Seeing that Dong Sheng was silent, Zhang Chenghuai continued: "The reason why I asked you for that note yesterday was because I was instructed by the storage ban. I had already given him the note, not as it had been explained at the time. ”

Dong Sheng nodded lightly, patted his arm and said, "The governor can be open and honest, which is far beyond ordinary people, and this official will never be guilty." Tell me again, what is he doing with this note? ”

Zhang Chenghuai was stunned for a moment, and then frowned: "If I tell him about this earth-shattering plan, he will definitely cite this as evidence, wait for an opportunity to expose it, and eradicate the foundation of the Chen Party at the border pass, and the new policy will have no one to control it, and let it cause trouble in the army." It is better not to say it, so as not to be used by him. ’

"I don't know," he thought about it, raised his head, and said with a blank expression, "He doesn't trust me very much, and he has always kept his mouth shut, and only discussed it in a low voice with a few henchmen. ”

"Hmm...... That guy is indeed a smart man," Dong Sheng said, "If you don't know anything about his actions, it's hard to guess just by guessing." ”

"I'm willing to take a trip to Huai'an for you!" Cheng Huai stepped forward and arched his hand, "I am only wearing civilian clothes, and I will never startle the snake." Once their plot is understood, everything will be easy. ”

Dong Sheng's face was overjoyed, and he stood up and said, "In this case, the hard work is over!" He then thanked him and said goodbye and sent him out of the tent.

When he came back to the tent, Dong Sheng did not prepare to turn off the lights and rest, but stood in front of the lamp with a solemn expression, holding a small piece of confetti of stationery back and forth. Suddenly, as if he had figured something out, he threw away the confetti, turned around and sat down at the table, took a new piece of paper, and wrote:

'Again Ye Gong: Governor Zhang Chenghuai has a repetitive temperament, the first rat at both ends, although there are times to help, but can not be with us and others, and it will be a trouble. I implore Ye Gong to try to get rid of this person after this incident, and Dong Sheng waited for orders. ’

Zhang Chenghuai immediately left Suidi, rode a fast horse, and arrived in Huai'an before the curfew. He knew Cunzhao's plot well, and only inquired about the whereabouts of a few officials, expecting that Cunzhao would collude with the military room first, so he took advantage of the night to break into the mansion of the military secretary's office.

In order to save his life, there was no one who did not support Cunzhao's plan, so he was in a unified voice, and prepared to make a big fuss in the county office, persuading the county lord to side with them.

The task of the military room is the heaviest, and the Zhu Shuban here is the most nervous, and he still can't sleep until now, and he still thinks about it in the study with a lamp; Suddenly, he heard a tap on the door, thinking that it was his family, but as soon as he opened the door, a calm and resolute face appeared, which frightened him to take half a step back.

"Do you recognize me?" Zhang Chenghuai took off his hat, pressed the sword at his waist with his hand, and asked sharply.

"No...... I don't know ......."

"Do you know this?" He reached out and took out an official seal and asked again.

"You turned out to be ...... Zhang Dudu! Zhu Shuban's face was pale, and he knelt down and shouted, "I don't know why you came to visit secretly?" The villain must fully cooperate! ”

"It has nothing to do with you," Zhang Chenghuai withdrew the seal, "I'm here to see the ban." ”

"Are you on the orders of Dong Jianjun?"

"As the governor of Xuanhua, I have my own plans for everything, do I have to listen to anyone's dispatch? But you, listen to me or listen to the ban? Zhang Chenghuai stared at him.

"Of course it's you......" Zhu Shuban hurriedly made a deep thought.

"Let me ask you, Dong Jianjun said that a messenger came to question him, saying that the military department would not give money and food, was this messenger intercepted by Cunzhao and forced to change his words?" Zhang Chenghuai's voice was extremely urgent.

"I saw with my own eyes that a messenger had come! But if he didn't see him, he didn't know. ”

"Well, this makes sense," Zhang Chenghuai smiled slightly, and said to himself, "There is nothing to do with the Ministry of War here, it turns out that it is all set up by him!" It seems that as long as the current problem is solved, Suidi on the front line will be fine. ”

"What's the game?" Zhu Shuban looked at him in a daze.

"It's nothing," Zhang Chenghuai waved his hand, "it doesn't matter at all." The important thing is that I will stay at your home these days, and I will be able to reconnoiter the movements of the county government at any time; And it is up to you to report the results of the daily deliberations one by one, and you are not allowed to conceal them. ”

"Okay, villain, I'm going to make room for you!"

Zhu Shuban nodded and flattered, and hurriedly walked to leave, but he pressed his shoulders again: "Why are you walking so fast?" What happened today, what Cunzhao explained, he hasn't confessed to me yet. ”

"He, he told me that when the magistrate was done, he would issue a document to mobilize the soldiers and make Huai'an City under full martial law."

"Martial law?" Zhang Chenghuai's eyes widened and pressed harder.

Zhu Shuban endured the pain and said: "Yes, once martial law is imposed and the city gate is closed, even if Dong Jianjun comes in person, he will not be allowed to enter." ”

Zhang Chenghuai didn't expect Cunzhao's methods to be so vicious, he couldn't help but gasp, and said with a stern expression: "Remember, don't let martial law be approved like this!" You have to drag on the time desperately, and you can drag it for as long as you can! ”

When Zhu Shuban heard this, he smacked his lips in embarrassment: "The villain should do his best, but tomorrow is the day to persuade the magistrate, everything is ready, and it won't take a long time." ”

Zhang Chenghuai stretched out a finger: "I don't ask for much, I just ask you to hold him off for a day." If the day is still too long, how about delaying it until tomorrow evening? ”

"Small...... Really try your best. ”

Zhang Chenghuai heard his unconfident reply, and his heart gradually became suspicious: "Although Suidi's trip is only half a day away, I will write a letter tonight to send it, and he will definitely be able to arrive during the day; But if Dong Sheng came early and couldn't grasp the situation, leaving time for the store to react, the key evidence would be destroyed. At that time, they may accuse us and sue us to the court......

He didn't have a clue about this, but he was entangled in another question: 'Even if there is really God's mercy and happens to expose Cunzhao's conspiracy on the spot, then the Ye Party will definitely be wiped out, and there will be no one to restrain their power......'

Two difficult 'problems' kept lingering in his head, so that he was distracted.

"Your hand, sir, can you let go?" Zhu Shuban didn't dare to disturb him, but his shoulders were extremely heavy by his arms, and he had to make a little noise.

As soon as Zhang Chenghuai came back to his senses, he was in a hurry, let go of his hand, untied the sword at his waist, and laid it in front of Zhu Shuban: "If you take my sword to the yamen tomorrow, it will be of great use!" ”
