scourge the qing dynasty

Chapter 141
With the presence of the genius doctor Zhu Fangdan, Lin Guoan's old life was not reimbursed on the spot, but when he was rescued, his old life was only half breathed, and even the words had already been spoken. It was whistling like a bellows, and there were only muddy old tears flowing in the eyes, and the light was so dim that it was almost undetectable.

Faced with such a condition, Zhu Fangdan, known as the world's number one genius doctor, was helpless, so he had no choice but to say to Lan Yuxuan and other Nanning generals: "Three generals, all generals, it's not that students don't work hard, it's just that grief is greater than death, old general My tuberculosis is already severe, but after being subjected to such a huge stimulus, my mind and body are on the verge of collapse. The students really don't know how long they can last. So..., you'd better prepare for it. Let the old general arrange the funeral."

To everyone's surprise, upon hearing Zhu Fangdan's words, even Li Ruchun and Hu Tongchun, bearded generals, had choked up words and tears in their eyes. Xuan Que didn't even cry, but clenched his tiny teeth, clasped his fists and gave Zhu Fangdan a deep bow calmly, and said solemnly: "Thank you, Dr. Zhu, please do your best to save my father, even if there is still a glimmer of hope. Please do your best, Yu Xuan, thank you in advance."

Of course Zhu Fangdan didn't even dare to say it, saying that he would do his best to rescue Rong Guoan, and Yan Yuxuan straightened up again, and ordered repeatedly: "Zhou Jian, send my father back to the Dutong Mansion, and take care of him day and night; Li Ruchun, order Nanning to garrison All return to the team and strictly guard the big and small passes; Hutongchun, immediately gather the Nanning city garrison and come here to wait for orders!"

"Decree!" All the Nanning generals came out together and clasped their fists in agreement, and quickly went down to make arrangements.Over there, Li Xu and Dai Liangchen were scared out of their wits and shouted repeatedly: "Lian Yuxuan, what do you want? What do you want?"

"Nanning officers and soldiers listen to the order!" Line Yuxuan yelled again, and countless Nanning soldiers and soldiers clasped their hands together and agreed neatly, "Here!"

"Take down Li Xu and Dai Liangchen, but if they resist, they will be killed!" Line Yuxuan pointed at Li Xu and Dai Liangchen and roared.

"Lian Yuxuan, are you crazy? Do you want to be executed by everyone?!" Li Xu yelled out of his wits, "I am the imperial envoy, if you dare to arrest me, you are not afraid of being executed by everyone?!"

Li Xu obviously underestimated Lan Yuxuan a little bit. In history, Lan Yuxuan did this. He forced Sun Yanling and Kong Sizhen to hide under the beds of ordinary people and escape for their lives. He was not released until he promised to hand over all military power in Guangxi If it came out, this would make Yu Xuan angry that his father was made so angry by the ruthless and ungrateful Kong Sizhen, so naturally he would be even less polite.The Nanning soldiers were grateful for the old kindness of Rong Guoan, and they almost didn't hesitate when they heard the order. They immediately raised their swords and guns, and rushed towards Li Xu and Dai Liangchen like a tide, surrounded them, and shouted angrily: "Kneel down, kneel down!"

"Long Yuxuan, you are crazy, you are absolutely crazy!" Dai Liangchen howled like a pig, "You have thousands of soldiers and horses who want to mutiny, you must be crazy!"

"Stop being wordy, take it down!" Line Yu Xuan yelled angrily again.The Nanning soldiers rushed forward like wolves and tigers, pulled Li Xu and Dai Liangchen off their horses in two or three strokes, pressed them to the ground and beat and kicked them. The soldiers and guards around Li Xu and Dai Liangchen didn't even have the courage to resist. No, they scrambled to drop their weapons and kneel down to surrender. The [-] cavalry brought by Dai Liangchen didn't dare to rush up to rescue them in a hurry because they had no command. .

It happened so suddenly that even Hu Guozhu and Fatty Lu didn't expect that Line Yuxuan would immediately make up his mind to openly launch a mutiny and directly attack the imperial envoy. Unprepared, Hu Guozhu and Fatty Lu hurriedly got together to discuss countermeasures.Fatty Lu asked in a low voice: "Uncle, what should we do now? Should we persuade Yu Xuan to calm down, or let him go on like this?"

"It's best to stop him." Hu Guozhu replied in a low voice: "Father-in-law hasn't made up his mind yet, and it's even more impossible to completely turn against the court for the sake of the line father and son. Keeping the line father and son is better than letting them die now."

"That's it." Fatty Lu said in a low voice: "My nephew is going to stop them, please uncle get ready, Dai Liangchen and Li Xu's group in Guangxi should not dare to do anything to me, leave Guangxi, The safety of my little nephew is up to you, uncle."

"Don't worry, I'll make arrangements right away." Hu Guozhu also knew that Fatty Lu was really wronged this time. As long as he arrived in the capital safely, there would be no major incidents. On the contrary, he could use this case to stir up chaos in Guangxi. So he immediately agreed with Fatty Lu's decision.

"Stop it! Stop it, stop it!" After making up his mind, Fatty Lu rushed forward, yelling, and with the help of Fang Shiyu and Hong Xiguan, he squeezed his way into the crowd until he was beaten to the point of bleeding. In front of Li Xu and Dai Liangchen, who were in a hurry, he opened his hands to protect the two of them, and shouted at everyone, "Stop me! If you don't want to kill your commander-in-chief or your three generals, give them all to me!" stop!"

"Master Lu, don't worry about it!" Yan Yuxuan screamed with red eyes: "Kong Si bitch framed us Nanning soldiers so badly and made my father so angry. I made up my mind to kill these two thieves first." Arrest them, and then lead troops to Guilin to remonstrate!"

"Fart!" Fatty Lu yelled, "Going to Guilin to remonstrate? You can figure it out! I'm afraid you will be killed before you reach Liuzhou, and you still want to remonstrate?! If you don't want to kill these people Loyal and loyal soldiers, if you don’t want your father’s fame to be ruined, and if you don’t want your family to be ransacked, I will stop it immediately!”

"Yes, Third General Line, calm down." Li Xu, whose nose bridge was broken, covered his bleeding nose, begging in a low voice, "Third General Line, you still have time to turn around now, Li Xu You can swear to God, as long as you stop now, I can pretend that this never happened, and never report a word to the emperor!"

"Third General Line, please calm down." Hu Guozhu also seized the opportunity to grab Line Yuxuan, and said seriously: "Third General Line, you still have room for redemption if you stop now, and our Pingxi Palace will settle this matter for you at all costs. , I guarantee you are safe and sound. If you go on like this, even my father-in-law will not be able to protect you. "

After being persuaded by Hu Guozhu and Fatty Lu, Line Yuxuan also gradually calmed down from his extreme anger, while Fatty Lu repeated his old trick, snatching a knife from a Nanning soldier and putting it on his neck , shouted: "Third General Line, I brought everything on you. If you turn your head now, then I will be in front of the emperor. I will bear all the crimes alone. I will do my best to clear up your grievances!" Otherwise, I will have to kill myself and apologize to the soldiers of Nanning! Three generals, I beg you, stop now, there is still time!"

Seeing Fatty Lu raising his knife to rest his neck, and hearing Fatty Lu's earnest words that were all for his own sake, Yu Xuan burst into tears and sobbed for a long time, finally, he was powerless and lowered his face, which was more beautiful than a woman , waved his hand weakly, and let the heavily armed Nanning garrison retreat...

………………

After finally persuading Lan Yuxuan to go crazy and stop the imminent Nanning mutiny, Fatty Lu was afraid that there would be some troubles caused by accidents, so he quickly asked Li Xu and Dai Liangchen to escort him out of Nanning--or the same sentence, Fatty Lu He was really wronged this time, and he more or less guessed that Kong Sizhen's purpose was to scare the snake and force him to show his original shape, so Fatty Lu was really not afraid of being escorted to the capital. The only thing he had to worry about was the safety issue on the road.

When leaving Nanning in the prison car, Line Yuxuan originally wanted to personally lead the team to escort Fatty Lu to safety, but of course, Fatty Lu firmly rejected this point—Fatty Lu finally convinced the Nanning garrison, so he naturally didn't want Line Yuxuan to be serious. Following the mistakes of someone like Zhang, at the same time, Rong Guoan's physical condition does not allow Rong Yuxuan to leave Nanning at will.So Line Yuxuan finally gave up this plan under Fatty Lu's persuasion, and instead sent Quanjie, who had a good relationship with Fatty Lu and was loyal to the Line family father and son, to lead five hundred elite cavalry to protect Fatty Lu from Guangxi.

There was such a big disturbance, and he was angry at Kong Sizhen's ruthlessness. After Lu Fatty left, Rong Yuxuan led the Nanning garrison into the embrace of Pingxi Palace, accepted the money and food assistance from Pingxi Palace, and cooperated with Pingxi Palace. Jointly developed the Phoenix Mountain Silver Mine and officially became a member of Pingxi Palace.But Hu Guozhu was overjoyed, so he hurried to get to work, while writing to Wu Sangui to inform him of the situation, asking Wu Sangui to use all his strength to protect Lu Fatty and Lan Yuxuan, and settle all the troubles caused by the Nanning army's attack on the imperial envoy; at the same time, he sent a fast horse to contact Guangxi Various forces in the territory asked them to protect Fatty Lu's safety on the road.

There are two flowers blooming, one branch each, not to mention that Yu Xuan and Hu Guozhu hooked up in Nanning City, but after Fatty Lu left Nanning, Li Xu and Dai Liangchen, who had been frightened into frightened birds, were of course on their way day and night , and strive to leave the line's father and son's sphere of influence as soon as possible.At the same time, in view of the protection and surveillance of the entire section with the army, I didn't dare to attack Fatty Lu. I just planned to wait until I left the line's sphere of influence, and immediately used the excuse that the garrison had never been transferred and could not leave the garrison. The team is sent away, and then they will find a way to avenge their hatred.

Although the abacus was well calculated, it is a pity that Dai Liangchen and Li Xu's team had just arrived at the border of Nanning Prefecture, and ran into the team sent by Guangxi Admiral Ma Xiong. , the relationship with Pingxi Palace is better, but the relationship with Kong Sizhen and Sun Yanling is extremely bad.Therefore, General Ma not only sent his confidant army to protect and monitor under the pretext of protecting the imperial envoy, but also brought an order to Quanjie—ordering Quanjie to lead [-] troops north to the Dong'an County Pass at the border between Guangxi and Hunan, and detain one of them in the local area. Liuzhou deserters returned to Liuzhou for trial.

Ma Xiong blatantly protected the Line family and his son and Fatty Lu to this point. Although Li Xu and Dai Liangchen were furious, they were helpless—after all, Ma Xiong was the admiral of Guangxi, and all the troops in Guangxi were mobilized under Ma Xiong's command.What made Li Xu and Dai Liangchen even more unexpected was that the old local snake horse and the old general's more insidious methods were still behind. On the way north to Guilin, either there was martial law here, or the bridges and roads were damaged there, or the post station lacked fodder to feed the horses. , tried every means to delay the marching time of Li Xu and Dai Liangchen's team, and bought time for Pingxi Palace and Pingnan Palace to respond. Li Xu and Dai Liangchen were furious, but they were still helpless.

In the end, Li Xu and Dai Liangchen had no choice but to give up their minds of fighting in Guangxi, and honestly led Fatty Lu to the north slowly, hoping to leave Guangxi as soon as possible, and then find a way to kill Fatty Lu on the road. .But of course, on this road, Fatty Lu had to suffer a lot. He was beaten by wind and rain in the prison car, exposed to the sun and rain, eating bad rice and pickles, which helped Fatty Lu lose a lot of weight. Less fat.

I just walked around for more than ten days, and finally left Liuzhou Mansion. When I returned to Guilin Mansion directly controlled by Kong Sizhen, Sun Yanling and Dai Liangchen, I just arrived at Suqiao, before Li Xu and Dai Liangchen breathed a sigh of relief. Suddenly, another team came from the north, and the leader was none other than Kong Sizhen's official husband, General Sun Yanling of Guangxi.

This General Sun, who hadn't been seen for a long time, is now full of stubble, obviously haggard and decadent—no way, without Kong Sizhen's presence and secret help, General Sun has already been killed by Ma Xiong, Dai Liangchen and Line Guoan. These bad guys have been completely emptied, and it's really strange that they can still be high-spirited.As soon as they met, General Sun, who had the same bad relationship with Dai Liangchen, didn't speak, jumped off the horse, and rushed directly to the prison car with a whip in his hand. Do you know me?"

"Sun Junmen, long time no see, are you okay?" Fatty Lu agreed with a wry smile.

"It's good that I know Lao Tzu." Sun Yanling gritted his teeth, waved his horsewhip and asked, "Your surname is Lu, do you know why Lao Tzu came here in person today?"

"Sun Junmen must have come to settle accounts with my younger brother." Fatty Lu replied with a wry smile: "But Sun Junmen, you broke your promise last time, and at the critical moment, you betrayed and sold Prince Pingxi. Of course, Prince Pingxi refused to perform Nuoyan, you can't blame the younger brother, can you?"

"Fuck you, I didn't talk about that!" Old Sun Yanling blushed, slammed his whip on the prison car, and roared: "I'm here to ask you today, and I heard that you talked a lot about Mrs. The bad words of her have also caused her a lot of trouble, is there such a thing?"

"Sun Junmen, you have wronged my brother." Fatty Lu shouted, "What is your identity, how dare you speak ill of Mrs. Si Gege behind your back? As for stumbling Si Gege, that's fine The words seem to be reversed, right? If it wasn’t for Si GeGe’s blessing, my little brother would come here in a prison car today?”

"Fart!" Sun Yanling was furious, and lashed Fatty Lu's disgusting fat face with a heavy whip, but just as the whip swung in the air, two strong and powerful hands stretched out and grabbed his arms together.Sun Yanling turned her head in surprise, but saw that the people holding her arms were Ma Xiong's second son Ma Ning and Yu Xuan's confidant Quan Jie, Sun Yanling immediately roared angrily: "Get out, don't get in the way."

"Junmen, although Lu Yifeng is now guilty, he has not been convicted, and you have no right to punish him." Ma Ning frowned and held Sun Yanling's arm tightly, then turned to Li Xu, who was watching the excitement, and shouted : "My lord, you escorted Lu Yifeng to Beijing by order. Is this how you escorted him? Someone tried to hurt the prisoner you escorted, and you didn't care about it?"

"Who said I don't care?" Li Xu said reluctantly: "Sun Junmen, please calm down. The next official has ordered the criminal officer Lu Yifeng to be escorted to Beijing. He must be protected along the way. If you insist Doing so would make it very difficult for the next official.”

"Yes." Dai Liangchen also said darkly: "Sun Junmen, don't let the imperial envoy embarrass you. Unless you bear all the consequences for you, the imperial envoy really dare not let you hurt the prisoner at will."

"Just bear the burden, what's the big deal?" Sun Yanling also hated Fatty Lu to the bone, roared and swung his whip again, "Smash this son of a bitch to death, I will accompany you if the court wants to kill or cut him!"

"Junmen!" Ma Ning grabbed Sun Yanling's arm again, and shouted: "The final general was ordered to protect the imperial envoy to leave Guangxi, and the prisoners escorted by the imperial envoy are naturally also under the protection of the late general! If the military gate insists on hurting Lu My lord, stop blaming the last general for being rude!"

"You're welcome to me?" Sun Yanling growled like a cockfighting cock with red eyes, "I want to have a look today and beat this Fatty Lu to death. How dare your surname Ma do anything to me?"

"Then try it!" Ma Ning simply let go of Sun Yanling's arm, put his hand on the handle of the knife and stared at Sun Yanling and shouted: "The last general also wants to see today, whether Sun Junmen dare to try!"

Although Quan Jie next to him didn't speak, he waved his hand, and the five hundred Nanning cavalry behind him rushed up immediately, pressing Sun Yanling, Fatty Lu and others with their hands on the handles of their knives, watching them for a while, and the soldiers Sun Yanling brought did not Dare to be negligent, and rushed up to confront Quan Jie and Ma Ning's team, swords drawn.Seeing this scene, Li Xu and Dai Liangchen couldn't even close their mouths from laughing, and hurriedly backed away, hoping that the two sides would fight quickly.

"Damn, why is this fat man so popular?" Sun Yanling wondered, saying that he never thought that Ma Xiong and Yu Xuan's people would be so determined to protect such a small character as Lu Fatty.

"Generals, stop arguing, there are people coming again." Fatty Lu suddenly opened his mouth and pouted towards the north of the official road, "It seems to be an official post."

Everyone turned their heads together, and saw that there was another team coming from the north of the official road. Although there were not many people, they were all dressed in official uniforms, and the leader was wearing a helmet with a lightning rod.At this time, Li Xu also exclaimed, "Cao Yin? Why is he also in Guangxi?"

When he was surprised, Cao Yin's team had already arrived in front of Fatty Lu, Li Xu and the others. Taking a closer look at the situation present, Cao Yin asked in great surprise, "Brother Li, all generals, what are you doing? Are you causing internal strife?"

"Don't worry about this for now." Li Xu shook his head, and asked Cao Yin in doubt, "Brother Cao, why did you come to Guangxi too? Do you have any intentions?"

"It's because of a purpose that I came here." Cao Yin replied helplessly. ——At the same time, Cao Yin scolded Li Xu in his heart, "Trash! I have deliberately slowed down to give you a chance, why haven't you killed Fatty Lu yet?"

"What purpose?" Li Xu hurriedly asked again.Cao Yin had no choice but to take out the imperial decree from his bosom, and shouted loudly: "The imperial decree has arrived, Li Xu and Lu Yifeng kneel down to accept it."

Li Xu hurriedly got off his horse and knelt down, while Fatty Lu also knelt down in the prison car, Cao Yin read weakly: "By God, the emperor ordered: After investigation, there seems to be an inside story about the case of Li Yifeng between Lu Yifeng, the magistrate of Daxing County. It is reasonable to be cautious. During the period when Li Xu, the third-class bodyguard with a knife in the imperial court, escorted Lu Yifeng to Beijing, the criminal Lu Yifeng did not wear torture tools, did not ride in a prison car, and the posthouses along the way had to be treated kindly at the level of fifth-rank officials. I admire you."

"Long live!" Ma Ning and Quan Jie all cheered.Li Xu, Dai Liangchen, Sun Yanling and the others turned pale, and in desperation they had no choice but to kowtow to thank them. When they just remembered, Cao Yin said weakly again: "Brother Li, wait a minute, the emperor still has an order for you."

"Your Majesty's order, Li Xu, the third-class bodyguard in front of the imperial court, listened to the decree: When you escort Lu Aiqing to Beijing, you must ensure Lu Aiqing's safety along the way. If there is anything wrong, please come and see me! Your respect."

"What?!" Li Xu's face turned pale at this moment, and he quickly raised his head and asked, "Brother Cao, did you remember the emperor's edict?"

"Brother Li, dare I remember wrongly?" Cao Yin smiled wryly, and reminded again: "Brother Li, you haven't received an order to thank you yet."

"Slave..., take the order to thank you." Li Xu's voice was so weak that he could hardly hear him.The Nanning soldiers who were waiting for the whole festival over there cheered loudly, shouting repeatedly: "Quickly, open the prison cart and remove the instruments of torture." There were also some anxious Nanning soldiers who couldn't wait to smash the prison cart. Li Xu and Dai Liangchen's faces were gloomy, but He didn't dare to speak out to stop him.

"Wait!" At this moment, Sun Yanling suddenly yelled again, "Don't drive the prison car!"

"Sun Junmen, haven't you heard the imperial decree? During Mr. Lu's visit to Beijing, you are not allowed to bring instruments of torture, and you are not allowed to ride in a prison car." Ma Ning asked with a sneer.

"Of course I heard it." Sun Yanling smiled colder than Ma Ning, suddenly pointed to the north, and said with a sneer, "Did you see that? There is dust and smoke over there, it seems that there are cavalry coming again, maybe this matter is not over yet. "

Everyone was stunned, and when they looked back to the north together, they saw dust and smoke billowing on the official road to the north, as if some cavalry were coming this way, and then, another knight in the uniform of the imperial guard appeared In the public eye.Li Xu and Cao Yin were immediately overjoyed, "Haha, it's the imperial guard, Sun Junmen really hit the mark, this matter is not over yet!"

Under the tense gaze of everyone present, the team of cavalry finally rushed to the scene. The very young guard at the head hadn't dismounted yet, and as soon as he saw the situation clearly, he immediately shouted: "The imperial decree is here, Lu Yifeng, Li Xu, Cao Yin and Dai Liangchen kneel to receive them!"

"Suo Mintai?!" Fatty Lu froze for a moment, and suddenly recognized the guard as Suo'etu's younger brother Suo Mintai who had been rescued once by him.Over there, Li Xu and Cao Yin were also surprised and delighted, they went up to meet him and asked in a hurry: "Master Suo, why are you here too? What's the purpose? Do you want to behead Lu Yifeng on the spot?"

"Stop talking nonsense, accept the order!" Suo Mintai's eldest brother is the head of the imperial guards, so naturally he doesn't need to give Cao Yin and Li Xu any good looks.Cao Yin, Li Xu and the others didn't dare to be negligent, they quickly knelt down together, and everyone also knelt down to receive the decree, only to hear Suo Mintai recite the imperial decree immediately:

"Following the fate of the heavens, the emperor's edict said: After investigation, the governor of Guilin, Dai Liangchen, Jiumu Tianen, was humbled, but he didn't want to repay him. He fabricated criminal evidence, framed his colleagues, deceived the king, and slandered Lu Yifeng, the magistrate of Daxing County. The imperial ministers, bewitching the Nanning capital to lead Guoan and its subordinates to betray their lord and rebel against the imperial court! The subordinates of the Yin faction assassinated Lu Yifeng, the magistrate of Daxing County. The crime is obvious and unforgivable! Now the imperial guards Suo Mintai and Li Xu , Cao Yin immediately locked up Dai Liangchen and escorted him to the Beijing Ministry of Internal Affairs for interrogation and conviction! The soldiers and horses he belongs to are under the direct control of Guangxi General Sun Yanling! Lu Yifeng is really innocent and released on the spot! I respect you!"

"What?!" Dai Liangchen couldn't believe his ears, jumped up and shouted loudly: "I fabricated evidence to frame my colleagues? Deceitful? Who said that? I want to confront him, confront him!"

"General Dai, save your energy and call." Suo Mintai said coldly: "Your crime was committed by your master, Kong Sizhen, who killed his relatives righteously and reported it to the emperor himself. Confront Si Gege face to face."

"Abandon the pawns to save the car?!" Dai Liangchen was not stupid, and he understood it all at once—it must be his black-hearted master who saw the situation was not good, so he had to pull out his slave as a scapegoat and a shield for her .Thinking of this, Dai Liangchen raised his head and roared, "I'm wronged! Si Gege, you are so ruthless——!"
