Chapter 60: The War of the People

By the time Xiao Zheng rushed over with people, except for seeing the moaning wounded in the Hangzhou prison and the corpses of several servants lying on the ground, Gong Dajun had already disappeared.

"Let all the people who patrol the city strengthen the inspection of the city wall, and don't open the city gate in the morning to prevent these people from running out," Xiao Zheng said coldly to Wei Qingquan next to him as he looked coldly at the Venerable Master lying on the ground.

This is the biggest challenge Xiao Zheng has faced since he arrived in Jiangnan. Now that the world has decided, Xiao Zheng has seen the matter of robbing prisons and anti-prison in books and movies, but in this era, Xiao Zheng has never even heard of it. First, the prison was heavily guarded and the walls were so high that it was difficult for ordinary manpower to open the cell door alone to carry out rescue operations. Second, the guy in his hand is not even enough to rob the prison, how to cut the thick prison door with a two- or three-foot knife.

This kind of thing has not happened in the Sui Dynasty during the great cause of the Sui Dynasty, Cheng Yanjin told Xiao Zheng at that time that after he went in, he was released by looking for someone to raise money to make a pawn, which was the best way. This time, the robber was caused by these people jumping over the wall, and after entering, they knocked on the door of the cell and rescued the people from the inside.

Provocation! Blatant provocation! Xiao Zheng looked at the green tendons on the heads of the wounded in one place.

Not long after, Ji Chun quietly approached like a tanuki and said to Xiao Zheng: "I walked on the city walls on both sides of the southeast, and I didn't find anyone out of the city."

"Brother Xiao, no one went out on the border city walls in the northwest, and I also found a few teams of Wuhou patrolling the city on the way, and they also said that they didn't find any figures" Gong Ruoyi gasped and ran in and said.

Turning his head to Wei Qingquan, he said, "Send someone to call the shopkeeper Xie of the Jiangnan Printing Bureau, and find someone to collect the more magnets, the better."

Wei Qingquan had already been frightened at this time, there was such a big thing on the ground under his own jurisdiction, and it was in front of his own boss that he robbed the prison and rebelled against the prison, which was no different from rebellion. If Xiao Zheng wanted to clean him up or find a scapegoat, tonight's incident would be enough to dismiss him on the spot, but fortunately, Xiao Zheng didn't trouble him.

When Wei Qingquan was thinking nonsense, he suddenly heard Xiao Zheng say something without a trace, and he was stunned for a moment. He couldn't figure out what Xiao Zheng was doing with these people, but he still cleverly chose to shut up and turn around and call someone to go.

commanded the people to treat the injured servants and block the streets, and when they were almost busy, the sky was already white.

Back in the lobby of Hangzhou, looking at a few businessmen who came over, Xiao Zheng and the Yan brothers found a large piece of paper with more than three feet, and immediately started to draw Gong Dajun's appearance by sketching, and said to Xie Wenxin of the Printing Bureau: "Immediately find someone to engrave and print according to the drawing, the more the better."

At this time, the Xuanjia army that was released also rushed back, and the team of the Xuanjia army, Yang Tong, said to Xiao Zheng: "Lord Hui, I was ordered to conduct a comprehensive inspection along the city wall of Hangzhou, and there are no traces of climbing on all the city walls."

Xiao Zheng didn't have the slightest doubt about the strength of the Xuanjia Army, as long as he confirmed that he didn't leave the city, it would be easy to do.

Gong Ruoyi held a short arrow more than a foot long in his hand, looked at it for a while and said to Xiao Zheng: "Brother Xiao, this kind of short arrow is installed on the top of the hand, the power is not great, it is effective within five zhang, the production can only be said to be medium and upper, as for who made it, I can't tell."

"It's hidden deep enough, but let's see how Lao Tzu digs you out," Xiao Zheng said to himself with a smile.

Early in the morning, the people of Hangzhou, who had just taken to the streets, suddenly heard extremely shocking news: the Hangzhou prison was robbed last night, and the court was recidivided, and I heard that three errand officials who were guarding the prison had died. The news spread throughout Hangzhou like an explosion, and it was a major case that had not happened since the founding of the Tang Dynasty. For a while, the city gates of Hangzhou City were not opened, and heavily armed soldiers began to search suspicious people in the streets, and everyone felt the tension in the air.

Near noon, the gates of Hangzhou suddenly opened, and fast horses ran out of the city with thick portraits on their backs.

After the city gate of Hangzhou was opened, some people found that the portrait of the wanted criminal posted at the city gate was refreshing, and the painting was not counted, even the height and weight were clearly stated, and what was even more shocking was that the reward amount had reached an unprecedented 1,000! With this thousand, ordinary people can live comfortably in this life, and the eyes of everyone in Hangzhou are attracted by the bounty.

After Xiao Zheng arrived in Jiangnan, his reputation for loving the people like a son had already been played, and now that the government is in trouble, everyone wants to help Lord Xiao. The people in the chamber of commerce even passed the news to the guys in the shops, the key is that there is still a bounty to take, everyone is staring at Gong Dajun, after all, the temptation of a thousand times is not ordinary, and at the same time, the guests of the teahouses and restaurants in Hangzhou are also talking about the robbery.

After a short period of tension, Hangzhou City quickly calmed down, but the procedures for people going out of the city were more cumbersome, and after checking the "inspection", the guards guarding the gate asked some suspicious men who had passed through the city gate to pass a wooden frame three feet wide and eight feet high, and a seesaw-like thing was placed in front of the wooden frame. At first, many people didn't understand what this wooden frame was for, until a blacksmith went out of the city, and the small hammer he was carrying was sucked into the wooden frame, and he realized that there was a magnet inside, and the seesaw-like thing was used to weigh himself.

"My lord, will we make such a fuss that will make the people of Hangzhou feel that we are too cowardly and will damage the face of the government, and the lower officials still suggest that it is better for you to transfer troops to search" Xu Jingzong said to Xiao Zheng.

"Lao Xu, do you say that there are more people in Hangzhou or more officers and soldiers?"

"Of course, there are many people in Hangzhou," Xu Jingzong said without the slightest consideration.

"I just want to transfer troops to how many people can come, and it is easier to startle the snake when there are more people, and looking for these 20 or so people in Ruoda Hangzhou City is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack. As long as we strengthen the city defense and prevent him from going out, and mobilize the people of Hangzhou, everyone will be soldiers at that time, I don't believe that he Gong Dajun and his gang can escape into Huangquan? ”。

Xu Jingzong understood after listening to Xiao Zheng's words, and said to Xiao Zheng: "My lord, your idea is really clever, and the officials admire it."

"It is not difficult to do anything in the future, as long as you can mobilize the people to do something, this method has a different name."

"Your Excellency, please give me advice."

"It's called 'the vast sea of the people's war', haha......."

Three days later, even the patrolling soldiers could not be seen in the streets, but the inventory at the city gate was still carried out in a step-by-step manner. Near noon, a wheelbarrow came to the west gate of Hangzhou, with some groceries on it, and a man pushed it out, followed by a person, both of whom were dressed as men.

After the guards checked the "public examination" of the two of them, they measured their height and weight, and there was no problem after a few interrogations. So he let the two of them go out of the city. When the two of them were pushing the cart past the wooden frame, the two silk horses on the roof of the car suddenly flew to the wooden frame unexpectedly.

The searching soldiers were taken aback and shouted "Stop!" ”。

A team walked over in two steps and ripped off the two silk cloths that were sucked on them, and when the silk was torn open, the two unsheathed steel knives were exposed.
