"Bang bang ......"

The gong sounded, and the people gathered.

In the Northern Qi Province, in the city of Yelu, on the streets, the officials of the imperial court loudly announced the new order that had just been made.

"From now on, all the cloth in Yelu City will be confiscated, temporarily stored in the government treasury, all cloth villages, and clothing stores will be closed for rectification, and all silk and silk shall not be sold again......"

"Why?"

"It's just a great Miao in the world, this dynasty has been in this dynasty for nearly three hundred years, how can there be such a ridiculous mansion!"

"I don't believe this is an order from the government, everyone will go to the yamen with me to see what the basis is!"

The crowd exploded.

In fact, it's no wonder that these wealthy businessmen don't understand, and even the officials in charge of preaching themselves are at a loss, looking completely ignorant.

On the premise of not knowing the truth of the treacherous incident, all the cloth will be confiscated for no reason, what is the difference between directly robbing money?

"Recently, there have been demons that cast spells on cloth and cursed people...... Especially bright and conspicuous, Lord Fu Yin is also for everyone's sake. ”

"The confiscated goods are not returned to the public, but temporarily stored for a certain period of time, and must be returned......"

It was rare for the officials to persuade them bitterly, but it seemed to be of little use.

Ordinary people may obediently obey orders, but those who can open cloth villages and shops are not ordinary people, most of them are squires and heroes.

But not all the people in the crowd didn't understand, and some well-informed people vaguely knew the inside story and couldn't help but show worried looks.

"The government has begun to confiscate the cloth and shut down the cloth village, and it seems that this time it is really going to be a big disaster."

"What should we do, are we going to get out of here, if we just collect those cloths and clothes, it won't help at all."

"Yes, this is full of streets, neighbors, which family has no clothes and quilts, I heard that the evil demons that come out of the Yin Mountain can even those things can be attached to, one is not careful, even sleeping may be suffocated, walking on the road may be strangled to death......"

"Can't the whole city burn all those cloths and clothes, and men, women, and children clean and smooth together, right?"

It stands to reason that that's really the best way to deal with the cloth demon.

At present, the imperial court also relies on the method of clearing the wilderness to solve the evil spirits.

But most of the people in Yelu City today have moved from other places, and their perception of that incident back then is that there was a war and war, and the demon cult was a disaster, and the court did not dare to tell the truth easily, lest it cause greater panic.

Such a dilemma is not an option.

The government can only privately gather those rich businessmen and powerful squires to vaguely tell part of the truth.

There are also those folk aliens, who have also begun to be gathered and forcibly recruited.

As a result, the more we learn about the past, the more desperate we become.

Because they hardly see the slightest chance of victory.

If it weren't for the government's coercion, there were still people who had probed before, and confirmed that the individual combat power of those cloth demons was not very strong, but I was afraid that these people who were told the truth would have fled in a hurry.

"Fortunately, those cloth demons are afraid of fire, and once they are ignited, they have little power to fight back, and they are afraid of scissors or swords and the like, and even if they have the strength, they may tear them apart......"

"If we work together, we should be able to hold this place."

"It should ...... Yes......"

As the minutes passed, the forces that the government could mobilize were mobilized, and the decree was finally carried out.

It seems that those wealthy businessmen were finally persuaded, not only did they no longer resist, but even took the initiative to cooperate with the government to continue to confiscate cloth, ready-to-wear, and deal with it in a centralized manner.

But anyone with a discerning eye can see that this speed is too slow.

They still refused to agree to destroy it on the spot, because it was money, and after the disaster, it would have to be sold for money.

The government simply did not have enough strength to snatch out all the clothes and fabrics in the homes of the people.

If the cloth demon has been mixed in and begins to multiply in the shadows, it will be difficult to control the situation.

In the evening, in the foothills of the city, a rapid drum suddenly sounded.

In an official office near the government office, Zhong Chenghu, the local town guard, gathered his subordinates, and a total of 16 strangers gathered under his command.

The establishment of 100 households in this place is limited, and more than a dozen Inhumans are already the limit of what they can take.

But at the same time, some people from the day shift in civilian clothes also gathered.

These are folk aliens from the grassy rivers and lakes, who receive errands from the government and eat the money of the local government.

Zhong Cheng saw that the people were almost here, and said to everyone: "In the west of the city, there is a damn guy who secretly hid thousands of silk cloths, and now they have all turned into demons and are wreaking havoc everywhere!"

They must all be destroyed before they become irreversible! ”

What? Something went wrong with the official?

When the general flags under their command heard this, their faces suddenly changed.

Not everyone knows about the treacherous things, and when the grassroots level is executed, it is inevitable that some people will not realize the seriousness of the matter, secretly embezzle ink, and secretly hide the seized things.

But I didn't expect that the greed that usually only stabs some small baskets will become a catastrophe at this time.

But the matter has come to this, and they have no choice but to follow the fast horse and hurry to the place of the incident.

In this way, they have no way to dispatch all of them, because they have to leave more than half of their people to watch this side, so as not to be unable to react to other situations.

Not long after, Zhong Cheng and his party rushed to the location of the incident, and sure enough, they saw that many cloth demons were already there spreading in all directions, and they were about to break out of the blockade and go out.

In Yelu City, many leaders of non-governmental vitality organizations like Wang Jian and Han Zhi were also mobilized to guard the streets and gates in the city and strictly investigate the activities of the demons.

Several people were blocking them, and they were using their swords and torches to force each other, barely holding on.

Ironically, all of them had taken off their shirts and barely covered them with a belt wrapped around their lower bodies.

That's because once you get close to the cloth demon, you may be induced by a treacherous force to wake up all the clothes and pants on your body.

Mystical forces will transform them into demons and envelop people directly.

Suddenly, a Minzhuang accidentally fell into a siege.

The strength of one or two cloth demons alone is not too strong, and there is no way to kill him, but in the blink of an eye, more cloth demons rushed up, and wrapped themselves around the neck of that person under the witness of Zhong Cheng and others, and pulled hard, and after a while, the cervical vertebrae were broken, and the limbs were also twisted and deformed, and they were strangled alive.

After killing this person, more than ten cloth demons scattered in a hurry, each showing a strange appearance like an invisible person wearing clothes and a sheet, and pounced on the next person.
