Li Yingxiang heard Ji Qianyun say this, and his heart was filled with joy. With military rations, as soon as the commander of the military department arrives, he will be able to make meritorious contributions. For Luo Jiutian's life, he didn't care about it at all.

The jade horse that Luo Jiutian gave him at the beginning had already been hidden. He longed for Luo Jiutian to be dragged out immediately and beheaded, so that no one would reveal the matter of embezzlement of ink.

Xu Yuantai's heart jumped suddenly, and since he took the poison given by Luo Jiutian, he was not frightened for a day.

Xin said: "As soon as Luo Jiutian dies, my life will follow." In any case, it is considered the best policy to take this person from the hands of King Duan first. ”

Suddenly, he thought about it, "King Duan must have a plan, how can he easily hand over people." He moved his gaze to Ji Qianyun's face and continued to listen to him.

Ji Qianyun said: "The second dish may be later, and the third dish prepared by the prince for you is called the peace of the world." ”

Lu Wannian drank a glass of wine and said, "It's a good world to be peaceful." Lord Wang, please come to our brothers, bring the prisoners back to our brothers, and we don't care about the other things, it is indeed peaceful in the world. ”

King Duan smiled and said: "Everyone is the food of the king, and the worry of the king." Heqing Haiyan, the world is the best. ”

Suddenly, he changed his words and asked, "However, this king has smoothed this matter for you, how can you thank this king?"

Lu Wannian's eyebrows furrowed and said, "What does the prince want?"

King Duan smiled and said, "Lord Lu, what if your people want to pour dirty water on this king?"

The corners of Lu Wannian's eyes twitched, his face changed slightly, and he smiled instead: "Jinyiwei has always received the grace of the Holy Lord, and the Holy Lord has taken great care of the prince, how dare our subordinates touch the tiger beard of the prince?"

The two looked at each other, stayed for a long time, and suddenly looked at each other and smiled. Duan Wang said: "If Lord Lu wants, I will naturally give it to you." I want and hope that Lord Lu will take care of it. Lu Wannian said: "Okay, Pei Zheng, let's go and escort the criminals." He got up and left.

After the Jinyi guard's people left, King Duan looked at Xu Yuantai again and said, "Lord Governor, how do you plan to thank this king?"

Xu Yuantai said: "Then what does the prince want from me?" Zhou Guanghao sneered: "The prince keeps saying that he is worried about the saint, how can he care about it now?"

Ji Qianyun stood up and said, "Lord Zhou, now that the prince is talking to the governor, how can you intervene?"

These words are undoubtedly in the way of the other. Zhou Guanghao's eyes widened, he was furious, stood up and pointed at Ji Qianyun and said, "You ......" Xu Yuantai waved his hand to Zhou Guanghao and said, "Guoyong, you sit down." ”

Duan Wang said: "Lord Zhou has an upright temperament, and this king admires him very much." Mr. Ji, sit down too. Your Excellency, the king is asking you for tax money. ”

Xu Yuantai said with a smile: "The prince can't understand what he said, and I ask the prince to explain the words." ”

King Duan picked up a glass of wine, looked at the wine glass and said lightly: "This Sichuan has been affected by disasters for many years, and this king has donated a lot of money and grain." And the daily expenses of this palace are very huge, and I want you to divide the tax and silver obtained from Sichuan into 30% and laugh at the king of Naben. ”

When Zhou Guanghao heard this, he angrily rushed up and scolded loudly: "Taxation is under the control of the household department. The annual tax and silver collected are determined by the emperor and the cabinet, so how can they be said to change it?

Every increase in taxes is tantamount to pressing a heavy mountain on the heads of the people. The prince has thousands of acres of fertile land and thousands of mansions, how can he compete with the people for profit?

You are the prince of the Ming Dynasty, and you should have worked for the welfare of the people of the Ming Dynasty. Now you keep saying that you are forcing the governor to be corrupt and pervert the law, what is your intention?"

His words were impassioned, and King Duan's face changed greatly after hearing this, and Xu Yuantai and Li Yingxiang's hearts hung in their throats. openly contradicted the emperor's relatives and relatives, and there were only a few people since the founding of the Ming Dynasty.

Duan Wang Ye laughed and said: "Lord Zhou wants to be my second sea pen holder in the Ming Dynasty?" (The sea pen holder is the nickname of Hai Rui at the time. ）

Zhou Guanghao said loudly: "Hai Gangfeng, for the country and the people, is a model for my Ming officials. What if I, Zhou Guanghao, follow in his footsteps?"

Luo Jiutian, who was sitting on the ground, said in his heart: "This person is upright, but he is a good man." I had calculated on him, and now I think I'm ashamed. ”

King Duan sneered: "It's a good step in his footsteps." This king shares your worries, and you should always think about this king. Since all the words have been said and done, then this king does not care about anything.

I advise the Governor to think about it, or else you will not want to go out of this door today. So saying, he drank another glass of wine, and put a piece of fish meat in his mouth.

Zhou Guanghao said sharply: "You dare to threaten the imperial court officials?"

King Duan said lightly: "Even if it is Jinyiwei, this king has his own way to make them obedient."

What you say is a court official, but if it is ugly, it is my Zhu family's dog. Does a dog still want to be majestic in front of his master?"

Xu Yuantai only broke out in cold sweat on his forehead, he stretched out his sleeve to wipe it, and said slowly: "Lord Wang, all you want the official to agree to is it." Please also ask the prince to calm his anger and forgive Guoyong's offense. ”

Zhou Guanghao hurriedly said: "Ruxian, we are also protégés of the Son of Heaven, how can you use the benefits of a country to make a deal with others?"

Xu Yuantai closed his eyes and sighed: "Guoyong, do we have any other choice now?"

If someone hears the loss of the prisoner, once Long Yan is angry, you and I will definitely be imprisoned. If your career is ruined, how can you benefit the people?"

Zhou Guanghao pointed at Xu Yuantai and scolded: "Ruxian, you are confused." If we are greedy for life and afraid of death, will we not put the people of the world on the chopping block and let others slaughter them?"

Xu Yuantai opened his eyes, raised his head to look at him and said: "Although the people of the world are important, there is no official and no government.

If we are just grass people, how can we be able to help the community? Only with the power in our hands can we help the world and save the people.

It's okay to be a scholar in a scholarly business, but it's still far from being an official. Guoyong, I am the governor of this province, and I will make decisions on everything. ”

At that moment, there was a burst of laughter above everyone's heads. Duan Wang said: "Who?" sneered, and there were a few soft sounds.

As soon as the lights in the room dimmed, Xiao Yunfan had already pointed at the two big men behind Luo Jiutian and reached out to pat the acupoints on his body.

In the dark, Ji Qianyun said in a deep voice: "Xiao Yunfan, you really arrived." I saw him take out the fire from his bosom, let out a sigh, and finger it in three directions.

The lights in the room turned on again, and Xiao Yunfan and Luo Jiutian stood side by side, each of them stretched out a hand and pressed it on Duanwang's shoulder.

Li Yingxiang opened his posture and protected Xu Erren, and the three of them looked at Duanwang with their eyes.

King Duan only felt that his limbs were numb, and he forced himself to calm down: "You are Xiao Yunfan?"

Xiao Yunfan stretched out his hand and chiseled a shudder on the back of his head, and laughed: "I'm not Xiao Yunfan, are you Xiao Yunfan?" ”

King Duan was angry and said with a red face: "You actually dare to beat this king." I think you're tired of it?"

Xiao Yunfan flicked two fingers at the back of his head again, and said slowly: "What if you beat you, Lao Tzu is not happy, take your head as a night pot."

Don't say that you are a prince, even if you are the Jade Emperor, now that you are fiddling with it in my hands, it is like this, what kind of majesty do you have?"

King Duan's face turned pale, and he puffed up angrily: "You...... You two are so bold, dare to hold this king hostage, aren't you afraid that this king will punish your nine clans?

As soon as the king gives the order, the ironclad guards outside will chop you into meat sauce. ”

Xiao Yunfan said to Luo Jiutian Da Nunu: "Tut-tut, big brother, you see that this king is really cute."

I can swagger into his Shu Palace, and his straw bale guards have already been put down for me. To this day, he is still like a goose. ”

Luo Jiutian smiled: "Okay, you kid loves to be poor." When you didn't show up, I was still in a cold sweat as a brother, I thought you had also fallen into the trap of Mr. Ji. ”

At this moment, King Duan's heart was in turmoil, and he said loudly: "You...... You are talking nonsense, how can you let go of the 3,000 soldiers in this king's palace alone?"

Xiao Yunfan patted him on the shoulder, and slowly learned his tone and said, "You...... You are wrong, all the 3,000 guards under your command were transferred to other places by this Mr. Ji to patrol. There are only a few guards under this Mochizuki Tower. ”

King Duan set his eyes on Ji Qianyun and said, "Mr. Ji, save this king." ”

Ji Qianyun looked at his palm and said coldly: "Why do I want to save you?" Duanwang's face sank and said, "You are in a group with him?"

Ji Qianyun put his hands behind his back and said: "I worked hard to lay out this game, and all the big fish tonight were finally baited." ”

King Duan looked at Xu Yuantai again and said, "Governor Xu, you save this king tonight, and the matter of tax and silver should be treated as if this king didn't say it." ”

After Xu Yuantai thought about it, he hurriedly said: "Lord Wang, these two people are strong in martial arts, and Benfu is only afraid that he can't do anything." ”

Xiao Yunfan patted the King of Shu on the shoulder and said slowly: "You better save your energy." As he spoke, he stared at Ji Qianyun and said, "The reason for such a big battle is to lure me out, which is too much to give Xiao someone face." ”

Ji Qianyun said: "You don't have to put gold on your face. As the saying goes: a rat poop spoils a pot of soup.

You are this rat, and the old man will send you on your way today. ”

Xiao Yunfan said lightly: "Now that this prince is in my hands, if you want to mess around, you have to be careful." ”

Ji Qianyun looked up to the sky and laughed: "Hahaha, do you really think that you can threaten me with such a fool?"

Xiao Yunfan's heart was shocked and said secretly: "Could it be that he wants to deceive me." After thinking about it, he said to King Duan: "Stupid prince, do you hear me?"

King Duan was taken aback and said, "Mr. Ji, the king who lost money trusts you so much, you want to betray this king?"

At that moment, the sound of fireworks bursting sounded outside the window. Ji Qianyun snorted coldly and said, "Hmph, you are also worthy of being my master." Xiao Yunfan, you can't fly tonight. ”

As he spoke, he took a few steps back, reached out and twisted one of the candlesticks in the room, the ceiling opened, and a huge iron cage fell from the roof to trap the group in it.

Ji Qianyun looked at Xiao Yunfan and stroked his beard and smiled: "Xiao Yunfan, everyone in the rivers and lakes says that you are extremely witty. But you're not going to die at my hands yet.

What prince, what governor, what inspector, what general soldier, will be wiped out tonight. ”

Xiao Yunfan immediately came to his senses and said: "The anti-book case was done by you, and its intention is to use the anti-book case to involve everyone in it.

In this way, everyone's hands will fall into your hands. This royal birthday banquet is your real purpose.

If I'm not mistaken, you are the leader of the 48th village in the southwest, and your real purpose is to raise troops to rebel. ”

When everyone heard this, their hearts sank, they never expected that this unsurprising Confucian was actually the leader of the forty-eight villages.

Ji Qianyun clapped his palms and smiled: "Wonderful, you are not too stupid after all."

Although you saw through it all, it's a pity that it's too late. I was looking for someone to plant gunpowder in the walls of this building a few months ago, and the fireworks rang out so loudly that you couldn't call for help, only a dead end.

Only you die tonight, and Sichuan will be in chaos. When Sichuan is in chaos and the dragons are leaderless, it is the best time for us to raise our troops. As he spoke, he took out a bamboo tube, pulled the fuse, and threw it on the ground. A pungent yellow smoke immediately wafted out of the bamboo tube.

Then he jumped out of the window, tiptoe a little on the tiles, and disappeared into the night.
