Lord please forgive me

Chapter 52

Ying Zhen looked at Jiang Shan's leaving figure, recalling what she meant by the last sentence she said, and after thinking about it for a long time, she couldn't figure out why, so she simply didn't think about it.

However, this woman is clever and clever, and she is an old acquaintance of mine, so I can come to her for advice if I don't understand anything in the future.

Yingzhen drifted away without notifying Jiang Ying, and returned to Qingshan where the Qianfeng Battalion was located.

The cottage is located in a depression on the mountainside, and there are dozens of small wooden buildings of different sizes, which can be completely burned with a single fire, which is why Lu Zhengguang is eager to buy stones and hire craftsmen to rebuild here,

It can accommodate about 2000 people, and the rest of the Qianfengying brothers are scattered in some small cottages around.

The most comfortable and sunny small building is naturally reserved for Yingzhen to live in, and there are many rooms, including a master bedroom, a side room and a hall. I think the person who lived here before should be a bandit leader.
Chu Qingqing had already brought someone to clean up the small building, and found new bedding for Yingzhen to spread, while she lived in the side room next to the master bedroom.

At this moment in the hall, Yingzhen was sitting on the main seat, Lu Zhengguang, Nie Wuwei, and Mu Qingwan sat on the left and right, and Chu Qingqing was still standing on Yingzhen's left and right.

Yingzhen caressed the carved faucet armrest of the seat, looked at the poorly furnished environment in the hall, and smiled at the audience: "It seems that we have become a group of bandits,"

"Hahaha"

"Brother, there are more than a dozen axes thrown on the floor of the room I live in. The mess is too ugly. We have to hurry up and renovate this place,"

Only when Lu Zhengguang was facing Yingzhen, would he put on a little smile, but that smile looked a bit fake. He got up and said:
"Master, our current food supply can only last ten days. There is also news from Yao Zong that he is bringing fifty carts of food from Anping County to Qingzhou. He estimates that the food can also supply ten days. Today, there are still 27 taels of silver in Qianfeng's camp account. If you can't open up the source, you won't last long, not to mention rebuilding the cottage. Do you want Zhengguang to lead people to surround Qingzhou Mansion?"

"What did the chief say? We are not bandits. What are you doing to besiege the city? I think the senior brother has his own opinion on this matter." After finishing speaking, Qingwan looked towards Yingzhen. In her heart, there was nothing for her senior brother to solve. no.

Yingzhen smiled lightly: "Qingzhou is like a big cake. Now it is the general manager's mansion, the Song Clan, and our three families to share the cake. Without affecting the normal operation of the entire Qingzhou mansion, it requires both parties to spit out a little. Come to us, but don't let them vomit too much, too much will kill us, now that the forward battalion has just arrived here, it is not stable, so it is not appropriate to make enemies with them, "

Qingwan looked at Yingzhen expectantly from below, blinked and said: "But brother, how can I make them spit out some obediently?"

Yingzhen smiled and raised her hand, "There is no rush, let Zhengguang describe the situation in Qingzhou Prefecture in detail first."

"Of order," Lu Zhengguang got up and stood in the middle of the hall, saying solemnly:

"Although Qingzhou is surrounded by mountains in the east, west, and south, the mining industry is indeed developed here. There are twelve iron mines above the designated size, three copper mines, three salt mines, and one gold mine.
The magistrate is named Zhang Mao. Although he was appointed by the imperial court, he is actually a member of the Song clan. The meaning of the Song Clan, if it weren't for the fact that there were wars on the west and north sides of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and there was no time to look south, I am afraid that the court would have already attacked the Song Clan.
As for the Song Clan, Song Linghui, the lord of the Clan, is aloof and arrogant, but he is a talented person. He is devoted to martial arts, and his two brothers are in charge of family affairs. His martial arts realm is the Great Perfection, and he is the number one martial arts master in South of the Five Ridges. Ranked fourth in the [Langtao List], because of the existence of this person, Li Yuanying can only suffer in the Seven States. "

After Yingzhen listened, she nodded in satisfaction, then turned her head and said:

"Xiaoqing, prepare pen, ink, paper and inkstone,"

"Yes, sir,"

After Chu Qingqing finished grinding the ink, she unfolded the rice paper on a square table, then handed the pen to Ying Zhen,

Of course Yingzhen can't write by herself, the writing with her brush is a mess, how could he be ashamed in front of so many people,
"I will dictate, you will write,"

"Good sir," Chu Qingqing raised her right sleeve with her left hand, dipped her pen in ink,
Only Yingzhen said slowly:
"Today, my vanguard camp is stationed in the barren hills outside Qingzhou. Thousands of sons and daughters have no shelter, no food for cooking, and they are in pain. I want to use Qingzhou with the prince as a shelter and supply. I hope the prince will generously give it to you.

——Mingjiao, Yingzhen,"

The content of this letter does not mean to discuss with the other party at all, it seems to say: I want Qingzhou, I just let you know out of politeness,
After Chu Qingqing finished writing, she blew on the wet ink on the rice paper, "My lord, is this letter going to the Governor's Mansion?"

"That's right," Yingzhen nodded, and then explained to Lu Zhengguang, "Find a competent subordinate and rush to Ganzhou to deliver the letter in the starry night. In name, Qingzhou Prefecture is always under the jurisdiction of Jiangnan Road, so let this road Leave the problem to Li Yuanying."

"The leader is brilliant," Lu Zhengguang carefully took the envelope, turned around and left the hall.

……

Four days later,
Ganzhou, Prince Teng's Mansion,

Li Yuanying sat in a square pavilion in the palace garden. After reading the letter in his hand, he folded it again and put it in the envelope.
"Both of you also know the content of the letter, what's your opinion?"

In front of him stood two people, one civil and one military,
Guo Gui, who was dressed as a Confucian scholar, frowned and said:
"My lord, the land of Qingzhou is rich in products. It was previously controlled by the Song clan. Although it was also a wolf's ambition, it paid a lot of taxes every year. If it was handed over to the devil emperor, the whole Qingzhou would be like a married daughter-in-law. It would be a penny back." Don’t come, if you don’t give him Qingzhou, if he makes trouble, I’m afraid the palace will not be peaceful for a day, so someone Guo suggested to push this matter to the Song Clan,”

After reading the letter, Li Yuanying has not shown any emotion until now, and his face is still calm. Hearing this, he asked curiously: "Oh? Mr. Guo, tell me, how do you deduce it?"

Guo Gui continued:

"The lord can agree to this matter in the reply letter, but it is only limited to what we know, and we can't spread it to outsiders, and we will still ask the Song Clan for it when the tax is collected. As for whether Song Linghui dares to ask Yingzhen for money, it is none of our business." gone."

Cao Ai, another military commander, also echoed: "The final general thinks Mr. Guo's move is brilliant. It has weakened the strength of the Song Clan, and we can't offend Yingzhen. Let's just be that fisherman and watch the snipe and clam. fighting,"

"If General Cao regards this as a fight between snipe and clam, he will think highly of Song Linghui too much."

Cao Ai was speechless for a moment.

After saying that, Li Yuan fell into deep thought. He hasn't taken a matter so seriously for a long time. It seems that he is so indecisive only when facing his emperor brother.

He first thought that Yingzhen must not be offended, Han Lin's [-] elites ran away without a single fart, which reflected from the side that even if there are thousands of troops, they would not dare to provoke the Demon Emperor casually.
But the other party has now appeared on his own territory, and if he handles it carelessly, it may cause a catastrophe.
"Mr. Guo, you should send a letter to the Song Clan quickly, asking him to pay this year's taxes in advance, and for the Devil's Cult, you should write on behalf of the king, and the tone must be polite and tactful, saying that it is a matter of great importance to the government. , I, Li Yuanying, don’t dare to make a personal claim, I need to report this matter to the Son of Heaven for the Holy Judgment, please ask Master Ying to delay the time.”

"My lord's plan is brilliant, I'll write it right away, and I'll ask my lord to read it after I finish writing it,"

"Well, I'm tired"
