In the evening, the sun has already turned west, the clouds on the horizon are dyed blood red, and the gate in front of the heavily guarded Fengyang West City is open. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

In fact, when it comes to the open city gate, it is also a helpless move, according to the idea of Han Yu, who has just accepted the government affairs of Fengyang, at this time the Kou army is stationed dozens of miles away, Li Zicheng and Gao Yingxiang's Kou army is approaching, once the combined army does not know when to attack, it stands to reason that the city gate should be closed to prevent a sneak attack, but within two days, Zhang Tanghuai's military camp was surrounded by a group of people who took the initiative to open the city gate.

Most of these people are hunters who hunt for a living, some teenagers who go to the forest not far away to cut firewood to support their families, and the people who plough the fields nearby, and the closure of the door will only make them starve to death, although the porridge shed is still supplied every day under the supervision of Han Yu himself, but most of the rescuers are old and weak women and children, and these strong young people are not in the relief ranks.

In desperation, Han Yu could only order the city gate to be opened.

However, the first time to order the captain Wang Wei to post a notice, if you want to go out, you have to record it in detail, and you have to count it early and late, those hunters are ordered to be responsible for patrolling, supervising the movements of the Kou army when hunting, and of course, there is also a silver salary, and the hunters are naturally grateful to Dade, who doesn't like the silver two of the white flowers, Han Yu also sent soldiers from Zhang Tanghuai in the name of protecting the people, and went to investigate the people who were cultivating nearby, whether it was a collaboration with the enemy, and there was no problem with the orderly.

On this day, more than a dozen people were lining up to be interrogated in detail by the officials, and then everything was recorded in detail.

Most of these people in the queue were carrying long bows and short knives hanging from their waists, almost all of them were burly, and most of them seemed to be hunters.

Although it is very dangerous to enter the forest at night, if you are lucky enough to hunt some fierce beasts, you can exchange their fur for a lot of silver taels, so there are not a few people who take risks.

At the end of the line, a man leading a horse and wearing a hat carried a package on his back, looking from side to side with anxiety, as if he was on his back.

This person's name is Gao Chu, an ordinary jailer in a prison, his appearance is not good, he eats and waits for death, just an inconspicuous small character.

Two days ago, Gao Chu, who had gone home with all the silver taels in the kiln, was beaten unconscious and kidnapped by several masked men who suddenly appeared, but these people did not kill him for money as Gao Chu guessed, but gave him a lot of silver taels and gave him a bottle of poison, so that he could find a way to pour it into the prisoner's mouth to kill people.

If you don't agree, you will die, how dare Gao Chu refuse, not to mention that for the sake of these white silver taels, it is worth taking risks, anyway, there are many prisoners who die unjustly in prison every day, and no one should track them down at that time, but Gao Chu thought it was too simple, and the prisoners he captured were actually Bai Zong, who was in charge of guarding the granary.

And there were a total of eight jailers, but he was chosen to carry out the torture and whipping, Gao Chu was desperate, so he could only go hard, and it was very strange that during the interrogation, the jailer suddenly went out, creating excellent conditions for Gao Chu to poison, the plan was very smooth, after Gao Chu was poisoned, he was beaten with a whip, and he didn't hit the hundred generals twice, Gao Chu just carefully wiped off the black blood stains on the side of the corpse's mouth, and Zhen Xing, who was full of panic, came in a hurry accompanied by the jailer, and left quickly without looking back at the corpse.

The death of a person in prison is not a big deal, the matter has finally come to an end, but although Gao Chu is a small character, he is not stupid, the whole thing is too smooth, smooth to a little weird, whether it is the selection of him to carry out the sentence, or the strange performance of the prison officials, as well as those masked men who gave him silver taels at the beginning, how to look at this matter is strange, although Gao Chu can't guess who manipulated all this, but from the appearance of the Qianzong, the matter of this Baizong is not simple, and he is very likely to be killed.

Sure enough, at noon, several big men came to Gao Chu's house, while banging on the door vigorously, while honestly saying that they were coming to send the other half of the silver taels, seeing that Gao Chu did not answer for a long time, several big men with knives broke into the door savagely, but there was not even a ghost in the house, Gao Chu, who had been prepared, set fire to the house, burned several big men alive, and then quickly ran towards the city gate with the silver taels on his back.

It's just that I never expected that the recording system set up by Han Yu made Gao Chu's plan to get out of the city immediately impossible, originally Gao Chu planned to spend a lot of money to hire a convoy out of the city to hide himself in it, although the Kou army that often killed and plundered was stationed dozens of miles away, but there were still some caravans that took risks, but Gao Chu soon found that the battalion guarding the city gate was extremely strict with the convoy, and those who were in charge of escorting the car did not cooperate slightly, and were immediately captured by the surrounding soldiers on the spot.

Gao Chu under the irritability thought of a trick, and suddenly took out a handful of silver taels and sprinkled them on the interrogating officials, with a miserable scream of the officials, and really staged a good show of smashing people with money, the silver taels of white flowers suddenly made the surrounding soldiers and hunters rush up, everyone was crazy to snatch the silver taels scattered on the ground, the scene was a little chaotic for a while, Gao Chu saw the opportunity, suddenly turned over and got on his horse, and quickly rushed towards the city gate, waiting for the soldiers guarding the city gate to react, Gao Chu had rushed out of the city gate.

Gao Chu's face was full of excitement, it seemed that he had been freed, as long as he left Fengyang City, the world would have its own place to live.

It's just that Gao Chu's dream was broken in an instant, and suddenly a sharp arrow roared, and Gao Chu, who was riding on the horse, snorted, and immediately turned over and fell to the ground with the arrow, wailing.

Captain Wang Wei threw the longbow to the soldiers beside him, stepped forward and lifted Gao Chu up, and quickly turned back.

Outside the dim cell that exuded a damp and foul smell, Han Yu, who was sitting on a chair, looked indifferent, and terrible screams came from inside the cell from time to time.

After half the salary, Wang Wei, who pushed the door out, hugged his fists and saluted Han Yu and said, "Master Han, this kid is a soft egg, and he has already done all the tricks." As he spoke, he respectfully handed over the transcript of the record.

Han Yu took a closer look at the half-salary in the faint light, and handed it back to Wang Wei casually: "None of them are left, including all the dependents!" ”

Han Yu's order was quickly implemented, and Zhen Xing, the general manager of Qian, was also very cooperative in dispatching officers and soldiers, and soon all the soldiers, prison officials, middlemen and their dependents about the case were captured, and some who tried to resist were shot into hedgehogs by crossbows on the spot.

With the battalion soldiers arresting in this way, it is obvious that the matter has been exposed, and the landlords who participated in this matter Haoqiang couldn't sit still, and they joined forces one after another, intending to put pressure on Zhang Tanghuai, the general manager, but when they learned that Zhang Tanghuai was recuperating in bed, they couldn't figure out who gave the order to the battalion soldiers for a while, so they could only take the most helpless way to let the private soldiers and family members armed in the house block the door and confront the officers and soldiers.

Among them, the most crazy landlords were so strong that they even led their troops to defeat a small group of soldiers who came to arrest people, and more than 10 people died in the battle.

Han Yu, who learned of this, took the case, but although he was angry, he did not lose his mind.

Wang Wei, who was standing on the side, was secretly stunned, and every time Han Yu sneered and muttered secretly, it meant that some people should be unlucky.

These landlords are either rich or expensive, and they have been operating in Fengyang for many years, and it is not easy to easily bring them down, but if this matter is left alone, it will not only make the morale of the battalion soldiers plummet, but also make these landlords and heroes even worse, thinking that the battalion soldiers are afraid of them, and when the time comes, not only will the lack of food be unsolvable, but also Fengyang will be uncontrollable.

Shoot people first and shoot horses first, capture thieves and capture kings first, Han Yu decided to take the landlord Haoqiang who participated in raising the price of grain and took the lead in making trouble.
