In the inn guy's deliberate low voice, Sun Ning knew what kind of shocking changes had taken place in Suizhou City in just over a month.

What is happening here can be said to be both similar and opposite to Ruzhou.

Just after entering the winter moon, a news spread to Suizhou, saying that important people in the local government were bought and even controlled by a huge force hidden under the water.

What the Zongheng Association has to do in all parts of Huguang is to control the official granary, so as to achieve the goal of controlling the entire Central Plains through grain.

At the same time, there is also a list, in which there are two names, which are quite familiar to Suizhou people - Zhizhou Yan Ke, garrison Fang Xiang!

As soon as the rumors arrived, it caused a storm in Suizhou City.

For ordinary people, this is just an after-dinner conversation, but for the people in the officialdom and those businessmen who make a living by reselling grain, this is a major matter related to their own interests.

Lord Suizhou Taishou Qin immediately ordered the two subordinates on the list to be summoned to the yamen for questioning, and at the same time sent people to the yamen and military camp of the two to take over the relevant affairs.

Like everyone in power, when he found that his authority was challenged by external forces, Lord Qin's reaction was quite fast.

However, these two Suizhou subordinates vigorously denied that they were members of the Zonghenghui in front of Lord Taishou, and it is said that Fang Xiang even kowtowed on the spot and broke a blue brick in the hall.

Moreover, in order to show their innocence, they are completely willing to hand over all the powers in their hands, including the local military power that Fang Xiang has been in charge of for more than five years.

Seeing that the two of them cooperated so much to cry out for grievances, Qin Taishou really had doubts about this rumor, but the vigilance in his heart still made him appease his subordinates on the one hand, and on the other hand, he sent people to continue to investigate deeply, looking for possible clues.

During this period, he even sent most of his cronies to the following states and counties and to Huainan, just to give justice to his two subordinates.

So, more than ten days passed, and just as the winter moon was about to end, an astonishing change finally happened.

On the night of the 25th day of the winter month, a sudden turmoil broke out in the military camp in the city, and some middle and low-level generals suddenly launched a rebellion, and directly killed the officials who were ordered by the Taishou to take care of them on the spot.

Then this group of soldiers and horses, led by the cronies of several garrisons, slaughtered to various important positions in the city.

In just one night, the four gates of Suizhou were all under their control, and Fang Xiang, who had been honestly staying at home and waiting for the trial, also broke out and led his troops to Taishou Mansion.

It's a pity that the garrison of Taishou Mansion at this time is only a few hundred, and it is completely defenseless, how can it be the opponent of several times the rebels?

It was almost a massacre, the Taishou Mansion was captured, and Qin Taishou was also taken directly to the street by them, and in front of hundreds of people, he cut off the head with a knife.

It was only at this time that Zhizhou Yan Ke and the garrison Fang Xiang revealed their true identities, and they had really cooperated with the Zonghenghui, and immediately replaced Qin Taishou and became the ruler of Suizhou.

And this is just the beginning, and immediately, a purge was launched in Suizhou City.

Those former Taishou's cronies and subordinates, as well as their family members, were all charged with various crimes by them, and then all of them were arrested.

There was no trial and conviction, they were directly beheaded on the spot, and their families and dependents were dragged out of the city and buried with their hands, while those who were officials were cut off their heads and hung above the city gate together with Qin Taishou.

In just a few days, more than 30 officials were beheaded and their homes were broken, and thousands of people were implicated.

Among them, there are not only so-called enemies who have a deep relationship with Qin Taishou, but also those who were killed on the spot by them because they had a holiday with these two people.

Such a bloody method immediately shocked the whole city.

In addition, the soldiers and horses of Suizhou still guarded the four gates, which caused the people in the city to panic and could not leave, which made the situation of the people in the city more and more uneasy.

And the facts proved that their panic was not unfounded, because after the officials were purged, leaving only a group of men loyal to the two and the Zonghenghui, they raised their butcher knives to the merchants and wealthy merchants in the city.

They were given only two choices, either to donate their family's food, and promised to follow the orders of the government, that is, their orders; Either or accompany those officials to their deaths.

In the face of such a desperate situation, how could the merchants seek their own death, so they could only obediently surrender, so that they could completely control the trade routes of this important grain transportation area, and continue to cut off the grain transported from Huguang to Guangdong......

However, as all these enemies on the surface were eliminated by them, the enemies in the shadows began to appear.

Many righteous people in Suizhou have secretly entered the city after the lunar month, wanting to eliminate harm for the people.

Although these benevolent and righteous men failed to kill the two culprits, they were also frightened.

In the end, they can only strengthen the city's defense work, searching for suspicious people everywhere, making the whole city more stressful and everyone in danger.

This is what Sun Ning saw and heard after they entered the city today......

After Sun Ning and the three of them listened to this story, they also sighed.

Judging from the process, the shocking change in Suizhou is indeed very similar to the change in Ruzhou, but the result is just the opposite, and it actually falls under the control of the conspiracy of the vertical and horizontal conspirators.

But this also reminded Sun Ning that his previous approach was certainly happy enough, but it did completely expose the Zongheng Society, and the loss was not small. But at the same time, it also forced them to start taking risks.

Since horizontal and vertical is death, it is better to fight and kill the boss and the chief official and replace him!

"So you people in the city are willing to be suppressed like this, and don't even dare to resist?" Yan Yifei was enthusiastic and couldn't help asking.

Think about the people in Guobei County, they dare to fight for survival. Why are there more people in Suizhou, but they don't have the courage?

"This son laughed, I am unarmed, how can I dare to go against the officials and soldiers?" The guy smiled and said, "And, in fact, how those adults make up their minds has nothing to do with me and other small people." In fact, our days have been taken recently, and the difference from the past is not too big, that is, we go out less......"

"You ......" Yan Yifei was angry for a while, and wanted to say something, but was stopped by Sun Ning: "Actually, everyone's choice is right, it's just that you want to live a good life." Now that the Dayue Imperial Court is long dead, who is it different from? ”

"What this boy said is, that's the reason." The man nodded, but his eyes were fixed on the silver on the table. He said so much, isn't it for these silver taels?

Sun Ning also understood, so he took the silver and put it in his hand immediately: "I've rewarded you, but today's matter ......"

"Don't worry, the little ones don't dare to talk nonsense." The man replied with a smile on his face, and then withdrew with the silver and thanks.
