Chapter 18 Someone Sneaks Up on Chenzhuang

On a dark and windy night, Chenzhuang, who had been noisy for a day, became quiet.

When it was almost time to go, after the sound of the door opening with a "squeak", ten fearful black shadows peeked out of ten families in the newly built residential area, and they gathered under a door, whispering.

"Ladies and gentlemen, our Feng Zhuang owner said, our brothers have done this vote, each of them will give fifty taels of silver, and then we can all take our families to be happy, please be quick with your hands and feet when you light the fire, and when you come to put out the fire after lighting the fire, you will pretend to be a little bit like it, and no one can find out that we did it." In the dark shadows, the person who was connected to Feng Peel instigated in a low voice.

"Well, no problem, I'm going to sleep with my fifty taels of silver in my arms when the time comes, I've grown so big, I haven't seen five taels of silver yet," the rest of the man said with grinding his teeth and sucking blood.

After explaining, except for Li Miao, who honestly prepared to find an unimportant place and waited for Yuan Chao to sneak home honestly when he arrested people, the other black shadows, either to the warehouse, or to the academy, or to the shop, all rushed to the important target points of Chen Zhuang.

What the shadows didn't notice was that each of them was followed by two or three men.

Tonight is destined to be sleepless, Yuan Chao in Zhuangzi, after resting for a while in the first half of the night, is now taking Yuan Bao, Yuan Xu, and Yang Hao to guard the news in the courtyard.

Outside Zhuangzi, the scoundrels of the five villages, as well as some bandits and thieves found from outside the village, were all under the leadership of their respective owners, with cloth bags tied around their waists and sticks in their hands, preparing to surprise Chen Zhuang after Chen Zhuang caught fire.

"Huh, huh" A dark shadow touched the edge of the granary, opened the fire fold, and blew on the fire fold, and after a while, the fire fold began to show sparks. The black shadow hurriedly pointed the fire at the thatch of the mat used to build the granary. After a while, the fire began to burn, and the black shadow quickly took the fire fold and lit a granary.

"Don't worry, the owner said, let the fire rise a little more, so that the government can punish their crimes." The villagers who were secretly observing each other were interacting with each other.

"Hey, it's on fire, there's a fire in Chenzhuang, let's rush quickly, or let Fengzhuang's people take the lead, we can only drink soup." Li Zhuang's rogue scoundrels were clamoring below.

"Well, it makes sense, brothers, then give it to me, remember, half of the things you grabbed will be handed over, and you will take the rest yourself, I have only one request, that is, let the two families of our Li Zhuang be buried in the fire, understand? Otherwise, none of us will survive. The owner of Li Zhuang gave an order fiercely.

Li Zhuang's other splashes were also afraid for a while when they heard it, but fortunately they burned high incense and were not selected, otherwise they would have been played to death this time, but after thinking about it, they could divide half of the things they grabbed, and their brains were instantly hot, and they rushed towards Chen Zhuang one by one.

"Idiot, as soon as the fire started, they Li Zhuang started to rush, won't they wait for Chen Zhuang to put out the fire, and then rush when it is the most chaotic?" Feng Tian secretly scolded this pig teammate in his heart, and suddenly looked in other directions, and when other Zhuangzi saw Li Zhuang rushing, they all began to rush towards Chen Zhuang.

"Alas, that's it, let's rush too, Feng Papi, when you enter the village for a while, you must first let the two families in Feng Zhuang be buried in the fire, as for the Yuan Dynasty, you must also be quiet, and you can't let him get out of the courtyard alive." Feng Tian made the final arrangements. Then he waved his hand and led the team to rush towards Chen Zhuang.

In Zhuangzi, several villagers who were secretly observing the dark shadow, by the moonlight, suddenly saw a group of people outside Zhuangzi running towards Zhuangzi.

"It's not good, there is an emergency, you start to put out the fire, I'll go to warn." A clever villager began to run towards Yuan Chao's house.

"Oh no, no, there's a robber attacking the village outside." The early warning cry of the Zhuang people in the dark night pierced the silence of the entire Chen Zhuang.

"What? At least a few hundred robbers are attacking the village outside? When Yuan Chao heard the news that he didn't expect, he was about to crush the teacup in his hand.

"Yuan Xu, Yang Hao, each of you quickly pulled up your own hundred-person team in the village to guard the east gate of Zhuangzi and the west gate of Zhuangzi. Remember, be sure to defeat the invading enemy. Uncle Zhuang, you go and organize the other men in the village to defend the north of the village.

After Yuan Chao's order, the three people in the hall did not stop for a moment, and hurriedly saluted and retreated, to pull their own team.

"The men of the 100th team of the Chen military camp, pick up the wooden sticks used for training and quickly gather with me at the east gate of Zhuang, let us teach this group of turtle grandsons who dare to attack the village a lesson." Yuan Xu rode a horse on the street and shouted loudly in the village, and the men of the 100th team who had just been awakened by the shouts of robbers attacking the village heard Yuan Xu's call, as if they had heard the assembly order again, and immediately picked up the wooden stick like a spear used for practice, and ran to the east of Zhuangzi following Yuan Xu's voice.

"The 200-strong team of the Chen military camp, all the personnel, and all the personnel who heard the call immediately went to the west gate of the village to stop the robbers from entering the village." Yang Hao touched Zhou Luosheng's house for the first time, and rushed to the west gate with Zhou Luosheng while shouting.

Yuan Bao banged the gong along the village and shouted to other young men to pick up hoes and flat shoulders, and rushed towards the north of the village.

The villagers who followed the shadows were the first to extinguish the fire and arrest the arsonists.

Other elderly women and children, as well as Wang Ze and other teachers from the business school, rushed to Yuan Chao's house for refuge.

For a while, the whole village was still flowing quietly except for the Shaying River in the south, and the rest of the village could be said to be a mess.

To the east of Zhuangzi, Chenzhuang is usually the main road out of the village, and now there are nearly 200 bandits outside.

"These stupid pigs, they have to rush so early to startle the snakes." Feng Tian scolded angrily outside the east gate.

In fact, some people had already rushed in just now, and they were beaten out alive by Yuan Xu with the team.

Originally, I wanted to be an insider and swallow Chen Zhuang's property unknowingly, but now it is estimated that Yuan Chao has caught a lot of people, and now there is only one way to rush into Zhuang, kill all the insiders, and blame the robbers and thieves. Feng Tian suddenly felt that the situation was no longer in the plan at all, and he was now in a very dangerous situation, and for the first time, he began to wonder if he had made a mistake.

"There is no turning back when the bow is opened, not to mention that there is no turning back now, when it comes to this, the men of Fengzhuang have taken out the big knives they have prepared and followed me into the village."

Feng Tian left things behind, his rogue under him, as well as the robbers and thieves nearby, there were more than 100 people in total, and each of them carried blades, plus more than 100 people from other Zhuangzi to the east, the pressure on the east gate of Chen Zhuang was now extremely great.

Seeing twice as many people outside, and seeing the bright blades in the moonlight outside, the hundredth team under Yuan Xu, no one escaped, but they all held the wooden sticks in their hands tightly, waiting for Yuan Xu's orders.
