Seeing that yuandezhi had no action response, magistrate fan looked at him and sighed. His voice was slightly hoarse. He said to himself: "I'd rather change with the commander... He guarded the city and I guarded the outside of the city... In this way, even if he died in the war or was captured by the Xu army, he can still protect the family..."
So... Can you understand me?
After all, there are yamen soldiers, and it's hard for him to be too straightforward.
"..." Yuan Dezhi's strongly suggestive eyes to magistrate fan and their inner eyes seemed to contain some kind of desire. After he was stunned, he was suddenly surprised.
I see
I see!
The yuan family and the Xu family are inseparable. He doesn't mind being a villain to achieve the best of both worlds - he can not only let the Xu family army enter the city without fighting, but also preserve the loyalty of his friends, so as to avoid the suffering of the fan family.
But... Things came suddenly. He was unprepared!
He's empty handed. Can't he just be so bare handed?
Although he has been doing business all year round, he has also learned some simple Kung Fu to strengthen his body, but if he tries to hijack people by holding each other's throat, I'm afraid it's more or less unconvincing
After all, I'm not a master
While yuan Dezhi was thinking, he only heard governor fan speak again: "tomorrow is the day when Xu's army will attack the city. At that time, fan is afraid that he can only show his loyalty by death. I hope he can reduce some casualties..."
While talking, after a helpless sigh, he was quite relieved: "so, I'm afraid this is the last time I sit with my virtuous brother for tea... Virtuous brother, you might as well try this crisp pear, which was just picked in the backyard today."
Yuan Dezhi also sighed.
A good friend even said his loyalty with death. If he is still in the mood to eat pears, is he still human?
But I subconsciously looked at the fruit plate on the small table on the elbow.
In the white porcelain fruit plate, the peeled and cut into small pieces of pear meat looks crystal and juicy.
Beside the fruit tray, there is a fruit knife with a blue handle——
Seeing this fruit knife, yuandezhi was stunned.
If you remember correctly, he gave this fruit knife to magistrate fan last year. The other party cherished it very much and seldom took it out for use
This Dao is not only with a single handle, but also has a beautiful scabbard shape, and the blade is particularly sharp.
"Hidden taste sweet is not sweet." magistrate fan urged.
Yuan Dezhi nodded, picked up the fruit fork, tied it up and sent it to the entrance.
"Sweet and crisp..."
In recognition, he put down the fruit fork and put the fruit knife into his sleeve.
The other hand took a cup of tea, took two bites, and then said, "brother fan, don't be too pessimistic. In my opinion, there may not be a change in tomorrow..."
Seeing that he seemed to be planning strategies, magistrate fan's eyes moved and asked tentatively, "I don't know what's your opinion?"
"Brother fan, would you like to hear it?"
"Naturally!" magistrate fan quickly raised his hand and motioned, "please speak clearly."
Yuan Dezhi hesitated to look around, so he got up and took two steps to the governor fan: "please listen to brother fan."
Magistrate fan leaned slightly and approached him.
"..." Yuan Dezhi bent down.
The next moment, the fruit knife hidden in the sleeve crossed the neck of magistrate fan.
Magistrate fan's face was startled and turned white.
The blade is too sharp. He is really afraid!
After hesitating for a moment, he shook his hand and fell the tea lamp in his hand. He had no experience in acting for the first time. It seems unreasonable not to shake his hand in this case.
The voice also trembled: "you... What are you going to do!"
The two yamen servants were surprised to see the sudden change.
"Let go, my Lord!"
At a special moment, the Yamen servants were equipped with long knives around their waists, even if they pulled them out.
"Don't act rashly, you two." Yuan Dezhi sneered and said, "a businessman in Yuan has no weight under his hand. If you accidentally hurt brother fan, it's bad."
Magistrate fan was surprised and secretly satisfied.
Yes, yes, that's the smell!
He already has the feeling of being kidnapped!
The virtuous younger brother brought the whole play alive in an instant. It can be seen how important it is to have a good partner!
"... I thought I was involved in the Xu family army, so I detained you in the government office. I really wronged you. Now it seems that I mistook you! You are in collusion with the Xu family anti thief!" magistrate fan was distressed and angry.
"Who makes you so stubborn? Yuan had to do this!" Yuan Dezhi said, and the blade was almost close to the throat of magistrate fan.
"You... What are you going to do?!"
"Mr. Yuan has no intention of hurting your life. As long as you are willing to cooperate, open the city gate and welcome the Xu family army into the city, Mr. Yuan promises not to hurt your life -"
"Don't think about it! I won't agree!"
"You can't help it, sir!" Yuan Dezhi forced him to get up from his chair, looked at the more than ten yamen servicemen who surrounded him, and said in a fixed voice, "get out of the way, otherwise I won't blame the knife in my hand for not having eyes!"
"..." after frowning and exchanging eyes, the Yamen soldiers made way.
The magistrate must not have an accident, otherwise no one will take charge of the overall situation in Linyuan city!
Well, that's what they think, not other thoughts
Yuan Dezhi took magistrate fan out of the yamen gate, and a group of Yamen servants followed him with knives.
Outside the government office, the people gathered have not dispersed yet, and there are more and more potential.
After all, the Xu family army will attack the city tomorrow. The magistrate's style of toasting and not drinking is really disturbing.
At this time, seeing that magistrate fan was kidnapped by Yuan Dezhi, there was a shock and riot when the crowd was neutral.
Seeing so many people here, magistrate fan shouted angrily: "if you want to kill, kill! If I die, I can't betray your majesty and Daqing!"
He looks like a peerless loyal minister who would rather die than surrender.
The crowd became noisy and chaotic, and the sound of discussion was deafening.
"What is shopkeeper yuan doing..."
"The magistrate is a good official..."
"Yes, don't really hurt the magistrate!"
"Isn't it to let Xu's army into the city?"
“……”
"Master!" several figures crowded forward from the crowd. They were the people of Yuanshi's firm.
Yuan Dezhi immediately confessed, "prepare a carriage! Call Lao Liang!"
After knowing the origin of Lao Liang, he also knew that the other party was not weak. At this time, although it was a play, it was also a guarantee to bring him around.
The carriage arrived soon.
Yuan Dezhi escorts magistrate fan to the car. Magistrate fan tries to struggle, but it doesn't help.
"Come on, catch up!"
A group of Yamen soldiers immediately rode to keep up.
"Where does shopkeeper yuan take the magistrate?"
"Go, go and have a look..."
Outside the car, the sound of horses' hoofs behind him was shaking, and the atmosphere was anxious. Inside the car, governor fan, who was released, breathed a sigh - it was a success in the first half.
Just to ensure the efficiency and the connection and fluency of the whole play, should someone secretly inform the Xujia military camp?
This is also a problem
"Ho! Ho! Ho!"
At this time, several loud sounds of fireworks burst out one after another over the roof.
Magistrate fan looked at his friend in surprise: "isn't this... The secret signal between the virtuous younger brother and Xu Jiajun?"
It's agreed that there is no collusion!
Well... This time he was kidnapped, shouldn't it be a good friend's trick, a fake?!
Yuan Dezhi smiled and explained, "it's really a secret signal, but this time, there is really no connection between yuan family and Xu family army. Taking fireworks as the signal is just an old agreement between yuan family and Xu family over the years."
Even without this so-called agreement, Xu Jiajun will certainly make people come to see if fireworks are lit in the city at such a juncture.
After all, tomorrow is going to be attacked. At this time, fireworks are suddenly set off. Isn't that sick?
What he said has no connection with Xu Jiajun and is not a lie.
He didn't know what happened to the Xu family in advance.
But the last time I went to the capital, the girl told him alone that if I had trouble coming to the yen house, I must send a letter to the Xu house in time——
He had a hunch at that time, but he was not sure.
Now I think it should be today
Xu Jiajun chose to occupy Linyuan first. In his mind, he may not have no thought of keeping the yuan family
Yuan family and Xu family supported each other many years ago. Before his former boss died, he chose to disperse most of his industry and business, and took words for him to hide it. He told the yuan family that they should not get too close to the Xu family. It was also well intentioned to think about it.
Now it seems that my uncle's intention has not been let down.
Listening to this explanation, magistrate fan nodded in a mixed mood.
Why doesn't he have any relatives like the town government?
The carriage flew all the way to the city gate.
When Yuan Dezhi and Lao Liang escorted magistrate fan's house to the city tower, there was indeed a little light in the night. With the sound of horses' hoofs, they poured in from the direction of Xu Jiajun's barracks.
Just listening to the sound of horses' hoofs, we can see that it is by no means a small team of people who came to see the situation.
The leader is a pair of young faces.
They sat on the horse in armour, with Qin Wu on one side.
The army pressed under the city, and countless torches were stirred by the night wind. The light of the fire reflected the soldiers, horses, cold armor and long guns. The shadows cast on the city wall were surging, such as a giant beast trying to open its mouth, as if it would swallow the city into its belly at the next moment.
Xu Mingyi and Wu Chiu both looked above the tower.
Reflected by the torch, Xu Mingyi saw a familiar face.
It's a cousin of the yuan family——
Take another look at the man under control. Although she has not seen him, she can guess his identity by looking at his official robe.
"It's the prefect of Linyuan, Fan Ying," said Wu Chiu.
Xu Mingyi nodded.
My cousin did what she and Wu Chiu yuan were going to do.
But... She looked at the situation. Why didn't she think it was the work of her cousin alone?
Although there are many people around my cousin, he is not vigilant enough. If there are good archers in the dark, it should not be a problem to save magistrate fan.
We can't say that magistrate fan was kidnapped... Is it actually popular?
"Beware of deception." Wu Chiu also felt something strange and warned loudly.
This situation, coupled with their eyes in the city, even if the other side is not likely to cheat, but also needs to be very careful.
Qin Wu had ordered people to put up shields.
"Magistrate fan has thought about it!" the people on the upper floor of Qin wuchong asked loudly.
"I... uh huh..." as soon as magistrate fan spoke, Lao Liang tightly covered his mouth.
He doesn't know that the other party is acting. He only knows that it's better to shut up when the other party refuses to cooperate.
"Brother fan, this is it. You'd better order to open the gate!" Yuan Dezhi advised, "no matter how stubborn you are, you can't change the result. Why insist on a mantis to stop the car!"
Magistrate fan couldn't speak, but he still shook his head firmly.
Yuan Dezhi didn't want to say any more. He shouted to the soldiers guarding the city: "open the city gate! Otherwise, he will kill Fan Ying!"
The fruit knife across the neck of magistrate fan has been replaced with a long knife, wrapped in cold light in the night.
When the army was in front of us, the magistrate was kidnapped again. There was no morale among the soldiers guarding the city.
Hearing this request, they were all wavering.
Everyone knew that they had no chance of winning the battle against ShangXu family army——
Of course, as a city guard, if you want to fight hard, there is no precedent to fight to the end.
But it must be transformed from grief and anger into strength - there is no such atmosphere now!
Xu Jiajun said that entering the city would not hurt any plants and trees. Ken hasn't attacked for so many days. This is his real sincerity. Anyone can see it in his eyes!
They neither rob nor kill, nor are they alien.
But today's imperial court is unpopular, and Daqing has only built a dynasty for a generation. When talking about salvation heroes, many people think of the Duke of Zhenguo and Xu Jiajun. Even if they are younger, they don't have no feelings for this - the Duke of Zhenguo has been hung at home since childhood. It can prevent thieves and exorcise evil spirits and stop children from crying. It can be called one image, multi-purpose, and very versatile!
In this way, they really can't get up with grief and anger. This desperate mood can't be mobilized at all!
Therefore, the current situation is very delicate
Just at this time, a young voice sounded: "my Lord, if you really have an accident, Linyuan city can't hold it!"
Magistrate fan recognized the voice -- it was Xiao Wang, his confidant.
"My Lord is loyal and upright. I have a clear reputation for half my life. If I can't let you loose this mouth, Xiao Wang will be the villain!" the voice was firm and powerful. With the strength of self sacrifice, he said in a condensed voice: "the magistrate's token is here. Open the city gate!"
Magistrate fan's eyebrows jumped when he heard this.
Be a villain and be a villain. What's the matter with this boy telling his name in public!
Don't you really want to take the opportunity to make a good impression in front of Xu Jiajun?
Good guy, ordinary people are still hesitant to open the gate, but the smart people have paved the back road!
It doesn't make sense not to be a big thing in the future!
Several soldiers guarding the city gate were obviously shaken.
Everyone knows that compared with a magistrate token, the real living magistrate is on the city tower. It is obvious which one to listen to——
But the current situation, frankly, just needs a push.
One of the soldiers held the chain.
At this time, there was a stubborn voice on the tower: "don't open! Don't let these disorderly officials and thieves into the city!"
This is a Bowman.
"Whew, whew, whew!"
While the man was talking, he pulled the crossbow and several cold arrows flew out.
Magistrate fan's eyes widened with awe - there are people who can't think of anything!
The so-called loyalty to the imperial court, a cavity of loyalty, but also at different times. At this time, we have to go against the trend. Isn't that harmful to others and ourselves!
If Xu Jiajun is angered and the situation is disrupted, his efforts tonight will be in vain!
