Chapter 46: Wait and see

The eyes of Boss Chen in the store kept blinking, and every time he saw the robber man at the back door and moved out of the backyard, his heart ached.

He thought that those cash cabinets were hidden very secretly, but he was robbers by Zhang Ergou, and he came out after a casual search. And the robber alone can resist heavy objects, which is something that only a few men can move.

Zhang Ergou's robbers passed in front of him over and over again, and he calculated in his heart that the valuables he had hidden were all gone. In the end, the lack of money overcame the psychology of fear. Boss Chen knelt down and prayed to the robber man in front of him.

"Uncle robbers, leave some way for the little old man's family to live! Don't move all my things!"

The robber man in front of him was slowly fiddling with his nails and said, "I have taught you to be a good man, cooperate with us well, or go to the capital to do business honestly, and we won't be too embarrassed for you." Now not only are you not cooperating, but there are people who are resisting and calling officers and soldiers. That's what happened!"

If there is any regret, Boss Chen must cooperate honestly as soon as the robbers come. Or simply move early to do business in the capital. Now they can only cry tears, but these robbers have no sympathy at all.

Finally, the robber Zhang Ergou moved things out of the house, returned to the store, and said to another robber: "Big brother, the things are almost moved." If you look for them again, you'll need to ask them and dig three feet into the ground!"

The robber man in front nodded, stretched out his big hand and touched Boss Chen's face and said, "We won't search the rest, and leave you some living capital!"

Boss Chen is like a little daughter-in-law who has been molested, and her tears will stop for a while. When the two robbers left his shop, he led the men to the backyard. I saw that the backyard was not dug three feet into the ground, and it was almost turned over.

For a while, the sound of crying and shouting sounded in the backyard again.

On a road in Jiangcheng, several people were standing at the end of the road with the support of a group of soldiers, watching hundreds of robbers come out of some merchants and carry the looted things into the car. Those people robbed the goods of the merchants in the city, not only the carts and horses loaded with things, but also from the city.

"City Lord, shall we take up the city guards again and stop them all?"

The lord of the city, who was in the middle of the crowd, dressed in Western clothes, said, "No, it's not good to take our city if you annoy the robbers." ”

A group of people next to the city lord hurriedly nodded yes. Admire the wisdom of the city lord. Just looking at the combat effectiveness of those bandits, so many city guards sent out before failed to come back. Filling it with the same number of city guards would be useless.

A city historian said: "City Lord, what about the economic interests of our seven aunts and eight aunts in those merchants, and we don't care about it?"

The city lord looked back at the city history and said, "Chen Bo, if I don't give you power, you can lead the troops over to rob it." Half of the property that can be snatched back is yours, okay?"

Although the reward was huge, he didn't want to be one of the city guards sent out before, and none of them would come back.

In this way, the city lord watched the robbers rob the city and leave in front of them! He was ready to continue to sit back in his position as the city lord and live a life of one day at a time, regardless of the life or death of the people outside.

Half a day passed, and the city was quiet again, except for the withered shops that showed that robbers had once visited. sat back in the city lord's mansion again, and the city lord in the suit lay on the city lord's throne and was pampered. The victimized shop owners who knelt down and prayed for him to make decisions for them.

"City Lord, you can't do this, we have paid you a share, you have to ensure the safety of our business!"

"City lord, the robbers have stolen any of our savings. If you don't make decisions for us, we won't be able to pay you the money in the future, and there will be no way to continue this business!"

......

The city lord listened for a while, and then sat down from the throne and said: "I also want to do a little protection for you, but my city guards are halfway out, and they never come back!

The people in the hall still knelt on the ground and said: "Please try to do it, even if we scatter all the family wealth, we will also send this gang of robbers to hell!"

"Yes, yes, we want to avenge our money!"

The city lord stroked a few beards and said, "In today's situation, we can only seek greater support!"

The city lord was about to say something when a guard stumbled in from outside and said, "City lord, it's a big deal, it's a big deal!"

The city lord couldn't help but widen his eyes angrily and said, "What are you panicking, are the robbers coming again? Or is the sky falling?"

The guard who reported the news said, "It's not that the robbers are coming again, it's not that the sky is about to fall. It was a fleet of foreigners coming up on the shore, and their cannons were firing at us. The walls have already collapsed in a few places!"

Once the city wall is broken, it will not have much advantage for the defenders. With just a little bit of strength, the enemy can pass through the broken walls and drive straight into the city.

The city lord of the suit asked loudly: "Is the foreign fleet attacking us?"

The guard said in horror: "Exactly, it's not that the guards defending the city are not strong, it's that the enemy's artillery fire is too sharp! Our artillery can't reach their position in the city, so they are accurately aimed and bombed down!"

Seeing that the city was about to be covered by the cannon fire of the foreign fleet, the city lord of the suit was excited, and said loudly: "Everyone, the creation is coming." We seek backers uninvited. ”

While instructing the guards to inform the white flag to be raised in the remaining part of the city wall, he said to the merchants who had come to pray and complain, "Go, follow me to welcome the foreign lords into the city!"

There was a cheer from the hall. Some people even said: "It's good that Lord Yang is here, the wine he brings is sweet, and the moon is rounder than ours after coming!"

The crowd straightened up their clothes, and followed the city lord to the city wall. I saw that the artillery fire continued, but it was heading towards the remaining city walls. The nearby walls had collapsed completely.

The city guards who were defending the city had already run far away when the cannon was roaring, and now when they saw the city lord coming, some of them gathered back, trembling and protecting behind the city lord.

Looking at the ruined walls, you can see the surface of the sea, and there are some warships parked on the sea. The warship docked, and a group of foreign troops sailed from far and near.

Before they could reach them, the gunshots rang out again, hitting the ground in front of the city lord, shattering some earth and stones and flying in all directions.

The city lord led the people to desperately shake the gesture of surrender, and at the same time shouted forward in foreign language: "Lord Yang, we all the people in the city sincerely welcome you to come. You take this city and make it your backyard!"
