April 15th, at dusk.
Liu Yan rode out on horseback, and Miao Shao led a battalion of two hundred guards to guard and protect him, as well as a thousand gunmen equipped with bayonets to accompany him for protection. The large group passed through the market and came to the outside of the mansion of Zhu Shuxiao, the general of the auxiliary state.
Zhu Shuxie, Gao Yingming and others were already waiting outside the door. When they saw the army accompanying Liu Yan, their faces froze, but their smiles soon returned.
Zhu Shu Xing raised his hands and said: "Haha, we will welcome the governor to the banquet."
Liu Yan smiled faintly and said, "I'm grateful for the hospitality of the general of the country."
"Haha, the governor defeated the bandits and became our reborn parents. This is what we deserve."
Gao Yingming on the side said at this time: "Why didn't the governor come with his wife and young master?"
Liu Yan glanced at Gao Yingming and said playfully: "It's not convenient for them to come to the banquet today. Let's just enjoy it!"
"Yes, that's what the Governor said."
Later, Liu Yan, accompanied by Miao Shao and two hundred night guards, entered the Fuguo General's Mansion, where a thousand gunmen were waiting outside.
When Zhu Shuxie, Gao Yingming and others saw that Liu Yan had brought so many soldiers and horses, they felt a little upset.
So Zhu Shuxi stepped forward and said with a smile: "Master Governor, the space in my house is small. Can I let the soldiers wait outside?"
Liu Yan walked inside and said, "It doesn't matter. The soldiers under my command are not so squeamish. Just wait in the yard."
Seeing this, Zhu Shuxiao had no choice but to stop talking and lead the way.
The banquet was held in the flower hall. Although there was only one table, the dishes were very luxurious. There were fish lips, bird's nests, roasted venison, and wild geese in sauce. After Liu Yan saw it, he said with a smile
Said: "General Fuguo is such a good eater. I have never tasted so many delicacies."
"Haha, the governor is joking. I only have this ability, how can I compare to the governor?"
Liu Yan looked at a few people and said, "Everyone is here, let's take a seat."
"Yes, take your seat, take your seat."
Liu Yan sat directly on the main seat, with Zhu Shuxiao on the left, Gao Yingming on the right, followed by Liu Tongpan, Xu Dianjiu, Cong Qianhu, Zhao Qianhu, and Zhang Baihu and Li Baihu. Near the door.
Miao Shao, on the other hand, reported at the door: "I will go to the front yard to see the soldiers who are guarding the night, so as not to disturb the family of General Fu Guo."
Liu Yan waved Miao Shao to leave. Zhu Shuxiao and Gao Yingming breathed a sigh of relief when they saw this.
At this time, Zhang Baihu took the initiative to pour wine for a few people, and then Zhu Shu said conscientiously: "Today we are hosting a banquet for the governor. I hope that the young master will be a good man and become a pillar of the country. Come, let's raise a toast together! "
Everyone raised their glasses, and Liu Yan also raised their glasses and said, "I am young, so I am not worthy of your trust. However, I have a message for you to drink today. You might as well listen to it."
Everyone was surprised and looked at Liu Yan.
Zhu Shuxia also slowly put down his wine glass and said with a smile: "If you have anything to say, Governor, please say it. I am all ears."
At the same time, Zhu Shuxiao poked Liu Tongpuan under the table with his right hand. Liu Tongpuan immediately understood and winked at Zhang Baihu and Li Baihu who were sitting at the door.
The two of them stood up with a smile. Li Baihu clasped his fists and said, "Sit down for a moment, the Governor. The two of us will go and order the dishes. General Fuguo said that there are also sea cucumbers and river delicacies. The Governor will be in a good mood soon."
"
Liu Yan laughed loudly and said, "You two sit down and listen to what I have to say first."
Zhang Baihu and Li Baihu looked at each other and had to sit down for the time being.
Liu Yan glanced at everyone, and then said in a cold voice: "This governor is a flag officer. He has gone through many bloody storms along the way, and he is used to all kinds of intrigues. Speaking of this Hongmen Banquet, this governor has also hosted, The Hongmen Banquet you organized today was a little too hasty. Next time if you are lucky enough to host a Hongmen Banquet for others, you must remember these four words: keep your mouth shut!"
"ah!"
"Do it!"
When everyone saw that Liu Yan had seen through, they immediately screamed. Zhang Baihu and Li Baihu immediately turned around and ran out, preparing to call for help.
Gao Yingming, Liu Tongpuan and Xu Dianjiu retreated together to the corner of the room, looking at Liu Yan with fearful expressions.
Zhu Shuxian also stood aside with a ferocious expression. Because he was so nervous, the wine glass in his hand was crushed, causing blood to flow from his left hand.
Cong Qianhu and Zhao Qianhu rushed towards Liu Yan, trying to capture Liu Yan directly.
Liu Yan roared, stood up and retreated at the same time, first dodging Cong Qianhu's pounce, and then punched Zhao Qianhu in the chest. Everyone even heard the sound of bones breaking, and Zhao Qianhu directly He screamed and flew backwards, falling unconscious after landing.
Then Liu Yan kicked Cong Qianhu in the abdomen, and kicked Cong Qianhu so hard that he curled up. Big beads of sweat fell, and his face turned the color of pig liver.
"die!"
Liu Yan shouted loudly and slashed Cong Qianhu's neck with his knife. There was only a click sound, and Cong Qianhu's neck moved with a strange movement.
The angle was broken, and under the horrified eyes of Zhu Shuxian, Gao Yingming and others, he fell to the ground and made no sound again.
Zhu Shuxie and Gao Yingming did not expect Liu Yan to be so brave and were so frightened that they fled away. However, Liu Tongpuan and Xu Dianjiu ran first and rushed out.
Suddenly, there was a sound of armor, and Zhu Shuxiao, Gao Yingming and others escaped from the house. They saw Miao Shao leading two hundred night guards and guards into the backyard, and a large group of gunmen rushed everywhere, starting Get people in the general's mansion of the auxiliary country.
"What's going on? Where are those dead soldiers!"
Zhu Shuxian roared in despair, while Gao Yingming collapsed on the ground, looking around with tears in his eyes. It was not until two gunmen came over to hold him down that he burst out crying.
"Master Governor, have mercy on me!"
At this time, Liu Yan came out and said in a cold voice: "Do you think you can take down this governor with just a Hongmen Banquet? Do you think that a mere two hundred makeshift servants can stop the governor's more than a thousand elite new troops?"
"This governor can only tell you: The strategy is very good, but I am very disappointed at first! There are only two hundred people, but they did not arrange anyone to guard the door or deploy people around the room. Instead, they arranged all the people in the front yard. We want to be the first to Capture the governor's two hundred nights without taking any guards? At this moment, the governor really wants to ask: What did you grow up on, to be so stupid!"
Zhu Shuxie, Gao Yingming and others, with pale faces, were tied together with Liu Tongpuan and Xu Dianjiu like pigs.
The corpses of Zhang Baihu and Li Baihu were also carried over. Both of them were covered with bloody holes from being beaten by bird cannons. They were placed in front of several people bloody, which made everyone shout loudly.
yelled.
Zhu Shuxian, who was still very tough at first, was screaming and kicking his legs, trying to move his body backwards and away from the two corpses.
When Liu Yan saw the embarrassment of several people, he had no thoughts at this time and said to Miao Shao: "How many of those servants are there?"
"One hundred and seventy-eight people have been captured."
"Together with these few, take them all outside the south of the city."
"yes!"
When Gao Yingming heard this, he immediately shouted: "Excuse me, please spare my life. I was forced to do so. It was Zhu Shuji who forced me to do so as a relative of the emperor. I was forced to have no choice but to do so!"
The other people also shouted, and they all passed the responsibility to Zhu Shuxian.
Zhu Shuxia gritted his teeth and looked at Liu Yan, hoping that his identity could save his life.
Liu Yan said coldly: "I know that today's meal is about wine without good wine and people without good people. You are all a group of thieves. In my opinion, it will be a disaster if you stay here, so why not go on the road together?" , each other can still have company!”
"Liu Yan!"
Zhu Shuxiao yelled with his eyes widened: "I am the general of the auxiliary country, a descendant of King De, and the nephew of the current emperor. If you kill me, it will be rebellion against the imperial court, and it will be a capital crime for everyone to be executed!"
Miao Shao on the side stepped forward and slapped Zhu Shuxie so hard that Zhu Shuxie's face was covered with blood and two of his front teeth fell out. The pain was so painful that Zhu Shuxie fell to the ground on his back, groaning. groaned.
Liu Yan said: "I will kill you as easily as I kill a chicken! A mere general of the auxiliary country is just greedy for the merit of reincarnation, and he dares to make irresponsible remarks to this governor!"
After saying that, Liu Yan walked away, and Miao Shao ordered a group of soldiers to wait for him with Zhu Shuxing.
More than a hundred prisoners went to the south of the city.
Half an hour later, Liu Yan brought Governor Yan Jizu, Jinan Magistrate Zhao Caiming, Dewang Guard Commander Tan Mingdao, and a group of civil servants and military generals to the Nancheng Tower.
At this time, everyone already knew what Zhu Shuxie, Gao Yingming and others had done. While they angrily denounced the evil deeds of several people, they were also secretly glad that they were not involved.
Tan Mingdao's expression was even more complicated. After Liu Yan came out of the Fuguo General's Mansion, he went directly to Prince De's Mansion and reported all the things that Zhu Shuxian had done to Prince De, Zhu Youshu. Zhu Youshu was so angry that he yelled and cursed. It was proved that he was completely ignorant and immediately expressed his intention to kill or behead him. Liu Yan could make the decision on his own, and Zhu Youshu from the court would help to prove it.
At this time, Tan Mingdao sighed slightly and thought to himself: "Liu Yan is so powerful that even His Royal Highness King De and Mr. Hongge in the court have to avoid his edge. What do you think of these pieces of information? He still has the courage to kill people. Do you have that strength? Now you really deserve to die!"
Miao Shao strode up to the city tower, clasped his fists and said, "To inform the governor, the criminals outside the city have been certified and can be executed!"
Yan Jizu, Zhao Caiming and others looked at Liu Yan one after another, and Liu Yan looked cold and said lightly: "Kill!"
"Got the order!"
Miao Shao immediately pulled out his saber and slashed at the outside of the city.
The soldiers of the Guards Battalion outside the city immediately received the order, and the gunners who had been prepared opened fire at the same time. In a burst of roar, more than 170 people, including Zhu Shuxie and Gao Yingming, were killed on the spot.
Yan Jizu, Zhao Caiming, Tan Mingdao and others were all trembling with fear when they saw this. Hundreds and dozens of people were gone in the blink of an eye. It was really bloody.
But Liu Yan
Then he said: "Behead them all. The heads will be placed separately in the palace to shock Xiaoxiao!"
"yes!"
Everyone's faces suddenly turned pale, and Zhao Caiming said secretly: "I was really right! Gao Yingming, Gao Yingming, you are so wise, you have to use your head to help the governor get this capital!"
At this time, the soldiers of the guard camp outside the city were beheading people. Liu Yan looked at everyone with a smile on his face and said: "Haha, everyone is here today. I have something to say. The implementation of the new policy is going smoothly now. People everywhere have also benefited. I intend to start rectifying the garrison garrison in various places in Shandong. Do you have any opinions?"
Everyone agreed, and the Thousand and Hundred Households of Jinan Guard, as well as the governor Yan Jizu, expressed their support.
"Ah That's good."
"This town has prepared a banquet at the Governor's Mansion. Please move on. This is to calm your shock."
Everyone had just watched the shooting and beheading, so how could they think about drinking? At this time, everyone was making excuses to go home.
Yan Jizu also smiled and said: "Haha, all your lords are busy with official duties. I appreciate the kindness of the governor. How about another day..."
Liu Yan looked at everyone with a smile, but his eyes were a little cold: "The banquet is ready, and you don't eat, are you not giving face?"
