,!
Everything was arranged properly, and Chen Qianhu knew that it would be difficult for him to leave this room.
What's more important is that he didn't expect to do it tonight and didn't give him any preparation time.
"Chen Qianhu, the ones on duty at the North City Gate tonight are your troops from Qianhu Station, so it's easy for others to say that there must be no accidents on your side." Commander Huang said.
Chen Qianhu's eyes lit up when he heard this.
Then I remembered that he was the guard stationed at the North City Gate tonight. If the rebels outside the city wanted to enter the city smoothly, they needed the cooperation of his men.
"Commander, don't worry, nothing will happen to you with Chen Qianhu here." Cheng Tongzhi said on behalf of Chen Qianhu.
However, Chen Qianhu didn't seem to appreciate it. Instead, he said with a heavy face: "The commander's worries are somewhat reasonable. I think it's better to ask my subordinates to go back and make arrangements, and call in all the officials and trial households below to give them some advice. Fan, make sure your actions at night are flawless."
Uh-huh!
Everyone's eyes fell on Chen Qianhu at the same time.
Chen Qianhu, who was the center of attention, looked slightly nervous. His fingers subconsciously touched the bridge of his nose and rubbed it back and forth a few times.
"Do you have to go back and make arrangements yourself?" Commander Huang frowned.
Chen Qianhu replied: "Tonight's matter is too important. I really don't feel relieved if my subordinates don't personally arrange it. However, the commander can rest assured. There will be no problems at all with my subordinates guarding the North City Gate."
"Is there no problem inside the city, or is there no problem outside the city?" Commander Huang suddenly asked.
Hearing this, Chen Qianhu was stunned for a moment and said in confusion: "My subordinates don't quite understand what the commander said."
"Originally, you stayed here honestly, and I could pretend not to know some things, but you had to leave this room to meet your subordinates." Commander Huang fixed his eyes on Chen Qianhu.
Chen Qianhu showed a trace of nervousness on his face and said hesitantly: "My subordinates don't understand. Maybe there is something that has misunderstood the commander. If the commander does not trust his subordinates, then he can stay in the room and not leave." .”
The right way is to be a thief with a guilty conscience.
He was worried that Commander Huang knew something about him.
"That's it for now, so let's finish it." Commander Huang said, "I'm curious, where did Chen Qianhu go during the day?"
Chen Qianhu broke into cold sweat when he heard this.
Just listen to him stammering: "Go, go to Xianglou. I have to be on duty at night. I can only enjoy myself during the day. But as the commander, you also know that this is my fault and I can't change it."
"When did Chen Yongfu and Chen Zongbing start the Xianglou business?" Commander Huang narrowed his eyes and touched the teacup on the table with his palm.
Plop!
Chen Qianhu's knees weakened and he knelt down, pleading: "I realize my mistake. I beg the commander to spare my life. I don't dare to do it anymore."
There were people from the other party inside and outside the door. Being a tough guy, he knew that he couldn't escape at all, so he simply bowed his head and admitted his mistake.
"Should you say it yourself, or should I arrange for someone to do it for you?" Commander Huang picked up the teacup on the table.
Chen Qianhu lowered his head and showed hesitation.
"Tell me, at this point, there is nothing to hide. Everyone knows about your meeting with Chen Yongfu." Cheng Tongzhi said from the side.
"I said." Chen Qianhu took a long breath, raised his head and said, "General Chen knew that our Xuanwu Guards were short of food and grass, so he began to win over me, and wanted to win over more people through my hands. He also blamed his subordinates for being greedy. , believed his lies."
As he spoke, he glanced at everyone present except Commander Huang.
"That's all?" Commander Huang asked again.
Chen Qianhu raised his right hand and swore: "That's all it really is. If there is a lie, my subordinates will die."
"Okay, okay, get up!" Commander Huang raised his right hand to signal Chen Qianhu to get up.
Seeing this, Chen Qianhu knew that the matter was over and stood up with one hand on his knees.
Commander Huang continued: "It's not entirely your fault for doing this. It's because I, the commander, am incompetent and can't get food. I'm the one who feels guilty."
"The commander is not to blame for this matter. If we are really to blame, it is also the people in the magistrate's office who sold all the grain and grass that should be provided to us to make a profit from it." Cheng Tongzhi defended Commander Huang.
Chen Qianhu echoed from the side: "Yes, I don't blame you, the commander. They are all those damn civil servants. Seeing that our Xuanwu Guards were useless, they cut off the army's food and grass."
"So after you knew that Chen Yongfu had food, you took refuge with Chen Yongfu?" Commander Huang said, staring at Chen Qianhu's face.
Chen Qianhu closed his mouth after hearing this.
"Don't worry, I have no intention of pursuing you. After today, Chen Yongfu won't be able to keep it even if he has more food." Commander Huang said in a relaxed tone.
Chen Qianhu nodded repeatedly and said: "Yes, yes, yes, as long as the rebels outside the city enter the city tonight, Chen Yongfu will not be able to take away the food even if he has it. In the end, everyone will take advantage of the rebels."
"Don't keep calling each other rebels. From now on, we will all call them rebels. Remember this?" Commander Huang looked at the crowd.
Cheng Tongzhi said cooperatively: "Yes, we call it the Rebel Army. Everyone should call it the Rebel Army."
Everyone spoke in agreement.
"Chen Qianhu, didn't you say you were going to make arrangements? I thought about it, and it would be safer for you to make arrangements." Commander Huang said to Chen Qianhu.
Chen Qianhu was stunned when he heard this.
He didn't expect that the other party would suddenly let him go.
However, he was worried that this was a test, so he refused: "No, I thought about it and decided to stay here. Even if I don't have any subordinates, there won't be any big problems."
"There must not be the slightest problem tonight, otherwise the lives of everyone here will be in danger." Commander Huang first said the seriousness of the matter, and then added, "So at this time, we must be more cautious and ensure that Nothing goes wrong, Chen Qianhu, you have a heavy responsibility tonight, and I can only rest assured if you personally sit down and keep an eye on me."
When the others saw that the commander really wanted Chen Qianhu to leave, their eyes showed envy.
As long as they can leave, they are not willing to stay in such a room like a prison without fear.
At this time, Cheng Tongzhi said: "Chen Qianhu, why are you still standing there? If the soldiers and horses on duty tonight were not your men, do you think they can let you go? Go quickly, the burden on your shoulders is heavy tonight."
Chen Qianhu was moved when he saw both people saying this.
He really wanted to leave the room, but he was afraid that the commander was deliberately testing him, so he asked again: "Is the subordinate really leaving?"
"Let's go!" Commander Huang nodded, his face very calm.
Chen Qianhu breathed a sigh of relief and said at the same time: "Commander, don't worry. I will keep an eye on my subordinates to ensure that there won't be any accidents tonight."
After saying that, he turned and walked towards the door of the house.
