Liu Pei casually opened a box, which was full of copper coins. Some of them were stained with dark red blood! Looking at the blood, you can tell the source of the copper coins.

Liu Pei ordered the officer to say, "Go and find someone to load the caravan, then pretend to be a caravan and go south directly, don't stop here. You can do it yourself."

The officer nodded and said, "I understand, the general. But this is a good thing! At least we have earned back the military expenditure of the troops this time!"

After arranging the unexpected gains, Liu Pei began to patrol the city. Suddenly an officer came to report: "Master, several local gentry asked for a visit."

Liu Pei frowned and said, "Didn't it mean to let martial law be imposed? How could they ask for a meeting together?"

The officer whispered: "These local gentry all live together, and it is easy to get a message through the courtyard wall. Therefore, we can ask for a meeting together."

Liu Pei thought about it and said nothing about the officer, "Take them to the yamen, and I will meet them there."

As soon as Lu Pei entered the yamen, he threw his helmet on the county magistrate's table. The guards led the seven people in. Liu Pei looked up and saw that the clothes worn by these seven people were extraordinary! Especially the old man at the front, the jade pendant on his waist was probably worth 200 taels of silver! Liu Pei's eyes were getting angry! Liu Pei was wondering if he could just wash Zunhua City?

Liu Pei knew that these people were robbed by the Later Jin army once and had such a strong family background. Without asking, it must be that the Later Jin army sacrificed a lot of things to save their property when they entered the city. In addition, Huang Taiji was determined to occupy Zunhua, Luanping and other cities and treat them as their own land. Otherwise, whether these people could live would be another matter.

Because Liu Pei was wearing his own plate armor, not the mountain armor commonly used by Ming generals. So these people could not see Liu Pei's grade at all. After looking at each other, the old man with a crutch on his head said first: "I don't know what the general's surname is, and what position does the official position hold? Lao Jiu's surname is Zhao, and he is from the city. The other people are also local gentry."

Liu Pei bowed and said, "I have met my father-in-law. My official surname is Liu, now

He was appointed as the garrison of Jiaozhou."

As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Pei saw a hint of contempt and disdain in the eyes of several people. Liu Pei knew more about the character of these people. I am afraid that there are high-ranking officials and nobles behind the family, and they don’t care about their own small guards at all.

Sure enough, the old man who was leading the way was straightened up at this time, raised his hand casually and said, "It turned out to be Lord Liu in front of him! I just don't know how many soldiers and horses Mr. Liu brought to serve the king this time? Who is under the control of whom?"

As these people spoke, they had already found a seat to sit down. It looked like they were the masters and Liu Pei was a guest. The guards around Liu Pei were already angry when they saw this scene! The guards worshipped Liu Pei like gods on weekdays. Seeing that these people were slow to treat Liu Pei, they couldn't help but press their hands on the hilt of the knife, and waited for Liu Pei to dismember the several people with orders!

Liu Pei of course understood the thoughts of the guards. He quietly waved his hand to signal the guards to stabilize. Then he said, "I don't have many people under my command, only two thousand people. And I came from Shandong in a hurry and hadn't even reported to Shangguan. I just heard the news that the Later Jin Tartars were staying in Zunhua, so we went straight to Zunhua. As a result, we didn't expect that we were here, but the Later Jin Tartars didn't know where they went?"

Mr. Zhao was overjoyed after hearing this and said, "This is just right! Since Lord Liu is not under the jurisdiction of the Supreme Government, Lord Liu Da might as well stay here in Zunhua City to defend the city! As long as Lord Liu defends the city, it will naturally be a great achievement! At that time, we will jointly recommend Lord Liu."

Liu Pei was not willing to stay in Zunhua! This place was a must-have place for Huang Taiji to return to the army. How could Liu Pei support the two thousand people facing the 100,000 army? So Liu Pei immediately shook his head and said, "Sorry, I came here to serve the king, so I naturally had to go to fight the Later Jin Tartars. Even if I couldn't catch up with the Later Jin Tartars, I had to go to Shangguan to report. How could I stay in Zunhua City without orders!"

These people looked at each other with a smile in their eyes. This made Liu Pei feel a little puzzled. Mr. Zhao said again: "Don't worry about this Lord Liu. I will talk to them about your Shangguan place. And Lord Liu stays here to guard it.

In the city, we will definitely donate some money to reward the man with the adults!”

Liu Pei suddenly realized after hearing this! It turned out that these people felt that they refused to defend the city to extort benefits! But he really did not have the strength to fight against Huang Taiji's 100,000 troops. Moreover, once he stayed here, it would create an illusion for the local people, and that if the army protected them, they would not leave. When Huang Taiji returned to the city to conquer Zunhua, he would not know how many more people would die and how many would be kidnapped!

So Liu Pei was preparing to create a situation where Zunhua City was unguarded so that the people would flee south. So Liu Pei said simply: "Several, don't think I'm staying here. I won't stay here. I've found out that there is a Later Jin army in Santun Camp. I'm going to attack Santun Camp for a day!"

These people were anxious when they heard this. They originally thought it was quite good. With more than 2,000 people guarding the city, they would naturally be much safer. However, they did not expect that this small garrison was ignorant of policing and did not accept his suggestion, and he actually wanted to go to Santun Camp to fight the Later Jin army! Then how could the Later Jin army be provoked? If the Later Jin army did not defeat the Later Jin army and instead recruited the Later Jin army, wouldn’t everyone here be in trouble?

So several people took turns to persuade Liu Pei, hoping that Liu Pei would stay to defend the city, but Liu Pei insisted on disagreeing. After saying a few words, a middle-aged scholar-like man slapped the handrail and said loudly: "Why are you so stupid? Do you know what family background is the old man in front of you? He has a nephew who works as a doctor in the Ministry of Revenue. Even those present have family elders serving as officials in the court! All the people present say they want to jointly recommend you, why are you still so ignorant of politeness?"

Liu Pei was no longer angry at this time. He felt that there would be no good result if he continued to talk to these ignorant people. In their opinion, if they had the power, everyone should revolve around them! But they didn't know what the power in their hands would be useful when the butcher knife of the Later Jin army was cut down?
