After entering the city, Mr. Zheng said goodbye to Tianci, agreed to meet again in the future, and then led a group of people straight to the inn. Tianci took two retinues around the county town and looked around, especially the important places of city defense.

Tianci said to the two: "The defense of this city is very important, there are really people who come to attack the city, I am afraid that it will not take a moment to succeed, and he is ashamed to say what kind of war preparation and defense, it is really funny." Both of them should be reconciled, and Chen Jinwu said angrily: "I see that the silver they collected was privately divided, where is it used for defense and garrison." ”

"Let's go, let's go to the mansion and take over. After Tianci finished speaking, he took the two of them straight to the General Soldier's Mansion.

After arriving at the yamen of the General Military Mansion, he explained the situation to the guards, hoping to meet and hand over to the current director. The guard had heard that a new official was coming to take office, but he didn't look like a general soldier no matter how he looked at it, and some of the generals went in to report it suspiciously.

Chen Lude, the former general soldier of Quyang City, won General Huang's appreciation because of the proper reception arrangements during General Huang Zhipeng's westward expedition last time, and later arranged a position for him in the capital, and he had already been promoted and relocated. Now Quyang County is under the jurisdiction of his original subordinate Tan Yunyue.

Recently, I heard that the imperial court has made other arrangements for the position of chief soldier, and I am very depressed, and I am discussing countermeasures with a few strategists in the commander's mansion at this moment.

At this time, I heard a report from the guard, saying that a few people had come to the door, saying that the newly appointed chief soldier had come to handle the handover matters. Tan Weiyue was shocked when he heard this, he didn't expect to come so soon, and he was busy asking the guards what kind of person they were coming, and after listening to the guards' report, he seemed to be a little suspicious.

After consulting with the counselors, he decided not to go out to meet him himself, but to have the people come in first, and then make a decision after seeing them.

Tianci waited outside the door for a long time before the guards came back and invited them in. Seeing that no official came out to greet him, but let them go in on their own, he turned around and said to the two entourage: "Xiaoguan follow me in to pay respects, you don't have to go in when you enter the martial arts, just lead the horses to the street corner and guard them." ”

When the two handed over the horses to Chen Jinwu, Tianci whispered to Jinwu: "After the two of us go in, if you don't see Xiaoguan come out within the time of a bag of cigarettes, you will immediately take the horse and leave, go out of the city to find Liu Duwei, and ask him to immediately lead the team to come to the rescue." After that, he leaned close to Jinwu's ear and whispered how to send troops to rescue him.

After the explanation was completed, Tianci took the retinue Xiaoguan under the leadership of two soldiers into the general soldier's mansion, passed through the instrument gate, and came to the lobby.

At this time, Tan Zhenshou was sitting upright in the lobby, wearing a bright silver crown, wearing purple potassium, and a pink silk flower robe, so imposing. When he saw someone enter the lobby, he didn't mean to get up to greet him, but took a closer look.

After he saw the two of them clearly, he felt funny in his heart, thinking that these people were these people, and they dared to pretend to be the chief soldier, so he slapped the table and asked angrily: "Who is here, and what is your business?"

Sui Xiaoguan was about to step forward to answer, but Tianci stretched out his hand to stop him, and stepped forward to answer: "I, General Huang Zhipeng, the deputy superintendent of the cavalry battalion, Zhang Tianci, was ordered to take over the post of Pingxi Governor and take over the post of the chief soldier of Quyang County. ”

"Oh, I've heard it before, it's just some rumors, but Lord Ben hasn't received a letter from the imperial court, you said you came to take over, or what Pingxi overseer, ah, I haven't heard of this. Then please give me the appointment document of the imperial court in the next look. ”

"This is a temporary appointment, when I was sent to take office, there was no appointment document, only Huang Da verbally ordered me to come to Quyang County to accept the appointment document, if you have not received the document, it can only mean that we arrived earlier. ”

"Ha, ha, ha... , you're too good at. Without waiting for Tianci to finish speaking, Tan Zhenshou laughed and laughed. "This is an important military town, isn't it child's play to appoint important officials in the imperial court, you dare to come to the Shuai Mansion to eat fraud just based on some hearsay rumors. I think you're more like an enemy worker. With that, he suddenly stood up, slapped his hand on the table, and shouted, "Come on, take these two enemies down for me!"

Two groups of soldiers rushed out from both sides of the lobby, a total of about 20 people, holding swords to surround the two Tianci two.

Xiao Guan drew his sword and wanted to fight with the other party, but was stopped by Tianci, who did not want to fight with the other party, first, in the face of so many officers and soldiers, even if he could protect himself, he could not guarantee that Xiaoguan would not be harmed, and second, these soldiers would be his subordinates who would serve him in the future, and he did not want to hurt them.

Without any resistance, the two were captured, and were unsung by all the officers and soldiers, and tied up with ropes.

"Okay, since this chief doesn't believe me waiting, I can wait for two days, and when the court appointment documents arrive, I will take over, okay?" After being tied, Tianci still asked very calmly.

"Since you're here, where can you still leave if you want, wait for Hugh to deceive again, take it quickly, and behead it to show the public. ”

"Wait, if you let me go, after I take over in two days, I will no longer pursue your offense, if you dare to take us down, not to mention waiting for the court to appoint the documents, the personal troops I led are outside the city, if you don't know my news, you will immediately attack the city and sanction you. ”

After hearing this, Tan Zhenshou hesitated a little, and after thinking for a while, he ordered the officers and soldiers to take the two into the prison first, and then publicly behead them in the West Market two days later. On the one hand, people were asked to go outside the city to reconnoiter whether there were troops stationed.

After a while, the soldiers who had gone to investigate came back to report that there were no troops stationed outside the city, but only two or three hundred uniformed cavalrymen mixed with the outcasts outside the city.

After hearing the report, Tan Zhenshou was relieved and discussed with the strategists how to deal with these two people.

Some of the strategists said that these two people were clearly impersonators, and they should be immediately put on display. Some people think that it is reasonable to listen to his words, and they dare not make a rash conclusion, and they should wait for two days to see.

In the end, a master surnamed Wei came out and said: "I think it doesn't matter if it's true or not, it's really the best, Lord Tan should kill them quietly immediately, and then destroy the corpses." No one else should be made aware of this. ”

"How do you say this?" Tan Zhenshou didn't quite understand.

"I don't understand this, if these two people were really sent by the imperial court to take over, and we quietly disposed of them, and after the imperial court appointment documents arrived, no one took office for a long time, and there was no news, and in the end, it was not just to give up, and choose another candidate, isn't it just what you want?"

Tan Zhenshou was overjoyed when he heard this, and shouted: "It's the will of heaven." If there is no evidence on these two people, we will only kill them as rogue couges, and even if they are found out later, we will not be guilty of any serious crime. It's wonderful!"

Lord Tan was complacent, and suddenly there was a news from outside the lobby, and a messenger rushed up to the lobby to report urgently: "Your Excellency, the city defense team is coming to report, there are soldiers and horses gathered outside the west city gate, shouting to release people immediately, otherwise they will attack the city, take, take the lives of adults!"
