Chapter 169: I see

(Thank you for the reward from my beloved sheep and the master of the Dragon Emperor Hall, thank you.) )

Fang Ming was tied up by Wuhua and escorted to Su Tiancheng.

At this moment, what Su Tiancheng was most concerned about was not Fang Ming telling the truth, but the noble person who appeared in front of him was actually Zhu Xianxin, which he never imagined.

The two thousand rogues brought by Fang Ming were wiped out, more than 1,100 people were killed, and more than 800 people were captured.

On Su Tiancheng's side, the losses were just as heavy.

Of the 110 people led by Liu Tiehan, only 25 were alive, all of them were injured, and the remaining 85 fell forever in the valley. Of the 1,120 men in the cavalry battalion, 407 were killed, 32 were seriously wounded, and countless were lightly wounded.

It was a fight that was too tragic.

If it weren't for the two hundred and twenty-four guards of the palace brought by Zhu Xianxin and waiting at the mouth of the valley, Fang Ming would have escaped, and the loss of the rogues would not have been so great.

Su Tiancheng finally felt that fighting is cruel, and the advantage of troops is very important.

Zhu Xianxin stared at Su Tiancheng with a pair of big eyes, completely ignoring the existence of other people.

Although she has been demoted to the county lord, she is not depressed at all, she also knows that the emperor personally said goodbye to herself, and the object is Su Tiancheng, after learning the news, Zhu Xianxin couldn't sit still.

She and Zhu Xianxuan are brother and sister, seeing that her sister has suffered so much, Zhu Xianxuan couldn't bear it, turned a blind eye, and asked her sister to find Su Tiancheng, but when Su Tiancheng was in Henan for disaster relief. It must not work, just ten days before the end of the disaster relief, Zhu Xianxin set off from Taiyuan Mansion with two hundred and twenty-four sergeants of the Royal Mansion Guard Division.

This comes at a huge risk.

In the middle of the road, there were still bumps in the road, Zhu Xianxin thought. Su Tiancheng will go to the capital, then leave the capital, return to Jiangning County, follow Su Tiancheng by himself, and go directly to Jiangning County, the emperor has helped to talk about the matchmaker, what's the big deal, not to mention that Zhu Xianxin has never suffered grievances since he was a child. Decisions are made without regard to the consequences.

Unexpectedly, Su Tiancheng went back to Nanzhili directly.

Therefore, Zhu Xianxin, who was originally going to wait in Kaifeng Mansion, changed her mind and went directly to Guide Mansion.

Fortunately, Su Tiancheng recovered Liu Tiehan and delayed time on the road.

Zhu Xianxin is a girl after all, and she is still with her personal maid Chunping, so it is impossible to walk fast. If it weren't for the nourishment of love, it is estimated that this golden branch and jade leaf. I can't stand it anymore.

After arriving in Shuicheng, I was going to rest here, but the guards who heard the news in front had already found the sergeant of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, and Zhu Xianxin was excited and didn't rest. I can't wait to see Su Tiancheng right away.

She also couldn't imagine that she would see Su Tiancheng under such circumstances.

The combat effectiveness of the sergeant of the Royal Guard Division is by no means ordinary, not to mention the rogue. Even if you fight face-to-face with the Houjin cavalry, it is not weak.

Seeing that Su Tiancheng was unharmed, Zhu Xianxin breathed a sigh of relief, this is his future Langjun, he must not have a problem, otherwise he will not want to live.

"County, county lord, you go to rest first, the lower officials still have things to do."

"Hmph, I've come all the way to you, what are you resting, you do things, I'll watch."

Su Tiancheng blushed a little, this county lord, the current county lord, is too disregarding the occasion, after all, there are officers from the Xiao Cavalry Battalion around him, including Liu Tiehan and Deng Hui.

Everyone is still very interesting, and they have already gone far away, leaving Su Tiancheng and Zhu Xianxin, Su Tiancheng's side, standing Wang Dazhi, Zhu Xianxin's side, standing Chunping, and two palace guards Baihu.

Fang Ming was still kneeling in front.

Su Tiancheng nodded, and stopped talking to Zhu Xianxin, at this time, he wanted to interrogate Fang Ming and figure out a lot of things.

He motioned for Wang Dazhi to loosen Fang Ming's rope.

Fang Ming's face was already dead gray, he came with full confidence, but it was such an ending, which he couldn't accept, but the fact was that it was like this, he could only admit defeat.

"Fang Ming, it's time for you to fulfill your previous promise."

Fang Ming nodded indifferently and opened his mouth mechanically.

"To be able to know all your whereabouts, I have indeed thought of a lot of ways, all my news was obtained from Mengjin County, and the magistrate of Mengjin County helped me. I don't look down on the magistrate of Mengjin County, although I gave him money, your disaster relief in Henan, I see it in my eyes, remember it in my heart, I used to hesitate, I have never seen an official who does this, for what to kill, I thought, is it worth it. ”

"I could have sneak attacked, but in the face of bright and upright people, I don't want to sneak around, I want to fight against you, not getting muddy is my eldest brother, I also thought of it, if the officials of the court are all in your style, why worry about rebellion, who doesn't want to live a peaceful life."

"The magistrate of Mengjin County once told me not to do anything in Henan, it must be after you leave Henan, otherwise the court will hold them responsible, which makes me more hesitant, and I hate some officials even more, and the officials who do things for Lu will be excluded, my brother, I have followed you all the way, and found that you have not harassed the people these days, and when you rest every night, you are camped and camped, so as not to increase the burden of the people."

"The scene outside Mengjin City gave me a great shock, I don't know what to say, I even doubt that my actions are worthwhile, but my eldest brother treats me like a mountain, I must seek revenge from you."

"Master Su, I've said everything I need to say, I don't know what questions you have."

After saying this, Fang Ming finally came back to life.

"Fang Ming, I said earlier, you are righteous and angry, revenge for the eldest brother, this matter itself, there is no problem, but it's a pity that you think about the problem, too narrow-minded, yes, you rebelled at the beginning, because you had no food to eat, you wanted to live, and no one had the right to blame you, but unfortunately, every rebellion will not end well in the end, from the pre-Qin to the present, do you know what the Dao is for."

Fang Ming's eyes were a little confused, he couldn't think of this question clearly.

"I'll tell you the reason, it's because of the problem of faith, whether it's your eldest brother, or the so-called King Gao Yingxiang, the general Li Zicheng, including Zhang Xianzhong, Luo Rucai and others, the original intention of their rebellion was to think that the peasants had food to eat and land to cultivate, but after a period of time, the team grew stronger, did they still adhere to the original goal, did they still focus on the people, what do they themselves enjoy, they can't be strict with themselves, they can't reach that realm, but they are calling in their mouths that everyone is equal, Isn't that the greatest irony. ”

"In recent years, the north has suffered a lot of disasters, the peasants have no food to eat, they can't survive, the government has not been able to provide disaster relief in time, such a problem does exist, the emperor is also aware, very anxious, but the court does not have so much silver relief, what is even more distressing is that some officials, regardless of the life and death of the people, corruption and bribery, further oppress the people, so that the people have no way to live."

"I know all these situations, so I don't need you to say more."

"You are open-minded, righteous, and I face to face, I think, you are still good, if there is a chance, I would like to protect you, but this time, I can't do anything, I might as well tell you, Liu Tiehan, who is at the front, was still a bandit in Henan a few days ago, and Deng Hui was also in Du Laosan's team, but they came to my side, I trusted them, and soon after, they will become the pillars of the court."

Su Tiancheng's tone was a little soft, and after saying this, Fang Ming lowered his head and thought for a while.

Soon, he knelt in front of Su Tiancheng.

"Master Su, the grass people are guilty of a capital crime, and they don't expect to be able to live, the grass people just hope that the adults can do more things for the farmers, the farmers are too bitter, and there are still some things on the grass people's bodies, which are what the adults need."

Zhu Xianxin stood next to her, listening in a daze, she didn't know why Su Tiancheng and Fang Ming would say these words, but the magistrate of Mengjin County, plotting against Su Tiancheng, she still heard it clearly, her little face was flushed, and she couldn't wait to go to Mengjin County immediately and find out the magistrate.

gave Su Tiancheng evidence, and Fang was obviously a lot more open-minded.

"My lord, the grass people have one more thing to remind, when the adults were in Mengjin County, they angrily beheaded the nephew of the county, the grass people were very admired, but the grass people didn't understand, the adults couldn't investigate in depth, and found out the county behind it, now I think about it, some understand, if the adults are entangled in such things, it will be difficult to make the big things behind, but if the adults don't find out the county, the county will think about murdering the adults, if the adults are in the same stream with the officials of Mengjin County, the grass people do not have such a chance, The grass people also figured it out, this move went against the will of heaven, and the grass people were destined not to succeed. ”

Su Tiancheng looked at Fang Ming and did not speak.

Wang Dazhi, who was beside him, understood the young master's thoughts, and handed the steel knife in his hand to Fang Ming.

"My lord, the grass people have gone, I hope the adults will be the masters of the people......"

Su Tiancheng turned his head, unable to bear to look at it.

The officers of the cavalry battalion around him, including the sergeants of the Royal Guards Division, heard these conversations, but everyone did not speak.

The evidence handed over by Fang Ming was directly pointed at the magistrate of Mengjin County.

With these letters, Su Tiancheng sobered up again, what he thought at the beginning was that between the bureaucrats, if they can be tolerated, they should be tolerant, the focus is still on doing a good job in disaster relief, I didn't expect to cause such a big thing, although there is a coincidence in it, but the magistrate of Mengjin County, if he has the opportunity to be promoted, wouldn't he have to find a way to kill himself.

Because of a period of kindness, nearly five hundred brothers went like this, and they were buried in the Eagle's Beak Valley in the place where they had just entered Nanzhili, which was too much of a tragic lesson. (To be continued.) )
