Murong Chong used a three-stone hard bow, and one arrow on each leg had already nailed the masked man to the spot. But what he didn't expect was that without waiting for the sergeant to step forward, the masked man pulled off his scarf, took out a few pills from his arms, and swallowed them in his mouth.

The sergeant stepped forward to check: "Head, it's out of gas." ”

Murong Chong sighed and said, "Hey, I was careless, I never thought it was a dead man." ”

Zhang Jian on the side had been untied, and when he stepped forward, he couldn't help but feel that this person was familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it for a while.

Murong Chong: "Does Mr. Zhang know this person?" ”

Zhang Jian shook his head: "It looks familiar, but I can't remember where I've seen it for a while." He turned his head and asked Feng Sijian if he had seen this person.

Feng Si took a closer look and shook his head and said that he hadn't seen it, but in this way, Zhang Jian was even more puzzled, this person must not be a thief, otherwise he would not be the only one who came in, but this person is not from Qi Mansion, how can he be so familiar with Qi Mansion, how did he know about this secret way.

Just when Zhang Jian was puzzled, Murong Chong sent a sergeant to investigate the secret passage back, and reported that this secret passage led directly to the main house in the backyard, and there were no forks or mechanisms in between. When Murong Chong heard this, he hurriedly asked if there were any thieves guarding the backyard, and the sergeant replied that there was no backyard, and there was no one in the backyard, and the thieves were all here.

Murong Chong couldn't help but be overjoyed after hearing this, and after thinking for a moment, he turned his head and said to Zhang Jian: "Mr. Zhang, although this place is strong and can be defended for a long time, it will be lost, and the subordinates have a strategy that may be able to defeat the thieves. ”

Zhang Jian was surprised: "Oh? Now in this extraordinary period, what is the strategy of Murong Baifu who has been on the battlefield for a long time, Zhang has not listened to the order of the battle array. ”

Murong Chong thanked him: "Thank you Mr. for your trust, in fact, you don't need Mr. to do anything, just follow closely." ”

After a series of arrangements by Murong Chong, most of the soldiers came to the backyard along the secret passage, and the remaining soldiers stayed in the side courtyard and piled up flammable materials in the courtyard to prepare.

"Lord! The officers and soldiers in the courtyard set themselves on fire! Zhu Xiong raised his eyes when he heard what his subordinates said, isn't it that there are already raging flames in the courtyard, and the fire is monstrous.

Zhu Xiong suddenly panicked, his hands and feet and eyes were about to pop out, and he shouted: "Hurry! Hurry up and put out the fire for you, Lao Tzu's food. ”

The hysterical howl made his subordinates mess up again, and they put down the digging things in their hands and began to look for things that held water.

In the backyard, Murong Chong had already divided his soldiers into several teams and dived to the side courtyard not far away, waiting for Zhu Xiong to panic, at this moment, seeing that the time was ripe, Zhang Gong took a rocket and shot it into the sky, and the soldiers in the side yard saw the agreed signal and immediately opened the courtyard door to kill, Murong Chong also pulled out a steel knife and shouted: "Destroy the thieves at this time, kill!" ”

It is said that Zhu Xiong was looking for how to put out the fire, and suddenly the sound of killing shook the sky from all sides. Just as he was about to ask what was going on, he saw a large number of people in front of him retreating.

Zhu Xiong was furious: "Grandma is a bear, what's the matter?" ”

The mountain bandits who retreated shouted and reported: "Lord! Oh no, reinforcements from the officers and soldiers came, and they came from behind us. ”

At this time, someone ran from the direction of the side courtyard to say that the officers and soldiers in the courtyard also took advantage of the chaos to kill, and the scene was chaotic and could not be resisted.

For a while, there was a mess all around, and the sound of howling and killing thieves was endless, Zhu Xiong's face was blue and angry, but as soon as he pulled out his waist knife, he heard a rain of arrows coming, and the unsuspecting bandits were instantly shot over more than a dozen people. This time, the bandits exploded in an instant, and the people who ran back and the people who ran out were crowded together, Zhu Xiong tried his best to stop it, but it was to no avail, this gang of rabble was already scared, how could they manage anything. Seeing that he was unable to return to the sky, Zhu Xiong had no choice but to flee with the rout under the escort of his cronies.

Murong Chong saw this scene, how could he let it go, and took advantage of the darkness when everyone rode on their war horses and chased after them, so he didn't know how many people were chasing, and he didn't know how many people were running in front of him, until he chased out of the city for two or three miles, Murong Chong gave up and returned to the city.

The scattered battles in the city did not gradually stop until dawn, and then the rest of the men and horses outside the West Gate also outflanked and reinforced, and this battle killed the corpses of the bandits in Nanling, but unfortunately finally ran Zhu Xiong, the bandit leader, and the crisis in Fuzhou was solved.

Although the crisis in Fuzhou has been resolved, the aftermath work has just begun, Wei Ze, He Ju and others first ordered Wang Ling Murong Chong's guard battalion to take over the four gates, and then mobilized the four countryside to investigate the remnants of the bandits in Nanling Mountain in the city, and finally He Ju's petition for guilt, although the Fuzhou rebellion was Zhu Xiong who took advantage of the disaster, He Ju was too guarded to take the blame, and Fuzhou City was damaged by this chaos, not to mention serious casualties. As for Zhang Jian, he was arranged to be responsible for restoring order in the city, Zhang Jian first ordered people to collect the remaining grain in the city and restore the porridge field first, and then asked the family members to claim the corpses that died in the chaos, and the unclaimed ones were moved to the outside of the city to be burned and buried.

Just when everything was going on in an orderly manner, the problem also came, there was not much food in the city, and the chaos was even worse, Lu Qing went to Suxian to urge food, and there was no news in the direction of Linchuan.

Just when everyone was helpless, Zhang Jian hesitated and said: "Actually, it's not that there is no way, there is still grain and rice in this city." ”

Wei Ze was puzzled by He Ju and the others, but Murong Chong understood: "Mr. Zhang is talking about the grain in the treasury of the Qi family's trading company?" ”

At this time, everyone woke up like a dream and remembered the grain in the Qi Mansion, after defeating Zhu Xiong, Zhang Jian ordered people to carefully liquidate it, and the grain in the treasury was as much as 8,000 stones, if these grains could be used, not to mention the urgent need to support him for a month, it was more than enough. But now the embarrassment is that the owner of these grains is not there, Qi Guan and the housekeeper do not know where to go, and the rest of the people in the mansion except for Mafu Feng Si all died at the hands of thieves.

He Ju said thoughtfully: "These grains were originally looted by Zhu Xiong, but they were rescued by us. At that time, the scene was chaotic, there was a fire and a fierce battle, and the loss was not small. ”

Zhang Jian also responded: "That's right, and Qiguan agreed to sell grain at half price yesterday, and then he will come back and ask us for money." ”

A few people smiled heartily, and Wei Ze said, "Okay, then I'll give the order myself." ”

He Ju was grateful and knelt on the ground: "The minister He Ju bowed to thank the prince for his great kindness." ”

Wei Ze smiled and said: "My father asked me to sit in the state city for disaster relief, I am duty-bound, you let go and do it with your heart, and I Wei Ze is not a person who shirks his responsibilities and has no responsibility." ”

With food and no panic, the porridge field in the city has been restored, not to mention a few more places, what can be more soothing than a bowl of thick porridge at this moment.

But just when everyone was relieved, there was a sudden sound of earth shaking outside the city, as if a large group of people were coming, Murong Chong hurriedly ordered the city gate to be closed, and then hurriedly rushed up to the city to look into the distance, only to see the dusty brigade of cavalry galloping not far away. Murong Chong smiled, this was none other than the soldiers of the Guards Battalion. He hurriedly took a few horses out of the city to meet him, but when he got closer, he found that the leader was not Wu Yun.

One of the people in the team rode out and glanced at Murong Chong: "Who are you?" ”

Murong Chong is not a fool to be able to bring so many people, he must be bigger than his own officials, and hurriedly dismounted and bowed: "Murong Chong, the centurion of the last guard battalion,".

The man said, "I'm Lu Qingyuan." ”

Murong Chong: "It turned out to be an adult who joined the army." ”

Lu Qingyuan: "I have read the battle report sent to Wu Yun by Wang Ling, and you have done a good job." Go, come with me into the city. ”

Fuzhou City is too guarded

Lu Qingyuan sat at the head and listened to He Ju's tearful report, Lu Qingyuan waved his hand: "You don't have to blame yourself too much, you can do your part before Your Majesty and His Royal Highness make a decision." ”

Wei Ze: "Master, why did you rush back for reinforcements so quickly?" ”

Lu Qingyuan: "I was on the way back, and I met Wu Yun halfway and asked for some soldiers and horses. Lu Qingyuan understated it, but the fact was that he was waiting for the relief grain and rice from Jingzhou in Suxian County for a long time, and then received a warrant from the state government, saying that there were mountain bandits who had looted this batch of grain and rice in advance, and Wu Yun had rushed to reinforcements, Lu Qingyuan keenly felt that this matter was not simple, and hurriedly got up and rushed back to Fuzhou. Halfway through the encounter with Wu Yun, Lu Qingyuan asked Wu Yun to continue marching to Suxian County according to the order, and he returned to Fuzhou first.

Everyone sighed at the coincidence.

Lu Qingyuan continued: "It seems that your disaster relief methods are very effective, and I have come all the way to see that all the counties are in order, which is very good. I have also read the disaster relief instructions issued to the counties, which are simple and clear. I don't know who did it? ”

Wei Ze: "Made by Zhang Jian." ”

Zhang Jian didn't even dare to say: "These methods are all finalized by Shizi and He Taishou, and they are just a fight." ”

Lu Qingyuan glanced at Zhang Jian and nodded.

Then Wei Ze reported the matter of the thousands of stones of grain from the Qi family trading company to Lu Qingyuan, but after hearing this, Lu Qingyuan just smiled coldly and asked about the masked man, so He Ju led everyone to the back hall, and Liu Wu's body had been moved here.

Lu Qingyuan carefully examined the corpse: "What can be found on this person's body?" ”

He Ju: "Nothing has been found." ”

Lu Qingyuan: "Can anyone know this person?" ”

He Ju: "This person is not a thief from Nanling, but the people in the Qi Mansion can identify and say that this person is not from the Qi Mansion." ”

Zhang Jian took a closer look, before Zhang Jian felt that this person was familiar, but at that time, the situation was urgent, Zhang Jian had no time to think quietly, and now looking at Zhang Jian, he suddenly felt that he was the one who knocked him down in Qi Mansion.

"I remembered, in Qi Mansion! I saw him in Qi Mansion yesterday, and as soon as I came out of the living room after discussing the price of food with Qi Guan yesterday, he was knocked down by a person, and this person was it. ”

Lu Qingyuan said in a deep voice: "Okay, this matter is over, He Taishou will burn this person's body here." ”

Everyone was a little puzzled when they saw Lu Qingyuan's attitude change

"Lord Joiner, this is ......."

Lv Qingyuan: "This is the end of the matter in Fuzhou, today I will set off to rush back to Linchuan, I will write to the king of Linchuan about the reward and punishment, and the soldiers and horses I brought will temporarily be led by Wang Ling Murong Chong to protect Fuzhou, and you will return to Linchuan with me." That's right! He Taishou, if you see Qi Guandai, I will thank him for his grain and rice. ”

"The subordinate officer obeys the order, and he must thank the shopkeeper Qi Guanqi on behalf of the lord who joined the army."
