Chapter 347: The so-called people's heart

There are no heroes in the Western State!

In the open space, countless arrows and halberds pointed at each other, and no one dared to take even a small step forward.

Not only that, many timid people took advantage of the fact that the officials in the crowd were not paying attention, and quietly moved back, and some didn't care to look at the official's iron blue face, so they simply turned around and ran, some people took the lead, and the decline became more and more unstoppable, and hundreds of people ran away in an instant, and the rest stood outside the gate with a look of fear.

Cao Yu was almost mad, he didn't expect Li Su's upright man to be so arrogant and domineering, and a sentence of "weighing heroes" would make the entire Xizhou short of breath.

Jiang Quan stood in front of the gate with his sword, and as the cavalry soldiers lined up the battle array, Jiang Quan's whole person's momentum changed in vain, the sword was raised, his face was full of murderous intent, and the tip of the sword pointed directly at Xiang Tian, and then took a step forward.

Xiang Tian's face changed, and he had the intention to meet the sword, but when he saw the murderous cavalry soldiers in the Yuanmen, and then looked at the few and less than 100 people behind him today, Xiang Tian was afraid, and couldn't help but take a step back, Jiang Quanping raised his sword and took another step forward, and Xiang Tian retreated again......

After repeating this, what little courage the officials and people had left finally disappeared, and the crowd began to slowly move back.

Cao Yu's face was pale, and his three-inch green beard under his chin trembled slightly, trying to support the face and dignity of Thorn Shi, but his heart was like a huge wave.

A teenager can have such courage and courage, his official position and title...... Is it really by inviting pets?

Li Su stared at Cao Yu, smiled faintly, and said, "Cao Tingshi, since you want to enter my camp to have a look." How dare the lower officials disobey? Lord Thorn, please come in. ”

Cao Yu looked at the still murderous cavalry soldiers in the gate, and the sharp arrows that emitted a cold and cold light on the bowstring. Looking at Li Su's respectful and gentle smile on his face, Cao Yu felt a chill in his heart, like the officials and people just now, he couldn't take this step.

"This official, this official...... Hum! Cao Yu shook the sleeves of his robe fiercely and turned to leave.

As soon as Cao Yu left, the remaining officials who were holding on were like amnesty. hurriedly followed Cao Yu and left, and today's so-called righteous action to arrest the real culprit has finally become a farce.

Li Su stared at the backs of Cao Yu and the others. With a puzzled face, he turned his head to look at Jiang Quan: "Just now I shouted and shouted to enter my camp, and now I took the initiative to invite him in, why did he run away?" ”

Jiang Quan sneered: "Don't give the general's order, whoever dares to step into the gate will be shot on the spot." How can a puppet surnamed Cao have the guts? ”

Li Su was stunned. Seeing that the backs of Cao Yu and the others had gone away, and only small black dots remained, Li Suyang raised his hand and put an ambiguous afterthought: "Hey, I won't shoot you......"

***************************************************************

The turmoil subsided temporarily, and Li Su forced the case down in an extremely arrogant and domineering way.

However, this method eventually fell behind, and the arrow was on the bow at that time. Li Su was also forced to be helpless, but there was a gentler way. He would not choose to use this method to offend the officials and people of the whole city to eliminate the disaster.

In Xizhou, Li Su is not a temporary passer-by, at least he has to stay for two or three years, and now he has offended the officials and people of the city just after he came, how can Li Su still be able to wander leisurely on the streets of Xizhou in the future? The second-in-command in the city has become a street rat that everyone shouts and beats, how can everyone play happily in the future?

"At the end of today, people will be sent out of the camp to buy grain, but they will return empty-handed, the merchants in the east and west cities of the city are unwilling to sell grain to us, and the officials and people in the city are quite resentful, and the people who go out of the camp are being abused everywhere. Jiang Quan squatted sullenly in the corner of the handsome tent, with a depressed face, and the high-spirited appearance of yesterday was completely gone.

Wang Zhu on the side also sighed with a sad face: "The wine shop doesn't sell wine to me anymore, walking around the streets of the city, there are always a few rotten eggs and rotten vegetable leaves smashed on the head for some reason, and I can't find anyone when I look back, the food in the camp is difficult to eat, and I haven't touched meat for several days......"

Li Su was stunned for a long time, and sighed with a wry smile: "This is a non-violent non-cooperation movement......

"What violence?" The new term made Jiang Quan stunned when he heard it.

Li Su glanced at him, too lazy to explain.

"Li Beijia, the food in the camp can only last for three or five days, if you can't buy food again, the camp will run out of food in three or five days, in this vast desert, except for Xizhou, I'm afraid I can't find any other place to buy food, what should I do, you have an idea." Jiang Quan said with a bitter face.

Li Su rolled his eyes: "What can I do?" I can't grow food, and the nearest city to Xizhou is thousands of miles away, and I am afraid I won't be able to run through it for three or five days......"

Jiang Quan's expectant face gradually turned into disappointment, squatting on the ground and hanging his head, like an old farmer who had suffered a natural disaster, with a desperate expression on his face that he had nowhere to escape.

Li Su touched his smooth and hairless chin, pondered for a moment, and said hesitantly: "Or...... Let's ask hundreds of people to pretend to be bandits in the desert, and we also learn from the bandit seniors to rob the caravan when they see it, and deliberately leave some tricks when they turn around, saying that they are instructed by Cao Yu, the assassin of Xizhou, you see, it not only solves the food crisis, but also leads to disasters, I am simply a genius......"

Jiang Quan's eyes widened, carefully studied Li Su's expression, was silent for a long time, and said, "Are you serious?" ”

"Seriously." Li Su nodded sincerely, and then asked, "Can you do this?" ”

Jiang Quan shook his head: "No." ”

"Then I didn't say it."

glanced at Jiang Quan regretfully, this guy's biggest shortcoming is that he is too disciplined, he is almost hungry, and he still refuses to do things that hurt nature and reason, covering his face and robbing some food, what a big deal, pedantic!

"Li Su, don't you know how to make earth-shaking thunder? Make a few more, and in the middle of the night, I lit it and threw it into the assassin's mansion, and it was a hundred! Wang Zhuan said with a murderous face.

Li Su threw an appreciative look at him, look, this guy is obviously not disciplined much,...... In other words, who taught Wang Zhu to be so immoral?

…………

"The will of the people in Xizhou is the source of the problem......," Li Su sighed.

Jiang Quan said gloomily: "We have almost become the public enemy of Xizhou." The last general has never encountered such an encounter in the city of the Tang Dynasty in his life. ”

Then Jiang Quan gritted his teeth and said: "This Cao Yu really deserves to die, and he made a so-called case of ruining a woman from a good family, so that the people of the city hate us deeply." And we have a hard time arguing......"

Li Su smiled and said, "Do you know what 'people's hearts' are? ”

Jiang Quan looked at him suspiciously and shook his head.

"Have you ever seen a sheep herding? You see, the shepherd is going to drive the sheep back into the pen, and he doesn't go around the whole flock, but he just stares at the sheep in the lead, and goes astray, goes away. A pebble was thrown over, and the leader was corrected, and the flock behind followed him honestly......"

Jiang Quan was confused. His expression was still puzzled.

Li Su explained with a smile: "The so-called people's heart, the same, this is not something too mysterious and profound, it is said that 'the people can make it'." Actually, it's the other way around. The people can also be foolish, as long as we find the leading sheep, all problems will be solved. ”

Jiang Quan looked at him and blinked quickly.

Li Su sighed, he knew that what he had just said was in vain. Some people will always obey orders and never think for themselves, such as Jiang Quan.

"King pile. Go to the city and secretly invite that Qian Fuzi to the camp, this time be polite. Be gentle. ”

Wang Zhu scratched his head: "What if he refuses to come?" ”

"Tsk!" Li Su glared at him dissatisfiedly: "Do you still need to ask?" Beat him, the one who toasts and doesn't eat and drinks, deserves it. ”

…………

…………

Qian Fuzi came quickly and took the initiative, although he was just a butcher, he was obviously a person who liked to drink toasts.

Li Su looked at him with a pleasant face, his eyes were full of appreciation, because he found that Qian Fuzi looked good today, and his face covered with pimples and acne faintly had a bit of inexplicable wisdom, Li Su knew that the decision to invite him to the camp today was right, and he would not let himself down.

"Master Qian, how much do you get in a year?" Li Su asked with a smile.

Qian Fuzi thought for a while and said, "Excluding the heavy taxes of the government, there is not much left, about three taels of silver cakes." ”

Li Su nodded: "Being able to earn three taels a year in this wild land of Xizhou can be regarded as a solid middle-class family, and your life is good." ”

Qian Fuzi grinned and said: "There are not many people in the city who can eat meat, and the villain's business is mainly given by the officials of the Assassin Mansion and the generals of the Zhichong Mansion. ”

Li Su stared at his face and said slowly, "How about I give you thirty taels of silver cakes?" When you get into ten years. ”

Qian Fuzi paused for a moment, and then his face was full of surprise, but finally he quickly calmed down, and said with a smile: "I don't know what the official master has to say that the villain needs to serve?" ”

Li Su nodded, well, he is a smart person, compared to the last time he was beaten and rolled all over the ground, today's Master Qian is obviously much more pleasing to the eye.

"There's nothing to order, I just need one piece of news, this news is worth thirty taels, do you want to make this deal?"

Qian Fuzi nodded without hesitation: "Do!" ”

After a pause, Master Qian smiled all over his face, and said mysteriously with a philistine expression: "Actually, the villain roughly knows what news the official wants, to be honest, as early as after the incident in the city, the villain inquired clearly, and waited for the official to give an order." ”

Li Su blinked: "Do you know what I'm going to ask?" ”

"Yes."

"Okay, then tell me, who is behind this?"

Master Qian's face was pale, and he was obviously confident about the answer to this question: "Official, the villain is a butcher in the city, and the people who come to the villain to buy meat are all the officials and servants of the Assassin's Mansion, and some news can easily enter the villain's ears, and the person who instructed this matter is an official of the Assassin's Mansion, but not Cao Assassin's History, guess who?" ”

Li Su smiled a little gloomy: "Master Qian, let me tell you a truth, if you want to get these thirty taels, speak quickly, don't create any suspense, and don't let the person who pays you be your favor, if you say one more nonsense, thirty taels will soon become twenty taels......"

Qian Fuzi was startled, hurriedly corrected his mistake, and said very happily: "Feng Sima, that white and fat guy in the Assassin Mansion, this matter is all secretly instructed by him. ”

"The daughter of the Zhao family in the north of the city has really been ruined?"

"It's true, but it's not clear whether the Zhao family's daughter hanged herself or not......"

A murderous intent quickly flashed in Li Su's eyes. (To be continued......)
