Chapter 94: Abandoning the City
Gu Qingshan's eyes flashed, and seeing that General Yang couldn't hold his breath and wanted to speak, he secretly pressed his hand to calm him down.
"Our general and Master Chen have never been masked, even if they don't help, it's excusable, I'm afraid we will let Mrs. Chen run for nothing."
Hearing such a refusal, Jiang Fu's face became a little more serious, and after two breaths of silence, he spoke:
"Even if it's not for the concubine's husband, General Yang doesn't want to avenge the soldiers of the Yang family who died in vain?
I don't believe you really don't know who opened the gates? With General Yang and your brains, it is impossible to be fooled by a substitute ghost.
The concubine has an enmity with Governor Zhang, is it true that the general, Lin Yangguan and him don't have it? ”
At this point she paused, then continued:
"This time it's not so much to help me, but to help yourself, Governor Zhang controls the only main road from Lin Yangguan to the capital, I'm afraid that the border pass will be stuck by his neck, and life will not be easy, right?"
General Yang squinted and nodded, his eyes flashed with danger, and it could be seen that Jiang Fu's words made him even more excited.
Gu Qingshan shook his head helplessly when he saw his general's eyes, and sighed in his heart, this person is in his thirties, and he still can't hide things.
Since Jiang Fu has thought of this, he must have come after making enough preparations, and he didn't go around in circles with Jiang Fu, but directly looked at the door and saw the mountain road:
"Mrs. Chen Bingxue is smart, in this case, we Mingren don't say dark words, since you dare to risk the crime of rebellion and let the general help you besiege Luliang, you must have already thought of a perfect plan?"
Jiang Fu nodded.
"I don't dare to say anything, but if the general is willing to help, he can listen to it."
She told the two of them her intentions.
The more Gu Qingshan listened, the brighter his eyes became, and he finally slapped his thigh and shouted:
"Good! Madame's plan is very good, then you bother Madame to go first, before Ming Zizi, the general will naturally take Yang Jiajun to Luliang to wish you a hand. ”
Hearing this, Jiang Fu glanced at General Yang with inquiry, and when she saw him nodding to herself with excitement in his eyes, she knew that this was done!
He and Chen Jian'an have only been in Lin Yang for a few months, and they have been annoyed enough by Governor Zhang, and they have made trouble to the point of life and death.
It is conceivable that General Yang, who has been stationed at Lin Yang Pass for many years, will only have more and no less discord with Governor Zhang.
If he is the second person who wants to kill Governor Zhang, then General Yang can definitely be ranked first.
Not to mention how many brothers surnamed Zhang killed him this time, let's just say that in the past few years, how much food and salary was deducted by Governor Zhang's government at the border pass, I am afraid that even General Yang himself can't figure it out.
After Jiang Fu discussed with the two, he didn't dare to delay for a moment to take the Xuantie horse and rush back.
The group hurried back to Lin Yang after dark.
The county magistrate ordered people to guard the city gate early in the morning, and when he saw that it was the county lady, he immediately opened the city gate and let them in, and went to tell the county magistrate.
At the same time, Jiang Fu ordered Qizhou to bring people to wake up Lin Yang from all the big and small officials in the city, and all of them were dragged to the county office.
"I came back from Lin Yangguan just now, the battle over there is very bad, the Yang family army was attacked by the enemy yesterday and the grain and grass camp, I'm afraid it will be impossible to support it."
As soon as she said this, everyone present was in an uproar, and they all showed frightened expressions, as if the barbarians were about to fight in the next second.
"How's that for good? If Lin Yang Pass is broken, we won't be able to keep it here! ”
"Why don't we take advantage of the fact that the barbarians haven't come yet, let's quickly pack up our things and run to Luliang."
"That's it, thanks to Mrs. Ventilation, if you don't follow the ferocity of the barbarians, when they kill us, none of us will be able to escape!"
Except for the county man who sat on the side and did not speak, the others said one after another.
Jiang Fu nodded to everyone with a serious expression.
"Everyone is right, while the barbarians haven't come yet, let's quickly pack up our things and go to Luliang.
It's just that there are still a lot of people in this city, so it's better for you to evacuate with your family first, and I will stay with the county lord to evacuate the people, and let them hide in the mountains with their belongings, maybe when the barbarians come, they can save their lives. ”
Seeing that Jiang Fu not only did not stop them, but stayed behind and let them go first, more than a dozen officials agreed and thanked them one after another, but their hearts were happy.
They didn't dare to waste time, the last time the barbarians slaughtered the city left a shadow on everyone, for fear that if they took one step too late, they would become a ghost under the knife.
Without waiting for Jiang Fu to urge again, they left one by one, went home to pack their things and prepare for the carriage to leave the city.
After everyone left, the county asked puzzledly:
"What Madame just said is true?"
Jiang Fu put away the serious and nervous expression just now and hooked the corners of his mouth.
"Naturally, I was coaxing them, Governor Zhang wanted me to go to Luliang to catch turtles in an urn, then I would simply disturb this pond, and then it would not be who was fishing in troubled waters."
Governor Zhang wants to solve himself unconsciously, then he will make a big deal of it, all the officials of Lin Yang City went to Luliang, and then saw that he also entered Luliang, how could Governor Zhang dare to do it to himself in full view of everyone?
Since he didn't dare to move himself in Lin Yang City, and he had to go to Luliang to rescue Chen Jian'an, it would be better to move Lin Yang to Luliang.
The county Cheng figured out what she meant, and his eyes lit up suddenly.
"Tall! It's just that in this way, at most, he doesn't dare to attack you, madam, how can Lord Chen come out? ”
"You don't have to worry about this, do as I say, before tomorrow, I promise to fish him out all the head and tail!"
Jiang Fu instructed the county to lead people to evacuate the people, and to do a full set of plays, even if the top blamed it at that time, she was just planning in advance for the safety of the people, but the Yang family's army bravely retreated from the enemy, so that her plan failed to send Yongchang, right?
As soon as it was nightfall, the people of Lin Yang City were woken up by the sound on the street, and opened the window to look out, only to see that the carriages were lining up outside to leave the city.
They were all frightened by this stance, and they all put on their clothes and stood in the doorway, craned their necks to see what was going on.
The carriages were more or less followed by carts laden with goods, and it looked as if they were moving.
Can you move in the middle of the night?
The people smelled something unusual, and their hearts were uneasy.
"Are they going to abandon the city?"
"The officials are gone, what should we do?"
Someone wanted to come forward to ask, but was driven back by the official's family.
Fortunately, it didn't take long for the county to come with the catchers.
He took out Jiang Fu's foolish words and said them to the people again, and before the people were afraid, he only gave them a quarter of an hour to pack up their things, and then evacuate from the city as soon as possible.
When the people saw that the officials had already gotten into the carriage and left, they were convinced of this and hurriedly turned around and went home to pack their things.
At the same time, Luliang was not at ease.
Chen Jian'an, who was scarred on his body, changed into clean clothes and stood in front of Governor Zhang.
Governor Zhang held a royal gold medal in his hand and stroked it over and over, looked at him with a look on his face, and said in a hesitant tone:
"Are you His Majesty's man?"
This gold medal was dropped when Chen Jian'an was tortured, only His Majesty's cronies have it, if it weren't for the fact that their Zhang family had a noble concubine, I was afraid that a grade like him wouldn't recognize this thing.
If the sword given by the first emperor can kill the court officials below the third grade, then this gold medal, even the first-rank master can fight first and then make up!
The reason why Chen Jian'an stimulated Zhang Heng in the prison was to let him do it to himself, and then let them see this gold medal "inadvertently".
He stood with his hands in his hands, and his face flashed with a clear expression of struggle, as if he had been found and reluctantly explained:
"As you can see, Your Majesty ordered me to come to Lin Yang because I had other things to investigate secretly, but I didn't expect to be made difficult by the prefect in every way.
Since your lordship thinks that I am a collaborator and traitor, there is nothing to say, just wait for Your Majesty to decide! ”
Seeing his tough attitude, Governor Zhang was even more convinced of his identity, and his hands trembled suddenly.
If I had known that he was His Majesty's person, I would not have done anything to him anyway!
His Majesty's cronies must have a background and identity that others do not know, and he reported to the imperial court that this person had collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country or died of illness in Lingnan, even if it was for his secret mission, His Majesty would definitely investigate thoroughly.
When the time comes, it will be found out that it was his own hand, and His Majesty and Jiang Guangyao will definitely not let him go!
Governor Zhang was already shocked into a cold sweat when he thought of this, he wiped his forehead, glad that he was lucky and found the gold medal before Jiang Fu arrived, otherwise he was afraid that he would not know how he died!
"It's that the lower officials don't know Mount Tai with eyes, but I don't know what His Majesty asked you to come to? There is no place to bother His Majesty in this Lingnan, right? ”
Chen Jian thought for a while, unsure whether he was worried that he was going to check on him, or if he was not completely assured of his statement.
If he thinks that he is here to check on him, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not jump off the wall in a hurry under the weakness of his heart, so he said half-truthfully:
"Your Majesty received a secret report that the first emperor had a young son who was living in Lingnan, so he sent me to find someone.
Very few people know about this matter, so it is better not to ask in detail about the prefect. ”
The royal secret is naturally not publicized, seeing that Chen Jian'an even knows this kind of secret, and his identity must not be faked, Zhang Zhifu immediately put on a smiling face and got up and complimented:
"That's natural, there must be some misunderstanding about collaborating with the enemy, it's better for Lord Chen to have a good rest first, and then I will bring a dog to make amends to my lord tomorrow!"
Governor Zhang just wants to turn the page on this matter now, Chen Jian'an is noncommittal about it, it seems that he is still in a hurry to revenge, but this performance is normal.
Governor Zhang was thinking about how to appease him tomorrow, when he heard the housekeeper running in from outside in a panic to report:
"My lord, it's not good, the officials and people of Lin Yang are dragging their families and blocking our city gates, shouting for us to open the city gate to save our lives!"
