Chapter 388: Imperial City Riot
"Bold! Dare to go to the Mansion of Lord Xifeng to make trouble, do you want to die? Who are you under the command of, don't you know Chang Gonggong? He's our lordship...... Yes! Before the family member in the fine seal mansion finished speaking, Hu Bingcheng grabbed the collar and lifted it up.
"Go back and tell your family that there is a murderer of his son standing outside the door, and if he has the guts, he will come out and take revenge himself! If we don't have the guts, we will break in, his son has injured our son-in-law, and I have to settle accounts with him! Hu Bingcheng pointed to the back and said.
The family looked back, and sure enough, there was a big coffin with three big characters written on it, and there was a sick man sitting in the sedan chair next to him.
Seeing that the situation was not right, the family hurriedly promised Hu Bingcheng to go in and report, and as soon as Hu Bingcheng put it down, he ran in. At this time, the fine seal had just retired from the dynasty and drank at a friend's house and did not come back, the housekeeper was shocked when he learned the news of the family report, and saw the scene outside through the crack in the door and knew that the situation was serious and needed to be dealt with by the master of the fine seal in person. So when Hu Bingcheng's army had not yet surrounded the house, he hurriedly escaped from the back door to inform Xi Fengren and Chang Gonggong.
Hu Bingcheng was very angry when he saw that the family did not come out again after going in to report, and happened to meet the people who were all onlookers next to him, so he preached that the son of the fine Fengren, Xi Feng Chengjie, relied on his father to start acting nonsense in the middle of the court, a typical hypocrite. Now the sons of the border generals have been made into the half-dead appearance they are now. But Hu Bingcheng didn't mention that the body lying in the coffin was the body of Chengjie who was finely sealed.
The people already have a herd mentality, and if a person says bad things about Xi Fengren, more and more people will say bad things about him, and they will tell you one by one that Xi Fengren occupies people's houses to build private houses, embezzles a large amount of taxes and silver, abducts women from good families, and other crimes, whether he did it or not, they all push it on him.
Hu Bingcheng saw that with the support of the people, it would be much easier to do, so he yelled, "Okay, everyone stop arguing and listen to me, now this fine Fengren is hiding at home and enjoying himself and doesn't dare to come out to give us an explanation, so we will break in and ask him for an explanation." ”
When the common people heard Hu Bingcheng say that they were going to rush in to find the theory of Xi Fengren, they were so frightened that they didn't dare to speak out. Hu Bingcheng encouraged: "Don't be afraid, you just need to hide behind us, there are 10,000 of our soldiers in front to help you block, no one can understand you a cent." ”
Seeing that the people were still a little cowering, Hu Bingcheng gave an order and led the soldiers to take the lead and directly smashed open the gate of the fine sealed mansion, breaking through the gate directly as if it had leaked a flood. The people behind saw that the soldiers had gone in, and they had nothing to fear, and they also rushed in. For a while, the entire fine seal mansion was crowded with people.
However, even though the house seemed a little crowded, everyone was still shocked by the scene in front of them. The decoration and carving of dragons and phoenixes on this fine Fengren Mansion are no less than the decoration of the imperial palace. All kinds of gold, silver and jewelry can be found everywhere, and these common people and soldiers seem to have forgotten the purpose of this place after entering this place, and they all began to put gold and silver jewelry in their pockets.
The maids on the fine Fengren mansion saw that someone broke into the mansion and couldn't stop it at all, and thought that the fine Fengren was punished by the imperial court and came to raid the house, so they were so frightened that they also joined the team of snatching the property and covering the house, and the scene was very chaotic for a while.
Hu Bingcheng ordered people to wait and rob the property to find Xi Fengren, but after searching all the rooms, he didn't find Xi Fengren. Later, I saw that the family who was mentioned by Hu Bingcheng at the door just now was also cleaning up there. Hu Bingcheng lifted him up again, "Where did Xi Fengren go?" Tell me honestly, if you can't tell me why, believe it or not, I'll kill you! ”
"The general spares his life! I'm just a small family member in the Lord's Mansion and I don't know anything. But I remember that just when the butler knew that the general was blocking the door with the army, he took the opportunity to slip out of the back door, as if to say that the lord had gone to a friend's house for a drink, and that he should have informed the lord to come back. ”
"Did you tell me which friend's house you went to?"
"This villain really doesn't know, please let me go, I know it......"
Blood gushed out from the neck of the housekeeper, and Hu Bingcheng held the master's bloodstained long sword in one hand and pushed the housekeeper to the ground with the other. "It would have been fine if I said no earlier, but now it's too late to say it."
As soon as the maids saw that there were dead people in the mansion, the originally chaotic fine seal mansion became even more riotous, and they all grabbed their things and fled around, for fear of losing their lives.
"Everyone is stationed here, no one is allowed to leave me, I want to see if this fine Fengren dares to come back today. No one is allowed to let me out! Hu Bingcheng gave an order, all the exits in the fine seal mansion were closed, and the people inside were trapped in it and could not go out.
At this time, there was a luxurious sedan chair parked in a corner directly opposite the Xifeng Mansion, and an old man pulled up the curtain next to him and saw that the door was trampled on, and the Xifeng Mansion was full of soldiers, so angry that the whole person began to tremble.
"My lord, it wasn't like this when I first went out, they were just waiting outside, how did they all rush in in the blink of an eye, now what are we going to do!" Looking at the Xifeng Mansion, which was more "lively" than before, the old housekeeper asked the Xifengren who had just been called back beside him.
"These guys are simply too deceitful, I heard that just now at the north gate of the north city there was an old subordinate of the eunuch Chang who came in with 10,000 elite soldiers and more than 10,000 Mongolian soldiers captive, presumably those soldiers are them. This eunuch is polite to me on the surface, but behind the scenes, he does this kind of thing, which is simply too deceitful! Xi Fengren said angrily.
"What do you do now, my lord?"
"Going in now is almost equivalent to throwing yourself into a net, you and I should go to Eunuch Chang's place, and I will reason with him face to face."
"Then what should we do if our house is so ruined by them?"
"The loss he caused to me today as a regular eunuch, I want him to spit it all out for me in the future!" After speaking, Xi Fengren put down the curtain, turned around and headed towards the west gate of the imperial city.
At this time, the imperial city can be described as a riot, first a large number of troops outside the northwest gate approached, and then all the soldiers at the north gate rushed in and rushed towards the Xifeng Mansion and the imperial palace. Now that Chang Gonggong is facing the West Gate, the loyal soldiers below are also clamoring that they may break through the city gate at any time.
