Chapter 208: Huang Shang's Death
The autumn harvest has finally begun.
Even Zhang Zhongwu, who has always been aggressive and led his army to attack Daizhou, has ceased at this time, and the two sides maintained the current front line and formed a stalemate. From the overall perspective, Zhang Zhongwu had the upper hand. At this moment, he had occupied half of Daizhou. Except for the Yanmen Pass area that has not been taken down, other places are already in danger. Yanmen Pass has actually been surrounded by three sides. The arrival of the autumn harvest season has also brought Gao Pian a rare buffering opportunity.
Of course, at this time, Gao Pian was unable to organize a large-scale counterattack. Like Zhang Zhongwu, most of the soldiers under his command had to return home to seize the harvest at this moment. The season was not waiting for anyone. If you miss the window of harvest, a heavy rain would be enough to wipe out all the hard work of the year.
But Shenzhou is now a little chaotic. Even the normal autumn harvest is disrupted.
All of the previous work was presided over by the Chief Secretary Huang Shang, but after Suning returned from Zhenzhou, Huang Shang was arrested. The Huang family has been living in Shenzhou for many years and is a famous wealthy family in Shenzhou. Huang Shang has been the Chief Secretary of Shenzhou for more than ten years and has countless confidants under his command. It is obvious how much impact it has on Shenzhou if he arrested such a person.
Huang Shang's confidants were basically concentrated in a series of positions in people's livelihood. After arresting Huang Shang, these confidants naturally could not be let go. In just over ten days, the prison in Shenzhou was overcrowded.
But with the arrest of these people, the entire bureaucratic system in Shenzhou was completely destroyed, which caused the entire autumn harvest to fall into a state of chaos.
A series of tasks such as harvesting crops, collecting taxes, warehousing, and transporting were all in a mess. The people above were sent to prison, and the people below were at a loss.
But Suning obviously doesn't care about these things. In his opinion, the grain grows in the fields and can be collected if it is a few days later. It doesn't matter if it is transported to Shenzhou City if it is a few days later. As long as the people in Shenzhou are still there, taxes will not be able to escape.
But he could no longer bear Huang Shang.
When he was away, Huang Shang advocated the sending troops to threaten Shi Yi, which made Liu Chenglin defeat Zhu Shou without any worries. In Suning's view, it was a betrayal of him.
Originally, Liu Chenglin had nothing to do with him, but now that Liu Chenglin has become Li Ze's brother-in-law, he naturally becomes his enemy. Such a person was destroyed by Zhu Shou or Shi Yi, which would be his wish. Huang Shang knew his intentions, but he still encouraged the generals of Shenzhou to agree to send troops. How could Suning bear this? Isn't this betrayal?
The city was searching for Huang Shang's accomplices everywhere, but outside the city, it was naturally not peaceful. At this moment, Hu Shier led a thousand soldiers to surround the Huang family's largest manor outside the city, Huangzhuang.
The Huang family is the largest wealthy family in Shenzhou, so they are naturally not so easy to meet. The construction of Huangzhuang is just a fort with a strong military color. The last tribe and armed forces of the Huang family are all here.
Since Suning had no warning before the operation and ordered a move as soon as he came back, the Huang family had no time to prepare. Most of the core forces were arrested in the city. This village was already their last nest.
"Governor Su, our Huang family has always been loyal to you and has no other intentions!" Above the fort, a man in his early thirties was wearing a helmet and armor, and shouting with sadness. He was a brother of Huang Shang.
Hu Shier looked coldly at the other party who was constantly shouting for justice, and did not answer. Suning was not here at all, and the order he gave Hu Shier was to kill him.
"Prepare to attack!" Hu Shier turned his head and ordered.
Seeing the opponent's outfit, Hu Shier knew that it was impossible to surrender, but this small fortress has not been placed in Hu Shier's eyes. More importantly, there is not enough power to guard this fortress.
The sound of war drums sounded, and dozens of soldiers dragged several bowls of bumping into the city gate and advanced towards the fort. Behind them, the soldiers lined up in neat formations, with spears in front and archers behind, and pushed forward steadily.
"Shoot the arrow!" The other party's desperate and hoarse roar came from the dock.
The shouts of killing suddenly started.
An hour later, Hu Shier stood at the highest point of the fort, and his thousand soldiers had already rushed into Huangzhuang. The entire Huangzhuang had fallen into chaos.
In fact, Hu Shier's mind is also a little confused now.
He had always maintained a secret contact with Gongsun Changming. Gongsun Changming invisibly reminded him that in Shenzhou, there should be chess pieces arranged by Li Anguo, but he didn't know who it was.
Is it Huang Shang?
There was a moment when Hu Shier wanted to rescue Huang Shang and then work together to make up Suning's calculations. If Huang Shang's help was helping, it would not be impossible. But this thought just flashed through his mind.
The risk of this matter is too great.
It was the seventh day since the attack on Huang, and this was also the last nest of Huang, but Zhenzhou kept silent, which made Hu Shier not only confused, but seemed that Huang Shang was not that person, otherwise Zhenzhou would not have said nothing.
But no matter from which perspective, Huang Shang should be the most suitable person. If it weren't for him, who would it be?
Hu Shier felt that his brain was not enough.
In fact, he really has a chance to kill Suning now.
Of course, it's just thinking about it. Hu Shier has grown too much with Hu Shier who had just left Wuyi. And his many exchanges with Gongsun Changming also made Hu Shier understand that killing Suning like this is not the wisest choice, because this will add even greater difficulties to the matter of the young master's merger and becoming a virtue.
If Suning is not a problem, if he really wants to do this, then he will be revealed to be a young master, so the matter will be very big. The old subordinates of Li from Zhenzhou and Zhaozhou will definitely be suspected of the young master. At this time, if the young master wants to take over Chengde, it will be extremely difficult. You can't kill all these people. But if these people are really killed, will Chengde still exist?
What the young master wants is a complete and prosperous virtue.
Then Suning can only let himself do things that are angry and resentful, and he can destroy it.
This may be the common idea between the young master and the governor.
But Hu Shier couldn't figure out what kind of layout it was. This made him feel a little angry that he was not smart enough.
"Captain, the cleaning is complete." An officer ran all the way to the top of the fort and reported to Hu Shier with his fists. "All the food and property have been cleaned up."
Hu Shier nodded: "Food and money are all needed by the governor. It's not a big deal for brothers to make some money, but don't go too far. Do you understand? Look at your arms, you can't even put it in your arms, right?"
The officer smiled awkwardly: "The captain is polite."
Hu Shier waved his hand: "Go down and do things, escort the sorted things to Shenzhou City. As for the corpses, collect them together and burn them together!"
When thick smoke came out of Huangzhuang, Hu Shier had already taken his troops and escorted a hundred carriages, returning to Shenzhou City in a mighty way.
Suning walked into a separate room at the deepest part of the prison. With a bang, the iron door opened, and Huang Shang, who was sitting on the haystack with disheveled hair, appeared in front of Suning.
He reached out and lifted up his long hair covering his face. Huang Shang looked up at Suning, his eyes showing a sad look and said, "Suning, are my tribe members almost dead now?"
Suning sneered and said, "You know yourself, Huang Shang, this is the end of betraying me."
Huang Shangzhi looked at Suning in a daze, with despair, madness, and unwillingness in his eyes, "Suning, are you here to kill me?"
"For the sake of your years of getting along with each other, and for your hard work over the past ten years, I'll send you my way out for yourself so that you won't be humiliated by the little officials." Suning pulled out his knife, threw it in front of Huang Shang with a bang.
Huang Shang stared at the knife for a while, and suddenly burst into laughter, laughing so hard that he fell back and forth, and tears flowed through his tears.
"Do you want to pretend to be crazy? Even if you are really crazy, I will kill you with one knife." Suning said sarcastically: "You are also a person with identity, so it's better to be more refreshed, so you and I can save trouble."
Huang Shang shook his head, reached out to pick up the knife, tried the blade with his hand, looked up at Suning and said, "My Huang clan no longer exists. What's the point of living alone? I just thought it was ridiculous. My Huang clan was destroyed not because of my betrayal, but because of my loyalty to the Lord. It's ridiculous, it's ridiculous."
"At this time, do you still want to argue?" Suning was a little impatient.
Huang Shang stood up with a knife, looked at Suning, and said, "Suning, the truth of many things is different from what you see and think. Those who seem to be good to you may not be really good to you. Those who seem to have harmed your interests are truly considering you and thinking about you in the long run. Those who flatter you and obey your words, or those who will send you to hell in the future."
"It's time now, and you still don't forget to sow discord?" Suning said sarcastically.
Huang Shang smiled miserably: "Suning, you are also a pitiful person. Now, I finally figured it out and saw it clearly. Finally, I would like to advise you. The best way to protect your Su clan is to bow to Jieshuai's arrangements. Otherwise, your Su clan will probably meet my Huang clan in the near future."
