Zheng Quan couldn't help but ask Song Jiyun: "Miss, is the situation bad?"

Song Jiyun pondered: "I hope I'm overthinking."

Brother Xu Guangzeng was able to win the trust of several emperors in a noble family and remain standing, which is why he was outstanding. She proposed that Xu Guangzeng should work with Yuan Yunzhong. Not only did he not object, but he also asked Xu Guangzeng to come to see her in person and promised her immediately. This shows that although the death of King Ning has not been spread, everyone who can know it knows it. .

Song Jiyun thought about whether he had missed anything.

But when their carriage left Shichahai, the streets were full of panicked people running around.

"The refugees mutinied!"

"They killed the guards at Fucheng Gate and burned down the Wanping County government office!"

Such exclamations came from time to time on the street!

Song Jiyun's face changed slightly, and he told Zheng Quan in a deep voice: "Hurry and leave!"

Zheng Quan and He Dazhi protected Song Jiuyun and returned to Xijiangmi Lane against the panicked crowd.

She got off the carriage with her front foot, and Yuan Yunzhong's carriage came back with her rear foot.

"Yun Duo!" He looked solemn, "I have received the imperial edict and must leave for Wanping County immediately. You stay with my grandfather, and you can go wherever he goes. Don't be arrogant. If you hear anything from me, Good news, don't act rashly. I will definitely come back to see you alive."

He said, hugged him hard, turned around and left. Song Jiyun didn't even have time to say a few words to him.

Song Jiyun worriedly took two steps forward to catch up, and saw Yuan Yunzhong hurried out while turning back and waving to her.

His clear eyes were bloodshot.

Like a boot dropped.

Song Jiyun breathed a long sigh of relief.

She smiled and waved to Yuan Yunzhong, indicating that he could go about his business in peace.

Yuan Yunzhong nodded to her fiercely, and then jumped onto the carriage at the entrance of the alley.

"Miss Song, it's up to you whether it's up to you!" Mr. Jinghu's voice suddenly came from behind Song Jiyun.

She did not look back, but looked at the empty alleyway, smiled lightly, and said, "Thank you for your love, it is a great honor!"

Yuan Yunzhong was guarded by personal guards and quietly left the city through Zhengyang Gate.

The Wanping County government office has now been occupied by refugees. The imperial court had previously sent Master Bai, the Minister of War, and Master Xiang, the Imperial Censor, to deal with the matter. They set up a temporary government office next to the Fucheng Gate to mobilize the emperor's twelve relatives. guard.

When he passed by, Mr. Bai and Mr. Xiang were sitting on the main seats with sullen faces, listening to the counselors beside them saying: "They have three thousand people in Wanping County and 15,000 people stationed in Wanping." Outside the county town, most of the remaining people gathered at the foot of Shijing Mountain, and some fled to Shunde Prefecture."

Seeing Yuan Yunzhong come in, the counselor immediately stopped talking and saluted respectfully.

Master Bai didn't move.

The Ministry of War advocated suppressing bandits from the beginning. If Yuan Yunzhong hadn't jumped out to rebel, they would have sent a large army to suppress it.

Master Xiang saw it, but he didn't dare to advance or retreat with Master Bai.

Yuan Yunzhong's great-grandfather observed politics in the Duchayuan when he was a Shujishi, and later served as the censor of the Duchayuan and the censor of Zuodu. Since then, the Yuan family has had children or old friends in the capital from time to time. After taking office in the procuratorate, the procuratorate has almost become a vegetable garden for the promotion of the Yuan family's children. He did not want to offend Yuan Yunzhong, who was a favorite of the emperor, a descendant of the Yuan family, and also served in the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

"Yunzhong!" He said affectionately, stood up and walked forward to greet him, "I've long heard that you were coming. I was still wondering when you would arrive, but I didn't expect that you would come at the critical moment. Please come and sit down. ." As he said this, he also motioned to his staff to personally bring an imperial chair over and asked Yuan Yunzhong to sit down.

When other people in the meeting hall saw this, either because of their position or because of their rank, they all stood up to greet Yuan Yunzhong. There was also an official who was really looking forward to Yuan Yunzhong's coming and said bluntly: "Master Yuan, it's a good thing you're here. Otherwise, if these 50,000 people continue to be killed, I'm afraid that my name will go down in history and I will become the second Bai Qi."

After saying that, he glanced at Master Bai with dissatisfaction.

Lord Bai, however, without even raising his eyes or eyebrows, said coldly, "Master Yuan is here," and then motioned to the counselor to continue reporting the information that the spies had found out.

The counselor looked at his nose and his heart, and said: "The part that fled to Shunde Prefecture for eight hundred miles hastily informed several guard posts near Shunde Prefecture, and they have sent people to clear them out. As for those who occupied the Wanping County Government Office , the commander-in-chief of Wanping Guard said that he would serve his crime and take down those bandits within three days. Only those who occupy the foot of Shijing Mountain are in trouble."

When he said this, he glanced at Yuan Yunzhong who was standing in the center of the room, and then continued, "If the Ministry of War wants to mobilize troops, it needs the Tiger Talisman from the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion. Now that the emperor advocates appeasement, the Ministry of War cannot get the Five Army Governor's Mansion. With the tiger talisman, there is no way to mobilize the nearby guards to suppress the bandits. The Twelve Guards are the emperor's personal guards. They can guard the entrance to the capital, but it is not appropriate to send them to Wanping to suppress the bandits."

Before he finished speaking, Lord Bai had already said with a hint of sarcasm: "Don't worry, Lord Yuan is here. How could the emperor be willing to put him in danger? Not to mention the Tiger Talisman of the Governor's Mansion of the Fifth Army, it is the Twelve Guards of the Personal Army. , Master Yuan’s deployment is a matter of just one word in front of the emperor."

The world has been at peace for a long time, and there is no military merit. What do the general soldiers of their military department eat and drink?

This wandering son of the Yuan family wanted to be the Bodhisattva with the world in mind, so he abruptly cut off their military department's way of making money.

Even including his promotion path.

There is no need for him to be polite to Yuan Yunzhong.

Yuan Yunzhong offended not one or two officials, but the entire military department and guards.

Master Bai sneered, picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea.

He and Yuan Yunzhong are both of the third rank, and the entire military department and guard station are standing behind them. Naturally, they dare to speak to Yuan Yunzhong, but others do not dare!

Everyone pretended not to hear.

The meeting hall instantly became silent.

Master Xiang couldn't help but curse in his heart.

If you, surnamed Bai, are dissatisfied, go to Jinluan Hall and tell them, why are you dragging them into the water?

He had no choice but to cough a few times and find a few words of praise for Yuan Yunzhong. Just as he was about to give Yuan Yunzhong a chance, Yuan Yunzhong asked the counselor calmly: "Who is responsible for inquiring about the refugees?"

The counselor quickly glanced at Mr. Bai, and saw that his eyes were half closed, looking disapproving, and said hurriedly: "It's a lower official."

Yuan Yunzhong calmly nodded and said: "Since some of the refugees are in the county government, some are at the foot of Shijing Mountain, and some have fled to Shunde Mansion, can you find out why these refugees are divided into three groups?"

The counselor said: "Before, they were all a ragtag group. Seeing that there was no profit in besieging the capital, they got into chaos, started disputes, and acted independently, splitting into three groups."

Yuan Yunzhong nodded, and just as he was about to say something, Master Bai suddenly said: "Master Yuan entered the Shujishi Hall with a gold medal at the age of fourteen, and patrolled Jiangxi. This is the first time Master Yuan has left the capital. Please explain clearly to Master Yuan, Don’t let Mr. Yuan not even know where Wanping and Shunde are.”

He was full of sarcasm, and everyone could tell that he was saying that Yuan Yunzhong was just talking on paper.

Everyone in the room lowered their heads.

Yuan Yunzhong seemed not to have heard anything and continued: "Who are the leaders of these three groups? What are their origins? Why did some go to Shunde Mansion, some occupied Wanping County Government, and some gathered at the foot of Shijing Mountain? Have you checked everything out?"

The counselor was stunned.

They really haven't checked carefully. Who are the leaders of these three groups?

He looked towards Lord Bai for help.

Yuan Yunzhong asked again: "The imperial court occasionally gave porridge to the fifty thousand refugees in the past. Where did they get food after they rebelled?"

Everyone in the room opened their mouths.

Including Lord Bai.
