Chapter 43: The Rebellion of Officers and Soldiers

When Kang Damao and his entourage hurried back to Kangfu, they found that there was a commotion in the courtyard, and everyone immediately gathered around them, and found that it was several cooks from Kangfu who were carrying kitchen knives in their hands and pinning a dirty victim dressed to the ground.

The victim said arrogantly: "Damn, hurry up and let go of Lao Tzu, otherwise you people will not be able to eat and walk around." ”

I'm chasel! Burglary in broad daylight, and now that he has been caught, he can still be so tough, which made Kang Damao suddenly interested, and Kang Damao pushed away the surrounding people and immediately walked over.

"Shaodong, you came back just in time, a group of disaster victims came in just now, and only one was caught, look at this kid is still very hard-mouthed." When the cook saw Kang Damao coming in, he immediately said.

Kang Damao listened to the cook's words and nodded quietly, he waved his hand to let the cooks take the kitchen knife in their hands off the man's neck, the cooks did so, the man got up from the ground immediately without restraint, he stood in front of Kang Damao with his head held high, not afraid at all.

Hey? This guy is interesting!

"Aren't you afraid that I'll send you to the official?" Kang Damao stared at the other party and asked.

"What's there to be afraid of, just send it." The man said with a hint of smugness in his eyes, although it was only a flash, but it was all in Kang Damao's view.

Aren't you afraid of sending the official? This should not be an ordinary disaster victim, just like I thought when I came, normal disaster victims should go to Zhengyuan Street to receive porridge, this person's identity is very suspicious.

"Young owner, this is what I just found out of this kid." As he spoke, the cook brought the things to Kang Damao.

Kang Damao looked down, in addition to some valuable things at home, he actually saw a waist card, Kang Damao took the waist card in his hand and looked at it, his eyes suddenly widened, and then he stared at the man and asked, "Are you a green battalion soldier?" ”

"Humph! Count your acquaintance, let Lao Tzu go, otherwise Lao Tzu will lead someone to raze your Kangfu. When the green battalion soldier saw that Kang Damao had seen through his identity, he no longer concealed it, and his tone became a little more arrogant.

"As a dignified green battalion soldier, you actually pretended to be a disaster victim to rob the house, you know the law and break the law, and you dare to be arrogant with me, come here, tie him up and beat me hard." Kang Damao said lunarily.

"You dare to lynch Lao Tzu, you are dead, let me go......" The green battalion soldiers struggled hard.

At this time, a group of family members had already tied him up, and Erhu picked up his sleeves and bowed left and right at his face, and after a while, he beat this guy into a pig's head.

"Don't ...... Other...... Fight again! I...... Wrong, I won't dare to do it again, please let me go. The Green Battalion finally couldn't bear it anymore and began to beg for mercy.

The rest of the Kang family pointed at the green battalion soldiers for a while and laughed and scolded, but Kang Damao kept his face tight, he faintly saw bad signs from these green battalion soldiers pretending to be disaster victims to rob the house, this bad feeling made him uneasy all afternoon, as if something big was going to happen.

Sure enough, at night, it was noisy outside, there were hurried footsteps everywhere, and in the darkness the ancient town was full of fires, and you could faintly hear "It's on fire!" Fight the fire! With such a hurried shout, the entire Zhenjiang Mansion was chaotic for a while.

Kang Damao immediately asked the Kang Mansion to close the doors and windows, and was on guard, everyone was solemn, not knowing what was happening outside.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! There was a sharp knock outside the door.

Erhu immediately led people to the gate and whispered to the outside of the gate, "Who?" What's knocking on the door? ”

"I am a citizen who has received the favor of the young owner, and I came here to tell you that the officers and soldiers of Zhenjiang Mansion have rebelled, you should be careful at night."

Kang Damao immediately asked Erhu to open the door and invite the people who reported the news into the house.

"How could officers and soldiers suddenly rebel?" Kang Damao asked suspiciously.

"I heard that the soldiers died during the construction of the embankment, and the prefect and the county order not only did not compensate the families of the dead soldiers, but also beat and scolded the soldiers, and the prefect also withheld the salary that the officers and soldiers should have paid in the month, which caused a mutiny, and now the government and the county government are occupied by officers and soldiers." The people spoke in detail.

Alas! Kang Damao sighed helplessly after listening to the words of the messenger, this is the end of greed, Zhenjiang Mansion has such an insatiable prefect and county order, it is not surprising that the officers and soldiers rioted, but this made the people of Zhenjiang Mansion even more bitter.

It was originally just a natural disaster, but now it is a natural and man-made disaster.

Three days later, Zhenjiang Mansion was completely out of control, and the officers and soldiers began to burn and loot on a large scale.

Five days later, Zhenjiang Prefecture ran out of food completely, and not only did the victims not have a single day to eat, but even the grain shops were empty, and they had already been looted by the officers and men.

When Abao came back and told Kang Damao about the situation, Kang Damao couldn't sit still, he sent Erhu out to report the news that night, he sent a letter to the envoy, and wanted to inform the court through him, so that the court could send troops to suppress the riot officers and soldiers, and then let Erhu rush to Luohe Kang's house to transport some food to Zhenjiang Mansion for emergency, Kang Damao also knew that this way was dangerous, so he let Linglong and Erhu go together.

Just as Kang Damao was anxiously waiting, Erhu and Linglong turned back that night, it turned out that the Green Camp Army also rebelled, and they also found out that the soldiers of the government also took refuge in the Green Camp Army, and now the entire Zhenjiang Mansion is the Green Camp Army's Chief Soldier.

Not only that, but now the large and small wharves of Zhenjiang Mansion have been occupied by the Green Camp Army, and there is no way to escape to report the news, the two of them have investigated along the river, the water on the river is fierce, and it is likely that the ship will capsize and destroy people if they force the boat, so they have to turn back.

Kang Damao sat in the hall, frowning and not saying a word.

As the so-called house leak happened to rain overnight, Kang Damao here was still thinking about how to spread the news to suppress the riot and save the people, and the green battalion soldiers over there had already surrounded Kang Mansion.

It turned out that someone sent a message to these green battalion soldiers that the Kang family was a big household in Zhenjiang Mansion, and there were countless rare treasures and precious porcelain in the mansion, and the most important thing was that a lot of food was stored, which made these green battalion soldiers red-eyed and directly surrounded Kang Mansion.

How good is that? The more critical the moment, the calmer Kang Damao became.

We must not sit idly by, and only by escaping for the present can we turn things around.

Kang Damao called Linglong, Xiaohua, Erhu, Abao, and Sun's shopkeeper all to the hall to discuss matters, and the Kang Mansion was brightly lit, and several people talked about the rooster before they dispersed.

In the morning, the day was bright, and the shopkeeper Sun took the family and the maids to start a porridge shed outside the courtyard and was giving porridge again, at this time, the porridge and the porridge some time ago are not the same concept at all, this porridge can save a person, the nearby victims are all rushing over, if someone does not maintain order can overturn the bottom of the pot!

The victims were not as grateful to Kang Damao as before, and now they are all kneeling on the ground and kowtowing.

"Look at the soup kitchen over there, damn, the old men are so hungry that they are dizzy, and their Kang family still has extra food to use for soup kitchen."

"The boss of this Kangfu is really dark, and he doesn't know how much food is hoarded in this mansion."

"Boss, why don't you rush in with your brothers, brother, I'm really hungry."

"Don't worry, wait, there's a reply from above soon."

"Why don't we go over and get a bowl of porridge too? Idle is idle anyway. ”

"Shut up! You're still wearing this skin, you're not ashamed! ”

"I feel that I am not as good as the victims of the disaster now, let's not die to save face and suffer guilt, okay?"

Some of them rubbed their stomachs and licked their mouths, staring at the steaming cauldron through their eyes, for fear that the victims would sweep away the porridge in the pot.

After a while, a family member in Kangfu brought out a basket of steaming white steamed buns and put them in front of the shop, and the eyes of the victims were straight.

The expressions of the officers and soldiers are called a rich,! Not only do you have porridge to drink, but also white steamed buns to eat, oh my God! Lao Tzu really wants to be a disaster victim now, as long as he can fill his stomach, you can say that I am a beggar, and there are already officers and soldiers slowly moving towards the porridge shop.

"Ladies and gentlemen, don't be stunned, hurry up and eat something hot, you have all shared." Shopkeeper Sun waved enthusiastically to the officers and soldiers.

"I'm going to Nima! Lao Tzu can't care so much. After speaking, an officer and soldier dropped the spear in his hand and rushed directly towards the porridge shop, he was so excited that he almost fell on his head, he couldn't care so much, at this moment he only had the snow-white steamed bun in his eyes.

"Brother, wait for me." Immediately someone rushed over.

Someone took the lead, and the green battalion soldiers who were still surrounding Kangfu just now hula like a pack of hungry wolves all rushed towards the porridge shop.

The officer and soldier who took the lead saw that they were all hungry like this, and they were pretending to be a fart, so he gritted his teeth and rushed over, pushed away the victims who were blocking the front, and grabbed two big steamed buns and ate them as soon as he stretched out his hand.

No one noticed that at this time, four people quietly slipped out of the Kang Mansion, it was Kang Damao, Linglong, Erhu and Abao.

After the four of them slipped out, they unexpectedly did not go together, but divided into two ways, Kang Damao took Erhu, Linglong and Abao, and disappeared into the street.
