Chapter 117: Firelight

When shouts were heard in the distance, almost everyone in the street looked at the source of the sound.

A few people climbed the wall to look at the firelight and said a few words, so someone in the crowd in front of them exclaimed, beckoning a dozen or twenty people to squeeze through the crowd and leave.

Cheng Ke looked at it a few times, and was sure that it was a grain merchant, and while he was slightly relieved in his heart, he looked at the vacant area and was a little angry.

That's justice!

Even mourning is divided into three, six, nine and so on!

In front were a group of gentlemen and their retinue of guests, and then the people.

The grain merchant even bullied the people on weekdays, and he was still evil, and he actually relied on the abundant food donated by the eight people who sent troops this time, so he felt superior to others and squeezed in front of the people.

I'm afraid that even when I mourn my ancestors, I don't see how enthusiastic these people are.

At this time, the face is really sneering!

Cheng Ke was disdainful in his heart, so he saw Yougong Cao go out of the room where Liu Shi's coffin was placed, inquired a few words, and then asked the people to keep quiet, so as not to disturb the undead, and went in again.

At the same time, the vacated places of a dozen or twenty people were filled by those behind, and the crowd remained quiet—

The accident was clearly not taken seriously, and everything was going according to plan.

Cheng Ke looked down at many familiar figures on the street, took a deep breath, and looked at the nine people in the opposite courtyard who were indifferent and still knelt down to mourn, settled down, and then looked at the firelight, silently calculating the time, and recalling the layout of the city that had been explored before.

At this time, except for the county magistrate and a few officials who were guarding in front of the coffin, including the county lieutenant and the county officer, most of the officials were busy inside and outside the city.

Gather and appease those "divine generals" who surrendered and the people who volunteered to join the army, and also collect grain, grass, weapons, and horses around the city to maintain order inside and outside the city......

Therefore, all the officials and servants in Ancheng, plus the retinue of the guests in their families, were only two or three hundred.

Even the gentry and wealthy people in the city sent people to help, and the people volunteered to participate, and if they wanted to prepare the baggage in one night, they must be negligent in protection because of the urgency of time.

In addition, the people in Gu'an City are now like a rainbow, thinking that they dare not make a small disturbance, and these eight people are brave and good at fighting, the degree of protection of this area is obviously the weakest.

On their own side, there were already twenty or thirty archers in a row of houses around them, and a hundred people in the crowd were scattered everywhere. At the end of the street, there are more than ten people on standby, and once the chaos begins, they will block everywhere, and anyone who passes over will be waiting for them......

Thinking about it this way, Cheng Ke felt that this plan was absolutely foolproof.

The only thing to wait for now is that in a few moments, the other mansions of the gentry and the wealthy merchants, as well as the shops of the wealthy merchants, will be captured by their own people and set on fire at the same time, and if possible, maybe even the county government will be able to burn down......

At that time, more people will inevitably leave with the guests, and the county order will inevitably be alarmed and try to send people to gather people outside the city. As soon as the prefectural order came out, they shot them with an arrow, causing chaos.

Those gentlemen and gentlemen are desperate for their lives, and the mansion is on fire, they will inevitably leave, and the people will be left unattended, and it will be a mess, and then those gentry and heroes will inevitably order people to start killing people and try to break out!

At this time, let the 100 people take advantage of the gap to touch the opposite courtyard to block the exit, and then shoot the 9 people with rockets......

He was a little excited when he remembered the plan at that time, but it was also a little heavy.

If it weren't for the fear that the night would be too dark to gather fire and shoot those nine people, and even the people who were among the nine would be gathered by the surviving people to besiege them, he wouldn't have had to go to such great lengths and use the strategy of diverting the tiger from the mountain.

Of course, it doesn't matter if they're dead or alive.

It's just that relying on the prestige of those eight bullshit god generals, with this matter, the surviving people must be vigilant, and others must also be on guard, and it will be difficult to find this kind of opportunity again.

And because of the death of the other robes, the surviving people will definitely try their best to promote the crusade against the great sages and good teachers, and when the time comes, the people of Gu'an and those soldiers outside the city will be called up to go to Jizhou, which will also be a big trouble for the great sages and good teachers.

Fortunately, according to the plan, it was absolutely foolproof, Cheng Ke thought that such a clever plan came from him, and he was also a little excited, and his eyes were even more pity to scan the people around the street who were unaware, and then looked at the room where Liu Shi's coffin was placed, and listened to the cries of Geng Qiuyi and the Li family faintly, raised his hand and shook the mourning clothes on his body, and bowed with his hands together.

Second Miss, you'd better not come out, so that Cheng can still accept you in the future, let you see how beautiful Cheng is, Cheng guarantees that the Gu'an City governed by Cheng will definitely be a hundred times better than these dog officials!

……

When the fire was lit, Gongsun Yue was leading the white horse into the south city gate, and his somewhat resentful face slowly eased after listening to the explanation of the county Cheng.

“…… It is because of the death of Yuan Qigong, the gods will obey the will to go south to fight the thieves, and now we are so cautious at the other city gates, so that Gongsun Gongzi has been waiting at the east city gate for a long time, and there is something negligent, and I hope that Gongsun Gongzi Haihan. ”

As he spoke, the county priest arched his hand towards Lu Jie beside Gongsun Yue, "Fortunately, this obstruction has allowed the eldest prince and Gongsun Gongzi to converge." That's a good thing. ”

"I never thought about the ...... of Yuan Qigong"

Lu Jie's heart was painful, and then he looked at the fire in the distance, and was slightly stunned.

"Eldest son, it's out of the water."

Mingfu, who was also heavy in his heart, looked at the firelight and took the reins of the carriage and said.

"It's a big fire. What was burned? It seems that he can't stop it. ”

Gongsun Yue looked at the past casually, but he was still imagining the scene depicted by the county Cheng, Liu Zhengzhi took the lead and rushed to kill 50,000 people.

"It's the place where the grain merchant Hong's house is, and looking at the fire, many houses are burning. San'er, you take someone to take a look, there are many people in their family who are now mourning Yuan Qigong, and they may not be able to take care of it. In addition, we will allocate more manpower to allow everyone to patrol more...... Maybe someone is looking for an opportunity to seek revenge. Those rich businessmen who usually misbehave, you should pay special attention to check on them, so as not to cause trouble with villains. You can't let people poke the basket tonight. ”

The county looked at it for a moment, commanded one of the three officials who followed behind, and then shook his head as he walked: "The Hong family has done a lot of bad things in the past few years...... Alas, there are always people who do not think of the silence that the eight gods will work hard to gain and act according to their own hearts. How can you think of such absurdity when you mourn the dead tonight? ”

Lu Jie frowned slightly when he heard this, and suddenly had some bad thoughts in his mind.

Seeing that a servant behind him came out of the south gate to gather people, he glanced around the somewhat empty street, looked at the location of the firelight, frowned and asked, "Are there many people over there in Deran?" I mean the people who maintain order. ”

"It's not much, but it can't be said to be less. Now, not to mention the people of the whole city, at least a few nearby streets have gone, and many local gentry and wealthy merchants have gone to mourn and kneel on the streets. Although there is no shortage of grudges, the deceased are the greatest, and they are naturally in harmony at this time. ”

The county official seemed to realize something, "Don't worry, the eldest prince, there are those gentlemen and powerful guests and servants, and there is no shortage of righteous people among the people, and there will definitely be no trouble over there." ”

He added: "What's more, the eight gods will be brave and incomparable, with them, who dares to make a mistake?" ”

"No, it's not."

Lu Jie shook his head suddenly, looked at the rich and endless firelight, and said solemnly: "Tomorrow, Deran and they will raise troops to fight against the thieves." Tonight is the best time to be! It's useless to have a lot of people, and the light of that fire can be pulled out. It's someone who makes up for it, and if there is another fire, a group of people will definitely be able to be dispatched! Naturally, you say that the people support Deran, but the moth thieves are also the people...... There was a riot, but I don't know how much I could do. ”

When he said this, he hurriedly bowed his hand and said: "If the county forgives the crime, this matter is a big fuss made by Lu, and you should be cautious." Please also ask the county magistrate to inform his subordinates and let people do their best to protect that street, which is the most important thing! If Deran and them die, it will be more than 10,000 thieves outside the city, and it will be just a plate of scattered sand. As for the preparation of the baggage, it is sufficient for the people to do it spontaneously. The reputation of virtue is related to baggage, and these people will never dare to mess around. ”

Gongsun Yue frowned, and said in agreement: "That's right. Be careful to sail the 10,000-year-old ship, and now you are busy outside, which can be said to be the easiest place to start in the entire Gu'an City. Just shoot a few arrows, and you can stab a family master to death. ”

When the county man heard this, his heart sank, and when he thought of that scene, he also felt a chill all over his body, and arched his hand: "What the two sons said is extremely true. A certain family sent someone to it. ”

"No need!"

Gongsun Yue immediately jumped on the white horse, spread his hands with a look of eagerness, and said: "Give me the ribbon, I'll call someone." A certain family is a school captain, and together with your county lieutenant, what is the accident...... No, there will be no surprises! ”

"Then thank you Gongsun Gongzi."

The county took out the seal ribbon and handed it to Gongsun Yue, who turned his horse's head and rushed out of the south gate.

Seeing that the two officials behind him handed over the lantern and turned to leave under the order of the county officer, Lu Jie arched his hand and invited: "Guan Xiancheng, if I wait for the shared carriage to pass, you can talk to me again on the way." ”

"It's an honor for Guan."

The county arched his hand, jumped into the carriage with Lu Jie, and then gave Ming Fu directions while telling Lu Jie the detailed experience.

Soon after, the official called "San'er" led more than 20 people to overtake the carriage and ran towards the mansion of the gentry in the city.

After another moment, Gongsun Yue and the county lieutenant led more than 200 people, overtook the carriage, and galloped towards the city.

……

The night breeze is rising.

Bring a little chill.

Cheng Ke looked at the darkness in the distance and shuddered.

But this tremor seemed to him to be more of a matter of excitement.

With the ignition as the number, the first ignition made people start to rush to kill those gentry and powerful mansions, and after a while, all the captured mansions were set on fire......

At this time, the time before the last ignition is only a hundred breaths.

In a short time, this strategy he planned will clean the whole old peace again!

With some excitement, he greeted the archers on the left and right, asked them to bring the oil lamps to the side, and then turned his head to look at the leaky carving in the room, silently counting down......

At one point, he looked at the countdown behind him.

Three, two, one!

"It's out of the water!"

The shouts rang out from everywhere as expected.

Cheng Ke turned his head and saw that the flames were rising everywhere, and the fire was almost just raised, and it burned brightly, and the fires everywhere seemed to illuminate the whole world.

He couldn't help but be the first to start shouting excitedly, "It's water!" Walk the water! Some even shouted incoherently, "That's a lot of water!" ”

The crowd immediately began to react, many people climbed the wall, immediately shouted a few times, and then many people in this street shouted and shouted, and at the same time squeezed out towards the rear with difficulty, some people even made a lot of noise, some violently pushed and shoved the people blocking the rear and scolded, and then were pushed back by the people with bad tempers, and a dispute began to appear, and some people even started to move.

The riots have begun!

Looking at this scene, Cheng Ke looked at the room where Liu Shi's coffin was temporarily placed with some excitement.

As expected, someone ran out and ran in, followed by the county order, and the face was turned away from the firelight and couldn't really see it, Cheng Ke watched him talk to the official and exchanged a few words, and then the official beckoned three or four people to also walk out of the courtyard, trying to squeeze out, but because of the riots on both sides, it was impossible to move an inch.

The county magistrate even shouted something loudly, as if he was persuading, but those gentlemen and heroes cared about the safety of the mansion at this time, so they naturally would not obey the order.

There were also a few shouts in the courtyard opposite, but Cheng Ke couldn't hear it clearly.

Seeing the county commander standing alone on the steps and shouting, his whole body trembled with excitement, and he raised his hand and shouted: "Archer! Shoot! ”
