Chapter 430 Father, Son and Brother (Part 2)
When Xi Feng Yechang left the city before, he planned to inspect dozens of city passes in the eastern defense line connected to the Liao Kingdom to make corresponding preparations for the upcoming winter. In this way, he would have to be delayed for at least one or two months.
However, after learning that the battle between the two sons had become superficial a few days ago, even though Xi Feng Yeli had already made some preparations, Xi Feng Yechang was still uneasy and always felt that something unknown would happen in Shunjun City. So in the end, he just checked everything in the Danliang City and led his army back.
As soon as he entered the city today, he heard that Xi Feng Chang had just returned with his troops, so he simply did not rush back to the mansion first, but came directly to the south gate. As a result, when he came to the south gate, he saw an extremely strange scene - Xi Feng Jian brought some subordinates to stand on the ground nervously, while opposite him, Xi Feng Chang, who was younger brother, sat on the horse's back and stared at his brother with a domineering momentum. The strength and weakness between the brothers had been completely reversed at this moment!
Just now, when Xi Feudian said something self-righteous and planned to push all the sins on Xi Feudian Lieqiang and Liang Eda, Xi Feudian did not dismount as he hoped to support me, and then said some scenes, but continued to look down at him, and then said coldly: "Xi Feudian, do you really treat me as your brother. Xi Feudian and others are really taking the initiative to lead troops to kill me instead of taking your order?"
This merciless question and tone immediately caught Xi Fengjian off guard, but he quickly suppressed his anger and said sternly: "Eighth brother, why do you say this? After all, you are blood brothers. Even if there were any conflicts in the past, it was just a small friction. How could I really want to harm you? I just learned that Xi Feng Lieqiang and the others actually led their troops to murder you without hiding it. They were planning to rescue you... If you don't believe it, please let them come out to confront me!"
"Haha, Xifengjian, you really dare to say it. Xifeng Lieqiang and Liang Eda were killed by my warriors a few days ago. Are you asking their ghosts to come out and tell you? There is no evidence of death. How can the soldiers and civilians in the city believe your lies?" Xifeng Chang replied with disdain and resentment, but Xifengjian's face suddenly turned pale: "You... have you killed them?"
After pausing for a moment, he shouted loudly in disbelief: "How dare you kill Xifeng Lieqiang and Liang Eda? Do you know that they are all warriors of my Xifeng clan? They are powerful people under my father. How dare you..." He was really shocked and angry. Xifeng Chang's counterattack was too unexpected to his expectations. He was caught off guard and even forgot about his current situation.
"Since they dared to commit suicide by committing the superiors, it would be natural for me to kill them. And as they said, all this was instructed by you. It was you who would have sent them to collude with a group of horse thieves in the Nanshan Mountain to seize the goods from Shunjun City and lead me out of the city. Then they deceived me to go to the horse thieves' nest in the name of redeeming goods and hostages, and set up an ambush there... If it weren't for the help of all the merchants in the city this time, I was afraid that I, Xifeng Chang, would have been killed by you, my good brother!" At this time, Xifeng Chang was furious and did not care about the countless people gathering around, so he broke the inside story of his brother's siege.
As soon as this statement was spoken, it caused an uproar. The people did not know that there were so many twists and turns, but some people actually put their ideas on the living supplies they depended for. Now, when they heard it, they immediately shouted. The Dangxiang people are no more than the gentle Han people. Once they find that their survival has been infringed, they are not afraid of fighting with the government. This is why those merchants would use their troops under their command to help kill the enemy under the persuasion of Xifeng Chang.
The feudal body, which was pointed out by thousands of people, began to tremble gently. He really didn't expect that the Xifeng Chang's words today would be so sharp, and he would ignore the overall situation so much, not afraid of the riots of the people in the city, so he told the inside story. This made him feel a little confused about how to refute it for a while, and could only say one sentence repeatedly: "I was indeed hiding this matter by Xifeng Lieqiang and others, and I don't know anything..."
Just when Xifeng was in an extremely passive situation, their father Xifeng Yechang finally arrived. With the cavalry leading the way, he shouted: "Class leader is here!" The angry people who were originally surrounded on the road came to their senses and flashed to make their debut. Many people shouted loudly, wanting to ask the patriarch to uphold justice for everyone.
The two brothers Xifeng Chang did not expect their father to come back suddenly, and were both stunned. Then, Xifeng Chang quickly turned over and dismounted, stroking his chest and saluted: "My son has seen his father, and he also asked his father to give his son justice to the people of the city!"
"What's going on? Can't you go back if you have anything to say?" Xi Fengye Chang looked at the angry people around him with a face like a mysterious man, knowing that he was really back this time. If he came back later, there would be a big mess in Shunjun City.
"My son originally planned to report everything to my father after he went back, but the sixth brother blocked my way, forcing me to explain it to him here." Xi Feng Chang was also on the face of Qihui at this time, recounting the previous words hatefully, and finally shocked the people present: "And because the horse thieves finally tried to resist, the dozens of trucks of food and cloth were burned to death!"
Even though Xiao Feng Yechang was calm, he took a deep breath and his face turned pale. This fact is too serious. This is not only the price of goods, but also the goods of thousands of taels of gold can be afforded. The key is that these materials are used by the people to spend the winter. Once there is a shortage, it means that the people in the city will be short of clothes and food this year. When they are frozen to death, they will be responsible for the leader of his clan. Moreover, once the problems spread, it is very likely that Shunjun City will be turbulent.
After panic, Xi Feng Yechang felt anger again! He just reminded Xi Feng Chang not to say nonsense in public, but his son was fine. At this time, he actually said all this in front of the people. What should he do if this caused panic among the people and changes in the city?
Is he unintentional or intentional? If it was the latter, was it his own intention or someone instructed him? A series of problems continued to arise, which made Xi Feng Yechang suddenly turn his hostile and suspicious eyes on the young man from the Han family not far from Xi Feng Chang - Sun Qianli! It is very likely that all this was done by him, in order to force himself to severely punish Xi feudalism to calm public anger!
After being stared at by the fine sealed wilderness, Sun Tu's heart suddenly became tight and then he smiled bitterly. He felt that he was indeed unjust this time, although this result was what he wanted to see, because once the problem of material shortage cannot be solved, there will be civil strife in Shunjun City. Maybe with this opportunity, some chaos will arise in the entire Xixia country, which will achieve his goal of taking the risk to enter the Xia Dynasty.
But what Sun Tu wants to say is that he really didn't let Xi Fengchang play everyone after entering the city, and he just let the other party use these remarks when encountering Xi Fengjian's arguments, making it difficult for him to escape from the crime. But who could have expected that Xi Fengjian would block their way into the city so eagerly. In addition, Xi Fengyechang's appearance made things more complicated, and Xi Fengchang didn't even think deeply, and she gave the truth in public regardless of the consequences!
Or maybe this was completely a deliberate way for Xiaofeng Chang to force his father to completely convict Xiaofeng. If this is true, Sun Tu felt that he had to re-examine this seemingly straightforward new "master".
Of course, Xi Feng Yechang was no longer concerned about pursuing Sun Tu's problem at this time, because the people around him were already panicked, and many people shouted loudly, asking the Lord of the Great Wall to wait for a guarantee and explanation for him: "Class leader, please make the decision for us. My Xi Feng clan has not encountered such a situation for many years. Once the food is out of winter..."
The voices of all kinds of words kept coming, which made Xi Feng Yechang feel a headache, but he had to come forward to solve the problem. He shouted loudly: "Don't worry, everyone is just August, and there is still one or two months before winter. Although the supplies have been destroyed, I will think of going to raise them elsewhere and will definitely get everything done before the heavy snow is closed."
After pausing, he said sternly: "There are also the culprits who cause uneasiness in my city. The patriarch will definitely deal with it impartially and will definitely give people in the city a satisfactory explanation!"
Xifeng Yechang's prestige in the city is quite high. The Xifeng clan's foundation that has been in operation for decades is not a joke. So even if everyone was already in a panic after hearing the bad news, he quickly returned to peace after a few words. Many people even shouted: "I believe that the clan leader will definitely take everyone through the difficulties and punish the prisoners severely..."
But when the sound rang, the fine feudalism on the side began to tremble. He really didn't expect the disaster that would be so great. If it really caused chaos in the city, I'm afraid his father would really kill him to calm the public's anger.
This made him even more frightened. He hurriedly pulled Xi Fengman and asked for help, "What should I do?"
Xifeng Man also looked confused at this time, but he still comforted: "Young Master, don't panic. Since there is no evidence of death, then we just insist that Xifeng Lieqiang and others are taking their own initiative and sending troops without hiding the young master!" Now it seems that there is only one way to protect yourself!
