"Brother Daniu? Are you at home? "
In front of a house in the south of Guancheng County.
"Yes, yes, yes. Xu Fangzheng, why are you here?"
The door of the house opened and Liu Rengui walked out. Since he sneaked into Guancheng County last month, he even changed his name. Now he was called Ren Daniu.
"Alas! Aren't the officers and soldiers of the county government looking for Deputy Ye everywhere? They even said that he is a traitor. But Deputy Ye is so nice to the people. How can he be a traitor? I don't understand the world anymore! Oh, Daniu, after a while, the officers and soldiers will find our workshop. I will go to each house in advance to see if anyone has hidden Deputy District Magistrate Ye! "
Xu Fangzheng was an old man in his sixties. He looked honest and kind. He looked at Liu Rengui and talked for a long time before he told him the real purpose of his visit.
There was a market system in the Tang Dynasty. Naturally, there was a Fangzheng. The Fangzheng was not only in charge of the opening and closing of the gate, but also in charge of maintaining the public order in the district.
Liu Rengui was a little surprised, but he pretended to be depressed and complained, "Fangzheng, why is Guancheng County getting more and more chaotic recently? The Deputy Magistrate of the county yamen was actually mistaken as a spy and even locked the city gates every day to prevent people from going out. Sigh, we were originally here to help people purchase goods from the county. But because of this delay, it has been almost a month. What a loss, what a loss! "
Xu Fangzheng couldn't bear it. He had heard about Liu Rengui's "experience" before. Now he was "trapped" in Guancheng County. He sympathized with him. So Xu Fangzheng comforted him, "Daniu, it's all because of the government. I don't want to see you lose money! For now, all of you can rest assured and stay here. When the city gates open, this old man will come over to inform you! "
Liu Rengui said gratefully, "Alas! Thank you, Xu Fangzheng! Oh, Fangzheng, since you are here to find a spy, come in and have a look! "
Xu Fangzheng nodded slightly and said, "Okay, I will go in and have a look!"
Then he walked into the yard with his hands behind his back.
"Alas! Xu Fangzheng is here? "
"Xu Fangzheng!"
In the courtyard, Liu Rengui's "brothers" saw Xu Fangzheng come in and quickly came over to greet him. Xu Fangzheng nodded and then walked straight into the inner room.
In the end, he didn't even see a single "outsider".
"Xu Fangzheng, have you finished your investigation? Other than us rough men, who else would come here? "
A quarter of an hour later, Liu Rengui saw Xu Fang coming out of the courtyard. He hurriedly went up to him and asked.
"Yes! There are no outsiders in the house. Then, Little Brother Daniu, this old man will not disturb you any further. Goodbye! "
Xu Fangzheng cupped his hands and took his leave.
"Xu Fangzheng, take care!"
Liu Rengui watched him leave. Then he turned to the several big men behind him and said, "Old Feng, later when the people from the county government come, you help to deal with them. During the day, I met Registrar Wang. If he leads a team to search tonight, he may recognize me. I will go to the underground tunnel to accompany Minister Wei and the others tonight!"
"Alright! Don't worry, General. I, Old Feng, will be careful! "
A slightly older middle-aged man cupped his fists and replied.
Liu Rengui nodded and went into the house to tidy up. Then, he jumped into the well …
Half an hour later, the house was slapped once again.
"Bang, bang, bang! Open the door, the government is investigating! "
Old Feng, who had promised Liu Rengui to deal with the soldiers, hurriedly went to open the door.
"Coming, coming! Hey, officers, come in and have some tea! "
Old Feng said with a big smile.
Because he saw that among this group of people, there were all constables from the county government. No one was wearing an official's uniform, which meant that Registrar Wang didn't come in person.
Since the King of Hell didn't come, these little devils could be dealt with with with some benefits.
"Hmph! I heard from Xu Fangzheng that you are not locals. Tell me, where are you from? Are there any other unidentified people staying here today? "
The head of the constables said arrogantly.
Speaking of which, as low-level officials, if they didn't think of ways to plunder the wealth of the people, how would they live their lives?
Old Feng was very perceptive. He stuffed a few notes of Tang Yuan and said, "Officer, we came to Guancheng County to buy goods for a boss in Xuzhou. We didn't expect that Guancheng County didn't allow people to go out of the city. So, we temporarily live here! This house has always belonged to us, and there has never been an outsider coming here! "
The constable nodded with satisfaction and said, "Well, whether there are outsiders or not, we will know after checking. Go in and search. Be gentle, don't break other people's things!"
As the saying goes, if you eat someone's food, you have to be soft-hearted. The constable was also a smart person.
"Yes!"
Five constables entered the house, and the constable was invited to the front hall to drink tea.
Half an hour later, a group of people went out and left. Naturally, they didn't find Ye Minglei inside. It was a close call but not dangerous!
…
Chang 'an, Lantian County, Yunshan No.1 Courtyard.
It was late at night, but the light in the study was still on.
"Liu Rengui! I wonder if this Liu Rengui is the same Liu Rengui from history! "
Li Zexuan leaned on the chair and looked at the information sent by Li Yu in the morning. He was in a daze.
During the day, he focused on the Cui family's rebellion and didn't pay attention to the other key person in this matter — Liu Rengui!
If he remembered correctly, Liu Rengui was an extremely famous general in Tang Dynasty. In the third year of Gaozong Long Shuo's reign, Wo Nihon became stronger and stronger. At that time, Emperor Tenzhi of Japan wanted to occupy the Korean peninsula and then the mainland. Therefore, he supported Baekje to fight against Silla. He sent nearly 50,000 soldiers and thousands of warships to fight against Tang Dynasty.
At that time, Liu Rengui of the Tang Dynasty only brought 7,000 soldiers and encountered the main force of Wo Nihon at Baijiangkou. After a big battle, the Wo Nihon army was almost completely wiped out.
In the Battle of Baijiangkou, the Tang Dynasty navy fully utilized their advantage and defeated the Wo Nihon navy, which had several times more soldiers and warships. It could be said to be a classic naval battle where the few won against the many. This battle was also the first battle between China and Japan as national entities. It was also one of the earliest known international battles in Northeast Asia. The final result of the victory of the Tang Dynasty and the Xinluo Alliance Army basically established the political, economic, and cultural structure of Northeast Asia for more than a thousand years.
At the same time, this battle taught Wo Nihon how to behave and made them realize the huge gap between them and Tang Dynasty. Thus, until Toyotomi Hideyoshi invaded Korea in 1592, Japan didn't dare to fight against China for nearly a thousand years.
"Feiji, tomorrow you will go with the army to Zhengzhou. After you go, follow Iron Egg or be Uncle Li's personal guard! If you meet someone called Liu Rengui and he's in danger, do your best to help him! After destroying the rebels, bring Liu Rengui back to Chang 'an. This marquis wants to see him! "
Li Zexuan came to the door and instructed Pang Feiji, who was outside.
He was a nationalistic youth, and Liu Rengui, to a modern person like him, was an out-and-out national hero. Not only did he raise the prestige of the country, but he also ensured that China wouldn't be invaded by Wo Nihon for nearly a thousand years. He really wanted to see such a person with his own eyes!
"Marquis, but if I go to Zhengzhou, who will protect you?"
Pang Feiji said reluctantly.
Li Zexuan glared at him and said grumpily, "I'm the one protecting you? Or you protect me? Do I need you to protect me? If I tell you to go, then go. This matter is very important to me! Go and pack! "
After saying that, he went straight to his room to sleep.
"Yes, Marquis!"
Pang Feiji scratched his head and could only go back to pack his luggage "pitifully".
