Li Hong, accompanied by Wang Fendi, slowly rode his horse into the city. Wang Fen was very enthusiastic, and introduced the history and allusions of Yecheng to Li Hong along the way, but as soon as he turned into the main street, Wang Fen's face suddenly fell.

On both sides of the streets in the city, densely packed with people, everyone saw Li Hong appear in the team entering the city, and they all let out a sky-shattering shout: "Leopard...... Here comes the leopard......"

Li Hong's heart was hot, and he drove forward violently, raising his hands and bowing to the welcoming crowds on both sides of the street.

"Leopard ......"

"Hello adults......"

As the mood of the people became higher and higher, the cheers became louder and louder, and it was very lively.

Wang Fen turned his face to glare at Xu Yu beside him, and asked in a low voice, "What's going on?" Who leaked the news? ”

Xu You and several colleagues looked at each other, dazed and helpless.

"Order the soldiers of the pro-guard team to open the way in front, and those who dare to collide will be killed!" Wang Fen shouted an order at Cao Hanfang, the thief under the door of the mansion.

"Lord Lin...... Master Pan......"

Lin Xun and Panta heard the shouting and hurriedly stepped forward.

Li Hong only brought Li Wei, Zhao Yun, Jiang Wu, Pang De, Arc Ding, Qi Shen and thirty Ti cavalry into the city for the banquet, and the rest were officers of Yuan Shu and Changshui Battalion. In order to ensure Li Hong's safety, Wang Fen specially asked Lin Xun and Panta to accompany him with two hundred elite soldiers in case of accidents.

At this time, the people of Yecheng on both sides of the street gathered more and more, shouting, firecrackers, gongs and drums, one after another, deafening.

"Your Excellency, please command ......," Lin Xun and Panta bowed and said.

"The two adults each led soldiers along the sides of the street to prevent the crowd from rushing onto the street and causing chaos, and also, pay attention to those with suspicious appearances, worrying that the adults will be stabbed, quickly, quickly, ......" Wang Fen shouted, "Those who rush onto the street will be killed!" ”

This is the second time Li Hong has felt the taste of being loved by the people, and the ups and downs make him have mixed feelings. What do these good people pray? It is nothing more than peace and food and clothing, but it is such a small wish, and now it has become an unattainable luxury for the people. This is the declining conscription of the Great Han Kingdom.

Li Hong asked himself, he has not done any good things for these people, he feels that he is not qualified to enjoy this kind of glory, he is ashamed, he has neither brought them permanent peace, nor solved their perennial food and clothing, he suddenly felt that he had to do something for them in the thunderous shouts of the people, at least to keep these simple and kind people away from war and hunger.

The crowd suddenly rioted, and there were people on both sides of the street running desperately in the crowd, shouting fiercely and fearfully. The guards of the government who had opened the way in front dismounted, shouted loudly, and rushed into the bustling crowd, chasing and arresting those who looked suspicious.

Zhao Yun and the others, who were closely following Li Hong, immediately rode forward and surrounded Li Hong, and Li Wei was also wrapped in the middle of the cavalry warriors, and the speed of the team's march suddenly accelerated.

Just when people's eyes were attracted by the noisy crowds on both sides of the street, a person effortlessly broke through the guards on the left side of the street, and rushed towards Li Hong amid everyone's exclamations.

Li Hong was surprised in his heart, and hurriedly grabbed the black panther, and at the same time reached into his arms with his right hand and grabbed the little black axe, ready to strike a sharp blow at any time.

Zhao Yun Jiang Wu shouted, and rushed to Li Hong left and right. Pound kicked the horse's belly, and the horse suddenly accelerated, flying like lightning towards the comer.

The man, who was running down the street, came to a sudden stop. This person is in his thirties, of medium height, with a white face and a short beard, elegant and delicate. He stood proudly in the middle of the street, his expression calm, and there was not the slightest panic on his face. He looked at Li Hong and shouted: "In Xia Song Wen, there is a grievance!" ”

Lin Xun and Panta noticed that a person suddenly appeared in the middle of the road almost at the same time, and the two of them were so surprised that they shot an arrow without thinking about raising their hands. "Woo ......" two long arrows roared away from the left and right directions.

Li Hong shouted without hesitation: "Ling Ming, protect him!" ”

Wang Fen, who was following behind, saw the person clearly, and immediately looked horrified, and raised his hand without thinking and shouted: "Kill him...... Kill him ......"

When Lin Xun and Panta heard Wang Fen's shout, they immediately drew their knives in their hands and Pegasus killed.

The long arrow is coming in an instant.

Pang De saw that he couldn't be rescued, so he had to throw the knife in his hand in the air, and at the same time yelled at Song Wen: "Get out of the ......"

As if he hadn't heard, Song Wen turned a deaf ear to the long arrows shot from both sides, he lowered his head and slowly took out a roll of bamboo slips from his arms.

Two long arrows hit left and right.

The sword flew in, and the long arrow on the left shot exactly at the body of the bright sword, making a sound of "dang ......". Arrows fall, knives fall.

Pang De watched as another long arrow was about to shoot into Song Wen's body, desperate and helpless.

At this moment, a black light passed through the air.

With a "boom ......" sound, the sharp long arrow suddenly changed its flight direction and shot straight into the ground in front of Song Wen's feet, leaving only a white arrow feather shaking violently in the wind. Then Pound saw a spinning little black axe suddenly catapult in the air, and then drew a beautiful arc in the air, slashing into the ground behind Song Wen, and sinking into the handle.

Li Hong made a move at the most critical time.

Song Wen was not afraid, he held the book high above the top with both hands, and shouted: "My lord, I have grievances." ”

Pound flew in. Lin Xun and Panta raised their knives to kill. The swords of the three intersected, making a sound like a continuous sound of gold and iron.

Zhao Yun came on horseback, and the spear stabbed horizontally, like a dragon leaping into the sky, straight into Lin Xun's chest. Lin Xun was horrified, he roared wildly, and chopped it off with all the strength of his body. "When ......". Lin Xun snorted miserably, the tiger's mouth burst, the war knife bounced, and he was almost about to fly out of his hand, but Zhao Yun's spear was not affected at all, and it still came through his chest. At the moment when the spear pierced into the leather armor, it suddenly stopped, as if the spear itself had stopped there, and did not move. Lin Xun let out a cold sweat, his face was as white as earth, and he didn't dare to move.

"Your Excellency has an order, you must not kill innocents in vain!" Zhao Yun said coldly, "Stand down!" ”

Panta looked down at the war knife that had cracked a few gaps in his hand, and then looked at the frightened Lin Xun, a flash of fear flashed on his face. He quietly pulled Lin Xun, and the two quickly turned their horses away.

When the crowd of spectators around saw this thrilling scene, they suddenly burst into a shocking cheer.

Wang Fen was dumbfounded and speechless for a long time, he saw Li Hong and his party riding a horse approaching Song Wen, and the murderous aura in his eyes suddenly flourished.

Li Hong looked at Song Wen, shook his head and smiled: "You are so bold, you dare to do this kind of thing, aren't you afraid of the corpse street?" ”

Song Wen smiled faintly and said, "As long as the adults see this scroll, why don't I die?" ”

"What's your grievance?"

"King Fen, the assassin of Jizhou, framed my teacher for fornicating with the Yellow Turban thief for no reason, and not only imprisoned my teacher, but also confiscated all the property of my teacher's family. On the 21st of this month, the Son of Heaven issued an amnesty to the world, but Lord Wang ignored the amnesty decree and refused to release him, resulting in my teacher's unjust death in prison, and his bones are still alive. Song Wen said loudly, "This book contains evidence that Lord Jizhou Assassin Shi Wang framed the 27 wealthy people in Jizhou and confiscated the property of the 27 wealthy people with a total of 600 million yuan. Please check carefully, punish the traitors, and restore the innocence of my teacher and all those who have been wronged. ”

Li Hong was overjoyed.

He was worried that he couldn't find evidence that Wang Fen had violated the law. If he has evidence of Wang Fen's violation, he can make Wang Fen feel in crisis and feel cornered, and then he will use the matter of military funds to drive Wang Fen to a dead end, forcing Wang Fen to do something like a dog jumping over the wall, so that he can capture him in one fell swoop, thus destroying his plot to rob and kill the Son of Heaven.

The affairs of Jizhou are different from Xiliang's corruption, if they are not handled well, the matter is out of control, and the major event of His Majesty's return to his hometown to worship his ancestors is delayed, then he will not only offend His Majesty and the Queen Mother, but also be taken advantage of by the traitors in the court to fall into the ground.

What made Li Hong even more restless was that if Cao Cao's words were true, and he couldn't sabotage Wang Fen's conspiracy before His Majesty arrived in Jizhou, then he would really be to blame. Once Wang Fen's conspiracy succeeds, not only will the lives of His Majesty and the Queen Mother be in danger, but the Great Han Kingdom will also fall into chaos and war, and the serious consequences arising from this will not be even more unimaginable to Li Hong.

Zhao Yun leaned over and took the scroll from Song Wen's hand and handed it to Li Wei, who hurriedly squeezed forward. Li Wei glanced at ten lines and quickly swept them.

"My lord, we can go back to camp." Li Weixi smiled and whispered, "For the banquet, let Master Yuan take his place, he likes to eat, drink, play and have fun the most." ”

Li Hong comprehended.

"Zifeng, Ling Ming, protect Mr. Song, let's go back to the camp."

Wang Fen stepped forward, apologized repeatedly, and said with a smile: "My lord is frightened, frightened, there is the government in front, we will ......be there soon" Then he pointed his finger at Song Wen, who was glaring angrily, and said angrily, "This person is a madman, he was stimulated after his teacher died some time ago, so he has been crazy, my lord must not believe his nonsense." ”

"Someone ...... come," he waved his hand and shouted to the attendants behind him, "Arrest him and put him in prison." ”

"Slow ......down," Li Hong smiled coldly, raised his hand and said, "I'll take this person back and ask first." ”

"My lord, you are inspecting Jizhou for the important event of His Majesty's return to his hometown to worship his ancestors, and the itinerary is in a hurry, how can you have time to ask about such a trivial matter?" Wang Fen said with a smile: "The lower officials didn't govern Jizhou well, so the adults saw the jokes." Of course, this kind of trivial matter will be handled by the Jizhou government, so I think it's better to lock him up first. Wang Fen deliberately accentuated the three words "Jizhou Mansion", which meant to remind Li Hong that you should not meddle in your affairs.

Li Hong lowered his face and asked: "Is there such a thing that this righteous man accused you of framing twenty-seven wealthy families in Jizhou, not only detaining people and raiding their homes, but also ignoring the amnesty decree of the Son of Heaven and refusing to release them?" ”

Wang Fen shook his head and said helplessly: "My lord, this person is a madman, how can you believe what he said?" I'm a member of the court, you don't believe what I say, but you believe the nonsense of a madman, I don't understand what my lord means? Do adults have prejudices against me? ”

Li Hong glanced at him, and suddenly smiled: "My lord is too careful." This madman said that you raided your house and stolen 600 million yuan of property, and I am very interested in this matter, you know, I have always hated corrupt officials, and I will not show mercy. ”

Wang Fen looked innocent and smiled bitterly.

"My lord, is there such a thing?" Li Hong asked.

Wang Fen raised his hand calmly and said, "My lord, the lower officials can swear that there is no such thing as being framed." These 27 wealthy households have no king's law, fornicate with ant thieves, plot misdeeds, and the evidence is conclusive. Adults can send someone to inquire and verify, and the subordinate will do his best to assist in order to find out the innocence. ”

"This trip to Jizhou is in a hurry, and this inspection will be waived, and I don't have time to delay here." Li Hong waved his hand and said, "I think so, I'll take this person back to ask about the situation, if he is not crazy, what he said is true." Li Hong's face suddenly turned cold, and he said coldly, "If the adults are corrupt and pervert the law, fornicate with ant thieves, and plot against them, you will wait for death." ”

Wang Fen did not show weakness, looked at Li Hong coldly, and looked very angry.

"Let's go ......" Li Hong yelled and took the lead in beating the horse away.

＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝

Song Wen is a long wind, and he is a native of Jiangzhou, Yizhou. Li Hong was surprised when he heard that he was from Jiangzhou, Yizhou, and he said to Li Wei with a smile: "Tang Yun is from Jiangzhou, and Lin Xun in this camp is also from Jiangzhou. Li Wei smiled: "Yizhou is the land of abundance, of course, it is outstanding." ”

When Song Wen was young, his father went to Bohai County, Jizhou to serve as a small official, and the family moved to Bohai County to live. His teacher, Jiang Yi, was once the Taishou of Bohai County, so Song Wen served in the county government for many years. A few years ago, Jiang Yi wrote a letter to advise the Son of Heaven to eradicate the eunuchs, but he was falsely accused of being imprisoned by the eunuchs, and was later amnesty before he was able to avoid sins and go home. This time, Jiang Yi was framed and imprisoned by Wang Fen again, because of old age and frailty, he couldn't stand the toss, and he died in prison.

"If it weren't for the rich family wealth, Mr. Jiang would not have died unjustly in prison." Li Wei covered his roll and sighed, "It's all money that causes trouble." ”

Song Wen was speechless.

"Did Wang Fen act recklessly and bend the law for bribes when he took office?" Li Hong asked.

"Not really." Song Wen shook his head and said, "Lord Wang used to have a good reputation no matter how he was a person or an official. He suddenly went against the grain and did such things that were the outrage of the gods and gods, that is, in the last two months. ”

Li Hong realized.

He looked at Song Wen and said, "Brother Changfeng, you have offended Wang Fen, it is difficult to save your life when you go out now, in my opinion, you can stay with me for the time being." ”

Song Wen said with a lonely expression: "My wish has been fulfilled, it doesn't matter if I live or die." ”

Li Hong patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Brother Changfeng was still arrogant just now, why did he become so discouraged in the blink of an eye?" In a few days, see how I avenge you. ”

＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝

After Li Wei sent Song Wen away, he immediately returned to the big tent.

"My lord, in this way, what Cao Cao said is true." Li Wei said, "Two months ago, didn't Your Majesty suddenly decide to go back to his hometown in Hejian Country in Jizhou to worship his ancestors? Wang Fen must have received His Majesty's holy decree before he had the idea of kidnapping the Son of Heaven and eradicating the traitorous eunuchs. To accomplish such a big thing, the most important thing is the army and money. At present, Wang Fen has been successfully solved with the help of the Yellow Turban Ant Thief, and all that remains is money. He seems to have no good way to accumulate money but through extortion and extortion. As a result, something went wrong. ”

"This matter, if it is used to impeach him, first, it will take time, and second, it will require a lot of evidence, and it will be troublesome." Li Hong smiled, "But it's more than enough to use this matter to scare and scare him." ”

"Scare?" Li Wei asked rhetorically, "What's the use of scarering, of course you have to blackmail him." All he lacks is money, and we have to use that to blackmail him. If he pushes him into a hurry, he will naturally find a way to deal with us, and as soon as he makes a move, he will die. ”

"Zhong Yuan, look at him like that, he is cunning and cunning, it's not easy to force him to jump off the wall."

Li Wei nodded solemnly, did not make a sound, and after a while, he said: "I think Wang Fen is either a madman or someone else to rely on. ”

"How?" Li Hong asked.

Li Wei said: "You see, Wang Fen only has more than 20,000 people in his hands, but he is so whimsical that he wants to hijack the Son of Heaven with such a few people, is it possible?" You and I think it's impossible, and he certainly wouldn't be so stupid. I think it is false that he hijacked the Son of Heaven, and it is true that he is causing trouble in the world. ”

"Whether Wang Fen kidnapped the Son of Heaven or killed the Son of Heaven, or set up another Son of Heaven, what did he bring to the Great Han Kingdom? It is a great chaos, and it is better than the chaos of the Yellow Turban Rebellion. ”

"As soon as the Son of Heaven has an accident, the general of Luoyang will immediately support the Great Prince as the new emperor. Now, the generals and the bureaucrats of the clan are eyeing the eunuchs and will devour them at any time, do you think the generals will miss this opportunity? ”

"Now I understand why Cao Cao told us this news, he was trying to save his family's life. As long as we kill Wang Fen in Jizhou and break their treacherous schemes, the Son of Heaven will be safe and sound, the Son of Heaven will be fine, the traitors can survive, and the Cao family will naturally live more comfortably. ”

"Zhong Yuan, do you mean to say that Wang Fen's reliance is the general?" Li Hong looked around and asked in a cautious low voice.

Li Wei looked at Li Hong in surprise and said with a smile: "I didn't say it." ”

Li Hong glared at him and said, "If this is the general's trick and the prince ascends the throne smoothly, how can the world be in chaos?" You don't think the Yellow Turbans still have this strength, do you? ”

"How could it not be?" Li Wei asked rhetorically, "Last year, the imperial court not only did not exempt Jizhou from taxes, but also increased Jizhou's taxes because of the Xiliang War, resulting in more people being forced to abandon their homes and go to Taihang Mountain, do you know this?" ”

Li Hong shook his head.

"Wang Fen and a group of Jizhou bureaucrats reported good news but not bad news for their own selfish interests, harming others. In the past few days, I have heard people in various counties and townships privately say that there are at least one million people gathered in Taihang Mountain. Li Wei whispered, "In the territory of Montenegro in Hanoi County alone, I heard that there are two or three hundred thousand people. ”

Li Hong sighed and said, "In this way, if Wang Fen's treacherous plan succeeds, the world will definitely be chaotic." ”

"Yes." Li Wei said, "No matter whether Wang Fen's trick succeeds or not, the world must be chaotic." You see, now on the border of thousands of miles in northern Xinjiang, the Xianbei people have amassed more than 100,000 troops, what do they want to do? The Karasuma people in Youzhou and the Huns in Bingzhou are ready to move one by one, who of them doesn't want to take a few bites while the Han Kingdom is dying? ”

"What does He Jin, the pig killer, know? What do the selfish bureaucrats in the DPRK and China understand? Which one of them is working hard for this piece of land in my Great Han Kingdom? ”

Li Hong looked at the impassioned Li Wei and said with a smile: "Zhong Yuan, you are excited again, if you keep talking, won't you persuade me to rebel again?" ”

"My lord laughed." Li Wei blushed and coughed twice, trying his best to hide the embarrassment in his heart. He actually had this intention in his heart, but he didn't want to be told by Li Hong.

Li Hong laughed, shook his head and said, "Zhong Yuan, don't mention this in the future." Your idea is nothing more than to let the people of the world live a good life, but I don't have this ability, just look at the Yellow Turban Army, this thing that changes the world is not something that people like you and me can do with tens of thousands of troops. You're thinking too simply. ”

"Okay, let's talk about what's in front of us." Li Hong patted Li Wei's shoulder affectionately and smiled, "At the beginning, I was fortunate not to listen to you and killed you, otherwise today's matter would be troublesome." This kind of thing is not like a war, there are many things involved, and I don't understand it very well, and if you don't give me ideas by my side, I'm afraid I'm going to suffer this time. ”

"Adults are brilliant and intelligent, how can such a trivial matter be difficult for you?" Li Wei said with a smile.

"You don't say anything flattering." Li Hong said, "We don't care about the future, and we don't care what Wang Fen relies on, what we have to do now is to force Wang Fen into chaos, what are you going to do next?" ”

"When my lord was patrolling the camp today, he told me that the military funds had been brought to the camp, and I saw that the officers and soldiers were looking forward to it and wanted to get their salaries as soon as possible." Li Wei said, "Next, the adults will stay in the Yecheng camp for a few days. Wang Fen saw that the adults were delayed in leaving, and the military funds were not given to him, so he would definitely be in a hurry. If he comes to ask for money, we will force him to send food and clothing, otherwise we will withhold the military funds and dispose of them for ourselves. With enough food and clothing, the soldiers will be fed and clothed, and they will be grateful to the adults, and at this time, the adults can consider handing over the military funds to Wang Fen. ”
