The scumbag general knelt down and begged for mercy

For several days in a row, the heavy rain continued, Xie Sifan frowned, and Xiaoxiang's father-in-law sat aside and didn't know how to comfort him.

"Don't worry too much, it's just been raining heavily for a few days, so there shouldn't be any problems, and we'll be there in a few days." Eunuch Xiaoxiang handed dry food to Xie Sifan's mouth: "Eat something, or we won't be here soon." , your body can't stand it anymore."

Xie Sifan rubbed the center of his brows. Logically speaking, the rainy season should be from April to May. They moved it a month earlier, but they still missed the best time for flood control.

After two days of heavy rain like this, all his plans fell through.

Yuanzong glanced at Eunuch Xiaoxiang and shook his head.

Eunuch Xiaoxiang put the dry food aside and let out a long sigh.

For several days in a row, the heavy rain continued, and there was no intention of stopping at all. Xie Sifan sat in the carriage, feeling extremely bad.

"Young Master Fan, the road ahead is blocked, we have to change the way." The guard opened the curtain and said.

Xie Sifan raised his eyes and remembered to look, only to see that the bridge in front had been washed away by the flood, making it impossible to move on.

Father-in-law Xiaoxiang patted Xie Sifan on the shoulder: "The matter has come to this, we can only make preparations for the next step."

Xie Sifan was silent for a long time, and finally had no other choice but to go back the same way, which was delayed for half a month.

The victims continued to go to He'an City, and the local government ordered the city to be closed to keep the victims out of the city.

Sitting in the carriage, Xie Sifan looked at the victims outside the city, and he was full of self-blame. If he could hurry up, he might be able to reduce the disaster caused by the flood.

"Give me the token of King Li." Yuan Zong stretched out his hand.

Xie Sifan put the token in Yuanzong's hand.

"I'll go back as soon as I go, ma'am, take care of Fanfan." Yuan Zong said as he left the carriage, flew up, and entered the city.

Eunuch Xiaoxiang looked at Xie Sifan, who was full of self-blame, and comforted softly: "It's okay, with your brother here, after all, he was also a prince, so he can handle this kind of thing with ease."

Xie Sifan bit his lower lip, tears fell on the back of Xiaoxiang's father-in-law's hand.

"Why are you still crying?" Eunuch Xiaoxiang hugged Xie Sifan into his arms: "It's not your fault."

Xie Sifan cried: "What am I doing, what can't I do, I still need my brother to help me in the end, I'm a waste, I still want to save people, my brain is not enough at all."

Eunuch Xiaoxiang was very distressed at first, but after hearing Xie Sifan's words, he couldn't help laughing.

Xie Sifan looked up at Eunuch Xiaoxiang with tears in his eyes.

"You have brother to help, others don't, this is your skill." Father-in-law Xiaoxiang patted Xie Sifan on the back as if comforting.

Xie Sifan put his chin on Xiaoxiang's father-in-law's shoulder, and suddenly felt that what he said was very familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere before, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

Yuan Zong entered the city and took Li Wang's token, and transferred many yamen servants from the yamen.

Xie Sifan thought that Yuanzong would open the city gates and then open warehouses to release grain. As a result, Yuanzong did not do that. Instead, he divided the victims into several categories, first feeding the old and weak, women and children in the city, and then settling in the city temporarily. Inside the tent.

Where there is death, immediately order the body to be burned.

Within two days, the situation in the city was basically stable. Those men who were able to help began to go out of the city to help set up tents and distribute food.

Xie Sifan got out of the carriage and joined them. As long as he wanted to settle the victims and ensure that the plague would not break out, everything would be fine when the flood subsided.

But food is limited, Yuan Zong, Eunuch Xiaoxiang, and Xie Sifan personally took people and money, and began to go to counties, towns, and villages that were not affected by the disaster to collect food.

The soles of Xie Sifan's feet were covered with blood blisters, and every step he took was like being pricked by needles, but he couldn't stop.

Leng Hongqi in the capital wanted to order the killing of Leng Li, a rebellious son, immediately. He ordered the closure of the city, just to let those victims fend for themselves. After all, there are so many people, and a large sum of money is needed for disaster relief every year. It was fine in previous years, but this year the treasury Empty, can't afford that much money at all.

Lengli is good, but at this time, he even ordered the opening of a warehouse to release grain to relieve the victims. His intention can be imagined.

The prime minister stood aside without saying a word. He disapproved of the emperor's actions at first, but there was nothing he could do. In previous years, the emperor only paid half of the military salary, and General Yin was responsible for the rest. Naturally, it has to be paid out from the national treasury, but in the previous battle with Fengguo, the treasury was unable to make ends meet, and now even if there is no disaster relief, the treasury is already empty and low.

"I heard that Long Ji followed Leng Li, they are really brave." Leng Hong slapped the table: "They stole General Yin's mansion."

The prime minister lowered his head: "As far as I know, General Yin's mansion is empty at this time. Not long ago, General Yin's bodyguard returned to the general's mansion and dispersed all the servants."

Leng Hong put the memorial on the prime minister's face: "You already knew why you didn't report it, why did you say it until now, you...you..." Leng Hong felt a headache and passed out directly.

The eunuch on the side ran out in a hurry.

The prime minister raised his head and glanced at Leng Hong. This is the emperor they assisted wholeheartedly.

Leng Hong was lying on the bed, kneeling beside the imperial physician.

"Why do you all dislike my headaches, why do I need you?" Leng Hong couldn't stop trembling from the pain.

The imperial doctor kowtowed in fright.

"Drag it, kill it." After Leng Hong finished speaking, he sat up with difficulty: "Order, General Gongxu, go to Qingshui City immediately and bring Leng Li back to the capital. If there is any resistance, attack the city directly." Leng Hong After speaking, he lay down heavily and went back.

The eunuch took the order and hurried out.

According to Xie Sifan's instructions before leaving, Leng Li ordered people to rectify the floods with great fanfare. He personally went to the affected areas to appease the hearts of the people for the first time, and then opened warehouses to release food.

Long Ji is in charge of guarding Qingshui City. He has a premonition that if Leng Hong hears about the flood, he will definitely send troops to Jingshui City to bring Leng Li back to the capital.

As expected, after half a month, General Gong Xu came to Qingshui City with 3 horses.

Long Ji stood on the city wall, looking at General Gong Xu in front of the city with cold eyes.

"General Yin, the Long family has been loyal and good for generations, if you don't want to humiliate your ancestors, open the city gate as soon as possible and let me take the king back to the capital." Gong Xu stretched his neck and shouted loudly.

Long Ji has no expression on his face, and the loyal and good assistant from generation to generation is Ming Jun, and Leng Hong is not a Ming Jun.

Seeing that Long Ji didn't intend to open the city gate, Gong Xu threatened loudly: "If General Yin insists on doing this, don't blame me for not remembering the past."

Long Ji snorted coldly, what kind of relationship does he have with him, a general who only knows how to eat, eats more than anyone else, runs faster than anyone else in wars, always hides at the end, if there is no one in the court, Leng Hong probably will will not send him.

Gong Xu pointed to the city gate and said, "If you don't open the city gate, I will attack the city."

Long Ji took out the dagger from his waist, threw it casually, and directly stabbed the horse under Gong Xu's crotch. The horse ran towards the city gate like crazy, and Gong Xu had no time to react and hit the city gate with the horse.

The corner of Long Ji's mouth turned up, he turned around and jumped off the city wall, that's how he attacked the city, it's really scary...

Gong Xu was knocked unconscious under the city wall, and the soldiers behind hurriedly ran over and carried Gong Xu down.

For several days, Gong Xu yelled and cursed outside the city until Leng Li returned to the city.

Leng Li looked at Long Ji: "If you resist, you are openly rebelling."

Long Ji blew on the tea in his cup, and said indifferently: "He has limited food and grass, let's wait and see what happens."

"However, we can resend food and grass, we can't afford it." Leng Li frowned.

Long Ji thought to himself that like a father like a son, he would still be the emperor. If Xie Sifan hadn't said he could do it, he really didn't want to stay here with him.

"Floods are everywhere now, and the emperor's use of food and grass here will definitely arouse public resentment. Before we rebel, they will rebel. We just need to be a correct guide." After speaking, Long Ji stood up and walked towards the backyard of Li Wangfu. Go: "I'll take a nap, don't call me if you have nothing to do."

After Long Ji left, Leng Li fell into deep thought. If he became the emperor and had a general like Long Ji, he would have nothing to worry about. Fear, fear, he is unwilling to accept the military talisman.

Long Ji lay on the bed, looking at the military book in his hand, all he could think about was Xie Sifan, they had been separated for more than a month, and he didn't know when he would come back.

Xie Sifan, far away in the south of the Yangtze River, was too busy to touch the ground. Although the victims had settled down and no plague broke out, the reconstruction became a troublesome matter. The tired Xie Sifan almost fell into bed and fell asleep. , get up and continue.

Eunuch Xiaoxiang and Yuanzong were lying on the bed, whispering to each other.

"Fanfan can't go on like this. Giving birth would hurt his health. If he continues like this, he will get tired sooner or later." Eunuch Xiaoxiang whispered in Yuanzong's arms.

Yuan Zong nodded: "What Ma'am said is, we have to find a way."

Little Xiang's father-in-law's ears were red, and he didn't know when it started. Yuanzong talked about one wife, which made him ashamed to death, especially when there were many people, he was even more embarrassed.

"You should call me Xiaoxiang." Eunuch Xiaoxiang said embarrassedly.

Yuanzong rubbed Eunuch Xiaoxiang's ears, he is his Princess Qi, what's wrong with calling Madam.

"You are in charge of watching Fanfan, let him lie on the bed and rest for a few days." After Yuan Zong finished speaking, he let go of his hand and said slowly: "You are already mine, and you will have to get used to it sooner or later."

Eunuch Xiaoxiang nodded slightly: "Then tomorrow/You stay and watch Fanfan, I'm used to it and I don't feel tired."

Yuan Zong directly kissed Xiaoxiang's father-in-law on the lips, before was before, now is now, Fanfan felt sorry for them when they were tired, but his wife felt sorry for her when she was tired too.

Eunuch Xiaoxiang closed his eyes.

"Not now, I have something to do tomorrow, go to bed first." Yuan Zong tugged on the quilt with a smile.

Xiaoxiang's father-in-law got into the bed directly in shame.

Yuan Zong slowly fell asleep with his arms around Eunuch Xiaoxiang.

Before dawn, Xie Sifan sat up, patted his face, then put on his shoes and went out. He wanted to take advantage of the fact that it was not raining for a while, and divert the river to the downstream, lest it would rain heavily later, and similar events would occur. matter.

After Xiaoxiang woke up, he found that Xie Sifan had left.

Yuan Zong shook his head helplessly: "Then you have a good rest for a day, don't go out, lie on the bed and wait for me to come back, you know."

Eunuch Xiaoxiang held Yuanzong's arm, and he didn't want to be separated from him for a moment.

"Hey, don't be too tired, or I will feel bad." Yuanzong picked up Eunuch Xiaoxiang and put him back on the bed: "Wait for me to come back."

Eunuch Xiaoxiang nodded, lying on the bed, his heart was beating very fast, he was so useless, obviously he had been together for so long, but he was still shy and his heart beat fast.

When Yuan Zong found Xie Sifan, he saw that he was blocking the water with a group of people.

"Fanfan, take a break." Yuan Zong walked over.

Xie Sifan wiped the sweat from his forehead: "Hurry up, I don't know when it will rain again, block this place, and then lead the water to the downstream. The downstream villages, I have already settled down, and I have given money from house to house. , When the time comes, we will dig a big hole downstream, and then slowly lead the water to the farmer's field."

Yuan Zong looked at Xie Sifan in surprise.

Xie Sifan didn't dare to stop for a moment, he didn't want to see someone die or be homeless.

Yuan Zong took people to the downstream villages, and according to what Xie Sifan said, he began to dig big pits, store water, and divert water. Anyway, crops will be planted soon, just right.

For two consecutive months, Xie Sifan couldn't bear it anymore and fainted on the way to the downstream. The villagers passing by found him and carried him back to the city.

Xie Sifan lost more than a circle of weight, his cheeks were sunken and darkened more than a little, and Eunuch Xiaoxiang was very distressed as he sat aside.

Yuan Zong rushed back when he heard the news, saw Xie Sifan had taken the medicine, and looked at him with a sick face.

"Don't worry, everything is going on as you said, and it hasn't been raining heavily these days, don't worry." Yuan Zong patted Xie Sifan's head: "It's impossible to work hard like this, the children are still waiting for you to go back, don't worry about it." Besides, for the sake of the children, you can't go on like this."

Xie Sifan nodded.

In the next few days, it began to rain heavily, with lightning and thunder. Xie Sifan lay on the bed with his heart in his throat. After all, he didn't study civil engineering, and he didn't know much about water control, and he didn't know how to do it. Ok.

Eunuch Xiaoxiang and Yuan Zong were by the bed, afraid that he would run out.

At night, a knock on the door woke Xie Sifan from his sleep.

"What's the matter, didn't the flood be blocked?" Xie Sifan hurriedly sat up.

Yuan Zong frowned and opened the door. There was a big man standing outside the door, holding a pale child in his arms: "Please, Mr. Fan, save my son."

Xie Sifan ran over immediately without putting on his shoes: "What's going on." Then he took the child from the big man's arms.

"This kid loves to play. There have been a lot of fish being washed out in the flood these few days. He went to catch the fish, but fell into the pit and almost drowned." The big man glanced at Xie Sifan after finishing speaking: " It’s just those big pits downstream, if you don’t pay attention, you will fall into it.”

Xie Sifan didn't care so much, he saved the child first.

After some rescue, the child spat out a mouthful of water, Xie Sifan heaved a sigh of relief and sat aside.

"The child is fine, wait for Yuxiao..."

Before Xie Sifan finished speaking, a dagger was directly inserted into Xie Sifan's waist.

Yuanzong and Eunuch Xiaoxiang didn't have time to react, the big man opened the door and ran out.

The child lying on the bed cried loudly with fear on his face: "Please forgive me, please forgive me, if I don't do this, my grandpa and grandma will die, please forgive me."

The child got up, knelt on the bed, and kept kowtow.

Eunuch Xiaoxiang supported Xie Sifan, Xie Sifan grinned in pain.

Yuan Zong directly grabbed the child's throat.

"Brother, let him go, he is just a child." Xie Sifan leaned on Xiaoxiang's father-in-law's shoulder: "I knew before I came that things would not go so smoothly."

At this moment, a large group of villagers surrounded the house where Xie Sifan lived.

"Come out, murderer, come out."

Yuan Zong opened the door and saw a group of villagers holding various things in their hands, shouting and cursing loudly.

The child got down on the bed at this moment: "Save me, they are going to kill me, save me."

A group of villagers became even more angry when they heard this.

Yuan Zong bit his back teeth angrily, and said viciously: "What do you mean by that?"

"You ruined our home and dug so many holes. The children of the Li family, the Wang family, and the Feng family all fell into it and drowned. In the name of helping us, you are actually a group of rebels. Our food, catch us and send us to the army."

A group of men said angrily.

Xie Sifan leaned on Xiaoxiang's father-in-law. He didn't believe that the child would catch fish when it was raining heavily. Someone must have interfered with it, disrupting his plan and charging King Li with rebellion. Can't get angry.

At this moment, someone came out of the government, and they wanted to put Xie Sifan, Yuan Zong and Xiaoxiang in prison, because the king rebelled, and they became rebels.

In an instant, all Xie Sifan's efforts were in vain.

Xie Sifan glanced at Eunuch Xiaoxiang: "Brother Xiang, I didn't ask you anything, now, I beg you, take my brother away, only if you leave, we will not be wiped out, I am waiting for you to come help me."

Eunuch Xiaoxiang shook his head, there was no way they would leave him.

"If I go with you, then all we have done before is to make wedding dresses for others, don't worry, I will be fine, you forget, I am a doctor, this injury will not kill me , I know the number." Xie Sifan pushed Xiaoxiang's father-in-law away: "Hurry up, or you won't be able to leave."

Eunuch Xiaoxiang shook his head: "No matter what you say, we will never abandon you."

"Even if I leave here and the mission fails, I will still die." Xie Sifan's eyes were flushed: "Brother Xiang, please."

Eunuch Xiaoxiang gritted his teeth, walked to the door, dragged Yuan Zong to the ground, and left directly.

Yuan Zong said angrily: "What are you doing, are you crazy?"

"Fanfan begged me to do this, we have to find a way to save him, and we can't ruin King Li's reputation." Eunuch Xiaoxiang dragged Yuanzong away.

Xie Sifan lay on the bed, the pain from the wound was nothing compared to his heartache.

The leading yamen servant gritted his teeth and walked up to Xie Sifan, and hugged him up: "Young Master Fan, I'm sorry, I'm following orders."

The corners of Xie Sifan's mouth raised slightly, at least, some people still remembered him well.

The villagers went from being furious at the beginning to being silent later.

After Xie Sifan left, a man threw down the hoe in his hand: "What's the matter? It's Mr. Fan who saved us, but we want to turn against each other."

Another man patted the man on the shoulder: "There is no way, the imperial court ordered that if you don't obey, the nine clans will be implicated, and we will all be old and young."

The crowd fell silent.

Xie Sifan was wounded and imprisoned.

Eunuch Xiaoxiang lowered his head, Yuanzong looked angry.

"Are you stupid if he is stupid? He is just talking to you and wants us to live. Now it is easy for us to get out. If we want to go in, it depends on the two of us." Yuan Zong said angrily.

Xiaoxiang's father-in-law was very confused at the time, and he didn't think about it that much at all. He only thought about the big deal and went back to save people. He never thought about it, and he couldn't go back.

Yuan Zong pointed at Mr. Xiaoxiang and was so angry that he couldn't speak.

"I will rescue people, I will definitely be able to." Eunuch Xiaoxiang has ten levels of confidence in his martial arts.

Yuan Zong was at a loss for words for a while, and now it is useless to talk about him.

"Don't be impulsive, I will find a way." Yuan Zong leaned against the big tree.

Eunuch Xiaoxiang kept his head down.

Yuanzong stretched out his hand and pulled Eunuch Xiaoxiang into his arms: "I'm sorry, my tone just now was not good."

"It's my fault, I shouldn't have left behind Fanfan." The father-in-law Xiaoxiang who reacted was very regretful.

Yuan Zong touched Eunuch Xiaoxiang's face.

Xie Sifan, who was lying in the prison, was interrogated that night.

"I heard that you used to be General Yin's wife. I admire General Yin very much. As long as you tell Li Wang's plan, the government will let you go." Liu Zhifu sat on the chair and looked at Xie Sifan coldly.

Xie Sifan laughed suddenly, who is he lying to? A three-year-old child probably wouldn't believe it. Since he knew that King Li was rebelling, how could he not know that Long Ji was by his side? If he really admired Long Ji, he wouldn't will catch him.

Liu Zhifu gave the yamen servant beside him a look.

The yamen servant walked up to Xie Sifan with a bowl of chili water.

"Don't ask for trouble, it's too late to say it now." Prefect Liu narrowed his eyes: "I have plenty of ways to get you to speak."

"If he wants to rebel, it has nothing to do with me. I came here before he rebelled, and he rebelled after I came. You are holding on to me now. Shouldn't you ask King Li face to face? He must know better than me. What's the use of embarrassing me."

"Sentence." Liu Zhifu slapped the armrest of the chair and said viciously.

The yamen servant grabbed Xie Sifan's hair and poured a bowl of chili water on Xie Sifan's wound.

Xie Sifan yelled out in pain, he was most afraid of pain.

"Say it or not." Liu Zhifu stood up and said.

Xie Sifan's wound radiated burning pain, the pain was piercing, the pain was piercing.

"I, I don't, I don't know, what to say." Xie Sifan bit his lower lip tightly.

The yamen servant at the side turned his head and refused to look at it.

"Slap him twenty lashes. If he still refuses to speak up, add another twenty until he can't take it anymore." Liu Zhifu shook his sleeves and left.

Xie Sifan rolled on the ground in pain, and passed out not long after.

In the cell, there were three yamen servants, two of whom were really reluctant to do anything.

Only the yamen servant who just poured the chili water said coldly: "You two don't want your family to survive. If you don't do anything, I can go back and tell my uncle."

The two yamen servants clenched their hands tightly into fists, which made them choose and how to deal with them.
