After the divorce, the salted fish beauty took the script of the villain

At sunset, Feng Yu's team camped by the small river to rest.

On the way from Xizhou to Tongzhou, there are many large and small towns, some of which moved to Xizhou City. Many people are nostalgic for their homeland, reluctant to leave, and still live in the town.There are no bandits to make trouble, and the large and small villages outside the city, the towns rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, and the rivers to eat the rivers, life is getting better.

Nuan Yang and a few soldiers went down the river to catch a few fat river fish, Feng Yu drank a bowl of fresh fish soup for dinner, Nuan Yang settled down with the soldiers and came to talk to Feng Yu about Tongzhou.

Xie Xun hadn't sent a message yet, it was Nuan Yang who sent someone to the front to inquire about the news.

Nuan Yang is the son of the Hou Mansion. He grew up in the Hou Mansion. He is quick-witted and sociable. He often runs errands for Xie Xun and Mrs. Hou. He is more familiar with the interpersonal relationship of the Hou Mansion than Xie Xun.

"Lord Lin Zhi and Eldest Young Master, the Eldest Young Master of the Lin family has a very good personal relationship, and he is very cautious. The Lin family really specializes in producing scholars, even if they are from the side blood. Lord Lin Zhi and Eldest Young Master Lin, our Eldest Young Master is very knowledgeable. He He also had to take the imperial examination. Although Mr. Lin looked calm when he was young, in fact he was proud of his talents, had a high self-esteem, and was confident about his own talents, so he took the imperial examination very early and passed the three yuan. Master Lin Zhi is different. He is very cautious and wants to be stable, maybe he is also deliberately avoiding Mr. Lin. For many reasons, he took the imperial examination three years late. After being a flower in high school, he did not choose to enter the Imperial Academy, but went to the Criminal Ministry. In the corruption case, he did not It's not the presiding judge, because of his upright temper, he offended the clan and was framed for corruption. The evidence of the crime is convincing. It's not easy for Mr. Ge to come forward to protect him. It was Mr. Lin Zhi who was protected by our eldest son, so he was sent to Jiaozhou. Mr. Lin Zhi I came to thank Mrs. Hou specially, the master received him, and later said that Mrs. Lin Zhi is a kind person, and he might be able to show his talents by going to Jiaozhou at an untimely time. So when the master received his reply, he didn't become suspicious, from the bottom of his heart I believe Master Lin Zhi is not an ungrateful person."

Fengyu drank the warm tea that Chunlu had just handed over, and said lightly, "Everyone lives for a lifetime, no matter whether they are the Ninth Five-Year Master or a peddler or a pawn, they all have weaknesses. Just like me. Because of the weak kinship, I value it more and more in my heart. Mrs. Lin Zhi may have difficulties, or she may be loyal to the Yuwen royal family. The light of death is extinguished, and it is useless to talk about it. Lin Zhi's death will bring about a series of complicated problems, the iron cavalry of Ningzhou will be reviled by the world, and those in the Twelve Prefectures who don't want to submit to the prince will know what to do, unless it is really suppressed by force."

"No!" Nuan Yang has known the depth of Xie Xun's account for several years, "The master has lost orthodoxy in rebelling and usurping the throne. If he raises troops in the territory, he will lose the support of the people, so he will retreat to Tongzhou Otherwise, he would have ordered the attack on the city long ago."

Feng Yu also knew Xie Xun's difficulties and anger.

Lin Zhi betrayed himself before the battle, trapped him in injustice, with his temperament, he might want to bombard the entire Jiaozhou City, now he can only retreat to Tongzhou aggrieved.

Xie Xun led and commanded the right-wing vanguard before his leg injury, and he will always be the sharp knife of the army.

"I must be very angry!"

Nuan Yang said with a smile, "When the master sees the girl, everything goes well."

"Hope it!"

Tongzhou, the state capital.

The magistrate of Tongzhou is surnamed Zhang, and his single name is Feng.He is the direct blood of the Zhang family of the Jinzhou clan. He did not stop Xie Xun's army from entering the country, and the two had a personal relationship when suppressing bandits.Zhang Feng entertained Xie Xun and the other officers and men with a grand banquet. Xie Xun showed no signs of anger or emotion, and entertained the officials in Tongzhou. Xu Zhou had sent people to guard the main roads and gates of Tongzhou.

When Xie Xun led troops to suppress the bandits, Zhang Feng committed a taboo. This time he did not dare to repeat the same trick. He just entertained Xie Xun with good wine and good food. Tongzhou prefecture has different people's hearts. Xie Xun brought tens of thousands of soldiers to Tongzhou. Others tentatively asked him what he was going to do, and the Twelve States didn't need to suppress bandits anymore.

Xie Xun told the truth, "After the increase of troops in Jiaozhou, the king received a letter from Lingzhi, the prefect, and promised Ningzhou iron cavalry to garrison Jiaozhou. Who knew that Linzhi would commit suicide before the battle, and the gate of Jiaozhou was closed. The king had to retreat to Tongzhou, etc. Evacuate the residents of Jiaozhou, and attack again in ten days."

The banquet was filled with toasts and cups, and there was an instant silence, and no one made a sound. Zhang Feng was about to thank Xun, but he almost lost his grip on the wine glass, "Lin Zhi... Master Lin is dead?"

"Yes!" Xie Xun frowned, "Suddenly cut himself off at the city gate, this king is also at a loss."

The aides of Tongzhou Prefecture looked at each other, Xie Xun put down his wine glass, everyone seemed to have just recovered, and got up hastily, Xie Xun raised his hand and said, "Everyone take it easy, I am a little tired, so I will not accompany you!"

"My lord, go slowly!"

When this happened, Xie Xun was really in a bad mood. As soon as he left the entire Tongzhou officialdom, he exploded, "Master Lin Zhi was forced to die, or did she really commit suicide?"

"Jiaozhou has stated its position, my lord, what should we do?"

"If we knew this before, we should learn from Jiaozhou and close the city gates and threaten with our lives. Now that the army is stationed, it is easy to ask God to send God away. The imperial court will definitely think that we have rebelled."

"My lord, Jiaozhou has chosen the imperial court, and we have to make a plan early, whether to choose Ningzhou or the imperial court, and make a decision as soon as possible!"

……

Zhang Feng got a headache from the quarrel and drank three glasses of wine in a row. Xie Xun bluntly said that he was forcing Tongzhou to make an early decision!

Xie Xun said that on the tenth day, that is, on the tenth day, the army stayed in Tongzhou and did not eat Tongzhou rice for nothing. Tens of thousands of troops helped Tongzhou winter plowing and harvesting. There are a lot of young and middle-aged laborers, and the people in the city are the happiest. Zhang Feng has a headache. These days, iron cavalry is much more popular in Tongzhou than in the state capital.

The people Xie Xun sent to Jiaozhou to investigate intelligence also came back.

"Mrs. Lin Zhi said that something was wrong with Lin Zhi after the letter from the Lin family. She asked Lin Zhi, but he didn't say anything. He only asked her to take the child back to the capital and not stay in the Twelve States." He was silent, he knew the relationship between Xie Xun and the Lin family, and this matter was also a great blow to Xie Xun.

"Who wrote the letter? Is it uncle or cousin?" Xie Xun's voice could not hear any joy or anger. Ever since he and Xie Jue betrayed the capital, they knew that one day they would be in trouble with the Lin family.

"Mrs. Lin doesn't know either. Master Lin Zhi burned the letter after reading it. The person who delivered the letter left in a hurry, so she didn't have time to ask."

"Go down!"

This was a situation that even Xie Jue could not break, it was seamless.Lin Zhi was persecuted by Ningzhou iron cavalry in front of the city gate, her blood was spattered three feet, she refused to surrender, she was utterly loyal.Scholars all over the world praised Lin Zhi's loyalty and unyielding spirit, and wrote stories for him to add fuel and jealousy, portraying Xie Xun as a tyrant who persecuted Lin Zhi and wanted to slaughter Jiaozhou. Thousands of citizens in the city left their names in history with their loyalty.

The rumors became more and more intense, and Ningzhou was far away from the capital and the south of the Yangtze River. The rumors spread from Zhongzhou to the south of the Yangtze River and the capital. Xie Xun has become a tyrant who wants to slaughter the city in the eyes of the people.

What the truth is is no longer important, as everyone talks about the Twelve States, when everyone in the street talks about the Twelve States, it has already become a sea of ​​flames.I don't know who incited a group of sour Confucian scholars to write countless articles slandering Xie Xun and praising Lin Zhi, which were circulated in Jiangnan, Kyoto, and Zhongzhou.When Xie Jue and Xie Xun read the storybook, the image of Xie Xun wanting to slaughter Jiaozhou was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

The students in Jiangnan, Zhongzhou and Kyoto criticized Xie Xun, as if they came to Jiaozhou, saw Xie Xun persecuting Linzhi, and saw Xie Xun slaughtering the city with their own eyes. Every tavern, teahouse, and restaurant had storytellers talking about Xie Xun slaughtering Jiaozhou s story.The people questioned why the eldest son of the Zhenbei Hou Mansion would do such a frenzied thing.

The death of Lin Zhi condensed all the anger of the people in Jiangnan, Zhongzhou and the capital. They no longer remember the five generations of the Zhenbeihou Mansion guarding the border and bloody battles on the battlefield.

When the storybook spread to Tongzhou, Zhang Feng was shocked to see it.

"This...this...students can't be offended!" Zhang Feng blurted out, it was really unbelievable, how did Xie Xun spread the word about Tujiaozhou?It would have been slaughtered long ago.

"My lord, you are also a scholar!" The staff reminded him with a smile, "Moreover, all the staff in the state capital are scholars."

Zhang Feng was also a serious Jinshi. He ranked very high in the year of the imperial examination, and almost entered the top [-]. Most of the staff in the mansion were masters of Juren.

Zhang Feng hurriedly waved his hands, "Slip of speech, slip of speech... wonderful forgiveness."

"Does the lord know?"

"Our state government knows it, how could the prince not know!"

Looking at the cloudy sky, the staff member sighed, "The imperial court's situation is really... poisonous and accurate."
