Five years of county magistrate, 100 million catties of grain shocked Li Shimin

Soon, Fang Yuan's order was issued.

As soon as the news came out, the people of Jingzhou City were in a mess.

All the people were frightened by such a murderous order, trembling with fear.

Similarly, the aristocratic families in Jingzhou were also frightened, but they were more angry, angry at Fang Yuan.

"Damn it, he wants to break the bond between us and the people of Jingzhou!"

Luo Yonghui and others held another meeting to discuss.

Facing Fang Yuan's order, they were worried about losing the support of the common people.

Because Fang Yuan had [-] Jingzhou troops, their family had to rely on the support of the common people.

"I think that many people will not support us with this order. We should find another way."

"How to find another way?"

"Isn't Samurai Yu's family still in our hands?"

The Jingzhou aristocratic family quickly thought of a countermeasure, and planned to use the family of the samurai Xun to force the samurai Xun to submit.

Dudufu.

The gate is guarded by the Jingzhou army, and no one is allowed to enter without orders.

At this time, a handsome-looking young man was sneaking around outside the Dudu's mansion, looking left and right.

In the end, the young man gritted his teeth and strode towards the Dudu's Mansion. He wanted to enter the Dudu's Mansion, but was stopped.

"Blind you, didn't you see that I was Wu Yuanqing?"

The boy shouted angrily.

Wu Yuanqing is the eldest son of the warrior Xun.

"My lord, we don't care what your status is, if you intrude, be careful and we will show no mercy."

The soldier guarding the gate said righteously.

They don't know Wu Yuanqing, even if they do, they probably won't give face.

Now Fang Yuan is in power, not the warrior Xun, it's hard to say what the end of the warrior Xun will be.

Once the emperor and the courtiers, whoever dares to lose the chain at this time, I am afraid that the consequences will not be ordinary.

"you!"

"Is it possible to bring me a word to Wushun?"

Wu Yuanqing was furious and raised his hand to beat someone.

But seeing the way the soldiers looked at him lightly, his heart trembled and he didn't dare to make a move.

"Sorry, no."

"Please leave, otherwise we will expel you on the grounds of making trouble."

The soldier's expression remained the same, neither humble nor overbearing.

The one who spoke was even more like holding the handle of the knife and drawing it at any time.

"Just, just bring a sentence, is it okay?"

Wu Yuanqing's tone was no longer so tough, and there was a bit of pleading.

The two soldiers guarding the gate ignored his appearance, and Wu Yuanqing took out some red treasure notes from his bosom.

As soon as the banknotes of the Tang Dynasty came out, the eyes of the two soldiers guarding the gate lit up, and they looked at each other, very moved.

"You, what do you want to pass on?"

But the two soldiers didn't dare to collect the money immediately, they still had to see what was said.

Generally speaking, if it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter if they pass it on, and the people above won't know.

"Just, let's say that my younger brother has something important to discuss, which is related to my father's future. Please be sure to meet me."

Wu Yuanqing said in a flattering tone.

"Wait!"

The two soldiers looked at each other again, nodded to each other, snatched the treasure from Wu Yuanqing's hand, turned around and left.

Wu Yuanqing heaved a sigh of relief, but then felt a little heartbroken as he didn't see the [-] Great Tang Treasure Notes just like that.

Not long after, the soldiers came back, and Wushun also appeared.

"Sister, eldest sister!"

Wu Yuanqing shouted excitedly.

But Wu Shun's face was cold, even disgusted.

"Sister, you finally showed up."

Wu Yuanqing approached kindly as if he didn't see the disgust on Wu Shun's face.

"Tell me, what's the matter."

Wu Shun dodged him and approached, and walked outside the Dudu's mansion.

She didn't want Wu Ruyi to know, lest Wu Ruyi go to Fang Yuan to talk about her.

If Wu Yuanqing hadn't talked about her future with her father, she would not have appeared to see Wu Yuanqing.

Brother Wu Yuanqing and Erniang treated their sisters very badly, made things difficult and mean, and were more outsiders than outsiders.

"Sister, you have to save us."

"Mother, Yuan Shuang and your mother are all imprisoned by the family."

"They said, if father doesn't help them, let him collect the body for us tomorrow."

Wu Yuanqing begged.

"He, what do they want?"

Wu Shun didn't want to help Wu Yuanqing and the others.

However, his own mother was also imprisoned by them.

For the sake of his mother, Wu Shun could only see what Wu Yuanqing had to say.

"I, I don't know, they only asked me to send a letter to my father."

Wu Yuanqing was relieved to see that Wu Shun finally showed an anxious look.

He took out a letter from his bosom, which was written in five large characters written by the warrior Xun himself.

Wu Shun took it and wanted to open it, but the envelope was tightly sealed, and it could not be recovered once opened.

After thinking about it, Wu Shun didn't open it to find out.

"Thank you, sister. I'll go back and report back. Whether your mother is safe or not depends on you and your father."

Wu Yuanqing let out a breath, left after leaving this sentence.

That's all his mission is, he has to go back quickly, otherwise something will happen.

Wu Shun sighed, wanting to stop Wu Yuanqing and ask them how their situation is now.

But Wu Yuanqing ran faster than a monkey, and disappeared into the crowd in a blink of an eye, so he had no choice but to give up.

Soon, Wu Shun handed over the letter to the warrior Xun.

After the samurai Xun took it and opened it, his expression became heavy and tangled when he saw the letter.

"Dad, how is it?"

After the warrior Xun read the letter, Wu Shun asked.

"They said that if you don't follow their orders, they will kill your mother and your two older brothers."

The warrior said in a low voice.

He crumpled the letter and envelope, his nails digging into his flesh.

"Damn, how could they do this?! How dare they do this?!"

Wu Shun was so angry that his face was ferocious, and he clenched his fists tightly.

"Sister, what do you think dad should do?"

The warrior Xun took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.

If you help them, it means breaking with Fang Yuan.

Breaking with Fang Yuan means breaking with the imperial court, and will definitely be liquidated afterwards.

But if he doesn't help them, his two sons will lose their lives, and there will be no future generations.

Both loyalty and filial piety, both loyalty and filial piety. Since ancient times, it is difficult to have both loyalty and filial piety.

"Father, if mother doesn't save her, she will die."

"For Fang Shangshu's side, it should be fine to plead with him."

Wu Shun already had a choice.

She couldn't just watch her mother die.

As for the two elder brothers, they can do whatever they want, and it has nothing to do with me.

"Oh, Dad knows."

The warrior Xun looked at Wu Shun disappointedly.

The gap between the eldest sister and the second sister is not even a tiny bit.

If the second sister was here, she might persuade herself.

The second sister took a more long-term perspective, knowing that once she helped the family, there would be no future.

But the eldest sister is not wrong, if you don't save it, you will be gone, and there will be no future.

"Father, can I help you with anything?"

Wu Shun breathed a sigh of relief.

With father taking action, mother is sure to be fine.

Those aristocratic families are not stupid enough to actually kill people.

"No, just pretend you don't know."

"Whether it's from Fang Shangshu or your sister, don't tell them."

The warrior Xun shook his head, his eyes slightly blurred.

After sending Wushun away, the warrior Xun recruited his confidants.

He has been in charge of the Jingzhou Army for many years, and the Jingzhou Army was not seized by the family during his house arrest, which shows how terrible the control of the Jingzhou Army is.

"Let the generals of the vanguard army, the central army, and the logistics force come to see me, and remember not to let Fang Shangshu know."

The warrior Xun ordered.

"Yes!"

Henchmen leave.

Soon, the samurai Xun and other generals discussed in secret.

Outside the governor's mansion.

Wu Yuanqing brought the news back to Luo Yonghui and others.

After Luo Yonghui and other family members learned about it, they all laughed.

They then proceeded with the arrangement, waiting for a signal from the samurai Xun to agree to help.

Around night, the signal from the warrior Xun came to them.

"Hahaha, a samurai knows the current affairs!"

"Since Jingzhou is already in chaos, let's make the situation even more chaotic."

Luo Yonghui and the others laughed loudly.

Get someone to execute the agreed upon plan immediately.

Night falls.

The streets and alleys of Jingzhou City are uninhabited.

In fact, not many people dared to show up during the day.

Because Fang Yuan's order has not been lifted, they are afraid of being arrested by Fang Yuan's order.

Suddenly, a fire appeared in the direction of the south of the city, and thick smoke came out, covering the sky and the sun.

But because it was night, it was not discovered until the fire was very strong, and it didn't attract people's attention.

"Fire out, fire out"

People shouted.

Soon the patrolling soldiers were alerted.

Soldiers came quickly, trying to put out the fire.

This is a warehouse, and there is a sink in front of the warehouse, which is specially used for fire fighting.

However, when the soldiers rushed over, the fire was so intense that it was impossible to put out the fire.

"Team, captain, this seems to be a granary!"

Suddenly, a soldier trembled and said.

After the words fell, the patrolling soldiers were shocked and their eyes widened.

"Quick, put out the fire, put out the fire!"

The captain yelled in horror.

Even if you can't save the fire, you can still save it.

Only then did the soldiers react, and immediately picked up buckets to fight the fire.

It's just that in the face of raging fire, this approach is just a drop in the bucket.

Soon, the patrolling soldiers notified Fang Yuan, and Fang Yuan and others rushed over overnight.

"This can be said to be food and grass built by the water, and it was all burned. It is definitely man-made!"

Wu Ruyi made a conclusion with a dark face.

Although the grain and grass are not really built by the water.

But in case of accidents, the grain and grass are surrounded by water tanks, and there are water in all directions for easy rescue.

However, even so, the grain and grass were still on fire, not man-made, so it was God's will.

"Is there any suspicion?"

Fang Yuan looked at the patrolling soldiers and asked.

"No, no, it was already on fire when we rushed over."

Said the patrolling soldier.

"Where are the soldiers on guard?"

Fang Yuan continued to ask.

"No, I don't know, there was no one here when we arrived."

Only then did the patrolling soldiers come to their senses, and looked around in amazement.

That's right, where are the guarding soldiers? Why isn't one of them here?

"Who is in charge of the granary?"

Fang Yuan frowned, and looked at the warrior Xun and others.

The warrior Xun just didn't hold power, but Fang Yuan didn't dismiss him.

Therefore, the samurai Xun is still the governor of Jingzhou in name, and the generals of the Jingzhou army stand by him.

Facing Fang Yuan's words, neither the warrior Xun nor the other generals made a statement.

"Who is in charge of the granary?"

The warrior Xun repeated Fang Yuan's words.

"Captain, no one is in charge of making arrangements tonight."

"The guardians of food and grass are all fixed candidates, and there is no need to arrange them."

A general replied.

The other generals followed suit.

"Fang Shangshu, guarding the granary is the most important thing. I ordered a long time ago that they should not be responsible, and a special team will take turns guarding it."

The warrior Xun seemed to have just remembered, and reported to Fang Yuan.

"So it is."

Fang Yuan frowned, and looked deeply at the warrior Xun.

A moment later, there was a sudden, angry smile.

"Father, what about them?"

Wu Ruyi seemed to feel something was wrong, so she hurriedly asked.

Since father personally ordered it before, that team should be very trustworthy.

But such a trustworthy team is not guarding the granary now, why is it not there?

Because of father's acquiescence?
Or is it because of other reasons?

"Father doesn't know now, you have to check to be sure."

"What are you still doing in a daze, why don't you investigate quickly?"

The warrior said in a low voice.

"No, let's go back."

Fang Yuan waved his hand, said calmly.

The warrior Xun immediately frowned, and looked at Fang Yuan.

But Fang Yuan had already turned and left, he couldn't see Fang Yuan's expression.

Seeing Fang Yuan like this, Warrior Xun couldn't help frowning even deeper.

"Father, what's the matter with you?"

Wu Ruyi approached the warrior Xun and asked in an almost questioning tone.

Obviously, Fang Yuan discovered something, and was very disappointed with his father.

This time, he came to save his father, but his father actually did such a thing?
"Little sister, why did you talk to Dad!"

Wu Shun suddenly said dissatisfied.

"Don't worry about it. Do you know something?"

Wu Ruyi shouted loudly.

Then he frowned and stared at Wu Shun.

Father is behaving strangely tonight, unlike usual.

"What did you say?"

Wu Shun denied.

Because she promised the samurai Xun too exposed.

"Okay, Dad has his own discretion in this matter, so you don't need to say more."

The warrior said in a low voice.

After leaving this sentence, he left and followed Fang Yuan.

Wu Ruyi looked at the warrior Xun, her eyes were full of disbelief, and then turned into disappointment.

There is no doubt that it is his father, but why is he doing this, and what good is it doing him?
Burning the granary is undoubtedly not helping Fang Yuan to quell the chaos of the Jingzhou family, but helping the Jingzhou family.

Helping the Jingzhou family is standing on the opposite side of the imperial court, and sooner or later they will be liquidated by the imperial court.

Wu Ruyi couldn't figure it out, but she didn't answer no matter how many questions she asked after she caught up with the warrior Xun.

There is no way, Wu Ruyi can only bite the bullet and go to Fang Yuan to intercede.

"Fang Shangshu may not have been made by my father."

Wu Ruyi begged.

"Did I say it was your father?"

Fang Yuan said expressionlessly.

"But, but"

Wu Ruyi was so anxious that she almost cried.

Although you didn't say it, your look told me that he was my father.

"Okay, back off."

Fang Yuan still said expressionlessly.

"Fang Shangshu, I don't know why my father is like this, please give me some time, please?"

Wu Ruyi knelt down with a plop.

With Fang Yuan's power, as Fang Yuan represents the imperial court, as long as he sends a letter to the imperial court, his father's fate is almost certain.

"What are you doing? Get up!"

Fang Yuan frowned, said in a deep voice.

"I do not!"

"Give me a moment, please."

Wu Ruyi shook her head with a firm attitude.

"It's useless for you to do this."

"Your father is not a peddler, he is the governor of Jingzhou."

"He decided to do it, you can't convince him, accept your fate."

Fang Yuan didn't give her a chance, turned and left.

With his back turned to Wu Ruyi, Fang Yuan's eyes gradually turned cold, flashing a cold light in the dark night. (end of this chapter)
