Chapter 396: Drumming
"Is Li Liangjin the opposite?"
In the lobby of the mansion, Li Xiuyuan sat on the main seat and pinched a piece of letter and frowned, and Li Linfu waited next to him, and below him were five ghost kings, ghosts and gods from all directions.
"Sage, it was Li Liangjin who took the lead in the rebellion, but there were four big leaders under his command, Lord Chenghuang said, those four leaders were not ordinary, and the first to attack the county was Shi Hu. A Yin soldier clasped his fists and saluted, and said respectfully.
"It's the old demon of Montenegro, he rebelled with Li Liangjin?" exclaimed the Son and Mother Ghost King.
Li Linfu squinted his eyes and said: "Childe, Shi Hu, this big demon is extraordinary, with him, it is not as simple as a simple rebellion." ”
"That's right, it's not easy to have a big demon involved, and since Song Shou Chenghuang said that the four leaders are not ordinary, I'm afraid that they are all non-human, I'm afraid that the big demon is changed, and the Tao is not weak Shi Hu, this is no longer a simple ghost and god matter, this matter needs to be known by that Fu Tianqiu, otherwise it will not be a problem to capture half of Yangzhou in a short period of time with their ability. Li Xiuyuan said.
At the same time, he was secretly frightened, no wonder the gods and Buddhas in the heavens had helped him before, it turned out that they had already known that this military disaster was not simple.
But the army of the imperial court can't be leveled, and it needs the help of ghosts and gods.
Li Linfu said: "I'm afraid that Fu Tianqiu won't believe the news from the ghosts and gods, and the news of the rebellion must be confirmed to be true before it can be reported. ”
It is true that officials will not report any rebellion if they are not very sure, and not only that, but if it is a small-scale rebellion, the officials will even hide it.
Why?
If there is a rebellion in the locality, are the local parents not responsible?
So this has caused a strange phenomenon, that is, after the imperial court knows the news of the rebellion, often the rebels have become the climate, even if the imperial court sends troops to quell the chaos, the price paid is also very large.
"Relying on the one-sided words of ghosts and gods is indeed not enough to convince Fu Tianqiu, he is a civil official, and he will not be confused in terms of right and wrong, if it is other small things, I can convince him, but I can't convince such a big thing. ”
Li Xiuyuan shook his head slightly and said, "It's best to bring a civil servant or official from the place where the rebellion occurred, even if it's a servant, with a witness, Fu Tianqiu has to believe it if he doesn't believe it." ”
"That's true. Li Linfu also nodded.
Li Xiuyuan sighed and said: "In the final analysis, my reputation is too low, if there is an official on me, I can personally report it to the imperial court, even if the imperial court is corrupt, but it will not even ignore the appearance of rebels, even the corrupt imperial court will definitely not be like this." ”
Li Linfu suddenly said in a low voice: "Childe, have you forgotten that you have begun to govern Yangzhou, the list of prefects and county orders in Yangzhou has been reported, why don't you dream and let them report to the court about the rebellion." ”
"It's reasonable, but it's not okay to give the officials a dream that is not a ghost and god, the long-tongued ghost king, you can do it. He was immediately taken abrupt by this reminder, and immediately ordered.
"Yes, the little ghost will do it. The long-bearded ghost king answered, and immediately turned into a yin wind and disappeared into the hall.
And at this time, suddenly Ma Dong walked outside and arched his hand: "Young Master, there is a person named Mao Wu wandering outside the door, saying that he was guided by ghosts and gods to come here to tell the rebels. ”
"Oh, there is such a thing?" Li Xiuyuan's expression moved slightly: "Let him in." ”
After a while, a man wearing a tattered military uniform and a somewhat pale face walked in with a worried expression, he looked left and right, but saw that the hall was empty, but he always felt that someone was staring at him secretly, which made people a little depressed and breathless.
"Met the hosts here. Mao Wu bowed his hand and said.
Li Xiuyuan said: "Are you Mao Wu, the defender of the county town captured by the rebels?"
"Yes, yes. Mao Wu said.
"The place of rebellion is hundreds of miles away from here, how did you get here?" Li Xiu said from afar.
Mao Wu truthfully told everything that happened before, and raised his neck and said: "Look, there is still a red thread on my neck, which was cut out by the thief head, if it wasn't healed by the ghosts and gods, I would be dead now." ”
"It's what Song Shou Chenghuang did, he was a showman when he was alive, and later became a doctor, and he knew some ghost and god medical skills. Li Linfu's voice sounded beside him.
Li Xiuyuan said, "I know the beginning and end of the matter, you can survive, in addition to your great fortune and great life, there is one more important thing that you need to do, now follow me." ”
"Go, where are you going?" said Mao Wu in trepidation.
"Come with me to the yamen and meet the squire of the military department. Li Xiuyuan stood up and said.
"Okay, okay. Mao Wu didn't refuse, just followed behind Li Xiuyuan honestly.
Since it was the ghost god who saved him and guided him to come here to find this son, then this son must be trustworthy.
Li Xiuyuan took him and two other guards and went out.
When he came to the yamen, he asked Niu Er to beat the drum and voice his grievances, but he was stopped by the yamen.
Li Xiuyuan threw a small piece of silver over: "Hugh is looking for something here, take the silver and let it go, I am this year's showman, I have something to tell the squire of the military department, this time I will give you some benefits, if you stop me again next time, you will not be welcome." ”
"Don't dare, don't dare, the little one will report. ”
The official who guarded the drum of grievances smiled and retreated honestly.
The scholars in Jinling City dare to provoke him, and he will immediately open Enke, who knows which scholar will be lifted, and if he becomes a lifter, he will be the master, how dare he offend this little servant.
Soon, Niu Er struck the drum of injustice.
Fu Tianqiu, who was dealing with government affairs in the yamen, frowned when he heard the sound of drums: "Who is beating the drum and crying out grievances." ”
A servant trotted into the door: "Lord Huiyu, it's a Li Gongzi named Li Xiuyuan who is beating the drum." ”
"Li Xiuyuan?"
Hearing this name, Fu Tianqiu's eyelids jumped, and he put down the government affairs in his hand and said, "Let him come in." ”
Even so, he was muttering in his heart, why did this Li Xiuyuan suddenly visit him, beat the drum and voice his grievances, and walked so formally, it stands to reason that he didn't hand over the greetings?
"It's not for the sake of getting married, if you come to make trouble, the official will never spare him. Fu Tianqiu said secretly in his heart.
His letter has been sent to Guobei County, if nothing else, he will wait for the Li family's dowry, if Li Xiuyuan makes trouble, he will never agree, his daughter has already made up her mind to marry him, if this matter does not work, who knows what will happen.
