After being exiled, I led my whole family to rebel.

Chapter 253 Unlocking Xingyuan Mansion

Qi Er is really very busy.

Although Xu Zhenying's attack on the city was relatively smooth, there were still several key strongholds such as the three city gates, the prison, the government office, and the prefect's home that had not been captured. She first ordered people to seize key places such as the armory, and then spread her manpower to coordinate the maintenance. The order in the city also led people to arrest two people who took the opportunity to cause trouble, and finally hurried to the city gate.

Qi Er only had one thought in his mind: he must show his face in front of Xu Zhenying!
When she arrived at the city gate, she found that Feng'er, Sun Qingchen, Zhao Qiaonian, Lao Lin and others were already waiting on both sides of the city gate.

The vanguard troops had already rushed into the government office, leaving a mess on the ground. Feng'er ordered people to clean the battlefield immediately and plant flags everywhere, which was somewhat lively.

The personal guards led by Xu Zhenying were still behind, and soon they heard the clatter of horse hooves, followed by a group of black shadows moving.

Feng'er shouted happily: "City Lord! City Lord!"

Then she hurried forward to greet him.

Xu Zhenying reined in his horse and stopped, looking down from a high position. He saw a familiar face from a distance, and he was naturally overjoyed.

Everyone saw a sassy woman riding a horse among the smoke.

She looked so young, with fair skin and bright eyes and white teeth. Her facial features are not outstanding, but overall they give people a simple and refreshing feeling. Judging from her appearance, it is completely impossible to tell that she is the largest rebel leader in the Southwest!

A fifteen-year-old female rebel!

But when that person gets closer, a heavy pressure can be seen in every move.

The moonlight was miserable, and she seemed to be the God of War descending from the sky, invincible in the world, breaking through the smoke and coming towards me!

"The city lord is here!"

One sentence made everyone a little nervous.

Only Feng'er smiled and waved from a distance: "City Lord!"

I saw Xu Zhenying jump off the horse neatly, moving like the wind, almost rushing to Feng'er, "Feng'er!"

Her eyes lit up and she stared at Zhao Qiaonian and those familiar faces.

Zhao Qiaonian, Daniu, Qi Er and others quickly raised their hands and clasped their fists, and said sincerely: "See the City Lord!"

Xu Zhenying laughed heartily: "I am drunk when I meet old friends. Dear brothers, long time no see!"

Zhao Qiaonian felt a little embarrassed. Xu Zhenying used to be an exiled prisoner, and he was in charge of her life and death. But now that Xu Zhenying has changed, he will be able to control his life in the future. This feeling is good or bad.

But he could only quickly adjust his mentality, "City Lord, long time no see! The brothers couldn't survive in Bianjing City, so they thought of coming to join you!"

"Welcome! You have come to join me. This is a great joy! But now is not the time to talk. We will talk about private matters after we settle down!"

After saying that, Xu Zhenying looked at Sun Qingchen again.

Sun Qingchen's throat rolled up, looking at those clear and bright eyes, he felt inexplicably panicked.

You can't hide something.

Sun Qingchen didn't intend to hide it, so he simply said: "City Lord, I went to Bianjing City to file a complaint against you. The emperor threw me into a prison and almost lost my life. So I came back shamelessly. If you don't give up, I am willing to ride the horse for you!"

Xu Zhenying frowned at first, and then smiled, as if he didn't mind Sun Qingchen's behavior at all, but encouraged: "Master Sun, don't belittle yourself. The reason why I attacked Lan County and kept you alive is that no matter what you are doing, In the Great Zhou Dynasty, you will always be a malleable talent under my command, Xu Zhenying. As your name suggests, the Great Zhou Dynasty cannot tolerate Qing ministers like you, but I, Xu Zhenying, can tolerate it. Don’t have any psychological burden, just work hard! !”

Sun Qingchen was thinking in his heart that she had kept him alive in order to win over the people of Lan County, but now she was talking about it in such a high-sounding way.

However, Sun Qingchen was still impressed by Xu Zhenying's sincerity and sincerity, and he put his heart back into his stomach and quickly clasped his fists: "I obey the city lord's instructions!"

"Who is this?"

Xu Zhenying looked at Mr. Lin.

Mr. Lin was also looking at her with a smile, as if he was observing her.

Xu Zhenying looked at this man and Sun Qingchen standing together. They seemed to have a close relationship. In addition, the man was over fifty years old, but he was full of energy and had sharp eyes. Therefore, Xu Zhenying deduced that this man was probably a court official who was at home.

Are these the fresh leeks that Sun Qingchen brought to her?

Sun Qingchen also quickly introduced: "City Lord, this is Mr. Lin. He has been a priest in the Imperial College for more than ten years. He has also served as the emperor's teacher for two terms. He is the first scholar in the world."

Sun Qingchen kept winking at her, and Xu Zhenying felt happy. Finally, a serious scholar from the Zhou Dynasty was willing to follow her. Does this mean that she has also been recognized by some scholars?

This is a good start.

So she quickly lowered her posture, cupped her hands and clasped her fists: "Mr. Lin, I have been hearing your name for so long, it is like thunder in my ears——"

Before Xu Zhenying finished speaking, Mr. Lin interrupted her with a smile, as if he was deliberately trying to embarrass her: "Have you admired your name for a long time? May I ask what books I compiled that the city lord has read?"

Xu Zhenying was stunned.

Sun Qingchen and others were also stunned.

Isn't this "long admired name" just a polite statement? How can anyone rush to ask for details?
Isn't this deliberately trying to embarrass Xu Zhenying?
Unexpectedly, there was no trace of embarrassment on Xu Zhenying's face. Instead, he smiled grandly and said, "Mr. Lin, although it is just a greeting, I appreciate the respect Master Sun has for you. Even if I have not read your masterpiece, I can still infer that you are You must be a real person with some ability. In addition, as a minister of the Zhou Dynasty, you dare to come to me, a traitor. If nothing else, your heart, courage, and courage are among the best among scholars in the world. head!"

Mr. Lin stroked his beard and laughed. He seemed extremely satisfied with Xu Zhenying's answer, "You haven't read the book I wrote. Old man, I have read many of your masterpieces. If it weren't for those general arithmetic textbooks you published, it would be very popular." It’s so unbearable, old man, how can I travel all the way to see you at my age?”

Oh, you made a special trip to see her?
If she had known earlier, she would have started writing directly from calculus, first deceiving all the scholars in the world, and then letting them use it for herself.

On the other hand, Feng'er was a little anxious, but she didn't show it on her face. Instead, she said with a smile: "Mr. Lin, we will have plenty of opportunities to discuss academic matters in the future. However, Xingyuan Mansion is currently in chaos. How about we deal with the government affairs first?" If it’s later, I’m afraid the prefect will run away!”

Mr. Lin patted his head like an old naughty boy, "Look at me, I was so happy chatting for a while that I forgot that the city lord has important matters." Xu Zhenying also laughed: "I had a great time chatting with Mr. Lin. I will wait for the younger generation to talk about it." After Xingyuan Mansion settles down, I will definitely pay him a visit in person."

After saying that, Xu Zhenying cupped his hands and got on his horse again, "I'll go and occupy the government office first, Feng'er and Qi Er, and comfort the people in the city. If you encounter someone who takes the opportunity to cause trouble, don't be lenient!"

Qi Er looked at Xu Zhenying's retreating figure and couldn't help feeling excited.

This is actually Xu Zhenying?
Even though we haven’t seen each other for only a year, that person has changed a lot!
Last year's bean sprouts turned out so beautifully? No, you cannot use Peugeot to describe Xu Zhenying.

Xu Zhenying is gentle and gentle, but there is a pressure hidden between her brows that cannot be ignored.

She was like a phoenix reborn from blood, and every move she made was full of grace.

This couldn't help but make Qi Er feel scared and scared.

Qi Er couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "I've been separated for three days. I'm really impressed."

Xu Zhenying and his party had already rushed to the government office. The government office was bright and occupied by the soldiers who had arrived earlier. Chang Zizai grabbed Yan Zhifu from his concubine's bed and threw it directly in front of Xu Zhenying like a ball.

"City Lord, the magistrate of Xingyuan Prefecture brings us here!"

"Bring the general magistrate of Xingyuan Mansion!"

The general judge looked at her with blood-red eyes and shouted loudly: "You traitor and traitor! You will not die easily! Today you occupy Xingyuan Mansion, and I, the Zhou Dynasty, will have to pay for it with your blood in the future! The sky is blind, and you are allowed to wait like this!" The mob has taken over my Xingyuan Mansion, and I, Liu Mingjun, am a minister of the Great Zhou Dynasty. I am not afraid of death. This is a good opportunity for me to serve the country! Give me a quick blow and have a good time!"

Before Xu Zhenying had time to speak, the judge pounced directly on him, hitting his neck on Chang Ziyi's long sword beside him, and then killed him with a single blow.

The dozen or so main officials of the Xingyuan Mansion around him looked sad and cried loudly. They all looked at Xu Zhenying with vicious eyes, as if they wanted to eat his flesh.

Chang Zizai was greatly frightened by this incident, "City Lord, I didn't kill him. As you can see, I didn't do anything!"

Xu Zhenying frowned slightly, "Okay, drag me down."

Sun Qingchen, who was following closely, was very discerning. Seeing this, he even hesitated his own reputation and advised his former colleagues: "Everyone, the city lord is kind and kind. He always only attacks the city and does not kill people! As long as you cooperate well, our city lord will Everyone will be open-minded!”

"Ah! Sun Qingchen, you traitor and lackey! After all, you are eating the salary of my great Zhou Dynasty, and you turned out to be the hawk and dog lackey of the rebels. You are simply a wolf-hearted dog and have lost the face of all the scholars in the world! You are not afraid of His Majesty's innocence. Surrender the rebels and you will die without a burial place!”

Sun Qingchen smiled coldly when he heard this: "I, Sun Qingchen, were loyal to the emperor and patriotic in the first half of my life. I never took a penny from the people, and I never did a bad thing without conscience. After Lan County was occupied, the city lord never harmed my life, but only restricted my personal freedom. But he allowed me to handle government affairs as before. This was a life-saving grace. Although I was in Lan County, I was thinking about the imperial court of Zhou Dynasty all the time. I even wrote dozens of letters to the prefect of Jinzhou Prefecture. All the letters asking for help were thrown into the sea!”

Magistrate Yan cried out in pain: "If that's the case, why do you want to serve a thief!"

"After the city lord released me, I took my wife on the road alone, climbing over mountains and ridges, and almost died in the dense forest several times. Even so, I still wanted to go to the capital to complain. I just wanted to tell His Majesty that I was powerful. , Your Majesty, please send troops to reinforce Jinzhou Prefecture! But the emperor was busy fighting with Prince Ming and ignored the fact that the two major Zhou prefectures in the southwest fell into the hands of rebels. Instead, he scolded me for exaggerating and making alarmist remarks, and almost cut off my head for such a short-sighted mediocrity. , Such a chaotic court is not worthy of my loyalty, Sun Qingchen!"

"They are all excuses! If you want me to die, I have to die. All these are just excuses for you to live an ignoble existence! Sun Qingchen, you are young and you are the magistrate of a county. Your future will be bright and promising. Why do you want to follow this person?" Are you afraid of harming the whole family if you rebel together?"

"You want your minister to die, but I have to die?" Xu Zhenying on the other side smiled slightly, "I think you should reflect on it, why do you want your minister to die, but I have to die? Everything in this world is either right or wrong, or it is A society where laws and regulations, or morals, are all determined by the personal preference of the superior is a sick society. The Zhou Dynasty is sick, and you are also sick, and I, Xu Zhenying, am here to treat you!"

"That's nonsense. You, the traitor, will kill you if you want. What nonsense are you talking about?! Since Zhang Tongjian is not afraid of death, we are not afraid of death either, so just give us a quick blow!"

Xu Zhenying waved his hand, completely ignoring the curses of this group of people, and motioned to the people around him to drag these people down and lock them in a cage for a few days to reflect.

Soon, the dozen officials were dragged down while cursing.

On the other hand, Mr. Lin watched the whole process and was shocked by Xu Zhenying's shocking words about the sick society.

If he has not read the book Common Sense, he will naturally not understand the meaning of society.

Because of this, after reading it and memorizing every sentence in it, Xu Zhenying's words seemed like the phoenix singing and the clouds clearing!

During these first few meetings, Mr. Lin felt that he already knew what kind of hero Xu Zhenying was.

He is worthy of being a flying fairy from heaven, his thoughts and mind are indeed unique.

Mr. Lin pulled Sun Qingchen and asked, "Can your city lord really not kill anyone when he enters the city?"

"It's not about not killing anyone, it's about never killing people without reason or evidence. Even if you want to kill someone who has done many evil things, the city lord will pay attention to the fact that the evidence is complete and well-founded. According to the city lord, you will never unjustly accuse a good person, and you will never unjustly accuse a good person. Don’t let a bad guy go.”

Mr. Lin's eyes turned again and again, and the smile on his face was somewhat meaningful: "You City Lord... is a bit interesting."

Xu Zhenying and others entered the government office like a fish in water. The place had been occupied by their people half an hour ago, and now it was all soldiers from Jinzhou Prefecture.

Lian took advantage of the opportunity and sent people to clean out the government office and arrange it exactly like Jinzhou Mansion. All the furnishings in the lobby were removed and all the space was used to place benches.

In just a moment, Feng'er, Qi Er, Sun Qingchen, Zhao Qiaonian and others all arrived.

Xu Zhenying walked directly to the main seat and asked, "How long until Fang Xun and the others arrive?"

"They are still clearing the battlefield from behind. They will arrive within an hour."

"How are the people in the city doing?"

Lian immediately replied: "Thanks to the news we spread earlier, the people were not very resistant to us. Although they were panicked, most of them were hiding in their houses. Some who took the opportunity to cause trouble were also thrown into prison by our people. ”

"Where are the four city gates?"

Qi Er then said: "I made the soldiers who were guarding the city drunk at the North Gate and subdued them effortlessly."

After receiving Qi Er's signal, Feng'er hurriedly followed: "Thanks to Miss Qi Er's money in the past half month, our news in Xingyuan Mansion can spread so quickly. Brother Zhao and the others can't help either. few."

Xu Zhenying naturally understood what Feng'er meant, and immediately said with a smile: "Jinzhou Mansion was able to attack Xingyuan Mansion so quickly, and everyone present was indispensable."
