Changping, as a pioneer, led 200 people to arrive at the gate of Shizhou City and called the door under the city.

The inspector reported the news to the government office, Wu Yingde was about to die, and Tongzhi Zhang Huai and Liu Rengui came over with men and horses, and there was a tendency to gather the city and defend it.

Wu Santian took the lead in shouting: "Commander Chang, you are Dongwei, managing Gan and Liang security, and when you come to my Shizhou, have you crossed the line?" ”

Changping was speechless, and Chen Yuan replied loudly: "Wu Santian, you have no official position, when will it be your turn to speak in Shizhou." ”

Wu Santian sneered: "Chen Yuan, I also know that you are just a white body, what qualifications do you have?" Commander Chang, you also heard that the seal of Lord Qincha was lost, and it was this thief, and he didn't take it yet. He wanted to bite back.

Chen Yuan smiled and said loudly: "Shizhou fathers and villagers, the superintendent of the imperial history Kuang Kuang, was appointed by the imperial court as the deputy envoy of Shaanxi, went to Shizhou to inspect, and assessed the officials to cut the corruption and check the injustice, I am Jiangning Chen Yuan, at the behest of the emperor, I will accompany the errand." Yin Wu Yingde and Zhizhou Zhang Huai of Shizhou Prefecture deceived the superiors and subordinates, and preyed on the people, so they immediately took it down and reviewed the crime. ”

The people outside the city were stunned, they all dreamed that the sky would descend on the blue sky, the lord is really here now, and he was ready to break the net and rebel, and his heart was suddenly full of hope, and the cheers gradually sounded: "Lord Qincha, you must be the master for us-"

"My lord, catch Zhang Huai-"

"My lord, dismiss Wu Yingde—"

"Hahahaha-" Zhang Huai, who had been silent, suddenly laughed, "What's the use of what you say, what is Qincha, what is this Shizhou, you should still be Nanjing City, a piece of order, the world surrenders to tell you, this Shizhou is thousands of miles away, I have been operating with Lord Wu for many years, no matter how big an official you are, when you arrive in Shizhou Mansion, you have to stand aside for me!" Money, soldiers, and strength, that's everything! A few of you are looking for death by yourself, and a few of you want to break into my Shizhou, are they all soft persimmons, let you handle them? ”

Zhang Huaiyin said: "Come on, Chen Yuan stole the official seal of the Qincha, intending to disturb Shizhou and commit rebellion, come, take him to me." ”

"Yes!" Shizhou Catcher roared, opened the city gate, and rushed towards Chen Yuan like a wolf.

"Who dare?" Changping had a handstand, Cang Chang pulled out his knife, and Fan Zhong, who had bandaged his wounds, also stepped forward with a spear.

Changping's subordinates drew their swords one after another and waited for battle.

Liu Rengui, who had been watching coldly, separated the crowd, rode out of the horse, and sneered: "Yo, Changping, a little lieutenant general, he also dares to show off his might in front of us, what about your family." ”

As he was talking, the follow-up troops led by Wu Cheng arrived, the dust was billowing, and the officers and soldiers in the city were afraid. Some of them retreated in horror, Wu Santian was the smartest, seeing them menacing, he was afraid that he had prepared for it and was thinking about what to do.

"Lord Liu, Xiaguan Wu Cheng, be polite." Wu Cheng gave a military salute.

Liu Rengui shouted angrily: "Wu Cheng, you are in Gan, Liang, I am in Datong, each performing its own duties, now I am working together to control the chaotic people in Shizhou, everyone does not violate the river water, are you trying to provoke our Datong army?" ”

Wu Cheng knew it in his heart, but he didn't care and said: "Don't dare, Lord Liu, you and I are both soldiers, how about letting them handle the affairs of their yamen?" ”

"If we want to see Chincha-sama, we want to meet Chincha-sama." The people began to cry out.

Liu Rengui snorted: "Naturally. "It means that as long as Wu Cheng doesn't do it, he won't do it either.

Seeing that they were standing still, Zhang Huai smiled and waved his hand: "All the officers and soldiers obey the order, and order you to take down Chen Yuan!" If anyone dares to stop the errand official from handling the case, there will be no forgiveness! If you want to see Lord Chincha, go to the government office, Lord Chincha is waiting. ”

"Who would dare to do it?" Fan Zhong's eyes widened, and he roared, and a few catchers didn't dare to step forward.

Wu Cheng also waved his hand and lined up his troops.

"Wu Cheng, what do you mean by this?" Liu Rengui shouted.

Wu Cheng smiled and said, "My lord, the lower official is doing things according to his orders, and he has offended." With that, he ordered his retinue to take out the golden decree.

Liu Rengui's face changed.

"Holy decree, order Dongwei Qianhu Wu Cheng, cooperate to verify the situation of the people in Shizhou, if it is a civil unrest, suppress it immediately, if someone is greedy for ink, fish and flesh people, arrest in a hurry, and wait for the fate!"

Zhang Huai laughed: "Wu Qianhu, just a holy decree, what does it mean, look at it, there is civil unrest everywhere, who is greedy for ink, who is greedy for the people, is there any evidence?" ”

Looking at his expression, he must have done it unconsciously, of course, he still has a backer in his heart, so he has no fear.

Chen Yuan smiled and said: "Evidence, Master Zhang, if people don't know, unless you don't do it, do you think that the entire Shizhou officials will follow you to do this unconscionable thing, how many people have prepared two account books, and you and their letters." And—" he shouted angrily, "and the thousands of people in Shizhou, is it considered evidence." ”

Zhang Huai's face changed greatly: "What's the use of having an account book?" What if it's not a heart, they all have a handle in my hands, and now Shizhou is the official who has the final say! Come on, don't take Chen Yuan yet. ”

Chen Yuan shouted: "General Liu, if you move troops without authorization, at most you will be demoted and punished for disobeying the holy decree, how many of you can be punished by the Nine Clans?"

Liu Rengui and his subordinates were terrified when they heard this, they all knew that Zhu Yuanzhang's father and son were ruthless, killing people without blinking, and over the years, Zhu Di's killing of Fang Xiaoru's ten clans was still a nightmare for many people.

Zhang Huai's eyes were blood-red, and he suddenly shouted: "The officials and soldiers of Shizhou Mansion obeyed the order, Chen Yuan stole the official seal, disturbed the people of the state, and immediately captured him, life and death are not limited!" If you can kill him, the official will reward him with a thousand taels of silver! ”

There must be brave men under the so-called heavy reward, these Shizhou soldiers have lived under his coercion for a long time, and they are already a little afraid of him.

Changping said: "A thousand taels of silver, then you must also be blessed!" Attacking the imperial court and aiding the abuse, don't you all want to live? ”

"Whoa", but it was Master Zhang who pulled out the sword on his body and said fiercely: "Brothers, don't forget the silver you have received!" This official tells you that this Chen Yuan and Kuang Yu were sent by the emperor to rectify Shizhou! If you don't kill him, no one will be able to escape death! ”

This Zhang Tongzhi is really a ruthless corner, Chen Yuan just divided them, and he tied everyone tightly to the same boat with two sentences, turning it into a situation of both glory and loss. It seems that most of the affairs in Shizhou in the past few years have been decided by him. Wu Yingde is old and has many wives and concubines, so he has long been anxious.

The soldiers of Shizhou obviously also received a lot of benefits from him, and they were coerced and bewitched by him, and their eyes suddenly turned red, and they rushed over brandishing knives and guns: "Kill him!" ”

"Bang Chang" but Liu Rengui led the troops to rush towards them, "Kill!" A terrifying roar rang out all around.

"Liu Rengui, what are you doing? You've forgotten the king, ah-"

Liu Rengui shouted: "Zhang Huai is an official who is unkind and perverse, and has been killed by me on the spot. ”

Liu Rengui was full of military might, and immediately called all the Shizhou sergeants (in fact, most of them were fast catchers and fast hands) to be frightened and weak-legged, they had long been accustomed to the fox and fake tiger might, and if they wanted to use real knives, which was the opponent of the regular army? Listening to Liu Daren's words of killing, who dared to resist, before the male soldiers rushed in front of him, someone had already disarmed, and one person led the way, and in a moment he heard the clanging of knives and guns on the ground, and the cry of holding his head and begging for mercy was very loud.

Wu Santian saw that the situation was not good, so he hugged his head and ran away.
