Blood from Daming

Chapter 601 Dependence
A group of gentry and eunuchs from Jiangzhou City turned to Wang Erwa crying, and asked Wang Erwa to hand over Li Zhizhou to say something. With a plan, Wang Erwa wished to chop off the first annoying gentry and country official with a knife.

Facing the chaotic situation where the gentry and eunuchs in Jiangzhou were arguing with the Zhizhou, Wang Erwa didn't know how to deal with it. Xue Yun knew that he had to come forward in person, so Xue Yun said to the dozen or so gentry and eunuchs who were crying and shouting : "Fathers and folks, if you have something to say, please speak up, and don't hinder the military operations of Xue's army."

As soon as Xue Yun spoke, those gentry and eunuchs came to Xue Yun, and the old man covered his bleeding head and cried, "General, you must make the decision for our victims in Jiangzhou. I must write a letter to my son." , I will give you the Xue family army's great contribution to the court, ouch, I will also remove that dog official Li Zhizhou from his post."

Xue Yun looked at these mournful gentry and eunuchs and said: "Don't worry, everyone, officials, businessmen and gentry are in the same line, and your enemies and Xue's army will definitely be avenged. The law of the imperial court is in place, and beating the officials of the imperial court in private like this is a serious crime of insulting the imperial court, aren't you afraid that the imperial court will hold you accountable for your crimes?"

When Xue Yun said this, when the gentry and the eunuchs heard that beating the court officials violated the law, it seemed that there was such a thing, their arrogance suddenly weakened a lot, and they immediately changed into a pitiful look, chattering around Xue Yun Complaining, facing is nothing more than asking Xue Jiajun to kill enemies and recover lost property for them.

Xue Yun said: "It is obligatory for you to kill the traitor Xue Jiajun for you, and Xue Jiajun will try his best to recover your property, but Xue Jiajun is a guest army and will leave Jiangzhou City in the near future. You can rely on Li Zhizhou. You can rely on him. If it is broken, I am afraid that no one will recover the lost gold and silver treasures for you."

When these gentry and eunuchs heard that Xue's army would leave soon, they immediately put aside the matter of Li Zhizhou, and kept on keeping Xue's army stationed in Jiangzhou City to protect the safety of Jiangzhou City. Some even proposed to return the recovered gold and silver property Some of them were given to Xue's army to raise soldiers, but Xue Yun immediately refused.

Under Xue Yun's reassurance, the excited mood of these gentry and rural eunuchs calmed down a lot, so Xue Yun took the opportunity to ask them to identify the captives, find out the robbers and the traitors from them, so that they can identify the enemies and bring them to justice. Law, and Lai can also use these traitors to find the robbed property and strive to regain part of the loss.

Under Xue Yun's half-coaxing and half-deception, Wang Erwa took these gentry and eunuchs to the Zhizhou Yamen Prison where the captives were held to admit them; Xue Yun was relieved at this moment, and then walked slowly into the gate tower , as soon as he entered the door, he saw that Li Zhizhou was still embarrassed. Xue Yun grasped Li Zhizhou's weakness, hoping to subdue Li Zhizhou in one fell swoop.

After Li Zhizhou waited for Xue Yun to walk in front of him, he hesitated for a long time and moved his lips a few times before saying: "General, I want to talk to you alone."

Xue Yun looked around, only Yang Zhenlei was nearby, and there were only a few personal soldiers at the gate in the main hall. Xue Yun waved to his own soldiers, and the soldiers quickly left the main hall , Went to stand guard outside the gate tower.

However, Li Zhizhou still looked at Yang Zhenlei hesitantly, and Xue Yun said: "This is my elder brother, general, if Li Zhizhou has something to say, just say it."

Li Zhizhou was silent for a while and mustered up his courage to say: "I ask General Xue to save my life. As long as the general can get out of the predicament, I will definitely serve the general."

Xue Yun smiled slightly and said, "Lord Li, when did you recognize this general?"

Li Zhizhou said modestly: "General Xue, the momentum you spoke and walked just now, the other generals of the Xue family army can't compare with you at all."

Li Zhizhou took the opportunity to make a small flattery, Xue Yun didn't go into the details with Li Zhizhou, but said to him lightly: "Master Li is indeed a smart person. This general likes to deal with smart people, so don't worry about what Master Li has to say." Say."

Li Zhizhou said: "Xue Jiajun, as the saying goes, being an official for thousands of miles is only for money. I don't think I am a corrupt official. I have always wanted to make some achievements. In the future, I will return to my hometown in Henan. It will have a good reputation, and there will be money. It is enough to set up farmland and manors, but Jiangzhou City is broken, and the fate of the officials is to wait for Jinyiwei's Tiqi to capture them. I did not expect General Xue's troops to regain Jiangzhou City so quickly. If a subordinate official escapes death, he will surely report to the general."

Xue Yun sighed and said: "According to what I said just now, Master Li should be able to get out of trouble, but the gentry and eunuchs in Jiangzhou City will not let you go, so there is nothing I can do about it."

Li Zhizhou said: "Xue Jiajun, Xiaguan Hanchuang has studied hard for more than ten years. The whole family, including the family, counts on Xiaguan. Xiaguan must not lose this official position. For this position of Zhizhou, Xiaguan will not hesitate to defend it with his life. If the official can keep the position of the prefect of Jiangzhou, he must have a place to serve the general."

Xue Yun smiled and said: "Master Li, tell me, how can you help our Xue family army."

Li Zhizhou knew that this was his opportunity, so he thought about it carefully and said: "General, your Xue family has caravans in Pingyang Mansion, and Jiangzhou, where the officer is located, can become a safe station for the Xue family's caravan. Garrisoning troops in Jiangzhou, I believe that the caravans of the Xue family in Shanxi are very safe, and they can even show their force to Henan on the south bank of the Yellow River, which will greatly benefit the Xue family's business."

Xue Yun looked deeply at Li Zhizhou and said, "Master Li, can this general trust you?"

Li Zhizhou said in fear and trepidation: "General Xue's reputation is well known in the universe. It's too late for the subordinates to respect the general. How could they have two hearts about the general?"

Xue Yun said: "Okay, Lord Li will act according to the general's instructions. As long as there is chaos in Shaanxi, the Secretary of Shaanxi Chengxuan and Pingyang Mansion may not have time to trouble you."

Li Zhizhou asked in surprise: "General Xue, is there any chaos in Shaanxi?"

Xue Yun said: "Shaanxi suffers from drought every year, and great chaos occurs after autumn. However, our army entered Jiangzhou City and did not wipe out many members of the White Lotus Sect. This incident has puzzled the general."

Li Zhizhou was startled when he heard this. He also heard the report from the master and the headhunter who ran back, saying that a large number of people withdrew from the west and south gates of Jiangzhou City last night. It should be local ruffians who don't know the inside story, and refugees outside the city who are making rebellion, so it is not the White Lotus Sect members who were killed and captured by Xue's army, so the whereabouts of the White Lotus Sect has become a major problem.

Li Zhizhou is now more worried about the White Lotus Sect. On the one hand, he cannot hand over the White Lotus Sect bandits to the court; What confidence to hold Jiangzhou City.

Li Zhizhou couldn't help but said to Xue Yun: "Xue Family Army, can you Xue Family Army leave a group of troops to guard the road for Xue's caravan and protect the lives of the people in Jiangzhou City on the one hand, but the people stationed in Jiangzhou City Xue Jiajun, all expenses will be settled by the subordinate officials."

Xue Yun didn't return to Li Zhizhou immediately, but said: "Master Li, this matter needs to be considered in the long term. Master Li should recover some lost property for those gentry and eunuchs as soon as possible, so as to appease some of their grievances, otherwise these people will not be allowed to go back to work." If there is a commotion, Lord Li will be in big trouble."

Li Zhizhou still babbled to Xue Yun for quite a while, and then under the protection of three hundred Xue family soldiers provided by Xue Yun, he left the gate tower of the East Gate and went directly back to Zhizhou Yamen; at this time, the leader retired The officials, with many gentry students, escorted the first batch of grain trucks to rescue the victims of Jiangzhou City into the East Gate.

The grain carts headed straight for the center of the city, but the retired officials still ran to the top of the city gate to look for General Wang, the leader of the Xue family army. There were more than a dozen miscellaneous soldiers who were tied up and took the opportunity to riot and rob. These people were covered in scars and suffered a lot. Among them was my good grandson.

The retired official stumbled to the side of the city gate tower and asked to see the general of the Xue family in the gate tower. Xue Yun stood in front of the window of the west gate of the gate tower, looking at the situation of Jiangzhou City with a binoculars. Yun really wasn't in the mood to take care of the trivial affairs of the center, so he asked Yang Zhenlei to take full charge of it.

Yang Zhenlei knew that Xue Yun didn't want to see these gentry and eunuchs too much, so he met the retired official outside the city gate, and the retired official said: "General, the first batch of grain has already been brought into the city, look Are you going to let these ignorant brats go?"

Yang Zhenlei said: "Old man, General Wang went to Zhizhou Prison with many gentry and eunuchs to testify against those guys who took advantage of the chaos. If they want to release them, they will have to ask General Wang for instructions."
