Chapter 365: The Army
As soon as the lock was locked, the faces of several people in the room turned pale.
If they were just suspicious before, now that the lock has been put down, all the suspicions have become facts.
"Fuck! It's so disgusting. How can a Duke do such a thing?" The owner of Jinxiu Cloth Shop spat, turned around and sat on the chair with a frown, picked up the teacup beside him and was about to bring it to his mouth, but his anger got the better of him, so he picked up the cup and smashed it to the ground.
A shop owner nearby was so anxious that his eyes were blazing with anger. "Is he going to kill us to silence us so that he can keep all the money? We don't want it. No one cares about this money at all."
"He won't be killed. He will probably just be placed under house arrest. Wait until the Su army outside leaves or is dealt with by him, and then he will come back to deal with us." The owner of Jinxiu Cloth Shop had a gloomy face.
"It's not the first or second time that we have teamed up with the government to donate money, why are we so unlucky this time!"
Ji Yun looked at these people, and sighed solemnly, "I'm afraid we are really in trouble this time. No matter whether the Su family army wins or Duke Xue wins, we won't be able to get our money back.
The Su family army won. Do we dare to tell our superiors about the donation fraud?
Then you have to suffer in silence.
However, even if I suffered a loss in silence, at least I can leave a good reputation.
If Duke Xue wins, I'm afraid we will end up in an even worse situation. If he doesn't punish us now, he won't be able to deal with us until he has time. Tsk, I don't dare to think about it."
When Ji Yun mentioned this, the already ugly faces of several merchants suddenly became even uglier.
"What can we do? We can't just sit there and wait for death. This guy is so desperate that he can do anything!"
Ji Yun said: "I don't know about you. Anyway, before I left, I told my family that if I couldn't go back, they should find a way to contact the Su family army."
As he spoke, Ji Yun clasped his fists to the shopkeepers and said, "I'm sorry, brothers. If I hadn't come to you, this wouldn't have happened. At most, your money would have gone down the drain, but at least your life wouldn't have been in danger."
The owner of Jinxiu Cloth Shop waved his hand.
"That's not the case. Even if we don't want it now, he won't be able to give us the money after he solves the problem of the Su family army and the flood here is over.
That is not a small amount of money. He might not be able to come up with it by scrounging it here and there. Moreover, even if he could, he might not be willing to take it.
Killing someone is a one-time solution. He gets nothing for nothing and loses nothing. If it were you, would you be willing to sell your own property to pay off the debt?"
No one could respond to his words.
That's the truth.
Someone beat his chest and stamped his feet, "Boss Ji is really thoughtful. How could I forget to tell my family before I came here? It's really... Ugh! What's going on? What should we do now? We have to think of a solution."
Everyone in the room fell silent.
What do you think of the solution?
They were locked up by Duke Xue. Not to mention that it was difficult to escape from this huge mansion, there were so many experts around Duke Xue. How could they escape just by saying so?
Besides, let’s take a step back and say that even if he ran away, then what?
Where can you run to?
The Su family soldiers outside can't get in. Can they be more powerful than the Su family soldiers?
Everyone, at the same time, turned their thoughts to the Su family army.
Ji Yun didn't say much and just stayed with everyone.
Duke Xue left here and went to Xu Kefeng in anger.
He and Xu Kefeng are one. Xu Kefeng's granary was destroyed, the stored grain was damaged, and his money was stolen. He must explain all these to Xu Kefeng.
Then things can be arranged later.
But when Duke Xue hurried to Xu Kefeng's residence, he was dumbfounded.
Xu Kefeng is not here.
"Where is your master?" Duke Xue, his temple throbbing and veins popping out on his forehead, grabbed an attendant of Xu Kefeng and shouted.
The attendant was frightened by Duke Xue's momentum and said tremblingly: "Our master has led the troops out of the city!"
The Governor-General of Guangdong and Guangxi naturally has troops under his command.
Upon hearing this, Duke Xue almost fell over in anger, "Is he crazy? Leading troops out of the city, he is going out of the city to die!"
With his fists clenched tightly, Duke Xue pushed the follower away, turned around and walked out.
Outside the city.
Xu Kefeng led his troops and surrounded Su Qingqing's military camp in a mighty manner.
The refugees housed in the military camp had never seen such a scene before. They were all ordinary people and were so frightened that their legs went limp.
"Su's army, listen up! You've been surrounded. You'd better hand over the murderer who destroyed the relief supplies, otherwise don't blame us for not caring about our comrades-in-arms!"
Xu Kefeng's men shouted to Su's army.
Su Qingqing changed into a set of armor and came out of the tent.
The Su family soldiers lined up neatly in two rows to make way for her.
Su Qingqing arrived at a place two hundred meters ahead of Xu Kefeng.
"Xu Kefeng, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, did not do his job. The flood broke out, the flood control failed, and he rebelled against his superiors and besieged the queen. Do you want to rebel?"
Jixiang followed Su Qingqing and angrily scolded Xu Kefeng.
Xu Kefeng's expression became cold for a moment. He relied on the fact that he had more people and that the Su family army had acted unreasonably in today's incident.
No matter what, that was food. He had a hundred reasons to explain to his soldiers that the food was used to save the lives of the people in the city at the critical moment, and it was destroyed by the Su family army.
These soldiers know nothing!
Riding on a tall horse, Xu Kefeng said coldly, "Queen? Where did the Queen come from? I only know that there is a rebellious army here that failed in its attempt to offend the superiors!"
Do you think that since we are thousands of miles away from Kyoto, we don't know that you were plotting to murder the emperor and rebel in Kyoto?
You know what's best for you, hurry up and..."
Before Xu Kefeng could finish his words, two generals behind Su Qingqing directly waved the flags in their hands.
This big flag has never been used by Su Qingqing since she came to the Great Yan Kingdom, no matter what her identity is. This is the first time it sees the light of day again after two years.
The wolf-head flag of the Su family army.
As soon as the flag was waved, the people behind Xu Kefeng immediately became a commotion.
Seeing that his troops were thrown into disarray just because of a large flag from the other side, Xu Kefeng was a little panicked, but he tried his best to hold back, "Come on, capture this traitor who is plotting to murder His Majesty. I will report this to , and His Majesty will reward you handsomely!"
After he said this, no one responded.
The general behind Su Qingqing shouted at the top of his voice.
"Listen, brothers on the opposite side. You are all familiar with the Wolf Head Flag. This is the direct flag of the Su Family Army. You all know that only the direct troops of the Su Family Army can get this flag.
Don’t you believe in the military discipline of the Su family army?
Among the brothers, there are many who have retired from the Su family army.
If you are willing to come back, the Su Army will open its doors to welcome you home. If you are unwilling to come back, we may have to fight each other later."
Boom!
