1331 Excessive
Chen Qi had a fat head and ears, and his good Jiangnan fabric was not luxurious at all when worn on him. Instead, he looked inappropriate. Especially with his fat face and the fine sweat on his forehead, he looked like a pig, not a person.
Ye Qing's arrival made Chen Qi slightly stunned at first, and slowly lowered the fragrant chicken legs in his hand. He glanced at the wine pot and wine glass on the table, and then hurriedly stepped forward to salute Ye Qing. After each of them sat down, Chen Qi, who was a little uncomfortable, intentionally or unintentionally concealed the chicken legs and wine pot and other dishes on the table.
Today, I was just going to the Song army camp for only half a day. Chen Qi felt as if he had lost several pounds, especially the simple food in the Song army camp, which made Chen Qi frown. Only when he rushed to Xianping City did Chen Qi take a few bites because of his extreme hunger. So as soon as he returned to the yamen, he immediately ordered his subordinates in the government office to bring the best wine and food.
So when he saw Ye Qing walking in, Chen Qi's expression and attitude were naturally a little unnatural, and even a little guilty. After all, in the Song army camp today, he originally thought that Ye Qing deliberately made things difficult for them. As for the meal Ye Qing ate in the camp, it was naturally much better than his.
But when he was beaten into the Central Army tent on excuse, he saw Ye Qing eating exactly the same food as he had eaten, and he felt a sense of contempt in his heart. Unexpectedly, a king of Yan in the Song Dynasty would eat such food that he would not look at first sight on his usual occasions.
"What important things do you have to do with the King of Yan?" Chen Qi, with a gloomy face, looked at Ye Qing who was sitting down slowly, and asked with some flattery.
After all, now he has to bow his head under the roof. Although he is still the prefect of Xianping Prefecture, now that Xianping Prefecture has been occupied by the Song army, he still has to rely on others to survive. What's more, if he offended him, he might not have time to make a contribution, and he would be in a different place before he could make a contribution.
"It seems that Lord Chen is not full in the camp, but Ye is not fully entertained?" Ye Qing asked with a smile by scanning the somewhat messy table.
"Where is there, King Yan is polite." Chen Qi then pointed at himself with his finger and looked like a small hill after sitting down, and said, "It's because he has developed some bad habits over the years. If he doesn't eat some midnight snacks late at night, he will not be able to sleep well. Please don't blame the King Yan."
Ye Qing nodded in understanding, and then nodded with a smile that seemed to be a smile, "Yes, I understand. You must have fun in life, don't let the golden cup face the moon empty. No one knows what will happen tomorrow, and the right way is to enjoy it in time. After all, no one knows whether they still have life, don't you see the sun tomorrow?"
Chen Qi's face was stunned, and even the greasy face suddenly turned pale. A pair of eyes that were pressed into a gap by their fat cheeks flashed with fear. The sound of the collision of the leaves and the rapid footsteps came from outside, which made Chen Qi, who was as fat as a mountain, tremble even.
Almost without even thinking about it, as soon as Ye Qing finished speaking, Chen Qi's entire obese body immediately rolled down from the chair, knelt on the ground and apologized to Ye Qing: "The officials are aware of their crimes. I hope the Lord Yan King will be large in order to let the officials go this time. The officials promise that they will never eat this midnight snack in the future..."
"How could I blame you for eating midnight snacks? If I blame you for eating midnight snacks late at night, then the people in the city who seized the grain of the granary today will all be on the spot after entering the city today?" Ye Qing said with a smile.
Chen Qi, who was kneeling on the ground, couldn't understand the reason why Ye Qing suddenly came over. He knelt on the ground and faced the ground, his small eyes were rolling around, and in his ears, the slight sound of some soldiers at the door sounded again. Needless to think about it, the house where he was in was probably surrounded by soldiers under Ye Qing's command outside, right?
"I don't know what the King of Yan has to give, but the official is stupid and I hope the King of Yan will make it clear. Even if the official is
It was also unwilling to go through fire and water for the King of Yan." Chen Qi, who was kneeling on the ground, began to sweat on his forehead. The crisp sound of the leaves outside, and the smiling and smiling face of the King of Yan inside, seemed to be coming to ask for guilt, which made Chen Qi's heart full of fear and anxiety at this moment.
Taking advantage of Ye Qing's time to get him up, Chen Qi quickly thought in his mind what the purpose of Yan Wang Ye Qing came to find him, but for a while, Chen Qi, who was fat and big-eared, was in a panic and could not figure out a clue.
"I have a few questions in my heart, as long as Lord Chen answers truthfully." Ye Qing smiled at Chen Qi who was standing up.
"The official promised the King of Yan that everything he knew was said." Chen Qi, who was reluctant to sit down again after standing up, said hurriedly.
Jia She, who followed Ye Qing, looked at Ye Qing and glanced at him lightly, immediately understood it, and said, "Mr. Chen, are you familiar with Tan Zhiwang from Tongkai City?"
"Everyone is familiar." Tan Zhiwang nodded and said, then paused, "When he was in Liaoyang Prefecture, he would stay in Xianping for a short time every time he returned to Huining Prefecture, and the subordinates would treat him as the landlord every time."
"Since that's the case, then Tan Zhiwang has already taken action. Why do you want to deceive King Yan?" Jia She stepped forward and questioned with murderous aura on her face.
Chen Qi looked up and was stunned for a moment, then looked at Ye Qing who was calm and composed, and then shook his head and said, "The Lord... deceive the King of Yan? How dare the Lord of Yan? If the Lord deceives the King of Yan, how could the Lord of Yan take the initiative to surrender and even present the entire Xianping City to the King of Yan."
"Then I want to ask Lord Chen, how long can the various grains in this yamen be eaten now? If they are like Lord Chen, even with big fish and meat late at night, I'm afraid the big fish and meat in the entire Xianping Mansion are not enough for Lord Chen to eat alone, right? So Lord Chen is not so much for offering the city to King Yan, but I hope King Yan will give you a bite of food, right?" Jia She continued to ask with a sneer.
Chen Qi's eyes rolled, then sighed heavily, a little dejected but with a hint of righteousness, "If the King of Yan thinks that the Lord of Yan is deceiving the King of Yan, then the Lord of Xia recognizes it. Yes, the Lord of Xia takes the initiative to offer the city. In addition to wanting to survive, he also hopes that the King of Yan can give some food so that the people of Xianping Prefecture can have a bite. The Lord of Xia is willing to risk the crime of being regarded as a traitor by the Jinting. It is precisely because the Lord of Yan has long heard that the King of Yan loves the people and treats the people well, and the Lord of Xia... The Lord of Xia is also worried about the people of Xianping Prefecture who are not full and cannot wear warm clothes."
Chen Qi looked aggrieved and helpless. When he said that he was moved, he even patted his thighs with both hands and continued in a crying voice: "When the Jinting army retreated to Xianping Prefecture, he took the entire Xianping Prefecture granary for himself, and did not allow the officials to distribute the grain to the people in the city. Although the officials went to argue for the people several times, the officials were not careful and no one paid attention to it. King Yan, look at the weather outside. It was about to cool down. At that time, the people would not be full or warm in clothing. The officials would be fine again.
How could he bear to leave the people with the Jinting army? The reason why the Xiaguan was willing to stay was that he hoped that the King of Yan could do some more practical things for the people of Xianping City for the sake of the people. The Xiaguan was not afraid of death, hunger, or cold, and the Xiaguan even wanted to give his body to his body, but the Xiaguan's body obviously made the people unable to eat enough... Xiaguan regretted it. He should have argued with reason when the Jinting army was stationed and distributed the food to the people earlier. At that time, perhaps the Xiaguan would not be so regretful..."
Although Chen Qi's initial expression and mentality were aggrieved and helpless, he was already crying bitterly at the end of his speech. In the quiet night, almost the entire government office could hear Chen Qi's howling, which caused the guards outside to look at each other and look at the house here. Zhao Pan'er, who had just finished delivering a letter, heard the howling like a wolf howling, his first reaction was that he was wrongly thinking that Ye Qing had any intention.
Outside.
But when he saw that the soldiers of Ye Qing's personal guards were still standing in the corner of the yamen office, he instantly rejected this speculation, and then hurriedly ran towards Chen Qi, who was crying with curiosity.
When Zhao Paner came over, the howling and crying inside the house also came to an abrupt end. Ye Qing and Jia She walked out of the house together.
"What's wrong? Is something wrong?" Zhao Pan'er snatched the torch from the soldiers not far away, approached Ye Qing and looked up and down, asking.
The torch almost hit Ye Qing directly, forcing Ye Qing to reach out and bounce it on his fair forehead: "It was nothing, but if you burn me with another fire, you'll have to burn me."
"Who is crying? He was so heartbroken that he thought you..." Zhao Paner touched his forehead, put the torch backwards, and asked Ye Qing with a blank look.
"You're happy if I die, are you?" It was Ye Qing's turn to glance at Zhao Pan'er, and then walked towards the room he had just cleaned up for him.
Mo Xiaobao and Wanyan Chen all led their troops in the city to maintain order. Although they could hear some ghost calls from time to time in the middle of the night, including screams, and even the calls of some women for help, when it was almost dawn, Monk Wanyan Chen, who had been busy all night, still stabilized the order in Xianping City.
In the early morning, the city of Xianping was filled with mist, and teams of cavalry were patrolling the streets quietly. Both shops and houses on both sides of the road were closed with their doors closed, as if they had not yet come back to their senses from the panic last night, and as if the entire city was still in lingering fear.
In addition to the Song Ting soldiers patrolling the streets, they could not even see a vague figure. Even some big yellow dogs from the people were hiding in places that they thought were safe, clamping their tails, and alerting to the movements around them.
The black fur was already covered by Ye Qing, and the coolness of the morning was already a bit bit bone-black. Zhao Paner followed Ye Qing, wearing a white fur, and sat on a carriage with Ye Qing to patrol an uninhabited street. After the carriage passed, you could occasionally hear several guilty dog barking, shouting at their carriage behind him.
"How to deal with the people's forced granary last night?" After arriving at the door of the government office, I saw Mo Xiaobao, who had not closed his eyes all night, looking for him.
Seeing Ye Qing walk out of the carriage, Mo Xiaobao stepped forward and replied, "There is not much food. Even if you get something, you will be persuaded to return the things you haven't got it. Last night, Monk Wanyan Chen and I went to several households. To be honest, I can't get it out of the way."
"There are no Jinting spies mixed there?" Ye Qing asked while walking towards the yamen.
Mo Xiaobao followed behind, shook his head and said, "I didn't find it. However, the officials asked several households. They said that after the Jin soldiers retreated the day before yesterday, there was no news from where the next morning, and that yesterday, the government would not have anyone to guard the granary, and the people could just go over and get food."
"How much food and grass do we have?" Ye Qing asked after entering the hall.
Jia She, who was waiting, hurriedly said: "According to your instructions last night, we have contacted the army behind Yelu Yixue and others. The food and grass they carried with them should be transported to Xianping Prefecture later today. Even the news of Liaoyang Prefecture has arrived, the Queen of Jin... Then who will write that if nothing unexpected happens within three days, the food and grass in Liaoyang will be sent here."
Li Shi'er's current status is subtle and embarrassing. Even Jia She doesn't know how to call Li Shi'er on Ye Qing's face.
