Chapter 187: Zhu Lin

"Open warehouses and grains in the city." Liu Chenglin stood tall after the big case and said to Liu Changfeng: "You should be responsible for this matter."

Liu Changfeng bowed to accept the order.

"Yang Xi, set up a porridge shed outside the city, demarcate areas, and build some sheds for those refugees to temporarily live in." He looked to the other side and said to another general.

Yang Xi hesitated and bowed: "Captain, these are mobs. He once attacked the county town and killed the rich gentry. The crime is unforgivable. The school lieutenant's crime is already lenient. Do you still need to provide relief to them now?"

Liu Chenglin said calmly: "In the spring, these people were still good people in Jingzhou. The crops we came along the way that were growing well should also be made by these people. Why have they become mobs now?"

Yang Xi was choked and said helplessly: "Captain, I am not against helping them. You are right. No matter what, they are also citizens of Jingzhou. I am worried that once relief is started here, the refugees around will rush in and it will be difficult to deal with it at that time."

He stepped forward and lowered his voice and said, "Captain, most of these grains are often the grains that are often closed, and some are military rations. They were transported to Jingzhou in spring. They were consumed like this, I am afraid they are not easy to explain."

Liu Chenglin laughed: "Yes, I've also visited Anling's grain. It basically comes from Changping Warehouse and military grains, but shouldn't these grains be left in Jingzhou warehouses? How could they appear in the grain merchant's store and be sold at a high price!"

His fierce eyes turned to one side, and several officials were standing there, but the county magistrate of Anling, the county magistrate, the county magistrate, the county magistrate and others. Except for the county magistrate, he was still looking at Liu Chenglin with his head raised and disdainful eyes, the others lowered their heads and did not dare to look directly at Liu Chenglin.

A powerful general like Liu Chenglin is really murderous. The person who saw him at this time was really bad and had no confidence in his heart could not withstand it.

"Lu Zigao County Magistrate, may you give me a reasonable explanation?" Liu Chenglin picked his chin slightly and looked at the county Magistrate Lu Zigao.

Lu Zigao Gong bowed: "Person Liu, you should go back to Jingzhou to ask the governor about this matter."

Liu Chenglin glanced at Lu Zigao and laughed: "Why do you need to ask the governor Lu about this? It's just you, those who are obsessed with greed, colluding with officials who often close their warehouses to steal and sell reserved grains to fill their private bags. Now that the incident happened, he actually wanted to frame the governor. He was really bold and did not know how to live or die. People came!"

A team of soldiers came in.

"Take these corrupt officials down, steal and sell official grain, and force the people to rebel. The crime is unforgivable, take them out, behead them and show them to the public, so as to serve you with respect." Liu Chenglin shouted decisively.

"Here!" The soldiers responded with a loud bang, stepped forward and twisted Lu Zigao and others, cut their arms backwards and dragged them out.

"Liu Chenglin, do you dare to kill me?" Lu Zigao shouted in panic: "Governor Lu is my clan brother."

"Guan Qi, who is not close to all, actually wants to cling to the governor." Liu Chenglin sneered and waved his hand: "Drag it out, chop it up, marched in the city with his head, and then went to the four towns and eight miles to spread the heads to the public, telling the people that corrupt officials have been rectified on the spot, so that they can go home to fight against disasters and reduce disasters."

It was not until this time that Lu Zigao discovered that Liu Chenglin was really going to kill him. Finally, he shouted in panic: "Person Liu, please spare me, this food is not mine, it is..." Before he could shout, the soldier had already blocked his mouth firmly and dragged him out.

After a while, several bloody heads were lifted in by the soldiers, and Liu Chenglin waved his hand in disgust.

In the lobby, Yang Xi, Cai De and others were all disgraced.

Jingzhou City, the governor Lu Jin produced smoke in his seven orifices.

"Bold, arrogant, seeking death!" He was angrily walking around the house like a mad beast. He didn't care at all when Lu Zigao died. As Liu Chenglin said, he was just a Guan Qi who was indisputable, but his surname was Lu. But in Anling, Liu Chenglin took all the confiscated food for himself, opened a warehouse to release grain, and helped the victims. The rest were put into his pockets. The money he had obtained from the food sold earlier was also embezzled by him. After questioning, he actually said that he had been stolen by the mob attacked the county town earlier, and now the refugees have returned home and cannot be recovered.

The most annoying thing is that this man actually asked him for the two months of military pay he owed. He said that the military pay would not be received, so his soldiers were unwilling to go on the run, so he had to stay in Anling first.

"I'm wrong, I'm wrong." Lu Jin beats his feet and stamps his chest: "I shouldn't have let him go to Anling. Now I've really shot myself in the foot. Not only did he pinch the handle, but now he's threatening me."

"Liu Chenglin is a man with a different ambition." Jingzhou Chief He Zhigao, who also suffered heavy losses due to Liu Chenglin's actions in Anling, said coldly: "The governor should write a letter to the governor immediately. I am afraid that this person needs to be eliminated early, otherwise it will become a problem for my confidant in Henghai."

"Yes, this person has collusion with Chengde. Didn't he just become an official in Chengde?" Lu Jin hit the table with a blow, "I will write a letter to the Jiedushi immediately. This person is arrogant and domineering in Jingzhou, forcing the reserve grain to be distributed to the people, and invited people to buy people's hearts. He has ulterior motives. The Jiedushi should take it early."

"Governor, there is no need to report to the Jiedushi." A voice came from the door. Feng Song, one of the three horses in Jingzhou, rushed over. "Jiangdushi's office sent someone to deliver an urgent document and asked us to kill Liu Chenglin immediately."

Lu Jin and He Zhigao were both stunned.

"Li Ze, Wuyi, has already proposed marriage to Liu Chenglin's sister." Feng Song said: "Li Ze killed Zhu Bin, Zhu Yannian, Ai Song, and destroyed Dezhou. The Jiedushi wanted to sleep with his skin and eat his flesh. Liu Jue not only surrendered to Li Ze as an official under his command, but now he wants to betroth his daughter to Li Ze. How can the Jiedushi tolerate it? Liu Chenglin is a powerful general. If he does not deal with it early and causes disaster, Jingzhou will be in danger and the sea will be in danger."

"There are a thousand soldiers under Liu Chenglin's command. Although our Jingzhou can barely gather a thousand soldiers, it is not his opponent. Moreover, it is raining heavily, the disaster is serious, and the riots are endless. Even the soldiers in the palace cannot be summoned. How can he kill him?" Although Lu Jin wanted to kill Liu Chenglin immediately, he was still clear-headed and knew that if he wanted to fight head-on, he would not be his opponent.

"Why do you need to make a big fight?" Feng Song sneered: "Liu Chenglin has quelled the Anling riot, so he asked him to return to Jingzhou. When he comes back, he can find an excuse to trick him into the city. Dozens of swords and axes are enough."

"Then his army?"

"Yang Xi and Cai De all came out of the guards of the Jiedushi. Without Liu Chenglin, they could naturally take over this army and kill Liu Chenglin's confidants in the army, and there would be no more disasters." Feng Song said.

Lu Jin nodded repeatedly, looked at He Zhigao and said, "It seems that we really have to pay this guy another two months of military salary, otherwise he would be left with Anling and we would have nothing to do."

"To a dying person, you might as well be generous." He Zhigao laughed and said, "This guy is in Anling, and he thinks he has seized our handle. I think he is very proud. Governor, maybe we pretend to be humble and make him think we are convinced. This guy has always been above his gaze and does not take us seriously. This time he will let him know how powerful we are."

"Well, Chief Secretary, you will run away and send him the money for the past two months, and then send him some money to him privately, tell him about food, until Lu Zigao, and tell him not to go too far." Lu Jin said: "You have to say soft words, but you must not lose hard words, otherwise this guy will see an abnormality. Using both soft and hard is the normal state of our dealing with him, and he will not realize that we will take his life."

Feng Song nodded and said, "That's the reason. Although this person is a general, he is not stupid."

"Where can we contact Yang Xi Cai De?"

"When He Changshi went there, he brought the man sent by the Jiedushi into Liu Chenglin's military camp, and that man would naturally contact Yang Cai and the others." Feng Song said.

"Since Yang Cai and the other two are the governors, why not let them launch a mutiny directly to kill Liu Chenglin? Wouldn't that be more convenient?" He Zhigao asked with his hands spread out.

Feng Song shook his head and said, "Although Yang Cai and the other two have been under Liu Chenglin for a long time, they have only led two Qu 300 soldiers. Moreover, most of the grassroots officers among these soldiers have been trained by Liu Chenglin. The four hundred most elite soldiers in their troops were led by Liu Changfeng to launch a mutiny. Yang Cai and the other two have no courage at all, and the possibility of success is too low. Only when Liu Chenglin and Liu Changfeng die, Yang Cai and the other two can take over naturally."

"I understand, then I will run away." He Zhigao nodded.

A few days later, Liu Chenglin received the military pay with satisfaction. Of course, now he was actually not short of money. He killed Lu Zigao and other Anling officials. The money collected from their homes was enough to make him pay for his soldiers, and the bounty was more than enough. Of course, there were also the stolen money from selling grain, but Liu Chenglin was not prepared to close the money, and often had to buy grain to make up for it. Since Lu Jin had already been submissive, he would not do much for himself. He also had to station in Jingzhou. It was not good for him to make up for his relationship with the local chief official. This was also the reason why he refused to join Lu Jin when he was killing Lu Zigao.

Take one step back, the sky is high and the sea is wide!

He Zhigao's humble face bent his knees, and He Zhigao's harshness and indifference were, in Liu Chenglin's view, a signal of reconciliation between the other party. He accepted the other party's kindness with satisfaction and issued an order to prepare to return to Jingzhou.

This state of satisfaction and happiness was broken in the middle of the night by a sudden person he never expected.

Looking at Sun Zhi, who was wearing a mess brought in by Liu Changfeng, Liu Chenglin was shocked.
