Chapter 17 Mutiny!

At the foot of the mountain, the soldiers are resting and waiting.

In the shade of a tree in the distance, Wu Xiong and Deputy Qianhu were talking quietly.

Wu Xiong: "If I'm not wrong, it should be the crown prince!"

Deputy Qianhu: "Then what should we do, we offended the crown prince, it will definitely not end well!"

Wu Xiong: "Indeed, but it's not like there's no chance, it just depends on whether you dare to take a gamble."

Deputy Qianhu was stunned for a moment, "Could it be that you want to..."

Wu Xiong looked at him meaningfully, "There is no other way, don't take a gamble, once the court blames us, we will have no good results, unless you want to vote for Japanese pirates."

Deputy Qianhu shook his head quickly, "Are you kidding me? I managed to get to this position, how could I vote for Japanese pirates."

Wu Xiong sneered: "Then it's over. Since we don't want to vote for Japanese pirates, then we have only one choice. If we make the right bet, not only can we save our lives, but we may even be promoted."

"You think, if His Royal Highness accepts us, we will belong to His Royal Highness."

"And now Your Majesty." Wu Xiong clasped his fists in the direction of Beiping, "There is only one child, His Highness the Crown Prince. Once His Highness the Crown Prince accepts us, we will hug our thighs."

"When His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ascends the throne in the future, our good days will come. As long as we make a little contribution, we will be on the verge of success."

Wu Xiong's words were very tempting, and Deputy Qianhu had to admit that he was tempted.

Thinking of the good days in the future, and the pleasure of increasing his official position step by step, he gritted his teeth and punched his fist hard.

"Done!"

"It's not just Zhang Ze, but also Tong Zhi and Qian Shi. These two people are not good birds. We have blocked our heads for so many years to smuggle salt money, and the two of them have not lost much money."

"Besides, the three of them conspired together, treated our brothers as human beings, and simply got rid of them both."

"Row."

Wu Xiong nodded in agreement, he had already disliked those two guys.

The bonus money that has been talked about for so many years has only been given to three melons and two dates, and even half of their salaries have been deducted. The officers and soldiers in the entire guard have long been dissatisfied with the three of them.

Soon the two made a decision to go to the soldiers to discuss this matter.

When the soldiers heard that they had offended the Crown Prince, and that His Highness the Crown Prince had already gone to Fucheng, it was likely that he was going to gather soldiers to arrest them, and the soldiers were in an uproar.

Wu Xiong took this opportunity to express his thoughts.

Without any hesitation, the soldiers raised their hands one after another to express their willingness to join.

Soon the team reorganized and returned to the Anton Guardhouse.

"Aren't you back yet?"

In the yamen of the guard, Zhang Ze circled back and forth in the lobby with his hands behind his back, looking outside the door from time to time to ask the soldiers guarding the door.

"Return to your lord, Wu Qianhu and the others haven't come back yet."

"Ugh!"

Hearing that he didn't come back, Zhang Ze stamped his feet anxiously.

After Zhang Yong left, he became more and more uneasy, fearing that what he had done in Antonwei would be exposed, so he gritted his teeth and decided to kill him.

The surrounding area of ​​Antonwei is poor and remote, and there are often Japanese pirates running around, so it is normal for some people to disappear unexpectedly.

At that time, if the higher-ups come to ask, it will be a big deal to push the matter to the Japanese pirates.

Even in order to let his brothers unify, he, who has always been stingy, even gave each of them a tael of silver as a hush money, which made him very painful.

One person, one tael, the entire Anton Guard has nearly 2000 people in addition to the empty salary, plus the two acquaintances, and before and after, he has to spend at least three to four thousand taels of silver.

Thinking of such a cute little money being divided up like this, Zhang Ze hated Zhang Yongna to the extreme.

If it wasn't for the fear of being found out later, he would have wanted his subordinates to drag Zhang Yong's body back and whip the corpse.

"My lord, Wang Tongzhi, something about Zhao Qian is coming!"

Just as Zhang Ze was circling anxiously, the soldiers on duty at the gate reported to him the arrival of the other two heads of the guard.

"What are they doing here?"

Zhang Ze frowned and waved at the soldiers.

"Invite them in."

Soon, two officials strode in and bowed their hands at Zhang Ze.

"I have seen the Commander!"

Zhang Ze, who had already changed his expression on his face, bowed his hands back to the two with a smile.

"Why are the two brothers here free? Is there something wrong?"

When Zhang Ze asked this question, the two people on the opposite side were stunned.

Commander An Dongwei looked at Zhang Ze suspiciously.

"It's not Commander, did you send the two of us here?"

Zhang Ze was also taken aback by the question.

When did he call these two?
Suddenly, he seemed to understand something, yelled badly, turned around and grabbed the knife on the case.

"Tap tap..."

There was a sound of footsteps coming from outside the lobby, and he was still a little confused in commanding Tong Zhi and Qian Shi. Looking back, he saw Wu Xiong, a thousand households in the guard, rushing in with a group of people carrying knives and bows.

"Zhang Ze, what do you want to do!"

Such a scene made the two of them panic in an instant.

Zhao Yuan, the commander, pulled out his saber from his waist in a "bass", and asked Zhang Ze angrily while being wary of the soldiers rushing in.

"What the hell is none of my business? The little bastards below are blown up. If you don't come here quickly, if you don't unite together, the three of us will die."

Zhang Ze, who had drawn his sword out of its sheath, cursed at Zhao Yuanhui.

"It exploded!"

Zhao and Yuan were startled, and when they looked back, they saw that the faces of the soldiers surrounding them were not looking good.

"Damn, you bastard, we usually advise you not to be greedy so much, but you just don't listen. Now it's all right, there's muddy water in the nest, I don't care if I rush out today, if I can't, I won't let you go you."

Zhao Yuan mourned in his heart, and quickly stood back to back with Wang Tongzhi, who was next to him, and Zhang Ze, watching the soldiers who came up vigilantly.

"Wu Xiong, what do you want to do? You can't rebel if you want to."

Zhang Ze's forehead was covered with cold sweat, holding the knife tightly in his hand, looking at Wu Xiong who was staring at him with a cold face, he asked loudly.

"Hehe, it's not certain which of us will rebel."

Wu Xiong sneered and waved his hands. Dozens of soldiers with firecrackers aimed at Zhang Ze and the others who raised their knives to guard everyone.

"Brother Wu, did we have some misunderstandings? My brother treats you well on weekdays. If you accidentally offend my brother, please forgive me. My brother is willing to kowtow to apologize."

Wang Tongzhi looked at the muzzle of the gun pointed at him, and the guns raised by the soldiers, and the cold sweat streaming from his forehead covered his eyes.

He tried his best to calm himself down, looked at Wu Xiong with a smile on his face, hoping to impress the other party with words, and try to spare his life.

"Wang Tongzhi, don't blame the brothers. The brothers only did this to save their lives. If you want to blame you, you can only blame our Commander for offending someone who shouldn't be offended."

After finishing speaking, Wu Xiong stopped talking to the other party, waved his hands and ordered: "Arrest them, dare to resist and break their limbs, but don't beat them to death. If they die, we will not be able to explain to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"Also, no one is allowed to touch the seized money. It is our brother's life-saving money. If one or two taels of silver are missing, our brother will not be able to explain it clearly."

Wang Tongzhi, who wanted to try to persuade him again, felt his body soften when he heard the words His Royal Highness, and the knife in his hand fell to the ground.

Zhang Ze, I call you uncle!
