Zhu Yuanzhang carried Fang Xuan's body and walked through the side door of the backyard to the street, at this time, the county yamen and Zhang Douyao's house were in chaos, full of the sound of chaotic people shouting and running, interspersed with the screams of men before death and the cries of women, but on the contrary, the streets were quiet, and not even half a figure could be seen.

The residents of the county town, especially those who lived near the yamen and Zhang Douyao's house, all shrunk into their houses, closed the doors tightly, used tables, chairs and benches, and all the furniture in the house against the thin wooden doors.

Some old books from decades ago like to portray the peasant uprising very beautifully and won the support of the people, saying that the peasant rebel army is the people's army, and all the people are vying to obey it, it is all.

If the peasant rebel army arrives, all the people immediately join in, then the number of the rebel army should increase very quickly, the population of a county town in the late Ming Dynasty is about 10,000 to 100,000, the population of a small depressed county is usually more than 10,000, and the population of a prosperous large county town is nearly 100,000...... Why did these peasant uprisings frequently fail and flee in all directions?

The answer is very simple, the government is afraid of the peasant uprising, and the people are even more afraid! Because most of the peasants will become thugs after the uprising, and become an evil army that burns, kills, and loots, ordinary good people will not join the rebel army unless they have to. Moreover, when the gentry and wealthy families in various places organized the village warrior team to resist the rebel army, the common people would enthusiastically join the township warrior team and become the enemy of the rebel army......

For example, Li Zicheng, who has been wandering all over the world for more than ten years, has never pulled up a decent team, just because the rogue is a rogue after all, and the people don't support him at all. It wasn't until Li Yan joined in, invented the slogan "King Chuang comes and doesn't pay for food", and won the support of the people, that his team snowballed bigger and bigger, and finally defeated the Ming court.

Zhu Yuanzhang carried Fang Xuan's corpse and walked less than three steps on the quiet street when he felt several glances cast through the cracks of the nearby windows, these eyes were filled with surprise and fear, obviously treating him as a chaotic person.

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed secretly in his heart, he was pretending to be bloodthirsty and killing just now, in order to blend in with Zheng Yanfu's team and not be attacked, now that he has walked out of Zhang's mansion, he should change his state. He stiffened his body a little bit, pretending to be frightened and frightened, and ran up with the corpse on his shoulder, screaming as he ran: "Murder...... There are rioters who kill people and cause chaos...... My brother was killed, help......"

His mournful cries streaked across the quiet streets, stirring up more unease and fear, and the gazes cast through the cracks in the windows no longer suspicious of him, but turned to sympathy......

Zhu Yuanzhang ran quickly across a few streets, away from the county yamen and Zhang Douyao's home, to the street on the edge of the southern city, which was far away from the place where the chaos was, and some cowering figures began to appear on the corner of the street, and even had the courage to climb onto the roof, looking in the direction of the yamen, and ran to the inn where Miss Ma San temporarily lived, Zhu Yuanzhang found that there were a few bold people gathered together in the hall of the inn, and whispered: "What happened to the yamen?" ”

"Hey, Zheng Yanfu killed the official and rebelled!"

"Have you heard of Zheng Yanfu's name? It is said that he is the first good man in our Cheng City, and now he has become a thief. ”

"Zhang Douyao, this dog official is dead."

"Hey, Zhang Douyao's dog official really deserves to die, but Zheng Yanfu's gang is not a good thing, my brother escaped from there just now and quietly told me that Zhang Douyao's house is full of women's crying voices, what do you say is that?"

"Uh...... These guys are just crazy! ”

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang ran into the inn carrying Fang Xuan's corpse, and shouted in horror: "Someone, save Fang Guard, he was cut by the rioters, come on!" ”

The few chattering people shrank back in unison, how dare they come over to help.

Instead, the shopkeeper who was hiding under the counter came out, looked at Fang Xuan twice, and said, "This person is already dead, and he can't be saved......

Of course, Zhu Yuanzhang knew that Fang Xuan had died a long time ago, but acting had to be completely acted, he carried Fang Xuan's body and ran to the backyard, such a big thing happened in the county town, he was sure that the fifteen swordsmen had already invited Miss Ma San to the black carriage parked in the backyard, as long as they saw that the situation was wrong, they would immediately flee from the city.

Running to the backyard, sure enough, the black carriage was ready to go, and fifteen swordsmen surrounded the carriage, as if they were waiting for the Fang guards to come back. The second king of the White Water and ten family members, and a group of porters were also beside the carriage, carrying the dowry, and clearly ready to evacuate at any time.

Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang running in, Wang Er's face was overjoyed, and he shouted: "Brother, you are finally back, I heard that there are rioters killing people, I am worried that you will be in danger, and I want to go out to find you several times, but the porter brothers here are also afraid, and they drag me not to let me go......"

Zhu Yuanzhang pretended not to look at him, he was now playing a frightened person, who didn't care about the surrounding situation at all, hurriedly put the corpse on his shoulders on the ground, and shouted at the fifteen knife men: "Fang Escort was cut by the rebels, I desperately fled back with him on my back, come and rescue him." ”

Fifteen knifemen came around, the curtain of the black carriage was also lifted, and the little maid Purple Heart also jumped down, as if she wanted to help, the two knifemen squatted down, looked at the knife wounds on Fang Guard's body, touched his snort again, looked at each other and said, "It's dead!" ”

"Huh?" Purple Heartfelt startled, took a few steps back, and retracted into the carriage.

"Zhu Ba, what happened in the city?" A knifeman, who looked more mature, asked.

Zhu Yuanzhang showed a frightened look and said incoherently: "I...... Walk...... In the heart of the city, see the small traders and vendors...... Suddenly, a lot of bandits rushed over and killed ......"

The knife slapped Zhu Yuanzhang on the shoulder, and said in a deep voice: "Calm down, don't be afraid, speak well!" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang swallowed two mouthfuls of saliva, pretending to be trying to calm his mood, and after a while, he stopped wheezing and said: "Just now I was slipping around in the center of the city, and suddenly there was a loud roar from the west city gate, rushing over hundreds of chaotic people, I was frightened, I hid in the ditch on the side of the road and didn't dare to come out, only dared to show half of my face and peek." They first rushed into the yamen, killed all the officials inside, and then rushed into Master Zhang's mansion, killing people when they saw them, robbing things when they saw them, and ...... women when they saw them."

From the black carriage, there was a unison exclamation of Miss Ma San and Purple Heart, obviously frightened by the last half-sentence of "I ...... when I see a woman".

"How did Fang Guard die? What is the situation in Zhangfu? The knifeman continued.

Zhu Yuanzhang's lie came as soon as he opened his mouth: "I saw the chaotic people entering Zhang's Mansion, and suddenly remembered that the Fang guards were also sending worship stickers in Zhang's Mansion today, so I mustered up the courage and got into the side door of the backyard, wanting to pick up the Fang guards and escape...... I didn't expect ...... I happened to see Fang Escort fighting with a group of bandits in front of the firewood room, he was cut by a tall and big bandit leader, and he fell to the ground with blood, I didn't know that he was dead, so I ran out with Fang Escort on my back while the bandits were grabbing things......"

The knife hand frowned: "You went into the mansion to carry people out?" Do you have the guts? ”

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't answer, but Wang Er next to him jumped over and said angrily: "What are you talking about?" Do you look down on people? Why didn't my brother have the audacity? Baishui Zhuba is also a well-known hero, who doesn't know ten miles and eight towns? Only you stupid birds who have just returned from Xi'an Mansion haven't heard of it. ”

The knife hand was drunk like this by Wang Er, but he didn't dare to say more, he just came back from Xi'an Mansion, and he hadn't heard of Zhu Ba's name, but Wang Er had been famous for a long time, and he knew it. Wang Er is a person who says the same, since he has said so, then it sounds like this.

"What are we going to do now?" The swordsman suddenly turned to the other swordsmen and asked, "Guard Fang is dead, who of us will take the idea?" ”

Another swordsman said: "We are here to send off relatives, although the Fang guard is dead, relatives must be delivered......"

"I also sent a fart kiss, the chaotic people have rushed into Zhang's mansion, is it possible that we also rush into Zhang's mansion with knives?"

"So what do you say?"

"How do I know!"

A group of swordsmen shouted, usually there was always someone with an idea around them, either the eldest young master or Fang Xuan, now that the eldest young master was not there, Fang Xuan was dead again, and there was chaos all of a sudden.

At this moment, Miss Ma San's voice suddenly came from the carriage: "What about Master Zhang and Young Master Zhang?" Do you know their whereabouts? There was a hint of panic in her tone, but there was also a hint of excitement.

Zhu Yuanzhang said in a low voice: "There are two corpses next to Fang Guard, one is wearing the official uniform of the county order, and his head has been cut off, I can't tell how old he is, and the other is a young man under twenty years old, wearing a high-end silk suit, I think it may be Young Master Zhang." ”

"Dead?" The voice in the carriage trembled slightly, on the one hand, because of the fear of the dead, and on the other hand, because of the secret joy that there was no need to marry. Although the third lady hid the joy very deeply, in the ears of Zhu Yuanzhang, who is good at observing words and feelings, she heard it clearly.

The third lady tried to say in her calmest tone: "Since the two fathers and sons of the Zhang family are dead, let's go home quickly." ”

"Uh......" The knife hand frowned tightly: "Miss, this is just Zhu Ba's words, it can't be believed, if the father and son of the Zhang family didn't die, but our relatives ran away, what kind of system will it become after it is passed out?" ”

The third lady was dumbfounded.

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly interjected: "I guess that after the rebels robbed the Zhang Mansion and the Yamen, they will immediately flee from the city, so as not to be surrounded and suppressed by the officers and soldiers, why don't we wait for a day and a half, and wait for the exact news to come out, and then make a decision." ”
