Chapter 941: Killing someone with a borrowed knife
"Everyone, please be quiet!" Meng Zexu yelled. When everyone was surprised, he threw away the machete in his hand, put his hands back, and said loudly, "Brother Shi, tie up Meng with a rope. From now on
From the beginning, Meng was bound to wait for destiny. Brothers, if you believe in Meng, just wait with peace of mind. As long as the time is up and there is no food, Meng will be slaughtered by you, and Brother Shi will personally wield the sword. You should be able to trust it, right?
?Anyway, Meng doesn’t want everyone to kill each other!”
Meng Zexu's words touched the hearts of many people. Most people did not want to kill each other, so many people stood up. One of the leaders named Gui Boyi said loudly, "Leader Meng is right, no matter who
What I said is true. We must not kill each other right now. Anyone who dares to stir up trouble will be the enemy of our entire Taicang Rebel Army."
Hou Fangyi clenched his fists. He had a feeling that he was still burning with anger. Grandma was a bitch. She thought Meng Zexu was a reckless man, but she didn't expect that he was a bit quick-witted.
Taicang County is not peaceful, and it is not quiet north of the Taicang River. There is a town called Shama Town on the north side of the Taicang River. At this time, a long motorcade stopped in Shama Town, and the townspeople in the town closed their doors and windows.
Don't dare to move. This is not a caravan, but a group of murderers. They have issued a message that anyone who dares to wander around the town will be shot.
In a dilapidated police shed, there was a ghost-faced man. The man was of medium build, a little fat, and his hands were brown and covered with calluses. There was a special three-pointed knife on the table in front of him. Mei Xingsheng failed to come back, so Tie Xinyao must have
The situation is no longer good, Tie Mo is indeed difficult to deal with. A swordsman ran from the entrance of the town, and the ghost-faced man pinched his throat and laughed, "How's it going in Suzhou Mansion?"
"Go back and get the accurate news from Suzhou Mansion. Mr. Mei is dead!"
"Huh, it's better to die. If the master doesn't have a place to use him, I would have chopped him up long ago. If he didn't have a place to use him, I would have chopped him into pieces. Let's go down and wait with peace of mind. In addition, guard the entire town, let alone the people.
Not a single fly is allowed to fly out. After tonight, the sky in Suzhou will change!"
The ghost-faced man is still a little too optimistic. I don’t know if the weather in Suzhou Prefecture will change. Anyway, Shama Town is a bit unsafe, because just now a troop of soldiers and horses came towards Shama Town, and the leader was
There is a general in silver armor, and among the central army, there is also a mighty man riding a flaming red dragon horse. Shama Town is destined to become an extraordinary place, because this place will witness the end of a conspiracy.
The ghost-faced man looked at the sky, but he never imagined that the biggest problem he would face next was how to get out of Shama Town!
Shama Town is a very special place. It is adjacent to the Taicang River in the south, Cheung Chau Jungle in the north, and a mountain in the east. The ghost-faced people came here because they just wanted to take a rest. They thought Shama Town was isolated on three sides, so it was a good place to hide.
, but hiding is no problem now. The key is that it is difficult to come out after hiding. There are many secret sentries outside Shama Town. When those secret sentries saw the large army, they were so scared that they almost peed.
A young man fled back in embarrassment with a knife on his back, and did not stop until he entered Shama Town. "Leader, it's not good, it's not good, there are... a large number of soldiers and horses are coming towards us, the leader
It seems to be Zhou Dingshan..."
"Haha, why are you panicking? Aren't they just some officers and soldiers? Hahaha...uh...who did you say just now?" The ghost-faced man didn't take it seriously at first, but he quickly came to his senses. Zhou Dingshan
But the most loyal bastard under Mr. Tie and his part-time job as a thug, Mr. Yang, coming towards Shama Town, must not be a good thing. Could it be that the food was discovered? The ghost-faced man was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat and jumped up in panic.
He shouted, "Quick, quick, half of the people will bet on the bridge, and the rest will destroy the food immediately, quick..."
The ghost-faced man knew very well that even if this batch of food was destroyed, it would not fall into the hands of the Northern Shan army. With this batch of food, Tie Mo could easily appease the Taicang rebels and control the situation in Suzhou Prefecture. Suzhou Prefecture would not be in chaos, and Xiuzhou would not be in chaos.
There will be no problem. By destroying this batch of grain, although the owner also loses the bargaining chip to control the Taicang rebels, at least he can prevent Tie from recruiting the rebels. As long as the Taicang rebels are still making trouble, Suzhou Mansion will not be able to settle down.
There is a stone bridge to the west of Shama Town. This stone bridge spans the Taicang River. It is the only stone bridge in Shama Town. There are bridges in other places, but they have to go a long way. Ghost-faced people know this
The matter was serious, so he personally led the people to garrison Shiqiao, while the remaining people stayed in the town to gather the food. If there was an accident, they would immediately burn the food and grass. To the west of Shiqiao, Zhou Dingshan rode thousands of miles with his horse in hand.
Jing looked at the situation in Shama Town. The east side of the stone bridge was already full of ruthless bandits. Zhou Dingshan smiled slightly and detached a thousand-man team to go elsewhere. After receiving the order, this thousand-man team immediately gave up their horses and went quietly.
By the river. After the thousand-man team left for a while, Zhou Dingshan ordered everyone to approach the stone bridge.
The next thing is a bit simple. The ghost-faced man is smart, but he is also a smart person who does not understand the art of war at all. He thought that as long as the stone bridge was blocked, the Northern Shanxi Army would have to make a detour even if it wanted to break through.
When many people climbed out of the water, the entire east side of the stone bridge fell into chaos. Zhou Dingshan also took the opportunity to send his troops to seize the stone bridge. Facing this ragtag group of people, he broke through the stone bridge in just one round. The ghost-faced man somewhat regretted it.
, because now he couldn't escape even if he wanted to. Facing the soldiers who were coming up one after another, he was extremely anxious. Without his own personal order, the people in the town would not dare to set fire to the food. What should he do?
Zhou Dingshan's eyes were very sharp, and he saw the man wearing the imp mask at a glance. With a pointed spear, several cavalrymen waved their cavalry swords and rushed towards the ghost-faced man. Faced with this rapid and ruthless attack, even if the ghost-faced man was charged with
High-strength martial arts are still a bit overwhelming. If Zhou Dingshan is elegant, then the person behind Zhou Dingshan is a bit vicious. This person is holding a square-shaped painted halberd and a strong bow on horseback. Isn't it that Shi Senming?
?
With his eyes narrowed, Shi Senming picked up his strong bow and shot an arrow at the ghost-faced man. The arrow was as fast as a meteor. When the ghost-faced man heard the sound of the wind and wanted to dodge, he was too late. The wolf-fang arrow pierced his shoulder. The powerful arrow pierced his shoulder.
With strength, the body of the Ghost-Faced Man was shaken. Those cavalrymen would not let go of this opportunity. They knocked the three-pointed knife out of the Ghost-Faced Man's hand and used the rope to tie up the Ghost-Faced Man and drag him to the ground.
The battle ended quickly. The gangsters who stayed in the town did not receive orders from the Ghost-faced Man and did not dare to burn food. By the time Zhou Dingshan led his troops into Shama Town, it was already too late for these people to burn food.
Tie Mo rode the red dragon horse slowly across the stone bridge. Looking at the ghost-faced man kneeling beside the stone bridge, he sneered lightly, "Take off his mask. I want to see who is so bold."
You dare to stir up trouble on the territory of this governor."
Yue Laosan was the most unwilling to be left alone. He jumped off the horse and rolled up his sleeves to take off the mask of the ghost-faced man. This man looked too ordinary, with a pair of big eyes and a flat nose, and he had a common face. But seeing this man's appearance, Tie Mo still
I couldn't help being surprised. To be precise, not only Tie Mo knew this person, but Sha Diao and Zhou Dingshan also knew this person. His name was Huan Ru, who was currently the head of the Ministry of War and was Wen Tiren's henchman.
I really didn't expect that Wen Tiren was involved in the investigation at the end. Only Zhou Tingru dared to have evil thoughts about Suzhou Prefecture? Not to mention whether he had the courage, even if he messed up Suzhou Prefecture, what good would it do to Wen Tiren, for the sake of Xiu
The salt fields in Zhouzhou and Hangzhou? Gradually, the smile on Tie Mo's face became more and more weird. He raised his eyebrows and did something surprising, "Someone, please untie Huan Ru!"
As soon as the Iron Superintendent said this, Shi Senming almost fell off his horse. General Shi Senming opened his eyes and looked left and right, with a confused look on his face. Is there something wrong with his ears, or is there something wrong with the Superintendent's head?
The corners of Xu Meiling's mouth twitched. She had followed the Iron Governor for many years, but she knew very well the temper of this evil thief. If he made any puzzling decisions, he probably had no good intentions. He waved his hand,
Instructing everyone not to hesitate, he raised his beautiful eyebrows and hummed, "Why don't you quickly untie Master Huan?"
Huan Ru was a little dazed. It was a good thing to be loosened, but Huan Ru felt that it was more frightening than stabbing him in the neck. Damn, they said Tie Mo was scheming and extremely sinister. What was he going to do now?
Why? Regardless of whether Huan Ru wanted to or not, he still got his freedom. After standing up, Huan Ru stood up with some embarrassment and cupped his hands, "Your Majesty, Huan Ru, has seen the governor."
"Hey, Huan Ru, Huan Ru, I got a letter before that the cabinet sent Mr. Huan to Suzhou. I didn't believe it at the time, but it seems it's true. Huan Ru, this time I let you go, too.
It's a face to the cabinet, but you go back and tell Zhou Tingru and those people that no one will allow others to interfere in the affairs of Suzhou Mansion and Xiuzhou. Next time, don't blame me for being unkind. Now...get out of here.
When I regret it, you will have to stay here even if you have ten lives!"
The Iron Governor's expression changed too quickly. His face, which had been full of smile just now, was filled with frost in the blink of an eye. Huan Ru's heart felt like it was exploding. He couldn't understand why the Iron Governor was so sure of this.
The matter has something to do with Mr. Zhou, but this is not the time to think about these things. It is important to save his life. Huan Ru cupped his hands and ran away without looking back. He fled in a panic, as if he had been ravaged by a pack of wolves.
rabbit.
Huan Ru left, and the grain was found. Then Zhou Dingshan personally escorted the grain to Taicang County. It seemed that everything was solved, but the doubts left in everyone's hearts have not been solved. In the evening, the Taicang River quietly
The flow is like a clear water-colored curtain covering the vast land, with willows leaning on each other, a few birds spreading their wings and flying over, Tie Mo leaning on the willows, Xu Meiling touching Governor Tie's head with her left hand, pinching her waist with her right hand,
Her delicate face was full of displeasure, "Supervisor, tell me quickly, when did you get the news? Why didn't I know that this matter was caused by Zhou Tingru?"
"Meiling, please calm down and think about it. In fact, this matter is not complicated at all. Who is Wen Tiren? He is a man who has no profit and cannot afford to be early. He wants to climb up, but Cheng Jiming is stepping on his head.
Can he be willing to accept those people? Wen Tiren is very ambitious, but he is trampled to death. If he doesn't think of other ways, he will never get ahead in his life. Nowadays, the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty seems huge, but in fact it can cause a stir.
There are only a few people involved in the turmoil, Mr. Hou of the Ministry of War, Cheng Jiming of the cabinet, and Zhou Tingru! Wen Tiren has a problem with Cheng Jiming, and he will definitely not work for Cheng Jiming. As for Mr. Hou, that is even more impossible, and the remaining
The only one left is Zhou Tingru, who is equally ambitious."
"Well, what you said makes sense, but why should we let Huan Ru go? Wouldn't it be better to kill Huan Ru and give Zhou Tingru a show of strength?" Xu Meiling is a bold and heroic woman, and she will always have her heart in her heart.
There were not so many twists and turns. Tie Mo chuckled, pulled Xu Meiling into his arms, caressed her shoulders, and whispered, "You, you think about things too simply. Killing Huan Ru will be harmful to us."
There is no benefit at all, but keeping Huan Ru, Huan Ru's mouth can help us do a lot of things. The situation in Jiangnan is very complicated right now, but Zhou Tingru can't cause such a big disturbance. I'm afraid there are still people in Xuanzhou
Someone else must be tossing it. Zhou Tingru reached out to Suzhou Prefecture, and most likely he was taken advantage of. As for me, I didn’t fall out with Zhou Tingru. I used Huan Ru’s mouth to provoke, and sometimes I sat on the mountain and watched the tigers fight.
It's very interesting to see a dog bite a dog in a vat, and it's much less troublesome than doing it ourselves."
Tie Mo's actions were all done after careful consideration. There were troubles in several places in the south of the Yangtze River. It was obviously not possible that Zhou Tingru was the only one responsible for the troubles. Zhou Tingru did not have such great energy. Some people were also smart and did not do anything themselves, but instigated it.
Zhou Tingru came to Suzhou Prefecture to cause trouble. If Zhao Kai succeeded, Suzhou Prefecture would be in chaos, the Jiangnan power that Tie Mo had managed to establish would collapse, and the interests of the Xiuzhou Salt Farm would also be taken away.
If Zhou Tingru fails, he can also succeed in getting Tie Mo to fight Zhou Tingru, which is really a feat. Tie Mo will naturally not be fooled by this kind of evil, so he let Huan Ru go so that he can treat him like a human being.
The Tao also heals the person's body.
The next day, good news came from Taicang. The Taicang rebels surrendered, and the rebels who had been causing trouble in Suzhou Prefecture for nearly a month were appeased. At the same time, Hou Fangyi, Yao Su and others became the most pitiful unlucky ones. Not only were they abandoned by Huan Ru
He said that he was eventually tortured to death by the angry rebels. At the end of August, Suzhou Prefecture returned to calm, while Xuanzhou and other places were still in chaos. However, the chaos in Xuanzhou had nothing to do with Tie Mo. He was not a philanthropist. He only cared about himself.
Suzhou Prefecture.
At the beginning of September, Tie Mo returned with his horse, but at this time, the Zhou mansion was in a state of depression. Zhou Tingru stood at the table with a complicated expression, and a trembling Huan Ru knelt on the ground. Even Wen Tiren stood with his head lowered without saying a word.
