Chapter 684 Calculation and Counter-calculation ([-])

At three o'clock, the sun had already risen in the sky, the scorching sun was baking the earth, the temperature was unavoidably frighteningly high, poor Wang Liang'en was already full of worries, and when he was hit by such a temperature, his whole body would be really sick It was as if it was fished out of the water, but he refused to avoid it for a while, nothing else, the military situation was urgent, but the famous thorns had been handed in for a long time, but he didn't see any movement inside, which made Wang Liangen go away It's not, it's not if you don't leave, in desperation, you can only pace back and forth outside the governor's office worriedly.

"Master Wang."

Just as Wang Liangen was anxiously waiting, he heard a greeting suddenly sounded behind him.

"Hey, Master Ku, you are..."

Wang Liangen looked back, only to realize that the person who came out of the yamen was Ku Xi, the chief envoy of Shanxi Province, he felt sorry for losing his manners, so he hurriedly cupped his hands, and tentatively asked half of the words.

"It's nothing serious, I just have a few important official documents that need to be signed by Mr. Su, but I don't want to, alas..."

It was fine if Wang Liangen didn't ask, but after this question, Ku Xi's face drooped immediately, and he sighed with a sad face.

"Huh? What does Mr. Ku mean by this? Mr. Su..."

Seeing that Ku Xi's expression was wrong, Wang Liang'en gasped, and asked questions with a look of surprise on his face.

"Oh, Mr. Wang misunderstood. Mr. Su is not a serious problem. He is overworked and sick. After a few days of lethargy, he should be fine. It's just that these official documents of the official may be delayed. Alas, Mr. Su's illness It's not the right time, I'm going to have a headache this time."

Ku Xi laughed, and explained a few words in an attempt to cover up, obviously suspected of deliberately misleading Wang Liangen.

"Ah, lethargic? What, what should I do? Master Ku, there is a fear that the White Lotus Sect may cause chaos in Jingle County. The King of Ren County has already issued an order to mobilize troops to conscript and suppress, and the next official was ordered to come and ask Master Su. Sending troops to help, if Lord Su is unable to manage the affairs now, Lord Ku, you must quickly try to be comprehensive. Hey, King Renjun has already led his troops to attack. If the soldiers of my Taiyuan Mansion fail to rush to the reinforcements in time, That consequence must not be a joke."

Hearing Ku Xi's explanation, Wang Liang'en became anxious immediately, stomping his feet and complaining incessantly, his words clearly meant to shirk responsibility, thinking that he was going to push the responsibility on Ku Xi.

"What? Is there such a thing?"

When Wang Liangen was so anxious, Ku Xi's face immediately changed wildly, and his eyes widened inexplicably in astonishment.

"That's true. Before I went to see King Renjun this morning, I sent someone to report to Mr. Su, but I heard that Mr. Su was ill, so I had no choice but to report to Mr. Renjun. Wang, the situation is urgent. Your lord is ready to send out the army, and he is waiting for my Taiyuan garrison to cooperate. Lord Ku, since Lord Su is unconscious now, you should hurry up and make up your mind. If you really miss something, King Renjun blamed it, then..."

Wang Liangen seemed to be obsessed with shirking responsibility, almost rushing to ask Ku Xi, the second-in-command on the ground in Shanxi, to come up with a decision.

"This..., Mr. Wang, you are from Taiwan. This matter of law and order is your Mr. Wang's responsibility, but this official is not easy to get involved. If there is anything, you can do it yourself. Hehe, I The official still has something to do, so I won’t say much more, take my leave, take my leave.”

Ku Xi was an old official, so he couldn't be caught by Wang Liangen so easily, he made a few perfunctory remarks, then turned around and wanted to leave.

"Lord Ku, wait a minute, Master Su can't be a director. You have the highest rank in the province of Shanxi. You need to come up with a charter for this matter."

Seeing that Ku Xi was going to slip away, Wang Liangen became anxious on the spot, and yelled regardless.

"My lord, don't talk nonsense. I'm only in charge of civil affairs. Public security matters are your lord's job. If you want to transfer the army, you can do it yourself. What do you have to do with me, hmph!"

Ku Xi was obviously determined not to have anything to do with this matter, so he put up the air of the second in command, reprimanded Wang Liangen a few words unceremoniously, then flicked his sleeves, angrily got on the big sedan chair, and left. people.

"Well, stop!"

Seeing that Ku Xi slipped away like this, Wang Liangen was really annoyed, but there was nothing wrong with him, who made his official rank one level lower than Ku Xi, but he had no other way to think about it except to accept it. In desperation, he had no choice but to turn around and walk in front of the governor's yamen, intending to find someone to report inside, but he had just arrived at the yamen's gate when he was blocked by several yamen servants.

"Several, I have something urgent to see Mr. Su, please inform me on your behalf, I am sorry."

The yamen has always been favored by adults and difficult by little ghosts. Even though Wang Liangen is the third in command in Shanxi, he still has nothing to do with these pretentious dogs. He really can only discuss it in a low voice.

"My lord has an itch, Mr. Wang, just wait. When your lord has something to say, you can go see him again."

After all, Wang Liangen was one of the Big Three, those government servants didn't dare to be too presumptuous, but, although the words were polite, there was absolutely no room for accommodation.

"This..., oh!"

Even though Wang Liangen had thousands of reasons to see Su Keji, it would be futile to talk to these yamen servants. In desperation, he could only sigh, and turned back to his sedan chair without waiting any longer. Instead, he bent down, got into the sedan chair, and shouted impetuously: "Go back to the Yamen!"

"twitter!"

As soon as they heard that their master's voice was wrong, all the yamen servants did not dare to be careless, they all agreed, surrounded by four big sedan chairs, and walked towards the inspector's yamen...

Noon was approaching, the sun was shining brightly, and the temperature was frighteningly high. Even if you were wearing only unlined clothing, if you showed your head in the sun for a while, you would definitely be sweating profusely. However, whether it was Hong Qing or the five hundred guards behind her He didn't even move a little bit, even though he was sweating profusely under the scorching sun, but there was no sound, only the soaring murderous aura permeated the air.

"Quick, follow up!"

While Hong Qing and the others waited silently, at the north gate of Taiyuan City, Wang Liangen, who was dripping with sweat, rushed out of the city gate hole on his horse, and drove dozens of yamen servants under him to rush towards the post station with all their might. He was in a hurry, but he was only a civil servant. Although he could ride a horse, his equestrian skills were so-so, and he couldn't get up to speed. In addition, the gang of yamen servants who followed him were not regular soldiers, so they couldn't help but make a fuss during the march. Quite frankly, the whole team didn't look like they were going to fight, but instead looked like a group of refugees fleeing for refuge.

"The next official kowtows to the prince!"

Looking at the embarrassing team approaching in the distance, all the guards of the palace could not help but frown, but with Hong Qing present, no one dared to say anything, so they just waited silently. Not long after the arrival of the "reinforcement army", Wang Liangen, who rode the horse first, rushed forward, but seeing him get off the saddle clumsily, he stepped forward a few steps with shame on his face, and grabbed Hong Qing in front of him, and he was in a state of embarrassment. It was a great gift.

"no."

Even though she had seen clearly the old, weak and disabled soldiers under Wang Liangen before, Hong Qing couldn't help but feel annoyed when they waited for a group of people to approach, but she didn't say anything to scold Wang Liangen for his poor handling of affairs, but just yelled blankly. rise.

"My lord, Haihan, the lower officials are not doing well, and they failed to transfer the garrison battalion. Please punish me, my lord."

Although Hongqing had already yelled, Wang Liangen didn't get up, but kowtowed in shame, and sincerely apologized.

"What's going on, tell me."

Hong Qing was never easy to be fooled, even though Wang Liangen spoke very sincerely, but Hong Qing didn't give him a very good look, but seeing his brow wrinkled, he asked impatiently .

"My lord Mingjian, I am going to inspect the yamen under your order. However, Mr. Su said he was sick, but Mr. Ku tried every means to shirk and refused to preside over the matter. I had no choice but to go back to the yamen to call up the manpower. In a hurry, I had to With so many people, the lower officials deserve to die, the lower officials deserve to die!"

Seeing that Hong Qing's expression was not right, Wang Liang'en panicked, kowtowed again hastily, and gave a sly explanation.

"A group of bastards dare to take military affairs as a trifle. When this king puts down the chaos, I will not quit with these bastards, let's go!"

Hong Qing was obviously irritated by Su and Ku's slack performance, so she swears very rarely, but there was no further delay, and with a wave of her hand, the expedition order was issued, and after a short while, see Five hundred palace guards, together with dozens of yamen servants summoned by Wang Liangen, rushed to the northwest...

At three o'clock in the afternoon, it was already past the meal time, but Su Keji and the others sitting in the study of the governor's yamen had no appetite or interest in chatting, they all sat dumbfounded, and everyone's faces were exactly the same The atmosphere in the study was unavoidably astonishingly depressing, until the sound of hurried footsteps suddenly sounded, which broke the unbearable silence. Everyone followed the prestige and passed by, and saw a postman sweating profusely Jumped out from the screen.

"Report, my lord, King Renjun has led his army to Jingle County."

Sensing the attention of many bigwigs in the study room, the body of the postman trembled obviously, and he couldn't help slowing down his hurried steps, but after swallowing vigorously, he finally settled down. Come, quickly rushed to Su Keji's face, and hastily said a word to report.

"Oh? Be more specific, tell me!"

Hearing that Hong Qing had already led the troops out, Su Keji's eyes immediately flashed a trace of fanaticism and excitement, but he didn't rush to make a decision, but raised his eyebrows and asked loudly.

"Hey, so that my lord can find out, the thing is like this..."

When Hong Qing led the army to attack, the postman was peeping from the side. He knew all kinds of things that happened at that time, and it was rare that he was eloquent. The faces of all the people are all brightened...
