Daming: At the start of the showdown, Lao Zhu was stunned

Chapter 244 The Ignored Ru Taisu

Ru too vegetarian?It turned out to be Ru Tai Su?How could Ma Fengsun not know this person? After all, this person had just moved to Suzhou, and he unreasonably blocked the shops of many merchants in Suzhou. A large amount of food.

It's just, how could this old guy appear here.

Isn't he under house arrest by Zhu Su's child?

House arrest... House arrest?
Ma Fengsun suddenly realized.

Regarding Zhu Su's grievances and grievances with this old man, people in the Suzhou mansion once taught people to talk about it for a while.It is said that this old man offended King Wu Zhu Su when he was in the capital, so the first thing the young and vigorous King Wu did after arriving in Suzhou Mansion was to find an excuse for this old man and put him under house arrest.At that time, there were still many people who wanted to complain about it.

But later, the king of Wu tricked the merchants again, scraped out a huge amount of food to appease the people and the victims, and did better than Ru Taisu, which gave the people a reassurance, and no one said anything about it. Mouth.

Ru Taisu, who once made great contributions to fighting the disaster but is now under house arrest, was gradually forgotten by everyone.No one cares anymore.

I thought that no one in the Suzhou Mansion could hold on to the situation, but who would have thought that this long-forgotten Yushi Xunhe would suddenly appear at this critical juncture?
"The despicable little Zhu Su, unexpectedly released the house arrest secretly, and even said that this old man was in trouble with him!" Ma Fengsun felt great hatred in his heart!

What he expected was right, Zhu Su did tell Ru Taisu of his plan, after all, although this old man has a bad temper, he still knows the overall situation overall.

But even so, Zhu Su just wanted him to sit in the government office, just in case.If the people in the city panic when they see the fighting, the presence of an official like Ru Taisu who is quite popular among the people can prevent the chaos from expanding.It's just that Zhu Su didn't expect that the remnants of the Zhang family could actually pull out hundreds of dead soldiers, and even secretly hid heavy armor, forcing Di Meng, who was with nearly a thousand soldiers, to try to ask for help from the Suzhou Guard .

However, Di Mengren kept his words light, even though he still had the status of Jinyiwei, he was just a mere school lieutenant.Moreover, the prestige of Jinyiwei has not yet spread to Suzhou, and the soldiers of the Suzhou Guard who stayed in the guard camp may not be obedient, so Di Meng thought of Ru Taisu who was sitting in the government office, and invited this big Buddha out .

Yang Lu, the commander of the Suzhou Guard, is still in the west of the city. Without Yang Lu's order, if Di Meng and others wanted to privately transfer the army, they might not be able to do so.

But it's different if it's Ru Taisu. Ru Taisu carries the official title of patrolling the river on his back, and when it comes to floods and bandits, his power is even greater than that of Fu Zun Wei Guan.Or the demoted official in Beijing, the old firecracker who dared to fight against the prince, the one who dared to stroke his beard among the hundreds of households left behind in the guard?

Even if they wanted to prevaricate, there was nothing they could do. Ru Taisu used his former imperial censor's housekeeping skills: sprayed all the hundreds of households in the guard, and told them that if they missed a major event, they would definitely be involved in the investigation. All of them are guilty of missing a military plane.

Several thousand households wiped the saliva sprayed on their faces and discussed for a while, but they didn't dare to take this responsibility. It's okay to send more people from left to right to stand in the preparation warehouse. The military aircraft was charged with a good crime, and in the end more than a thousand soldiers were assigned to Ru Taisu, and they were asked to follow Ru Taisu to guard the reserve warehouse.

A group of soldiers originally complained, how could they be willing to take on such drudgery on this New Year's Eve?It was only because of Ru Taisu, a senior official, that he reluctantly obeyed the order.Later, when I saw the fire in Pishi Street, I realized that there were really thieves making trouble in the city.

When the warehouse door was knocked open, a group of wet and embarrassed mob rushed in recklessly, and most of them fell down in a shower of arrows. These people were even more overjoyed: This is the legendary Taihu water bandit?This is the military merit brought to your door!

"Shoot the arrows! Shoot them to death!" Ru Taisu shouted loudly.The archers of Suzhou Wei behind them were inexplicably excited, and another rain of arrows shot at the chaotic Zhang family remnants.

"The big thing is over!" Ma Fengsun was already in despair.

"God doesn't bless me! King Cheng, you have a spirit in the sky, why don't you protect us! Why don't you protect us!"

……

……

……

"Hey? Over there... Could it be the direction of the government office?"

"Why is there such a big fire..."

In the west of the city, in the building, someone among the crowd who was originally singing and dancing, noticed the abnormality outside the window and asked loudly.

When Zhu Su heard that the government office was on fire, his heart skipped a beat.Could it be that Di Meng failed?
"...Dog, go and have a look."

If the preparation storehouse burns down, the hearts of the victims in the west of the city will inevitably fluctuate. I have spent the past few days trying to calm down the situation, but my success will fall short.

"Your Highness, could it be..."

No one listened to the musician's music, and many people gathered at the windows on the east side, looking at the raging flames in the distance.The original happy atmosphere in the building changed, and people panicked for a while.The magistrate Wei Guan, who knew Zhu Su's plan earlier, came over and whispered: "...Could it be that the plan failed, and General Di failed to stop the thief?"

"If that's the case, it's better to leave the banquet early and let me return to maintain the situation!"

"No hurry, let's take a look first." Zhu Su said.It stands to reason that it shouldn't be. In the original history, there was no such thing as Zhang Chen's evil rebellion. Either they were silenced silently or they were self-destructed. In other words, this group of people should not have much background in their hands. yes.Even though the opponent's strength varies due to his own butterfly effect, it has only been a short period of time since he started to interfere in history, and it is impossible to develop a million-dollar army in this short period of time.

More than a thousand soldiers plus dozens of his own Wang Wei, no matter what happens, they will not lose to a group of thieves hiding in the dark.

The dog has a telescope in his hand, and it is enough to see the distant situation clearly.After a while, he came over to report to Zhu Su: "Your Highness, it is a happy event. There is no fire in the preparation warehouse."

"It's Pishi Street that's on fire. And the fire has gradually extinguished. Someone should be putting it out."

"Pishi Street..." Zhu Su frowned first, then heaved a sigh of relief.

It seems that something went wrong, Di Meng and his party did not ambush the bandit army at the originally agreed place, but fought with the bandit army at Pishi Street.

But it shouldn't be a big deal, after all, the reserve warehouse didn't catch fire, and Di Meng and his party should have won the battle in the end: if the gang of thieves won, they wouldn't have the intention to put out the fire, they hoped that the city would be as chaotic as possible.Only when Di Meng wins, in order to avoid further expansion of the situation, will the sergeant be put into the task of putting out the fire.

After telling his analysis to Wei Guan who was still worried, Wei Guan also breathed a sigh of relief. "So, at this time, the remnants of the thieves entrenched in the Suzhou mansion should have been wiped out."

"As the magistrate of Suzhou, the old minister should thank His Highness. Thank you for your great efforts to help Suzhou completely suppress this hidden danger..."

"It doesn't matter. But the matter is not yet clear, so don't take it lightly..." Zhu Su said. "Seeing the flames in the city, I'm afraid that people's hearts will fluctuate. We should try to appease people's hearts first, and then join Di Meng and others."

He was a little concerned about what kind of unexpected situation happened to Di Meng.

Wei Guan nodded, but a tense nerve has been relaxed.As long as the banditry is eliminated and the city is gradually stabilized, even if the flood comes again, there will be no big problems.As the magistrate of Suzhou, if I want to come to the next term of office, I can spend more time...

Wei Guan, who let go of the big stone in his heart, did not expect that at this time, in the river where the building backs him, there are dozens of ghostly figures poking their heads out of the icy river.
