Number of People

  Chapter 21 Scroll A is a life-saving straw, duty bound

"I'm afraid the soldiers are useless. I don't know what's going on in Shandong, but I know that the Japanese pirates once broke into the Jiaxing area and ransacked the water warehouse. The more than 1,000 soldiers faced less than 300 Japanese pirates." Then he ran away in a hurry, and later the commander of the guard was dealt with by the military law, but some people said that he was decapitated after entering the prison, which shows the situation of this soldier." Jia Yucun shook his head repeatedly, "There are also people in Linqing Brick City. Cao Bing, the outer city is in such a mess, and I haven't seen any movement from them. It's useless."

  Three years ago, he was the magistrate of Jiaxing, and the performance of Cao Jun made him unbearable, and even he was impeached and dismissed from office. Although some officials criticized him for being a corrupt official, it was not without the impact of this incident.

   At that time, I underestimated the weakness of Cao Bing to such a point that I didn't have time to organize the inspection department and the township soldiers to stop it in time, causing a catastrophe, and finally being caught.

   A group of officials and censors took advantage of the opportunity to overthrow themselves. Otherwise, as a top three Jinshi, it would be impossible for them to be removed from office because of some money routine matters.

  Feng Ziying saw that Feng You was expressionless, and guessed that Jia Yucun's words were true, and was a little disappointed, but Xue Jun's face was a little strange, which was noticed by Feng Ziying, "Mr. Xue has something to say?"

"Uh, it's fine if it's an ordinary Cao army. It's the same as what Mr. Jia said, but when I came from Qingjiangpu, I heard that Li Dushuai, the governor of the water transportation, was just leaving for the north from Huai'an. The two of us will go north first. If it's about time, I'm afraid Li Dushuai has already passed Jining at this time." Xue Jun saw that Feng Ziying seemed a little puzzled, so he went further: "Then Li Dushuai has a battalion of relatives with him, which must be an unusual one." Cao Jun is different."

  Feng Ziying finally realized that Xue Jun's intention was to seek help from the Governor of Water Transport.

  Jia Yucun was also a little moved. If he could take this opportunity to win the favor of the Governor of Water Transport, it would be an opportunity.

   Not to mention that the position of the Governor of Water Transport is very hot, according to the practice of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Governor of Water Transport has always been held concurrently by an important member of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

The Metropolitan Procuratorate has always been a place for cabinet ministers to hone their skills. Generally speaking, cabinet ministers who were born in the Imperial Academy will be polished in the six departments, especially the upper three departments, the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Six Departments, before they can be qualified to be shortlisted for the cabinet. The censor of the left and right capitals is one of the best training positions.

  Of course Jia Yucun can only fantasize about this. What kind of person is this Duchayuan Youqiandu Yushi Chief Water Transport?

Feng You hesitated for a moment, "Let's not talk about how we can get out of the city now, if we can go out of the city, how can we meet, where can we see that Li Dushuai? Even if we can see that Li Dushuai Shuai, how can Li Dushuai believe my words?"

  Three questions, Feng You asked the point.

Getting out of the city is the first problem. Now that the entire Linqing City has been taken over by the bandits, if you want to get out of the city, you have to risk being hunted and killed by the bandits. Among this group of people, only Feng You can dare to say yes. In the face of thieves and bandits, they can get away with it, and everyone else can only wait to die.

  The second is that it is not easy to meet Li Dushuai.

   I don’t know where Li Dushuai is now, whether he has passed Jining is only Xue Jun’s estimate, what if Li Dushuai stays in Jining city?

  From Linqing to Jining, and then from Jining to lead troops to Qing Dynasty, how long will it take to go back and forth? I'm afraid it won't be faster than asking for help from Nadu Si.

   It can be said that this idea is only valuable if Dushuai Li passed Jining and arrived at the line of Liaocheng, Dongchang Prefecture.

   Moreover, Li Dushuai is a senior member of the fourth rank, and a second-class Jinshi background. How can ordinary people see it?

  In this group of people, I am afraid that no one is qualified to meet each other. Jia Yucun is a deceitful person who has been dismissed from office, Xue Jun is just a businessman, and Feng You is just a warrior. How can I let the other party meet?

  The third is how to convince the other party, even if you can really meet Li Dushuai, how can you convince the other party to believe in the dangerous situation in Linqing?

   Moreover, the Governor of Water Transportation is only responsible for the safety of water transportation, not local security. As long as the inner city of Linqing is not lost and the three warehouses are not lost, it has nothing to do with him. How can he take the risk?

   Neither Jia Yucun nor Xue Jun thought that Feng You would have such a clear analysis and judgment, and they were greatly surprised.

Although they have seen Feng You's bravery before, but the atmosphere of Yanwu Xiuwen is the same in Dazhou these days. Literati have never looked down on martial arts, so although they were polite on the surface, Jia Yucun in Neri looked down on him. .

   Besides, the other party was just a servant of the Feng family, so he didn't take it seriously, but what he said at the moment was impressive.

  Jia Yucun pondered for a while, and then slowly said: "I have heard that Li Dushuai has a good reputation, he is brave to do things, and he is extremely courageous. If he can meet and explain the whole story, it might not be impossible to win the trust of the other party..."

  Jia Yucun also said it very euphemistically, the chance of success is indeed too small, but if he didn't say that, wouldn't he be sitting here waiting to die?

  Seeing what Jia Yucun said, Xue Jun also stroked his beard and said: "I also heard that Li Dushuai and the inspector Yushi Qiao Yingjia were traveling together. Qiao Yushi is also a person who hates evil as much as an enemy. If..."

  Feng Ziying has also been considering it.

   If you want to escape alone, it is not easy, but it is not impossible. The problem is that there are so many people who are dragging you down, and you really can't abandon it, so this way won't work, so you can only survive.

Waiting for death is not enough, we have to find reinforcements. The soldiers of Linqing Guard were mobilized out of the city, and there was a riot here. According to Feng Ziying's guess, there is something tricky here, so I don't dare to expect the soldiers of the guard to come back within two or three days. Hurry back, and even if you can come back, you may not be able to withstand this gang of gangsters.

  The soldiers stationed in the town are enough, but Dezhou, Jining, and Jinan are too far away, and they need to report to the capital.

  Even if the journey is completely smooth in the middle, the time is very tight, and there is a slight gap, and according to Feng Ziying's understanding of the current big and small regulations, this gap is bound to happen, so no matter what, the time will be too late.

Cao Bing, as I said before, the ordinary Cao Bing is not even as good as the Weisuo Bing, so after all the calculations, I hope that there is only Li Dushuai, who seems to be in charge of the water transport in the right-hand capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate who seems to have happened to go north. And the pro-army he led.

   Life-saving straw.

  Seeing Feng You's expression, Feng Ziying knew that he didn't have much say in this kind of matter, and he couldn't make up his mind.

  However, Feng Ziying has a high opinion of Jia Yucun and Xue Jun. He is worthy of being the third and fourth male protagonists in the book "A Dream of Red Mansions".

  Is this Xue Jun, who can raise intelligent and ingenious characters like Xue Tiao and Xue Baoqin, to some extent still has some genetic problems, and it seems that he is not bad in all aspects.

   Determined to grab this life-saving straw, Feng Ziying's mind gradually became clear.

  Since we are going, the first question now is who will go?

Feng You is undoubtedly the most suitable. With his martial arts skills, he can deal with three or five bandits and get away with it. But his biggest problem is that even if he goes out of the city and sees Li Dushuai, how can he persuade him? It is the biggest problem, even Li Dushuai will not even meet him. It is unimaginable in this era that a fourth-rank military general and the chief follower of a dismissed fourth-rank military general wants to meet a regular fourth-rank civil servant, unless this The two officials had personal relationships, but unfortunately, Feng Tang had nothing to do with this Dushuai Li.

   One is a nobleman, and the other is a civil servant who was born as a second-class Jinshi, which is completely irrelevant.

  Furthermore, Feng Ziying didn't think that Feng You would be able to convince Li Dushuai when he saw him.

Jia Yucun is a good candidate, he is also a Jinshi, he was a magistrate, but he has a lot of problems, one is that he was exempted because of greed, and Li Sancai is a person who values ​​reputation, I am afraid that he will never see him In addition, how to get Jia Yucun out of the city is even more difficult.

   Xue Jun is also a candidate, with good eloquence, but businessmen have always been despised by civil servants, and it is even more difficult to meet Li Dushuai.

   After much calculation, there is no one suitable candidate. It seems that I am the only one who is barely suitable. After all, I am also a Gongsheng of the Imperial College.

"Uncle You, Mr. Jia, Mr. Xue, in my opinion, it may not be helpful to delay the matter any longer. I don't know why these religious bandits have not attacked the inner city for so long, but judging from their whereabouts, I am afraid they will stay here in Linqing City. , so if you want to seek help, you have to go out of the city tonight." Feng Ziying looked around a few people, finally retracted, and said in a deep voice.

   "Then let me go. Brother Keng, you can't hide here. I will try my best to return within three days." Feng You thought for a while and said.

   "No, Uncle You, you're not suitable. Even if you rush out and see that Li Dushuai, you may not be able to win his trust." Feng Ziying shook her head.

"Then Brother Keng means..." Feng You was a little puzzled, and his eyes fell on Jia Yucun and Xue Jun, which shocked the two of them. If you are caught by thieves, you are really in a trap.

Looking for wealth and danger, Jia Yucun was still a little tempted for a moment. If he could climb up to Li Sancai because of this, it would be more reliable than finding the Wang family. He is close to himself who was born as a Jinshi, and as far as he knows, Li Sancai is not the kind of rigid person, and he doesn't care much about money, but Jia Yucun soon knows that this is not feasible.

"Mr. Jia and Mr. Xue are not suitable either. They can't get out of the city like this. Once they are caught,..." Feng Ziying can assert that once these two people are caught by bandits, they may only need a few threats, and they will have to kill themselves. People give it out.

   "Then who will go?" Feng You realized Feng Ziying's thoughts and shook his head again and again, "No, brother Keng, no, you can't go, it's too dangerous..."

"Uncle You, isn't it dangerous to stay here? We can't get out, that's the most dangerous." Feng Ziying said to herself: "I plan to sneak out of the city and let Zuo Liangyu go out with me. I'm familiar with him, and he's smart, I'll hang out with him, and I'm a Gongsheng of the Imperial College, so I think Li Dushuai may be able to hear a thing or two of my words."

   Both Jia Yucun and Xue Jun nodded slightly, and had to admit that Feng Ziying's words made sense.

   Work hard to save manuscripts, code words carefully, and write books with heart! Seek all kinds of support!

This book is an officialdom development essay. The protagonist needs a gradual integration, growth and adaptation process from psychology to social circles to ensure that he can kill the Quartet later, so please be patient, brothers, and the next chapter will speed up the progress .
