The departure of the proprietress's deceased husband, the Cheng family, is just a small microcosm of Baiyun City.

Those who have this road ran early, and those who have no way to go after the Yamen closed the city, they also began to store grain, and rarely went out, as if there was some flood and beast outside.

Jiang Yi didn't think much about it at first, but as the panic intensified, he began to instinctively feel that something was wrong.

"Someone is fueling the flames and spreading panic!"

"When the sky falls, there is a high top, with you and me, there is no way to mess with us.

Our ability is limited, and it is enough to protect the people around us. ”

Lao Zhang, who had just boiled a furnace of big tonic pills, sat on the side and rested, with a happy smile on his face, and he didn't care.

Since Cheng Luo left with the Cheng family, the proprietress was sad for a while, but her mind gradually withdrew from her daughter.

Now the two are just about to get married, but in the eyes of outsiders, they are already a pair of immortal couples who have achieved positive results.

"That's right."

Jiang Yi found that Lao Zhang was quite happy to have a heartless life, as long as he closed his eyes and didn't look, no matter how messy it was outside, it had nothing to do with him.

Maybe it's not just him, but many people in the city think so.

Not to mention anything else, the fact that the big tonic pill is still selling well is a great proof.

It's just that the cost of medicinal materials has risen.

This is what Hou Gongzi can't do to guarantee the medicinal materials.

It is said that the traffic outside Baiyun City has begun to be blocked, and bandits have appeared, and the medicinal materials can no longer be transported.

Not only medicinal herbs, but also grain, cloth, salt, and so on.

Today, the city consumes all the inventory it used up from.

Fortunately, Hou Gongzi had the foresight to purchase a large number of medicinal materials on the market in advance, and it would be no problem to support the pharmaceutical industry for another two months.

"Lao Zhang, you and the proprietress should move in together these days, and there is still a response. Remember what I told you about Tiger Mountain and the Illuminati? I always felt like they were going to make a move. Jiang Yi reminded.

Hearing the Illuminati, Lao Zhang's expression was correct, and he nodded heavily: "Okay." ”

……

Night.

The lights on the city gate were still on, but the officers and soldiers guarding the city had already fallen asleep against the city wall.

There was no war in Baiyun City for a long time, and the only thing the officers and soldiers defending the city did was to collect the city fee, and by the evening, the original garrison system had already existed in name only.

Even in the chaos of the city now, the power of habit cannot be changed.

Suddenly, a black shadow appeared on the city gate tower and quietly entered the room.

Burst!

The officers and soldiers defending the city stared widely, their hands struggled, blood spurted out from their throats, and they fell softly.

One, two......

The team of ten people in charge of defending the city all died in their sleep.

The next moment.

There was a sound of the door opening at the gates of the city.

The heavy gates that were in charge of guarding them were opened without the slightest resistance.

Da Da Da!!

The sound of horses' hooves sounded, and a group of horse bandits crept in from the night.

The leader is a big man in the shape of a biao, wearing armor and holding a tiger-headed knife, which is the big boss of Tiger Mountain, Guan Meng, who is known as the Tiger Downhill.

"Guan Da is in charge!"

The person who opened the door arched his hand towards Guan Meng, his eyes swept over the horse bandit behind Guan Meng, and a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes.

This group of rabble bandits actually rode horses, wore armor and carried bows, and he also saw several light crossbows.

Although only a dozen or so people in the lead have this equipment, the meaning is already different, just with these dozen or so cavalry, they can run rampant in Baiyun City.

"Haha, Qin Shao is polite."

Guan Meng turned over and dismounted, and saluted with his fists in the same way as the comer.

"I haven't thanked you for sending my tiger head knife back, you must know that after missing this tiger head knife, I won't even eat well, and when I find the person who grabbed the knife, I will definitely break his body into ten thousand pieces!"

The person who opened the city gate was Qin Yuanji, the young gang leader of the Red Tiger Gang, and I don't know when the Red Tiger Gang hooked up with Tiger Mountain.

"The treasure knife is matched with the hero, this tiger head knife is born with evil spirits, it is to match a good man like Guan Da Boss, I got this knife by chance, it is the will of God to borrow my hand to return the knife to the big boss."

"Tonight's action, trouble Guan Da Boss's shot, the Heavenly Eagle Gate is the top priority, we must not let them escape a single person, destroy the Heavenly Eagle Gate, and the armed forces in this city will be respected by my Red Tiger Gang.

You and I should work together inside and outside, and we will be able to control the entire Baiyun City, so as to respond to the big event! ”

Guan Meng admitted: "What has been agreed on a long time, the master will not forget, and I will ask your gang to lead the way." ”

Qin Yuanji said to his entourage: "Ah Da, you come to lead the way for Guan Da's master." ”

"Get on the horse!"

"Drive!"

Guan Meng got on his horse, took the lead, and went straight into the city.

Behind him, there was a rabble of thousands of people, including hundreds of good players trained by Guan Meng himself.

……

"Horse bandits have come in!"

"The horse bandits are in!"

……

There were bursts of chanting outside the house, Jiang Yi woke up from his sleep, turned over and got out of bed, put on his clothes and walked out of the room.

The lights were lit in the various rooms in the courtyard.

Lao Zhang walked out of the hostess's room, wearing only underwear, and his face was a little confused.

"What's going on?"

Jiang Yi listened attentively, but found that the chanting was disorganized, more like deliberately causing panic.

He stepped on the corner of the wall, took a few steps to the roof, and saw that the lights of the houses in the inner city were lit, and several houses were even more ablaze and had already burned.

From time to time, large groups of people ran through the streets.

There are officers and soldiers of the yamen, and there are also guards from unknown families.

The sound of horse bandits entering the city resounded all over the inner city, accompanied by fires everywhere, and fear was in the air.

"Lao Zhang, you stay at home, I'll take a look."

Jiang Yi instructed, and his figure had jumped out of the street.

Passive waiting is not his style.

At the very least, we need to figure out what happened.

"Huh...... Okay, you be careful. ”

Lao Zhang opened his mouth, and he could only say a word of caution.

Then he said to Jiang Tingting and Xiaolian who came out: "Don't be afraid, go to Qimeng's room first, I will stay outside and don't tell you not to come out." ”

He went into the room, took out a thick-backed scimitar, and sat down in the courtyard with a big swagger, steaming.

……

Inner city gates.

The gates were shut.

Several bloodstained men were calling for the door.

"Open the door! I'm Yin Tianxiong from the Sky Eagle Gate, open the door for me! ”

They pounded the gate with all their might, their faces filled with rage.

No one expected that there would be horse bandits entering the city, and just when everyone was asleep, the horse bandits surrounded the entire Aquila Gate.

Everywhere you look, there are murderous horse bandits.

Blood and fire are intertwined, and the sound of killing is shocking.

A group of gangsters in the Aquila Gate who wandered the streets were strong when they were weak and weak when they were strong.

The end of scattering and fleeing is to be hacked to death by the horse bandits who have been waiting outside.

Yin Tianxiong has always thought highly of himself, but when he really encountered a life-and-death situation, he found that his brain was blank and he didn't know how to deal with it.

In the end, it was his father, Yin Ye, the master of the Heavenly Eagle Gate, who was in a panic, dispatched his disciples and disciples, began to resist, and arranged a few good hands to protect Yin Tianxiong and enter the inner city for help.

This is the horse bandits entering the city, and the county government will also send people to quell the chaos.

Then Yin Tianxiong called for a long time, but the city gate tower still didn't react.

"Bastard! Why today! ”

Yin Tianxiong could only secretly scold for bad luck.

Today happens to be the 20th anniversary of the establishment of the Aquila Gate, and a large group of people gathered at the entrance of the hall to celebrate, drinking and having fun all night.

This is also an important reason for the failure of the Aquila Gate.

When the horse bandits came, everyone didn't wake up from drinking, and there was still any combat effectiveness.

And he lives in the inner city on weekdays, even if he encounters horse bandits entering the city, the ones who die are the outer disciples of the Aquila Gate.

As long as such a person is given food, he can recruit as much as he wants.

But now even his father's life and death are unknown.

"Yo! Yin Dashao, why are you so embarrassed? ”

Suddenly, on the gate of the city tower, a joke fell.

Yin Tianxiong raised his head and saw Qin Yuanji's smiling face.

"Qin Yuanji!"

"Open the door to Lao Tzu!"

"The horse bandits are here, now is not the time for us to fight, let the county government send troops, hurry up!"

Yin Tianxiong's tone changed from strong to weak, and finally brought a little pleading.

"I'm sorry, Yin Dashao, this is the order of the magistrate, without his warrant, no one can open the city gate without permission.

The horse bandits were all stragglers, looting in the outer city, and when they had enough, they left. ”

Qin Yuanji's tone was apologetic, and his expression was not beaten.

Yin Tianxiong knew that this was Qin Yuanji taking revenge on himself, his face stiffened, but he still held back his anger and said:

"Qin Shao, in the past, I didn't live with you, but I beg you, open the city gate, it doesn't matter if the county magistrate doesn't send troops, I'll go and invite someone myself."

Qin Yuanji still shook his head: "No, Yin Dashao, who knows if the horse bandits will suddenly rush over when I open the door, just in case, it is better for you to go to other places to ask for help."

By the way, I remember that your Heavenly Eagle Gate is from the Xingyi Gate, if the master of the Xingyi Gate comes, it is not a matter of three or two bandits that can be solved. ”

If his gaze could kill, Qin Yuanji would have been shot all over the place at this time, but Yin Tianxiong's gaze would not hurt anyone no matter how angry he was.

"Qin Yuanji, what do you want to do before you are willing to open the door?"

Qin Yuanji smiled and said: "Pg me, it's not a verbal beg, come out with some sincerity Yin Dashao, you are such a smart person who knows what I want?" ”

Yin Tianxiong's body stiffened, and he only felt that the world was quiet.

He knew that Qin Yuanji wanted to humiliate himself, and wanted to make himself pay the price for being high in the past and having no one in his eyes.

But I thought of my father, who was still waiting for support.

There was a tightness in his chest, a sweetness in his throat, and a mouthful of reverse blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

"Good!"

Yin Tianxiong knelt heavily towards Qin Yuanji and pleaded loudly:

"Please, Qin Dashao, open the city gate and let me in."

"Hahaha!"

Qin Yuanji laughed, his tone extremely mocking.

"Oh my God, how did Yin Da Shao kneel down to me, I am a little deflated three, I can't stand Yin Da Shao's kneeling with such a noble person, I want to lose my life."

"But I'm sorry, Yin Dashao, it's useless for you to kneel, I really can't open the door, if you don't believe it, you can ask Chen Zhutou."

"Chen Zhutou, don't hide inside, come out and talk to Yin Dashao, lest everyone else think that I have a personal vendetta."

Qin Yuanji pulled out a middle-aged man with an embarrassed face and wearing a head-catching suit.

"Yin Shao, what Qin Shao said is right, Lord Qian gave a death order, and no one can open the city gate before the horse bandits leave."

The middle-aged man's eyes showed pity.

As one of the head catchers of the county government, he did not receive the filial piety of the Eagle Gate, and he also drank at the same table with this Yin Dashao.

It's really awkward to meet at this time.

Yin Tianxiong said in disbelief: "What is Qian Zhixian doing, does he ignore the tens of thousands of people in this outer city?"

Isn't he afraid that the court will track him down, remove him from office, and dismiss him from office! ”

Yin Tianxiong thought that Qin Yuanji had pretended to be the magistrate of the county before, and only then did he know how outrageous this magistrate was.

As a local parent official, ignoring the people, if this kind of thing is done, his reputation will be completely ruined.

"Someone has to be able to sue them."

Qin Yuanji sneered and left Yin Tianxiong's sight.

Yin Tianxiong only felt uncomfortable in his chest, and he had no strength in his body.

"Help me up, let's go out of the city and go to find Xingyi Gate, and someone will definitely avenge the revenge of the Eagle Gate!"

He said to his retinue.

But the next moment he looked desperate.

Because at the end of the city gate, several high-headed horses galloped over, and the person who led it was carrying a human head in his hand, which was Yin Ye, the owner of the Aquila Gate.

"Haha! Little bunny, I almost let you run! ”

A tiger-headed broadsword slashed at the head, and the left and right followers stepped forward to block, but where could they block the knife that people borrowed from horses.

Yin Tianxiong closed his eyes and only shouted before he died.

"Qin Yuanji, I'll wait for you below!"

Poof!

A good human head flew into the air.

This ambitious young man was in a different place.

Upstairs at the city gate, Chen Zhutou's face was pale, looking at the back of Guan Meng walking away with his head, and spit out a sentence to Qin Yuanji behind him.

"Qin Shao, do you just let them go?"

Qin Yuanji shrugged his shoulders and said: "As long as they don't attack the inner city, the outer city will be robbed by them, this is the original words of the magistrate, Chen Zhutou, I also obey the order." ”

After speaking, he walked down the city tower and saw the heads of the Lord of the Aquila Gate and the Master of the Young Gate with his own eyes, and he could sleep well tonight.

From now on, Baiyun City has changed!

Chen Zhutou knew that the horse bandits' entry into the city was definitely inseparable from the Red Tiger Gang, otherwise the horse bandits would not only find trouble with the Eagle Gate, and they would still have such a good life.

But the magistrate was fed by the Red Tiger Gang, and was frightened by the horse bandits, and divided the defense power of the inner city to the Red Tiger Gang.

Moreover, the Heavenly Eagle Gate is gone, and the biggest force in Baiyun City is the Qin family's Red Tiger Gang, even if he knows, it will be useless.

He patted the head of the city wall hatefully, looked at the fire in the outer city, and the crazy laughter of the horse bandits in his ears, and could only turn away, out of sight.

Although he collects black money, blackmails merchants, arrests people indiscriminately, and wrongs good people, he feels that he is still a good headcatcher, and he can't see such a tragic scene.

Dark corners.

Jiang Yi clinged to the city wall, like a gecko, he listened to the conversation between Qin Yuanji, Yin Tianxiong and Chen Zhutou on the city tower, and his heart was as cold as a knife.

What a dog officer!

But what can you know.

With his current strength, can he break into the county government and kill the magistrate of the corpse?

Even if you kill it, what can you do, can you save the people in the city?

Jiang Yi lowered his head, wanting to do something, but he felt powerless, only a nameless anger burned in his heart.

"I'm still too weak......"

Jiang Yi muttered and left quietly.
