The sky is bright, and the once prosperous Hanjiang River workshop group is filled with fireworks and chaotic scenes.

The displaced people who came out of the mountains on both sides of the Han River captured most of the surviving workshops in less than an hour, and then went straight to Mingyueji. At this time, except for less than ten workshop compounds and a few attics of Wang San's compounds, other places have become a paradise for the miserable and homeless.

There are 20,000 small homeless people gathered near Mingyueji, and they are still growing.

The homeless people, who are suffering from cold and hunger and have no food and clothing, seem to have just come to the world. They carefully searched every piece of clothing, even every piece of cloth. They don't let go of anything to eat, even if it's a bucket of swill, there are homeless people fighting for it.

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes.

After more than 270 people died or were excited, the homeless people who were wandering around and collecting food, clothing, and cloth by the way were gathered by their respective leaders, ready to divide the interests and deal with the officers and soldiers who were ready to go out at any time.

The workshops that produced clothing and fabrics, and the businesses that ran the grain business, were robbed by the most ferocious gangs of homeless people. When the leaders of the most powerful outcasts saw that several inferior outcasts had taken advantage of their struggle to loot supplies and annex small groups, they were about to overtake them, so they stopped the conflict.

Six outcasts stand out and become the big bosses, joining forces to suppress the other outcasts. A few small leaders refused to accept it and were immediately thrown into the icy Han River.

After some discussion, four of the leaders of the displaced people went to Mingyueji, collected various materials, and negotiated with Wang San. The remaining two homeless leaders remained in the workshop group, sorting the materials they could use, and keeping an eye on the movements of the officials and soldiers.

The leader of the exiles who killed Bao Jiali last night is discussing with another big boss what to do next.

These two people were also reasonable, and understood that although their six leaders in charge of affairs had many subordinates, they were not enough to see in front of the officers and soldiers. They either hurried to collect winter supplies and returned to the mountains, or they took the shopkeepers of Mingyueji's large and small merchants as hostages to gain a foothold on the edge of the Han River.

The well-dressed cronies stood in the distance, and heard some words intermittently in the cold wind:

"I can't imagine that Mingyuezhuang's combat power is so fierce! More than 800 officers and troops entered the village, and more than 600 people fought against the 100 people in Mingyuezhuang, but they were directly defeated? The captured officer had just said this, and the Sprinkle family couldn't believe it. ”

Lao Tzu wondered if the officials and soldiers in Shiyan were too wasteful. The seven hundred officers and soldiers came out of Mingyuezhuang and saw that there were many of us, and they actually fled so fast. If it weren't for the fear of the official army making a big move, Lao Tzu really wanted to directly take down Xunyang Mansion City. ”

"Ahem, the Xiangjun township soldiers of Xunyang and Shiyan add up to nearly 10,000? The Han River has been recruiting people here, resulting in the huge Qinling Bashan, and there are not many displaced people. That Li Xiang Zhuang owner had an idea and gave many people a way to live. ”

Speaking of Mingyuezhuang, Lao Tzu also admires it very much, that is, there are too many rules, otherwise Lao Tzu would have defected to ...... It's a bad thing, so that the people who attacked the remaining workshops in Mingyue Village stopped. Lao Tzu remembered that there were less than a hundred people who defeated hundreds of officers and soldiers in Mingyuezhuang. I heard that there are at least 200 people in Mingyue Village, all of whom are in the mountains to the west! ”

"Grandpa's, the Sprinkle family will accompany you to make amends. If you really provoke that Li Xiang, when people free their hands, don't you take Zhuang Ding around to take revenge?! ”

Who are the homeless afraid of? I'm afraid I can fight. Mingyuezhuang confirmed that he could fight, and the homeless people felt that Mingyuezhuang was more terrible than the official army.

The carpenter's workshop is crumbling.

After all, there are too many homeless people, and the workshop owners such as Carpenter, Lei Cheng, and Wu Xiaoling have limited guards and limited weapons, and they will soon be overwhelmed by the wave attacks of the homeless.

Wu Xiaoling and the others were ready to die and the net was broken, but the displaced people outside the wall did not launch a new attack for a long time. Lei Cheng pressed Wu Xiaoling, put on an iron helmet disguised as a hat, and climbed the wall to check.

The two homeless people, who were wrapped in cloth all over their bodies, pushed a guy with a blue nose and swollen face to step forward, "We are ordered by the leader to return the messenger of your owner." ”

"Our leader also said that he didn't take good care of him before, so that his unwitting subordinates offended everyone in Mingyuezhuang. Our leaders are willing to return some goods, just hoping that your owner can open up to the homeless people. ”

Lei Cheng was stunned. He looked at Wu Xiaoling who was waiting in the compound, and when he saw Wu Xiaoling nodding, he said a few polite words, opened the door and welcomed the owner's personal guards in.

The guards sent by Li Xiang to deliver the message were obviously beaten, half of the teeth in his mouth were broken, and his head and face were swollen. The fierce young man spat blood, "The owner of the village ordered, let the Han River be more chaotic, to what extent, the three of them can grasp it themselves." ”

Wu Xiaoling and the three of them smiled bitterly, "The homeless people come out of the mountain, we don't need to make a move." The owner will get the news soon, so wait. Dare to ask, how many homeless leaders are there, why have they become so polite? ”

The young man puffed up his chest, ignoring the bleeding from his leaky mouth, and said proudly: "Isn't it that we can fight yet?" Uncle Liu Sheng took the 100 people and defeated several times the number of officers and troops at once. They are welcome, and wait until the owner of the village has his free hands, and they have a good ......"

Listening to the story of the owner's personal guard, Wu Xiaoling and the others inadvertently straightened their waists. The shopkeeper who cried about his heavy losses and the stewards who regretted the loss of their relatives and friends also unconsciously regained their confidence.

Mingyue Village did not fall, the owner did not fall, and the young people in the village could fight!

Under the heavy reward, one of the workshop owners, who had lost all his family property, came out of the carpenter's workshop compound tremblingly and negotiated with the two leaders of the homeless people.

A strange scene happened.

After a pillar of incense, the workshop owner who acted as a warrior entered Wu Xiaoling's workshop. Wu Xiaoling's workshop threw out all the clothes, hats, shoes and socks, sewing and cloth, and exchanged them for some expensive furniture and silk and twine.

After two pillars of incense, the warrior entered Lei Cheng's workshop. Lei Cheng's workshop threw out a large number of iron pots, shovels, scissors, hoes, and charcoal stoves. In addition to the above-mentioned things, there are also some leather and beef tendons.

After five incense sticks, the carpenter also threw the accumulated chicken carts and axles out of the courtyard and exchanged them for some copper coins and ingots.

Half an hour later, the two leaders of the displaced people released the captured personnel of Mingyuezhuang, and Wu Xiaoling and others also took out a large amount of materials as ransom.

The transaction was completed to the satisfaction of both parties......

While Wu Xiaoling and the others were busy communicating with the two leaders, Wang San and several representatives of the big merchants started sincere but insincere negotiations with the four leaders of the displaced people who were dressed sharply.

After shouting for half an hour from a distance of dozens of meters, Wang San, whose voice was on fire, wrote a distress letter, together with the request of the leader of the displaced people and the urgent letter from the shopkeeper of the big business, and sent it to Xunyang and Shiyan by horse.

The prefect of Xunyang was the first to learn the details of the situation on the banks of the Han River. He sat down in his chair and shouted luckily, "Mingyuezhuang didn't pull the flag to rebel, and the homeless people didn't pull the flag to rebel." God's favor, I'm finally lucky, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay, I'm scared to death. ”

Soon, Shiyan Zhizhou also received a large stack of letters from Mingyueji.

Shiyan Prefecture City with the city gate closed, the back hall of Zhizhou Yamen. Lord Zhizhou breathed a sigh of relief and almost fainted.

While the Lord Zhizhou shouted for luck, he could no longer suppress his resentment against some people, and his cultivation that had been maintained for decades collapsed, "The Huang family is rampant!" ”

"It is just a matter of wantonly annexing land, oppressing small people, lending usury, and paying less taxes, but now he is rushing into Mingyuezhuang for his own selfish interests. also arranged for the dead to shoot Li Xiang in public, in the eyes of some people, is there still a royal law?! ”

"I also sent people to disrupt the workshop of Mingyuezhuang, what is the result? The villagers of Mingyuezhuang began to take revenge, and the spoily gangsters of Mingyueji all moved, and the flames soared to the sky! In the end, it caused the displaced people to revolt, and almost rebelled! Lord Zhizhou pinched his thin fingers and continued to jump his feet, "Mingyuezhuang, as a strong man, is still trying his best to suppress it. As the pillars of the country, how did the gentry do it? ”

"Ben Zhizhou and all my colleagues have done their best to make a bright moon market on the side of the Han River, and add some taxes to the court......" Lord Zhizhou couldn't breathe, took a few sips of tea handed over by the judge, and then slowed down his speech:

"Some people ignore the overall situation, lack of greed, and act blatantly. Now it's okay, the banks of the Han River in the north, Mingyueji, and even Mingyuezhuang are all chicken feathers. The evaluation of Benzhizhou is out of play, so you should also ask for more blessings. ”

Lord Zhizhou scraped a nice sound on the teacup with a tea cover. The subordinate officials of the state government and the six-room clerk who were present got up and persuaded a few words, then shook their heads and sighed one by one, and went home to scold.

Shiyan Zhizhou is so tired.

Seeing that the second year of Shengxi was about to end, Lord Zhizhou looked at the accounts happily a few days ago, and thought happily: It is equivalent to 3.5 times the commercial tax in previous years, and the evaluation will definitely be good. After 19 years of hard study and 14 years of official career, I can finally leave an embarrassing place like Shiyan, and maybe I can stay in Gyeonggi Province......

Reality gave Lord Zhizhou a blow to the head, and Huang Liren made a move on Mingyuezhuang.

On the bright side, it was the Huang Cheng family who attacked Mingyuezhuang, but Shiyan Zhizhou has received many letters from senior officials in the past half a month, and most of the letters mean: The old man heard that you were a good seedling back then, but you were not lucky, and you arrived in a ghost place like Shiyan. I recently heard that you have done a good job in office, and I have time to come and talk. The old man is optimistic about you, sincerely.

After all, he was a high-level intellectual who had read the books of sages for decades, and of course Lord Zhizhou understood the true intention of those letters.

With tiredness, joy and apprehension, Lord Zhizhou replied with a penny. Although he had all kinds of worries and reluctance, he could only sit back and watch Huang Liren's plan go on step by step.

Huang Liren made a move, but now? Chicken feathers all over the place.

The two sides of the Han River are like this, no one has reaped the benefits, and the happiest ones have suffered heavy losses, which is simply ...... Lord Zhizhou knew that he had to do the aftermath of wiping his ass, which was really unlucky.

cut off people's financial means and kill their parents. Cut off people's careers, enemies of life and death.

Lord Zhizhou scolded Huang Liren in his heart, and at the same time strengthened his spirit, and began to write letters to the subordinate officials and martial artists of Shiyan Prefecture to unify his voice. To clean up the mess and explain the rising riots clearly, the unlucky Xunyang prefect Lin is the most important thing, who let Mingyueji be under the nose of Xunyang Mansion City?

It was almost three o'clock in the morning, and the Zhizhou master finalized and transcribed the long article written to the prefect of Lin.

Lord Zhizhou was holding his eyelids and was admiring his calligraphy, when he heard the sound of an argument coming from the courtyard gate, and then someone knocked on the door of the study, "Master, the two gentlemen and the commander of the capital ask to see you." ”

Lord Zhizhou came to the living room suspiciously, not knowing that the two staff members and the commander of the Xiang army came over urgently, what was the matter?

After the ceremony, the tall and thin staff surnamed Jiang couldn't wait to say, "Houxue dares to ask your lord." If there is Li Xiang's strong cooperation, can adults have a way to revive Mingyueji and save the situation of the evaluation? ”

Lord Zhizhou, who had just wiped his face with cold water, stood up "Teng", "Is this true?" Then Li Xiang suffered such a big loss, and it was too late to secretly seek more benefits, why did he vigorously cooperate with the government? ”

"Houxue doesn't dare to talk nonsense. Ahem, news came from Jiangnan, the official army was defeated, and Liu Chengdong was besieged in Deqing County! ”
