I Xiaoxiong

Chapter 332 Where to Go
In the Red Lotus Dao, as Fang Qiu's first disciple, Zhang Xia's status goes without saying.

Before Shannan Road merged with the former Wu Wangfu, he led an army alone to revolt in the middle of Shu, echoing the Fang brothers from afar.

After the merger, Wu Wang Zhao Chengjun became the emperor, and the original saint Fang Ning became the queen.

Shenggong is the teacher of the state, with a detached status.

Gu Xianglin and Pang Zhigu were the left and right prime ministers, and Fang Jiao and Xue Julin became the left and right marshals.

The two sides seem to have struck a delicate balance.

There are four major governors, namely Liu Taiqing, Wang Tingshan, Fang Hong and Zhang Xia.

It can be seen from this that Zhang Xia's weight in the Red Lotus Dao is only heavy.

To be able to sit and drink with him, Li Yi's identity is also not simple, he is also Fang Qiu's disciple, but a registered disciple.

The two joined Fang Qiu's sect almost at the same time. Later, Zhang Xia was recruited into the inner sect because of his higher martial arts talent, while Li Yi had mediocre martial arts talent but was careful in his work. He came to Sichuan early as the leader of the hidden pile.

Therefore, the two can be regarded as the same family. Although they haven't seen each other for many years, they still have a bond of affection.

Zhang Xia was entrusted by Pang Zhigu to work in Chengdu, so he came to Li Yi.

No one would have thought that this confidant who had been in Du's family for ten years would be the head of the sub-rudder of Honglian Road Chengdu.

No one would have thought that a character like Zhang Xia, one of the four governors, would actually appear in Chengdu.

Li Yi picked up the wine bowl and took a sip of the wine, then said: "I probably understand what Mr. Pang means, it's nothing more than wanting to take advantage of the military settlements and the salt tax, to make the rich people in Sichuan fight with Fu Jinchuan, and to cause chaos in Sichuan. But when I look at these companies, they may not be able to beat Fu Jinchuan, and now they are holding the attitude of letting things go, even if they let them cut some flesh and bleed some blood."

Zhang Xia said: "This is irrelevant. Mr. Pang also said that it is up to people to plan things and God to make things happen. What we are doing now is a conspiracy, a trick that cannot be put on the table. By the way, let you make a plan, Have you got it yet?"

Hearing the question, Li Yi escaped from his arms with a map and handed it to Zhang Xia, "This was drawn by a brother who was a clerk in the Jiefu. The current Jiefu is the former Dudu's Mansion. Fu Jinchuan made Jiannan Jiedushi, although he doesn't live in Chengdu all the time and has been leading troops outside, the mansion is still heavily guarded. Of course, it must be like walking on the ground for you, but I still want to tell you to be careful in everything. Fu Jinchuan's Jiefu is not unusual. place."

Zhang Xia smiled and nodded after hearing the instructions: "Don't worry, I know the seriousness. If Fu Jinchuan is here, this trip will be really difficult. If he is not here, it is expected that there will not be too many masters in the Jiefu. With my current skills and this map, there is no problem, let’s drink.”

After Zhang Xia said, he picked up the wine bowl and touched Li Yi, "Now that I'm here, your peaceful life is at an end, how about it, what's your plan? When things in Chengdu are over, you won't be able to stay in Chengdu regardless of success or failure." If we go down, should we go to Longyou or Shannan Road?"

After hearing what Li Yi said, he shook his head: "Let's take a step and see. It's not the time yet. When the time comes, whether you can leave or not is up to you. Whether you can go or not is up to you."

What Li Yi meant Zhang Xia understood that whether it was Fang Qiu's troops who went south to the south of the mountain, or the Red Lotus Army in Longyou who went north led by Fang Jiao, the future is uncertain now.

Fang Qiu's department is still inside the mountain, and there is no news.

As for Fang Qiu's group going north, even if they can reach Longyou safely, everything is far from safe.

Although Qingtang said that they would send troops to respond, but Qingtang had just been defeated, and Li Yi also heard some news through the eyes and ears of the Jiefu, saying that several groups of envoys from Qingtang wanted to negotiate a peace, and they were all sent away. Go to Beijing.

Although Fu Jinchuan was not in Chengdu, he also left a message.

"There is only war in the Jiefu, not peace. If you want peace, go to Beijing to submit your credentials."

At this juncture, even if Qingtang still had military strength, he would not dare to fight the frontier army of Dajin in Longyou again.

At most, it would be to send troops to put some pressure on the frontier army in Longyou, so there is no need to even think about going to war directly.

You must know that there are tens of thousands of Qingtang prisoners in the hands of Jiannan Jiefu alone.

The people of Qingtang want peace, and one of the big requests is to redeem these people.

This battle of Songzhou caused heavy losses to the people of Qingtang, and the number of strong men in the country was almost reduced by half. At this time, they are willing to fight Dajin for Honglian, an ally?
Even if he still has the ability, he doesn't have the energy anymore.

Therefore, even after leaving Sichuan and Sichuan, Li Yi was still worried about the prospect of the Northern Route Army when he arrived in Longyou.

The South Route Army led by Fang Qiu fled into the mountains in order to escape the pursuit of the officers and soldiers, and it was very unlikely that they could get out.

As for the men and horses of Zhao Chengjun in Shannan Road, they also struggled to survive in the cracks of the imperial court's various armies.

Now when asked whether Li Yi is going south or north, he doesn't want to go either.

Chengdu is very good, if you can stay here forever without having to flee to the end of the world, that would be even better.

The two drank two catties of wine together, ate up half a roast chicken and a catty of sauced meat, and when they returned to the room, their wife and children had already fallen asleep.

Reaching out to touch his sleeping son's hair, Li Yi heaved a sigh of relief.

His wife Du was a light sleeper, and got up to help him remove his clothes when he knew Li Yi came back.

The Du family is a side branch of the Du family. After all, the Du family is a rich family with flourishing branches and leaves. Although many families are also members of the Du family, they have no wealth to speak of. Marrying Li Yi, who can read and write, has some skills It's not bad that the family reuses the steward.

After the husband and wife lay down, lying side by side, Li Yi asked in a low voice: "Is there any place you want to go, my lady?"

"Huh? Where do you want to go? I want to visit Mount Emei."

"What if I leave Shu? Do you want to go?"

"Out of Shu? Why are you out of Shu?"

"Nothing, just ask."

Li Yi sighed in his heart, the kingdom of abundance in the middle of Shu has rich resources and treasures, so the people of Shu are also very fond of their hometown.

They don't even want to go out to be officials, let alone flee.

That day and night, a fire broke out in the file warehouse located in the Jinglueshi Yamen, and almost burned all the documents inside.

Fortunately no one was killed.

The document library that was emitting thick black smoke had been burned to ruins, and Liu Xianke brought the chief bookkeepers Cui Fengyi and Wang Luqiu to the scene.

"We just registered the land registration, and it caught fire. Isn't this too coincidental?" Cui Fengyi looked at the mess in front of him and sneered.

Liu Xianke looked at the fireworks in front of him and didn't know what he was thinking about. He squatted down and picked up a book that was burnt and unsightly.

"It's this method again."

This kind of thing is nothing new to Liu Xianke, no matter the capital or the locality, this kind of thing is not uncommon.

Commonplace.

It is mostly used for officials to hand over the accounts and the actual numbers of the treasury. If the accounts do not match, the document warehouse in charge of documents and the treasury where materials are stored must be on fire.

"Wait for Jie Shuai to come back and worry about it, it's only a few days."

The news of the fire in the file warehouse quickly spread throughout Chengdu.

For a while, everyone was wondering, who set the fire?

Du Ji, the Patriarch of the Du family, immediately called his nephew Du Heng over, "The document library is on fire?"

"Uncle, don't worry, I know the seriousness, and I dare not get involved in this matter."

After hearing Du Heng's words, Du Ji heaved a sigh of relief and said, "You should hurry up and end that matter. This fire is set in Marquis Wu'an's heart. When he returns to Chengdu, someone will definitely be unlucky. It was breaking ground on the head of Tai Sui. Who did it? It's too reckless. The Yan family has a deputy Jiedu envoy, who would not do such a thing due to emotion and reason. The Li family should not be able to reach this in Yanting Could it be the Yang family?"
