Originally, the chaos in Yicheng was all the pot of the righteous army breaking the city. Now that someone has stepped forward to help share some of the burden, that's great.

As for Sun Tian, they were afraid that the situation in the city would get out of control, and asked if they would send troops to suppress it, but they were vetoed by Chen Wu, who was not worried. The county government, the city defense battalion, the grain depot and the money bank and other important places have all been controlled by him. The four gates of Yicheng also fell into the hands of the rebels, and they were closed as soon as possible, and they were not allowed to enter or exit. No matter how you look at it, the rebels are firmly sitting on the Diaoyutai platform.

However, the wonder of the world slapped him in the face ten minutes later.

Just when the teams of rebels sent out had just occupied the grain depot, someone rushed from the direction of the east city gate and brought back a message that made Chen Wu and Dian Yong furious: "The soldiers guarding the gate have quietly opened the door and released the people!" ”

Time goes back to half an hour ago, outside the door of the East City Gate.

Most of the people in Yicheng already knew that the rebels entered from the west gate. For the purpose of staying away from them, people who wanted to escape from Yicheng spontaneously gathered in front of the east gate. There are residents who bring their families with them, there are traders from nearby villages who come to Yicheng to sell vegetables and firewood, and there are also some wealthy families and landlords who are worried that their family property will be plundered and looted.

In bits and pieces, there were actually six or seven hundred people.

The person in charge of guarding the east gate was a hundred-man brigade of the Volunteer Battalion. Seeing that the number of Yicheng residents far exceeded their own, they were inevitably a little panicked and began to drive away. But no matter how the rebels of these volunteer battalions drove people, the Yicheng people gathered here just refused to leave, but kept begging.

"Okay everyone, let us leave Yicheng, please!"

"The gates will only need to be opened for a while, and we will not make it difficult for you."

"You heroes don't know which way it is? We Huang went south and north, and also got acquainted with a lot of big stalls. If you come up with a name, you may be able to sell someone Huang a face. ”

The voices of men, women, and children were like hundreds of flies flying around in their ears, which made the leaders of several volunteer battalions who were the captains of the team feel annoyed.

They received an order to close the four gates and not allow anyone to go out. Since Chen Wu and Dian Yong specially told them before, these leaders naturally did not dare to release people casually. But these inexperienced rebels are too soft to scare away these ordinary people with blood, so that they gather more and more, and finally reach the point where they dare not act rashly. What made them even more shaken was that seeing that the persuasion and pleading were ineffective, several rich families discussed it and began to lure them.

"This good man, I don't know what to call him?"

Someone took the initiative to stand up.

Seeing a richly dressed man with a jade and jade wrench in his hand asking questions, and two strong men in black following the guards, one of the captains of the volunteer battalion in charge subconsciously felt a little nervous and inferior. He coughed dryly, squeezed the bamboo gun in his hand hard, and made a look of what he thought was majestic, but unfortunately he missed timidity as soon as he opened his mouth: "My name is Chen Jinhui, what's the matter with you?" ”

Seeing the bad performance of the leader of the rebel army, the staff sneered in their hearts and became more and more contemptuous. He was originally a little curious about this group of anti-thieves who could quietly break through Yicheng, but now he has concluded that this group of anti-thieves is insignificant. However, the outsider's face still looked kind, and he said slowly: "Brother Chen, the task assigned above is to be completed, but you people in charge of affairs also have to think more about yourself." As long as you are willing to let us out secretly, we can scrape together some private money for you. You have benefited, and we will go out of the city in harmony, everyone is good. ”

Without waiting for Chen Jinhui to refuse, he directly offered the price: "Let one person out, one gold coin, how about it?" There are tens of thousands of people in Yicheng, and there are ten or eight less inconspicuous, who knows? ”

"You work hard and work weekdays, and you can only earn a few broken dollars a day? I'm afraid I won't be able to eat enough. Now as long as you let one out, you will have a gold coin to earn. Such a good thing will never be again after today! ”

The voice outside the staff seemed to carry an irresistible temptation, and it moved Chen Jinhui and several other leaders of the volunteer battalion.

They muttered for a few seconds, but they didn't immediately refuse.

Seeing this scene, the old man was still unclear, and with one mouth, he doubled the price he had just opened.

Chen Jinhui hesitated for a moment and nodded slightly.

Secretly let a few people out, as long as the people above know about the city gate before re-shutting it, it shouldn't be a big deal, right?

Seeing that several wealthy families had begun to collect money, and Huang Chengcheng's gold coins exuded an alluring light, Chen Jinhui did not hesitate any longer, and immediately ordered his subordinates to open the side door and prepare to let people out. This order, which clearly contradicted Chen Wu's demands, caused a commotion among the rebels. But firstly, these rebels did not know enough about the strictness of the matter, and secondly, they would definitely be able to get a share of the money, and no one stood up to oppose it in person.

Only Ning Gui, a member of the horse team who had never spoken in the corner of the East City Gate, frowned and questioned, "Is this inappropriate......?"

Ning Gui is the younger brother of Ning An, the leader of the horse team, and the names of the two are very interesting, one is Ping'an, and the other is rich. The reason why he was here was because Chen Wu deliberately arranged a ride for each of them in order to facilitate the contact between the four gates.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing Ning Gui contradicting him, Chen Jinhui's face suddenly became a little unswerving.

Seeing that the originally kind old man had a little more calm in his eyes, and no one from the other rebels echoed him, Ning Gui instinctively felt the danger. He argued: "This is not in accordance with the general's order, if you blame it......"

Along the way, Chen Wu and Dian Yong killed the rebel soldiers who dared to flee several times. Thinking of the ruthlessness of the two, Chen Jinhui was also a little weak in his heart, but after hesitating for a moment, he still patted his chest and said: "There are so many people in a city, what is a few less?" If something really happens, I'll be in charge of Chen Jinhui. ”

"A good man, this is responsible!"

The old man secretly breathed a sigh of relief, quietly stopped the bodyguard behind him who was about to do it, praised Chen Jinhui with a smile, took off the jade and jade wrench in his hand, and stuffed it to him: "I am honored...... I like to make friends with good men like you. This time I came out in a hurry, and I didn't bring anything else with me, so this wrench was given to Xiaoyou as a gift. ”

Jade jade wrench!

Even though Chen Jinhui has never seen this kind of high-end goods, he can still feel the delicate and smooth of this wrench, which is definitely a priceless treasure.

"Thank you, old man." There was a little more greed in his eyes, he rubbed his fingers for a moment, let out a satisfied laugh, and then urged his subordinates: "What are you still stunned for?" Hurry up and open the door. ”

Just a moment later, the side doors of the East Gate slowly opened with a creaking sound.

Seeing this, the people who had been waiting here since the afternoon became impulsive and rushed forward, trying to get out of the city before it was completely dark. Chen Jinhui hurriedly ordered his subordinates to take bamboo guns to top them, suppress them, and collect money before releasing them. It's just that in the face of the momentum of hundreds of people, Chen Jinhui's men couldn't stop it for a while, and fell into chaos.

Ning Gui took advantage of this time to secretly lead the horse away from the crowd, and then galloped all the way to the county government to report the news.

"How dare you...... I'm really impatient! ”

In "Empire", Chen Wu has seen a lot of the rabble of the so-called rebel army, and he also knows enough about their unbounded literacy, but he is still furious after receiving Ning Gui's report. While gently encouraging Ning Gui and signaling him to do a good job, he immediately called someone, took almost all the remaining infantry troops in the county office, and rushed towards the east city gate after lining up.

Almost a quarter of an hour later, it was getting dark.

Chen Wu led the infantry army and arrived near the East City Gate at full speed. Although it was less than an hour since Chen Jinhui opened the city gate privately, many people in Yicheng who were close to Dongcheng District had already received the news and rushed to this side. As for the people who left the gate of Guò, there were as many as two or three hundred before and after -- compared with the impoverished Changshan Town, the family situation of the people of Yicheng was somewhat better. In order to avoid the military disaster, many people endured the pain of the flesh and gave out this money.

Seeing the endless stream of people leaving, and the commotion caused by those who had no money to leave the city was getting bigger and bigger, Chen Jinhui began to panic a little.

It's nothing to let go of ten or eight, but if you release hundreds of them in one go, it's hard to say what the consequences will be.
