"Boom—"

As a puff of black smoke rose, strings of fire flashed from the muzzle of the gun.

Huang Zongxiang only felt that his eyes were dark, and the watchtower under his feet shook, and before he could react, the entire watchtower collapsed with a bang.

Huang Zongxiang fell to the ground, and was just about to stand up, when a boulder smashed into his face, he dodged to the side, but where could he hide? The stone hit him right in the right leg.

"Ahh

Huang Zongxiang let out a miserable scream, gritted his teeth and lifted his breath to move the stone that had smashed on his leg. The stone is as big as a grinding plate, and when I was building the stockade, I only thought that the bigger it was, the stronger it would be, so where could I move it now? Pushing on it only made the stone shake, and crushing it on the broken leg hurt even more like a heart.

The leg under the stone must have been broken, Huang Zongxiang blinked, and two tears were squeezed out. Although others are fierce and domineering, they have not suffered this kind of suffering since birth. Xiao Yanei in Shangsizhou, before the age of ten, almost did not touch the ground, even when he was older, he often let his family lie on the ground and ride him as a horse, which was not a grievance at all. When he grew up and took the position of Zhizhou, the fate of everyone in the entire Shangsi Prefecture was pinched in his hands, who would dare to give him anger? Who would dare to scratch even a little of his skin?

But I didn't expect to suffer like this today, the heart-piercing pain penetrated into the soul along the bone marrow, Huang Zongxiang didn't have the anger just now, just inhaled the cold air and fought a cold war.

"Lord, are you okay? Where is it? ”

Hearing his subordinates shouting about himself, Huang Zongxiang suddenly had the spirit again, and hurriedly shouted: "Here, here, I was crushed by a stone, come and save me!" ”

"Come on!"

With the sound, Huang Zongxiang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard a voice outside.

Who knew that with the movement of people outside, a big iron pot on Huang Zongxiang's head was shaking. At first, he didn't pay attention until the hot oil inside shook out and spilled on his body, and he let out a miserable scream from his mouth, and when he looked up, the pot just smashed down and pressed his upper body.

"Ahh

The people outside heard the terrible screams coming from under the ruins, and they couldn't help but look at each other, and they didn't know what to do for a while.

With the collapse of the watchtower, a big hole appeared on the wall, and Gao Daquan said to the commander beside him: "The first is speeding up, the second is following me, the third is going around the left to guard the flank, the fourth is guarding the right flank, and the fifth is behind the palace!" Rush! ”

The command flag waved and the drum sounded suddenly, no longer as gentle as just now, like a raging storm, the sound was endless, and there were no other sounds between heaven and earth.

With the sound of the drum, Tong Dutou suddenly pulled out his waist knife and shouted: "Kill!" "Rush forward first.

Although the soldiers habitually stepped on the drum, they could no longer maintain the formation at this time, and only rushed out of the formation for a few dozen paces.

Tong Dutou was the first to rush to the collapsed wall, and when he saw someone rushing towards him, he slashed to the ground with a knife, and shouted: "If you don't want to die, kneel on the ground!" Knives and guns have no eyes! ”

At this time, it turned out that Huang Zongxiang's cronies on the watchtower had either died or been injured, and the owner of the village, Huang Zongxiang, was nowhere to be seen, and seeing the officers and soldiers who were constantly pouring in like fierce gods, the soldiers of Shangsizhou put down their swords, guns, bows and arrows, and knelt on the ground obediently one by one. They are soldiers to serve the main family, and they don't even have a little subsidy, which one will sell their lives? Someone forced it, and the main family didn't know whether they were alive or dead, of course, it was better to come early.

Tong Dutou's first capital entered the village, and immediately ordered the deputy capital head to lead people directly to the Zhizhai Hall in the center of the stockade according to the instructions in advance, and a few people were divided to open the gate of the village, and he was guarding the gap.

As soon as the gate of the wall opened, the fourth covering on the right guarded the gate of the wall, and the fifth capital behind the palace was put into the wall.

At this point, there was no suspense in the war, and Gao Daquan hurriedly sent his own soldiers out to restrain the soldiers who lived in the stockade from wantonly killing. Not to mention anything else, except for Huang Zongxiang's family, the rest are still the people of the court, but aside from this, they will have to be manpower to transport grain and things for a while.

Gao Daquan took the second capital with him into the stockade, went to the fallen watchtower, and asked the head of Tong Du, who was still guarding here: "Where is Huang Zongxiang?" Did you find it? ”

Tong Dutou pointed to the ruins and said, "I have asked, and the person is down here." ”

"Turn it out, you have to see people in life, and you have to see corpses in death!"

Hearing Gao Daquan's order, several soldiers hurriedly rushed forward and moved away the wood and stones that had fallen to the ground. From time to time, a corpse was picked up, and if it wasn't Huang Zongxiang, he moved it aside.

It was only when they reached the depths of the ruins that they saw a man dressed in satin, and several soldiers shouted, "Yes, yes, there is no second person here who wears this garment except the thief chieftain?" ”

Drag people out and carry them to the tall and full.

Gao Daquan looked at Huang Zongxiang in front of him, his cloak was scattered, he was covered in blood, and there were blisters burned by hot oil under his broken clothes.

Grabbing the hair of the people on the ground, Gao Daquan shouted: "You are Huang Zongxiang?" ”

Huang Zongxiang's eyes were confused, looking at Gao Daquan, where could he still speak?

Gao Daquan put a force on his hand, lifted Huang Zongxiang up, and said to the people around him: "Go, follow me to Zhizhou Yamen!" Tong Dutou, you send someone to guard here! ”

After speaking, Gao Daquan dragged Huang Zongxiang to take the lead.

At this time, the fire in the village was already lit, and there were voices of crying fathers and mothers everywhere. Gao Daquan's personal soldiers rode horses and loudly announced military orders, ordering the sergeants not to steal money and property privately and kill innocents indiscriminately.

When they arrived at the yamen, the sergeant guarding the door saluted Gao Daquan.

Gao Daquan nodded, did not stop, and dragged the half-dead Huang Zongxiang into the door.

In the courtyard of the yamen, there were more than a dozen people standing in a mess, both men and women, and there were many first-class servants on one side, who were serving Huang Zongxiang's inner house.

Seeing Gao Daquan, the deputy head hurriedly stepped forward to salute the army, and said in a loud voice: "Command, the traitor Huang Zongxiang's family has been taken here, and no one has escaped!" ”

Gao Daquan slammed Huang Zongxiang in his hand on the ground and said, "I know!" ”

When a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy saw Huang Zongxiang fainting on the ground, he pounced on him and hugged him and cried bitterly: "Daddy, why did you become like this?" Why did these people kick us out of our homes? ”

Gao Daquan pointed to the young man and asked the deputy capital: "This is the little yaman in the state?" ”

"Yes! It's all Huang Zongxiang's family over there! ”

"Take down the little ya, take it down! Leave the others alone, look at the people, and escort them back together! ”

Hearing the order, the deputy head stepped forward and picked up the young man and dragged him aside.

Gao Daquan raised the knife in his hand, mentioned Huang Zongxiang, and said to the crying Xiao Yanei: "Huang Zongxiang, the former governor of Shangsizhou, tore up the Shangguan warrant, resisted the order, and killed the Shangguan messenger, which is a big rebellion!" Shangguan ordered me to come here to take Huang Zongxiang's head! ”

Before the words fell, he raised his hand, cut off Huang Zongxiang's head, held it in his hand, and said to Xiao Yanei: "Shangsi Prefecture can't be left without an owner for a day, Huang Zongxiang is dead, and you will take over according to the law!" Shangguan has an order, you and I will go to Qianlongtong to recover your life! ”

Xiao Yanei was already trembling with fright, and roared loudly: "I'm not going!" I don't know what to know! Why did you kill my daddy? ”

"Zhizhou is an official of the imperial court, and you should be the one who you want to be? Unless it's Shangguan Junzhi, you have to sit on this son, and you have to sit if you don't sit! As for what happens in the future, follow me back and listen to Shangguan's orders! ”

After Gao Daquan finished speaking, he glanced at the deputy capital and walked to the Zhizhai Hall first.

The deputy capital held Xiao Yanei on his head and followed closely behind.

After entering the official hall of the Yamen, Gao Daquan sat down on the main seat and ordered someone to summon the bookkeeper who accompanied the army.

How to attack the stockade and how to act after breaking the stockade, Xu Ping had already carefully instructed before leaving, and now he just acted according to the plan before departure.

At that moment, the calligrapher wrote a notice on the table, searched for the official seal of the governor of Shangsizhou, stamped it, and brought Xiao Yanei over to draw a monogram.

After writing more than a dozen notices, Gao Daquan asked his soldiers to go to the village to post them everywhere, and said to the deputy capital: "I bother you to go out for a run, and tell the people in the village that you don't need to panic." ”

The deputy head of the capital promised, took Huang Zongxiang's head from Gao Daquan's hand, grabbed Buyanei with one hand, pulled the notice in his hand, and strode out of the hall door.

When they arrived in the courtyard, some soldiers had already led their horses, and the deputies turned over and got on their horses.

Riding out of the yamen, the deputy head of the capital raised Huang Zongxiang's head high, and shouted loudly: "Huang Zongxiang, the former governor of Shangsizhou, disobeyed the order and killed the messenger. Now that Huang Zongxiang has been subdued, other relevant people are not connected, and the post of Zhizhou will be taken over by his son, and the officials and people do not need to panic, and they can wait for the government to arrange with peace of mind! ”

While shouting, he walked around the stockade.

This is Xu Ping afraid that Huang Zongxiang still has any henchmen, and when he saw that his master was dead, he gathered trouble, so he first let Huang Zongxiang's son temporarily take over the position of Zhizhou in name.

As for what happens in the future, that's for later. When the various Tuzhou counties in Zuojiang Road are calmed down, there will naturally be many excuses for how to deal with them, which is nothing more than a prison city in which state to send this family to Jinghu Road.

The Song Dynasty didn't do much to deal with the prisoners, it was a major crime of rebellion, and the family members were just sent to the army, and the especially serious ones would not be official slaves and maids, and they would not turn over for the rest of their lives. However, even if they are official slaves and maids, their children can still intermarry with their belovers, and they are not slaves for generations.

As for ordinary criminal offenses, the woe does not affect the family. If the wife is sentenced to exile or not, she can choose to live with her husband in the place where she is allocated, or she can not go, and she can also ask the government to make a divorce and dissolve the relationship between husband and wife.

The deputy head of the capital went out to appease the people, Gao Daquan called Tong Dutou and asked him to give the wall of the wall to the guard's fifth capital, and he went out to see the various grain depots in the village, waiting for the clerk to go over to check.

The grain in the grain depot in Shangsi Prefecture must be transported, first, to supplement the shortage of grain and grass brought by Xu Ping, and secondly, if the grain is transported away, the rest of the people here cannot afford to make trouble.

At this time, the fire in the village gradually subsided, but the sun had only passed midday, and noon had not passed.
