Chapter 1412 Chang’e and Canopy
Chapter 1410: Chang'e and Canopy
The coup launched by Zhu Wen came and went quickly, but it did not end with Zhu Wen's death. This was just the beginning.
There were so many people who followed Zhu Wen in launching the coup, accounting for almost one-third of Qi's military and political affairs.
Previously, Huang Chao had only instigated rebellion against some of the people who controlled the military, and most of the rebellious ones were still in an uncontrolled state.
Even Zhu Wen is dead now, but the rebellions in various places have not ended. For fear of Huang Chao settling accounts in the autumn, eight counties directly rebelled.
Of course, Huang Chao needs to clean up this part of the residue.
As for whether to clean up all the rebels at once?
It is naturally impossible for Huang Chao to do this.
Even Wang Yanzhang and many other famous generals were among the rebels. If all the rebels were to be eliminated, it would be tantamount to cutting off one's limbs for Qi.
Therefore, Huang Chao's attitude towards this rebellion was very tolerant. Except for Zhu Wen, the leader of the thieves, the others were only punished appropriately.
Even Zhu Wen's two sons, Zhu Youwen and Zhu Youzhen, and Huang Chao generously pardoned their crimes, just to appease the rebellious generals.
Under Huang Chao's mild counterinsurgency methods, the trauma caused by Zhu Wen's coup to the entire Qi State was also minimized.
"Don't blame your eldest brother, he is also doing it for your own good. If you brothers still hate in your hearts, then you should all hate me alone."
Looking at the Zhu brothers who were tied into rice dumplings, Huang Chao said softly: "Come here, let them all go."
After Zhu Youwen and Zhu Youzhen looked at each other, Zhu Youwen said angrily: "Huang Chao, don't think we will thank you. You are still our father-killing enemy. If I have the chance, I will definitely go back to avenge my father."
“You will never have this chance again.”
The Zhu brothers' expressions suddenly changed, thinking that Huang Chao regretted and wanted to kill them, but Huang Chao said, "Because I'm going to die."
After saying that, Huang Chao turned and left, while the Zhu brothers all sat slumped on the ground.
If it is true as what Huang Chao said, then wouldn't they even have a chance to take revenge?
As for revenge against Huang Chao's successor, neither brother has thought about it. After all, Zhu Tianpeng is their uncle, and he was not involved in this matter.
At this thought, the eyes of the two brothers couldn't help but be filled with confusion.
The operations to clean up the rebels within the Qi State and arrest the Qin Army's spies are in full swing.
With all the masters of the Xuanming Sect mobilized, they destroyed 90% of Qi's strongholds in one go, inflicting an extremely fatal blow to Jinyiwei.
Hunted by many masters of the Xuanming Sect, the black-dressed guard who had a single line of contact with Zhu Wen escaped into Zhu Tianpeng's mansion without any means of escape.
“Meet Master Meng Po and Master Zhong Kui.”
Shi Yao twisted her slender waist and walked very gracefully, while Zhong Xiaokui walked behind her.
Shi Yao is obviously a pretty chivalrous girl, but everyone in the Xuanming Sect takes advantage of him as Po Meng, which shows how advanced her disguise skills are.
“Where are the people?” Shi Yao asked you.
“I reported to Po Meng that after I chased him here, I lost track of him.”
Shi Yao glanced at the plaque and found out that it was Zhu Tianpeng's residence. He frowned and said, "Are you sure?"
“OK.” “Let’s go in and search.”
With that said, Shi Yao took the lead and prepared to break in, but was stopped by Zhong Xiaokui.
“Wait a minute, this is General Zhu Tianpeng’s residence, and he is the successor chosen by King Qi. Isn’t it bad to break into his residence without King Qi’s order?” Zhong Xiaokui said solemnly.
"It is precisely because General Tianpeng is the successor of King Qi that we have to search for that person to clear the general's name. By the time King Qi's order is passed down, that person will have disappeared long ago."
“That’s...okay.”
Huang Chao was very kind to Zhu Tianpeng. His mansion occupied a large area and had nearly a hundred servants and guards.
The Xuanming Sect wanted to search without permission, and the housekeeper of the Zhu Mansion naturally refused to let them in. Naturally, the exchanges led to quarrels and even a fight.
“Everyone stop it.”
A sound like a silver bell came. Everyone looked towards the sound and saw a woman who looked like a fairy, walking slowly on lotus steps.
"Miss."
The guards and servants of the Zhu Mansion gathered around the woman, as if she was the leader.
The woman walked up to Shi Yao and said softly: "Chang'e of the slave family is the adopted sister of General Zhu Tianpeng. Now that my brother is away at war, everything in the Zhu family is under the control of this little woman. May I ask, sirs? Why did you break into the mansion?"
After Shi Yao and Zhong Xiaokui looked at each other, Shi Yao replied: "Miss Qi Zhen, I am hunting down the Qin Army secret agent. After I chased him to Zhu Mansion, I lost track of him, so I wanted to search the manor."
"What? In that case, please arrest him as soon as possible so that my brother can be innocent."
“Thank you very much, Miss, for understanding the righteousness and helping me search them all. Remember not to damage the valuables in the Zhu Mansion.”
An hour later, the search team returned one after another, but found nothing.
Seeing this, Shi Yao and Zhong Xiaokui had no choice but to say to Chang E with apologetic expressions: "I'm sorry, miss, for disturbing your house. I will investigate clearly next time and conduct a routine search."
After saying that, Shi Yao and Zhong Xiaokui led everyone away directly. Looking at the people's leaving figures, a cold light flashed in Chang'e's eyes.
Zhu Tianpeng's foster sister Chang'e was Chang'e. She was ordered by Jia Xu to lurk beside Zhu Tianpeng, taking the opportunity to instigate conflicts between Zhu Tianpeng and Zhu Wen, in order to force Zhu Wen to rebel.
The reason why Chang'e became Zhu Tianpeng's adopted sister was because she pretended to be her identity at the beginning. In fact, she was Zhu Tianpeng's childhood playmate, and this woman happened to be named Chang Ming'e.
Under the deliberate layout of Jinyiwei, Chang'e, disguised as Chang'e, turned into a miserable woman who was forcibly bought into a brothel. After escaping from the brothel, she was forcibly recaptured. As a result, she 'happened' to meet Zhu Tianpeng who was patrolling the streets. .
Zhu Tianpeng had an upright temperament. After confirming his identity, he didn't think much about it. He immediately redeemed Chang'e and took good care of her. Later, he even recognized Chang'e as his adopted sister, so people in the Zhu family called her miss.
Chang'e's ultimate mission of sneaking into Qi State was to incite Zhu Wen to rebel. Unexpectedly, Huang Chao actually intended to force Zhu Wen to rebel and made all preparations in advance. This also made all Chang'e's plans come to nothing. Qingzhou's Jin Yiwei It also suffered a fatal blow and suffered heavy casualties.
Since joining the Jin Yiwei, Chang'e hid in the dark and stirred up the situation, playing with Yang Jian, Yang Jian, Baiguan, and even Li Shimin between her bones and claws. However, she did not expect that this time she would be defeated miserably at the hands of Huang Chao.
There are hundreds of spies in the Jinyiwei branch in Qingzhou. Now she is probably the only one who has escaped. Even if there are others who have escaped, Chang'e will not be able to trust them as before.
"Should we retreat immediately? Or continue to lurk?" Chang'e couldn't help but hesitate.
