Chapter 11: The Trap
Guo Jianwu's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "Will the plan be released?" ”
Zhanhu smiled slightly: "You don't have to worry, you'll know soon." ”
He whipped his horse, quickly ran to the door of the post house, and slammed the reins in front of him, first glanced at Ye Xiaotian arrogantly, then got off the horse, gently tapped his palm with the whip, and stepped forward with a smile: "Which one is the post here, this official wants to live in the inn." ”
Xiang Yicheng saw that he was dressed in brocade clothes, and his bearing was extraordinary, but he didn't dare to slack off, so he was busy straightening his small hat, tightening his apron, holding the frying spoon upside down, and said politely: "The contemptible person is here Yicheng." Who is under his feet, and why did he come to Ziyang on business? Do you have official documents? ”
Zhanhu said: "This official Guizhou Shiqian Mansion Tushe Zhanhu wants to visit the capital and pass through your land. ”
Xiang Yicheng heard it and said: "That's sorry, this pavilion is a place where the imperial court officials come and go, you are not a court official, and it is not because of the official travel of the imperial court, our pavilion is not accepted." ”
Xiang Yicheng's words are true, but in fact, the people who live in this kind of official pavilion are by no means officials who come and go, and they can stay with a little connection, and the officials' families go back and forth, and the people in the pavilion usually turn a blind eye.
This pavilion was opened by the imperial court, and there was no profit, and by the late Ming Dynasty, it had become a very serious financial burden. However, Xiang Yicheng is obsessed with the study of food, and his small world is the kitchen, so he doesn't care much about these people's sophistication.
Moreover, now that Ye Xiaotian and his entourage are justifiably going to the pavilion, he can't arrange it, how can there be any place to arrange Zhanhu and these people, looking at the number of people in his entourage, they are not under the number of people who escort Ye Xiaotian.
Mu Dong was greatly displeased, pointed at Ye Xiaotian and the others with a horsewhip, and said, "What is this called, we can't live, what about him?" ”
Xiang Yicheng said: "He is a toast, so he can naturally live!" ”
Guo Jianwu said angrily: "How can this be reasonable. Why can't the toast live in the earth? What's the difference? ”
Xiang Yichengpi said with a smile: "This is not simple? Tusi was appointed by the imperial decree and was appointed by the imperial court! And Tusha is a retainer appointed by Tusi himself. If you want to talk about the difference, it is like this official, this official is appointed by the imperial court, and the imperial court wants to pay me a monthly salary, and I am the official of the imperial court. And my wife, that was hired by the official himself. I will pay her a monthly rule, but I will not do the affairs of the court. ”
Mu Dong was so angry that he yelled: "What bullshit metaphor, is Lao Tzu your little wife?" ”
Xiang Yicheng said seriously: "The little wife has already accepted two, the first thing is that she has to be beautiful, and I don't want to match her appearance like this." ”
Mu Dong reached out his big hand, grabbed his collar, and roared, "Let your mother's bullshit!" Are you deliberately looking for Lao Tzu's ballast? ”
These two people did not speak against each other, and from the beginning there was a smell of gunpowder. Mu Dong was used to being domineering in his hometown, and he couldn't hold it back anymore at this time. However, Xiang Yicheng was not a good temper either, he was grabbed by the collar violently, and he was sprayed with a spit star in the roar. Xiang Yicheng's anger also rose suddenly.
Xiang Yicheng picked up the frying spoon and slammed it on Mu Dong's head, shouting: "Get out of your grandma, a local official." Dare to go to the official's territory to spread wild! ”
The post guards at the door are all locals, with a strong sense of locality, and they are all subordinates of Xiang Yicheng. At this time, how could there be a reason to stand by and watch, and they hugged up, and the subordinates of Zhanhu and Mu Dong and others immediately pulled out their swords when they saw them.
Mu Dong was dizzy by the stir-fry spoon, staggered and fell to the side, Guo Jianwu sneered and drew his knife, and said disdainfully: "Just rely on you local chickens and dogs, Lao Tzu can kill all of them in a moment!" ”
Xiang Yicheng made a fuss, and said with a stiff neck: "Come on, come on, you come to kill!" Lao Tzu's skull is here, if you have the ability, you can take it, damn it, I don't believe that the court will not do you kill officials and rebel, and you will be beheaded all over the house. ”
Ye Xiaotian lazily said to Mr. Pi Vice Qian: "Master Pi, this is too unpleasant, you don't care?" ”
Vice President Pi was smiling and watching the excitement, his own gold lord spoke, but it was not good to brush his face, so he waved his big hand, and all the sergeants immediately raised their swords and guns and approached, forming a counter-encirclement trend against Zhanhu and others.
Mr. Pi shouted: "This official is here, whoever dares to rebel will be killed!" ”
Xiang Yicheng immediately raised the spoon and pointed at Guo Jianwu and the others: "He! It's that they want to rebel! ”
Zhanhu hurriedly stepped forward to persuade Guo Jianwu and Mu Dong, and said to them: "The two of you don't have to argue with others over some trivial matters, let's follow all the way, just to see that Ye Xiaotian can't die well, why bother with extraneous branches." ”
Zhan Hu said while secretly glancing at the two, and the two remembered that Zhan Hu had just said that Ye Xiaotian's burial place was in Ziyang, and the anger disappeared. Guo Jianwu waved his hand stupidly, and their men and horses did not continue to step forward, avoiding another conflict with Xiang Yicheng and Pi Deputy Qianzong's men.
Zhanhu sneered at Xiang Yicheng and said: "You said that the pavilion does not accept the earthen house, but Zhan can come all the way, but the pavilion post in various places has never rejected me." For a person like you who doesn't understand human accidents, you have to do this post for the rest of your life. ”
Xiang Yicheng pouted and said, "What is Lao Tzu's future, do you need to worry about it?" ”
Zhanhu snorted coldly and said to Mu Dong and Guo Jianwu: "Let's go, let's find another place to live!" "Shake the horse's head and leave first. Xiang Yicheng saw them walking away, turned around and looked at Ye Xiaotian and Vice President Pi again, and he was full of smiles and affection.
Although he is not afraid of local officials from other places, but there are many people in the family, so he really wants to make a move, he is going to suffer the immediate loss, fortunately, Ye Xiaotian and Mr. Pi Vice Qian came forward, so he was beaten less, of course he knows this favor.
Xiang Yicheng walked up to Ye Xiaotian and the others with a frying spoon, and said enthusiastically: "Lord Ye, Lord Pi, thank you two for your help." These dirt buns are used to showing off their power in their hometown, and they really think that they have a few catties outside, I'm sorry! I don't know how high the sky is! ”
Xiang Yicheng despised Zhanhu, Mu Dong and others, and said to Deputy General Pi: "Lord Pi, my pavilion is too small, more than 300 people, and it can't be arranged by people alone, not to mention that there are so many horses." However, I can find you another place to stay, enough for three hundred men......"
Mr. Pi Viceqian rubbed his hands and said, "Then ...... the money for accommodation and food?"
Xiang Yicheng said: "Naturally, the official pays!" Don't worry, the owner there is very familiar with me, I just say hello to him, and I will settle the money with him slowly for accommodation and food. ”
When Mr. Pi heard it, he didn't need to spend a penny. Then everything is easy to discuss, and he immediately said with a smile: "It's so good, there is labor to the post." ”
Xiang Hongchen said: "What is this, it is my business, why bother to say thank you." The two adults, please go to the post house first, have a cup of tea, and change your clothes to take you there. ”

Ziyang County is not big, and the baby can pee in the south of the city to the north of the city, it would be good to have a pavilion in such a small place, how could it be big. The same. There are very few restaurants here, and a two-story building in the most prosperous part of the city is the largest restaurant in the county.
This building is called the orange building, because Ziyang has been called the orange town since ancient times, the orange peel produced here is red like fire, the tender meat is full, the juice is abundant, the sweet and sour is moderate, it is the palace tribute since the Tang Dynasty.
Zhanhu took the entire building, drank upstairs with Mu Dong and Guo Jianwu, and sent people out of the four cities to find a place to live for so many of them.
It didn't take long for someone to reciprocate. Instead of finding a place to live, he reported to him: "Lord Tushe, they are out of the city, and they are being led by the cook-like postman." Went to the orangery in the south of the city. ”
Zhanhu slapped the table excitedly when he heard this, and laughed loudly: "Hahahaha...... it's a big deal!" ”
Mu Dong couldn't help but complain: "Brother Tiger, what are your plans?" Now you can say it, Cao Zhan and Zhang's three families are now sharing weal and woe, and you have to keep secrets from us. ”
Zhanhu heard that Ye Xiaotian had finally entered his ambush. In a good mood, he explained with a smile: "The two of you are strange, it's not that Zhan Mou refuses to tell each other, but Zhan Mou can't be sure whether he will definitely be plotted here, but now of course I can say that I know with you." ”
Zhanhu poured a full glass of wine for Mu Dong and Guo Jianwu, and the three of them toasted, and Zhanhu explained to them triumphantly.
It turned out that after Governor Ye sentenced the order to escort Ye Xiaotian to the capital to be judged by the Son of Heaven, Zhanlong Zhanhu, Zhang Yuhan, and Cao Ruiyu got together and carefully analyzed the situation that would emerge in the future.
In their opinion, the most important thing is, of course, to completely disintegrate the forces of Woniu Mountain, as long as the forces of Woniu Mountain can be defeated, defeated, dispersed and even absorbed, even if Ye Xiaotian can get away with it, he will definitely be finished.
So the three of them decided that they must stay in Shiqian and Tongren, and take advantage of Ye Xiaotian's absence and the dragons in Woniu Ridge have no leader, and they will do everything to solve it in Woniu Mountain.
But of course, Ye Xiaotian's scourge can't be let go, especially since they themselves know that the emperor may severely punish Ye Xiaotian to give an explanation to the Tusi in Guizhou, but it is difficult to let him die with his life, and what they want is Ye Xiaotian's death.
Therefore, they sent Zhanhu out again, and told him that no matter what method was used, as long as possible, they would kill Ye Xiaotian halfway, so as to never suffer in the future. Of course, they have no way to predict when the when, where, and when is suitable to start, so they did not provide any advice on how to do it, and it was all up to Zhanhu to improvise.
Although the elite of Mr. Pi Vice Qian is only 300 people, his combat power is worth 1,000 people, and he is very strict with Ye Xiaotian, Zhanhu can't find a chance to start all the way, but he has at least figured out a rule, that is, no matter what the conditions, this army is inseparable from Ye Xiaotian's personal protection, and will never divide the army.
In this case, Zhanhu had a poisonous plan in his heart, and since then, he has arranged for his henchmen to go on the road first to find out the situation ahead. It wasn't until Ziyang that he finally found an opportunity.
This county seat is very small, there are no inns and inns in the city that can accommodate more than 100 people, not even the big car shop is so big, and there are no big houses to rent inside and outside the city, but there is an orange grove in the south of the city.
The owner of this orange orchard is surnamed Zhang and is called Zhang Peng. The Zhang family's orange orchard was responsible for providing tribute oranges to the royal family. Now it is the autumn harvest season, and the Zhang family has just picked the tribute chrysanthemum, waiting for the imperial court to send someone to accept and transport.
In order to grow oranges, the Zhang family built many sheds, which could not only move potted oranges indoors when the weather was cold, but also provide for hired workers to live during the picking season. Looking at the entire Ziyang, only here can accommodate more than 300 people and horses, and they will not sleep in the wild.
After Zhanhu heard the news, he knew that his opportunity had come, so he did not hesitate to buy five barrels of gunpowder from the underworld, and the gunpowder barrels were mixed with a large number of iron nails and broken porcelain.
These five barrels of gunpowder are now buried under the three big houses with the best conditions in the orange orchard, and he wants to blow Ye Xiaotian to pieces and send him back to heaven!
