Competing

Chapter 28
At noon, at the gate of Fanyi County.

Several villagers pushed several carts into the city, and the soldiers guarding the city routinely checked and found that the carts were full of grain.Then he casually asked, "Who are you waiting for? Where are you sending the food? Why are you entering the city now?"

A frail man in the lead, like a teacher, stepped forward and said politely: "We are servants of Mr. Peng's family in the south of the city. Today, we are going to the village in Donghu Town to bring some grain back. Because the road is still muddy not long after the rain, Therefore, the trip was delayed, and the return was late, but luckily the gate of the city has not been closed yet."

"Master Peng's family?" The soldiers knew that Master Peng was a well-known big family in Panyi County, who had farms in several nearby towns, so it was normal to transport some grain.Then he saw that the wheels were covered with mud, and what he said was true, so he let them pass.

When the convoy walked away, a soldier looked back, rubbed the back of his head and muttered in his heart: Why do these vehicles look so familiar?Seeing his expression, a person next to him teased and said: "What are you looking at? You are envious of the wealth of the Peng family? Let me tell you the way. I heard that there is a young lady in the Peng family who is of marriageable age. Fight for it!"

"Haha!" The guards at the gate of the city burst into laughter.

After pushing the cart into the city, the leading scribe man heaved a sigh of relief, turned around and said to a man pushing the cart, "My lord, you've entered the city, what should you do now?"

The clerk raised his head, and it was Yin Xu under the brim of his hat, needless to say that the scribe servant was Gao Yi.In the morning, he robbed Zhang Gongcao's food convoy on the mountain road, and what was even more exciting was that he accidentally discovered a letter written by the county captain Chen Kui to the left school captain An Tong.Report on Wu Rui, the county magistrate of Fanyi, for being a gangster with evil intentions!

Yin Xu thought about it carefully, and remembered the history books he had read in his previous life. After the Daze Township Uprising, Yingbo was the first to join forces with Wu Rui to fight against Qin.And now Yingbo is with him, and he has intercepted a whistleblowing letter concerning Wu Rui's family and life. Can these things be put to good use?
What Yin Xu thought was to directly instigate Wu Rui to fight against Qin. With this letter and the previous contact with Fan Qing, as well as some understanding of Wu Rui in the past and present.In fact, Wu Rui's willingness to let An Tong pass through the border without telling An Tong was a signal in itself, so he was [-]% sure.

But there must be a premise-Chen Sheng and Wu Guang have risen in Daze Township, and the heroes of the Central Plains have won Liang Jingcong.Only in this way can Wu Rui have the possibility and reason to raise troops.Otherwise, is it possible for him to rebel alone in a small border county?What's more, with more than 3 troops from the left and right captains of the Qin Army looking around, wouldn't they be looking for their own death.

It's already more than July now, and I don't know what's going on in Daze Township?In ancient times, news was blocked, and Jiangdong and the Central Plains were far away, so it was difficult to get news in a short time.Yin Xu remembered that the uprising in Daze Township probably happened in July, when Chen Sheng, Wu Guang and others went to Yuyang to defend. They passed by Daze Township and encountered continuous heavy rain, so they missed the deadline.

The law of Qin stipulated that if the guard was late, he would be punished with death, so Chen Sheng and others had no choice but to rise up.That's right, the rainy season this year is extraordinarily long, from midsummer to autumn, and now it's over, and the days are almost the same based on time alone.

The inference is so, but what about the fact?Yin Xu was not sure.You must know that there are many discrepancies in the records of ancient history books. The so-called mistakes can be thousands of miles away.If you are not careful, you will be doomed forever.

But the great opportunity is right in front of you, and it cannot be missed.After Yin Xu thought over and over again, he decided to take a risk.After discussing with Yingbo, he decided to sneak into Fanyi secretly to meet Wu Rui and lobby for rebellion.

It's just about Daze Township, you can't tell Yingbo directly, right?I had to devise a little trick, inferring that Fan Qing sent news that the guards in the Central Plains had rebelled, and the prosperity was great.As for the identity of the Anti-Qing, because the identity of the girl in purple is mysterious and special, it is inconvenient for Yin Xu to say more.It is only said that he offended Zhao Gao and escaped from the nobles of Xianyang in the south of Lingnan.

Since Fan Qing is a member of the nobles in Xianyang, it is reasonable to get the news first, and Ying Bu believed it.A great opportunity is in front of him. Yingbo is a hero with great ambitions. He immediately agreed with Yin Xu's proposal and lobbied against Wu Rui, the county magistrate of Fanyi.

Therefore, Yin Xu arranged for Zhou Da and Lu Ming to clean up the corpses of the grain guards and transport the grain.And he, Yingbu, Pu Jun, Gao Yi and several nimble bandits sneaked into Fanyi County under disguise.

Entering the city safely is the first step, and you have to find an opportunity to meet Wu Rui, Yin Xu ordered: "Find a secluded place to settle down first, and look for an opportunity to act at night."

"Yes!"

……

As night falls, the autumn night breeze is slightly cool.

Three vigorous figures quickly passed through the county seat of Fanyi and touched the county government office. Needless to say, they were Yin Xu, Ying Bu, and Pu Jun.The frail Gao Yi took the others and temporarily hid in a dilapidated courtyard.Doing things at night is not beautiful when there are many people.

The three people at the top of the wall a few feet high looked at nothing directly, and flew past as if they were walking on flat ground.The backyard was very quiet, and the main room in the center was lit with lights. In ancient times, there was a distinction between superiority and inferiority. The main room must be Wu Rui's residence.

Yin Xu and the other three sneaked in, only to see a tall and straight man leaning on the cabinet in the corner, as if he was looking for something.

"I've seen County Magistrate Wu!" Looking at his back, Yin Xu only said it was Wu Rui, and said hello directly.He believed that Wu Rui, a hero of his generation, would not act rashly, let alone shout out.If not, he wouldn't be the Wu Rui who could become King of Hengshan and King of Changsha.

The tall and straight man was shocked, and when he turned around, he was a young man with a weak crown, with a flustered expression, obviously he couldn't be the middle-aged Wu Rui.Yin Xu was shocked, and secretly blamed himself for being careless for not finding out the identity of the place first.If the young man yelled out in panic, would he be able to escape unscathed tonight?At least lobbying has been wasted after all.

Fortunately, Yingbo reacted very quickly, and rushed forward one step ahead, with the tip of the sword resting on the young man's waist, he said, "Don't make a sound, or your life will be in danger!"

The young man saw the figures of the three masked men clearly, instead of panicking, he calmly asked in a low voice: "Who are these people? What is the purpose of breaking into the county government office at night?"

Yin Xu said: "Your Excellency is the son of Wu Chen?"

This young man is Wu Rui's eldest son, Wu Chen. Because of his previous speech failure, Wu Rui stopped him from studying and was not allowed to go out.In the past few months, Wu Rui was really uncomfortable at home, and really wanted to go out for a walk.However, the goalkeeper only recognizes Wu Rui's badge, which makes him very depressed.So taking advantage of Wu Rui's absence at night, he sneaked into the room and stole the token.

Yin Xu didn't know him, but he just heard Zhang Gongcao say Wu Chen's approximate age and appearance, so he tried to test it out, not wanting to make a mistake.

A trace of surprise flashed in Wu Chen's eyes, and he asked, "Do you recognize me? Who are you?"

Yin Xu shook his head and said: "It doesn't matter who I am, and it doesn't matter how I know you, the important thing is that I have something very urgent to see your father."

"Meet my father?"

"Yes!" Yin Xu said solemnly: "It's about your father and son's life, honor and wealth. Please cooperate with me."

"Ah?" Wu Chen was a little surprised, looking at Yin Xu's solemn expression, he felt that these words were not alarmist.Just why?He knew that even if he asked, there would be no answer, so he said: "My father is going to the Chen County Wei's house for a banquet, and I'm afraid he won't be back until later!"

"Going to Chen County Wei's house for a banquet?" Yin Xu was shocked, with cold sweat running down his back.Chen Kui is inviting Wu Rui, obviously it's a Hongmen banquet, what good intentions can there be?I'm afraid that Wu Rui's going will be bad luck!Isn't your plan...

At this moment, footsteps sounded outside, Ying Bu put the blade on Wu Chen's neck, and looked at the door quietly.A middle-aged man pushed the door and entered, and was shocked when he saw the situation in the room.

"Father!" Wu Chen spoke first.

The person who came was Wu Rui, the magistrate of Panyi County. Looking at the shining sword blade on Ai'er's neck, Wu Rui already understood what happened.

Seeing that Wu Rui came back safely, Yin Xu was overjoyed and thought to himself: It's okay, it's okay!Standing up and walking in front of Wu Rui, he bowed respectfully and said, "Master Wu, please forgive me. It is unavoidable to blackmail your son for visiting late at night. I have important matters to discuss with Master Wu. Please sit down and talk."
