Li Baiyou Huizhou once left a poem: "I heard that Jinhuadu, five hundred beaches in the east, he joined hands in the year and rocked the oars into Xin'an." ”

This poem also shows that from Jinhua to Xin'an River, you can go directly to Huizhou.

The route of this group of Japanese robbers is from Ningbo into the Qiantang River and then into the Xin'an River, and Zuihou enters Huizhou from the Xin'an River, and this way has also gathered a lot of water bandits and bandits, all of whom are outlaws, and there are more than 800 people in Huizhou.

And there are also scheming people in this group of widows, first during the day, let people make up and sneak into Huizhou City, Zuihou took advantage of the middle of the night to make trouble, and came to meet the outside, but in the middle of the night to seize the gate of the East City, broke into the city.

The garrison of Huizhou was only 200 people, and its combat strength could not be compared with the Japanese who were on the sea all the year round, and the nearby guard post was still more than 30 miles away from the city.

In addition, as soon as the Japanese invaded the city, they lit fires everywhere, and for a time there was chaos in the city.

"Why did the Japanese suddenly come to Huizhou? It also silently attacked the city, which is too incredible. Zhen Niang clenched her fists tightly, gritted her teeth and said, I really don't believe it, although some places in the Ming Dynasty are really chaotic during this period, but the order in Huizhou is still in order, bandits or something on weekdays, but if there is chaos, it will be suppressed by the joint guard of officers and soldiers.

The people are counted as living and working in peace and contentment.

"The Japanese changed into the clothes of my Ming people, and mixed with the mountain bandits and water bandits, gathered nearly a thousand people, and still acted in batches, day and night, this is a premeditated operation. If it weren't for the knives in the hands of some Japanese robbers and their words that leaked their identities, everyone would have thought it was a bandit or a popular rebellion at first. Luo Wenqian also said with a cold face.

Zhen Niang nodded, because of the past two years. Earthquakes and disasters occur frequently. Turmoil and uprisings have occurred from time to time. Some time ago, there was an uprising of stone factory workers in Jiangxi

"So what now?" At this time, Zhenniang asked anxiously, I didn't expect that there were nearly a thousand people gathered, this would definitely be a big mess, and at this time, Li Jingfu and Zhao on the side were also shocked when they heard about this situation.

"Hurry up, the pirates and bandits have broken through the east gate. I went straight to Sibao Street, but the Yamen was not strong enough, and the chaos at night made it necessary to make room to stop the Japanese and mountain bandits, so the residents of Sibao Street had to be moved. Luo Wenqian said.

He has the position of guarding the office, although he is donating money, but at this time, he also has to do his best, so as soon as the matter happened, he received the news. He gathered his guards and joined the anti-Japanese and anti-bandit action.

It's just that it's night, and there are several fires together. The people were in chaos, officers and soldiers, bandits, and the people were all intertwined, and the officers and soldiers were already few, and they were scattered if they were rushed by the people, and the families and villagers of each family also had to guard the homes of their families, so they could not organize large-scale resistance for a while, so the prefect recruited all functional officials and some villagers to discuss countermeasures.

And obviously, the Japanese and the mountain bandits are going to Sibao Street, Sibao Street is currently the most prosperous area in Huizhou, and there are several big families, the Japanese and mountain bandits want to rob property, so they naturally have to go to this, in this era, the homes of ordinary people, there is really no surplus food, and they can't grab things at all.

Everyone understands this.

Therefore, the only plan for the present is to first block the officers and soldiers of the Yamen desperately for a while, delay the time, let the people of Sibao Street evacuate, and then let the Japanese bandits and mountain bandits enter the area of Basi Bao Street. There are many streets and alleys in this area, and if the Japanese and mountain bandits want to plunder, they will inevitably be scattered, and then organize the officers and soldiers and the villagers to engage in street battles with the Japanese and mountain bandits, and block these people in the alleys everywhere, and when the soldiers of the guard station arrive, they will be able to wipe them out.

Of course, this is an assumption, what will happen to Zuihou, everyone doesn't count in their hearts, and they can't think about it so much, after all, it's a desperate fight. Let these people plunder and leave calmly.

Luo Wenqian said.

At this moment, a gong sounded outside, which was an urgent notice from the yamen yacha.

"The east gate has been broken, and the people in the area of Sibao Street will be immediately transferred to the Yamen of South Street, and again, the people in the area of Sibao Street will be immediately transferred to the Yamen of South Street." A few shouts were followed by a few gongs.

At this time, the door was pushed open again, and Li Dalang and Li Zhengxi also returned. Both of them were shocked, and the situation they found was the same as what Luo Wenqian said.

"Daddy, now the yacha and some villagers are blocking the Japanese bandits and mountain bandits, let's evacuate quickly, the Japanese bandits and mountain bandits are coming here, there are few officers and soldiers, and it won't last long." Li Dalang said eagerly.

"Okay, pack up and evacuate." Li Jingfu said, and then turned to Li Dalang: "Dalang, you hurry up and inform your seventh grandmother and them, and then help them evacuate." "There are no strong men in the seventh room, all women and children, and they need helpers on their side.

“haode。” Li Dalang answered.

"Big brother, I'm with you." Zhen Niang said, no matter what, she is still Li Mo's big shopkeeper now, and she can't put it down in the seventh room of the Li family, saying that, Zhen Niang glanced back at Luo Wenqian again.

Luo Wenqian knows Zhen Niang's thoughts, although there are men in the eighth room, but there are also many women, Wu's, Zheng's, Zhao's, plus Du's, and two babies, Xiaoguan'er and Huiguan'er. Some people are to be extra careful.

"Don't worry, go and come back quickly. Your father and mother, they will be handed over to me. Luo Wenqian stepped forward to hold Zhen Niang's hand and said, and asked Luo Wuzi to follow Zhen Niang and help take care of the seventh room.

Zhen Niang nodded heavily, and then took out her hand from Luo Wenqian's hand and followed Li Dalang to the seventh room.

There is such chaos in the city, it is impossible for the seven rooms not to know, and they will also get together at this time.

"Seventh grandma, let a few aunts hurry up and pack up some things and retreat to South Street first." As soon as Zhen Niang arrived, she hurriedly said to Mrs. Li and several aunts. On the other hand, Xiao Tianyou also pursed his lips, his face was cold, and he clenched his fists. Although there was a little helplessness in his eyes, he still tried his best to pretend to be calm, and he was comforting his mother and grandson.

This little guy is slowly growing into the pillar of the Li family's seventh room.

"Yes, Seventh Grandma, you can't delay. The officers and soldiers don't know how long they can hold up for a while. Listening to the hissing sound is getting closer and closer. On the other hand, Li Dalang also said eagerly. I'm afraid that Grandma Seven won't be able to let go of everything in this family.

"Okay." Old Madam Li has always been a decisive person, and she knew that this was not the time to give up her wealth outside her body, so she immediately said to Li Dalang: "Don't clean it up, Da Lang, you take a few of your aunts and Xiao Tianyou and leave immediately." ”

"Seventh Grandma, what about you?" On the other hand, Li Zhenniang asked eagerly.

"I've got some stuff to pack up here, over there. I'll be with you in a moment. Mrs. Li said.

The ink library is the top priority of the Li family, not to mention anything else, those notes and the ink of the past dynasties have to be cleaned up, whether it is robbed or burned, it is a heavy blow to the Li family, Zhen Niang came over, that is, she was concerned about the matter of the ink library, and at this time she said: "Seventh grandmother, you go first." I'll clean up the contents of the inkhouse. ”

"There are some things you don't know, or I'll come." Old Madam Li said in a deep voice.

"Then I'll accompany Grandma Seven." Where is Zhen Niang willing to rest assured that Mrs. Li will stay alone. Zi said hurriedly.

"Okay, come on." Mrs. Li knew that this girl was not worried about her, so she nodded, turned around and waved her hand to let Li Dalang take a few aunts to go first, and several aunts had already brought some valuable jewelry on their bodies at this time, and nodded at Mrs. Li and Li Zhenniang, and then pulled Li Tianyou, and followed Li Dalang out of the door under the leadership of several mothers.

And here Luo Wuzi followed Zhenniang into the Li family, and Luo Wenqian gave an order to Luo Wuzi not to leave Zhenniang's side for a moment to protect Zhenniang.

So, Zhen Niang and Luo Wuzi helped Mrs. Li into the Buddhist hall.

"Wu Zi, you are waiting at the door, this is a secret related to my Li family." At this time, Mrs. Li said to Luo Wuzi again.

Luo Wuzi listened to the secrets related to the Li family, nodded and went out, closing the door, but he stayed outside the door and did not leave a step.

And Zhen Niang was about to rush into the ink library and take those important notes away, but Mrs. Li stopped her.

"Zhen Niang, the ink library is the foundation of my Li family's century-old foundation, so the ancestors of the Li family are all cautious about the construction of the ink library. And Li's ink library, there are really two libraries of true and false, you have to keep in mind. At this time, Mrs. Li said to Li Zhenniang, and stepped forward and walked to the edge of the Buddha shrine, on which there was a prominent mahogany handle, the old lady twisted, and then pressed down hard, and immediately the entire Buddha shrine moved up to the side, just blocking the door of the ink library, not even the slightest gap, if Zhen Niang knew that it was the door of the ink library, there was no entrance at all.

At the same time, where the shrine was removed, there was a door, and the door was opened with the same key, and then Mrs. Li beckoned to Li Zhenniang, Li Zhenniang followed the old lady in, only to find that it was exactly the same layout as the ink library in front, and even there were some ink on the shelf, and even the notes were complete.

"This ......" situation, Zhen Niang is really eye-opening.

"This is the fake library, I sealed the real library with a Buddhist shrine, and the walls of the real library are all built with a whole piece of big bluestone, and there is sand in it, which is fireproof, and ordinary fires can't burn in." Old Madam Li said.

When Zhen Niang heard this, she couldn't help but be overjoyed: "This is great, so I am not afraid of losing the ink library." Zhen Niang said, thinking that time was pressing, and said to Mrs. Li: "Then madam, deal with it, let's leave quickly, a few aunts are still worried." ”

"Okay, let's go." Old Madam Li glanced around again, then nodded and said to Zhenniang.

Zhen Niang helped the old lady, and when she went up the steps, she found that there was a small groove on the side of the wall. There's also some oily stuff in there.

"Old lady, what is this little groove for?" Zhenniang asked as she helped the old lady out of the fake vault.

The old lady didn't reply, just smiled, then closed the door, locked it again, and took out a portrait of Guanyin to hang above the door, so it happened to block the door, so that even the fake inkhouse could not be seen.

As soon as the outsiders came in, they only saw a small room with a Buddhist shrine in it, and a portrait of Guanyin hung on the side of the Buddhist altar, and there was nothing else in this room.

Who would have thought that in the same place, there would be two ink libraries, real and fake, hidden.

It's really a good thought, the ancestors of the Li family have great powers. Zhenniang sighed in her heart.

"Let's go." Seeing that everything was no longer a problem, Mrs. Li waved her hand, and Zhenniang helped her out of the house. On the other hand, Luo Wuzi was waiting anxiously. When I saw the two of them come out, I breathed a sigh of relief.

Then the three of them hurriedly walked out together, and at this time, the Li family's mansion was empty.

"Old Madam Li, Miss Li, where are you going?" Just when Zhen Niang and the others were about to walk out of the gate of the Li family, at the door, Lian Ji Yingsong appeared at the gate of the Li family with his hands behind his back, and behind him were all Japanese with Japanese knives. Needless to say, the Li family has been surrounded.
