guards who were knocked unconscious, Zhizhou and Tongzhi and others were still awake, but they all couldn't believe it, especially Lu Guangcheng, his face was pressed the table and almost deformed, his eyes widened and looked at Qin Cha who was sitting in front of him, without a trace of emotion on his face, and said in a trembling voice: "Lord Qin Cha, what do you mean." Even if you want to punish us, we are all court officials, and you can't touch us without the emperor's decree! ”

"Can't move?"

Hearing this, a sneer curled up at the corner of his mouth, and he turned his head to look at him: "You say, this mansion can't move you?" ”

"Honfu?!"

When Lu Guangcheng heard these two words, he was immediately surprised: "You-you-"

Lord Qincha had already stood up at this time, and the singer who was lying in his arms had already fainted in fright at this moment, curled up at his feet, and Qincha raised his legs and stepped past the singer, walked in front of Lu Guangcheng, looked at him condescendingly, and slowly took out another thing from his sleeve.

It was a bright yellow scroll.

When Lu Guangcheng saw it, his whole person suddenly became limp and motionless.

"The emperor has decreed that this official is appointed as the governor of Yangzhou Prefecture, and the civil and military officials in Yangzhou, regardless of grade, have the right to kill and kill, and they can be cut first and then played!"

“……”

"Lu Guangcheng, do you know that you people have seven that should be killed!"

As soon as his words fell, another firework bloomed in the sky outside, and the dazzling white light shone on his face, his eyes were like torches, and his will was like a knife, which shocked Lu Guangcheng to the point that he was speechless.

Lord Qincha slowly raised his head, held the holy decree in one hand, and said, "Those who encroach on the cultivated fields and oppress the people will be killed!" ”

A firework burst into the night sky with a deafening roar.

An entourage raised the blade in his hand high and swung it towards Lu Guangcheng, and immediately blood splattered three feet, and the head fell to the ground.

Downstairs in the city, all the people shouted.

Holding the holy decree, the Qin Cha stepped down from the main seat, took a step, and read out another sentence: "Whoever sells official salt, disturbs the market, kills!" ”

Another firework bloomed, shining on the earth.

One of the attendants raised the blade in his hand and slashed at Fang Ye's head......

"Those who privately withhold the tribute of the imperial court, kill!"

Another firework bloomed.

One of the attendants raised the blade in his hand and slashed at Zhang Wenxiang's head......

"Those who deduct military salaries, kill!"

The fireworks exploded, and one of the attendants raised his knife and slashed at Ge Wei's head......

"Corrupt and pervert the law, kill!"

The fireworks burst out, and a retinue raised his sword and fell, and blood splattered five steps......

"Those who disturb the people and make trouble, kill!"

The fireworks went off, and another human head fell to the ground......

Every time a sentence was pronounced, a person's head fell to the ground, and when Lord Qincha took the last step, the largest fireworks burst into the night sky, and the bright light illuminated the entire night, and even penetrated the layers of obstacles, shining in his eyes, and the dark eyes flashed countless essences, and he also read the last sentence at the same time-

"Treasonous collaborator, kill!"

……

The last head fell, gurgling and rolling at his feet.

When he turned back again, the entire hall was already splashed with blood, and the blood flowed like a river, and several senior officials of Yangzhou Mansion were still staggering and laughing just now, but they had turned into cold corpses at this moment.

By the time he finished the last sentence, the official who had come to report was so trembling that he couldn't speak, and he fell to his knees trembling.

And I, too, was dumbfounded.

Pei Yuanxiu listened calmly and did not speak, although his expression did not change, his face was clearly much paler than just now, and his eyes became dark.

After being silent for a long time, he said in a deep voice, "Go on." ”

The official kowtowed again and again, as if it was not kowtow, but he was frightened, lying on the ground and trembling constantly, and his voice was trembling, and said: "Lord Lu has always thought that this Qincha is just for show, to rub oil and water, so although the two guards prepared some people, they were not prepared for the banquet, but let them wait under the city tower, so that the Qincha Lord will have a chance." As for the lower officials, the rank of the lower officials could not attend the reception banquet of Lord Qincha, but Lord Lu saw that the lower officials were cautious and asked the lower officials to prepare the dishes in the side hall. In fact, when Lord Qincha said that Lord Lu was 'greedy a lot' and the hall was quiet, those entourages were already ready, but they were afraid that this was the code for them to do it, and when Lord Qincha finished reading the accusations of each adult, those attendants rushed out, and the subordinate took the opportunity to escape. ”

Pei Yuanxiu said calmly: "What about after they killed Lu Guangcheng and a few people? ”

I also looked at the officer with some nervousness.

Indeed, killing these high-ranking officials has a chance to seize power, but in the end, Qin Cha only brought a few retinues, and there are so many soldiers and horses in Yangzhou Mansion, how could they kill a few officials and take them all over at once?

The official said: "After the Lord Qincha killed Lord Lu and a few of them, he searched out the official seal from Lord Lu's body, wrote a warrant, and directly asked one of his entourages to disguise himself as a subordinate of the garrison Lord to open the gate of Yangzhou City, and then-"

When he said this, he didn't dare to say it.

And I also understood that when I opened the city gate, it was natural to let the people of the court in.

Hearing this, I broke out in a cold sweat.

I didn't expect that Yangzhou City would change hands overnight, a messenger, with less than ten people, went deep into the tiger's den, coaxed Lu Guangcheng and them to relax their vigilance, and then suddenly made a mistake on the banquet, and killed them all under the cover of the loud fireworks, and then seized the seal and opened the city gate!

This is definitely not something that ordinary people dare to do!

Pei Yuanxiu's face also sank at this moment, and he asked slowly, "Who is the army that entered the city?" ”

The official said: "Xia Guan doesn't know, Xia Guan in order to escape his life to report to the son, can only mix in the crowd, see the army into the city, but Qiu did not commit any crimes, the leader of the army is alive, I have not seen it, but he is very young, and his appearance is a little like a woman." ”

Wen Fengxi......

As soon as I heard it, I understood.

That is a newcomer cultivated by Pei Yuanhao, who made great contributions to quelling the rebellion in the Juma River Valley, this person is obviously still very useful, and putting him in Jiangnan is naturally the reason why Pei Yuanhao cultivated him in the first place.

Jiangnan really needs a heavy army to defend it.

It's just that this is a military general, what about Wenchen?

By the way, I just heard from this official that Lord Qincha came to take over Yangzhou Mansion at the behest of the emperor, so naturally he is the new leader of Yangzhou Mansion.

This person......

Pei Yuanxiu seemed to think of it with me, there was a slight red shadow in the corners of his eyes, although his expression was still very calm, but his pupils were not calm at all, it was almost a fierce burst of light.

"Who the hell is that Chincha?"

When the official mentioned the Qincha, his voice was still a little trembling, as if the bloody wind and rain of that night frightened him unconsciously, and he said in a trembling voice: "This...... The lower officials also do not know. This Lord Qincha is also very faceless, and Lord Lu has never seen him in the capital at the beginning. It's just—"

"Just what?"

"It's just that the lower officials listened to the entourage of the Qin Messenger and called him - Lord Liu."

With a thud, the dish in my hand fell and shattered at my feet.

I was stunned and looked at the official: "What did you say?" ”

“……”

"Lord Liu?!"
