Feng Xing

Chapter 140

The cold wind was like a sword, and the sky was so dark that it seemed to collapse in an instant.

Standing at the head of the village, I saw that the village is not very big. Most of them are thatched-roofed adobe houses.It was clearly evening, and there was no cooking smoke, so it was scary and quiet.

Luozhi County climbed down from the carriage and came to King Wei’s horse with a sympathetic tone: “There are not many people in this village. Because of this incident, all the males have been arrested. I’m afraid I can’t live any longer. ."

This is why the village is so quiet?

King Wei didn't say much. He raised his hand and went to the village.

It is probably because the village has just passed through a turmoil. There are almost no people walking on the village roads, and every household is closed. However, if you look closely, you can still find someone peeping behind the window. Most of you want to see what these people are doing.

I chose the only brick house in the village to stop. This is the house of Li Zhengjia.Seeing that it was late, and it seemed to be snowing, I found a place to settle down before I talked.

Luozhi County sent a government office to call someone, and after a while shouted, a middle-aged peasant woman came out of the house.

After I asked, I realized that Lizheng had also been taken away. The old man in the family was lying in bed because of his son's arrest. The children below were all young and could only be supported by women.

The peasant woman called out a boy, not too young, only eight or nine years old.

The boy seemed unwilling to see the stubbornness in the eyes of Luozhi County and those government officials. The middle-aged peasant woman pulled him over and pushed him into the stove.He leaned in his face and said that he was going to cook, and he followed into the stove.

Luo Zhixian smiled, and his eyes flashed: "The rural woman is ignorant and has never seen any big scenes.

With that said, he kicked the bureaucracy around him and asked him to help settle it, so don't neglect the mission.

There are a total of three halls, and there was a room for the elderly, and several servants joined hands to move the elderly out.The old man was so skinny that he was dragged down by Kang.

Everyone frowned.

Wang Cheng stopped talking, and King Wei sneered: "What are you doing?"

Luozhi County ran over and shouted again and again what to do.

Some bureaucrats were aggrieved. They looked at King Wei and went to Luozhi County.

Luo Zhixian smiled stiffly and impatiently said: "Let you do things like this? Don't hurry to move people back!"

Huo Wu walked over and said: "Okay, move the old man in, but just settle down for one night, and order a place for your highness to rest, and the others will just walk around."

With that said, he set his hands down to settle the horse again, which was too much.

Since he entered the house, Wang Cheng felt strange everywhere, and felt that the teachers were pitiful to move the villagers, and that the weather could only make people feel like this.

Isn't it a laydown?

But this is the case in the country. There are kang in the hall, and the stove is burning, and there are black and yellow after the smoke and fire.There is only one oil lamp in the house, and there is a shallow layer of oil.After being ignited, the wick dizzy with green and yellow, and people who don't know think that the house is haunted.

Fortunately, most of Wei's entourages were blood guards and soldiers who had seen the blood. The men were full of yang, and they were not afraid of this evil spirit.

Luozhi County was busy and led the government to go out, saying that it was to find villagers to borrow rice noodles with oil lamps.

So many people have to stutter at night.

King Wei didn't think of the mess in the abandoned house. He entered the room and sat down on the kang. The others were standing in the house or in the doorway. They looked more and more breathless.

Wang Cheng stepped back and thought about entering the stove.

When he went in, the peasant woman was hitting her son, saying that it was not like a fight. Whoever beats someone would cry while beating, and he had no strength to slap.

"This big...auntie, the child is young, even if you make a mistake, you can't make a fight."

Wang Cheng wanted to persuade that the peasant woman saw him coming in at once, hugged his son in his arms, and the mother and the child looked at him cautiously.

Well, he is not a bad guy.

Unable to stay any longer, Wang Cheng could only go to the outer courtyard again.

The guards are busy feeding the horses and finding a place to install the horses. People in and out of the yard are very busy.Huo Wuding was quite leisurely, still containing the grass, standing under the eaves and looking at it.

"I think everyone in this village is weird. I'm afraid it's not easy to ask the adults to try the case." Wang Cheng got closer to speak.

Huo Wu glanced at him, seemingly smiling: "It is not easy, so be alert at night."

Wang Cheng scratched his head, what was the relationship between the trial and the vigilant point at night?

After a while, the bureau that went out to find things came back. I didn't know where they got the food. They even hugged a bag of noodles and carried a chicken and two pickles jars, saying that they only found these things.

Luozhi County was so angry that he had to pretend to laugh and ask if there was any money for the villagers. The people in their government offices could not take things from the people.They waved again and again to let them go and do it, so that everyone can fill their stomachs.

Wang Cheng looked like Luozhi County, and felt like he was choking on his throat, but he was a small bookmaker, and he didn’t take him as the head here, and it was not easy to say anything, but he made up his mind to go back to Ding Mingfu.

This Luozhi County is not a good officer at first glance!

The rice was quickly cooked, and the buns of sorghum noodles were black and yellow.

The chicken was also cooked, and it was specially made for King Wei. The others were steamed buns with pickles.A group of people casually ate some stomach and found a place to settle.

Wang Cheng was arranged to live in a house with several guards.

They are all big men, they don’t like cleanliness very much, and their feet will definitely sweat after a day’s journey, so when the boots are taken off, the whole house is smelly.

The point is that he can't say it yet, he can only bear it.

Kang is too hard to fall asleep, especially several guards snoring, and the snoring can still turn, so that he has gained insight.

Recalling what Huo Wu said to him, Wang Cheng turned over and couldn't sleep anymore, his bladder swelled up uncomfortably. He endured it and decided to go to the cottage.

As soon as the door opened, the cold wind swept in, with a refreshing coolness and fine raindrops.

It didn't snow, but it rained.

Wang Cheng didn't know where the mausoleum was, and he planned to go outside to find a place to solve it. Before taking a few steps, someone in the dark asked him what he was doing.

He was busy identifying himself and said he wanted to go to the latrine.

The man in the dark no longer made a noise, he shivered out of the earth wall by the dim moonlight, just untied his belt, and walked a little aside after thinking about it.

A burst of water sounded, and the solution was much more comfortable.

Wang Cheng was wearing a belt and was about to enter the courtyard. Suddenly, there was a flash of fire not far away, and there seemed to be a lot of footsteps faintly.

He couldn't help but feel excited, and he rushed back to the yard and wanted to call someone.But before he could even exit, he was suddenly restrained from behind and blocked his mouth.

The man who restrained him smirked and patted him on the shoulder.

Wang Cheng looked back and turned out to be Huo Wu.

The courtyard was still silent.

At this moment, the door of the main room suddenly opened, and King Wei stood there wearing a black cloak.

Wang Cheng's eyes widened, Huo Wu made a gesture to him, so he didn't make a noise, and then stepped forward to report in a low voice: "His Royal Highness, our people have arrived long ago, and we will give them a urn to catch the turtle. ."

Everything is chaotic next, Wang Cheng is very chaotic anyway.

Until Luozhi County was tied up by the Wuhua University on the ground of the hall, Wang Cheng saw the fire outside, and the village seemed to be awake at once.There were shouts and killing sounds, horses screaming, and the sound of weapons striking and the harsh screams.

Under the dim light, King Wei sat on the kang, with his legs in one hand, his face sinking like water, but steady like Mount Tai.

Seeing this, Wang Cheng slowly did not panic.

I don't know how long it has passed, and those movements are finally gone, only the tedious footsteps coming and going, lined with the swaying fire, look like silhouettes.

A brawny man wearing a tall armor and a large knife rolled in. The knife was still dripping with blood, which was not visible under the dim light, and only felt a bloody rush.

"My lord, my subordinates are not fortunate."

It turned out that King Wei was not unprepared after seeing that things were different.

Although he didn't know what's inside, but he knew that to prevent the dog from jumping over the wall, he deliberately tried it out, and someone came after him.

Later Luozhi County deliberately took them around a long way, which made Wei King realize that there might be something waiting for him in Yangxingzhai Village.

Maybe the case was different, so Luozhi County used the pretext of dragging them, and actually ordered people to find a supplement, or maybe something else.In any case, the son of Qianjin could not sit down, and King Wei never did anything unsure.

And this time he seems to have only taken 20 guards to travel, but in fact there is a team behind him to protect him, because he knows that in Shanxi, there are many people who want his life.

This team of people is the leader of Shanxi's commander He Longcheng, led by a thousand households under his command.

This time King Wei traveled to Shanxi for disaster relief. Before he left, Emperor Jianping privately gave him a decree to mobilize the garrison in the local health center.He Longcheng was a member of Emperor Jianping, which is why He Longcheng has been living in a simple way since the King of Wei arrived in Shanxi, and he is not willing to blend in with those of Zhou Hui.

Luozhi County deliberately procrastinated. In the middle of Wei Wang's arms, when he was halfway down, he ordered a bodyguard to leave the team in private and went to find support.

Sure enough, in Yangxingzhai Village, everything was strange, but Luozhi County deliberately pretended to be, and Wei Wang watched him acting until someone attacked at night, just inside and outside to make this group of dumplings.

Luozhi County looked pale.

He was tied up and thrown on the ground by Wuhuada. No one had paid attention to him for such a long time. It was the cold winter twelfth lunar month. The weather was so scary that he had long been frozen and stiff.

At that moment the strong man came in, and the blood-stained sword was right in front of him. He was terrified, and he shrank back, but couldn't move.

Under such circumstances, it is natural to ask what to say.

King Wei sent people to arrest Meng Xinyang overnight, and the whole thing was finally revealed.

The so-called grain robbery case was actually a trap. Meng Xinyang responded to the imperial court's recruitment of grain to the border, but turned around and found Luozhi County colluding to create a fake case.

His excuse was that he had already prepared the food. Who knew that when he went out to work, his greedy younger brother was greedy for the high price of food on the market and sold all the food in the village.He got the papers for transporting military food, but the food that he turned to go to the village was sold out, but the court's errands had to be done, otherwise this was the crime of bullying the king.

Luozhi County was already greedy for money and benefited from Meng Xinyang, so he colluded with him to make a fake case.

In order to make the fake case look flawless, many people in Yangxingzhai Village were arrested in the name of grabbing grain.This is also the reason why the family members of the Lizheng family are so unusual, but the women and children and the boy knew that the dog officials harmed them, but they dared not sue, only when these adults were the same.

The loopholes in the grain robbery case were actually left by Meng Xinyang deliberately, in order to invite Qin to go to investigate the case.Chin sent his feet forward, and he turned around to intimidate Luozhi County to follow him. Even if Luozhi County did not follow him, he had other followers, so he didn't elaborate.

The reason why Luozhi County deliberately delayed time on the road was to wait for Meng Xinyang to arrange people to ambush in the village.The place is remote, so it's convenient to do anything at night. When the fire goes on, no traces are left.

In fact, if Meng Xinyang had planned so well, don’t wait until midnight and stay in the middle of the night before people start quietly. With this manpower around King Wei, the reinforcements are not in a hurry, nor is it unsuccessful.

But in the light of day, it was too shocking to do the assassination mission. There are so many villagers in the village, and it is not convenient to exterminate afterwards, so Meng Xinyang still thinks it is better to start at night.

This is probably the so-called guilty guilty conscience, and the so-called organs are too clever, and wronged Qing Qing's life.

There must be other people behind Meng Xinyang. How could a businessman be able to start working against Chincha because of delays in military food? This is a big crime.

It may be that such a person is used, and such a terrible net is laid out, which is done by unusual people.However, Meng Xinyang was also a hard bone, no matter how severe the torture was, he did not resort to torture. Instead, King Wei took advantage of those who assassinated him and found Xinzhou Wei and the Inspection Department.

Meng Xinyang has no one on hand, just relying on some You Yong San to kill the mission, it is undoubtedly a fool.Xinzhou is close to Datong. Datong is one of the nine sides. Under military and political control, Meng Xinyang can only borrow people from the local health center or the border troops.

After King Wei returned to Taiyuan, even Shi Leiting means, He Longcheng also went out to screen the local health station, but just after he found the border garrison, the clue was broken, but the other party abandoned the car and the coach throwed Zhou Hui out, It was a surprise.

Zhou Hui was recruited by Meng Xinyang.

According to what he said, Zhou Hui would retaliate because of personal grievances with King Wei.

He was jealous that King Wei took his power as soon as he arrived, and he embarrassed him again and again. Zhou Hui also knew that King Wei would not let him go after returning to the dynasty. The layout started assassination of King Wei.

As for why Meng Xinyang is involved with Zhou Hui?

It turned out that Meng Xinyang was originally a person from Shanxi. The Emperor Taizu encouraged the opening of Sino-French law. The Shanxi people did not know how much money they earned from the opening of the Sino-French law.

Military food was escorted to the border. On the one hand, the mountains and rivers drove to Marauton. On the other hand, there was too much loss on the road. Therefore, many businessmen simply landed nearby and hired tenants to cultivate.

This Meng family is one of them.

Zhou Hui is the Chief Grain Officer of the Shanxi Grain Food Road. He is dealing with food itself. The Meng family also makes food by relying on food and is one of the largest food merchants in Shanxi.There is no connection between the two, secretly colluding to lower the market price, closing the price to sell at a high price, and selling the official grain with old grain for new grain. The partnership does not know how much money they have earned.

There are other things to pickle, not to elaborate, in short, the two are a raccoon dog.

As such, Zhou Hui started to insult the mission because of personal grievances.

But everyone knows that this is a perfunctory theory, but the reason behind it is simply that someone wants the life of King Wei.

As for who?The left are just those.

But the case can no longer be investigated, and the case can only be closed.

Now that the border crossing is fighting, the civil strife will only delay the military aircraft, and no one can afford it.When we come back to Shanxi, it is still the time to fight disasters. We are mainly focusing on maintaining stability, and we should not have too many messes, otherwise we will be upside down.

Therefore, King Wei can only eat this stupid loss.

But there are two surprises, which are considered fringe benefits.

First, Meng Xinyang committed such a serious crime, and the Meng family naturally wanted to copy the family.This time the copying of the house was made by King Wei's men and he went to supervise himself and copied a large amount of grain from the grain storage of the Meng family.

As for another happy thing-even the Meng family was stolen because of the Thunder's means of sending the Thunder, regardless of the internal situation, many local businessmen are unavoidable.

There are many businessmen who like to make a lot of money in the country, so some people are holding a lot of grain in their hands. The intention is to take the opportunity to earn a high price. Shops are not allowed to sell grain privately without permission from the government.

The grain suddenly became a hot potato, but he dared not let it go.

Now that the Meng family is born, they are even less afraid to let them go outside, fearing that they will be convicted.So when some magistrates came to persuade to donate, thinking about the favorable conditions offered by the court, and thinking that the grains were put on the shelf, they would be worthless. Some people barely offered some.

With these two batches of grain, it is a temporary relief from the shortage of grain in Shanxi.

This case kept King Wei busy until February.On the other side, Qingfeng Road Chang Layue left Beijing and walked on the road for nearly two months. It was not until the day that Long looked up that he arrived in Fuzhou.
