Chapter 82: Chaos
"What's wrong?" Yue Su turned his head to look at Yang Yishan.
"It's going well, it's going so well." Yang Yishan blurted out: "Do you remember, my lord, when we were just stationed in the ancestral hall, the Zhang family desperately objected, and they made noise every day, and it took more than ten days to stop. Today, we have transported all their ancestral property, but they are silent, which is really unreasonable. I wonder if they have other plans. ”
The facts are indeed as Yang Yishan said, when Yue Su had just entered the ancestral hall and was digging hard, the Zhang family not only complained, but also often demonstrated and made trouble. Yue Su successively put many people who took the lead in making trouble in prison, so that the group of people could be honest.
"That's right, it's really going too well." Yue Su nodded and said, "Then you estimate, what plans will they have?" ”
Yang Yishan hesitated for a moment and said, "They won't stop the robbery halfway." In this way, our plans will be completely disrupted. ”
"Although the Zhang family is a local clan, the total number of men is only two or three hundred, and the ones that led before have been taken by us, and the rest should not be able to jump. Even if they really have that courage, they are not afraid of them as a teacher. Just let them toss and see how big a wave they can make. ”
Zhangjia Village.
As Yue Su said, the Zhang family is a local clan, and some of them live in the city, and most of them live outside the city. Such big families have a lot of land, because the clansmen are surnamed Zhang, so they are named Zhangjiadian. Compared with Zhang Guozhu, they are already regarded as side branches, but the land they cultivate is Zhang Guozhu's, so all actions are at the dispatch of Zhang Guozhu.
Zhang Guozhu is dead, and Zhang Guobang and some people with status in the clan have also been arrested. The snake can't do it without a head, and the rest of these people can only work honestly at home. But today, everyone gathered in the square at the entrance of the village, and there were nearly 1,000 men, women and children combined.
Standing before them was a young woman with a child, and beside her was a man dressed as a butler, and a maid. The housekeeper Yue Su had seen it, it was Zhang Ju, the housekeeper of the Zhang Mansion. Behind the four of them, dozens of thugs and nurses stood up. Looking at such a style, you can also think of who this woman is, she is Zhang Guozhu's wife-Mi Jun.
Mi Jun took her son and gathered the clansmen together, facing the spring breeze, she shouted loudly: "Zhang clansman, although my Mi Jun is a person with a foreign surname, but I married into the Zhang family, and I am also a member of the Zhang family." Before the old man's death, he was the earl of the imperial court, and Yue Su, the governor of Henan, dared to dig up the ancestral hall of the Zhang family and snatch away the ancestral property of the Zhang family, which was really too deceitful. I am a woman, and I am a widow, leading my children to spend my life, and I don't pay attention to the gold and silver. But everything is big but the word 'reason', even if he Yue Su is a big official, he can't rob other people's ancestral property. Those golds are all left by the ancestors of your Zhang family, and I don't dare to covet it, I have already agreed with my uncle Zhang Guobang to give all the ancestral property of the Zhang family to the Zhang family. However, the uncle is now arrested by Yue Su and put in prison, and several uncles of the Zhang family have also been arrested, seeing that the ancestral property of the Zhang family is about to be robbed by Yue Su, I don't even have anyone to discuss. Gather everyone today, I, Mi Jun, am here on behalf of the lord under Jiuquan, and I only hope that everyone will work together to protect the ancestral property of the Zhang family and take back the gold. Here, I, Mi Jun, promise everyone that after the Zhang family's ancestral property is taken back, I will not take one or two, and will give it all to the Zhang family. I don't think we want our ancestral property to be taken away by outsiders, as long as we work together, we will be able to take it back! ”
Mi Jun's generous statement, coupled with her promise, the enthusiasm of the Zhang family immediately rose. At the moment, many people echoed loudly, "Take back the ancestral property!" "Let's work together to protect the ancestral property of the Zhang family!" "You can't let the lord die without turning a blind eye!" …… Seeing the anger of the crowd, Mi Jun was secretly happy in her heart, and when the shouting subsided, she said loudly: "Yue Su's honor guard will transport the ancestral property out of Yanshi County today and go to Luoyang. Therefore, I think that we should rob him halfway and ask him to understand. Isn't Yue Su boasting of the blue sky? Let's ask him together, why did Shi Qingtian take away people's ancestral property! If he returns it, that's it, if he insists on not returning, I'd rather take this surname and distinguish it with him! Even if he has a heavy army and is the governor of the imperial court, I will not give up with him if I give up this surname. My child is still young......"
As he spoke, Mi Jun pulled the child next to him in front of him, and then said: "He is the only bone and blood of Lord Zhang, after I die, I will ask you to take care of it." Everyone is a descendant of the Zhang family, please......"
After that, he led the child and knelt on the ground together. The housekeeper Zhang Ju and the maid beside Mi Jun also quickly knelt down, along with the guards behind him.
When the Zhang clan saw Mi Jun kneeling, where did they dare to accept her kneeling, and they all knelt to the ground.
Then, I heard Zhang Ju shouting loudly: "Madam, we are all members of the Zhang clan, and it is our responsibility to protect the ancestral property, how can we let you come forward as a woman." The matter of stopping Yue Su will be left to us. Even if we die, we die first. The little young master is the only blood and blood of the lord, so I ask Mrs. to take care of it. The big guy said, that's not right! ”
"Yes!" …… The Zhang clan shouted loudly in unison. Once again, the crowd was surging.
It took a long time before the voice calmed down, and Zhang Ju shouted again: "That Yue Su is guarded by thousands of soldiers, and we are unarmed, but as long as everyone musters up the courage and dares to face it, I don't believe that he Yue Su dares to kill us all!" The government forced the people to rebel, and he couldn't afford this crime! What's more, the deceased lord of our family is still the earl of the emperor, how can he be bullied so much? ”
"Great butler, you are right! Let's go together, even if you die, you have to take back your ancestral property! ”…… Just as the indignation of the people was aroused, a young man in the costume of a family came running on a donkey. When the family saw Mi Jun, he hurriedly turned over and got off the donkey, rushed to Mi Jun's side in a few steps, and said eagerly: "Madam, the governor's guard of honor has set off, pulling a lot of carts, which should be our ancestral property." What now? ”
Seeing that the big guys were all indignant, Mi Jun stood up with his son. said loudly: "We must not let Yue Su take the ancestral property away, the big guy will come with me and intercept him on the official road together!" ”
"Good! Good! ...... "Come with me!" Mi Jun took the child into his arms, didn't even sit in the carriage, and rushed to the official road with his clansmen on foot.
She had only taken a few steps, and with a hint of pain on her face, she reached out and pressed her left rib. Her maid saw it in her eyes, hurriedly took a few steps to her side, and said in a very low voice: "Miss, your injury is not healed yet, so let me hug it." ”
Mi Jun glanced at the maid and said in a low voice: "No need, he is my son." After speaking, he stopped paying attention to the maid and walked forward silently.
Zhangjiadian is outside Yanshi City, seven miles to the southwest, to the north of the official road, only more than two miles. It doesn't take long to get there on foot.
Yin Zhu led the escort army to hurry, but the speed was very slow because he was carrying dozens of carts. More than ten miles out of the city, I saw nearly 1,000 people blocking the way. Yin Zhu rode on a horse, walking in the front, when he saw this posture, he was shocked at first, and then found that the other party had no weapon in his hand, so he settled down.
He first raised the whip high and shouted, "All the troops are on alert." Then he pointed his whip forward and shouted, "Where are the people, don't you disperse quickly!" ”
The person who stood in front of him was the Zhang clan, Mi Jun held the child and stood at the front. She took two steps forward and said loudly: "We are from the Zhang clan, and I am the wife of Zhang Guozhu, the uncle of Zhenbei. Today, I am here, especially to wait for Lord Yue, the governor. This poor master, please ask Lord Yue to come out and answer. ”
Yin Zhu pointed with a horsewhip and said loudly: "My family is busy with official business, how can you see it when you say it." Wait for it to disperse quickly, if there is a grievance to be filed, you will ask the governor of Luoyang to act! ”
"Su asked Lord Yue to have the destiny of the blue sky, and the people came to redress their grievances, and they were all immediately received, why did they avoid it today, could it be that they did something unfortunate?" Mi Jun said sharply.
"Nonsense! My family is for the country and the people, how can I ever do something deceitful? Don't talk nonsense! Today, it is said that the adults will escort important things and return to Luoyang, and there will be no room for loss on the road. If you don't leave, don't blame me for being polite! Yin Zhu shouted loudly.
"Escorting something important?" Mi Jun snorted coldly and said with a smile: "I think the escort is embezzling other people's ancestral property!" The property in the box is the ancestral property of my husband's family, and it is also the property of these clansmen. The little woman said that she brought her clansmen here today to ask Lord Yue, why did he transport the ancestral property of the Zhang family away? Even though he is the governor of Henan, my husband is also a general soldier, an earl of the imperial court. Could it be that once my husband died, only orphans and widows remained, and I was left to be bullied by others? Everything has to talk about the word 'reason', and I also ask Lord Yue to come out and talk to me and others, what is the reason? Otherwise, the little woman will fight to the death, and she will never get out of the way! ”
Mi Jun is also sharp-tongued, and when he said these words, he was speechless for a rough person like Yin Zhu. Fortunately, it doesn't matter, after all, there are so many guards here, are you still afraid that these unarmed people will come forward to rob them?
"It's the Countess, I'm really sorry! The lord has already instructed that there will be no one on the way, and he also asks his wife to leave for the time being, and he will talk about it in Luoyang if there is something. With that, he waved his whip forward and shouted, "Brothers, send the Countess and the Zhang family away!" ”
At his command, more than 100 of the guards who were ready for battle immediately roared forward. One by one, they shouted loudly: "Get out of the way, or we'll blame us!" ”
Seeing this posture, Mi Jun was not afraid at all, turned around, faced the clansmen, and shouted loudly: "Clansmen, now that the officers and soldiers can't reason with us, they are going to beat us, what should we do?" Could it be that they just gave in and let them snatch the ancestral property of the Zhang family? ”
"Nope! Even if we die, we can't let people snatch our ancestral property away! ”…… The tribesmen immediately cried out.
Seeing such a momentum, the guards who stepped forward couldn't help but stop their steps.
At this time, I saw Mi Jun raise one arm and shouted loudly: "Clansmen, Lord Yue is consciously aggrieved and does not dare to come out to see us, so he only asks some soldiers to come out and fake the tiger." What shall we do? ”
"Obey Madame's orders!" …… The big guy screamed loudly again.
"Lord Yue doesn't want to see us, so let's go see him! Let's go up with the big guys, and follow me to meet Lord Yue! After Mi Jun finished speaking, he turned around and wanted to rush forward.
Those clansmen followed and shouted, "Let's go to Lord Yue together and ask him for justice!" ”
As soon as the words fell, the maid beside Mi Jun was the first to take the lead and rushed forward. Mi Jun also ran two steps forward, followed by the big housekeeper Zhang Ju. Zhang Ju is running shouted loudly: "Clansmen, isn't the big guy even as good as a woman with a foreign surname?" ”
His words are quite good, the original clansmen planned to follow Mi Jun to rush forward, as soon as they heard this, they accelerated their pace, and only a few steps to grab in front of Mi Jun.
Seeing the clansmen rushing past him one by one, Mi Jun's footsteps stopped. Reaching out to cover his left rib, he gasped deeply.
When the guards saw that the people did not retreat but advanced, they were stunned for a while, because the other party was just unarmed people, and Yin Zhu did not order to kill, but was caught off guard by the other party. The purpose of the clansmen was just to rush over and go to see Yue Su according to Mi Jun's wishes. Therefore, when he rushed past the guards, he did not use his hands to beat or snatch weapons.
If the other party doesn't move, the guards naturally can't do it without instructions, but just hold the spear sideways and want to stop it. However, there was a sudden scream from the crowd, and one of the guards fell.
As soon as the man behind the guard saw his companion falling, he immediately shouted, "Dachengzi! ”
The screams were heard by everyone. The big guys all turned their heads to look in this direction, and many of the guards shouted, "Who did it, dare to kill the officers and soldiers to rebel, don't you want to live?" ”
But just after this sentence was settled, another scream sounded, followed by another shout: "Brother Shan! ”
This time, it was a protector who fell. Two guards were killed one after another, and the other guards were red-eyed, and everyone shouted together: "They are rebelling, don't show mercy anymore!" Kill! As soon as the words fell, the guards all picked up their weapons and began to slash.
With this move by the guards, the Zhang clan was immediately cut down to more than a dozen, and the screams came and went. Seeing the officers and soldiers killing, the Zhang clan was also a little panicked, and someone shouted loudly: "Hurry up and grab the weapon!" ”
There are only a hundred guards who have just rushed over, but the Zhang clan has nearly a thousand people, but if you are prepared to fight, you are not afraid, after all, the other party has no weapons. However, because they had just been rushed to the front by the people, there were still many people who had already rushed into the center of the guard, and if they started at this time, they would be a little unable to do it. The big guys are torn together, you fight for me, and there are screams from time to time, but I don't know if it's the officers and soldiers or the Zhang clan.
Yin Zhu in the back saw this scene, but he was a little panicked, the people who did it were all ordinary people, if he ordered the whole army to charge, it would inevitably be a river of blood. However, if you don't give the order to send people to help in the war, the brothers in front of you will suffer.
When he hesitated, the guard Qian on the side was in a hurry, he was nominally the supreme commander of the guard, but he obeyed Yue Su's orders, Yue Su let Yin Zhu be in charge of the escort, and he could only be his deputy. However, the real officer is different from the people in the green forest, and when Mr. Qian saw that Yin Zhu had no other instructions, he shouted: "Brothers, give me and disperse the people!" If there are those who resist, just don't greet the vital point! ”
The guards are all his direct subordinates, and if there are casualties, he naturally doesn't do it. Naturally, at the critical moment, what he said should be more effective than Yin Zhu. They are both protectors and have feelings for each other, how can they see their brothers fighting more with less in front. At the moment, the guards behind were rushing up.
Above the reinforcements, the situation was immediately reversed, and at the same time it was a mess.
At this time, in the intersection of the diagonal stabs, the sound of horses' hooves suddenly sounded. The sound of horses' hooves came from far and near, and it was a matter of moments. Yin Zhu looked at the sound and saw that the dust was flying, and dozens of horsemen were coming!
