Changle Qianhu has not changed as usual, after the disaster relief a year ago, it is expected that some changes should be made, in fact, Feng Qianhu, who suffered a little from Chen Ji and fell behind, when he first returned to Changle, he really wanted to do something. A month later, the reform failed, and I had no choice but to cooperate like the big clans in the city.

The Cai family of Qingzhou Hao family has a courtyard in Changle, the person in charge is the third old lady of the Cai family, which is a generation higher than the Qingzhou family, of course, when the old lady was really in charge of things in the early years, the reputation of the Cai family has not been rotten to the point that the hearer is frightened.

On this day, Cai Cheng, the sixth young master of the family, was indeed welcomed into the door.

——

The road home is occasionally full of ups and downs, Chen Jida from Dengzhou, the mood continued to be low, to the territory of Dechangle Plain Town, coincidentally encountered a continuous spring rain, chattering for several days, his mood is also muddy.

Pingyuan Town is the gateway to Changle, in the early years there was a salt inspection department here, which brought together many salt-related industries, Yangzhou and other places if salt merchants choose to sell salt by land, this is also a must pass. The salt industry is prosperous, and Pingyuan Town has naturally ushered in development, although it is now a little defeated, but the heritage is still there.

One or two miles outside the town is the Fusang Mountain of the remaining veins of the Huoshan Mountain System, and the Pingyuan Town is built around this Fusang Mountain, and a river is built on the south side of the town, forming a pattern that is now surrounded by mountains on three sides and surrounded by water on one side. It's only a half-day trip to Changle County, so the defensive strength here is indeed more than other places.

A hundred households were stationed in the plain where the thousand households of Changle were located, and took over the original territory of the Salt Inspection Division.

Chen Ji was just going to take a break in Pingyuan Town, but he didn't expect the rain to stop, and he was in a depressed mood, so he really lost the interest of hurrying.

Pedestrians were in a hurry on the street outside the inn, most of the shops were closed, and occasionally you could see three or five people from the township organized by the town. Chen Ji had previously inquired with the innkeeper, probably a few gangs of roaming horse thieves in the vicinity, who had recently made frequent moves and looted several villages.

Back in the room, Gui Chun said that those horse thieves didn't pay attention to the rules of the rivers and lakes.

Chen Ji smiled and asked why.

Gui Chunyi said solemnly: "This is the beginning of spring, it is the season of sowing, they are coming to grab things now, don't they just don't talk about the rules of the rivers and lakes."

Chen Ji thought about it, and there was really some truth. Only on the other hand, there may be a bigger "hidden secret". For example, if the situation of horse thieves is too bad to make a living, either the imperial court has stepped up its crackdown, or the number of horse thieves has increased again.

Right now, everything grows.

It's not a good time to loot.

Chen Ji couldn't help but think of Zhu Chenghu, and he was also a little worried that the situation was not good.

At night, the rain doesn't stop at all.

Chen Ji asked for a supper from downstairs, and Gui Chun felt strange, after all, Chen Ji asked for a hot pot.

Eating hot pot at night, Gui Chun was very worried.

Chen Ji didn't care.

In the middle of the night, a gong suddenly sounded outside.

Gui Chun ran to the window, retreated from the window, and the sound of rain washing over the air burst in, sweeping away part of the heat wave in the house.

Chen Ji slowly put down the chopsticks, wiped his mouth, and suddenly saw something in the hot red oil in his eyes, lifted the chopsticks again, stirred in them for a long time, and fished out a piece of meat. As soon as he sent it to his mouth, his face fell.

It turned out to be a piece of ginger coated in a meaty flavor.

Chen Ji flicked his tongue to taste.

He also told Gui Chun to bring water.

"Young master, there's something going on down there." Gui Chun said eagerly, but he didn't forget to pour hot water for Chen Ji.

"I hear you."

"Shall we go out and have a look?"

"Look at what? Watch people cut off people's heads? ”

……

"Don't worry, since the boss has explained before we stay in the hotel, it means that the town has been prepared, and there are more than 100 people on the side of the inspection department, plus the organized township brave and strong, as long as we don't face each other, at least we can protect the people in the town." As for the property damage, it will be compensated by the government afterwards! ”

When Gui Chun heard this, his face changed.

"Young master, why don't we run?"

Chen Ji raised his eyes, "Where are you going?" If you place an order, people are better to start. ”

"You can't wait here, can you?"

Gui Chun said, already looking for something in the house to defend himself.

Chen Ji reminded: "You can dismantle the bed frame."

Gui Chun, a sincere child, really went over to compare.

Chen Ji patted his head and decided not to tease this honest child in the future.

At the same time, the commotion outside was much closer, and the sound of hurried footsteps stepping through the long street, splashing water, accompanied by indefinite shouts, disrupted the otherwise comfortable evening. The heat in the room had dissipated, and Gui Chun, who had not been able to remove a piece of bed after the struggle, also returned to Chen Ji, closed the window first, followed to the candlestick and blew the candle flame, the room fell into darkness, and after a while, some light was restored.

The breathing gradually became a little tighter.

The noise continued into the second half of the night, and the rain became heavier and heavier, thus covering up many terrible truths, or not much resistance itself, so naturally it was not as thrilling as imagined.

Chen Ji squinted for a while, and Gui Chun kept watch all night. When I woke up in the morning and went downstairs, the shopkeeper had already opened the door to do business, and when I saw Chen Ji, I hurriedly greeted him, and his face was not very good.

"The guest is going to Changle, right?" There is not much business these days, and the shopkeeper has written down the guests who have stayed at the hotel, and it is nothing to know the whereabouts of Chen Ji, after all, the road says Dengzhou to Qingzhou, and Changle is a place that must be passed.

Chen Ji bowed his head.

The shopkeeper breathed a sigh of relief, and then persuaded: "The guests should turn back the same way, last night the ringing horses from the nearby Jizhi Mountain passed to Changle, look at the posture, I'm afraid Changle has changed."

"It turns out that there was such a big thing going on last night."

The shopkeeper said: "Several gentry homes in the plains have also suffered, not to mention robbing things, they have all killed people."

The shopkeeper was also scared when he talked about this.

Chen Ji pondered for a moment, "The number of horse thieves in Jizhi Mountain is less than five hundred, how dare they rush to kill a county seat?" ”

The shopkeeper shook his head, "Who knows." ”

——

Time rewinds to last night, Changle County.

Several chief officials of the county government have just left the office, and the lord of the bookkeeper who is closer has arrived at home, and the county lord who is a little farther away is still on the road, and the county lord has some things to visit the county elders. The old man of the history is a little unlucky, the law and order in the city has been unstable recently, he has borne the brunt, the first few times he was called to talk, today is also a routine situation report, plus the prison first detained a few arrested ringing horse heads, Changle's protection level has reached the highest level.

During this period, the magistrate personally went to the Changle Thousand Households, hoping to get help. After all, the rivers and lakes have long released words to rescue those ringing horses. Even the families of several key officials.

As a result, these heavy pressures fell on the classic history Ye Yizhi.

Just as he finished his prison patrol and was about to go home, there was a bustle in the front yard, and he vaguely heard a sound of "murder", Ye Yizhi was in a trance for a moment and rushed forward.

The front was already in chaos, and most of the party belonging to the county government had been slashed and killed, and most of the rest were injured and retreated to the lobby.

The third class of the county government is usually only responsible for simple inspections and thieves, and the combat effectiveness is really not much better, not to mention that at this hour, most of the people have already gone home from work, and there are only three or five people on duty, plus the scribes in the sixth room, there are more than ten people, under the first wave of slashing and killing by the other party, the county government side that is already defenseless has suffered heavy losses.

Ye Yizhi knew that something was going on, and boldly guessed that the other party's purpose should be to rescue a few people in the prison, and immediately turned around and went to the prison to arrange defense, and if necessary, he would definitely decisively send those people in the prison to the west first. Although the human head is not as good as a living person, the credit is actually not much worse.

It's just that when he arrives at the prison behind the county office, it is as if the chaos in the front yard has happened. Several of the prison guards were no longer breathing, and the drunken man with a bracelet and anklet was walking out with the support of his companions. The eyes met in an instant, Ye Yizhi was horizontal, picked up a long knife on the ground, and killed it tragically.

One by one, Ye Yizhi fell in a pool of blood, the fierceness on his face had not faded, and his eyes couldn't sleep.

Hibiki and his gang bypassed the front yard and joined their companions in the front yard and began to retreat.

Not long after hearing the movement, the entire Changle City was already in chaos. Feng Xuexiao woke up from her sleep, listened to the report of her subordinates, stopped putting on half of her shoes, and sat up in shock, "What did you say?" ”

"Hurry up and transfer people, close the city gates, and don't let this wave of people leave."

Standing up, he added, "Send someone from Ximen to Qingzhou to spread the news."

While arranging, his face had sunk to the bottom of the sea.

Today's thousands of households in Changle are seriously hungry, and half of them can't pull it out. Now that there is such a thing, he can't eat and walks away afterwards. Even if you want to report a "fight and die", it is impossible, and the imperial court will inevitably investigate strictly afterwards, and it will always leak out those things about Chen Sesame and rotten grain.

Feng Qianhu put on his armor and went to the county government under the guard of his own guard.

Cai Tao, the county magistrate, Yang Wei, and Chen Lin, the chief bookkeeper, have arrived, and their faces are more ugly than the other.

In front of them were several corpses that had been gathered away for the time being, and Dian Shi Ye Yizhi was placed at the front.

Cai Tao slapped the little guy who held an umbrella for himself, and the rain washed his already pale face, engraved his face full of resentment and guilt.

Yang Wei stepped forward and said, "My lord, the four doors are closed."

"Can a thousand households in Changle be there?"

Feng Qianhu arrived at the door, and when he heard this, his steps were a little faster.

Cai Tao wiped his face and said, "The four gates are strictly guarded, and the rest of the people who can be mobilized are searched and arrested throughout the city."

As soon as the words fell, another person rushed in from outside the door, and said eagerly: "Ladies and gentlemen, there is a gang of rogues outside the city, shouting to attack the city."

Cai Tao swept over and asked, "What?"

After regaining his composure, Cai Tao turned to look at his colleagues who had been intriguing in the past, and his voice sank, "Everyone, it seems that tonight is the catastrophe of my Changle." ”

The faces of several people changed, and they knew that they were powerful, and returned: "Your Excellency commands."

Cai Tao said: "Everyone temporarily reinforces the four gates, and they must not be joined by others." As for the small group of rogues in the city, as long as they hold the city, the situation will improve after dawn. The reinforcements from the Qingzhou Mansion also had time to react. In other words, as long as we keep it until dawn, we will have the opportunity to implore the above to give me a chance to atone for my sins......"

Outside the city, Lan Yu, the great leader of Jizhi Mountain, was in a state of agitation, and Yu Guang secretly glanced at the man next to him and swallowed his saliva.

Before this kind of thing in the county seat, he didn't dare to think about it, although he had accumulated a "family business" in Jizhi Mountain. Usually, it was probably just a small thing that was not easy to cause the government to make up its mind to exterminate him, who would have thought that someone would suddenly worship the mountain a few days ago, and after a few rounds, he almost became a loner, in order to survive, he had to agree to come down and help make up this number.

In the team, there are also many acquaintances, and there is no shortage of enemies who have been fighting, but in front of the man next to him, everyone is as well-behaved as a weak chicken, not to mention fighting with a knife, even if he doesn't dare to be loud.

At a certain moment, the man helped the hat and said, "Siege."

A gust of wind swept from the rear, plunged directly into the moat, and headed towards the opposite bank, followed by one by one hook and claws thrown at the head of the city, and black shadows went up the wall. Disappear into the darkness.

After a while, the man commanded again: "It's time to speak."

Behind him, there was a shout of killing, and a lantern approached the city, shining downward, and then the lantern fell on the city, and a painful snort sounded in the dark night.

It's just that Lan Yu doesn't understand, why the city gate is still not opened, could it be that the team that climbed the city before has been discovered? But the city's reaction was not right.

"Ladies and gentlemen, a certain family invites you to come over to enjoy the prosperous world this time, not only for the rebel army that has already fought in Henan, but also for the sake of a few brothers in distress."

Lan Yu collected her thoughts, respectful on her face, but bitter in her heart.

None of them really wanted to do anything big.

The man continued: "Tonight is the beginning of my Shandong father's opposition to tyranny!"

……

The atmosphere did not drop much under the rain, but rose a lot.

Lan Yu glanced back, sighed in her heart, and suddenly remembered an allusion to "chasing ducks to the shelves".

However, he listened to the previous sentence "The rebel army has reached Henan".

Maybe the rebels are really the people's will.

Coming to his senses, the siege began.

The first wave of pressure was the "main formation" brought by the man, and it was still the hook and claw of the envoy to the city, not to mention the style of the martial arts master, but the combat effectiveness was much more formal than that of the ordinary court officers and soldiers.

Lan Yu was a little unsure of the man's whereabouts.

According to the other party's words, everyone is on Shandong Road, but he has never heard of such a bandit. As far as the posture in front of him is concerned, the murderous names of his Lanyu outside are not worth mentioning, and it can even be said that the people in his Lanyu village are really simple and simple.

After a blow on the shoulder, Lan Yu came back to his senses. The man looked at him and smiled: "Lan Da is in charge, your people can be on it."

Lan Yu looked up and saw that the torches had been lit at the head of the city, but they were quickly extinguished by the rain, and there was a faint sound of fighting.

The way of the world has really changed.

Lan Yuce immediately stepped forward and shouted, "Sons, the time has come to make contributions!" ”
