end song

Chapter 22
During the scuffle, Lu Fengtai saw through the cell door that Nie Zhongyou was striding towards this side with a head in his hands, looking majestic.

His life and death comrades in the past cut off his current boss... This surprised him quite a bit.

Lu Fengtai knew that Nie Zhongyou was ruthless, but he was never so ruthless, he never expected to make such a move today.

At this moment, what he thought was that this was too much trouble, what if the Luzhou army outside the city mutinied...

Then, there was a loud roar.

"I'm here too!"

Outside the prison, Liu Jinsuo and Lin Zi led more than a dozen imperial guards to rush up, and they chopped down when they encountered the guards of the Zhang family.Liu Jinsuo yelled, and the long spear shot left and right, it was really vigorous.

Nie Zhongyou raised He Ding's head high and shouted: "Nie Zhongyou, the Marquis of Sidu Yu in front of the Palace of the Forbidden Army, has been ordered to investigate carefully and take down these enemy bandits!"

But the Luzhou army in the courtyard surrounded Nie Zhongyou, looked at each other in blank dismay, neither obeying Nie Zhongyou's orders nor daring to make a move.

In the cell, Li Xia reminded: "Lu Dutou..."

Lu Fengtai finally came to his senses and ordered the Luzhou army outside to arrest the guards of the Zhang family.

He has always had prestige in the army. Although his official position is not very high, he can still hold the scene.

After He Ding's death, both the Imperial Army deterred him and the capital suppressed the field. The soldiers in the capital finally obeyed the order and the situation stabilized.

At this time, 11 of the [-] guards of the Zhang family had died. Seeing that the situation was wrong, the rest abandoned their knives and surrendered one after another. Stabbed to death by this rough man...

Lu Fengtai panted, but rushed to Nie Zhongyou at the first time, shouting: "Are you crazy?! How dare you kill my commander..."

Nie Zhongyou said: "Then how do you think today will end?"

Lu Fengtai was silent for a moment.

He originally thought that since Zhang Rongzhi was dead, He Ding should first control the guards of the Zhang family if he had any sense of loyalty, but he didn't expect that He Ding would kill himself immediately.

Then it has nothing to do with state affairs, which shows that He Ding only wants to please the Zhang family.

"Aren't you afraid that Luzhou's army will change?"

"With you here, and the commander in the barracks outside the city, how can killing a commander make a difference?" Nie Zhongyou said: "I have analyzed this matter with Li Xia beforehand."

"Li Xia?"

Lu Fengtai turned his head to look, and saw that the young man was carefully wiping the blood on the sword with a cloth, while talking to the restrained Zhang family guard.

After seeing Nie Zhongyou waving, Li Xia walked over here.

"These Mongolian guards from the north will be interrogated. We will take away one or two who are familiar with the situation in the north, and leave the rest to Lu Dutou. I just asked, and they are all slaves."

"Okay." Nie Zhongyou said.

Li Xia said: "Where does the Meng man live? Are there any people he brought in the residence? Send someone to kill them or control them. In case we just cross the Huaihe River, we will not get news from the north."

"it is good."

Li Xia pointed at He Ding's head, and said: "Tou Lu, get rid of your boss' confidant, control the soldiers, and control the situation."

Lu Fengtai didn't answer, as if he was angry with Li Xia, he cut off his skirt and bandaged the wound with cloth strips.

Nie Zhongyou gave a rare smile, handed over the head in his hand, and stretched out his hand to bandage it.

"Do you know where Gao Changshou has been hiding?"

"where?"

Nie Zhongyou said: "There is a big house in the south of the city, which belongs to He Ding. He kept three fans in it. Gao Changshou hid in this house from the beginning to the end. He Ding never dreamed that the person he wanted to find It's in his other courtyard. It's a pity that you searched the city desperately, but you couldn't find it."

Lu Fengtai was silent for a while, spat a mouthful of bloody phlegm on the ground, and asked, "How did this end?"

"Li Xia said it just now, how do you want to end it?" Nie Zhongyou said: "This matter is not big, but it is not small. You just say that the imperial army from Lin'an Mansion made your commander If the traitor kills you, there is nothing you can do about it.”

"By the way, congratulations, your official position is so high...why didn't you say it before?"

"Those who have just been promoted out of the rules will only have a reputation." Nie Zhongyou said: "It's better not to talk about it when you are on a mission."

"Okay." Lu Fengtai turned his head and swept across the faces of the soldiers under his command, and said again: "I can't explain to the commander and envoy."

"Before I came out, the superiors told me that Yuan Jie from Huaiyou was looking for a way to transfer to Jiangnanxi Road, and he will not pursue you."

"why?"

"He is preparing to flee to the south of the Yangtze River. One more thing is worse than one less thing."

Lu Fengtai was stunned again, and suddenly felt a little discouraged...

~~
The next day, Yuan Jie, deputy envoy of Huaixi Zhizhi and Luzhou regiment training envoy, returned to Luzhou City.

For a long time, the "Jiedushi" that Lu Fengtai said refers to this person. Although Yuan Jie's official position is not as high as that of Jiedushi, but now this is the way in the Song Dynasty. , Every high official said "Xianggong".

Yuan Jie was less than 50 years old at the time, beautiful and majestic, and when he sat up first, the aura of a high-ranking official was heart-wrenching.

"What happened?"

Lu Fengtai quickly saluted, pretending to be panic-stricken, and said: "The Zhang family sent a man from the north, named Zhang Rongzhi. This man asked Commander He to search for some fugitives from Dali for him. Commander He then sent me to do it, and told me that It's what you mean..."

"Nonsense." Yuan Jie said lightly, displeased: "How can the Song Dynasty officials be appointed by foreign enemies? Why are you so courageous?"

"Yes." Lu Fengtai said: "There happened to be a group of imperial troops passing through Luzhou on business, the leader was Nie Zhongyou, Marquis Yu Yu, the former commander of the Palace of the Imperial Army, Nie Zhongyou heard about this, and beheaded Zhang Rongzhi and Commander He."

After listening to this, Yuan Jie showed a righteous look on his face, and said: "He Ding is indeed guilty of a serious crime in associating with the enemy. But Yuhou, the capital of the imperial army, dared to kill a general in the Luzhou army and used lynching without authorization. It is an unforgivable crime. You Why don't you take it down and wait for the court to report it to the public?"

Lu Fengtai said: "During the chaos, the lowly officials were also injured, there is really no way to stop them. Moreover, Nie Zhongyou took out the warrant, it seems that he has a lot of background, his business trip was originally for the court... Prime Minister Jia Shu life."

At this time, the words "Jia Shuxiang" came to his ears, and Yuan Jie's eyes flashed a wave.

He groaned while twisting his beard, and finally seemed to be unable to bear it any longer, so he snorted and cursed in front of his subordinates.

"Being reckless, power rapes and disrupts the country."

In the past, even if Lu Fengtai just glanced at Yuan Jie from afar, he would be impressed by Yuan Jieshi's upright demeanor.

But today he finally got close, but he felt another ray of disappointment in his heart.

The news given by Nie Zhongyou and Li Xia made an analysis... This envoy Yuan Jie asked He Ding to arrest Gao Changshou and hand it over to the Mongols. It is better to have one thing more than one thing less.

Sure enough, in the end, it was just such a sanctimonious curse.

Anyway, Yuan Jieshi was not in Luzhou when the incident happened, so it had nothing to do with him; anyway, he was going to be transferred to Jiangnan, so it had nothing to do with him in Huaixi.

Thinking about this, Lu Fengtai lowered his head, thinking of Du Xianggong who guarded Luzhou back then, his eyes couldn't help but tingle.

In my ear, Yuan Jie covered his breath with a long sigh, and said in a tone of concern for the country and the people: "Let's report this matter truthfully, there are soldiers colluding with foreign invaders, and the superiors have the power to act recklessly, what is the state affairs, what is the matter... ...Since He Ding is dead and you have always been able to do things well, this old man intends to take the position of commander for you, are you willing?"

"Humble post, willing to die for the envoy!"

Lu Fengtai hurriedly knelt down, knocked heavily on the ground, then raised his head, tears streaming down his face...
