Chapter 790: Soul Under the Sword
Xu Shu frowned and said: "This Qingzhou flood is unprecedented, the number of people affected is nearly one million, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to deal with it with local strength alone!" This matter is very important, and it must not be left to chance, and it must be made clear to Your Majesty immediately, and ask Your Majesty to allocate another sum of money and food! As for the lost money and food, take your time! ”
"What the envoy said is very true!" Zhong Xuan arched his hand.
"By the way, what about the county lieutenant of Qingzhou?" Xu Shu asked.
The Qingzhou county lieutenant's name is Li Han, who was originally an officer in the Wei army, but was disabled during the battle of Jizhou, and then left the army and became a petty official in the local area.
Zhong Xuan replied: "Lieutenant Li is leading a group of state officials to inspect the disaster and appease the people below!" ”
Xu Shu nodded and said appreciatively: "At the time of the catastrophe, the most important thing is to appease the people!" Although Lieutenant Li was born in the military, he is familiar with government affairs and is a rare talent! ”
Xu Shu asked with a tight face: "Zhong Junshou, is there any news of the bandits who robbed the money and grain?" ”
Zhong Xuan's face became a little unnatural, and he replied: "I haven't found any clues yet!" ”
Xu Shu frowned, "It's not a small project to transport so much money and grain away and hide it, you have been in charge of Qingzhou's government affairs for so many years, and you don't even notice such a big action?" ”
Zhong Xuan's expression became even more unnatural, Xu Shu looked at Zhong Xuan suspiciously, and couldn't help but suspect in his heart, at this moment, a royal forest soldier walked into the lobby quickly, came to Xu Shu's side, and whispered a word.
Xu Shu's face changed, stared at Zhong Xuan and asked, "Zhong Xuan!" Why did you come to the Axe Men who were in ambush around the lobby? ”
Zhong Xuan couldn't help but be surprised, at this moment. A voice rang out at the gate, "This question." Let me tell you when I come down! ”
Xu Shu frowned and looked towards the door. I saw more than a dozen Imperial Forest soldiers pouring into the lobby, and everyone had already unsheathed their swords, and then nearly a hundred armor soldiers walked in surrounded by a person dressed as a scribe, with a smug look.
Xu Shu couldn't help but be startled, his eyes shrank, and he said in a deep voice: "Who is this official Dao, it turns out that he is just a lonely ghost!" Xun Chen, the official still thinks you're dead! It seems that you used a trick to kill in the first place! So it seems. Yuan Shao's son Bacheng who fled at the beginning is hiding behind you! ”
Xun Chen laughed and exclaimed: "Xu Shu really deserves to be Xu Shu, he guessed so many things so quickly!" ”
Xu Shu smiled coldly, glanced at the group of armor soldiers in front of him, and said coldly: "It seems that this official is destined to be unable to retreat today!" ”
Xu Su turned his head to look at Zhong Xuan and shook his head, "I didn't expect Your Majesty to treat you so kindly, but you harbor evil intentions!" ”
Zhong Xuan's heart couldn't help but tremble. "Xiaguan ・・・・・・" looked like he wanted to speak and stopped.
Xun Chen laughed and said proudly: "Don't talk nonsense!" Xu Shu, you only have two ways now, one is to write a letter of surrender and cooperate with us. The latter way, you know it in your own heart! ”
"The jumping clown is so ashamed!" Xu Shu looked contemptuous.
Xun Chen snorted coldly: "Since that's the case, then don't blame me for being ruthless!" ”
"Xun Chen. You shut up! Zhong Xuan suddenly shouted.
Xun Chen couldn't help but be taken aback, "What do you mean, Zhong Xuan?" ”
Zhong Xuan walked up to Xun Chen and said coldly: "It's up to me to decide here." Step aside for me! ”
"You!"
Xun Kan's eyes flashed with a ruthless color, "Okay." It's up to you! I just hope you don't forget, the grace of the Yuan family in the past! ”
Xun Chen stepped aside and spent his time watching the play.
Zhong Xuan solemnly bowed to Xu Shu and saluted, "Envoy, the lower official ・・・・・・"
Immediately, only to hear a sonorous sound, Zhong Xuan pulled out his sword, and the Imperial Forest Army beside Xu Shu immediately tensed his nerves, but he was shocked to see Zhong Xuan cut off Xun Kan's head with a sword, and the head rolled around on the ground, and there was still a smug look on it, it seems that this guy doesn't know how he died!
"Zhong Xuan, you?" Xu Shu frowned and asked.
Zhong Xuan turned around, took two steps forward, knelt in front of Xu Shu with a plop, raised the sword that was still dripping blood with both hands, and said in a heavy tone: "The lower officials are at the disposal of the envoy!" ”
The soldiers behind Zhong Miao exchanged a bewildered look, and then knelt down one after another, and everyone's hearts couldn't help but feel uneasy
The Imperial Forest Army who was guarding Xu Shu couldn't help but look at each other, Xu Shu crossed the Royal Forest Army and walked towards Zhong Xuan, and a Royal Forest Army whispered with some doubts: "Make the king ・・・・・・"
Xu Shu shook his head and walked straight to Zhong Xuan, who couldn't help but lower his head.
Xu Shu helped Zhong Xuan up, "This official believes that His Majesty will never look at the wrong person, the reason why the county guard is rebellious is only afraid that there will be unavoidable hardships, but it doesn't matter, even if the official can't solve it, I believe that Your Majesty will be able to help the general!" Xu Shu said very solemnly
Hearing Xu Shu say this, Zhong Xuan couldn't help but be so excited that he couldn't help himself, "Make you! ”
Xu Shu patted Zhong Xuan's hand and smiled: "Say it, tell everything!" ”
Zhong Xuan nodded, sorted out his thoughts, and briefly recounted what happened before.
Xu Shu sneered: "What a good plan!" ”
Xu Shu paused, frowned, and said: "I'm afraid that Xun Chen and his ilk don't have such a mind, and the one who makes suggestions should be more clever characters!" ”
"Who does the envoy think it is?" Zhong Xuan asked in surprise.
Xu Shu shook his head, turned his head to Zhong Xuan, and said, "Although this plan is ingenious, the county guard doesn't need to pay attention to it!" Your Majesty will never listen to any one-sided words, even if everyone is sawing gold, as long as there is no conclusive evidence, Your Majesty will never deal with it rashly! County guard, you almost fell into a thousand hatreds! ”
Zhong Xuan couldn't help wiping a cold sweat and arched his hand: "Xiaguan is really ignorant!" ”
Xu Shu smiled, "Actually, it's not your fault!" I believe that after this incident, Zhong Junshou will never fall for such a plan again! ”
Zhong Xuan nodded ashamedly.
Xu Shu frowned and said: "There are two priorities at the moment, one is to stabilize the hearts of the victims, and at the same time ask Your Majesty to allocate another sum of money and food, and the other is to exterminate the bandit army and recapture the disaster relief money and food. ”
Zhong Xuan nodded, and immediately explained the relevant situation to Xu Shu.
Xu Shu thought for a moment and said categorically: "Since this is the case, then there is no need to wait!" I can't wait for Lieutenant Li to come back, this official ordered as an angel, Zhong Junshou, you immediately personally lead the men and horses to sweep the Qingchuan Gorge, be sure not to let one person fall into the net, and take back all the money and food! ”
Zhong Xuanhong promised.
"By the way, the envoy, what about asking Your Majesty to allocate money and food again?"
Xu Shu pondered: "Slow down in advance, if there is a situation in Qingchuan Canyon, it's not too late to ask!" (To be continued.) )
