Chapter 39: Lack of Greed
The villages and Zhuangzi around the county town all walked around to step on a little, and they all wrote down the villages and Zhuangzi that were not particularly well-guarded.
After that, whether it was stealing or robbing, in short, they were determined that they would not let the natives who had taken them as thieves go unscathed.
Originally, they planned to pick a few and rich Zhuangzi tonight to do a vote first, snatch out the food that those big dog families were hoarding, and grab some gold, silver and jewelry by the way, to prepare for returning to their hometown in the future.
Those who are honest and settle down just want to take a few breaths of this aroma, and those who love fantasy are just hoping that the Meng family can give them some soup tomorrow with the bones they don't want, but those homeless people who gathered because of the same evil smell, they did not hesitate to choose the Meng family as their goal tonight to "do the right thing for heaven, rob the rich and help the poor".
They mingled among the homeless people who were intoxicated and inhaling the aroma, and cursed the Meng family through gritted teeth.
"Damn, Lao Tzu can't even eat, but they, big dogs, can eat meat and gluttony us across a wall, is there any goddamn reason in this world!"
"That's it, what else do you say is a good man surnamed Meng, a good man with bullshit!"
"If you want me to say that these big dogs don't have a good thing! What do you say to help the victims, but it turns out that what they don't want is not what they don't want! ”
"The rice is moldy, and some of them are mixed with pebbles, phew! What a fucking loss of conscience! ”
“......”
They were scolding there, and even if they heard different opinions, they didn't dare to raise them, after all, there were many, many lessons from the past, and they didn't want to follow in the footsteps of their predecessors and die miserably with their families.
Enough of the scolding, the leading few homeless people were finally willing to wander back to the grove to discuss their plan of action for the night.
They kept their henchmen outside the woods, and did not allow other homeless people to come close.
What the few homeless people who thought they were acting secretly didn't know was that Yu Zizhen knew about their plan no later than themselves.
After eating and drinking, he wrote a few big characters with Yaoguang and Yuheng, and Yu Zizhen, who was "unwell", entered the house early, washed and rested.
In order to take care of her work and rest time, Mr. Jiang and the others also slept earlier than usual this night.
A group of people slept from the beginning of the day (7 p.m.) to the end of the day (1 a.m.), and one of the guards in charge of the guard hurriedly woke up Mr. Jiang, who was sleeping in the east wing of the front yard of Mengjiazhuang.
Although the Meng family gave up the front yard and the second courtyard, as polite and educated overnight people, Yu Zizhen and Mr. Jiang did not occupy the room that originally belonged to the Meng family's father and son.
They tacitly chose the east wing of the second courtyard and the front yard, and the others either lived with them or divided the west wing and the inverted seat room of the two courtyards.
The two teams of guards in charge of guarding, they live in the inverted seat room in the front yard, but they do not sleep together like others, but each team is responsible for patrolling the front yard and the second courtyard of Mengjiazhuang for two and a half hours.
As for the east-west courtyard, there are people from the capital who live there, and their safety is not under the control of the guards of the Zhenbei Palace. The soldiers they bring with them will be responsible for the vigilance and patrol on their side.
Hearing that something was wrong outside, the guard jumped up the wall to observe the situation outside.
With this observation, the homeless people who rushed to Mengjiazhuang were all in front of them.
"Mr. Jiang, there is a group of homeless people outside, there are about eight or nine hundred people, all of them are armed with sticks, shovels, etc., and it is obvious that the people who come are not good."
When the guards returned, the sound of those homeless people slamming the door came simultaneously outside Mengjiazhuang.
Mr. Jiang said to the guards while putting on his robe: "Go and call your leader, and ask him to organize people to protect Zhuangzi immediately!" ”
The guard answered "yes", and then immediately went to the west wing and the inverted room to pat the door and window.
The leader of the guards and the rest of the guards quickly got up, put on their shoes, took up their weapons and rushed out of the house.
At the same time, Mr. Jiang also sent two other chiefs to report to the people from the capital who crossed the east and west courtyards.
Eight or nine hundred people, if they don't deal with it well, these guards in their team are afraid that there will inevitably be personnel losses.
"You stay to protect the prince and Mr. Jiang, and the others come with me!" The leader of the guards raised his arms and shouted, except for the ten-person team that was signaled by him with gestures and arranged the task to stay behind, the other guards immediately followed his footsteps and rushed towards the main gate and side gate of Mengjiazhuang.
One main gate, two side gates, and the high courtyard walls were weak points that were easy to break, and the leader of the guards commanded his two lieutenants as he ran forward, "Deter with bows and arrows first, and kill a group of others to be honest." ”
One of the deputies hesitated to remind his leader, "We'...... Shoot civilians? ”
The leader of the guards took a deep breath, "It's not civilians, it's rioters. ”
Du Minghuo attacked the local squire's Zhuangzi, and the head of the guard did not dare to treat them as weak.
He said: "If you can't scare them in the first place, when they break into the courtyard, we guards will be the first to suffer." ”
Killing red-eyed homeless people doesn't care if you are a court official or a palace guard, in all dynasties, there are so many mud legs that overthrow the old dynasty and kill all the emperors and nobles of the previous dynasty that they can't be counted on one hand.
Death for oneself or death for others is a multiple-choice question that is easy to answer.
As soon as the leader of the guards said this, his two deputies immediately tightened the strings in their heads.
The two of them each led a team of guards to guard the side gate, and the leader of the guards led more guards to guard the main gate.
The main gate was the key target of those displaced people, and when the head of the guards led people over, they had already smashed the main gate of Mengjiazhuang to pieces.
Seeing that those homeless people were about to break in, the leader of the guards decisively ordered, "Release the arrows!" ”
Whoosh, a rain of arrows shot straight at the surging homeless people at the moment when the gate crashed to the ground.
Stubble of displaced people kept falling like leeks, and the corpses piled up a hill at the gate of Mengjiazhuang.
Hundreds of people died, and the displaced people behind finally realized that they were afraid.
No matter how much the displaced people led by them coerced and lured, those displaced people who were used as cannon fodder by them refused to continue to move forward.
Seeing that rushing over was death, and retreating was death, those homeless people simply dispersed in a hurry, no longer circling around the few homeless people led by them.
Although the first few homeless people also have some henchmen, it is difficult to stop the other homeless people with them alone.
After a while, the displaced people who were driven by their interests to keep moving forward disappeared into the vast night.
