On the 22nd winter moon, Qingzhou, Shandong. Today is snow, and fine snowflakes are falling from the sky, almost dyeing the entire city white.

The Qingzhou governor Ma Gui was walking into the government office in the snow. He had an unpredictable murderous aura in his eyes because he had received the order from the court and immediately captured and executed the local prefect Huang Wenbing and his fellow disciples!

After Sun Tu led the Shandong army to Jiangnan to quell the rebellion without looking back, the court had spent several years continuously inserting civil and military officials at all levels into the prefectures and counties in Shandong, trying every means to squeeze out Sun Tu's subordinates from military and political affairs. As the real place of Sun Tu's fortune, Qingzhou, was a top priority. Ma Gui was responsible for seizing the military power of the city and guarding the Sun Tu's party members headed by Huang Wenbing.

In the past few years of collisions, Ma Gui has indeed completed the tasks assigned to him by the court quite well. At least now, nearly 10,000 troops in the city are in his control. Huang Wenbing, the prefect, has no government orders, and it can be said that there is almost no threat.

But since the court issued a strict order to ask Ma Gui to kill Huang Wenbing this time, he naturally had no choice but to obey the order and rushed to the government office in the snow. Looking at the servants inside and outside the government office looking at him with fear and awe, Ma Gui felt more happy. As soon as he stepped into the door, he decisively ordered: "Closing all doors and not letting anyone go, but if anyone dares to break through, he will kill him without any matter!" As he spoke, he drew his sword in his hand and came straight to the second hall.

Just when he first arrived in front of the second hall arch, he saw Huang Wenbing, who seemed to have noticed, greeted him with a discomfort. After seeing Ma Gui, Huang Wenbing was a little stunned and then asked: "Ma Dujian came to the door today and didn't know what to order?"

Ma Gui kept walking, but said, "I dare not take the order. I just received the order from the court to come to handle the office."

"Court? What are the instructions of the court?" As if he felt the murderous aura on Ma Gui's body, Huang Wenbing said, and the man stepped back and stared at the steel knife in his hand: "Ma Dujian, this command does not require a knife to come with this command, right?"

"If you just send an order, you naturally don't need to hold a knife, but it's different to take people." Ma Gui said as he paused, and then ordered: "According to the order of the court, he would capture the rebellious accomplices Huang Wenbing and others. Those who dare to resist will be executed on the spot! Come on!" With a knife, the twenty or thirty personal soldiers who entered the second hall with him had decisively rushed over and were about to take Huang Wenbing on the spot.

Huang Wenbing's face changed again, and his body immediately retreated into the hall, shouting: "I am the fifth-rank prefect of Qingzhou. I want to take me with just one word. Is there any other way to the king?"

"King Fa? Whoever has the power of military power here is the king's law!" Ma Gui smiled grimly, and even he rushed forward with a quick step. It was obvious that he wanted to personally feel the pleasure of capturing civil servants with military officers. After all, there were not many such opportunities in the Song Dynasty.

Seeing this, the other subordinates were naturally excited and rushed to Huang Wenbing with a scolding. Then, they heard a familiar sound of bowstrings. In amazement, a row of black shadows came in front of them. Before they had their next reaction, dozens of short arrows had been shot into their bodies one after another. At first, more than a dozen soldiers fell down immediately, and the ones behind were like Ma Gui, exclaimed in surprise and quickly waved their weapons in their hands to block the arrows.

It was not until this time that Ma Gui discovered that on the roof of the two halls, there were twenty or thirty men wearing white jackets holding small crossbows and shooting arrows down. It turned out that the other party had already set up an ambush here in the morning and was just waiting for him to come to the door. Because he was too careless, the other party was secretly hiding in the snow in white clothes, which caused them to be caught off guard until they fired the arrows.

"Run over and take Huang Wenbing first!" Ma Gui saw that Huang Wenbing had retreated into the hall, and he was so anxious that he roared angrily, and at the same time, he wanted to chase him.

However, the arrows were too fast and too dense, and there were almost no pauses. In addition, the distance between the two sides was too short, maybe Ma Gui could still deal with it, but the soldiers under his command could only barely resist it, so for a moment, he had to rush into the open hall door alone, and a few more screams were heard behind him.

But just when Ma Gui thought he had found an opportunity and was about to take Huang Wenbing to push his sword, there was a sharp wind on both sides of the hall, and there was an ambush inside! This made him stop and dodge, and the knife in his hand faced the weapon on the left.

When, just as the two weapons intersected, accompanied by a whistle, a Pu sword had already slashed from the front. There were more than two ambush here, and the last person had stronger martial arts skills and was the best at seizing the opportunity. He suddenly started when Ma Gui tried his best to defend himself and exposed the flaws in the middle.

This time, Ma Gui had no time to deal with it, so he could only scream and quickly retreat. However, he obviously forgot a little. The second hall he entered had a half-foot-high threshold. When he retreated, his heel was hitting the threshold, causing his body to froze suddenly and he fell backwards.

Facing the attack of the three people, he lost his balance again. Even though Ma Gui had good martial arts skills, he could not stop him. At that moment, he screamed, his lower abdomen had been cut open with one knife, and his right rib was stabbed in, causing him to fall down immediately.

"You..." Ma Gui gusts of blood, his eyes staring at Shi Shiran standing in front of him, and Huang Wenbing, who was no longer anxious. He already understood that all the other party's performance just now was to attract himself to the point of being in a hurry. However, how could Huang Wenbing have expected his actions, and where did these people come from? In order to deal with him, he had blocked the four gates of Qingzhou three days ago and did not let any suspicious person in there.

Feeling the doubts from Ma Gui, Huang Wenbing only smiled coldly: "Do you think what you see must be the truth? How could the Qingzhou City, which General Sun has worked hard for many years, be able to completely seize power by sending a few officials to the court? I have been tolerating and retreating for many years, just to relax your paralysis. Now, since General Sun has raised an army to clear the ruling, how could my Shandong soldiers be willing to stay here again?"

After hearing this, Ma Gui finally realized how ridiculous his confidence has been in the past few years. With a smirk, he spit out blood again, but he couldn't say a word. After his body twitched, he finally lost his breath.

The subordinates who came with him had already been shot and killed by arrows at this moment, and no one was alive. You must know that in order to kill all these people, Huang Wenbing took out all the crossbows that had been hidden this time, and with the joint attack by Chao Gai and others, it was naturally foolproof.

Chao Gai, who wiped off the blood marks on Park's knife, looked quite calm. He turned to look at Huang Wenbing: "Master Huang, how can we do next?" In the past few years, he has been an Anle Fu family in Qingzhou. He no longer had the bandit spirit of the leader of Liangshan at the time, but there was still a few traces of splendor in his eyes, which made people dare not look down on him.

Huang Wenbing smiled and said, "Don't worry, the king of heaven. Since Ma Gui has already been awarded the title of head, no one in Qingzhou City can pose a threat to us. There are General Qi and Prison Chai Tong who have just returned from the military camp to take charge of the overall situation. I believe that it will take not too long to pull everyone to our side!"

Yes, Qi Desheng was sent back to Shandong by Sun Tu a few months ago, and what they were waiting for today. As a former general of the Qingzhou Army, Qi Desheng was very capable and reputational. Even if he could not compare with Dong Ping and Yue Fei who emerged later, his influence in the Shandong army was still there. In addition, Chai Jin, who has always been generous and versatile, helped them, it was naturally not difficult for them to get the military camp without Ma Gui in charge of the overall situation.

This is true. At the same time, Qi Desheng was speaking generously: "Brothers, do you still remember how happy and proud we were when General Sun was there? At that time, we were the great heroes in the minds of the people. We could be called good by the villagers wherever we go. Who would not be proud of joining our Qingzhou army? But now, since the arrival of Magui, what have we been like? Do you still want to turn into piles of mud that was trampled on the soles of people and can't even lift their heads?

"Now, our chance to turn over has finally come! General Sun not only fought off the Liao people in the north and recaptured the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun, but also led his army south to seek justice for our soldiers and others. A hundred years of humiliation! Do you know what the banner General Sun raised up this time? To eliminate the thieves and the monarchs, the soldiers of the Song Dynasty should be self-improvement! Isn't this what our Qingzhou army has always been proud of? So, it is time for the soldiers to stand up and let the people in the world know the power of our Qingzhou army again, and go to join General Sun!"

Chai Jin immediately followed up and said, "As for the money and food issues that you are worried about, I Chai Jin will take out all my property to support you! I know you have suffered in the past few years, but now, everything is over!"

After these words, all the soldiers immediately became excited. The soldiers who had had enough of Ma Gui and others' grievances finally roared: "We are willing to follow General Sun, take back everything we deserve again, kill to Tokyo, and kill all the corrupt officials!"

When this flame is ignited again, everything will be completely different. Not to mention that Ma Gui has been killed, even if he escapes alive, the Qingzhou official army will never obey his command at this time. After all, this is the place where Sun Tu rises, so how could it be completely controlled by a few officials sent by the court?

But before the rebellion, Huang Wenbing and others had something to do, that is, to capture all the officials sent by the court in the city, and then behead them in public. Overnight, hundreds of heads fell to the ground.
