Duan 23 borrowed a knife
The battle of Wenzhou Mansion ended in one day, and in just one day, 10,000 were killed, and Zhang Wen once again felt the wonder of chasing and destroying the enemy. This is undoubtedly another great achievement of Zhang Wen, and it is indispensable to report to the imperial court.
The whole city rejoiced and rejoiced, and the soldiers were rewarded for their victories, and the people were overjoyed to avoid being plundered and slaughtered by the rebels. Zhang Wen led the army into the city, and the people on the streets cheered, put up lanterns, and even set off firecrackers.
Zhang asked...... Zhang Wen ......" The army surrounded Zhang Wen's war horse, and the shouts resounded through the sky.
Just when everyone was celebrating the festival, a carriage went around from the small streets and alleys to the north gate. In the car sat Liu Yingren and one of her guards, and two or three others followed on horseback.
The carriage drove to the city gate and stopped, and a man on horseback knocked lightly on the carriage and whispered, "Miss Liu, the sergeant at the city gate is checking the vehicles leaving the city." ”
Liu Yinglian's face was pale, she thought about it, and said to the guards in the car: "You get out of the car first, and I'll change my clothes." ”
After the guards got out of the car, Liu Yinglian took off her dress, then took a white silk and tied it tightly to her chest, and circled it several times. After wrapping her breasts, she put on a men's military uniform, re-combed her head in front of the mirror, and put on a headscarf.
After she cleaned up, she put on her face again, and looked in the mirror, looking a little like a man.
When she was ready, Liu Yinglian stepped down from the carriage and said to a guard on horseback, "You go to the carriage, I'll ride the horse." ”
"Yes."
In this way several men walked towards the city gate, and according to etiquette, several men on horseback turned over from their horses and dismounted, and led their horses to the past.
Sure enough, he was stopped by a team of sergeants, and one of the sergeants shouted: "Search the chaotic party, stop!" ”
One of Liu Yinglian's guards said with a smile: "Master Jun, we are businessmen, we just arrived in Wenzhou yesterday, and we encountered a war today, don't rush back to Hangzhou, where is there a chaotic party...... A little meaning, the military master has a cup of tea. ”
The sergeant glanced back, pinched the piece of silver, and said, "This is what Master Zhang explained, we have to see what we should see." ”
The guard took the initiative to lift the curtain, and saw two men sitting in the car. Seeing this, the sergeant put the silver in his sleeve and waved his hand.
The groom drove the cart, and the others led the horses through the city gates.
Just after walking a few steps, suddenly a woman's voice said, "Wait." The man who spoke was dressed in a black military uniform, wearing a hood with no face visible, and a long sword in his hand.
The guard who gave the silver just now smiled all over his face: "I don't know what else to do?"
The woman in black walked up to Liu Yinglian, who was dressed in disguise, and looked up and down, but Liu Yinglian stood there without moving or speaking.
The woman in black stretched out the hilt of her sword, pointed at Liu Yinglian's chest, and said, "Why are women dressed as men?" ”
The guard next to him saw the woman in black poke Liu Yinglian with a sword, and immediately jumped over. The woman in black was taken aback and drew her sword with a snort. The sergeants also hurried around.
"Whew!" The man in the car pulled out two iron swords out of nowhere, rushed out of the car, and protected Liu Yinglian.
"Acquaintances, put down your weapons!" The woman in black scolded.
The guard said, "Girl, get on the horse and go, I'll wait for the end." As soon as he finished speaking, the gates of the city were closed.
The woman in black said in a deep voice: "Take it for me!" ”
The army came over with weapons, and Liu Yinglian's guards protected and fought hard, and after a fight, two sergeants were injured, and one of Liu Yinglian's guards was also stabbed through the chest with a shot.
At this time, Liu Yinglian shouted: "Stop! Put your sword down and don't resist. ”
"Dangdang!" The two sword-wielding guards threw their weapons on the ground, and the sergeants rushed up and tied up several of them. The woman in black took the captives and walked towards the city and escorted them to the governor's station.
The woman in black called someone to take care of her, then went into the house to report, saw Zhang Wen, and said, "Yu Dong, Liu Yinglian has been arrested, and there are a few accomplices, how to deal with it?" ”
Zhang Wen said: "Send Liu Yinglian in, and the others will be sent to the Wenzhou Mansion Prison and locked up." ”
"Yes."
After a while, Liu Yinglian was escorted into Zhang Wen's room, Zhang Wen looked at Liu Yinglian, and said with a smile: "Don't say it, Miss Liu's makeup skills are quite good at home, if you don't look carefully, you really can't see it." ”
Liu Yinglian's arms were tied, and she still saluted: "Thank you for your praise." ”
Seeing this, Zhang Wen said to the left and right: "Untie her." ”
After hearing this, the guard walked up and untied the rope from Liu Yinglian's body, and Zhang Wen invited her to sit down and drink tea.
Liu Yinglian sat on the chair, looked at Zhang and asked, "What is Master Zhang going to do with me, will you kill me?" ”
Zhang asked: "Miss Liu asked me if I would kill you when we met, it seems that you are quite afraid of death, but I was almost killed by you." ”
Liu Ying said gloomily: "Even if Lord Zhang kills me, I don't blame you." ”
Zhang Wen shook his head: "What reason do I use to kill you?" Collusion with the White Lotus Sect? But I don't have any evidence in my hand. A conspiracy to kill an official? There is still no evidence, and I can only guess. ”
Liu Yinglian wanted to say: You are the governor of Zhejiang, do you still need evidence to kill a famous prostitute in Qinglou? But she didn't say it, just silent.
Zhang Wen said in a mocking tone: "What kind of person Qian Yiqian is, I can understand it now." Didn't he treat you like a lady in the main room, but now it's good, in order to murder his colleagues, he didn't hesitate to send his own woman into someone else's arms. ”
Liu Yinglian said coldly: "I admit that I want to kill people with a knife and murder adults, you have to kill me to take revenge, but you can't insult Lord Qian." No matter what, it is better for Lord Qian to clear his name than to be a eunuch! ”
"A lifetime of clear names? Haha......" Zhang Wen shook his head and said, "Alas, people are really strange, he took advantage of you, and you still helped him count the money?" ”
Liu Ying said pitifully: "Our affairs, people like you don't understand, and they can't take care of it." ”
Zhang asked, "Well, I'm too lazy to tell you this. I won't kill you for two reasons: one is because you saved my wife and daughter last time, and I gave you a favor, and now you don't owe each other; The second is that Miss Liu herself is not a heinous person, and she looks like a beautiful country, and I myself have no preference for spicy hands to destroy flowers. So, don't be afraid that I'm going to kill you. The reason why I caught you is because I want to keep you for a while, lest you go back and tell Qian Yiqian all the news, which will be very disadvantageous to me. ”
Liu Ying said after hearing this: "Thank you for the grace of the adult not to kill, the adult's open-mindedness is really admirable." It's just that...... I wonder, how will you take revenge on Lord Qian? ”
Zhang Wen pondered for a moment and said, "I haven't thought of a method yet, and it's not so easy to come up with a vicious method like Qian Yiqian to deal with me." ”
Liu Yinglian said nervously: "What kind of vicious means are you going to use to deal with Lord Qian?" ”
"Didn't I just say it, I haven't thought about it yet."
Liu Ying said indignantly: "Lord Zhang can let me go, why can't you let Master Qian go?" If Lord Qian hadn't worried that you would deal with him, he wouldn't have calculated you like this. ”
Zhang Wen patted his thigh and said, "You are right in this sentence, I just take into account that Lord Qian will calculate me, so I have to calculate him." ”
Liu Ying said pitifully: "Lord Zhang served the country in Liaodong and fought bloody battles to build captives, and he was originally a pillar of the country and the people, why did he take refuge in Wei Gelding and frame Zhongliang?" ”
Zhang Wen immediately continued: "When did I frame Zhongliang?" Fang Kezhuang's matter is none of my business at all, deal with Qian Yiqian, is Qian Yiqian loyal? What did he do to benefit the people's court? colluded with the White Lotus Sect to cooperate with the outside and prepared to use the people of the whole city of Wenzhou to give me a funeral; Fujian was hungry, refugees poured into Zhejiang, as Zhejiang's political envoy, he didn't even have the most basic precautions against the province, and he also lured wolves into the house, almost letting the forces of the White Lotus Sect infiltrate into Zhejiang, is this also considered loyal? ”
Liu Ying said angrily: "Lord Qian did not collude with the White Lotus Sect, but he was forced to contact one of the altar masters of the White Lotus Sect to capture Wenzhou, and besides, the White Lotus Sect only kills corrupt officials and bullies, and will not slaughter the people of Wenzhou." Mr. Zhang was speaking from the position of a landlord and a rich man, and of course he felt that they were demons. ”
Zhang Wen stood up and said, "It's not enough for a woman to fall into an emotional brain, I don't bother to talk to you more." Let's fight in the south, and when the alien race rides on our heads, we will know who is reasonable and who is not. ”
Walking to the door, a guard happened to come over and arched his hand: "Yu Dongjia, Mr. Shen has arrived in Wenzhou and is outside the courtyard." Zhang asked, "Please come to the living room and talk." ”
The guard said, "Yes, the owner." ”
Zhang Wen walked straight to the living room, and saw Shen Jing after a while. The two saluted each other, and Zhang Wen said with a smile: "The sun in the south is poisonous, and Mr. Shen has been out for less than a month, and he has become even darker." ”
Shen Jing laughed and said, "As soon as the old man entered the city, he heard that the lord had won another big victory, congratulations to the lord." ”
Zhang asked, "It's really a coincidence that Mr. Shen came back, if it had been earlier, I'm afraid I would have seen it with my own eyes." Please, speak in the house. ”
"Your Excellency, please." Shen Jing deliberately walked behind Zhang Wen out of courtesy, "The people say that adults use soldiers like gods, and it is not an exaggeration for the old man to see. The army of Wenzhou City is just a rabble, but the adults dare to directly lead out of the city for a decisive battle, which is admirable and admirable. ”
While talking, the two walked into the living room, sat up and down, and Zhang asked: "Where is it, in fact, the thousand garrison troops in Wenzhou are still quite capable of fighting, better than most garrisons in Zhejiang." At that time, I led the troops out of the city from the south gate, and the south gate and the east gate were a rabble, and a large number of refugees affected the hearts of the thief army. I pinned my hopes on the 1,000 guards to calm the scene and put them in the striker, and sure enough, I was not disappointed. ”
Shen Jingxiang laughed for a while, touched it from his sleeve for a while, took out a stack of drawings, and said: "There is not much time, I only visited Pingyang County in Wenzhou Prefecture, but I have collected materials in other states and counties in southern Zhejiang. The old man made a special trip to Pingyang County because he felt that Pingyang County was suitable for the army. ”
Zhang Wen picked up Shen Jing's drawings, flipped through a few pages, looked up and asked, "Why did Mr. Shen fall in love with Pingyang?" ”
"The army in Pingyang County can rely on Yandang Mountain to set up a pass in the mountainous area, which can be defended and attacked, and at the same time, the fertile land in the plain can be tuntian, the river is sufficient, and the irrigation is convenient. Isn't that the condition we are negotiating? ”
Zhang Wen nodded and said, "Mr. Shen is reasonable, I will go and see when it is suitable, and if it is suitable, I will settle down the place, build a city and fort, and establish a garrison base." ”
Shen Jing looked left and right and asked, "How is Qian Yiqian's matter?" ”
Zhang asked: "I was yin by him, and I almost didn't die." But I'm ready and ready to deal with him. ”
