As soon as the four of them got out, Guo Jian hurriedly bolted down the door, looked out through the crack in the door, and saw that everyone really didn't look back, but just went straight outside, so he put his mind at ease and turned his head back to the back room.

The man waited for him to come back and asked, "Gone?" ”

Guo Jian nodded, lifted the quilt on the top of the bed, turned the bed board over, knocked it on it a few times, and after a while, the wooden board below moved, and a head came out of it.

Immediately afterward, one man after another came out of it, and there were eleven or twelve.

The one at the head was the "big brother" who took the lead in breaking into the yamen the day before.

The eldest brother moved his shoulders, turned to Guo Jian and asked, "Nothing wrong?" ”

Guo Jian shook his head and said: "I think it's to deal with the past, but the limelight has been too tight recently, I went out to find a few gold and silver jewelry, and I don't dare to ask in detail, big brother, let's bury the treasury silver first, wait until this period of time, and then go back and think of a way." ”

The eldest brother nodded, and said again: "Wu Yi, the governor of Yongzhou, is dead, and when he attacks the city outside, I am afraid that there will be chaos in the city in the next two days, as long as the treasury silver is buried, don't let people find out that something is wrong, we have enough to eat, and as soon as the city of Yongzhou is broken, we can hide, don't take the lead, at most half a month, we can find an opportunity to sneak out of the city." ”

He calculated it right, and did not forget to instruct Guo Jiandao: "You go out to buy more food and come back in the past two days, and only hide in the house in a few days. ”

Seeing this, Guo Jian smiled bitterly: "Big brother, I'm afraid that Taiwei Li's place is not so easy to attack......

Everyone found their own seats to sit down, and when they heard Guo Jian say this, it was simply inexplicable, and they all looked at it with their eyes.

Guo Jian hurriedly said: "We originally thought that Wu Yi was the governor of Yongzhou City, he died, he didn't take a big one, Chen Hao in the counterinsurgency army is also a half-dead, there is a Yongzhou general judgment, a Guangnan West Road transfer envoy, and a few deputy generals of the counterinsurgency army, and various state officials, in the past, often made a lot of trouble, one is not convinced, in order to fight for power, the two factions must be a group of dragons without a leader, who would have thought that last night a few fires did not burn, and the city gate did not succeed, especially at the Yamen, I heard that there is an official surnamed Gu, It was Chen Hao who lowered his head to be the deputy envoy for transport, and he couldn't do it, but he was very ...... with a sharp mouth."

He paused, and sighed: "Sure enough, they all say that the Jin people are bad, and they say that the Yongzhou people are cowardly, how can they not stand up, yesterday there were eight or nine thousand people around the yamen, one person can drown the yamen, and the few people in it can't be stopped, if they really stop it, it's okay, they will be able to get a hundred and ten lives, and the city is in chaos, just fishing in troubled waters-who know that they actually gave him three words or two words, and sent all the people away, and I don't know what ecstasy soup I drank for those fools, Now the city is full of people who don't want to die, men have to go to the draft, women have to pay food and silk......"

As he spoke, his face was very helpless, and he only hated it: "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would never have believed it - I went to buy vegetables on the street today, and the mother-in-law who set up the stall sold ten yuan more expensive than the person next to her, and there were still a bunch of people queuing up to buy it, but she said that all the money for the vegetables sold today should be sent to the yamen to fight the enemy......

The room was dumbfounded.

Guo Jian said again: "What else does the mother-in-law say, 'Every soldier in the state is brave, everyone takes their lives to protect the city and protect the family, and there are good officials and good generals, although my mother-in-law is old, but she can't hold back, if the city is broken, no matter how much you earn, it's just a cheap barbarian, it's better to be willing to go out to defend the city, if it weren't for Xiao Gu Gouyuan's refusal to accept me, the old woman would even be willing to take her life' - this mother-in-law was still scolding on the street yesterday, saying that her nephew was taken away, and she lost her life in the battle, clamoring for Wu Yi to give an explanation, so she had a night, I don't know what I heard from outside the state office, so I seem to have changed as a person...... I think that the official surnamed Gu didn't do anything to hook the courtyard, I'm afraid that it would be a hook! ”

As he spoke, he sighed again: "Big brother, I walked around this Yongzhou City in the morning, and I was really scared...... Now there are several people in the streets, going door to door to search for people, two or three hundred steps outside, there are soldiers standing, after a quarter of an hour, there are patrol shops to patrol the city, and the curfew at night is very severe, I go to the streets to buy these many vegetables every day, in the morning someone is already asking, saying that I bring back a big basket every day, all meat and vegetables, how can it not be bad--as if they all have a third eye to look at you. ”

He said and pulled the oilcloth on the head cover of the vegetable basket in his hand, pointed to the vegetables inside, and said: "When I come back today, I meet Lizheng, and he sees that there are so many leafy vegetables in it, if I can bring it back tomorrow, he will be suspicious......

He also said: "I came back today, and I heard what was being said there, I am afraid that in two days, the city will be rationed according to the people - even if there is money, it may not be able to buy things - because I am afraid of chaos in the city, the Gouyuan surnamed Gu has already ordered, saying that it will be given a few days to let the orthodox number of people there be reported, and only according to the population registered at the yamen to sell rations, official salt, and vegetables, and not to let the city store grain indiscriminately...... If there really is that day, more than ten of us will eat with this idea, and I don't know if we can last for twenty or thirty years......"

When Guo Jian said this, everyone in the room was very helpless.

He only paused for a moment, and then said again: "We thought that Wu Yi was dead, there should be chaos in Yongzhou City, and it would only be easier for Taiwei to attack the city, and there were other people in it to do internal response, and we didn't have to come out, so we had to hide and get through this while. But now it seems that the Zhizhou surnamed Wu is dead, not only is there no chaos in the city, but it seems to be more disciplined, obviously there are not many soldiers, and the manpower is just that, and I don't know how to do it, it is ten times stricter than before, and it is more than ten or twenty times stricter than before......"

"This is already the case in the city, and I don't know what is going on in the city where it is defended...... If everyone fights to defend the city, they really wait for the reinforcements to arrive, and they repel the captain, but the city is still controlled like this, dragging on for a year or two, and the people of Yongzhou have nothing to do, we don't take the lead, we are already starving to death, and if we get caught, we will ......also die."

Guo Jian couldn't help but look to the side as he spoke, and asked, "Big brother...... What is good now, can it only be consumed like this? ”

Before the "big brother" could reply, he could hear a loud knock on the door outside, followed by Li Zheng shouting: "Da Guo! Hurry up and open the door, there is something important to look for you! ”
