As soon as Qin Cheng led people out of the inner courtyard, he saw more than a dozen pacesetters fleeing to this side in a panic, and there were also shouts and guns from the lobby of the former government governor's office.

There were hundreds of Taiping troops surrounding the governor's yamen, they didn't want to die on the onslaught, and there were firearms, the people who supervised the standard were already panicked, and Qin Cheng, the thousand president, ran away again, they couldn't resist it and could only retreat to the second gate, but when they closed the door, they were a step slower, and the Taiping army followed and rushed into the main ya.

The Taiping army who rushed to the front yaya shouted at this time that they wanted to capture the governor Li Shutai alive, obviously not knowing that the target they wanted to capture alive was not in the governor's yamen.

Leading the attack on the governor's yamen was Guan Tianshui, the deputy battalion officer of the pro-military battalion, who was born in the Jiangxi Green Battalion, but before becoming a green battalion, he was a bandit in his hometown. After leading the team to break through the governor's yamen, Guan Tianshui was very excited, and led his subordinates to search everywhere in the front office, but only found some governor's staff and officials hiding in various public houses, and there was no whereabouts of Li Shutai.

"Come on, where is Li Shutai!"

The little official who was put on his neck with a knife by Guan Tianshui was already so frightened that he couldn't say a word of, Guan Tianshui saw this, and he didn't bother to talk nonsense with him, so he slashed the little official with a knife.

"You say, where is Li Shutai!"

Guan Tianshui pointed at the long knife, and the two soldiers immediately rushed forward and pulled out a governor's staff, who was also so frightened that he couldn't speak, Guan Tianshui frowned, and the two soldiers immediately pressed the shoulders of the staff. One of his hands fell with a knife and cut off his head on the spot, blood spurting wildly. The pigtailed head rolled on the floor of the lobby for a while, and it turned red in an instant.

All the staff and officials of the governor's yamen were frightened by this bloody scene, their faces were like earth, they all trembled, and one of them even rolled his eyes and fainted directly.

"The governor went to the Pingnan Palace, not in the yamen, the general spared his life!" The third staff member who was pointed out by Guan Tianshui didn't wait for him to ask. fell to the ground with a thud, and lifted Li Shuitai's whereabouts like beans from the bamboo tube.

"He. . . Damn, it's been a long time. Li Shutai, this dog traitor, is not here! ”

Guan Tianshui was stunned, this situation was a big surprise to him, and it also made him a little tricky, after all, the task he received was to catch Li Shutai. If you can't catch it alive. You have to see the corpse, and you can't let people run. Now he is in the air, and he can't see anyone alive or dead, so how can he deal with him?

When he was in a hurry, a small official said flatteringly: "This general, the governor is not in the mansion, but the governor's wife is." As soon as he said this. Immediately made the others despised, and secretly scolded this person for being despicable and shameless.

"Madame Governor?"

Guan Tianshui was stunned. I immediately thought that when the blind man Li was drinking with him, he had said that he would dedicate Li Shutai's mother-in-law, the lady who loved Xinjueluo's family, to the handsome and happy, and just now he was only thinking about capturing Li Shutai alive, but he forgot about his mother-in-law.

Hey, the male one ran away, and the female one can be caught too! Anyway, the order given to me by the marshal is to occupy the governor's yamen, and there are people on the side of the Pingnan palace to solve it. I will control the Governor's Mansion here, and then capture Li Shutai and his mother-in-law and present it to the marshal, and the marshal will definitely not blame me.

Guan Tianshui laughed, and pointed at the little official with a knife: "Take us quickly, you are indispensable!" ”

The little officials hurriedly nodded in agreement, Guan Tianshui glanced at the rest of the staff, and suddenly the corners of his mouth grinned, and said to them: "If you want to live, stay here honestly, our Taiping Army can still use you, and it won't harm your lives." But if anyone dares to escape, don't say that Lao Tzu's knife is not long-eyed! ”

Which of the staff officials dared to say a word, nodded their heads one by one, and almost swore that they would not run away. They also knew in their hearts that the Taiping army was the soldiers and horses of the Ming Dynasty, and it was impossible to slaughter Guangzhou City after occupying it like Shang Kexi last time, so they must need those who are familiar with the affairs of the city to come out to deal with the aftermath and calm people's hearts and clean up the mess. Therefore, as long as their own brains are not hot, this life cannot be lost.

Seeing that these guys were indeed honest, Guan Tianshui laughed, leaving some people to watch them, and the rest of the people went to the back office with him, and if he couldn't catch the male, he would capture the mother, but he had to move quickly, if he let the female tartar hang and swallow the gold nuggets, it would be very unbeautiful.

Guan Tianshui led the people to rush to the back office, and was met with a group of pacesetters led by Qin Cheng desperately resisted, and after a burst of slashing, Qin Cheng's body was on the spot. After Qin Cheng's death, those pacesetters and the servants of the Li family dispersed in a hurry, and no one dared to stop the Taiping army. The huge governor's palace fell into the hands of the Taiping army like a stripped girl

Hong Shiming, who was hiding in the study, begged the gods and Buddhas of the heavens, but none of them worked, the Bodhisattva failed to bless him, and the people who supervised the standard failed to block the Taiping army, they had already entered the governor's yamen!

The shouting and killing sound outside was getting closer and closer, Hong Shiming peeked out from the crack in the window, Taiping Kou was running here with a knife, and he was so frightened that he pulled Uncle Chen, an old servant who came to Guangdong with him, and his voice stammered: "Uncle Chen, what should I do, what should I do, my father is Hong Chengchou, I can't fall into the hands of the Ming army, they will kill me alive." At this time, his father's identity really wanted his son's life.

"Eldest prince, while the Ming army hasn't discovered us yet, let's go quickly."

Uncle Chen was also scared in his heart, but the safety of the eldest prince could not be lost, and he had to bring the eldest prince back to the master no matter what.

"Let's go? Where to? ”

Hong Shiming's face is purple, he is Hong Chengchou's son, can he not be afraid of the Ming army!

"Go to Pingnan Wangfu, it's really not okay to just find a place to hide first, Guangzhou City is so big, where does the Ming army know where we are hiding. As soon as the rumors pass, let's go out of the city and escape. Uncle Chen tried his best to calm himself down, so as not to panic the eldest prince even more.

"Okay, that's it!"

Hong Shiming had no idea, and listened to Uncle Chen, "Uncle Chen, let's go, hurry, hurry!"

Uncle Chen didn't delay, looked out, and found that the Taiping army that came in was chasing some subordinates, so he hurriedly pulled the eldest prince to the inner courtyard, wanting to escape through the side door of the inner courtyard. He has changed a set of clothes for Hong Shiming, the Taiping Army doesn't know their identities, as long as they are careful, they can always run out.

The inner courtyard was already in chaos, and the people under the maids poured into the inner courtyard like rabbits, and Guan Tianshui led his soldiers to follow behind their butts, but they didn't kill much.

Hong Shiming and Uncle Chen ran to the inner courtyard in fear, but saw an old woman sitting on a stool watching them.

"Isn't that the son of the Five Provinces Jingluo Hong Chengchou's family?!" As if she had seen a savior, the old lady stood up excitedly and shouted at Hong Shiming.

This shout can call out half of Hong Shiming's soul. (To be continued.) )
