Chapter 361: Dedication to the City (Second Shift, Asking for a Monthly Pass)

(During the May Day period, double the monthly pass!) Ask for a commuter pass! Ask for support! )

Located in Luoyang City, the Henan Mansion (1) Yamen, originally used as the seat of government governance, should have been the place where the prefect's government office handled official business, but after the Henan prefect fled because the Ming army was approaching and abandoning India, the Eight Banners stationed here also entered the government office in a grand manner.

"What do you say about the surname Wei?"

As soon as he saw that his subordinates were back, Liu Zehong asked coldly.

For him, who was subordinate to the Han Army with a yellow flag and a third-class light car captain, and a second-class baron, he naturally couldn't look down on people like Wei Shengyuan.

"When is he coming?"

"Back to my lord, Wei Duzhi said that they will move in early in the morning, but ......"

Looking at Dong Weng, Xie Yashan said cautiously.

"It's just that the villain heard earlier that General Wei is going to give a banquet to his generals tonight."

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Liu Zehong's face changed slightly, and he looked at Xie Yashan and asked.

"Is he feasting, or is it?"

The reason why Liu Zehong let Wei Shengyuan move into this prefect's government office was because he didn't trust these "Han people" in his heart, and now when he heard that Wei Shengyuan was going to invite his generals, his heart was naturally full of suspicions, after all, when his father and uncle rebelled against Ming with Zu Dashou, they had also eaten Zu Dashou's invitation.

This will be his Wei Shengyuan banquet for the generals in the army, could it be that he wants to surrender the thief?

"The villain listened to Wei Duzhi and said that this banquet was invited by Wu Panlong of Luoyang County and the merchant gentry in the city, according to Wei Duzhi, Wu Panlong wanted to invite the merchant gentry of the whole city."

Xie Yashan's answer made Liu Zehong's vigilance, which had just surged in his heart, suddenly disappear invisibly, and he sneered.

"This surnamed Wei is really worthy of being a scholar, he can also squeeze oil out of the stone, he is here to invite the generals to eat, it is clearly to tell those business gentry, if you don't pay the silver, Lao Tzu will not be able to restrain the people!"

Liu Zehong, who was still a little worried, is not worried now, since that person did not forget to squeeze out a few taels of silver from the pockets of the people of Luoyang even at this time, he naturally would not surrender to the thief.

Liu Zehong was relieved here, and dozens of officers in the army over there were eating in the most well-known immortal building in Luoyang City, but although there were delicacies from the mountains and seas on this table, unlike in the past, there was no sister from Qinglou waiting by the side of these generals.

"Junmen, please also invite Haihan, here, the girls in several green buildings in this city have been invited by Vice General Liu......

Say yes, but everyone knows, what kind of invitation is this, it's basically robbed, those Eight Banners soldiers have no other hobbies, every time they go to a place, they will snatch all the women in the green building in the city to the army, this is still bound by military law, put aside a few years, but directly break into the people's homes to rob women.

"Please! Hmph, what a word! ”

Wei Shengyuan first drank a glass of wine, and looked at the generals, but he looked sullen. Wu Panlong said on the side.

"Junmen, it's just some Qinglou women, waiting to turn around ......"

"Humph! This Qinglou woman is not the daughter of my Han family? Wei is a Han person, how can he allow my Han daughter to be ravaged by Hu Dog again! ”

Wei Shengyuan scolded fiercely.

His scolding, only let Wu Panlong listen to the fright, all trembling with fright, especially the word "Hu Dog" made his heart jump in horror, he has seen, when he went to the examination in the capital, a person in the same year just said "Hu Ren", how was he slashed and killed on the street by the banner man, the flag man was not only innocent, but even the same year was punished by the imperial court.

In fright, Wu Panlong hurriedly laughed.

"Jun, Junmen, you, you drank too much, you can't talk nonsense, just bear ......with it"

"Forbearance? Since the martyrdom of the emperor, I have endured it, and now, as long as my Han family is a son, how can I endure it any longer! Slammed the cup to the ground, Wei Shengyuan looked at the dozen or so gentry in this hall fiercely, only to see that they all looked at each other, sitting there in panic, and didn't even dare to come out.

The sound of the wine glass shattering made Wu Panlong's heart suddenly tighten, although he didn't know what was going on, but he had already guessed that something was going to happen today.

As Wu Panlong guessed, at this time the city was full of cannons, the sound of cannons came from the west of the city at the beginning, where the school was located, and it was also the barracks of the Eight Banners......

Something is wrong!

There was no need to think about it, Wu Panlong also knew what was going on, his back was completely sweaty, and even his eyelids were no longer startling, and those gentry in the city just listened to the sound of guns outside in horror. When everyone was panicking, they only heard Wei Shengyuan say slowly.

"The reason why Wei was invited by Liu Qingtai to help him train his troops was precisely for the sake of my Ming Dynasty today, and now my Ming Dynasty's 300,000 Northern Expedition troops are outside Luoyang City, and this town intends to dedicate the city to Daming, I don't know if you have any objections?"

"We have no objection......"

These gentry dare to have any objections, not to mention such a good thing as returning to the Ming Dynasty, even if they sacrifice the city to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, they will not say a word at this time.

"Good!"

Nodding vigorously, Wei Shengyuan continued.

"In that case, then the matter is settled!"

Just when everyone seemed to be about to breathe a sigh of relief, they only heard Wei Shengyuan say.

"Wei has another matter to discuss with you, this tomorrow will open the city gate to welcome the army into the city, we can't welcome each other empty-handed, so Wei plans to raise 500,000 taels of silver to comfort the Northern Expedition army, I don't know what you think?"

What do you think about this, naturally no one is allowed to say a word, but compared with the previous Lisuo, these people have all become ugly, these 500,000 taels of silver, naturally it is impossible for Wei Shengyuan to come out, and it must be them who give the silver.

500,000 taels!

This is really not a small number, if the big families in the city are divided according to the head, a household will be divided into at least 10,000 thousands of taels, this silver is taken out, it is distressing!

What's more, this silver was finally dedicated to Li Ziyuan.

No one spoke, they just lowered their eyelids and sat there, it seemed that at this time, everyone knew that since the person surnamed Wei here had moved the knife, then he would definitely open the city gate, open the city gate, and still be the head of his surname Wei?

Instead of letting his surname Wei take the big guy's silver to invite merit in front of Li Ziyuan, it is better to directly dedicate it to Li Ziyuan in the name of Luoyang's father, and it doesn't need so much, at most 200,000 taels is enough, when the Qing army came, but only 100,000 taels of labor army silver were offered. What's more, now I don't know who will lose and who won!

Distressed?

Looking at everyone's silent appearance, Wei Shengyuan, who knew what their idea was, sneered in his heart,

Don't worry!

If you are willing to wait, Lao Tzu will accompany you to wait!

After about half a pillar of incense, the outside finally fell silent, and the sound of guns and cannons that resounded through the sky also disappeared. Heaven and earth were silent, as if nothing had happened. But Wu Panlong and the others, who were already restless, were beating their hearts violently at the moment.

Who wins and who loses?

When everyone was nervous, Wei Shengyuan, who was sitting on the table, was calmly drinking tea, and the dozens of generals in the army were also laughing there, as if everything was under his control. Even so, Wu Panlong could still see a fleeting uneasiness from his eyebrows.

At this time, who can not be nervous?

In the midst of this tension, I don't know if it's an illusion, but I feel that the air is choking more and more, and there seems to be a smell of smoke in my nose.

Suddenly, there was a rush of footsteps outside the door, it seemed that many people were walking towards the restaurant, the hurried footsteps made the hearts of Wu Panlong and others beat even harder, and even some gentry were so frightened that they turned pale, and they didn't even dare to gasp for air.

In case it's the Eight Banners who come......

"Report to the military gate, it's over!"

Before Wei Du's people entered the room, a voice came in. Only then did Wu Panlong notice Wei Shengyuan's seemingly relaxed look, and only then did he really relax. He could even see Wei Shengyuan's smug brow when he heard Wei Duzhi's report. I saw Wei Duyi, who was covered in blood, enter the layer and said.

"Junmen, this is the head of Liu Zehong's subordinate officials in the prefect's yamen. In addition, Sun Tianxing and the others have already captured the West Gate, and the Eight Banners in Nafu School have also been burned! ”

A fire burned!

No wonder he smelled smoke before, no wonder he Wei Shengyuan was so relieved, after all, it was thousands of Eight Banner soldiers!

As soon as Wei Duzhi's words fell, dozens of human heads were thrown into the room, and the pungent bloody aura instantly diffused in the room. The smell of blood and the blurred head of flesh and blood made Wu Panlong and the others all pale with fright, and finally a gentry couldn't help but vomit while lying on his stomach.

While those gentry were frightened and just cowered to the side, Wei Shengyuan didn't even look at them.

"What about Liu Zehong? Why don't you have that miscellaneous head? ”

"Bring it in!"

As Wei Du shouted, Liu Zehong, who was tied up by the five flowers, was escorted into the room. As soon as Liu Zehong saw Wei Shengyuan, he immediately opened his eyes angrily and gritted his teeth and scolded.

"Wei Shengyuan, do you want to rebel!"

"Wrong! As a Han Chinese, how could Wei create a rebellion against Hulu. I, Wei Shengyuan, a dignified Han person, how could I be willing to be a watchdog like you! ”

At this time, Wei Shengyuan was full of righteous and awe-inspiring appearance.

"Come on, send this traitor on the road!"

"Wei Shengyuan, you dog minion! You don't have to die well! ”

When he was pulled out of the room, Liu Zehong continued to struggle, screaming and scolding, and after a while, with a scream, the scolding also disappeared. After a while, Wei Duzhi came in again, holding the pigtail with the thickness of his little thumb in his hand, and the blood flowed down the severed head.

Wei Shengyuan didn't even look at the head, but just turned his gaze back to the gentry who were already trembling with fear and even paralyzed on the ground, and sneered.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Wei can't hold sand in his eyes, although this traitor surnamed Liu has been beheaded, but there are still traitors in this Luoyang City! I wonder what you think? ”

The gentry, who had already sat down in fright, did not understand the threat in his words, and all nodded their heads again and again.

"What the general said is very true, very much, we wait, we wait, we are all the people of the Ming Dynasty, and I am willing to work ...... the army."
