Chapter 518: Gongsun Chan was unjustly imprisoned

When the turmoil in Yuyang City broke out, the most chaotic place was the Taishou Mansion near the north gate.

Among the group of dead soldiers sent by Yuan Shao, the most powerful dozen people gathered together and launched a fierce attack on the Taishou Mansion, where the defense force was relatively weak, intending to occupy the privy place of the Taishou Mansion and burn important documents and files.

When Zhao Yun arrived at the Taishou Mansion, a regiment of the Dragoon Army had already controlled the fire and surrounded the entire Taishou Mansion.

Seeing Zhao Yun coming, an officer with two vertical bars and three silver stars embroidered on his shoulders reported to Zhao Yun: "Xiao Degui, the commander of the third regiment of the second division of the Lower Dragoon Army, is being ordered to encircle and suppress the city as a thief!"

Zhao Yun asked Xiao Degui with a calm face: "Commander Xiao, why did you only see the army fighting the fire and besieging the mansion, but you didn't see rushing to kill and arrest the thieves?"

Xiao Degui stood straight and reported loudly: "General Zhao, the thieves who made the rebellion are now surrounded in the mansion and have kidnapped Cui Taishou's family, and they are still resisting stubbornly. I was afraid of harming the lives of Cui Taishou's family, so I didn't dare to launch a fierce attack, and I asked the general for instructions!"

When Zhao Yun heard that the gangsters had kidnapped Cui Yan's family, he was even more angry in his heart, and said with a cold face: "Send someone close to ask this thief, what do they want!

After Xiao Degui received the order, he no longer gave it to others, and personally approached the main gate of the Taishou Mansion, and then picked up the loudspeaker handed over by the herald and shouted inside: "Listen to the thieves inside, General Zhao Zilong, the governor of Youzhou Army and Horses, asked me to send a message to you! The general said that as long as you let Cui Taishou's family go, he can spare you from dying, and he will promise to agree to your reasonable requests!"

When several dead soldiers of the Yuan family who were besieged in a courtyard of the Taishou Mansion heard this, they opened their mouths and asked the leader: "A Twelve, what should we do now? Do we continue to set fire to this mansion and kill all the people in the mansion, or do we take hostages and move out of the city?"

The middle-aged man, known as Jia Twelve, thought for a moment, and then said, "We will neither set fire, nor kill anyone, nor escape, just wait for Gongsun Chan here!"

"Wait for Gongsun Zhan, do you mean to ask the person surnamed Zhao to call Gongsun Zhan?" asked one of the dead soldiers, known as Jia Sixteen.

"Yes, now that we can't escape safely, it is even more difficult to go to the state pastor's mansion, and if we want to make Zhao Xing and Gongsun Zan turn against each other, we have to blame him here!"

So Jia Sixteen shouted outside: "Listen to the people outside, we can promise not to kill the old and young in the house, but you must call Lord Sun Zhan, the Mugong of Youzhou, within the time of two teas, and we have something to confront him face to face!"

After Xiao Degui made sure that he had heard the villain's conditions clearly, he hurriedly turned back to report to Zhao Yunyu. In fact, Zhao Yun, who had a keen sense of the five senses, had already heard the shouts of the gangsters clearly, and at this time he was wondering why these people only wanted to see Gongsun Zhan.

"Immediately send someone to the Governor's Mansion to report the situation here and the requirements of the villains to Lord Taifu, and ask Lord Taifu to make a decision directly!" Zhao Yun immediately issued a second order to Xiao Degui.

"Obey the order!"

Not long after, Xiao Degui's heralds rode quickly to the governor's mansion, and after revealing their identities to the friendly troops guarding outside the mansion, they ran into the mansion and went straight to the front hall where Zhao Xing was.

At this moment, Zhao Xingzheng was sitting at a banquet in the hall with Tong Yuan, Sima Zhi, Gongsun Zhan, Cui Yan, and several important officials, and raised a glass and drank, and saw a soldier dressed as a herald looking at him outside the hall, looking very anxious. So Zhao Xing put down the wine glass in his hand, found an excuse to leave the front hall, and came looking for this soldier.

"Do you have something to report to me?" Zhao Xing asked.

Probably because he saw his idol, the originally very clever herald stammered a little: "Report, report...... Report to Master Taifu, Governor Zhao asked me to report to you in person, there is a group of thieves in Taishou Mansion who have kidnapped Cui Taishou's family, and now ask Gongsun Zhou Mu to go over and speak!" After overcoming the initial nervousness and excitement, the herald's report became more and more fluent, and he explained the whole situation very concisely and clearly.

"Okay, I already know about this matter, and you should quickly return and report to Zhao Dudu, and say that I and Gongsun Zhoumu will arrive later. Zhao Xing commanded expressionlessly.

After the herald ran away, Zhao Xing adjusted the expression on his face, returned to the banquet with a relaxed face, and drank a few glasses of wine with everyone, and then said to Gongsun Zhan: "Brother Bo Jue, the bridegroom has been out for some time, and he hasn't come back, why don't you and I go and see the situation?"

"Okay, Guochang's words are exactly what I want. I haven't seen Zilong return yet, and it's hard for me to eat and drink here, so it's better to go and see what is going on first!" Gongsun Chan didn't doubt him, and agreed very happily.

"Everyone, use it slowly, I will go back with Gongsun Zhoumu, and when I return, I will have a good drink with everyone!" Zhao Xing explained to the guests in the courtyard as he walked out.

After a while, Zhao Xing and Gongsun Zan rode fast horses and felt that they were guarding the outside of the mansion, and they saw Zhao Yun and Xiao Degui outside the gate.

Zhao Xing nodded at Zhao Yun, meaning that he already knew the complicated situation here, especially the fact that the gangsters had pointed out that they wanted Gongsun Chan to come. Zhao Yun also nodded at Zhao Xing, meaning that the current situation is all under control, in case Gongsun Chan really has a problem, he can take it down in an instant.

"Gongsun Zhoumu, there are about a dozen gangsters in the house, and they are holding the family members of the Taishou hostage, and they are clamoring to talk to the state pastor, and Gongsun Zhoumu stepped forward to dissuade him. Zhao Yun explained to Gongsun Zhan without hurrying.

Gongsun Zan couldn't help frowning when he heard Zhao Yun's words. He secretly wondered to himself, he didn't seem to have anything to do with the martial artists on the rivers and lakes, and he didn't know anyone who did evil, why did these gangsters want to see him by name instead of Zhao Xing or Zhao Yun?

Saving people is like fighting a fire, Gongsun Chan didn't have time to think about it, and immediately approached the gate of the mansion and shouted inside: "Listen to the villains inside, I am Sun Zan of Youzhou, and now Zhao Guochang, the Taifu of the Jin Kingdom, and General Zhao Zilong, the Governor of Youzhou Soldiers and Horses, have led the army to surround Er and the others, if you want to live, quickly let go of Cui Taishou's family and evacuate Taishou Mansion!"

After Gongsun Chan finished speaking, after a while, everyone heard a cold scolding voice from inside: "Phew! Gongsun Zhan, you untrustworthy villain, in the past, secretly exchanged letters with the lord of my family, discussing the plan to deal with the thief Zhao Xing, this time Lord Yuan sent us to Yuyang City to secretly stab Zhao Xing is also a message sent by you secretly, and it has been agreed in advance to wait for the fire in the city to start, that is, when you start to slaughter Zhao, I don't want to fall for your tricks and besiege us in this mansion!"

"Even if we are ghosts, we won't let you go!"

"Despicable villains who don't believe in their words!"

"The handwritten letter you secretly contacted with Yuan Zhoumu is still on me, do you want to take it out for everyone to see?"

......

The dead soldiers who were besieged in the mansion were instructed by Jia Twelve to insult Gongsun Zhan one after another, and they all said with noses and eyes, only to hear that the faces of everyone outside the mansion changed color.

Gongsun Zhan complained bitterly in his heart, when Liu Dai was in charge of Youzhou in the past, he did secretly collude with Yuan Shao, intending to occupy Youzhou, and even participated in the Eastern Front Campaign against Zhao's army earlier, and together with Yuan Shao, he was in charge of the Huguan. The people in the room brought up the old story, but it was difficult for him to refute.

The most hateful thing is that the people sent by Yuan Shao slandered that he was still thinking about dealing with Zhao Xing, but he greatly wronged Gongsun Zhan. Since he became the state pastor, the military power belongs to Zhao Yun, and Sima Zhi is mainly responsible for internal affairs, and a group of generals under his former command have also been transferred to the Jin State.

Without waiting for Gongsun Zan to distinguish a few words, Zhao Xing shouted angrily: "Come on, send Gongsun Zhoumu back to the mansion, and wait for me to thoroughly investigate this matter!"

Several shadow masters who had already deceived Gongsun Chan immediately rushed up, tied up Gongsun Chan, and then quickly evacuated the Taishou Mansion.
