Outside the Ordnance Bureau, Mao Xiang stopped far away with a team of guards, and Tao Youqing was set up next to him.

After all, Tao Youqing is injured, and he is not very smooth to walk, so it would be a waste of time for him to run such a long way, even if he can persevere.

"Go ahead."

Mao Xiang said in the direction of the Ordnance Bureau.

The two guards let go of their hands, and Tao Youqing stumbled under his feet, and finally stabilized his body.

"Yes, yes, the villain will pass."

Tao Youqing bowed to Mao Xiang and replied, then dragged his injured body and walked in the direction of the Ordnance Bureau with difficulty.

When he entered the Ordnance Bureau, some acquaintances were surprised and concerned when they saw him like this.

"Steward Tao, what's wrong with you?"

"It's okay, do you want to find Lang Zhong to show you?"

“……”

Tao Youqing was in no mood to explain to these people, and he couldn't explain it, so he waved his hand perfunctorily and continued to walk inside.

As he walked, he looked around, and at the same time thought about how to carry out the task that Mao Xiang had explained.

Walking and walking, suddenly a scream and the sound of begging for mercy came, Tao Youqing turned his head to look, and just saw Xu Yong whipping a craftsman, and suddenly his heart moved, a good opportunity.

Tao Youqing ignored the injuries on his body and walked over quickly.

"Hurry up! It's a procrastination, why don't you see you so slow when eating? ”

Xu Yong scolded while whipping the craftsman fiercely.

After beating the craftsman, he raised his whip again and pointed at the craftsmen around him, warning:

"Give me a little bit of money, don't think about being lazy every day like before!"

The things that Tao Youqing said when he went to Li Wei were somewhat exaggerated, but they were not made out of nothing.

Since Li Wei came to the Ordnance Bureau, most of the things were directly arranged for Lu Ti to do it, and this Xu Yong was marginalized, not only was the oil and water gone, but he also had to nod his head all day long, and even ordinary craftsmen did not dare to scold easily, and later he was directly kicked out by Li Wei.

After Li Wei was demoted, he transferred his relationship back, and he couldn't find Li Wei out of his stomach, so of course he had to take these craftsmen under his knife.

"Stop!"

Tao Youqing dragged his injured body forward, and shouted from afar.

Xu Yong frowned and turned his head, seeing him look like he was covered in bruises, he was slightly startled at first, but then put it aside, so that he would not care about the life or death of this little person.

Although Tao Youqing is secretly a spy found by Mao Xiang, on the surface, he is the steward that Li Wei once promoted, so Xu Yong is also very unkind to him!

"Tao Youqing? You still know that you're back, where have you died in the past few days? ”

Xu Yong didn't ask about his injuries, but he came up and asked him why he was skipping work.

Tao Youqing didn't reply, and directly reprimanded: "Xu Yong, Master Li once ordered that you are not allowed to beat and scold craftsmen, have you forgotten?" He even whipped us again and again! ”

"Master Li? Are you talking about the turtle of the Sect Division? Hahahaha......"

Xu Yong sneered, and then laughed.

A few newly promoted stewards who followed him also laughed.

There are traitors everywhere, and these craftsmen are the same, after Li Wei left, Xu Yong returned, and some people forgot all about Li Wei's favor to them in a blink of an eye for the sake of immediate interests, and switched to Xu Yong's side.

When the surrounding craftsmen heard his words, they all cast their eyes with hidden anger, and even the craftsman who had been beaten and begged for mercy just now was silent.

Some people are ungrateful, and naturally there are also people who are grateful to Li Wei, and these people are still the majority.

"What do you see? Hurry up and get to work, and then be lazy and see that I don't smoke you to death! ”

Xu Yong waved his whip and said viciously.

Everyone dares to be angry but dare not speak, there is no way, this is the reality.

Seeing this, Tao Youqing hurriedly shouted: "Don't be afraid, Master Li said, let's learn to resist, this dog official abuses us so much, everyone beat him out with me!" ”

The surrounding craftsmen were all surprised, and there was a faint surprise, but still no one dared to act rashly.

Tao Youqing saw these people hesitating, and knew that he had to take some practical action, this mission must be done well, this was his last chance to save his life.

Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated, immediately raised all his strength, rushed to Xu Yong and gave him a kick.

Xu Yong was caught off guard, was kicked and staggered, took two steps back to stabilize his figure, and then looked at Tao Youqing with an incredible face.

"You, how dare you hit me?"

The following offenses are committed, this is looking for death, how can this Tao Youqing be so bold today?

Tao Youqing didn't care about so much, kicked him with all his strength, and immediately hurriedly shouted: "Everyone believe me, Master Li said, we must learn to resist, we can't just be beaten and not fight back!" ”

Xu Yong looked around angrily: "I see who dares to resist!" ”

After speaking, he raised his whip and pointed at Tao Youqing: "Come on, hit me!" ”

The new stewards behind him, hearing this, immediately hugged Tao Youqing and surrounded him.

Tao Youqing's face changed greatly, and he shouted again: "Everyone believe me!" ”

"That's what Master Li really said?"

Among the onlookers, a steward who had been promoted by Li Wei stood up and asked.

"I promise with my head, I'll go to Lord Li, that's what he told me!"

Tao Youqing looked at the few people who came up and shouted anxiously.

The craftsman who stood up looked determined and shouted, "Good! Since Master Li said so, then let's fight back and beat this dog official out! ”

This person's voice fell, and someone immediately followed: "Count me in!" ”

"I don't understand anything, I listen to Master Li, he tells me to beat me!"

"That's it, listen to Master Li, the dog officer!"

"Hit ......"

Seeing that someone had taken the lead, for a while, these craftsmen who had been oppressed for so long were suddenly excited, shouting and surrounding.

People are not afraid of hardship, but they are afraid of suffering after tasting the sweetness, when Li Wei was there in the past, they ate well, dressed well, and no one scolded them with a whip when they worked, as long as they were willing to work hard, they could get more if they worked hard.

And now, as soon as Li Wei left, Xu Yong came, not only deducting their food, but also abusing them with a whip every day, how could they bear such a huge gap!

The long-suppressed anger erupted at this moment, and Xu Yong saw that these craftsmen who were usually submissive and dared not speak out when they were beaten suddenly became like this, and he was immediately frightened.

"Don't mess around, the following offenders will be killed if they beat up officials!!"

Xu Yong hurriedly shouted loudly, hoping that these people would calm down.

The stewards who followed him also changed their faces, and they couldn't take care of Tao Youqing anymore, and a few of them looked at the many craftsmen in a circle in horror.

Xu Yong's words were still useful, and many of the people who were rushing up hesitated.

But Tao Youqing couldn't let him get his wish, and as soon as his voice fell, Tao Youqing immediately shouted: "Don't be afraid, everyone has Lord Li to support us, what else is there to fear!" ”

The title of Lord Li seemed to have some kind of magic, and as soon as Tao Youqing's words came out, those who hesitated immediately let go of their scruples and rushed up with a shout.

Xu Yong and the others were shocked, so many craftsmen, one person and one slap could slap him into meat sauce, how could they still have the majesty just now, they immediately hugged their heads and ran to the outside of the Ordnance Bureau, shouting for help while running.

But there are too many craftsmen around, and there are more and more trends, with the shouts of everyone, more people know the situation, and when they heard that Li Wei ordered them to do it, they all had the courage to follow!

"Tell you to whip me!"

The craftsman who was whipped by Xu Yong picked up the whip pulled by Xu Yong and whipped it after him.

Xu Yong was beaten while running, and he screamed when he was pumped, and the other stewards who followed him were already overwhelmed by the crowd.

The people's fists and kicks and whips, and some of them couldn't catch up with the stone, and in just a moment, they beat him to a bruised nose and swollen face, and bruises all over his body.

Tao Youqing, who was following behind, breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this situation, the matter was finally done, and his little life should have been saved.

After resting for a while, he slowly followed the tide of the crowd.

Outside the Armament Bureau, Mao Xiang took the guards and heard movement inside, so he chuckled lightly and led the team into the Armaments Bureau unhurriedly.

"Help! Mao-sama, help! ”

From a distance, Xu Yong saw Mao Xiang coming in with soldiers, and immediately shouted for help in surprise.

However, Mao Xiang saw the surging crowd behind him clearly, but he was shocked!

That's too much!

Originally, he thought that Tao Youqing would be very good if he could encourage dozens or hundreds of people, but now looking at this posture, it is estimated that it is almost thousands.

"Quick, go call someone!"

Mao Xiang hurriedly ordered, there are government troops stationed outside the Ordnance Bureau, and in the face of so many out-of-control craftsmen at this time, these dozens of people around him are not enough!

"Yes, sir!"

The pro-army guards beside him hurriedly responded, turned around and ran out of the Armory.

"Lord Mao, Lord Mao, help!"

Xu Yong shouted while rushing to Mao Xiang's side with the rioting craftsmen, Mao Xiang's face twitched, although their personal guards were experienced in a hundred battles and had good skills, it was impossible for them to really face an absolute numerical advantage with one enemy and one hundred, even if they were unarmed with weapons, it would be in vain.

Seeing that Xu Yong had lured people over like this, Mao Xiang's face suddenly turned ugly, but the matter had come, and he couldn't just run away like Xu Yong, so he could only go up hard.

"Stop it! What are you going to do? Want to rebel? ”

Mao Xiang pulled out the matching knife and shouted.

Now there are few of them, but the momentum must be strong, if they can deter these people in momentum, then there is still a delay.

Xu Yong was embarrassed, and after running over with his face covered in blood, he quickly hid behind Mao Xiang and the others.

The craftsmen who followed after him, and when they saw Mao Xiang, these stubborn and stubborn pro-army soldiers, they were also a little stunned, and finally stopped.

Seeing this, Mao Xiang breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, it didn't get out of control.

"Lord Mao, these people are beating up their own officials, this is a rebellion, my lord, arrest these people!"

Xu Yong said with his head out from behind.

The corners of Mao Xiao's mouth twitched when he heard his words, you idiot, can't you wait to talk about it, the army outside hasn't come yet!

"My lord, this dog official withheld our food and abused us every day, we had to resist as a last resort, please be aware of it!!"

The steward who took the lead immediately shouted to Mao Xiang that although he also hated Xu Yong, he had not lost his mind yet, and he couldn't admit the rebellion.

"Yes, it's this dog officer!"

"Your Excellency!"

Mao Xiang took a deep breath and shouted: "The official is guilty, you can file a complaint, you can't mess around like this!" ”

"We have already sued Lord Li, and it was Lord Li who made us resist!"

"Yes, it was Master Li who said it!"

"We listen to Master Li!"

“……”

Mao Xiao's face changed, according to the plan, this matter was indeed going to be detained on Li Wei, but now the matter is a bit big, he doesn't know if he can do this.

Zhu Yuanzhang meant to forcibly put this matter on Li Wei, Li Wei admitted that these craftsmen were just following orders, although they were chaotic, but they were only blind obedience, and they could be dealt with lightly.

But if Li Wei doesn't admit it, then these people will be tantamount to rebellion, and the following offenders will beat up the officials and show them to the public!

As for Li Wei's side, Zhu Yuanzhang had already made arrangements.

Just when Mao Xiang was hesitating, the guards who had been ordered to go out to shake people rushed in with the guards stationed outside.

The government guards surrounded these craftsmen, and the commander made Chang An step forward to say hello to Mao Xiang.

Fu Junwei is also one of the emperor's direct pro-army, and he is a colleague of the same level as Chang An.

Mao Xiang saw that the guards of the government were in control of the situation, so he finally put his mind at ease and stopped being so kind to persuade him just now.

"Arrest them all!"

Mao Xiang shouted loudly.

The craftsmen who were surrounded immediately panicked, shouted one after another that they were wronged, and they no longer dared to resist in the face of the guards of the government army who came forward to arrest them.

"Lord Mao! Mao-sama! ”

Tao Youqing squeezed out of the chaotic crowd, and when he saw that these soldiers were even going to arrest him, he hurriedly shouted to Mao Xiang.

Mao Xiang's eyes froze, he chuckled, and motioned for the soldiers to let him go.

Tao Youqing stepped forward and asked cautiously: "Master Mao, the matter is done, you see my sins, can you expose them?" ”

Mao Xiang smiled: "Of course, what the official says counts, and the previous things will be written off for you." ”

"Lord Xie, Lord Xie......" Tao Youqing was happy and thanked again and again.

However, before he could finish thanking him, Mao Xiang smiled and said coldly: "But you dare to incite craftsmen to beat the court officials, this crime can't be exempted from you!" ”

Tao Youqing's movements froze, and he looked at Mao Xiang in shock: "My lord, I'm not following ......"

Burst!

With a soft sound, his words stopped abruptly, and then he felt a sharp pain in his chest and abdomen.

Looking down, the steel knife had pierced through his chest, and the hilt was in Mao Xiang's hand.

Tao Youqing opened his mouth, but all that poured out of his mouth was blood, and he couldn't say a word.

Mao Xiang raised his leg and kicked him away, glanced at him with disdain, and then put the knife into the sheath.

Chang An looked at these in his eyes, but he didn't say anything, he didn't bother to ask about this kind of little person.

At 20 o'clock, the big chapter will be sent first, and a small chapter will be sent in the afternoon, everyone will look at it first, thank you for subscribing, and ask for a monthly pass!
