More than a thousand rebels poured into Hejian Mansion in an orderly and neat pace.
Liu Hui and Jia Mian'er walked side by side at the front, while Zhao Hao and three middle-aged men dressed as servants walked together, talking and laughing, and seemed to be very familiar with them.
Two hours ago, Zhao Hao kept his word and rode through the gate alone. After delivering a letter to the city, he was actually asked to open the city gate of Hejian Mansion, and no one died.
Six to seven hundred men dressed as servants formed a square formation and followed the rebels. Their target was only one: the prefect's Yamen.
"Bo Jian, these more than a thousand warriors actually look like a powerful army," a thin middle-aged servant walking beside Zhao Hao looked at the well-organized rebels and said with a smile, "When the master ordered me to come,
It’s ridiculous that I’m half-convinced as a brother.”
Another middle-aged servant with a round face and a long beard added: "Zhao Bojian is true to his word. Who in Hebei knows this?"
Jia Mian'er turned around in front and sneered: "You bitch Yang Tou, you are not from Hebei."
The middle-aged servant named Yang Tou was not worried and looked at Jia Mian'er with a smile: "Old Jia, I heard that you made a bet with Bo Jian and lost to the host?"
Jia Mian'er snorted and said nothing. However, several of his generals stared at Zhao Hao with injustice on their faces, wishing to chop this boy into seventeen or eight pieces.
Zhao Hao responded quickly: "If it weren't for the support of Brother Yang, Brother Guan and Brother Ma, how could I dare to enter this Hejian Mansion?"
The thin, middle-aged servant who spoke first patted him on the shoulder: "Bo Jian, as long as you attack the city and seize the territory without committing any offense, will Hebei and Henan not be allowed to have your way? From now on, Brother Guan will also
I have to follow you to make a living."
Liu Hui, who was walking at the front, looked in the direction of the prefect's Yamen and asked in a deep voice: "Guan Si, is it true that Wang Qinian didn't leave?"
The thin middle-aged servant Ding Guansi smiled and said: "Where else can he go?"
"He died as soon as the Hejian City Gate opened. Now the person sitting in the Yamen is just a man waiting to be slaughtered." The third middle-aged servant looked fierce, and his eyebrows kept moving as he spoke.
"What a pity for an honest official."
"What a bastard of honest officials," Jia Mian'er said angrily, "He set up a trap to harm us. If Fengzi hadn't woken him up, all of us would have become ownerless souls right now. I hate honest officials the most in my life!"
The fierce-looking servant joked: "Old Jia, if you die, you will definitely not be unjust."
Jia Mian'er spat: "Ma Wu, a good old man like you, if you hang out with me and others, you will bring your own injustice."
The fierce-looking Ma Wu smiled bitterly and said, "Are you willing to be me?"
Zhao Hao consoled him and said: "Who on both sides of the river knows that Brother Ma has a kind heart. Now that we have joined forces, I wonder if Brother Ma can condescend to take up the post of governor?"
In the military system of the Ming Dynasty, there was no governor. Zhao Hao took the title of governor and was responsible for supervising military discipline and prison matters. Ma Wu was older than a few of them among the bandits in Hebei, so he appointed Lao Ma as the governor.
, no one has anything to say.
Ma Wu pondered for a moment, looked at Liu Hui, saw that he nodded, and then replied: "It is better to obey orders than to be respectful."
While everyone was chatting and joking, they arrived in front of the magistrate's office. Jia Mian'er ordered his men to kick open the ajar door, and just as he was about to rush in, he saw a chair placed behind the door, which was the same one in the magistrate's lobby.
There is a person sitting on the chair, with a mahjong-like figure, neat and clean official uniforms, bird patterns on the chest, official boots under the feet, with a calm expression on his face, neither angry nor alarmed, nor panic nor worry. He is not Mr. Wang Qinian.
, who is it again?
"Dog officer, I'm here to accept my order." Jia Mian'er drew the knife in his hand, stepped forward, and asked the white knife to go in and the red knife to come out!
"I am the court official!" Wang Qinian shouted and glared at Jia Mian'er, "I am entrusted by the emperor to shepherd all the people in the river. Where is Zhao Hao?"
Zhao Hao quickly walked a few steps and stood in front of Jia Mian'er. He cupped his hands and said with a smile, "Student has seen Governor Wang."
Wang Qinian stared at him for a long time and then said: "You are very good, far better than me."
Zhao Hao replied: "Students are just an occasional success. The talent of a prefect is a hundred times better than that of a student. If Mr. Wang was born in the second rank, the heads of students would have been placed at your feet."
Wang Qinian sighed: "I didn't expect my confidant to be a rebel."
Zhao Hao hesitated for a moment, then suddenly said: "Why did the prefect say this? Eunuchs invaded people's fields, causing chaos among the people. We, the Confucian scholars, all responded to your call to bring order to the chaos in order to restore the Ming Dynasty to a bright future. Where did the rebellion come from?"
thief?"
As soon as he said these words, all the thieves present were stunned. Especially Ma Wu, he sighed in his heart: How can a person be so shameless?
Wang Qinian laughed loudly and said, "You want to take Song Jiang as your teacher?"
Zhao Hao clasped his fists: "I hope Mr. Wang will make it happen."
Jia Mian'er said angrily: "You bitch Fengzi, do you want to betray your brothers?"
"You lend me my head to ask for mercy from the Holy One," Wang Qinian said with a smile, "A dying person like me can be used by you. I am really good at making calculations. In my opinion, Song Jiang is not as good as you."
."
Zhao Hao said in a deep voice: "If you comply with the student's wishes, you will be considered loyal to the Holy One. In less than ten years, you will be able to obtain a high profile and be worthy of honor after your death."
Ma Wu said from the side: "Master Wang will not agree to your request."
Wang Qinian looked at this fierce-looking middle-aged man, nodded, and said with a smile: "It seems that there are also wise people among the rebels. What a pity."
Jia Mian'er said angrily: "I'll beg you to chop this dog official to death. He's gibbering so hard that I can't understand even a single sentence."
"You don't understand?" Wang Qinian looked at him with a half-smile, "Then you're still making a fool of yourself in front of me?"
Jia Mian'er had already raised his long knife and was about to cut it down. When he heard this, he said sarcastically: "I suddenly forgot that you are not allowed to eat meat today."
Zhao Hao ordered all the rebels surrounding him to retreat, leaving only Liu Hui and other bandit leaders, and then he slowly said: "Sir, the student will get straight to the point. We and I will be the forerunners of Yu, heading south to Henan, Nanjing, and Jiangxi.
I beg you, sir, to send word to us, and then everyone can get what they need, life or death depends on heaven!"
Wang Qinian smiled bitterly and said, "Can I still make it out of this Hejian City?"
Zhao Hao shook his head: "Your Excellency is already mortal, but Your Excellency's letter can be sent to the Holy Lord. In the next few days, our army will enter Boye, Raoyang and other counties, and go around Shen, Ji, Ding, Qi and other counties.
state……"
"That's enough," Wang Qinian said with a smile, "Next, you will go east to Linzi, Qufu, Tai'an, Rizhao and other places, then go west to Caozhou, Dingtao, detour from Henan to Nanjing, and go up the river to harass Jiangxi and the two lakes.
."
Zhao Hao cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, it's divine calculation."
"The Holy Emperor will send an army to follow you and wait," Wang Qinian said. "If you attack a city, he will take another city until the two sides are at odds with each other. You really dare to think of this method!"
"grown ups……"
Wang Qinian interrupted him: "Zhao Hao, are you bullying the Ming Dynasty?"
Zhao Hao said in a deep voice: "Students don't dare. They just guessed a bit of His Majesty's intentions from the adults' actions."
"How dare you guess God's will," Wang Qinian laughed loudly, "You are indeed a born thief! What about Eunuch Liu, Li Shoufu and the others, can you guess their intentions?"
Zhao Hao shook his head: "If the adults hadn't acted in a hurry and exposed flaws, the students wouldn't even be able to guess what His Majesty meant."
"If I really follow your plan, both of you and I will have made wedding clothes for others in vain," Wang Qinian said leisurely, "Do you know why I died?"
Zhao Hao pondered for a moment and then asked: "Li Shoufu?"
"You guys can be taught!" Wang Qinian glanced at the thieves dressed as servants and said with a smile, "Go back and tell your master that Lao Wang has taken the first step."
After saying that, he stood up, took out a short knife from his arms, sighed, and thrust it back straight into his heart, reaching as deep as the handle.
Zhao Hao did not step forward to stop him, and none of the bandit leaders moved. It was not until Wang Qinian's body fell to the ground that Liu Hui let out a long sigh.
"This matter has nothing to do with us, Master." Ma Wu said, but despite his words, he pressed his hand on the handle of the knife at his waist.
Zhao Hao quickly stood in front of Liu Hui and Ma Wu and said in a deep voice: "This is Wang Qinian's cruel trick. He used his life as a bait to provoke us. You must not fall into the trap."
Jia Mian'er also put her hand on the handle of the knife and sneered: "How do you know that this dog officer is telling lies?"
Zhao Hao said angrily: "Old Jia, who gave you the information about the officers and soldiers?"
Jia Mian'er replied tit for tat: "After you left Wen'an City that day, we received the message from Zhao Xiu, and it was like waking up from a dream. Yes, it really woke us up and let the thirty-six families conspire against Wen'an.
The letter was sent by Yang Tou, but who in Jinghe Town concealed the whereabouts of the gang of teenagers from the martial arts academy? Can't I, the old man, see the good show of two peaches killing three soldiers?
"The story of the Autumn Period, Gongsun Jie, Tian Kaijiang, and Guyezi were three people who had great achievements and shocked the master, but they were killed by Yanzi with just two peaches.
The big civil servants in the court had the same idea: throw out Wen'an and Hejian, get rid of Wang Qinian, the rebels and the student army from the martial arts academy, and uproot the forces that Zhu Shou had deployed south of the capital!
Yang Tou sneered: "Old Jia, your knowledge is really deep in a dog's belly. It would be great to have a peach to give you at the end of your life!"
"That's enough," Ma Wu stopped talking, looked at Liu Hui, and said in a deep voice, "A cooperation would benefit both parties, what do you want?"
When Liu Huizheng was hesitating, Zhao Hao persuaded him: "Brother Liu, Brother Ma is right. The gang of young men from the martial arts academy are still lurking around, just waiting to catch up with me. If it weren't for Brother Ma and the others, let alone Jiangxi, I would be afraid
You can’t even cross the Yudai River outside the city!”
Liu Hui gritted his teeth: "Okay! Continue to join forces."
Jia Mian'er couldn't help but be anxious: "Liu Hui..."
Liu Hui interrupted him: "If we don't agree, we will die now; if we agree, life or death is still uncertain. Guan Si, Yang Tou, Ma Wu, brothers are the ones who are making ugly remarks at the front. Once we enter Henan, we will divide our troops!"
Ma Wu nodded and said: "Sure, but Zhao Bojian also has to divide his troops. You go south, and we and Zhao Bojian go east!"
Zhao Hao smiled bitterly and said: "Brother Ma, this plan of yours is really wonderful."
Ma Wu smiled and said: "Without you as a military advisor, we would not dare to enter this southern Zhili area easily."
