Seeing his menacing look, Yan Liang glanced at him gently, sat down and sneered: "Originally, everyone would be happy if I moved the people out, but Lu Fangxuan insisted on setting up the land deed, and he paid attention to what was legal and reasonable, so it took several days. The relatives of the condemned criminals are afraid that the court will change their minds, and ordinary people are afraid that Wei Chong will come to kill again... There are all kinds of messy rumors, and a policy to calm people's hearts has been messed up! There is no complaint in this matter. Do you still blame the imperial court?"
Qi Zi's eyes widened and he took a big step forward: "Shilang Yan, I advise you not to show off your authority by talking about official matters. It is disrespectful to call Mr. Lu by his first name."
"You don't have to talk about anything else," Yan Liang said without fear, "Did the Master Lu you mentioned create this situation?"
Qi Zi was silent.
"Okay!" Seeing that he lost his voice, Yan Liang immediately applauded, "That means admission. In this case, the imperial court cannot be irresponsible to the people under its rule. Your Yue government must make sacrifices. "
Qi Zi was so angry that he didn't think much and replied directly: "Why don't you just apologize? What's the big deal?"
"Is this true?"
"This...seriously!"
"Okay, apologize," Yan Liang stood up with a wicked smile, "but just apologizing is useless and cannot quell the public's anger; you must make your Yue Duke go to the Emperor to confess his sins and allow His Majesty to deal with it as appropriate. It has to be avoided.”
"Shilang Yan, what you said is too much!" Qi Zi turned around and pointed to the door, "Where does the public anger come from? You were clearly ordered to destroy my Yuefu Tower!"
Yan Liang and his confidants looked at each other and secretly let out a cold breath.
"If you, surnamed Yan, don't give me face, I will tell you clearly!" After saying that, Qi Zi took out the seal from his arms and smashed it on the table, "If you dare to push the envelope, Qi will Let’s send troops now to see if you keep your head down!”
Yan Liang almost didn't believe this nonsense, pushed the seal away, and said with a faint smile: "If I lend you ten courages, you wouldn't do such a stupid thing."
Qi Zi was so aroused that he really wanted to risk his life: "Then just sit tight and wait until my soldiers arrive. Let's see how you react!"
He quickly collected the seal and rushed out of the door.
Yan Liang and his confidant hurriedly followed him out, and saw that Qi Zi had already ridden far away; the 'common people' looked at Yan Liang blankly, and bowed their hands: "Master Yan, we did a good job..."
Yan Liang didn't reply and threw all the matter to his confidants, who yelled at these people: "You don't know, so why don't you get out of here!..."
Yan Liang miscalculated again. Qi Zi walked to his official office, held the seal in his hand, and decided to send troops over to give Liu Dang some color. He had a good temper, but he did not hate the Liu Party very much, so his anger did not disturb his reason. He knew that the Wan Party was still watching him over there, and could not return rashly, so he put this seal in the letter. He called a follower: "I have a few things to ask Mr. Lu. You take this letter and hand it to him. He will understand."
There was no doubt about it, so he just took the letter and left from Donkey Skin Alley.
It was almost noon, and Lu Fangxuan sent someone to deliver the money that Wei Chong had asked for yesterday. As soon as he finished giving the instructions, he turned around and saw Qi Zi's entourage coming up to the hall, asking him questions again and again.
"The commander-in-chief Qi said that he should give this letter to Yue Gong, saying it is urgent." Congsui bent down and handed over the letter.
Lu Fangxuan opened it, took out the letter inside, spread it out, looked at it front and back, frowned, and looked at Congsui doubtfully.
'No words. Lu Fangxuan murmured in his heart, wondering what Qi Zi meant by this, he really couldn't figure it out. He reached for the envelope again, and heard something ringing inside. His eyes brightened, and he hurriedly touched it. There was a square thing in there - he still didn't take it out, but he already knew about it.
"May I ask Master Lu what you need to say to Commander Qi?" Congsui held his hand.
"Say a few words. If you don't tell me, you won't be able to go back and do business. I'll be embarrassed." Lu Fangxuan smiled and said, "I'll take care of everything. When you come back, I'll still serve you wine and meat. In addition, when you come back, It’s best to choose daytime.”
Cong Suidai stood for a moment and then responded: "Young man, I obey."
"The letter is packed, take it back." Congsui took the envelope and scratched his ears when he left, fearing that he had heard the wrong words just now.
Zheng Shiyan just asked Lu Fangxuan: "What's in the letter? I didn't even take it out to read, so I had it sent away."
"Seal." Lu Fangxuan clasped his hands behind his back and smiled confidently.
"What does this mean?"
"When I left, I left this seal to tell him that he could use my name to order troops and generals. Now that he has sent it, he is asking me to send troops."
Zheng Shiyan nodded: "Then... after the matter is completed, we should ask Commander Zheng to rush back at night and wait for the day, so that Wan Dang's eyes and ears can see more clearly."
"Don't be afraid," Lu Fangxuan waved his hand, "You will understand when the time comes."
The Yue government immediately mobilized two hundred sergeants, divided them into two teams, and advanced in an orderly manner on the street. When they met the people along the way, they only said that they were ordered by Duke Lu to leave the city and enter the barracks to guard it. They just had to pass through Donkey Skin Alley along the way.
Yan Liang inquired about the news early, and he clearly believed that this army was coming to him. He hurriedly discussed with his confidants: "It was just a joke that Qi Zi was mentioned before, but Lu Fangxuan really sent troops. Now it is best to communicate with Qi Zi and get along well. But General Liu must I am not willing to accept such a result..."
One of the confidants stood up and admonished: "You are a high-ranking member of the imperial court, how can you be afraid of Qi Zi's intimidating tricks? I think if you grit your teeth and persevere, not even thunder can strike us away!"
"Report! Hundreds of soldiers shouted loudly in front of the gate, saying they wanted to meet the minister!"
As soon as these words came out, the whole house was in an uproar, and the confidant slowly sat down.
Yan Liang nodded helplessly: "Ask their leader to come up."
After a moment, a tall and strong soldier walked into the hall. He only glanced at the so-called confidants of Yan on both sides, and then he fisted hard: "I'm here to see you, Minister Yan!"
"Say something quickly." Yan Liang didn't even look at him.
"Then I've said it, I hope you won't blame me." He swallowed hard and made a dry sound in his throat. "Mr. Lu said, since we delayed the plan and are guilty, please ask the court not to help, please advise. You leave early and don't be tainted with right and wrong. It is a full apology for Commander Qi to take the blame and make meritorious service!"
After hearing this, the confidants stood up and cursed one after another. There was a burst of spittle and chirping in the hall.
Yan Liang's face turned red. He quickly signaled everyone to be quiet and said to the sergeant: "You are unreasonable. Are you trying to threaten me?"
"No need to threaten!" said the soldier, "but there are two hundred brothers standing outside the door, and their opinions seem to be different from yours."
