Huang Stool had already figured out what was going on.

He, no, they met bandits.

They shouldn't have hurried at night, for it was not safe to walk during the day, and when they reached a wilderness in the dark, a herd of men and horses rushed out and surrounded them.

He didn't know whether it was luck or misfortune, as soon as he saw the other party screaming and rushing in with wooden sticks, knives and guns, he was hit in the head by a thrown stone, and fainted before the sophisticated weapons and martial arts of his body could be displayed.

The bandits are not as decent as they were in the past, and stones can be used as weapons.

When he woke up, he was locked up in this cave.

It was supposed to be a cave, and he was blindfolded, and he could feel the touch of the cave around him, the warm campfire, and the sound of the bandits laughing and cursing outside.

He didn't know how long he had been locked up, he didn't know the day or night, and from the time he woke up, he guessed that he should have eaten one meal a day, so it should have been three days.

From the conversation of the bandits, it is surmised that everyone else is dead, only he fainted and died before and did not resist or be injured, he survived, and the bandits did not kill him, because the bandits wanted manpower to dig the cave.

Robbing them, the bandits also seem to regret it.

"It doesn't look like there are many people, how can you fight like this."

"We hurt a lot, and the other party is dead, so it's really worth the loss."

"This half-dead man is left and doesn't look like he can work, why are we keeping him."

Outside, with the smoke and fire, there was a burst of heat and a cold wind, and then someone rushed in with chaotic footsteps, and although the yellow stool could not see anything, it could smell blood, it was a blood-stained knife.

He had smelled, of course, that the knife was stained with someone else's blood.

"Don't kill me, don't kill me." He hurriedly shouted, because he could only eat one meal a day, and his voice was weak, "I'm still useful, I'm still useful." ”

The bandit standing in front of him with a knife snorted: "What's the use of you, your injuries are too serious, and you are a waste if you survive." ”

The yellow stool could feel his injury, it seemed to be concave on his head, he tested it on the ground with his head, it hurt, and there was blood gushing out, the bleeding didn't stop for so long, it can be seen that these bandits didn't treat him either, if he goes on like this, he can really only die.

But he's not dead yet.

"Uncle, uncle! Don't kill me! The yellow stool exclaimed, "I'm a bandit!" ”

The rusty sword wind stopped behind his neck.

"Nonsense, what kind of bandit are you, how can there be bandits like you, you are obviously rich." The bandits were angry.

Huang Stool didn't dare to gasp: "I'm a bandit, I am, you guys, do you know Gwangju Mansion?" Do you know that Yangcun, Gangwon County, Gwangju Prefecture has just been robbed? Me, that's me, we did it! ”

The man in front of him seemed to be thinking, then turned and walked out, and there was a sound of inquiries and discussions outside.

I don't know where this is, this bandit doesn't seem to know about the Liangcun disaster, but it doesn't matter that no one in the world doesn't know Gwangju Mansion, as long as you ask, you can find out.....

Sure enough, it didn't take long for the footsteps to come in again, and there were a few more, and the fishy knife was placed directly on his neck.

"You're such a bandit! I can't stay anymore. The previous bandit shouted.

Of course, Huang Stool was not frightened by the bandits' righteousness, and directly put on a temptation: "I can take you to Gwangju Mansion, Gwangju Mansion, rich, any village has money and food." ”

Everyone knows that Gwangju is rich, but there are also strong soldiers and horses, and these bandits and horse thieves can't get in, so they can only covet and retreat, but the temptation of money and food is too great, especially now in winter.....

"You, you're not as good as the beggars in Gwangju now." Huang Stool shouted again, "I can take you in, I'm from Gwangju." ”

The knife placed on the neck is gently sharpened, in the struggle in hesitation ....

"I, my master, am a powerful person in Gwangju Mansion." Huang Stool gritted his teeth and said.

The bandits also shouted.

"Aren't you a bandit? How can bandits still have masters? ”

"Awesome people? Wouldn't it be death for us to go? ”

"Kill him! It's a liar! ”

Huang felt his neck sink, the knife cut into the flesh, and he screamed: "My master's surname is Huang!" Gwangju Hwang! My master needs bandits now! He's going to value you! ”

The knife was pulled out of the flesh, and a hand lifted the cover from his head, and the light was blinding, and the noise dissipated in an instant.

The yellow stool lay on the ground and tried to open a crack, and saw a tall man in a soldier's robe in the dazzling light.

"This is Gwangju Mansion, you can take us to meet your master." He said lightly.

What do you mean? The yellow stool's eyes adjusted to the light, and then he saw that he was not in a cave, but in a room arranged like a cave, and the bandits in the room had untied their ragged jackets, revealing their robes.....

Huang Stool's eyes looked at the door, and he saw his companion, as well as Tao Ran.

They were all tied to the ground, their mouths gagged, and everyone looked at him, some in despair, some in horror, and some in tears.

Finished.....

Huang Stool's eyes darkened and he fainted, he couldn't believe what was happening.

Mrs. Huang couldn't believe what had happened, and he was talking and laughing with his family about the current situation.

The situation is encouraging.

Panic among the people of Gwangju continues, and the speed and content of the rumors spread even better than they expected.

The Tian family's Liao family arrived at Xuanwu Dao, which made the people over there also start to speculate in horror, and rumors began to spread.

The most important thing is that the soldiers and horses of Xuanwudao.

"There are many places in Xuanwudao that are occupied by the Zhenwu army, but there are still many places that do not belong to the Zhenwu army, if they are unscrupulous against the Tian family and the Liao family, they will inevitably be counterattacked by other soldiers and horses" A doorman pointed to the map hanging on the screen, and smiled, "Presumably many soldiers and horses are also looking forward to this scene." ”

"The old lady chose a good place for Liao's family." Another doorman praised, "Young Lady Wu has the intention to control the hegemony of the Zhenwu Army, and other soldiers and horses can naturally have this intention." ”

They all want to use military hegemony, so naturally they will not be single-minded.

An old man of the Huang family picked up the tea and snorted: "If you can't chew it if you are greedy, let the place where the Zhenwu Army is located be in chaos." ”

"There are still people in the city who are coming to deliver food." Another old man said with a smile, "It is claimed that the government has bought enough grain, but in the end, it is just a grain cart, which swaggers in the city and enters the official treasury, and then comes out through the back door, and then continues through the city, creating the illusion that the grain carts are endless." ”

"I asked a few people to pretend to be very hungry, and rushed up to grab the food, and cut through the grain packs." One of them laughed, "Guess what?" There was just some grass in the bread packet. ”

The people in the room laughed, is this kind of trick to coax the child?

"The people in the government are really thick-skinned, saying that this is forage for horses." The man continued, sneering and laughing, "It would be even more frightening to say that not only the people of Gwangju can be fed, but also the horses, but they don't know it." ”

Laughter in the room is noisy.

Old lady Huang put down the teacup in his hand and interrupted, he didn't take pleasure in appreciating the opponent's struggle before he died, he just wanted to see the opponent's death.

"Where have you moved now?" He asked.

"Within the jurisdiction of Gwangju Prefecture, Jiang Han's family is moving." A doorman replied.

Old lady Huang frowned: "No, why is it less?" ”

The doorman said: "The Wu family, the Lin family, and the Sun family, said that they would move later if there was something." ”

"What's the matter?" Old lady Huang sat up straight, "Why didn't anyone tell me?" ”

"That's the case, I told my father last time that Mrs. Wu's doorman came to the Wu family to be arrogant, and the old lady Wu was angry." An old man hurriedly explained, "Later, the Wu family said that the old lady Wu was old, and he was afraid that he would not be able to hold on to the road, so he would raise it at home first. ”

Old lady Huang was very strange: "Isn't it better if you can't hold on?" was forced to leave his hometown and die on the road, Mrs. Wu is fighting for fame for his children and grandchildren. Are the Wu family stupid? ”

With that, he slapped the table.

"Go, call the people of the Wu family, and I'll tell them."

The people in the house were just about to respond, when there was a muffled thunder in the distance, and the ground under their feet shook slightly.

It's not an earthquake, it's a lot of footsteps.

What's going on?

Someone stumbled in from the outside and knelt down.

"Lady Wu! Mrs. Wu! Came to our house with soldiers and horses. ”

.....

.....

Soldiers and horses pass through the gates on all sides of Gwangju Mansion.

They wore armor, held swords and spears, and carried shields, and walked in three columns on the streets of Gwangju Prefecture, with neat steps and strict formations, one column of fifteen people, three columns of forty-five people, but the neat footsteps were like one person's issuance, three columns of one person, one team and one team of one person.

The entire Gwangju province shook.

The hearts of the people who were hiding in the alleys of their homes and windows were shaking, and their expressions of horror were even more frightened.

They have seen this kind of scene, when the Zhenwu army sent troops to defend the city and went to fight the rebels, they stood outside the city gate, watching the teams of soldiers and horses marching through the formation, which was exciting to watch.

But now these formations are not going out of the city, but inside the city, what are they going to do?

Are the knives and guns finally not aimed at the rebel bandits, but at the people?

Everyone thought of the recent private legend that the Gwangju government had no money or food, and that the government and soldiers and horses had raised so many people and attracted so many displaced people to come, in fact, in order to treat the people as cattle and sheep, and eat them when there was no food.

Of course, the adults did not believe it, but as the children cried day and night, the people of the city kept fleeing, all the shops were closed, and the hearts of the adults began to waver.

The families all fled, and no matter how they asked, they didn't say why.

The family was rich and powerful, and the government let them go.

And these ordinary people have no money and no power, so what use do they have for other than working for the government?

Then there was a poem among the adults, which talked about the melee of the dynasties before Bactria and the fierce generals called the people two-legged sheep.

Yes, there have been many things in history, and they have long forgotten that they lived in the prosperous times, thinking that those were ridiculous things, but in troubled times, everything is absurd!

What should adults and children do when they hug each other and cry together during the day and at night?

Someone angrily suggested in private that since the government and soldiers wanted to harm them, they would have to resist, and waiting for death was also death, so it was better to fight hard.

They are unarmed, the world is in chaos, and the rebels are rampant, but there is still an emperor in Great Xia, and Great Xia is still there, if there is trouble, the emperor will save them.

This is the only way to live.

Hesitation, excitement, madness, and countless dark currents flowed among the people, but nothing had happened yet, and the Zhenwu army had entered the city!

What to do? Do you fight now or wait to die? The people of Gwangju were terrified and desperate.

But with the formation of soldiers, there were familiar shouts of officials and messengers on the street, but today's shouting was not about how to be careful about the weather, and it was forbidden to fight cattle and horses in the candle market, and cattle and horses were not allowed to run around, and feces were not disposed of, and a fine of 300 yuan was ......

"Gwangju Prefecture captures the traitors, and soldiers and horses enter the city."

"The people are forbidden to riot and not to collide, otherwise they will be punished as bandits."

The horseshoe galloped through the streets and alleys, and these two sentences were repeated repeatedly.

When he saw that only words broke through the door and window, and the soldiers and horses did not rush in, the people behind the door and window were bolder.

Someone opened the door, someone leaned out of the window, and someone came out.

The group of soldiers and horses who walked by ignored them, and the galloping official only repeated the words on the horse, and warned: "Don't run around and shout." ”

Is that all? The people couldn't help but ask: "The rebels have entered the city?" ”

The official looked at them: "It's not going into the city, it's always in the city." ”

The people were in an uproar, sure enough, there were rebels, the Gwangju Mansion was about to end, and the reason why the families fled was finally confirmed, and the chaotic shouting was suppressed by the officials before they started.

"It's a traitor, not a rebel!"

"No noise!"

"The traitor has been controlled, and Young Lady Wu will personally arrest him!"

"Irrelevant people are not allowed to spread rumors, they are not allowed to riot, and violators will be punished as traitors and fellow parties!"

In the shouts of the officials, especially the traitors have been controlled, and the young lady Wu personally arrested this sentence, the commotion of the crowd gradually quieted down, and saw a group of officers and soldiers passing through the street, and did not kill them, while in other places there were people probeing, and then tentatively walked in the direction of the officers and soldiers.

The officers and men turned a blind eye and only ran quickly, and the officers and errands did not stop, thinking of the previous shouting, they really only asked for no rumors and no riots, and did not say that everyone should close their doors and lock their homes and prohibit walking and gathering on the streets.

As a result, more and more people walked out of their homes and across the streets, chasing in the direction of the officers and soldiers.

The Huang family's house has been surrounded by officers and soldiers, and in a cold field of weapons, the woman wearing white clothes on a horse is particularly eye-catching.

Sparkling in the sun, with a slender neck and a perfect waist, only a god can carve out.

But the men in front of the Huang family looked at this woman and didn't feel the slightest immortal aura, only the ghost aura of death.

Huang Ah Xiao let out a loud laugh.

"It's really nonsense, how can my Huang clan be a traitor?"

"Wu Clan, you are framing and planting."

"Under this Lang Lang, do you want to spew blood and kill civilians in the Wu clan?"

Mrs. Wu did not answer him, and it was Yuan Ji who was standing in front of him who answered him.

"You instigated 26 families in 13 counties under the jurisdiction of the Gwangju government to move out of the Gwangju government." He said, waving his hand, "Bring witnesses." ”

Seven of the soldiers and horses came out, and when they saw these people, the people were in a commotion, and these were familiar to everyone.

Huang Axiao sneered and called out their names one by one: "I thought that your father, your mother, your ancestors were really sick and dying, and they could still go out." ”

Some of the seven people looked ashamed and dodged their eyes, while others walked out in one step and had no turning back, and their faces were calm.

One person ignored Huang Axiao's taunt, raised his hand to the Huang family's side, and then turned to the side of Mrs. Wu's soldiers and horses, and the people: "We were convened by the Huang family and then discussed and decided to move out of Gwangju Mansion." ”

He opened his mouth, and the others no longer dodged and came out, where to discuss, how many times they discussed, who was here, what was the order of moving out, and how many people could go at one time to make the people even more panicked.

In the midst of their narration, the people listened to the noise from time to time, shocked and unbelievable.

Huang and the others looked calm, or indifferent, or sneered disdainfully.

"I'll be done." After the seven finished speaking, they saluted everyone again, raised their sleeves to hide their faces, "We are guilty." ”

Huang Axiao smiled and raised his sleeves at them: "It's not finished yet, why don't you tell us why we are discussing this?" ”

The figures of these seven stiffened slightly, and they covered their faces with their sleeves, as if they would never show their faces in their lives in shame, let alone hear Huang Axiao's words.

Huang Axiao didn't ask them again, and also saluted Mrs. Wu and the people: "That's right, this is called by my family, as for why, it was because Mrs. Wu asked for money, grain and land, and forced us to leave." ”

Huang Axiao summoned out of the account room, and a long account book was unfolded at the door of the account room, writing how much money and how much grain He Yue paid, and there was also a receipt with the big red seal of the government, which was clear and clear.

"Aren't all of you like that?" Huang Axiao looked at the seven people who were hiding their faces again, "I instigated you? If it weren't for the fact that you couldn't survive and I let you go, would you really dare to go? ”

The crowd was in an uproar again, and the seven hid their faces even deeper.

"What's wrong with the government taking your money and food?" Yuan Ji said lightly, "Who will ensure that you will have no worries about food and clothing in Gwangju Mansion, eat, drink, and be rich and prosperous, enjoy the red leaves in autumn and snow in winter, and invite you to a three-day banquet and a five-day tour of the garden?" It is the government and the officers and soldiers, and the businessmen have to pay for the officers and soldiers of the government to protect the peace, so why shouldn't you pay? ”

The uproar of the people stopped, yes, what's wrong with that? It should be.

"The people had no money or food, so they came to work." Yuan Ji said, "If you don't want to pay for food, you can also work, if you don't want to pay for food and don't want to work, and you want to enjoy happiness and pleasure in Gwangju Prefecture, that's not good." ”

Huang Axiao's face was a little annoyed, he forgot that there were people on the other side now, although these people could be controlled by the family, but they were actually not with them.

This argument does not work in front of the population.

Without waiting for him to speak again, Yuanji no longer asked about this.

"It doesn't matter if you incite the family, you can leave if you want to, but you are still spreading rumors in the city to confuse the people." He said, waving his hand.

Then some officers and soldiers pushed more than a dozen people out, these people were either men, or homeless people, or businessmen, all of them were tied up, and they knelt down and told their identities and origins, and then said that they had received a lot of money from the Huang family, and what rumors they had told where and when they had spoken, and even anyone present at that time could say one or two.

And one or two people happened to be watching the excitement, and they were surprised to testify that they were what he said in the first place, what two-legged sheep, what rebels called, the well water dried up, and so on.

Thinking that the news that kept him awake at night turned out to be fake, the people let out a noisy and angry scolding.

Huang Axiao didn't move at all in the scolding, his expression was calm and arrogant: "There is no evidence, saying that we arranged people to spread rumors, why can't you arrange for them to frame them?" ”

This kind of thing is all a lawsuit of tongue, but you say what I say, what everyone says, what are you afraid of.

Yuan Ji did not argue with him, but said: "Rumors are killing people with tongues, and in addition, you are also pretending to be thieves and killing people with knives." ”

He waved his hand again.

"Bring the robbers and murderers of Liangcun Village."

Huang Axiao's expression changed slightly, and he saw a group of people being brought up, led by more than a dozen guards dressed as tied up and escorted, and behind him were more than a dozen children, large and small.

"You know these men." Motoyoshi Road.

The officers and soldiers pulled the hair of the dozen or so people who were tied up and showed their faces in front of them.

The crowd surged, and a moment later there was shouting one after another, shouting that I recognize, calling people's names.

The people of the Huang clan standing in front of the door couldn't hide their horror, hadn't these people already left by escorting Tao Ran? Actually caught? What about Tao Ran? No, no, the most important thing is that these guards are the people of the Huang family, who have been in the Huang family in Gwangju for decades, and they have parents, relatives and friends, and friends..... Someone will always recognize them!

And when the dozen or so people were dragged to reveal their faces, some of the dozen or so children, who were either trembling or looking sluggish, suddenly became excited, shouted and rushed over, and began to wave at the dozen or so people.

"It's him!"

"He killed my mother! I still remember him! ”

Some shouted out, while others only cried, crying to make the heavens and the earth instantly quiet.

Onlookers don't have to ask to know who they are.

At the moment of death, it is the children who are protected by their parents and relatives.

There are more than 100 people in Liangcun, and now there are only a dozen people left.

I don't know how they spent that moment of despair and grief, imprinted the tragic death of their loved ones and the appearance of the murderer in their hearts.

The descendants of the Huang family turned out to be bandits who robbed and killed Liangcun, what does this mean?

The people did not question or discuss, all eyes were on this side, and the silence was more terrible than the noise.

"These guards were arranged by your Huang clan to pretend to be bandits and ransack Liangcun." Yuan Ji said, "They have confessed to the painting, and now we are going to ask you for the crime." ”

Having thought about the worst-case scenario in everything, the men in front of the Huang family regained their composure after a brief moment of panic.

"How do you know it's not your trick!" A man stood up and shouted, his expression angry.

"This is the guard of my Huang family escorting my relatives to Beijing, and you actually robbed and killed them." Another man shouted, stepping forward, "You guys are fighting the soldiers and horses in your hands, fabricating evidence and spewing blood to frame me Huang." ”

Huang Axiao Gongzi put his sleeves behind him, neither anxious nor angry, and only said lightly: "There is no official mansion and no order from the imperial court, you don't want to enter the door of my house." ”

As soon as his words fell, a fairy sound fell from the sky, and the young lady Wu, who had been quiet and silent, finally spoke.

Without questioning or accusing, she looked at the door of the Huang family and only said, "Take people." ”

As soon as she gave the order, a platoon of soldiers standing at the front rushed towards the gate.

"You dare!"

Several people from the Huang family shouted angrily, and two men rushed up and waved their hands.

"If you want to enter the door, pass by us!"

Before they could finish speaking, they met the rushing soldiers, and with a snort, their spears pierced their chests.

Angry shouts turned into screams.

The screams did not stop, and with a pop, the spear was drawn from their chests, blood gushing out, and at the same time one foot stepped on them, cutting off their last screams, and stepping on their soft bodies.

Stepped on.

Not stepping on the body.

It's stepping on a corpse.

Huang Axiao, who was standing one step behind the two people, turned pale in an instant, and the blood, the corpse, had already arrived at the blood-stained spear in front of him.....

He let out a scream and stepped back.

The people on the street finally came to their senses at this point and screamed.

The prefect, who rushed over with the officials, happened to see this scene, his body went limp, and his voice let out a hoarse shout.

Kill, kill!

Mrs. Wu, you have killed!
