At nightfall, more than a dozen infantry and cavalry left the city one after another, marching in different directions. About an hour later, there was not a single soldier in the entire Marshal's Mansion.

In the corner of the inner house, a black shadow flashed, he was masked in a black scarf, his skills were extremely neat, and he came to the door of a room with a few tumbling and vertical jumps.

"Knock knock!" He tapped the knocker softly, and a soft shout came from the room: "Who? ”

"It's me!" The man in black replied in a low voice.

The door was pushed open a crack, and the man in black silently slipped inside, and the door closed again.

"Are they all gone?"

"It's all gone, I saw with my own eyes, a total of twelve squads, cavalry and infantry are out of the city."

"Okay, now you can close the gates."

"Will they be able to catch up with Zhao Go?"

"I can't catch up, Zhao Gou and those people are taking a different path."

"That's good, it's better to let them go around outside until dawn, when the city gates are closed, it will be difficult for them to come back."

"How many people were sent over there? Can you stop Zong Ze and Liu Hao? ”

"Send someone? Not a single one. ”

"What? Not a single one? Then Zhao Gou, didn't they just escape? ”

"I didn't want to catch them, so I just ran away."

"You promised me to catch them and deal with them, why did you suddenly change your mind?"

"It's up to you, who do you think you are?"

"Don't forget, there are people on my side, and they don't just listen to you!"

"Yes, that's why I'm here to see you today to tell you that you can die!"

"What do you say, you want to kill people? Ah......h

"You are the same as your shameless father, if you have milk, you are a mother, you can eat anyone, and you don't even recognize your ancestors, what are you doing alive? Besides, even if we don't kill you, one day the surname Wan will break you into ten thousand pieces. ”

"You...... You ......"

"Before I die, I'll tell you another secret, it was my family who cut off your father's dog's head with his own hands, so you should die too!"

The door was gently pushed open again, and the man in black stooped down and cautiously walked out of it, looked around for a moment, and then jumped up the wall and flew down.

"Woo......" A low wail quickly disappeared into the air as soon as it came out, and everything was silent again.

The fiery red morning sun crossed the horizon, and the cold golden glow shrouded the thousand-year-old city of Kaifeng, desolate and lonely.

"Dangdang!" The loud sound of gongs echoed in the streets and alleys, "The king of Chu decreed, the great Chu was established, the new emperor ascended the throne, in order to clear the remnants of the rebellion and make peace with the people, from now on, the whole city will be under martial law, re-register the population, and those who do not meet the regulations will be arrested. ”

People who woke up from their sleep were attracted by the noise, and gathered in groups to whisper and talk.

"Why did this edict come to our eastern city? Aren't you afraid that our Wan Dashuai will cut him? ”

"Last night, I saw the big marshal leading everyone out of the city."

"Really?"

"It's true, I've seen them too, and I haven't seen them come back yet."

"Huh? So what to do? Don't you want us anymore? ”

"No, no, don't think nonsense, Dashuai is our guardian thunder god, how can he leave us alone?"

"Yes, yes, don't get cranky. When will the big guy come back? ”

"I don't know! Let's wait and see. ”

"yes, let's wait and see."

A group of soldiers who had struck a gong to announce it stopped in front of them.

"Wait? What are you waiting for? Now there is only one person in Kaifeng City, and that is the King of Chu, you untouchables, don't be delusional, Generalissimo Wan? Generalissimo Wan has long been driven out of the city, and it is impossible to come back! I advise you to hurry back to your home, prepare the household quotation plate, and after a while, Master Xu will personally lead people to inspect it, if there is a slight untruth, be careful of your head! ”

After saying that, the group of soldiers walked away, leaving behind a group of unknown people who looked at each other.

Xu Bingzhe rode a high-headed horse, with officers and soldiers like wolves and tigers, and went in and out of every house wantonly, as if he had entered a no-man's land.

"But the Lin family's rice line in front?" Xu Bingzhe's pair of triangular eyes jumped, the eldest lady of the Lin family made him remember it for a long time, but he never had a chance to get close to her, he secretly made up his mind in his heart, this time no matter what, he couldn't let that little lady run away again!

The officers and soldiers came to the front of a dozen shops in a daze, and one of them shouted: "Whoever is in charge here, come out and talk back!" ”

"Master Guan, the little one is here, what are your orders?" An old man with a slightly hunched back ran over quickly, looked up and saw Xu Bingzhe on the horse, and hurriedly bowed and said, "Oh, isn't this Master Xu?" Why did your old man come to me? ”

"Lin Lao Wu, is your master here?" Xu Bingzhe asked expressionlessly.

"Back to Lord Xu, my lord is not here, you can just tell me about anything." That Lin Lao Wu said with a smile.

"Tell you?" Xu Bingzhe snorted, "Are you the master?" ”

Lin Lao Wu hurriedly said: "My lord, my lord had an explanation when he left, but the little old man was able to master the affairs of the Lin family's firm. ”

Xu Bingzhe raised his head, "Okay, since that's the case, then I'll take matters into account." Come on, the Lin family firm hides miscellaneous people privately, does not abide by official rules, and all of them are arrested! ”

Those officers and soldiers who were sharpening their knives rushed in in response to the call and immediately began an earth-shaking "large-scale search."

"Lord Xu, you ...... What do you mean by that? Lin Lao Wu stood there and stomped his feet, but he was helpless.

"Lin Lao Wu, master, I am not an unreasonable person, I will take away the people you have here first, as for whether there is any wrong, let your master explain it himself. If your master is really inconvenient, Miss Lin can too. After saying that, a dozen horses led the officers and soldiers like wolves and tigers, and escorted more than 200 servants and miscellaneous servants away.

The same scene was staged everywhere at the same time, and the square in front of the Xu family's mansion in the west of Kaifeng City was densely packed with people, who were the "suspects" who were arrested.

Xu Bingzhe sat in the high pavilion in front of the square, leisurely drinking tea, deaf to the noise below.

At this time, his butler Xu Fu ran over sweating profusely, "Master, the merchants in the city are basically here." ”

Xu Bingzhe put down the teacup and hummed, suddenly sat up straight and asked, "What about the east of the city?" Are they all here? ”

Xu Fu said: "Back to the master, they are all here." ”

"Isn't there anyone who doesn't want to come?"

"Back to the master, no, all of them are obedient."

Xu Bingzhe was stunned, "Huh? Did that place go? ”
