Ma Xiangzhong didn't speak, but walked slowly into Zhang Mengcheng's side. After that, he glanced at Chen Guanghong behind Zhang Mengcheng, and quickly swept the guard off his horse with a single shot, and then pressed the tip of the gun against Chen Guanghong's throat, who fell to the ground.

Zhang Mengcheng was taken aback by this instantaneous change, and under the conditioned reflex, Zhang Mengcheng even pulled out his knife again. Seeing the reaction of the leader of Xiucai, Su He, Ma Jinzhong and other guards also raised their weapons to confront Ma Xiangzhong's soldiers.

"Master Xiucai, help, the horse leader is crazy for him." Chen Guanghong's face turned pale and asked Zhang Mengcheng for help, not at all his usual fearless appearance.

After all, the other party is outnumbered, and it is impossible for Zhang Mengcheng and a few people to beat them. So Zhang Mengcheng, who was quite shocked and angry in his heart, still held back his anger and said to Ma Xiangzhong: "Second Brother Ma, I don't know where Guanghong offended you. ”

Ma Xiangzhong still looked paralyzed, and he waved his hand to his subordinates. Ma Xiangzhong's troops immediately laid down their weapons, and one of the cavalrymen threw a prisoner tied to a horse in front of Zhang Mengcheng. Seeing the people who were tied, Chen Guanghong, who was pressed to the ground, also had despair in his eyes.

"Xiucai, you've got rats in your team." At this time, Ma Xiangzhong was still a short sentence.

Zhang Mengcheng is not a fool, when he heard Ma Xiangzhong's words and saw Chen Guanghong's abnormality, he also guessed a rough idea in his heart.

However, Chen Guanghong is second only to Xigui after all, and he is the second confidant in his heart. Zhang Mengcheng still couldn't believe it in his heart, and he didn't want to believe it, so he said to Ma Xiangzhong with some difficulty: "Here, what's going on?" ”

"This guy is not called Chen Guanghong at all, his actual surname is Huang, and he is a relative of Huang Youcai." Seeing Zhang Mengcheng's white and red face, the words that came out of Ma Xiangzhong's mouth finally became a little more.

At this time, Ma Xiangzhong's soldiers took out the rags from the mouths of the bound captives. The captive took a few breaths and said loudly: "This kid is Huang Youcai's nephew, and it was only because he had temporarily left Yansui Town in the Qinwang Army that he missed Huang Youcai's uprising. It was only after Zhang Da and Shen Yikui met together in Ningsai that they secretly recognized each other. This kid's job is to secretly deliver the news of Jin Dingshan to Huang Youcai, and I am the person in charge of receiving the news, the real Chen Guanghong. ”

After the captives finished speaking, one of Ma Xiangzhong's subordinates walked up to Zhang Mengcheng and showed Zhang Mengcheng some objects, all of which were evidence of the true and false "Chen Guanghong" connection.

Zhang Mengcheng was poured in with too much information, and his mind and heart were a little dizzy. He looked at the fake "Chen Guanghong" on the ground, and the other party just turned pale at this time, closed his eyes and didn't say anything.

It seems that there is nothing wrong with it, and Zhang Mengcheng's heart is constantly cold. But after all, he was a thief leader in troubled times, and he had two lifetimes of experience. So he quickly adjusted his state, walked up to Ma Xiangzhong and asked, "How much news has leaked out?" ”

"The number of men and horses in the cottage and the military fort, as well as the arming structure, have been leaked. It's just that this news was sent a month ago, and the impact on the cottage and the military fort should be limited, so you can ask him for the rest. Ma Xiangzhong seemed to see Zhang Mengcheng's state of mind at this time, and he said a lot more than usual.

The next thing is the routine of interrogating prisoners in the thieves' den. Zhang Mengcheng first interrogated the contact person who had been tied up before, and the other party may have learned enough lessons under Ma Xiangzhong's hands. So he didn't put up any resistance, and just told everything he knew.

When it came time to interrogate the fake "Chen Guanghong", Ma Xiangzhong also participated in the interrogation work. Under the continuous torture of the cavalry under Ma Xiangzhong, this former henchman of Zhang Mengcheng finally opened his mouth and told everything after he collaborated with the enemy.

The fake "Chen Guanghong" is indeed Huang Youcai's nephew, his name is Huang Shizhang, and his blood relationship with Huang Youcai is actually not so close. When the Beijing division was besieged, the elite border army of Yansui Town went out of the customs and Qinwang, as a surplus of the army, he was in charge of the real Chen Guanghong's class for the little bit of silver food that the officers said.

Later, he escaped because of the arrears of the official army, and was absorbed by Jin Dingshan, who took in Qin Wangjun. Later, after Zhang Mengjin and his gang met with Shen Yikui in Ningsai, Huang Shizhang and Huang Youcai also met and recognized each other.

However, Huang Youcai was not in a hurry to recall his nephew at that time, but was very kind to let him continue to stay in Jinding Mountain. Huang Shizhang had a good life in the cottage, and he didn't want to be a traitor. However, Huang Youcai used his other family members who remained in the clan as a threat, and Huang Youcai may have other benefits.

Under both soft and hard, Huang Shizhang obediently complied. Originally, according to Huang Youcai's intention, this nail was planted in order to annex the Zhang family's gang in the future. But later, Shen Yikui's gang of thieves accepted Zhao'an very smoothly, and Huang Youcai temporarily put this matter down.

But then the situation changed, before the Ninsai rebellion was launched. Huang Youcai re-contacted his nephew and asked for information about the Zhang family in Jindingshan.

Fortunately, Zhang Mengcheng was busy organizing the autumn harvest at that time, and often took his subordinates to inspect the cantonments in various places. Huang Shizhang is also in addition to the number of residents and farmland harvest in various cantonments, and some other information that has not been updated. He didn't have anything else of value to tell Huang Youcai.

After that, Huang Youcai privately contacted Zhang Mengjin and his gang in Duhe Fort, and left just before Zhang Mengcheng arrived. In addition, Zhang Mengcheng moved around with Huang Shizhang, and the contact person could not get in touch with Huang Shizhang for a while. Later, because Dai Junen began to be on guard in Jingbian, Zhang Mengcheng and his gang, who were temporarily detained in disguise, were unable to contact outsiders.

Therefore, under the influence of many factors, Huang Youcai, who started the rebellion in advance, did not know that the Zhang family and his gang were acting against him, and they did not really want to rebel again with other leaders.

It is worth noting that Zhang Mengjin and his gang repeatedly fought with the rebels a few days ago and proved their loyalty with their actions. Zhang Mengcheng got rid of Dai Junen's detention, and Huang Shide regained contact with Huang Youcai.

This time, Huang Shide originally passed on Zhang Mengcheng's next movements, but after the real Chen Guanghong joined up with the rebels who responded, he happened to meet Ma Xiangzhong's troops attacking the rebels everywhere on the road.

After a round of fighting, the rebels were routed and many of them were taken prisoner. After the captured Chen Guanghong saw that Ma Xiangzhong was about to kill the prisoner, he said loudly that he knew who the traitor of Jindingshan was, and then there was the next thing.

"He's your subordinate, you can deal with it." After the interrogation ended, Ma Xiangzhong said to Zhang Mengcheng.

Zhang Mengcheng looked in front of him, because the torture had blurred his former henchmen, and his mood was very complicated at this time. There is disappointment in the henchmen, there is also the joy that there are no serious consequences, and there is regret for the subordinates. There are many other emotions left, the most obvious being anger at one's own stupidity and arrogance.

Zhang Mengcheng always thought that he was meticulous about his subordinates, and they had no reason to betray him. With good treatment, they have no reason to betray Jindingshan. But now it seems that these are just fantasies.

If it weren't for Ma Xiangzhong's discovery, maybe he would have been killed by the rebels next. And others will also be affected by themselves, not only the reinforcements of Artemisia Peak, but also the entire Jinding Mountain's power will be destroyed because of this.

I had always looked down on Dai Junen before, thinking that the other party was not doing things well, and I didn't expect that there might be thieves and spies in the Jingbian camp. Zhang Mengcheng thought of this, and really felt that he was really unqualified to make fun of the other party.

At this time, Huang Shichang, who was lying on the ground, opened his mouth and said: "Master Xiucai, my father and mother and brothers are eating under Huang Youcai's hands. Huang Youcai forced me with their lives, I was forced to do so, so you have a lot of spare me this time. My mother-in-law and aunt have big bellies now, and they won't be able to survive without me to take care of them. ”

After saying this, Huang Shichang continued to work hard to find other opportunities, and he shouted to Zhang Mengcheng's other guards: "Su He, Jin Zhong, Dayong. For the sake of the past, you all help me to intercede, and let Master Xiucai spare me this time. ”

Zhang Mengcheng turned his head and looked at the remaining three guards around him, except for Xigui who stayed in the cottage to guard this outing. Su He, Ma Jinzhong and Wu Dayong, the three guards that Zhang Mengcheng valued more, all followed him out of the cottage.

At this time, the three guards had different expressions, as Su He, who was the Mongol descendant, he looked at the traitor indifferently, and then there was no other reaction. Ma Jinzhong's face was a little unbearable, but after seeing the leader of Xiucai looking at him, he still chose to lower his head and remain silent.

Only Wu Dayong hesitated and seemed to want to plead, but after being stepped on by Ma Jinzhong. He just opened his mouth and didn't say anything in the end.

Seeing Zhang Mengcheng's reaction, Ma Xiangzhong felt that he needed to remind Xiucai of his position, so he broke the silence again and said: "Xiucai, you are the leader of Jinding Mountain, and your eldest brother is the big boss of the cottage. ”

As if feeling that this was not enough, Ma Xiangzhong pushed Zhang Mengcheng again verbally after a short pause. "You can still solve it in your own way."

For the handling of traitors, Jindingshan has unique rules, but the final result is death.

If the leader remembers the past feelings of his subordinates, he can personally give him a good time. If the leader is unwilling to do anything, the traitor will be handed over to the other leaders of Jinding Mountain to deal with together. Either they were skinned while they were alive and dragged the traitor to death after being tied to a horse.

Either find a small green willow tree with a bowl mouth, press down the small tree, sharpen the end, and insert it into the traitor's **. Then, as soon as he let go, the traitor was picked up into the sky and screamed until he died. Either it is handed over to Wei Heyong to deal with, which is the last thing the prisoner wants.

Thinking of those who died tragically before, Zhang Mengcheng finally made up his mind. After walking in front of Huang Shichang, Xiucai said: "I will shoot quickly, don't go too quickly below, your mother-in-law will follow." ”

Huang Shichang also wants to continue to plead, at least let the cottage let his mother-in-law and unborn child go. But Zhang Mengcheng had already covered his mouth and stabbed him in the heart with a knife.
