Chapter 114: Going Out

"Okay, Sun thinks so too."

"Lord Sun, if these refugees revolt, it will make a big fuss, and if it reaches the ears of the emperor, it will be difficult to do."

"That's true. I also thought about this, not only will it not bring us any convenience, but it will disrupt our plans. ”

"Looks like that's the only way to do it." Sun Zhang then said again.

"Did Lord Sun have any good ideas again?"

"Then Lord Cheng will know." Sun Zhang smiled evilly and said mysteriously.

"Now that Master Sun has a countermeasure, then the old minister won't talk much."

"Master Cheng, just take a look." Sun Zhang said with a smile.

"Tonight's wine is very enjoyable, Lord Sun, it's not too early, and it's time for the old minister to leave."

"Then I won't keep you, go back and rest early, Master Cheng walks slowly."

"It's noisy outside, it's loud, it's what it's doing at night." Sun Zhang asked the little guy impatiently.

"If you go back to your lordship, it's that some refugees have no food to eat and have come to our house to beg for food."

"It's bad luck to bang away."

"Well, wait, give those people some food." When the little guy was about to coax away the begging refugees, Sun Zhang suddenly stopped him with a sudden change of words. Thinking of the big things he was going to do tomorrow, he would take pity on them for the time being, let them have their last full meal, and Sun Zhang gave them some food because he thought of this.

Then Sun Zhang called a few of his right-hand men and gave them a soft command.

"Do you know what I'm talking about?"

"Return, I know." Everyone said in unison.

"Okay, then go ahead and let me know your good news tomorrow night. Let's go down. “

The storm had been calm before the storm, the sun was rising, and the streets that had been quiet and bustling were now dilapidated, and the refugees were sitting on the steps in groups and lying on the ground, hungry and without any extra strength.

"Get up, get up." Suddenly, some officers and soldiers with swords and swords spoke, and these refugees exploded together.

"What are you doing here?" An old woman sat on the ground crying.

The officers and soldiers didn't talk much nonsense, the white knife went in and the red knife came out, and the old woman was sitting on the ground crying one second, and the next second she lost her breath, and blood splattered all over the ground and on the nearby refugees. The group of refugees was so frightened by the scene in front of them that they didn't dare to come out. The officers and soldiers surrounded the refugees in the middle.

"Seeing that there is no such thing as not obeying orders and talking too much."

"Now all the old people are standing up and hurrying up." The officer and soldier ordered.

The old people slowly walked out of the crowd tremblingly.

"Daddy, don't, Daddy." A young woman cried softly.

"Shut up, don't cry, Dad is fine, if Dad is gone, you have to live well, good daughter." After the old man finished speaking, he ruthlessly pushed his daughter away and grabbed her hand.

"Don't talk nonsense, come out quickly." The officers and soldiers pushed the old man over.

"Daddy." The woman pounced. Protect the old man's body.

"Dad, are you okay, please let my dad go, please." The woman knelt on the ground and kowtowed, begging for mercy.

"I don't want to live anymore, do I?" The officers and soldiers raised their broadswords, and when they were about to cut down, they found that the little girl was very good-looking.

"This woman's appearance is a sign, come on, grab me and bring it back for a few pastimes." The officer and soldier who took the lead said with a wicked smile.

"These people are all in that thatched hut." So several officers and soldiers bombed the old man into the house, and fixed all the doors and windows with wooden boards, and they escaped. Later, several officers and soldiers brought some hay and placed it around the house. When the old people were locked up in this room, they already knew that death awaited them was imminent. The old man didn't resist too much. An officer and soldier lit a torch and threw it at the hay, which immediately ignited a raging fire that swallowed up the whole house.

The remaining refugees cried and cried but could not do anything but watch as their parents were burned to death.

"Take the rest of the people away." The prefect who took the lead ordered. Almost all of these wandering refugees were arrested. The people in Yangcheng closed their doors and windows, for fear that the officers and soldiers would see that they had taken them away. There was such a big commotion outside, and no one opened the door and opened the window to see the excitement. Under Sun Zhang's orders, all the old people were burned alive, and all the women and children were arrested. Some officers and soldiers armed with swords began to loot the people's fat and ointment, and if they could not get out, the people of Yangcheng would be immediately beheaded.

"Lord Qiqi, according to the instructions of the adults, the matter has been done."

"Okay."

"Qinglian, another batch of goods arrived at the dock early this morning, this is the key to the study, it is very important to get my account book, this batch of goods must be recorded in the account." Sun Zhang commanded.

"It's Qinglian, let's go."

"When Lao Chen just came over, he saw a mess on the street."

"Do you think I'm a little cruel, in order to maintain the balance of this Yangcheng, these old immortals can only die early. I'm doing this to trade in a few days. ”

"Lao Chen understands that Lord Sun is also out of helplessness." Master Cheng was a little embarrassed, he didn't expect Sun Zhang to maintain the balance in the city in this way. But after all, it's not a place in your own hands, and it's not good to intervene in anything.

"What is the matter with Lord Sun calling me over today, is it just to calm the refugees today?"

"Well, it's not." Sun Zhang waved his hand.

"It's the turn of troublesome Lord Cheng to pacify the refugees, Lord Cheng will sit first." Sun Zhang then said again.

Master Cheng sat in the hall and just took a sip of tea, when he heard the movement, someone came again, and when he looked up, it turned out to be other comrades.

"I called everyone over today just to tell you that we have to "trade" in a few days to start, everyone is always ready to do so, the specific day has not been decided, today I pacified these refugees, everyone has also seen, not that my Sun is cruel, but I am afraid of the wrong thing. “

"Master Sun, we all understand." Lord Wang, who is a certain person with Sun Zhang, said.

"My lord, it's not good. When I went to the study, the door was unlocked, and the ledger was not found. After a while, Qinglian ran over and muttered a few words in Sun Zhang's ear.

"Now that you know, look for it, you go down first." After Qinglian left, Sun Zhang's originally smiling face suddenly became gloomy.

"I don't know what happened to make Master Sun upset." Master Cheng asked.

"Nothing. Sun still has some things to deal with, so Sun will not accompany him and will leave first. ”

"It just so happens that we still have some things, so we won't bother." Everyone said with interest.

After everyone left, Sun Zhang angrily threw the water cup on the table on the ground.

"What's the matter, who is so bold."

"Lord Hui, I haven't found out who took it yet."

"In the morning, when I was sorting out my official business in the study, I put the account book on the table, blaming me for being negligent for a while, the account book should be hidden." Sun Zhang said with great annoyance.

"Don't worry, my lord, we've already sent someone to investigate."

"Give orders at once, keep the gates of the city, and anyone who goes out must be strictly investigated, and no one shall be missed. I don't believe he can get out with the ledger. ”

"Yes."

Sun Zhang was very anxious, such an important thing as the ledger was actually stolen. I thought that when the prince died, no one would hinder his plan, and I thought that I could sit back and relax, but it was because of this that I relaxed my vigilance that I gave people with a heart an opportunity.

"The prince's power in Yangcheng has obviously been eradicated, who is it, if this account book is taken out of Yangcheng and sent to the emperor, all this will be ruined. What is the purpose of the other party? Sun Zhang paced around the room thinking.

At this time, two people on the second floor of the Yangcheng small teahouse sneakily flashed into a small single room in the teahouse.

"Close the door." One of them said. Then another man opened a small crack in the window on the other side of the street and looked at it.

"Big brother, their speed is too fast, there are now patrolling officers and soldiers outside, it must be Sun Zhang's dog thief who has found that the ledger is gone.

"I'll go out to investigate, you take the account book here and wait for me to go." The taller ones walked out as they spoke.

The tall man went out of the teahouse in the direction of the city gate, and he saw from a distance that the officers and soldiers had turned over all the baggage of the people entering and leaving the city, and searched them very carefully, and even searched their bodies. ”

The tall man looked at it for a while, then got up and walked towards the teahouse.

"How's it going, big brother, can you get out?"

"Alas, the Sun dog thief sent people to search the city gate very carefully, we are still a step late, maybe in a few days the investigation will be a little looser."

"What can I do about this, big brother, if I wait for a few days, then Feng'er and they won't die. Today, my father and mother were burned alive by the Sun dog thief. The man gritted his teeth and said with red eyes.

"O iniquity, why does the Sun dog thief refuse to let go of these poor refugees." The tall man clenched his fists and nails into the flesh, oozing a little blood.

"We must rescue Feng'er and avenge our father."

The tall man suddenly picked up the ledger and tore it open in the middle.

"In this way, each of us will take half of it, hide it on our bodies, and go out in batches. In case one of us is arrested, at least half of us will take this half into Beijing to find the emperor, and the emperor will definitely not ignore it. The tall man said.

"Brother, we only have to fight, and at this time, I don't know whether it is life or death. Brother, respect you. Later, my brother wants to leave. The man raised his glass and drank.

"Big brother."

"Brother, take care, big brother will go first." The tall man didn't wait for the other man to finish, then tucked the ledger into the waistband of his trousers and walked out of the door.

The tall man stood near the city gate and watched for a while, and finally waited for the time for the officers and soldiers to change shifts. Immediately got up and walked over.

"Stop, someone." The soldier chased after him with a knife.

"Go out of town to visit family."

"Take the baggage off and search." The tall man respectfully unburdened himself and secretly stuffed the silver in his sleeve to the guards who were inspecting.

"It's hot, please drink a bowl of herbal tea." The tall man smiled and flattered.

"Let's go, let's go." The officers and soldiers who searched looked at the silver and smiled, and quickly put it away.

"Stop, what's going on over there." The leading officer and soldier on the side shouted, and the tall man was stopped just as he was about to leave.

The man frowned, turned around and asked with a smile, "Is there anything else to do with this master?"

"Why don't you search him, if something goes wrong, you don't want it?" The leading officer and soldier asked.

"What are you doing, sneakily watching here for a long time, specifically picking out the city when the changing of the guard is coming, what is the purpose?"

The leading officer and soldier yelled at the tall man.

"This ...... This master, what purpose can I have as a straw man, I just want to get out of the city. The tall man replied tremblingly, sweating nervously.
