Chapter 1035: One Wrong Step
Yang Zhi asked a few more words about the situation in Xiuzhou, and Chen Tong understood, Yang Zhi was talking about those soldiers who were loyal to Zhao Kai and his own group of surrendered people, these people were originally in Xiuzhou to protect Zhao Kai's private property, and now they are just waiting to be eliminated. Chen Tong calculated the time and said: "I'm afraid it's too late, adults know, Zhao Shujin and King Kang are not simple people, if we are determined to be traitors, it is likely that Zhao Shujin will be added to the name of a traitor." ”
"There is justice in the world, even if King Kang has such evil intentions, Uncle Zhao will be imprisoned at most, and it will not be in the way" Yang Zhi thought for a while and said: "As long as you are in Bianliang, King Kang's people have no way to testify; you don't have to worry about this matter, I will send someone to protect the princess's safety." ”
Yang Zhi immediately wrote a reply letter to Zhao Yingluo, thinking that in the current situation, the first thing is to protect all the people, and the second is to transfer the business to Hangzhou, and the people below can be incorporated into the dart bureau or martial arts hall, and if there are those who are unwilling to stay in Jiangnan, they can go to Huaining Mansion or Kaifeng Mansion to live first. Yang Zhi repeatedly reiterated that he wanted Zhao Yingluo and Zhao Shujin to make it clear, not to have conflicts, and not to give people a handle; the most taboo thing about Zhao Shujin was not his position close to Zhao Kai, but that he was not a person from the Song Taizong lineage.
Yang Zhi's chosen messenger was Lin Chong, and after Lin Chong was invited, Yang Zhi said directly: "I need you to go to Jiangnan to protect the princess and assist in dealing with Xiuzhou's affairs, Yu Shura is there, you just need to help." ”
Lin Chong said indifferently: "I'm here to defect to you, everything is up to your arrangement." ”
Yang Zhi said: "You help the princess move, bring a word to the princess for me, as long as the person is safe, the rest is outside the body." You have to know in your heart, in case Uncle Zhao is close or someone is impulsive, don't participate, don't care about success or failure, the most important thing is to protect the princess from Xiuzhou. When King Yun's reply arrived, I asked Gao Ziyu to rush over again, and it would only take two or three days at most. ”
Lin Chong is also a person who has been an official, so he naturally knows the importance of it, and immediately said that he remembered it; court disputes, how many major events are decided in half a day and one day, Yang Zhi is so anxious, naturally he is afraid that the situation in Xiuzhou will deteriorate. Giving up a Xiuzhou is not a big deal for King Yun now, but if the dispute causes a chain reaction, it will be more than worth the loss; Lin Chong and Yang Zhi sealed the letter with fire paint, and immediately set off with four selected good players.
Yang Zhi did not guess wrong, Zhu Fu came with a purpose, after putting Uncle Zhao in prison, he arrested and tortured the Shengjie soldiers who participated in the whole incident every day, and killed more than a dozen soldiers successively; Hearing Lin Chong say this, and reading Yang Zhi's letter again, Zhao Yingluo said to Yu Shura: "Take Xu Ming to Hangzhou, and we will start to transfer to Hangzhou." ”
Xu Ming is the person in charge of those soldiers after Chen Tong left, Yu Shura asked, "What should Uncle Zhao do when he is near?"
"Wait for the third brother's instructions. Zhao Yingluo said calmly: "From now on, I will send someone to deliver food to Uncle Zhao every day, and see what Zhu Fu should do?" Xu Ming has made up his mind that he can only bear it for five days, and if he doesn't leave, something is likely to happen, so let's get rid of it first. ”
Xu Ming had no room for resistance in the face of Yu Shura, and was pointed out by Yu Shura, thrown on a mule cart and sent to Hangzhou, and dozens of soldiers left together; Zhu Fu was extremely annoyed when he learned that he had no way to get close to Uncle Zhao in prison, and there was no way for the group of people who escaped, because these people were placed in the salt field, to put it bluntly, they were overseers and thugs, and they were not soldiers at all, so what barracks regulations did not work.
The whole court, including him, never expected that Zhao Yingluo did not take any means of counterattack, but instead retreated and commanded his subordinates to leave Xiuzhou. Zhu Fu knew that his master King Kang and the Dingbei Army were confidant and aware of each other, and they were afraid of each other, and this time they were lucky to find an opportunity, but what they never expected was that it now evolved into his own predicament;
The first and most immediate reaction was the salt pans. On the day of Zhao Shujin's arrest, Zhao Yingluo wrote to Runzhou that he didn't care about the salt farm, and now on the fourth day, the salt farm actually stopped working; for no other reason, a large number of soldiers and salt farmers fled for fear of their own safety, and those people were innocent and had nothing to do with Yun Wang and Zhao Shujin. Zhu Fu said angrily in the face of the cowering salt supervisors: "What are you doing to eat?"
Several salt supervisors are actually scolding in their hearts, they were originally in the salt field to eat and drink spicy, very satisfied with the current pattern, Zhu Fu came to change the pattern of behavior, the first victim is actually them, but the official level crushed people, let Zhu Fu get angry, one by one silent. When Zhu Fu was tired of scolding, the anger was almost gone, and the salt supervisor Chu Shenghai at the head arched his hand and said: "My lord, the top priority is to restore the production of the salt farm, in fact, there is no way now, if Princess Yingluo comes out and says, not only will people not run away again, but those who have escaped will also come back." ”
Zhu Fu sighed, one wrong step, one wrong step. Now the only thing he can do is to try to delay the relationship between King Kang and Zhao Yingluo, but the difficulty is so great, for Zhu Fu, the certainty of success is extremely slim; But now for Zhu Fu, Zhao Yingluo is the only hope, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, you have to give it a try.
Zhu Fu came to Zhao Yingluo's house uneasily, and found that he thought too much along the way, Zhao Yingluo had instructed the porter, all the officials were not seen, Zhu Fu was directly turned away; Zhu Fu could only go out of the city to Xin Daozong's military camp, this is a wonderful son under King Kang, Zhu Fu hopes to have unexpected gains.
Xin Daozong with 3,000 elite soldiers stationed next to the avenue between Xiuzhou and Hangzhou, the camp stretched for several miles, Zhu Fu walked to the middle of the big tent with a handsome flag erected high, only to the door, unexpectedly smelled the smell of decoction. Zhu Fu walked into the big tent quickly, and saw Xin Daozong leaning on the bed with a gloomy face, and an empty bowl with medicine residue on the bedside table, Zhu Fu asked in surprise: "What's wrong?"
Xin Daozong whispered: "Didn't I catch the escapees here? I didn't expect that there were a large number of good players in the rivers and lakes, and even Li Jun, the mixed river dragon who followed Song Sanlang back then, and others. ”
