At noon, Qucheng. An obese man was lying on a rocking chair by the fire, leisurely roasting the fire, Qucheng County Ling Fan Teng. He was originally from Changcheng, and he had been an official in Qucheng for four years, and his favorite thing in the winter in Qucheng was to find a rocking chair, spread a mattress on it, and go up to the fire.

"Lord Fan, someone from outside the city came to see him, claiming to be the messenger of the capital's privy councillor Lang Yi Xiaodao, and there is a letter to be handed over to Lord Fan." A servant rushed to report.

"Privy Counsellor? That's the official position of the previous dynasty, and I haven't heard of any privy councillors in the six hundred years of this dynasty! Let people in first, and I'll see what's written. Fan Teng struggled a few times and didn't get up from the mattress, and the official stepped forward to help him, and then he sat upright.

The messenger walked into the yamen and respectfully handed the letter to the yamen, who handed it to Fan Teng.

"The little one was ordered by the privy councillor Lord Yi, and there was a letter handed to Lord Fan, and Yi Xiaodao still had a word, and he wanted the little one to convey to Lord Fan."

"Lord Yi? Then what does this Lord Yi have to tell the official? Fan Teng was a little curious.

The messenger saluted and said, "If the lord tears or burns the letter after reading it, please go to the east gate and tell the story." With that, the messenger turned to leave, not caring what Fan Teng would do with the letter.

Fan Teng saw that the messenger had a nose and eyes, so he was even more curious, and hurriedly opened the letter and read it: "The privy councillor of the capital, Lang Yi Xiaodao, is fortunate to meet, Lord Fan Teng has lived in Qucheng for a long time, and he should know the human style of Donglu, and he has recently heard that there is a criminal named Qin in Qucheng for two days, and he is detained in prison, I am afraid that there will be unjust, false and wrongful cases, and I also ask Lord Fan to investigate in detail, and do not fail Your Majesty." ”

"What is this written about? It's a mess, it's headless and endless. Fan Teng crumpled the letter into a ball and threw it into the furnace casually. Is there a prisoner in the prison named Qin Liangliang? ”

"Your Excellency... Yes, it was the one who trespassed on the Confucian Gate and was sued by the people of the Confucian Gate to the Yamen..."The official said truthfully.

Fan Teng's heart "chuckled": "Is there a privy man named 'Yi Xiaodao' in the capital?" ”

"Master Fan, you don't know this, how can the little one know?" The officials were in trouble.

Fan Teng looked at the stove and muttered: "Don't panic, it's not that someone is playing with the official, the official can't..."

"My lord, Lord Fan! Something happened! Another official came running in from outside the yamen.

Fan Teng hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" Take your time. ”

"Outside the east gate, there are a lot of bandits!"

"Bandits? How many? ”

"I don't know, I don't know how many people there are, there must be tens of thousands of people."

Fan Teng was so angry that he stretched out his big fat leg and kicked over: "Bastard! Sleepy in broad daylight, right? All the bandits around Qucheng together are only a thousand people, where are tens of thousands? ”

The official was not kicked at all, but he still fell to the ground: "My lord, it's true, I don't lie to you, I don't believe you go to the east gate to have a look!" ”

Fan Teng was so angry that he stood up and was about to fight, but the previous official hurriedly stopped him and said, "My lord, just now the messenger said that if the adult tears or burns it, he will go to the gate of the East City to talk... Could it be..."

Fan Teng paused, and hurriedly ran outside the yamen, but before he could run to the yamen, he couldn't breathe, and hurriedly turned around and beckoned the yamen to prepare the carriage.

On the east gate of Qucheng, Fan Teng panted and climbed onto the city wall: "Where is it?" Where are the bandits? In the winter, Fan Teng actually needed to wipe the fine sweat on his head with a white hand towel.

A call came from under the city wall: "Please also ask Qucheng Fan County to answer the city!" ”

Fan Teng stretched out his head and looked out, half frightened to death, a large area of Wuyang and Wuyang outside the city was full of people. The clothes are also varied, there are leather jackets and broken cotton wool, and there are military armor among them if you look closely!

"It's... It's all... Who are they? Fan Teng trembled as he spoke.

"Please also ask Qucheng Fan County to answer the city!" The city walls shouted again.

"My lord, I call you!" The defender reminded.

Fan Teng's eyes widened: "It's the blind man Wu in the west of the city who saw it here, do you want you to say it!" This... What the hell are they going to do? ”

"I... This officer... This official is the order of Qucheng County... Fan Teng, who are you? Come to Qucheng... Do? Fan Teng also knew that he couldn't hide as the county commander of a city, so he responded boldly.

Yi Xiaodao's eyesight is better than ordinary people, and he recognized Fan Teng from afar in the city, not for others, the fattest and most feared one in the crowd must be him! Corrupt officials are like this, just like Zhang County's order in Wancheng, Yi Xiaodao thought of Zhang Shoucai, and sighed again.

"Master Fan, do you know what the letter says?" Yi Xiaodao sat on the horse and asked in a loud voice.

Fan Teng saw Yi Xiaodao's voice and knew that this was the leader, so he hurriedly shouted: "I committed something in Qin two days... I've checked, trespassing on people's houses... Press... The Great Apocalypse Statute, when imprisoned for a year, this... Yi adult, you can't be wrong! ”

"This Fan Teng is also a talent, in such a short period of time, he will definitely not investigate. Even if you let your subordinates check, the results won't reach him at this time. Yi Xiaodao praised Fan Teng to the people around him.

"What do you mean?" Wei Youming couldn't figure out what Yi Xiaodao meant.

"It must have been thought of on the way here, either I have never forgotten it, or I have memorized people, but I am a talent." Yi Xiaodao praised it.

Yi Xiaodao was still sighing at Fan Teng's memory downstairs, but Fan Teng had no bottom in his heart, why was there no movement in this city? Aren't you discussing how to attack the city?

"Who are you? Where did the heroes come from? There is no food left in the city, so please go elsewhere! Fan Teng said boldly.

Yi Xiaodao shouted: "Please also ask Lord Fan to open the city gate first, and I will wait to enter the city to rest for a while." We are not bandits and robbers, but the officials and soldiers of the Great Apocalypse Court! ”

Fan Teng shrunk his neck, and said secretly in his heart: Fooling the ghost! The officials and soldiers of the imperial court were dressed so variedly and so shabby. These are all court officials and soldiers, won't I become a heavenly soldier in this city! But there are tens of thousands of people downstairs, and as long as they enter the city at the moment, they really have no way at all. Wait for them to be impatient, attack the city gate, with more than 1,000 soldiers and more than 100 officials in Qucheng, how can they defend it?

A young man, walking up the steps to the city wall, wearing a long green jacket and a scarf, looked like a scholar: "What's wrong?" ”

"Kong Sanye, you came just in time, come and see, this... How is this good? Downstairs, who claims to be the privy of the imperial court, Lang Yi Xiaodao, wants to enter the city, but with so many people, how can there be a little bit of the appearance of the court officials and soldiers? Fan Teng grabbed the savior and vomited bitterness.

The young man known as Kong Sanye walked to the city wall and looked down, oh, there were really a lot of people. I can't see the end at a glance, and not only is it not neatly dressed and armored, but it doesn't even have a military shape, and it stands in a scattered manner, looking like a group of rabble.

"Isn't it a fake? I looked like a group of refugees. Why don't you set up a porridge stall and get help. Kong Sanye proposed.

"Hey, is that Tsing Yi from Kongmen?" Yi Xiaodao called out again under the city.

Kong Sanye's eyes lit up, he walked to the city wall, looked down with interest, and laughed softly: "Heh, if you have good eyesight, you can still recognize me as a person from Confucius?" ”

Yi Xiaodao saw the man in Tsing Yi approaching, and he expected that he would not leave ten, and continued to shout: "I heard that the Confucian sect saw that the family had been driven to Chu Xiang. What room do you have? Have you found a good place for your descendants? ”

When the green man heard this, his pretty face turned red, and he bit a pair of white teeth back and forth, but finally endured it, and shouted: "Who is the young man in the city?" Uneducated! I am a Confucian Sect, how is the Confucian Door the most profound? Don't slander out of thin air! ”

"It seems that you Confucius are all stupid to read, and if you have nothing to do, go to the rivers and lakes, listen to it, it has already spread on the rivers and lakes! Don't say it, my neck is sore, open the door quickly! ”

"Hmph, country people, it's better to talk nonsense, ignore them!" Kong Sanye was angry in his heart, and concluded that the people in the city were all fleeing, and he had the heart to ignore it.

Seeing that there was no movement on the city tower, Han Shi was anxious and ran to Yi Xiaodao's horse: "Master Yi, why did you provoke them?" This... What if they don't open the door? ”

Yi Xiaodao glanced at Han Shi, ignored it, and continued to shout: "Alas, why can't the people of Confucius tolerate people? Is it so fake? ”

Kong Sanye was furious, he couldn't control it anymore, he slapped the city wall and pointed at Yi Xiaodao and shouted angrily: "Boy, you have the courage to say it again!" ”

Yi Xiaodao glanced at Wei Youming, Wei Youming understood and instructed the heralds around him to pass it on.

Just when Kong Sanye thought that everyone in the city was shocked by him, the sound of the mountain shouting and tsunami came, and the ten thousand people in the city shouted in unison: "Fake Qinggao!" Fake Qing Gao! Fake Qing Gao! ”

Kong Sanye turned his head and shouted to the guards of the city wall: "Bring the bow!" ”

The city wall guard hesitated and looked at Fan Teng, who hurriedly came over to dissuade him: "Third Master Kong, stop your anger, why don't you go and ask Master Ling Zun Kong to come here?" ”

"Bring it! Don't let him think I'm scared of him! The disciple of Confucius on the side had already handed over a hard bow, and Kong Sanye was not ambiguous, so he aimed at Yi Xiaodao with his bow and arrow.

"Lord Yi be careful!"

Everyone in the city saw the longbow in Kong Sanye's hand clearly, and they were on guard.

"Li'er, presumptuous!" A middle-aged man stood at the head of the city, followed by two young men who looked quite similar to Kong Sanye.

"Dad, eldest brother, second brother..."Seeing the three people coming, Kong Sanye put down the bow and arrow in his hand in a daze, and complained again: "But they are too ..."

"Bastard thing, it's not going down yet!" The middle-aged man scolded again, and Kong Li had no choice but to lower his longbow and stand behind the three of them.

The middle-aged man stood by the city wall, and when Yi Xiaodao saw the comer, he decisively stretched out his hand to signal, and everyone stopped shouting.

"I am the master of the Confucian Gate, but Xiaoyou has some misunderstandings about the Confucian Gate? If it's convenient, please go into the city for a while, but Qucheng is small and can't accommodate so many heroes, so please camp outside the city. Luckily? The middle-aged man smiled kindly.

Yi Xiaodao summoned Xue Mang, Fan Jun and others: "How is the strength of Kongmen?" ”

"It's also a famous family in Donglu!" Fan Jun replied honestly.

"I'm asking about strength, strength!" Yi Xiaodao was a little anxious.

Fan Jun scratched his head and said, "In Donglu... It is possible to walk sideways. ”
