Chapter 703 Hongmen Banquet

"Master!"

The call of servants came from outside.

"Wait a moment."

Qu Tutong wiped the sheathed horizontal knife clean, then put the knife into the sheath and hung it on his waist. This was a beautiful horizontal knife, given by the emperor.

Put on the hat on the table and he opened the door.

The servant outside the door bowed, "Master, the guests have arrived."

The guests have arrived, and it is time to end it all. "Go and tell everyone, I'll be here soon."

Although Qutu Mansion in Liaodong City is not as luxurious as the two houses in Xijing and Luoyang City, it also covers a very wide area. When he passed through the corridor, he saw that the moonlight was very good tonight.

In the mansion, the servants stood everywhere with full spirit.

The place for banquets is in the front hall, which has a very large hall and a large yard. It is just now that autumn is coming, and you can drink and enjoy the moon at night.

When passing the gate leading to the front hall, there were several people standing at the door, namely his generals Sang Xian and Yao Junsu, as well as his two sons Qu Tushou and Qu Tuquan.

"Master, you are all ready." Sang Xianhe said to him. He and Yao Junsu were both Qu Tu's old confidants, and were also the Yingyanglang General from Liucheng County earlier. He had never had much contact with Luo Cheng's left five army direct lineage. Most of them were from Guanzhong generals and looked down on Luo Cheng and his subordinates from Shandong.

Although Qu Tutong's ancestors were from Kumoxi, his ancestors had long been to the Central Plains, so they were considered to be the generals of generations.

He said to several people, "I have received great kindness from the country and served the two lords. Your Majesty has very generous favors to me. He betrayed in times of difficulties with the salary of the court. How can he escape the national disaster? Today, you will kill the thief with me!"

Several generals were very moved and clenched their fists and hit their chests together, "I will definitely not let those Shandong people betray them!"

He reached out and patted several people on the shoulders, then explained to his two sons a few more words, and walked into the front yard.

"Marson Qu Tu is here!"

A servant shouted loudly into the hall, and the guests stood up to greet him.

Qu Tutong walked in and saw that not only Feng Deyi and Li Baiyao were coming, but also Hou Mo Chenyi, Wei Zheng, Luo Cunxiao, and Luo Shixin were also here. In addition, Cheng Yaojin, Shan Xiongxin, Huang Junhan, and Zhai Rang were also here. On the other hand, many civil servants in the county, including Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, were also here.

"I'm in my sixties and I didn't want to hold this banquet, but I took this opportunity to gather with everyone."

Fang Xuanling smiled and said, "Mr. Qu Tu is so fit, it's okay to live twenty years old."

Qu Tutong's tone became serious, "Today, most of our civil and military officers from Andongdao will arrive, but Marshal Luo Cheng has disappeared recently."

Luo Cunxiao snorted, "The general has something to do, so he will leave for a while."

Feng Deyi said dissatisfiedly, "As the commander of Jie in Andongdao, Luo Cheng should explain to everyone even if he has something to do. At least, he should temporarily hand over the seal to Deputy Commander Qu Tu for safekeeping. Otherwise, if something urgent is happening, wouldn't it be a mess?"

The observer Li Baiyao asked the fourth brother directly, "Dare you ask the Grand Shou Luo, where did the Grand Shou go? Why haven't you seen anyone for so long?" He stared at the fourth brother, "Why did I hear that Luo Shuai ran to Mo Nan, saying it was a secret Marshal Luo Siye? What an important thing is that he still has to travel thousands of miles to Mo Nan Secret Club?"

The fourth brother was wearing an official robe today, and his beard was just being repaired. "Isn't it Lord Qu Tu's birthday party? Why do I think this is a Hongmen banquet?"

Qu Tutong said, "Luo Cheng is not here, so I, the deputy general, will be left behind in this town for the time being. General Cunxiao, please tell everyone where Luo Shuai went and what happened?"

The fourth brother smiled and stared at Qu Tutong, "What does the deputy coach mean?"

"I just talk about something. There are rumors that Luo Cheng went to the south of the desert to secretly Luo Siye, saying that they were planning to rebel!"

"You rebel if you say you rebel?" Lao Si asked.

Seeing that the fourth brother refused to give up, Qu Tutong glanced over the hall and stopped arguing with him like this, but directly took out the imperial edict.

"This is an edict sent by His Majesty. When the angel read the edict, the envoy of the Pacification and the Envoy of Li Observation were also on the spot."

Fang Xuanling stepped forward to check the imperial edict, "This is indeed an imperial edict issued by the emperor. It contains the jade seal and the signatures and seals of the prime ministers of the three provinces, and there is no fake."

Qu Tutong said to Fang Xuanling, "I would like to ask the prefect Fang to read the decree to everyone."

Fang Xuanling reached out and wanted to open it.

"Let's wait!"

The fourth brother shouted, stopping him.

"But I have a piece here, I want to ask the prefect Fang to read it."

The fourth brother said that, and took out a document from his sleeve.

Du Ruhui on one side took it.

Open, surprised.

"Premier Du, read it to everyone."

"Cen Wenben, the chief secretary of the yamen of the yamen, Yan Shigu, the judge of the yamen of the yamen, reported the report, saying that the yamen of the yamen, Feng Deyi, the yamen of the yamen, Li Baiyao, and the deputy envoy of the yamen of the yamen, accepted bribes from Yuan Taizuo together, colluded with the Yuan family, sold information to them, and communicated with foreigners!"

Feng Deyi was furious.

"Cen Wenben!"

Cen Wenben was the chief secretary of the yamen of the supplication envoy, and was also Feng Deyi's confidant, and his disciple. The Cen family was a gentry of the Southern Dynasty for generations. His grandfather served as the Minister of Personnel of the Southern Liang Dynasty. His father later joined the Sui Dynasty as the Minister of the Yu Ministry. He was framed and imprisoned. Cen Wenben went to Silitai to file an injustice for his father at the age of fourteen. He resigned passionately and earnestly and summoned Mingbian. His father's injustice was revealed, and he was famous.

Feng Deyi was once Yang Su's confidant, and was appreciated by him and married his niece to him. Later, Yang Su died, and he got mixed up with Yu Shiji and became Yu Shiji's confidant.

When Feng Deyi was the Neishisans, Cen Wenben also entered the Neishisan Province and was appreciated by him. Later, Cen took him as his teacher, and he also took this student very much and came to Liaodong as a pacifier, and he specially brought him as the secretary.

Unexpectedly, this proud disciple actually reported that he colluded with the Goguryeo people.

Cen Wenben was in the hall, but he was very calm in the face of Feng Deyi's angry shout.

"I just reported what I know."

The fourth brother smiled and said to Du Ruhui, "Prefect Du, please give this document to Marshal Qu Tu for a review. There is real ironclad evidence on it."

Qu Tutong didn't answer or look at it, but just said coldly, "Do you want to frame us as a thief and take the opportunity to eliminate dissidents? Luo Cunxiao, you finally can't help it?"

He said to Fang Xuanling, "Please ask the prefect of Fang to read the edict immediately. From now on, I will take the emperor's edict to replace the position of Zhongwu Army of Andongdao and arrest Luo Chengluo Cunxiao Hou Mo Chen Yi Wei Zheng and others who are conspiring to rebel!"

The fourth brother smiled and took two steps forward, snatching the edict from Fang Xuanling, "I colluded with foreign thieves and wanted to steal military power, don't think so!"

"Luo Laosi, don't be arrogant. Come and block the house and take down these arrogant rebel generals!"

Sang Xianhe and Yao Junsu rushed in with spears and surrounded the people in the hall.

"Catch them!" Feng Deyi shouted.

Sang Xianhe pulled out the sword, but turned around and inserted it into Yao Junsu's waist and ribs. Yao Junsu groaned, and the weapon in his hand slid from his soft and weak hands and fell to the ground.

This sudden change shocked everyone in the hall.

Just as Sang Xianhe took action, dozens of people from the group of soldiers behind him stabbed their spears at the people around him, and in an instant, more than a dozen people fell down.

Sang Xianhe stepped forward and his sword hit the old boss's chest.

"Why?" Qu Tutong asked.
