scourge the qing dynasty

Chapter 140 Harassing Nanning
"Why are you still standing there? Don't run fast! Ride my horse and run! Listen to the voice, they are still four or five miles away from here, you still have a chance to run, run!"

Line Yuxuan's voice was very much like a woman's, but when she screamed sharply, it was no different from a woman screaming, with tension and despair in the sharpness, like a girl who saw The heart-piercing voice and tone that the lover's sweetheart makes when he is in danger. ——If you want to change your normal life, Fatty Lu will definitely get goose bumps all over his body again.

It happened so suddenly that Fatty Lu, who had become more and more experienced and mature, was completely taken aback. Subconsciously, he used to lead Yu Xuan's rein, but just as his fat leg was raised, Fatty Lu suddenly calmed down again, because Fatty Lu Suddenly, he saw that there were not only people from the Pingxi Palace, but also countless people from the Dingnan Palace, and there were countless people on both sides of the road. Xiao Mazi explain?Even if I can ignore the life and death of the father and son of the Line family, but with so many people tipping off the news, can I get out of Guangxi?

"Why are you still standing there? Why don't you go quickly?" In desperation, even the scheming Hu Guozhu was a little flustered, and Fatty Lu urged him again.

"No, uncle, I can't go!" Fatty Lu shook his head, pouted to the Nanning soldiers who came to see him off, and then pouted to the people watching the excitement on both sides of the road, and said in a low voice: "Uncle, do you see it? There is such a thing here?" There are many outsiders, if I leave, as long as there is any one of them who leaks the news, not only we will not be able to escape, but the father and son of the Line family will also die! Uncle, you and the prince will also be implicated by me!"

If the incident happened in Yunnan or Guizhou, and Xiao Mazi suddenly sent someone to arrest Fatty Lu, considering the importance of Fatty Lu to the Pingxi Palace, Wu Sangui and Hu Guozhu, whose strength has doubled one after another, might not be really afraid of Fatty Lu's involvement, and they might not really be afraid of Fatty Lu. Fatty Lu handed it over.But this is Guangxi, this is Nanning, even if you ride the fastest horse without sleep, it will take at least two or three days to return to Yunnan and Wu Sangui's sphere of influence. If you can't drop it, you can't resist it, so Hu Guozhu can't help acting carelessly.

"Then what should we do? You can't just catch him without a fight, right?" Hu Guozhu quickly asked, "You want to take a gamble? Bet that Emperor Mazi won't kill you if he catches you in the capital?"

Fatty Lu was so upset that he didn't know how to answer for a while, and Yu Xuan ran up to Fatty Lu quickly, pulled Fatty Lu's sleeve, and cried out in a crying voice: "What are you still doing? Don't run fast?"

"Third General Line, what are you going to do if I run away?" At this point, Fatty Lu simply sold his favor, and asked Lan Yuxuan righteously: "The emperor sent an imperial envoy to arrest me, you let me go Now, how do you explain to the emperor? How can I bear it?"

"I'm not afraid that you will get hurt! I want you to live! Live well!" Yu Xuan finally cried out, dragging Fatty Lu, crying and ordering: "Come on, hurry up! Put Master Lu on the horse and send him back to Yunnan Quick! Quick!"

Fatty Lu still made a few friends in Nanning, Hu Tongchun and Quan Jie and other straight-minded generals rushed over, picked up Fatty Lu and left, urging him in a hurry: "Brother Lu, hurry up, don't worry!" Leave us alone, we will figure out a way ourselves." "That's right, brother Lu, hurry up, if something happens to you here, how can we live with our conscience?"

"Let go of me!" Fatty Lu roared wildly. He didn't know where the strength came from. He threw Hu Tongchun and the others away, and shouted: "No! Absolutely not! I, Lu Yifeng, can sit up straight Righteousness, now being framed by treacherous ministers and imprisoned, I will bear the decapitation alone, but I must not implicate you!"

"I said we were afraid that you would be troubled?!" Line Yuxuan cried louder than Fatty Lu, "Who knows what bad things those treacherous ministers said about you in front of the emperor again? What would happen if you were caught in the capital? How can we be worthy of our own conscience? If you have any troubles, I..., what should I do?!"

"Mother! Why is this dead ladyboy talking so ambiguously?" Fatty Lu had goosebumps all over his body again, while Hutongchun, Quanjie and the others over there said nothing, picked up Fatty Lu and dragged him directly to the horse. To push Fatty Lu onto the horse.

Fatty Lu knew very well in his heart that there were too many people present here. Even if Yu Xuan, Hu Tongchun and the others fought for their official positions not to let him go, it would be absolutely impossible for him to escape from Guangxi at this moment—rather than letting them go now To pay back the favor, it is better to let these straight-hearted people owe themselves more favors, so that they have the hope of turning defeat into victory!At the very least, the line family will do whatever it takes to ensure their own safety in Guangxi, laying a safe foundation for their next step of adapting to the situation and responding to Pingxi Palace!

At this point in his calculations, Fatty Lu simply grabbed the handle of the knife on Hutongchun's waist, pulled out the steel knife, raised the knife to his neck and shouted, "Go away! Otherwise, I will die in front of you right now!" !"

Fatty Lu's move really startled Yan Yuxuan, Hu Tongchun and the others, subconsciously stopped pulling Fatty Lu, and Fatty Lu took the opportunity to shout: "Listen to me! I have already made a decision. Didn't she, Kong Sizhen, slander and frame Lao Tzu and let the imperial court send imperial envoys to arrest Lao Tzu? Lao Tzu came to Guangxi to be sent to her door to be killed. If she wants to be arrested, she will be arrested. If she frowns, she is not a hero! But I will never run away. You are all my good brothers, if you die, I will die alone, I can't let you die with me!"

"Brother Lu...." Yan Yuxuan couldn't help himself, sobbing, "We are not afraid of getting hurt by you, and I am even less afraid of getting hurt by you...."

"Yes, Brother Lu, we are not afraid of getting you involved." Hu Tongchun and others also choked up and said: "You run, if you don't run, it will be too late." what."

"Fart!" Fatty Lu yelled: "You all have wives and children, you all have wives and children, why do you want to die with me? If you still treat me as brothers, don't persuade me, don't make my conscience uneasy! I will tie them up and hand them over to the imperial envoys sent by the imperial court, so that you can be cleared of all suspicions! My name is Lu Yifeng! Not Sun Yanling, not Dai Liangchen, not to mention Kong Sizhen!"

Hearing Fatty Lu's loud words, even Hu Tongchun and Quan Jie were in tears, not to mention Rong Yuxuan who looked like a woman and was so sick that he could barely stand. The unstable Line Guoan was tearful, and he never thought that Fatty Lu, who looked so oily, would have such a warm heart.Hu Guozhu secretly admired himself, his future niece and son-in-law. The situation has become so critical, and he can still say so many high-sounding nonsense in such a calm manner-this is simply forcing the straight-tempered line father and son to dig out their hearts. .

During the stalemate, the flag of the cavalry team in the northeast direction was faintly visible, and Fatty Lu took the opportunity to shout again: "What are you still doing? Why don't you tie me up with a rope? I really want those treacherous officials in the court to make irresponsible remarks to you." , Have you fabricated a few more crimes for you? Quickly, tie me up and hand me over to the imperial envoys to silence those treacherous officials!"

Fatty Lu's words were really shameless to the extreme—with the temperament of Rong Guoan and his son, how could it be possible for Fatty Lu to be tied up and handed over to the imperial envoy sent by Xiao Mazi?The result was of course, until the Guangxi cavalry guarding the imperial envoy rushed to the vicinity, none of the Nanning soldiers came up and tied up Fatty Lu. They just stood there with tears in their eyes, and there were many others. Simply cry out like Line Yuxuan.

As the chasing team got closer and closer, Fatty Lu finally got a clear look at the faces of the people who came. Among the two leaders, one of them was in his thirties, with a long face with triangular eyes, bumps on his face, and the same clothes as Rong Guoan. All of them are under the control of color, presumably Kong Sizhen's most loyal confidant in Guangxi and Guilin, the lackey of Guilin, all control Dai Liangchen.And when he took a closer look at the other person, Fatty Lu couldn't help but his heart sank, and he screamed inwardly, "Oh no! Why is it that the imperial envoy is Li Xu, who has a grudge against me?! This kid hates me to the bone, and on the way to Beijing My safety is in danger."

"Wait!" At this point in the calculation, Fatty Lu's heart suddenly moved again, "Is it really just a coincidence? If Xiao Mazi or Kong Sizhen's gang has my real evidence, they shouldn't send this person who has a grudge against me." Li Xu is coming? They are not afraid that Li Xu will kill me on the road with private revenge, and there is no way to take out the secrets of the Pingxi Palace from my mouth? Could it be that...?"

During nervous calculations, Dai Liangchen and Li Xu's fast horses had already rushed to the official road, and after standing still about twenty steps away from Fatty Lu, Li Xu first looked at Fatty Lu with cold eyes, with a sinister smile on the corner of his mouth, Suddenly he shouted: "Bold Lu Yifeng, this imperial envoy was ordered to capture you, yet you dare to resist with a knife, the crime will be increased! Come, let this imperial envoy take down the criminal officer Lu Yifeng!"

Line Yu Xuan was in a hurry, and quickly stood up to refute, "Master Imperial Envoy, Master Lu is not resisting arrest with a knife!"

"Three generals, there is no need to cover up for Lu Yifeng." Dai Liangchen said with a sneer: "You assisted the imperial envoy in handling the case, and arrested the criminal officer Lu Yifeng who resisted arrest with a knife. You have made great contributions to the court and the Dingnan Palace. My lord will report to the Emperor Ming and ask for credit for you! Well, don't be dumbfounded, and take Lu Yifeng down!"

"Lord Lu did not resist arrest! No!" Hu Tongchun, Quan Jie and others shouted.Yu Xuan was so angry that his beautiful eyes burst into flames, and he yelled: "Dai, don't do this to me, I don't accept your favor! If you want to use us to add another crime to Mr. Lu, there is no way. Master Lu did not resist arrest, no!"

"Who said there wasn't?" Dai Liangchen pointed at Fatty Lu and said with a smirk, "Isn't the knife in his hand the ironclad evidence that he resisted arrest with a knife?"

"The knife in his hand..." Line Yuxuan still wanted to explain, but Fatty Lu shouted, "Third General Line, no need, if you want to commit a crime, there is nothing wrong with it?"

After finishing speaking, Fatty Lu threw away the steel knife in his hand, pushed away the reluctant Hutong Chunhe Quanjie and the others, strode up to Dai Liangchen and Li Xu, and said with a sneer, "Please, you don't need to be polite." Of course, Dai Liangchen, Li Xu and the others would not be polite to Fatty Lu. When they pouted a little, the cavalry and guards behind rushed up and held Fatty Lu down with all their might.

"Guard Li, it's been a long time." Fatty Lu sneered at Li Xu and said, "This time, your wish has finally come true, right? On the way to escort this time, are you planning to poison me to death, or do you want me to fall into the water and die?" die?"

"I want to spray water on mulberry paper and stick it on your fat face to suffocate you!" Li Xu roared viciously in his heart, and said with a smile on his face, "What are you talking about, Mr. Lu? Although there were some small disagreements between me in the past, but this imperial envoy escorted you to Beijing under the order of the emperor, so I will naturally do my best to protect your safety and prevent you from being harmed in the slightest, so why would I poison you to death or drown you? what about death?"

Fatty Lu smiled, and was not in a hurry to speak. Yu Xuan, Hu Tongchun and the others over there were shocked when they heard such words, and Yu Xuan almost turned around and shouted : "Hu Tongchun, immediately go and gather [-] cavalrymen, the most elite brothers, I will personally escort Mr. Lu to Beijing!"

"Deling, I'll go too!" Hu Tongchun agreed loudly.Over there, Li Xu, Dai Liangchen and the others were surprised at first, and then they were overjoyed. Dai Liangchen immediately laughed and said, "The Third General Lin really has a deep affection for Master Lu. Have you thought about it, and take Master Lu personally?" Are you not afraid of implicating old General Line when you escort him to Beijing?"

"Dai Dutong, don't talk about Old General Line and Third General Line." Fatty Lu said loudly: "You can put shit on me as you like, but don't talk about Old General Line and them! Me and them are just Ordinary friendship, everything has nothing to do with them!"

Fatty Lu's vicious intentions in these words are only clear to him - as the people of Rong Guoan and his son, it is even more impossible to ignore him when he hears his words of loyalty!At the same time, since Dai Liangchen is Kong Sizhen's number one confidant in Guangxi, the relationship between him and Rong Guoan and his son must be extremely bad. Now that the Ling family and his son hold the Phoenix Mountain silver mine, Dai Liangchen is really a saint if he says he is not jealous and salivating.In this way, if the line father and son insisted on protecting themselves, there is a high possibility that Dai Liangchen will drag the line father and son into the water, and if the line father and son enter the water, will the water be muddy?If the water is muddy, wouldn't he, nicknamed Oiled Loach, have more opportunities?

God bless the villain, Fatty Lu's despicable intentions are vicious enough, but what Fatty Lu didn't expect was that when these words came out, Li Xu and Dai Liangchen laughed sinisterly together. Even more vicious and treacherous than Fatty Lu.Fatty Lu's mind flashed, and he hurriedly shouted: "Wait a minute! Li, you haven't read the imperial decree yet, so read it out for me!"

"What are you still reading?" Li Xu showed the imperial decree issued by Xiao Mazi, and said with a sneer, "Did you see that, this is the imperial decree to arrest you and bring you to justice, if you want to know your charges, won't you understand everything when you enter the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice? "

"Bold Li Xu!" Hu Guozhu was not stupid, he stepped forward immediately and shouted loudly: "As an imperial envoy to handle the case, you were ordered to arrest the criminal, but you didn't recite the imperial decree in public. If you despise the emperor, how many heads do you have to chop off? !"

"Who are you? How dare you speak to me like that?" Li Xu asked angrily.

"Pingxi Wangfu Jinwu Zuo General! Hu Guozhu!" Hu Guozhu replied proudly: "The surname is Li, tell yourself, do I dare to speak to you like this?!"

"Hu Guozhu?!" Li Xu's shock was no small matter, the imperial decree in his hand almost fell to the ground, and he never expected to meet someone here that he could never afford to offend.

"That's right!" Line Yu Xuan also saw that the situation was wrong, jumped out and shouted: "According to the laws of the Qing Dynasty, if you arrest Lord Lu, you must recite the imperial decree in public and hand it over to Lord Lu to check the authenticity, otherwise, Lord Lu There is no need to accept the order! We will not hand over Lord Lu to you either!"

"Yes, if you don't read the imperial decree, you won't hand it over to Mr. Lu!" The surrounding Nanning soldiers clamored.Li Xu had no choice but to get off his horse, and shouted loudly: "Why are you arguing? Read it as soon as you read it, let you all understand! Be quiet—the imperial decree arrives, and criminal officer Lu Yifeng kneels to accept it."

"Lu Yifeng is here." With a glimmer of hope, Fatty Lu knelt down on his knees, and Line Yuxuan beside him also knelt down with Line Guoan, Hu Guozhu and others.Li Xu unfolded the imperial decree and said: "Following the heavens, the emperor ordered: After investigation, during the period when Lu Yifeng, the magistrate of Daxing County, resigned from his post, he persuaded the Nanning capital to lead Guoan and his subordinates to betray their benevolence and abandon the master, and to rebel against the imperial court. Wang Wu Sangui teamed up to embezzle Nanning Yinshan, with ulterior motives and an unforgivable crime. Li Xu, the third-class bodyguard in front of the imperial court, arrested him immediately, and escorted him to the capital for interrogation by the three courts. Hereby."

"Criminal Lu Yifeng accepts the order." Fatty Lu agreed loudly, and shouted happily: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

"Fart!" Fatty Lu received the order happily here, Hu Guozhu burst into laughter over there, and Nanning soldiers such as Yu Xuan and Li Ruchun exploded. Countless people jumped up and cursed, "Put your mother's dog fart When did Master Lu instigate us to betray the court? We are here to suffer and starve to guard against Annan, and even stabbed us in the back, it’s that bastard’s stinky fart!”

"Master Imperial Envoy, Dai Dutong, when did Lord Lu instigate our Nanning garrison to betray the imperial court?" Line Yuxuan was the most excited and his voice was the sharpest, screaming with red eyes: "Our Nanning army is loyal to the imperial court. When did you turn your back on the Lord, when did you betray the court? Who said it? Old... I'm going to fight him!"

"Third General Line, calm down, calm down." Li Xu said sweating profusely: "It's written in the imperial decree, and I can't help it. Besides, the imperial decree didn't say that you betrayed the court? It just said that the criminal officer Lu Yifeng encouraged If you do this, if you hand over Lu Yifeng now, nothing will happen?"

"Lord Lu didn't!" Line Yuxuan screamed, "Master Lu came to Nanning, he only did countless good things for us Nanning soldiers, and he never said a single word to persuade us to betray the imperial court!"

"Yes, Brother Lu drinks with me every day, and he never said a word to persuade me to betray the court!" Hu Tongchun clenched his fists and roared, "It's that bastard who slandered Brother Lu like this, I'm going to fight him!"

"Fight it! Fight it!" Countless Nanning soldiers waved their swords and guns and roared. The emotions were agitated and the scene was violent. At the same time, the soldiers guarding the city of Nanning also roared and rushed down the city one after another, killing Dai Liangchen, Li Xu and others. The [-] cavalrymen they brought were pale with fright, and their bodies were like sifting chaff—although the army directly under the Guoan Guoan was the worst equipped and the least paid in the Guangxi army, it happened to be the most desperate to fight. Come to think of it, no one can say clearly whether any of the eight hundred cavalry can escape from Nanning.

"Calm down! Calm down!" To everyone's surprise, Fatty Lu jumped out, waving his hands desperately and shouting, "Calm down, calm down, everyone! Listen to me, listen to me!"

Thanks to the Phoenix Mountain Silver Mine, Fatty Lu has a bit of prestige in the Nanning army. Under his desperate shouting, the Nanning soldiers finally calmed down. Fatty Lu took the opportunity to shout: "Brothers, you For Lu Yifeng's kindness, I, Lu Yifeng, appreciate you, and thank you on my knees! But, you have found the wrong person, this guard Li, he is just a messenger, not to frame me, nor to slander you, What's the use of getting angry at him?"

After speaking, Fatty Lu turned to Li Xu again, and asked loudly: "Guard Li, if I'm not mistaken, when Si Gege impeached me to the emperor, you probably weren't even present, right?"

"Yes, I wasn't there at the time." Li Xu, who had already turned pale with fright, immediately nodded and admitted without even thinking about it.

"Did Si Gege tell you about this later?" Fatty Lu asked again: "Did Si Gege tell you that Old General Line and the others have betrayed the court? They are going to give the Phoenix Mountain silver mine to Prince Pingxi - It doesn't matter, you are just the executor, not the party concerned, you tell the old general Line and the Nanning soldiers truthfully, they will not do anything to you, and they will understand your difficulties."

"That's right." Li Xu hurriedly said loudly: "Old General Line, all generals, I am really just a messenger, saying that the people who betrayed the imperial court and joined the Pingxi Palace under the instigation of Master Lu are Sigege and Xiong Dashi , it’s not me, I’m just following orders, don’t misunderstand me.”

"Four gege? Four gege?!" The Nanning soldiers present were all stunned, saying that they never thought that Kong Sizhen, Gege Kong Sizhen, whom they are loyal to, would slander them so much.And Rong Guoan, who was already out of breath due to illness, turned pale with his old face, gradually turning from white to gray, and finally opened his mouth suddenly, spewing out a mouthful of blood, and fell on his back to the soldiers...

"father--!"

"Master——!"

Amidst the heart-piercing screams of Yu Xuan and the Nanning soldiers, Fatty Lu and Guozhu Hu had smirks on their lips, because Fatty Lu and Hu Guozhu both understood that buying chickens with cages is not only for the silver mines of Phoenix Mountain, but also for the silver mines in Guangxi. The most capable and elite line national security army in the territory has fallen into the hands of Prince Pingxi like a ripe fruit.
