Chapter 108: Cutting the Grass and Eradicating the Roots
Hu Can, the head of the Hu family, is dead, and the Hu family is finished.
Li San, who attacked from behind, rushed into the completely defenseless Hu family with people, and the reluctant Hu family could only feel the steel knife behind them in despair.
The screams, begging for mercy, screams and cursing of the female dependents were endless, and the Hu family was dying in the main hall of the Hu family.
However, there were some lucky ones who took advantage of the chaos to escape.
The backyard didn't know what it looked like to be ruined by Li San, and the men and women who survived could only run to the main entrance.
Who would have thought that the rude soldiers who were the most annoying had become the only life-saving straw that could be grasped.
"Brother Jiu, will the military man outside the door really save us?" The twelve-year-old girl asked her cousin who was carrying her to the front door with a confused face.
"Don't worry, Sister Ling, the third uncle is the Langzhong of the household department, we are officials, they will definitely take care of it, definitely, definitely!" The seventeen-year-old ninth brother carried her tired and didn't want to speak, but the cousin, who also escaped but was missing a small arm, answered the question for his nephew.
not only answered Sister Ling, but also answered everyone who escaped.
Sure enough, although the few people who also escaped next to him didn't say a word, they could clearly feel that their steps were faster and firmer.
The Hu family was not big, and several people quickly ran to the front door, only to find that the gate was half-open, and the heavy responsibility that was made nervous by the rebellion of the guards stopped in place vigilantly. Today's curfew, the front door is obviously closed!
I was about to go to the porter, but I heard a burst of shouts and killings behind me, which frightened the last descendants of the Hu family to no longer care about anything, and escaped first.
As soon as he went out, he was able to get into a team of military men who stood at the door of his house in a daze, and the few surviving people immediately breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly ran to the military men.
"Help, general, save us!"
"We belong to the Hu family, the third master of our family is Langzhong of the household department, we are official dependents, come and protect us!"
The Hu family, who grabbed the life-saving straw, no longer had the firm breath they had when they escaped, and collapsed on the street without any image, wearing a big mouthful of clothes, like a lost dog.
There is absolutely no doubt at all why this army is just standing on their doorstep.
"Boy, let me ask you, what's going on inside?" The leader suddenly spoke out to the tired and dead dog-like boy lying on the ground, and he was the closest to him.
"General. Call. The nursing home is against the sky. Rush into the lobby and kill people when you see them."
"Brother Jiu! Brother Jiu, stop talking! The little girl named Sister Ling hurriedly stopped her cousin from speaking, and helped him up, letting him lean on her body and pat her cousin's back with her hand to help him calm down. Brother Jiu is a little better.
Seeing that her cousin no longer coughed and gasped, the little girl breathed a sigh of relief, and looked up at the military man who was asking.
It was not lethal at all, and he ignored the white eyes of this little girl, and his eyes were still indifferent.
"Kill someone you see?" He always asked indifferently as if he didn't have a trace of emotion, and he didn't ask anyone out of his way.
The shouting and killing sound inside the door got closer and closer, but when he was about to go out, it suddenly fell silent.
"They're all dead, so a few of us ran out." At the moment of the great enemy, the cousin, who was the eldest of the few people he had escaped, still took a few deep breaths to calm his mind, and then he replied to the general manager.
"Hmm." He didn't look at him, but kept staring at the half-open gate, on guard against the enemy who might burst out at any moment.
Half of the face sticks out.
Boom!
A white feather arrow hit the eye and sank nearly a third, and the man who stretched out half of his face immediately fell to the ground without a sound.
It is the archers and good shooters assigned by Jia Hui for each team,
There was a commotion behind the door, but no one dared to poke their heads out.
The Hu family ignited hope for revenge.
He was about to step forward and ask this group of soldiers to avenge his family, but he was interrupted by the general with a wave of his hand.
"Let these people go down!" The general waved his hand to his subordinates, and his subordinates understood, and brought the remnants of the Hu family with their own small flags.
Uncle Cousin, who was full of words and couldn't speak, was a little annoyed, but he was stronger than people, there were nearly 100 people standing here, and he even lost a small arm. What's more, the family feud still needs their help to avenge, so they will no longer speak.
The little flag officer helped him from the ground to the ninth brother, who had not recovered yet, and took the Hu family to a small alley.
Uncle Cousin and a few teenagers were uneasy, and they who lived here vaguely remembered that it was a dead end
"This. . . Little brother, where are we going? "Blood has been flowing from the broken arm, and there are many knife wounds on his body at the same time bleeding Uncle Cousin is almost to the limit, a large amount of blood loss made his face pale, drowsy, if not for the two nephews to support, would have fallen to the ground.
The chaotic brain could no longer think, but the uneasiness from his heart still made him cheer up and asked the little flag officer.
The little flag officer suddenly stopped, turned to look at the group of only remaining Hu family descendants, and his indifferent face seemed to suppress anger.
When the task was distributed this afternoon, the chief not only gave them military orders, but also a record of the Hu family's embroidered clothes and guards, which recorded in almost every detail that the Hu family had lost their conscience in the Zhuangzi outside the city, and they took it back after reading it.
There was no more sympathy for their slaughter.
Drawing swords, slashing, screaming, wailing, cursing, begging for mercy.
The little flag officer walked out of the alley with his subordinates, who were splattered with blood.
There were a few fewer people in the line and a few more corpses in the alley.
Back in the ranks, the little flag officer came to the general manager to return to his life.
"Dead?" The general drew a knife and looked at the door of the Hu family.
"I didn't leave a whole corpse." The little flag officer replied.
The total nodded.
"The slaves of the Hu family colluded with the White Lotus thief to commit crimes, and slaughtered the master's family with all their conscience, brothers, follow me to quell the rebellion!"
。。。。。。
"It's been almost half an hour, and I guess we've already started to clear those house slaves, right?"
In the back hall of the military department, Jia Yucun, who had not been seen for a long time, was drinking tea with Tan Ji.
Jia Yucun has been in charge of clerical work in the Jiangnan camp recently, but he has been working as a cow and a horse for almost two months, and now he finally has some free time to drink tea with acquaintances.
Tan Ji's face was light, but the trembling hand holding the teacup showed the agitation in his heart.
"No surprise, yes." Jia Yucun is more like an embroidered household than Tan Ji at this time.
"Why is this a great governor? If you have to risk the condemnation of the world and let the thieves slaughter the family and exterminate the clan, these people are the mainstay of the Jiangnan system! If you take it for your own use." Although Tan Ji also despises the appearance of these so-called Jiangnan families, it is a pity to kill people with knives like this.
"What's the pity? Yesterday's cause and today's effect, the evil of one's own creation abused the slaves too harshly, and was it not inevitable that they would be counterattacked? Jia Yucun actually felt that it was a pity to give up the Jiangnan families, but after all, it was Jia Hui's decision, as his benefactor, Jia Yucun only needed to follow Jia Hui's pace closely to do things, and he had nothing to do with him if he preserved these Jiangnan families, and it had nothing to do with him whether he died or not.
Let's pay attention to how much credit this counterinsurgency can bring to Jia Yu Village.
"Thousands of households, Zhenjiang hundreds of households are urgent!" Tan Ji wanted to say something, but the embroidered wrestler who hurriedly ran over drew the attention of the two.
"Urgent? Call in! Tan Ji suddenly stood up and walked quickly towards the door, where several gray-faced embroidered clothes were sitting on the ground, as if they had survived the catastrophe.
"What happened in Zhenjiang?" Tan Ji didn't wait for them to salute, and asked bluntly.
A few embroidered clothes are not kneeling, nor are they getting up, so they can only sit on the ground as they are and report with their heads up:
"Back to the thousand households, tonight, a group of suspected White Lotus disciples dressed in white raided the command envoy Yamen, Liu Commander was seriously injured on the spot, and now the commander Wu Feng and Lord Wu led Zhenjiangwei and the White Lotus Sect are facing off in the city, no one can help anyone before we go out of the city, but more and more White Lotus disciples are gathering in Zhenjiang, Wu Tongzhi and the Lord of the Hundred Households will send a small one to Jinling for help! Lord Qianhu, Zhenjiang is in danger, please let the Metropolitan Governor quickly send troops over to rescue the brothers! Xiao Qi, who replied, looked at Tan Ji's face anxiously, very worried about Zhenjiangwei's safety.
"What? The main force of the White Lotus Thief turned out to be in Zhenjiangwei! Hurry up with me into the lobby and see the Governor! ”
Tan Ji was shocked, grabbed Xiaoqi's arm and ran towards the main hall.
When? White Lotus cultists?
Let's not talk about how long it will take to start the fight and dispatch troops to the confrontation between the two sides, even if it is to run to Jinling from the time the commander is attacked, it can be arrived on horseback for more than an hour at night? Especially since there is no moon tonight!
Not to mention that our official title for the White Lotus Sect is the White Lotus Thief.
Scold!
No matter what he thought in his heart, on the surface, Tan Ji still maintained a look of "I already believed" and dragged the small flag to the main hall.
Hey, these Hawkclaw Suns are so easy to deceive?
Seeing that this so-called embroidered thousand households didn't even confirm and went around the main hall, Xiaoqi suddenly felt that he was about to finish.
"Metropolitan Governor, Zhenjiang Urgent!" Before entering the main hall, Tan Ji shouted towards the main hall.
"Enter, report quickly!" The civil and military officers who were still sitting in the lobby of the military department were attracted by Tan Ji's words, and looked out of the door at the same time.
I saw that the short embroidered Qianhu led a seven-foot man into the house like this, and knelt down on one knee and saluted Jia Hui, the governor of the capital, who was sitting behind the map.
The little flag behind him hurriedly learned from Tan Ji in front of him, and he also knelt down on one knee and bowed his head towards the door to sign up.
It's just that he didn't notice that at the moment when he lowered his head, Tan Ji's left hand suddenly stretched forward and made a strange gesture, and the military attachés suddenly understood, made a silent gesture to the surrounding civil officials, and then sat upright on the chair without any movement.
Seeing the gesture in front of Tan Ji and the gesture of these military attachés not letting them make a sound, the civil officials were confused, turned their heads to look at Jia Hui, and saw that Jia Hui nodded at them, the civil officials pressed the doubts in their hearts and made up their minds and closed their mouths.
"Come in!" Jia Hui's voice reached the ears of the two people outside the door, and the two of them said yes in unison, and then they stood up and entered the lobby of the military department.
"Metropolitan Governor, Zhenjiang is in an emergency, there is a White Lotus Thief who is in trouble on the Zhenjiang Acropolis, and the commander is seriously injured and does not wake up, and now the commander is temporarily commanded by Wu Feng, who is the commander of the same knowledge, and confronts the White Lotus Thief in the city!" Tan Ji reported to Jia Hui.
As soon as Tan Ji's words fell, the entire lobby exploded in an instant.
Zhenjiang is one hundred and forty miles away from Nanjing!
Trouble, trouble, trouble!
Jia Hui, who had known the news for a long time, had the same complexion, still the same as Mount Tai collapsed in front of him and his face did not change. Tan Ji just made a gesture whether this person was meticulous, or let him tell the story before making a decision.
"Really? Let the little flag get up and reply. Jia Hui's words spread throughout the hall, and the sound was not loud, but everyone was quiet.
Xiaoqi now also understands what it means to be a big man.
"Xiaoqi Jiang Zhong of the 100 households in Zhenjiang, meet the governor of the capital!" Jiang Zhong honestly saluted Jia Hui, and then knelt on the ground motionless. Everything he says next must be done with caution.
"When?"
"Wow!"
"When's the time? What kind of situation is it, let's talk about it in detail. ”
"Yes! I remember it very clearly! At that time, the bell was ringing in the lobby of the Hyakyoto House, when I heard a cannon outside the house, and the Lord Hyakunhe ordered me to wait on the roof to investigate. Then I found that there were many people dressed in white with lotus flags and swords and guns to charge the commander's yamen, and it didn't take long for them to run out again, and the inferior people went over to take a look, and found that Zhenjiangwei surrendered from the command, except for Wu Feng, Wu Tongzhi and Zhenjiangwei's three thousand outdoors who went out to patrol.
The Zhenjiang Mansion was also almost captured, if it weren't for Wu Tongzhi and others who arrived in time with their troops, the Zhenjiang Mansion would have to follow in the footsteps of the command of the Yamen.
The next step was the confrontation between the brothers of Zhenjiangwei and the White Lotus Sect in the government office, but there were constantly people in white clothes in the city who gathered on the side of the White Lotus Sect, and nearly 50,000 people had gathered here! Wu Tongzhi and our hundred households sent us to Jinling to rescue!
Governor, Zhenjiang is in danger now, I beg you, please send troops to Zhenjiang to rescue the brothers! After Xiaoqi finished speaking, he fell to his knees on the ground, lying on the ground and no longer daring to look up at Jia Hui.
I always felt that Jia Hui was looking at his neck
The lobby of the military headquarters immediately fell silent.
Jia Hui estimated in his heart that in order to complete this set of procedures in his mouth, even if Wu Tongzhi was replaced by him Jia Hui, it would take less than half an hour from learning that someone had rebelled and began to assemble troops to confront the White Lotus Thief in the mansion, which would have to ignore many details
It is not a matter of command, but that the station of the Zhenjiang Wei army is a little far away from the government in the city
At this time, even some civilian officials from different militaries reacted, this person came over at the right time!
"How can this be true? The White Lotus thief deceives people too much! Where is Feng Tai? ”
Everyone was thinking in their hearts, and most of the governors took the case, looking very angry.
"The last general, Feng Tai, is here!" Feng Tai, who was sitting in the chair, hurriedly stood up and threw his hand towards Jia Hui.
"Quickly assemble the firearms battalion and the Jiangnan battalion with 30,000 regular soldiers in front of the emperor's gate!"
"The last general obeys!" Feng Tai didn't say much, and hurriedly walked out of the lobby of the military headquarters and went to the square in front of the palace to select troops.
