In the lobby of the mansion, Li Xiuyuan was sitting on the main seat holding a piece of letter paper and frowning. Next to him was Li Linfu waiting. Under him were five ghost kings and ghosts and gods from all directions.
"Sage, the leader of the rebellion was Li Liangjin, but he had four great leaders under his command. The Lord City God said that those four leaders were all extraordinary, and the one who first invaded the county was Shi Hu." A Yin soldier clasped his fists.
He saluted and said respectfully.
"It's the old monster from Montenegro. He rebelled with Li Liangjin?" the Zimu Ghost King exclaimed.
Li Linfu squinted his eyes and said: "Sir, this great demon Shi Hu is extraordinary. With him here, it is not as simple as a simple rebellion."
"You're right. It's not that simple when a big demon is involved. Moreover, since Song Shou Chenghuang said that the four leaders are extraordinary, I'm afraid they are all inhuman. I'm afraid they were transformed from a big demon, and their Taoism is not weak.
How many tigers are there? This is no longer just a matter of ghosts and gods. Fu Tianchou needs to know about this matter. Otherwise, with their ability, it will not be a problem to capture half of Yangzhou in a short time." Li Xiuyuan said.
At the same time, he was secretly frightened. No wonder the gods and Buddhas in heaven helped him before. It turned out that they already knew that this military disaster was not simple.
But it cannot be defeated by the imperial army, it needs the help of ghosts and gods.
Li Linfu said: "I'm afraid Fu Tianchou won't believe the news obtained by the ghosts and gods. The news of rebellion must be confirmed to be true before it can be reported. If it is even half-false, it will be the crime of deceiving the emperor. The guilt is not small."
Indeed, officials will not report any rebellion if they are not very certain. Not only that, if it is a small-scale rebellion, officials will even conceal it.
Why?
If someone in the local area rebels, don't the local parents and officials have any responsibility?
Therefore, this resulted in a strange phenomenon, that is, by the time the imperial court learned about the rebellion, the rebels had often become the norm. Even if the imperial court sent troops to quell the rebellion, the price paid was very high.
"Relying on the one-sided words of ghosts and gods is indeed not enough to convince Fu Tianchou. He is an upright civil servant and will not be confused in matters of right and wrong. I can convince him on other small matters, but I cannot convince him on such a big matter."
Li Xiuyuan shook his head slightly and said, "It is best to bring a civil servant or official from the place where the rebellion occurred, even a government official. With a witness, Fu Tianchou will believe it if he doesn't believe it."
"That's true." Li Linfu also nodded.
Li Xiuyuan sighed and said: "In the final analysis, my reputation is too low. If there is an official in my body, I can report it to the court in person. Even if the court is corrupt, it will not ignore the emergence of rebels."
Well, no matter how corrupt the court is, it will never be like this."
Li Linfu suddenly whispered: "Young master, have you forgotten that you have already begun to govern Yangzhou? The list of prefects and county magistrates in various places in Yangzhou has been reported. Why don't ghosts and gods ask them to report the rebellion to the court?"
"It makes sense, but you have to be a decent ghost to give an official a dream. Long-tongued ghost king, you can handle this matter." He was suddenly enlightened by this reminder and immediately gave the order.
"Yes, kid, let's do it now." The long-bearded ghost king responded and immediately turned into a gust of wind and disappeared into the lobby.
At this moment, Ma Dong suddenly walked outside and said, "Young master, there is a man named Mao Wu wandering outside the door. He said he was guided by ghosts and gods to come here to report the rebels."
"Oh, is there such a thing?" Li Xiuyuan's expression changed slightly: "Let him come in."
After a while, a pale man wearing a tattered military uniform walked in with an uneasy expression. He looked around and saw that there was no one in the lobby, but he always felt like someone was staring at him secretly, which made him a little confused.
I was so depressed that I couldn't breathe.
"I have met the owner of this place." Mao Wu bowed his hands and said.
Li Xiuyuan said: "Are you Mao Wu? The defender of the county that was captured by the rebels?"
"Yes, yes." Mao Wu said.
"The rebellion is hundreds of miles away from here. How did you get here?" Li Xiuyuan said.
Mao Wu truthfully told everything that had happened before, and he raised his neck and said: "Look, there is a red line on my neck. It was cut off by the thief's head. If it hadn't been healed by ghosts and gods,
Now I'm dead."
"It was done by the Chenghuang of Song Shou City. He was a scholar during his lifetime, and later became a doctor. He knew some medical skills of ghosts and gods." Li Linfu's voice sounded next to him.
Li Xiuyuan said, "I know the whole story. In addition to your great fortune and destiny, the most important thing for you to survive is that there is one thing you need to do. Now let me go."
"Go, where?" Mao Wu said anxiously.
"Follow me to the Yamen to meet the Minister of War." Li Xiuyuan stood up and said.
"Okay, okay." Mao Wu did not refuse, but followed Li Xiuyuan obediently.
Since it was ghosts and gods who saved me and guided me here to find this young master, then this young master must be trustworthy.
Li Xiuyuan took him and two guards out of the door.
When he arrived at the yamen gate, he asked Niu Er to beat the drum and complain, but he was stopped by the yamen servants.
Li Xiuyuan threw a small piece of silver over: "Don't look for trouble here. Just get out of the way after taking the money. I am a scholar of this year. If you have something to report to the Minister of War, I will give you some benefits this time. If you stop me next time
You’re welcome then.”
"I don't dare, I don't dare. I'm here, young master, to report."
The yamen servant who defended the wrongdoing smiled slyly and retreated honestly.
If he dares to offend any scholar in Jinling City, he will be punished immediately. Who knows which scholar will win the imperial examination? If he becomes an imperial examination scholar, he will become a master. How can he dare to offend a small government servant like himself?
Soon, Niu Er was wronged.
Fu Tianchou, who was handling government affairs in the yamen, heard the sound of drums and frowned: "Who is beating drums to complain about injustice?"
A yamen servant trotted in and said, "Reporting to your lord, Mr. Li named Li Xiuyuan is playing the drum."
"Li Xiuyuan?"
Fu Tianqiu's eyelids jumped when he heard the name, he put down the government affairs in his hand and said: "Let him come in."
Even so, he was murmuring in his heart, why did this Li Xiuyuan suddenly visit him, retaliate against him, and leave in such a formal way? Logically speaking, shouldn't he hand in a greeting card?
"It's not about getting married. If he comes to make trouble, I will never let him go." Fu Tianchou thought to himself.
His letter has been sent to Guobei County. If nothing unexpected happens, he will be waiting for the betrothal gift from the Li family. If Li Xiuyuan makes this happen, he will never agree. His daughter is already determined to marry him. If this happens,
If things don't work out, who knows what will happen.
