Well, once you calm down, you have a lot to think about.

Therefore, in the past two days, Lu Heng, the prefect of Yichang, has actually been in fear.

It's like a split personality.

Sometimes I believe that what I did is not wrong, and sometimes I think that I seem to be wrong.

There is no mistake because because Lu Heng is a court official who shoulders the responsibility of defending the land, how can he bend his knees to them because the Ming thief has held important officials of the court hostage and meet the unreasonable demands of the Ming thief!

Wrong, not because of fear of reprisals.

It was not that he was afraid that the families of the Manchurian generals who died because of him would accuse him of black affairs behind his back, but that he should not have been forced by his subordinates to agree to the demands of the Ming army against his will.

He should stay the course.

I regret it.

regretted that if Wang Jishu's people controlled him at that time, then the responsibility could be shifted to Wang Jishu afterwards!

After all, it was impossible for the court to punish him for refusing to support the enemy.

At least, not on the surface.

Now it's okay, fifteen Manchurians died, and what the Ming army wanted was given as usual.

What is this?

Not people inside and out!

What's more, among the fifteen Manchurian generals who died, there was a deputy capital commander of the Yellow Banner and an imperial family.

Hot-blooded, ignoring everything, the normal state of people.

Without blood, all kinds of consequences naturally come to mind.

After beating the Ming army away, Lu Heng's mental state was extremely poor, he was confused, he was listless in everything, and he was often distracted.

Seeing him like this, Master Zheng shook his head secretly, and packed his package two days ago without saying goodbye.

Not even a letter was left for the employer.

Knowing that his master had run away, Lu Heng was even more stimulated and wrote two letters.

One was addressed to the Yamen, the governor of Huguang, who said that he was persecuted by the general Wang Jinian, and asked the governor to write to the court to explain a thing or two.

One is for his wife who is far away in Shandong, and the letter asks his wife not to think of him, and Ansheng just needs to take care of several children.

After the two letters were written, Lu Heng's heart was a little settled, and he barely bothered to deal with the official documents.

No matter what the imperial court thought of this matter, as long as there was no official document for a day, he, the prefect, should do his best to maintain the affairs of the city.

The Ming army has marched east around Yichang, and if nothing else, the Ming army should have arrived at Jingzhou City at this time.

For some reason, Lu Heng actually thought that it would be good if Jingzhou could be as rival as himself.

Or they can't resist the pressure of the Ming army to behead Manchu and then refinance the enemy.

Even dozens of prefectures and counties in Huguang have encountered the same problems as him, and they have all made the same choice, which seems to be very beautiful.

The law does not hold the public accountable!

If all the officials in Huguang are like him Lu Heng, I am afraid that the imperial court will turn a blind eye.

With all these thoughts, Governor Lu attached great importance to Jingzhou, and sent several groups of people to Jingzhou to inquire about the situation.

On this day, a group of green cavalry suddenly drove outside the city.

There were about several hundred people, and the leader claimed to be Zheng Jukui, a staff officer of the Admiral Standard Battalion.

Because the Ming army pretended to be a Qing soldier to deceive the city, the battalion soldiers defending the city did not dare to open the city gate without permission, and sent someone to the yamen to invite the prefect over.

Lu Heng didn't dare to ask someone to open the city easily, so he asked Wang Jishu, the general of the green battalion who forced him to be an enemy, to go to the city to check.

They are all officials in a province, and they are all generals, Wang Jishu must have recognized Zheng Jukui under the command of the Admiral, so he ordered someone to open the city gate and let Zheng Bu in.

As a result, as soon as Zheng Jukui entered the city, he said that there was still an important person in his army.

It is the Lord Turge, the deputy capital of the Blue Banner of Manchuria!

However, it was never said that Master Turg had been captured by the Ming army, only that Tu Deputy Dutong was with him to supervise the pursuit of the Ming army.

Lu Heng had never seen Turge before, and when he saw that the deputy capital of Manchuria dared to be lazy, he hurriedly asked people to prepare wine and food for Master Tu and his party, and at the same time arrange accommodation.

Who knew that Tu Deputy Dutong had no requirements for accommodation, so he casually said to Lu Zhifu Dao to stay in his prefect's yamen for one night, and tomorrow he will lead the army to continue to pursue the Ming army.

It's not really a big deal.

Generally, the yamen occupies a large area, and there are naturally many houses, so it will definitely be no problem to vacate a few rooms and arrange for the deputy capital to stay for one night.

The problem is that Lu Heng did not take office alone, but brought a concubine to Yichang.

In addition, the year before last, he also accepted two more concubines in office, so it is not convenient to have female dependents in the backyard.

So he asked the general Zheng Jukui to talk to the deputy commander and give him half an hour to clean up the yamen house.

In fact, I wanted the three concubines to go to the inn to live, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble when they were seen by the deputy capital.

It's good to be an official in the Qing Dynasty, but it's not good - there are female dependents in the family who have to avoid some Manchurian adults.

Back then, at the level of Fan Wencheng, a university scholar, his wife was invited by the prince to play for a few months, and she went home with a big belly.

He, Lu Heng, is a fourth-grade prefect, and how dare he say no to the second-rank vice-governor.

Don't be afraid of 10,000, just in case.

Zheng Jukui was very good at talking, and immediately conveyed the meaning of the Lu Governor's Mansion to the deputy capital.

"Don't bother."

Who knew that Master Tu replied directly, and he stayed in the yamen for one night, and the people who led the army outside were not so particular.

It means that you don't have to clean up, just live there.

Master Tu said so, what else could Lu Heng say, so he had to nod and agree.

I secretly thought that it was enough to let the concubines inform the concubines not to come out of the house, and it was impossible for the deputy capital to really break into the backyard to harass the prefect's family.

At that moment, he took a group of officials under his command to welcome them into the yamen.

General Wang Shen was going to follow, but on the way, Zheng Jukui didn't know what to say to him, and the latter's face changed and he found an excuse to slip away.

Lu Heng, who was already angry with Wang Jinian, didn't care.

The banquet was placed in the second hall of the yamen.

The food and drinks are very rich, and the eating and drinking are quite pleasant.

Tu Deputy Dutong behaved very appropriately at the banquet, and he also praised Governor Lu between words.

Seeing that Tu Deputy Du Tong was so easy to speak, Lu Heng had the courage to tell what happened a few days ago.

"Xiaguan is by no means sitting back and watching the Manchurian generals martyred, it is true"

Lu Heng poured out his bitter water, which was nothing more than the responsibility of defending the land, in case the lives of the people in the whole city were ruined because of the opening of the city and the Ming army, he would be sorry for the court and sorry for the people.

"That's as it should be."

Tu Deputy Dutong affirmed that Lu Governor's Mansion's practice of not opening the city was right, and he also expressed his understanding that Lu Governor's Mansion could not resist the pressure to agree to the Ming Army's request.

After all, no one could afford the consequences of the death of a number of high-ranking Manchurian generals, including General Jingxi.

Pardonable.

Seeing that the deputy capital of the picture was so polite, the heart of Lu Zhifu couldn't help but let go a little.

After the banquet ended at the suggestion of Master Tu, it was said that it was necessary to pursue the Ming army tomorrow, not too late.

Of course, Lu Heng couldn't ask for it, so he ordered someone to take Master Tu and Zheng Shen and his party to rest.

He was also ready to rest, but before he could return to the backyard, the next person came to report that Tu Deputy Dutong had broken into the backyard and manipulated several wives of the prefect, which frightened the maids.

"It's broken!"

The slightly smoked Lu Heng was so anxious that he hurried to the backyard, hoping that the deputy would be able to restrain his face a little.

Although the backyard is his three-room concubine, how can she also be his own woman, if you want to make the deputy of the picture ruined, it will be rumored that his face as a prefect is not good-looking.

When I arrived in the backyard, I saw General Zheng Jukui standing there with a group of subordinates, talking and laughing.

The screams of the favorite concubines were heard in the courtyard.

Lu Heng stepped forward stubbornly, hoping that General Zheng Shen would be able to enter and persuade the deputy capital of Tu.

originally thought that Zheng Jukui would not offend Tu Deputy Dutong, but he didn't think that people would agree to it, and he went in to persuade him on the spot.

But after a while, he came out and shook his head and said that Master Tu might be drunk, and he was having fun right now, so he couldn't listen to persuasion.

"If Lord Tutong really wants a woman, the lower officials can go to the city to find some high-quality ones."

The screams of the concubine in his ears made Governor Lu's heart skip a beat.

After hearing this, Zheng Jukui thought about it and felt that this would be fine, so he went in again to intercede for Governor Lu.

This time, the deputy figures came out, and when the prefect of Lu met Manchurian, he said to Zheng Shen General Gollum.

Look at the face is not too good.

Zheng Jukui turned around and suddenly turned his face, and snorted angrily at the prefect of Lu: "Master Tu told you to get out of here, and then disturb his good deeds, I want you to look good!" ”

"You are too disagreeable, you are officials, and my lord is also an official"

Lu Er, the servant Lu Heng brought from his hometown, was a little confused, and he was so angry that he shouted when he saw his master being bullied like this.

But before he finished shouting, he saw a flash of the knife, and then fell to the ground with a scream of "plop".

It was Zheng Jukui who drew a knife and slashed at Lu Er's neck!

"Lord save me, save me"

Lu Er covered his neck and trembled, but the blood couldn't stop gushing out from between his fingers.

"Killed, killed!"

When the rest of the people in the courtyard saw it, they either ran out screaming, or they were paralyzed on the spot.

"You guys!"

Governor Lu also called this scene terrifying, the tragic situation of the loyal servant made him unable to control it anymore, and he didn't know where he got the courage to angrily point at Zheng Jukui: "If you dare to kill innocents indiscriminately, this official wants to send a copy to the imperial court!" ”

"Join me?"

Zheng Jukui seemed to have heard some funny joke, and looked at the dignified Yichang prefect coldly, as if this person was not a member of the fourth grade, but a dying person.

"Are you Lu Heng's enemy?"

Turg suddenly rushed to Lu Heng, who was trembling with anger, and waved his hand with a knife.

The sharp blade instantly slashed at Lu Heng's left shoulder.

With a scream, the prefect's left arm was neatly cut to the ground.

The blood at the severed arm spurted out like a fountain, frightening the few yamen subordinates who were standing there with their strength all screaming.

"Dog minion, how can the life and death of my Manchurians be determined by you, a Han official!"

Enraged, Turg stepped on Lu Heng's severed arm and slashed it again.

Knife in succession.

Until the Yichang prefect in a pool of blood remained motionless.

The anger in his chest was still unvented, staring viciously at the group of people who were sitting on the ground, and the murderous intent came to his heart for no reason.

However, for some reason, the killing intent slowly disappeared from his eyes.

In the end, in an extremely calm tone, he ordered Zheng Jukui, who was ready to lead the army to slaughter the city, and said: "The first evil has been punished, and the rest of the people in the city must not be violated." ”

"Huh?"

The order of the deputy commander of the figure made Zheng Jukui stunned for a long time: This is the end?

It's over.

Because all the pictures and deputies went to sleep.
