Chapter 225 Catch Guo Ziyi's son again!
Chapter 235 Catch Guo Ziyi's son again!
Early the next morning, Zhang Xuan led his army straight into Lingzhou City under the escort of Guo Ziyi and others.

The gates of Lingzhou City were opened, and more than 1 soldiers and horses of the direct line under the banner of Guo Ziyi stationed in the east and west camps outside Lingzhou City lined up to welcome the new governor and his party. Very warm.

Although there are factors behind Guo Ziyi's arrangement, it also reflects the supreme authority of the Tang court over the local vassals.

It can be said that, except for Fanyang Town in Anlu Mountain, the authority of the Tang court is quite "effective" in any vassal town.

Zhang Xuan did not disturb the people, and quietly led the crowd into Lingzhou City. Immediately afterwards, Zhang Xuan entered the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, and the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion issued the first notice at the same time, which was Zhang Xuan's first government and military order in Longshuo.

The content of the announcement is very simple, it is to announce that in order to relieve the burden of the people, the construction of the Metropolitan Government will be abandoned, and all the hundreds of craftsmen and thousands of civilian laborers who were recruited before will be released.

As soon as the news came out, Lingzhou City shook.

The people in the whole city rushed to tell each other, rejoicing.A governor who loves the power of the people and loves the people like a son knows how to sympathize with the hardships of the people, and can win the support of the people at the bottom most.

With this notice plastered all over the city of Lingzhou, the reputation of Zhang Xuan, the governor, began to spread far and wide.

After Guo Ziyi got the news, he was speechless for a long time, and it took him a long time to sigh to Hou Yanliang, "General Dudu Zhang is really different, he is successful in his youth but not frivolous, he is high and powerful but not easy and happy, his vision is far-sighted, and he loves the power of the people, which is admirable. "

Hou Yanliang smiled slightly, but took the initiative to change the topic and said, "Guo Shuai, the second son has been detained. From the point of view of the lower officials, it is better for the lower officials to come forward and connect with all civil and military colleagues in Lingzhou to ask for a favor from the governor. it is good?"

Guo Ziyi was taken aback, and his face changed suddenly, "No way! No way! If everyone begs for favors together, Governor Zhang must feel disgusted, and this is really the last chance to kill Guo Min."

The corner of Hou Yanliang's mouth twitched, and he said in a low voice, "Guo Shuai, if I just sit back and do nothing, acting like Zhang Dadudu, the second son will be in danger this time."

Guo Ziyi sighed deeply, and said resolutely, "I have been in the army for more than ten years, and I have never dared to bend the law for personal gain. I would rather give up this evil son, and I will never damage my reputation and exterminate myself from the court!"

Hou Yanliang shook his head secretly and said nothing more.

He has followed Guo Ziyi for many years, and knowing Guo Ziyi's temperament, it is useless to talk more, so it is better not to talk.

Looking at Hou Yanliang's lonely back, Guo Ziyi sighed inwardly: This old man sees that the governor of the capital is soft and not hard. If everyone "forces the palace", it will definitely cause his backlash, and maybe even the old man will be involved. Why bother?

Guo Ji, you bastard!It was a waste of the old man's painstaking efforts to cultivate, and now he has ended up like this.Guo Ziyi tossed the sleeves of her robe resentfully, fell down on the couch, and fell asleep with her clothes on.

It has to be said that Guo Ziyi really guessed Zhang Xuan's personality.For the sake of the big plan, Zhang Xuan was going to leave a way out for Guo Ji, because if Guo Ji was really killed, there would definitely be an irreparable rift between him and Guo Ziyi.But if Guo Ziyi instructs Lingzhou generals and civil officials to "threat" Zhang Xuan, Zhang Xuan will definitely fight back decisively.

And Guo Ji will definitely become a victim.

……

……

The news that Guo Min was brought to justice by the governor of the capital and will be severely punished soon spread in Guo's family, which naturally caused some disturbances.

The family members of the Guo family were in a panic, but Guo Ziyi's wife dared not open her mouth to intercede for her son.

Brothers Guo Yao and Guo Shi gathered together to discuss secretly.

"Brother, I can't wait any longer. If you wait any longer, the second brother will definitely die." Guo Chen waved his hand and sneered, "We can't just watch the second brother die!"

"I didn't expect that Zhang Xuan would not give our Guo family any face, it is simply unreasonable!"

Guo Yao frowned, "Third Brother, what do you think should be done?"

"Brother, you can simply do one thing and keep on doing the other - the second brother was imprisoned in the Lingzhou government office, why don't we go and release the second brother secretly, then escape from Lingzhou together, and go to Chang'an to beg His Royal Highness Yuzhen to beg in front of His Royal Highness the Prince Jian Guo Personal favor." Guo Chen gritted his teeth viciously.

Guo Yao's complexion changed drastically, and he waved his hands again and again, "Nonsense! Escaping from prison under a felony is a capital offense. Besides, even if you let your second brother go, the father and his family are still in Lingzhou. At that time, the governor will be furious Under the circumstances, wouldn't it implicate the father commander and the whole family?"

"Father marshal bound son to plead guilty, he has done the most benevolent, what else does Zhang Xuan want?" Guo Chen sneered, "Brother, in this way, you have no right to do so, let me rescue second brother, and then we two brothers rushed to the capital , to seek His Highness Yuzhen’s help. That Zhang Xuan will definitely not blame his father for this, even if there is something to blame, what else can he do when the court’s order is issued?"

Guo Yao still shook his head hesitantly.

The relationship between Guo Ziyi and Princess Yuzhen Li Chiying is extraordinary. Li Chiying has always taken good care of the Guo family. At this time, Guo Chen proposed to flee to Chang'an to seek Yuzhen's help, but he was not out of his mind.

It’s just that Guo Chen doesn’t know that the current Princess Yuzhen is no longer His Royal Highness Yuzhen. The princess still has power, and Zhang Xuan is not afraid of her.

If Guo Chen knew that Princess Yuzhen, the big backer in his eyes, could no longer turn a wolf in front of Zhang Xuan, even if he was killed, he would not dare to have such crazy thoughts.

"Third Brother, this matter is inappropriate. If the father marshal binds the son to plead guilty, the governor may not necessarily kill him. Let's wait and see."

Guo Fu, who had been silent all this time, suddenly interjected softly.

Guo Chen sneered, "Zhang Xuan made it clear that he wanted to use our Guo family to gain prestige. This is a clear thing. Now that the second brother committed a crime and it happened to fall into his hands, how could he not take the opportunity to make trouble? I think he not only wants to The second elder brother is going to kill him, and he wants to seize the military power of the father commander!"

"Li Guangbi's dismissal and investigation by Zhang Xuan is a living example. Li Guangbi's fate is a lesson for his father. Maybe he will attack his father in a short time! At that time, our Guo family will still be finished!"

"The left and right are dead ends, it's better to risk your life!"

Guo Chen walked away with a ruthless sentence, "Forget it, a good man does what a good man does, and I will do it alone, without involving my family! Tonight, my second brother and I will escape from Lingzhou. Big brother, little sister, you guys will do it in the future." Tell parents and adults, just treat it as if we don't have our two sons!"

Guo Yao got up abruptly, stretched out his hands to stop him, but sighed weakly, his eyes wavering a little.

Compared to letting Guo Yan wait to die, Guo Yao still felt that he might still have a chance if he took the risk and went to Chang'an for help.

Guo Fuliu frowned tightly, stood up and looked at Guo Chen's leaving back in silence.

……

……

At night, the moon is dark and the wind is high.

Guo Shi sneaked into the prison of Lingzhou government office with several trusted soldiers.

Guo Ziyi is the prefect of Lingwu, and the administrative affairs of this Lingzhou are all controlled by Guo Ziyi, so the government office is almost equal to their own back garden for the Guo family.Guo Xi used the pretense of visiting Guo Min, how dare the gate guards stop the third son.

The light in the prison was very dim.Guo Min was locked in the outermost room. He was lying on the straw mat and drowsy, but when he heard the sound of someone breaking in, he opened his eyes and saw that it was his third younger brother and several people holding torches and weapons. rushed in.

Guo Yan was shocked, turned over and sat up, lowered his voice and said in a deep voice, "Third brother, what are you doing?"

"Second brother, my younger brother is going to rescue you now...it's not too late, don't hesitate, Zhang Xuan has already let out rumors that he will kill you and send your head to the royal court of Huihe... instead of sitting and waiting to die , why don’t we escape together and go to Chang’an to seek His Majesty Yuzhen’s help. As long as His Majesty Yuzhen says a few good words in front of His Majesty, you can save your life, second brother!”

Guo Chen hurriedly said while ordering people to open the cell door.

Guo Min trembled in shock. Although he was worried about his own life and guessed that Zhang Xuan would not spare him, he really had no thought of escaping from prison.

"Second brother, why are you still hesitating? Do you want to stay in Lingzhou and wait to die? It's better to live than to die. Let's go to Chang'an first. If His Royal Highness Yuzhen refuses to help, it will be a big deal that we two brothers will wander around the world from now on. Better than losing your life!"

Guo Chen tugged at Guo Min's arm and said softly.

"But, Commander-in-law's side... If we escape, how will Commander-in-law explain to the governor?"

"This matter has nothing to do with Father Commander. He can do nothing about Father Commander. Father Commander has been in Longshuo for many years. If he really wants to attack Father Commander, I am afraid that the soldiers under Father Commander will not agree! Besides, as long as we go to Chang'an and ask Favors, Father Marshal is naturally safe and sound!"

Guo Xi hesitated, but in the end he was still desperate for his life, so he was dragged and half pushed by Guo Chen and sneaked out of the Lingzhou government prison.

However, just as the group of people left the prison, they suddenly heard a soft reprimand, and immediately the lights were brightly lit, and more than a hundred sturdy soldiers holding torches, bows and arrows appeared in all directions, surrounding the way out.

The first general, with a slender figure in fresh armor and an extraordinary heroic spirit, was Nan Jiyun.

Nan Jiyun raised the sword in his hand, pointed at Guo Min and the others and said calmly, "General Guo is not staying in the prison, he just ran out like this, how can the last general explain to the governor?"

"It's over, this time, it's completely over..." Guo Yan's face changed suddenly, and immediately became extremely pale.His legs went limp, his eyes became dizzy, and he fell to the ground.

Guo Chen, on the other hand, pulled out his saber with a grim face, and leaned his back against the corner of the wall, ready to resist.

Nan Jiyun looked at Guo Ziyi's third son playfully, and suddenly shouted, "Take it! If you dare to resist, you will be killed!"
