Seeing that people slowly accepted this story, Yan Mengbiao was overjoyed. That night he called Liao Shiliu, Chen Xiong and other close men to tell him his plan.
Yan Mengbiao said: "Tens of thousands of disaster victims have accepted the story of Big Fish and are already using it for me. Now what we have to do is to break the embankments and use the water of the Xijiang River to create disasters. At that time, people's hearts were unstable. I held the fish intestine sword again.
If you climb high like a saint and give a shout, you will surely win tens of thousands of soldiers.
Then the officials will definitely send people to provide disaster relief, and the county will be empty. We will enter the county with lightning speed and kill the bird man from the officials.
When an official dies and the guards in front of the palace fail to do their duty, they should be executed according to the law, implicating the family. At this time, they will be frightened half to death. I will recruit them as a saint and let them protect me when I enter Lin'an and control all the officials. This way
If the dynasty changes, the world will be mine."
"ah!"
As soon as Yan Mengbiao's plan was revealed, everyone was shocked. They didn't expect that Yan Mengbiao had such great ambitions and wanted to become the emperor directly!
However, after being surprised, they had to admire Yan Mengbiao's courage.
Now public opinion has been created. As long as the Xijiang River bursts its embankment, people will definitely be in panic. When the saint appears, the people will naturally obey his orders.
Then Yan Mengbiao took advantage of the chaos and led people into the county town and killed Zhao Yun. At that time, the imperial guard in front of the palace failed in his duty, and he would inevitably die no matter what.
At this time, Yan Mengbiao promised them high-ranking officials and generous salaries. On the one hand, they were certain to die, and on the other hand, they had the possibility of wealth and life. It was not difficult to win their allegiance.
Once the imperial guards are loyal to Yan Mengbiao, they can cover Yan Mengbiao's disguise as Zhao Yun to enter Lin'an, enter the palace, and then hold a court meeting to control all officials. At this time, the world is under control!
"Brother, what if the imperial guards don't surrender? There are many outstanding officials in the imperial court. If some of them disobey and raise troops to resist, we will be in trouble."
The plan is very bold. Although it has the possibility of success, because it is bold, it is also risky and has many loopholes. If anything goes wrong in any link, it will be doomed for them.
How could Yan Mengbiao not know about this, but he didn't care at all because he was a gambler.
Yan Mengbiao said: "As long as we kill that bird man in the official family, our name will be remembered for thousands of generations. We will not lose anything. Whatever we do in the future will be profitable! If the imperial guards don't obey, we will bring tens of thousands of troops to fight with them."
.
The imperial guards have complied, and we will go to Lin'an to do our job. In Lin'an, we will kill anyone who disobeys, and kill him until everything turns upside down. As long as we cause chaos in the world, we won't have a chance."
Yan Mengbiao, Liao Shiliu and others were already desperadoes and no longer cared about life or death. Faced with Yan Mengbiao's plan, they naturally obeyed.
Seeing that there was no objection, Yan Mengbiao said to everyone: "Brothers, if the big thing comes true, I, Yan Mengbiao, will be the emperor, and you will be the king. Our descendants will share the world for generations to come. Listen carefully. Tomorrow night, we will break the dike and release water at the Xikou section to give him a chance to win wealth."
.”
"yes."
Everyone said yes, and then Yan Mengbiao made detailed arrangements for everyone. Everyone received the task and went to prepare.
At the county government office, Zhao Yun was listening to the report from Zhizhou Luo Xing. After hearing this, Zhao Yun was very satisfied.
At this time, Gao Shi stepped in and said: "Your Majesty, the head of the Siteng County Branch of the Imperial City has sent an urgent report."
After speaking, Gao Shi handed a letter to Zhao Yun for reading.
After reading it, Zhao Yun suddenly frowned and became serious after learning the story of Big Fish.
"Big fish? Talking about people?"
Zhao Yun murmured to himself, and then said to Luo Xing: "Some people among the victims spread the story of the big fish, saying that this big fish can speak human words and made a prophecy: the fish intestine sword will appear and the saint will come out, and the saint will bring peace to the world.
Do you know about this?"
Luo Xing didn't take it seriously and said: "Your Majesty, I have heard about this, but your Majesty does not need to worry about it. This is just for the victims to entertain themselves, and it is meaningless."
Zhao Yun looked sharply and said, "Can the Qing family study?"
Luo Xing was stunned for a moment, suddenly extremely embarrassed, his face flushed, and he replied: "Your Majesty, I have been studying hard for more than 20 years, and finally passed the imperial examination and became an official. I must have studied."
Zhao Yun was dissatisfied and said: "Now that you are studying, tell me how Chen Sheng and Wu Guang incited civil unrest. What happened to Zhang Jiao? What is their slogan?"
After Luo Xing heard this, he understood what Zhao Yun meant and was immediately shocked. Cold sweat broke out all over his body and he almost fainted from fright.
Luo Xing knelt on the ground and apologized: "I am guilty. I am guilty. Please punish me."
"Okay, regardless of whether you are guilty or not, I order you to immediately stop reinforcing the river bank, ground all the victims, conduct careful interrogations, and first identify the suspects and put them under centralized custody. This matter is of great importance. If anything goes wrong, you can jump directly into the Xijiang River.
There’s no need to come back.”
"Yes, I understand."
Luo Xing already knew the seriousness of the situation at this time, but it was a pity that he did not pay attention to it at the beginning, otherwise, he would not be in the current predicament.
"Xia You."
"I'm here."
"You take the imperial guards in front of the Ten Thousand Palaces to assist the state government in checking the victims. If there are those who take the lead in making trouble, they will be punished as treason and directly killed."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Xia You immediately accepted the order and went to the river bank with Luo Xing to investigate and deal with the unruly people.
At the river bank reinforcement site, Yan Mengbiao, Liao Shiliu and others looked at the sun that was about to set, feeling extremely excited in their hearts.
It will get dark soon, and the embankments will burst at night. After this day, you will either become a king or a hegemon, or your body will be in a different place. Everything will depend on God's arrangement.
Just when Yan Mengbiao, Liao Shiliu and others were excited, the supervisor loudly shouted: "Everyone stop, everyone go back to their residences. You are not allowed to move around at will. Everyone go back quickly."
Yan Mengbiao was surprised, and looked at one of his subordinates, who then asked the supervisor: "Why do you want to stop when you are doing so well? Is there anything wrong?"
The supervisor got angry and said angrily: "If I tell you to stop, just stop. There is so much nonsense."
While they were talking, a large number of soldiers entered, led by Xia You and Luo Xing who came with them.
However, Luo Xing was extremely flustered. He felt that he could not escape the death penalty, so he had no confidence at all in front of Xia You. Xia You had the final say in everything.
Xia You said loudly: "I have been ordered by the officials to stop reinforcing the river bank. All victims will return to their residences for interrogation. If they disobey, they will be punished for treason and will be killed without mercy."
The victims were so panicked that they didn't know why such a sudden change occurred. If they didn't cooperate, they might be regarded as treason. They dared to disobey. They were forced to return to their respective homes one by one under the threat of soldiers' swords and guns.
Seeing this, Liao Shiliu secretly said something bad, knowing that the matter was exposed, he hurriedly whispered to Yan Mengbiao: "Brother, it seems there is a traitor, what should I do now?"
