Chapter 156: Making a Big Trouble in Yanjing 12
In a hurry, there were no suitable tools, let alone pressurization equipment, so he had to use stupid methods in order to be able to pour the steamed wine everywhere at once.
Zhou Nan asked Gao Shouxiao to find a large wooden bucket containing water, pour out the water inside, and then find a bamboo pipe about one zhang long, open the bamboo knots inside, and dig many holes at one end. According to the thickness of the bamboo pipe, a round hole was dug at the bottom of the side of the barrel, and the end without a hole was stuffed into the round hole on the barrel, which was just plugged tightly. The two took advantage of the darkness to move the large wooden barrel to the window on the second floor, poked out the bamboo pipe, stretched it out to the top of the backyard, and when everything was arranged, they found a wooden stopper, wrapped it in linen, stuffed the bamboo pipe into the end of the barrel, and then poured the steamed wine they sent this time, and poured more than ten jars before it was full.
Zhou Nan thought that the thieves who came tonight would break through the iron clips, crossbow arrows, and wood to hit these passes, and then the two of them would shoot the rest of the thieves with arrows, and then they would leave in a carriage and set the restaurant on fire, so that they could relieve the pressure on the city wall. Even Gao Shouxiao felt that their organs were enough to deal with the incoming people, and there would be no more problems.
It's just that the biggest surprise is that Pu Da actually brought more than 20 people to kill him "mightily". He didn't want to think about it, there was a street across the south of the restaurant was the palace wall, and what was going on in the restaurant could be seen clearly on the palace wall, which attracted the guards in the palace, and no one could escape.
Fortunately, before the palace guards arrived, Gao Yuan and Gao Shouzhong arrived by car. Gao Shouxiao, who was guarding the upper floor of the restaurant, had also seen Gao Yuan and Gao Shouzhong, but there seemed to be more and more people in this courtyard, coming and going, this palace forbidden place, I was afraid that there would be more and more people, so he didn't care about the steamed wine and finally set it on fire, so he simply pulled out the wooden stopper stuffed with bamboo pipes, and sprayed a whole large barrel of steamed wine into the yard.
Looking at the raging flames in the courtyard, Gao Shouxiao was not afraid, but he had already seen the gate of the palace in the west open from the restaurant, and a team of guards rushed out from inside and ran here.
This large vat of steamed wine has burned the guards and soldiers in the courtyard, and when the group of guards from the palace come in, there will be no more steamed wine to burn, if he and Zhou Nan don't go out again, they will really not be able to leave.
So Gao Shouxiao was the first to rush downstairs and shouted for Zhou Nan to leave quickly. The four of them walked through the blazing flames in the courtyard, and apart from the slight charring of their hair, it was not a big deal. It is the characteristic of this steamed wine that it looks very hot and big, but it is not very hot. Otherwise, people in the past would not have used alcohol for cupping.
The leader of the palace guards was a Khitan man with hair and short clothes, and when he followed him to the alley, Zhou Nan's carriage had already turned to Dongmian Street and galloped north.
The leader of the guards angrily kicked over the few guards in front who didn't dare to chase after him, but he couldn't catch up anymore, so he had to take people back to the restaurant.
At this time, the steamed wine had already been burned, and only some clothes were burned, and it was no longer the terrifying blue-purple flame just now, so these soldiers quickly extinguished the fire on their bodies, and they were the same as the guards brought by Hu Dugu, the clothes on their bodies were scorched, their hair burned a few pieces, some of their shoes were burned, their bare feet, their quivers and bow bags were also burned, and the burns on their bodies were not serious.
The leader of the palace guards looked at the anxious soldiers and princess palace guards in front of him viciously, and waved his hand to let his guards surround all these people.
After fighting for a while in the courtyard of the restaurant, the soldiers patrolling the city and the guards of the princess's mansion were surrounded in the middle, and no one dared to speak.
At this moment, the patrol soldier's team walked up to the leader on crutches, and explained to the leader with a sad face. In fact, the team leader also recognizes this team leader, after all, they are all patrolling in the city, although their status is different.
The team leader listened to the team's story and understood what had happened. Let this team count their subordinates, and take care of the guards of the princess's mansion first, and wait for the official to take them. The guards of the princess's mansion are now under guard, and they can't find Hu Dugu, although they are angry, they are helpless, so they have to stand aside obediently.
The leader asked the city patrol team to send two men to follow him to the courtyard to check.
The team was still worried about the fire in the courtyard, and seeing that they didn't need to go by themselves, they hurriedly ordered two people and followed the palace guards to the courtyard of the restaurant.
A few people entered the courtyard through the open back door, only to see that there were still fires burning everywhere in the courtyard, but they were all ignited bamboo and wood and other things, and there was no longer the terrible scene of the raging fire just now.
On the ground in the courtyard lay some people who had died in battle, identifying them from their clothes and appearances, including soldiers patrolling the city and guards of the princess's mansion, which was clear at a glance. There are also more than a dozen men dressed in ordinary people's clothes, but they are very raw, and they are called in to identify a guard from the princess's mansion, and they don't know each other, but they are not from the princess's mansion.
Under the count, the soldiers patrolling the city were killed in 17 battles and wounded more than 20 people; The guards of the princess's mansion ran away from a Hudugu, ten people were killed in the battle, and the rest were waiting outside the restaurant; There were also thirteen men in ordinary clothes who had been killed, and four men who were also dressed in ordinary clothes were cleared out of the people who had run out into the street.
Under the interrogation of the guard leader, only these seventeen men in ordinary clothes were left, half of them were Hu Dugu's family, and the other half were people brought by Pu Da, a subordinate who rebelled against Yelu Yujian. He also talked about Pu Da and others' intention to snatch the seal of Yelu Yu Liyan, the princess of Shu Kingdom.
The leader of the guards was shocked and hurriedly ordered the three men to be taken care of. personally brought people in, and carefully searched all the inside and outside of the restaurant, confirming that there was no living person in the restaurant. After coming out, he asked the three people about the whereabouts of Pu A. Later, the three people only said that after the ground was on fire, they each fled for their lives in panic and never saw Pu Da again. The guard leader asked the three of them to go in to search, and finally found Pu Da, who had been killed in the chaotic battle, in the backyard of the restaurant, and his clothes had been scorched.
The guard leader asked the soldiers who patrolled the city again, and they all said that before the fire, they had seen a woman standing upstairs in the backyard, and they had not seen it since the fire.
The building in the restaurant was not ignited, and the guard leader ordered someone to search the restaurant again, and there was a princess's seal and the like. The palace guards were carrying torches, and after searching twice, they did not find any seals. The leader of the team had no choice but to order his subordinates to take care of this cadre, and he returned to the palace overnight to report in detail to the chief guard Yelu Fonu. His own business has been done, and as for the arrest of the rebel and the princess in the city, it is not his business.
