Chapter 81: Forged Notes

When he came back to his senses, Qian Baihu was also ashamed of his embarrassment, but after this sentence was shouted, he seemed to be relieved in his heart. Seeing the man behind him put away the knife, he exhaled secretly, only to feel that his whole body was soaked, and he almost collapsed to the ground.

"A hundred households, dare to call themselves generals!" Chen Wu pursed his lips and talked and laughed with Dian Yong. After drying this guy for a while, he stood in front of him and asked, "Qian Baihu, but you are willing to surrender?" But why did I still hear what Lord Baihu was saying before a cup of tea, 'great rebellion' and 'chaotic ministers and thieves'? ”

When Chen Wu said this, Qian Baihu's heart, which had just been put down, was raised again, his forehead was full of beads of sweat, and he said hesitantly: "Ben will ...... The villain was ignorant for a while, yes, he was blinded by lard before, and he didn't know the general's righteousness...... That, the villain is willing to follow the general to get into trouble, and he also asks the general to raise his noble hand, regardless of the past suspicions, and spare the villain's life. ”

An incompetent junior.

Chen Wu was happy to see such an incompetent and fearful enemy, but he looked down on him in his heart, but it was undoubtedly a good thing that the military attache of the empire was willing to surrender. Regardless of the grade, this represents a tendency. Thinking like this, he nodded and said: "According to Ben Jiang's intentions, he was originally going to behead the public, but since you abandon the darkness and turn to the light, Ben Jiang will not give you a chance." If you do a good job, not only will the previous things be written off, but there will be a wealth for you. ”

"General, please speak, general, please speak!"

Seeing Chen Wu loosen his mouth, Qian Baihu was overjoyed in his heart, and he was busy agreeing.

Chen Wu got up and helped him up, patted the dust of his clothes with a gesture, and said, "Then, the general will say it directly, give you a stick of incense time, and persuade the princes in the county government compound." ”

Killing directly is the way to fall down. If possible, direct surrender will have a greater psychological impact on the rebels. The high-ranking county commanders and the imperial government have all surrendered, so what will they be? As long as such thoughts are combined, the residual prestige and orthodoxy of the empire for more than 300 years will be shaken from the foundation.

"This ......"

Chen Wu's request made Qian Baihu feel embarrassed.

It's just a matter of surrendering to the thief, and it's always a helpless move to survive. But this side surrendered, and then he had to persuade his colleagues and uncle, who was the county commander, that Qian Baihu really couldn't pull that face. However, looking at the sneer on Chen Wu's face, as well as the big knife that he had previously held tightly with the axe hand, Qian Baihu suddenly felt that his legs were weak again.

"The villain will do it, and this will do it!"

Holding back the shame in his heart, he shifted his body and headed towards the closed main gate of the county government compound. His lips moved, and after a long time, he finally opened: "Qian County Order, everyone in the county government, come down......"

As soon as this sentence of surrender came out, Qian Baihu seemed to be out of the way, his mouth suddenly became sharp, and the previous shame gradually disappeared, and he said in a cheeky voice: "Now the princes in the center of the empire are greedy and incompetent, deceiving the emperor and controlling the government, so that the people are poor and miserable. Now there is a wise and martial ...... Eh, General Chen Wu, founded...... The Taiping Righteous Army, raised troops to clear the king's side, swept away the traitors, and returned to the government. Hearing this, the people of Taiping County all gathered to respond and win food. You should also wave your flag in response and join us in the grand event......"

This Qian Baihu, after all, did not have the courage to directly shout out the rebellion.

He beat around the bush and found a name for Qingjun's side. Chen Wu didn't care about him, and let this guy slip through the more he talked, and his voice shouted higher and higher, brazenly boasting for him and persuading everyone in the Lushan County Yali to surrender. It's hard for him, a military attachΓ©, to be able to come up with so many words.

If it weren't for the addition of a sword and axe, Chen Wu didn't think that such a low-level military attache could say so much.

Such shameless words unsurprisingly attracted the rebuke of a group of officials in the county government. Words such as greed for life and fear of death, lack of a monarch, and brazenness are endless. Qian Baihu just didn't hear it, not only did he not stop, but began to name them one by one, luring them with his little relatives.

"Kong Zhutou, I remember that you are a family of five, and the old and young are counting on you to make money to make ends meet. If you die here and fight for righteousness, you will be happy for a while, but who will feed your family? Even if the righteous army is merciful and does not copy your family, without your protection, your family will be ruined sooner or later in this famine! ”

"Zheng Shuban, I know that you are a well-known filial son, and you have never been married. Even if you don't leave a single seed for the three generations of your family, you have to take care of your old mother, right? ”

"Treasurer Yang......"

The previous persuasion had already made everyone in the courtyard panic. However, after all, the legitimacy of the empire is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and no one is willing to take it lightly. Now that Qian Baihu is being named one by one, Kong Zhutou, Zheng Shuban and others who were mentioned by him couldn't help but waver in their expressions.

Although everyone thought that it was impossible for these rebels to succeed in their rebellion, they must be able to sustain a period of time by capturing Lushan so easily. After all, people are greedy for life, even if they live for a few more months, it is better than dying now. What's more, even if the thieves are scattered, maybe they can change places and fall into the grass. And the majesty and ruling strength of the empire have been declining in recent years, and these grassroots officials also feel it.

After a group of people secretly made eye contact for a moment, Mr. Shi, the staff member of Qian County Order, coughed dryly and stood up: "The situation in Lushan is already like this, and you also know it. Why don't I go and ask the prefectural magistrate what he means? ”

If this Qian County Ling, who locked himself in the study after escaping from the city, would have an excuse for "being ordered to be with the thief and the snake in desperation". In the future, even if the empire is liquidated, although they will not be able to get rid of their crimes, most of them will not die for their crimes.

Hearing the staff relax, the people in the county government compound breathed a sigh of relief, their faces appeared happy, and they said one after another: "This is very good." ”

"Then I'll be tired of Mr. Staff."

"Mr. Shi, go and come back quickly."

Seeing the appearance of these people, Mr. Shi sighed in his heart, but there was no difference on his face. He arched his hand and hurried away. After a while, he rushed out of the backyard of the county government in a distracted manner. Seeing everyone coming around, Mr. Shi's expression was dazed, and there was an indescribable relief, bringing a piece of news that they didn't know the joy and sorrow: "The county commander is ashamed of the emperor's grace, and he was seized by thieves, and he has died of poison." However, before his death, Qian County Ling wrote an edict, in order to prevent the righteous army from venting the anger of the people under his rule, and ordered us to endure humiliation and steal life and cooperate with thieves. When the imperial army arrives, we will work together to exterminate these thieves! ”

How so?

Mr. Shi's words surprised everyone present, and they immediately felt puzzled.

Qian County's order is also loyal, and he does not hesitate to commit suicide by drinking doves. How could such a person make such an arrangement before he died? Even if the other party really has an idea, he can explain it in person, so why bother leaving a note?

Whether it is the quick arrest of the officials, or the bookkeeper here, he knows in his heart that there must be something strange in it. But the order note that used the county order seal was indeed the handwriting of the Qian county order. It's just that many people present know that most of the letters exchanged by Qian County's order were handed over to this Mr. Shi, and this guy does have a hand of fake calligraphy.

However, no one has debunked it.

The county commander Ken was martyred, and everyone admired it very much. But is there a better option to trade the reputation of a dead man for the life of everyone present?

Everyone is a handwritten letter under the county order, and the thief is false and wronged. This is not a thief who is greedy for life and afraid of death, but to deceive the trust of the thief, and he should cooperate with the outside world in the future. With the addition of this handwriting, the nature is different. In the future, the empire will be held accountable after the rebellion, and there is no proof of death.

It was just perfect!

So, everyone made a sad appearance, and some people squeezed out two tears, looking like they had to reluctantly surrender to thieves for the sake of justice. It's just that this drama hasn't been done yet, and some people can't wait to urge everyone to quickly open the courtyard gate, and the thieves outside the province are impatient and attack directly.

After Qian Baihu almost named the officials in the county government one by one, Chen Wu saw the open gate of the county government as he wished.

A group of Lushan officials and fast catchers walked out cautiously with stiff smiles and raised their hands.

The reason why he didn't go straight in, but didn't hesitate to waste some time, wasn't this what he wanted? Looking at the expressions of these rebels, you can know that the idea has succeeded.

But all the rebels who witnessed this scene will become the most determined soldiers under his command.
