"Protect Zhang Sanniang and Aunt Gongsun." Lu Linghao did not forget to give instructions to the guards.

His appeal has always been simple, hoping that the powerful will be well.

Gao Chong seemed to completely calm the situation, and there was a feeling that he was covering the sky with one hand. But the next moment, a henchman came to him and said: "County Cheng, I found out, Du Wulang, Yin Liang and others are hiding in Cui Yan's house." ”

Even he should have taken it...... Meng Wu, go to Cui's house to get someone. ”

"County Cheng, these high-ranking families have countless slaves, and the villains are only afraid that there will be not enough manpower."

"Take the husband with you. Then open the gates of the city, and bring in more husbands. ”

"This ...... Is it too much?

Gao Chong also felt that he was a little carried away, and even forgot how he got to this point from the beginning......

Oh, Xue Bai suddenly copied the dark house, how can this be endured?

What is he afraid of? The worst outcome is to flee to the north of the country and wait for a comeback.

But it will never be so bad, Wei Ji has been bought, then, everything that happened in Yanshi County, as long as it is pressed in Yanshi County, Henan Mansion will not care at all.

Remember the URL

"Go! There is also Xue Bai, who is dead and does not see the body, he must come out of the secret passage and hide in Cui's house. ”

"Wow.

Zheng Wei took the family to Cui's house with Cui's instigation, talking about the situation.

"My nephew is less than twenty years old, Xue Bai is the champion of the seventeenth year, both of them are prime ministers, both are in Yanshi County to check Guo Wanjin, a merchant who plundered and sold his lover and privately minted copper coins died when he died, Gao Chong refused to take a step back, there is a way to die, we can't sink the ship with him."

"It's just that over there in Henan Mansion, Linghu Shaoyin has always had close contacts with Guo Wanjin and Zhou Miao, so it can be seen that they are also their people. Although Wei Fuyin has a good reputation, he has a weak temperament, is it really as Lieutenant Cui said, can he come? ”

"Even if you don't come, you and I are among the seven surnames and ten families, are you afraid of a county?!

Cui instigated that at this point, there was already a family Ding Yu and said: "Ah Lang, the county Cheng has sent someone to search the house." ”

"Why?

"Said that he was looking for the anti-thief Xue Bai.....

"Ridiculous!" Cui was furious, "Lieutenant Xue has been buried in the fire, how can he hide in my house?!" Gao Chong, this is going to deal with me. Gather all the hands for me. ”

"Cui Gong." Zheng Wei was very righteous, hugged his fists and said: "I will advance and retreat with Cui Gong!" ”

The county office officer is still outside the door, but the Cui family is already in full swing.

Not only the courtyard, but even the ordinary slaves were ordered to pick up sticks and swear to protect the master's family, and to help the county order to bring the anti-thief county to justice.

At this point, Lu Linghao believes that the situation can still be cleaned up.

As long as he talks with Xue Bai and puts all the blame on Guo Wanjin, everyone sits down and talks, and maybe they can turn the conflict into a jade silk.

He then sent someone to persuade Gao Chong for the last time.

Gao Chong was already sitting in the public court, and when he heard the words, he said: "There's nothing to talk about, if you press down, I can come up with evidence to convict Xue Bai." ”

Immediately afterwards, someone rushed over and said: "County Cheng, Cui instigated the crowd to make trouble, and Zheng Wei's family members also scattered to gather people everywhere in the city. I'm afraid they want to surround the county office. ”

"A bunch of profit-seeking cowards.

Gao Chong actually laughed, he was afraid that these people would be strange, and his righteous brother told him why he rebelled.

Aren't they these cowards who steal the benefits of the world, but are elegant?

"What's the matter? Do you know what a 'coward' is? is just like our Lu County Order, who only calculates interests, scheming with the powerful, and does not dare to take the slightest risk, but wants to touch all the benefits. These gentry, even Lu Linghao is not as good, and they still want to gather people?

Those people are not Wang Yanxian, not Xue Bai, one is alone, lingering and refusing to give up; One is a newcomer, the oil and salt do not enter, and the mouth is bitten indiscriminately.

Wang Yanxian is a poisonous bee, Xue Bai is a mad dog, Gao Chong has been in office for all these years, only these two people almost injured him As for the gentry?

Dare to see blood?

Gao Chong instructed: "Go to the dock and tell Zhuang Ah Si to bring the most obedient Cao Fu and press me down." ”

Dock.

Zhuang Ah Si was sitting by the campfire drinking tea soup to refresh himself.

He had gathered all the Cao Gang's gang.

Everyone also knew that something had happened tonight, and they were talking about it.

"Qu Shuai is dead, I'm afraid I'm going to choose a new Qu Shuai tonight?"

"How? Except for Li San'er, who can twist the various Cao gangs into a rope. ”

"It's all messed up........

Zhuang Asi listened to these discussions, thinking that these river workers were also ridiculous, and there were many twists and turns in his heart, unlike the men in the north.

"Brother, the county has come to order......

"Not enough people?" Zhuang Ah Si was very surprised, he thought that it would never come to this point, and asked, "What's wrong?"

"The more trouble gets bigger and bigger, a few big families should feel that there are too many big cases to suppress, and they want to sell the county and rebel........

Zhuang Asi listened, thought about it for a while, and found that it was not possible to suppress the situation, so he got up, beckoned a few Xiaoqu heads of the Cao Gang, and said, "A few of you, bring the most powerful people over." ”

As if seeing him gather people, in the upper reaches of the Luo River, the lights suddenly turned on, and a huge official ship came slowly.

"It's over! Henan Yin came to suppress the county...... Brother, you can take the county to run. ”

"What's the panic?" Zhuang Ah Si said: "I've seen the county Cheng and Fu Yin drinking, let's see." ”

He was too far away to see clearly, so he walked forward, and at the same time beckoned his men to report all kinds of information to Gao Chong at any time.

In front of him, the coveters also stood up and stood on the shore to watch.

Finally, a cry came.

"The transporter is here!

Zhuang Asi knew a little better, and knew that it was impossible for the king to come to Yanshi by land and water transfer, so he pushed aside the crowd and squeezed forward, only to see a big flag hanging high on the ship, and the book "Du Youlin, the deputy envoy of the transfer envoy to the south of the river, was forward."

There is a world of difference between the transfer envoy and the deputy envoy, but unfortunately almost all the people here are illiterate and do not recognize the word "deputy". Although Zhuang Ah Si knew, he couldn't say why.

But there is one point, the transshipment envoy is also called "Cao Si", which is in charge of this Cao Yun business.

"What?

The county office, Gao Chong was shocked when he heard that an official ship was coming from Luoyang.

"It's impossible, I've already taken care of Henan Mansion, it must be impossible."

Fortunately, the news on the dock did not surprise him for too long, and after a while, someone came to say: "County Cheng, it is Du Youlin, the deputy envoy of land and water transfer." ”

"Du Youlin? He wants to move his luck? Let Li San'er ......

Gao Chong spoke smoothly, and when the words came to his lips, he remembered that Li San'er was dead.

He suddenly realized that Xue Bai's deeper purpose in killing Li San'er was to win Caofu's support, but everything happened too quickly for people to react.

From the raid of the dark house, the killing of Guo Wanjin, and the killing of Li San'er, Xue Bai quickly cut through the chaos, which provoked him to respond violently, but also gave him no time to integrate his forces.

It's just that his forces are very mixed, there are merchants, servants, family servants, and Caofu, and Caofu is also divided into several gangs.

"No, I'll have to go to the docks myself."

"County Cheng, there is still trouble in the city......

"Li San'er is gone, only I can control the Cao Gang."

Gao Chong got up, Meng Wu hurried over again, and said: "County Cheng, the villain is incompetent, he was driven out by Cui's instigation, and he didn't get anyone." Several large households are now coming to the county office with people.

At this time, the manpower of besieging Xue Bai in the dark house had gathered to the county office, and Gao Chong still had nearly two hundred people in the city, so he naturally didn't have to be afraid of anyone, so he walked straight to the gate and ordered: "Dare to besiege the official office, there is no doubt about rebellion, there is no need to leave your hands, let them see blood." ”

"Wow.

Those who were pushed to the front were still those Guo family members who held knives.

At this time, they already knew that the head of the family and Erlang were dead, and they were also falsely accused of being thieves by the county lieutenant.

They were all people who followed Guo Wanjin to do slave trading and coinage business, and they were forced into this situation again, when the families of those gentry crowded in front of the county government and shouted and made trouble, there were Guo family members who slashed down with a knife.

"Killed.

"How dare you do it?!"

"Gao Chong is the opposite!

"Take down Cui Instigation, Zheng Wei and others.....

Gao Chong must speed up and press them down one by one and get to the dock as soon as possible.

At the docks, the husbands gathered more and more.

Xue Bai stood at the bow of the boat, his eyes swept over, knowing that most of them were bitter, pulling fibers, moving goods, stepping on the icy frozen soil in the cold weather with bare feet, and they were accidentally swallowed by the river.

After living so hard, it is inevitable that they will form gangs and watch and help each other. Some of them are brave and fierce, and naturally they will also take on other jobs.

In short, these cowards are very complicated, some are honest, and some are vicious.

Xue Bai didn't come to distinguish between good and bad today, but asked the water and land transfer envoys to deal with some of the accumulated disadvantages of Cao Yun.

Therefore, Xue Bai asked Quanfu to take Yibo to Luoyang and talked about the matter with Du Youlin in detail.

Yin Liang took out an account book.

This is the tax book of Yingxiantou Wharf, which Xue Bai took away in front of Li San'er that day.

The reason why he was able to take it away was because others felt that Xue Bai wanted to investigate Gao Chong's smuggling case, anyway, it was not in the account book, so it didn't hurt to take it away. However, Xue Bai and Yin Liang found something else in it.....

"The Datang transfer envoy is here!

Du Youlin also got up, stood on the bow of the boat and looked at the boatman along the river, and every time he said a word, someone shouted out for him.

"This official is here to investigate a big case!"

As soon as these words came out, the boatmen on the shore talked a lot, and they all felt that it was for Li San'er's death.

But what Du Youlin said was not the case at all.

"In the twenty-fifth year of Kaiyuan, Guangyuntan was newly built, and the grain of Jianghuai arrived in Chang'an by waterway, and the sage was happy, and ordered that every two million stones of grain were transported, and the workers were given two thousand yuan. However, since his arrival, the official has visited Caogong and said that he has not received any reward for more than 20 years.......

Naturally, someone on the ship used simpler and clearer words to spread Du Youlin's words, and there were also people on the shore who explained.

The emotions of the workers were mobilized in this short moment, and there were many discussions.

After a long time, someone shouted, "Let the transporter speak!" Let the transporter speak! ”

After that, it was Xue Bai who spoke.

"I am Xue Bai, the newly appointed Yanshi Lieutenant, and the sage asked me to come to Henan to take a look and ask you! For every three miles of land, you can get two cents, and you can buy five cakes for fifteen miles a day...... Are you well fed? Li San'er died, and he finally had the opportunity to talk to these Cao Gong.

It's a pity that some of the tyrants are not dead, and he can't talk to the tenants for the time being, they will only be tricked and beaten with hoes and whistles to beat him, the new county lieutenant.

"County lieutenant, the villain still has a wife and children!

"Villains can't pull fifteen miles every day!"

"For every ten cents you get, you have to pay a penny.......

In the end, the words of the workers were combined into one sentence.

"Can't get enough to eat!

"Can't get enough to eat!

"Can't get enough to eat!

In the crowd, Zhuang Asi turned his head to look and looked for Li San'er's most loyal group of subordinates, who could eat enough. Because the help fee is given to them, they also have another income for smuggling.

How to say it, people manage people layer by layer, and naturally the more they are on top, the more they eat, which is really normal.

It's just that Li San'er is dead, and the rules are out of order.

Zhuang Ah Si beckoned the little ditch heads and said, "Xue Bai wants to buy people's hearts, don't let him ......

On the boat, Xue Bai said: "The official knows that you can't eat enough, where did the sage's reward for the cao workers go?" Who ate half of the wages of Caogong's three cents a mile? Who did the help money go to? For this reason, the transfer envoy was invited to investigate the matter thoroughly!

"Thoroughly!

"Thoroughly!"

can share the money, and the workers are coaxing.

What is the help fee? It's just that in order to earn a living, the bitter haha people get together to make trouble and beg for money, and those who contribute more get an extra share.

Over the years, Li San'er has been collecting fees, but he has never seen him make trouble with the government, but has become closer and closer to the county officials.

The Cao workers were dissatisfied at first, and after more than a dozen people died, gradually everyone forgot the original intention of the Cao Gang.

Zhuang Ah Si spoke again, but those few small ditch heads couldn't hear it, he couldn't help but be annoyed, and secretly said that if there was a big bow, he would simply shoot Du Youlin and Xue Bai at this time.

Finally quieted down.

Du Youlin said: "Silence! When the official first came, the sky was not yet dawn, and the city had not yet entered, but the official promised that he would wait for you to have a better way to live. Tonight, you will first nominate 12 people to board the ship and explain your situation in detail! ”

The scene became even more chaotic.

"Old Bingtou, you go!

"Old Pitch Head..

On the big boat, someone ran to the side and shouted at the shore: "I am also Qu Shuai, don't you promote me?" I'm Ren Mulan!

There are still Cao Gong who know her.

"Xiaoqutou is righteous enough, I will recommend her!

Zhuang Ah Si gradually felt a feeling of discouragement during the war.

Of course, it wasn't just a few words that could make Xue Bai subdue the hearts of the Cao workers, how could it be so easy?

He turned his head to the little canals and said, "Gather the people, and I'll go to do things for the county first." ”

They all listened to my brother and left.

A small ditch raised his head and kicked on the foot of a cao worker, scolding: "Still listening?!" The dog officer deceives. ”

The worker glanced back, scratched his head and followed.

Zhuang Ah Si originally planned to bring another one or two hundred people to support, but now that the situation was chaotic, he didn't dare to delay, and only took more than thirty people to rush to Yingxian Gate.

Song Mian did not return to Luhun Villa, because Song Li suddenly jumped out of the carriage, he knew that this younger brother must have caused trouble, and decided to stay and clean up the mess for him.

It was night, and there was chaos in the city.

Song Mian ignored this, read a book in his hand, and planned to go to bed early.

Until a servant came in a panic and hurriedly took him to see a corpse in the streets and alleys west of the city.

"Hachiro?

Song Mian was stunned for a moment, looked at Song Li's bloody lower body, looked around again, and muttered, "Zhang Sanniang killed?"

"Looks like it should be, otherwise...... You can't insult Hachiro like that...... Woo! Hachiro!

"Stop howling.

Song Mian stopped the servant, no matter how she looked at this situation, she had already inferred in her heart that as long as Zhang Sanniang was fake, it should be her doing.

"Take it away.

"Whoa."

The corpse was lifted, Song Mian's eyes suddenly narrowed, and he grabbed the torch and walked over, only to see that Song Li actually covered a blood word with his hand before he died, and the word "high" that had not been written.

But it is possible for anyone to write this word, and it is also possible for Zhang Sanniang to frame Gao Chong.

Song Mian had a banquet with Gao Chong and Wei Ji not long ago, and he shared some benefits......

"How did the eighth brother get lost?"

"At that time, there was a little woman chasing and killing Guo Erlang...... By the time the villains reacted, Hachiro had already chased far away. ”

Song Mian repeatedly asked many details, and at the end, he checked the body again and noticed that it was a knife wound, two knives in the lower body, two knives in the heart, and one knife above the shoulder, directly cutting off the shoulder blade, which should have been cut by someone who was taller than Song Li and had great strength.

"What weapon did the little woman use?"

"It's a sword, the villain is sure it's a sword."

Song Mian was stunned for a moment, and another servant reminded him: "Lang Jun, Gao Xiancheng has already killed many people tonight, and they all say that he is going to rebel."

Outside the county office, Gao Chong was almost about to suppress the situation.

As he said, those gentry were so weak that they lost the courage to make trouble at the sight of blood.

However, he gradually had a feeling of putting out fires. The bigger the incident, the more people will oppose him.

He has actually realized that he was able to get the support of everyone before, that is, he could earn them dark money. The fact that making dark money is too flamboyant is naturally scary, but it is really difficult to ride a tiger.

"Sublime! Why did you kill my brother?! ”

Suddenly, Song Mian also rushed over with his family, and the gentry who had shrunk their heads were clamoring again.

As soon as Gao Chong heard it, he understood what the other party was thinking - it was just a small crime of sharing the spoils, and it was also a loss to Song Mian who hurriedly ran to kill him.

These despicable and shameless selfish people will only praise the high and the low.

One by one, Gao Chong was finally furious.

At this point, he came up fiercely and vowed to deter these people. If he really rebels, none of them will please him. Then he can go to the side, but they can't leave.

"Let's go, go to the arsenal!

He had already sent a good hand to the arsenal, and he could rob more than 100 pairs of armor bows and arrows in the arsenal, which was enough to control Yanshi County.

"Go to the arsenal!

At the same time, Lu Linghao's house.

Lu Linghao, who was resting from illness, was not sick, and was pacing anxiously, listening to the news reported by Yuan Yiheng, a staff member who came back from Luoyang.

"When I arrived in Luoyang, Wei Fuyin was already preparing to come to Yanshi.......

Yuan Yiheng had a slightly bitter smile on his face, and said eloquently: "This time, the imperial court is very determined to eliminate the remnants of the demon thieves.

After all, it was an assassination case. ”

"Really."

"Yes, Du Zhuan has already led some of the men to Yanshi first."

When Lu Linghao heard it, he didn't know how many people Du Youlin had, so he couldn't help but be shocked, regretting that he had just listened to Gao Chong's words.

At this time, there was also bad news.

"County Zun, it's not good! Gao Xiancheng led people to rob the arsenal! ”

"What?

Lu Linghao's face was as frightened as earth.

It wasn't until he was forced to this point that he finally realized that he had to do something.

"Mingfu." Yuan Yiheng said: "Please ask the Ming Mansion to issue an order, ordering the guards to guard the arsenal and kill Gao Chong." ”

"But he has a husband...

"There is Du Gong here! Please ask the Ming Mansion to issue another order to the dock to appease Caofu! ”

Yuan Yiheng knew that the key was not that Du Youlin was at the dock, but that Xue Bai was at the dock.....

The wind blew the noise in Yanshi County to the Luo River.

The lanterns on the pier have all been lit, and the bonfires on the shore have also been lit.

Twelve people have been elected. Although a few people recognized Ren Mulan and were willing to nominate her, the number was too small, and she was ultimately defeated.

After the twelve people boarded the ship, they first talked to Xue Bai.

"I am the new Yanshi County Lieutenant, and I have been in office for more than half a month, so I have a chance to meet you tonight." Although Xue Bai was smiling, he had an official authority on his body, "I hope it won't be too late."

If he could, he should have intervened in Caoyun earlier, because the core of his entire plan to seize power was to dismantle Caogong.

Where does the sublime power come from? With An Lushan as his backer, he made profits because of smuggling, and his power and money enabled him to fight up and down, and the Cao Gang was the basis of his force.

To break this basis of force, greater power and money are needed.

So Xue Bai lied, saying that the sage sent him to investigate the case, but in fact, he said that "I want to go and see for the sage" is just following Li Longji's fantasy that "I don't go out of the customs for ten years, and there is nothing in the world". Fortunately, no one can debunk this lie for the time being, and now is the time when it is the most deterrent.

With the emperor's order in the background, plus Du Youlin, the deputy envoy in charge of Cao Yun, this is Xue Bai's power, but it is not enough, the plan must be implemented, and two people must be killed - Guo Wanjin and Li San'er.

Guo Wanjin is as his name suggests, get rid of him, and Xue Bai can confiscate his ill-gotten wealth as a money bag to buy Caogong.

Li San'er has to get rid of it, as long as this Qu Shuai lives for one day, he will not give Xue Bai any chance to contact Cao Yun. A few days ago, Xue Bai just went to the dock Tianjin Bureau to check the accounts of Chief Sun, and Li San'er came out immediately, how could he be allowed to put his hand into Caoyun?

Let the secret house rob Zhang Sanniang, raid the dark house, kill Guo Wanjin, provoke Gao Chong to move, trap Li San'er, and drive the gentry to drag Gao Chong, Xue Bai took this opportunity to play the banner of Du Youlin to win over Cao Gong.

This is the whole plan, and the key is only three steps, creating evidence, getting rid of key people, and dividing and co-opting.

The core lies in winning over the Cao Gong, who are not only the cornerstone of noble force, but also the easiest to win over.

If it is said that the gentry of Yanshi County control half of the fields, they are the masters; The laborers, farmers, and cultivators are slaves, and they are actually the other half of the masters.

The laborers were more concentrated and fierce than the tenants; More determined than the gentry, and not as big an appetite as the gentry.

Of course, it was impossible for Xue Bai to make all the four thousand Cao workers in Yanshi County stand on his side overnight, as long as they stopped supporting Gao Chong, it was enough.

The time left for him was very short, only the time between Li San'er was dead and Gao Chong had not yet reacted.

Having said that, Xue Bai still behaved very calmly, he glanced at the twelve people, and first made a noise without hurrying.

Most of the twelve people were more realistic ditch heads or boat owners who took over the work for the workers, except for one old man who was not.

"The little old man's surname is Bing, and the county lieutenant can call 'Lao Bingtou', Yanshi, and he is the county office's household Cao Counter."

"Elder Bing is a county clerk, why is he still on the dock at night?"

Xue Bai chose to come at night, that is, to avoid the noble manpower as much as possible, most of the county officials and businessmen went into the city to rest at night, and as soon as the official ship of the transfer envoy came, the lights shone on, and all the people who gathered were bitter haha, these are the people who did not get the benefits from Caoyun, and they could be bought in an instant.

They elect people to be trustworthy in their daily character.

Lao Bingtou said: "The little old man, his wife and children are gone, so he lives next to the Tianjin Bureau, and he heard a lot of movement at night, so he came over."

Xue Bai asked, "Is Caogong under your control?" ”

"Back to the county lieutenant, Caogong does not belong to the government, and spontaneously recommends people to take the job. If it is said that they are in charge, they are also the people, and they are under the control of the county order.

"Is there a special Cao bureau in the county?"

Lao Bing stroked his sparse beard and responded: "In the past, the imperial court had a boat bureau to manage the Cao Zheng, and the three Bi Qian were in charge, and the transfer envoy was in charge of the program, not involving the specific workers pulling the boat. ”

What Xue Bai wanted to ask was whether Lu Linghao had set up someone to manage Cao Yun, and when he said this, he knew that there was no more, and Cao Yun was completely in Gao Chong's hands.

His eyes fell on Lao Bingtou's ragged clothes and asked, "How are Old Bing and Master Sun getting along?"

"Ugh." Lao Bingtou sighed first and said: "The imperial court transfers grain from Luoyang to Chang'an every year, and the fee for recruiting cao boats, for every thousand guan, Sun is in charge of giving Li San'er 500 guan, and Li San'er will select the cao fu to transport, so the cao workers all listen to Li San'er's words. ”

can answer like this, it can be seen that this old man has seen something, and knows that Xue Bai and Li San'er are not dealing with each other.

It was probably after understanding the situation in this way that Xue Bai began to convey his thoughts.

"Du Gong and I are both from Chang'an, and the sage cares about you very much, and instructs Du Gong to be kind to Cao Gong. I took the opportunity to ask Du Gong to come to Yanshi County first.

"Good! Du Gong, the county lieutenant is very kind! ”

"First of all, what we need to do is to increase the income of Cao Gong, ten yuan a day, and I can only barely make ends meet, not to mention that most Cao Gong can not earn ten yuan a day, and the prosperous era cannot make people unable to live."

These people can only earn five loaves a day fifteen miles a day, what kind of mood do they continue to suffer, Xue Bai actually can't understand, if it were him, he would have rebelled a long time ago.

He didn't just talk about this matter, but he had already asked Yin Liang to make a whole plan.

"The money that the sage rewarded to Caogong before, Du Gong will also check its whereabouts, and the county will make up for Caogong."

"The county lieutenant is saying.... Send money? ”

"Well, do you know that there is a giant businessman Guo Wanjin on the Cao River? This person plundered good people, smuggled and smuggled, and was taken down by the county order. The transfer department and the county office plan to take out money from the confiscated family wealth to make up for it. There are two ways to send it to the workers, one is to increase the wages, and the other is to redivide the fields, so that those who have pulled the fiber because they have lost their fields can go back to farming, and the rest of the people will receive more money. ”

"Let's talk about the salary first, score the travel and reverse travel, our Yanshi is pulling the section of the road from Luoyang to the estuary, one mile and two dollars in the river, and one mile and three dollars in the countercurrent, I will at least guarantee that the government's wages will go to the Cao workers."

No one went back to sleep, so they all gathered on the shore and waited.

It took a long time before the official ship dared to dock.

The twelve people came down from the official ship, and each of them beckoned his subordinates on the dock to convey the meaning they wanted to convey by the transfer department and the county office.

"Don't worry, Duke Du has just arrived."

"The increase in wages is certain, Guo Wanjin has raided his house, and Li San'er has been killed."

"The saints are all personally concerned, isn't the determination of the imperial court still great?"

"One mile and two dollars? Isn't that three times as much?! Thrice?! ”

"Four or five times when you go against the current?!"

"The key is for everyone to cooperate...

At the same time, Du Youlin also stood at the bow of the ship and promised, and sent people to loudly preach the new policy.

Fortunately, although the rule of officials has begun to deteriorate, the imperial court still has prestige, and the workers believe it with the guarantee of transshipment.

I'm afraid that even the credit of the imperial court has collapsed.

Little by little, time passed.

It took more time to explain the policy to thousands of workers than to kill people, until the morning light faintly rose from the lower reaches of Luoshui in the east.

And some of Gao Chong's officials and staff finally rushed over, they lived in the city, and they had been staring at the investigation of the "fake Zhang Sanniang case" at night, and they didn't care about the wharf before, and they didn't understand the changes that had taken place on the wharf.

A few officials had to gather more people to help Gao Chong in the county seat.

"Listen!

"Quiet! Listen to me, there are demon thieves pretending to be the royal family and attacking the county office, and now the county is recruiting you to catch the demon thief, and each person will be rewarded with ten dollars afterwards, and a fist is equivalent to fifteen miles of fiber, and the strong and loyal stand up! ”

The voice also reached the official ship.

Xue Bai hoped to convince the Cao Gong to no longer be dominated by the noble, but unfortunately, the time left for him was too short.

Gao Chong and Li San'er have used the profits of smuggling and gangs to share the profits of Xiaoqutou and deter Caogong, and have been in business for many years; Xue Bai only had the opportunity in the middle of the night, and he could only promise them three to four times the salary.

Whatever the outcome, there is no room for retreat.

"Do you know, why did the imperial court kill Li San'er? Because Guo Wanjin, Li San'er, and Gao Chong are the masterminds of the Lishan assassination case, they are guilty of rebellion! The saint only punishes the head of the thief, provided that you can't help the abuse! ”

"Guo Wanjin and Li San'er are dead, and only by resisting stubbornly and removing this cancer can the workers live a good life.

One side is the county minister, the other side is the county lieutenant and the deputy envoy of land and water transfer, and the two sides accuse each other, saying that the other party is guilty, or "pretending to be the emperor" and "plotting rebellion" and other major crimes.

What Gao Chong needed was for Cao Gong to help, and Xue Bai only needed them to stay still; Gao Chong had more manpower to control the Caogong, and Xue Bai promised greater benefits.

Although the workers were more organized than the tenants, they were in fact a rabble. If only one voice is okay, and the orders of the two county officials are pressed together, they really don't know what to do.

After arguing for a long time, Yuan Yiheng also arrived.

He pushed through the crowd and squeezed towards the big boat, and finally found Xue Bai.

Xue Bai learned from Zhao Liu, the concierge of the county office, that Yuan Yiheng was sent to Luoyang, so he sent someone to intercept him.

And Yuan Yiheng was able to persuade because taking the dead Guo Wanjin for the crime was most in line with the interests of most of the powerful people in Yanshi County, and only lost the noble interests, Yuan Yiheng, as a county commander, could see this clearly.

"County lieutenant, something happened!

"Mr. Yuan is here.

Yuan Yiheng hurriedly said: "Gao Chong has led people to rob the arsenal, but I'm afraid that the guards won't be able to hold it!" ”

"After all, the county commander is the head of a county, and he can't mobilize more people?

"The Ming Mansion is just an official, how can it be compared to Gao Chong's ruthlessness in a rebellion?" Yuan Yiheng, as a staff member, also knows Lu Linghao very well, "At the last moment, I still think about the mud, and the Ming Mansion can't stop it!"

"Is there an official document?

"Brought it." Yuan Yiheng hurriedly took out the paperwork, "The Ming Mansion has ordered to arrest the thief Gao Chong." ”

"It's 'hunting.'" Xue Bai said: "You and Du Gong are here, conveying the official document of the county order to Caogong...... Also, what about my people?

"I was taken from the post house to the county jail."

Yuan Yiheng understood what Xue Bai meant, and directly handed over Fa Cao's talisman, and said, "The Ming Mansion requires that the incident be eliminated as soon as possible."

"Okay."

Lu Linghao's attitude has long been said, the county captain and the county lieutenant, whoever does it again is a thief.

Xue Bai put down his knife here, but Gao Chong still had to rob the arsenal, and Lu Linghao had to be angry if he didn't have a temper.

At this point, the benefits given to the workers were promised in the name of the transfer envoys, and the official documents of the highest magistrate of a county were also available, and the gentry were willing to let Gao Chongyi take the blame.

Xue Bai planned to take Lao Liang and Xue Xian away, but Du Shi directly followed him with two disciples of Gongsun Auntie.

Dressed in red, she looks like a swordsman, but she doesn't know martial arts.

"You stay.

"I brought those people, and I have to go."

Xue Bai said: "It's more important to stay and help your grandfather win over the workers." ”

"Sister can do this better."

Xue Bai then shook Du Shi's hand, and wanted to talk about the arson of the building she encountered in the post house, but when she met her ambitious eyes, she didn't mention it again, but whispered: "I want a living noble." ”

"Why?

"You'll find out later.

The city gate was in chaos, and the guards guarding the city gate were Lu Linghao's people, and Gao Chong also sent people to seize the gate. In the city, there are both gentry and Guo families who rushed over.

Instead of cleaning up this mess, it is better to capture the thief and capture the king first, Xue Bai simply went straight to the county office.

Gao Chong took his henchmen to seize the arsenal, and the county office was watched by the officers at this time.

"County lieutenant.

Zhao Liu saw Xue Bai from afar, and hurriedly ran up, saying, "Meng Wu has defected to Gao Chong, and he has led people to guard the county office." ”

"What about Qi Chou and Shiba Dog? I asked them to bring them back. ”

"County Lieutenant."

In the alley on the other side, Qi Chou and Shiba Dog stepped forward and said, "We have been waiting at the county office." ”

"Get in.

Xue Bai didn't say a word, sorted out his official uniform and hurried into the county office.

Ahead, Meng Wu led the messengers to meet him and said, "County Lieutenant Xue, you are involved in the 'fake Zhang Sanniang case'........

"Xue Xian!"

Xue Xian strode forward, pulled out his knife, and slashed down.

Meng Wu was still talking, but before he could react, he was directly knocked to the ground.

Xue Xian killed someone, looked down at Meng Wu deeply, and knew that it was not a big crime to take refuge in the county as an errand soldier, but there was no way, there was only one team leader in a county.

Fighting for power is not a game.

"Look?

Qi Chou and Meng Wu have worked together in the county office for many years, seeing that he was killed with a knife, there was no sadness, only fear, and shouted: "Gao Chong rebelled, the big ships of Henan Mansion have arrived at the dock!" I don't want to be an accomplice to get out of the way! If you want to make meritorious contributions, follow the county lieutenant!

When he said this, he was faster than Xue Bai raised the talisman.

Xue Bai then threw the talisman to him and led people straight to the county prison.

Aunt Gongsun was not in the county jail, she was placed in the guild hall for temporary surveillance, and Xue Bai did not plan to let them in again.

In the county jail, Shi Zhong and his men were still locked up, and they didn't even have time to be arraigned.

There is also Choi Youfu, who is trying to plot against the jailers.

"I am the descendant of the Boling Cui clan, Gao Chong is crazy to dare to take me, and you also want to confer the head with him...... Xue Bai? You weren't burned?

Pimp!

Arsenal.

"Open."

There was a "bang", and the chain fell to the ground.

"Where are your knives?

"Taken away by the exalted."

Xue Bai then asked Qi Chou to pay more than 20 knives from the officers, and the rest took water and fire sticks.

At this time, Gao Chong probably still had more than 200 troops, but he didn't know if those gentry could stop him from seizing the east of the county.

Several groups of people were fighting in a mess.

"What about the prefectural order?!

Cui was so anxious that his mouth was dry.

He had already urged Lu Linghao to take down Gao Chong, and he made the first move to be strong and unexpected. dragged on until now, it is passive everywhere. There are more than 30 guards in the county, and they have not been trained for a long time, and they have to guard the arsenal and city gates, and the most damned thing is to guard Lu Linghao's house.

On the other hand, Gao Chong, arrogant and arrogant, said to kill people, and at this time, several people had already fallen in the pool of blood in front of him

"The county order....... the county order has gone to watch the Beijing Gate."

"What?

"The county order asks the princes to avoid it first, and the gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall."

Cui instigated: "Gao Chong is going to seize the arsenal!" He has seized the arsenal, who can control him?

"The county order has sent guards, and it has also appeased the Cao Gong, and it will also ask for instructions from Henan Mansion and the imperial court."

"Just these guards? He ......"

"Cui Gong, retreat!

Cui instigated that the officials from other towns were like this, seeing that the situation was not good, they were ready to save their lives at any time, anyway, their ancestral tombs were not here.

The next moment, because someone died again, his family was defeated, and Cui was helpless, so he turned around and fled.

Neither side is a soldier, and in comparison, smugglers and human traffickers are indeed more vicious than the family members who oppress farmers.

This is also Gao Chong's greatest reliance.

Gao Chong sneered, pointed in the direction where Song Mian was, and said, "Kill them." ”

Looking at this situation, it is certain that it will be possible to suppress the chaos of the Yanshi, and it depends on how to calm the situation.

If he said that there was such a big mess tonight, and he could hide it from the court, others would definitely not believe it.

But in fact, after the Wei Jian case, there were many riots in Jianghuai that were much more serious than tonight, and they were just hidden

Finish. The officials covered it up layer by layer, and the people invited the people to go to Chang'an to sue the emperor, and finally made a big case of "wild and virtuous", did the emperor investigate?

I can't check it.
