Chapter 230: Riots

Not only Zheng Laibao, but also Hao Jincai seriously underestimated the seriousness of this incident, when Zheng Laibao hugged the woman with a bare face and belly, holding a wine glass and talking to Hao Jincai about this, tens of thousands of people in the four towns and eight miles have begun to set off from various villages, gathered together at one intersection after another, and then marched towards the county seat, of course, they are not empty-handed, although there are no weapons, but one by one the sheep forks, hoes, kitchen knives, and flat shoulders in their hands can still kill people. And among these people, there are also a very small number of people, holding hunting bows. Moro was hidden here, and among the hunters, the great bow on his back did not stand out much.

If this is true outside the city, it will not be safe inside the city. Compared with the people who farm outside the city, the life of the poor people in the city is actually more miserable, the people who farm are hungry, they can also go to the fields to dig a dig, if they are lucky, maybe they can make something out, at least they can dig out some grass roots, and the poor people in the city, once they run out of food, they really have nothing. And these people, also under the encouragement of well-intentioned people, began to gather together quietly.

Early in the morning, when the sleepy-eyed soldiers guarding the city opened the city gate, they saw at a glance the angry people crowded at the gate outside the city, and they were immediately frightened. They didn't even have time to make a second reaction, the half-open city gate was already squeezed open, and the people outside the city rushed into the city with a roar, and under the leadership of some people, they went straight to the county office.

It was only at this time that Hao Jincai and Zheng Laibao knew that something was wrong. Last night, the two discussed things late, under Zheng Laibao's warm invitation, Hao Jincai also unceremoniously stayed in the Qinglou at night, Zheng Laibao even recruited several women to sleep together, when the faint roar in the city woke the two from their dreams, outside, the angry county lieutenant and Zheng Laibao's lieutenant had already broken into their boss's house separately.

At this time, I can't care about the face of my boss.

The two disheveled officials trotted all the way to the county office, and while running Zheng Laibao hurriedly gave orders to the guards around him, compared to Hao Jincai's dark face, Zheng Laibao still seemed calm, he had a thousand elite troops in his hands, do these mud legs want to rebel, then kill him with a rolling head, a bright red head, that represents his hot future.

There was even some excitement in his heart.

"Pacify!" Hao Jincai glared at Zheng Laibao, slapped the table and shouted: "Immediately invite those people from prison to come here, and let them come forward to appease these people, these people originally came in their name, as long as these people are released, there will be no reason for these people, at least most of them will disperse." ”

"Extermination!" Zheng Laibao went one step further and directly flipped the table, "The chaotic people gather and threaten the officials of the imperial court, this is a rebellion, this wind cannot be long, if you are threatened by these chaotic people and soften, how will you manage it in the future?" Hao County Order, how do you collect your taxes? How can you be an official? Only by killing an example can we deter these mud legs. ”

"You can't kill people indiscriminately!" Hao Jincai was so anxious that he jumped to his feet, "General Zheng, the people here are already fierce, and if they disagree, they will fight, once the army starts to kill people, I am afraid that it will provoke a large-scale civil uprising, and it will be out of control at that time." ”

"Isn't this a massive civil uprising?" Zheng Laibao sneered.

"Now they are just petitioning, and there is room for buffer, but once the army moves, it will be difficult to recover. General Zheng, anyway, I'm the county commander here, I'll go talk to them first. I promised them to release those people you captured and let them disperse first, even if they were to be punished, it could not be at this time, although they could settle accounts later! "Hao Jincaidao.

"Okay." Zheng Laibao didn't expect that the guy in front of him still had the courage, and now in this situation, he let himself go to the chaos alone, and he didn't have the courage. "You go and talk, if the talk is successful, if the talk is not successful, then I will go on a killing spree."

Hao Jincai swallowed a mouthful of saliva, unlike Zheng Laibao, a foreign general, he was a pro-people official on the side of the herdsman, and he really let Zheng Laibao kill him, and in the end, it was himself who got the mold. After straightening his clothes, he strode out of the county office. Outside the county office, a group of soldiers has already set up a formation, the pikemen are in front, the sword and shield soldiers are in the center, and the crossbowmen are behind, although there are only more than 1,000 people, but the county government itself is not big, plus the county soldiers and government servants, they dare to defend steadily.

Standing on a table brought by the soldiers, Hao Jincai looked at the confused head, and his heart was also panicked, and he finally calmed down, cleared his throat, and shouted vigorously.

"Folks, I am Hao Jincai, the county magistrate of this county! I have something to say to you. ”

After all, it is still a county order, and for the common people, it is still very prestigious, and Hao Jincai's opening, the noisy scene, slowly quieted down.

Looking at the scene that gradually calmed down, Hao Jincai was overjoyed.

At this time, in another place in the county, in a small courtyard, hundreds of men gathered, among them, there were warriors who looked fierce, but most of them were some ruffians who were in the flow of air, and standing in front of them was Wu Xin who was with Mo Luo.

"Brothers, we can't eat enough and don't have warm clothes, but these dog officials are dressed and fed, looking for flowers and asking willows, those rich gentry also eat like fat pigs one by one, why? Why do we work hard all year and can't even support ourselves? ”

"Fuck it." A ruffian raised his arms in the crowd and shouted, if Wu Xin saw this kind of person in normal times, he would not look at him with his eyes, but now, this guy is too cute in his eyes.

"In front of us, it is the grain that these dog officials have stolen from outside, a large warehouse and a large warehouse, and countless silver taels, haha, now that their soldiers have gone to the county office, it is our good opportunity to grab his vote, and then we will fly away. Went to live a fairy-like day. ”

"Fuck it, rob it." More people were excited by the white flowers.

"Let's go, rob the fuck." Wu Xin turned around, kicked open the gate of the courtyard, and took the lead in rushing out. On him, hundreds of people rushed out after him, and these people were all carrying guys in their hands.

Less than 100 meters away, it is the county treasury of Shangzhi County. Because the people gathered to make trouble, the original more than 100 county soldiers here were transferred to the county office, and now only a few old and weak soldiers are left guarding the gate.

Several veterans looked at the mob on the street, brandishing knives and guns, shouting and rushing, and they were stunned for a moment, and it took a while to react, "The rioters are going to rob the county treasury, hurry, close the gate." Signal for help. ”

Several veterans rushed into the gate, and with a bang, the gate closed tightly, and a rocket flew into the sky with a sharp whistle.

Wu Xin was the first to rush to the gate of the county treasury, and when he saw the closed gate, he sneered, strode forward, raised his fist, roared, and there was a loud bang, the gate turned into a few pieces of broken wood and flew inward, and the figures of the two veterans also flew out upside down in countless fragments, falling into the snow, spraying blood, and seeing that they couldn't live.

"Fuck it." More than 100 people cheered and rushed into the county treasury, inside, stacks of grain mountains and boxes of silver ingots, which instantly made them have nothing else in their eyes.

Looking at those guys who were frantically looting, Wu Xin smiled slightly, walked to a grain stack, took out some powder from his arms, swept it on top of the grain stack, shook the fire fold, and threw it on it.

With a boom, the fire burst into the sky with puffs of black smoke.

Shangzhi County Prison, several prisoners are a little nervous, because the guards here have also been transferred, and now this place is empty, if someone comes to rob the prison, they really can't stop it.

But what was afraid of something, just in the midst of everyone's worries, a big man with a knife walked in the direction of the prison step by step.

"What man, stop!" One of the cell bosses raised his bow and crossbow in his hand, mustered up the courage to shout, and behind him, the few remaining jailers also drew their knives at the same time.

The big man with the knife didn't seem to see the obstruction of these people, and still walked steadily step by step.

Sure enough, it was a prison robbery, the head of the cell was there, raised the bow and crossbow in his hand, and was about to launch it at the big man in front of him, but there was a flower in front of him, but there was only an empty street in front of him, the big man had long since disappeared, and before he had a second reaction, he only felt a cold throat, a hissing sound came, and his eyes were blood-red, and he fell to the ground.

The big man with the knife rushed into the jailer, raised the knife in his hand, one by one, cut the jailer to the ground with three strokes and five divided by two, cut the melon and chop the vegetables, walked to the front of the cell, raised the knife in his hand, the iron lock fell to the ground, and the big man dragged the bloody knife into the gloomy prison.

The cells in the county town were not large, but now they were overcrowded, and the shouts and screams from outside had already alarmed the people who were being held inside, and they rushed to the fence one by one, nervously looking at the big man who walked in from the outside.

Looking at these people, a sinister smile appeared on the big man's face, "Everyone, for the sake of our eldest brother's great cause, I have to wronged you to go first." I'm so sorry! ”

He pulled out a torch stuck in the wall and threw it on the haystack in a cell, and the fire flared, and in the midst of the screams of the crowd, he took out a paper bag from his bosom, flicked his fingers, and threw it into the fire, and with a loud bang, the flames began to spread at an alarming speed. Inside the cell, screams and cries for help rang out.

The big man laughed and dragged his knife out of the prison, looking back at the prison, which was already a sea of fire. (To be continued.) )
