Zhang Pu was not wrong, Qian Qianyi wanted him to die, and the riots outside not only did not stop, but became more chaotic. One by one, the young men with vigorous skills climbed over the wall through the gap one after another, and before midnight, the backyard could not be guarded, and they had to retreat to the main building where Pan Xiuwen lived.

In the chaos, the local officials, I don't know when, disappeared one after another. Only Dongchang and Suzhou came to catch fast, holding the weapons in their hands and trying to guard the downstairs.

On the second floor, Pan Xiuwen's family members were all huddled on the bed and crying. These officials and dependents have never seen such a thing, and there is no warning beforehand.

At this time, regardless of whether there is a difference between men and women, Zhang Pu and the others are all on the second floor, but of course they are not on the bed, but hiding in the middle, and furniture is moved around to block them, so as to prevent things that may be thrown to the second floor from the outside, to prevent smashing and so on.

It is true that there are many wars in the north, and for this kind of thing, Jiang Dong and others have more experience and have made such arrangements.

It didn't take long for the mob outside to start storming the building again.

However, the soldiers guarding at the bottom are not those with iron rulers like catching fast, but embroidered spring knives. As long as the thugs dared to approach, they overturned a few on the spot. Seeing the blood, the thugs who rushed to the front were gone, and those behind were a little cowardly.

But it didn't take long for the thugs to take the guy and start attacking again.

On the second floor, stones and other things, from time to time, broke through the windows and smashed on the furniture, making a loud noise.

Listening to the shouts outside and hearing the sound of the stone falling in, Pan Xiuwen was really scared, the official hat didn't know when it had fallen early, hugged his head, and said in horror: "It's over, it's over, he's forcing us to death, those family members rushed in, and it's all over......"

Zhang Pu was not afraid at this time, but very resentful. Of course he knew that the thugs led by the outside were definitely the members of the Qian family, and even if they weren't, they were definitely inseparable from Qian Qianyi's old thing.

This time, he is likely to kill himself, and then say that he is in Changshu County relying on his status as a patrol to do evil, which has aroused public anger. With the former residences of his protégés, the momentum and slander of the DPRK-China relations, I am afraid that in the end, the accusations against himself will not be able to escape. However, in order to give an account to the imperial court, there will definitely be people who turn themselves in, saying that they are forced to do this because they are a dog official.

Thinking that he might die here, Zhang Pu also regretted it a little in his heart, he knew that this old thing would be moved directly from Suzhou to use, he was so old and so ruthless, he should have brought more people over.

But now, it's too late to say anything.

Thinking of this, Zhang Pu sighed again in his heart. He didn't expect the surrounding government to come in time. It's not good, after the surrounding officials heard about the situation here, they wished that they would make a big fuss, and they died here, and the verification of the official gentry's preferential and exemption limits, as well as Cui's payment of arrears, would not continue.

Thinking about it, Zhang Pu didn't seem to be able to hear the sound outside, and the whole person was immersed in his own mind.

Recalling the first half of his life, Zhang Pu hated that he was not born well, so that he had been growing up in shame, for this reason, he once secretly swore that he would be angry and strong, and he must get ahead.

Later, I did it and became a celebrity in the Ming Dynasty, how many people rushed thousands of miles to listen to their lectures, how many people respected themselves, and how many people stammered with themselves.

In the county hall, he is a honored guest; With a wave of his hand, who can become a member of the life will decide by himself.

Although the official position is not big, if you want to talk about fame and prestige, in this Ming Dynasty, how many people can catch up with themselves!

However, all this changed after receiving that will. Those who originally supported him and headed turned against each other one by one; The seniors who were talking and laughing with themselves and were just like teachers and students wanted to put themselves to death!

Thinking about it, Zhang Pu's mind was finally fixed into one sentence: The hustle and bustle of the world is all for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit!

Hehe, my whole life is to be coerced by the word "profit" but I don't know it, and I think that everyone in the world has been convinced, but in fact, I just hold myself for the word "profit".

Thinking about it, suddenly, he was pushed a few times, came back to his senses, and looked at it, but it was Jiang Dong with blood on his face, and suddenly, he was startled, and at the same time, he also realized that it was already dawn.

Seeing that Zhang Pu had a reaction, Jiang Dong immediately shouted in a deep voice: "My lord, my brothers are all dead and wounded, and these mobs will not retreat until dawn, I am afraid that they will not be spared!" ”

In this regard, Zhang Pu had already guessed it, so Pan Xiuwen on the side was crying bitterly, but he didn't react much, turned his head to look around, and found that there were still signs of fire, but they were all extinguished. Around, rocks and whatever, everywhere, and even some arrows. It can be seen that it is indeed not easy to keep it until now.

He ignored the noise outside, waved his hand and said, "You don't have to worry about the official, you can kill the rest of the people, and you can go out." As long as you can escape, tell the emperor everything that happened here! ”

Jiang Dong was stunned when he heard this, but he didn't expect Zhang Pu, a civil official, to treat death as if he were at home, and he didn't leave, let them go.

After coming back to his senses, he immediately said, "My lord, I am ordered by the emperor to protect you thoroughly. If you want to break through, let's break through together......"

Zhang Pu didn't wait for him to finish, he shook his head, and said with a wry smile: "Qian Qianyi, that dog thing won't let this official go." As long as the official stays here, you may have any hope of escaping......"

Seeing that Jiang Dong wanted to say something again, he took the first step and said: "Go back and tell the emperor, the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty is rotten, and many bureaucrats are all for their own interests, and they take care of Jun'en in vain." This time, the official was ordered to check the quota of preferential exemption and the collection of arrears of the gentry, which is to move their interests. The martyrdom of this official today can also give the emperor a reason to rectify the officialdom with a heavy hand. These officials have forgotten the iron blood at the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, and this official feels that they should be given a long memory, this world is the emperor's world! ”

When Jiang Dong heard this, he immediately felt a surge of enthusiasm, he didn't expect that the civil official who was so ruthless that he could stab his thigh before was now ready to be martyred for the emperor. He couldn't figure it out, but he didn't want to think about it at this time, so he made up his mind, and immediately said to Zhang Pu: "My lord, I don't need to say it anymore, I am at the emperor's order, how can I escape from the battle and leave my lord alone." Changshu matters, I will arrange them immediately. ”

After finishing speaking, he couldn't help but say something, and went downstairs.

Looking at his back, for the first time, Zhang Pu's heart was suddenly touched, is it "profitable" in the world? Why is this Jiang Dong so stupid and chooses to stay with him? When I was in Beijing, I heard that he had a sister who wanted to protect him desperately, but now, he still wants to stay here, just because he is ordered by the emperor?

Zhang Pu didn't understand these questions at this time.

Soon, Jiang Dong turned around again and told Zhang Pu: "I have arranged for my brother to change his clothes and hide downstairs, if the mob rushes in, he can escape inside." In addition, there are also those who want to break through and attract the attention of the mob......"

Hearing his words, Zhang Pu was able to confirm that Jiang Dong was going to stay with him. Thinking of so many doubts in his heart, he couldn't help but want to ask.

But at this moment, he suddenly saw Jiang Dong stop talking and listened attentively.

His action made Zhang Pu a little puzzled, so he listened carefully. But before he could hear anything, he saw Jiang Dong suddenly ecstatic, and said loudly: "There is the sound of horses' hooves, it is a cavalry, it should be the army!" ”

Obviously, northerners are more familiar and sensitive to the sound of horses' hooves, especially the sound of war horses.

After Zhang Pu listened to his words, before he could get confirmation, he heard a long "woo...... sound, which was the sound of the army's horn!

At this moment, Zhang Pu also heard it very clearly, and suddenly, he, who had already had the will to die, immediately became ecstatic, there was an army rushing over so quickly?

Thinking about the surroundings, he couldn't imagine that anyone would come so actively, could it be a teacher?

Although this conclusion seems a bit incredible, it seems that there is indeed no one else except Zhou Yanru.

Thinking so, he immediately said excitedly: "It seems that my mentor is leading the troops here!" ”

Although Zhou Yanru was also deposed at home, with his influence, it is very possible to mobilize the local government to lead the troops over, as long as he does it.

Pan Xiuwen, who was sad and desperate, heard their conversation and knew that he could not die, he was overjoyed, wiped his tears and snot, and then rushed to his small side.

The sound of "hoo hoo" sounded immediately, and the mob outside also heard the movement one after another, and when the gunshots rang out, they immediately dispersed. One or two firearms may be available in the people, but there are so many firearms, then they are definitely not owned by the people, so there is only one conclusion, the court officials and soldiers are coming!

Youdongchang was by the window, looking outside and talking about the situation outside: "It's the army coming, there are many troops, all the streets, the mob has signs of stubborn resistance, all of them have been suppressed, okay!" Great......"

As he spoke, the others couldn't hold back any longer, and leaned over to the broken windows to see what was going on outside.

Sure enough, just as the Dongchang officer said just now, a team of soldiers of the Ming Army is coming from all sides, and the red military uniform is as kind as it looks. Even when Zhang Pu saw it at this time, he felt that these martial artists outside were very pleasing to the eye.

However, Zhang Pu and Dongchang's focus was not the same, he did not continue to see the Ming army soldiers to drive and suppress those mobs, but to find the location of the handsome banner. He thought that his mentor should be where Shuai Qi was.

After glancing around, he even changed the window on the other side, and finally found out where the Ming army marshal flag was outside the city. Looking at the flags on the flags over there, Zhang Pu couldn't help but be stunned.

At the same time, in the Qian family, Qian Qianyi is a little old and can't stay up all night. After the fuss last night, he slept too late than usual, and at this time, he hadn't gotten up yet. It was Hou Fangyu who rushed outside in a panic and shouted loudly through the curtain that made Qian Qianyi wake up from his confusion.

"What, there's an army coming?" Qian Qianyi was frightened, and at the same time he didn't believe what he heard, so he hurriedly questioned: "Where did the army come from?" The surrounding guards, even if they don't care about the old man's face, it is absolutely impossible to send troops so quickly! ”

Before Hou Fangyu could answer, he heard the sound of gunshots from outside. This time, he doesn't need to answer, there is already an answer.

After Qian Qianyi heard this, he didn't even bother to put on his clothes, and rushed out of the room. At this time, he no longer had the demeanor of a literary master and a leader of Donglin, and he was panicked, gritting his teeth and scolding: "Which puppet will bring the army over?" Could it be that the old man did this just for the old man's own family? Are you crazy, what's the benefit of doing this......"

Hou Fangyu was also panicked, and he did not contribute much to the matter of inciting the people's uprising, at least among the literati in Changshu, he appeared many times to agitate, and even wrote an article, just waiting for Zhang Pu's precedent to become famous after this incident happened.

However, everything did not go according to their predetermined plan, so that Zhang Pu'er escaped and would definitely retaliate! That guy is a very extreme person, what kind of unspoken rules of officialdom will he care, and he is a person who will completely mess around!

At this time, Hou Fangyu was scared again, and he could only hope that Qian Qianyi would have a way on his side.

Qian Qianyi's concubine chased Qian Qianyi's clothes out from inside, and she didn't care about Hou Fangyu's presence, so she hurriedly put Qian Qianyi on.

Qian Qianyi went out of the door, was blown by the cold water, and sobered up a little, while letting the concubine serve him to dress, he shouted loudly: "Quick, check for the old man, see who brought the troops?" Or I don't know the situation, so I don't have to show up! ”

Hou Fangyu was overjoyed when he heard it, don't be a misunderstanding, go back and figure out who brought the troops over, with Qian Qianyi's face in the officialdom, maybe there is room for redemption.

Thinking so, when he was about to flatter, he saw a servant rushing towards the inner courtyard with a rolling belt, and shouted in a panic as he ran: "Master, it's not good, master, the officers and soldiers are coming, master, the officers and soldiers are coming, master, the officers and soldiers are coming, ......."

When he got closer, the servants looked like they were all six gods and no masters, and shouted at Qian Qianyi: "That Zhang Pu has already arrived at the door with the official army......

Before he finished speaking, he heard the sound of "bang", and the door was slammed open. On the front yard, there was soon a noisy sound, the sound of officers and soldiers shouting on the ground, the sound of armor colliding, and the sound of hurried footsteps, getting closer and closer to the backyard.

When Qian Qianyi heard this, he knew that it was Zhang Pu who was coming with the official army, so he panicked and pushed away the concubine who was still dressing him, turned around and ran, but unexpectedly, he didn't pay attention to the threshold, and suddenly fell and ate.
