Chapter 177 Chapter 186: Reversal of the Situation
As soon as this remark came out, the group of government soldiers outside the door were all surprised. They faintly felt that something big happened today. They didn't believe it, so Cao Tian took out tens of thousands of arrows from the warehouse and used them as evidence to finally convince the soldiers of the Weifu.

However, Li Hao's words were quite convincing. Bringing 500 troops privately was not a joke. It could definitely be regarded as a major crime of treason. Now all the soldiers in the Weifu didn't know who to trust.

Zhechong Guard Mansion has the largest establishment with regiments, each regiment has a school lieutenant to lead 200 people, Tingzhou Zhechong Guard Mansion has a total of 2000 people, and there are ten school lieutenants. Xin, lost his mind, but luckily a school lieutenant was clever and shouted: "Don't panic, everyone, listen to Captain Wang!" The Captain Wang he was talking about was naturally Captain Youguoyi Wang Yuantai.

"Yes, listen to Captain Wang."

"We are only looking forward to the king's captain!"

……

The ten school lieutenants clamored to obey Wang Yuantai's orders. Wang Yuantai usually entertained them with good wine and meat, and invited them to visit the brothels. Now it proves that his money was not wasted, but it was not his money. It was Cao Tian who contributed, and he was only responsible for playing along.

When Wang Yuantai saw that the ten school lieutenants expressed that they listened to his orders, he suddenly felt like a villain, and his vanity was greatly satisfied. He raised the saber in his hand, calmed everyone down, and said loudly: "Everyone, don't worry!" , Let’s see what else Cao Biejia and Li Inspector have to say, we can’t wrong good people.”

"Yes! You can't wrong a good person!"

"Listen to Captain Wang!"

……

In just a moment, Wang Yuantai transformed himself into an important figure in Tingzhou City. Now it can be said bluntly that if he helps one side, the other side is almost finished. Although Li Hao has five hundred guards, they are all It is difficult for the cavalry to exert their full combat power under such terrain, and it is almost impossible to fight against the [-] troops.

The same is true for Cao Tian. Although he brought more than 500 people into the city, Wang Yuantai has 2000 of them.

Just as Cao Tian was about to speak, Li Hao suddenly clapped his hands and said loudly, "Lu Yun, bring me here!"

As soon as the words fell, Lu Yun escorted a prisoner wearing a white prison uniform into the arena. Cao Tian was surprised when he saw this person. Li Hao was captured alive.

Although the prisoner was wearing a prison uniform, he was very neat and tidy, and there was even a scent of powder. Li Hao took out a piece of paper from his arms and said, "This is the prisoner's confession. I will read it here for everyone to listen to." .”

He unfolded the paper as he spoke, and read slowly: "I, Lei Hu, was born as a horse thief. I was taken in by Cao Tian six years ago. As his subordinate, I have done many evil deeds for Cao Tian. The biggest one is the ten years of Zhenguan. In October, under the order of Cao Tian, ​​I took 12 of my men to sneak into the home of Yao Jinzhong, the governor of Tingzhou, and set fire to it, causing Yao’s family to be buried in a sea of ​​flames. In September of the 14th year of Zhenguan, I took [-] people to set fire to the Longchang granary under the order of Cao Tian. If you burn food, you will be captured if you fail.”

After Li Hao finished reading, he handed the confession to Lei Hu who was kneeling on the ground, and asked coldly, "Lei Hu, take a look, is this your confession?"

Lei Hu took a look and nodded vigorously: "Return to the adults, it is the confession of the villain."

Li Hao nodded, turned his head to look at Cao Tian, ​​and asked with a joking smile, "Cao Tian murdered an official of the imperial court, and he was also a great official in the frontier. How do you explain it?"

"Nonsense!" Cao Tian yelled, staring, "Do you think that anyone will believe me if you find any prisoner to pretend to be my subordinate?"

"What you said makes sense." Li Hao turned his head to look at Lei Hu, smacked his lips, and said, "Lei Hu, I'm sorry, your master said you are not his dog, and I can't help you. ……hey-hey……."

"Wait a minute!" Lei Hu shouted suddenly when he heard the words, "I have a way to prove that I am Cao Biejia's man!"

"Oh?" Li Hao raised his eyebrows, "Let's hear it, how to prove it?"

Lei Hu said loudly: "Cao Biejia these years, the fish and meat people, searched passing caravans, and amassed countless wealth. Naturally, so much treasure should be kept properly, and no one should be told. Once, I accidentally overheard him and his son. Talk, if you know he will bury the treasure in the backyard!"

Cao Tian panicked and shouted: "Nonsense, nonsense! Li Hao, don't slander me!"

"Whether it's slander or not, you can find out by going to your backyard." Li Hao said with a smile, "Captain Wang, you heard it all. In Cao's backyard, you don't take people to dig the ground."

"Don't go!" Cao Tian turned his head and shouted angrily at Wang Yuantai.

Wang Yuantai stared at him, and said coldly: "Is this the way you are talking to Captain Ben! You are a suspect now!"

"What?" Cao Tian was shocked when he heard the words. From Wang Yuantai's attitude, he suddenly felt that something was wrong.

Wang Yuantai turned his head to look at Long Qi at the side, and ordered loudly: "Lieutenant Long, take 200 people to dig in the backyard of Cao's house and see if it is true that there are a lot of treasures hidden underground as Leihu said. It’s about rebellion, you must not be blinded by gold and jewelry, it will kill your head!”

"Captain, don't worry!" Long Qi cupped his fists to accept the order, and the preparations were about to start.

Wang Yuantai reminded again: "Lieutenant Long, if anyone dares to stop them, they will all be killed. If something happens, the captain will take care of it."

"Yes!" Long Qi was extremely excited, and set off with 200 people.

Can Long Qi not be excited? There are ten major lieutenants in the Wei Mansion, and the other nine are flattering Yun Meng and Cao Tian. Only he has a bad temper, does not seek power, and is more sympathetic with Wang Yuantai, so the two of them He has been suppressed by Cao Tian for many years, and now he finally has a chance to bring down Cao Tian. He doesn't know how happy he is.

At this moment, Cao Tian finally realized that he had been tricked. It turned out that from the very beginning, Wang Yuantai was a chess piece played by Li Haobu, but he naively thought that Wang Yuantai was his own chess piece, and he even paid him to buy it in Weifu. In the end, he actually lifted a rock and shot himself in the foot. He was angry, quite angry, why couldn't he beat Li Hao regardless of whether he was playing bright or dark, and the other party was obviously just a teenage boy, why? There are so many fancy intestines in the stomach.

Now he knows that there is nothing he can do, he can only run away, but with Wang Yuantai's [-] guards watching, how could he escape easily? At this time, a middle-aged man in black walked up to Cao Tian , asked in a low voice: "Cao Tian, ​​didn't you say that the two thousand soldiers are all yours, why now..."

"Stop talking." Cao Tian's mouth didn't move much, but his voice was able to come out. This is ventriloquism. "The leader of the army, Wang Yuantai, has betrayed the water. Something is not going well, so try to find a way to get out."

"You..." The man was so angry that he wanted to go crazy, but seeing Li Hao and Wang Yuantai staring at him, he didn't dare to attack, and slowly backed away.

There was a stalemate at the scene all the time. People in Tingzhou hid in the distance and looked towards the governor's mansion. They didn't know what was going on here, but it must be a big event with so many people gathered here, so no one dared to approach.

Time passed bit by bit, Li Hao and Wang Yuantai waited patiently, they were waiting for the news of Long Qi, because that was the important evidence to convict Cao Tian.

Gradually, it was dawn, and the sun slowly rose from the eastern sky. This tossing lasted all night. Suddenly, nearly a hundred people appeared in the east. It was Long Qi. They dug in the backyard of Cao’s house overnight, digging for a long time, and finally unearthed a large amount of treasures. Preliminary calculations showed 3 taels of gold, 12 taels of silver, and countless jewels! Hundreds of people have been dispatched to collect Cao Tian’s family. Confinement, waiting for Wang Duwei's release."

"Hiss—" Li Hao gasped when he heard the words, suddenly gave Cao Tian a thumbs up, and said, "Cao Tian, ​​you can do it, I said why is the terrain of Tingzhou so low? You scratched, the ancients used to say that scraping the ground three feet, you are scratching the ground three feet!"

Cao Tian was ashamed when he heard the words. At this moment, he also knew that his crime was confirmed.

"Everyone obey orders!" Li Hao sneered coldly, pointing at Cao Tian and said, "Don't drive Cao Tian in Tingzhou, he is rebellious and intends to rebel. Anyone who can be punished or captured will be personally reported to the court and rewarded generously." Rewards, promotion and wealth, glory to the ancestors, just around the corner!"

Wang Yuantai also said loudly after hearing the words: "Everyone has heard that the chance to get promoted and get rich has come. How many such opportunities can there be in this life? Brothers, capture Cao Tian alive!"

With an order, all the government soldiers roared excitedly, raised their weapons and rushed towards Cao Tian.

Seeing this, Cao Tian quickly got on his horse, turned around and fled. The 500 people he brought also fled, but the streets were narrow and there were too many people. In an instant, hundreds of people lay dead on the spot.

Li Hao sent You Xiaowei out of the governor's mansion, and rode towards the south gate, but unfortunately he was a step too late, after all, the gate of the governor's mansion was too small, and it took a lot of time for 500 people to go out.

Among the troops brought by Cao Tian, ​​there were only more than 600 cavalry, and half of them were horse thieves, and the other 900 were infantry. , was killed to the point where there were corpses and blood all over the streets, it was extremely hideous, and the people in Tingzhou were so frightened that they all hid in their homes and did not dare to go out.

Cao Tian successfully opened the city gate and escaped. He ran straight to the south, which was in the direction of Gaochang. Peng Hai led the right Xiaowei to chase for more than 50 miles, killing more than 300 people, and finally escaped by Cao Tian.

Li Hao came to Cao's mansion with more than twenty special forces, and saw a huge hole dug out in the backyard, and gold, silver and jewels were piled up on the ground nearby, like a hill.

Seeing so many gold, silver and jewels, Li Hao couldn't be happy at all, and finally got rid of Cao Tian, ​​but he knew that what he would face next might be a bigger disaster.
