"Five hundred people?"
Zhao Ping muttered something: "It should be Old General Liu."
"No need to hide."
"Brother Zhixue, please lead some people to greet us."
"yes."
Xia Zhixue took the order and left.
Only one person.
"Mr. Zhao, aren't you afraid that your judgment is wrong?"
Yuan Qing worriedly said: "Let Xia Zhixue go to greet him alone. If something goes wrong, he may never come back?"
"That's what he does, he'll be fine."
Zhao Ping said with a smile.
What do you do?
The monk Yuan Qingzhang was confused.
Is there anyone else who specializes in greeting people?
Can't figure it out.
Anyway, he had already warned him, and if something unexpected happened, Mr. Zhao would not be able to blame him.
Of course Zhao Ping would not explain that Xia Zhixue was doing intelligence work.
Whether it's snooping for information or escaping, he's always the best at it.
The two long legs stepped forward, and the speed was no less than that of the battery car in the previous life.
With him taking the lead, he would be able to report back in time if he encountered an enemy.
And he began to make preparations.
When there is a coup in the capital, no matter whether it is ordinary people, merchants, tenants, etc. who live in the city, they all flee if they can.
So there are a lot of free yards.
Zhao Ping found a nearby yard and hid in it with his people.
Of course, this courtyard is a little further away from Buzhuang to prevent the fire from spreading and burning the new courtyard.
After hiding inside, arrange countermeasures.
Yuan Qing led people to watch outside, while Gao Meng led people to guard the main entrance.
Zhao Ping and Li Hu imprisoned the prisoners in the room together.
Their feet were also tied up, which was considered as insurance.
Two brothers who were trapped in the camp were left in the room to guard them. Anyone who dared to act rashly would be killed directly.
After doing this, Xia Zhixue ran over panting.
"Sir, it is really General Liu. We can relax our vigilance."
Xia Zhixue reported with a smile.
"Why."
Zhao Ping sighed.
This time the plan was discussed with His Majesty.
According to the strategy, after he leaves, reinforcements will enter the city.
Even if they couldn't find the ambush point for a while, they should have arrived long ago.
The results of it?
I have finished fighting here, even Old General Liu has come, but His Majesty still hasn't arrived.
This is using him as a gunman.
The emperor's family cannot talk about emotions, but about real power.
It's true.
It seems that I have to be more careful with His Majesty in the future, as I might be betrayed by him at some point.
Just like this time.
"Sir, it's bad, someone is here again."
At this time, Li Hu said again.
At the same time, he lay down on the ground with his ears close to the ground, listening carefully, and said: "The people this time are coming from the north, about two hundred people."
"It's also running fast. I believe it won't take long to arrive."
"Why is someone here again?"
Xia Zhixue said helplessly: "I'm going to check the situation now."
Without giving Zhao Ping a chance to reply, he hurried out.
call!
Zhao Ping breathed a sigh of relief and secretly sighed: "It should be Your Majesty this time, right?"
It doesn’t matter even if he’s not His Majesty.
Even if it is an enemy, he can handle it himself, not to mention Old General Liu.
Zhao Ping brought the person over and began interrogation.
The first one to mention was Tong Sihai.
Zhao Ping personally untied him, and took the initiative to pour him a cup of tea. He smiled and said, "Butler Tong, I have made you feel wronged."
"Actually, this is also a helpless move on my part."
"There were too many people at that time, and there were many brothers on my side who were lost. If I didn't tie you up, it would be difficult to convince the crowd."
"But now that there are fewer people, I can let you go secretly."
"Really let me go?"
Tong Sihai glanced at Li Hu next to him.
Li Hu smiled innocently.
Like a fool.
Tong Sihai didn't take him seriously.
Asked: "Mr. Zhao, why do you treat me like this?"
"Aren't you afraid that after I run out, I will unite more people to deal with you?"
"It seems that Butler Tong still doesn't believe me."
Zhao Ping smiled bitterly and said: "As the steward of the House of Lords, you should already know what happened in the palace today."
"Although I arrested Mr. Liu, have I ever caused him any injustice?"
"No."
Tong Sihai shook his head.
He did get the message on this.
Of course, the prerequisite for not being wronged was that Mr. Liu gave him a lot of money and wrote an IOU.
Zhao Ping asked again: "Do you know why?"
"Why?"
Tong Sihai followed up and asked.
"Because Liu Wenhao and I have become sworn brothers, I treat him as my biological brother."
Zhao Ping smiled and explained: "Then Master Liu is my uncle and my elder. How can I be rude to my elder?"
"The reason why I tied him up today is to show off to others."
"After all, I hold Shang Fang's sword in my hand, which represents His Majesty. If it really reaches His Majesty's ears, wouldn't I be done with it?"
"Have you met Mr. Liu?"
Tong Sihai was shocked, "Are you still sworn in with him?"
"Didn't that tall and mighty man just say that Quan Zi offended you?"
"Quinzi will definitely obey Master Liu's arrangements. If he offends you, doesn't it mean that Master Liu has also offended you?"
"Can you still be brothers?"
"No fight, no acquaintance."
Zhao Ping said with a smile: "At first I only knew that Master Liu came to our Xiping Village to steal my acacia wine formula. I would definitely go against him."
"But later it was discovered that he was not for that purpose."
"Master Liu, do you have other purposes?"
Tong Sihai was shocked again, "Why didn't I know?"
"It seems that you are not yet a core member of the Liu family. There are many things that Master Liu has not told you."
"But it doesn't matter, I'll tell you."
"Master Liu wants to rebel."
"Silence, silence, Mr. Zhao, stop talking."
Tong Sihai was startled.
He hurriedly looked around and found that Li Hu was the only one here.
No one was eavesdropping outside, so he quietly breathed a sigh of relief, lowered his voice and asked, "Sir, how did you know about this?"
"My sworn brother, Master Liu, told me."
Zhao Ping said proudly: "I came to Beijing this time to assist Mr. Liu in completing this big plan."
"Then why do you want to arrest Mr. Liu?"
"Didn't I tell you? I'm just pretending, everything is just pretending."
Zhao Ping said: "In order to stabilize the others, I can only put Mr. Liu in prison first."
"Don't worry, Mr. Liu will not suffer any injustice."
"I have told the good general guarding the prison to treat Mr. Liu kindly."
"And arresting Mr. Liu was also requested by Mr. Liu himself."
"Why did Mr. Liu do that?"
"It's very simple, to deceive others."
Zhao Ping explained: "Think about it, if I release Mr. Liu alone, what will others think?"
"What will those loyal ministers who are loyal to His Majesty think?"
"I think they will keep a close eye on the Liu family to prevent Mr. Liu from doing anything outrageous."
"But what if we catch them all?"
"Then their target will be on others."
"Master Liu told me to contact you."
"I asked Liu Dingbei to search the Liu Mansion, which was also in compliance with Master Liu's request."
"Liu Dingbei is an old general who holds great power. Only by getting rid of him can we take the next step."
"So when I come back, I gather my cronies and rush to the Liu Mansion immediately."
"Work with you inside and outside to get rid of Liu Dingbei."
"Then you give me the letters of communication between Mr. Liu and other adults, and I will come forward to unite the troops arranged by those adults."
"While everyone's attention is not on us, let's kill them and catch them off guard."
"Then we will release Mr. Liu and let him become the emperor."
"A great plan will work."
"this……"
Tong Sihai was stunned.
He was not a fool and could not be fooled by Zhao Ping's few words.
But what Zhao Ping said was clear and logical.
Like Master Liu's rebellion strategy, kill Liu Dingbei first and then seize power.
There are also correspondences.
besides……
Everything fits in anyway.
In particular, Zhao Ping was the first to receive Mr. Liu's banknote.
He, Zhao Ping, is definitely the only official to collect money so blatantly.
Even if he is said to be a loyal minister, no one will believe it, right?
what to do?
Do you want to promise him?
Tong Sihai also fell into the battle between heaven and man.
