Chapter 590: Raid on Dongtai County (II)
The thieves raided Dongtai County, and attacked the county government with lightning speed, and the bandit leader Chen Dong released all the prisoners in the county government prison, and instantly gathered hundreds of people, and the momentum was great, these people set fire to and smashed them everywhere, and many buildings in the county government quickly fell into a sea of fire, and the whole small city was red by the fire.
Houya is the place where the magistrate and his family live, there was such a big movement in front, Zhu Kun was naturally awakened, he got up in a bone, and quickly took off the waist knife hanging on the wall, and then lit the oil lamp.
At this time, the door of the room was knocked quickly, and Zhu Kun's wife, Zhou, was so frightened that she huddled in the corner with her son who had just completed the moon. Zhu Kun pulled out his waist knife and shouted, "Who?" ”
"Master, something is wrong, a large number of thieves have invaded the official office, run for your life."
Zhu Su hurriedly opened the door and saw that it was the housekeeper Zhu Si outside the house, and two housekeepers with flat shoulders standing behind him with pale faces, so he asked in a deep voice: "Where did the thief come from?" How many centaurs are there? ”
Zhu Si shook his head and said hurriedly: "The old slave doesn't know, now the front office is chaotic and the fire is soaring, and it is estimated that the number of people is not less than two or three hundred, so the master should quickly take the lady and the young master to leave through the back door." ”
Zhu Kun rushed out of the courtyard and looked in the direction of the fire, and suddenly changed his complexion, it was the county government prison, it is estimated that the pirate Chen Sipan's accomplices have robbed the prison, and there are still hundreds of prisoners in the prison, so this is trouble.
At this moment, there were gunshots and shouts of killing from the county government warehouse, and Zhu Kun's face became extremely ugly, at this time he already had eight or nine points to be Chen Sipan's accomplice, and the other party definitely had internal cooperation, otherwise it would be impossible to attack the county government so quickly.
"Zhu Si, you immediately take the lady and the young master to leave through the back door." Zhu Kun commanded decisively.
Zhu Si hurriedly said: "Master, I don't know how many thieves have entered the city now, it is not appropriate to stay here for a long time, you should also hide quickly." ”
Zhu Kun said in a deep voice: "I am the parent official of Dongtai County, and I have the responsibility of guarding the land, how can I escape without authorization, not to mention that this official promised in front of Lord Qincha that if the stolen silver and goods in the warehouse are lost, I will apologize with death." ”
"Master, there are five hundred battalions of elite guards over there in the warehouse......
"Don't talk nonsense, let's go!" Zhu Su interrupted with a cold snort.
The housekeeper Zhu Si knew his master's temperament very well, and knew that it would be futile to persuade him, so he slammed and said, "Madame, go with the old slave." ”
Fang's face was as pale as paper, hugged his son who had just reached the full moon, pulled Zhu Kun's sleeve with one hand and cried: "Husband, you must be careful." ”
Fang's obviously also knew that his man's character was upright and stubborn, as long as he made up his mind, he couldn't turn back even ten cows, so he didn't advise, just reminded him to pay attention to safety.
Zhu Kun said with a soft expression: "I will, take Cong'er away quickly, I'm afraid it's too late." After speaking, he took a deep look at his son, who was still awake and asleep.
Fang wiped away his tears and followed the housekeeper Zhu Si to the corner door in the backyard. Seeing his wife and children leave, Zhu Xianling instantly became warlike, and said to the two family members: "Go, go with Master Ben to kill the thief!" ”
Zhu Su said and lifted the hem of his pajama shirt to his waist, and strode forward with a knife.
As soon as Zhu Kun and the five family members walked to the second hall, they were confronted by three prisoners who tried to insult a maidservant, whose hair was messy, wearing only a belly pocket, and her pajamas were torn.
Zhu Su couldn't help but scream violently, and rushed forward to slash the prisoner who was pressed on the servant girl, who was splashed with blood and ran away screaming. The other two prisoners retreated in horror, and Zhu Su rushed forward and slashed another to death, leaving the prisoner stumbling forward.
The belligerent Zhu Xian Ling was so murderous that he chased after him, and the five family members were obviously also infected by the courage of the head of the family, and rushed forward with their shoulders.
However, Zhu Kun and the others soon encountered a group of pirates with weapons, although Zhu Xianling was brave, but after all, two fists were invincible and four hands, and soon the danger was rampant, and three of the five family members were also cut down.
Bang bang bang......
At this moment, the gunfire suddenly rang out, and seven or eight pirates fell in an instant, and the other pirates immediately ran away in fright. Zhu Xuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, looked up, and saw ten soldiers of the 500 battalion running towards this side while loading ammunition, led by the sharpshooter Guo Jindiao.
"Lord Zhu is okay, right?" Guo Jindiao ran to Zhu Kun with nine brothers, and at the same time had already completed the loading.
Zhu Kun shook his head and said: "Fortunately, Mr. Guo came in time, otherwise this official's life would have been confessed, how is the situation in the warehouse?" ”
Guo Jindiao said in a deep voice: "It has been surrounded by a large number of thieves, it is estimated that there are as many as two or three hundred people, and the leader of the team is Chen Dong, the second leader of Dongsha Island, and they have released all the prisoners in the prison. Zhao Baihu was worried that Lord Zhu would make a mistake, so he asked his subordinates to bring ten brothers to break through to find Lord Zhu. ”
Zhu Kun nodded and said, "Zhao Baihu has a heart, Mr. Guo, do you think the warehouse can be low?" ”
Guo Jindiao said with a solemn face: "It's hard to say, there are a lot of thieves, and there are a lot of bows and crossbows on hand, which is extremely unfavorable to us, and we are afraid that they will attack with fire." ”
Zhu Kun shook his head: "The thief's target is the goods in the warehouse, and it is unlikely that the warehouse will be set on fire." ”
Hearing this, Guo Jindiao said confidently: "Then our brothers should have no problem persevering until dawn!" ”
Zhu Kunxi said: "In this way, the official will go to gather people to rescue, and I will help me with Mr. Guo!" ”
"No problem, brethren open the way!" Guo Jindiao shouted, and nine 500 battalion soldiers escorted Zhu Kun and rushed out.
The main force of the thieves is besieging the warehouse, and at this time, the people who wander around and rape and plunder are some prisoners, or pirates who are greedy for small and cheap pirates, and there are the opponents of Guo Jindiao's fierce soldiers, and they are cut down in a single face.
Zhu Kun and the others rushed to the stable, led the horses and rushed out of the county office.
At this time, the city was full of flames, and some of the prisoners who had escaped from the prison were taking the opportunity to set fire to and loot everywhere, and the demons were dancing wildly, and the order of the whole city was out of order.
Seeing the chaos in the city under his rule, Zhu Kun was angry and painful, roared and galloped his horse, and as long as he encountered a thief who set fire on the street, he would immediately swing his knife and kill him.
"This official is Zhu Kun, the commander of Dongtai County, and there is no forgiveness for those who commit adultery!" Zhu Kun galloped while shouting loudly, and soon, many inspectors and officials gathered over.
When Zhu Kun and others came to the yamen of the salt transportation branch, nearly 50 people had gathered. Zhu Kun got off his horse, strode up the stone steps, knocked on the door of the Salt Transportation Branch Division vigorously, and shouted loudly: "I am Zhu Kun, and the judge Xu quickly led people to kill the thief with his own official." ”
Dongtai County is the main salt-producing area, and there is a salt transportation branch here, and the chief is the judge Xu Zhen, who has 500 salt dings under his command.
Zhu Su slapped violently for a while, and the door finally opened, and an old official came out and said carefully: "Lord Zhu, our judge has already taken people out to inspect the salt works yesterday, and he hasn't returned yet!" ”
Zhu Su hurriedly asked, "Where is Xu Zhen camping?" ”
"This ...... It's not clear to the lower officials! ”
Zhu Kun couldn't help but scold: "Damn! ”
