Chapter 104: Officials and Thieves


Chapter 104 Official Thief Those Mongolian soldiers were extremely fierce.

When they saw the merchants and porters on the shore who had no time to escape, they immediately surrounded them on horseback and tied them aside without any explanation.

When they saw horse-drawn carriages or ox-carts pulling goods, they immediately stabbed them with spears and daggers.

At that time, blood flowed all over the ground on both sides of the canal, and the cries shook the sky.

All boats, large and small, in the river were stopped for inspection.

The Korean servants carrying swords kept saying that they were on guard against any Red Turban spies reporting to Xuzhou, but in fact their eyes were fixed on the purse of the ship boss.

Anyone who can come up with enough money to satisfy the officers and soldiers will be treated as an obedient citizen.

Those who were slightly unhappy with the money were thrown into the water with a knife, and the entire ship's belongings were confiscated as stolen goods.

Lu Lu once saw with his own eyes that less than fifty steps in front of him, a boat exactly like the one he was riding in was overturned by the crazy Mongolian soldiers.

All the passengers, young and old, who wore them ate "noodles".

He didn't dare to think about it, so he immediately raised his voice and shouted to the shore: "Brother Canghai, I am Brother Canghai, Lu Shanzhi, the envoy of Huainan Xuanwei.

We had a drink together three months ago.

Have you forgotten?

Is it done?”

"My lord is the Huainan Xuanwei Envoy.

My lord is the Huainan Xuanwei Envoy.

I drank wine with your marshal, and we are good brothers who drank and listened to the theater together with your marshal."

Several servants were also scared out of their wits.

Shout at the top of your lungs.

Those Korean servants who were "inspecting" passing ships in small boats could not understand Chinese.

When they heard someone shouting for help, they immediately rushed over.

The Mongolian horse teams who were burning, killing and looting on both sides of the river also separated a dozen cavalrymen, aiming at the canoe parked in the middle of the canal, bows and arrows.

Seeing himself being pierced by random arrows in a daze, Lu Zeng suddenly felt blessed.

He opened his voice and shouted in a very non-standard Mongolian, "Yuekuocha'er, you have a mother but no father, you have the guts to kill me today, otherwise, I will never be done with you in this life."

"Yue Kuo Cha'er, you little brat with a mother and no father, if you dare, kill me today, otherwise, I will never be done with you in this life."

The domestic servants and men on the boat had no idea what Lu Lu had been shouting.

In order to survive, , also raised their voices in unison, imitating each other's emphasis and repeating it over and over again.

At this time, the Mongolian cavalry who were bending their bows and setting up arrows were all dumbfounded.

No one knew what kind of power the old white-bearded Han man on the boat had relied on to dare to curse the moon in Mongolian in front of tens of thousands of people.

Kuo Chaer is a wild species.

Immediately, a centurion hurriedly rode to Yue Kuo Cha'er and reminded him that a special figure appeared on the river.

Yue Kuo Cha'er was watching the excitement of his soldiers killing people and setting fires.

Hearing the centurion's report, he frowned and responded disdainfully: "How can someone who is struggling to make a living on the river be some great big shot?

I'm afraid he'll go crazy with fear, so I'll just say kill him, kill him, I don't have time to care about his background."

"Yes, my lord" the centurion replied loudly, but did not dare to carry out the order immediately.

Instead, he secretly glanced at Lu Luzeng's face and carefully continued to remind him in Mongolian, "But, but he can speak, he can speak our words.

And he still dares to scold you."

"If you dare to scold me, he will be impatient.

Pull him ashore, tie him to the horse's tail and drag him to death."

Yue Kuocha'er heard this and immediately became furious.

His eyes widened and he shouted loudly.

"Yes" the centurion agreed, but still did not dare to act rashly.

These days, the lives of Han people are generally worthless, but some special Han people cannot be killed casually.

Since the other party dared to scold Yue Kuo Chaer in public, he must be the domestic slave of another high-ranking official in the court.

If you kill him without asking him clearly, you will probably get yourself into a lot of trouble.

"Why don't you go?

Do you think he scolded you not enough?"

Yue Kuochaer didn't understand the good intentions of his subordinates at all.

He raised his whip and asked sternly.

Before he finished speaking, another centurion came running over on horseback.

He saluted from a distance and shouted loudly, "Report to Master Pingzhang, the old man has a gold seal in his hand.

It seems that he is indeed a high official."

"When did the officials of the Yuan Dynasty become so careless?"

Yue Kuocha'er was stunned and couldn't believe the report of his subordinates.

With a livid face, he asked in a deep voice, "Did you read correctly what his name is and where he works?"

"Lord Pingzhang, he, he can speak our words.

He calls himself, what is his name?

He also said that he drank with you."

The second centurion who came to report was obviously more careful than the first one. , thought for a while, and continued to add loudly.

"Wind" Yue Kuocha'er was stunned, then stretched out his fat palm and slapped his head hard, "Hey, I know, it's old man Lu Zeng, didn't you do anything to him?

That old man should have died long ago.

Yes, but he shouldn’t die in our hands.”

As he spoke, the anger on his face disappeared without a trace in an instant.

Putting some force in the stirrups with both feet, he rushed to the river bank like lightning, and shouted to the Korean soldiers who were surrounding Lu Zeng's boat: "Grandma, stop all of them.

If you dare to touch a hair of Lord Lu, I will kill you."

Drag them all to death" After scolding the Korean soldiers, he quickly changed his smile and shouted at Lu Zeng, who was paralyzed on the board of the boat with fear: "Master Lu, Master Lu.

I didn't restrain my subordinates tightly, and you were frightened.

You should be beaten.

You should be beaten." beat" "Yue Kuo Cha'er" Lu Zeng stood up with the help of a man who was driving the boat, and shouted loudly at the shore, "Marauding troops and killing innocent people indiscriminately.

You, do you think the local officials and supervisors along the coast Are all the historians deaf and blind?"

"Where are the soldiers and plunderers?"

Yue Kuochaer turned his head around, and then responded with an innocent face, "Who is the soldiers and plunderers?

I just killed a group of red scarf thieves and helped the people move the goods from It's only when the thief snatches it back that you, Mr.

Lu, are blinded, so I'm afraid you didn't see clearly."

"You" Lu Lu was so angry that his eyes were on fire, but there was nothing he could do about it.

The supervisory censor of the Yuan Dynasty sounded so powerful that he could even deliver memorials directly to the emperor.

But in fact, it is purely for decoration.

No matter how corrupt and corrupt the Mongolian and Semu ministers are and bully the people, as long as their backstage remains intact, they will not be punished at all.

And once the ministers fall from power or lose in factional battles, even if they have never been impeached by the censor, they can be accused of a lot of crimes.

Anyway, these days, no one who is an official has a clean bottom.

Otherwise, they would have been kicked out of the official ranks long ago, and it would be impossible to climb to a higher position.

"Okay, my brother Lu" Seeing that the other party's face turned black with anger, Yue Kuocha'er cupped his hands and said as if begging for mercy, "Aren't they just a few ordinary people?

If they kill by mistake, they kill by mistake.

Could it be that You still make the soldiers under my command pay with their lives, okay?

, don't be angry, I will restrain them, restrain them.

Tell them to stop messing around.

Send me the general's order and release all the civilian boats on the river.

Let them go as well. .My brother Lu is angry, I have to give him some face."

"Yes" the soldiers agreed and immediately rode their horses to spread the order.

After a while, a narrow gap opened up in the center of the river blocked by the military ship.

All civilian ships and merchant ships that were blocked on the water immediately escaped without a trace as quickly as possible, using both poles and oars.

On the river bank, the traders and people who had been captured by the Mongolian soldiers and prepared to be used as coolies also luckily escaped.

After the ropes on his body were untied, he ran away in confusion.

Seeing that the order was almost carried out, Yue Kuo Cha'er jumped off his mount and came to the shore in person.

Following Han Chinese etiquette, he lightly clasped his fists at Lu Lu Zeng and said, "That's it.

Lao Lu, brother, I've given you enough today."

It’s up to you to save your face.

It’s up to you how we two will drink later.”

"Yeah."

Lu Lu was really angry at being so generous to such a gangster, but there was nothing he could do about it.

After gritting his teeth several times, he swallowed a mouthful of old blood back into his stomach.

He sighed and said in a low voice: "This place is only fifty or sixty miles away from Xuzhou.

You don't want to help the court to calm the people's hearts, but you are so indulging in your subordinates.

You are afraid that there are not enough people to rebel."

"Brothers, aren't they tired from traveling?

We have to let them have some fun."

In Yue Kuo Cha'er's eyes, the ordinary people on both sides of the canal were not his kind at all.

Therefore, he also scorned Lu Luzeng's accusation.

"Besides, these people can pass through Xuzhou Red Scarf territory safely.

Who knows if they have colluded with Zhima Li?

I will send people to kill them casually.

At least I will let them know that they cannot get too close to the Red Scarf Army in the future."

"You, you, you" Lu Zeng was so angry that his vision went dark again, and he pointed at Yue Kuo Cha'er, unable to say a complete sentence.

But the latter smiled nonchalantly, and then said: "By the way, my brother Lu.

Didn't I hear that you were captured by the Red Scarf Army?

Why, they released you so quickly.

It was you."

Did you promise them any special benefits?

Or your family saw the opportunity early and prepared the ransom in advance."

"You, you, don't talk nonsense."

After Lu Zeng heard this, he immediately no longer cared about arguing with Yue Kuo Chaer about the crime of arranging troops to harm the people.

Gritting his teeth and glaring his eyes, he shouted, "If I can get away, there are reasons why I can't let you know right now.

But you, Yue Canghai, where are you going to rob and riot with these tens of thousands of soldiers and horses?"

kill" "What do you mean by robbing and killing indiscriminately, my brother Lu?

You really don't know the heart of a good person.

I am rushing to Xuzhou to save you."

After hearing this, Yue Kuo Cha'er immediately waved his hand vigorously.

"Originally, I was ordered to go to Bianliang to join forces with Timur first, and then go with him to conquer Liu Futong.

But only halfway through, I heard that you were captured by the Xuzhou Red Scarf.

Then After receiving the imperial edict, I was told to rush to Xuzhou to kill Sesame Li and bring all of you back to Your Majesty.

You will be seen alive and dead
