Chaos begins with the death of a fat man.

The tall and thin man's sudden surprise shocked the few people who followed him, and when his blood-red eyes swept over the people behind him, all of them stood in place with a chill, their bodies trembling, and the excessive fright even made them forget and run away.

The tall and thin man, as if he had lost interest in them, walked under the plane tree, picked up his triangular eyes with difficulty, and hobbled in the direction of home.

Soon after, the news of Triangle Eye's death reached their foreman, and after receiving the news, the workers under Liu Tou who worked with Triangle Eye rushed from their respective residences to the small courtyard rented by Triangle Eye with shocked faces and heavy sadness.

"This ...... What's going on? What's going on?" As soon as Liu Tou entered the door of the small courtyard, he saw the cold corpse of the triangular eye, and the village woman next to him who was wailing loudly, this woman was the mother-in-law of the triangular eye.

The tall and thin man didn't say a word when he heard this, just squatted there, looking blankly at the triangular eyes lying on the straw mat, as if he was reminiscing, or just because of the uneasiness in his heart after the first killing.

Liu Tou asked a few times again, but the tall and thin man was still silent like a dead man, and the workers who got the news at this moment rushed over one after another, and Liu Tou, who couldn't get an answer, had to ask people to take care of the aftermath for the triangular eye.

Find a person to give a few pieces of money, and tell him to go to the shroud shop to buy a coffin, the brothers have no work to do these days, Liu Tou knows that the triangle eye can't even eat at home, so naturally it is impossible to have this coffin.

It's just that the people who went out haven't returned yet, and a high-pitched voice sounded outside the courtyard: "Lizhutou, this is it! The murderer is inside!"

The sound made the tall thin man huddled in the corner tremble.

Soon, the wooden door of the small courtyard was brutally pushed open, and several merchants in fancy clothes surrounded several fishers in soap clothes and broke in.

"You...... Who are you looking for?" Liu Tou, who was in charge of the courtyard, asked calmly as he looked at the few people who entered the courtyard.

"It's none of your business!" scolded, an angry businessman who looked to be in his thirties.

This person stretched out his hand to brush aside Liu Tou, searched the courtyard for a moment, and then pointed to the tall thin man curled up in the corner and said loudly to a catcher behind him: "Li Catcher, it's him!

The head catcher surnamed Li immediately walked up to the tall and thin man, leaned over and said, "This old man Wang accused you of killing Master Li Fu Li, do you admit your guilt?"

Seeing this, the young businessman surnamed Wang followed behind the catchers, tiptoeing at the tall and thin man who had been surrounded, and shouted from time to time: "Stinky beggar! Don't want to deny it, master, I deliberately followed you all the way just now, and I will never be mistaken!"

"This ...... This must be a misunderstanding! Misunderstanding! I'm usually honest, and I don't even dare to scold my wife, how can I kill someone?" Liu Tou was surprised when he heard this, and hurriedly leaned up and hurried at a few catchers.

"Oh, don't try to deny it!" Li Zhutou, look! This guy still has blood stains on his body!" The young man surnamed Wang squeezed Liu Tou away violently, stretched out his hand and pointed at the tall and thin man and said to Li Zhutou.

Li Zhutou carefully looked at the clothes on the tall and thin man's body, and there were indeed some red and white stains on them.

"No! No, these blood stains belong to my dead brother, you see, my brother also bleeds, and he carried him all the way back, and he will definitely have blood stains on his body!" Liu Tou gestured to Li Zhutou.

Just as the head of the calendar was about to walk over to check the dead triangular eye, the tall and thin man stood up and said, "No need!

"See, see! This stinky beggar has confessed to himself! What else do you have to say?" the young man surnamed Wang shouted loudly when he saw the tall and thin man confessing his guilt.

"What are you talking about, your head is burning!" Liu Tou hurriedly walked up, slapped the back of the tall and thin man's head, and shouted in a low voice.

"That fat man crushed my brother to death, and I am just avenging him!" After the initial fear, the tall and thin man seemed to resign himself to his fate.

"What?" After listening to the tall and thin man's words, Liu Tou looked obviously stunned, and slowly turned his head to look at the triangular eyes that were still lying on the straw mat, the collapsed chest had been puzzled by Liu Tou before, it turned out that ...... And so it was!

"Don't tell my daughter-in-law, she has gone back to her parents' house these days, and when she comes back, she will say that I went to sea, and when I come back, I will definitely earn her a lot of money!

"Let's go, Lord Catcher!" said the tall and thin man calmly to the head catcher.

Li Catcher nodded, waved his hand back, and a catcher quickly put the iron chain he brought on the head of the tall and thin man, tied it and left with someone.

After listening to the confession of the tall and thin man, and then looking at the death of the triangular eye, Li Zhutou can naturally understand what happened, although he sympathizes with the other party's suffering, but killing people pays for his life, this is the law of the country, and he naturally has no right to violate a small head catcher.

Moreover, today's head of the calendar is too busy, and there is no extra time for him to delay this case......

Early this morning, with the rise of land prices, the excited businessmen ran around in the city to tell each other, and a burst of enthusiasm seemed to wash away the haze accumulated in Yangzhou for many days, but in the days when the businessmen were excited, the security of Yangzhou City was on the verge of collapse.

In the past half a month, almost all the businessmen in Yangzhou City have been obsessed with land speculation, and normal business has gradually been neglected, which has an almost fatal impact on a city with a highly developed business like Yangzhou.

At first, the service industry was deserted, and then it spread to all major industries in the city. Without the sea vessels, the workers at the wharf had no food, the maritime merchants did not come, and the warehouses specializing in seafood had no business, and with the intensification of land transactions, the crazy merchants sold their own shops one after another, and the unstable state of dìng made the industries closely related to the people such as silk and satin villages, grain and oil shops were also greatly affected.

At this point, the situation is out of control, and chaos is inevitable.

A large number of men are unemployed, and a large number of workers are overwhelmed, roaming around the city with a hollow belly.

This morning's good news has completely ignited the flames that have been suppressed in the hearts of the workers! The workers, who had been hungry for many days, rushed into the grain stores and stopped the rich merchants who were running down the streets. Grab food! Grab copper money! Just to survive!

The disorderly looting soon turned into a large-scale riot, beating, smashing, looting, and burning were staged one after another, and the city of Yangzhou was already in chaos.

Those robbed shops and wealthy merchants came to the Taishou Yamen to report the case, and the Taishou Tong Yu, who received the news, hurriedly sent soldiers and servants to various parts of the city, and it didn't take long for the cells of the Taishou Yamen to be filled, but the riots in the city continued.

Human nature is like this, for example, when a window is intact, it will not attract the prying eyes of passers-by, but once the window is opened, even if it is just out of curiosity, it will attract many eyes.

After seeing someone taking the lead, more and more people joined the team of smashing and looting.

A grain shop in the west of Yangzhou City, that is the largest grain store in Yangzhou, as soon as the autumn harvest season, a convoy of grain will drive into this nearby grain shop from the west gate. Only today, this large-scale grain shop is full of devastation, broken windows everywhere, cracked desks, tattered sacks and rice grains everywhere left on the ground, the snow-white rice grains have been covered with dust, but the old shopkeeper still picks up and puts them one by one with trembling hands, and his cloudy eyes are filled with crystal tears.

"Grain, my food!" the voice was low, desolate, and pathetic.

……

In a courtyard in the north of Yangzhou City, the exquisite garden has long been changed, the delicate flowers have been ruthlessly broken, the flowers have been trampled into the soil, and the dark soil is dotted with a few bright red patches everywhere.

The rockery was knocked down, and the whole fell into the fish pond on the side, and the koi in the pond were smashed to death, floating on the water with a snow-white belly, and some were followed by a carp that had been reluctant to leave for a long time, perhaps its partner, and was calling each other in vain.

The rooms in the courtyard had already been visited by crazy people, but everything of value was taken away, and everything that could not be taken away was also smashed, and even the gold leaf on the pillars was stripped and taken away.

There were the wails of the people everywhere, pools of bright red blood could be seen everywhere on the ground, and the few most active resistants, trying to make meritorious contributions in front of their masters, were lying on the cold ground and convulsing constantly, their consciousness began to blur, and their bodies gradually became cold.

In a main hall in the middle of the courtyard, the only ones who could be considered intact were two people hugging and crying, one large and one small. The two were a man and a woman, the woman looked to be only in her twenties, but the man was only a child of six or seven years old, dressed gorgeously, but the jewelry pendant and other things on his body had long since disappeared.

Fortunately, when the young woman arrived in the crazy crowd, she hurriedly threw out all the valuable jewelry on her body, and even the heirloom jade pendant hanging around her son's neck was decisively discarded, which brought the peace of the mother and son, and the beautiful young woman was not humiliated for this.

"Haha! Lady, my husband is back! I want to tell you good news, our family's land has increased more than ten times now!"

A hearty laugh came from outside the courtyard, and then a young man in his thirties walked in through the gate.

When the young man's gaze swept over the dilapidated courtyard, the laughter stopped abruptly.

"Turf, Turf, Turf, Turf, Turf, Turf,

The young woman's terrible cry resounded throughout the courtyard, and floated into the air, and spread far and wide......
