The construction efficiency of the camp outside the city is amazing, after all, it is only a place to temporarily contain the rioters, and there is no need to think too much about the solidity and the advantages of attack and defense.

With soil as a barrier and wood as a boundary, there are few winds and snows these days, and you don't even have to think too much about cold protection.

However, this aspect is not without consideration, there are also many warehouses around Xijing City, which store a large number of hemp goods, even if there is any sudden cooling of climate change, you can also organize the productivity of the chaotic people, and quickly make a batch of hemp felt and other things to keep out the cold.

The size of the fortification was growing every day, and at first the people had to climb the tower to watch. Gradually, however, even if you were standing on the flat ground at the city gate, you could see the many barracks laid on the horizon, which made the people feel less and less afraid.

But not all people's mood has gradually stabilized, such as the noble families in the square area on the east side of Suzaku Street, but the mood is becoming more and more anxious and worried.

This time, Wang Shi's entry into the customs and chaos can be said to be contrary to their imagination from the beginning.

If King Yong sent people into the city to visit the families and extort goods, although these people were dissatisfied, it was always a normal operation.

Then the other actions that followed were completely beyond their imagination, even if they didn't feel any clear malice, but they couldn't help but have a sense of crisis in their hearts, a sense of panic and powerlessness that they couldn't control the situation.

Especially before, when they were about to go to Bashang to worship King Yong, but they were drunk back by King Yong's soldiers just after leaving the city, this bad feeling became more and more intense.

"What does King Yong mean by this? Xun Xun is different, but he relies on the military might, does not distinguish between good and bad, and directly blocks our and other princes in Chang'an City, is it in his opinion, our illustrious families are actually in the same category as those in the city? How unreasonable! When our ancestors followed Gao Zu and started a business, that child was still unfinished, and he dared to underestimate the founding father of the country so much! ”

When a group of people were blocked back into the city, an old man surnamed Yu of the late Duke Liyang County couldn't help but scold.

There is no shortage of people around who share this sentiment, after all, they are full of enthusiasm for the arrival of King Yong, not only donating a large amount of materials, but even preparing to enter the camp in person to treat, but they were directly drunk at the gate of the city, and they didn't even see the big man in the camp, and the arrogance of King Yong's attitude is undoubtedly revealed.

Although he was extremely ashamed and indignant in his heart, there were not many people who really dared to declare his dissatisfaction. Therefore, after the old man surnamed Yu spoke, there were few responders. A group of people were speechless and could only disperse.

But the matter is far from over, and after these people return home, they are faced with a new problem, that is, what to do with the leftover goods in the official treasury?

The official treasury of Tongjifang, Dunhuafang and other squares has been completely emptied by these nearby families. In addition to basic materials such as grain and rice, there are also many forbidden goods that are specially supplied to the military and rarely circulated in the market, such as wild horse skins, bowstrings, crossbow arms, lances, and scattered arrows.

The general materials were naturally used to deal with King Yong's request, and they were transported to Bashang early in the morning. However, other military forbidden items are not easy to deal with, if they are handed over, they will not be self-confessed, and if they are destroyed, they are not easy to deal with, and these artifacts are of excellent quality, and they are a valuable wealth in themselves.

Therefore, after some discussion, each family decided to privately divide up this batch of forbidden items, hide them at home, and prepare to dispose of them through other channels after this period of limelight.

There are many fetters between Longyou and Shuofang, and they dare not be enemies with the Tang Dynasty, but they fight fiercely with each other in order to compete for pastoral areas and population, so the demand for these weapons is also very large, and they will not hesitate to exchange cattle and sheep for purchase. In this way, it not only dealt with this batch of hot goods, but also ensured that these goods would not appear on the battlefield of the war with Datang.

But in order to achieve these deals, in addition to the channel, the most important thing is to be able to quietly ship goods out of the city. Keep it at home, and every extra day comes with more risk.

But now King Yong's army is blockading the whole city, and people are not allowed to enter and leave at will. Therefore, those who hide the goods are also anxious to become ants on a hot pot, and every day is like a year, and they are suffering.

Therefore, in recent times, all the families involved have also met frequently to discuss and discuss strategies.

"Do you want to blame the trouble again, sneak those goods to Xicheng, and sit on the evidence of the crime of rioting the people?"

Someone proposed this, but as soon as the words came out, someone next to him shook his head and sighed: "If it was some time ago, it might be feasible." But before the rebels were killed on Suzaku Street, and now the army is gathering outside the city, and the squares are strictly guarded, and it is really difficult to avoid people's eyes and ears. ”

"Yes, those chaotic people have been bewitched by King Yong's Xuren and are waiting for relief, and even the officials of the two counties have been able to move calmly in the streets, and no one dares to harm them. Now that the official treasury has been taken over by the county officials, no matter how much they want to return the original. King Yong has not yet entered the city, and the chaos in the city is no longer ......"

Another person said: "The matter is not completely unsolved, after all, the bandits who robbed the official treasury were originally driven and killed by various families." We can pretend that in order to prevent these forbidden goods from flowing into the market, we have collected them temporarily, which is also a ......."

This is quite inspiring, and I think it is not a good way to deal with the crisis. But soon someone snorted coldly: "Before moving the official treasury, you take my family's house nearby, so that it is convenient to hide people's eyes, send more prohibited goods, and let my family replenish the grain and rice, because it is a total of all families, my family does not even dare to keep the spring seeds, and now I will hand over the forbidden goods, who will make up for my family?" ”

"If this happens, it will be a disaster of killing and exterminating the clan, and it will be such a private plan for the gain and loss of family wealth! Stupid or not? ”

When someone heard this, he immediately became angry, pointed at his person and shouted angrily.

"Good, good! I am stupid and have nothing to do, so please make up for the extra food and forbidden things in my house, and let you take them! If I stand in the way, I will let you slaughter! This is a common hardship of all families, why should I lose so much money? ”

After the man was scolded and scolded, he suddenly couldn't help but stand up, pointed at the other party and said angrily: "Zhao Jiugong has such a local righteousness, why did he completely ignore the local sentiment when he took away my family's Lishui back then?" ”

The old man who was called Zhao Jiugong also said angrily after hearing this: "The current dilemma is the time to pursue the old story? The revenge of seizing the family can be pursued, so is your Yin clan's evil act of excavating the ancestral tomb of the Tang family in the old years also a crime of today's clan? ”

"Damn it, old dog! The old things of the ancestors are the loyalty of the Sui ministers, and the old years of Zhenguan have become a foregone conclusion, and Taizong has specially forgiven and allowed future generations to succeed to the Tang Dynasty. The old thief revealed this old matter, could it be that he wanted to fight with me in the gladiatorial battle for life and death? ”

When the Yin clansman heard this, he was even more angry, and directly pulled out his blade and pointed at the old man Zhao Jiugong.

Seeing that the quarrel between the two sides was about to turn into a brawl, everyone hurriedly stepped forward to pull the two apart and persuaded them with their mouths. That Zhao Jiugong was still down, but the people surnamed Yin insisted that if they did not compensate for his family's losses, they would not want him to agree to hand over the forbidden things stored at home.

After such a stalemate, everyone finally decided to claim a part of the shares of each family to compensate for the losses of the Yin clan, but the premise was that those forbidden items must be handed over and handed over in a centralized manner to deal with the immediate murder.

But the patriarch of the Yin clan still refused to give up, and he must let everyone write and leave a note to prevent them from admitting their accounts afterwards.

But this request made it difficult for everyone, if you leave a note, it is undoubtedly leaving ironclad evidence, so some people are unhappy and say: "Yin Gong is so untrustworthy, so why conspire?" In this case, they simply went home and waited for King Yong's armor to knock on the door! ”

"The great evil has been done, do you think that I will use it to retaliate? The life of the family has to fight for life, and the inch of silk is also the hard work of the clansmen, and there is no room for loss! I don't want to give up a piece of paper, how can I believe that you are willing to pay me back afterwards? ”

The yin gong didn't care about the grievances, but just said coldly.

Seeing that they were so stubborn, everyone could only take a step back and leave a note each. The old man surnamed Yu saw that Yin Gong had seriously put away the note, and said hatefully: "Yin is narrow, it's really not enough to make a living!" ”

"Old things don't have to be hateful, your Duke Liyang has already been suspended for a generation. If it weren't for the remnants of the ancestral shadow, you would also be worthy of sitting down with the lords of all countries to discuss things? Hmph, Dazhu Country? The descendants are not good, only the ancestral voice can be sold. Alas, alas! ”

The Yin Gong put away the notes, then looked around at everyone with cold eyes, and said in a deep voice: "I'm not a narrow-minded persecution, but please know, even if any family shows its deeds later, don't implicate my family." If I am sentenced, none of the families present will be able to escape!

You don't have to look at me harshly, for if I suffer from this today, my children will cry! It's best that all families can be safe and sound, and when they get together again afterwards, I will burn this in front of you, make amends, and so on, just a joke. ”

When everyone heard this, they realized that this Yin Gong wanted to add an extra layer of insurance to his family, and he was also in a complicated mood for a while. Even if they secretly hated it in their hearts, they really didn't dare to kill this Yin Gong on the spot, so they could only watch him walk away.

Then the families began to nervously collect the forbidden goods, and while doing things, they were half distressed, half remorseful, regretting that they had not resisted their greed for a while, and conspired with such a group of calculating and suspicious fellows to commit felonies.

The three days passed quickly, and in the early morning of the fourth day, Wang Shi began to enter the gates of all sides, and the drums outside the city were noisy, guiding the rebellious people in the city to go out of the city and enter the camp in turn.

At the same time, in the Bashang barracks, Li Tong also gathered the officers and soldiers of the Chinese army and ordered them to enter the city to inspect the matters, the focus of which was to inspect the Dongchengfang District, where the families of the nobles of Xijing gathered.

At this time, although Li Tong knew the news of the robbery of the official treasury in the city, he had not yet connected it with these people in Xijing.

One is preconceived, thinking that with the accumulation of Xijing people for many years, it is not difficult to come up with such a sum of materials, and it is really impossible to take such a big risk. Second, the riot on Suzaku Street was very big, and all kinds of signs were indeed in line with the situation of rioting and looting.

"In this city tour, the focus is on the isolation of soil and guests, and they are resettled separately. In particular, the lords and nobles of Xijing have their own shade winds, and their respective mansions will definitely collect a large number of guests. If you don't check it out for a day, the city ban will not be removed for a day! The people in the city, each guarding their own place, those who go out without permission, three policemen will kill them! ”

It is an open secret that the powerful and the powerful shelter the people and use the population as the productivity of their own estates.

The Xijing riot can be said to have attracted most of the guests around Chang'an City to Chang'an City, saving the praise of searching the countryside on a large scale. Of course, Li Tong wanted to seize this opportunity to integrate these guests and people, and also scavenge out the population that was sheltered by those noble families.

Control the important production tools such as milling, control the population, the land is there, and it can't be packed and taken away.
