Chapter 258: Zheng Kui's Surrender (2-in-1)
"Lord, let's go! I'm here to stop him! â
Gu Wu's body was half lower, he slowly pulled out his saber from his waist, and stared at Peng Yue cautiously.
Peng Yue wiped the blood on his face, lifted the big knife and went straight to Gu Pu, his face was full of flesh, which was daunting.
"Rest hurting my lord!"
Gu Wu and Peng Yue fought hard, and suddenly felt their arms numb, and shouted backwards: "You guys, take the master away!" â
The six men in black picked up Gu Pu and wanted to leave through the back door, when a black shadow suddenly attacked!
"Bang!"
There was a huge impact sound, and a man in black collapsed in his chest, spurting blood from his mouth, and died instantly!
"What!"
The remaining black-clothed rÊn dà was shocked!
Look up!
A strong man with a giant hammer on his shoulder appeared in front of several people, it was Xu Hu!
Xu Hu put the hammer on the ground, and the huge force directly smashed the masonry on the ground to smithereens!
Everyone looked at the powdered masonry on the ground, and their hearts trembled.
"Master Gu, where is this going?"
Xu Hu said a word to Gu Pu, then grinned and said to the five black-clothed men: "You still put down your arms and surrender, you can still spare your life!" Otherwise, let you and others taste the power of a certain sledgehammer! â
Gu Pu's fingers trembled, and he pointed at Xu Hu and scolded: "I am the head of the Gu family, and when you enter the old man's mansion for no reason, aren't you afraid that other families in Liaocheng will rebel?" â
"Gu Lao'er, you know what you want to do, besides, you should think about it, how can we know about you..."
Xu Hu clicked his mouth, feeling that he had talked a little too much today, so he closed his mouth, and directly brandished the hammer to take down Gu Pu.
"Quick! Protect the Lord! â
The five black-clothed men looked at Xu Hu who had been killed, their eyes were about to split, and they swung their knives at Xu Hu, Xu Hu's skills were launched, and the force value increased.
The hammer and cloak danced wildly, and several black-clothed people were Xu Hu's opponents, and they were beaten to death by Xu Hu in a few rounds, grabbed Gu Pu's collar and held him in his hand.
Gu Pu's face was hideous, and he grabbed Xu Hu's big hand with both hands, to say that Gu Pu was also a ruthless character who dared to fight when he was young, but he was old, coupled with years of pampering, he was no longer as brave as he was back then.
Gu Pu was not afraid at all, his eyes were full of endless hatred, and he asked Xu Hu: "You tell the old man if it's Zheng Kui, is it him!" â
Xu Hu glanced at Gu Pu and ignored him.
But Gu Pu already knew the answer, gritted his teeth and said: "What a Zheng Kui, what a scheming Zheng Kui!" Hate! I hate it! â
At this time, Peng Yue had already finished the battle and killed Gu Wu, the loyal guard in front of him, with one sword!
Looking at Gu Pu in Xu Hu's hand, he nodded and said, "Let's go!" â
When the two of them returned to a vacant lot in the Gu Mansion, all the people in the Gu Mansion had been escorted here, and they dared to resist, and they were all killed on the spot by Dongyu soldiers!
When Gu Pu's family saw Gu Pu being arrested, they immediately cried and screamed, and Gu Pu was already slumped on the ground, closed his eyes, and ignored his wife and concubines and children who were shouting at him.
A soldier stepped forward and announced: "Qi Qi Du Lieutenant Xu and Peng Du Wei have caught several heads of other families in the side hall!" â
"My lord! Checkmate! We have been wronged! â
Several family owners who were pressed by Dongyu soldiers saw Xu and Peng standing aside, and struggled one after another, begging for mercy loudly: "General, we are not willing to be in cahoots with Gu Puxin, Gu Pu imprisoned us, General Mingjian!" â
Peng Yue waved his hand and said in disgust: "Okay, are you wronged your own lord and judge and suppress them!" â
The last sentence was said to the Dongyu soldiers in the back.
"Honorable Order!" Several Dongyu soldiers responded.
"General! Checkmate! I also looked at General Anbei and said a few good words! We have been wronged! "One person did not give up, although he was pressed by Dongyu's soldiers, he still twisted his head and shouted to Peng and Xu.
Peng Yue snorted coldly: "A group of rats! I can't wait to slaughter them all! â
"Okay, Captain Peng, it's not early, let's finish the inventory early! The lord is still waiting for us! Xu Hu said.
"Good!" Peng Yue responded.
......
That night, Zheng Kui came to the mansion with the frightened people, and a tiger guard led everyone to the side hall, Liu De had already been waiting for a long time!
When everyone saw Liu De sitting on the throne, they hurriedly bowed forward in fear and said, "Meet General Anbei!" â
"Everybody, get up!" Liu De raised his hand and gestured, "Please take a seat, elders!" â
There are tables around the side hall, and some dishes and drinks are placed on them!
When the heads of the family were seated, Liu De raised his glass with a smile, "You are all famous elders in Liaocheng, even Yanzhou, General Ben is very happy to drink with all the elders, and General Ben toasts you a glass!" â
Drink the wine in the glass.
When everyone saw that Liu De had drunk, how dare they disobey, and raised their glasses one after another: "We respect the general!" â
Liu De took the chopsticks and said to the heads of the family with a smile: "Don't be stunned, eat!" These are specially prepared for you! â
Although the dishes on the table were quite delicious, most of the family owners had no appetite to eat at all, and only Zheng Kui's face was as usual, and he tasted the delicious food in front of him very indifferently.
Liu De has seen everyone's performance in his eyes and knows it in his heart.
Then he put down the wine cup and coughed twice.
Everyone looked at each other, knowing that the drama was coming, and hurriedly sat down and waited for Liu De to speak.
Liu De looked around and said, "Gu Pu wants to send someone to General Ãn Shaben, but now it has been taken!" â
Several family heads who had already heard about it had dark expressions, but they didn't expect Liu De to be really ruthless! Is he really not afraid of all the families in Liaocheng attacking him?
Liu De has raided three or four large and small families in succession, which has caused dissatisfaction among everyone in the audience, and now everyone is in danger, wanting to make Liu De look good!
Of course, Liu De knew what some of them thought, but he didn't care, how could the elephant care about the swearing of the ants?
When these families didn't want to support Chu Ying's grain and grass, they should have known that there would be such consequences!
Of course, Liu De will definitely not persecute too much, after the stick is used, the next thing is the radish!
"Gong Zheng, I heard that you have three sons, all of whom are famous people in Liaocheng!" Liu De asked Zheng Kui, although he had already met Zheng Kui's eldest son, Liu De would definitely not show it.
Zheng Kui came out of the queue and arched his hand: "General Qiyu, the old man does have three sons, the eldest son Zheng Boqi, the second son Zheng Zhongji, and the youngest son Zheng Shuyuan!" â
"Good!"
Liu De praised: "General Ben wants Zheng Boqi to serve as the Liaocheng Cheng, I don't know if Zheng Gong is willing?" â
"The old man thanks the general for my son!" Zheng Kui didn't have any reason to be unwilling, and hurriedly thanked him.
Before this, Zheng Boqi was only serving as a record of Pengshi, but the seven-grade official position was promoted by one level at once, don't underestimate it, it was just a one-level promotion, the status of this Liaocheng Cheng is second only to the Liaocheng Order, and the Liaocheng Order is in charge of all things in Liaocheng!
Prior to this, Liaocheng Cheng had always been served by Yang Zichuan's confidant Feng Zhijing, and of course, the Liaocheng Order was also served by Yang Zichuan.
"Jung Joong Ki and Jung Shu Ki also hold the position of captain!" Liu De continued.
Zheng Kui kowtowed again to thank Liu De.
The banquet lasted until late at night, and when the banquet was over, the heads of the family left the mansion in a heavy heart!
And Zheng Kui was left behind by Liu De!
Liu De and Zheng Kui came to a small side hall of the mansion alone, Liu De smiled and said to Zheng Kui: "I don't know why Zheng Gong wants to help me like this!" â
Liu De refers to the fact that Zheng Kui sent his eldest son to report to Liu De, and Dian Wei and Xu Hu are of course not afraid of assassins in Liu De, but since Zheng Kui has shown favor to himself, Liu De must have received this feeling, so Zheng Boqi was appointed as Liaocheng Cheng, and the other two sons served as captains.
However, Liu De was still quite curious, so he asked.
Zheng Kui bowed his hand to Liu Deyi and said: "Don't dare to deceive the general, the old man has lived for seventy years, although he has no great ability, but these eyes are still accurate to see something, Yang Zichuan has been defeated, and sooner or later he will be defeated by the general!" The old man feels that his life will not be long in coming, and the three sons are all idle people, and the old man is afraid that after he leaves, these three brothers will not be able to keep this business! And the name of the general's benevolence and righteousness spread all over the world, so the old man is willing to help the general and protect the Zheng family's inheritance! â
Liu De nodded, this Zheng Kui really didn't deceive himself, if he didn't come out today, although he couldn't move him now, but in the future, this Zheng family will definitely not stay for a long time, and sooner or later he will start to clean up the Zheng family, who called the Zheng family the largest family in this Liaocheng except for the Yang family!
Zheng Boqi's attributes have also been checked by himself, he is indeed a middle-aged person, and he is not capable of serving as the capital of Liaocheng, and after Zheng Kui's death, the Zheng family will definitely fall.
But that's not enough!
Zheng Kui seemed to have guessed Liu De's thoughts, and assured Liu De: "General, please rest assured, the old man will personally persuade the other families in Liaocheng, so that they will be willing to be driven by the general, and will not be hindered in secret, and cooperate with the general to manage Liaocheng!" â
Zheng Kui continued: "Now that the war is imminent, the old man is willing to contribute all the money and food in the house to build equipment for the general's recruitment!" Sponsor the general to dominate Yanzhou! â
Liu De frowned, stroked his palms and said, "Okay!" Zheng Gong really understands the righteousness, and this general is not wrong! Wait for Yang Zichuan to be pacified, and this general will not hesitate to reward him! â
"Thank you, General!" Zheng Kui bowed.
......
When Zheng Kui returned to the mansion, he didn't expect the head of the Wang family to wait for him in the mansion.
When the head of the Wang family saw Zheng Kui coming back, he asked, "Gong Zheng! Did you betray Gu Pu to Liu De? â
Zheng Kui chuckled, "The head of the Wang family should be impatient, and let the old man tell you slowly!" â
The head of the Wang family looked angry, it stands to reason that if there is a contradiction between them, it is also an internal contradiction, and Liu Denai is an outsider, Zheng Kui's behavior is not betrayal, so what is it?
Zheng Kui asked, "Dare to ask the head of the Wang family, do you think Gu Pu can succeed?" â
"If he can't succeed, he can't hide the fact that you betrayed him!" The head of the Wang family slapped the table vigorously.
Zheng Kui took the tea handed over by his subordinates, ignored the anger of the head of the Wang family, and said slowly: "Gu Pu must not be able to succeed, just rely on the few dead soldiers he raised?" You look at the generals under General Anbei, which one is not a tiger and wolf? Look at the soldiers under his command, ten times better than the Liaocheng army! Chu Yingnai is the number one general under Yang Zichuan, and we have all seen his skills, but now? Beat and flee in a hurry! â
Zheng Kui sighed and said, "If Gu Puzhen sends someone to assassinate and fails, we will usher in Liu De's wrath; If he succeeds, then we will bear the wrath of his generals! At that time, it will not only be a matter of losing these three or four families, we will all be finished! â
"He Liu Dedare! Isn't he afraid that the entire Liaocheng will be paralyzed? Without us, how can he be in charge of the entire Liaocheng? Again! Yang Zhou Mu also led an army of 100,000 people, he Liu De didn't look at it and took Liaocheng, as soon as Yang Zhoumu's army arrived, Liu De would be a powder! "The head of the royal family still doesn't believe.
Zheng Kui sneered: "You still have such a ridiculous idea, how many days have passed now, where is Yang Zichuan's army?" I'm afraid I won't be able to spare it to support Liaocheng at all! Don't forget that there is a Dongyu army, but it has just left! â
"Besides, Liu De has a strong temperament, and under the anger, do you still expect him to think about the future? We all dare to assassinate him, can he let us go, and can he rest assured that we will be in charge of Liaocheng for him? He needs us to help him take charge of Liaocheng, and the premise is that no one dares to oppose him! â
Zheng Kui's continuous questioning made the head of the Wang family speechless, yes!
dare to assassinate Liu De, how can Liu De use these families? Gu Pu dragged all of them into the water this time, and none of them could escape!
"Besides!" Zheng Kui slowed down his tone and said: "Even if Liu De is defeated and Yang Zichuan regains Liaocheng, aren't we still us!" â
The head of the Wang family suddenly, Zheng Kui's words went to the heart of the head of the Wang family, and against Liu De, it is possible that his head will be cut off, if he doesn't do it right, his life will definitely be saved, and when Yang Zichuan regains Liaocheng, they still need to be reused, and their status will not change at all!
In this case, what can you do with Liu Dexu and the snake?
The head of the Wang family still has some questions: "Then our land and shops..."
Of course, Zheng Kui knew what he meant, and affirmed: "Don't worry, General Anbei will not touch our family property, and the property left by the Gu family and the Bao family will be allowed to be divided according to General Anbei's intentions!" â
"Really?"
The eyes of the head of the Wang family lit up instantly! Sure enough, there is no money for anything, and Zheng Kui's repeated persuasion is not as effective as this sentence, which is really ironic.
"How can this be fake?" Zheng Kui looked at the greedy gaze of the head of the Wang family and shook his head secretly.
The head of the Wang family rubbed his hands: "Then this is great, Liu Degongzi really understands righteousness!" "He has long coveted several properties of the Gu family, which is really the gold cave of Liaocheng!
"The master of the Wang family should understand what to do this time!" Zheng Kui asked.
The head of the Wang family patted his chest and said, "Gong Zheng, don't worry! As long as General Anbei speaks and counts, how can the old man not know what to do and joke with his own life! â
"That's for the best! Tomorrow, I will also ask the head of the Wang family and the old man to persuade the rest of the family heads! â
"No problem!"
