The benefits that the civil official group should reap, Yang Chao felt that he couldn't stop it, but he couldn't cheapen these troublesome wealthy families in vain.

So Yang Chao insisted on sending troops.

In Chen Zilong's reluctance, in Yao Sundi's entanglement, and in Zhu Wanhua's sharpening of his sword, Yang Chao's army set off.

Jinhua Mansion is not far from Dongyang County, only thirty or forty miles away, and there is Dongyang River to connect.

Yang Chao did not give Chen Zilong and the others the slightest chance to delay, invited these people to get on his boat, and showed them what a rapid march was, and it arrived in less than two hours

This town is located in Huangtianjia at the foot of Ziwei Mountain, which is the junction of Dongxi, Xixi and Nanjiang rivers, and is a material distribution center, connecting Jinhua, Yiwu and Dongyang.

The old nest of the Xu family is on the crape myrtle mountain behind Huang Tianjia, and the Xu family has built a mansion on it to form a mountain village, which is called Ziwei Mountain Village.

In fact, this mountain is also known as the turtle mountain, low and flat, just like a turtle lying on the ground, the scenery is beautiful mountains and rivers, and the following is the three rivers and rivers, and it is also a treasure land of feng shui.

The Xu family attaches great importance to the feng shui of this mountain, so they bought this mountain and built a mansion on it.

Huangtian is a small town, so naturally it can't stop Yang Chao's army, so he got off the boat directly in Huangtian and moved to Ziwei Mountain.

There is a mountain road leading directly to Ziwei Mountain Village, which is basically specially prepared for the Xu family, of course, this road is also built by the Xu family, the road situation is quite good, from the town to the foot of the mountain is a stone road, and there is a stone road leading directly to the Xu house on the mountain.

"Lord Lao Yang escorted the officials here, but I also asked Lord Yang to camp here. Let's go up the mountain alone. ”

Chen Zilong finally spoke with a gloomy face, and remained silent all the way.

Yang Chao is right this time.

"Just listen to Lord Chen, our army will camp at the foot of the mountain. However, Lord Chen went up alone, and the official was a little worried. Why don't you let the official's personal soldiers escort the adults up? ”

Yang Chao asked with a concerned look.

Chen Zilong shook his head: "Thank you Lord Yang for your kindness." However, Xu Du already had the intention of surrendering, and Lord Yang's personal soldiers were not beautiful when they went up, and it would be bad if it caused a misunderstanding. ”

Yang Chao frowned and pretended to be a problem: "So? That's it! Then it's hard for Lord Chen. However, Lord Chen is in danger alone, and he is really worried. Within an hour, if Lord Chen does not go down the mountain, he will attack the mountain and rescue Lord Chen! ”

Yang Chao just finished speaking. Chen Zilong's face was about to twitch, thinking to himself that he would go to the mountain to negotiate, and you would attack under the mountain, would this protect him or do you want his life?

But it's hard to refuse, anyway, this time to go up, that is, to make a show, saving my friend Xu Du's life is the most important thing, it shouldn't take an hour, so I nodded reluctantly. Then he walked alone on the bluestone pavement.

Yang Chao immediately ordered: "Come here, prepare the cannon, if Lord Chen can't return safely." The cannon immediately bombarded the mountain, and the generals would kill with me to rescue Lord Chen! ”

Yang Chao said righteous words, Chen Zilong, who was walking, almost didn't fall on his head, the good guy was still bombarded, and his steps were suddenly faster, because he suddenly felt urgency.

But as soon as Yang Chao gave the order, the army immediately took action.

I saw that the artillery that had just been unloaded from the ship immediately moved.

All of these guns had gun carts, simple two-wheeled two-wheeled two-wheeled carts, which could be run by one person. It's very lightweight, because the cannons on it are all small cannons. Twenty tiger squat cannons only.

This is exactly the twenty tiger squat cannons that Yang Chao used in Haizhou, so far. Yang Chao himself still hasn't been able to make a cannon, not because the cannon casting craftsmen recruited from Huai'an are not up to the same level, but because it takes half a year for the cannon molds to dry, and those clay molds are still carefully stored in the warehouse until now.

So far, Yang Chao still only has these twenty small cannons in his hand, and if he wants to equip the new cannons as soon as possible, he can only find an opportunity to ask Shi Kefa for them, but for a small battle like the suppression of the Baitou Army, Shi Kefa will definitely not give it, if he goes north to King Qin, Shi Kefa probably won't refuse.

Twenty small cannons, pushed by more than forty people, immediately lined up in a line, across the middle of the bluestone road, and the muzzles of the cannons pointed straight up the mountain.

In fact, with the power of this kind of small cannon, it can't hit the mountain at all, and Yang Chao is just scaring Xu Du.

Yang Chao believes that since the Xu family has reached a tacit understanding with the civil official group, then they will definitely not resist, and Chen Zilong will just go through the motions.

Looking at Chen Zilong, a literati, wearing a green shirt, walking lonely on the mountain, but there are 100,000 rebels on the mountain, no matter how you look at it, there is a taste of a lonely hero, Yang Chao couldn't help but sigh, it would be good that the literati of the Ming Dynasty really had this kind of courage.

Seeing Chen Zilong disappearing in the mountains, time passed minute by minute, as if he was pinching the point, Chen Zilong's figure appeared on the road again, and the time did not exceed an hour.

Chen Zilong told Yang Chao that Xu Du had agreed to surrender and was willing to be captured alone.

"Oh, congratulations to Master Chen, congratulations on your success!"

Yang Chao's demeanor was extremely serious, and he seemed to be really happy for Chen Zilong, and for a while, even Chen Zilong himself felt that Yang Chao probably really didn't know about it, and was simply happy for him.

"Lord Yang can retire, right?"

Chen Zilong took the opportunity to make a request.

"Retirement?"

Yang Chao immediately exclaimed with an exaggerated expression.

"How can you withdraw from the army, since Xu Du has promised to be captured, then let him go down the mountain alone and surrender to this official!"

Chen Zilong's expression immediately changed: "This, how is this good, then they are all going to surrender to Jinhua Mansion." ”

Yang Chao patted Chen Zilong on the shoulder: "Lord Chen doesn't know, this kind of thief is cunning and abnormal, the army of this official is again, he will surrender, and as soon as the official leaves, who knows if he will rebel again." Therefore, it is prudent to let him surrender to the official immediately. The official is ordered to pacify the thief, and it is appropriate for the official to accept and surrender. ”

"This, this!"

Chen Zilong suddenly didn't know what to say about you, Yang Chao was ordered to pacify the thief, and Shi Kefa's transfer of troops, this time he came to Dongyang to be justified. It is reasonable for him to accept the surrender of the thieves, although there is no civil official from Jinhua Mansion to witness in the middle, which is somewhat unruly. But Chen Zilong is also a civil official, and having him in him can be regarded as a composite procedure. He really couldn't find an excuse yet.

"Lord Chen, if you don't have to work hard, go up and inform Na Xu Du, tell him to come down and surrender, and the official will definitely keep him fine. If you try to deceive the government, don't blame the official for attacking the mountain, and then the Xu family is afraid that there will be a catastrophe. ”

What Yang Chao said could not be refused, and Chen Zilong could only reluctantly set foot on the stone road leading to the mountain again. This time, he went up without the taste of the lonely hero just now, but looked very helpless and frustrated.

Half an hour later, two figures walked down the mountain one after the other, one of them was Chen Zilong, and the other was a young man dressed closely, quite heroic.

The young man Junjie followed Chen Zilong directly into the Yang Chao army at the foot of the mountain.

At this time, Yang Chao did not set up camp, but the sports car was placed in the front, and there were a phalanx of about 10,000 people on the left and right sides of the back, and a large phalanx of 5,000 people in the center, and Yang Chao's flag was tied in front of the phalanx. Hundreds of pro-soldiers lined up behind him, and there were about 20 pro-soldiers on each side to protect him.

Chen Zilong led people through the middle of the sports car and walked straight to Yang Chao.

Then the man knelt at Yang Chao's feet with a plop: "Sinners Xu Du." When I met General Yang, I was honest and attached, and I hoped that General Yang would have a way to live. ”

Yang Chao helped Xu Du up with a pleasant face, and said with a smile: "Xu Zhuangshi is really a hero." ”

Saying that, he looked Xu Du up and down, this Xu Du was powerful, his face was fair, and he looked like a character who could write and martial arts, but how could he be such a fool? Yang Chao really couldn't figure it out.

At this time, suddenly a person ran next to him, and the great god shouted, "Lord Yang." Don't be deceived by this thief, he is very rebellious. The Xu family secretly hid weapons. Raising the dead has long been intended to rebel. Lord Yang must not be fooled. Just take this opportunity to take down this wingman. Then take advantage of the leaderlessness of the thieves, kill the mountain, and clear the thieves in one fell swoop! ”

When Xu Du saw the comer, his face was shocked, and he immediately stood up: "Yao Sundi, you dog thief, if you don't force you step by step, how can you make trouble." ”

The person who came was Yao Sundi.

Yao Sundi also jumped to his feet: "Xu Du, you traitor, you Xu family has thousands of acres of land, but you refuse to donate a few thousand taels of silver, but blame the official for persecution, it is really unreasonable." ”

Xu Du took a step forward, his face was full of anger, as if he had the intention of beating Yao Sundi, Yao Sundi was weak, and his momentum suddenly weakened, and he unconsciously took two steps back.

Yang Chao shouted: "Enough! ”

Only then did the two of them lower their heads at the same time and clasp their fists at Yang Chao.

Yang Chao snorted coldly: "Do you two still have this official in your eyes, and is there still Lord Chen, what kind of system is the uproar before the battle." ”

Chen Zilong sneered, today is really passive, he has already discussed things, but he didn't expect that there were changes everywhere, so he couldn't deal with it.

Yang Chao said in a deep voice at this time: "Lord Yao County, you said that the Xu family raised dead soldiers and secretly hid weapons, but there is real evidence?" ”

Yao Sun Di bowed and said, "Lord Yang, if the Xu family has no dead soldiers and no weapons, how can they rebel?" ”

Yang Chao nodded.

Without waiting for Yang Chao to ask, Xu Du immediately defended: "General Yang Mingjian." They all had no choice but to rebel, but they were forced by this dog thief. Where are there any dead soldiers under his command, they are all tenants who can't survive, and they are all forced by this dog thief. Where there is any weapon, it is just a chopping wood for soldiers. ”

Chen Zilong also said at this time: "What Xu Du said is true, what I saw on the mountain under the official is not much just some hoe farm tools." ”

Yang Chao nodded, and then glared at Yao Sundi, who shivered very cooperatively.

Xu Du's eyes suddenly felt a little proud.

When Yang Chao saw his appearance, he couldn't help but secretly say in his heart, this is really a fool, he has a good skin, has a good background, and he has studied since he was a child, and he likes to practice martial arts.

But at this moment, something happened suddenly, as if he was forced to be in a hurry, and Yao Sundi suddenly knelt on the ground.

"My lord Mingjian, the lower officials dare to use the head of the item to guarantee, Xu Jiaguo has a weapon to raise the dead, and he will die early, if the adult does not believe it, you can go up the mountain and search to know the result."

Yao Sundi was a civil official. At this time, he actually gave Yang Chao a military general to kneel, even if Yang Chao's grade was very high, he knew it from the second-grade governor. But it's not worth the civil officials to kneel, if it gets out. Yao Sundi's reputation as a Sven scum can't run.

It's obviously urgent.

Yang Chao also showed a look of unbearability, but sighed: "Lord Yao, why are you suffering. The Xu family is a Jinhua family, and they are also famous families in Zhejiang and Zhejiang, and they are scholars, how can they raise dead soldiers and make their own weapons. ”

Yang Chao's words made Xu Du even more proud, the reason why he dared to rebel and repeatedly participated in various rebellions. It is relying on the reputation of the third generation of his family, as long as it is not too much, the court will not pursue it, and now looking at this famous Yang Chao, isn't he also afraid of the prestige of their Xu family.

But Yao Sundi knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Lord Yang, you have the grace of the king, and you are ordered to beg the thief." Now that he is protecting Xu Thief, is there any disadvantage in it? ”

As soon as Yao Sundi finished speaking, Yang Chao was furious: "You guy, you are so daring, you dare to slander your own official." If you don't have real evidence. This official will play the Ming Sheng, no, this official will behead you in front of the army. In order to solve the evil breath of this official! ”

Yao Sundi was not afraid, suddenly straightened his waist, kneeling straight, there is a kind of kneeling posture that I have justice and I am righteous.

snorted coldly, full of contempt and arrogance: "Lord Yang, you can find out if it's true or false, you have repeatedly prevaricated, and you dare to say that there is no merit!" ”

Yang Chao raised his hand and pointed at him. His arms were trembling, and he exhaled angrily, "Someone." Pull this guy down and cut it down for this official! ”

After saying that, the two pro-soldiers were about to do it.

Chen Zilong looked at the big thing badly. Yu Xin couldn't bear it, and immediately came out to persuade: "Wait." Lord Yang, killing Wenchen is afraid that it will be detrimental to the reputation of adults. ”

Yang Chao snorted coldly: "This guy has humiliated me three or four times, and if you don't kill this generation, you will dishonor your official reputation!" ”

Chen Zilong bowed: "Lord Yang is angry, don't be like this person." This person forced the good people, I am afraid that the dog will jump over the wall in a hurry, and if the adults kill him, it will cheapen him. ”

Yang Chao nodded lightly, as if he had forbearance.

At this time, Yao Sundi laughed out loud: "A nest of snakes and rats, a nest of snakes and rats!" ”

Then he looked at Yang Chao and the others with a look of extreme disdain.

Yang Chao snorted coldly, and his chest was very uplifted: "Okay, good!" You ruffian, you frame this official like this, this official must kill you! ”

Yao Sundi was not afraid: "Okay, you want to kill me, but even when you get to the first emperor, the official will sue you!" ”

Yang Chao snorted: "What are you suing me? ”

Yao Sundi said: "Sue you for taking care of Jun'en in vain, fornicating with thieves!" ”

Yang Chao said angrily: "What nonsense! ”

Yao Sundi said: "Whether it's nonsense or not, you can prove it with a search, but you don't dare, hum!" ”

Yang Chao pointed at Yao Sundi and trembled again, he felt that he couldn't go on, and it was time to end.

gasped for a while, and then said angrily: "Okay, this official will let you die, if you can't find it, this official will cut you immediately!" ”

"What? Search! ”

At this time, Chen Zilong and Xu Du glanced at each other, and in the end, they wanted to search the Xu family!

Xu Du didn't understand it, but Chen Zilong had already seen through it, this is also a double reed, obviously one is singing red face and the other is singing black face, the purpose is to search the Xu family.

Chen Zilong immediately said: "Lord Yang, no, the Xu family has the archway of the third Shangshu of the Holy Shangqin, and the search must have disturbed the women and children of the Xu family, and if it is spread out, it will be slandered." ”

Yang Chao was completely angry at this time and lost his mind, regardless of the said: "This official is not afraid of any slander, if you don't let this dog thief die today, this official can't swallow this breath!" ”

Chen Zilong said again: "Adults are naturally not afraid of slander, but if people think that the saint treats the heroes slowly, I am afraid that Lord Yang will take care of Junen in vain." ”

Yang Chao suddenly wondered at this time: "What's the matter?" Don't you dare to let the official search? ”

Chen Zilong was stunned and frowned: "Lord Yang misunderstood, the lower officials are thinking about the reputation of the adults and the reputation of the emperor." ”

Yang Chao ignored Chen Zilong, who brought out Emperor Chongzhen, Chongzhen was six years old, Xu Honggang was eighty years old, the emperor sent an envoy to condole, and posthumously presented the prince Shaobao after his death, which can be described as Longen, but the Xu family is not the opposite, Chen Zilong really has the face to bring out Emperor Chongzhen for this friend.

Yang Chao asked Xu Du directly: "Xu Du, don't you dare to let this official search?" ”

said with a suspicious look, as if he gradually believed Yao Sundi's words.

Yao Sundi was also agitated at this time: "Xu Du, if your family doesn't have private weapons and doesn't store dead soldiers, let Lord Yang search for them, do you dare?" ”

Xu Du froze for a moment, and then said in a nervous tone: "I, I, of course I dare!" ”

Yang Chao nodded: "Xu Du, you are really innocent, don't worry, this official will definitely make decisions for you." If no evidence can be found, this dog official will be blinded, and the official will personally cut off his dog's head! ”

Xu Du gritted his teeth: "Lord Yang's words count!" ”

Yang Chao said: "Natural counting." So we can go up the mountain? ”

Xu Du nodded: "Please!" ”

After speaking, he stepped aside and turned sideways.

Xu Du's expression was complicated, he dared to surrender, those things that should not have been hidden a long time ago, which wealthy family did not have a hiding place such as a secret room, the weapons of the Xu family were also hidden, and Yang Chao could not find it, and when the time came, he could cut off Yao Sundi's dog head and relieve the hatred in his heart.

Yang Chao walked forward generously.

Yao Sundi suddenly shouted again: "Lord Yang, lead the troops up, you go up alone, how to search, you have to show favoritism!" ”

Yang Chao snorted: "You dog thief, just wait for death with peace of mind, it's too noisy." Okay, just take a few people with me and see what else you have to say. ”

After that, I had to take a few of my own soldiers with me.

Yao Sundi still didn't give up: "My lord, the Xu family has tens of thousands of dead soldiers, and if the whole army doesn't go, I'm afraid there will be no return." ”

"Shut up!"

Yang Chao snorted coldly.

But at this time, Zhao Kang also stepped forward: "My lord, although the words of this Yao County order are not listened to, but the adult's daughter's body should not be easy to take risks, so he simply brought a large army, if the search can't be found, it will be good to kill this dog official." If what this dog official said is true, adults must not be unguarded. ”

Yang Chao snorted: "Zhao Kang, what nonsense are you talking about? ”

Zhao Kang argued: "My lord, I also believe that the Xu family is a scholar, and he will not do that kind of thing, but adults are not afraid of 10,000, just in case." I am sure that the adults will lead the troops up, and I believe that the Xu family is also a reasonable family, and they will not blame the adults. ”

Yang Chao was a little hesitant and said to Xu Du: "What do you think of Xu Du?" ”

Xu Du thought that Yang Chao believed him at this time, and he was very confident in the Xu family's level of hiding things, and he was anxious to see Yao Sundi die, so he nodded.

"Please ask Lord Yang to lead troops up the mountain to prove the innocence of the Xu family!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Chaozao waved his hand: "The whole army is open, go up the mountain!" (To be continued...... ）。
