Volume 2 Clouds Chapter 49 You're so cruel
"Who, who cares about you!"
Two red clouds floated on Fu Qing'er's pretty face, and her tone became a little unnatural.
Luo Youdu was slightly startled, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he smiled and said: "Shi Shouxin is a man who clearly distinguishes between gratitude and resentment, and has a straightforward personality. He still hates me because of the Wang Jixun case, which is obvious. However, this man is extremely strong and powerful, and he is very good at urging evil to defeat the enemy. If he is really killed, it will be a great loss to my Great Zhou."
In his memory, Shi Shouxin was the chief of the brave generals under Zhao Kuangyin. In the following Battle of Huainan, he was in the front line, went down Liuhe, entered Wokou, and conquered Yangzhou, and was among the people with the best performance.
When Zhao Kuangyin put on the yellow robe, the two major warlords Li Yun and Li Chongjin were dissatisfied. It was Shi Shouxin who led his troops to defeat the two and consolidate the foundation of the Song Dynasty.
He may be reckless, but like Zhang Fei, his ability in fighting is unquestionable.
Of course, letting Shi Shouxin go was not for the sake of the Great Zhou, but because Shi Shouxin would be the most powerful stepping stone for him to gain the favor of Wu Chen.
Just imagine, if even a man like Shi Shouxin could be intimidated, who among the military officials would dare to stand up and cause trouble?
Of course, the most crucial point is that Shi Shouxin was a member of the Ten Brothers of Zhao Kuangyin's Righteous Society and the greatest contributor to the Chenqiao Rebellion. Inciting him to rebel was equivalent to cutting off one of Zhao Kuangyin's arms.
Gold will always shine. In the following Battle of Huainan, no one could stop the rise of Zhao Kuangyin.
Given Zhao Kuangyin's popularity, it would not be easy to shake his power once he rose to power.
Now is the best time to have the opportunity.
Of course, I can't tell anyone about all this, and I can only appear to be tolerant and generous.
What is this called?
This is called the demeanor of a prime minister.
Fu Qing'er said angrily, "I won't talk to you anymore. Be careful. People are treacherous, not everyone knows how to repay kindness. The most common thing in this world is Zhongshan wolves."
Luo Youdu smiled calmly and said, "Don't worry, Madam Fu Er. I dare to indulge Shi Shouxin, so I naturally have the means to control him. Shi Shouxin is just a mere criterion. If he can't even pass this test, how can he bear the heavy trust of His Majesty?"
What's the big deal about killing a Shi Shouxin? If a man like Zhao Kuangyin fell into his hands, he would either kill him directly or write the word "Luo" backwards.
Seeing Luo Youdu's demeanor of planning and controlling the situation in Fengzhou, Fu Qing'er thought of his magical method of forcing Shu to surrender with a small brigade of the imperial court without any soldiers. Her heart skipped a beat and she said, "I, I'm leaving!"
She looked like she was about to flee.
Luo Youdu looked at Fu Qing'er's back, thinking about her cute yet heroic appearance, and felt a little distracted.
"Second Madam, why are you running?"
Feng Zhu followed behind and called out.
Fu Qing'er said stubbornly, "Whoever ran away, I just don't want to bother with him."
Feng Zhu said, "I have inquired about it. It was Han Lingkun who dragged Luo Xianggong to Cuixianglou, but it was not his intention. In the end, Luo Xianggong dragged Han Lingkun and escaped from Cuixianglou."
Fu Qing'er raised her lips slightly and said, "What does it have to do with me?"
Feng Zhu smiled and said, "You are chasing me so hard, why don't you go buy a gift for His Highness?"
Fu Qing'er saw that he had completely forgotten the important matter and hurriedly said, "Go, why not go."
Luo Youdu returned to Kaifeng Prefecture, and Zhang Jin came up to him and whispered, "The prison has already been informed."
Luo Youdu nodded slightly.
He handed the matter over to the Ministry of Justice for handling, and he completely shirked responsibility, being absolutely fair and impartial, leaving no room for fault.
Actually everything is under control.
Chang Side of the Imperial Camp and Wang Baoxing of the Iron Cavalry Camp had a fight in a tavern, but neither side caused any casualties, only minor skin injuries, and no innocent people were hurt.
It's just that he caused trouble in public and his image was a little bad.
There was no way the Ministry of Justice would offend himself and Shi Shouxin for such a small matter.
In all likelihood, a big thing will be reduced to a small one, and the troublemakers will just pay some money and be locked up in jail for a few days.
The prison cells of the Ministry of Justice are for detaining serious criminals. It is obviously not suitable to detain Chang Side and Wang Baoxing. There is a 90% chance that they will be arranged to the central prison in the city.
The yamen runners of Kaifeng Prefecture had been dealing with the central prison for a long time and had already formed a network of relationships, so it was easy to ask them for help.
The Ministry of Justice quickly gave a verdict.
Just as Luo Youdu had expected, both sides were given fifty lashes and imprisoned for five days, and no one was offended.
Five days later.
Luo Youdu brought Zhang Qiong to the Central Prison to pick someone up.
Coincidentally, Shi Shouxin also came here in person to pick someone up.
They occupied the left and right sides clearly and ignored each other.
Chang Side and his eleven companions walked out of the prison in high spirits. When they saw Luo Youdu and Zhang Qiong outside, they hurriedly stepped forward, saluted and greeted them, saying, "Greetings to the Commander-in-Chief, Captain Zhang ."
Luo Youdu patted Chang Side on the shoulder and said, "Thank you for your hard work. I'm sorry for the injustice."
Chang Side was flattered and said, "We had fights with others at the docks in the early years, and going to jail was common. It's just like going home, it's no big deal."
As they were talking, Wang Baoxing and a dozen other people came out. Each of them looked like a dried eggplant, wilted and unable to walk steadily.
Shi Shouxin's eyes flashed with anger, and he said, "What happened? Were you bullied in there?"
Wang Baoxing said with a bitter face: "We were not bullied, but there were three crazy people next door who took turns yelling all day long and didn't let us sleep at all."
Shi Shouxin said: "Then you didn't ask to change the place."
"We changed it. The prison boss gave us a quieter one. It would have been fine if we hadn't changed it, but it was even worse after we changed it. There were mosquitoes everywhere. I was bitten at least a hundred times in just one night. The prison boss changed our cell again, but for some reason, I got a rash on my body. It itched all over my body, and I also had diarrhea. I haven't had a good night's sleep for five days. My whole body is still itchy. Captain, I can't hold it back any longer... Excuse me..."
His face changed and he turned back to the prison to solve his physiological problem.
His legs were so weak that he staggered when he ran and almost fell down.
Seeing his soldiers treated like this, Shi Shouxin gnashed his teeth and said, "Luo Youdu, you are so cruel."
Luo Youdu asked from a distance: "Why do you say that, Principal Shidu?"
Shi Shouxin held back and said nothing.
The last time he broke into Kaifeng Prefecture, Zhao Kuangyin explained the interests involved to him in a painstaking manner.
Shi Shouxin was a little frightened at heart, and did not dare to make any noise for the moment.
Besides, he also realized that Luo Youdu was a cruel and cunning person, and he would not leave any evidence even when he was playing tricks on people.
I know very well that he has something to do with all this, but he just stays away from it. I really can't do anything about him.
If your tooth is broken, you can only swallow it yourself.
Zhang Qiong looked at the group of soldiers who could hardly stand steadily, and imitated the women by twisting his hips as he walked.
His fat body shook when he twisted his body.
"Let's go!"
Luo Youdu laughed and kicked him, then led everyone out of the prison.
When Luo Youdu arrived at the Imperial Camp, he was summoned by Guo Rong before he could even sit down.
