Five years as county magistrate, hundreds of millions of kilograms of grain shocked Li Shimin Chapter 429 Since it’s chaotic, let’s make the situation even more chaotic.
Chapter 429 Since it’s chaotic, let’s make the situation even more chaotic.
Soon, Fang Yuan’s order was issued.
As soon as the news came out, the people in Jingzhou City were immediately in chaos.
All the people were frightened by such a murderous order and trembled with fear.
Similarly, the aristocratic families in Jingzhou were also frightened, but more angry, Fang Yuan's anger.
"Damn it, he wants to break the bond between us and the people of Jingzhou!"
Luo Yonghui and others met again to discuss.
Facing Fang Yuan's order, they were worried about losing the support of the people.
Because Fang Yuan has 60,000 Jingzhou troops, their family has to rely on the support of the people.
"I think many people will not support us with this order. We should find another way."
"How to find another way?"
"Isn't Samurai Yu's family still in our hands?"
The Jingzhou aristocratic families quickly thought of countermeasures and prepared to use Samurai Yu's family members to force Samurai Yu to submit.
Governor's Mansion.
The gate is guarded by the Jingzhou Army and no one is allowed to enter without orders.
At this time, a handsome young man was sneaking around outside the Governor's Mansion.
Finally, the young man gritted his teeth and strode towards the Governor's Mansion, intending to enter the Governor's Mansion, but was stopped.
"You were so blind that you didn't see that I was Wu Yuanqing?"
The young man shouted angrily.
Wu Yuanqing was the eldest son of the warrior Xun.
"Sir, we don't care what your identity is. If you break in, be careful we won't show mercy."
The soldier guarding the gate said Zheng Lingran.
They don't know Wu Yuanqing, and even if they did, they probably wouldn't give him face.
Fang Yuan is in power now, not Warrior Xun. It’s hard to say what kind of ending Warrior Xun will have.
As an emperor and a courtier, whoever dares to fall out of line at this time may have serious consequences.
"You!"
"Is it possible to bring me a message to Wu Shun?"
Wu Yuanqing was furious and raised his hands to hit someone.
But seeing the soldier looking at him calmly, his heart trembled and he did not dare to take action.
"Sorry, no."
"Please leave, otherwise we will evict you on the grounds that you are causing trouble."
The soldier's expression remains the same, neither humble nor arrogant.
The one who spoke felt like he was holding the handle of a knife and could draw it at any time.
"Just, just one sentence, is that feasible?"
Wu Yuanqing's tone was no longer so tough, but also a bit pleading.
The two soldiers guarding the door ignored him, and Wu Yuanqing took out a few red banknotes from his arms.
As soon as the Tang Dynasty treasure banknote came out, the eyes of the two soldiers guarding the gate suddenly lit up and they looked at each other, very excited.
"What do you want to pass on?"
But the two soldiers did not dare to accept the money immediately, and they had to wait and see what was being passed on.
Generally speaking, if it's not important, it doesn't matter if they pass it on, and the people above won't know about it.
"Just, let's just say that my brother has something important to discuss. It involves my father's future. Please be sure to meet him."
Wu Yuanqing said with a flattering tone.
"Wait!"
The two soldiers looked at each other again, nodded to each other, grabbed the treasure note from Wu Yuanqing's hand, turned around and left.
Wu Yuanqing breathed a sigh of relief, but then felt a little heartbroken, just like that, the six hundred Tang Dynasty treasure notes were missing.
Not long after, the soldiers came back and Wu Shun also appeared.
"Sister, eldest sister!"
Wu Yuanqing shouted excitedly.
But Wu Shun's face was cold, even disgusting.
"Sister, you finally showed up."
Wu Yuanqing approached Wu Shun cordially as if he didn't see the disgust on Wu Shun's face.
"Tell me what's going on."
Wu Shun dodged him and approached him, walking towards the outside of the Governor's Mansion.
She didn't want Wu Ruyi to know about it, lest Wu Ruyi go to Fang Yuan to talk about her again.
If Wu Yuanqing hadn't talked about the future with her father, she would not have shown up to see Wu Yuanqing.
Brother Wu Yuanqing and Er Niang treated their sisters very badly, were difficult and mean, and were even more outsiders than outsiders.
"Sister, you have to save us."
"Mother, Yuan Shuang, and your mother are all imprisoned by the aristocratic family."
"They said that if my father doesn't help them, they will ask him to help us collect the bodies tomorrow."
Wu Yuanqing begged.
"He, what do they want?"
Wu Shun did not want to help Wu Yuanqing and the others.
However, his mother was also imprisoned by them.
For the sake of his mother, Wu Shun could only watch what Wu Yuanqing said.
"I, I don't know either. They only asked me to send a letter to my father."
Wu Yuanqing breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Wu Shun finally showing his anxious look.
He took out a letter from his arms, with five large characters written on the letter: "Warrior Yu personally signed it."
Wu Shun took it and wanted to open it, but the envelope was tightly sealed and could not be restored after opening it.
After thinking about it, Wu Shun finally did not open it to find out.
"Thank you, sister. I will go back and recover soon. Whether your mother is safe or not depends on you and your father."
Wu Yuanqing let out a breath and left after leaving these words.
This is his only mission, he has to go back as soon as possible, otherwise something will happen.
Wu Shun sighed and wanted to stop Wu Yuanqing and ask them what their current situation was like.
But Wu Yuanqing ran faster than a monkey and disappeared into the crowd in an instant, so he had no choice but to give up.
Soon, Wu Shun handed the letter to the warrior Xun.
After taking it, Samurai Yu opened it, and when he read the letter, his expression became heavy and tangled.
"Dad, how are you?"
After getting the warrior Xun to read the letter, Wu Shun asked.
"They said that if you don't follow their orders, they will kill your mother and your two brothers."
Warrior Yu said in a deep voice.
He crumpled the letter and envelope into a ball and dug his nails into his flesh.
"Damn it, how could they do this?! How dare they do this?!"
Wu Shun's face was so angry that he clenched his fists tightly.
"Sister, what do you think dad should do?"
Warrior Xun took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.
If you help them, it means breaking up with Fang Yuan.
Breaking up with Fang Yuan means breaking up with the imperial court, and you will definitely be liquidated afterwards.
But if he doesn't help them, his two sons will die and will never have children again.
Loyalty and filial piety have both, loyalty and filial piety have both...since ancient times it has been difficult to have both loyalty and filial piety.
"Dad, if mother doesn't save her, she will be dead."
"For Fang Shangshu's side, it should be fine if you beg him for mercy."
Wu Shun already has a choice.
She couldn't just watch her mother die.
As for those two brothers, whatever they do is up to them, it has nothing to do with me.
"Oh, dad knows."
Warrior Xun glanced at Wu Shun with disappointment.
The gap between the eldest sister and the second sister is not even a tiny bit.
If the second sister were here, she might persuade me.
The second sister takes a more long-term view and understands that once she helps the family, she will have no future.
But my eldest sister was right. If I didn’t save him, I would be gone and there would be no future.
"Dad, how can I help you?"
Wu Shun breathed a sigh of relief.
If my father takes action, my mother will definitely be fine.
Those aristocratic families are not stupid enough to actually kill people.
"No, just pretend you don't know."
"Whether it's Fang Shangshu's place or your sister's place, don't tell them."
Warrior Yu shook his head, his eyes slightly blurred.
After sending Wu Shun away, the warrior Yu recruited his henchmen.
He has been in charge of the Jingzhou Army for many years. During his house arrest, the Jingzhou Army was not seized by aristocratic families, which shows how terrifying his control over the Jingzhou Army is.
"Let the generals of the vanguard army, the central army and the logistics army come to see me, and remember not to let Fang Shangshu know."
Warrior Xun ordered.
"Yes!"
The confidant left.
Soon, the warrior Yu and other generals discussed secretly.
Outside the Governor's Mansion.
Wu Yuanqing brought the news back to Luo Yonghui and others.
After Luo Yonghui and other family heads learned about it, they all burst into laughter.
Then they continued to make arrangements, waiting for the signal from the warrior Yu to agree to help.
At about night, the signal from the warrior Yu was sent to them.
"Hahaha, warrior Xun knows the current affairs!"
"Since Jingzhou is already in chaos, let's make the situation even more chaotic."
Luo Yonghui and others laughed.
Immediately let people implement the agreed upon plan.
Night falls.
The streets and alleys of Jingzhou City are deserted.
In fact, not many people dare to show up during the day.
Because the order given by Fang Yuan has not been lifted yet, they are afraid of being captured by Fang Yuan's order.
Suddenly, fire appeared in the south direction of the city, and thick smoke came out, covering the sky and the sun.
But because it was night, it wasn’t until the fire was very bright that it was discovered and attracted people’s attention.
"It's a fire, it's a fire..."
People shouted.
The patrolling soldiers were quickly alerted.
The soldiers came over quickly and wanted to put out the fire.
This is a warehouse. There is a water tank in front of the warehouse, which is specially used to put out fires.
However, by the time the soldiers arrived, the fire was so intense that it was impossible to put out the fire.
"Team, captain, this seems to be a granary!"
Suddenly, a soldier said tremblingly.
After saying this, the patrolling soldiers were shocked and their eyes widened.
"Quickly, put out the fire, put out the fire!"
The captain screamed in horror.
Even if you can't put out the fire, you still have to save it.
Only then did the soldiers react and immediately picked up buckets to put out the fire.
But in the face of a raging fire, this approach is just a drop in the bucket.
Soon, the patrolling soldiers notified Fang Yuan, and Fang Yuan and others came overnight.
"It can be said that this is a grain and grass building built by the water. It was burned down. It is definitely man-made!"
Wu Ruyi made a conclusion with a dark face.
Although the grain and grass building was not really built by the water.
But in case of an accident, the grain and grass are surrounded by water troughs, and there is water in all directions to facilitate rescue.
However, even so, the food and grass still caught fire. It was not man-made, but it was God's will.
"Is there any suspicion?"
Fang Yuan looked at the patrolling soldiers and asked.
"No, no, it was already on fire when we rushed over."
The patrolling soldier said coquettishly.
"Where are the soldiers guarding us?"
Fang Yuan continued to ask.
"No, I don't know, there was no one here when we arrived."
Only then did the patrolling soldiers react and looked around in shock.
Yes, where are the soldiers guarding them? Why are none of them here?
"Who is responsible for the granary?"
Fang Yuan frowned and looked at Warrior Xun and others.
Warrior Xun just didn't take power, but Fang Yuan didn't dismiss him.
Therefore, the warrior Yu was still the nominal governor of Jingzhou, and the generals of the Jingzhou army stood with him.
When facing Fang Yuan, neither the warrior Xun nor the other generals expressed their stance.
"Who is responsible for the granary?"
Warrior Xun repeated Fang Yuan’s words.
"Captain, no one is responsible for making arrangements tonight."
"There are fixed candidates to guard the food and grass, and there is no need to arrange them."
A general responded.
Other generals also agreed.
"Fang Shangshu, guarding the granary is a top priority. I gave the order a long time ago not to let them take responsibility. There is a special team to take turns guarding it."
Warrior Xun seemed to have just remembered and reported to Fang Yuan.
"So that's it."
Fang Yuan frowned and looked deeply at Samurai Xun.
After a moment, he suddenly smiled, an angry smile.
"Dad, where are they?"
Wu Ruyi seemed to feel something was wrong and quickly asked.
Since my father personally ordered it before, that team should be very trustworthy.
But such a trustworthy team is no longer guarding the granary. Why is it absent?
Because of father’s tacit approval?
Or is it because of other reasons?
"Dad doesn't know now, I have to check to be sure."
"What are you still doing? Why don't you go investigate quickly?"
Warrior Yu said in a deep voice.
"No, let's go back."
Fang Yuan waved his hand and said calmly.
Warrior Xun immediately frowned and looked at Fang Yuan.
But Fang Yuan had already turned around and left, and he couldn't see Fang Yuan's expression.
Seeing Fang Yuan like this, Warrior Xun couldn't help but frown deeper.
"Dad, what's going on with you?"
Wu Ruyi approached the warrior Xun and asked in an almost questioning tone.
Obviously, Fang Yuan discovered something and was extremely disappointed in his father.
This time I came to save my father, but my father actually did such a thing?
"Little sister, why are you talking to daddy!"
Wu Shun suddenly said dissatisfied.
"It's none of your business...do you know anything?"
Wu Ruyi shouted loudly.
Then he frowned and stared at Wu Shun.
My father's behavior tonight was a little strange and different from usual.
"What did you say?"
Wu Shun denies it.
Because she promised that the samurai would be too exposed.
"Okay, dad has his own sense of discretion in this matter, so you don't need to say anything."
Warrior Yu said in a deep voice.
After saying these words, he left and followed Fang Yuan.
Wu Ruyi looked at Samurai Yun, her eyes filled with disbelief, which soon turned into disappointment.
There is no doubt that he is his father, but why should he be like this? What good will it do to him?
Burning the granary is undoubtedly not helping Fang Yuan quell the chaos in the Jingzhou family, but is helping the Jingzhou family.
If you help the Jingzhou family, you are standing on the opposite side of the imperial court. Sooner or later, you will be liquidated by the imperial court.
Wu Ruyi didn't understand, but after catching up with Samurai Yu, she got no answer no matter how she asked.
Wu Ruyi had no choice but to bite the bullet and go to Fang Yuan to plead for mercy.
"Fang Shangshu, it may not be my father who did it."
Wu Ruyi pleaded.
"Did I say it was your father?"
Fang Yuan said expressionlessly.
"But, but..."
Wu Ruyi was so anxious that she almost cried.
Although you never said it, the look on your face tells me that you are my father.
"Okay, please step back."
Fang Yuan still said expressionlessly.
"Fang Shangshu, I don't know why my father is like this. Can you please give me some time?"
Wu Ruyi knelt down with a pop.
With Fang Yuan's power and Fang Yuan's status as representing the imperial court, as long as he sends a letter to the imperial court, his father's fate is almost certain.
"What are you doing? Get up!"
Fang Yuan frowned and said in a deep voice.
"I don't!"
"Please give me some time."
Wu Ruyi shook her head with a firm attitude.
"It's useless for you to do this."
"Your father is not a trafficker, he is the governor of Jingzhou."
"He has decided to make it. You can't convince him to accept his fate."
Fang Yuan didn't give her a chance and turned around to leave.
After turning his back to Wu Ruyi, Fang Yuan's eyes slowly turned cold, flashing coldly in the dark night.
