I thought that everything was under control, but suddenly the situation was unexpected, and Zhu Changjue's people were also a little chaotic.

Originally, Zhu Changjue was all over Jingxi, not counting the ships, and the light and dark soldiers deployed tens of thousands of people.

Today, 4,000 people have rushed to Lishui during the day, and there are still about 6,000 people left in Jingxi at this moment. And here, it's really not a one-man leader.

There are factions that followed Zhu Changjue out of the capital, and there are also local people who later defected to Zhu Changjue, and there are even guys who were originally pirates represented by Shi Ping.

The more factions there are, the more they seek and what they value, and naturally they are different.

For example, Shi Ping, at the moment, no longer cares about King Zhe, he just thinks about eating Cheng Ziyu alive to be comfortable.

After the Chengfu Rebellion began, Zhu Changjue's people didn't know whether those black-clothed people were friends or enemies, so they naturally didn't dare to act rashly. Their first instinct was to find out where the man in black came from and what he was trying to do.

Several major leaders hurriedly converged and checked themselves, only to find out after a quarter of an hour that the man in black was not all the way with them.

So, what do they do?

Do you keep staring? Or go in and fight? Who are you helping to fight?

If Cheng Ziyu dies, will King Zhe be more difficult to find?

Therefore, Cheng Ziyu can't die. Then you can't protect Cheng Ziyu, right?

After such a convergence and hesitation, they found that the initiative of the situation was no longer in their hands.

The fire and momentum were so great that the gate of the official mansion was slammed for the first time, and the officers and soldiers of the local yamen were coming in batches.

Seeing the officers and soldiers rushing to the palace as soon as possible, this was the last thing Zhu Changjue's people wanted to see.

Previously, due to Zhu Changjue's defection, the emperor was furious, thoroughly investigated and removed Wei Zhixian from his position. After that, the magistrate of Jingxi Yamen was personally appointed by the emperor. And with the reason of "assisting the imperial merchants to serve the imperial court", not only gave Jingxi Yamen a lot of authority, but also expanded the number of officers and soldiers to three times.

It is also because of this that although Zhu Changjue's people secretly spread Jingxi, they did not want to appear head-on at all. The scene of Xuzhou being chased and beaten by officers and soldiers is vivid, although it is impossible to suffer that loss at this moment, but more is better than less, they chose not to move, so they have been avoiding.

If they really want to do it, they have to wait to confirm the purpose of Cheng Ziyu's trip or Zhu Changzhe's appearance.

However, at this moment, as soon as the officers and soldiers arrived, it seemed that it was even more inconvenient for them to appear.

And here they haven't made a decision yet, and in a blink of an eye, they see that after the officers and soldiers entered Cheng's house to clean up the mess, a large number of people who came from all over the world have squeezed Cheng's house inside and out......

The popularity of the Cheng family was suddenly revealed.

Yes!

As the industry boss of the entire region, the Cheng family has not only driven the industry in the entire Jingxi area for many years, but also the object of most industrial and commercial households.

The Cheng family went from craftsmen to workers to helpers to apprentices to porters to peddlers to inside and outside the shops, and there were tens of thousands of Jingxi people who were directly involved in the entire industry.

Not to mention the Jingxi people who have cooperation, help, and interests.

Speaking in detail, in the entire Jingxi, there are at least one or two families in ten families who can have some more or less relationship with the Cheng family.

Especially this year, the Cheng family has not had enough manpower, and has allocated a lot of transactions to other large and small craftsmen and merchants.

In addition, since the Cheng family started last year, Dafang announced a number of pottery recipes, brought Jingxi people to earn silver together, and vigorously promoted the pottery market, and tried to use the reputation of the Cheng family to bring a large number of merchants. Whether it's a big family or a small family, which one doesn't directly or indirectly accept their cute yin care?

Then there are paving bridges and roads, establishing a post station fleet, and donating silver to build a city, these real efforts and selflessness are all in the eyes of Jingxi people and are grateful.

When the Zhuangzi on the mountain of the Cheng family was on fire, so many people died, and how many people were heartbroken, and today I saw that the last bit of blood of the Cheng family could not be saved! The Cheng family's last house still has to be burned down?

Many people can't accept it emotionally and emotionally!

Even in terms of interests, many people are well aware. Cheng Ziyu is the inheritor of Chengjia pottery, and it is one of the biggest golden signs in the pottery industry at present. If the Cheng family falls, and if Cheng Ziyu dies, then Jingxi Tao will be hit hard. At that time, they will be the first to be affected.

On the contrary, as long as Cheng Ziyu does not die, then the Cheng family will always stand up. With the emperor's grace, they are still imperial businessmen, with the queen mother, the Cheng family is still favored, and with Li Chun, they will definitely help start from scratch. In the meantime, Jingxi will only be better.

Therefore, whether it is emotional, rational or beneficial, many people are willing to stand up and help.

So after the officers and soldiers rushed into Cheng's house, more and more people also took advantage of the chaos to enter Cheng's house.

Their purpose is not clear, but it is simple: to fight the bad guys! Chase away the bad guys! Protect Cheng Ziyu! Keep the Cheng family! Keep this mansion!

The cries in Chengfu shook the sky, and the movement was too loud, even giving people the illusion that the mountains were shaking.

Zhu Changjue's people were stunned again.

Neither advance nor retreat!

They still can't figure out who the man in black is?

After discussing it, the leaders decided to do only one thing: gather around and wait and see!

Anyway, if you can run, the monk can't run the temple!

Anyway, Cheng Ziyu is fine, and she can't escape. Keep watching......

Cheng Ziyu of the Cheng Mansion was actually dumbfounded.

The man in black was dressed as a guard, and the fight between the officers and soldiers in the house and the man in black was acted, and the fire was also set by her......

Ziyixuan is the place where she grew up, full of memories, everywhere there is hard work, she is distressed, naturally reluctant. But only a fire placed in Ziyi Xuan has the best effect.

In order to minimize the damage, she prepared during the day, and all she could burn was an area. If nothing else, even Ziyixuan's own workshop can't be burned, not to mention that they have specially done fireproof treatment on the courtyard wall......

Even the valuable items in Ziyi Xuan were taken away by her and locked up by the officers and soldiers. Therefore, the fire looks fierce, but if you really talk about the loss, it is really not much.

She just wanted to make as much trouble as possible.

Now that she has gone down to Jiangnan and returned to Cheng's house, this matter naturally cannot only be known to Zhu Changjue.

Now that Kang Anbo has gone ashore and the officers and soldiers are increasing their control over Jiangnan, she naturally wants everyone to know that she is coming.

So she exposed herself and made a big fuss. In this way, even if Li Chun and Zhu Changzhe scattered the Ming soldiers and secret guards in the south of the Yangtze River, and the officers and soldiers who patrolled the towns there and the surrounding towns, they would come to help if they wanted to.

Of course, in addition to making trouble, this fire is also to remind the Queen Mother more than ten miles away: You can do it.

She made such a big fuss, Zhu Changjue's people would naturally gather over. Taihu Lake should be safe at the moment, right?

However, she originally planned to let the local government come forward first.

So no matter whether she delays or flees in the future, the number of guards is large and the chaos is big, which is always beneficial to her.

However, at this moment, there are so many familiar faces rushing into the process...... Some of them were holding sticks and brooms, some were carrying pots and buckets, and they all scolded and scolded angrily with indignant faces, they did not come to take advantage of the fire to rob or fall into the well, but to help the Cheng family protect each other......

Such a scene made her eyes hot, and her heart was almost like boiling water, and then boiled.

In particular, she also saw a group of people rushing to the front, who had held a pottery fighting meeting with her, and He Yong, the son of the second He family in Jingxi, who actually brought half a hundred He family guards to rush over.

They went straight to Ziyi Xuan, and in the face of the fire, He Yong asked people to quickly fetch water and prepare to drench themselves, and they were about to rush to Ziyi Xuan when they planned to take the lead......

Cheng Ziyu hurriedly asked the officers and soldiers to stop it, and announced to all the impulsive people that there was no one in Ziyi Xuan.

He Yong began to command the He family's guards to go out to kill the man in black, and Cheng Ziyu hurriedly asked people to announce that all the men in black had been arrested and had been taken down by the officers and soldiers for strict trial......

He Yong was taken to the Cheng family's workshop, where the officers and soldiers were borrowed.

A row of inconspicuous rooms pushed the door in, and saw Cheng Ziyu bowing deeply to him.

"Are you alright? You say you're so bold? In this situation, just go to Jiangnan so rashly? Come here, you know that something happened to the Cheng family, how dare you come in? If you had delivered me a letter earlier, would I have not protected you? Then nothing will happen to the Cheng family, and you won't let anyone find out! Originally, I could have secretly hidden you from the He family, but now it's okay, what do you say you should do? There are a hundred and twenty guards in my house, and I brought half of them. It's all up to you. They are also trained, and they should not be much worse than officers and soldiers. You keep them with me first, I'll ......"

He Yong didn't even say hello when he came up, so he gave a lesson.

Cheng Ziyu laughed. The future head of the He family has also grown up. Not only is he alone, but he also has a responsibility, and when he hosted the Doutao Conference that day, his mouth and logic were not so slippery!

In the face of this concern, she could only respond again and again and keep saluting.

Over there, He Yong gradually felt impulsive, and his face turned red.

His words seem to be excessive, and if he really cares, he will be confused. It's not a close friend, how can you not see each other for a year, and be so rude? He Yong glanced at her secretly, and his face became even hotter.

Cheng Ziyu also noticed his awkwardness, and suddenly remembered that that day, Mrs. He also mentioned to Mrs. He that she and He Yong would be a pair......

"Can you do me a favor?" She hurried to break the embarrassment.

"You say."

"I don't want your guards. You stay in the He family! It's not been peaceful lately, and the He family is also worried, right? ”

"Then you want to ......"

"Gunpowder, is there any?"

He Yong glared at her suddenly.

"Can you not?" Is it okay that his family also has a big workshop? Recently, the fortifications have been shut down, and gunpowder is piled up! "But what are you going to do?" Is it a prohibited product......

"Everyone in the world knows that I am locked up in the cold palace, but I can hide people's eyes and ears and go south, which is naturally agreed by the emperor. Don't worry, if something happens, I'll be alone. You just have to say that it was my Cheng family. ”

"Good. I'll get it for you. How much? ”

"As much as you can."

"Okay."

"Then you hurry up and prepare. Take advantage of the chaos in the Cheng family, and no one will notice your family. ”

"But the Cheng family is like this, how can I send it in?"

"No, don't send it here, I want you to transport the things to your Taihu Lake Courtyard first."

"You mean, later you'll ...... Will you go too? "Jingxi is bordered by Taihu Lake, and several plots of land with the best scenery were bought by several local big families in the early years. Next to the Cheng family's courtyard is the He family's courtyard.

"Yes. I'll go over. When the time comes, there will be two walls apart, and I will think of someone to go to your house to get it. ”

"Alright, I'll go."

"Be careful."

"It's you who have to be careful. The Cheng family still depends on you, so you have to live. ”

He Yong walked away quickly, walked a few steps and turned back to:

"If you need anything, just call me. Since you go to Taihu Lake, then I will go there and wait for you first. Also, in fact, before you came back, several leading families of our Jingxi Pottery Chamber of Commerce reached a consensus. Jingxi is what we want to guard, so the Cheng family is also what we want to protect! It's not just my family who is here today, they're all here too. The Cheng family's efforts are obvious to all, and if the Cheng family is in trouble, everyone will help. ”

"Yes. Thank you all for helping me. ”

"Wait until you thank yourself later." He Yong smiled and turned to leave.

He just wondered, if she hadn't come, who would she have asked to borrow gunpowder? And what kind of borrowing? What to do with gunpowder? What to fry? Last time, her village on the mountain was bombed, and this time it ...... If you want to blow up the other courtyard, can't you?

To say, she was lucky. It was after her Zhuangzi was bombed that time that everyone was a little taboo about gunpowder. Therefore, the gunpowder of all families in Jingxi was centrally placed. Oh, as the head of the Chamber of Commerce, the He family is in charge. The keys are in his possession. The storage point is also in the sparsely populated suburbs. ...... from Taihu Lake Not far away......

Tsk, He Yong couldn't help but slander, was she lucky, or did she have a plan? ……

As soon as He Yong's front foot left, the commander of the armor guard arrived.

"I was just looking for you."

"The subordinates said first: Taihu Lake is there, it's done!"

Some of the dead soldiers of the guards scattered before they landed as locals. There are fishing boats, and there are also small boats scattered near Taihu Lake, and they have been observing the two boats where the Queen Mother is.

"It went well! Received the Zhewang! The two boats are leaving the waters of Jingxi and heading from Taihu Lake to ......"

It did go well.

The Queen Mother's boat arrived near Jingxi last night. They noticed that the nearby waters were not right, so they pretended to be passing by and waited for the night. As a result, since this morning, it has been found that the number of boats in the waters of Taihu Lake and Jingxi is decreasing at a visible rate.

Knowing that Cheng Ziyu was fighting for an opportunity, he guessed that the action should be tonight,

So after nightfall, they began to slowly approach the ground. When they saw the fire rushing into the sky in the distance, and the boats of Taihu Lake were heading south, they knew that the opportunity had come.

Without anyone noticing, a small boat with a capacity of ten people was lowered from their boat, and in the blink of an eye it ran into the reeds.

Several of them are the best of the guards.

They didn't have much effort to remove the Taihu stone.

A narrow waterway appears.

As soon as they entered, dozens of long crossbows were aimed at them.

"It's us! Guards! ”

The long crossbows fell one after another, all of them were acquaintances. The owners of the long crossbow were all Li Chun's secret guards left in Jingxi.

It was the sound of the boat that alarmed them.

After seeing Zhu Changzhe, everyone in the armor breathed a sigh of relief.

"The guards came to pick up King Zhe into Beijing!" All the guards knelt on the ground in unison.

……
