Xie Jing gritted his teeth and stamped his feet, ready to fight his way out of the siege.
Even if he dies, he will never surrender, and he will never let himself fall into the hands of someone who is deliberately trying to deal with him and be tortured for life.
At that time, it will only be the adults in the family who suffer.
…
Xie Jing's guess was not wrong.
Di Ying was tripped.
On the way back to the city, I suddenly saw a group of about fifty soldiers approaching.
As soon as the two sides met, the other party bowed his hands to Di Ying on horseback and said, "I am Wu Congkang, the new commander-in-chief of the Luozhou Garrison. I am honored to see Master Di working hard on the case."
Wu Congkang, Wu Conglie's cousin.
But Wu Conglie was homesick for Wu Qiong. Wu Congkang was the fourth son of Wu Chengsi, and both of them were concubines.
Wu Chengsi died, but his sons did not die. They were still active in various parts of the court and were reused and promoted.
Wu Congkang was just a transparent figure before, but with this promotion, he just filled Wu Conglie's vacancy.
Luozhou has always been a place that Your Majesty attaches great importance to. And the Dongdu City to the east of Luozhou is where His Majesty's hidden worries lie. Li Dan is still locked up there.
No, it was Wu Dan whose surname was changed to Wu.
Therefore, the garrison camp in Luozhou is located between Luozhou and Dongdu City, and is responsible for the security of the cities in both states.
Such garrison commanders and officials are of the second rank.
Where is Di Ying? His current job is Sima of Prefecture City, but he is only a fifth rank.
The first level of officialdom crushes people to death.
Although the other party's arrogant attitude made people feel resentful, Di Ying still had to dismount and bow to salute him.
"I met Governor Cong Kang."
"Ho ho ho,"
Wu Congkang seemed to have a sickly white face, slightly raised, and a strange laugh came from his mouth.
"Lord Di, Disma, oh, this governor is responsible for the military defense outside the city. You are responsible for the inside of the city. The internal and external security of Luozhou City is in your and my hands. The new governor of this governor has taken office, but you did not take the initiative to come to visit. You still need this governor to come and look for you, do you know that you are wrong?"
Di Ying's waist lifted slightly.
The other party didn't give in, and he couldn't straighten up. He could only reply like this: "The lower official also serves as the civil servant of the Sima of the state city. You can't get too close to the governor. I hope you can forgive me."
The meaning of the words was to remind Wu Congkang: Sima in the city cannot make friends with the governor outside the city, not to mention that I am also a civil official. Civil and military officials in the same city cannot have contact with each other. This is an unwritten rule.
Wu Congkang couldn't find any fault, so he could only continue to smile strangely and said: "You can shoulder all the civil and military official positions in this city alone. As far as I know, there is no official in the position of chief of the prefectural government." You can sit on the official branch of the Ministry of Education by yourself.
Okay, I won’t bother you, the Governor, after all, that kind of thing is not under my jurisdiction.
It's just that this Governor has just taken office, and I need to discuss military affairs with you. You should go with me to the garrison camp. "
Di Ying straightened up, looked at the darkening night around him, frowned and said: "Captain Cong Kang, I have made it very clear. I am a subordinate, not a general. I have a civilian position." . With the weather like this, there is no reason and no way to go to your camp except during official business hours. Please return to your camp, Commander Cong Kang, and wait until tomorrow..."
"Whoa,"
Wu Congkang directly interrupted Di Ying's words, not only his expression was weird, but his laughter was even weirder and said: "Did I ask you to be freed from death? This is a great disrespect to Shangguan."
After saying that, seeing that Di Ying didn't even look at him, Wu Congkang swung his horsewhip, and the muscles on half of his face seemed to be cramped and said again: "Military defense is the top priority, and the enemy will not tell you apart." Come and attack if you can't get to the Yamen. Let's go, Disma. I am working tirelessly for the safety of Luozhou regardless of morning or evening, but you still just want to be lazy. Be careful that I will accuse you of neglecting your official duties. "
These words and this attitude made the guards' hands touch the handles of their swords.
The other party had only brought fifty people, which was not enough for them to kill him. At this time, they were angry. Although they knew they could not take action, they did not want to see their master being humiliated.
Di Ying was not angry.
Obviously you and the other party are not in the same pot, so it is impossible to insist on the other party treating you with a good attitude;
It was obvious that he was just a low-ranking official of the fifth rank and was nothing in the eyes of the other party. Di Ying would not be proud of his reputation among the people and insist on feeling that he had been wronged.
Not having enough power has always been Di Ying's pet peeve, but His Majesty has never dared to let him have too much power.
He squeezed the palm of his hand, and with a calm attitude and a steady voice, he raised his hand and replied again: "Captain Cong Kang, you insist on forcing me to enter your camp at this time. I have the right to disobey.
Otherwise, the official is worried that if you follow you into the camp, you will be charged with trespassing in the camp.
At that time, the subordinate will be unable to argue.
You knew clearly that Xiaguan would not comply with your nonsense, yet you only brought fifty people here, making it clear that your original intention was just to stop Xiaguan.
May I ask, what does Governor Cong Kang want? I would like to remind you that some things should not be overdone. "
Wu Congkang's expression froze.
People say that officialdom is like a grease field. When people smile, they will slip when they are greased. They never tell the truth and have no sincerity behind their backs.
How could Di Ying expose everything so boldly and wait until tomorrow to talk about it?
However, he had also heard of Di Ying's reputation for being stubborn. If Di Ying was as smooth as a loach, then he should be even more surprised, right?
Wu Congkang's face twisted for a moment, and he opened his face and said: "This governor is trying to prevent you from returning to the city. What will you do?"
Di Ying really couldn't do anything to him.
The other party deliberately only brought so few people, just to stimulate Di Ying's people to take action.
But as long as Di Ying dares to act without permission, the Nine Clan cannot be protected.
This is just like how Wu Congkang doesn't dare to use a knife or a gun openly no matter how much he dislikes Di Ying and no matter how much he wants to kill him.
No one can bear the charge of harming an official of the imperial court.
Di Ying is not very good.
He grinned at the other party, stretched out two fingers and said with a wave: "Nie Bo, lead someone to cut off their retreat."
The twisting muscles on Wu Congkang's face froze for a moment. He pointed his riding crop at Di Ying and said in disbelief: "How dare you!"
Di Ying continued to smile brightly in return. When he saw Nie Bo and others taking action, he put his hands behind his back and said again: "I am Di Ying."
Wu Congkang: "..."
He knew clearly that Di Ying's words meant to tell him: He didn't know whether others dared to kill the imperial court without permission, but Di Ying must have dared.
Today, Wu Congkang only brought fifty people to deliberately humiliate Di Ying. Firstly, he wanted to prevent and delay Di Ying's return to the city; secondly, he hoped to stimulate Di Ying to attack him.
But Wu Congkang is not stupid, and he will not give his life to his hands in vain, so after fifty people, there will be fifty people, and there will be fifty more people.
As long as Di Ying dares to move, the people behind him can surround him and kill Di Ying here.
