Chapter 220: Pacifying and Turning the Face (Grand Chapter)

Oh my god, I feel like I'm dying so suddenly.... Xu Qi'an's current state is like staying up for 72 hours and then being forced to run a thousand meters.

The heart is pounding wildly, teetering on the verge of overload.

Fortunately, the foundation he laid in the Refining Realm is very solid, and his body is extremely tough and durable, if he were replaced by his previous life, I am afraid that he would have lined up at the funeral home... No, it should have been as early as the fourth or fifth day of the Liver Explosion Immortal Cultivation, and he had already left with a smile.

"At least in exchange for the attention of the other party, you can communicate well... What I hate the most is non-violent non-cooperation, everyone be gentle, sit down and drink tea, and chat, isn't it?" Xu Qi'an thought in his heart, pretending to be light on the surface, and said loudly:

"General Xu, do you know what case Yang Chuannan was involved in?"

Xu Huchen bowed his head and said in a low voice: "This matter has long spread in the Yunzhou officialdom, but the commanders have been wronged. ”

"If you are wronged or not, it doesn't matter if you say it. It doesn't matter what the governor said, you have to check it to find out. Xu Qi'an patiently explained:

"The Governor is here for this case, and we do have evidence that is extremely unfavorable to Lord Yang, but the Governor has not made a reckless judgment, and has gone to the capital to command the embassy to verify the evidence.

"Lord Xu didn't care about it, and brought 3,000 soldiers and horses to the city, this is to force Lord Yang to his death. ”

Xu Huchen snorted coldly: "You don't wear a hat for this general, last night, the commander of the envoy sent a secret report, the governor led the team to storm the mansion of the commander, Lord Yang was hit hard by a golden gong and was dying."

"Even if Lord Yang is really guilty, it will be a triage of the three divisions, if you don't go to court and break into the mansion privately, don't you just want to be beaten into a trick. ”

You know a fart, this is called the speed of the soldiers, and they don't give the other party a chance to react.... If Yang Chuannan is really the mastermind behind the scenes, then he has rebelled now.

"The governor does things, he has his own rules, I know you are not afraid of death, but I still have to remind General Xu, if you want to admonish the army, you can. But don't act impulsively, three thousand soldiers and horses can't overturn the White Emperor City, let alone Yunzhou. ”

After Xu Qi'an finished speaking, seeing Xu Huchen's eyes wide, he seemed to be irritated by his words, and he added leisurely:

"But you have to think about it for Lord Yang, he is still in the post station, and he has not been guilty of the crime of eight characters, and General Xu is going to give him an early sentence?"

Xu Huchen frowned, he did have some hesitation, not as impulsive and violent as just now.

"You see, the case has not been investigated clearly, and General Xu is like this. When the governor reported to the imperial court, he said that Yang Chuannan had self-respect for his troops and threatened with force.... When the time comes, it will not be the governor. After Xu Qi'an finished threatening, he reassured:

"General Li and the commander of the capital are incompatible, you don't believe my words, but you always believe her words. ”

Seeing that both sides were looking at themselves, Li Miaozhen said in a deep voice: "The current situation is indeed unfavorable to the commanders, but the military admonition is not the right way. General Xu, don't be impulsive, give the governor a little time. ”

Yang Chuannan and her are comrades-in-arms, and Li Miaozhen's heart is naturally towards Yang Chuannan, but there must be rules to solve the problem, and if the military advice is useful, Li Miaozhen has already tried.

But the problem is no, the commander can only mobilize the "Wei Command Envoy" under the jurisdiction of the White Emperor City, and the guards of the rest of the prefectures and counties in Yunzhou are managed by the Commander of the Embassy, but the Commander does not have the power to command the battle, and every time there is a war, the imperial court is a temporary general.

It is precisely because of various restrictions that Li Miaozhen's Feiyan Army came into being.

With only the three or five thousand soldiers and horses of the "Commander of the Guard", they could not shake the authority of the governor at all, and they sacrificed in vain.

"Hmph! General Ben can wait, but if Governor Zhang can't give me a satisfactory answer, even if General Ben agrees, the thousands of brothers under him won't agree. Xu Huchen softened in disguise.

Call... That's it! Xu Qi'an breathed a sigh of relief.

When encountering this kind of contradiction, we must not be impulsive, but know how to make peace with the mud. Do it like other watchmen, and this thing will be troublesome.

Detective Xu Bai instinctively resists war, which will kill many people. And this does not have to be solved by war.

As for how to deal with it in the future, I will leave it to the governor to have a headache.

....

On the other side, they all command the envoys.

Governor Zhang, who had just finished the reconciliation, was still in a state of anger, slapping the table at the officials and scolding: "Waste, all are waste."

"Then Yang Chuannan should be damned, even if he is not the mastermind behind the scenes, this charge of dereliction of duty can make him exile as a soldier.

"You too, you all command the envoy to deliver military supplies to the mountain bandits, the amount is so appalling, the entire Yunzhou officialdom is unaware of it? ”

After reconciliation, it was shocking to find that nearly a quarter of the military supplies sent by the Ministry of Industry to Yunzhou every year were missing. This includes crossbows, gunpowder, firearms, iron ore, and more.

The officials lowered their heads, silently bearing the spit splash of Governor Zhang, and did not dare to speak back.

After spitting out the fragrance, Governor Zhang took a sip of the teacup, and was about to start the second half when the sound of hurried footsteps came from outside.

A gong broke in without notice, and said in a loud voice:

"Lord Governor, the White Emperor City has jurisdiction over the Wei Division, and the Wei commander Xu Huchen led three thousand soldiers and horses to gather outside the southern city, threatening that if you don't let people go, they will enter the city. ”

Entering the city is a euphemism, but it is actually a siege.

Governor Zhang stood up in shock, and there was a commotion among the more than ten officials present.

"When did it happen, and what is the situation now?" asked Governor Zhang.

"Then Xu Huchen said wildly, let you go to see him in half an hour, the hour has already passed..."

"Xu Qi'an and the ranger general Li Miaozhen went out of the city to negotiate, and the situation is currently unknown. ”

Governor Zhang's scalp was numb, he didn't expect the army in Yunzhou to be so strong and unruly.

At this moment, the mood is both shocked and angry, and at the same time anxious and worried.

Although Xu Ningyan solved the case well, Governor Zhang knew that he was a fledgling boy and didn't even have much experience in killing, let alone dealing with an unreasonable army.

"Who let him go, who let him go?"

Governor Zhang slapped the table and roared.

The gong pouted, "It's Xu Ningyan who insists on coming out, originally according to the meaning of the silver gongs, he took Yang Chuannan to defend the city together and wait for support."

Xu Ningyan also said that he would shoulder the responsibility. ”

In all fairness, Xu Ningyan's strategy is more prudent and correct. In response to a mutiny by soldiers, the imperial court usually took appeasement measures and then beheaded the leader to set an example.

If you can, try not to move the sword.

However, in Governor Zhang's view, this is obviously beyond the scope of Xu Ningyan's business ability.

"Lord Song, immediately notify the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division, gather troops and rush to the south city. All the officials of the yamen were dispatched to maintain law and order in the city..."

Governor Zhang quickly made arrangements, panicked but not chaotic, reflecting the quality that a governor should have.

......

"Drive, drive..."

Governor Zhang rode his horse and galloped, and an old bone was almost thrown apart, and he didn't even dare to complain about Jiang Luzhong, because the cold wind would pour in, and he only dared to shout a few "drives".

Originally, in Governor Zhang's arrangement, Jiang Luzhong should be the first to rush to Nancheng, and a four-grade golden gong is the most suitable for the town.

However, Jiang Luzhong was as steady as a dog, and refused to leave the governor's side, fearing that the governor's dog life would be taken away by a possible assassin, so he sent a blood with honor.

Jiang Lu was also worried in the center, but it was not worried about the siege of the Wei Si army, but about the life of Xu Ningyan's kid.

As a golden gong who has been on the battlefield, he knows very well the difficulty and unreasonableness of the army, don't look at Xu Qi'an's majesty in the capital, and he once killed people at the gate of the criminal department.

In fact, it is precisely because it is in the capital that the court bosses can cast a rat trap.

This is Yunzhou, Yunzhou with serious banditry. But anyone who ties his head to the waistband of his trousers, regardless of whether the bandits are still soldiers, none of them are soft persimmons.

If you don't agree with each other, you may draw a knife and cut someone.

Gradually, approaching Nancheng, Jiang Luzhong's ears moved slightly, and he listened attentively for a moment, and said with relief: "Lord Governor, don't be in such a hurry, slow down." ”

Governor Zhang didn't want to speak, so he took Jiang Luzhong's words as wind in his ears and ignored them.

"The war didn't start. Jiang Luzhong said.

Well?

Governor Zhang was stunned for a moment, but sure enough, he reduced his speed, reined in the reins, and changed his wild run to a trot.

"Really?"

"Hmm. ”

Jiang Luzhong is a high-grade martial artist, and if there is a fierce battle outside the city, he can sense it.

"It seems that the situation is relatively stable. Governor Zhang breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at Xu Qi'an with admiration: "Is it Xu Ningyan who stabilizes the situation?"

Jiang Luzhong shook his head: "When you go to Nancheng, you will naturally know." ”

After half a pillar of incense, they saw the outline of the city wall, Governor Zhang squinted, and the city defense army at the head of the city was like a great enemy, and there were soldiers ready in front of the crossbows and artillery.

Governor Zhang grabbed the horse's belly, galloped away, stopped at the side of the city wall, lifted the hem of the official robe, and climbed the steps in a hurry.

The crimson official robe symbolizes his identity, and no one dares to stop him.

"Your Excellency, you're here. ”

The moment the thousand-eyed Qianhu with the national character face and triangular eyes saw Governor Zhang, he felt that the big stone in his heart was finally put down, and he let out a long breath.

Governor Zhang, who was still anxious when he was in a hurry, when he reached the top of the city, he restrained all his emotions, his face was majestic and expressionless.

He stood at the head of the city and watched for a while, and commanded, "Let me go down with a hanging basket." ”

Qianhu said: "Let's open the city gate directly, and the gong and the ranger general just now went out from the city gate." ”

Monkey business... The corners of Governor Zhang's mouth twitched: "If the soldiers and horses of the Wei Division really have the intention of attacking the city, the city gate has already been lost." ”

Qianhe immediately bowed his head.

"No hanging basket, I'll take the governor down. Jiang Luzhong pressed Governor Zhang's shoulder, and the next moment, Governor Zhang's eyes were full of flowers, and he came to the outside of the city, only ten zhang away from Xu Qi'an and others.

Xu Qi'an, on his side, also noticed Jiang Luzhong and Governor Zhang. Everyone's expressions were different, Li Miaozhen's expression remained the same, and Xu Qi'an's tense face was slightly relaxed.

Xu Huchen instantly tensed his body, and the hand holding the lance tightened.

The governor is not terrible, but the golden gong who is following him is terrible.

Governor Zhang said in a loud voice: "Xu Huchen, get off the horse and speak." ”

Xu Huchen frowned, clenched the lance again, and after weighing, he hung the lance on the horse hook and greeted Governor Zhang with empty hands.

"Lord Governor!" Xu Huchen clenched his fists.

"What a big bold. Governor Zhang sneered, "Today, even if I let Jiang Jinluo kill you on the spot, I can still suppress the three thousand soldiers behind you." ”

Xu Huchen did not speak.

"Saying a thousand ways and ten thousand, don't you just want to save Yang Chuannan. The official asked you, if Yang Chuannan really committed a capital crime, can you save it?"

"Lord Yang is innocent. ”

"The official only asks you, to save or not to save. ”

"Save!"

Governor Zhang laughed: "Sure enough, it's a bloody man, and this official appreciates you." It is too early to draw conclusions about Yang Chuannan's case. Since you believe in Lord Yang's character, the official also assures you that as long as Yang Chuannan is innocent, the official will definitely return his innocence. ”

After a pause, Governor Zhang suddenly turned his face and said sharply: "But you bring troops privately, and the army is under the city, it is a capital crime!"

Xu Huchen clenched his fists reluctantly: "Humble duty... Guilty, as long as the governor can return Lord Yang's innocence, the humble position is at the disposal of the adult. ”

"That's it, I don't think you are acting recklessly, as long as you lead the team back to the barracks, this official will not be guilty of the past. "Governor Zhang is very tolerant.

"Since the governor has made a promise, then the humble position will believe your lordship. Xu Huchen got the answer he wanted, turned his head, and bowed slightly to Xu Qi'an.

Fortunately, thanks to this gong, the matter did not deteriorate to the point of no return.

Xu Huchen led the team to make trouble, and what he wanted was a result, or a promise. I am afraid that the governor from the capital will wronged the commander for the sake of merit.

At the moment, the governor has made a promise, and the case is still under investigation, and the commander has not yet been convicted.

The results are already good.

Next, Governor Zhang comforted him with a pleasant face and assumed the posture of Corporal Lixian. This flattered Xu Huchen.

The big boss is like this, he doesn't frown when he fights on the battlefield, but once others ask for warmth, they will be grateful and can't be fierce.

Especially a high-ranking official of Governor Zhang's status.

In the end, everyone was happy, and Xu Huchen gave an explanation to the soldiers. Governor Zhang resolved the military advice and did not cause chaos.

.......

On the way back to the post station on horseback, Governor Zhang praised Xu Qi'an, "You know people's hearts well and know how to resolve contradictions." Ning Yan, you have made meritorious service again. ”

Xu Qi'an waved his hand and did not pick up the stubble, because he was too tired and lost interest in talking.

Li Miaozhen did not follow back to the post station, and took her private soldiers back to the barracks.

Jiang Luzhong frowned and said, "Lord Governor's plan to delay the army can only be used for a while. ”

Governor Zhang sneered: "This official knows, Jiang Jinluo, you go to the Wei Si military camp at night and invite Xu Huchen and other generals to the city, and say that this official has a secret matter to discuss, and it is a case related to the commander of the envoy." ”

Xu Qi'an's heart sank.

Governor Zhang said lightly: "After being brought out of the barracks, all of them will be killed, and no one will be left." ”

"Your Excellency..."

Looking at Governor Zhang, who turned his face when he said that he would turn his face, Xu Qi'an was like eating a dead mouse, and it was difficult to describe his mood at this time.

Governor Zhang didn't seem to hear it, and continued: "Without the person who takes the lead, ordinary soldiers are just a plate of loose sand, and a little appeasement will be enough. Yang Chuannan's henchmen are also the three or five thousand soldiers and horses of the Wei Division. Solve this hidden danger and deal with Yang Chuannan, there is no worries. ”

However, there is clearly something else hidden in this case. Xu Qi'an said in a deep voice.

"That's another thing, if you can find out, the official will return Yang Chuannan's innocence. But Xu Huchen's heart of mutiny was resolute, and the official must strangle the signs in the cradle. Governor Zhang said quietly:

"I will send people to gather troops and horses from various guards in Yunzhou, there will be no next time for such a thing. ”

The governors had the power to mobilize the armies of each David.

After explaining, Governor Zhang glanced at Xu Qi'an and sneered: "Ning Yan, Ci is not in charge of the army, whether it is the court or the battlefield, if you hesitate, you will be defeated." If you are soft-hearted, you will harm others and yourself. ”

I understand everything..... Xu Qi'an sighed silently.

Jiang Luzhong had experienced ups and downs, without the slightest wave, and asked: "Mobilize the soldiers and horses of the various guards, is the governor trying to take advantage of this incident to suppress the Yunzhou officialdom?"

Governor Zhang nodded slowly: "If Yang Chuannan is not the mastermind behind the scenes, then the one behind the scenes is in the city, and the officials above the fourth rank are suspected." The official took precautions to prevent the other party's dog from jumping off the wall in a hurry. ”

Returning to the post station, after drinking a bowl of tea, the tiger guard on duty at the door came in and said: "Lord Governor, Song Bu political envoy and other adults ask to see you." ”

Governor Zhang retired from the idle people and others, and met with the officials in the hall, who were here for Yang Chuannan's case.

"Now that the evidence in this case is conclusive, I hope that the governor will make a decision as soon as possible. Song Bu said.

The Yunzhou prefect and other officials echoed one after another.

"Forcing the Palace" is coming... Xu Qi thought with peace of mind.

If the masterminds behind the scenes are among these people, it is not difficult to understand the behavior of inciting officials to force the palace after Governor Zhang has examined the evidence.

But I'm in a hurry...

As soon as Wei Si's army withdrew, he couldn't wait to force Governor Zhang to close the coffin of the case, which really didn't seem like the operation of a scheming person.

It can only show that Liang Youping has no clues, so that the other party is on pins and needles, and he can't wait to push Yang Chuannan out as a scapegoat immediately.

The more anxious you are, the easier it is to show your feet.... Jiang Jinluo killed Xu Huchen and other generals, and then mobilized the soldiers and horses of various guards to come over, so that the governor could rest easy and play with the masterminds behind the scenes. So, it's enough to stall for now .... Xu Qi'an's thoughts flickered.

Sure enough, Governor Zhang agreed to the officials' request, but deduced that Yang Chuannan would be interrogated again today, and the division would be interrogated again tomorrow.

Anyway, let's drag the day over first.

After sending everyone away, Governor Zhang drank tea and said with emotion: "There is not much time left for us. ”

Killing Xu Huchen is to stabilize the line of Yang Chuannan, and mobilizing troops and horses is to stabilize the line behind the scenes. After all, once the case is revealed, the other party will definitely be solved.

Xu Qi'an groaned: "When Jiang Jinluo finishes his work tonight, we can let people disguise themselves as Liang Youping and lead the snake out of the hole." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the tiger guard on duty came in again and said, "Lord Governor, there is a group of dart masters who claim to be from the Fushun Dart Bureau outside the door, saying that they want to see the Lord Governor. ”

"Fushun Dart Bureau?" Governor Zhang frowned, having no impression of the name of this dart game.
