Chapter 52: Betrayal

"Retreat! Withdraw! Withdraw! ”

Tian Qing and the others dragged the sleigh and prepared to cross the Yellow River, when suddenly a cavalry appeared on the opposite bank, and the long knife was pointed directly at them.

"What's going on, didn't you say that we should be allowed to enter the customs? Why did it suddenly change again? ”

"We're done!"

"I should have left earlier."

The faces of Tian Qing and the others were full of despair.

It was none other than Zha Li, the son who had been slapped by Li Huai, and Ye Kangning was by his side.

After the dissolution of the West Wind Chamber of Commerce, Cha Li didn't know what means he used, and he actually made an errand in Guanzhong Shangjun.

Chang'an City is now a world of the Qinglong Chamber of Commerce, and Li Huai forcibly cut off the relationship between Ye Kangning and Princess Chang'an.

Ye Kangning couldn't find anything to do in Chang'an City, so he consulted with his father Ye Dai, hoping that Ye Dao could give him some advice.

Ye Yi gave him four words through various considerations such as his understanding of his son and his ability.

"Eat and die!"

Ye Kangning obviously did not take Ye Qi's suggestion, so he left Chang'an and went to Shangjun to continue fooling around with Cha Li.

His father Ye is a colt and a marquis at the same time, although he has lost his status as a prince of Chang'an, he is also a first-class son of a family in Guanzhong.

Charlie ignored his previous suspicions and took him in.

Ye Kangning looked at those people on the Yellow River and said, "Gongzi Cha, they are all Li Huai's enemies, and the enemies of enemies are friends, why don't we turn a blind eye and let them into the pass?" ”

Cha Li sighed helplessly and said, "My son also has the heart to let them into the customs, but he can't. ”

"Why?" Ye Kangning asked.

"A few days ago, Li Huai sent a messenger to Guanzhong with his royal decree, which said that there would be corrupt officials from Jiuyuan crossing the Yellow River into Guanzhong, and officials of all sizes in Guanzhong basically received the letter." Charlie explained.

Ye Kangning was still puzzled and said: "He is the king of Liangzhou, there is no need for Guanzhong officials to listen to him." ”

Charlie glared at him speechlessly, this idiot didn't understand this point, so he had to patiently explain it to him.

"Li Huai is the king of Liangzhou, but the official is an official of the imperial court, knowing that there are corrupt officials and corrupt officials entering the customs, but he does not stop it, saying that it is small, this is the crime of failure to investigate, and if it is big, it is an accomplice, and the same crime will be punished. Who would dare to bet? ”

Even Chali's brother-in-law, Shen Tuzai covered the sky with one hand and put these people in the prison. However, won't the rest of the officials in Guanzhong secretly denounce it?

How many people are looking forward to grasping the handle of Shen slaughtering, how can they be careless in doing things, otherwise, I don't know when a catastrophe will come.

Ye Kangning suddenly had a question, "Then we simply arrested these people and confiscated their property, which is still a credit to Gongzi Cha." ”

Chali's chest suddenly tightened, and he regretted taking in this idiot a little, so he calmed down and explained to him.

"I'm going to confiscate a tael of silver today, Li Huai will dare to say that he lost ten taels tomorrow, then I have to hand over ten taels, the account book is not with us, understand?"

This case happened in Jiuyuan, and the ledger was also in Jiuyuan, and it was impossible for them to reach for it, so it was better not to do anything.

If you really want to make trouble, will the court take care of the royal family's face? Or give him Chali a face?

Even if you think about it with your ass, you know the result.

When the time comes.

He couldn't pay ten times the silver for the ceremony, and he personally returned it to Li Huai, didn't he stretch out his face to beat someone!

Ye Kangning was disappointed for a while, thinking that this was an opportunity for revenge, but he didn't expect that they were here to help Li Huai.

Depressed!

"Still."

Cha Li changed his words, sneered, and said, "According to my information, they have almost sold all the grain grown in Jiuyuan. Now Jiuyuan can be said to be this and that, and when the ice and snow melt and spring blooms, the people of Jiuyuan can't do anything. ”

"And I only need to guard the pass and not let a grain flow into Jiuyuan, and he will not be able to clean up this mess."

Why did Charlie come to Shangjun on an errand?

That's because Shangjun is the closest to Liangzhou, just across the Yellow River, and he can continue to play with Li Huai!

He lost the last time he played.

Cha Li thought that he had lost unjustly, he didn't expect that Li Huai would go around hundreds of miles and have to run to Chang'an.

He didn't have any preparation, and was caught off guard by Li Huai, so he lost the West Wind Chamber of Commerce.

This time.

He won't let Li Huai have any chance to turn over.

Ye Kangning also sneered: "If there is a riot in Jiuyuan, in order to appease the mob, the imperial court can only use him, the king of Liang." ”

Ha ha!

The two laughed triumphantly.

"Look!"

On the north bank of the Yellow River, the wind and snow rolled unnaturally, and there were still people crowded.

"It's Yan Gaoyang!"

"They're catching up."

"Let's run!"

Tian Qing and the others turned pale with fright, and they hugged their heads and ran towards the south bank of the Yellow River.

"Shoot arrows in front of them, those who land on the south shore, kill!" Charlie ordered.

Sou! Whoosh!

The rain of arrows fell in front of them, and everyone immediately stopped and looked at the ruthless soldiers on the other side.

Blocking their only way to survive.

Many people broke down and cried.

Others opened the box and picked up a handful of silver tickets.

"It's all for you, let's get over."

"Please."

"We can give you all the money."

Now.

Who of them does not regret that they embarked on this dead end?

Lao Zhou grabbed Tian Qing's collar, "What you promised at the beginning will definitely ensure that we will retreat and enjoy the glory and wealth together, I don't want any glory and wealth, you tell me, where is our way of life?" ”

Tian Qing looked very calm, he turned his head to look in the direction of the southeast, a little desolate, and said indifferently: "We were betrayed." ”

"Who betrayed us?" Lao Zhou asked.

Tian Qing shook his head, "Don't say it!" ”

When Lao Zhou heard these three words, he couldn't help but laugh miserably, "We are about to die without a place to be buried, you are still hiding it, Tian Qing, Tian County Order, I really admire you!" ”

He weakly let go of Tian Qing's collar.

"I'm also stupid, if I don't do it, I will be embarrassed with you, and I will end up like this, then I deserve it!"

Ha ha!

Lao Zhou smiled madly, picked up the silver ticket in the box, and threw it into the sky frantically, "What are you doing with these things, they are all reserved for others!" ”

Not long.

Yan Gaoyang came to the north bank of the Yellow River and saw Tian Qing and others on the glacier of the Yellow River, who had not yet crossed the river.

Slightly relieved.

"I am ordered by King Liang to arrest all the others, and if you don't hurry up, you will be arrested!"

……

Taishou at the gate of the house.

Syllable!

Li Huai took out the grain stamp and patted it in front of Lu Youji's eyes, "Did you stamp the official seal on this?" ”

Lu Youqi didn't dare to look at him, and lowered his head, "Yes!" ”

Bang!

Li Huai kicked him, Lu Youqi turned over a few times, rolled onto the snow, and hurriedly got up and knelt down.

"Lord Wang......" Qu Meifang felt sorry for her man and wanted to ask for intercession, but when she met Li Huai's murderous eyes, she couldn't help it again.

Until now.

She didn't even know how much mistake Lu Youji had made.

Bang!

Li Huai went up and kicked again, and Lu Youqi rolled to the left, got up and knelt down. One more kick to roll him to the right, get up and kneel.

Kicked three times.

"Lu Youqi, how dare you!"

"For the sake of a woman, are you going to starve all the people of Jiuyuan County to death? When that time comes, you're going to be happy?! ”

Qu Meifang raised her head in surprise, Li Huai's words made him understand the seriousness of the matter, and her eyes also showed some self-blame.

"Lord Wang!"

"The minister confesses his sins, please give the prince death!"

Lu Youqi didn't defend himself, his biggest wish now is to seek death, and only death can make up for this fateful mistake.

"If you cut off your head, you can get back the grain, even if you have a hundred heads, this king will be able to cut them down."

Li Huai's anger seemed to have subsided a little, he was really angry, and he almost couldn't hold back a few times, and he pulled out his knife and directly cut Lu Youqi.

Yet reason finally prevailed over impulse.

Even if you kill a hundred land players, including Tian Qing and others, they will all be killed and their whole family will be punished!

That won't change you back to growing grain!

"You can't die now, the official seal of the grain stamps is stamped by you, you have to continue to be the Taishou of Jiuyuan County, so that the people believe that after the beginning of spring, the government will grow grain and distribute it!"

If Li Huai cuts Lu Youqi now, this case is announced to the world, and the people may be grateful to him and punish the evil and eliminate the evil.

After three minutes of gratitude, the people will ask him.

"What about growing grain?"

How should he answer?

Now there is only one way, continue to hide from the people, and there are still almost two months to go before the beginning of spring.

Within two months!

Li Huai is on the nine heavens and down to the four seas, and he must also raise all the grain!
