Qiu Mingshan's words made Lin Yanchao really embarrassed. If this is not done well, then as a magistrate, he abandoned the city and fled, and he was stabbed out, that is, he was ruined, his reputation was all over the world, and finally he would become slandered all over the world.

Besides, paper can't contain the fire, and the truth will come out sooner or later.

But Lin Yanchao thought about it, under this crisis, he was not sure about staying in the city. This is no better than 'death advice' to the Son of Heaven at that time, at that time Lin Yanchao arranged all kinds of back-ups, although he may not be able to keep his official position, but at least he can ensure that he does not die.

If it is a real 'death advice', there are a few people who have the courage of Hai Rui and other heads!

But at the moment, such a move will destroy the city, and in such a situation, no one of you can be sure of surviving. Qiu Mingshan is right, even if it is not for himself, he must think about his family and the people who follow him.

Qiu Mingshan urged: "Dong Weng, you have to make a decision early, otherwise you won't be able to get out of the city gate if it's too late." ”

Lin Yanchao thought of this, and said to Qiu Mingshan: "Even if Ben Cheng stays, I am a scholar and I will not be able to return to heaven." ”

Qiu Mingshan was overjoyed when he heard this: "Dong Weng knows the current affairs as a junjie, just figure it out." ”

Lin Yanchao nodded and said, "Thank you Mr. Qiu for mentioning it, what are your best plans now?" ”

Qiu Mingshan said: "Dong Weng, the West Gate guard is my clan, but the joints can be passed, we will go out of the city from here, and then go to Ningling County, and then go to Kaifeng to ask for help from Futai." ”

Lin Yanchao nodded and said, "Then you can do it, I will meet you at the West Gate with my family." ”

Qiu Mingshan nodded, and walked away quickly.

Lin Yanchao immediately returned to Tongzhi's house.

There is a door in the second hall and the back house, and this door is strictly controlled, and you can't enter or leave it.

Lin Yanchao walked to the door of the house, sweating on his forehead unconsciously.

Several of the men guarding the back house all said with a smile on their faces: "I've seen the master of the second mansion." ”

Lin Yanchao smiled, but he didn't rush into the door, and stood still: "By the way, didn't you go back for the festival?" ”

Menzi saw that Yifu Tongzhi deigned to talk to him, and smiled a few times at the moment: "How can the villain have such a good blessing, he has to be on duty tonight to be an errand for the old man." ”

"That's a hard time, I'll give up and eat and drink later."

Menzi also knew that Lin Yanchao was a kind word, but he still said happily: "The villain thanked the master of the second mansion." ”

Lin Yanchao nodded and returned to the house immediately.

At this time, the house was busy cleaning, cooking and eating, Lin Qianqian saw Lin Yanchao returning to the house and said with a smile: "Xianggong, can you go back to the house as soon as possible today, our family of three will have a good holiday." ”

Seeing the smile on Lin Qianqian's face, and Xiao Yanchao babbling in the arms of the nurse.

Lin Yanchao gritted his teeth and said, "Call all the people in the house." ”

Lin Qianqian couldn't help but be surprised: "What's the matter, master?" ”

"Don't ask, hurry up."

When the people in the house are gathered.

Lin Yanchao defeated the elite of the official army, only the old and weak soldiers were left in the city, and the hungry people outside the city told everyone about the resentment of the prefect.

Lin Yanchao said it in two or three simple sentences, and the people in the house were stunned.

At this time, when they heard that the Liukou were about to besiege the city, everyone was so frightened that their bodies trembled.

Lin Qianqian said: "Xianggong, how do you decide?" If you want to go out of the city, I will go out with you, and you will leave us as a family of three and we will not be separated. ”

Lin Yanchao said to Lin Qianqian: "How can I let your mother and son stay in the city." ”

Lin Qianqian said resolutely: "Xianggong, you have to go together, you have to stay together." ”

Lin Yanchao sighed: "Right now, the most combative people in the city have been defeated, the generals don't know whether they are alive or dead, the thieves and thieves are very strong, and the city will definitely not be able to be saved." At this moment, we can only leave the city immediately, and our lives will not be guaranteed. Don't pack up anything, but get into the carriage at once, so that you don't suffer this misfortune. ”

Sun Chengzong, as well as Lin Yanchao's protégés, moved their lips, but they didn't say anything because they looked at Lin Yanchao.

Lin Qianqian saw that Lin Yanchao was leaving, and he also nodded.

So Zhanming went to prepare the carriage, and everyone left immediately as promised.

Chen Jichuan asked: "The two Jinyi Wei officials, are they also called?" ”

Lin Yanchao nodded and said, "They are Zhang Whale's henchmen, if there is a mistake, they will blame me and take them away." ”

After a while, everyone in the house was empty, and Lin Yanchao sighed in his heart that he had been a pro-people official for less than a month, and he had encountered this situation.

At this time, Chen Jichuan said to Lin Yanchao: "Master, the carriage is ready. ”

Lin Yanchao nodded and asked, "Madam, have they all gotten into the carriage?" ”

"Yes, sir"

Lin Yanchao said to Chen Jichuan: "The thieves are close to the city, but we are not in a hurry to drive in the city, so as not to arouse suspicion. ”

"Yes, sir."

Lin Yanchao was about to leave, when he heard someone outside the door: "Second Mansion, Lord Futai has something to do, summon you to go to discuss." ”

After this person finished speaking, Chen Jichuan's face changed drastically.

Lin Yanchao said calmly: "Okay, you can go back to the prefect and say that after I change my clothes, I will come immediately." ”

Someone said yes, and then walked away.

Lin Yanchao and Chen Jichuan said: "Futai has already noticed it, and we will get into the carriage immediately." ”

So the two of them came to the back door of the mansion, Zhang Wu in front of the carriage, and Zhao Da's two brocade guards saw Lin Yanchao and Chen Jichuan, and several people were looking at each other.

Lin Yanchao left his post without permission, abandoned the city and fled, which was extremely disgraceful, and I don't know what the two of them thought.

At this moment, Zhang Wu and Zhao Da knelt down with a puff, kowtowed to Lin Yanchao and said, "Thank you Sima for your life." ”

Lin Yanchao and Chen Jichuan were both relieved, and a few people were speechless, and left from the back door of the mansion at the moment.

The carriage drove to the west gate, Yucheng County was in the northeast of Shangqiu, and Ningling County was in the west of Shangqiu City. Lin Yanchao sat in the car with Chen Jichuan, Sun Chengzong, and several protégés.

Everyone didn't say anything all the way, but they saw from the curtain of the car that the people on the street were happily setting off firecrackers and pasting peach charms at the door, and the children were laughing and clapping their hands.

Thinking that the thieves would enter the city for a while, and the whole city would be poisoned, everyone couldn't bear it in their hearts.

Lin Yanchao looked at Sun Chengzong, he was eighty years old in history, Gaoyang City was broken, he could have left the city, but he insisted on staying in the city, and the whole clan died under the sword of the Qing soldiers.

But the current Sun Chengzong is not the two generations of emperors in a few decades, Sun Chengzong, who was deeply favored by the emperor. For a grass people, Sun Chengzong is leaving at this moment, there is no problem.

was driving, but passed by a gate.

Lin Yanchao saw that there was a plaque of the Hou Mansion hanging on the door of the mansion, and his protégé Hou Zhipu was greeting him in front of the door, a distinguished guest.

Around the distinguished guest, many wealthy slaves were surrounded, and the two were saluting.

At this time, Hou Zhipu turned his head and saw Lin Yanchao in the car curtain, and saluted with surprise and joy.

Lin Yanchao nodded in the car, and then the carriage sped by.

When we came to the west gate of the city, Qiu Mingshan immediately greeted him and said: "Dong Weng, the city gate is already closed, but I told the city gate to go through, and he allowed us to go out of the city." ”

Then Qiu Mingshan gestured towards the head of the city, and the west gate of the city opened.

Because on this Chinese New Year's Eve, all four gates are closed, and the city gates cannot be opened lightly without a warrant from the prefect. Lin Yanchao saw that Qiu Mingshan could say that he could move the city gate officials and open the city gate without authorization, and he did have the ability.

Lin Yanchao nodded and said, "This time, it's really thanks to Mr. Qiu." ”

Qiu Mingshan was a little proud, after this incident, he could be regarded as holding Lin Yanchao's handle in his hands, and Lin Yanchao would not be able to treat him as a confidant in the future.

But he still said on his face: "Dong Weng, this is my duty. ”

Lin Yanchao nodded, and at this time, he suddenly saw three black smoke in the direction of the east gate, rushing straight into the sky.

Lin Yanchao couldn't help asking, "What's going on?" ”

Qiu Mingshan sighed: "It must be the fire in the east of the city that is burning smoke to warn the city, and these three black smoke indicate that there are 100,000 fires." ”

Lin Yanchao looked at the archers on the head of the city, and he also showed a panicked look.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, there were not many people stationed there, and all the elite men and horses were lost, so with a dozen officers and soldiers sparsely pulled at the head of the city, how to resist the enemy?

But when Qiu Mingshan saw this scene, he showed a look that was really not what I expected.

At this time, the general manager was at the head of the city and urged Qiu Mingshan: "Mr. Qiu, there are thieves forcing the city right now, if you don't leave the city yet, it will be too late in a while." ”

Qiu Mingshan said to Lin Yanchao: "Dong Weng, let's hurry up, otherwise it will be too late." ”

After speaking, Qiu Mingshan asked Lin Yanchao to get into the carriage.

Lin Yanchao said: "It's okay, Mr. Laoqiu escorted my family to Ningling County for me." ”

Qiu Mingshan was stunned, and sneered in his heart At this time, Lin Yanchao was still pretending: "Dong Weng, don't delay any longer, it won't help you to stay." ”

Lin Yanchao said: "Don't worry, I'm not unsure. It's just that my family is not escorted out of the city, and I can't feel at ease. ”

Qiu Mingshan thought to himself, how can this be, Lin Yanchao does not go out of the city, in case he dies here, then his favor is not in vain.

"Dong Weng, know the times for Junjie, what do you have, where will you come to make a comeback in the future. Besides, Futai has always been at odds with you, even if you do your best to defend the city for him, you can't get his gratitude. ”

Lin Yanchao smiled and said, "When I left the city, I also wanted to leave, but I remembered something for some reason. Someone once asked why Hai Gangfeng was an official? ”

He replied, out of compassion and righteous indignation, with compassion for the people who were hungry, cold, and afflicted, and indignant when they were oppressed. Since he became an official, he has never thought about his future in the future, and he only has the people and the society in his heart. ”

Qiu Mingshan heard this: "Dong Weng, Hai Rui is such a famous person, how can he believe what he says? How can there be people in the world who forget their selfishness because of their duties. ”

Lin Yanchao smiled when he heard this, and at this time, he saw that the curtain of the car was lifted, but he saw Sun Chengzong and several of Lin Yanchao's protégés jumping out of the carriageway: "Sir, we are willing to stay with you." ”

"Mr. Sun stays, and the rest of the people get into the carriage," Lin Yanchao then said to Qiu Mingshan: "Mr. Qiu, there are both people in the world who forget their public affairs because of their personal interests, and there are also people who forget their personal interests because of their official duties. ”

"Mr. Qiu, they have been with them for many years, please send them to Ningling County together with my family, and then go to Kaifeng to ask Lord Futai for help, and ask him to send troops to help."

Qiu Mingshan saw that Lin Yanchao's intention had been decided, so he could only stomp his feet and say: "Since Dong Weng has made up his mind, then I can only advise you to take care." ”

Lin Yanchao said: "You must hide it from Mrs. for me, otherwise she will not go out of the city alone." Jichuan, you and Mr. Qiu are in charge of the carriage together, and you are here to protect my family. ”

Chen Jichuan and Zhanming saw that Lin Yanchao made them go out of the city together, and they were all embarrassed.

Lin Yanchao said: "Guarding my home is small, and it is more useful than being next to me, don't shirk it, go out of the city immediately." ”

At that moment, everyone was not hypocritical, and they got into the carriage and went out of the city together.

Lin Yanchao stood in place, watching the carriage carrying Lin Qianqian's mother and son out of the city, and at this moment, he couldn't help but feel that the softest part of his heart was touched.

At the moment when the city gate was closed, Lin Yanchao's heart hardened again, and he said to Sun Chengzong: "You go to the Hou family with me, and the Yang family moves the rescuers." ”

And at this moment, the thieves outside the city are already overwhelmed by a large army.

The prefect Su Yan went to the head of Dongcheng City, but he saw that the city was black and oppressive, and they were all thieves.

Many officials were dizzy when they saw this scene.

Su Yan fixed his eyes on it, although there were many thieves, they were all grass-headed people with wooden sticks, etc., and the real danger was five or six hundred ringing horses on horseback.

Su Yanqiang calmed himself and said: "What are you panicking about, how many people are under Mr. Liu?" ”

The head of the city said, "There are about fifty or sixty people." ”

Su Yan said angrily: "Doesn't a general need more than 400 soldiers under his command? There are only fifty or sixty people. ”

The general has a bitter face, and the heart is not them, the Ming Dynasty has always had a serious shortage of officials, and General Yu also turned a blind eye when he was in the past.

Su Yan also knew the bad rules of the army, but according to General Liu, there were only more than 200 officers and soldiers in the four gates, and it was impossible to rely on 200 people to defend the wall of Shangqiu City for more than seven miles under more than 20,000 chaotic people.

Su Yan said calmly at the moment: "Tell Shangqiu Zhixian to immediately select a thousand people from the city to replenish the gates, my Shangqiu City wall is high and thick, and the thieves are all rabble, and they dare not attack the city." ”

"Futai, I'm afraid it's not enough to just be strong, I still have to go to the house to let those big families come out! They all have a lot of family members. Let the master say on the side.

Su Yan said angrily: "Don't you know yet? But these big families all have people who are officials in the court, how can they easily sell the face of the house. ”

"Yes. Be. All the officials said yes.

Everyone knows that although this time it is a ringing horse crossing the river, so many local people are subordinate, and it is also because they can't stand the oppression on weekdays and rise up.

The reason why the people obeyed was that they were greedy for relief food and that they were not allowed to enter the city for the winter. Otherwise, when they encounter thieves, they won't have time to hide, how can they attach thieves.

This is all Su Yan's fault, if he must not offend the big family in the house at this time. Otherwise, those who are officials in their family will participate in any book, and Su Yan's career will be over.

At this time, Su Yan sneered: "These people dare to attach thieves, fortunately, this mansion has the foresight and does not allow them to enter the city, otherwise if they are given the cooperation between the inside and the outside, I am afraid that this mansion city will be broken long ago." ”

After Su Yan finished speaking, all the officials sneered in their hearts, and they actually said that their mistakes were successful, and they were shameless as officials.

Although everyone thought so in their hearts, they said in unison: "Lord Futai is wise." ”

While he was talking, someone in the city scolded: "Su Yan, you dog official, don't talk about embezzling our disaster relief food, and don't allow us to enter the city, my family members are all frozen to death, and now I want to kill you to pay for your life!" ”

"Death!"

"Death!"

The people of the city shouted together.

This cry was like a slap in the face, and it was hotly pumped in Su Yan's face.
