Chapter 728: The City of Weeping (5)

The silk village that had a good relationship with Hao Qingqing had become devastated, and the kind shopkeeper participated in the banquet in the VIP hall and failed to escape. The lovely daughter of the female shopkeeper was only half of her body left, and the female shopkeeper herself hanged herself naked in the room. None of the maid workers in the family were spared.

Hao Qingqing is in Qinglong Mountain, I don't know how many of this kind of things have been seen, even if it is her own subordinates, it is inevitable that they will do similar behaviors. But at this time, she still gritted her teeth with hatred, and casually pulled out the ghost head knife and slashed it, "The bandits caught on this street, not a single one is left, all of them will be cut down by me!" ”

"Obey!" Huo Qiu, who was hiding in the distance, hurriedly nodded and ran down to give the order. Iron Coral was holding a gun, and his body was a little weak, "Fortunately, my mother is not here, if my mother sees it, she ...... She's going to be sad. ”

"In her belly, there are still children!" Zhao Miniang only said this, and kicked the earthen wall next to her with one leg, soaked by the rain, and the earthen wall, which was not very strong, collapsed under this heavy leg.

"I'm glad that my hunch worked, and no one rushed into our house." Yang Chengzu said with a cold face, although with the force of his own family, it is unlikely that he will be harmed so badly, but even if a few women are victimized, he will not be at ease.

What's more important is that these people are deliberately trying to slap their faces. The reason why this female shopkeeper died so miserably was probably because she was too close to her own family. This is a warning to the businessmen not to associate with Yang Ji and not to go near the Yang family. It is conceivable that the Xue family, for example, must have been "taken care of" by the thieves.

Fortunately, he made some arrangements in advance, arranged some of the new troops to be on guard near the Xue family and Yang Ji's shop, and did not let the troupe go out, and the losses suffered were relatively small, but it was still inevitable to be killed and injured.

Most of the bodyguards hired by the businessmen are from the dart board, and the businessmen do not have much to investigate their identities and the like. After all, it is enough to be strong, to be able to fight, and to work. Some businessmen are more mean to bodyguards, in addition to being guards, they also have to make a cameo appearance, peaceful and prosperous, only cut people, where can they get so much money?

When the Black Sharks began to raid the city, some of the bodyguards also began to turn against the water and cooperate with the raiders. Whether it was an undercover agent arranged in advance, or because he was dissatisfied with the main family on weekdays, there was no way to verify it. In short, these people took the initiative to come out and cooperate with foreign enemies, and the merchants were caught off guard, and some of the masters attended the banquet in the VIP hall, and there was no master at home, and there was no backbone, even if the martial arts were stronger, they were also fighting on their own, and the thieves easily broke through the house, and the losses were seriously abnormal.

The government forces in the city did mobilize, but then they were paralyzed, and the robbers who launched the attack this time had enough force to occupy the whole of Ningbo. But just when they thought they could be invincible, Yang Ji's armed workers appeared.

The Xie family knew something about the existence of these workers, but they only regarded them as nursing homes or laborers, in fact, before they really went to the battlefield, few people would treat them as a powerful force. After they went to the streets, they took 100 people into a group to carry out a dragnet search and killing of the bandits who burned and looted in Ningbo.

These people are not officials, they don't even need confessions, they don't have to be judged, and if they think they are thieves, they will be rewarded. Even if they surrender, there is no guarantee of survival. The thieves organized a counterattack and then collapsed, just as they had swept the officers and troops before, and these thieves found that their combat effectiveness was too far from that of these workers, and considering the situation of reinforcements from Shaoxing and other places, they began to retreat.

Now that most of the fighting in the city has subsided, those who came in to loot at the beginning have actually retreated. What is left now are the unlucky people who didn't grab anything at the beginning, and they are unwilling to give up the fat in their mouths, and they still want to get rich. Not only are these people not so numerous, but they also do not have a unified command, they fight separately, and their strength is not high.

Under the slashing of the new army, the gang quickly collapsed and fled helplessly in the city. Yang Chengzu gave an order: "Kill them all!" After that, he went straight to the Yamen of Ningbo Mansion, and the problem of fighting was temporarily solved.

Those robbers and widows, who don't know where they are retreating, always have to chase and kill, but the battle is very chaotic at the moment. The first battle of Yang Ji's new army, depending on the situation, should have won, but due to the sluggish intelligence, the casualties have not been calculated, let alone other information. I don't know where the Japanese fled to, so I can't talk about chasing and killing, so I have to take care of the city first.

In the yamen of the Ningbo prefect, Hu Bingzhang, the prefect who escaped death, and several remaining officials in the mansion looked at each other blankly, not knowing what to say or what to do. The yamen was actually attacked by bandits, the treasury was looted, and the two ladies were arrested and their whereabouts are unknown. However, the bandits did not stay in the yamen for too long, otherwise after these people escaped from the VIP hall, they would probably have thrown themselves into the net and were caught by the gangsters.

Liu Jin and several other military attaches have already gone to rectify the team, hoping to restore order, kill the thieves, and at least reduce their guilt. But even if Hu Bingzhang wanted to do this, no one was available. When Yang Chengzu came in, he and Fang Wenmian, the magistrate of Yin County, held Yang Chengzu's hand on the left and right

"General...... Ti Shuai...... Save my life, Lord. ”

"Benefactor, Xia Guan has been an official all these years, although the eunuch bag is meager, but he also has eight thousand taels of savings, and he is willing to honor his benefactor in full."

"The villain has a woman's calyx, fourteen this year, and has a dignified appearance. If the benefactor does not give up, the lower official is willing to give the little girl to the benefactor as a concubine......"

"Fang Wenmian, you bastard, do you want to let your daughter be a concubine? Do you still know that there is a word for shame in the world? ”

"Hu Bingzhang, my daughter, I can marry whoever I want her to marry, you don't care! You say that your savings are only 8,000 taels, so leave this kind of talk to the deceitful ghosts. You can also take out 350,000 silver, and you will still be greedy for money at this time, do you keep the silver into the coffin! ”

Yang Chengzu shook his head secretly, it seems that not all civil officials are hard bones. Ningbo suffered this military disaster this time, Ryan died again, this pot can't really be buckled on the head of the dead, so Hu and Fang must be responsible. With so many people dead and such a big loss, these two people are at least an extraction. No matter how hard the waist of civil officials is, or what kind of way they have, this kind of crime is not easy to turn over.

Besides, Ningbo was washed away, and the envoy group of one side was slaughtered by the other side. For such a serious matter, the imperial court was disgraced. Investigate it, maybe you will have to use a few heads to calm the anger of the Son of Heaven, and maybe one of these two is unlucky and will be borrowed.

Before the moment of life and death, the character or reputation is not as urgent as the requirement to live. It doesn't matter if it's a woman or something. As for whether it looks good or not, then let him go.

Yang Chengzu looked at Fang Wenmian, "Fang Xianzun, what you said is true, are you really willing to offer Ling Ai?" ”

Fang Wenmian nodded happily, "Yes, the lower officials are willing, I'll go and prepare Geng Tie." Don't worry, the little girl is not in the city, and those thieves won't harm her. Just a few days ago, the villain's family went to Yuyao to visit relatives......"

"Nonsense, are you visiting relatives, you are obviously afraid that your daughter will be remembered by General Yang, so you went to avoid trouble. Didn't you say it all, your daughter can't marry a courtier and be a child, only hide first! ”

Yang Chengzu motioned for the two of them to stop, and then said: "Second Gong, what we have to do now is always to do things well." In the whole city of Ningbo, there are still two more people, and there is also a need for yamen! I hope that from now on, everyone will not fight back and forth, and restore order in Ningbo first, and I will protect the future of the two of you. ”
