After entering the middle of October, the autumn mood is stronger, and the weather is getting cooler and cooler.

A cool breeze caused the leaves of the trees in the courtyard to fall in a hurry, so frightened that the servants on the side hurriedly stepped forward to clean up, not daring to slack off in the slightest, for fear of annoying their own masters who were standing in the courtyard looking into the distance. Because in the past few days, the master's mood is very bad, and often if something is wrong, he will drag people outside and beat them to death.

I heard that this is because the new general named Sun Tu did not give face to his master before, so that even after two days, he still felt uneasy in his heart. This made many servants in the Zhu Mansion have a lot of complaints about Sun Tu, and they decided that he caused everyone to tremble so much, and they were to blame at every turn.

But in fact, at this time, Zhu Mian didn't put his mind on these details at all, let alone care about the fallen leaves and the reflexive practices of those slaves, he looked at Qixia Mountain in front of him, but he was thinking in his heart whether Sun Tu would follow his own orders to suppress the chaotic people on the mountain.

"It's been three days, and I haven't seen him come back in return, could it be that he is planning to be perfunctory to me? Or did he see through my intentions and deliberately delayed it? Zhu Mian couldn't help but feel a little troubled and lost, to be honest, this was a thought he had never had before, which showed how big Sun Tu hit him.

At this moment, Xue Xianxing, the number one staff member under him, rushed over, and as soon as he saw Zhu Mian, he said: "Zhu Shuai, Sun Tu's department has moved, and he is heading to Qixia Mountain at this time." ”

"Is that true?" Zhu Mian's body was shocked when he heard this, and then he showed joy: "Did he really lead the troops over?" Did you send someone with you? ”

"Back to Zhu Shuai, it's true. Outside the West Gate, their barracks had been evacuated, and they were heading towards the foot of Qixia Mountain, and it seemed that he was really planning to attack those rebellious people. Our people are also secretly embellished, and they will repay in time for any of their actions! ”

"Good!" Zhu Mian clasped his fists together, making a crisp sound, and his previous worries were swept away, and he said with a smile: "As long as he waves his army to attack the mountain, this matter will be completely confirmed." And if he can really wipe out those rebellious people, his reputation in Jiangnan will definitely be ruined, and it will be difficult to pose a threat to me again! ”

"It's still Zhu Shuai who is smart, just one order can make Sun Tu isolate himself from the soldiers and civilians in Jiangnan, presumably when he understands all this, he will definitely regret it very much." Xue Xian, who proposed this strategy, did not take credit at this time, and smiled and flattered again.

"Haha, of course, as long as it happens, you can't do it. Mr. Xue, you deserve to be the number one think tank around us. Zhu Mian was already in a good mood at this time, and he patted the other party's shoulder hard and praised him, but it made Xue Xian's whole body lighter.

In fact, Zhu Mian was not too demanding about this matter before, but after the incident of Gaoyoujun, especially after Sun Tu came directly to disturb him, he had already listed Sun Tu as the target of necessary elimination. And it is not easy to completely get rid of Sun Tu and such an army that can fight well, in addition to stabbing the knife from behind, the more important thing is to destroy the reputation of the other party, so that the Jiangnan soldiers and civilians think that he deserves to die, so that no one speaks for him, and no one supports him.

Those chaotic people in Qixia Mountain are a chess piece that Zhu Mian used to ruin Sun Tu's reputation!

Now there are more than 100,000 officers and soldiers inside and outside Jinling, and the chaotic people on Qixia Mountain are only a few hundred.

This is not only because the terrain in the Qixia Mountains is complicated, which is not conducive to quelling the chaos of the officials and soldiers, but also because some of the people in this rebellion have very special identities and must not be shouted at and killed. Naturally, this important person can't be the Zhou brothers, they are just ordinary officers in the army, no one cares about even a hundred deaths, and the one who really gives people a headache is a person named Xie Mo.

Xie Mo is not a court official, and now he doesn't have much property, just in the past few years, he has sold the last courtyard in Wuyi Lane handed down by his ancestors and became part of the Zhu Mansion at this time.

In the past, Wang Xie Tang Qianyan flew into the homes of ordinary people. Xie Mo is the descendant of the Xie family, the first-rate family of the Eastern Jin Dynasty! But this identity is actually nothing in the current Great Song Dynasty, at most it is just mentioned by someone after dinner.

The reason why he really made him famous in Jiangnan, and even Zhu Mian didn't dare to attack him at will was only because of everything he had done for the people of Jiangnan over the years - he sold his middle estate, and finally even sold his ancestral house, but not because of his lustful eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, but because he used all this family wealth to save the local people.

In recent years, in addition to the man-made disasters of Huashigang, natural disasters in the south of the Yangtze River have also continued, and droughts and floods have followed one after another, resulting in the failure of the harvest of acres of land, and there is no one in ten. Under such circumstances, Fang La and others rose up, causing this big change. And if it weren't for Xie Mo, who went bankrupt and did everything to help the affected people everywhere, I am afraid that the uprising would have broken out two or three years earlier.

It can be said that in the south of the Yangtze River, Xie Mo is a figure like a Buddha in ten thousand families, and he is the existence of the immortal tablet enshrined by many families. Compared with him, Song Jiang, who is known as the timely rain and is famous for his righteousness and wealth in the green forests of Shandong, is nothing at all, it can be said that as long as he ascends to the heights, the land south of the Yangtze River will change the world in an instant, and there will be nothing to do.

Fortunately, Xie Mo didn't have the heart to rebel, he just wanted to be an ordinary person and do more good deeds. But someone didn't know the true God, so they actually hit him with the idea-

At the same time that the Zhou brothers killed officers and soldiers because of their mother's anger, Xie Mo, who was not far from his home, also encountered many intrusions and exploits by foreign officials and soldiers, and some people even took action directly.

This time it really stabbed the hornet's nest, and immediately provoked the siege of hundreds of people around, and then the Zhou brothers also jumped out, taking this opportunity to encircle a large number of angry people, as well as a part of the officials and soldiers who were friendly with them in Jinling City, and finally broke a warehouse, robbed a lot of food and weapons, and then broke through the city gate, and fled to Qixia Mountain.

It can be said that if someone hadn't provoked Xie Mo by chance, with the appeal and skills of the Zhou brothers, they might not be able to kill Jinling. It is precisely because of this kind of change that those generals who came to Jiangnan for the first time knew that there was such an existence as Xie Mo, and after knowing his resounding reputation in Jiangnan, they naturally did not dare to take the order to exterminate the rebellious people on the mountain, if Xie Mo was killed by mistake, the consequences would be too serious.

Not to mention them, even Zhu Mian is such a tyrannical person, and there are many officials who have died under him, and they still dare not attack Xie Mo. Because he knew very well that once he really did this, the people of Jinling, who were still as docile as sheep, would inevitably riot en masse, and even if they didn't die, they would no longer be able to stay in Jiangnan.

Because of Xie Mo's existence, the hundreds of chaotic people who fled to Qixia Mountain were deliberately ignored, until Sun Tuxin arrived, and then was moved by Zhu Mian without knowing the inside story, and took over this task that would cause great trouble.

Now, what Zhu Mian is looking forward to most is that Sun Tu will immediately rebel against the civilians on the mountain, as long as the generals go up and get rid of Xie Mo, Sun Tu will be completely finished. Even if he was famous before, and he relied on the military discipline that far surpassed that of other officers and soldiers to make the people praise, as long as he injured Xie Mo, he would become the public enemy of everyone in Jiangnan.

Dusk, Jinling Mansion.

"What did you say?" The pen in Tong Mu's hand suddenly fell, causing a document on the case in front of him to be completely destroyed, but he couldn't take care of these at this time, looked at Lu Bofei in front of him eagerly, and hissed: "Qianli, he really led the troops to Qixia Mountain?" ”

"Exactly, I also just received the news......" Lu Bofei's expression was a little complicated, and he hesitated for a moment before he said: "Presumably, Sun Zhan really doesn't know the situation on the mountain, so he rushed to quell the chaos after receiving this order, if someone hurts Xie Mo, the consequences will be too serious." ”

As he spoke, he sighed to himself: "If I had known what Sun Chan was like, I wouldn't have hurt him like this." I was going to secretly tell the inside story again, but I didn't expect him to move the army so soon. ”

Tong Mu also glanced at the other party in surprise, he really didn't expect Sun Tu to have such a ability, and he influenced all the cronies and staff members in front of Zhu Mian, maybe this is the reason why he can have today's status and strength.

But this is no longer the time to think about this, he immediately said: "I will rush to warn, but I must not let him do something that he will regret for the rest of his life!" As he spoke, he no longer cared about the official business at hand and the gradually darkening sky, strode out of the public house, and asked for a fast horse at the yamen, and galloped away in the direction of Qixia Mountain at the fastest speed.

"San Lang, San Lang, you must take your time, if you really kill Xie Mo, I'm afraid our whole plan will be completely ruined. At that time, maybe half of the wall in the south of the Yangtze River will really fall into Fang La's hands because of it......" Prayer in his heart, Tong Mu anxiously hit his horse forward, and his eyes were fixed on the Qixia Mountain in the distance.

Suddenly, his expression changed, and as soon as he rushed out of the city gate, he suddenly pulled the reins, and after stopping his horse, he looked at the mountain in the distance in a daze, his face full of horror and disbelief. Because at this time, there was a thick smoke rising from the mountain, and there was a little fire in the middle, and someone was actually setting fire to the mountain!

This time, Tong Mu's heart instantly cooled by half, and what he was most worried about finally happened.

At the same time, in the Zhu Mansion, Zhu Mian was looking at the smoke-billowing Qixia Mountain and laughed: "It's done, no matter how shrewd Sun Tu is, he is still being played with by us." This time, Xie Mo is dead, and he is also dead! ”
