The Zhao family and his son did not go out of the city, and when Shang He came to search in Liujiapo with great fanfare, his father and son followed the ox cart that delivered vegetables into the prison courtyard. Zhou Hong later learned that Li Mao had sent the Zhao family's father and son under his nose, and he was so angry that he beat his black donkey faster than a horse, rushed into Li's house in one go, and asked Li Mao what he was going to do in person.

Li Mao said unhurriedly: "How can he come to the ghost and want to be the military envoy of the Qing Navy, I thought he was delusional, it doesn't matter if he goes crazy alone, if he suffers four thousand soldiers in a row, this sin will be great." ”

Zhou Hong asked in surprise, "What do you want to do?" ”

Li Mao said: "I want to trap Shang Helai, help Deputy Envoy Zhao regain military power, and implore Brother Zhou to help." ”

Zhou Hong shouted: "Are you crazy, now the city is still from the world, if you are not careful, you and I will have to move our heads." ”

Li Mao said: "I heard that Zhou Changshou is about to be promoted, and the position of the military envoy of Gushan Town is still vacant, you have purchased so many properties in Gushan Town, can you bear to abandon it?" ”

Seeing that Zhou Yang's term of office is approaching, if he can't succeed Zhou Yang and be promoted to the post of military supervisor, he has to leave Gushan Town.

Zhou Hong said: "This, this, these are completely different things!" …… Are you really sure? ”

Li Mao said with a smile: "Brother Zhou is willing to help, and he is nine out of ten." ”

At that moment, Li Mao told his strategy, and after Zhou Hong weighed it repeatedly, he gritted his teeth and said, "It's out, I'll cooperate with you." ”

Shang Helai held his stomach and returned to the military courtyard, and as soon as he sat down, the housekeeper came to report that Zhou Hong, the judge of the supervising army, invited him to Chunyang Building for a banquet tomorrow, Shang Helai took the invitation and glanced at it, and asked: "What is the name?" The housekeeper said: "I didn't say it, but when the Zhou family sent the post, they specifically mentioned that Li Maohua was also sent by the Richeng Bureau." ”

Shang Helai threw the prayer post aside and muttered, "I really think of myself as a green onion." The butler blinked and cautiously replied, "If not, you will push him?" Shang He said: "What do you want to do, I'm still afraid of Li Mao?" ”

When Xun Bin learned that Shang He was going to Chunyang Tower for a banquet on the second day, he persuaded: "I'm afraid of fraud, so it's better not to go." "In the past, Shang Helai would have asked what happened, but after Zhao's father and son disappeared from the hands of Xun Bin for no reason, Shang He came to see how his wife and brother were not pleasing to the eye, and after listening to Xun Bin's advice, he snorted in his nose and ignored it.

Xun Bin retreated, returned to the camp and summoned his subordinates: "Tomorrow, General Shang will go to Chunyang Tower for a banquet, you go to the front station." Everyone took the order and left, and soon after they went, they turned back and reported: "Vice General Dong has replaced the servants inside and outside Chunyang Building with his own people, and will not let us approach." When Xun Bin heard this, he sighed silently, thinking that Shang Helai used to be obedient to him, but now he ignored him because of the Zhao father and son, and he was very upset.

Seeing that her husband was depressed, his wife Chen scratched his head, and hurriedly sent someone to Jimin Hospital to ask for a headache medicine, Chen personally decocted the medicine and served her husband to take it. He opened his mouth and spewed out a mouthful of bloody arrows, and the person froze there like a stone statue, and when Chen turned on the lamp to check, he was already out of breath, and his eyes were wide open, but he was dead.

Early in the morning of the second day, Shang He came to dress neatly and prepare to go to Chunyang Tower for a banquet, when he suddenly heard the noise of crows on the tree, and he was very unhappy, and he bent his bow to shoot the crow, and the distance was seven or eight zhang away with an arrow. Shang Helai scolded: "There are ghosts." Then he walked out sullenly, passing by the gate of the side courtyard, and suddenly heard someone in the courtyard crying, and his heart became more and more irritable, and he sent someone to ask, and the report said that his wife was crying, and he died of a violent illness last night.

Shang He was silent for a while, sighed sullenly, and muttered: "I always valued him, thinking he was a talent, but I didn't expect his belly to be so small." Porcelain is beautiful but fragile, and such a person cannot become a big deal. ”

Speaking of achieving great things, Shang Helai sighed again and said to himself: "Thieves with hot eyes eat meat, but they don't know that thieves are often beaten, people, if you want to die, you do it yourself." Turned over and got on the horse, and came to the downstairs of Chunyang, Chen Jingye, who was with him, got off the horse to check, and didn't walk a few steps, but Dong He came out from the inside and said with a smile: "I've arranged it, it's our people inside and out, it's foolproof." ”

Xun Bin's violent death still affected Shang Helai's mood to some extent, but when he saw that Dong He was so capable, his mood became clear again, although Xun Bin was capable, he was too introverted and sensitive, and such a person was destined to be difficult to achieve great things.

Dong He is not bad, shrewd, capable, and thicker than the city wall, this guy will have a bright future in the future.

Shang He came upstairs happily, he thought that Zhou Hong invited him for yesterday's business, and wanted to be a peacemaker between him and Li Mao, and to please him, but he didn't want Chunyang upstairs to be full of friends, marching Sima Duan Yingya, the military material institute envoy clerk, deputy envoy Liu Yi, Lu Ru who replaced Lu Yan as the Marquis of Duyu, Li Mao, the envoy of the city bureau, Chen Yigong, the secretary in charge, and the general Huang Fenglai were all present.

This battle made Shang Helai faintly uneasy, but the person has already come, and if he leaves at this moment, where will he put his face? Thinking that Dong He had already arranged everything, his courage grew up again, while greeting everyone, he walked towards his seat, he expected that the purpose of Zhou Hong's invitation was to persuade peace, then his seat must be in the left main guest seat closest to the master, the main guest seat is indeed empty now, but it is not his.

A junior envoy of the Military Supervision Academy politely stopped him, and Xiao pointed to the empty seat at the bottom right of the clerk and said, "General Shang, this is your position." ”

Shang Helai was stunned for a moment, even if Zhou Hong's invitation was not to make peace, how could he be subservient to the clerk with his current status? What kind of celebrity is Zhou Hong, this eunuch.

Chen Jingye, who was accompanying him, snapped and shouted: "Confused thing, are you new here, how do you get a seat?" ”

The little envoy said unhurriedly: "The military system of the Tang Dynasty, the military town construction general is on the right side of the military officer, when will General Shang be promoted?" Chen Jingye was speechless, Shang Helai sneered, turned around and left. But I heard a shrill and thin voice behind me and shouted: "How can I come to hold the guards hostage and stay behind, intending to rebel, who will take this thief down for me!" ”

It was Zhou Yang, the envoy of the supervising army, who calmly walked out from behind Jinping at this moment, and he was accompanied by a tall and thin veteran, who was Zhao Hede, the queen of Gushan Town, who was in charge of the military affairs of the Qing Navy.

Chen Jingye hurriedly drew his knife, before the knife left the sheath, a crossbow arrow pierced his head, red blood, white brains splashed Shang Helai's face, Shang Helai stood motionless, since he was a child, he expected that this murder would be auspicious. Dong He did change the people inside and outside the Chunyang Building, but these people in exchange came to deal with him.

Dong He was standing behind him now, only two feet away, as long as he made the slightest move, the knife in Dong He's hand would immediately come out of its sheath and stab at him. Dong He is one of the few fierce generals in the army, even if he faces the enemy head-on, Shang He is not sure to win him.

Chen Yangbi was forced by several men in civilian clothes, and Li Mao's attendant Qingmo took off his saber, he is now unable to protect himself, and he has the heart to help, but he can't do anything.

Today's banquet is strange, everyone has already faintly noticed that there will be a big change, but they didn't expect it to be such a result. Zhou Yang, the supervising military envoy, pressed his hand and said in a sharp voice: "Shang Helai took advantage of the absence of the two generals Yu and Yin to instigate the Beiying Army to launch a mutiny, and held Deputy Zhao hostage, intending to rebel. Last night, Xun Bin committed suicide in fear of crime, and the soldiers and horses in the city were all under the control of Deputy Envoy Zhao, so you don't need to panic. Duyu Marquis Lu Ru got up with the case, pointed to Shang Helai's nose, and scolded: "The thief's ambition is innocent, why are you still stunned, quickly break this thief's body into ten thousand pieces." ”

Although Lu Ru shouted fiercely, no one paid attention to him. He yelled twice to himself, and when he saw that no one responded, he shut his mouth in amusement and silently stepped aside. Shang Helai sneered: "You designed to yin me, and I don't regret to die, but I don't know if my brothers can agree." After Yu Hualong and Yin Mu left, the construction general Shang He came to openly regard himself as the heir of Yu Hualong, and Yu sent people and horses to take him as the first to look forward.

The clerk suddenly stood up, took out a codex, and said to everyone: "There is a warrant left before the general's departure, and all military and political affairs in Gushan Town are entrusted to Deputy Envoy Zhao, and those who do not comply will be punished as rebels." It is difficult to distinguish whether this warrant is true or false, but his statement is clear, and to make this statement with his weight in the faction is tantamount to judging the failure of Shang Helai.

Even the clerk turned against him, and Huang Fenglai, who had tried his best to win him over, seemed to be even more hopeless, and the truth was indeed the case, Huang Fenglai watched coldly and ignored the allies in distress.

Li Mao waved his hand and said, "Put this thief in prison, and then punish him after he plays the Ming Festival." ”

Dong He said: "A certain general will obey the order." ”

In just one sentence, everyone in the hall knows who is the master of Lonely Mountain Town today.

Shang Helai was disarmed on the spot, and two strong men pressed his head hard and pushed him downstairs.

The Hongmen Banquet soon became a celebration banquet in Gushan Town. The banquet did not disperse until late at night, even Li Mao was drunk for seven or eight minutes, and when he returned to his hometown at home, he used the vomiting method to spit out a stomach of wine.

Because Li Mao often has entertainment outside, the careful Xiao Ru specially asked Mrs. Ge for a recipe to sober up and nourish his stomach, and she learned that Li Mao was drinking a banquet in Chunyang Building, so she prepared a soup to sober up and nourish his stomach, and Li Mao gave it to him after vomiting.

Li Mao wiped his face with a hot hand towel, his spirits were lifted, he trapped Shang Helai, and solved the catastrophe of Gushan Town, this thing was really happy, Li Mao was full of excitement, and he couldn't sleep. As soon as the boulder that pressed on his heart was removed, his whole person suddenly became several years younger, and he joked with Xiao Ru lightly, only until Xiao Ru's face was red with shame and he didn't dare to raise his head.

I wanted to go to Wushan Yunyu with Xiaoru, but my body was too tired, so I had to give up, Xiaoru sent him to wash his feet, and then retreated with interest. Li Mao fell asleep on the recliner in a daze, and slept until midnight, when suddenly there was a sound in his ears, and the sound came from outside the window. Li Mao jumped up, grabbed the knife in his hand, climbed to the beam of the house by the pillar, and as soon as his body was fixed, he heard several sounds, and several crossbow arrows shot in from the window and nailed to his bed.
