Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Seizure of Power at the City Gate

In the mansion with plenty of internal space, Li Wen's voice sounded leisurely in the ears of all the officials.

Suddenly, all the officials were in a cold sweat in their hearts, and they all lowered their heads humbly.

This is going to be a hard hand directly!

For a while, this thought sounded in everyone's minds, and they originally thought that this was just a direct and simple meeting, after all, although the death of the head of the Song family might indeed be a big deal.

However, compared to the power of the entire Youzhou, it is not a big deal.

But now that the officials are looking at the posture of the Youwang in front of them, this will make the entire Youzhou change the rhythm of the sky.

First, a large number of low-level officials in the Youzhou Mansion defected to Youwang, and then directly sent people to take over the city defense.

In addition, the next winter moment is about to begin, so the entire Youzhou City will form a trapped cage.

And they are the beasts in this cage, and when the spring of the next year comes, I am afraid that everything is a foregone conclusion.

Everyone sees such a future in their thoughts!

However, the current situation is stronger than people, and the officials looked at the many soldiers who walked out after Li Wen gave the order.

For a while, I couldn't help but feel that the general trend has gone!

……

Putting aside the intrigue between Li Wen and the officials in the government at this moment, let's just say that after Wei Bao received Li Wen's order, when he led an elite army trained during this time, he rushed towards the city gate on horseback.

Take over the task of guarding the city gate and take the control of the defense army of the entire Youzhou City into your own hands.

This is Wei Bao's most urgent task at present!

Therefore, Wei Bao did not dare to slack off for a moment!!

At the gate of the city, pedestrians, hawkers, and even groups of merchants are constantly queuing up to enter the city.

After all, Youzhou City is a big city, and the daily maintenance of a large city requires a large number of laborers to support it.

However, the housing prices in Youzhou City are insurmountable compared to ordinary handymen.

So in order to earn money and save money on the other, those who live nearby choose to work in and out at sunrise.

And then formed a spectacular scene in Youzhou City!

Every time the city gate is wide open at sunrise, a large number of people who enter the city to work are pouring into Youzhou City.

The sound of copper coins ringing is constantly sounding at the position of the city gate, which is the entry tax of Youzhou City.

At this moment, Yang Kun, as the general of the city defense, is like a person listening to a play, listening to the pleasant sound of the copper coin, and the whole person's mood has become extremely happy.

However, this pleasure did not last long, accompanied by a sudden outbreak of fierce quarrels at the gates.

Yang Kun's good mood this day is gone!

"Master Jun, yesterday it was still two copper coins, how did it become four copper coins today!"

A peasant, grim-eyed, shouted.

It seemed that he couldn't believe the words spoken by the military master in front of him.

"How the people above explain, how Lao Tzu collects money, pays the money honestly, and enters the city honestly!

If you dare to make trouble, watch your head!! ”

However, in the face of the cries of the distressed peasants, the city defense soldiers who were responsible for collecting the money spoke impatiently.

"Collect four copper coins, then today's day's harvest is not in vain, forget it, I won't go into the city!"

Faced with the high entry tax of four copper coins, the sorrowful peasant calculated a little, and said with a sad face.

Originally, I didn't earn much money by working in the city, but I had to be picked up again, and this day would be in vain.

Speaking of sorrow, the peasants just want to leave the team!

However, the impatient soldier just now suddenly said viciously: "If you want to enter, you can enter, if you want to leave, you can't entertain Lao Tzu!"

No, you have to enter if you want to enter today, and if you don't want to enter, you have to let me in! ”

Then he grabbed the peasant's money bag in his hand, and counted four copper coins in it.

It was to slam the money bag on the farmer's body.

"Hurry up, get in!

Don't waste everyone's time!! ”

However, the soldier's approach completely angered the sad-faced peasant, who was afraid of causing trouble, but he was definitely not a coward who swallowed his anger.

So when he got into an argument with the soldiers!

Suddenly, a riot that broke Yang Kun's good mood broke out quickly at the city gate.

Seeing the riot at the gate of the city, Yang Kun, the general of the city defense, hurriedly stepped forward and said angrily: "What are you doing, what are you doing!"

If you want to rebel, you can't do it!! ”

The intimidation immediately frightened the peasants into revolting.

Immediately, Yang Kun understood a little bit of the reason for the dispute, just when the sorrowful peasants thought that Yang Kun would make decisions for him.

In the blink of an eye, Yang Kun kicked him to the ground!

Just when the peasants with sad faces were at a loss, Yang Kun's next words made him break out in a cold sweat.

"You little pariahs don't work well to make money, but you have come to inquire about this city tax!

You will give as much as you receive, talking about disputes, intending to disturb the order of the city gate of Youzhou City!

Are you a spy sent by the barbarians!! ”

A large hat was buttoned to the peasant's head, which surprised the other doubtful people.

Even if you dismiss the desire to ask, everything happens after that is very smooth in the past.

Under the kowtow and begging for mercy of the distressed peasants, Yang Kun, as the general of the city defense, generously forgave this guy.

So everything was settled, and everyone was happy, everyone was happy!

The sound of copper coins continued to sound again, and the pleasant sound of the copper coins made Yang Kun's mood better.

Only the hard-earned copper coins were taken away by life.

Except for scolding the dog official in his heart, he can't do anything to resist!

The people do not fight with the officials, and the wisdom of the people's life is implemented!

Drive, drive, drive!

Just when the people who entered the city were indignant and powerless, and Yang Kun was quite happy with the copper coin.

The sound of galloping horses sounded suddenly.

After a while, under Yang Kun's puzzled gaze, Wei Bao led the elite soldiers to the city gate.

Then Wei Bao turned over and dismounted in front of Yang Kun, took three steps and made two steps to Yang Kun and said loudly.

"By order of His Royal Highness King You, I will take over the post of general of the city guard, and the soldiers here will also be under my command.

General Yang, please!! ”

Saying that, he made a send-off appearance towards Yang Kun!

"It's impossible, how I don't know about this!

I'm going to see Lord Lieutenant, you're pretending to give orders! ”

Seeing Wei Bao give the royal order document, Yang Kun suddenly looked unbelievable.

Immediately, he slapped the royal order document on the table, and then wanted to go directly to Lord Duwei.

However, as soon as Yang Kun moved, he was intercepted by Wei Bao, which made Yang Kun's expression suddenly angry.

"Let's go, hand over the Lingyin first!"

Wei Bao's tone was stiff.

"This is impossible, until I see Lord Duwei, don't want me to hand over the !! of the seal"

Yang Kun's tone shouted and said.

"Humph! Keep saying Lord Captain, Lord Captain!

Where have you placed His Royal Highness?

Such a disobedient offender should be beaten!! ”

Rumble!

As he spoke, Wei Bao kicked him in turn, and the heavy force made Yang Kun bend down and fall to the ground in pain like a prawn.

At the same time, a mouthful of sour water is constantly spit out.

The whole person looks even more uncomfortable!!

"Hmph, it's not enough!"

Seeing Yang Kun's painful appearance, Wei Bao said disdainfully.

Immediately, Wei Bao stretched out his hand and took out the Ling Yin from Yang Kun's body, and then commanded the people beside him.

"Put him in prison for me, and wait for the fate of His Royal Highness the King of You!"

"Yes!!"

Suddenly, a group of soldiers listened to the order and said.

Wei Bao and others took the initiative throughout this battle, and Yang Kun's soldiers had no power to fight back at all.

After all, compared to the elite soldiers selected through brutal training, these ordinary soldiers who defended the city were not worth mentioning at all.
