Chapter 19: The Storming of the Baron's Palace

Chen Wu was recognized so smoothly, although there was the force deterrence he and Dian Yong showed, but there was another important reason inside.

In the eyes of the two old men, since the riot was inevitable, they pushed others out as much as possible. In this way, after the court quelled the rebellion, the first evil was only borne by Chen Wu and Dian Yong, and it was not their turn to be Sun and Li. Although as long as he is a thief, he will definitely leave an indelible record in the official archives, but most of them can save their lives, and at most they will be sentenced to exile.

In the past few years, the empire has mostly handled rebellions in other places in this way, and generally does not kill them all. Only the head of the thief will be severely sentenced and his house will be destroyed.

Chen Wu was not ignorant of Sun Shou and Li Dongqing's thoughts, but such a compromise was exactly what he needed.

After hitting it off, Chen Wu accepted the surnames of the two towns to take refuge. Subsequently, he instructed the people of the Sun and Li families to lock up the soldiers of the Catcher and City Defense Battalions, who still had their breath, and wait for them to be disposed of, while the corpses were stripped of their clothes and dragged outside the town for burial. After this was done, he called a few young men from the Sun and Li families, and together with Dian Yong, they caught up with the rioting crowd.

Killing officials and rebelling is such a big thing, and there is such a big movement, it is naturally impossible to hide it from the Qian family.

At this moment, the door of the Qian Ji grain shop was locked, and the back of the door was sealed with a grain bag filled with soil, and the man and the shopkeeper hid inside with sticks and iron knives to guard against death. The mob in Changshan tried several times, but to no avail, and some people were cut off their hands.

In this case, Chen Wu arrived with people.

In the face of the stubborn defense of the Qian family's grain shop, these mobs, who were peasants not long ago, had no good way. But the player's means are not too many ways to deal with this kind of small scene. Chen Wu parted the crowd, came to the front and only glanced at it, and then said a simple and practical method. Soon, large piles of leaves and ignitions were moved outside the house. The people in the grain shop mistakenly thought that the mob outside was going to set fire to the house, and they couldn't help but be shocked and shouted and cursed.

However, the shopkeeper of the rich family was in charge, and although the people inside were flustered, they did not dare to run out.

Chen Wu didn't really mean to burn down the entire grain shop, and after signaling the others to light the fire, he sprinkled water on it and added some common smoke such as horse manure. Soon, several young men of the Li family were called up, covered their mouths and noses with wet cloths, and began to fan in desperately with large pu fans.

The hot smoke and the strange smell of fumigated animal manure are absolutely terrifyingly lethal on a hot day.

When the people outside endured coughing and tears, and changed three stubbles, the people in the Qian Ji grain store finally couldn't bear it, moved the shelter from the inside, rushed out desperately, and lay on the ground and breathed heavily. Needless to say, the mob cheered, and before the fire was extinguished, they rushed in and scrambled for food.

Soon, cheers and fights for food rang out inside, mixed with their own coughs choking on the remaining smoke.

Looking at this scene, Chen Wu did not stop it.

To be precise, he couldn't stop it if he wanted to do so without the initial integration of these mobs and the establishment of his own position. Then again, even if the grain in this grain shop is robbed, it doesn't matter. Since the Qian family's grain store was robbed by displaced people once last month, there is very little grain stored in it, only enough to sell it in two days. The real big head was stored in the cellar of his house by the baron of the Qian family, and he was shipped and sold every day.

In the face of these thousands of displaced people, the food in the Qian Ji Grain Store is enough for each of them to drink a few mouthfuls of thin rice soup.

One qiē was exactly what he expected.

The mob rushed in and soon found that there were only a dozen bags of grain in stock, and they were all more or less mixed with wheat bran and even fine sand. This food, thinking about it, knows that it can't be all of the Qian family, and it is not enough for them to survive this famine. was slightly mentioned by Chen Wu, and the people who didn't grab the food swarmed around and rushed to the Baron's Palace.

This second-class baron, who was awarded the title of his ancestral legacy, is considered a relatively low-level among the nobles and families of the empire. But even so, with the privileges of the nobility, the Qian family still controlled the only quarry and grain shop in the town, and even operated a winery. With these businesses and rentals, the baron of the second class was able to sustain himself with a life of abundance and wine, and lived peacefully for more than twenty years.

But today, his good days are over.

Although the baron himself was lucky enough to avoid a disaster because he went to visit relatives in a foreign country, his family and nephews did not have such good luck. If they had been decisive and had fled in a carriage as soon as they got the news of the riot, they would still have a chance. But the Baroness's greed and hesitation ruined the Qian family's only chance of escape. Shortly after the robbery of the Qian Ji grain store, the baroness's family, who were about to get into the carriage, were surrounded by a mob in the house.

Also trapped were the baron's two sons, the steward, the porter, and five or six servants and the courtier.

Compared with the Qian family's grain store, the defense of the Baron's Mansion is much tighter. Armed with clubs, swords, and even two hunting bows, the servants and guards retreated to the high platform of the inner courtyard wall in fear, condescending to confront the mob. After several arrows wounded several people and killed another, many mobs were briefly frightened away.

However, having tasted the sweetness of grabbing grain, thousands of people in Changshan Town were not lightly deterred.

They knew very well that the Qian family's defense force was very limited. As long as a few more people are killed and wounded, it is only a matter of time before the Baron's Palace is captured. The reason why they didn't move forward was because everyone didn't want to be those dead and wounded, but wanted to pick up the bargain behind.

"Can it really be done with these rabble?"

Seeing a large group of rioters looting wantonly in the front yard of the Baron's Palace, fighting from time to time over one or two worthless items, and the rest were frightened by a mere brick wall and two hunting bows, Dian Yong, who came here, was a little disdainful and worried. He has traveled to Wu'an, the county town of Taiping County, several times, and knows very well what kind of combat power the real emperor ** team has. Even if the local troops are negligent in training, have a low fighting spirit, and are lax in their armament, it is still not something that these peasant households, who are not even scattered sand, can withstand.

"With just these thousands of people, of course you can't stop it."

Looking at the scene in front of him, Chen Wu was not surprised, and said to Dian Yong: "So, we need more people, and we want to push them into a desperate situation as much as possible." The population of the entire Longshan Mansion is one million, as long as thirty percent of them can become homeless people, and we will be able to attack the county seat! ”

As for now......

It's enough to have Dian Yong shoot alone!

After receiving Chen Wu's orders, Dian Yong gave up the order. Unwrapped from the horse's back, he removed the two-stone hard bow he was carrying.

The Baron's Mansion, standing on the earthen wall of the inner courtyard, has been dazzled by countless mobs. They didn't expect these unarmed mobs to have hard bows, and they stood there stupidly one by one, like fixed grass targets. Not to mention Dian Yong's archery skills, even Chen Wu can hit ten shots and ten hits!

After a few breaths, the sound of sharp objects breaking through the air sounded one after another.

If it is a well-trained Imperial soldier, he will immediately hide behind a wall or raise his shield at this time. But the two guards holding the earthen hunting bows did not realize what was happening, and were pierced through the heart by a terrible force, and fell from the platform of the earthen wall by inertia.

After a brief moment of consternation, the mob erupted in loud cheers.

Without the threat of these two hunting bows, the Baron's Court almost lost the ability to resist. At the same time that the mob in front began to slam on the door, some bold guys climbed through the wall from behind. Attacked from both sides, and easily broke through the mansion in the exclamation of the servants of the Baron's Palace. A group of people rushed in, beating people on sight, and more broke into the inner courtyard and began to rummage through the cabinets to loot gold, silver, antiques and jewelry.

Even the jewelry worn by the baroness was not spared.

Finally, these Changshan Town talents were instigated not long ago, and there were still some good thoughts in their hearts. He only robbed things of value, and did not do any further evil.

"You pariahs...... How dare you be so rude! ”

The baron's two sons trembled with fright, but when they saw the mob looting their property, they couldn't help but curse. It's a pity that before he could say a few words, he was slapped out of his front teeth by a tenant who happened to pass by.

"It's really relieving, I've wanted to do this for a long time!"

The tenant grinned, his face full of undisguised anger and revenge, and the baron's family felt a chill in their hearts. Perhaps he didn't think it was enough, he looked at it for a moment, stepped forward and forcibly peeled off the silk shirts on the two of them, checked it in his hand, and touched a handful of soft materials, and then left satisfied.

Being so humiliated, several nobles of the Baron's Mansion finally realized that this world seemed to be different.
