"I also heard some, saying that our Jiaxing prefect Master Ma is also there."

"Fart, a prince and a prefect come to our Xiushui, Lord Zheng can't pull up his trouser legs, and drive out of the city to greet him...... Don't believe the nonsense of thieves. ”

"It's not the thief who said it, it's the injured brother in Zhuangban, he wasn't seriously injured, but he was stabbed in the arm, and he said he recognized Master Ma...... Master Ma has been to Xiushui a few times, haven't you all seen it? ”

As soon as these words came out, the room instantly fell silent.

Everyone is thinking, there is actually Master Ma in this gang of thieves, is that still called a thief?

If even the prefect becomes a thief, then what has become of these people?

Everyone looked left and right at the reactions of others in amazement, and they all saw a trace of doubt in each other's eyes.

At this moment, the window of the house made a soft "kaka", and then the tip of a knife peeked out of the crack in the middle window and went up to the latch.

A servant excitedly raised his finger and gestured "shhhh

Everyone turned to look at the window, all in astonishment.

What kind of world is this, a thief actually stole into the yamen? The officials were all in good hands.

One by one, they stretched out their hands to their waists, drew knives with knives, and held rulers with iron rulers, staring at the windows, planning to invite you to enter the urn and catch turtles in the urn, and finally close the door and beat the dogs, which also eliminated the depression at this time.

The buildings in this yamen are actually independent courtyards.

The middle corridor and the courtyards with various functions on both sides are basically separated.

There is a gap about one zhang wide between the wall of the yamen and the courtyard, which is used as a passage, such as the passage when the yamen collects taxes and transports things into the warehouse, such as when the fire is fired, and so on.

But the main hall, the second hall, the third hall, and the backyard are separated by a wall.

At this time, there was a moving window, not facing the middle corridor, but facing the yamen wall.

Therefore, the officials in the room thought that it was a thief and guessed that he had climbed in from the wall.

Just as the officials cautiously approached the window, the official known as Xu Sange held a knife, used his other hand to open the official in front of him, squeezed to the front, and then swung the knife against the window to make a slashing gesture.

At this time, but the tip of the knife in the window slit picked off the window latch, and a head slowly appeared.

As soon as Xu Sange's knife was drawn, he waited to go down.

"Third brother?"

"Ergen?"

Everyone was stunned.

Liu Ergen supported his hand, jumped into the house with the body of Third Brother Xu, and then pushed Third Brother Xu, "Third Brother, help pull it, the small pillar is still below." ”

Under the pull of Liu Ergen and Xu Sange, Li Xiaozhu also climbed into the house.

"Ergen, you go back to the county government and swagger from the main gate, why are you still climbing the wall? If Lord Zheng knows about this, you will have good fruit to eat. ”

Liu Ergen glanced around, "Hey, why are there six fewer Zhuangban brothers?" ”

Third Brother Xu said without good qigong: "Four injured are being treated in the hospital, and two who are not injured are left in the hospital by Lord Zheng, saying that they are taking care of the injured brothers." ”

Liu Ergen said: "When we came in, we saw that there were people patrolling the road. ”

"It was the courtyard summoned by Lord Zheng, saying that there were bandits and rebels attacking the city, and they were asked to help the yamen assist in the defense."

"Phew! , bandit. Liu Ergen said, "Outside are the righteous prince and the prefect of the Ma Mansion. ”

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and Third Brother Xu was surprised: "Is it really the prince and the master Ma outside the city?" ”

"Of course. Xiaozhu and I entered the city on the orders of the king. ”

At this time, the officials all panicked, and they dared to be affectionate for a long time, and they were the thieves.

Third Brother Xu swallowed his saliva and asked astringently, "Ergen, tell me what is going on?" How could Lord Zheng treat Lord Wang and Master Ma as bandits. ”

So Liu Ergen was ordered to go to Huang Huozi's house to arrest Wu Zheng, and was taken out of the city by Wu Zheng and his party, and finally attacked the city and was repelled by the rebels on the city wall.

"Third brother, Zheng Youde must be a traitor, brothers, listen to my two words, our wives and children are all in Xiushui, don't be guilty of rebellion for Zheng Youde's usual kindness."

"Ergen, are you telling the truth?" Xu Sange asked.

"Third brother, how many years have we been brothers, can I lie to you?"

Another official on the side said: "Liu Ergen, even if what you say is true, but Lord Zheng has summoned hundreds of nursing homes, and we are just about 30 people, and there is no way, Hengzhi is a death, it is better for us to help no one, just stay in this incident to subside." Although this is useless, it is also without fault, right? ”

These words drew the nods of many officials in agreement.

Liu Ergen said: "No fault? Once Zheng Youde is suppressed, we will at least be charged with rebellion. How to be fault-free? ”

"But we didn't go to war with the officers and soldiers outside after all."

"That is, you can't wronged a good person, right?"

Liu Ergen hurriedly said: "Even if the prince is merciful and doesn't pursue our rebellion afterwards, I'm afraid that we will keep this errand...... At that time, how can we reduce the number of families? ”

These words silenced the officials, and many people's eyes looked at Xu Sange, obviously, Xu Sange's prestige in this group of officials was not low.

Third Brother Xu stared at Liu Ergen and asked, "Are you sure it's our prince outside the city?" ”

"Yes."

"You entered the city on the orders of the prince?"

"Yes."

"What does the prince want us to do?"

Liu Ergen said: "The reason why Zheng Youde didn't escape was because of the goods at the wharf, the prince originally wanted to drag Zheng Youde and prevent him from taking the goods away...... But I and Xiaozhu ...... when they arrived at the dock with Master Jiang. ”

"Wait, Master Jiang? Which Master Chiang? ”

"The general under the command of the prince, as for which guard is the commander, I don't dare to ask...... Anyway, the prince called him a general. ”

Third Brother Xu asked anxiously, "Then where is Master Jiang now?" ”

"It's in that little tree east of the main gate of the yamen."

"How many men did Master Jiang bring?"

"A hundred."

Third Brother Xu lowered his head and thought about it, then suddenly raised his head and said to the officials: "There are a hundred reinforcements outside the yamen, plus more than 30 of us, the inside and the outside should be combined, this matter is a success, brothers, the prince outside the city, the so-called wealth and danger are sought, this matter is worth fighting." ”

As soon as he said this, all the officials nodded.

Seeing that everyone agreed, Third Brother Xu nodded with satisfaction.

Then he said to Liu Ergen: "Then how do you and Master Jiang make an appointment to do it?" ”

"Take the explosion of the rat as a signal."

"Good! However, we don't have enough weapons in our hands, and the swords, bows, crossbows, and firearms are all in the storehouse on the west side of the second hall, and we must get the weapons before we can do it. There is a team of guards patrolling outside this house, but the number is not much, only a dozen, and it is not difficult to restrain them, for fear of making a noise and alarming the hundreds of guards outside the main hall. ”

Liu Ergen thought for a while and said: "Lure a few people in, restrain them, then take off their clothes, take advantage of the darkness to argue, approach the others after going out, and then ......." ”

Liu Ergen gestured to his neck.

Third Brother Xu nodded and said, "Cheng, just do as you say." ”
