All the way out of the South City Gate, Zhuang Shao glanced at Meng Chang's carriage from time to time, feeling uneasy. Although Feng Qianhou verbally ordered him to do this, after all, he was born as a thief, experienced in the world, and he was the commander www.biquge.info of the Guards Brigade.

Li Liangfu, the commander of the five hundred guards, is Li Liangbi's nephew, and he can't get involved in this matter, and the deputy envoy Du Xingming and the two counselors have no background, so they are suitable for doing this.

Thinking like this, Zhuang Shao summoned Li Liangfu and ordered: "You are now riding a horse and quickly going to the Lantian camp to report to His Highness, you have to make it clear, understand?" ”

Li Liangfu is not stupid, he received the order as if he was amnesty, and took a dozen horses to run first. Zhuang Shao summoned the deputy envoy Du Xingming and two counselors, and after explaining that he understood, he also rode back to the city, of course, he walked very slowly all the way.

The carriage crossed the Chanshui Bridge to the east, and the outskirts of Mingcalf Town were a wasteland, slightly hilly and undulating, and the carriage could have bypassed, but Du Xingming had to take the steep slope in front of him to take a shortcut, but when he got to the bottom of the hillside, the carriage creaked and rushed up the ramp for two or three feet, and when it reached the turn, it was a little out of order, and soon retreated back.

The ramp faces the mountain on one side, and there is a small river at the foot of the mountain on the other side that leads directly to the water, but the slope is only four or five zhang high, and in the middle of winter, there is no vegetation on the surface of the hillside, and it is all bare.

Du Xingming scolded, slapped the horse and lashed at the coachman, and angrily reprimanded: "You are so incompetent that you can't even drive the car, who will replace it, brothers?" ”

"Let me come! Storage can go uphill! A chief came out in response and strode over.

Du Xingming stared at the coachman viciously and shouted, "Did you hear that!" Don't get me off yet! ”

Seeing this situation, Meng Chang's two guards were full of anger, and stepped forward to look at Du Xingming angrily with their hands on the hilt of their knives, but they didn't dare to say anything.

"Your Majesty!" The coachman was also Meng Chang's guard, and when he heard the sound, he hesitantly turned his head and shouted, the red painted door of the carriage behind him was halfway, Meng Chang poked his head out and looked around, waved his hand and sighed softly, and said nothing.

The coachman turned over with a suffocated face, Du Xingming's subordinate Bai Chang sneered, took the chariot all the way up, waved the horsewhip and shouted: "Wait so close, step back, make room for the carriage, hurry up and rush again, you will definitely be able to go up!" ”

When the two Shu army guard captains heard this, they looked at each other and felt that what the Bai chief said was reasonable, so they took their subordinates to retreat from the side of the carriage, and retreated far to the side under Du Xingming's intentional drive, but suddenly saw the Zhou army surround at once, and the ten guards were surrounded and controlled.

The two captains of the guards immediately realized the danger, and before they could give a warning, they saw the carriage of seventy or eighty paces in front of them start again, and the axle made a strange noise, and rushed towards the hillside with a roar.

The two horses pulling the cart could not move, but struggled vigorously, and with a long neighing sound, the halter that was attached to the front shoulder blade was torn off, and the belly strap also broke, and they rushed without restraint. The carriage was untied, and it overturned to the side of the road again, but due to the imbalance of the center of gravity, it rolled directly from the side of the road and fell into the river, making a loud "tom" sound, and the water splashed in all directions, making a huge ripple.

"Not good...... Save Your Majesty! The two Shu army guards were shocked, and they didn't care that the Zhou army around them deliberately surrounded them, trying to squeeze out the crowd, but what was waiting for them was a sharp blade piercing the heart.

"Wait for the thief to kill the king! The sky will thunder and split, and you will not be able to die! The head of the guard foamed at the mouth and roared angrily, seeing that the brothers around him were suddenly poisoned one by one, and wanted to draw their swords to resist, but their limbs were restrained, and they only struggled in vain.

"Killing the king? Whose king? It's just an arrogant and lascivious old rice worm, and he should have died a long time ago! Du Xingming scolded angrily with disdain, and then turned his head to the soldiers and shouted: "What are you still looking at?" Quickly salvage me, I want to see people in life, and I want to see corpses in death! ”

In the afternoon of the same day, Li Liangfu and Zhang Yue rushed to this slope, the carriage with one wheel off was still overturned by the river, and only some villagers with good things nearby stayed here, and Meng Chang's body had already been transported back to the house.

Zhang Yue rode all the way back to the city, and rushed directly to the Shahe County Mansion, where he saw that there were already soldiers of the Guards Brigade guarding inside and outside. In the lobby, the brothers Li Qi, Zhao Chongpu, and Yi Xianhui, who were demoted to Shuzhong, had gloomy faces, and sighed. When he saw Zhang Yue coming in, he didn't look over, and he didn't come forward to salute.

Zhang Yue hurriedly rushed into the lobby and asked anxiously, "How is Meng Baoyuan?" Is there any salvation? Is Lang Zhong here? ”

Li Qi snorted coldly, glanced at Zhang Yue with a smile, and stepped out to salute: "His Royal Highness the King of Qin is really eloquent, you are thousands of generations, many sons and many blessings!" ”

"Dr. Li is so polite! Saving people's lives is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter, now is not the time to be noisy, Meng Baoyuan, take this king to take a look! Although he had received the exact news, Zhang Yue still pretended to be serious.

"Lift it out! Always let His Royal Highness King Qin see him before he can rest assured! Li Qi snorted, meaning something.

Hearing this, Feng Qianhou stepped forward, his triangular eyes blinked with fierce light, and he sneered: "Doctor Li is also a famous minister in Shuzhong, you must not talk nonsense, it is obviously a carriage breakdown and wrecked, what does it have to do with my king?" ”

Li Qi's nostrils turned to the sky and ignored it. And the Yi Xianzheng brothers were beside him, but they didn't say a word, Zhao Chongpu trembled his mouth, seeing that the hall was full of civil and military people from Kansai, and sighed weakly.

The four Meng guards walked out and slowly placed them in the lobby. There were bursts of women's cries at the door of the backyard, Zhang Yue's face was solemn, and he slowly stepped forward and dropped the cloth covering the body, Meng Chang's body was intact, but his belly was bulging, his mouth was still running water, and his forehead was slightly bruised with purple skin.

"Meng Baoyuan! This king just invited you to the Lantian camp to watch the troops, why are you so careless! If you make such a fuss, you will teach this king how to behave! Zhang Yue stroked his forehead and sighed innocently.

Speaking of which, Zhang Yue is a little innocent, this matter was planned by Feng Qianhou, it was already late afternoon when Li Liangfu arrived, and the matter had already happened, and it was too late to stop it. But on the other hand, Meng Chang's clan was killed in Fuzhou, and wouldn't keeping Meng Chang make him hate himself, so it was only a matter of time.

In the afternoon of the same day, Zhang Yue issued an order: posthumously presented Meng Chang as the king of punishment and the order of the book, and the funeral was treated with Li Qi, Zhao Chongpu, Yi Xianzheng and other officials in Shuzhong, and the funeral was promised to be buried with the rites of the vassal king, nickname: Zhuang mourning!

Zhuang, Wu but not Zhuang; Died in the wilderness. Mourning is a fair and sympathetic meaning, so this nickname is appropriate. Originally, he had to wait for the funeral to be given the name, but Zhang Yue was short of time, so he simply put it in place in one step, and then only sent someone to supervise the funeral.

In addition, it is necessary to send someone to Fuzhou to find the remains of the Meng family and transport them to Guanzhong for burial together, which can be regarded as an explanation to the officials in Shuzhong, at least in terms of face. And whether Shuzhong will be in chaos because of this, the answer is inevitable, but it must be controlled within a certain range.
