In order to make his image better, Li Meng straightened his body and gradually spoke loudly...

When the banquet ended and after walking out of the palace, Li Meng found that his back was covered in sweat and was already wet. A small banquet was even more nervous than leading the army to fight.

If you want to go back to the mansion where you live, you naturally cannot go back in the clothes of a grocery store, but you have made proper arrangements. When you walk out of the area of ​​the palace, Li Meng and several of the personal guards around you have already changed into the clothes of a waiter in a restaurant.

He was carrying a food box in his hand and slowly turned back to his residence. When he was about to reach his residence, several servants came forward to ask. Li Meng didn't say anything, but the guards who were guarding him spoke in Henan dialect. The food box was indeed filled with exquisite wine and food.

Those servants no longer paid attention to it. The city of Kaifeng City looked completely different from outside the city. It was like hell outside the city, but there were still singing and dancing in the city, and the peace was extremely peaceful.

However, hunger and beggars on the side of the street are also everywhere, and officials and yamen runners are too lazy to pay attention to it. Although Li Meng's residence is the governor's office, there are still be beggars leaning against the wall on the street outside. It seems that they are sleeping on the streets at night. Although it is April, the weather is still very cold. I really don't know how these people can get through it.

It was already completely dark, and Li Meng and his group were pretending to make lanterns. It is said that this is the characteristic of this restaurant.

The three big words "Yingfenglou" are written on the lantern. It is really conspicuous with this big lantern at night and has a good advertising effect.

The lantern is quite bright. Even if Li Meng lowered his head, his face was clearly reflected by the light of the lantern. Of course, there is no need to worry about who will recognize it. Even if there are spies and yamen runners around, they can only know that Li Meng is the general of Shandong when he is wearing the general's uniform.

You would never recognize such casual clothes anyway, and Li Meng still walked in the center with his head down, and the six guys around him who were also pretending to deliver food were surrounded by him.

On the street outside the Governor's Office and Li Meng's residence, there were two or three beggars standing upside down there. It was so late that the beggars would fall asleep whether they were full or hungry, but there was a ragged beggar looking around there, which looked very special.

The local yamen runners and soldiers wandering around the government office ignored the beggar, but the guards around Li Meng increased their guards in this direction, and their main focus was on the beggar.

However, the beggar ignored Li Meng and his group and watched him pass by. But when Li Meng walked past them, the ragged beggar glanced at Li Meng in a guy's costume while looking around, but suddenly opened his eyes wide.

The guard leaning on this side either reached into the food box or put his hands in his arms, but the beggar struggled to stand up but couldn't stand up. He seemed to have weak legs and fell to the ground again.

"Master, go quickly, there's something weird on the street."

A guard whispered to Li Meng. Li Meng turned his head to look at the beggar. He was quite thin, his face was gray-black, and the rags on his body were also black, and he seemed to suffer a lot. The beggar and Li Meng looked at each other and wanted to shout, but looked at the wandering officers nearby and did not make a sound.

Li Meng and the others accelerated their pace, and the beggar struggled to get up and staggered after him. The beggar chased the restaurant's staff, as if he was not begging, and the main task of these servants swaying around the governor's office was to protect and monitor Li Meng and his personal soldiers who lived there. Just watch the fun of such a city.

After speeding up, the beggar obviously couldn't keep up, but he didn't shout, just followed him. As soon as Li Meng and his men entered the neighborhood of their residence, there were already people waiting to come over and shouted:

"Why did you come here? Our Grandmaster is already anxious."

A group of personal guards surrounded the seven people and walked towards the door. The beggar who was chasing behind had been dropped for more than ten steps and was almost unable to catch up.

The beggar suddenly cried loudly:

"General Li...Military Li, I finally found you. The villain needs to report any matter and any major matter!!"

The sound was somewhat familiar. Li Meng did not turn his head, but just ordered coldly:

"Bring him in to see me!"

When Li Meng lived near the house, he didn't need to hide anything. When the personal soldiers around him heard this, he turned around and gave instructions.

Immediately, more than a dozen personal soldiers ran towards the beggar. As soon as the beggar cried, the wandering officials and yamen runners noticed this place, and a group of people rushed over quickly.

However, the personal soldiers around Li Meng pulled out their swords. The original task of the yamen runners was to stare at this place and not make any trouble. At best, they were just a function of maintaining public order. They were unwilling to fight to the death. Seeing the soldiers of Jiaozhou Camp draw out the swords, these people took a few steps back and smiled, and ignored them.

Li Meng changed his clothes inside and walked into the living room. The beggar was already waiting there. Several personal soldiers found clothes for the beggar to change, washed up briefly, and brought him a bowl of hot soup.

As soon as the beggar was removed, Li Meng found that he really recognized it. It was Sun Zhiyang, the magistrate of Lanyang County. But he hadn't seen him for ten days and had become such a embarrassed look.

What is the Lanyang County Magistrate who comes to find him? If you want to find him, you should also find someone like Kaifeng Prefect or the General Secretary. Is it related to him, a military general from Shandong?

Moreover, seeing Sun Zhiyang's embarrassing appearance, he seemed to have suffered a military disaster. Thinking of this, Li Meng felt a stern and turned around to ask Yuan Wenhong, the clerk of the army, who said:

"Is there any incident at the Zhaopizhai Ferry?"

Yuan Wenhong could remember almost all the information sent to him every day, and said in a low voice after thinking about it:

"Reporting to the Grand Marshal, there is nothing wrong with the Ferry and Transportation. The only news reported was that the left army in Lanyang County the day before yesterday."

Li Meng breathed a sigh of relief and turned around and was about to ask what was going on. Sun Zhiyang drank the hot soup and changed his clothes and had recovered a lot. Seeing Li Meng's eyes coming, he put down the soup bowl, knelt on the ground with a thud, kowtowed repeatedly, and said in a crying voice:

"Please ask the commander to make the decision for the subordinates!!"

This made Li Meng really confused. Whether in terms of civil and military affairs or the jurisdiction, it was not his turn to be the one who made the decision.

The personal soldiers and Yuan Wenhong in the room also looked at each other in a confused manner. At this time, Wang Hai finished patrolling around the house and arranged night defense. When he walked into the room, he was shocked by the scene.

There was a sound of slapping the slap outside, but there was still a sound in the room. The sound of Lanyang County Magistrate's head hitting the ground was not less than that of the slap, and soon blood was seen on his forehead.

Li Meng looked around the left and right in the room and found that everyone was just like him, and they were a little confused. Looking at Sun Zhiyang who was still kowtowing there, the young county magistrate was very stunning if I didn't agree to me. Li Meng was a little impatient and couldn't help but shout angrily:

"What's the matter? Tell me out first. I'll always kowtow there, it's useless!"

This angry shout made Sun Zhiyang, who was kowtowing on the ground, tremble all over. He slowly looked up and looked at the way he was crying. Li Meng was the most ashamed of the man crying. The other party's condition made him frown. Just as he was about to continue speaking, a soldier outside hurriedly ran in and reported:

"Master, our people from outside the city said that they were some important matters to report to the Master."

At this time, the city gates were already closed. If someone entered the city at this time, the only way was to enter and exit through the city gate through a hanging basket. It seems that this matter is really not small.

Sun Zhiyang was also a little surprised and stopped crying. Soon, a young man dressed in a cavalry hurried into the house. Seeing the young man covered in dust, his face was extremely pale. Just as he was about to kneel down to salute, Li Meng waved his hand and ordered:

"No need to kneel down, what happened?"

Everyone in the room was fully focused on what urgent news the personal soldier who rushed over came over, and ignored the outsider Sun Zhiyang, the magistrate of Lanyang County. The personal soldier took a few breaths and said hurriedly:

"Master, the day before yesterday, the left army entered Lanyang County... The city was washed on the day of entering the city. Yesterday, the city gate was closed and the plunder was robbed. The officials at the ferry at the ferry sent me to report to the ferry at the ferry at the ferry at the ferry at the ferry at the ferry at the ferry at the ferry at the ferry at the ferry at the ferry at the ferry at the ferry at the ferry at the ferry at the ferry at the ferry at the ferry at the ferry at the ferry at the ferry at the ferry at the ferry at the ferry at the ferry at the ferry at the ferry at the ferry at the ferry at the ferry at the ferry at the ferry at the ferry at the ferry at the ferry at the ferry at the ferry at the ferry at the

The soldiers of Jiaozhou Camp would not ask how to deal with it. The other party would dare to attack. The Jiaozhou Camp's response was to fight back mercilessly. However, in the other place, and facing the official army, they were still in front of the public, they really wanted to make a decision.

This matter is really not a big deal for Jiaozhou Camp. It is nothing more than a fight. The cavalry who came to send the message looked at the pale face and haggard appearance, but they obviously had a little overreacted.

Li Meng was about to give an order, but Sun Zhiyang, who had been standing by the side, suddenly made a loud sad voice and knelt on the ground again. However, this time he did not kowtow, but just cried and said:

"General Li, the people of Lanyang County, are miserable..."

Now everyone in the room understood why the Lanyang magistrate looked like this. Li Meng did not ask, but instead turned his attention to the cavalry who was sending the message.

The cavalry understood that the commander was asking him, and he quickly bowed and replied:

"The day before yesterday, the left side entered Lanyang County. According to the observation of the horses, the troops in this unit were about 6,000. They entered the city and divided the troops to block the gate of the county. I don't know what happened inside, but the crying sounded loudly. Yesterday, the city was quieter, but the city gate was not opened until noon. The small one rode his horse and passed by the city near the city, and smelled a fishy smell."

He hesitated for a while and whispered:

"I felt something was wrong halfway through the way. I vomited three times immediately and was a little out of control. I hope the general will not be surprised."

The crying of the Lanyang County Magistrate Sun Zhiyang, who was like a beggar, and the narrative of the cavalry, gradually became clearer. The people in the living room, whether it was Li Meng or the personal soldiers on duty, had their faces that became ugly.
