Chapter 11 Traps

Guo Jianwu's eyes lit up and he asked hurriedly: "Can you come out?"

Zhan Hu smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, you'll find out soon."

He whipped the horse and rushed to the entrance of the inn. When he got closer, he suddenly tied the reins. He looked at Ye Xiaotian arrogantly, then got off the horse, tapped his palm gently with the horse whip, and walked forward with a smile, "Who is the postmaster here? I want to move into the inn."

Seeing his grand uniform and elegant clothes, he was not afraid to be negligent. He hurriedly straightened his hat, tightened his apron, held the fried spoon, and said politely: "I am the official secretary here. Who is the one who comes to Ziyang? Why do you have official documents?"

Zhan Hu said: "I am the official, Zhan Hu, the Tushou Mansion of Shiqian Prefecture, Guizhou, and I want to visit the capital and pass by Guidi."

Xiang Yicheng said as soon as he heard this, "That's sorry. This inn is the place where the court ordered officials to stay. You are neither appointed by the court nor traveling back and forth because of the court's official duties. Our inn will not receive it."

Xiang Yicheng said it is true, but in fact, people living in such official inns are definitely not all officials who come and go. They can move in with some connections. When the officials' families go back and forth, people in the inns usually turn a blind eye.

This inn was opened by the imperial court and had no profit. By the late Ming Dynasty, it had become a serious financial burden. However, Xiang Yicheng was obsessed with studying food. His little world was the kitchen, so he didn't care much about these human relationships and worldly affairs.

Moreover, now Ye Xiaotian and his party are justified and he can't even arrange for him to go to the inn. There is no place to arrange Zhan Hu and others. Seeing that his entourage is not inferior to the number of people escorting Ye Xiaotian.

Mu Dong was very displeased and pointed at Ye Xiaotian and others with a horse whip. He said, "What's this? We can't stay there, what about him?"

He said to Yicheng: "He is a chieftain, so he can naturally live!"

Guo Jianwu was furious and said, "It's outrageous. Why can't the chieftain live in the land? What's the difference?"

Xiang Yicheng said with a slight smile: "Isn't this simple? The chieftain is appointed by the imperial decree of the court, and the imperial official appointed by the court! The Tushe is the retainer appointed by the chieftain himself. To tell the difference, it is like this official, which is appointed by the imperial court. The court has to pay my monthly salary, and I am the imperial official. And my wife is hired by the official himself, and I want to pay her monthly rules, but she does not do the court's affairs."

Mu Dong was so angry that he was fainted. He shouted: "What a bullshit metaphor, is I your little wife?"

Xiang Yicheng said seriously: "My wife has already accepted two officials. The first thing is that she is extremely handsome. I don't want such a good look."

Mu Dong poked out his big hand, grabbed his collar, and roared: "Don't let your mother go! Are you trying to find me on purpose?"

These two people were inconsistent with each other. From the beginning, Mu Dong was used to being domineering in his hometown. At this time, he could no longer hold back. However, Xiang Yicheng was not a good temper. He was suddenly grabbed by someone and spitted on his face with a roar. Xiang Yicheng's anger also suddenly rose.

Xiang Yicheng swung the fried spoon and hit Mu Dong hard on the head, shouting: "Get out of here, a foreign local official, dare to go to his official territory!"

The postmen at the door were all locals and had a strong sense of locality. In addition, they were all subordinates of the postmaster, so there was no reason to stand by and watch. They immediately rushed up, and the subordinates of Zhan Hu, Mu Dong and others immediately drew their swords and unsheathed as soon as they saw it.

Mu Dong was dizzy when he was knocked by the fried spoon. He staggered to the side. Guo Jianwu sneered and drew his sword, saying disdainfully: "Just with you native chickens and tiles, I can kill all of you in a moment!"

Xiang Yicheng became very active and said with his neck, "Come on, come on, kill me! My mind is here. If you have the ability, take it. Damn, I don't believe that the court will not rebel you, a killer, and you will be executed."

Ye Xiaotian lazily said to Mr. Pi: "Sir Pi, this is so unreasonable, don't you care?"

Deputy General Pi was watching the fun with a smile. When his own financial boss spoke, it was difficult to disguise his face. So he waved his hand and the soldiers immediately raised their swords and guns and approached, forming a counter-encirclement of Zhan Hu and others.

Deputy General Pi shouted: "I am here, who dares to rebel? No mercy will be killed!"

Xiang Yicheng immediately raised his big spoon and pointed at Guo Jianwu and others: "He! They are going to rebel!"

Zhan Hu quickly stepped forward to persuade Guo Jianwu and Mu Dong, and said to them: "You don't have to argue with others over some trivial matters. Let's follow along just to see if Ye Xiaotian is not going to die well, so why bother to have trouble?"

Zhan Hu said as he looked at the two of them with a secret wink. The two remembered that Zhan Hu had just said that Ye Xiaotian's burial place was in Ziyang, and his anger disappeared. Guo Jianwu waved his hand angrily, and their men did not continue to move forward, avoiding another conflict with Xiang Yicheng and Deputy General Pi.

Zhan Hu sneered at Xiang Yicheng and said, "You said that the inn will not receive the earthen houses, but Zhan has never seen the inns everywhere reject me. If you are a person who is not familiar with human affairs, you will be the innkeeper for the rest of your life."

Xiang Yicheng curled his lips and said, "What is my future? Do you worry about it?"

Zhan Hu snorted coldly and said to Mu Dong and Guo Jianwu: "Let's go, let's find another place to live!" After saying that, he turned around and looked at them. Xiang Yicheng saw them walking away, turned around and looked at Ye Xiaotian and Deputy General Pi, and then smiled and felt very intimate.

Although he was not afraid of local officials from other places, he had a lot of people and had a lot of power. He was going to take action just now. He was going to suffer a loss. Fortunately, Ye Xiaotian and Deputy General Pi came forward and were beaten less. Of course he knew this favor.

Xiang Yicheng walked to Ye Xiaotian and others with a fried spoon and said enthusiastically: "Mr. Ye, Lord Pi, thank you for your help. These local buns are used to showing off their power in their hometown. They really think that they have a few pounds of portions outside. I don't know what is so high and thick!"

Xiang Yicheng despised Zhan Hu, Mu Dong and others, and said to Deputy General Pi: "Mr. Pi, my inn is too small, with more than 300 people, and I can't arrange it alone, let alone so many horses. However, I can find another place for you, which is enough to arrange three hundred people..."

Mr. Pi rubbed his hands and said, "Then the accommodation, the food and money..."

He said to Yicheng: "Of course I will pay! Don't worry. The owner there is very familiar with me, just say hello to him. I will settle the accommodation and food and he will settle the money slowly."

When Deputy Vice President Pi heard that he didn't have to spend a penny, everything would be easy to discuss. He immediately smiled and said, "It's so good, I'm going to the postmaster."

Xiang Hongchen said, "What's the matter? It's my duty, so why thank you? Two adults, please sit in the post office first, have a cup of tea, Xiang changed his clothes and took you there."

Ziyang County is not big. Children can urinate in the south of the city and can flow to the north of the city. It would be nice to have a restaurant in such a small place, so how could it be big? Similarly, there are very few restaurants here, and a two-story building in the most prosperous place in the city. It is the largest restaurant in the county.

This building is called Julien Tower, because Ziyang has been known as Julien Township since ancient times. The oranges produced here are red and red as fire, tender flesh, abundant juice, moderate sweetness and sourness. Since the Tang Dynasty, it has been a court tribute.

Zhan Hu took the whole building and drank with Mu Dong and Guo Jianwu upstairs, and sent people out to the four cities to find a place where they could accommodate so many of them.

After a while, someone rewarded him, but it was not that he found a residence. Instead, he reported to him: "Master Tushe, they left the city and were taken by the chef-like postmaster to the orange orchard in the south of the city."

Zhan Hu slapped the table excitedly when he heard this and laughed loudly: "Hahahaha..., a big thing is done!"

Mu Dong couldn't help but complain: "Brother Hu, what are your plans? You can tell me now. The Cao Zhan and Zhang family are now sharing weal and woe. If there is any secret, you still have to keep it from us."

Zhan Hu heard that Ye Xiaotian finally got into his ambush and was in a good mood. He smiled and explained: "Don't blame me, it's not that Zhan refused to tell me. In fact, Zhan was not sure whether he would definitely have a plan here before. Now of course I can say that I know about you."

Zhan Hu filled Mu Dong and Guo Jianwu with a drink. The three of them had a drink, and Zhan Hu explained to them proudly.

It turned out that after Governor Ye sentenced Ye Xiaotian to the capital to be sentenced by the emperor, Zhan Long Zhan Hu, Zhang Yuhan and Cao Ruiyu gathered together and carefully analyzed the situation that would appear in the future.

In their opinion, the most important thing is of course to completely disintegrate the Woniu Mountain forces. As long as the Woniu Mountain forces can be defeated, defeated, or even incorporated, even if Ye Xiaotian can survive by chance, he will definitely be done.

So the three decided that they must stay in Shiqian and Tongren, and when Ye Xiaotian was away and the Woniuling was headless, they would do anything to solve the problem of Woniu Mountain.

But of course, Ye Xiaotian cannot be let go of this disaster, especially they themselves know that the emperor may severely punish Ye Xiaotian to give the chieftains in Guizhou an explanation, but it is difficult for him to pay his life, and what they want is Ye Xiaotian's death.

So, they sent Zhan Hu out again and told him that no matter what method is used, as long as possible, they would kill Ye Xiaotian halfway, thus eliminating future troubles forever. Of course, they had no way to predict when, where, and when, they were suitable for action, so they did not provide any advice on how to do it, and they all depended on Zhan Hu to adapt to the situation.

Although Deputy Qianmao Pi had only 300 elite troops, his combat power was worth 1,000. He also had strict protection for Ye Xiaotian. Zhan Hu could not find any opportunity to start along the way, but he at least understood one rule, that is, no matter what conditions, this army would protect Ye Xiaotian in close proximity and would never divide his troops.

Under this situation, a vicious plan emerged in Zhan Hu's mind. Since then, every time he traveled, he would arrange for his confidant to go on the road first and inquire about the situation ahead. It was not until Ziyang that he finally found the opportunity.

This county town is very small, and there are no inns and inns that can attract more than 100 people in the city, and even big car shops are not that big. There are no houses for renting large houses inside and outside the city, but there is an orangery in the south of the city.

The owner of this orange orchard is named Zhang Peng. The orange orchard in the Zhang family is responsible for providing tribute oranges to the royal family. It is the autumn harvest season, and the Zhang family has just picked tribute chrysanthemums and is waiting for the court to send people to inspect and receive the transportation.

In order to plant money tangerines, the Zhang family built many sheds. They can move the potted money tangerines into the room when it is cold, and can also be used for hired workers during the picking period. Looking at the entire Ziyang, there is only one place where more than 300 people are accommodated without sleeping in the wild.

After Zhan Hu learned about this news, he knew that his opportunity had come. So he spared no expense to buy five barrels of gunpowder from the underworld. The gunpowder barrel was mixed with a large number of iron nails and broken porcelain pieces.

These five barrels of gunpowder are now buried under the three big houses in the best conditions in the orangery. He wants to blow Ye Xiaotian into pieces and send him back to heaven!
