Chapter 23 is on the verge of breaking out

"Why is this? Do you have any concerns?" Everyone hurriedly asked. Several people present were confidants who knew Xu Jinghong's true intentions, so they didn't have too many scruples when talking.

Xu Jinghong nodded: "Yes, in my opinion, the slower the matter, the greater the benefit to us, and the greater the harm to the court. Both officials and people are already very concerned about the food issue. If it can be delayed for two days, the pressure in their hearts will be greater, and at the same time, their expectations will be greater. As the saying goes, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. In that case, they will find that the food has been destroyed, and the result will naturally be worse than now.

Everyone was stunned, but then nodded: "Yes, this is indeed more beneficial to us. Once the people know that the food has been destroyed, it will be chaotic, and then we will benefit from it. But then, the old dog raised his concern: "That's what I said, but in this way, the team and the people of our national security department have been under more pressure in the past few days. Today alone, people from the palace and other governmentmen come to inquire about the news from time to time. If we drag on like this, I'm afraid that the team will be criticized by the court, and may even make some people suspicious.

"This is just a word from the standpoint that we already know the traitors, and it is also possible that we can find them so easily, because we have already grasped their movements. In fact, from a normal point of view, since these thieves dare to do such a big thing, they will definitely find a safe and secret place to hide. It will take some time for us to find them. On the contrary, it is a little unreasonable to find them quickly. So it is very appropriate for us to delay two days to report the situation. Xu Jinghong said, "Of course, we can understand the urgency of the court to find people and find food, so we will definitely have a lot of trouble in the two days. In addition, this delay also has a certain degree of attention. After discussing with Mr. Sun, I feel that it can be delayed for two more days, which will not only make the court and the people more urgent, but also not really make the court condemn us for it.

Since it was Sun Zaiyuan's idea for Xu Jinghong, there was not much opposition. In terms of grasping people's hearts and controlling the situation, these warriors are naturally not as good as Sun Zaiyuan. Seeing that there was no objection, Xu Jinghong finally made a decision: "So I will report everything to the court in the future, and during this period, everyone still has to pretend to find the whereabouts of the thief, and at the same time make sure that there is no mistake in the information there."

"Yes!" Several confidants immediately agreed, and everyone was a little excited, because they knew that soon, a turning point would come, and whether they could make a bigger job and a higher status would all come in these two days.

Because the people of Guoan Division are busy with their own affairs, two days have passed quickly for them. But for others in Daliang City, these two days have been like a year. Within two days, the situation in Daliang City has become more tense, and there is no grain of rice left in the shops where you can buy grain - because of the previous lesson, in order to prevent the people and people with ulterior motives from rumors that merchants are hoarding, so this time several major grain merchants have opened their doors for the people to supervise - so, the people It is still very uneasy, and the fear of food shortage has spread to every corner of the capital.

And because of this, many people think of buying food outside the beam. As a result, the food prices of some state governments near Daliang also rose rapidly, and finally made the situation there a little difficult to control. In order to prevent such an unfavorable situation from spreading further, the court had no choice but to impose a ban on anyone from bringing food when they enter Beijing, which is more stringent than before, and many people are put in prison.

And such a consequence is to make the situation of Daliang more difficult to control. If it hadn't been for the tens of thousands of people in the capital camp guarding the stability of the capital day and night than the people patrolling the city this time, I'm afraid that there would have been riots (river crabs) in the capital. But this is by no means a long-term solution. Now it is because there is still grain in the people's homes that they can still be suppressed by the army. However, once the food is stored in their homes and there is still no food on the market that can be sold to them, no more troops will be suppressed.

To this end, the court has made a series of countermeasures in the past few days. The first is to strengthen the usual inspection mentioned earlier and let no one have any opportunity to take advantage of it. Second, urgently send people to transfer food to various places. Even if they know that this is the time when the green and yellow are not picked up, the food in various places is only enough for their own use, but they can adjust a little bit and become a living doctor. The third is to constantly urge the people of the National Security Department and the Gyeonggi Province to quickly find the food and thieves. After all, it is impossible to really solve the problem. Only by taking back the grain shipped from Shu and putting it on the market to stabilize people's hearts is the most effective way to solve the problem.

This makes the National Security Department constantly urged by people in various government departments and palaces within two days. Fortunately, they were prepared and only prevaricated on the grounds that there was no exact clue for the time being. But as time went by, the patience of the court and the emperor was also fading little by little. It seems that they are on the verge of an outbreak.

This is the morning of April 9th. Although it has only been more than two days since the grain was seized, it has been too long for the monarchs and ministers. At the court meeting, no one raised any other questions. As soon as everyone came up, they went straight to the topic and said nothing. The emperor threw the question to Xu Jinghong again: "Xu Dusi, it has been two days. Hasn't your National Security Department still found any clue?" His tone was already quite bad, and the impatient emperor didn't care about any decentness.

After Xu Jinghong stood out of duty, he said indifferently, "Your Majesty, I originally planned to report this matter to the emperor alone after the court meeting. Now that Your Majesty has asked me, I will tell you the truth. After the hard investigation of the Ansi brothers in our country, the hiding place of those thieves was finally found.

"That's great!" The emperor couldn't help praising, and then said worriedly, "Xu Qing, is what you said true? Is this really reliable? This time, the emperor's name for Xu Jinghong changed again.

Xu Jinghong and Zheng keyed: "I'm sure it won't be wrong. This is what my subordinates finally confirmed after finding mistakes several times. In fact, this place is in a town called Yuanjiaji less than 30 miles away from my Daliang. At the beginning, because the grain was robbed on the waterway, they thought that they would choose their hiding place near the water. But I didn't expect that those thieves were very cunning and did the opposite. Instead, they hid in the town near Beijing, which made us look for a long time. These are what Xu Jinghong can be sure of. These two days of investigation finally gave him more than 90% certainty to be sure that those people were indeed concentrated in the Yuan family.

"Okay! We must hold these thieves this time, otherwise what is the dignity of the court!" The emperor finally felt a little relaxed and immediately gave an order to Xu Jinghong.

"I will do my best to catch the thief. And I am also confident to do this, because the terrain of the Yuan family is not dangerous. As long as enough people are sent to surround them, they are the turtles in the urn. At that time, I will personally take the elites of our country's Ansi to get people, and I will definitely take them all!" Xu Jinghong said confidently, but there was no mention of food in his words.

"Yes, I will make an order to transfer the people of the patrol camp and the Beijing camp to you. Be sure to take back the food this time and catch all these thieves to show the prestige of our court!" The emperor immediately said.

"I obey the order!" Xu Jinghong saluted respectfully. Other officials were somewhat envious when they saw this situation. It seems that if this happens, the status of Xu Jinghong and Guoan Si in the eyes of the emperor will be improved again. However, even if Xu Jinghong gives them such an opportunity now, they will not want it. After all, once the matter is defeated, it will be over, and they may even die in the hands of the remnants of those families. These officials do not have such a high awareness.

Soon, the court meeting dispersed, and the court attendants in the palace hurried to two military camps to issue the imperial edict, and Xu Jinghong was stopped by Lv Zhonghe, who followed him after walking out of the palace. During this period of time, the prime minister, who was very low-key, didn't know what he thought of, but he actually called Xu Jinghong directly in front of everyone. This made the officials around who saw this scene speculate for a long time. Did the Prime Minister also see that Xu Jinghong's future was unlimited, so should he take the opportunity to buy him?

And the prince and King Yong, who looked at all this, wanted to pull Xu Jinghong to their side. In fact, these two highnesses have attracted Xu Jinghong a lot, but he always pretended not to understand their intentions, which made the two princes quite complain about him, but because the emperor valued him very much, they dared not do anything. Now it makes them even more uncomfortable to see that even Lv Zhonghe attaches so much importance to Xu Jinghong.

On that side, Xu Jinghong looked at Lv Zhonghe confusedly after seeing the ceremony: "I don't know what advice Lv Xiang has?"

"I don't dare to give advice. I just need some help from Xu Dusi." Lv Zhonghe laughed and said, "The people gathered in the Yuan family are innocent, so when you lead troops to attack this place, I hope you will show mercy and don't cause too many casualties."

Only then did Xu Jinghong know the intention of the other party. Obviously, it was the decisiveness he had always shown, which made him realize that he was an unscrupulous person to achieve his goal. Now Lu Zhonghe just wants to find a way to live for those innocent people. He had a little more affection for this kind prime minister: "Lv Xiang is too worried. Even without you, I will do everything possible to ensure the safety of the people there. After all, they are all good people of the Song Dynasty. How can I hurt them as a courtier?

"If Xu Dusi can think so, he will be relieved. I haven't thanked Xu Dusi for the previous dog's incident. This time, Xu Dusi came back with a contribution. I held a banquet at home to celebrate Dusi's achievements. I hope Dusi won't refuse. Lv Zhonghe got his guarantee and said happily.

This is pulling himself, and Xu Jinghong heard the meaning from his words. The previous help was just a hand, and Lv Shaoqun also thanked him earlier. There was no need for Lv Zhonghe to thank him again. And what he entrusted just now is actually just a small matter to think about it carefully, and it's too trivial to be mentioned by his country. Taken together, the other party is taking the opportunity to get closer to himself.

In fact, it is indeed very logical to think about it carefully. Although the Lu family was saved, the emperor was very afraid of them. Now there is the remnants of the family. If there is no emperor's cronies in the court to help them speak, I'm afraid that the Lu family will soon be able to support it. And Xu Jinghong, if he takes credit this time, can stand out from the ministers and become the emperor's most trusted person, which can naturally help the Lu family a lot.

For this, Xu Jinghong is also happy to see it. In fact, he also needs the help of the Lu family. After all, his foundation in the court is too shallow. Even if there is really a mess, he may not be able to seize the opportunity. But once you have a friendship with the Lu family, with the deep connections of this family, you can help yourself achieve many things.

After thinking about this, Xu Jinghong naturally agreed to this invitation: "It's really my honor to get the invitation of the Prime Minister. At that time, the subordinate will definitely come to see you. I hope Lv Xiangmo will forget it.

In a ball of harmony, the two said goodbye. After Xu Jinghong stepped into the door of Guoan Division, the smile on his face completely disappeared. Next, he will fight for his ambitions. Today's action is related to the future of the whole Song Dynasty and even the whole Chinese nation. Zhao Song, who is in a different time and space, is no longer suitable to continue to lead the Chinese nation forward, so he wants to overthrow this dynasty and build a new and more dynamic dynasty!

"The team is right!" ... "Dushi!" ... All the subordinates were ready. They all put on armor and wore all kinds of weapons, waiting for Xu Jinghong to finally give the order. He looked at these eager brothers with a satisfied smile in his eyes: "Are you ready?"

"Yes!" Everyone said in unison, "Just wait for the order of Du Si, and we can start!"

"Good! Ma Yue, take these two military charms and now go to the patrol camp and the Beijing camp to transfer 20,000 troops to the direction of Yuanjiaji, so that they can set up a trap around them and don't let any thief escape!" Xu Jinghong said that he had taken out the two bronze charms from his sleeve and handed them to Ma Yue beside him.

Everyone was stunned, and then they looked a little more excited. I didn't expect to mobilize so many people this time, so it seems that this battle is already stable.

After Ma Yue received the order, Xu Jinghong said solemnly, "Guys, it's time to serve the country. This time, we should let the world know the strength of our national security department! No matter who he is and what he has, it is impossible to resist the attack and capture of our national security division! Let's go!" After saying this last mobilization, Xu Jinghong waved his hand.

All the people of Guoan immediately gathered together and came out neatly. Just as Xu Jinghong was also planning to come out, the Tianji Taoist who had been staying behind to treat Chu Lian'er's poison suddenly came over: "Chinghong, Miss Chu is awake. She wants to see you!"

"What?" Xu Jinghong was stunned when he heard this. He really didn't expect that Chu Lian'er, who had been hoping to wake up quickly, would wake up at this time. After a little thought, he ordered the old dog beside him, "Old dog, you take everyone to Yuanjiaji first, and I'll come later!"

"Yes!" The old dog took a meaningful look at Xu Jinghong and took the order to go.

Following Tianji Taoist, Xu Jinghong's heart was excited. I don't know when he began to have this woman's shadow in his heart. Now that she has finally woken up, does that mean that she can stay with her for a long time?

The mood of joy suddenly changed when it came to the half-closed door. Xu Jinghong looked at the Tianji Taoist: "Has the Taoist priest told her what I was about to do?"

It was not until this time that Xu Jinghong thought of a very important thing, that is, the identity of Chu Lian'er. She is a member of the four families, and there are her relatives in those remnants. And now, she has to deal with and kill her relatives. What kind of reaction will she have?

The footsteps of Tianji Taoist stopped, and he neither admitted nor denied it. But this move has given his answer. Obviously, the people inside already know what Xu Jinghong is going to do, and calling him here is obviously to plead for his relatives.

Xu Jinghong knew that it was difficult to show mercy in that situation, not to mention that he had his own plan. Therefore, it is impossible for him to agree to Chu Lian'er's plea, which will only make her feel sad when he sees her. After a little weighing, Xu Jinghong resolutely turned his head and resolutely: "My Taoist priest, I don't think I'm suitable to see her now. Just tell her that I'm leaving for the government office!" Without waiting for the other party to answer, he has left quickly.

The Tianji Taoist looked at his back and let out a long sigh, but did not enter the room. At this time, behind the door, the woman with a pale face shed helpless tears. She didn't know what she would say and do if Xu Jinghong came in. But at the thought of what he was going to do, Chu Lian'er's heart was tightly grasped...

At this time, the people of the Beijing camp and the patrol camp have left the capital, and all the gates of the capital have been under martial law. In order not to leak the news, at this moment, the people in the capital will not be allowed to leave again, and the situation seems to become more tense!
