Salt transport envoy yamen

The soldiers of the patrol battalion on the wall of the circle were eliminated one by one by the sharpshooters on the big tree in the distance ambushed by the salt owls, and the remaining soldiers lost their guns and fled. The bandits set up ladders and began to climb up the wall. A dozen more minions are banging on the gate with huge logs. The logs were apparently made improvisely, with unpeeled green skins and unshaved branches.

"Boom, boom, boom"

With a rhythmic impact, the vermilion lacquer gate of the Yamen gradually began to shake. Seeing that there were no more guns on the wall, a few minions took out daggers and scraped the gold plated on the copper nails.

Xu Baoshan sat on a chair and drank tea leisurely, humming a little song in his mouth. When he saw the minions scraping gold on the copper nails, he couldn't help laughing and scolding: "I haven't seen anything in the world, the gold and silver in this yamen are piled up into a mountain, and such a little gold foam is worth the effort?" ”

"Boom!"

With a loud bang, the heavy latch of the gate was smashed, and the sandbags blocking the portal were also knocked down. The minions scrambled through the crack in the door, climbed over the sandbags with difficulty, and rushed madly into the yamen.

"Tiger Lord... No, Lord Governor, please! The master pointed in the direction of the yamen with his hand.

A few little minions brought over a sliding rod: "Please invite the Governor to join the council of the government office!" ”

Xu Baoshan touched his head and laughed: "You children do this, I'm really not used to it!" ”

More than 30 minions opened the way in front, and the four people lifted Xu Baoshan and slowly walked towards the gate, and the salt lords shot into the sky to celebrate, and for a while the smoke of gunpowder was filled.

"Governor? You sniff, what does it smell like? ”

Xu Baoshan also felt that there was a strong strange smell in the air, and he sniffled and suddenly changed his face and said, "Fire oil? ”

Rise!

Almost instantly, the salt transport caused the yamen to burst into flames, the cold wind fueled the fire, hundreds of barrels of foreign oil poured on the brick and wood houses, and a little spark passed into the sky.

Sun Tiansheng, whose face was already blackened by thick smoke, ran as he ran, putting down the tin barrels full of foreign oil one by one and lighting them with torches.

"Burn it, burn it all! Everything here is mine, no one wants to rob it! Sun Tiansheng's eyes were split, and he roared wildly in the firelight.

The flames quickly joined together, gradually enveloping Sun Tiansheng's shadow in it, and the huge salt transportation made the yamen suddenly become a sea of fire.

The minions who jumped over the wall and jumped into the yamen turned around and ran, but they were blocked by sandbags, and everyone wanted to escape but no one could move, so they could only watch the fire spread and swallow them, and the screams made the hard-hearted people not moved.

Xu Baoshan looked at it from a distance, and was also a little dumbfounded, he didn't expect that the bones of the turtle slave in this courtyard were so hard, not only did he not surrender, but he burned down the yamen!

"Lord Tiger, what should I do?" The master was dumbfounded.

Xu Baoshan sneered: "Let it burn, the yamen can be burned clean, this silver is still silver after it is burned... Haha, it's not bad, I Xu Baoshan set off such a big fireworks on the first day of my reign as the governor, it's good luck! ”

In a private house outside the north gate, a woman dressed like a village woman wearing a homespun cotton jacket and a black fishing net hood in a sheep-like bun looked at the sky-high fire in the distance through the window.

"Madame, you better go into the cellar! These salt dogs don't know if they'll break in! A good-looking old soldier threw his coat into the fire and burned it, and found a torn cotton jacket full of patches and put it on.

"Yes, ma'am, these salt lords are all murderous beasts, you better hide!" A man who looked like a master in Shaoxing persuaded with a bitter face while cutting off the beard of the mouse with his surname.

Although this woman has a pot of ashes on her face, the charm that is sharpened in the wind and dust is still difficult to hide. This person is none other than Yanxi Yanxi, the red man of Yanyu Building. In the past few days, she has been living in a dream, taking advantage of the night and the turtle slave Sun Tiansheng to secretly escape from the Yanyu Building, and then take a small boat and run to Yangzhou. Immediately afterwards, Sun Tiansheng led dozens of rebellious patrol battalion soldiers to seize the prefect's yamen and the salt envoy's yamen. Overnight, the unknown turtle slave Sun Tiansheng became the governor of the Yangzhou Military and Political Branch, and Yan Xi naturally became the governor's wife.

But from that day on, everything became out of control, Sun Tiansheng was almost like a madman, riding a tall horse during the day, wrapped in white silk to swagger through the market, and at night working all night on Yan Xi's body, it seemed that every day was the last carnival. Although Yan Xi is a woman, she has some insight when she grew up in the Qinglou. In addition to tactfully acknowledging the joy, she also once persuaded Sun Tiansheng that she should appease the people, post a few notices to reassure the people, and give some rewards to the soldiers of the patrol battalion and the new army... All of this almost wore out her mouth.

But Sun was born to go his own way, still going crazy on the street during the day and being ruthless in bed at night!

It wasn't until he heard that the people of the Yangzhou Chamber of Commerce secretly colluded with Xu Baoshan, the leader of the big salt lord, that Sun Tiansheng panicked and discussed countermeasures with his master in desperation. Yan Xi, who was listening to the audience, had an idea, remembering that he had a dewy marriage with He Tianshou for a few days, so he sent a telegram to Lao He, who was training in Anqing, in the name of the Yangzhou Military and Political Branch. Lao He received a joint telegram signed by Sun Tiansheng, the governor of Yangzhou, and his wife Yanxi, and first sent it for a while, and then felt that the matter was very important, so he immediately forwarded it to Wuhu and gave it to Chai Dongliang. It's just that the name of the governor's wife, Yan Xi, was removed from the message.

Half a day after the telegram was sent, he received a reply from the Anhui Military Advisory Office, and Chai Dongliang, the governor of Anhui, personally led the sailors to help Sun Tiansheng in the war! Sun Tiansheng was simple-minded, and he was very happy when he received the telegram, anyway, the salt transportation envoy Yamen had silver, and it was a big deal to give the Yangtze River Sailor a sum of silver as the cost of the labor army! Although Yan Xi and Master are worried that Chai Dongliang will not leave when he occupies the magpie's nest, the current surname of the great enemy is important, and he can't take care of it much!

Yan Xi privately hopes that the Anhui New Army will occupy Yangzhou, so that Sun Tiansheng will have the mind of being the governor, and live with her well!

But I didn't expect Xu Baoshan's people to come so quickly, and the patrol battalion and the new army in Yangzhou had already scattered after Sun Tiansheng captured the Yamen.

At the threshold where the yamen was about to be broken, Sun Tiansheng, who had been crazy for a long time, suddenly regained his senses and forced two personal soldiers with a pistol to send Yan Xi and his master out of the north gate where there were no bandits.

And he poured fire oil on all the houses, and no matter how much Yan Xi begged, he was unwilling to leave the Yamen of the salt transport envoy. Yan Xi was beaten unconscious before being carried on the shoulders by the soldiers and escaping from the north gate by climbing the ladder!

"Giving birth to a child, you know? I already have your flesh and blood in the Smoke and Rain Building! I will raise him well, I will tell him that his father is the governor of Yangzhou, and he sacrificed his life to save our mother, he is an amazing hero! Yan Xi muttered to herself.

All the bad memories of Sun Tiansheng were erased by Yan Xi's choice of surname, and all she had in her mind was the man with the blood surname who knocked her unconscious, and then forced the soldiers and the master to send her out of the wall!

The image of the governor of Yangzhou, who was wrapped in white silk and rode a tall horse, was full of spirit, which had been deeply engraved in Yan Xi's mind!

"This Yangtze River sailor doesn't know if he can come, if they don't come, this Yangzhou city doesn't know what it will be like to be ruined by salt dogs!" The master said worriedly.

"Bang bang", there was a burst of gunfire outside.

The master was shocked and said, "Oh no, the salt dog is here!" ”

"Madam, hurry up and hide, these salt dogs are terrible to see women!" The old soldier said in horror.

"Hide? Where to hide? Yan Xi pointed to the small room and laughed miserably.

"What then?" The master panicked, and his legs kept trembling.

Yan Xi picked up a pair of scissors and cut them on his face suddenly, and there was suddenly a deep wound on his cheek, Yan Xi laughed maniacally: "So no one dares to touch me, right?" From today onwards, there will be no man who can touch my body! ”

There was a terrifying wound on the originally charming face, and the blood mixed with the ashes of the pot flowed down the cheeks, and a face was as hideous as a ghost!

The old army and the master looked at Yan Xi dumbfounded, this woman in the dust, the heroic spirit between her eyebrows, was as beautiful as the sunset!
