"Wait a minute! Wait a minute!"
Cheng Zhe hurriedly stood in front of Prefect Lu at this moment. He was really afraid that these desperate lunatics under Liu Taozi would kill the prefect as well.
Prefect Lu also came to his senses. He stared at Liu Taozi angrily, wanting to say something, but he did not dare to speak.
Cheng Zhe added: "The Cui family has hidden crossbows and armor, and it is true that they have evil intentions. Lieutenant Liu is aware of everything and saw through their treacherous plan. Duke Lu did not know anything about it. The lieutenant found a large number of weapons from their house."
The crossbows and armor show that they do have the idea of ​​​​rebellion!"
Prefect Lu didn't say anything. He just pulled the reins, turned the horse's head, and left immediately. The knights followed him one after another. Cheng Zhe and Magistrate Zheng also hurriedly left together.
"You two, please stay."
Liu Taozi stopped them.
The two of them were stiff at this moment. They just turned around, looked at Liu Taozi, and smiled awkwardly, "I wonder if Liu Gong has any other instructions?"
"Come with me."
Liu Taozi turned around and walked towards Uburg. The two men looked at each other and hurriedly followed him. The three of them walked into the gate of Uburg.
Inside Uburg, corpses piled up like mountains, there were pools of blood everywhere, there was no clean place, and many house doors were open. Knights were still driving carriages, carrying loads of harvest, towards the school grounds.
direction forward.
Someone was piling crossbows and armor in the front yard.
There is indeed a lot of this stuff.
Magistrate Zheng and Cheng Zhe both looked a little uneasy. Although they had no conflicts with Mr. Liu and got along well with each other on weekdays, the impression Liu Taozi gave them was too bad and too crazy.
What a behemoth the Cui family is. They hit and kill whenever they ask. This is without considering the consequences at all!!
You have so many cavalry that you can attack them as soon as you attack them. How can you rear?
The Cui family has several ministers in the court, not to mention local officials. The total number of contacts and friends in all aspects is so terrifying. This has offended the Cui family to death. How to deal with them next?
What about the counterattack??
Magistrate Zheng was extremely afraid of Liu Taozi, thinking that this person was a lunatic who could hurt others at any time and should not be contacted easily.
As for Cheng Zhe, Cheng Zhe had a good impression of Liu Taozi and admired him very much. However, he also felt that Liu Taozi was too dangerous. He had never seen anyone with such a style in his many years in the military, except those from the clan.
Both of them were unwilling to contact Liu Taozi, but at this moment, they were surrounded by Liu Taozi's knights, and they did not dare to refuse Liu Taozi's invitation.
Liu Taozi led them all the way. There were houses burning everywhere, and the charred corpses were lying at the door, keeping the posture of running out.
Magistrate Zheng took a deep breath. Half-feared, he secretly looked at Liu Taozi and asked, "Mr. Liu, what are your orders?"
Liu Taozi finally stopped, "Their family has a lot of money and food."
"It's not just money and food, there are also many treasures, but the most important ones are land deeds and the like."
Liu Taozi turned to look at them, "Most of the public grant fields in Anping are in the Cui family's name, right?"
Magistrate Zheng was a little confused, but still nodded, "Maybe so."
"Originally, the county magistrate said that Anping is short of food, but I think Anping is not short of food, it's just that the food has never entered the hands of the government."
"Can the government take back the large amount of cultivated land in this big house, and then grant it to the people who actually have no land for farming according to the system?"
Magistrate Zheng nodded, "Okay, okay. Liu Shijun is really kind and caring about the people. This is the best thing."
With a smile on his face, he said, "I will do this when I get back."
Cheng Zhe hesitated for a moment and did not speak.
Liu Taozi stopped trying to stay, waved her hands, and the two left in a hurry. Tian Zili wiped the blood on his face, looked at the two people leaving, and said helplessly: "This county magistrate didn't take it seriously at all.
, both of them are in a hurry to leave and would never think of doing such a thankless thing. There are still few officials like my brother."
Liu Taozi did not speak.
Tian Zili looked at the ruined Uburg, and then smiled bitterly, "If someone had said six months ago that I would lead a group of Xianbei people to plunder the Han people, I would have thought he was crazy. I didn't expect it. In fact,
I didn’t expect that.”
Liu Taozi glanced at him and said, "They are not Han people."
"ah?"
"They are the source of the massacre and enslavement of the Han people."
"The Jin you longed for was destroyed by people like this."
"This guy is crazy, he is indeed crazy!!"
Magistrate Zheng rode his horse and rushed towards the county government office, his face full of fear, "What else are you saying about granting land? It will be difficult for him to survive this time!"
"Everyone from top to bottom has been offended by him. What do you think he wants?"
"Isn't this a disease? He insists on breaking down the house and exterminating his family even though he can get money and food by threatening him. This is good. This matter cannot be suppressed at all. The whole world will know about it. It's broken, it's broken.
.”
Cheng Zhe suddenly asked: "It's very strange that he came here. It was obviously not the time when officials were promoted normally, and he was suddenly appointed. Or he was appointed directly by the temple, and he came with Cui Gong. Do you think he should be...
"
Hearing these words, Magistrate Zheng trembled all over and looked at the rough martial artist beside him in disbelief.
He quickly stopped his horse and said dully: "Yes, those Xianbei people have always been arrogant. Even the prefect can't suppress them. How could he let all the Xianbei people be used by him when he first came?"
"And his transfer was sent by the temple on a horse. As soon as he arrived, he fought with the Cui family to death. Now Yang Gong was in charge of the temple, and the two Cui Gongs in the second house were close to the two kings, and they were all dismissed by him."
Magistrate Zheng's expression kept changing. At this moment, he suddenly remembered many things.
His face turned pale instantly.
He raised his head and looked at Cheng Zhe desperately, "Oh no, Mr. Cheng, we are involved in something big!"
Cheng Zhe said nothing, and the two looked at each other for a moment.
"Gotta find the prefect!!"
The two of them quickly rushed forward on horseback, much faster than before.
At this moment, inside the county government office, Prefect Lu was furiously smashing things. He brutally attacked those things in the house that would not resist. He made the entire inner room a mess.
But Prefect Lu didn't vent his anger. He touched the wound on his face and almost went crazy with anger.
"What a piece of shit! What a piece of shit!"
"Come here, I want to write a letter to the temple, the county captain is rebelling!!"
Just as Governor Lu was about to pick up his pen, he saw Zheng and Cheng rushing in.
As soon as they entered, the two of them were frightened by the mess in the inner room. Magistrate Zheng noticed what the prefect was writing. He walked forward quickly and hurriedly bowed to Prefect Lu, holding his hand tightly.
"Mr. Lu!! Calm down your anger! Calm down your anger!"
Seeing these two people, Prefect Lu was even more angry. He pointed at them and cursed: "And you two mediocre people, one gives orders to others, and the other doesn't know how to stop him in time."
Prefect Lu scolded them both bloody, but Magistrate Zheng remained indifferent. When the prefect was tired of scolding him, he said: "Prefect Lu, I'm afraid that things in this matter are not as you thought.
It’s simple”
He glanced at Cheng Zhe, and then said slowly: "This man was sent directly from the temple to take up his post. He then continued to fight against the Cui family and quickly regained the local Xianbei people."
He told the other party a few points that he had just thought about.
Governor Lu was suddenly stunned. He pondered for a moment, and his anger suddenly disappeared. He suddenly picked up the memorial in front of him, tore it up and threw it aside.
"If that's the case, just ignore it for now and pretend nothing happened."
Magistrate Zheng smiled bitterly and said, "But something has happened to the Cui family. Even if nothing happens, I'm afraid I won't be able to escape from it."
Prefect Lu was unusually calm at this moment, changing from his usual irritability. "Don't worry. If such a big thing happens, the governor will definitely come. The governor is yes. You also know his identity. Wait until he comes."
Let’s talk about it later.”
"Then if someone from the Cui family comes,"
"I won't go to see you. If you go to see him, just say that you have to wait for the governor to come and make a decision. Don't draw any conclusions or make any promises."
"only!!"
Cui Mansion.
A servant sat aside with an uneasy expression. Cui Jishu took his pulse carefully. While taking his pulse, he took out a medical book and started to read it.
"Master, I'm fine."
"Well, you are indeed fine. You just suffered from some cold. You should rest at home for a few days and don't go out again. I will write you a recipe and you can follow it. You will be well in less than ten days."
Cui Jishu said, and then promoted the other party to write.
"Thank you so much, Master, thank you so much, Master."
The servant wiped the sweat from his forehead. His master liked to treat people, but if he hadn't caught him, no one would dare to come to see him. After all, there was a gap in status.
Cui Gang walked in angrily, gasping for air, "Father, it's not good! It's not good!"
Cui Jishu ignored him, but handed the recipe to the slave in front of him, and then ordered him to go back and rest. When he raised his head and looked at his son, Cui Gang's eyes were full of fear, and he trembled and said: "Father
, the main house was breached, and the entire Wubao was almost burned down. It is said that more than a hundred carloads of corpses were carried out from inside, and they are still being transported out. I don’t know how many died.”
"Those Xianbei people moved all the things they robbed to the school grounds. It is extremely lively there now, and the people in the city are too scared to come out."
Cui Jishu frowned and hesitated for a moment before standing up.
"Then it's almost time now, prepare a car for me."
"ah?"
Cui Gang didn't understand. All the big houses had been killed, so what should he do now? But his father gave the order, and he didn't dare to refuse, so he hurried to prepare.
Soon, Cui Jishu was sitting in the car, driven by his son, followed by only four or five people, and rushed towards the school ground.
Cui Jishu sat in the car, her face gloomy, and she was lost in thought.
Cui Gang, who was driving, interrupted his thoughts again, "Father, do you really don't need to bring more people with you? If the five or six of us are held hostage by them?"
Cui Jishu ignored him at all.
The most powerful steel knife in Anping is currently nestled in Liu Taozi's hand. What's the use if it's all out?
The carriage soon arrived outside the school grounds.
As soon as they arrived here, they were stopped by several knights. Cui Gang looked at the fierce and bloody knight in front of him, with obvious fear on his face. He cleared his throat and said: "My father is here.
I pay my respects to Lieutenant Liu. My father is the former minister of the imperial court."
The knight looked at each other and then hurried back to report.
The rest of the people still looked at them fiercely, which made Cui Gang particularly uneasy.
At this moment, a man suddenly rushed up on horseback. The man got off the horse with a smile, and then hurriedly saluted Cui Gang, "I pay my respects to you, gentleman. I wonder if Mr. Cui is in the car?"
Cui Gang saw that this man was quite polite, so he finally breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly returned the greeting, "I've met you, my father is in the car."
The man then walked up to the car, bowed and said, "Tian Zi, the master of the Boling County military building, is bowing to Mr. Cui!!"
Cui Jishu walked out of the carriage, looked at the young man who fell in front of him, smiled and helped him up, stroking his beard happily, "They say that Lieutenant Liu is a rough guy and doesn't know etiquette, but now it seems that...
The owner of this building is so aware of etiquette, the rumors are wrong!!"
Tian Zili's face was full of smiles, "Now Mr. Cui, how dare you be rude?"
He led Cui Jishu towards the school grounds.
Today's school grounds are really very lively. Knights are coming in and out, and all kinds of money and food are piled up on both sides. Everyone's faces are filled with smiles and joy, talking and laughing.
Cui Jishu walked in front, turning a blind eye to everything around him, so Tian Zili invited him into the inner room.
Liu Taozi sat in the upper seat, with no one else around him.
This is the first time Cui Jishu sees Liu Taozi.
The moment the two met, Cui Jishu was stunned. His eyes widened and he looked at Liu Taozi, who was sitting on top, and was stunned for a long time.
Liu Taozi stood up, bowed lightly and said, "Meet Mr. Cui."
Only then did Cui Jishu react, "Ah, I'm out of character. I'm out of character. The appearance of Lieutenant Liu is very similar to that of an old friend of mine. Very similar."
He actually walked to the left in a few steps and sat down directly. He had no intention of sitting on the top. Liu Taozi was even more rude. When she saw him taking the seat, she also sat in her own seat. She looked like Cui Jishu.
The monarch!!
Tian Zili sat opposite Cui Jishu.
After the three of them sat down, Cui Jishu said: "I have heard that Liu Shanmang was born in Cheng'an. He is an upright and strong man who cleans up the place. The thieves are so afraid of him that it is unimaginable that he meets Liu Gong so soon."
Liu Taozi did not speak, he just looked at Cui Jishu in front of him.
Cui Jishu stroked his beard and said, "Liu Junwei is curious about my purpose, right?"
"Exactly."
"Liu Lieutenant has captured the big house now. Next, I'm afraid he will attack the big house?"
"right."
"I am the second wife, does the county lieutenant want to operate on me first?"
"Did Mr. Cui come to stop me?"
Both of them spoke very fast. Tian Zili, who was sitting across from him, could barely keep up with their speaking speed. After the two of them finished talking, they fell silent at the same time.
Tian Zili frowned. Things in the Cui family are indeed very troublesome, especially the second brother, who is the most powerful. The old man Cui Jishu has a great reputation. If he is killed, he may cause a lot of trouble.
Cui Jishu spoke again at this moment, "I am indeed here to stop you, but not to stop you from doing things, but to stop you from killing people."
"Oh? What's the difference?"
"I know what you are here for. You want to take back the fields and distribute them out, turning Cui's City into Anping City again, don't you?"
"I can help you."
Cui Jishu said very kindly: "Look, you have people under your command now. Well, you even have weapons and equipment. It can be said that no one can suppress you here in Anping. However, this time you broke through the big house."
, but it frightened the other sects. If you want to break through the other houses, it will not be so easy. They will definitely resist to the death. With cavalry like you, if they resist to the death, even if they can break through, you will
Pay a huge price."
"Besides, the Cui family's strength not only comes from their own servants and guards, but also from external forces."
"When one official impeaches you, Yang Min may be able to survive, but what will you do when ten or a hundred officials come to impeach you? If the temple wants to arrest you, will you have to go up the mountain to become a bandit?
"
"That temple is going to use all its strength to catch you. This Jinyang has sent out three thousand iron cavalry, and they will surely take you to Yecheng to hold you accountable!"
"In other words, if you want to attack by force, the resistance will be huge. Moreover, if you are so reckless, the officials in the city may not follow you. If they don't come to help you, can you still distribute the land yourself? You just
As a county lieutenant, don't you need the help of officials to help you with things like breaking Cui's City?"
"So, the best way now is for me to help you. Over the years, some people in the Cui family have indeed gone too far. It's time for them to stop and hand over their things."
"What do you think?"
After Cui Jishu said these words, Tian Zili felt shaken. The more he thought about it, the more he realized that what the old man said really made sense.
Liu Taozi also looked at Cui Jishu quietly. He suddenly asked: "Why did Mr. Cui come to help me?"
Cui Jishu raised his head and said nonchalantly: "Hey, I don't want to see you slaughtering my people like this. However, the Cui family should really restrain themselves. Use your hands to make them restrain themselves without seeing any blood. This
Isn’t it great?”
"How is it? Is my idea still valid?"
"No."
Liu Taozi replied.
Cui Jishu was stunned and said again: "Why can't it be done? Is it possible that you still can't understand the reason??"
"Cui Gong is smart and a capable minister in the temple. I am just an Orion and am dull, so I dare not listen to your advice."
What does it mean?? It means that I am too smart and you are afraid of being cheated by me??
Cui Jishu was stunned for a long time, and then he changed his mind again, "Is it possible that you don't want to stabilize Boling County?"
"That's what I thought."
"Therefore, I ask Mr. Cui to stay in the school grounds for the time being and not to go out."
Chapter completed!
