Chapter 532: The Mansion is trapped
Guan Xuehu didn't know that the county mansion was already ready, just waiting for him to come to the door to be arrested.
I thought about how to explain it clearly to the officials of Changqing County during the banquet, so that they knew that they had not taken refuge in Ning Ze, and everyone was their own people.
With a few cronies, he rode in a carriage to the prefectural governor's mansion, and on the way, a vendor picked up a load of radishes and crossed the street, and fell in front of him, and the radishes spilled all over the ground, blocking the road.
"What's going on?" the carriage stopped suddenly, and Guan Xuehu asked.
The cronies hurriedly said: "There is a short-sighted person blocking the road, you wait!"
With that, he jumped out of the carriage and walked towards the vendor.
The peddler looked frightened, apologized again and again, and hurriedly picked up the turnips.
The cronies came to him with a displeased face: "You don't have long eyes?"
"I'm sorry sir!" the hawker kept bowing, "The little one is slipping under his feet, so I'll leave immediately!"
"Hurry up! Delay the banquet of the county honorable, ask you!" the cronie drank.
The peddler hurriedly came to him, took out some copper coins and stuffed them into the hands of his cronies: "Forgive me, forgive me! This is filial piety to you, don't worry about small ones!"
The cronies took the money, although it was less, but how much money could the vegetable seller make? This person was still good, and the expression on his face softened slightly: "Hurry up!"
"Huh!" the vendor hurriedly picked up the fallen turnips.
The cronies turned around and returned to the carriage, and when they counted the copper coins, they found that there was a small note inside, which was difficult to find if they didn't pay attention.
Unwrapped the note, there were a few small words written on it: "It's dangerous to go to the banquet!"
Looking up, the vendor had already packed up the turnips, crossed the street, and hurried away through the crowd.
"Why don't you leave?" After the vendor left, Guan Xuehu saw that the carriage did not move, and the probe asked.
The cronie hesitated for a second, then turned around and lowered his voice: "That person left a note!"
"What do you mean?" Guan Xuehu didn't see the scene in the carriage just now, so he asked suspiciously.
"The vendor just stuffed a few copper coins into the small one, and there was a note in it!" replied in a very small voice, secretly handing the note over.
Guan Xuehu took the note and glanced at it, his brows furrowed: "What's the matter with that person?"
"My subordinates don't know!"
"Is it dangerous to go to the banquet?, what danger can it be?" Guan Xuehu had a strange expression.
"I don't know who the man was or why he delivered the note. There must be a reason for it!" The cronie whispered, "The subordinates think that for the sake of safety, it is better to return the same way ......"
"Ridiculous!" Guan Xuehu snorted lightly, "It's just that the border county order has some misunderstandings about me? I'm afraid that person didn't Ning Ze deliberately arrange it? How could he be tricked to secretly sow discord?"
Guan Xuehu ignored it, let his cronies move on, and the carriage came to the county mansion.
Outside the gate of the mansion, the servants of the county order respectfully greeted Guan Xuehu and his cronies and brought them to the meeting room.
"Brother Guan is late!" As soon as he arrived at the hall door, he saw Bian Shiyu and other officials coming forward.
Guan Xuehu said, let's see? What's the danger of this? That person just now deliberately provoked? Fortunately, there is no end. So he returned the salute with a smile: "The county is too polite, I can't stand it!"
"Everyone is also an official of Nancheng, so it should be! Not to mention that Brother Guan has relieved a lot of pressure for the defense of Changqing County. Bian Shiyu said with a smile, "Please come in, the banquet has been prepared, just take care of the brother!"
"Please!" Guan Xuehu entered the living room with his cronies and sat down with Bian Shiyu and the others.
Bian Shiyu sat on the main seat, flanked by other officials. Guan Xuehu sat on the side of the generals, surrounded by generals with relatively high status in Changqing County.
At the banquet, Bian Shiyu and other officials toasted frequently, and Guan Xuehu and his cronies drank a lot, and gradually unloaded their defenses.
When the wine was half-drunk, Bian Shiyu saw that Guan Xuehu was already drunk, and his cronies were also slightly drunk, and he felt that the time was ripe. Suddenly turn your face and throw the glass to the ground.
Hearing the signal, the 300 county soldiers who were lying in ambush immediately took action, first took down Guan Xuehu's entourage guarding the door, and at the same time rushed into the hall, and quickly surrounded Guan Xuehu and his cronies.
The generals next to him also drew their weapons and quickly surrounded them.
Guan Xuehu looked confused, and stood up staggeringly: "What does the county zun mean?"
Bian Shiyu said sharply: "You and Bai Chaoxin betrayed Nancheng, and you still have the face to ask, today this county will take down the traitor and send it to the imperial city to be disposed of by His Majesty!"
"Misunderstanding!" Guan Xuehu hurriedly shouted, "Brother Bai and I did not betray Nan Cheng, nor did we take refuge in Ning Ze! If I hadn't come, Changqing County would have fallen into the hands of Ning Ze!"
"Don't talk nonsense, you can't deceive the county!" Bian Shiyu said, "If you two didn't take refuge in Ning Ze and betrayed Nan Cheng, why did you follow Ning Ze's order to forcibly seize the county's city defenses? Why did Ning Ze leave, you still stay here to continue to control, but Bai Chaoxin acted with Ning Ze?"
"County Zun listen to my explanation!" Guan Xuehu hurriedly said, "Please put away your weapons for the time being, Guan Mou definitely did not betray Nancheng." Brother Bai and I are here to prevent Ning Ze from seizing the county seat......"
"There is no need to be confused with words, these words should be kept in front of Your Majesty and said slowly! Take it!" Bian Shiyu gave an order, and the three hundred county soldiers gradually narrowed the encirclement under the leadership of many generals.
The cronies around him hurriedly surrounded Guan Xuehu and protected him to prevent the county soldiers from arresting their leader.
The two sides confronted each other, swords clashed.
At this moment, there was a sudden exclamation outside: "It's water! It's water!"
Smoke and flames followed.
"What's going on?!" Bian Shiyu was startled and asked loudly.
"Yu Xianzun, I don't know who set the fire outside!"
Before the words fell, someone hurriedly ran in, very panicked: "County Zun, something is wrong! A large number of black-clothed people appeared outside the mansion, killing all the way to the mansion, unstoppable! They are all shouting for County Zun to let Guan Xuehu go quickly!"
"What?!" Bian Shiyu turned his head and glared at Guan Xuehu, "Traitor, what else do you have to say?"
Guan Xuehu was stunned: "What, what kind of man in black? Nonsense! Who framed me?"
"Do you still dare to quibble until now?" Bian Shiyu said angrily, "I was still thinking about capturing you alive and sending you to the imperial city for His Majesty to fall, but now it seems that you can't be left behind!
"Whew!" the county lieutenant surrounded him with the county soldiers.
The pressure on Guan Xuehu's cronies doubled, and he couldn't keep his hands in this situation, so he shouted: "Fight with them!!"
It seems that there is no way to be good, these cronies are forced to be anxious, of course, they fight for their lives.
Guan Xuehu didn't want to fight hard with Bian Shiyu, but in the face of the relentless offensive of the county lieutenant, he couldn't let the other party kill him, so he tried his best to fight, hoping to kill a bloody way.
In the end, the number of county soldiers was superior, several cronies were killed, and Guan Xuehu couldn't support it, and he seemed to be in a hurry under the siege.
At the last moment, there was a sudden killing sound outside the door, a large number of county soldiers screamed, and then crossbow arrows were densely shot into the hall, killing more than a dozen county soldiers who surrounded Guan Xuehu in an instant.
"Protect the county honor!!" The military generals in the hall quickly retreated to Bian Shiyu's side, and the civil officials were also pale with fright, and quickly hid behind the screen.
The man in black quickly rushed into the hall, trained to use crossbow arrows to shoot, and a team rushed in from behind, and the leader was Guan Xuehu's subordinates, who shouted angrily when they saw the situation in the hall: "Kill in!!"
Guan Xuehu's brain buzzed, and he was completely confused! Before coming over, he clearly asked everyone to guard their positions and not leave at will, how could his subordinates suddenly kill the county commander's mansion? Could it have something to do with these men in black?
The mind suddenly became clear, I'm afraid these people in black have nothing to do with Ning Ze!
But where did he get these men in black into the city?
Could it be that they lurked here in advance?
Oh no! I can't say it anymore!
"Kill ——!!" Guan Xuehu's subordinates led the troops to fight fiercely with the county soldiers in the hall.
There was no way to stop this situation, especially when Bian Shiyu frantically shouted to kill Guan Xuehu and let the county soldiers attack him with all their might.
Even if he figured out that he was being calculated, Guan Xuehu had no choice, either let Bian Shiyu's county soldiers kill him, or take Bian Shiyu and save his life.
Of course he didn't want to die, but once he took Bian Shiyu and killed these county soldiers, it was no longer clear. It was very suspicious in the eyes of the other party before, and after this fight, the name of betrayal was completely implemented, and it was useless to explain it to anyone!
But now there is no way to think too much, in order to survive, Guan Xuehu can only do his best to fight wildly.
In the end, the disadvantage in the number of county soldiers was revealed, and Guan Xuehu's troops and the group of black-clothed men joined forces to clear it, and only Bian Shiyu and other officials were left in the hall.
The corpses were piled up in every corner, and it was extremely tragic.
Several important generals in Changqing County were killed in the battle, including the county lieutenant. Guan Xuehu's cronies almost died, and he himself was covered in bruises, almost unable to save his life.
Bian Shiyu and the surviving officials were barricaded in the hall, and at least half of the officials surrendered to save their lives.
Faced with this tragic situation, Guan Xuehu didn't know how to end it.
It's all like this, and then explain to the other party that he didn't betray, no one will believe it.
At this time, a few more black-clothed men entered the hall with one of his other subordinates and reported: "All parts of the county have been taken, and all the county soldiers have surrendered! Changqing County has been completely controlled by our side!"
Guan Xuehu almost vomited blood, and turned his gaze to the mysterious people who only showed their eyes: "How can this be?"
"If they hadn't reported the news in time and informed the county commander that the trap had been set up to kill the general, we wouldn't have had time to act, and we would have rushed to the rescue and ensured that the city was safe. The subordinate replied, "Now that Changqing County is completely controlled, what to do next, please show the general!"
"Traitor, you can't wait to die!" Bian Shiyu saw that the general trend had gone, and shouted angrily at Guan Xuehu.
"Shut up!" Guan Xuehu's subordinates drew their swords and rushed towards Bian Shiyu, "You set a trap to kill the general, and you still have the face to shout here?"
"Rebels and thieves, everyone will be punished!"
"I cut you!!" the subordinate raised his knife in anger.
"Stop!!" Guan Xuehu knew that he was being calculated, and his mind was very messy. There is still a glimmer of hope, and perhaps it can be redeemed. Once he killed Bian Shiyu, he didn't even have the last chance left, so he hurriedly said, "Take care of them first, and then I can think about how to end it......"
