138. Accidents cause chaos

Zeng's old inn is an old inn in Xuzhou for some time, three generations of Zeng's ancestors and grandchildren, all operate this inn, the businessmen who come from the south to the north travel, and those who miss the old like to stay here.

After three generations of hard work, the scale of the Zeng family old inn is quite large, there are three before and after, and the left and right wings are full, adding up to more than 30 rooms.

Er Cao Cao himself lives in the upper room, which is relatively quiet, and there is a garden, but his subordinates are all crowded with shops. Because all the shops in this courtyard were covered by them, there were no outsiders, and they were shouting and gambling every night, and they stayed up all night.

Ji Chun chattered about the grass stems in his mouth, and listened to it outside the wall for a long time, although it was a little far away, but in the dead of night, he could still hear some sounds.

"Mu Tou is right, they are all bad people, just for a while, I have already heard about the case of three lives." He spat out the grass stalks, his expression a little serious.

Unlike Mu Qi, who only thinks about meritorious service and rewards, Ji Chun is still young now, only twenty-three or fourteen years old, although he is also ignorant of money, but occasionally he will think about revenge for others to show justice.

"How can Mu Tou have this ability, in my opinion, maybe he is going to rob someone's credit." Next to him, his deputy, Lin Sheng, whispered disdainfully.

That's true.

"Go and see, are you ready, I'm afraid these people are not easy to deal with." Ji Chun didn't answer this and sent him away.

After a while, Lin Sheng ran back in small steps: "It's all ready, just wait for Brother Ji's order." ”

"Okay, I've made a contribution today, and I'm going back to invite my brothers to drink...... Let's go. Ji Chun said to the few servants who followed behind him.

In addition to the errand servants, there are more than ten people, all of whom are Baoding. When Ji Chun came, he had already asked the shopkeeper of the old inn of the Zeng family, and knew that there were more than 20 people here, all of them strong men, who claimed to be the boatmen of the maritime merchants, so out of prudence, in addition to bringing three classes of officials, he also called more than 50 Baoding, and the total number of people had exceeded 80.

Nearly four times the number of manpower, arresting more than 20 people, there should be no problem.

Thinking of this, Ji Chun kicked the door open suddenly: "On the order of Taishou, arrest the criminals, squat down, and don't move!" ”

Originally, he thought that he rushed into it with more than ten people, and even if these Haizhou guests were really villains, they would not dare to act rashly, but to his surprise, when he broke into the courtyard, the sound of shouting and gambling inside suddenly disappeared, and then he heard the sound of iron grinding.

"It's a dog, a dog is coming to arrest someone!" Ji Chun was about to remind everyone to be careful, when he heard someone shouting angrily, and in the dark, there was a faint sound of wind. Ji Chun hurriedly dodged, but Lin Sheng beside him did not have such a reaction speed, and was about to scold triumphantly, but the exit turned into a scream.

The knife slashed directly at Lin Sheng, Lin Sheng fell to the ground and screamed twice, and then lost his breath.

Ji Chun was shocked and angry, and shouted: "Don't kill, don't kill!" ”

He was just a small leader of the fast catch, and he was originally not qualified to give such an order, but seeing that his friend did not know whether he was alive or dead, he couldn't hold it back at all.

Rumble!

He was greeted with several thuds, several doors kicked open almost simultaneously, and immediately after, many figures rushed out of the doors, all with blades in their hands, screaming and slaying at them.

Ji Chun prepared a lot of manpower, but they were mainly distributed on all sides to prevent the thieves from escaping, but he never thought that these thieves would dare to act like this!

"Bold, do you want to rebel?" An errand officer called.

"Grandpa is the ancestor of the rebellion!" In addition to this sound, several knives slashed at him.

Ji Chun waved the iron ruler to open the opponent's knife this time, and was about to give an order to the Baoding Minzhuang behind him, but when he looked back, he found that the more than ten Baoding Minzhuang had abandoned the sticks without hesitation and fled towards the outside of the inn.

Originally, they could be at the door for a while, and when the people who were in ambush also came, they could also rely on the advantage of the people to inflict heavy damage on the thieves. But these Baoding Minzhuang have not been able to drill for many years, and after this Xu University Scholar came to serve as Taishou, he never asked about this matter, so when this matter came to an end, these Baoding were not only afraid, but also afraid!

Although Ji Chun wanted to apply for justice, he didn't want to die yet, seeing this situation, he could only exhale: "The thief is powerful, go quickly!" ”

He shouted again, and those officials and guards who had heard the wrong sound and wanted to rush to help disperse immediately!

After all, the Great Song Dynasty has been in peace for a long time, especially in places like Xuzhou.

Er Cao Cao was originally in the upper room, and there was a powder head sleeping next to him, and when he heard the wrong sound outside, he ran out naked. According to Ji Chun's plan, there were a few people who were specifically dealing with him, but these people hadn't left yet, they stepped forward to push Er Cao Cao down and hold down, Er Cao Cao shouted while struggling, and there were also two gangsters around him, who immediately came to the rescue, wielding a knife to kill those few errands.

"Brother Cao, what should I do now?" Then came to the Tongpu courtyard, counted the number of people and the surrounding situation, and found several corpses lying on the ground, either the errand or the guard, someone asked Er Cao Cao.

Er Cao Cao's expression was fierce, although he was cautious, but he was a bold and reckless character, and now this situation made him have no choice.

"What else can I do, wash Xuzhou City - no, take Xuzhou City, haven't we all seen it these days, in Xuzhou City, there are only a few hundred soldiers, and one by one is not as good as a scoundrel, let's take the yamen and become our own officials!"

Seeing that everyone was a little hesitant, Er Cao Cao said sharply: "You are allowed to burn, kill and rob, whoever is willing to do it with us, they are allowed to burn, kill and rob!" ”

With his voice, he released all the monsters in everyone's hearts!

After finishing speaking, he strode back to his yard, and saw the pink head shrunk in the quilt and shivering, his heart was full of madness, and he stabbed his head and killed the pink head, and then poured lamp oil and set the inn on fire directly.

In an instant, several fire points rose at the same time in the Zeng family's old inn, and there were screams and wails, and the fire and sound started from the Zeng family's old inn and spread to the surroundings.

"What's going on?" Er Cao Cao, who was about to escape with a few cronies, stopped in astonishment when he saw this situation.

He set the first fire, but he had more than 20 people, even if it was dispersed, how much momentum could he have?

But now, it is clear that there are dozens or even hundreds of people killing people everywhere and setting fires!

"Hehe, big brother, this is God helping me, no matter what is going on with him, such an opportunity, if we don't send it back to the market, we won't be able to live with God!" One of his cronies laughed excitedly.

Second Cao Cao's eyes rolled, this cronie is right, now is the opportunity!

Anyway, after the matter of the Zeng family's old stack, they will definitely become the wanted Jiangyang thieves by sea, it is better to catch this large sum of money, and hide in a poor and remote place in the future to become a rich man!

"It's done! Go to the government office, if the government office is also on fire, do you say that the official master will save himself first, or go to appease the people in the city first? Er Cao Cao said with a cruel smile.

The group of them rushed straight to the government office, which was close to the east gate, and was already in chaos at this time. Those officials who found out that something was wrong rushed here, and those who had escaped from the old inn of the Zeng family and some of the guards also returned here.

Xu Churen was also awakened, but unlike the panic of his subordinates, he still remained calm.

"Every time there is a big event, you must first calm down, you are like this, there is no chaos in the city, but let you mess up first, say, what's the matter!"

"There are thieves in the city!"

Ji Chunyu, who fled back, reported that Xu Churen suddenly lost his temper: "Naturally, there are thieves who are making trouble, what I want to ask is, what kind of thief is it and why is it causing trouble!" ”

Those servants all looked at Ji Chun, and Ji Chun said stubbornly: "The villain was ordered by the head of the squad to mobilize people to go to the old inn of the Zeng family to arrest the criminals, but the thieves were numerous, and they were not afraid of death...... Then the thieves set fire to them everywhere, bachelor, the thieves are really powerful! ”

Xu Churen was stunned for a moment.

He didn't expect that this chaos would be caused by his own servants arresting criminals. He didn't know that Ji Chun lied a little and exaggerated the momentum of the gangsters, anyway, judging from the current chaos in Pengcheng, there are probably hundreds of thieves, and they can indeed be a "big force".

"What about Mu Qi, as the leader of the team, he has the responsibility of arresting thieves and taking thieves, why haven't others come yet!" Xu Churen shouted again.

As he was talking, he saw Mu Qi running over untidy: "Bachelor, the humble position is here...... The lowly party just went to see the situation of the thieves, the number of thieves is probably three or five hundred, and the only way to do it now is to go to the Wuwei camp in person! ”

Mu Qi was annoyed and ashamed at this time, he originally wanted to grab the credit, but he didn't expect to grab such a big disaster.

He knows the skill of slapping Sima Fart, at this time, the city is dangerous, especially on the side of the Taishou Mansion, the thieves will definitely come here, relatively speaking, the safest place in the city is the Forbidden Army Guard.

Wuwei Battalion, also known as Xuanyi Army, once asked Su Shi for help when he encountered a flood when he was governing Xu. There are 1,000 soldiers in the entire Wuwei battalion, but now there are a lot of vacancies in the Great Song Army, and in fact, the soldiers stationed in Xuzhou are only two or three hundred after subtracting the vacancies.

"Is the old man a man who is afraid of things and abandons his job!" Xu Churen listened to his suggestion, snorted, and didn't think about it at all.

He was not without turmoil, and when he was young, he had encountered rebellions and persuaded the rebels alone.

"Who are the people who are rioting in the city, and what kind of thieves do you say are the great thieves?" He asked, staring at Mu Qi.

Mu Qi was so anxious that he stomped his feet, if Xu Churen agreed to escape to the Wuwei camp, then he could go there under the pretext of protecting the bachelor?

And at this time, Xu Churen also asked about the identity of the thief, which also embarrassed him a little.

It's just that you can't hide it anymore at this time.

"It's Di Qiu, who said that there is a gang of gangsters from Haizhou, which is related to Hu Hu's death, and asks me to send someone to help arrest him. Because it was getting late, the humble position did not alarm the bachelor, but he never thought that this gang of gangsters would be so strong! He could only say lightly.

"Xuzhou? Zhou Quan's child? When Xu Churen heard this, he was almost so angry that he vomited blood!
