109 The Problem of Returning to the City (2)
Liu Fangyuan regarded himself as a gentleman, but he was very dissatisfied with my bad reputation in the empire, and now he said lightly that since I had already married a foreign leader, why should I come back.
I listened to it and my heart shook slightly, my wedding with Tang Rick was indeed grand, but the Youta clan had a bad relationship with anyone, and it was not announced to the world at that time, and there should not be many people in the empire who knew about it.
Thinking like this, I chuckled: "Who told Childe that I was already married." ”
Liu Fangyuan also laughed: "Is it possible that the little lady still expects no one to know about such a thing?"
"Whether someone knows or no one knows, does it have anything to do with the problems we are facing at the moment?"
Liu Fangyuan still wanted to say something, but hesitated, as if giving up, and said: "That's it, the little lady is going to tell me, what do you want to do?" Right now, City Lord Zhou has given an order, once you find your traces, arrest them immediately, it's not so easy to enter the city." ”
Speaking Liu Fangyuan briefly told me about the current situation in Linbo City, it turned out that Liu Fangyuan was originally a wealthy businessman in the city, and when he followed his family to do business in the early years, he met Qin Yuefeng by chance, and later returned to his home, and found that Qin Yuefeng was the nephew of the lord of Zhou City, and the officials and businessmen were already closely connected.
I saw that Liu Fangyuan's expression was a little tired, so I asked, "Has something happened in the city recently?"
Liu Fangyuan sighed and said: "The city lord of Zhou is preparing food, but he is fighting all day long, where is there still food to be requisitioned, and the land has long been barren." ”
"Food is a big problem, no matter when, cultivation must not stop, the city lord of Zhou has not been in the position of the city lord for a day or two, and he will not even understand this truth. I said.
"That's right," Liu Fangyuan said, "But in the past two years, the Youta clan has made people panic, and there is even a plague infestation, and the people can run, and the rest have no intention of farming." ”
The people do not grow food, but everyone eats food.
"The granary is running out of food, and all the grain that can be borrowed has been borrowed, and if there is no more food, not only will the people make trouble, but the tens of thousands of city guards will revolt. Liu Fang said from afar.
"There is no food left in Limbo," I thought, "what ...... Where did the supplies for the Qin family army come from?"
After I finished speaking, Wei Cheng and Liu Fangyuan both looked at me with serious faces, and I suddenly realized that I might have said the point.
Wei Cheng, who hadn't spoken for a long time, said in a low voice: "The supply of the Qin family's army from Linbo City has been cut off for nearly a month, but General Zhao He has allocated a batch of them, and it doesn't hurt for a short time, but it's not a long-term solution." ”
I nodded and said, "In that case, is the City Lord of Zhou unwilling to borrow grain from Qin Yuefeng even at the risk of the people's uprising?"
"This is one thing," Liu Fangyuan said, "borrowing grain from General Qin is equivalent to the entire Linbo City taking refuge in the Qin army, this is not a joke." ”
"What did Qin Yuefeng say?!"
Liu Fangyuan said: "General Qin said that the little lady must have a way. ”
I said in my heart that Qin Yuefeng really looked up to me, and he didn't reveal any news to me before he came, I really don't know if he deliberately tested me.
I thought about it for a moment, and suddenly I had some ideas.
The Qin family's army can't hold out for a few days, so I have to make a decision in these few days.
"Isn't Zhou Lie afraid that the people will make trouble?" I said to Liu Fangyuan: "Tell your people to start a move, tell the people to make trouble quickly, and it is best to surround the City Lord's Mansion for me." ”
Liu Fangyuan was taken aback: "Isn't Linbo City, which has finally stabilized, chaotic again?"
"It's just going to be messy. I said, "Do you think that the common people care about their homeland and country? ”
I grew up hard, I know too well what it's like to not be able to eat, and when I'm hungry, whoever gives me a mouthful of dry food will be grateful to someone, and my kindness can be remembered for a lifetime.
Liu Fangyuan was obviously a little hesitant, turned his head to look at Wei Cheng, and saw that Wei Cheng was silent, so he resigned himself to his fate: "Okay, I'll arrange it, don't end up with it." ”
After Liu Fangyuan left, Wei Chengfang said: "Girl, Linbo City is the border of the empire, and the people here are fierce, different from ordinary people, and they can govern the people here, and Zhou Lie is not so easy to be swayed." ”
I saw that Wei Cheng rarely said a few words from the heart, so I responded: "Thank you Brother Wei for reminding me, I understand that it is not easy, but tens of thousands of people in the army are waiting for dinner, I am afraid that there is no way to take my time, let's take one step at a time." ”
Wei Cheng nodded, and when he was about to retreat, I stopped him: "Brother Wei, please help us get two sets of men's clothes, it's more convenient." ”
"I've already prepared it, and I'll send it to the girl later. ”
Wei Cheng was really thoughtful, and I silently admired it in my heart.
After a while, Wei Chengran brought two sets of men's clothes, and I asked Cicada Ming to rearrange the clothes, and Cicada Ming said strangely: "Sister, do you still need to wear men's clothes when you go to see City Lord Zhou?"
I smiled and said, "Naturally, you don't need it, this is what we will use after we enter the city, you can put it away first." ”
Liu Fangyuan's work efficiency was very fast, and that night, when I was asleep in a daze, I heard a noisy sound in the distance.
"Sister!" the cicada woke up and tugged at me, "Did you hear that?"
I was shaken up by her, and I was frowning and listening to my ears when there was a knock at the door.
"Girl," Wei Cheng said softly outside the door, "Liu Gongzi handed over the news, saying that there is already a group of people who are going to leave the city gate." ”
"Hmm......" I was so sleepy that I couldn't open my eyes, trying to stay awake and responded: "Is there any news from Zhou Lie?"
"The city lord of Zhou filmed the city guards confronting the people, but there was no one on the side. ”
"Tell Liu Fangyuan, don't coax his people, as long as it doesn't reach the point of fighting, make a fuss, and the bigger the momentum, the better. I said, "Be careful not to hurt the people." ”
After speaking, I twisted my head and then fell asleep again, Wei Cheng didn't respond, presumably he had already gone down to make arrangements, and the two eyes of the cicada were shining with excitement: "Sister, aren't we going to take a look?"
I was so shaken by the sound of cicadas that I rolled my eyes, and said in my heart that after two days of jolting on the carriage, why is this girl still so energetic.
couldn't help but raise his hand and grab her dangling arm, and said angrily: "Good sister, let my sister rest for a while, let them make trouble first, let's go and see it when they become famous." ”
It's been like this for two days, Liu Fangyuan's courage is really small, he will probably send someone to send Wei Cheng more than 20 times a day to inform him of the progress in the city, and he can't wait for anyone to let us know if he shouts loudly.
"Where did Qin Yuefeng get acquainted with such a person," I took the Nth note sent by Liu Fangyuan's subordinates, and said in my heart that this mother-in-law's mother-in-law doesn't match Qin Yuefeng's painting style, so how did she become a close friend.
"Liu Gongzi has great kindness to General Qin. Wei Cheng said lightly, but he didn't continue after saying this.
This made me scratch my ears and cheeks, and I asked urgently, "And then?"
Wei Cheng had a non-relenting expression on his face.
He didn't seem to want to talk about his master, and after being questioned by me for a long time, he only said that Liu Fangyuan was a person who cared about the people.
Well, he's a man who cares about the people, but I, a wicked man, is going to make some trouble for the people.
I called Wei Cheng over and said, "Brother Wei, send a few of our people into the city, get a few sets of clothes for the city guards to wear, and then find those people who took the lead in making trouble and beat them up." ”
Wei Cheng's brows furrowed when he heard my words: "Beat the people?"
I sighed and said, "How can you really beat the people, you see that the few people who took the lead in making trouble are not all Liu Fangyuan's people pretending, just beat those few, but let the other real people look like Zhou Lie's city guards, hurting people." ”
Wei Cheng nodded and just wanted to leave, but I stopped him again and admonished, "Don't let Liu Fangyuan know." ”
After the matter was arranged, the movement in Linbo City suddenly became much bigger, as if they poured gasoline on torches, and the people of Linbo City, who were originally fierce by nature, heard that the city guards who had sworn to protect them began to beat people, and they rose up one after another, and surrounded Zhou Lie's City Lord's Mansion with the guys.
So it didn't take long for Liu Fangyuan himself to break in with red eyes and a menacing attitude.
"You, you demon girl, what have you done?!" he seemed to be really angry, and the already very thin person looked like he was shaking.
Liu Fangyuan's style of acting is a gentleman, even if there are some literati general sourness, but it can also be said to be polite, even if he heard the rumors and regarded me as a disaster on the day he first met, he didn't say anything ugly, but as soon as he entered the door today, he directly called me a demon girl, which shows that it is indeed not light.
I hurriedly asked the cicada to pour him a cup of hot tea and asked him to sit down, how could he listen, and I had to give him an explanation when the table was slammed.
"Liu Gongzi dissipated his anger, it was my fault to hurt a few of you, but Brother Wei's people are serious, and it will be good to raise them for half a month. ”
"The injury can be healed, but what about those rumors?" Liu Fangyuan said angrily: "Originally, it was just a few people who saw a little blood, but within two days, the whole city was crazy about the city guards slaughtering the people, this rumor spreads, and Linbo City is about to be in chaos!
Liu Fangyuan's eyes were red, as if he hadn't rested for a long time, and he said in a dumb voice: "Do you know what the consequences will be?" After that, he shook his head with a wry smile, as if laughing at himself: "It's me who is so stupid that I really believe in you, a demon girl, if Linbo City is in chaos, what kind of peace can you talk about in the world." ”
I said in my heart that Liu Fangyuan is obviously a businessman, and the business is still so big, so always so awkward mother-in-law, I really don't want to listen to him talk about his family and country, I care more about how Zhou Lie responds.
"What's Zhou Lie's reaction?" I asked hurriedly.
"Hmph," Liu Fangyuan's eyes were full of indifference: "The little lady has good skills, and the city lord of Zhou is invited." ”
The Liu family is a big family in Linbo City, and Zhou Lie also knows the relationship between Liu Fangyuan and Qin Yuefeng, this little trick I played, Zhou Lie, an old fox, can figure it out without a few turns, and it is inevitable to find Liu Fangyuan's head.
"Let's go," I waved at the cicada, "and let's go into town." ”
