Night is approaching, and the gate of Binh Duong City will be closed.

In the distance, a team of 2,000 people came towards Pingyang City.

The first two war horses galloped and galloped towards the city gate.

"The prefect returned triumphantly, the prefect returned triumphantly, Kaejo greeted, Kaejo greeted." The knights on the two horses circled twice under the city gate, shouted and then headed again towards the large procession in the distance.

After the knight left, the guards at the city gate discussed: "The prefect has returned, and it looks like he has won the battle." ”

"Hmph, it's just a group of bandits composed of outcasts, you don't have to think about it to know that it must be a victory, what is there to show off."

Xiaoqi stepped forward and shouted: "Whatever nonsense, stand up for me." ”

Then he stood at the front, looking forward to it with a flattering face.

The soldiers behind him all showed disdain.

The procession was mighty and came from afar.

The guard of honor at the head raised a sign past, and the two sedan chairs behind were carried in steadily.

Behind him was Zhang Xiahai, who had a cold face, riding a high-headed horse and following in silently.

Xiaoqi kept bowing and saluting: "Congratulations to the prefect for his victory, and congratulations to the commander for making the lord return victorious." ”

Unfortunately, no one responded.

In the dim light, no one noticed that the soldiers who entered the city gate were unfamiliar faces.

The sky was about to dark, and the lights had not yet been held, and the soldiers lowered their heads and their faces were unclear.

Except for Zhang Xiahai, who has always been cold-faced, he can be recognized at a glance.

But as long as Zhang Xiahai is there, it is enough.

The one in front was wearing the standard military uniform of the Ming Dynasty officers and soldiers, and the clothes on his body were stained with blood, and the one behind was the mighty variegated family guards, and no one cared about them.

The team entered the city gate in a mighty way, and the prefect and the head of the Kang family never showed their heads, and went all the way to the prefect's yamen, only Zhang Xiahai and one hundred and ten soldiers stayed under the city gate.

"Brothers, I have worked hard, there are still some remnants of the remnants of the city who fled outside the city in today's battle, and the commander is worried that the remnants of the bandits will break into the city at night and cause chaos, so I am hereby ordered to wait for me to come and replace the shift, you can go down and rest." A hundred households stood up and ordered.

The small flag guarding the city, when he saw that the hundred households in front of him had indeed seen it before, plus Zhang Xiahai sat on the horse and did not speak, and he was afraid that there would really be thieves breaking into the city at night, so he didn't dare to say much, and he agreed again and again, and left quickly with people.

So the gate guards changed people in an instant.

Zhang Sanshi raised his head from the shadows, stepped forward and patted the shoulder of the hundred households: "Brother did a good job. ”

Then he turned around and ordered: "Everyone immediately guard the gates, and close the gates, and no one is allowed to enter or leave." ”

Zhang Xiahai watched the city gate change the other party's people, his face became even more cold and gloomy, but he didn't say much.

When he left the cottage, the scholar said very clearly, the lives of the seven or eight hundred brothers imprisoned on the mountain were in his hands, and if he cooperated well, the brothers could survive, and if he did not cooperate well, none of them would be left, and Pingyang Mansion would be burned and looted for three days.

The scholar said seriously, and the killing intent in his eyes made the battle-hardened Zhang Xiahai tremble, he knew that the scholar was not scaring him.

had no choice but to be coerced into Pingyang City.

Who would have thought that at this moment, the two thousand officers and soldiers in the city have been replaced by the other party's tanuki for the prince, and all of them have become mountain bandits.

Zhang Xiahai originally thought that once the other party entered the city, he would control Pingyang City by force, but the other party did not move, but just changed the guards at the city gate, changed the few guards in the city, and then did not move.

Under the cover of night, the entire Pingyang City has changed owners.

The first step of Tang Xidong's revolutionary madness was realized,

And Tang Xidong, who had entered the prefect's yamen at this moment, was sitting in the room, looking at the antiques, and the prefect's lord Cen Huayan was sitting on the chair tremblingly and fidgeting.

With the passage of time, the city gate was closed early, and the four city gates, including the city guards, were all replaced, and then the original guards were taken to the military station, and their weapons were forcibly unloaded and guarded.

The entire prefect's yamen was surrounded by two platoons of company members, and none of the family members and servants left, and all of them were locked in the house.

And the same is true of the Kang family, regardless of men, women and children, chickens, ducks, pigs and dogs, all of them are not allowed to leave the house.

When the lights of the city were about to turn on, the prefect's little servant was under the supervision of the company members, and the family came to the door to send greeting stickers.

In the city, regardless of the size of the official position, the level of the position, and the depth of fame, all the families received a message from the prefect: tonight a banquet will be held, and a good wine will be drunk together.

When the carriages arrived at the prefect's yamen, several small servants stood at the door to welcome them one by one, and the whole hall was arranged intensively.

"It seems that our prefect not only won the battle this time, but I am afraid that he has gained a lot!" Tongzhi and the promoter sat across each other, looking at the good friends who arrived one by one at the moment, a strange smile appeared on his face, and the promoter was also very happy.

Since they have eaten meat, they will naturally have a share.

Time passed, and the invitees finally arrived, but they still didn't see the prefect come out of the back hall, and many people couldn't help but show more or less impatience on their faces.

In the back hall, looking at the nearly 100 people in the hall through the screen, Tang Xidong's face showed a sneer, and these people are the masters of most of the entire Pingyang Mansion.

But, tonight is going to be slaughtered by yourself at will!

"The prefect has arrived." As soon as he sang, Cen Huayan walked out from behind the screen with heavy steps like an old man in the twilight, his face was wooden, and Tang Xidong smiled like spring, following closely.

Cen Huayan sat on a wooden chair, his eyes lowered, silent, like a stone statue.

Tang Xidong stood in the hall, looked at everyone in the audience, and smiled brighter and brighter.

"We warmly welcome you to participate in tonight's banquet in your busy schedule, and I believe that tonight's banquet will be wonderful and will be remembered for a lifetime." Tang Xidong smiled and spoke.

There was a low whisper, no one had seen the young man dressed as a scholar in front of him before, why did he look like the master of the prefect's yamen at this time?

"Prefect, who is this person?" Tongzhi frowned, unhappily asked, the scholar in front of him was too ignorant of etiquette, he didn't report his family, and he was still arrogant.

"You don't need to know Tang's identity or origin, you just need to know that at this moment, your family is in your hands." The smile on Tang Xidong's face narrowed a little, and then the gloomy words blurted out.

Everyone in the hall was confused for a while, and then they all looked at the prefect, and when they saw Cen Huayan, who was sitting there without saying a word from beginning to end, many people's hearts were cold, and some people got up and strode towards the outside of the hall, and then several people around them also hurriedly followed and walked out.

Seeing that these people were about to walk out of the door, they suddenly stopped one by one, and then retreated step by step towards the hall.

At the gate, fifty members of the company armed with knives and guns were eyeing each other, approaching step by step from the hall door, and then stayed in the hall and said no more.

And beside Tang Xidong, fifty team members who had been ambushed from the back hall also walked out at this time, guarding the left and right.

"Cen Huayan, what the hell is going on, what does it mean?" Tongzhi suddenly changed color, got up and pointed to Cen Huayan and asked by name, if he doesn't know that things are wrong at this moment, these people are not worthy of occupying most of Pingyang City.

"What do you mean, you don't need to ask the prefect, let me tell you, from today onwards, Pingyang City, what the prefect said doesn't count, my words are the decree and holy decree of Pingyang City. Prefect, right? Tang Xidong turned around with a smile, Cen Huayan's face was hidden with bitterness, and although the bitter smile was extremely reluctant, he still tried to smile and nod.

"Everyone, attacking my Luoliang Mountain, I'm afraid everyone here has contributed a lot, right? People live for a lifetime, dare to kill the wolf to guard against being bitten by the wolf, today everyone pays for people to besiege me Luoliang Mountain, do you want me to defeat the officers and soldiers in Luoliang Mountain, and occupy this Pingyang City? Yes? ”

Tang Xidong smiled on his face, but his eyes were cold.

As soon as these words came out, everyone immediately understood his origin, and their faces changed, with surprise, suspicion, panic, and confusion, and all kinds of emotions were intertwined.

"I invite you to come today, just to inform you that Pingyang City himself has taken over, if you obey me, everything is easy to discuss, if you are not convinced, it is easy to say, but I still weigh the lives and safety of my wife, concubines, children, fathers and mothers at home, I believe you can weigh it clearly." After Tang Xidong finished speaking, he no longer looked at those faces with intertwined expressions.

Turn around and walk into the back hall.

"Jia Hu, take care of all the adults and family owners, good wine and good food, if the adults are not satisfied, I will ask you, the long night is long, no intention of sleeping, you adults might as well drink the wine here, sing and laugh, okay?"

People talk and stay, tonight all changes start in this hall!

Revolution, be quiet!
