I am the sword fairy

Chapter 216
Royal Palace.

Jiyingdian.

The official sat on the dragon chair and looked calmly at the impassioned and spitting Qi envoy in front of him.

This messenger is a Han Chinese.

Of course, he didn't admit it himself.

Because he was already a naturalized citizen of Qi State in his grandfather's generation.

And as a general of Qi State, he made outstanding contributions in the war to destroy Northern Zhao.

He was deeply loved by the Qi Emperor who had abdicated.

He even married a princess to his grandfather and respected him as the Golden Sword Consort!

By his generation, although the family's influence in the military had become very weak, it was also their own choice. After abandoning the military and becoming civilized, they still had great influence in the Qi court.

His family's status is even higher than many of the top nobles in Qi!
After the Han envoy, who claimed to have the blood of the Qi royal family in his body, came over, he quoted scriptures and spoke sharply——

"This is a naked killing!"

"It's robbery!"

"A dignified third-rank official of the Zhao Kingdom openly led troops to invade the allied countries and stole 20 horses! He killed more than [-] people! Countless innocent people were slaughtered. You must hand over this man!"

"Don't think that Da Qi really can't spare this hand now that it's going to war with Xiliao."

"Have the officials ever thought about a question? If there is a ceasefire between Qi and Liao at this time, what will be the fate of Zhao that is waiting for you?"

The officials listened quietly and did not interrupt to refute.

It wasn't until the man said he was tired and his throat was dry, that he picked up a cup of tea and poured it into his stomach, then he spoke slowly.

"Is there any evidence for this?"

puff!
Cough!

The Qi envoy choked on the water on the spot, his face turned red, and he was speechless for a long time.

His mouth was mute and he couldn't make any sound at all.

a long time.

a long time.

At least half a moment passed before he finally recovered a little.

Looking at the eunuchs who looked serious but seemed to be suppressing their laughter, he was completely angry.

"Guan, you are acting like a rogue! This matter is known to everyone in the world. It has spread throughout your Zhao country. A large number of horses that Song Yu snatched from the Northern Qi Dynasty entered Xiangzhou... Tens of thousands of people saw it with their own eyes. Do you ask me? evidence?"

The official said: "Of course, where is the evidence? Are you the only one in the world who has horses in Qi State? You are slandering my third-rank official of Zhao State like this... Oh, by the way, you forgot to tell the envoy that he is no longer a third-rank official."

The envoy from Qi was stunned.

The official said: "Song Yu's latest title is King Yong... Yes, brave Yong is not the same as my third prince. In addition, he was also named a second-rank Privy Councilor, so when you see him now, I need to call you His Highness the Brave King!"

The envoy of Qi State: "..." Ridicule!This is absolutely a travesty!

"As for your accusations, I don't know much about it, and I can't give the envoy any reply. I only know that Qi Jue, the king of Zhao of Qi State, invaded the Chuzhou City of Zhao State without any reason, burned, killed, looted, and committed adultery there. Woman, you have committed a heinous crime! Our brave king took the lead and killed Qi Jue's 800 elite men with [-] men!"

The official looked at the envoy and said calmly: "I just don't know about this matter. How do you, Qi State, explain it?"

"That is Qi Jue's personal behavior!" The envoy from Qi State had already been instructed before arriving and said loudly: "Qi Jue has now been demoted to Qi State Duke. The reason is that he broke into Zhao State without authorization and committed a crime, so he was punished. There is a punishment!”

"Oh, that's it. I know." The official nodded and then stopped talking.

The Qi envoy suddenly became anxious and said angrily: "Do the officials have to protect Song Yu?"

The official glanced at him: "He is my favorite general. If I don't protect him, why should I protect you?"

The envoy of Qi State was furious: "As a king of a country, to be so rogue, like you, Zhao State is not far away from being destroyed again!"

"Presumptuous!" an old eunuch scolded coldly, "You, a man who has forgotten his ancestors, dare to bark in front of officials?"

The envoy from the State of Qi sneered: "The foreign minister understands. It seems that the officials are determined to break with our State of Qi. Okay, in this case, there is nothing to say. You, the State of Zhao, are waiting for the Qi army to enter the country in large numbers, and everyone will be in ruins." Bar!"

He said and glanced at the old eunuch: "Besides, I am from Qi! My ancestors are naturally from Qi. As a eunuch, he dares to interrupt in such a situation. It is really unruly. If it is in my Qi Country, you would have been pushed out and executed long ago!"

The old eunuch said calmly: "If your ancestors knew that their descendants recognized thieves as their fathers, the coffin boards would explode. Our family is not interrupting randomly. We just can't stand you treating people like dogs. We can't stand for your ancestors." It's worth it!" The Qi envoy's face turned livid: "The Zhao royal family ignores etiquette and laws, and does not follow any rules from top to bottom. Foreign ministers have learned the lesson today, so take your leave!"

As he spoke, he waved his sleeves and turned to leave.

Seeing his back disappearing at the entrance of the hall, the official smiled indifferently, and then asked the old eunuch: "Is there no news about Song Yu yet?"

The old eunuch said: "There are rumors outside that he followed the Hanjiang waterway to clean up the Black Fengshui Village and the Sanshui Gang. The old slave heard that there seems to be a Yin Shen organization in E City that was uprooted by a female hero. , a large number of core believers have been killed in recent times... I don’t know if this matter is related to Mr. Yu."

"The latest news here related to Mr. Yu is that the Sanshui Gang, a group of water thieves who have been harming Hongzhou for many years, have actually begun to do good things."

The steward smiled and said, "Okay, since he won't be back for a while, you go and send out the decree and tell it to the world!"

……

……

The Emperor, who was entrusted by heaven, issued an edict: Now Song Yu, the general of the Chuzhou Guards and the son of Hanjiang County, led eight hundred forbidden troops to relieve the danger of Chuzhou. He destroyed the enemy outside the city of Chuzhou and beheaded more than five thousand people. He successfully recovered Chuzhou. There are Great contribution to the country.He was named the Brave King and was given knowledge of the Privy Council affairs...

This is the true edict that is announced to the world!
It needs to be sent to the following state capitals, and then passed down by the state capitals step by step.

After all, this was not a private quarrel with the Northern Qi envoy. The edict was clearly written - behead five thousand enemy soldiers and be crowned king!

Of course, anyone with a discerning eye knows that it might be okay to just kill five thousand enemies and be granted the title of county magistrate or earl or something like that.

It is difficult to become a marquis, but it is even more impossible to become a duke or a prince.

The reason why he was granted the title of king in one step must be because what Song Yu did in Qi State was recognized by the officials!
There is no stronger proof than this!
Mr. Yu should indeed be crowned king!
As for the second-rank official who knows the affairs of the Privy Council... the king with a different surname has been granted a title, is there still a need for this official position?
When Song Yu saw this decree, he had already disguised himself as a somewhat slovenly gangster and infiltrated a secret organization in Hongzhou!
He previously thought that gangs like the Sanshui Gang, who were also Yan Yan's minions, were likely to be related to the Yinshen like the Black Fengshui Village.

After some investigation, it was found that there was no relationship.

Although this gang is very big, with tens of thousands of members, and has done a lot of bad things, there are really not many serious evils. Unlike the Black Feng Shui Village, which does everything, the Sanshui Gang is relatively small. Pay attention to reputation.

The two gang leaders are quite strict with their subordinates. The gang is probably most criticized for collecting tolls from passing ships and collecting protection fees from fishermen.

For a gang that does not have very strong masters, it is easy to kill them all. It is also in line with the rules of Jianghu people to retaliate with grievances and revenge with hatred. It is more in line with his own words of repaying grievances with straightness and repaying kindness with kindness.

But after all, the vast majority of people are not guilty enough to die, and killing people also depends on the reason.

If such a huge gang can be allowed to put tens of thousands of gang members on the right path from now on, it will not only be a great good thing for all the people in the entire Hongzhou area, but also a strong deterrent!

A powerful gang like the Sanshui Gang "willingly" chooses to "be good". Those other gangsters who do bad things should think carefully about what kind of force led to the changes in the Sanshui Gang?
Even though there will still be many bad people and bad things in the future, at least the biggest bully who once occupied Hongzhou has disappeared.

Song Yu did this out of pure coercion and inducement, making He Wen and Sanshui Gang leader Zheng Xin realize that if they continued to choose to follow Chu Qinghui's group, they would not only have no future at all, but they could also be lost at any time. Head!
He did not use monstrous words to confuse the public. It would not be a big problem if he used it selectively once in a while. If he used it all the time, he would definitely be suspected!
Although the Sanshui Gang had nothing to do with Yinshen, Song Yu still did not choose to leave immediately.

For a state capital as big as Hongzhou, and with the Sanshui Gang as a cover, there was no reason why Chu Qinghui would give up.

After disguising himself and wandering around in the market, Song Yu soon discovered something and used evil words to confuse the public and successfully infiltrated this organization.

……

……

"Huang Da, you are new here. I have to explain the rules to you. First of all, you must swear to God that what you tell is the truth, otherwise you will disappear into ashes after you die!"

"I swear, everything I, Huang Da, said is true!" Song Yu used some lies to confuse the crowd, and it was easy to get away with it.

"Secondly, the purpose of our Chu Hong Sect is that once you join the religion, you must never betray, otherwise you will not be able to become a god after death, and your soul will also be scattered!"

"Thirdly, there have been a lot of rumors recently. There are rumors that Mr. Yu may appear in our place, so all public activities have been stopped!"

A helmsman, after explaining all the rules to Song Yu, immediately asked Song Yu to take Song Yu to perform the first task of joining the Chu Hong Sect——

Go to believers’ homes to collect food!

Follow this group of people to leave Hongzhou, pass through a small town, and finally arrive at a small village more than 30 miles away from Hongzhou.

Song Yu followed the group of people dressed as grain merchants to one of the houses.

As soon as I entered the yard, I saw a large amount of recently recovered millet piled in the yard.

This year should be a good harvest year. The ears are big and plump, which looks very pleasing to the eye.

The Chu Hong Sect member responsible for pulling food frowned slightly, looked at the head of the family and said, "What's going on?"

What did Song Yuxin say?
I saw this family looking like they had made a mistake, and said cautiously: "Sir, I'm so sorry, this little family is short of labor, so they can barely get the grain back, and they haven't even had time to go to the mill..."

"Do you know that you will cause us a lot of trouble? How can you ask me to pull it like this?" The core believer of Chu Hong Sect scolded, and then looked at Song Yu and said: "You stay and help him pull this grain to the mill to grind it out." , others follow me and go to the next house!"
