"What is that?" Xie Qi frowned and looked at the direction of the arrow, the bad feeling in his heart became stronger and stronger, and he turned his head to look at the person who came: "What happened in the city?"

"Those rich people in the city suddenly joined forces, and they came out, and they were driving out our cultists everywhere. The thief will panic.

"What about the people in the city?" Xie Qi was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly asked.

"Both...... Most of them are here. The thief looked at Xie Qi carefully.

It's all here? How is that possible?

Xie Qi looked around in a daze, at this moment he stood in an open field, looking around, except for the corpse, it was a sea of rebels gathered, at a glance, he couldn't see the edge, he knew that there were many rebels in Fengjing, but because of the haste of the incident, and he was imprisoned by Jiang Qiao before, in addition to these elites around him, Xie Qi suddenly found that he didn't know how many people there were under his hands.

"What's the matter with that arrow?" Xie Qi remembered the previous arrow, and he hadn't given any order to release the arrow.

"I don't know, it should be a signal from the gentry, right?" the thief shook his head, his face blank.

I'm afraid it's more than that!

Xie Qi suddenly felt a little chill in his heart, and more importantly, he didn't know what he should do next? whether to attack this treasury with all his strength first, or to turn around first and pacify those rebellious wealthy clans.

But soon, he didn't have to think about it, he saw that the gate of the treasury suddenly opened, and Jiang Wan led Wang Hai, Yeluqi, Fang Yue, Meng Dan and almost all the troops in the city to rush out, wielding weapons and killing them.

"Looking for death!" Seeing this, Xie Qi was not surprised, Jiang was weak and they were hiding in the treasury, with high walls and barriers, plus the assistance of bows and arrows, he had nothing to do, and now when he went out of the city, even if these people were covered in iron, he didn't think that the other party had the ability to outnumber the crowd and do so many of them.

It's just that Xie Qi obviously ignored one point, these people of his, after most of the day of fighting, not only exhausted their physical strength, but even their morale was extremely low because of the setbacks and the continuous death of their companions.

I saw that the countless rebel sect members did not have contact with Jiang Qiao's men and horses at all, and almost ran away when they saw people, and wherever Jiang Qiao's men and horses passed, they either turned around and ran or knelt on the ground to ask for surrender, and no one dared to fight.

"Quick, order them to besiege Jiang Weak, they are not many in number, we are several times the enemy, don't be afraid!" Xie Qi sat on horseback, shouted anxiously, and commanded the guards around him to step forward and act as a supervising team.

It's just that no matter how the overseer team urges, those rebel sect members who have long lost their morale and have no physical strength turn a deaf ear, and even some of the overseers want to repeat their old tricks and kill people, but they were thrown to the ground by the red-eyed sect members, and they were instantly annihilated in the crowd.

A very absurd scene appeared, thousands of rebel sect members were chased by even less than one-fifth of their own number of officers and soldiers, Xie Qi originally wanted to let his elite troops go up to block the enemy's sharp spirit, but before the overseer team rushed up, they were squeezed back by their own sect members, and the scene was very chaotic.

"My lord, the general trend has gone, let's run first!" Several rebel thieves will surround Xie Qi and follow the crowd in the opposite direction to Jiang Qiao.

"Chase, but don't force them too hard, just drive them out of the city. Jiang Qiao looked at the direction in which Xie Qi and the others were leaving, and instructed everyone.

Fang Yue and the others followed the order, constantly clamoring and intimidating in the rear, but they didn't really come forward to fight, others couldn't see anything, but Xie Qi sensed Jiang Qiao's meaning, this was to drive himself and others out of the city, and if they didn't rush in, they were afraid that these people would fight back in despair.

"There are not many of them, and they should fight bravely to kill the enemy at this time, brothers, kill back with me!" Xie Qi roared heartbreakingly in the crowd, but his voice was quickly drowned out by the chaotic sound of the crowd.

On both sides of the road, a group of people will be killed from time to time, and they will not rush forward to fight, just shout and threaten, under the dim light and shadow, but see the shadows, I don't know how many people, if on weekdays, they can fight, but at this moment these rebels have become frightened birds, where will they tell, just according to the route planned by Jiang Qiao before, and gradually drive towards the direction of Dongcheng.

Xie Qi saw through Jiang Qiao's intentions, but he was powerless to stop it, so he could only be driven away like cattle by the crowd, for the first time, Xie Qi felt the gap between the rebels and the imperial court, these untrained sect members, in many cases, the large number of people became a factor that hindered themselves.

With the help of a group of gentry, it took an hour to finally drive Xie Qi and the main force of the rebels out of the city, and as the heavy city gate slowly closed, Xie Qi, who had been surrounded by everyone and came outside the city, closed his eyes in despair.

"Close the four gates, arrange people to guard the city, and strictly prevent the rebels and traitors from coming back, Dong Ping, you go to Zhangbang to settle the people. After finally driving the rebels out of the city, Jiang Wan immediately ordered the four gates to be closed.

"Wow!" Dong Ping said yes when he heard the words and left in a hurry.

"Fang Yue. Jiang Wan looked at Fang Yue again.

"The end will be. ”

"There are too many dead bodies, it is easy to cause a plague, we don't have many people, and the soldiers also need to take turns to rest, you organize the people to gather the corpses in the city to burn, this matter needs to be done as soon as possible. Jiang said in a deep voice.

In ancient times, great wars were usually followed by large-scale plagues, which some people thought was a punishment from heaven, but in fact it was caused by the accumulation of too many corpses, and it was not impossible to prevent it.

In fact, similar theories have appeared in this era, where there are many corpses, plague is prone to occur, but there is no specific statement, so most people don't know.

"Wow!" Fang Yue nodded, and after a salute, he turned around and left to do errands.

"My lord, Duke Zhang led the gentry in the city to ask for a meeting. Yelucai came in from outside the door and bowed to Jiang Wan.

"It just so happens that I have something to look for them, so please let them in. Jiang Wan pressed his temples hard to make himself sober, since the day before yesterday, he has not closed his eyes for two consecutive nights, because of the rebels surrounded, it is relatively tight in spirit, and it is nothing, now that the war is over temporarily, the spirit is relaxed, and he feels a burst of exhaustion.

However, there are still many things to explain at the moment, and I can only continue to stay sober, and Jiang is weak and spiritually strong, if he were an ordinary person, I am afraid that he would have already fallen at this moment.

Soon, Zhang Gong came in with Zhang Wu and more than a dozen gentry who were quite famous in Fengjing, and bowed solemnly to Jiang Qiao: "We only thank the envoy for his great kindness on behalf of the father and elder of this Fengjing, if it weren't for the envoy, our family would no longer exist." ”

"Gong Zhang and all of you, don't be polite. Jiang Qiao's eyes swept over the crowd, and he frowned, "Why don't you see Brother Shen?"

A flash of regret flashed in the eyes of Zhang Yu and the others, and they shook their heads and said, "The Shen family...... It's broken!"

didn't say much, but Jiang Wan already knew the fate of Shen Bai, this uprising was helpless under the oppression of the family, in the chaos, once it was broken, the end could naturally be imagined, from the rebel rebellion to the present, only one city was sealed, and there were ten or even more families that were wiped out.

"Today, we can expel this rebel thief from the city, thanks to your help, and you don't need to be polite if you are weak enough to do your duty. Jiang Wan looked at everyone and smiled.

"Let the king have the grace of reinvention for us, but if there is an order, we will be duty-bound!" Zhang Yu nodded and agreed.

Jiang Wan nodded, didn't shirk any more, and looked at everyone: "Now that there is chaos, the official doesn't know the situation outside, but although the rebels have been expelled from this well, the hidden danger is still there, and the official does have some things, I want to ask you." ”

"Please speak. Everyone obviously didn't expect Jiang Liang to really make a request, and they couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive in their hearts, and the case regretted that they had said too much before.

"First, although the main force of the rebels has retreated, there must be a lot of remnants in the city, but the government is short of manpower, and it is necessary to defend the city, so it is impossible to take into account the security in the city. Jiang Qiao looked at everyone and said slowly.

"There's nothing wrong with that. Zhang Yu and the others nodded and said, Feng Jing'an, then they will also be safe, if Jiang Weak's proposal is on weekdays, they may not agree, but yesterday's incident let them know that Jiang Weak is very powerful, and only with Jiang Weak can they help them protect their homeland.

"Another point. Jiang Wan sat on the seat, motioned for everyone to sit down, and after pondering for a while, he said: "This time the rebels are moving, there can be such a big movement, I think in addition to the rebels are good at demagoguery, but also the people have no way to live, this time there are more than a dozen families because of the rebels, although it is pitiful, but the official hopes that their fields can be taken out and distributed to the people of this well to calm people's hearts, what do you think?"

"This ......" Zhang Yu and the others frowned when they heard this, looked at Jiang Liang and said, "Envoy, will it be too much?"

After this turmoil, the population has been greatly reduced, and there are a lot of fields in the homes of the more than a dozen gentry, although theoretically speaking, these people's fields should be owned by the imperial court after no one inherits them, but this is the sealing of the well, the gentry and wealthy families, there are many intermarriages, and it is too easy to find an heir to come out and take over, Jiang Weak so touched his lips so much, and divided the land that should have belonged to them, which made people feel unhappy, and this was a matter of their vital interests.

"This move is only for the sake of the people, and it can be regarded as a temporary loan from the official, after the expiration of the term of office of the acting official and leaving the well, the matter will naturally be invalidated, of course, even if the official leaves office soon, these lands, the official hopes to let these people enjoy a year's time, so as not to change people's hearts. Jiang said with a smile, it is impossible for him to stay in the sealing well for a long time, so he only needs to solve the current problem, as for the future, it is better to let others have a headache, there is no need to completely offend these people because of this.

Don't look at these people as a family, but together, they can represent the gentry of the entire Fengjing and even Xie Guo, of course, Jiang Wan also left a back hand, if he really stays in office in the future or this is his own root base in the future, then there is also a saying that these lands can be spit out again, at that time, it is time to see the real chapter.

When everyone heard this, Qi Qi breathed a sigh of relief, but if it was borrowed temporarily, it was acceptable, and they all piled up smiling faces and promised it.

Jiang Miao only sneered in his heart, but he didn't break it, and after continuing to talk to everyone, he personally sent everyone out of the mansion.
