Seeing the light of the candle swaying in the wind, Wang Kun felt extremely irritable.
As the governor of Tianshui County, Wang Kun is now under semi-house arrest. He can go anywhere in Tianshui City, except for the city gate, and does not even have a chance to contact any soldiers. Ma Suan and Yin Qian in the army
The partial generals have completely taken control of the army, and there is no doubt that their allegiance is to the Northern Zhou Dynasty and Yang Jian. They have nothing to do with Wang Kun, and are sworn enemies with Li Xingchen outside the city and the rebellious families.
The huge Tianshui City was like a cage, covering him inside.
This left Wang Kun helpless. He asked himself that he was not a good official who cared about the people as his own son. He originally thought that he could just wait for death in this position, and he did not expect any opportunities to be promoted and rise to the top.
As an ordinary local official, when all the local wealthy families have rebelled, it doesn't take much for him to do anything. He should cooperate with the grass-headed kings in these places, obediently accept the change of dynasty, and then maybe
Being kicked out, or continuing to be his parents' official. Wang Kun asked himself that his relationship with several aristocratic families such as the Tianshui Liang family was not bad, so he did not think that he would step down. In other words, the reason why he was able to sit so firmly was because
They have always supported these local aristocratic families, so they will not deliberately create chaos and cause trouble for Wang Kun when assessing political performance and so on.
It's just that Wang Kun didn't expect that all this smooth progress would come to an abrupt end. Now the city no longer belongs to him, and the general who takes over the city may kill him at any time because he really doesn't like him.
.
There are not many troops stationed in Tianshui, and there is not much contact with the officials in the city on weekdays. Wang Kun asked himself that he did not have much friendship with them. Although Wang Kun now wished that he could call them brothers, it was too late.
"Report to the Governor..." A servant carefully pushed open the half-open door, hesitated for a moment and then said, "There is someone coming to visit at the back door."
"What?" Wang Kun was startled for a moment, thinking he heard wrongly.
"There is someone at the back door who claims to be a friend of the prefect. I haven't seen him for many days and I miss him very much, so I came here late at night." The servant said hurriedly.
Wang Kun was a little stunned, but then he vaguely realized something and stood up hurriedly: "Let's go, I will go with you to greet him."
But Wang Kun didn't expect that before he walked to the backyard, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him. This made Wang Kun startled for a moment, but when he saw the person, he breathed a sigh of relief: "
Brother Liang, why did you come here without saying hello and be so mysterious?"
As he spoke, Wang Kun subconsciously took two steps back. At least from the current standpoint, the two of them were enemies rather than friends.
It was Liang Luan who appeared in front of Wang Kun, but at this time Liang Luan was on the verge of crying over this issue. As a visitor of the family, he often traveled between various forces, so he should be considered the most familiar with Wang Kun.
He is a member of the Liang family, so there is no problem in letting Liang Luan come as the Liang family's envoy.
But for Liang Luan, what's the difference between this and walking through a knife-edge mountain with his head held high? Not to mention that there is a little lunatic behind him who is simply a replica of Li Xinchen.
In the darkness, a person unknowingly moved from behind Liang Luan and appeared under the dim light. Wang Kun was startled, and the lantern in the hands of the servant next to him also fell directly to the ground. The man wrapped in a cloak.
The man picked up the lantern with a smile and illuminated Wang Kun's confused face again. Wang Kun realized something and glared at the servant, who hurriedly bowed and retreated.
At this time, the man in black said calmly: "Let's take it easy. Since the back door is only ajar, I took the liberty to come in. Please don't take offense, the eunuch."
Liang Luan smiled bitterly and then said: "Brother Wang, it's cold and windy in the middle of the night, don't you want us to come in and have a seat?"
Wang Kun only reacted at this time and hurriedly made a gesture of invitation.
Although he didn't know why Liang Luan and this unknown man in black appeared at this time, he could vaguely realize that something must be happening. At this time, Liang Luan walked into the room.
, just smiled slightly: "The prefect is sitting alone in the study, he must have been trapped for a long time."
Wang Kun frowned: "We are enemies, not friends. If you have anything to say, please say it. If there is procrastination, don't blame my men for being merciless."
Liang Luan laughed, but did not speak. The man in black, Shi Shiran, sat down, stretched out his hand to lift the cloak on his head, and said with a smile: "Why should the prefect be angry? The prefect is in such a situation now. You have already told us that you
You won’t do it. Why not do it and listen to what we have to say.”
Wang Kun looked suspiciously at this man in black who was not only rude but also a bit aggressive. This guy looked to be in his early twenties, but it seemed that Liang Luan was just his subordinate. Wang Kun knew Liang Luan very well.
As an admirer of the Tianshui Liang Family, although his status is not high, who dares to look down upon him? Every word and deed represents the Tianshui Liang Family, so everyone on the stage must be courteous to him.
.
But today it was obvious that Liang Luan was extremely polite to the man in black.
"Introduce yourself, Sun Sheng, the Marching Registrar under General Zhengbei." The young man said calmly at this time, clearing up the doubts in Wang Kun's mind.
Wang Kun's hand trembled. Changsun Sheng certainly could not have known that the young head of the Changsun family was actually acting on behalf of the Changsun family, and that the Changsun family, the Longxi Li family, and the Hongnong Yang family were already standing together.
Standing behind Chang Sun Sheng were people like Li Xingchen and Yang Su. How could Wang Kun not be surprised?
"I didn't expect it to be the eldest son of the family, so you are so polite." Wang Kun hurriedly stood up and saluted. It was obvious that he was just asking for trouble by putting on airs with someone who was born much nobler than himself.
Changsun Sheng stood up with a smile and returned the salute, and immediately said: "The governor does not need to be so polite. We Ming people do not speak secretly. Brother Liang told me that the governor has always agreed to join the general, but he was trapped in the city. I used the Tianshui Liang family to
Because of the relationship, I ventured into the city just to meet with the prefect and help him stabilize the situation in Tianshui."
"The troops of the Great Situ will arrive soon. At this time..." Wang Kun frowned immediately. He still knew the methods of the Great Situ Yuyi of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. This is why Wang Kun accepted his fate calmly after all.
Later, they would have to face an attack from Yiyi, and rebellion at this time was not necessarily a good thing. And this undoubtedly strengthened the confidence of the generals defending the city.
This was what he found strange. Changsun Sheng was the young master of a great family in Beizhou. How could he not know how terrifying an old killer like Yu Yi was? (To be continued)
