Zhang Chengdou walked for half an hour, passed through the lively street corner, and saw that the people on the street were happy, all happy, but there were many worries in his heart, and now it was the time when his father-in-law was in danger, and he was really not in the mood to look at the happy people on the street, only felt the noise on the street, and the sound was in his ears.

Contrary to the crowd, when he was squeezing back, he suddenly saw a group of soldiers squeezing towards Anyuanmen, it was a group of brothers from his own family, Zhang Chenglu at the head, Zhang Chengzhi's brothers, behind, is their own battalion head of more than 1,000 Liao soldiers, the past half a year of the campaign, there were originally 2,005 brothers, now only about 1,008, only to see their brothers are neatly dressed, to the direction of Anyuan Gate, all of them show a happy look, the pedestrians on the street look at the soldiers, not as afraid as before, now that the battle has been won, the old Baiwa on the street is naturally polite to these officers and soldiers, usually do not wait to see these guest soldiers.

Zhang Chengdou squeezed over, and was eye-to-eye with Zhang Chenglu, Zhang Chenglu squeezed over, and shouted: "Brother Dou, you are also here, then the old official Cui promised to give us military salaries, and I heard that we will make up for five hundred war horses, all of which will be placed at Anyuan Gate and waiting for us to receive them, come with us, your men have also lost a lot, just make up for it together." He shouted happily, Zhang Shujiao's soldiers and horses were all distributed to the commanders of the righteous sons, each of his righteous sons had a cavalry, each of the righteous sons could be regarded as the captains, of course, there were a few military commanders who were not the righteous sons, they were brothers of the same generation as Zhang Shujiao, and they had a few battles in half a year, and there were a lot of losses, so they all wanted to subsidize, but Cui Guiyuan insisted that there was no, Zhang Shuijiao knew that he was wearing small shoes for himself, but there was no way, and now this time he finally let go, with this supply, it was naturally very happy with this Liao soldier.

Zhang Chengdou squeezed through the crowd, rushed to Zhang Chenglu's face, and shouted urgently: "Where is the father-in-law? Why didn't you see the father-in-law?"

Zhang Chenglu said with a smile: "Then Jiang Guodong came to invite his father-in-law, saying that tonight's celebration banquet, he would invite his father-in-law to sit in the chief, just now Ah Zhong took someone to protect his father-in-law and went to the governor's yamen, and when he left, he told me to wait to go to Anyuanmen, and after receiving military funds, he went to the governor's yamen to eat and drink together." "I was very happy when I spoke.

Zhang Chengdou shouted: "Don't go, don't go, this is a trap, Cui Guiyuan wants to kill his father-in-law, everyone don't go to Na'anyuanmen, let's tie up our father-in-law, escape from the city quickly." He spoke urgently, but he didn't know that the other party was so fast.

On the side, Zhang Chengzhi said: "Don't joke, kidnap your father-in-law out of the city, what do you want to do? And we haven't received military funds for a long time, now is the time for supplies, how can we miss it, and Zhang said that Cui Guiyuan wants to kill his father-in-law, you have been talking about it for so long, and you haven't seen Lord Cui start, you don't want to scare yourself, our father-in-law is a first-class general in the court, holding a silver order arrow, how can you say kill and kill." ”

The other Xiangyi sons didn't believe it, and they all came forward to ask, Zhang Chengdou is usually not without contradictions with the brothers, and the brothers often quarrel because of the uneven distribution of materials, and now they can't convince a few brothers, only Zhang Chenglu's relationship is relatively iron, and he has saved each other's lives, and when he saw that several other people didn't believe him, he said loudly to Zhang Chenglu: "Chenglu, you believe in my brother's words, you bring a soldier under you, and I also call a soldier under me, we go together in the governor's yamen, and naturally we can save my father-in-law." Zhang Chenglu thought about it, and saw that there were other brothers and uncles on the side, and thought that only Zhang Chengdou was the only brother who was good to him on weekdays, so he said: "Okay, Brother Dou, let's take a look, I have more than 100 riders under my command, and you also bring more than 100 riders under you, let's go and take a look, but according to me, most of the time there is nothing to do, you don't scare yourself." ”

The other righteous sons were silent, Zhang Chengzhi said: "You still don't want to be like this, if you let Lord Cui see it, let Master Cui know that his father-in-law is suspicious of him, and how is it good to ask the righteous father, and if you don't go to Anyuanmen, we won't keep these materials for the two of you." ”

Zhang Chengdou shouted: "You'd better follow me and Chenglu to rescue together, I'm afraid that as soon as you arrive at Anyuanmen, you will be disarmed, so let's go with me to save people." ”

Several uncles were silent and did not agree to Zhang Chengdou, Zhang Chengzhi said: "You two go by yourself, it's none of my business." Several uncles also squeezed to the side, not wanting to go with Zhang Chengdou.

Zhang Chengdou was helpless, got on the horse, went to the army under his command, counted the manpower, and joined Zhang Chenglu, the two turned the horse's head, took the two cavalry under their command, and began to go against the flow of people to the governor's yamen.

In the courtyard behind the governor's yamen, the standard battalion guerrilla Jiang Chaodong was wearing chain mail, followed by a team of pro-soldiers, and in front of him was Cui Guiyuan, at this time Cui Guiyuan had already put on the red court clothes, and the white crane was embroidered on the complement.

Cui Guiyuan took a sip of tea and sat on the official chair safely, this yellow flower wooden chair was sent by several grain merchants, and all the reselling of military food and soldiers' mouths below had to be divided into a big head to the top people, and now Cui Guiyuan is also one of the top layers, and the grain merchants below can't directly take yellow and white things in order to curry favor, the right way is to send both yellow and white things, but also elegant things, and then finally to be able to make a little name for Cui Daren.

Jiang Chaodong walked a few steps, the chain mail on his body made a "click" sound, as the governor's standard camp, the equipment is naturally the best, Cui Guiyuan also picked strong people from the army several times to stuff them into his standard camp, it is really strong.

Cui Guiyuan said softly: "Is the Du'an faction in place?" Jiang Chaodong lowered his body and said: "Don't worry, my lord, all sides have been arranged, as long as he comes in, he will be like a turtle in an urn, in order to prevent him from hurting people, all the generals will be under the weapon when he enters the door, and the Liao soldiers under him under him have been sent to Anyuanmen, and the deputy general Sun Dagong has been arranged to lead 5,000 troops, and he has been ambushed in Anyuanmen early. ”

Cui Guiyuan was a little worried, so he said: "What can the other generals do, will they be connected in private, do you have any news?" Jiang Chaodong said: "Don't worry, my lord, although Zhang Shujiao can fight, he has offended many people, except for Zu Tingnian and Long Shizhong, there is no one else to deal with him in the past few days." Cui Guiyuan said: "This matter needs to be thundered, if you don't do it, you will have no strength to fight back." Jiang Chaodong said: "The adults are clever, and the young generals are impressed." ”

Cui Guiyuan held the teacup, thought about some of his own parts again, thought about it, and said: "How many generals did not come today?" Jiang Chaodong said: "Except for the guards who guard the four gates, all the generals will come to the governor's yamen today, and all the generals are not in their own barracks, so it is impossible to incite rebellion." Cui Guiyuan thought for a while and said, "Is it good to transfer all the guards of the four gates back?" Jiang Chaodong said with a smile: "The idea of the adults is naturally good, but if the four guards are transferred back together, it will be eye-catching. Cui Guiyuan said in a deep voice: "Then forget it, the official will rely on you tonight." Jiang Chaodong said: "Zhang Shujiao has been paralyzed in the past few days, it is a good time to do it, rest assured, I will succeed tonight." ”

At this time, a group of armored soldiers were distributed in the left and right compartments of the governor's lobby, silent.

In order to prevent someone from rebelling, soldiers were sent to quietly lurk in the alleys in several streets of the governor's yamen, and if they didn't pay attention, of course they couldn't see it, but once someone really rushed out of the yamen, these soldiers could immediately block the way out, so that Zhang Shujiao could not go back.

Of course, if the general is not satisfied and makes a rebellion together, these standard camp guards must also be suppressed, Cui Guiyuan is most taboo is that someone rushes out of the governor's yamen and returns to his barracks, you must know that each general has a few cronies to defend, once the confrontation, maybe someone will rush out, of course to block the street.

At the same time, Cui Guiyuan has already made up the crime, and now he is waiting to be launched.

Not long after, the generals from all walks of life continued to arrive, there was already a group of pacesetters on the side of the governor's yamen to greet, the generals and the soldiers must leave the weapons when they enter the governor's gate, and because today is to the governor's yamen, the celebration is a meritorious banquet, of course, you can't wear armor, all the generals know the preferences of Lord Cui, most of them wear their own supplements, for a time the governor's yamen is full of military attachés embroidered with bears and leopards on their chests, and the soldiers are dressed up as family members, and they also follow behind the military attachés, but they are not allowed to enter the inner hall, and naturally there are people who lead them to the side to drink.

Zhang Chengzhong is one of the several righteous sons of Zhang Shujiao, and now he is crowded in the side hall with Xiang Xiang's old family for more than ten years, and the surrounding chaos is crowded together with the families of various generals, everyone does not know each other, Zhang Chengzhong grabbed a family member next to him and shouted: "Is the righteous father going to the main hall, why don't you follow." The family said: "Those pacesetters blocked us, and the uncle told us to return, how could we disobey." "In the past few days, Zhang Chengdou has kept saying that Cui Guiyuan wants to kill Zhang Shujiao, although Zhang Chengzhong doesn't believe it, but be careful, the family naturally brings more, but everyone didn't think that they were not allowed to bring weapons in, these more than ten people, all wearing chain mail under their cotton clothes, but the knife they carried with them was taken away, and now they regret it in their hearts.

I saw a row of mermaids entering, carrying dozens of burdens behind, the smell of meat came, all the soldiers began to swallow saliva, and then there were dozens of rough men behind, all carrying wine barrels in, the aroma of wine came, the soldiers who had no knowledge below all shouted, the soldiers were quite hard, it was best to eat dry rice all year round, if the military salary was not timely, maybe they had to drink porridge, and they could only have meat to eat and drink wine during the New Year's Festival, this is still a pro-soldier, and the ordinary battalion soldiers were even worse, and there were often things to escape.

The man despised the soldiers, and shouted: "What are you robbing, are you fighting to be reincarnated? Everyone has it, what are you anxious about?" There were pacesetters below holding weapons, as if they were going to suppress the soldiers, and the soldiers were silent, and they were also soldiers, and the treatment in the standard camp was naturally different from that of ordinary soldiers, but now that the wine and meat were in front, they didn't take care of it.

Brought up a bowl of meat, all of them were placed in the earthen porcelain bowl of plum cabbage button meat, as well as warm wine, at that moment many soldiers picked up the bowl, poured into their mouths, many people grabbed up, Zhang Chengzhong's several soldiers also grabbed a barrel of wine, and a family grabbed a pot of button meat, a few people squatted on the ground, then poured meat into their mouths, and for a time the hall was in a mess.

The doorman spat out a mouthful of saliva, turned around and left, but the standard battalion soldiers on one side stood on the side, coldly watching everyone.

Zhang Chengzhong was not in the mood to grab meat to eat, walked to the door, and said to the commander of the standard battalion: "Brother, I want to go to the main hall to have a look, can you let me out?" handed over a piece of silver under his hand, and the standard battalion soldier held the knife, and did not accept the ingot of silver in his hand, and sneered: "It's good here, there is a place to eat and pull, the main hall is where the governor is, what are you, you dare to go to the main hall, and you are not afraid of colliding with all the adults." Zhang Chengzhong laughed a few times and said, "Yes, yes, I'll go back." When they returned to the crowd, everyone was in a mess, and some of the soldiers sat on the ground and gambled. The crowd was very chaotic for a while, and when he couldn't see the captain, Zhang Chengzhong quietly bypassed the corridor, and a few standard camp soldiers on the road did not notice him, and when he arrived at the thatched house, because he was afraid of smell, there were not a few standard camp soldiers guarding here, Zhang Chengzhong went in, and saw a window on one side, one and a half high from the ground, and saw that no one came in, Zhang Chengzhong jumped up, and without making a sound, he quietly opened the window, outside the window was a bluestone road, a group of cooks carried things forward, Zhang Chengzhong knew that the front was the main hall, so he jumped down lightly and touched the front。

He was wearing a cotton helmet commonly used by Zhou soldiers, the quality was slightly better, and he looked like a standard battalion soldier, because there were a lot of standard battalion soldiers sent by the governor yamen today, so no one paid attention, he followed a group of people for a long time, and suddenly there was a roar in front.

A voice came, it was Zhang Shujiao's voice, only to hear Zhang Shujiao scold loudly: "This will be a first-class festival general, holding a silver order arrow, Cui Guiyuan, you dare to kill me." This voice came, which immediately startled Zhang Chengzhong, and he became more and more anxious, squeezed a few steps, and squeezed forward.

When I finally arrived at the door, I saw groups of standard soldiers rushing to the door of the main hall, and that Jiang Chaodong was at the door, Jiang Chaodong shouted: "Don't leave Zhang Shujiao." The standard battalion soldiers behind him poured in, and there were sounds of fighting and roaring in the hall, and someone shouted, "Protect Lord Cui." And he ran out screaming at a maid.

Then I heard a screaming voice shouting: "You have committed 12 major crimes, and this official has already made it clear to the Holy Lord, and the holy decree will be issued on the same day, and you will be beheaded now." ”

In Wuchang City, in an alley, it was already the time of the ban, but there were still a few chickens and dog thieves here, a group of green skins came out of a dark kiln, all with the smell of wine, and even happy between their expressions, when the first green skin, naked, patted their belly and smiled: "This little lady is even tasteful, we will come often in the future." A green skin stepped forward and shouted: "Brother Huang, after Brother Sen followed the prince back to the divine capital, Brother Huang is our boss, and only by following Brother Huang can we play this free girl every day, if Brother Huang has any instructions in the future, just say it, the little ones will not do anything else, and it is not a problem to teach a lesson to a person." ”

Brother Huang touched his beard and said with a smile: "It's all the benefits of the son, if it weren't for the son's words, these rogues would be so obedient, and we will come to these places often in the future, as well as the three aunts and six women in the south of the city, we will teach them one by one, so that they can be obedient." ”
