Chapter 239: Intimidation and bribery to get on the pirate ship

The local officials were silent for a moment, and then they couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Come on, who doesn't know you, Gongsun Wu?"

"You are a native of Tongmen Pass, and you have never been out of Tongmen Pass in your life. You say that you are a close confidant of Concubine Zhang. You are too funny."

No one was willing to believe Gongsun Wu's words.

Concubine Zhang had never been to Tongmen Pass, and Gongsun Wu had never been out of Tongmen Pass. If he was a close confidant of Concubine Zhang, then they would all be close friends of Concubine Zhang.

"Besides, even if Concubine Zhang wants to make allies, she should make allies like us. Why would she make allies like you?"

"That's right. Why would Concubine Zhang make allies like you?" Everyone laughed

at Gongsun Wu.

Gongsun Wu took out the "token": "Do you see this piece of colorful glazed jade?"

"This is the sacred stone left by the goddess when she repaired the sky."

"How can I, a small county magistrate, afford such an item? If it wasn't given by Concubine Gui, where did you get it from?"

Everyone looked at the so-called colorful glazed jade, and they were all amazed by this "jade".

The color of this jade is very rare.

As officials, they have seen many good things, but they have never seen such beautiful colorful jade.

This thing is so beautiful, it must be worth a lot of money, it may really be a token of the Imperial Concubine.

The way they looked at Gongsun Wu was different.

No wonder Gongsun Wu was appointed as the county magistrate at such a young age.

No wonder Mubei suddenly changed all the officials.

It turned out that Imperial Concubine Zhang had already started to lay out the plan at that time?

They couldn't help but take a breath.

Imperial Concubine Zhang's hand was so long.

Their Tongmen Pass is so far away from the capital, and the Imperial Concubine can control it silently. Her strength is terrifying.

They underestimated the Imperial Concubine before.

Everyone's tone towards Gongsun Wu became much milder: "It's not that we don't support the imperial concubine, but as ministers, how can we do such a treasonous thing?"

"That's right, we just said before that we would not expose the imperial concubine, and we didn't say we would rebel."

"That's right, not exposing and rebelling are two different things, don't confuse the two."

These people are typical greedy and afraid of death, and don't want to offend both sides.

Gongsun Wu sighed deeply.

"Although I have not been in office for a long time, everyone has taken good care of me. I really want to share the glory with everyone."

"I thought that if everyone surrendered with me,

they would become founding heroes in the future." "In that case, don't blame me."

"Azhi..."

Li Zhi walked slowly into the hall with several generals rescued from the Tang family army.

Li Zhi held a heavy sword in his hand and looked fiercely at one of the officials.

Li Zhi did not know what kind of officials these people were. He just killed whoever was closest to him.

Seeing that someone was dead, some officials were so scared that they sat down on the ground.

"Dead, dead."

At this time, Gan Fanren walked in from outside. Gongsun Wu hurriedly stood up and respectfully gave Gan Fanren a seat.

"Sir, please sit down."

Gan Fanren took out a few pieces of paper.

"Sign these pieces of paper. From now on, we are grasshoppers on a rope. We will share happiness and hardship. If you don't sign, don't blame me for being rude to you."

Looking at the papers in Gan Fanren's hand, many people finally understood.

"I was wondering how Gongsun Wu, who had never been out of Tongmen Pass, could suddenly contact Concubine Gui. It turns out there was someone else involved."

"What I admire most is people like you who dare to think and act. I will sign this paper."

A middle-aged man stood up and signed on the paper.

When he signed, his breath was short.

What was written on this paper was that they agreed to join the rebellion!

Concubine Zhang's name and Gongsun Wu's name were not on the paper.

If they were caught, they would be the only ones who would have to go to jail and pay the price.

This meant that as long as they signed this paper, they would hand their lives over to Concubine Zhang, but Concubine Zhang had no leverage over them.

This was too unfair.

But at this time, they were trapped in this small room and had no qualifications to negotiate.

If you don't sign, you will die now. If you sign, you may not die.

We are all smart people, and we will understand the interests involved.

But no one wants to be the first one.

After someone signed, everyone signed one after another.

Gan Fanren put the paper away, and he smiled elegantly: "Today we have become allies, and we will work together in the future. I will not treat you badly."

"These are just a little gift, I hope you will accept them."

Gan Fanren clapped his hands, and many people came in with boxes.

When they opened the boxes, they found that the boxes were filled with the property of the two brothers Sun Xing and Sun Hu.

If they had been lucky before and thought that all this was just a farce, when they saw these treasures, they clearly realized that Concubine Zhang had really killed people and was really going to rebel.

How arrogant!

She was simply too arrogant!

After killing the two brothers Sun Xing and Sun Hu, she didn't hide it, but she actually made such a big fuss.

This Concubine Zhang was too cruel!

"I'm giving you a gift. Do you like it?"

Gan Fanren stretched out his hand and looked at them with a smile.

"Why don't you accept it? Don't you like it?"

Li Zhi waved his long sword impatiently: "My eldest brother gave you something, how dare you not accept it?"

They had just seen Li Zhi kill people, and they were scared. When they heard Li Zhi's words, they hurriedly trembled and chose a few things.

Choosing these things means that they are completely on Concubine Zhang's pirate ship.

If His Majesty investigates one day, they will find that there are the property of two General Sun in their mansion, and they will have no way to explain it.

"There is no need to report the affairs of General Sun. I will find someone to take over the Sun Family Army."

"All you need to do is shut up and keep the secret."

Gan Fanren didn't understand the management of the military camp, but fortunately he had saved the soldiers of the Tang Family Army before.

He immediately arranged for the soldiers of the Tang Family Army to take over the Sun Family Army.

Tang Jue, the lieutenant general who had participated in stripping people's clothes with Gongsun Yue before, was the beggar rescued by Tang Shi.

Tang Shi had a keen eye and found that he was very talented, so he named him Tang Jue and brought him to the Tang Family Army.

Tang Jue was very strong and capable. He was one of the people who were hung up this time.

He was young and strong, and recovered the fastest. The others were not as lucky as him. They were a little older and had old injuries on their bodies. After such an incident, they had to recuperate for a while.

Therefore, they unanimously elected Tang Jue to manage the barracks.
