"Master Hou, the lower officials are also forced by others!" Yu Shanqiu shouted loudly, and the voice fluttered in the backyard, looking extremely poignant.

"Fart!" I don't know why, seeing Yu Shanqiu's unwilling appearance, a nameless anger appeared in his heart, stepped forward and grabbed his shirt, lifted him up, and said viciously: "Forced by others...... You can betray the court if you are forced by others? Can you be forced to do something for the tiger? If you are forced to kill the five hundred brocade guards who came from the capital? You touch your conscience and see if it's still there? ”

Yang Feng's series of inquiries completely crushed the last remaining luck in Yu Shanqiu's heart, he collapsed to the ground and cried bitterly, crying so much that snot and tears flowed out, and muttered in his mouth: "Xia Guan doesn't want to do this...... Xiaguan is just ...... Just ......"

Speaking of this, Yu Shanqiu suddenly remembered something, and suddenly raised his head and pleaded with Yang Feng: "Master Hou, the lower official knows that it is not a pity to die because of the deep sin, but the wife and daughter of the lower official don't know it, can the Hou Ye be merciful and let them go, and the lower official is Jiuquan Thank you for your great kindness!" ”

After speaking, Yu Shanqiu knelt down towards Yang Feng and kowtowed to Yang Feng, he was so hard that he made a "bumper" sound, and after a while, his entire forehead quickly swollen.

Looking at Yu Shanqiu's pitiful appearance, Yang Feng couldn't help but secretly sigh in his heart, who would have imagined that the person in front of him who looked embarrassed and blurred in flesh and blood was still a prefect with full authority a few hours ago, and in modern society, it was the leader of a prefecture-level city, a high-ranking official in the past, and a prisoner today, this is the kind of person he is talking about.

It's just pitiful, but Yang Feng won't let him go because of this, otherwise those five hundred brocade guards who died because of him wouldn't have died in vain.

Looking at Yu Shanqiu who was kneeling on the ground, Yang Feng said in a deep voice: "Yu Shanqiu, it's useless for you to kowtow to Benhou, you now tell the cause and effect of the matter in detail, although it can't avoid your death, but Benhou can promise you to save you from the punishment of a thousand knives, as for how your wife and daughter Benhou can only say that he can intercede with the emperor for you, as for how His Majesty will distribute that Benhou, there is nothing he can do." ”

"Enough!" Yu Shanqiu laughed miserably: "With the words of the Hou Ye, the lower officials are also content, and now the lower officials will tell you the matter." Half a month ago, the heads of the three families of Chen, Chi, and Zhang jointly sent an invitation to the lower officials, inviting them to the banquet......"

So, Yu Shanqiu began to tell the whole story of the matter......

Just when Yang Feng was inquiring about the whole story at the prefect's yamen, the entire Shaoxing City had already become a mess because of the arrival of the Jiangning army.

An elderly man in his fifties wearing a crimson robe grabbed a middle-aged man and shouted, "What the hell is going on? Why did we only get the news when the Jiangning army entered the city? Are the spies out there blind? ”

This old man over fifty years old is named Chen Fuyang, and he is also the head of the Chen family, and the middle-aged man who was grabbed by his neck is the housekeeper of the Chen family. ”

"Incompetent...... Waste ......"

Chen Fuyang pushed the housekeeper away and scolded loudly.

In fact, it is not the incompetence of those spies, but the limitation of their vision. The consequences of the long-term ban on the sea in the Ming Dynasty not only stifled the exploration and excavation of the ocean by the people of the Ming Dynasty, but also imprisoned people's cognition of the ocean.

Before Yang Feng appeared, no one thought that the warships of the naval division could be used for large-scale army mobilization and material transportation in addition to combat. In the past, the mobilization of troops was all carried out by land, and the large-scale transfer of troops and materials by sea rarely happened in the history of the Ming Dynasty. Of course, last year, the Jiangning Army sent its troops to Liaodong through warships, and basically no one would care about this kind of thing, except within the Jiangning Army.

"Sir...... What do we do now? "The housekeeper of the Chen family is not stupid, of course, he realized that the large-scale appearance of the Jiang Ning army in Shaoxing City was aimed at them.

"What else can I do?" Chen Fuyang's face was gloomy, "Wait until the Chi family, the Zhang family, and the heads of those salt merchants come over." ”

"How does the master know...... Uh...... "The housekeeper knew that he had said the wrong thing halfway through his words, such a big thing happened, how could the Chi family, the Zhang family and those salt merchants not know it, they would definitely come to discuss countermeasures with their master at the first time, and at this moment, the voice of a maid came from outside the door.

"Sir...... The Chi family and other heads of the family are asking to see each other outside! ”

"Invite them to sit down in the side hall!" Chen Fuyang said in a deep voice, then turned to the housekeeper and said, "You also come with the old man." ”

"Yes!"

When Chen Fuyang arrived at the side hall, he found that the side hall of Nuoda had been crowded with dozens of people, all of whom were handsome and ugly, but the only thing that was the same was that these people all had anxiety on their faces.

After seeing Chen Fuyang's arrival, a middle-aged man in his forties took the lead in greeting him, and said with a gloomy face: "Brother Chen, the army of the imperial court has entered the city, and it is still the Jiangning army. Now the four city gates of Shaoxing have been controlled by the Jiang Ning army, listening to the people to report, the Jiang Ning army just entered the city and went straight to the prefect's yamen, Yu Shanqiu is afraid that they have been arrested, do you say that we will all be confessed? ”

"Needless to say, this guy looks greedy for life and afraid of death on weekdays, and he will definitely give us all up!" A young man standing behind the middle-aged man said indignantly.

"Wen'er, shut up!" The middle-aged man turned his head and shouted, and then said to everyone with a bitter face: "Everyone, although the dog is reckless, but this is not unreasonable, I think that if Yu Shanqiu is caught by Jiang Ningjun, I am afraid that there is a chance that we will be confessed, and it is difficult to say what will happen at that time!" ”

A fat man in his thirties said with a sad face: "We know Yu Shanqiu, if he falls into the hands of Jiang Ningjun to confess, it is inevitable, but what can I do now?" You can't lead someone into the prefect's yamen and kill him."

Chen Fuyang glared at the fat man impatiently, this fat man is the head of the Zhang family, don't look at the usual smile and look like he is kind to others, but Chen Fuyang is even this guy is the best at pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, I don't know how many people are deceived by his appearance.

Seeing that it was time for these people to still have their own ghosts, Chen Fuyang was also bored for a while, and he said unceremoniously: "Everyone, if you still have this attitude, the old man thinks that you can go back to your destiny now, if you really want to think about it together, the old man advises you to tell the truth quickly, because the old man has a hunch that Jiang Ningjun will not leave us too much time." And you, Zhang Fatty, the last incident was your idea, and now that the incident has happened, you don't want to take countermeasures, what do you want to do here. ”

Seeing that Chen Fuyang had said this, everyone was a little embarrassed, they didn't know that it had come to the nearest juncture, but everyone was used to it on weekdays, and now they were suddenly a little embarrassed by Chen Fuyang's words.

After being named by Chen Fuyang, the fat face of the head of the Zhang family trembled, and then his face showed a helpless look: "Brother Chen, everyone has a share in the last time, and it's not interesting for you to say that."

But everyone knows that last time, the man surnamed Tian came with a large group of brocade guards, and it was clear that he didn't want to give the old and young masters of Shaoxing City a way to live, I just had an idea, but in the end, didn't everyone do it together, how could it be up to me now.

This time, the Jiangning army caught us off guard and blocked the city gate in one fell swoop. It is estimated that it will not be long before the Jiang Ning army will be found, so I think our top priority now is to escape from Shaoxing City, otherwise we will wait for death. ”

The head of the Chi family is named Chi Laining, and after hearing Zhang Fatzi's words, he said impatiently: "You also said, people have blocked the city gates, how can we escape?" ”

"How do you escape?" Zhang Fatzi's narrowed eyes revealed a fierce light: "Didn't Jiang Ningjun block the city gate and prevent people from leaving the city, let's make some movement in the city, I want to see if they can still block the city gate?" This time, we will send a hundred people from each family and give them a big one. ”

Chen Fuyang, Chi Laining, and more than a dozen salt merchants glanced at each other, and everyone nodded slowly, since the matter has come to this, they can't help it.

An hour later

Thousands of assembled Jiangning troops under the leadership of dozens of officers and guides rushed along the streets to prepare to arrest people, Shaoxing suddenly rioted in the city, the streets and alleys suddenly appeared many people began to set fire everywhere, and the fire caused panic, many green-skinned gangsters saw this scene after all excited, one by one groups began to openly kill people on the street and set fire, for a time the entire Shaoxing city fell into chaos, many people coincidentally rushed to the outside of the city in groups, But they found that the city gate was closed, and after seeing such a scene, the people fell into an even greater panic, blocking the city gate one by one and shouting for the officers and soldiers guarding the city to open the city gate, and the atmosphere began to be tense for a while.

In the prefect's yamen, Yang Feng, who received the news, was also taken aback, and Tian Ergeng looked even more incredulous.

"Master Hou, how dare they do this?"

"Hmph, what do they dare not do in order to survive." Yang Feng sighed that these people were bold, and his mood became more and more heavy, it seems that these Jiangnan gentry are even more bold than he imagined!
