Chapter 2137 Different minds
"Mr. Chen, if you can't bear to part with him, just leave with him." Tongzong Yu Anran said sarcastically.
I was very dissatisfied with the Kaifeng County Magistrate in front of me.
If the other party had not brought back the news that the rebels asked for money, they would not have angered Cui Changshi. Importantly, Cui Changshi had clearly stated before leaving that the Zhou royal palace would have cut off support for defending the city.
What we have cut off is not a verbal support, but a real money and food.
"Xiaoguan just thinks that what Cui Changshi said is not unreasonable. As long as the rebels can retreat, no matter what the method is, they must try." County Magistrate Chen insisted.
Facing Shangguan in front of him, he was also afraid.
But he knew that the weapon had already spread across his neck, and even if he was reluctant, he would find a way to collect 50,000 taels of silver and send it out of the city.
"Mr. Chen is so supportive of spending money. Could it be that he will get the benefits of the rebels after leaving the city?" Chen Yongfu asked suddenly.
Hearing this, County Magistrate Chen's face turned upright and said with a righteous voice: "If the Xiaguan really gets the benefits of the rebels, the Xiaguan will not die well."
Not only did he not get any benefits from the rebels, he was forcibly created a handle by the rebels, so he was very open-minded.
"You swear and promise here, who knows whether it is true or not? Even if you really get any benefits, we can't know." Chen Yongfu said with a contemptuous look on his face.
"You, you are innocent." The Chen County Magistrate raised his hand angrily and pointed at Chen Yongfu.
Chen Yongfu sarcastically said: "Is it really dirty and innocent? It's not necessarily true!"
"You, you, you!" After County Magistrate Chen said three times, his eyelids immediately turned and he fainted.
"Chen County Magistrate, Chen County Magistrate."
Several officials around him surrounded him and were both happy to the fainting County Magistrate Chen and pinched the people. Someone was calling in his ears, trying to wake him up.
However, the County Magistrate Chen's eyes were closed and his teeth were clenched, but he never saw any improvement in his eyes.
"Come!" Priest Lin shouted outside the door. When the two yamen runners came in, he said again, "Take County Magistrate Chen to the guest room and invite a doctor to come over."
One by one, one behind the other, one holding his armpits and the other dragging his legs, moved County Magistrate Chen out.
"This is a villain." Chen Yongfu still cursed at County Magistrate Chen.
Prison Lin, who heard this, frowned slightly and stopped him, "Okay, everyone has fainted, there is no need to worry about it anymore."
Although he didn't like the news brought back by County Magistrate Chen, he didn't want to see County Magistrate Chen, who was a civil servant, be humiliated by a vulgar martial artist.
Chen Yongfu turned his head to look at the prefect Lin and said, "If Lin Futai is willing, he can give some money to the soldiers guarding the city to boost morale and better defend Kaifeng's city. This is better than making the money cheaper than the rebels outside the city."
As a military general, he knew very well that if the soldiers guarding the city knew that the government would rather give the money to the rebels than to them, it would definitely lead to a sharp drop in morale among the army.
So as long as someone agrees to give the money from the city to the rebels outside the city, he will be a villain in his eyes.
"There is no money left in the city. It's almost enough to use money and grain in the treasury in each government treasury." Prefect Lin said to Chen Yongfu.
He disagreed with giving the money to the rebels outside the city. One of the reasons was that the treasury could not afford such a large sum of money, because after various accounts were made over the years, the treasury had long been emptied.
Chen Yongfu did not give up because of the cry of prefect Lin's poor cry. Instead, he said: "There was a good thing before Cui Changshi left. The government had no money, so he could make some money in the city one by one. Lin Futai, you are familiar with these big families. Why don't you come forward and find the big families in the city to make up for it?"
"What's this? Other people's money is not blown by the strong wind. Why should I take it out for the government?" Prefect Lin said unhappily.
He knew very well that the big families in the city wanted the rebels to continue to surround them so that they could buy more high-priced food, so how could they be willing to give out the silver?
Chen Yongfu said unwillingly, "They are theirs, but if they can't defend Kaifeng Prefecture, they will be cheaper in the end. Now they just want to support some money to defend the city. If they defend Kaifeng Prefecture, the money in their family can naturally be kept. This is a good thing at the best of both worlds."
"Okay, let's talk about this later. Let's do it today. Let's go back!" Prefect Lin was upset by Chen Yongfu's entanglement and started to drive people straight away.
"The lower official surrenders."
The civil servants present retreated from the lobby in turn.
The generals present looked at Chen Yongfu.
I heard Chen Yongfu say, "Lin Futai might as well consider what I said just now, killing two birds with one stone."
"If General Chen is energetic, you might as well think about how to retreat to the enemy. Now that General Yang is ill and recuperating, General Chen is not light in his burden!" Prefect Lin said with a threat.
Warn Chen Yongfu, who is the one who can really make decisions in Kaifeng Prefecture?
Chen Yongfu naturally heard the threat and immediately sneered: "I am just a crude warrior. I only know how to kill the enemy on the battlefield. As for how to arrange troops, it has always been your civil servants' business. I will go back and wait for Lin's Mansion to break the siege of Kaifeng Mansion City."
After saying that, he walked out.
A group of generals followed and left the lobby.
"A group of killing babies is really damn!" Prefect Lin looked at the open door of Chen Yongfu and other military generals after leaving, and gritted his teeth and said something.
He could feel that these generals did not take him, the Kaifeng prefect, seriously, and were far less respectful to Yang He at the time.
"These people are mainly Chen Yongfu. As long as they are dealt with, they are not afraid of being dishonest." Yu Anran's voice sounded from the side.
Prefect Lin looked back and said, "You haven't left yet?"
"You have to finish your words before leaving, so that you can feel at ease when you leave." Yu Anran said.
Prefect Lin frowned and asked, "What else do you have to say after leaving?"
"The memorial to impeach Yang He has been sent for so long. Why has the imperial court not been informed for so long?" Yu Anran asked, looking at Prefect Lin.
Joining forces with Prefect Lin made him completely offend Yang He.
As long as Yang He doesn't fall for a day, he will not be at ease for a day.
"I'm the same as you, I don't know anything." Prefect Lin replied to him, and then said, "But I think there will be news back soon."
Yu Anran said: "You can come forward to ask the grain merchants in the city. With their background, you will know any news in the capital as soon as possible."
"I will ask." Prefect Lin said, "Actually, isn't it the best news? What prestige in Yang He has in Henan now? You and I have the final say in the entire Kaifeng Prefecture."
