On the way to greet the envoy, Zhou Shaohuan was also in a state of great difficulty. He didn't know what Shang Yi was trying to send envoys from Qingzhou to Jinan, whether to arrest him or kill him in Jinan. If it was really Come and catch or kill yourself, how should you deal with it? Should you surrender or fight hard and raise the flag to rebel immediately? In fact, Zhou Shaohuan himself did not think about it. At the same time, Zhou Shaohuan also thought that his father and father-in-law in Qingzhou did not know. How are they doing now? Have they been arrested by Shang Yi or killed?
Zhou Shaohuan was indeed a little moved by Zhou Yuanhui's words just now, but he was only a little moved, and he was still quite far from his real action.
Although Zhou Shaohuan is not an indecisive person, over the years, Zhou Shaohuan has not only been loyal to Shang Yi, but also regards Shang Yi as his teacher in his heart. In his actions, he also imitates Shang Yi's style everywhere. Therefore, I won the nickname "Little Supervisor". It can be said that in Zhou Shaohuan's heart, he never had the idea of rebelling against Shang Yi. Although he now knows that rebellion is his only feasible way, he must take action. Determined that Zhou Shaohuan could not leap over the obstacle here in a short period of time.
Zhou Yuanhui followed Zhou Shaohuan, his eyes rolling around, and he was thinking in his heart, what was the purpose of sending an envoy to Jinan at this time, and how should he deal with it? I could see just now that he did Zhou Shaohuan was moved by his words. As long as he added a few more efforts, it would be difficult to turn Zhou Shaohuan's heart into action. But at this moment of Guanjian, will the envoy sent from Qingzhou make Zhou Shaohuan move again? After all, After playing in Zhou Shaohuan, he did not make up his best decision.
While walking, Zhou Yuanhui also thought in his mind that if he came to capture or kill Zhou Shaohuan, it would be easy to deal with it. Even if Zhou Shaohuan planned to surrender, he could not let the envoy succeed. He could incite soldiers to stop the trouble, but if the envoy was transferred Zhou Shaohuan to go. Qingzhou, why did it mean that Zhou Shaohuan is not guilty, then he was a little embarrassed because he had no excuses and could only insist that Shang Yi was using a fraud to deceive Zhou Shaohuan to Qingzhou. However, in this way, it would be difficult to incite many people. After all, Usually, Zhou Shaohuan safeguarded Shang Yi's authority quite well. Therefore, although Shang Yi did not come to Shandong many times, Shang Yi still had considerable prestige for the Shandong Military Region.
The two of them came to the military headquarters with their own worries. At this time, the envoy arrived.
The envoy was Li Songchen, and there was also a battalion of troops to protect him. Originally, Zhou Shaohuan had sent the Second Brigade to Qingzhou. As soon as he left the city, he met Li Songchen's group, so the Second Brigade did not set off on his way. Instead, he protected Li Songchen and his party and returned to Jinan City, and sent someone to notify Zhou Shaohuan.
After everyone met, they made a noise. Of course, some people were impatient and could not help asking about Qingzhou. Li Songchen also told him bluntly that although someone attacked the inn, Shang Yi was still safe in the end, and this time he made a special trip for this. When the incident came, the others were relieved when they heard this. Zhou Shaohuan suppressed the uneasiness in his heart and invited Li Songchen and his party to the headquarters.
After entering the headquarters, Li Songchen asked that only the headquarters be left, and that the army-level officers will hold a meeting, and that Shang Yi's latest order to the Shandong Military Region will be announced.
Although Zhou Shaohuan also thought that it might be taking advantage of the meeting to arrest him, Li Songchen's request was not unreasonable, and Zhou Shaohuan had not really made up his mind and had no time to let him think more, but just subconsciously agreed. The members of the Military Region Command were only Tang Zhen, and everyone else was there. At this time, the Fourth Army and the Ninth Army were stationed in Jinan, with a total of 17 people. Zhou Yuanhui was not qualified to attend the meeting, although I was very anxious, but I had no choice but to leave the headquarters and think of other solutions.
After everyone sat down, there were four people who accompanied Li Songchen to attend the meeting, but each of them carried a big hat, covering their heads and faces, making people unable to see clearly.
Everyone present was also a little surprised. Although they were not allowed to bring the adjutant guards to the meeting, Li Songchen was the representative of Shang Yi. It was reasonable to bring a few people to the meeting. Is it necessary to make it so mysterious? Zhou Shaohuan thought But it is, is it difficult to bring the people who arrested me? I deliberately hid my face like this. But now there are only these people in the conference room, and my guards are also locked outside, so I can only leave my fate.
Just then, Li Songchen said: "Everyone, everyone must have heard of what happened in Qingzhou. I think I have heard many rumors, and now I will tell you what happened in Qingzhou in full. Before that, I want everyone to see someone first.”
―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――― At that time, Zhou Yuanhui immediately organized the soldiers and prepared to wait until after arresting Zhou Shaohuan, he would immediately incite the soldiers to make trouble and steal people. It would be better to kill Li Songchen in the chaos. In this way, Zhou Shaohuan would have no way out and would not be able to rebel. .
But after the meeting, Zhou Shaohuan came out with the others and did not look coerced. Zhou Yuanhui lost the reason for causing trouble. However, he also wanted to know the content of the meeting, so he comforted the soldiers a little and rushed to Zhou Shaohuan immediately The mansion.
After meeting, Zhou Yuanhui immediately said: "Brother, how about it, what did the messenger say?"
Zhou Shaohuan said: "He said that although there is a lot of evidence against me, King Jingbei still believes that I will not rebel, so I went to Qingzhou to clarify to King Jingbei in person, and they also captured some prisoners, so they could let them go with I confront you in front of you.”
Zhou Yuanhui said: "So what should I do if my brother decides?"
Zhou Shaohuan lowered his head and said, "I should live up to what the king believes so much. Therefore, I plan to leave for Qingzhou tomorrow to clarify the facts like the king."
Zhou Yuanhui also shouted in his heart, and he really told himself that he guessed correctly. Shang Yi's trick was indeed very good. Once Zhou Shaohuan really went to Qingzhou, he might be able to figure out the matter clearly, so he could not let him go. Zhou Shaohuan went to Qingzhou. Fortunately, he had already thought of the words and immediately said: "Brother, you have been fooled. Shang Yi is clearly lying to go to Qingzhou."
Zhou Shaohuan was slightly stunned and said, "How can I tell you this?"
Zhou Yuanhui said: "Isn't this obvious? Now you are in Jinan and have tens of thousands of soldiers. If you are arresting you in Jinan, you are afraid that the officers and soldiers will not accept it. Therefore, Shang Yi pretended to believe you and deceived you to Qingzhou, waiting. Once you arrive in Qingzhou, the dragon will be stranded and the tiger will fall into the sun. You can only be slaughtered by others. I am afraid it will be too late to regret it. Don’t think about anything now. Kill the envoy immediately and raise the flag to rebel.”
Zhou Shaohuan thought about it and said, "But what if this is true? What if King Jingbei really trusts me, but I have the trust of him and rebel against him, wouldn't it be unrighteous?
Are you a human?"
Zhou Yuanhui stomped his feet and said, "Brother, you are so easy to trust others. Shang Yi said it well. He said that he believed you, but he was just talking nonsense for vernacular. What do you use as evidence?"
Zhou Shaohuan said: "What evidence do you think King Jingbei needs to provide so that I can trust him?"
Zhou Yuanhui said: "Isn't my uncle in Qingzhou? If Shang Yi really trusts you, why don't I send my uncle to Jinan? Maybe my uncle has been killed by Shang Yi now."
Zhou Shaohuan nodded and said, "What you said makes sense. So according to your statement, if my father is here, can we prove that the king really trusts me?"
Zhou Yuanhui was not stupid either. After hearing what Zhou Shaohuan said, he realized that the atmosphere of this conversation was a little wrong. He didn't seem to be persuading Zhou Shaohuan, but was led by Zhou Shaohuan.
Just when Zhou Yuanhui had not reacted, he saw a figure swaying behind the screen cover, and a person had already turned out and said, "I'm here, you didn't expect it."
Zhou Yuanhui looked up and saw that this person was Zhou Shiqi. In fact, Zhou Shiqi and Zhou Yuanhui had never met directly. However, because Zhou Shiqi is the patriarch of the Zhou family, Zhou Yuanhui of course knew Zhou Shiqi. Now, when Zhou Shiqi suddenly appeared, Zhou Yuanhui was also immediately
He was shocked, and then more than ten soldiers turned out, each holding sharp blades to surrounded Zhou Yuanhui. At this time, Zhou Yuanhui immediately understood in his heart that he had fallen into a trap.
Zhou Shiqi then said, "Shaohuan, is he a disciple of which family?"
Zhou Shaohuan said: "Dad, he is the son of the seventh uncle from the fourth house, and his name is Zhou Yuanhui."
Zhou Shiqi nodded and said, "It turns out it's him, Zhou Yuanhui, Zhou Yuanzhou is your brother!"
Zhou Yuanzhou was the former chief of the Grain Department of the Nanjing Ministry of Agriculture. During the time of purchasing grain, he was short of weight and was greedy for more than 20,000 stones of grain, worth about 300,000 silver dollars. Therefore, he was dereliction of duty by the Ministry of Justice for government officials.
The crime of embezzlement was sentenced to recover all the dirty money, and the rod was hit forty. He was imprisoned in Nanjing for three years and would never be hired after being released from prison. He is still serving his sentence.
Although the Ministry of Justice sentencing impartially, Zhou Yuanzhou's person, Zhou Yuanhui, was not convinced by Zhou Yuanzhou's younger brother, and believed that the Ministry of Justice was instructed by Shang Yi and intended to punish him, so he hated Shang Yi.
As a result, under the temptation of the Demon Sect, he finally rebeled from the Nanjing government and became the intelligence officer lurking in Shandong by the Qing court. This time, in Zi Linglong's plan, he was to play the chess piece next to Zhou Shaohuan and persuade Zhou Shaohuanju.
