Liaozhai Great Sage

"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.

Chapter 398

"What? Li Liangjin gathered a crowd to rebel in Yangzhou?"

In the lobby of the yamen, Fu Tianchou, who was sitting on the main seat, opened his eyes wide when he heard the news, stood up in shock, and made an unbelievable sound.

"Yes, yes, my lord." Mao Wu knelt on the ground and said panickedly.

He explained clearly what happened in the county town, and he had no choice but to convince Fu Tianchou.

After a brief shock, Fu Tianchou looked at Li Xiuyuan again: "You also know about this?"

"I just found out today." Li Xiuyuan said.

Fu Tianchou said, "Is it true or not?"

He knew that Li Xiuyuan had the ability to control ghosts and gods, he was very well informed, and knew some things that ordinary people didn't know.

Li Xiuyuan said: "If it's fake, how dare I beat the drums to disturb your lord? It will sweep Yangzhou, and within half a year will bring chaos to the whole of Jiangnan, adults should also be very clear that the Jiangnan generation bears six out of ten of the country's taxes, if Jiangnan is in chaos, the world will be in chaos."

Now the imperial court is already corrupt and chaotic. The reason why the country can survive the chaos is because no one started it.

If Li Liangjin took the lead and set off the rebellion first, I am afraid that the whole world will say that turmoil is everywhere.

"[-] people, [-] people..." Fu Tianchou muttered to himself, looking a little dazed.

This amount is really a bit much for him.

How can there be 3 bandits in this dynasty?These 20 people are pitifully less than the 10,000 to [-] troops, but this is just the beginning. If the city is captured and the people are enslaved, the [-] people will soon become [-]+ people, and the consequences will not be great. same.

"My lord, what are you still hesitating about? Why haven't you reported it to the imperial court and asked the imperial court to send troops to quell the chaos?" Li Xiuyuan asked.

At this time, Fu Tianchou said in disbelief, "Peace, quell the chaos? What are you going to use to quell the chaos? Do you know that there is a military camp outside Jinling City with a garrison of 20 troops. It was set up at the founding place of the imperial court to stabilize the Jiangnan area An Ning, but the last time the Hou Mansion was in turmoil, when I inspected the barracks, I found..."

Having said that, he stopped abruptly, realizing that such a major national event cannot be said casually.

Li Xiuyuan is a smart person, he immediately understood what Fu Tianchou meant when he heard the words.

That barracks might have been emptied long ago. Although it claims to have 20 soldiers, in reality it might not even be able to pull out [-] soldiers, otherwise Fu Tianchou wouldn't be so worried.

"My lord, in this way, there is no way to put down the rebellion?" Li Xiuyuan frowned.

Fu Tianchou was silent, not knowing what to say.

After learning about Jinling City and the general situation in Yangzhou, he deeply understood how difficult it is to put down these [-] bandits.

"I will report the truth. If the war is really irretrievable, I will plead guilty to the imperial court." Fu Tianchou said, "You all step back, don't make any noise about this matter, lest the troubled people panic. .”

After finishing speaking, he waved his hand helplessly, signaling Li Xiuyuan and Mao Wu to leave.

Li Xiuyuan did not back down, but strode up to the desk and said, "Master Fu, don't you ignore the people in Yangzhou by doing this? Don't you know how terrible the danger of military disasters is? Reporting to the court is the It will take a month to go back and forth. If it is delayed for one or two days, I am afraid that Yangzhou will be defeated by the rebels. Since Mr. Fu is the Minister of the Ministry of War, why don't you go to the military camp outside the city to transfer troops to quell the chaos? At worst, you have to practice for a while. A ready-to-fight army in case of emergencies."

Fu Tianchou yelled: "Absurd, the transfer of troops in the army has to be done by the imperial decree, not to mention my official, even the generals in the barracks who privately transfer troops will be beheaded, Li Xiuyuan, you want to be implicated by this official to kill the nine clans? "

If the marriage between him and Fu Qingfeng is finalized, Fu Tianchou will be punished by the nine clans, and he will also be punished.

"My lord, why don't you ask for orders while urging the generals in the army to train a battle-ready army, just wait for the imperial decree, and your lord can supervise the army to fight." Li Xiuyuan said.

"I have this idea, why do you need to talk too much, Li Xiuyuan, you step back, and the marriage between you and Qingfeng is postponed, and I will discuss with your father after this matter is over." Fu Tianchou said again.

Hearing this, Li Xiuyuan knew that Fu Tianchou was probably lacking in confidence, and was already preparing for the future. The delay in the marriage was naturally because he was afraid that he would be involved in it.
