The Song Dynasty on the Sand Table

Chapter 232 Just take a look at one copy

The news that the Jin army was coming spread quickly throughout the prefectures and counties of Shandong with the arrival of the Jin envoys.

Zhao Sheng of Qingzhou, Yangao of Weizhou, Li Kui of Mizhou, and Gong Yi of Laizhou, the four rebel armies will bear the brunt!

The four rebel armies were all unscrupulous and none of them were serious people. The common people were at a loss as to what to do.

At this time, the Qi family of Gaomi and the Ji family of Changyi began to take action, using their influence among the people to spread the word that "Jiaoshui is better" to the people of Weizhou and Mizhou. The people at that time had little knowledge and were completely clueless about what was happening ten miles away. They would believe what the local elders said 100%. Who else could they believe?
A large number of people voted with their feet, dragging their children and running towards Laizhou.

At this time, Yue Wenxuan was possessed by Master Ye and standing on the city wall of Mizhou City.

At the city gate, a group of lazy bandits dozed off, pretending to be on patrol. Meanwhile, a large number of ordinary people packed up their valuables and poured out of the city gate. A few ran south, probably intending to go to Jiangnan, while the majority headed east, heading for Jiaoshui and Jimo...

He was watching intently when Wu Jialiang came up to him and whispered, "The Gaomi Qi family is in great use. I hear people all over the city are talking about the good things about the glue."

Yue Wenxuan nodded. "The Qi family has great influence here. Not long ago, our Beggars' Sect disciples came here to pass on their message, but it didn't work. But once the Qi family speaks, the effect is remarkable. The people here are all willing to listen."

Li Kui popped his head out from the nearby city wall and waved, "Brother Jialiang, let's go, let's go have some drinks."

Wu Jialiang: "You black bastard, all you do is drink all day long. The Jin thieves are almost here, and you're still drinking."

Li Kui: "Why bother with him so much!"

"Brother Li Kui!" A man came running over from a distance. It was Wu Shun, one of Li Kui's men. "Brother Li Kui, something terrible has happened. The people in our city are packing up their things and heading east to Laizhou."

Li Kui said, "I am now the governor of Mizhou. You should call me Governor Li, and stop calling me Brother Li Kui. If someone doesn't know us, they might think we are thieves."

Wu Shun: “…”

Wu Jialiang: “…”

Yue Wenxuan: “…”

The three of them were speechless for a while, thinking: How do you not look like a thief?
Wu Shun had no choice but to change his words: "Li Zhizhou, our people have fled. What should we do? How about I lead the troops to stop them?"

Li Kui: "If they leave, then leave. Why do you care about them?"

Wu Shun, the Great Khan: "The people are also our wealth."

Li Kui: “???”

His dark forehead was filled with question marks: "The people are wealth?"

Wu Shun was speechless for a moment. Damn, he's so idiotic. It's really hard to talk to this guy.

He had no choice but to give up on the treatment and turned to Wu Jialiang and said, "Brother Jialiang, since my brother calls you brother, then you are also my brother. What are the people on your side doing? Why did you come to our side to confuse the people? You brought all our people from Mizhou to your side. Is this what a brother should do? You are poaching my brothers!"

Wu Jialiang was a little embarrassed...

Although this is for the good of the people, it does seem like an attempt to poach brothers.

Fortunately, I didn’t slept with my brother’s wife, otherwise I really couldn’t even mention the word “brother”.

Wu Jialiang had no choice but to play dirty: "This is not my doing. I came here just to persuade Brother Li Kui to surrender to the prince, but I didn't use any tricks to drive away the people of Mizhou. This was done by Gaomi Qi Shi. It must be that Qi Shi went to Jimo to meet Prince He. He claimed to be a loyal minister of the Song Dynasty and wanted to get the people to go to the prince."

Wu Shun squinted his eyes... Li Kui grinned: "What about Wang Qishi? Just hearing about it gives me a headache. Why should I care about them? Let's go and have some drinks."

Everyone: "..."

Wu Shun: "Brother... ahem... Li Zhizhou, given the current situation, we can't drink every day anymore."

Li Kui: "I finally became the boss, now I am the local emperor of Mizhou. The real emperor can drink and listen to music every day, so why can't I, the local emperor?"

Everyone: "..."

Li Kui: "Why worry about so much? Let's have some wine."

Everyone: "..."

Wu Shun was so overwhelmed by his rude words that he even forgot to confront Wu Jialiang. For a moment, he didn't even know where to start complaining. Should he complain about his own brother first? Or his brother's brother?
Just when the atmosphere was becoming awkward, someone came to break the awkwardness.

A small group of cavalrymen came running from the official road outside the south gate of the city. Leading them was a man dressed like a eunuch, slightly plump, with a pale face and no beard. He looked a little haggard, probably from the long ride. But as soon as he reached the city gate, he immediately pulled himself together, pretending to be very impressive, and shouted, "The imperial edict has arrived! Governor of Mizhou, why don't you come out to receive it quickly?"

The embarrassed people on the city wall all turned their attention to the eunuch.

Yue Wenxuan thought to himself: Oh! Here it comes! I had a feeling it would come one of these days.

Li Kui grinned, "The old emperor actually sent a eunuch to issue an eunuch to the prefect? ​​Hahaha, doesn't he know that the prefect Zhao Ye has been killed by us?"

Wu Shun was at a loss for words: "Brother Li Kui, how could the emperor not know about such a big thing? This eunuch was sent here to give you an imperial decree."

Li Kui pointed at his nose and said, "Give me an order?"

Wu Shun: "You just asked me to call you Li Zhizhou, so this decree is certainly for you."

Li Kui: "Ah? The old emperor actually acknowledged me as the prefect?"

Everyone was speechless for a while.

Yue Wenxuan was secretly laughing in his heart: Zhao Gou is now desperate and trying all kinds of methods. He can even admit that the fake He Wang is the real He Wang. What else is he afraid of admitting?
Everyone knows you are a thief, but everyone pretends not to know you are a thief!
Li Kui was a little proud. He straightened his clothes, opened the city gate and went out to welcome them.

When the eunuch saw Li Kui's appearance, he cursed in his heart: You are an illiterate guy, how can you be a prefect?

But outwardly, he spoke in a pleasant manner: "My name is Thirty-Two, you can call me Third Eunuch. Magistrate Li! I've long heard of your bravery and courage, and seeing you today, I see you're truly a hero. The emperor has heard of your heroic deeds and has issued a special decree in your honor. Come and receive it."

Receiving an imperial decree is a big deal and requires a lot of etiquette.

But Li Kui didn't know how to do any of them, nor did he bother to do any. He stretched out his right hand and made a careless gesture: "Give it to me and let me see it."

The eunuch cursed in his heart, but he didn't bother with the etiquette. He opened a small box and took out a scroll of imperial edict...

Li Kui was sharp-eyed and noticed at a glance that there were many identical imperial edicts in the small box. He couldn't help but shout, "Hey, you have so many imperial edicts in your box, take them all out so I can have a look."

The eunuch was furious, but he dared not lash out. He just chuckled and said, "There's nothing interesting about it. The contents are all the same. They are addressed to the governors of various prefectures in Shandong. You only need to read one copy. This is called 'waste of time'."
