Cao Qiansong was sitting high on the horse with a domineering aura. When he saw Liang Chuan trying to pick a thorn in him, he suddenly felt something bad and wanted to run away as soon as he reined in the horse's head.
Liang Chuan had already seen through his little trick and shouted loudly: "No one is allowed to leave!"
Cao Qiansong and his gang were all soldiers brought out by Weiyuan Tower himself, and they all had their eyes set on top. They traveled thousands of miles to carry food and supplies into the ravines to feed the mosquitoes and infect them with the plague. This was a natural disaster. It was an extremely painful job. Who was this guy with a gold seal on his face? He dared to stop their general from staying?
Of course they don't know Liang Chuan.
These soldiers looked at Liang Chuan with extremely resentful eyes, as if they were the ones who were insulted by Cao Qiansong.
Zuo Qiuhong was even less angry. He was once captured alive by a group of peasants here who were holding dung forks and didn't even have a few pieces of iron on their bodies. This incident had greatly changed his character. He turned out to be a Confucian general and a romantic young man. Now Zuo Qiuhong has an extreme, perverse and violent personality. He will draw a sword if he disagrees with him, and he has also caused a lot of troubles in Weiyuan Tower.
In his opinion, wherever a man loses his face, he must pick it up again!
He wished that these country bumpkins would cause trouble again, so that he could jump on his horse and swing his sword, severely defeat the spirit of these mud-legged people, and regain the dignity he had lost in the mountains and forests!
Zuo Qiuhong pulled out the sword from his waist on the spot and pointed it at Liang Chuan: "Why do you dare to block the army? Believe it or not, I will chop you up right here!"
The nearby mountain people didn't know how they got the news, and they came in waves from the mountains and forests. Their only goal was the court's food and medicinal materials, which were their life-saving straw.
Regarding the imperial court and Liang Chuan, they stood unconditionally on Liang Chuan's side. It was these people from the imperial court who pushed them to the edge of rebellion. Now it is Liang Chuan who saves the lives of the mountain people. The imperial court and they have already accepted donations, and they have not done so for so long. The imperial court has never come to rescue them!
The mountain people moved step by step, and soon countless mountain people, under the flickering of dark torches, surrounded all the officials who were escorting the grain.
Now they can't leave even if they want to!
Liang Chuan looked at Zuo Qiuhong coldly with disdain and contempt on his face and said: "You are reduced to drawing swords on the common people. Who gave you the power and the courage!"
The word "courage" rolled around and the noisy forest was suddenly silenced by this huge roar!
Shocking and enlightening!
This is the voice of the people. When Zuo Qiuhong saw this scene, he took two steps back unconsciously, and the knife in his hand trembled.
"Open your dog eyes and look around. Look at these ordinary people who are struggling on the verge of death. They are your parents. You are the beasts raised by your father and mother. Do you know what the situation of these people is? ?”
Li Chengfu, the leader of Xinghua County, saw that something was wrong. He did not want to be sent to the army by Duan Peng like Wu Liang had been.
At this time, he stood up and said: "Sanlang has something to say. We are all good citizens. Don't cause trouble to the court!"
Liang Chuan was too lazy to pay attention to Li Chengfu. Back then, he helped himself and almost caused trouble. Now he wants to be a good person again?
Is he worthy?
Liang Chuan's words were extremely inciting, and some mountain people were already clamoring for these officers and soldiers to look good.
Liang Chuan suppressed the excitement of the mountain people and said loudly: "Sun Shubo, please open the grain they escorted here and take a look!"
"Yes! Boss!"
Sun Shubo walked to the side of the grain cart, took out the Japanese sword Han Dao from his waist and flashed it, and saw the yellow millet inside falling out!
food! There was a commotion among the people, and some people were so excited that they ran over and picked it up. Who knew what kind of millet it was? It was all bran and husks. How could there be any grain at all?
When Sun Shubo saw this, he was also horrified. The knife slashed several carts of grain one after another. All that was pulled down was grain husks, and there were even sacks filled with sand. The dozens of carts of grain were all fake. !
Tears fell from the eyes of the mountain people when they saw this tragic situation. They held the grain husks and said, "Where is the food? It's all grain husks. The court is treating us like livestock!"
It’s over!
"Go and open those medicinal materials. Today I want to see how dark the hearts of these people are!"
Sun Shubo walked towards another vehicle. A soldier, who had no idea where he got his confidence, stood in front of Sun Shubo. Sun Shubo punched the soldier in the lower abdomen, knocking out all the bile in him, and gave the medicinal materials to him. He opened it and took out the medicine inside. Wherever there was any trace of medicinal materials, it was clear that they were all hay and bark!
Whenever the country encounters a major disaster, these officials in charge of disaster relief are so excited that every pore screams for joy, because every time it is an opportunity for them to make a fortune!
The disaster relief funds allocated by the court are equivalent to their own money, and all of them go into their pockets. Food and materials are discounted, and the goods are exchanged for lower prices. This kind of frivolous thing can make more money than can be spent in several lifetimes in one go. How can they not be excited?
Cao Qiansong and Zuo Qiuhong initially received an order from Zhao Weixian to escort the grain and grass. They were both extremely disdainful at first, but then they thought about it, there was a lot of oil and water here, and how many lives of the mountain people were worth? Wouldn't it be better if all the money was gone? Even the plague would be gone!
The two of them completely lost their humanity. After transporting the grain to the market to sell it and buying some bran to feed the livestock, they decided to come over and fool these mud-legged people on the mountain!
Liang Chuan had seen many people like this before. Cao Qiansong and others put away the food, patted their butts and left. When they turned around and waited for the mountain people to discover something was wrong with the food, they could blame Liang Chuan. After all, Liang Chuan handled all the food. This was a vicious trick. They had enough to eat themselves and let Liang Chuan take the blame.
Liang Chuan exposed this move on the spot, and they had no chance to argue.
Liang Chuan's heart was filled with the flames of anger, and he looked at the officers and soldiers and said, "Let me ask you two, did you buy this food yourself, filling your own pockets, or was it the bran that Zhao Weixian asked you to distribute directly when the food was distributed? bran?"
Cao Qiansong also said angrily: "Bold Liang Chuan, you can call Prince Zhao's name directly?"
Liang Chuan motioned to Liang Shiguang beside him. Liang Chuanguang picked up his bow and arrow in the dark, and shot Cao Qiansong's tassel off with one arrow. In order to avoid the arrow, Cao Qiansong was so embarrassed that he jumped off his horse and shot him from left to right. Only by supporting him can he avoid being humiliated!
Yuchi cheered loudly: "What a handsome archer, brother, I admire you, Yuchi, a hero from the Forbidden Army!"
Qin Jing also clapped his hands and said, "He is really handsome! His shooting skills are unparalleled!"
Liang Shiguang didn't have as big a temper as Sun Shubo, so he smiled and said: "I accept the concession!"
Several people did not leave the embarrassed Cao Qiansong behind at all!
Zuo Qiuhong was horrified. He didn't expect Liang Chuan to dare to ask his men to shoot arrows at them! This is obviously true!
"You dare to shoot the imperial official. It seems that you are really going to rebel!"
A mountain man shouted from somewhere: "So what if you rebelled? This is not the first time. You dog officials are a scourge to the court if you keep them here. Today we will kill you dog officials!"
This sentence frightened Li Chengfu. He hurriedly advised Liang Chuan: "Sanlang, we can't talk nonsense. If the news reaches Bianjing again, our heads will be in danger!"
Liang Chuan tilted his head and said to Li Chengfu: "What did you hear just now? I'm a bit deaf and didn't hear anything. I only saw a few dog officials driving the people to a dead end. Did you have a hand in it?"
Everyone's expressions changed at this moment. Could it be that Liang Chuan wanted to kill everyone here?
Cao Qiansong didn't know whether he was a fool because he was an official or because he had been domineering for a long time. He dared to shout at Liang Chuan: "What you said is already treason. You stinky thief is waiting to be executed by the whole family!"
Li Chengfu shouted Ruo Budu, and cursed in his heart: "Please stop saying a few words. If you continue to speak, our group of people will really be buried in this mountain!"
Liang Chuan called to Sun Shubo: "Get them!"
Not only Sun Shubo, but also Qin Jing and Yuchi swarmed forward. Liang Shiguang was watching with a long bow. Anyone who dared to mess up would be immediately shot. Cao Qiansong's exit just now was an example!
Zuo Qiuhong raised his sword to resist, but before he could withstand Sun Shubo's confrontation, he was kicked to the ground. The mountain people swarmed up and beat and kicked the dog official!
Although the soldiers felt resentful when they saw this scene, they were on other people's territory after all. Although they were fully equipped, they could not withstand the large number of people in the mountains. If they acted randomly at this time, they would probably be beaten into mud by random punches.
Liang Chuan shouted: "Don't beat people to death. That would really turn you into anti-people. We are just doing justice for God. Teach these dog officials a lesson and tie them up later. There is still use for them if they are left behind." !”
Poor Zuo Qiuhong failed to regain his former heroic spirit in this mountain forest, and was beaten severely by the mountain people. His armor and robes were torn to pieces by the mountain people. Cao Qiansong will have a better end. However, he was tied to a tree in embarrassment by the mountain people.
Liang Chuan said to Li Chengfu: "Big Beard, go and tell Duan Zhijun, and then ask Duan Zhijun to send a letter to Quanzhou Mansion immediately to explain the matter to Prince Zhao. Be sure to tell him in detail. If there is any way out, you will be prepared." Let’s take care of the funeral!”
Li Chengfufu glanced at Cao Qiansong, Zuo Qiuhong, and the badly beaten soldiers, and said timidly: "Sanlang, can I go now? Is there anything else you want me to convey?"
Liang Chuan waved his hand and said: "You go, remember what I just said, tell Prince Zhao that it is easy to get people, but you must exchange these two people with real food. I will give it to them whenever the food is delivered." Eat, it depends on whether you can run fast or not!"
