Chapter 242: The Neglected Ru Taisu

Rutaisu? It turned out to be Ru Taisu? How could Ma Fengsun not know this person, after all, this person had just moved to Suzhou, so he unreasonably banned the shops of many merchants in Suzhou, and brutally forced them to "donate" a large amount of grain when the disaster was most serious and the people's hearts were fluctuating.

It's just, how did this old guy end up here?

Wasn't he under house arrest by Zhu Su'er?

House arrest...... House arrest?

Ma Fengsun suddenly realized.

Regarding the grievances between Zhu Su and this old man, he also taught people to talk about it for a while in Suzhou Fuzhong. It is said that this old man offended Zhu Su, the king of Wu, when he was in the capital, so the first thing the young and vigorous King Wu did after arriving in Suzhou Mansion was to directly find an excuse for this old man to be placed under house arrest. At that time, there were still many people who wanted to complain about this.

But later, King Wu made a pit of a businessman, scraped out a huge amount of grain to appease the people and the victims, and did better than Ru Taisu, which reassured the people's hearts, and no one talked about it anymore.

Ru Taisu, who once fought against disasters and is now under house arrest, is gradually forgotten by everyone. No one cares anymore.

I thought that there was no one in Suzhou Mansion who could hold up the situation, who would have thought that this long forgotten history of river patrol would suddenly appear at this critical juncture?

"The despicable Zhu Su Xiao'er secretly released his house arrest, and said that he had moved this old man to be in cahoots with him!" Ma Fengsun hated it in his heart!

What he expected was good, Zhu Su did inform Ru Taisu of his plan, after all, although this old man has a stinky and hard temper, he still knows the overall situation in general.

But despite this, Zhu Su just wanted him to sit in the government office, just in case. If the people in the city are panicked when they see the fighting, having an official like Ru Taisu, who is quite popular among the people, can prevent the chaos from expanding. It's just that Zhu Su didn't expect that the remnants of the Zhang clan would be able to pull out hundreds of dead soldiers, and even secretly hid heavy armor, forcing Di Meng, who was with nearly a thousand soldiers, to be at a loss and try to ask Suzhou Wei for help.

However, Di Mengren spoke softly, although he still had the identity of a brocade guard, he was just a school captain. Moreover, the prestige of the Jinyi Wei has not yet spread to Suzhou, and the Suzhou Wei soldiers who stayed in the camp of the guard may not listen to the tune, so Di Meng remembered Ru Taisu who was sitting in the government and invited this big Buddha out.

Suzhou Wei commander Yang Lu is still in the west of the city, without Yang Lu's order, Di Meng and others may not be able to transfer the army if they want to transfer the army privately.

But it's different to be Ru Taisu, who carries the official title of patrolling the river and the imperial history, and when it comes to the affairs of the flood and chaos, the authority is even greater than that of the Fuzun Weiguan. Or is it a degraded official in Beijing, an old troll who even dares to fight against the prince, and the tiger whisker who dares to touch him in the hundreds of households left behind in the guard?

Rao is that they have the intention to prevaricate, and they have no choice but to take out Ru Taisu's housekeeping skills in the past: he sprayed all the hundreds of households and thousands of households in the guard, telling them that if they miss a major event, they will definitely be guilty of losing the military plane to all of them.

Several thousands of households wiped the saliva sprayed on their faces, discussed for a while, and did not dare to take this responsibility, and it was okay to send more people to the reserve warehouse to do something to stand, it was better than being accused of being involved in the loss of military aircraft, and finally allocated more than 1,000 soldiers to Ru Taisu, and asked them to follow Ru Taisu to guard the reserve warehouse.

The soldiers were originally complaining, how could they be willing to take on such a drudgery on this Chinese New Year's Eve? It's just that because of Ru Taisu, a big official, he reluctantly obeyed the order. Later, when I saw the fire in the streets of Pishi, I was shocked to realize that there were really thieves who were making trouble in the city.

When the warehouse door was slammed open, a group of wet, embarrassed rabble rushed in recklessly, and most of them fell in a rain of arrows, and these people were even more overjoyed: This is the legendary Taihu Lake bandits? This is the military merit sent to the door!

"Shoot the arrows! Shoot them! Ru Taisu shouted in a loud voice. The archers of Suzhou Wei behind him were inexplicably excited, and another rain of arrows shot head-on towards the chaotic remnants of the Zhang family.

"It's a big deal!" Ma Fengsun was already desperate.

"God bless me! King Cheng, you have a spirit in heaven, why don't you protect me and others! Why don't you protect me? ”

……

……

……

"Huh? Over there...... Isn't it the direction of the government? ”

"Why did you make such a big fire......

In the west of the city, in the building, someone from the crowd who was singing and dancing noticed the abnormality outside the window and asked loudly.

When Zhu Su heard that the palace was on fire, he also felt a sigh in his heart. Didn't Di Meng's side fail?

“…… Dogs, go check it out. ”

If the reserve warehouse is burned, the hearts of the victims in the west of the city will inevitably fluctuate, and they will have worked hard to calm down the situation in the past few days, but they will fall short.

"Your Highness, it's not ......"

The musician's tune was no longer listening, and many people gathered to the east window to watch the fire rising in the distance. The original joyful atmosphere in the building changed, and people were suddenly panicked for a while. Wei Guan, the prefect who had already known about Zhu Su's plan, leaned over and whispered, "...... Didn't the ploy fail, and General Di Xiao failed to stop the thief? ”

"If that's the case, it's better to end the banquet early, and let me wait for the return to maintain the situation!"

"Don't worry, let's take a look first." Zhu Su said. It stands to reason that it shouldn't be, there was no such chaos in the original history of Zhang Chen's remnants, either he was peacefully pacified or he destroyed himself, that is to say, there shouldn't be much foundation in the hands of this group of people. Even though the strength of the other party is uneven because of his butterfly effect, it has only been a short time since he began to interfere in history, and it is impossible to develop a million-strong army in this time.

More than 1,000 soldiers plus dozens of their own Wang Wei will not lose to a group of thieves hiding in the shadows.

The dog has a telescope in his hand, and he can see the situation in the distance clearly. After a while, he came over and reported to Zhu Suyu: "Your Highness, it's a happy event. There was no fire in the reserve chamber. ”

"It's Pishi Street that's on fire. And the fire has gradually been extinguished, and someone should be putting out the fire. ”

"Pishi Street ......" Zhu Su frowned at first, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that something went wrong, which led to Di Meng and his party not ambushing the thieves in the place they originally said, but fighting the thieves at the place on Pishi Street.

But it shouldn't be a big deal, after all, the reserve warehouse is not on fire, and I think it should be Di Meng's party who finally won: if that gang of thieves wins, where will they have the heart to put out the fire, they wish that the more chaos in this city, the better. Only when Di Meng won the victory, in order to avoid the situation from escalating again, let the sergeant devote himself to the affairs of extinguishing the fire.

informed Wei Guan, who was still worried, of his analysis, and Wei Guan also breathed a sigh of relief. "In this way, at this time, the remnants of the thieves entrenched in Suzhou Mansion should have been wiped out."

"As the prefect of Suzhou, the old minister should thank His Highness. His Royal Highness Xie has done his best to completely suppress this hidden danger for me......"

"It doesn't matter. However, the matter is not yet clear, and it is still not to be taken lightly......" Zhu Su said. "When I saw the fire in the city, I was afraid that people's hearts would fluctuate. Let's try to appease people's hearts first, and then join up with Di Meng and others. ”

He was a little concerned about what kind of unexpected situation happened on Di Meng's side.

Wei Guan nodded, but a tense nerve had been loosened. As long as the bandits are eliminated, and now the city is gradually stable, even if the flood comes again, there is no fear of a big problem. As the prefect of Suzhou, I want to come to the next term, and I can relax for a while......

Wei Guan, who put down the big stone in his heart, didn't expect that at this time, in the river behind this building, there were more than a dozen ghost-like figures, poking their heads out of the icy river.
