Liaozhai Great Sage

Chapter 397 Drumming
"Has Li Liangjin rebelled?"

In the lobby of the mansion, Li Xiuyuan sat on the main seat holding a piece of letter paper and frowned. Li Linfu was waiting next to him. Below him were five ghost kings and ghosts and gods from all directions.

"My sage, it was Li Liangjin who took the lead in the rebellion, but he has four great chiefs under his command. The Lord City God said that those four chiefs are all unusual, and among them Shihu was the first to break into the county." A Yin soldier clasped his fists. Salute, said respectfully.

"It's the Black Mountain old demon, and he actually rebelled with Li Liangjin?" The son-mother ghost king exclaimed.

Li Linfu narrowed his eyes and said: "My lord, Shi Hu is an extraordinary monster. With him here, it is not as simple as a simple rebellion."

"That's right, it's really not easy to have a big monster involved in it, and since Song Shou City God said that the four chiefs are not ordinary, I'm afraid they are all inhumans, maybe they were transformed by a big monster, and their morals are not weak. How many tigers are there, this is no longer a matter of pure ghosts and gods, this matter needs to be known to Fu Tianchou, otherwise it will not be a problem to capture half of Yangzhou in a short time with their abilities." Li Xiuyuan said.

At the same time, he was startled secretly, no wonder the gods and Buddhas in the sky helped him before, so they already knew that this military disaster was not easy.

But relying on the army of the imperial court cannot be put down, and ghosts and gods are needed to help.

Li Linfu said: "I am afraid that Fu Tianchou will not believe the news from the ghosts and gods. The news of the rebellion must be confirmed to be true before it can be reported. If it is half false, it is a crime of deceiving the emperor. The crime is not small."

Indeed, officials would not report any incidents of rebellion if they were not very certain. Not only that, but officials would even conceal it if there was a small-scale rebellion.

Why?

There is rebellion in the local area, isn't the local parental officer responsible?

So this also caused a strange phenomenon, that is, after the court knew the news of the rebellion, the rebels often became popular, even if the court sent troops to quell the chaos, the price paid was very high.

"Relying on the one-sided words of ghosts and gods is indeed not enough to convince Fu Tianchou. He is an upright official, and he will not be confused about big things. I can persuade him about other small things, but I can't convince him about such a big thing."

Li Xiuyuan shook his head slightly and said, "It's best to bring a civil servant or official from the place where the rebellion happened, even a yamen servant. With witnesses, Fu Tianchou will have to believe it."

"That's true." Li Linfu also nodded.

Li Xiuyuan sighed and said: "In the final analysis, my reputation is too low. If I have an official on me, I can report it to the imperial court in person. Even if the imperial court is corrupt, it will not ignore the appearance of rebels." Well, no matter how corrupt the court is, it will definitely not be like this."

Li Linfu suddenly whispered: "Master, have you forgotten that you have already started to govern Yangzhou? The list of magistrates and county magistrates in Yangzhou has been reported. Why don't ghosts and gods dream and let them report the rebellion to the court?"

"It's reasonable, but to entrust the officials with a dream must be a ghost with good morals, gossip ghost king, you can handle this matter."

After being reminded by this, he was a little stunned immediately, and immediately gave an order.

"Yes, I'll do it, kid." The long-bearded ghost king responded and disappeared into the hall in a gust of dark wind.

But at this moment, Ma Dong suddenly went outside and cupped his hands: "Young Master, there is a man named Mao Wu wandering outside the door, saying that he was guided by ghosts and gods to report to the rebels."

"Oh, there is such a thing?" Li Xiuyuan's expression moved slightly: "Let him in."

After a while, a pale-faced man in tattered military uniform walked in nervously. He looked around, but saw that there was no one in the lobby, but he always felt like someone was staring at him secretly, which made people feel a little nervous. Depressed breathless.

"I've seen the master here." Mao Wu bowed his hands and said.

Li Xiuyuan said: "Are you Mao Wu? The defender of the county that was captured by the rebels?"

"Yes, yes." Mao Wu said.

"The place of the rebellion is hundreds of miles away, how did you get here?" Li Xiuyuan asked.

Mao Wu truthfully told all the things that happened before, and raised his neck and said: "Look, there is still a red line on my neck, which was cut by the head of the thief. If it wasn't healed by ghosts and gods, Now I'm dead."

"It was done by Song Shou Chenghuang. He was a scholar before he was alive, and later became a doctor, and he knew some ghosts and gods' medical skills." Li Linfu's voice sounded from the side.

Li Xiuyuan said, "I know the whole story. Apart from your good fortune and fate, the more important thing is that you can survive. There is one thing you need to do. Now follow me."

"Go, where are you going?" Mao Wu asked anxiously.

"Follow me to the yamen and meet the Minister of War." Li Xiuyuan stood up and said.

"Okay, okay." Mao Wu didn't refuse, but just followed behind Li Xiuyuan obediently.

Since it was ghosts and gods who saved him and directed him to come here to find this young master, then this young master must be trustworthy.

Li Xiuyuan went out with him and two guards.

When he came to the gate of the yamen, he asked Niu Er to beat the drum to complain, but he was stopped by the yamen servant.

Li Xiuyuan threw a small piece of silver in the past: "Don't look for trouble here, take the silver and get out of the way. I am a scholar of this year. If I have something to report to the Minister of the Ministry of War, I will give you some benefits this time. If you stop me next time Then you’re welcome.”

"Don't dare, don't dare, I will report to you young master."

The yamen servant who defended the injustice smiled sarcastically, and retreated obediently.

If he dared to provoke the scholars in Jinling City, he would open Enke immediately. Who knows which scholar would be elected, and if he became a candidate, he would be a master. How dare he, a little yamen servant, offend him.

Soon, Niu Er beat the drum of injustice.

Fu Tianchou, who was dealing with government affairs in the yamen, frowned when he heard the drumming: "Who is beating the drums to complain."

A yamen servant trotted into the door: "My lord, it is Mr. Li named Li Xiuyuan who is beating the drums."

"Li Xiuyuan?"

Hearing this name, Fu Tianchou's eyelids twitched, he put down the government affairs in his hand and said, "Let him in."

Even so, he was muttering in his heart, why did this Li Xiuyuan pay him a sudden visit, beat the drums to protest his grievances, and walked so formally, shouldn't it be reasonable to hand over a greeting card?
"It's not about getting married. If you come here to make a fuss about it, I will never forgive him." Fu Tianchou thought to himself.

My letter has already been sent to Guobei County. If there is no accident, I will wait for the Li family's dowry. If Li Xiuyuan makes trouble with this matter, he will never agree. His daughter is determined to marry him. If this If things fail, who knows what will happen.
