The first prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 140 I Came to Beg You to Do Something

"Get up, everyone. If you have any grievances, someone will take care of it for you. Come and let the two adults out first."

Immediately after Zhao Xu finished speaking, someone opened the cell door of Chen Sihui and Zhai Shouxun, and Chen Sihui and the others walked out.

"Thank you, Prince." The two of them seemed to have escaped from a tiger's mouth now.

Thinking about the two of them being worried these days, they were worried that one day Li Chongjin would kill them.

They are different, Chen Sixui was sent by the Song Dynasty, and Zhai Shouxun has been proven to have defected to the Song Dynasty.

If it is said that Li Chongjin's only ambition for the Song Dynasty is to kill the two of them, can they not be in a hurry.

"Okay, you two, tell me what's going on, why are there so many prisoners, why do they cry for injustice, and I don't think they look like criminals?"

Zhao Xu asked, frowning.

Chen Sixui shook his head helplessly when he heard the prince asking him this, and smiled wryly:

"What kind of criminals are they there? They are all the people of this city." Chen Sihui explained slowly.

Zhao Xu also slowly understood that these were the people in the city, and the prison was originally a place to punish criminals, but unexpectedly it became a place to detain good people.

As for those criminals who were originally imprisoned here, those real criminals are now soldiers.

When Li Chongjin was desperate, he got these people out and let them join the army and become sergeants to help him defend the city.

As a result, these real treacherous and evil people have all changed and become Li Chongjin's sergeants.

These people were not law-abiding people, nor did they have any great abilities, otherwise they would not have come here.

Some of them are sneaky people, and some are deceived, but they didn't dare to be so blatant before.

Now they have suddenly turned into soldiers, but they still haven't changed their habits, but they have taken a lot of courage.

No matter how you say it, once you put on the clothes of a soldier, you become a member of the government, from a thief to a public servant.

So they became even more unscrupulous, and it happened that these people were also the ones who followed Xiang Mei and Zhan Jing to search for them.

At this time, their unique skill is to come out together, no matter how secret the property of the people's home is hidden, they can find it.

After all, you don't even look at what these people are doing. After your belongings are taken away, you will be charged with adultery with foreign enemies and sent to this prison for a few days.

"No wonder why I feel that the soldiers in the city are so weak in fighting power. It turns out that many of them are thieves and criminals, so it's easy to understand."

Zhao Xu thought to himself.

At this time, he saw that there were still a few people in the cell where Chen Sixao and the others were staying, wearing high-quality clothes. These people were no longer ordinary people.

So Zhao Xu turned his head to look at Chen Sixuo and Zhai Shouxun, with a questioning meaning.

"The princes are all local wealthy businessmen. They were all robbed of their wealth by Li Chongjin and then imprisoned here."

Zhai Shouxun was also familiar with these people, so he stood up and explained.

"Since this is the case, you should release these people as soon as possible, but they are not allowed to leave. You still need to carefully select them, so that no real thieves can be mixed in."

"By the way, Chen Sihui, you should know about Yangzhou. Zhai Shouxun, please assist Chen Sihui for the time being. You are responsible for handling this matter as soon as possible, and it must be fair and just."

Chen Sihui was overjoyed when he heard that, he was originally the envoy of Liuzhai, a low-level official, but he did not expect to become the magistrate of Yangzhou now.

I don't know how much this level has been improved at once, so it's no wonder he is unhappy.As for Zhai Shouxun, needless to say, his status was higher than that of Li Chongjin, but he didn't have a real position.

Now let him serve as Chen Sixui's deputy for the time being, that is, the second in command in Yangzhou City, what else is he not satisfied with?

Both of them knelt down and kowtowed to thank each other, which can be said to be a thousand thanks.

"By the way, have you heard that there is a man named Fang Weimin imprisoned here. He was originally Li Chongzan's subordinate, and he should have been locked up yesterday."

Zhao Xu didn't mean to reuse this person by asking this question. He had already said that anyone who participated in the rebellion this time would die as long as they could rank up.

However, he still wanted to meet this person, but he was disappointed. No one knew about this person, and no one was locked up here these days.

Zhao Xu didn't stop there. He had other things to do, which was to behead these rebels.

In fact, it would be cheaper for them to be beheaded. This kind of rebellion is a serious crime, and it will implicate the whole family. Can beheading be avoided so easily?

Li Chongzan had been captured by Hu Yanzan ever since the East Gate was captured, and before he had time to commit suicide, he was tied up tightly by Wuhuada.

His son, Li Yanfu, surrendered because he felt that suicide was too painful. Right now, both father and son are being held together, which cannot be said to be in custody.

They were not in a cell, but in a small courtyard, but their range of action was only ten steps to the left and right.

There are soldiers all around, all of them are looking at them with weapons, as long as there is any movement, they will be decapitated.

Li Chongzan didn't have a trace of spirit, and he didn't expect himself and others to lose so quickly, he really couldn't believe it was true.

But he never regretted it. Li Chongjin was his second elder brother, and he had nothing to say about his mother. When he heard that Li Chongjin died by self-immolation, his heart twitched violently.

He also had no intention of resisting, and just as he was about to draw his sword to kill himself, he did not expect Da Song's army to rush in and capture him.

It seems that this is also God's will, their Li family is really over this time, looking at the son beside him, he has mixed feelings.

"Fu'er, to be honest, do you regret that you followed your father to support your second uncle? If not, you are still your major general, and you live a leisurely life every day."

"Hehe, dad, what are you talking about? I have nothing to regret. We are all a family. Do you think I can have a good life if something happens to you?"

Although Li Yanfu did not have the courage to commit suicide, he was not a person who was greedy for life and afraid of death.

"Our Li family has nothing to say about it. Besides, wouldn't it be dead, with a big scar on his head, and he will be a good man again after 18 years."

"Fu'er has really grown up." Li Chongzan was still feeling emotional.

His impression of his son was still that of that domineering young man. Not long ago, his son had grown up.

Just as he was feeling emotional, Zhao Xu came over, and Zhao Xu told all the soldiers guarding here to retreat.

There were still two wine jars in his hand, it seemed that he came to drink with Li Chongzan, not to mention that he really knew Li Chongzan.

"Master Li, we haven't seen each other for some time. Today I brought some good wine to see you." As he said that, Zhao Xu sat opposite the father and son of the special beauty.

"Brother Li just happened to be here, so the three of us can catch up on the old days." The brother Li he was talking about was Li Yanfu.

Li Chongzan sighed as he looked at this young man. He knew Zhao Xu, and Zhao Xu had worked under Li Yun for a while back then.

At that time, he also couldn't understand this young man with a bit of a dandyism. He didn't expect to see him in just a few years, and he was already the prince of Song Dynasty.

"Prince Song, you are being polite. You have changed a lot since you haven't seen anything for a few years." Li Chongzan had a feeling of being a hero.

"Zhao Xu, you don't have to be hypocritical. If you want to kill or scrape, you can do whatever you want. Stop following us."

Zhao Xu shook his head. This Li Yanfu's temper is still the same, it hasn't changed at all, impulsive and reckless.

Zhao Xu put the poured wine in front of them, but Li and his son didn't move at all.

"Why are you afraid that this wine is not good, or that I will be poisoned in this wine? You father and son are afraid of this." Zhao Xu said with a smile.

"Haha, if you want to kill us, you still need to go to such trouble, even if it is poisoned, do I still care about it?"

Li Chongzan did not lose his true colors, picked up the wine in the cup, and drank it without the slightest hesitation.

"Fu'er, you should also try the good wine. This is the kind of strong wine you often say. It is worth a thousand gold in our Jiezhou. I heard that this kind of wine was bought by a very powerful restaurant in Bianjing. It is very popular. The Khitan people love it."

"To be honest, Mr. Li, this is exactly what my Taoxianglou produced. It just so happened that we brought a lot with us when we came to Yangzhou this time, otherwise it would be really expensive to buy."

"I didn't expect this wine to be brewed by you. I really don't understand you. Don't mention it, I don't know where you are here today?" Li Chongzan stopped and asked directly.

He didn't believe how kind Zhao Xu was to come to see him. Even though his father and son knew Zhao Xu, he knew that Zhao Xu couldn't let them go.

Even the benevolent emperor couldn't allow them to do this, so Li Chongzan knew that they were doomed, so what else was there to worry about?

Zhao Xu also listened to it. In fact, he really came here today for something, Zhao and his father, and that was to ask him to come forward to appease the Jiezhou army.

"Master Li is still so quick to talk, I really came here to ask you one thing." After speaking, he stared at Li Chongzan closely.

"Zhao Xu, what tricks do you want to play? What do you want from us? We are already your prisoners. Why do you want to humiliate us?"

Li Yanfu didn't have a good face towards Zhao Xu, and he didn't know how long he would live if he had a good face.

"Brother Li, why are you so angry? I really have something to ask you, and I believe your father will agree."

Zhao Xu was convincing, he knew that Li Chongzan would agree before he said anything, and Li Chongzan didn't know what he would agree to.
