Tai Pinghou and Bai Yunqing were discussing the enthronement in the flower hall of the back hall. They had just received the news that Luo Ming had returned to the capital, and they felt that this matter could not be delayed any longer. During the time, he went into the imperial city and took the first step to hold Emperor Tianqing hostage, forcing him to abdicate and abdicate, and wrote an edict to support Taiping to ascend the throne.In this way, the 30 troops in the Northwest Army Camp could be legitimately mobilized, and Luo Ming's 3000 troops were nothing to be afraid of.

While they were discussing, they heard wailing sounds from outside, mixed with the sound of smashing things, it was chaotic, and it was hard to hear what was going on for a while.

Taiping Hou immediately turned down, and just about to ask the housekeeper to come in and ask carefully, a person stumbled in from outside the door, and said anxiously: "It's not good! Master Hou, Master Hou, a group of people came outside The beggars, who did not know where the evil fire was from, beat the gatekeepers and rushed into the mansion to loot and smash, but the guards in the mansion could not stop them. They had already rushed into the gate of Yi and were heading towards The direction of the flower hall is coming!"

Taiping Hou was furious when he heard the words, and said angrily: "What a fuss! It's just a few beggars who scare you like this. Hurry up and send more people to gather all the guards and take down this gang. Poor ghosts of life and death!"

The housekeeper stomped anxiously: "The guards can't stop them at all. There are thousands of them, and they have blocked all the gates on all sides of the mansion. It seems that the mansion has been surrounded by them. If you don't grab it today, they won't go."

Bai Yunqing frowned and said: "Where is a beggar so bold, go, I will go out with you to have a look!"

As soon as Bai Yunqing stepped through the hanging flower gate, he heard the chaos outside.

Zhao Meng brandished two broad axes, gesticulating and threatening, chasing servants and maids in the yard shouting and screaming, with nowhere to hide.

Luo Ming ordered not to hurt the innocent, Zhao Meng didn't dare to be cruel, he just ran around after the servants and maids, and only parried twice when he encountered the guards with guys.

Bai Yunqing hid in the hanging flower gate and took a closer look. The more he looked, the more he felt that something was wrong. These beggars were all very skilled, jumping up and down very neatly, they looked like some practitioners.

Seeing his guards and servants being chased like bereaved dogs, Bai Yunqing has a bad heart, he is not a beggar, and the thugs he recruited probably don't have such good skills.

After guessing for a while, I didn't expect where Zhao Meng and others came from. Now that the situation is critical, if no one comes to rescue, the entire Hou Mansion will be demolished by these people.

Hastily calling a confidant, Bai Yunqing ordered: "Go to the racecourse in the suburbs of Beijing, call out the [-] armored troops, and quickly come to the mansion for rescue."

The confidant took the order, flew up the high wall, jumped a few times and disappeared.

These [-] armored troops are the thugs that Bai Yunqing recruited from everywhere. Among them are bandits who kill and steal goods, and bandits who occupy mountains as kings. All of them are characters who kill without batting an eyelid.

Recruiting soldiers and buying horses privately is already a serious crime, and Bai Yunqing didn't dare to make it public, and has been secretly raising these people in the horse farms in the suburbs of Beijing.Behind the racecourse is Fengming Mountain, which is enough for these bandits to cause harm. Bai Yunqing often sends some food, wine, money and women to appease him.

The confidant had been gone for half an hour, when he heard a group of people screaming outside the gate of Taipinghou's mansion, and the leader with a big beard shouted loudly and asked: "Who is so bold that dares to act wild in Houye's mansion?"

The bearded man had already entered the gate of the mansion while he was talking. He rode his horse through the courtyard and came to Zhao Meng and the others. middle.

With people backing them, Tai Pinghou and Bai Yunqing dared to come out from the Chuihua Gate, pointed at Zhao Meng and shouted: "Bold and unreasonable, who ordered you to come to my house to act wild?"

Zhao Meng walked out of the crowd slowly, wiped his face, showing his true colors, he laughed and said: "Your Majesty is so forgetful, the last general has only left Beijing for a while, so you won't recognize him?"

The two looked at each other carefully, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, "You, you are Zhao Meng?"

"Exactly!"

"Didn't you follow Luo Ming to Beimang, how could..."

After being shocked, Bai Yunqing understood that this was a trap laid by Luo Ming. First, he sent Zhao Meng to pretend to be a beggar to sneak into the capital, and then ordered him to besiege the Taipinghou Mansion, trying to take him down in one fell swoop.

Bai Yunqing sneered twice, Luo Ming's strategy was good, but he didn't expect that he still had more than 1 horses in his hands, I'm afraid Zhao Meng and others would be eaten alive by these 1 thugs today, let alone capture himself, It is impossible to get out of the whole body.

He said fiercely: "Kill me! These beggars broke into the Hou's mansion privately with evil intentions, kill them all, leave no one behind!"

When Bai Yunqing gave an order, all the gangsters rushed forward.Zhao Meng waved his hands calmly and said, "Wait!"

Bai Yunqing sneered and said, "You are only afraid now, isn't it too late?"

Zhao Meng turned his head and looked around, looked at the thousand elite soldiers he had brought, and said with a smile, "I'm afraid? My uncle has never known the word 'fear' since he was born! Don't worry, since you want to sing an opera, you have to wait until all the troops are ready. When all the people are here, I must also have all my people, so that the fight can begin!"

Bai Yunqing said with a disdainful smile: "At this point, what are you talking about. Luo Ming only brought three thousand soldiers and horses, even if you share half of them, it is only more than 1000 people. Open your eyes and see, there are many soldiers inside and outside the house. , how can you still see your people? If you are afraid, just surrender and surrender. I have always cherished talents. Seeing that you are good at skills, I will leave you with a humble life. As long as you listen to this master from now on, you will be promoted. Getting rich is not a problem, even if the land is entrusted to you, this young master can promise you!"

Zhao Meng snorted, and scoffed: "Master has never been with those who are disloyal and unfilial! Allow me to be promoted and get rich, and be entrusted by the princes? It's a big tone. Just because you want to be the emperor, you don't look down on you." Did the crooked-neck tree grow on the Bai family's ancestral grave!"

Bai Yun's chest was full of breath, and he shouted loudly: "Young master, catch him, today you have to cut him into pieces, and you will be able to eliminate your hatred!"

All the bandits screamed strangely, each waved their weapons, and rushed up.

Zhao Meng swung his ax to resist, chopped down two of them, and was worried: why didn't they come?

Just as he was thinking about it, there was another sound of regular footsteps outside the gate of Taipinghou Mansion. It was the sound of soldiers marching in the army. They were neat and tidy, and their steps were vigorous. Getting closer and closer, gradually approaching, followed by the sound of fighting, I saw Liu Ziqi in a black robe and armor, leading a group of people, straddling to the middle of the courtyard.

Zhao Meng rushed to meet him, "General Liu!"

Liu Ziqi smiled and said: "The old man came a step late, which surprised General Zhao."

Liu Ziqi cherished his younger generations and cared for Luo Ming, Zhao Meng and other nephews of the younger generation. What he said was natural, but Zhao Meng felt a little embarrassed, scratched his head, and said shyly, "Where is it..."

Liu Ziqi fell from the sky like a divine soldier, Taipinghou and Bai Yunqing couldn't help but turn pale with fright, felt uneasy, and dripped cold sweat.Zhao Meng and others are nothing to be afraid of, but if Liu Ziqi is involved, they will not be able to resist anyway.

Bai Yunqing suppressed the fear in his heart, held a trace of luck, and asked in a trembling voice: "General Liu, what do you intend to bring a large group of people to my residence?"

Liu Ziqi's eyes were cold, he glanced at Bai Yunqing and Taipinghou, and reprimanded: "Young Lord Hou still asks what the old man wants to do?"

Pointing to the bearded man in the courtyard, he asked: "Who is this person? Who are the people behind him? I heard that someone in the capital secretly transferred troops, and that someone in the northwest military camp did not obey the general's order and left the military camp privately. All the way After some inquiries, I found out that they were from the Taipinghou Mansion. Then please ask the Taipinghou and the little Houye to explain to the old man. There are tens of thousands of people in this group, each of them is armed with weapons to kill people. Where did they come from? Why do you gather in one place, appear in your mansion, and listen to your orders?"

Bai Yunqing was tongue-tied, how could he say that he recruited him privately.After thinking about it, Liu Ziqi arrived just as soon as he transferred the Iron Armored Army. It was only a meal time before and after, and Zhao Meng and others pretended to be beggars and came to the mansion to make trouble. The whole thing happened a long time ago. Premeditated, the purpose is to let the more than 1 Iron Armored Army show up, so that they can be wiped out.

The hole cards are also exposed, so I'm afraid it's useless now.Bai Yunqing sneered, and retorted: "General Liu, I remember that in Dongli country, as a general, he has the right to lead troops but not the right to dispatch troops. You still ask me where these troops come from? I want to ask first. General Liu, do you have an imperial edict? Without an order to transfer soldiers, you secretly call people from the Northwest Army Camp to my house to arrest them, and you still want to accuse me of crimes, wouldn’t you be like a thief calling for a thief?"

Liu Ziqi smiled slightly, "Young Lord Hou asks you well! If there is no transfer order, how dare the old man make such a big show."

Raising his hand to let someone take something, Bai Yunqing froze when he saw it. It was a secret decree given to Luo Ming by Emperor Tianqing when he left for Beimang. It stated that Luo Ming had the right to dispatch troops. , Even the troops in the Northwest Army camp were all at his disposal.

"What else can you say, little marquis? If you want tiger talismans and transfer orders, the old man will not lack them either!"

Without even grasping the last bit of the handle, Bai Yunqing's face was ashen and defeated, and Taipinghou was so frightened that he shook his clothes and stood up, unable to speak again.

Liu Ziqi ordered: "Come here! Tai Ping Hou secretly recruited troops and bought horses, with the intention of rebelling against me. Let the old man take down all the people in his mansion, and don't let one go!"

As soon as Liu Ziqi gave an order, the soldiers from the Northwest Army Battalion rushed in from outside the gate of the mansion.

The bearded and other gangsters saw that the situation was not good, so they wanted to break out of the encirclement.How could Zhao Meng let him snatch a war horse, and rushed towards the bearded man.

The rest of the bandits also fled in all directions, but the gate of the house was sealed by the officers and soldiers. Those who were eager to please Tai Pinghou became entrapped turtles, with most of them killed or injured, and the rest were captured alive by the officers and soldiers.

Bai Yunqing was protecting Taipinghou and wanted to escape from the tunnel, but was shot in the back by Liu Ziqi with an arrow, and died of exhaustion.Seeing that his son was dead, Taipinghou had no choice but to kneel down and beg for mercy, and begged Liu Ziqi to let him go, so that he could give him all his wealth.

Liu Ziqi remained unmoved, and ordered people to tie the Taiping Hou's rope and push it out of the gate of the mansion, and sent a team of soldiers to seal all the places in Taipinghou's mansion, and leave it to be dealt with by Emperor Tianqing.The female relatives in the back house will be guarded first, and all soldiers will not enter the back house without permission, and are not allowed to have sex with maidservants, and those who violate it will be beaten to death with sticks.
