Chapter nine hundred and twentieth rivers and lakes means
Xu Zheng gathered more than a hundred people and drove away a small group of capital troops and county soldiers. However, these more than a hundred people did not disband, but followed Xu Zheng to Qiwanlou. Xu Zheng and others knew that the county soldiers
The officials are all at Qiwanlou.
He really didn't go to Qiwanlou with his men to use force. Xu Zheng had a close personal relationship with Xu Kuan, the chief clerk of Luoyang County. The two of them had some kind of kinship relationship, but they were relatively far apart.
Xu Zheng can shelter so many fugitives here in Chunpeng Lane, how can he have nothing to do with the county government?
On weekdays, Xu Zheng often gave Xu Kuan benefits, and Xu Kuan also took good care of him. Although Chunpeng Lane was a mixed bag of dragons and snakes, everything was always peaceful, and people from the county government rarely came to check.
Xu Zheng went to Qiwanlou to ask Xu Kuan clearly whether the county government's investigation of Guo District was to catch Gongsun Shu's detailed work, or to target Xu Zheng.
A large group of them marched through Chunpeng Lane and arrived near Qiwan Tower. As soon as they reached the pavilion, they were stopped by the capital army and county soldiers guarding outside.
Looking at the large number of capital troops and county soldiers opposite, Xu Zheng waved his hands to his men, signaling everyone to be calm.
He stepped forward, raised his hands and said, "Everyone, I'm Xu Zheng. I want to see Mr. Xu of the county government. I wonder if Mr. Xu can be here?"
The people in the capital army don't know who Xu Kuan is, but the county soldiers naturally know it. The chief clerk is a very powerful official in the county government, and his status is not low. The miscellaneous affairs of the county government are basically under the chief clerk's control
.
A county soldier took two steps forward, looked Xu Zheng up and down, and asked in a deep voice: "What do you want to see Mr. Xu for?"
"Of course it's an important matter. I'd like to ask this brother to help me. As long as Chief Xu knows that I'm here, he will definitely come out to see me."
"Who are you and Chief Xu?"
"My wife, Xu Zheng, is related to Master Xu." When Xu Zheng told his name, he deliberately emphasized his tone so that the other party could hear clearly that his surname was also Xu.
The county soldier yelled, "Wait here for a while!"
As he spoke, he looked behind Xu Zheng and said, "Let the people you bring be honest and don't act wild here. If you cause trouble, Master Xu will not be able to save you!"
The county soldier didn't know that Liu Xiu was in Qiwan Tower, but he knew that Deng Yu was there. If the right general was really in trouble, the county magistrate and the county lieutenant would not be able to afford it, let alone the first chief secretary?
After warning Xu Zheng and others, the county soldiers ran into the building and quickly climbed to the third floor.
As soon as the county soldiers came up, Dong Xuan and Zhang Bi came out of the box and asked in a deep voice: "What's going on outside? Why are so many people here suddenly?"
The county soldier first looked at the box, and then whispered: "Sir, a man calling himself Xu Zheng came outside and said he wanted to see Chief Xu."
Xu Kuanren is also here, holding a pen and carefully recording the news from various places.
Hearing what the county soldier said, he was shocked. He quickly put down his pen, stood up, bowed to Dong Xuan and said, "Sir, please go down and have a look."
"Do you know that Xu Zheng?"
"I know, I know. Xu Zheng is a distant relative of Xiaguan. He lives in Chunpeng Lane. I don't know why he came to see me."
Dong Xuan waved to Xu Kuan and reminded: "When you see that Xu Zheng, tell him to leave quickly. Are you going to rebel with so many people here?"
Xu Kuan was shocked and hurriedly bowed and responded: "Yes, yes, yes, I will go down and drive them away right now!" After saying this, he trotted downstairs.
Dong Xuan and Zhang Bi walked back to the box, bowed to Liu Xiu, and whispered: "Your Majesty, the person coming outside is named Xu Zheng, and he is a distant relative of Master Xu."
Liu Xiu groaned. He stood in front of the window and looked down. The hundreds of people brought by Xu Zheng were all tall, short, fat and thin, and all kinds of strange things. Many of them didn't look like good people.
He said quietly: "It's not easy for Xu Zheng to gather more than a hundred people!"
Dong Xuan and Zhang Ben both looked thoughtful. Liu Xiu turned to look at Luo You, pointed at Xu Zheng standing in front of the crowd, and asked: "Luo You, do you know this Xu Zheng?"
Luo You walked to the window sill and looked in the direction of Liu Xiu's finger. After a while, she shook her head and said, "Your Majesty, I don't know this person."
Hua Feiyan also came over and looked down, showing a thoughtful look. After a while, she slowly said: "Your Majesty, I remember that there was a general named Xu Zheng in the Qingdu Army, but I don't know about that Xu Zheng."
Zheng is not this Xu Zheng."
Hearing the name of the Qingdu Army, Xu Xuan and Zhang Bi were shocked. At that time, the power of the Qingdu Army expanded from Hanoi to Hebei. At its maximum strength, it reached 200,000 to 300,000 people. Later, it was defeated by His Majesty.
, the remnants survived for a while, but gradually disappeared in the past two years.
If the generals of the Qingdu Army are really hiding in Luoyang City, what is their purpose? To rebel in Luoyang City? Thinking of this, Dong Xuan and Zhang Bi looked at each other, and beads of sweat broke out on their foreheads.
Let's talk about Xu Kuan. He quickly went downstairs and walked out of Qiwan Building. He separated from the crowd of county soldiers, took two steps and came to Xu Zheng. Before Xu Zheng could speak, he pulled Xu Zheng towards him.
He walked a few steps away and reprimanded in a low voice: "Are you crazy? Why did you bring so many people to Qiwan Building? Do you know who is in the building?"
Xu Zheng said: "Brother Kuan, what do you mean by what you are about to ask! This time the county government is investigating Guo District, why didn't you inform my brother in advance? Even if there is an investigation, can't we avoid Chunpeng Lane? You know
Chunpeng Lane is my territory, and the neighbors are all my brothers. Now the county soldiers want to arrest them, can I not stand up for them?"
"You...you won't fight with the county soldiers, right?" Xu Kuan asked blankly.
"Yes, we took action. It's impossible not to take action. They all killed people!"
"Oops!" Xu Kuan couldn't help but hold his forehead, feeling that he was already one head and two heads.
Xu Zheng continued: "There were also the Capital Army present at that time. The Capital Army was more unreasonable than the county soldiers, but there were not many of them. They were all beaten away by my brothers just now!"
When Xu Kuan heard this, his brain ached even more. It was not good for Xu Zheng to poke Lou Zi at any time, but he did it at this time. He grinned and said, "You are in big trouble!"
"What?"
"Do you know who transferred the capital army into the city? Who led it?"
"Who?" Xu Zheng asked subconsciously.
"Right General, Duke Deng!" Xu Kuan rubbed his hands together anxiously and said, "You beat someone from the capital army. Do you think this can be a good thing?"
Xu Zheng also took a breath and couldn't help but ask: "This time, General You and the county government are doing the investigation together?"
"That's right!" Xu Kuan murmured: "Not only General You, there are also bigger figures than General You!"
Xu Zheng shuddered. Deng Yu was the right general and Marquis of Wanhu. How many people were there who were bigger than Deng Yu in Luoyang City?
He pondered for a moment and said urgently: "Brother Kuan, you have to help your brothers. We are forced to use force against the people of the Capital Army. I can't just watch the brothers below being captured by them, right?"
Xu Kuan subconsciously took a step back, shook his head repeatedly, and said: "I...I can't help you this time..." Your Majesty is watching from upstairs now. If he bends the law for personal gain at this time, he will really be asking for death.
road.
Thinking of this, Xu Kuan shuddered and turned around to leave. Xu Zheng took a step forward, grabbed Xu Kuan's sleeves and said, "Brother Kuan, if you leave your brothers alone now, what will happen if you leave us alone?"
How unloyal! You usually don't get enough benefits from your brothers. A while ago, when the county government was expanding, you said that the county government was short of money, but your brothers didn't say anything and directly donated fifty gold to the county government.
!”
When Xu Kuan heard this, he wanted to cover Xu Zheng's big mouth. He glared at Xu Zheng angrily, lowered his voice and yelled: "Why are you talking about this now?"
"Brother Kuan, we are just grasshoppers on the same rope now. If my brother is in trouble, Brother Kuan, do you think you can still recover?"
"Are you fucking threatening me?"
"Don't dare to threaten, brother is just stating the facts. Brother Kuan, we have to be moral as human beings! Normally, nothing happens, and you ask for benefits from time to time. But now that it's time for brother to use you, you push back and hold back?"
Big beads of sweat flowed down Xu Kuan's forehead. He thought about it, flicked his arm, and shook Xu Zheng's hand on his sleeve away. He backed away, shook his head and said, "A Zheng,
I really can't help you this time. If you want to tell what happened between us, just go ahead and tell me. At worst, I will lose my head alone. If I help you, I won't be the only one who will die."
If it doesn't work well, the whole family will lose their heads.
After finishing speaking, he turned around and left without waiting for Xu Zheng's reply. Seeing this, Xu Zheng was about to catch up and grabbed Xu Kuan. A big man behind Xu Zheng roared fiercely, and quickly caught up with Xu Kuan and grabbed him.
He pressed the back of his neck hard to the ground and said angrily: "Guan Guan, do you want to turn your back on me?"
Oops! The moment the big man rushed out, Xu Zheng realized that something was wrong. Sure enough, after this stupid young man ran out, he forced Xu Kuan to the ground when he got close to him.
The nearby county soldiers and the capital army were shocked when they saw this.
In just a moment, the whistle sounded. Immediately afterwards, groups of county soldiers and capital troops rushed out from around Qiwan Tower, surrounding Xu Zheng and the 100 men under him.
"Let go of Mr. Xu! If you hear this, let go of Mr. Xu immediately!" The county soldiers were holding spears or crossbows, glaring at Xu Zheng and others as if facing a formidable enemy.
The big man who was holding Xu Kuan raised his head, looked around, and roared angrily: "If I die, I'll take Xu Kuan, a dog official, as a backing first! I usually eat our food, drink our food, and take our food, but now
There’s no way he wants to leave us alone!”
Several county soldiers standing in front, holding spears, looked at each other and rushed towards the big man together. Before they could get close to the big man, they were blocked by a skinny man. Several county soldiers said nothing.
Don't say anything, just stab with a spear.
They were fast, but the skinny man was faster. Those at the scene only saw the skinny man suddenly turn into a puff of white smoke, and then disappear out of thin air.
Liu Xiu, who was watching upstairs, could clearly see that the white smoke was shaken out of the cuffs of the thin man, who turned behind several county soldiers at an extremely fast speed.
Arriving behind the county soldier, the skinny man kicked out one after another, bang bang bang, he kicked several times in succession on the county soldier's buttocks. The county soldiers screamed strangely, flew forward, and fell to the ground.
He rolled on the ground a few more times before his body came to a stop.
Looking at several county soldiers, their helmets had also fallen off, and the spears in their hands had fallen to no where. They were all looking disgraced and embarrassed.
Liu Xiu's eyes flashed as he watched the excitement upstairs, and his eyes fell on the skinny man for a long time. Hua Feiyan said: "Your Majesty, the smoke hidden in this man's body seems to have a psychedelic effect."
His speed was very fast, but not so fast that it could not be seen clearly with the naked eye. Several county soldiers failed to see his movement trajectory, and they were kicked in the back without any defense.
It can indicate that there is something wrong with the white smoke spilled by the other party.
Liu Xiu nodded and said: "It's a small trick in the world." This kind of shady trick can only be effective in small-scale battles. But when it comes to the battlefield and faces thousands of troops, what will happen?
It has no effect.
Hua Feiyan smiled and said: "This Xu Zheng has some capable people under his command." Liu Xiu looked down on people in the world of martial arts, but Hua Feiyan came from a serious political background. In her eyes, this skinny man was not simple.
