Chapter 21: Li Xin's Collaboration with the Enemy
The letter was written by Dolgon to Sun Chengzong, but it told an unbelievable story. Dolgon reported that he had lost a slave outside the gate, and this slave was his skilled craftsman, which made him sad for a long time. It wasn't until he went south to hunt this time that he learned that his fugitive slave had actually taught in Gaoyang. Therefore, the request put forward was also very simple, as long as Sun Chengzong could return the fugitive slaves to him, he Dolgon could guarantee that he would not attack Gaoyang City again.
Lu Zhifan smiled bitterly after seeing it, what is going on? Humiliate? Joke? A handful crumpled the letter into a ball and threw it under the walls of the black hole.
Just as Lu Zhifan crumpled Dolgon's letter into a paper ball and threw it under the wall, Li Xin was lying on the bed in the middle of the room, looking idly at the simple roof. As the direct commander and participant of all previous battles, he was completely isolated. At this moment, even if Li Xin was slow to react, he understood what was happening, and he had been listed as persona non grata by the heads of Gao Yang City.
Zhang Shi pushed the door in, and at this time he had become a general in the Gaoyang Army.
"Teach and learn, I can't figure it out, why doesn't the classic history let you command us?"
Li Xin's expression was extremely calm, without the anger and anxiety after being excluded.
"Teach you to say something, Master Dianshi is too unfair, the Zheng Shen general who defeated the battle is riding on the head of our brother!"
"Shi Hugh is talking nonsense, General Zheng was defeated in the battle for the imperial court, he is a hero of the Ming Dynasty, and he must not be humiliated!"
Zhang Shi replied disappreciatively: "Then Jiao Xi is still our hero of Gaoyang, how can you treat it like this?" No, I have to find someone to comment, and if the history of the canon doesn't give justice to the host, I'll go to Sun Ge Lao! ”
"Don't mess around with the stone, I believe that the canonical history will distinguish between black and white, and there may be some misunderstanding in the middle. For today's plan, I want to work hard to guard this Gaoyang, and it is nothing for me to be temporarily wronged. ”
Li Xinhao persuaded Zhang Shi to leave, since he was not allowed to participate in the command, it should be possible to understand the military situation. So he went out of the door, and went to the south gate alone, the entire Gaoyang city defense, the south city wall is the only direction that has not been renovated, and it is also the place where he is most uneasy. But when he went up the main street, and when he was still a hundred steps away from Nancheng, he heard a shout, and a group of people rushed out to surround him.
"Who?"
"The walls are heavy, and you can't trespass!"
It turned out to be a soldier patrolling the night, looking at the face, the other party didn't recognize his meaning, Li Xin explained by himself, it may be that there are too many people recruited recently, and he hasn't seen a few times in total, so it's not surprising that he can't recognize it.
"I'm teaching Li Xin, and I'm going to go to Nancheng to investigate!"
The little colonel who was the leader didn't hear him report that his family was fine, and as soon as he heard that it was Li Xin, his face immediately became extremely ugly.
"It turns out that you are the spy, why, do you want to take advantage of the chaos to go out of the city to deliver a letter to the slave chief? Come on, tie it up for me, and hand it over to the county magistrate! ”
Li Xin saw that these people didn't seem to be joking, and struggled with all his might: "Did the brothers misunderstand? How can I deliver a letter for the Tartars? ”
The little colonel sneered: "There has been an order in the history of the classics for a long time, you don't have to participate in defending the city this time, and now you ignore the military order and break into the military camp strongholds, what is your intention?" Stop talking nonsense, come with me! ”
Li Xin has never been a person who is obedient, how can he be called by a foreign colonel, and when he is unprepared, he took out the Yanling knife at the waist of the junior colonel and crossed his neck, and shouted: "Be honest with the fuck, who is in the wilderness Be careful that the knife in Lao Tzu's hand is not long-sighted!" Fuck off! ”
When a few soldiers saw that the leader was kidnapped, for a while you looked at me, and I didn't know what to do. Li Xin's wrist strengthened, and the sharp blade cut into the neck of the little colonel, and the blood suddenly flowed out, which was particularly oozing under the reflection of the torch.
"Don't fuck off?"
When the soldiers saw the blood, they no longer hesitated to spread their legs and ran away without a trace. Li Xin was really angry, he finally recognized that this junior colonel and those soldiers were the guards brought back by the county commander Lei Juemin this time, showing off his might on weekdays, doing some stealing and touching dogs, he turned a blind eye and pretended not to see it, and now he actually rode on his head Li Xin and, how could he bear it?
The little colonel saw that his subordinates had fled, and his arrogance suddenly became a lot smaller, but he still said to himself: "You can't escape, hurry up and let go of grandpa!" ”
Li Xin sneered a few times, let go of Yan Ling's knife and kicked his right foot hard on the little school's buttocks, only to see his whole person fly forward, and then a dog gnawed shit and lay on the bluestone road, followed by a miserable howl.
"Let you go today, don't open your eyes in the future, don't blame me Li Xin's subordinates for being ruthless!"
After that, Li Xin threw the Yanling knife in front of the little school, plunged it straight into the ground, and then flicked the dust on his body, threw off the blood-stained little school and went straight to the south gate. Li Xin had just arrived at the foot of the South Gate and was about to ascend the city, but he listened to the sound of running in a queue from far and near, and the rhythm was not slow.
Sure enough, a column of Gaoyang soldiers holding Yanling knives in their right hands and torches in their left hands appeared in front of Li Li Xin in a short time, and it was Zhou Jin, the teacher of Gaoyang County, who led the team.
"Li Xin, do you really want to rebel?"
Zhou Jin spoke sharply, Li Xin finally kicked down the scene of the small colonel happened to fall into his eyes, originally during the day he advocated that wartime should be done extraordinarily, regardless of innocence or not, first control this person just in case, wait for the Tartars to retreat and then conduct a thorough investigation, there is no problem naturally everyone is happy, if there is a problem, when the new account and the old account are counted together, an execution after the autumn is considered cheap, and a thousand cuts are inevitable.
The torches lit up the horse road under the south gate, Li Xin had never seen Zhou Jin so angry, when he had any misunderstanding.
"Lord Zhou's words are serious, a few soldiers show off their might, Li Xin just teach them a lesson!"
Zhou Jin was unwilling to listen to his explanation, and shouted to the left and right: "Tie up!" Bring it back to the Seongsai County Library! ”
How many of the soldiers of the Gaoyang Army didn't know Li Xin, who was a teacher? This oracle who usually plays with a pen now makes them arrest Li Jiaoxi, and many people can't turn this corner in their minds, and their movements have become sluggish. Zhou Jin saw that the soldiers did not move, and said in his heart: This Li Xin has some prestige in the army, but it is a pity that he was born as a horse thief, and the thief has always been uncertain, seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages. He shouted loudly: "What? Will you rebel with him? ”
This hat is too buttoned, who can bear the charge of rebellion, several Gaoyang army soldiers rushed at Li Xindao.
"The little ones have an order, and they are offended!"
Then he swarmed around Li Xin and tied him with a thumb-thick hemp rope. Li Xin's confidence was cold, in his previous cognition, although this Zhou Jin restrained him everywhere, it was out of the public heart of the imperial court, and he naturally did not have the same knowledge as him. But today, Zhou Jin's behavior is really abnormal, as if he has to die and then hurry. Thinking of Lu Zhifan's attitude, he faintly felt that there must be some misunderstanding that he didn't know.
Thinking of this layer, Li Xin no longer struggled, Zhou Jin tied himself to the county treasury camp, he must be going to see Lu Zhifan, presumably this master of the history of the canon will definitely uphold the public heart to preside over a justice for himself, take 10,000 steps back and say, even if the history of the Lu Dianshi is also misunderstood, isn't there still Sun Chengzong!
But the situation does not seem to be developing in the direction that Li Xin expected, or he completely underestimated the severity of the situation.
The news of Li Xin's arrest by the Sect spread out somehow, and a group of old battalion people led by Zhang Shi were naturally not angry that Zhou Jin had arrested their teachings, and the kind of trust established by the common experience of bloody battles could not be broken by a few words from others, and hundreds of people surrounded Zhou Jin and asked him to give an explanation.
"There must be evidence to arrest people, and if there is no evidence, it will be chilling to arrest us and teach us!"
"Yes, if you don't give us an explanation today, this Lao Shizi will quit the boss!"
It was Zhang Shi who spoke, and he took the lead, and everyone said that Zhou Jin would either show evidence of Li Xin's collaboration with the enemy, or release him immediately. Zhou Jin was angry, which mouth was looser than the belt of the old ladies' trousers, and everyone knew about the things that should have been known to a few of them, he only felt that he couldn't make sense with this group of ruffians, but he was surrounded in the center and couldn't get out, and he was sweating profusely for a while.
Li Xin will not speak for him anymore, he also hopes that Zhou Jin will either show his own incriminating evidence, or quickly release himself, now the Tartar soldiers outside the city are pressing, but Gaoyang City is fighting in the nest, what is this, no wonder in history Nanming has gained an advantage over the Qing army in the north several times, and finally ended in a fiasco, not because of internal fighting.
Seeing that the situation is becoming more and more chaotic, there is a tendency to be out of control, and the Dian Shi Lu Domain is here, and in the end, it is the classic history of the affairs of the county, and everyone has gradually calmed down under the prestige. Lu Zhifan glanced at Zhou Jin complainingly, this Zhou Jin is too small to know the general situation, didn't he expect that his actions would almost cause a mutiny? Now that the enemy outside the city is pressing, he still only thinks about what he would rather indulge in, it is really pedantic!
Lu Zhifan waved his hand four times around the scene, "Everyone, now that the enemy is pressing the border, Lu Mou please return to his post immediately if he has responsibilities, Lu Mou will definitely give Li Jiaoxi and give you a reasonable explanation!" ”
"Master Dianshi's words are wrong, how complicated is it to explain it? If you have evidence of Li Jiaoxi's collaboration with the enemy, take it out now, and if not, release them immediately, and let Jiaoxi take us to fight the Tartars! The brothers said yes? ”
The soldiers made a promise!
Lu Zhifan recognized that the person who picked the head was called Zhang Shishi, who was one of the best thorns in the Gaoyang Army, and this person gave him an ugly look when Li Xin was a teacher, how could he support him so much now? This Li Xin is really a rare general, but it's a pity...... Lu Zhifan felt that he was roasted on the fire, he didn't believe that Li Xin was communicating with the enemy, but in the face of doubts, he could only choose to be cautious, after all, Li Xin's conversion from a horse thief to a Gaoyang military teacher was only a month, and his loyalty had not been effectively tested. Therefore, he wanted to wait until the investigation was clear before returning Li Xin's innocence, who knew that Zhou Jin was so frivolous......
If the current situation is not handled well, a mutiny will break out at any time.
"The evidence of Li Xin's collaborator is here!"
Out of nowhere, a sentence came out of nowhere that stunned everyone!
