Lu Qianhu made a move, and the effect was obvious.

Gu Yushi worked hard for a long time, but he didn't ask a single suspect, and when it came to Lu Qianhu's hands, the people who looked at the list were dizzy.

"These are all traitors?" Gu Qian looked at the rows of names, and was a little afraid, this is all human life!

"It's just a preliminary confession, it hasn't been verified. Lu Ji's face was a little cold, regardless of whether Zhao Jinhu and Zhao Daping's confessions were selfish or not, most of the people on this list had to die.

"What about this list?" Gu Qian asked in a low voice.

"Naturally, it will be handed over to Master Zhang. ”

"But......" Gu Qian hesitated for a moment, and said to Lu Ji stubbornly, "You don't know the consequences, do you?"

Zhang Yuan was just waiting for an excuse to send troops, Lu sent this list and handed it in, he definitely handed a knife to Zhang Yuan's hand, or the kind that was super sharp and invincible.

"Of course I do. Lu Ji glanced at Gu Qian, as if wondering why Gu Qian asked such a stupid question.

Who is stupid in the end! Understood the meaning of Lu Ji's gaze in seconds, Gu Qian almost exploded, do you know which side you are on? If you don't help Governor Xu, forget it, you even handed the knife to Zhang Yuan's hand, do you want to pit your teammates like this!

It's inconvenient to reveal the meaning of the alliance here, but Lu Ji still understood, the corners of his mouth picked up, and he said nonchalantly, "I still have something to do, let's go first." ”

Hey? This is leaving? Gu Qian watched Lu Ji's back disappear around the corner dumbfounded, and said in his heart, What is this! Even if he can't help a lot, shouldn't he communicate with each other about anything? Just pulling his legs and leaving, isn't it too bad to take the imperial history as a cadre?

"My lord, let's go back first. Seeing that Gu Qian was still stunned, Gu Tai walked over and touched his elbow.

Gu Qian looked away and nodded a little frustratedly.

The night of the side plug was dripping into ice, and when Gu Qian walked back to his residence from the cell, he felt that he was about to freeze into a popsicle.

Gu Xiaojiu was curled up in the corner of the big kang and napping, when he heard the footsteps of two people, he hurriedly lifted the cotton mattress on his body, rubbed his eyes and greeted him.

"My lord, Brother Tai, are you back?"

"Is there any hot tea, hot soup, go and pour a bowl for the adults." Gu Tai said while helping Gu Qian untie his cloak.

"Yes, I keep it on the stove. Gu Xiaojiu walked to the ear room, turned on the stove, and refilled the dry firewood into the kang hole, and then poured a bowl of hot tea for Gu Qian and Gu Tai.

After taking a sip of hot tea, taking off his shoes and warming up on the kang, Gu Qian felt that his body was hot, "Xiao Jiu, is there still hot water?" I was a little hungry in the middle of the night, let's eat a few bowls of noodle soup and then go to sleep." ”

"Okay, right away. Gu Xiaojiu first sent hot water to Gu Qian and Gu Tai, and then went out to cook noodles.

After a while, the noodle soup was ready, Gu Qian beckoned Gu Tai and Gu Xiaojiu to use some together, rinsed their mouths, and fell asleep with a thick quilt.

On the night of dawn in winter, Gu Qian felt that he hadn't slept for a while before being called up by Gu Xiaojiu.

"What time is it?" he asked, confused.

"It's already the beginning of the year, it's time to get up. Gu Xiaojiu is used to the fresh words that his master pops up from time to time, such as what time he asks what time it is, and eating breakfast is having breakfast, and there are not too many of them.

"Is it still dark?" Gu Qian opened his eyes and looked out of the window, Jing Chao's windows were generally pasted with paper or curtains, and the light transmittance was not very good, even so, it couldn't be completely without light!

"The guys have already started preparing breakfast, and you should indeed get up. Gu Xiaojiu looked at Gu Qian who was lying in the bed, and was a little incompetent. Obviously, Lord Ming was still very wise and martial when he was in Qingjiang, why did he almost become a bear when he arrived at Biansai, and he wanted to hibernate from time to time?

Seeing Gu Xiaojiu's disagreeing gaze, Gu Qian sighed, gritted his teeth and crawled out of the warm quilt, trembling and getting dressed.

By the time Gu Qian cleaned up and went to Zhang Shilang's place, Zhang Shilang was already sitting on top and smiling.

"Lord Zhang, morning. ”

"General Yin is early. ”

Gu Qian first respectfully saluted the two peaks, and then sat down at Zhang Yuan's signal.

"Gu Yushi came just in time, the old man drafted a notice last night, you can take a look. As he spoke, he handed over a piece of paperwork.

Gu Qian took the document with both hands, raised it in front of him and looked at it, he couldn't help but gasp in his heart, Zhang Shilang is going to magnify the trick! The list of Lu Ji's interrogation is full of 312 people, but the people sent by Xu Yanlin are only 14 people, Zhang Yuan used the traitors in the city as an excuse that the rebels in the city were not cleared, and let the rebels in the city tie their hands and go out of the city to confess, if not, the imperial army will enter the city to punish the thieves on the order of the saint in two days!

All in all, this proclamation is a meaning, do you want to die by yourself, or do you want to die for you?

After reading the notice, Gu Qian put the official document back in Zhang Yuan's hand.

"Gu Yushi, do you have anything to build?" Zhang Yuan asked in a warm voice.

"The officials are not talented, and I don't see anything wrong with this announcement, but is the two days a little rushed?

"Ventilation?" Zhang Yuan snorted coldly and said disdainfully, "This official has already given enough time, if they don't seize the opportunity, don't blame this official for not being emotional!"

Knowing that Zhang Yuan was annoyed by the officials in the city, Gu Qian didn't have much to say, so he could only sit with him awkwardly for a while, and when Zhang Fugui brought a few elders to come in and print the official documents, he hurriedly found an excuse and slipped away.

Seeing Gu Qian sneaking away on tiptoe, Zhang Yuan snorted coldly, he had already heard a report on the interrogation process in the cell last night, this Gu Yushi was really a dou who couldn't support the wall, not only did not a single suspect be interrogated, but he also blatantly dragged Lu Ji's hind legs, and I don't know if the Xu faction sent such a person to Datong, whether there was really no one at hand.

Or...... Thinking of Xu Shangde's consistent style, Zhang Yuan squinted his eyes, could it be that this Gu Yushi had been regarded as an outcast by the Xu faction from the beginning?

After thinking about it carefully, Zhang Yuan really couldn't think of what else this person could do to be worthy of his scruples, he bent the corners of his mouth, and left Gu Yushi behind.

A brainless outcast, even the manpower to monitor him can be saved.

Zhang Yuan's men moved quickly, and soon posted the notice under Datong City.

Didn't Governor Xu say that the imperial court would open up to them? Why did the notice make them go out of the city to confess their guilt? If they did not admit their guilt two days later, the army would attack Datong City?

For a while, there was chaos in Datong City, and the leader of the rebels found Governor Xu with a knife, if it wasn't for Governor Xu running fast, I am afraid that he would have died under the knife of the rebel at that time.

"Zhang Maoshan misunderstood me!" Governor Xu jumped out of the wall, and while panicked looking for shelter, he wailed in his heart.

Governor Xu, who was able to escape with his life, was quite good, but an unlucky grain transporter had just entered the city, and his head was cut off as a spy for the imperial army.

"How is this good?" Governor Xu, who had successfully escaped into the General's Mansion, spun around in a hurry.

"It's still safe in the General's Mansion for the time being, Lord Xu will drink a cup of hot tea to calm down first. Zheng Zhen, the former general soldier of Datong who was idle at home, said comfortingly.

"Where can I calm down," Governor Xu smiled bitterly, "I didn't expect Zhang Shilang's actions to be so fast, the official didn't even have time to plan at all, the previous promise of the traitor's leniency was completely useless, the official's life was lost, but if the rebel was in a hurry, they might give up Datong City." ”

Governor Xu also heard about the rebels' secret association with the Tatars, but for the sake of the overall situation, he kept it hidden.

Seeing that Zhang Yuan was about to force the rebels to Liangshan, Governor Xu hated that he had not found Zhang Yuan to communicate with him in the first place, even if it was for another five days, his arrangements in the city would be completed.

Now it's good, Datong is in chaos, and it's a failure.

Governor Xu was depressed and wanted to hit the wall, but his competitor Zhang Yuan completely ignored his predicament, in order to prevent the rebels in the city from uniting with the tribes on the grassland, Zhang Yuan sent troops to guard the pass outside Datong City, so that the soldiers in the city who wanted to run away could not escape.

In this way, the panic in the city became even stricter, and the panicked soldiers lost their control, some attacked the government, and some killed people and set fires, and the city was chaotic for a while.

"It can't go on like this. "Although the families in the general's mansion are very powerful, but if the soldiers continue to make trouble, their own family will not be saved, Zheng Zhen can't sit still, and plans to rush out of the city single-handedly to find Zhang Yuan to ask for an explanation.

"Can't get out. Governor Xu said dejectedly, "The city gate has been guarded by the rebels, because they heard that Lord Zhang will not give them a way to live, and they plan to carry it to the death." ”

"The walls are so long, there are always gaps to drill. Zheng Zhen's face sank, and he said in a deep voice, "I'll send someone to prepare the hanging basket." ”

"What if Zhang Maoshan doesn't listen?" Things have come to this point, and Governor Xu has completely lost illusions with Zhang Shilang.

"Then I don't want to fight for this life, but I also want to participate in him in front of the saint. He said hatefully, "It's obviously a very simple matter, but it's going to make trouble to the point of boiling back, and he Zhang Maoshan can't escape the blame!"

"But now that I can't even send the news, how can I inform the Holy Lord of the situation here?" What's more, Datong is also thousands of miles away from the capital, and when the report is delivered, the daylilies are cold. The more Governor Xu thought about it, the more sad he became, and tears faintly appeared in the tiger's eyes.

"Sir, the gap in the wall has been found. When the two were at a loss, the butler hurried in.

"Quick, hurry up and deliver the letter!" Zheng Zhen took out a letter from his arms and hurriedly handed it to the sturdy family who had been waiting beside him.

Jiading took the order and left, taking away the only remaining hope of the two, and at this moment, Yin Da led the army to Datong with high spirits
