Chapter 47
I saw Master holding a note, hurried in with a stern expression, and handed it to the magistrate.

"Master, urgent report!"

Pei Jingyi took it, and the more he looked at it, the more dignified his face became, and finally he said slowly:
"Last night, the Jianping County Magistrate, County Magistrate, Lvying Officer and others were killed at home by an unidentified man and a woman because they refused to surrender to Shen Xuan. Their heads were cut off and hung on the eaves of the county government office, with the words "Murderer! King Ming" written on the side. The vanguard under his command, Yan Shuangying!"

When Lu Yushi heard this, he secretly felt bad, so he really came.

Upon hearing this, Cui Fengying said angrily: "This Shen Xuan is so rampant and dares to cross the county to assassinate the imperial officials. It is really abominable. However, it can be seen that this city is very deep and has already sent undercover people to the surrounding cities. Fortunately, we came early. "

When Pei Jingyi heard this, he shook his head: "That Shen Xuan's subordinate did not hide in the city, but entered the city and killed him. In the morning, someone found that the soldier on duty at night had his throat crushed and died at the top of the city."

"Although Jianping's city is not high, it is two feet tall, and there is a moat outside the gate. Even using flying claws requires extremely strong arms. Are all Shen Xuan's men so powerful?"

Pei Jingyi didn't speak, and took the urgent report in his hand to Cui Fengying.

"...There is only an iron claw mark on the battlement of the city wall. Two senior brothers, look at it based on this. Doesn't it mean that two of them have reached the peak of lightness kung fu?"

Both Pei and Lu nodded slowly.

Cui Fengying passed the letter paper to Lu Yushi again.

"If you look at it this way, then Shen Xuan is very likely to be among the few people. If he wins, this skill is enough for the second senior brother to enter the capital."

Seeing how happy his junior sister was, Pei Jingyi couldn't help but smile wryly.

"Hey! Junior sister is simple-minded, but she doesn't know that the entire Gaochun County has already fallen into the hands of Shen Xuan."

"Senior brother was joking. That's two thousand soldiers. I don't believe Shen Xuan has such strength."

Cui Fengying practiced martial arts in the mountains since she was a child, and never went through the world of mortals. She grew up under the wing of her master.

It sounds naive at best, naive at worst.

Of course, it’s not her fault, most people would think so.Or they think too highly of themselves and don’t believe that others have such strength.

Only those who know the inside story or have carefully analyzed it can see the extraordinary.

Seeing that neither of the two senior brothers spoke, Cui Fengying curled her lips: "If that Shen Xuan really has the ability, why would he do such things as assassination? Just attack the city and seize the pond."

Looking at the brothers and sisters who came to help him not far away, Pei Jingyi patiently explained.

"This is where Shen Xuan's intelligence lies."

"Oh!" Lu Yushi, who had already read the emergency report, didn't seem to see the key.

"Shen Xuan's rise is far beyond everyone's imagination. There must be super strength in it. But the Qing Dynasty has been cultivating for a hundred years, and now there is only the Battle of Xiaojinchuan in the southwest corner. It is far from enough to make the court look around. Difficult to care about. Once the Holy Majesty knows the truth, he will definitely use the military aircraft department to merge Jiangsu, Anhui, and even several provinces to encircle and suppress them."

At this time, Cui Fengying, who was always talkative, also closed her mouth and listened carefully.

Pei Jingyi took a sip of tea: "And that Shen Xuan, or the very powerful counselors around him, has already seen this, so after occupying the counties around Lishui, they set the goal of assassination, so that the court and local officials will be separated. Time to lose contact, resulting in chaos. Buy time! It really is a good strategy, powerful!"

Pei Jingyi had to admire Shen Xuan or the counselor behind him.

Sudden.

After pondering, the master at the side asked, "Master, can I interject a word?"

"Zhien, you and I are brothers, we don't need to see each other. Sit down and talk."

In ancient times, masters were counselors to officials. Their talents and IQs were not bad, but some people were not destined to be officials.

"Since Shen Xuan thought of assassinating county officials, why didn't he set fire to the city and cut off food supplies? Drive out the civilians and turn them into refugees. Leading to the complete erosion of the county town? And thus dragging down dozens of state capitals in six provinces around Suzhou? Did he not think of it, or did he not want to? ?”

Pei Jingyi glanced at his former classmate: "What do you think of Zhien?"

This sentence is actually a test of teaching, which is a kind of temptation among people with high IQs.Whether it is a hero or an ordinary person, they all like to be with their equals.This is human nature.

"Since Shen Xuan knew how to delay time and confuse the surrounding area, he must have known about this plan. I guess he just didn't want the civilians to be displaced and their lives would be ruined. I heard that after he occupied Lishui County, he only drove away the families of those who resisted. And Li Xinqing, the former magistrate of the county, surrendered Later, he was also appointed as the official of the parents. This shows that his mind is not a murderer. Otherwise, I am afraid that Ningguo Mansion will be besieged by tens of thousands of refugees before long. "

"I see. It's not that Shen Xuan can't occupy the city, but that he doesn't have enough troops."

Cui Fengying finally understood and interrupted suddenly.

Pei Jingyi has always doted on his junior sister, he just nodded in approval without uttering reprimands.

At this time, the magistrate of Ningguo Mansion quickly walked into the backyard and saluted: "Report to the Lord Mansion!"

"What's the matter?"

"Today, three men and one woman dressed in different clothes entered Xuanzhou on horseback. When they entered the city gate, the guides they gave were signed by the Jianping County Government, and then they took out the badges from the palace. I saw that there were differences between them. Come here to report."

The magistrate of Ningguo Mansion already knew what happened to the Jianping county government office this morning, so he asked the police to check and get the news.

"By the way, they are staying at the Anji Inn at this time, and they have requested three upper rooms."

After Cai Maoxue finished speaking, he took out the inn registration form from his sleeve;

The names of Shen Xuan, Yan Shuangying, Zheng Yashu, and Lin Xiaojiang were impressively written on it.

Pei Jing's prosthetic hand shook slightly and asked in a deep voice: "Did you alarm a few people?"

"No, after they had eaten in Laifulou, when they entered the inn, they told the waiter not to disturb you. They seemed very sleepy."

Several people present were almost certain that they were Shen Xuan's group who assassinated Jianping Magistrate and others.

"Sir, would you like to organize three squads of police officers at this time, notify the inspection department, and gather the village warriors for training?"

Obviously, the co-prefects of Ningguo Mansion also only have the identity of Shen Xuan and others.

But what he couldn't understand was that Shen Yan was so bold that he even dared to write his name when staying in a hotel.

In fact, it's not Shen Xuan's fault.

This is what Zheng Yashu wrote when she filled out the directions at the county government office.This is her style, otherwise she wouldn't be nicknamed a dancing girl.

In ancient times, it was generally necessary to guide the way to stay in the inn, otherwise the store would not dare to take it in.

It is equivalent to requiring an ID card to stay in a hotel in future generations.

Gaochun's [-] Green Battalion were completely annihilated in just a few days. I am afraid that no matter how many people gather, it will be useless.Besides, the Ningguo Mansion can't gather many people.

All the green camps have left.Do you have any superintendents, standards and other battalions?

Although Pei Jingyi thought so, he would not say it out loud.

Once this sentence is spoken, it will become a handle in the future.Although Tongzhi is a subordinate, he is also a political enemy.

If given the chance, he would dismount him and right himself.

Besides, once this kind of thing is involved, it will at least be a serious crime of confiscating the property and being exiled.

"Hmm! It's very necessary. However, if Shen Xuan dares to come here, he must have something to rely on. Does Mao Xue have any countermeasures?"

Pei Jingyi pushed the responsibility down again, the meaning was very clear.

Once meritorious service, it belongs to the magistrate.If something goes wrong, if you offer advice, you will become a scapegoat.

Cai Maoxue knew that Shangguan was playing tricks, but there was nothing he could do about it: "The lower officials thought that the crowd in the inn should be dismissed secretly, surrounded by crowds, and attacked with fire."

"Although this is a bad idea, it can only be like this. Mao Xue, go and prepare. Remember not to alert the enemy."

After Pei Jingyi finished speaking, he put away the inn register.

"Yes! Your Excellency." Cai Maoxue retreated after finishing speaking.
