Tang Dynasty good doctor

Chapter 443

Chang Shi snorted and said: "Let them run away, be happy first, think that the matter is over, and then we send troops to chase after it, wouldn't it be just right!"

Si Cang was still puzzled when he joined the army, why did he have to make them happy, and just arrest them and bring them back, the sooner the matter is resolved the sooner.He asked: "Forgive me for being a foolish official, for not understanding your lord's intentions."

Chang Shi smiled and said: "It's interesting to see them change from great joy to great sorrow. Don't you want to see their expressions at that time?" After finishing speaking, he laughed and left the warehouse.

Sicang Canjun frowned, thinking: "That Bu Xiantong is just a servant, they are overjoyed, what is there to see, they are too busy with business!" Shaking his head, he has no interest in Chang Shi's strange hobby , Besides arresting and interrogating people, it has nothing to do with him, so stop thinking about it and go about your own business.

Chang Shi returned to his mansion, called his confidantes, and ordered: "You take someone you can trust and go after such a family..." He told the story again.

After the confidant heard this, he hurriedly said: "Master, after the things are snatched, should we transport them back to the city directly, or find a place to hide them first?"

Chang Shi thought for a while and said, "If we snatch it from others, others will steal it from us. If you want to keep things safe, it's best to hide them by your side and bring them back to the city." Well, who else will come to search for us!"

The confidant agreed and went out to do errands.

Chang Shi sat on the chair, closed his eyes, and thought to himself: "Old Bu has searched for many years, and there are countless treasures, which happened to be cheap for me. I want his treasures and his official position. As for his women... …Well, the selected ones will be kept, and the rest will be sold to the government, and the money will go to the government. I will not take a cent, and it will still appear that I am clean and honest!"

Thinking that he would be able to rise to the top and control a state in the future, the more he thought about it, the happier he was, he even hummed a little song!
Chang Shi's confidants took a group of servants out of the city, and when they ran to a deserted land, they changed into robber clothes and chased after the wheel marks of Bu Xiantong's family.

It has just snowed and the roads are difficult to walk. In addition, the people around Ganzhou hid in the city because they heard that the Turks were coming, so there were almost no pedestrians on the official road, only Bu Xiantong's family was on the road. wheel prints.

After a short while, Chang Shi's confidantes chased after him, and the servants covered their faces with black cloths, drew their weapons, and killed them silently!

Bu Xiantong brought the governor's concubine and his treasure, and his family of twenty people was on their way.Suddenly seeing the robbers chasing after them, the whole family was shocked.

The eldest son of the Bu family shouted: "Father, how can there be robbers at this time of year, what should we do?"

Bu Xiantong was also flustered, he was the governor's butler, and he knew the dirty things in the officialdom best.When they left Ganzhou, they would not send troops to chase them out until at least tomorrow due to their ability to argue with each other in the officialdom, and by then they had already disappeared into the countryside.What's more, now that there are many major events in the city, it is impossible for the officials to focus on one of their servants. It's just that the evil servant ran away with money. It's not a big deal, and it can be bigger than 10,000+ Turkic people?

But he made thousands of calculations, and he calculated that the officers and soldiers would not come after him immediately, but he missed one thing, that is, the robbers, or the officers and soldiers pretending to be robbers!
Bu Xiantong had lived for decades, and after only a moment of panic, he understood the reason. He said: "It's not a real robber. How could a real robber come out to rob in this kind of weather, and it's impossible for a real robber to know our whereabouts so quickly. , so it must be the servant of the officials in the city, but I don’t know who sent it.”

He said to the eldest son: "Boss, don't worry about us. These people will kill us if they rob property! Run away and leave the green hills. Don't be afraid that there will be no firewood. When the second brother catches up with them, remember to find out who killed us." Who is it, avenge us!"

The eldest son cried: "Father, how can my son escape alone, leaving you alone!"

"Stop talking nonsense, run away, do you really want the whole family to die in ignorance!" Bu Xiantong gritted his teeth, pushed the eldest son down, and said, "Run away, hurry up!"

The eldest son had no choice but to ride a fast horse and run forward desperately!

Not long after, Chang Shi's confidants led people to chase after him. Without saying a word, he brandished a knife to kill people. He killed all of Bu Xiantong's family and left no one alive.

Chang Shi's confidant saw the horseshoe prints on the ground, and said: "One escaped, catch up, and must be removed to prevent future troubles!"

Several servants urged their horses and chased after them.The servants came prepared, and all of them were skilled in martial arts. After chasing him for a while, they saw the eldest son of the Bu family from a distance.A servant laughed and said: "Equestrian skills are not very good, it's such a slow way to escape!"

The servants took out their bows and arrows, aimed at the eldest son of the Bu family and shot fiercely, knocking down the horse of the eldest son of the Bu family!

The eldest son of the Bu family fell off his horse and fled into the woods by the side of the road. He knew he couldn't escape and he would be killed, so he hid behind a tree and observed carefully. It seems who the hell is.

After a while, the pursuers arrived, and one of them laughed and said, "Do you still want to escape, Brother Bu, can you hear who the younger brother is?" The rest of them laughed together, got off their horses, and slowly surrounded the forest.

Hearing the voice, the eldest son of the Bu family immediately recognized that the person who spoke just now was Chang Shi's servant, and he was the governor's servant. , he will know who the murderer is!

I know I can't escape death, but someone has to avenge it.The eldest son of the Bu family tore off the inner lining of his underwear, bit his finger, wrote "the long history of the one who killed me" on the cloth strip, and hung the cloth strip on the tree.Afraid that the cloth strip would be discovered by the chief historian, he quickly walked out of the woods and said, "So it's you! Well, let me die to understand!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he drew out his saber and rushed forward...

The forest returned to calm, and there was no sound on the avenue!

After a long time, the sound of horseshoes sounded again in the distance. The second son of the Bu family came, and he brought back his nephew, that stubborn boy!It didn't take much effort to rescue the stubborn boy, Wang Ping'an was in a hurry to leave, and the Turkic people were also busy getting out of camp, so they didn't have the time to pay attention to the assassin who came to ask for bribes, and ignored it at all.

The second son of the Bu family rescued the stubborn boy, treated his injuries, and took him around the city to catch up with his father and elder brother. Time was lost, but because of this, they did not meet the chief historian and escaped. doomed.

After rushing to the scene of the accident, they saw corpses on the road, the second son of the Bu family and the stubborn boy hurriedly got off their horses to check, and when they saw the corpses of Bu Xiantong and his family members, they all burst into tears, but they didn't know who was responsible for killing them. family.

The stubborn boy looked around anxiously on the ground, and shouted: "Second uncle, my father is not here! He, is he still alive?" Seeing the horseshoe prints on the ground, he shouted again: "Second uncle, my father is good! The elephant has gone over there, I'll go and see!" Saying this, he jumped on his horse and chased after him.

After chasing him to the edge of the forest, he saw the body of the eldest son of the Bu family, called out to him, and jumped on it!The body was already cold, so of course it was impossible for him to ask anything. Seeing the family die for no apparent reason, the stubborn kid was at a loss as to what to do.

After crying for a long time, he saw footprints on the ground entering the forest, it looked like his father's footprints, could it be that his father had entered the forest?I heard from my second uncle that my grandfather took a lot of the treasures of the governor. Maybe my father got some and hid them in the forest, so they were not searched by robbers.He stood up and followed the footprints into the forest to check. After a while, he saw the cloth strip with writing on it!

It turned out to be the family that Chang Shi sent someone to kill. The stubborn boy rushed out of the forest roaring, took his father's body and returned by the same way.When the second son of the Bu family saw Bu Tiao, he was also furious.

The two discussed it, and found that this revenge is very difficult to avenge. Here in Ganzhou, there is no way to shake Chang Shi. If you want revenge, other than assassination, you can only go to the pass to file a complaint, and you can only go to Chang'an to file a complaint Well, other magistrates don't have the power to press such a case!

After discussing for a long while, the two of them really couldn't find a good way, so they could only find a place to bury the bodies of Bu Xiantong and others in the soil.The two rode on their horses and headed towards Liangzhou, intending to find a living there first, earn enough money to cover the travel expenses, and then go to Chang'an to file a complaint.

Wang Pingan led a large group of people and headed towards Suzhou. The more he went to Suzhou, the more Tang Jun he saw.

This time, in order to deal with the Turkic people fleeing westward, a large number of Tang troops gathered in the direction of Suzhou at the border. I thought that the Turkic people would come to Suzhou anyway, and this would be the best place to wipe out the Turkic people.But he didn't expect that there would be a sudden incident of the Xihacha Department, and he didn't expect that Wang Ping'an would subdue the Turkic people by himself.

When Wang Ping'an's messenger arrived in Suzhou, the generals from all walks of life hardly believed this fact. They talked a lot, all talking about Wang Ping'an.

The governor of Suzhou, the governor of Suzhou, and the governors of all the states who came here held a meeting for two days in a row, talking about how to deal with the Turkic people who moved west.Wang Ping'an had stated in his letter that the Turkic people who surrendered would not stay in Suzhou, and only needed to provide some food and grass. He would take the Turkic people out of the customs and settle in Zheliu County.

It is good news not to stay in Suzhou, but it is definitely not good news if food and grass are provided.Suzhou has already provided food and grass to the Tang army from all walks of life, and it has long been beyond their means. How can they provide the rations needed by more than [-] people in Wang Ping'an, let alone food for people, even forage for horses? Suzhou can't afford it Yes!

After discussing, the governor of Suzhou and the governor had no choice but to make a decision. Since the Turks had surrendered, the Tang troops from all walks of life should disperse and return to each state, so as to reduce the burden on Suzhou.

The governors who rushed over were dissatisfied after hearing the request. They thought they could make a great contribution, but in the end, they all became Wang Ping'an's foil.That's not counting, but they have to rush back in the ice and snow, and they have to withdraw again as soon as they are assembled. This crime really makes the governors very unhappy!
But there is no way, if you let them go back, they can only go back, we can’t just stay here, if we stay any longer, when more than [-] Turkic people arrive, we will run out of food and grass, and everyone will be hungry!The governors of each state led their troops and began to return to their states and counties one after another.

That's why Wang Ping'an encountered many Tang army troops on the road.Fortunately, the Tang soldiers did not have any conflicts with the Turkic people. When the governors met Wang Ping'an, they all came to see each other.

On the surface, they are affectionate, but the governors of all the states inevitably complain in private. We endure hardships, but you make contributions, and you are all governors. Why is life so bad!
After Wang Ping'an arrived in Suzhou, everything went smoothly, and there was no trouble in Ganzhou. The governor of Suzhou provided a part of the food and grass, which was enough for Wang Ping'an to reach Yumen Pass!

Suzhou has nothing to say, more than [-] Turkic people followed Wang Ping'an's horse and continued to move forward. The closer they got to Yumen Pass, the more peace of mind the Turkic people felt. Outside Yumen Pass was a broken willow, and their hard days were finally coming to an end!

Everything is going well here for Wang Pingan, but everything is not going well for Fang Xuanling and Wang Wendu. After they arrived in Liangzhou, they asked Shi Mutang, the governor of Liangzhou, about the battle situation at that time. He and Wang Ping'an had a lot of flattery, and when they described the battle situation at that time, it was ten times more exaggerated than what was written in the memorial.

No way, for so many days, Shi Mutang has been recalling the situation at that time, thinking of countless "details" at that time. After careful "analysis", he made these details more specific, and decided to write a book to record this. thing.It just so happened that the prime minister of the court came to inquire, how could he not have a reason for not talking about it!

Fang Xuanling was helpless, at Shi Mutang's place, it was impossible to ask about Wang Ping'an's fault, and his goal was not achieved.He had no choice but to leave Liangzhou and set off for Ganzhou with Wang Wendu.But on the way, they met two people surnamed Bu, who were a pair of uncles and nephews. When they learned that Fang Xuanling was the prime minister patrolling the border, they blocked the way and called for injustice, and wanted to sue Governor Gan Shi.

After Fang Xuanling asked, he found out that the Governor of Ganzhou was dead, and according to the pair of uncles and nephews, it was because Chang Shi and Wang Ping'an killed the governor, and Chang Shi killed the governor in order to successfully take over the post of governor. , Killed Bu Xiantong's family, the former governor's steward, and only the two of them escaped!
Fang Xuanling had no choice but to rush to Ganzhou to deal with Chang Shi's affairs.But Chang Shi firmly insisted that this matter had nothing to do with him. As for why the governor died, he had to ask the great sage, and the matter of killing Bu Xiantong's family, Chang Shi even pushed it clean, saying that he didn't know at all. He doesn't even know the uncles and nephews of the Bu family, so why talk about murder!
If he wanted to solve the case, he might have to ask Wang Ping'an again.Moreover, Fang Xuanling and Wang Wendu didn't have time to waste in Ganzhou, so they had to take the Bu family uncle and nephew to Suzhou.

On the way, the two saw soldiers and horses retreating from various states. When the generals saw Fang Xuanling, they couldn't help expressing their dissatisfaction with this rally.Wang Ping'an has made great contributions, and seeing that he is likely to be promoted, the governors of course will not speak ill of him directly, but only say that those Turkic people are too good to eat, and they divided the Tang army's food and grass, which caused the Tang army to rush back and forth in the cold winter. I mean, Wang Ping'an has too little experience to deal with Turkic affairs well.

All the way to Suzhou, I heard such words on the road.

Fang Xuanling didn't say anything, just kept it in his heart, but Wang Wendu spoke up, and he said to Fang Xuanling: "It seems that the prince has no experience in leading the army, and the logistics support is not handled well. Fang Xiangye Why don't you see, when we catch up with Wang Ping'an, how about giving the command of the tens of thousands of Turkic soldiers to the last general?"
