Qian Song

Chapter 81 The Hero Is Sad and the Beauty Passes

...

Li Cun's cheap uncle Yu Guang, who was presiding over the public trial, immediately greeted Li Cun when he saw Li Cun approaching, and said: "I have met the governor!"

The Yu family in Kuaiji was a large family in Jiangdong during the Six Dynasties, and it was one of the four surnames in Kuaiji.

After the Yu family moved south to Kuaiji Yuyao during the Han Dynasty, it began to develop rapidly at the end of the Han Dynasty and survived the Six Dynasties.

The children of the Yu family allowed Wen and Wu to handle the relationship with all parties properly, so they were able to maintain the family's long-term prosperity.

As for the Yu family, there are only two concubines in the present age—Da Yu and Xiao Yu, all of whom are currently Li Cun's concubines, and Xiao Yu is also one of the seven women who are pregnant with Li Cun's child.

With this relationship as the basis, Li Cun said to Yu Guang with a smile: "Brother, why are you so polite, you and I are not outsiders."

Yu Guang, who came from a big family, could not understand the politeness of those in power. He said solemnly: "The governor's words are wrong. A king is a king, and a minister is a minister. Courtesy cannot be abolished."

Li Cun didn't really date Yu Guang's relatives. He had so many relatives, and it was impossible for him to get close. Therefore, seeing Yu Guang's eye-catching eyes, he just shook his head helplessly, and pointed at the untied one before. asked: "Who is this person? How can the people let him live?"

Yu Guang replied: "His surname is Yan, and his name is Xiaoguang. Yan Shu, a famous official in the early Song Dynasty, is his great-grandfather. , who is in charge of catching thieves, and has a lot of achievements in governance."

Generally, people with good reputation like this don't need to go to the public trial platform of Huben Army.

——Since the Huben Army has stepped into the right track, under Li Cun's emphasis, the murderous intent of the Huben Army has become less serious. It can be said that as long as it is not a heinous crime, rich and unkind, and harmful officials, gentry and nobles, they will never go to a public trial At this stage, at most, they ransacked their homes and sent them to labor camps for reform through labor.

A person with a good reputation like Yan Xiaoguang doesn’t even need to search his home. At most, he will hand over all his family’s land deeds, IOUs, ships, armor, grain, cloth, horses, livestock, iron bars, horns, hides, tendons, etc. Sheepskin, arrow shafts, feathers and other things.

How could he be sent to a public trial?
Yu Guang saw Li Cun's doubts and explained: "When our Huben army entered Yangzhou City, Yan Xiaoguang led his two sons, a daughter, and more than [-] relatives and friends of the yamen servants in an attempt to prevent our Huben army from entering the inner city. Most were captured alive."

Hearing what Yu Guang said, Li Cun immediately understood.

Yes.

As the territory of the Huben Army has grown and its power has grown, the policy of the Huben Army has undergone some changes.

But this does not mean that the Huben Army will condone those who support the Song Dynasty.

In fact, the main reason why the policy of the Huben Army has changed is to make the people more accepting of the Huben Army and not to oppose the Huben Army's rule of them.

As for those who still oppose the Huben Army under such circumstances, the Huben Army will never be stingy about killing them.

Of course, now that the Huben army kills again, it is more likely to let them go to public trial.

This can also demonstrate the justice of the Huben Army, and at the same time prevent the Huben Army from killing good people by mistake to a certain extent.

It was under such a premise that Yan Xiaoguang was pushed to the public trial, and it was under such a premise that he escaped with his life.

Li Cun looked at Yan Xiaoguang's back and said: "Although there are tens of thousands of people, I will go and get down from the public trial. This person may be a hero. If he can be used by me..."

Having said that, Li Cun shook his head.

——Li Cun felt that the person who dared to lead the crowd to resist in the face of the tiger's army must be Zhao Song's diehard loyalist. It is impossible for such a person to be recruited by him.

No, Yu Guang saw that Li Cun had developed a love for talents towards Yan Xiaoguang, so he took the initiative to say: "The governor wants to recruit this Yan Xiaoguang?"

Li Cunzhao said honestly: "I'm afraid he may not be willing to accept my solicitation."

Yu Guang smiled slightly: "This matter is easy."

Li Cun's eyes lit up: "Brother, can you do this for me?"

Yu Guang said: "I am willing to give it a try."

Seeing that Yu Guang was quite confident, and Li Cun, who had nothing to lose, asked Yu Guang to try.

After Li Cun left, Yu Guang handed over the public trial to his officials, whispered a few words to his confidant officials, and then went after Yan Xiaoguang who had been released without charge.

——The rule of the public trial is, either die or be acquitted, there is no middle option.

"Brother Yan, stay here."

Yu Guang caught up with Yan Xiaoguang and said.

Yan Xiaoguang looked back and saw that the person who told him to stop was Yu Guang, who had just tried him publicly, and frowned, "But the Huben army didn't keep their promises, and wanted to cut off the head of a certain leader?"

Yu Guang said with a smile: "No, the Huben army has strict laws, and everything is subject to the laws. How can they easily change course?"

Yan Xiaoguang asked: "Then why did you stop me?"

Yu Guang said: "I respect Brother Yan's loyalty, and I'm here to treat Brother Yan to a drink."

Yan Xiaoguang didn't even hesitate, and said: "Differences in ways don't conspire with each other."

After finishing speaking, Yan Xiaoguang was about to turn around and leave.

Seeing this, Yu Guang said leisurely: "I respect Brother Yan, a hero. I don't want Brother Yan to live alone, and I don't want to rescue his children, relatives and friends. Fortunately, he gave up his life to accompany Brother Yan to do this mortal thing."

After speaking, Yu Guang also turned around and left.

How could Yan Xiaoguang not want to rescue his children?How could he not want to rescue those relatives, friends and subordinates who are willing to throw their heads and blood with him?
So, after hearing Yu Guang's words, Yan Xiaoguang quickly turned around and said, "Yu...Brother Yu, wait a minute."

When Yu Guang heard the words, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, then he turned around and extended the invitation again: "Brother Yan, would you like to have a drink with my younger brother?"

Yan Xiaoguang squeezed out a smile: "It's my younger brother who should treat Brother Yu to a banquet."

Yu Guang said: "Hey, you and my brother, why are you being so polite, it's inconvenient for your family now, why don't you go to my place and have a few drinks."

After speaking, Yu Guang dragged Yan Xiaoguang to his residence.

Yu Guang ordered someone to cook a sumptuous table of food and wine, and kept drinking with Yan Xiaoguang, without mentioning anything about saving Yan Xiaoguang's children, relatives, friends and subordinates.

Yan Xiaoguang was desperate to save others, so he could only pretend to be a snake, and frequently drank with Yu Guang.

After a while, Yan Xiaoguang, who is usually full of people, felt dizzy.

At this time, Yu Guangcai let go and said: "Brother Yan, don't worry, Yu Guang shoulders the responsibility of your son and others, and he will be safe and sound."

Seeing Yu Guang let go, Yan Xiaoguang secretly heaved a sigh of relief, and thought, "This wine is worthless after all."

Yu Guang raised another glass of wine: "Brother Yan's great-grandfather is both civil and military. He won great powers for Zhao Song. He is the prime minister of Zhao Song. He is a real hero. When it is clear, I will toast Brother Yan again."

Yu Guanggang agreed to help him save people, how could Yan Xiaoguang not drink Yu Guangjing's wine?

Yan Xiaoguang didn't say anything, after clinking glasses with Yu Guang, he drank it down in one gulp.

This glass of wine was also drank, and Yan Xiaoguang's body shook accordingly.

A 25-year-old beautiful woman who came to deliver the wine saw this, hurriedly supported Yan Xiaoguang, and reminded: "Jie-level drunk."

Yan Xiaoguang raised his drunken eyes to look at the beautiful woman, and suddenly felt that this beautiful woman is beautiful no matter how she looks.

Under the influence of this kind of psychology, Yan Xiaoguang couldn't help but tighten his grip on the beautiful woman's hand.

Seeing this, Yu Guang said to the beautiful woman, "Brother Yan is drinking too much, you can help Brother Yan to rest in the room."

After finishing speaking, Yu Guangda took a meaningful look at the beautiful woman.

The beautiful woman hesitated.

When Yu Guang saw it, he pointed out the window unobtrusively at a little boy who was releasing paper kites with two servants, and smiled.

The beautiful woman followed Yu Guang's fingers and turned her head to look, her face turned pale. She then looked down at Yan Xiaoguang, who was already drunk and his eyes were sparse, in her arms. Gritting his teeth, he helped Yan Xiaoguang into the room to rest...
