I really don't want to be a rebel [infrastructure]

When Liu Yanyou heard that the appeasement envoy was about to arrive in Jiaozhou City, his heart sank.

The so-called appeasement envoys are officials sent by the imperial court to inspect the people in the event of floods, droughts or disasters caused by wars.

The question is how did the imperial court know that there was a rebellion in Jiaozhou?He didn't let anyone notify the court!

Of course, even if he wanted to notify the court, he couldn't do it. After beheading Li Sixian, he thought the matter was settled, but he didn't expect that there were so many people in Li Sixian's party, and then he gathered tens of thousands of soldiers. Concealing the military situation led to the siege of Jiaozhou City.

His people couldn't get out at all, even if they wanted to ask for help, let alone send someone to notify the court.

Liu Yanyou's face sank like water, and he clapped the table and said: "Don't let me know who leaked the news!"

Cheng Jingwei stood aside and sneered in his heart, wanting to hide such a big thing?You really ate the heart of a bear and the guts of a leopard.

But he didn't say it directly, but said: "This matter...maybe it was done by Feng Ziyou. He is dissatisfied with the envoy and intends to replace him. He is afraid that it is not enough to let the rebels go, and he will sue the court. , by the way, clear yourself up."

Cheng Jingwei led Liu Yanyou's thinking into the ditch like this, he thought it was very possible.

He sighed and said, "It doesn't matter, it's my fault that I don't know people well, but now... what should I do?"

Cheng Jingwei immediately bowed and said: "The envoy is still seriously injured, and I'm afraid it will aggravate the injury if you force him to meet the comfort envoy. Why don't you go down to meet the comfort envoy?"

Liu Yanyou was very pleased after hearing this: "It's very good."

Cheng Jingwei added: "However, the lower official status is low, I'm afraid that the comforter will be dissatisfied, so please write a handwritten letter to explain the situation, so that I can explain the situation to the comforter."

Liu Yanyou said smoothly: "If your official position is low, then I will give you a promotion. This time you have the blessing of military exploits. Even if you don't become the Sima of the Dealing State, you can still join the military as a meritorious officer."

Cheng Jingwei lowered his head and said: "The promotion of state government officials requires the approval of the Ministry of Officials, and it is too late in a short time. What's more, Daling and I have known each other since we were young and have supported each other. The subordinate officials just want to follow Daling and protect him."

After hearing this, Liu Yanyou asked with great interest: "Even if I offer you an official promotion, you don't want it."

Cheng Jing smiled and said, "Please forgive me."

After Liu Yanyou heard this, he was envious of Luo Shixing for a moment. Who wouldn't want a subordinate who is loyal to him and has super abilities?

He followed Cheng Jingwei's wishes and wrote a handwritten letter to Cheng Jingwei.

Cheng Jingwei immediately took people to meet the comforter.

The pacifiers sent by the imperial court were not in a good mood. Although they were doing this kind of work, who would like to run to Lingnan if they have nothing to do, especially when he arrived in Lingnan, he had to lie down for two days because of acclimatization.

When he heard that the governor of Jiaozhou only sent a county lieutenant to greet him, the pacifier couldn't help being furious: "This son is so contemptuous of the court!"

He came here on behalf of the imperial court. If you don't come, other officials around you will come, right?Even if you send a county magistrate, it's not impossible. What's the point of sending a county magistrate?

Even so, he still met Cheng Jingwei.

When seeing Cheng Jingwei, the anger in the comforter's heart went away by half.

There's no way, Cheng Jingwei is probably the best-looking county captain he has ever seen, oh, not just the county captain, anyway, this is the prettiest young gentleman of this age that the comforter has ever seen.

What's more, this county lieutenant not only has a good-looking face, but also has a calm demeanor, with a murderous aura on his body, he looks different from an ordinary young man.

Of course, no matter how good-looking Cheng Jingwei is, he can't erase the anger of being underestimated by Liu Yanyou. At most, he can treat Cheng Jingwei a little better.

Cheng Jingwei had long been prepared that the comforter might get angry, but he didn't expect that the comforter would not curse anyone except for his indifferent and angry face.

After seeing the pacifier, he first pleaded guilty, and then handed over Liu Yanyou's handwritten letter.

After the appeasement envoy opened the letter and read it, his expression changed involuntarily: "The other officials of the Jiaozhou government are gone?"

Cheng Jing said with a wry smile: "Feng Ziyou stood still and allowed the rebels to attack the city. The governor only brought a few hundred people to defend the city, so the outer city had to be abandoned. But even so, the inner city was destroyed within two days, and most of the officials died. In the city, Governor Liu escaped with his life only because he was seriously injured, the rebels thought he was dead, and the subordinate officials arrived in time to save the governor, and the others went..."

The pacifier softened his expression slightly and asked, "The assassin you led the troops to rescue?"

Cheng Jingwei replied: "Exactly, before my family's chief minister was worried that the governor's forced increase of taxes would easily arouse people's rebellion. The court should also know that Jiaozhou... just experienced a rebellion before. The previous governor of Jiaozhou abandoned the city and fled. , Jiaozhou has not been stable for two days now, the people here are strong and cannot be suppressed, so I have been paying attention to the movement of the state city, but at that time the governor ordered Feng Ziyou to mobilize troops to defend the state city, the governor thought that the state city could not be more stable, but unexpectedly arrive……"

The comforter snorted coldly: "The ambition of the Feng family's wolf is evident."

He turned his head and said to Cheng Jingwei: "Inspector Liu is still seriously injured?"

Cheng Jingwei replied: "Exactly, he wanted to force himself to meet the pacifier, but he was persuaded to go back by the lower officials. Afraid of worsening his injuries, the lower officials asked the general to come to meet the pacifier. Please don't take offense to the pacifier."

The comforter frowned: "Since he can't even get up, how can he deal with affairs?"

Cheng Jingwei said: "Nowadays, the affairs of the state and city are at a standstill. Except for some urgent ones, the others are naturally to be released. Except for the places occupied by the rebels, the counties are also very stable. At least our Beidai County is safe. .”

The pacifier smiled and said: "Beidai County, well, I have heard of Luo Wujiu's name in Luoyang, forget it, since that's the case, tell me everything you know."

The most important responsibility of the pacifier is to understand the situation first. Now in Jiaozhou, except for Liu Yanyou, I am afraid that only the county captain who was sent to save people in front of him knows more.

Listen to what he said, and then investigate carefully, and things will become clear.

That's what Cheng Jingwei did, otherwise why would he take the initiative to come here?

So he also conclusively confirmed here that Feng Ziyou gloated after the accident and wanted to make meritorious service because of the danger, so he stayed still, and was later killed by the rebels who fled in a hurry.

The appeasement envoy asked the knife and pen officer next to him to record it while listening.

Cheng Jingwei knew that unless the Feng family had definite evidence that he killed Feng Ziyou, the case would never be overturned.

After the narration was finished, Cheng Jingwei couldn't help but said, "Besides, I have a merciless request."

The comforter frowned and said, "Say it."

Cheng Jingwei looked around, leaned over and whispered: "To be honest, Governor Liu once said after the incident that the Queen Mother's birthday just passed, and he didn't want to disturb the Queen Mother's good mood, so he didn't plan to report this matter, but later Jiaozhou City broke the empress dowager. It was too serious. When my family was in a dilemma, I was also worried that we could not compete with the rebels by relying on our own strength. Therefore, I wrote a memorial to the court. After careful investigation, this matter was out of date after all. I don’t know if the comforter can hide it come down?"

As soon as the appeasement officer heard it, he understood that he was worried that Liu Yanyou would be unfavorable to the young county magistrate if he found out.

He asked curiously: "Could it be that Luo Wujiu didn't think of this at the beginning?"

Cheng Jingwei said helplessly: "Why didn't I think of it? We also persuaded it at the beginning, but my family's big order said that if this drags on, it will not be good for the Tang Dynasty and the people. Why do you have to come to Jiaozhou every time? If the chaos in Jiaozhou continues, and the imperial court fails to send troops to suppress it in time, maybe the Mengshe Zhao and Bin Kui Zhao will send troops to occupy it. Wouldn’t he become a sinner of the Tang Dynasty? Even if Liu Yanyou knows that this matter has been exposed, Liu Yanyou will definitely retaliate, but the order still insists on this."

The pacifier is awe-inspiring. Loyalty and fearlessness in the face of danger are the best qualities of human beings. No matter how dark people are, they will be attracted by these two qualities.

He immediately agreed and said, "Don't worry, I won't disclose this matter to Liu Yanyou."

Anyway, he came here originally to investigate the actual situation. Now it seems that the memorial is not talking nonsense, so it doesn't matter who wrote the memorial.

The pacifier not only promised but even started to worry for Luo Shixing: "It's just... so what if Governor Liu doubts Luo Ling?"

This turned into Luo Ling. Cheng Jingwei was amused in his heart, but on the surface he was a little embarrassed and said: "After hearing the news that the pacifier came, Governor Liu also checked it out. At that time, I... lied and said it was Feng Ziyou. Go to the imperial court, and the envoy also believes him."

The pacifier laughed as soon as he heard it: "You are clever."

Anyway, Feng Ziyou is now dead without proof, so they can say whatever they want?

Cheng Jing smiled shyly: "It's also a helpless move."

The appeasement envoy nodded and didn't say anything else. He and Cheng Jingwei had a good chat on the way.

Cheng Jingwei is a person who can reject people thousands of miles away by putting on a cold look when he doesn't want to talk to people, but he wants to make friends with people, and he can also make them feel comfortable physically and mentally.

For this reason, when the appeasement envoy met Liu Yanyou, he cooperated with Cheng Jingwei, almost saying the same thing as him.

Of course, the appeasement envoy also intended to protect Luo Shixing. It would be pitiful for such a capable person who could capture the king of Liuzhao and govern the people to have such a Shangfeng.

In his opinion, Liu Yanyou was headstrong, conceited and incompetent. If he hadn't insisted on going his own way, such a big incident wouldn't have happened in Jiaozhou.

Originally, talking with Cheng Jingwei made him feel better, but when he entered Jiaozhou City and saw the dilapidated city, he was soothed and unhappy.

So when I saw Liu Yanyou, my expression was not so good.

The leader of the rebel army and his henchmen were all executed, and Feng Ziyou was also dead. In fact, there was nothing to investigate.

Therefore, the appeasement envoy didn't plan to stay longer, and was going back to report to the court.

Before he left, Liu Yanyou gave him many treasures and carefully asked, "I don't know how the imperial court will deal with me?"

From the attitude of the appeasement envoy, Liu Yanyou knew that he would definitely not get well, and now he also hoped to give him a chance to make a contribution.

The pacifier said solemnly: "This matter needs to be reported to the three provinces before the final decision can be made."

After speaking, the man flung his sleeves and left, not even asking for anything Liu Yanyou gave him.

Liu Yanyou's heart immediately went cold.

After much deliberation, he finally decided to write a memorial to plead guilty. Since the court knew about it, it was useless for him to hide it.

It's just that Luo Sheng's letter of credence also arrived in Chang'an with his memorials.

Everyone thought that Luosheng's handing over of credentials this time had something to do with Sheng Luopi who lived in Chang'an.

What people didn't expect was that he didn't mention Sheng Luopi at all, but sued Luo Shixing, the county magistrate of Beidai, for raising private soldiers, destroying the friendly relationship between Mengshezhao and Datang, and intending to stand on his own!
