Southern Song Dynasty military god

Chapter 243
In the dead of night in Chengdu County, most people were sleeping soundly at this time, but a shrill scream came from the Yamen of Yizhou Prefecture, waking up the surrounding residents.

The screams were just the beginning, and soon, the sound became noisy, and various sounds entered people's ears. Some timid people didn't dare to light the lamp at all, but just climbed to the edge of the window, lifted a corner of the window, or used Licking wet fingers poked a hole in the window paper and looked out.

In the direction of the government office, a fire has already been crackling. Although the flames are not rising high at this time, but at this time the weather is dry and the things are dry, and under the help of the night wind, it will not take long for the fire to burn through the government office!
Seeing the fire rising, there were not many people who wanted to put out the fire. Firstly, the continuous screams made them feel terrified, and secondly, the masked men who rushed out from the government office all held shining steel guns in their hands. knife!

Where did this strongman come from, to dare to kill the government?
Many people who witnessed this scene were guessing in their hearts.Although neither the government office nor the county government is very popular with the people, but the rabbit is dead and the fox is sad, and the lips are dead and the teeth are cold. God knows whether these strong people only have hatred against the government?If their desires are not satisfied in the government, will it affect the surrounding houses?
With these worries in mind, civilians will not stand up to stop these strongmen, and what makes everyone feel at ease is that these strongmen don't seem to intend to disturb the houses.

Some people have sharp eyes and saw many people in prison uniforms among those strong men. Could it be that this is a prison robbery?
The strongman rushed to the city gate unimpeded, and after knocking down a limited number of city guards, he opened the city gate and walked away. After a long time, the footsteps of the city defense army could be heard in Chengdu County.

In fact, the urban defense forces in Chengdu County today are almost all old, weak, sick and disabled, and their duty is only to guard against the Jin Kingdom's attack. So Shangxin, who would have thought that the target of this "disturbance" was precisely the Yamen?

When the city defense army found out that it was the government office that was burned, the magistrate was also looted, and a considerable number of prisoners disappeared, they became really anxious.

But at this moment, where can they catch up with those strong men?The behavior of the city defense army in the county is nothing more than a show.

Outside the city, the people of the Shi family who were arrested and sent to the prison were squatting together, surrounded by shining steel knives, no one dared to move.

These direct relatives of the Shi family didn't know what happened at all. They were taken out of the cell, and then they were driven here with the point of a knife on their waists. The dense treetops closed the sky, and the layers of tree trunks covered them Peripheral sight, could it be that this is their cemetery?

A little further away from these people, there were more than a dozen other figures, including Liu Wei.

At this time, he had already taken off his mask, and looked at the trembling magistrate, Shi Ping and Shi Sanwa. As for Shi County Wei, he had died in the magistrate's compound. The waist knife pierced through Shi Xianwei's chest.

"Liu Wei. Gao Chong, you let me go. I will never say a word about today's incident. I can testify for you. Shi Sanwa led the bandits to rob the prison and burn down the government office. I promise ,I promise!"

The magistrate still didn't forget to ask Liu Wei for mercy, but it only provoked a sneer on Liu Wei's face.

"Second brother, what do you say? Is this guy reliable?"

At this time, Shi Ping and Shi Sanwa have stopped talking. They know very well in their hearts that Liu Wei will never let them walk. Although the sky is about to light up, if they want to see the sun rise, they are probably the ones. extravagant hope.

Asked by Liu Wei, Gao Chong also took off his mask, frowned and glanced at the pale magistrate, then turned to Liu Wei and said, "I don't think it's reliable."

"Reliable, reliable!"

Hearing Gao Chong's words, the magistrate was almost desperate, and hurriedly opened his mouth, but Liu Wei kicked him mercilessly, and then knelt down and said to the magistrate: "Actually, I'm very concerned about the Shi family compound. I am also very interested in the warehouse, what kind of price do you think I need to pay to buy the few confidantes you left at the warehouse door?"

"Conquer them? Liu Wei, you really don't need to worry about this. Let me say a word, a word, the warehouse of the Shi family, no, everything in the entire Shi family belongs to you, it belongs to you!"

"That's it! Then I understand. In fact, there is no need to subdue it at all. Wouldn't it be more straightforward to kill it directly? Let's settle it, Lord Zhifu, you are no longer worth using. Choose a direction, and I will bury you in a while." Already!"

"No!"

Liu Wei's words made the magistrate let out a scream and wet his crotch with urine.

When the stinky smell dissipated, someone had already come up and clamped the magistrate's neck, and dragged him aside like a chicken's neck.

Seeing the ending of the magistrate, Shiping became calm instead.His younger brother, Shi Xianwei, is dead, and his other half-brother, Shi Sanwa, is waiting to die with him.

"Liu Wei, are you planning to kill everyone in our Shi family?"

"Oh?" Liu Wei frowned slightly, and said with a smile, "Why, is this what you care about so far?"

"Otherwise, so what? You dare to kill the magistrate, I think you are determined to rebel, right? Poor Mr. Wu Jie, but you have become Mr. Dong Guo once!"

"Stop talking about such sarcastic remarks! What did your Shi family do? Do you really think I don't know? Shi Sanba, you didn't tell your stupid brother, what did you tell me? I think the magistrate finally agreed to talk to you The reason for the collusion is not just some money, right?"

"You know it all?"

Even though he was already doomed to die, Shi Ping's face still changed drastically at this time, and the change in his face made Gao Chong see some clues, turned his head to the side of the magistrate who was dragged away, and said in a low voice: "For now Don't do it!"

"Sanba, what did you say?"

Shi Ping turned his head to look at the ashen-faced Shi Sanwa, but saw Shi Sanwa's lips trembling slightly, as if he was muttering silently, but no one could hear what he was muttering.

"Second brother, why don't these three guys go back to our dungeon first?"

"There's no need for Shi Sanwa, he deserves to die, and we still need him to take the blame! Let me do it!" It was rare for Gao Chong to be so active, and Liu Wei shrugged his shoulders in agreement.

Gao Chong raised Shi Sanwa to get up, but Shi Sanwa didn't look sad at all, and didn't even struggle at all. Instead, she let out a long breath, as if she was about to be relieved.

"We won't say anything, absolutely not!"

Shi Ping knew that what he said at this time was useless and could not change his own destiny, so he simply gritted his teeth and persisted.It's a pity that Liu Wei ignored him, and just said lightly: "Do you know why Sanwa said that? Look at your brother, how does he face death calmly? Think about it, you should be able to guess, I The dungeon you set up is definitely not something you can bear, and maybe you begged for it, but you won't be able to ask for a happy death!"

"Then what about my family?"

The muscles on Shi Ping's face twitched slightly, of course he could see that Shi Sanwa was abnormal, and if he connected it with what Liu Wei just said, it was enough to convince him that what Liu Wei said was not a lie.

"I'm not a murderer. They don't deserve death. I will send them away in the name of Shi Sanwa. As for whether they can survive in this troubled world in the end, it has nothing to do with me!"

"Liu Wei, it's almost time!"

While the two were talking, Gao Chong had turned around and came back. There was no blood on his body, and no one even heard Shi Sanwa's screams, but everyone could see that Gao Chong had killed Shi Sanwa. Under the high pet, the whole body is covered with a layer of evil spirit that is clearly invisible but everyone can feel it.

"The Shi family colluded with bandits to loot the government office!"

"Everyone from the Shi family robbed the magistrate, and fled away!"

"There is no one to preside over the two yamen. General Liu is temporarily in charge of Chengdu County!"

After the sky brightened, various rumors began to spread in Chengdu County, some of which were close to the facts, and some were completely out of shape.

In fact, the operating procedures of the government in this era are not like what the common people say. If the magistrate and county magistrate are absent, the power will fall into the hands of a general who has just been promoted like Liu Wei. After all, the Song Dynasty was a dynasty with the separation of powers between the military and the government, and the generals controlled the civil affairs. Even for Wu Jie, he actually wears the black hat of a civil official, and when he was under the jurisdiction of Bashu, Shaanxi, he actually did not have the power to appoint and abolish local civil affairs officials.

The rumor about "Liu Wei temporarily taking charge of Chengdu County" is completely a smoke bomb deliberately released by the people of Gaojiazhuang. In this way, even those officials below the prefect have to be cautious if they want to take the opportunity to gain real power Liu Wei, the person with the highest official rank in Chengdu County today.

"Second brother, do you really want to go?"

Regarding the ups and downs that happened in Chengdu County, Liu Wei was originally optimistic, but two days later, something happened that made him unhappy.

On the first day, Liu Wei successfully opened the mouths of Shi Ping and the prefect, allowing Gao Chong to hear that Shi Ping, or the Shi family, was actually used to bribe the prefect after the Jin soldiers occupied Bashu. During the right to live, Gao Chong almost drew his sword and killed the two of them!
Early the next morning, after Gao Chong supervised Yang Zaixing's morning class, he told Liu Wei that he was leaving.

The injuries to both legs have been healed, and now, Gaojiazhuang has established a firm foothold in Chengdu County, and even the entire Yizhou Prefecture. With the problems of the Shi family and the prefect of Yizhou, Gao Chong felt that it was time for him to leave Gaojiazhuang and find Yue Fei or Han Shizhong.

What he pursued was to serve the imperial court and to serve the country with loyalty. If he stayed in Yizhou City and Gaojiazhuang, he would never be able to realize his life ideal.

This time Liu Wei didn't stop Gao Chong, because Gao Yuniang had already tried, and Gao Jin had also tried, but it didn't work.

"Second brother, you must cherish this trip! I don't want to talk about the corruption of the court anymore, but you must keep in mind that if one day, when the court recalls General Yue with a golden token, you must Stop him, if you can't stop him, you yourself must not go back with General Yue, run, run back!"

These are the last words Liu Wei said to Gao Chong when he was parting.

Under the setting sun, Gao Chong rode on the road alone, his figure stretched infinitely by the setting sun.
