"Don't kill me, don't kill me, I have nothing to do with bandits."
Bepin saw it.
Tonight is not a celebration banquet, but Zhao Ping is using the name of celebration to clean up the forces behind the bandits.
He was involved for no reason.
"You said it doesn't matter if it doesn't matter?"
Zhao Ping sneered, "After you threw the cup, people outside started to riot. This is a typical sign of throwing a cup. Do you dare to say that it has nothing to do with you?"
"I, I, I really just threw the cup when I was angry."
Bepin explained eagerly.
But he also knew that when the evidence was solid, his explanation seemed weak and no one believed it at all.
Even Master Zhou Mu frowned, extremely disappointed with him.
"We didn't break the cup and have nothing to do with the bandits. Mr. Zhao, please let us go."
Right Prime Minister Fang Lei Zheng, Minister of Rites Wen Tiansheng, Minister of Punishments Cao Kui, and Minister of Works Bai Chigan all expressed their opinions.
"I said before, no one can leave this room without my permission."
Zhao Ping said indifferently.
"What are you still doing with weapons?"
Zhao Ping shouted coldly at the people outside the door who were spreading rumors and causing trouble: "Didn't you see that your superior officer has been captured?"
"Hurry up and put down your weapons and surrender. I will spare your life."
"Otherwise, he will be executed on the spot for colluding with bandits."
"Hahaha."
However, Guo Quanhan laughed loudly, "Zhao Ping, do you really think you will win if you catch us?"
"oh?"
Zhao Ping asked in surprise: "Could it be that you have prepared a back-up plan?"
"Are they those archers lurking on the roof?"
"What?"
Guo Quanhan was shocked and looked at Zhao Ping as if he were a ghost, "You, you, how do you know?"
"If you don't want others to know, you have to do nothing unless you do it yourself."
Zhao Ping said indifferently: "Those archers were captured by the troops of the command department before they arrived at the state capital."
"If nothing else happens, they should all be guests in the military camp now."
"Command Department?"
Guo Quanhan said in disbelief: "Impossible."
"The troops and horses of the command department will only be dispatched after receiving the emperor's order. If others are mobilized easily, it will be a capital crime."
"Mu Shangwu, as the commander of Qingzhou's command department, you dare to mobilize soldiers without permission. Aren't you afraid of being confiscated and executed?"
"Why."
Mu Shangwu sighed, "It is precisely because of people like you that our generals' status has been lowered and we are called vulgar and reckless men."
"What happened to the general?"
"Do you only know how to fight and kill? Can't you just calm down and read a book?"
"Just like me, I know that I will be outside and I will not accept your orders."
"You actually want to take away my position. I have to study for another ten or eight years."
"And I'm not deploying troops privately."
"You should know that an imperial decree has been passed down from above, requiring all states and counties to suppress bandits."
"I sent troops to suppress bandits."
"Your Majesty will only reward me when he learns the truth. How could he punish me?"
"You guys just like to use force, why don't you use your brains more?"
Although he said that, Mu Shangwu didn't do that.
While Guo Quanhan was in a daze, he suddenly stepped forward and grabbed the other person's hair, pulled him down, and then raised his legs and knees.
boom!
His knee hit Guo Quanhan's face.
Zhao Ping could hear the sound of bones breaking.
Mu Shangwu had no intention of letting go of Guo Quanhan. He grabbed his hair and lifted his head up.
The nose, mouth, and eyes were all bleeding.
Mu Shangwu raised his other hand and slapped him with his bow from left to right.
Bang bang bang bang!
The beating made Guo Quanhan dizzy.
The last kick was to his lower abdomen.
boom!
Guo Quanhan was kicked away like a ball.
He fell to the ground, curled up into a shrimp shape, covering his crotch, wailing in pain.
hiss!
Everyone present gasped.
It's so cruel.
However, it's quite refreshing.
Zhao Ping nodded in agreement and learned.
No wonder he became the Commander-in-Chief of Soldiers and Horses. He really used his precision to the extreme in his actions.
Mu Shangwu did not stop, and walked to Shi Dachen.
Following the same method, Shi Daquan's bad roots were eliminated.
Then he walked towards Bepin.
"I really didn't expect that your majestic Zuo Prime Minister of Qingzhou, who holds a high position, would do such a dirty thing."
"Bepin, you disappoint me so much."
"I, I didn't."
Beiping vehemently retorted, "I really didn't collude with the bandits. Commander, you must believe me."
"snort!"
Mu Shangwu just snorted coldly and did not express his position.
But his hand already grasping Bepin's hair meant everything.
Beiping persuaded Mu Shangwu to ask Chen Xinghe for help, "Master Zhou Mu, we have been two colleagues for so many years. You should know what I am like. I don't even dare to kill a chicken, so how can I collude with bandits?" Woolen cloth?"
"No, the bandit ran away."
Just when Chen Xinghe was hesitating whether to plead for Beiping, an exclamation came from outside.
Everyone looked over and saw the bandits rushing out in a swarm.
But his arms were tied behind his back, and his running posture was a bit unsightly.
"Grandma's legs."
"You've already entered the Prefectural Shepherd's Mansion, and you're still thinking of escaping. Who gave you the courage?"
Mu Shangwu said angrily, grabbing Beiping's hair and throwing him away.
At the same time, an extra horn appeared in his hand.
It's a horn.
Mu Shangwu blew the horn, and someone immediately responded outside.
Following everyone, they saw that the bandits who had escaped retreated again, huddled in the corner, very peaceful.
Zhao Ping's eyes lit up.
Not bad, he actually knows how to use the horn to convey signals.
It is more convenient than lighting a fire yourself and passing it through smoke.
Why didn't I think of that?
Maybe my thinking is too advanced. I have always wanted to make a signal flare, but that thing requires gunpowder.
We haven't figured out the gunpowder ratio yet, so we put it on hold.
It seems that we need to learn more from ancient generals in the future, and it is best to iterate equipment based on the times.
Although Liu Mengru is the commander of the Flying Eagle Army, she stopped six years ago.
A lot of knowledge still remains in the past.
For example, she had never heard of the horn horn, so naturally she could not open up ideas for Zhao Ping.
At this moment, another group of people poured in at the gate.
All of them were holding weapons and wearing armor.
At the front are the archers.
After they rushed in, they squatted aside, drew their bows and arrows, and aimed at the people around them.
Followed by the infantry, holding long guns, ready to fight.
The darkness was overwhelming, and countless people were lined up outside the door of the house.
Zhao Ping breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that this Mu Shangwu is not an idiot. He followed his own advice and led his soldiers to quell the chaos.
With them here, the situation is stable.
Tao Tao, Guo Quanhan, and Shi Daquan all collapsed on the ground, their faces ashen.
Even the officers and soldiers came, and their plan was completely ruined.
Upon seeing this, the people in the courtyard who were spreading rumors and causing trouble dropped their weapons one by one and chose to surrender.
Beiping carefully looked at the surrendered men and said in surprise: "Lord Zhou Mu, look at those people, there are no guards from my left prime minister's house. It is obvious that the bandits and I are not the same group. Please tell the command department quickly. Please intercede and let him let me go, right?"
"It's impossible to let you go."
Zhao Ping said indifferently: "I have said before that no one present can leave."
"Lord Zhou Mu, you can send people to take them all into prison now."
"Let's continue celebrating."
"Yes, come here, put all these rebels in prison."
Chen Xinghe came to his senses and began to give orders.
"Why are you escorting me?"
Right Prime Minister Fang Lei Zheng was also being escorted by officers and soldiers. He said with a dark face: "I didn't say anything during the whole process, and the guards involved were not from the Right Prime Minister's Palace. I did not collude with the bandits. If you attack me, you are the following criminal. Believe it or not, I will punish you for a great crime of disrespect?"
The officers and soldiers were really frightened.
Chen Xinghe also hesitated.
Judging from the scene, only Beiping, the Prime Minister of Zuo, Tao Tao, the Minister of Civil Affairs, Guo Quanhan, the Minister of War, and Shi Daquan, the Minister of Hubu, rebelled.
Others were not involved.
Just when he wanted to open his mouth to release Prime Minister You.
Zhao Ping moved.
He raised his foot and kicked Fang Lei to the ground.
He said coldly: "Didn't you hear what I just said?"
"Everyone present will be imprisoned."
"As for whether you are innocent, I believe Mr. Zhou Mu will verify it."
"But before verification, you must be controlled to prevent you from escaping."
"good."
Chen Xinghe agreed with Zhao Ping's statement and ordered everyone present to be detained.
Tao Tao was hit by an arrow in both legs. Chen Xinghe was worried that he would die while working, so he ordered a medical officer to diagnose and treat him.
The state soldiers and officers and soldiers worked together to take all these people away and put them in prison in a short time.
Bodies were also cleared.
The battlefield was clean and tidy.
Mu Shangwu returned to the house. Chen Xinghe held his hand and said gratefully: "Master Mu, thank you for bringing the soldiers in advance. Otherwise, if so many officials rebelled today, I might have died."
"Master Zhou Mu, you thanked the wrong person."
Mu Shangwu smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. Zhao arranged all this. You should thank him."
