At the end of the Han Dynasty: a stingy husband from his hometown

Chapter 67 Pour the wine
No matter what it is, as long as someone sets an example, and the rest follow suit, the psychological burden will be much smaller.

The three of them thought of Zhou Qi's method, their eyes met in the air, and they stood up almost at the same time and said: "I am willing to die for my service!"

When Zhou Qi heard this, the smile on his face became brighter.

He turned to look at the general who was holding Lieutenant Liu's head and was still a little at a loss, and asked: "They are all ready to bring order to the chaos. Do you think they are sincere?"

The man trembled all over, but he had to start to face Zhou Qi's question squarely.

As the first person to surrender, even if he was forced by Zhou Qi, he had no way out. If these people were not sincere in surrendering, and if old scores were settled in the future, he would definitely be the first to be cleared.

Thinking of this, he temporarily put aside the guilt in his heart, and suddenly tore off the robe he was wearing outside, revealing the leather armor he was wearing inside, and said to Zhou Qi: "Not only did Lieutenant Liu order us to go to the banquet secretly Putting on armor and carrying weapons, and also ordered his two confidant generals to lead their own soldiers to ambush outside, it is true that he has rebellious intentions and wants to be detrimental to his work."

"A certain person sincerely surrendered his sincerity and took the initiative to expose Lieutenant Liu's intentions. As for the sincerity of the three of them, it is slightly insufficient."

When the other three generals heard this, they immediately glared at the man who surrendered first, but they did not dare to curse out loud. Instead, they hurriedly defended themselves: "Our sincerity can be seen from the heavens and the earth, and there will be no falsehood!"

Zhou Qi interjected at the right time: "How to prove it?"

The three people were silent for a while, and then one of them suddenly said: "Wang Ji has done many heinous things during the years he has been the Prime Minister of Pei. Several of them were involved in major cases of family extermination, and they were all ordered by Lieutenant Liu privately. Bring someone to assist Wang Ji.”

"Although I don't want to, I dare not disobey because of the military order. I have wanted to appeal to the people for a long time, but Prime Minister Pei Guo and Lieutenant Liu are powerful, so there is no way to appeal. Fortunately, Lai Zhou came to Xiang County to plead for the people. The investigation is illegal, so someone should explain these things!"

When the other two heard the words, they all suddenly realized, and said many secret things that were not known to the public.

When Zhou Qi heard this, the smile on his face became brighter.

He asked someone to bring him pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and asked the person who first surrendered to write down all the evil deeds they had done to help Lieutenant Liu in private, and signed and signed them.

Caihou paper was not uncommon in the late Han Dynasty, but it was not promoted on a large scale due to various reasons.Zhou Qi was not used to bamboo slips, and silk books were too expensive, so he asked people to carry some yellowed Caihou paper with them.

The things written by several people can not only become the evidence of Lieutenant Liu's collusion with Wang Ji, but also become the handle of several people in Zhou Qi's hands.

If Zhou Qi is willing, these things in his hands alone will be enough to make a few people dismissed from office at least, or even wipe out their families.

These things are also the votes of several people.

After collecting the certificates from several people, Zhou Qi breathed a sigh of relief.

Don't look at Zhou Qi's relaxed and freehand performance before, but he was actually a little nervous.If these people refuse to surrender even if they are willing to die, then without the help of these people, it will be very difficult for Zhou Qi to kill two thousand Lieutenant Shi Peiguo.

Previously, Lieutenant Liu had destroyed all the evidence related to his crimes. Without the testimony of these participants, the evidence Zhou Qi now has would not be enough to convict Lieutenant Liu.

What's more, these people's official positions are not low, if they are all killed, it will definitely cause a catastrophe.

Even if Yang Qiu's power is extremely high, and now that the holy family is gathering, it may not be able to suppress this matter.

Now that the four of them have surrendered, there is a lot of room for maneuver. With Zhou Qi's means, as long as the people at the banquet don't report, nothing will happen.

Looking at the four people who had written the declaration of surrender and were still a little trembling, Zhou Qi bowed to everyone and said, "If you hadn't done something righteous and killed the evil thief, I would have been poisoned by the thief right now."

"Zhou Qi would like to thank you all for your life-saving grace!"

Several people looked at each other, sighing secretly in their hearts that Zhou Qi was not worthy of being a son of a man, so they could only bite the bullet and agree to kill Lieutenant Liu.

At this time, they were afraid of Zhou Qi from the bottom of their hearts, and they all returned their salutes one after another, saying: "What we do is our duty, how dare we accept the gratitude for our work?"

After the general who spoke first returned the gift, he said with some worry: "Lieutenant Liu has already ordered his personal guards to ambush outside. If it is known that Lieutenant Liu died here, it may be detrimental to our work."

Zhou Qi poured himself a glass of wine in a calm manner, drank it slowly to moisten his throat, and then asked, "How many are there?"

The general replied: "Lieutenant Liu's own bodyguard, plus his two confidants, the commander of the township party, there are at least 200 people. Moreover, these people are all wearing iron armor and have sophisticated weapons. They usually have no food or training." If it falls, its combat effectiveness cannot be underestimated.”

Zhou Qi twirled the wine glass in his hand and asked, "Will those two generals surrender?"

Another general quickly replied: "Both of these two are members of Lieutenant Liu's clan, and there is absolutely no possibility of surrender!"

"Snapped!"

Zhou Qi placed the wine glass heavily on the table and said, "If that's the case, then kill them!"

Frightened by Zhou Qi's aura, the four generals couldn't help feeling awe-inspiring, but they still persuaded them: "The two hundred elites in armor should not be underestimated. If we can evacuate and mobilize the trilogy safely, we may still have the power to fight. Otherwise. Just relying on the fifty cavalry under his command to fight two hundred elites in the city, there is no chance of winning."

Zhou Qi did not share his thoughts with a few people, but asked, "Have these 200 people ever worn crossbows?"

Several people shook their heads and said, "Bowmen are special types of troops and need special training. The responsibility of these personal guards is to protect the safety of the general. Most of them are shield soldiers, and they don't wear bows and crossbows."

Zhou Qi heard the words, turned to look at Xu Chu, and said: "If you command 50 people, can you break through the enemy's formation and kill two people under the horse?"

When Xu Chu heard that he had the opportunity to be the main force in the vanguard, he immediately felt his blood boil, and immediately stepped forward and shouted: "If you can't behead the two, I will come to see you!"

Zhou Qi's face was serious, he brought up a pot of wine that was still warming, poured a glass for Xu Chu himself, and said: "Zhongkang, drink this wine, if you can kill these two people, you will be the first!"

Xu Chu took the wine glass but did not drink it all. Instead, he put it on the table and said angrily: "Put down the wine. When I come back victorious from killing these two people, it won't be too late to drink this wine again!" "

After hearing Xu Chu's words, Zhou Qi suddenly remembered a famous scene in the novel, and a big smile appeared on his face.

He turned to Zhou Cheng and said: "Send the signal and ask Xiang Hong to lead the troops over!"
