Wenzhou Prefecture, Yongjia County.

The Fuguo County, where this prefecture is located, welcomed a special army today.

This army had more than a thousand people, but the army was not in a state of disguise, and some soldiers even threw away their armor.

They were covered in blood and obviously had just experienced a fierce battle.

But judging from the outfit, this army was obviously the Qing army.

The soldiers guarding the city did not dare to delay and hurried to report to their generals.

The Qing general who is now staying in Wenzhou is named Liu Yongfang, who is a Han army bannerman.

The nobleman who promoted him was Lang Tingzuo, the governor of Liangjiang.

Therefore, Liu Yongfang was loyal to Lang Tingzuo and obeyed the orders.

Lang Tingzuo sent Liu Yongfang to Wenzhou just in case.

After all, Wenzhou directly borders Fujian. If he has any accidents, he can retreat to Wenzhou and then retreat to Fujian.

Only by leaving a confidant in Wenzhou can he be at ease.

Liu Yongfang was working in the yamen office. When he saw his personal soldiers report that the soldiers guarding the city said they had something important to report, he waved his hand to let him in.

The soldiers guarding the city walked into the yamen tremblingly, knelt down on the ground and kowtowed, "Report to General Soldiers, an army of more than a thousand people was found outside the city. They claimed that they were from Taizhou and kept calling. The villain did not dare to make a decision, so they rushed to report to General Soldiers."

"oh?"

Liu Yongfang stood up and walked to the soldier and asked, "Are they under the banner of Governor Lang?"

"Look at the flag should be."

Liu Yongfang was overjoyed when he heard this.

Governor Lang was indeed a clever plan, so he asked him to go to Wenzhou to garrison in advance for emergency needs.

It seems that everything is within his expectations.

"Prepare horses, this general will go to greet them in person."

Liu Yongfang was already sure that the person coming was Lang Tingzuo, and he was eager to meet this mentor who had a good reputation for him.

But Liu Yongfang brought dozens of people with him to the city gate to beat horses and whip.

The crowd turned over and dismounted and walked along the horse path to the city wall.

Liu Yongfang looked closely and saw more than a thousand soldiers standing outside the city gate.

These people were wearing the Qing army's flag and dressed up by the Qing army, so there should be no problem.

But Liu Yongfang looked at it carefully several times and found no Lang Tingzuo.

Could this be just a partial division sent by Governor Lang?

Liu Yongfang was puzzled and asked at the top of her voice: "Do you dare to ask which camp the visitor is from Governor Lang?"

Lang Tingzuo's confidant Liu Yongfang basically knew him, and he could find out the truth with just a little question.

"I am Shi Lang, the navy admiral, General Liu, open the door quickly."

Shi Lang?

Liu Yongfang was stunned after hearing this response.

Naturally, he could not have known Shi Lang, but in his impression, Shi Lang should not be Lang Tingzuo's confidant, and at most he could only be said to be a celebrity.

There is still a big difference between celebrities and confidants. Celebrities may just use them, but confidants can be reused.

No matter what, Shi Lang is one of the top figures around Lang Tingzuo. Liu Yongfang did not dare to neglect and quickly said loudly: "General Shi, please wait? I will order someone to open the city gate."

But after Liu Yongfang ordered people to open the city gate, Shi Lang and others immediately rushed in impatiently.

Liu Yongfang stepped forward to greet him, clasped his fists and said with a laugh: "I will meet General Shi."

In terms of official position and rank, Shi Lang, the navy admiral, must be higher than Liu Yongfang's general.

But Liu Yongfang is not a subordinate of Shi Lang? He is not under Shi Lang's jurisdiction.

So there is actually no need for Liu Yongfang to be so polite to Shi Lang.

The reason why he is like this is because he sees Lang Tingzuo's face.

After all, Lang Tingzuo is very good to Shi Lang, and there is no need for Liu Yongfang to lose his etiquette in such trivial matters.

"General Liu doesn't need to be polite? Shi came from afar? Let's talk to the government office."

Shi Lang was exhausted and forced a smile. Liu Yongfang understood it? He nodded gently.

...

...

In the flower hall of the government office? Shi Lang and Liu Yongfang took their seats together.

Maybe it was because he was too thirsty when he rushed forward? Shi Lang drank a teapot of tea in one breath and was satisfied. He sighed and said, "General Liu? The weather has changed in Taizhou."

Liu Yongfang was shocked when she heard this.

"What did General Shi say? The weather has changed in Taizhou?"

Where is Taizhou? That is Governor Lang's residence.

Shi Lang said that Taizhou has changed? Wouldn't that mean that Governor Lang is in danger?

As a subordinate promoted by Lang Tingzuo, Liu Yongfang was very worried and asked: "How is Governor Lang? What happened? General Shi, tell me quickly."

Shi Lang had long expected Liu Yongfang to be so excited and said slowly: "General Liu is at ease. It's a long story to say this, so let Shi talk about it slowly."

Shi Lang swallowed and spitted? Then he continued: "This matter has to start with the rebel general Miao Fanglin."

Shi Lang mentioned Miao Fanglin? Liu Yongfang immediately became alert.

Miao Fanglin is the head of the Governor Lang's Bian Battalion? This matter must be closely related to Governor Lang.

"This Miao Fanglin is really worse than a pig or a dog. Governor Lang treats him well? But he secretly communicates with the open and thieves, and while Governor Lang is unprepared, he opens the city gate and lets the open and thieves enter the city."

Shi Lang made a gritting expression, which was very convincing to cooperate with his words.

In fact, what he said is half true and half false.

Is Miao Fanglin really moved his mind and wanted to launch a mutiny? Resign to the Ming army.

The fake thing is that Miao Fanglin's small moves were fully visible to Lang Tingzuo and suppressed in advance.

Taizhou City was not broken by Miao Fanglin.

The reason why Shi Lang said this was to blame Miao Fanglin, and the other was to make Liu Yongfang give up.

After all, Taizhou City has been destroyed, and no matter how capable Lang Tingzuo has, he will be dead.

A Qing court official of this level would be dead if he was captured by the Ming army.

The difference is just how to die.

Shi Lang had already thought before coming that Liu Yongfang was Lang Tingzuo's confidant. If Shi Lang could not completely turn the blame, Liu Yongfang would definitely doubt him.

There was a Miao Fanglin here, so Shi Lang naturally had to use it and took the opportunity to clean himself clean.

"This dog thief!"

Sure enough, after hearing Shi Lang's words, Liu Yongfang jumped up in anger.

"Where is Governor Lang, why didn't Governor Lang come with General Shi?"

Liu Yongfang seemed very excited and her entire neck was flushed red.

"General Liu, be calm."

Shi Lang pretended to be extremely painful and sighed: "Governor Lang was going to break through with Shi, but unexpectedly, Miao Fanglin shot an arrow from behind and fell off his horse's back. The traitor rushed over and tied up Governor Lang. I guess he had already given it to the Ming thief at this moment?"

Shi Lang said as he squeezed out some tears and wiped them with his sleeve.

When Liu Yongfang heard this, he almost couldn't breathe and turned his back.

"How could this happen? How could this happen?"

He really couldn't accept this result. Governor Lang is his great benefactor. Now that he has not yet repayed his kindness, how could Governor Lang die?
