Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 703

"Big guy!"

A servant's call came from outside.

"Wait a moment."

Qu Tutong wiped the unsheathed horizontal knife clean, then put the knife back into the sheath, and hung it on his waist.This is a beautiful horizontal knife, bestowed by the emperor.

Putting on the hat on the table, he opened the door.

The servant outside the door bowed, "Master, all the guests have arrived."

The guests have arrived, and it's time to end it all. "Go and tell everyone, I'll be right there."

Although the Qutu Mansion in Liaodong City was not as luxurious as the two mansions in Xijing and Luoyang City, it still occupied a very large area. When he walked through the verandah, he saw that the moonlight was very good tonight.

In the mansion, the servants are standing everywhere with full energy.

The place for the banquet is in the front hall, where there is a very large hall and a large yard. It is just autumn, and you can enjoy the moon while drinking at night.

When passing through the gate leading to the front hall, there were several people standing at the door, namely his subordinates Sang Xianhe and Yao Junsu, and his two sons Qu Tushou and Qu Tuquan.

"Marshal, everything is ready." Sang Xianhe said to him, he and Yao Junsu were both Qu Tu's former confidantes, and they were also General Ying Yanglang from Liucheng County earlier, and Luo Cheng's direct descendants of the Left Fifth Army There has never been much contact, and most of them are from Guanzhong generals, and they look down on Luo Cheng and his subordinates who are from Shandong.

Although Qu Tutong's ancestors were from Kumoxi, their ancestors had defected to the Central Plains long ago, so they can be regarded as generals from generation to generation.

He said to several people, "I have received great favor from the country and served the two lords. Your Majesty has given me great favor. How can I escape the national calamity when I take the salary of the court and betray the country? !"

The generals were very moved, and they clenched their fists and beat their chests together, "We will not let those Shandong people betray us!"

He reached out and patted the shoulders of several people, and then explained a few words to his two sons, and then walked into the front yard.

"Marshal Qu Tu is here!"

A servant shouted loudly into the hall, and all the guests stood up to greet him.

Qu Tutong walked in and saw not only Feng Deyi and Li Baiyao, but also Hou Mo Chenyi, Wei Zheng, Luo Cunxiao, Luo Shixin, Cheng Yaojin, Shan Xiongxin, Huang Junhan, Zhai Rang Cheng's confidants also arrived, and on the other side, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and many other county officials were also there.

"Thanks for your busy schedule, you still found time to come here. I am over 60 years old, and I didn't want to hold this banquet at first, but I will take this opportunity to gather with everyone."

Fang Xuanling smiled and said, "Deputy Marshal Qu Tu has such a strong body, he can live another 20 years without any problem."

Qu Tutong's tone became serious, "Most of our Andong Dao civil and military officers have arrived today, but Marshal Luo Cheng has disappeared recently."

Luo Cunxiao snorted, "The commander-in-chief has something important to do, so he will leave for a while."

Feng Deyi said dissatisfiedly, "As the commander-in-chief of Andong Road, even if something happens to Luo Cheng, he should tell everyone. At the very least, he should temporarily hand over the seal to Deputy Commander Qu Tu for safekeeping. Otherwise, if there is something urgent, Shouldn't it be a mess?"

The observer, Li Baiyao, asked the fourth child directly, "May I ask Prefect Luo, where did the commander-in-chief go? Why hasn't he been seen for so long?" He stared at the fourth child, "Why did I hear that Shuai Luo went to Monan? Oh, it’s the secret Marshal Luo Siye? May I ask what kind of important matter is it that you have to travel so far to the Monan Secret Society?”

The fourth child is wearing an official robe today, and the beard on his face has just been shaved, "Isn't today Master Qu Tu's birthday banquet, why do I think it is a Hongmen banquet?"

Qu Tutong said, "Luo Cheng is not here, so I, the deputy commander, will stay in this town for the time being. General Cun Xiao, you should tell everyone where Luo Shuai went and why?"

The fourth child smiled and stared at Qu Tutong, "What does the deputy commander mean?"

"This commander is just talking about something. There are rumors that Luo Cheng went to Monan to secret Luo Siye, saying that they are planning to plot a rebellion!"

"You say rebellion is rebellion?" The fourth child asked back.

Seeing that the fourth child refused to let go, Qu Tutong glanced across the hall, and stopped arguing with him, but directly took out the imperial decree.

"This is an edict sent by His Majesty. When the angel read the edict, Envoy Feng Pacify and Envoy Li Observer were also there."

Fang Xuanling stepped forward to check the imperial edict, "This is indeed an imperial edict issued by the emperor. It contains the jade seal and the signatures and seals of the prime ministers of the three provinces. It is not fake."

Qu Tutong said to Fang Xuanling, "I also ask Fang Taishou to read the will to everyone."

Fang Xuanling reached out to open it.

"Wait a minute!"

The fourth child yelled and stopped him.

"But I have something here, I want to ask Fang Taishou to read it."

The fourth child also took out a paper from his sleeve as he spoke.

Du Ruhui on the side took it.

Open and be amazed.

"Prefect Du, read it to everyone."

"Cen Wenwen, the secretary of the yamen of the appeasement envoy, Yan Shigu, the judge of the yamen of the observation envoy, reported the report, saying that Feng Deyi, the envoy of appeasement, Li Baiyao, the envoy of observation, and Qu Tutong, the deputy envoy of Jiedu, jointly accepted bribes from Yuan Taizuo, Collusion, betraying information to them, getting inside and outside!"

Feng Deyi was furious.

"Cen text!"

Cen Wenwen was the secretary in charge of the pacification envoy's yamen, and he was also Feng Deyi's confidant and his disciple.The Cen family has been a noble family in the Southern Dynasties for generations. His grandfather was an official in the Nanliang Ministry of Officials, and his father later entered the Sui Dynasty as the Minister of Yubu. Passionate and earnest, call for a clear debate.His father's injustice was brought to light, so he became famous.

But Feng Deyi used to be Yang Su's confidant, and he was admired by him, so he married his niece to him. After Yang Su died, he mixed with Yu Shiji again and became Yu Shiji's confidant.

When Feng Deyi was a member of the Ministry of Internal History, Cen Wenwen also entered the Ministry of Internal History, and he admired him. Later, Cen worshiped him as his teacher, and he also liked this student very much. He came to Liaodong as a pacifier, and specially brought him here Became the secretary.

Unexpectedly, the proud student now accused him of colluding with the Goguryeo people.

Cen Wenwen was in the hall, but facing Feng Deyi's angry shout, he remained calm.

"I'm just reporting what I know."

The fourth child smiled and said to Du Ruhui, "Prefect Du, please give this document to Marshal Qu Tu for review. There is solid evidence on it."

Qu Tutong didn't answer, nor did he look at it, but said coldly, "Do you want to frame our thieves, and then take the opportunity to eliminate dissidents? Luo Cunxiao, you finally can't help it?"

He said to Fang Xuanling, "Please Fang Taishou read out the imperial edict immediately. From now on, I will follow the emperor's edict to take over the post of Marshal of the Zhongwu Army of Andong Road, and arrest Luo Cheng, Luo Cunxiao, Mo Chen Yi, Wei Zheng, etc. who conspired to rebel." people!"

The fourth child smiled and took two steps forward, snatching the edict from Fang Xuanling's hand, "Collude with foreign thieves, and even want to steal military power, don't even think about it!"

"Fourth Luo, you are so crazy, come here, seal the house, and take down these arrogant traitors!"

Sang Xianhe and Yao Junsu rushed in with a large group of soldiers holding spears and surrounded the people in the hall.

"Take them down!" Feng Deyi yelled from the side.

Sang Xianhe drew his sword out of its sheath, but turned around and thrust the sword into Yao Junsu's waist. Yao Junsu grunted, the weapon in his hand slipped from his limp hands, and fell to the ground.

This sudden change shocked everyone in the hall.

And at the same time as Sang Xianhe shot, dozens of soldiers behind him stabbed their spears at the people around them, and in an instant, more than a dozen people fell down.

Sang Xianhe stepped forward, the long sword resting on the chest of the old boss.

"Why?" Qu Tutong asked.

Sang Xianhe remained silent.
