"So, are the two of you reluctant to hand over the guards in your hands to assist the government in defending the city together?"

Pan Ruzhen's eyes became colder and colder, but he didn't get angry immediately, but said slowly with a sneer.

"Ben Fu wants to tell the two of you something that happened two months ago, two months ago, the army of thieves surrounded Anqing Mansion, and the prefect Wang Jinguo summoned almost all the gentry and rich households in Anqing Mansion to raise 100,000 taels of silver and recruit warriors to defend the city with a lot of money, but the rich gentry led by a shopkeeper surnamed Bai thought that 100,000 taels was too much, and they could only pay 20,000 taels at most, and they also began to bargain with the Wang Governor's Mansion, hahaha......"

Speaking of this, Pan Ruzhen laughed, but his tone became calm, "This is not the most important thing, the most outrageous thing is that after a day has passed, the 20,000 taels of silver promised by those people have only arrived in the account of 4,000 taels, and the remaining 16,000 taels of silver need to wait a few more days."

Seeing that the rogues were about to come in at any time, those people were still clinging to the silver.

There was not enough money to recruit and reward the warriors who defended the city, and the morale of the city plummeted. Wang Jinguo had no choice but to go to the city in person to defend the city with the garrison king, and finally the two were martyred on the city wall together.

After the rogues captured Anqing Mansion, the rich gentry who were reluctant to give out the silver before hid all the money cheaper for the rogues, and they also ended up in a different place. Hahaha......"

Pan Ruzhen laughed very loudly, but the faces of Ren Gong and Xu Yuanwai became ugly.

Although they had known about the defeat in Anqing Mansion for a long time, they were not so clear about what happened at that time, and Pan Ruzhen was simply slapping them in the face after saying this.

"Look at it, those fools are just because they are reluctant to give up that little silver, and as a result, not only the silver that the family has accumulated for generations is cheaper than the rogue, but even the whole family has been killed by the rogue, is there anyone more stupid than these people in this world?"

Xu Yuanwai was still a little unwilling, and struggled to say: "Don't let me wait for the governor, now there are not only 5,000 defenders in Hangzhou Mansion, but also 1,500 Fubiao battalions of adults, even if the thieves are powerful, they can't get in, right?" ”

Pan Ruzhen squinted at him and sneered, "Those gentry in Anqing Mansion seem to have told Wang Jinguo the same thing at the beginning, and now their bones are still being gnawed by wild dogs in mass graves." ”

"This ......"

Xu Yuanwai's face became whiter, the Chinese people pay attention to entering the soil for the fall of the leaves to return to the roots, what they are afraid of is that if they can't be buried in the ancestral grave after death, the tablet can't enter the ancestral hall.

What's more, the corpse was also thrown into a mass grave, so that if you want to become a lonely ghost, you will be scattered at any time, and this kind of death is called a catastrophe.

Of course, such a view is nonsense in the eyes of later generations, but the Chinese nation can continue to stand for thousands of years, isn't it because of these traditions?

Ren Gong's face was also very ugly, they naturally knew very well that with Pan Ruzhen's current status, there was no need to deceive them with this kind of lie, so this matter must be true.

Seeing that the two were still indecisive, Pan Ruzhen added another fire.

"Ben Fu knows that the families and nurses you are raising are all your thugs, and they are also very loyal to you, and you are reluctant to send them to the city wall to die, but you must remember that in the face of the menacing army of thieves, how many men and horses we have are not enough. If you don't want the family business handed down by your ancestors to be snatched away by the rogues, you have to risk your life to do it with them, otherwise sooner or later you will end up like those fools in Anqing Mansion. ”

Pan Ruzhen had already said it to such an extent, and Ren Gong and Xu Yuanwai could only nod slowly: "Since the governor has said so, after the grass people go back, they will convene a meeting to discuss it, and then give an explanation to the adults." ”

Pan Ruzhen said lightly: "Benfu doesn't want to explain anything, what Benfu wants is people, people who can cooperate with the officers and soldiers to fight with the Fubiao battalion." If Ben Fu can't see these people at the gate of the big camp of the Fubiao camp before sunset tomorrow, the two of them will blame Ben Fu for personally bringing people to invite! ”

"Boom ......"

Pan Ruzhen's words were like throwing a 10,000-strong enemy in the pavilion, Ren Gong and Xu Yuanwai both listened to it, this ruthless guy or are they familiar with the governor of Zhejiang? That's a cool officer!

Ignoring the stunned two, Pan Ruzhen's cold voice continued to sound: "Ben Fu is not afraid to say ugly things in front, if Hangzhou Mansion is captured by the Liukou, Ben Fu will naturally live and die with Hangzhou Mansion, but Ben Fu doesn't mind giving those who are dragging their feet a ride before he dies." ”

Facing the murderous Pan Ruzhen, Ren Gong and Xu Yuanwai were silent.

Make a choice between life and death, and believe that anyone with an IQ online knows how to do it.

The next day, in the evening of the same day, the gentry, salt merchants and maritime merchants sent their guards to the door of the Fubiao camp, and Pan Ruzhen ordered people to count them, and these people added up to more than 3,800 people.

Hearing the number of people counting the people below, Pan Ruzhen couldn't help but be a little speechless, this is a quite powerful force, I didn't expect those salt merchants and maritime merchants to be silent on weekdays, and they actually hid such a powerful force in Jiangnan in their hands, if they didn't look at it, they were shocked when they didn't know it.

In his opinion, even if the rogues poured their money to attack, with the city defenders in his hands, the Fubiao battalion and the strength of this guard, Hangzhou City could support him for several months even if it was attacked by ten times the strength of the rogues.

On a small road, seven or eight thieves made their way cautiously along the road, and when they rounded a bend, a burst of fire suddenly sounded.

"Bumper ......"

With the sound of fire, these thieves fell to the ground in confusion, their eyes full of disbelief.

When the white smoke cleared, more than a dozen Jiang Ning sergeants wearing green uniforms and holding brown beisi fire guns came out of the woods, and these people skillfully searched the dead thieves and then quickly evacuated, the whole process took less than a quarter of an hour.

Such a scene is not an isolated case, but it continues to happen around the Huizhou Mansion, and in just a few days, hundreds of thieves have fallen under the Brown Beth Fire Hammer.

"We can't go on like this, we have more than 200 brothers who can't come back in the past two days alone!"

A brigade knelt in front of Li Yan and cried.

"Strategist, if this continues, our spies will die."

Li Yan shook his head: "If you die, you have to send it out, otherwise we will become deaf and blind, and Huizhou Mansion will really be called a lonely city, so as long as your people are not dead, you must send spies out, understand?" ”
