Chapter 89 Mutiny
Liu Biao's body stayed on the main hall of the State Shepherd's Mansion. Kuai Yue, Yi Ji, Wen Pin, Liu Bei and other officials and officials from all over the place were already in the hall.No matter how you say it, the fifty guards brought by Zhang Wu couldn't be brought to the mourning hall, they had to find a place in the mansion, so when Zhang Wu was about to reach the main hall, he suddenly stepped forward and grabbed Cai Mao's hand .

Cai Mao was frightened and hurriedly asked: "Zhang Wu, what are you doing!" The guards around Cai Mao also looked at Zhang Wu nervously with weapons in their hands.

Zhang Wu said calmly, "Junshi Cai, I have something unclear, and I want to ask the military division to clear up my doubts."

"What is something you don't know? Let go of your hand first, as long as I know, I will explain it to you." Why is this guy's hand so strong, and he can't break free!

"Some things, I want to ask clearly in front of the gentlemen inside, military commander, please wait a moment." Zhang Wu dragged Cai Mao to the entrance of the main hall while talking, and everyone was puzzled, why did Zhang Wu hold on to Cai Mao? , and Cai Mao's personal guards around saw this, and did not dare to act rashly without Cai Mao's order.

Cai Mao was anxious, and said angrily: "Zhang Wu, let go! What do you want to do?"

Kuai Yue said displeasedly: "Zhang Wu, this place is the mourning hall of the lord, and you will not be allowed to mess around!"

After Zhang Wu stood still, he grabbed Cai Mao with one hand, and said to the people present, "I am not fooling around. In front of the Lord's body, in front of everyone, I have something to ask Junshi Cai."

"If you have anything to say, just let go of your hand first, otherwise I won't be polite!" Cai Mao was anxious.

"Okay, Cai Mao, let me ask you, Lord State Shepherd treats you well, why do you want to rebel and collude with others to kill Lord State Shepherd? Seriously!"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone present was startled, even Liu Qi stopped crying and stared blankly at Zhang Wu and Cai Hao, is this true?
"You...you...you are talking nonsense! The lord died of illness, and you dare to frame me, what is your intention! Someone, quickly take this thief down!" Cai Hao broke free from Zhang Wu's hand while giving orders, the situation was not right , There is a problem with this weapon, quickly solve him!
Following Cai Mao's order, many armored soldiers suddenly poured out from both sides of the hall, and rushed towards Zhang Wu under the leadership of Cai Mao's younger brothers Cai Zhong and Cai He.All the officials on the scene turned pale in panic and retreated one after another. Liu Bei couldn't figure out what was going on and didn't dare to act rashly, while Zhao Yun was guarding Liu Bei all the time.

Zhang Wu shouted loudly: "Where is my brother Xingba?"

Among the fifty attendants standing under the steps outside the hall, one suddenly stepped forward, holding a machete in his hand, and said loudly: "Gan Xingba is here, the thief will die!" After speaking, he rushed towards Cai Mao with his guards Ambush soldiers.

Cai Zhong led people to kill Gan Ning and others first, but he was no match for a super general like Gan Ning. Gan Ning rushed to him and hacked him to death.

Cai He led people to kill Zhang Wu, trying to save Cai Mao. Zhang Wu had already knocked Cai Mao to the ground, stepped on one foot, drew out his knife, beheaded Cai He with one blow, and put the knife on Cai Mao's neck. , Shouted loudly: "Stop!"

The ambush troops arranged by Cai Hao saw that the leader was arrested, and the leaders Cai Zhong and Cai He were killed. Although there were few people on the opposite side, they were all very fierce, so they retreated one after another, not daring to go forward.

Zhang Wu winked at Gan Ning again, Gan Ning understood, and took out a cylinder from his bosom, after lighting it, a red smoke flew straight into the sky, which was a signal to Wei Yan.

Zhang Wu knew that although Cai Mao was under control, the others did not dare to act rashly, but the situation was still very dangerous. After all, they were few in number, so Zhang Wu needed to stabilize the situation quickly.In order to prevent Cai Mao from making any further mistakes, Zhang Wu directly knocked him out, ordered all the soldiers to wait outside the hall, and promised that no one would be held accountable.

Then he said to Liu Qi and Liu Bei: "The prefect, please appease the officials, and Wu promises that there will be no more fighting. And I have evidence to prove that Cai Mao rebelled. Please witness Liu Huangshu and other adults. If what I say is false, I will Apology with death!" Liu Qi's identity and Liu Bei's reputation are still somewhat useful.

Unaware of this beforehand, Liu Qi and all the officials, who were still in shock, felt relieved when they saw that Zhang Wu had rushed all the soldiers outside the hall. Seeing what Zhang Wu said, they had to wait for the time being.

After a while, the sound of the mobilization of the army came from outside. A heroic young general wearing armor and holding a long knife came to salute outside the hall and said, "General, all 5000 people from the Jiangxia Infantry Battalion have entered the city and have taken control of the State Shepherd's Mansion. Please My lord general shows me!"

"Disarm the guards in the original mansion, guard the gate, and no one is allowed to enter or leave!" Zhang Wu ordered.

"The last general takes orders!" Wei Yan went, and the people in the hall began to panic again. Zhang Wu actually brought five thousand Jiangxia soldiers to Xiangyang City. Could it be that he really wanted to plot a rebellion?

Zhang Wu said: "Everyone, don't be afraid. I am not plotting rebellion, and I will not kill innocent people indiscriminately. I have evidence that Cai Mao colluded with others to murder Lord Zhou. Please wait a moment, I will bring witnesses to the scene immediately!"

After a while, a maid from the mansion came to the main hall and was a little panicked when she saw the blood stains at the entrance of the main hall.

Zhang Wu said: "You don't have to be afraid, as long as you tell the truth, I will protect you. Let me ask you, who are you in the house?"

The maid replied: "My lords, this servant is a maid of the State Shepherd's Mansion, and she is a maid beside Mrs. Cai."

"Tell Eldest Young Master and all the other lords how Lord Zhou Mu died, you come from the truth!"

"Report to the eldest son, the state shepherd was poisoned to death by Mrs. Cai in collusion with Cai Mao!"

As soon as this remark came out, all the officials present were terrified. Liu Qi cried out of anger, Liu Cong was so frightened that his face turned ashen, Liu Bei was shocked, and Kuai Yue said: "Don't talk nonsense! What evidence do you have? If you dare to frame the master, I will kill you." Beat him to death with a stick!"

Zhang Wu glanced at Kuai Yue and said: "Mr. Yidu, don't worry. With Uncle Liu Huang and all the adults here, you will be able to tell right from wrong." Then he asked the maid: "Mrs. Cai is the wife of Master Zhou Mu. Murder the state shepherd? If you dare to frame Madam, the consequences will be very serious."

After the maid said a few words, she was not nervous anymore, and said: "The servant once overheard Mrs. Cai and Cai Mao colluding outside the window. Because she was dissatisfied with the state shepherd's desire to pass the throne to the eldest son, she wanted to assassinate the state shepherd to support him. The second son succeeded to the throne. Before the incident happened, Mrs. Cai had secretly entered Master Zhou’s study to check, she poisoned Master Zhou to death that night, and then forged a will to support the second son.”

At this time, Cai Mao had already woken up, and when he heard the maid's words, he cursed angrily: "You poor maid, you are talking nonsense, you dare to frame the master, I will cut off your tongue!"

Zhang Wu kicked Cai Mao again, and Cai Mao's painful body curled up like a prawn. Zhang Wu ordered Cai Mao to be tied up and locked up in a hut.
