Chapter 246: Absurd, Beast, Justice

When Li Meng led 500 personal troops to the Dezhou Prefectural Office, Qiu Lei's personal soldiers had not reacted and were in a hurry to get in chaos in front of the yamen.

Because of an old incident in the past, the venue in front of the Dezhou Prefectural Office was quite wide, just like the place where Liu Zeqing cleared out around the inner city of Caozhou City. There were 500 people on Li Meng's side and 400 people on the general Qiu Lei. The two sides set off and confronted each other, but they didn't seem crowded.

However, the momentum of the general Qiu Lei's personal soldiers was obviously much weaker. The things that happened in Dengzhou Prefecture and the robbery and detained of Jinan Prefecture. The trusted officers and soldiers around these generals knew more than outside. They were suppressed by the other party in everything, so how could they become tough?

But when we arrived at this place, we couldn't fight anymore. As soon as the two sides started to confront each other, a small officer ran out of the prefect's office. After asking a few questions, he hurried to Li Meng, with a very respectful attitude and said:

"Just just now, the governor wanted to send someone to invite General Li Gan to the city. There is an urgent report. Please come to the hall of the mansion together to discuss matters!"

This was to give the steps down. Li Meng did not reply there, so he paused. A personal soldier behind him turned around from somewhere and leaned into Li Meng's ear and said:

"There are 45 governors, 20 guards of the military eunuchs, and 10 generals of the general Qiu Lei, and no action against the adults."

Li Meng nodded and immediately said to the little officer in front of him:

"Since that's the case, I will bring you ten personal soldiers in with you."

The personal soldiers outside were led by Wang Hai, and Li Meng brought ten people in with him, but the little officer did not react, why did he bring ten people?

Dezhou is also a major road for trade. When the caravan led by Hou Shan went south and north, it also had a lot of contact with Dezhou City. Moreover, due to the important transportation route, this place is also a place where news gatherings are gathered, so Houshan opened a semicolon here. Although Huang Ping did not recruit a lot of people, he still arranged a lot of people in.

So as long as Li Meng opens the city gate and the soldiers enter the city, the spies in the city can immediately inform Li Meng. All the situations are clear, so they naturally feel at ease step by step.

Dezhou and Jiaozhou are both at the same level as the prefecture, but Jiaozhou is much worse than Dezhou's. The lobby of the Dezhou's prefecture is already where to discuss the matter.

There was no tension inside. In the courtyard of the lobby, the personal soldiers gathered together according to the differences between the main family. Li Meng brought the personal soldiers in. Everyone just took a look and did not react much. The little officer leading the way reported at the door and immediately passed on the meeting in the lobby.

Li Meng walked in with great strides, and saw a middle-aged man with a clear appearance sitting in the middle. His long beard was decorated with neatly. He looked like he had the so-called famous morale. I guess this was the governor of Shandong Yan Jizu. When the generals met the governor, they would kneel down according to the etiquette and call him the last general. Li Meng rarely knelt down in recent years, but there was no compatibility in this matter. As for the same sentence, since he was here, he had to do more according to the rules.

He knelt down and said that he was the general of the four prefectures. He met the governor. Before kneeling down, he looked at Yan Jizu's face with a very gloomy face, but he did not lose his temper because of the attack on the city outside the city. He just said lightly, "It turns out that it's hard work, sit down!"

There were also eunuchs and generals in the house. They were all Li Meng's superiors, and they all had to meet with their officials, but they did not say that they wanted to kneel down, but they only said that they were bowing or half-kneeling.

The eunuch in the military supervisor had no much to do with Li Meng. As for General Qiu Lei, he had already made enemies and must have been unable to recover with etiquette. Why bother to engage in that false thing? He turned around and clasped his fists at the eunuch in the military supervisor Liu Yuanbin and General Qiu Lei who were sitting on the left, and his body bent slightly, even if he was a tribute.

The military eunuch Liu Yuanbin was in his early forties and was able to achieve the position of the military eunuch, which was considered to be a stunning eunuch or had real talents. The general of the Suli governor and general must be polite to him, and he was used to being praised by others. Seeing this little general coming in, he was so arrogant, he immediately became angry. He didn't say he was polite, but he just stood there and said coldly:

"General Li Shen is young and has such a big aura. Originally, General Qiu said you are domineering, but our family doesn't believe it. Today, I look at it and I will be very proud. I believe that in a few years, the imperial court's laws will not be taken seriously!"

Li Meng's attention was not on this eunuch, but on the look of the general Qiu Lei sitting aside. The general of the Ming Dynasty and the few that Li Meng saw were better than him. Qiu Lei also looked very martial. He looked like a character in a modern costume drama. Qiu Lei's face turned pale. He stared at Li Meng standing there, and he thought he was completely angry.

After Liu Yuanbin finished speaking, Li Meng turned around and replied with a smile:

"I really don't know that the rules of the adults are so great. When Li went to see his uncle, he just kowtowed and bowed. Could it be that he would do this even when he saw the adults."

This is full of provocation. The eunuch's personality cannot stand such ridicule. He was furious and couldn't help but ask in a scream:

"Okay..."

As soon as he started to attack, he was interrupted by Yan Jizu, who was sitting in the head. The Shandong governor said impatiently:

"What time is this? Why are you still quarreling? Eunuch Liu, speaking of General Li Shen's uncle, you are the same clan as you. He is the governor of Nanjing, Liu Fulai, General Li Shen, don't talk much, just sit down."

When he heard that it was Liu Fulai, the eunuch in Nanjing, the military supervisor, Liu Yuanbin, was speechless and his face was flushed. The eunuch in Nanjing was one of the top eunuchs in the world. Liu Fulai was a big shot in the Sili Supervisor, so he could not afford to offend him.

But Li Meng's artificiality had already hit him in the face. He would lose face without an attack, but he could not afford to offend the Nanjing guards. He was really depressed.

Li Meng just clasped his fists and did the meeting gift of General Qiu Lei. He ignored the other party's reaction and sat straight there. The ashes of blue on Qiu Lei's face was a little heavier, but he had no choice.

Shandong Governor Yan Jizu looked at Li Meng below and felt extremely disgusted. He thought that the words General Qiu said about Li Meng in the past were true. This young man was really arrogant and too much, but now he doesn't care about so many idiots.

"This morning, the fast horses in Beizhili rushed to report that Gaoyang in Beizhili fell, and the whole family of Sun Ge's family died."

Sun Ge's army, the governor of Ji Liao, was the Grand Secretary of the Ministry of War. He was the most favored minister of the emperor during the Tianqi period, and was also a famous capable minister in the world, the emperor's teacher, and the leader of the Donglin Party.

Of course, once the emperor and the ministers were once, he was not so popular in Chongzhen. He had been resigning for several years. However, if such ministers died at the hands of the Qing Dynasty, local officials would definitely be punished. Moreover, as both Donglin Party members, Yan Jizu also had some injuries to his species. But more importantly, Gaoyang, the northern Zhili, was in a fall, and Gaoyang was already very close to Dezhou.

"The Tartars are coming, and we are responsible for defending the territory of Shandong. We hope that the two generals will work together to fight against the enemy. All the people in Shandong will be safe. We will rely on the two generals for our honor and disgrace."

Shandong Governor Yan Jizu bowed to Qiu Lei and Li Meng in his seat, as if he was full of posture. Li Meng had to hold his fists and return the salute. After Li Meng sat down on his right hand, he found that someone had been sitting there at the door. He should be the magistrate of Dezhou, and his face was very bad.

Logically speaking, after the governor finished speaking, he would discuss the defense zone and deployment of Li Meng's troops and Qiu Lei's troops. However, when both sides were about to speak, the magistrate at the door stood up and walked to the middle of the lobby, knelt down to the upper head, kowtowed and greeted him, and said hoarsely:

"Bei Zhi was rash in front of all the lords. The case that General Qiu's personal guards did in Deci'an Shantang was so resentful that the people of Dezhou were in a big enemy. The rear must be stable. Bei Zhi dared to ask General Qiu to give an explanation, otherwise, it would be..."

The governor sitting in the middle sighed but did not speak. Qiu Lei, who was beside him, said in a rough voice:

"This is nothing. My son is going to go to the battlefield to fight hard. You are making a fuss here because you are not caring about wives."

The eunuch Liu Yuanbin also said with a sharp voice:

"When is it now? I'm still bothering you with such irrelevant little things. How did you become a magistrate?"

"I don't know what it is, can you tell me?"

Li Meng said slowly, "The people sitting in the house all looked bad, but although Li Meng's position was the lowest, he couldn't do anything to him. The magistrate was a little energetic, knelt on the ground and turned around, and began to tell the story."

Things are not complicated. There is a nunnery in the city of Dezhou. The master of the inner palace is a truly compassionate person. He begs for alms and opened a good hall to gather lonely and helpless girls near Dezhou to do some work such as sewing. Local gentry attaches great importance to this and donates it in daily life, and many literati write articles and praise it.

But the day before yesterday, more than 200 of Qiu Lei's personal soldiers rushed into the Deci Temple at night. No one knew what happened. It was just the next morning that Qiu Lei's personal soldiers left. After half an hour after the soldiers left, the master of the Deci Temple came out and kowtowed a few times on the street, then closed the door. Then the Deci Temple ignited a fire, and all the nuns and girls from Shantang in the temple were burned to death.

The scholars and citizens of Texas were in a big uproar, and the Texas magistrate was forced to come to seek justice!
