The head of the Hu family, Hu Can, died, and the Hu family was finished.
Li San, who attacked from behind, led his men into the Hu family who were completely defenseless. Hong Si was in the front and was reluctant. The Hu family could only feel the steel knife coming from behind in despair.
The screams, begging for mercy, screams and curses of the female family members were endless. The Hu family was dying in the main hall of the Hu family.
However, some lucky people took advantage of the chaos and escaped.
The backyard was still in a state of ruin by Li San, and the surviving men and women could only run towards the main entrance.
Who would have thought that the rude and rude military men who were the most annoying would become the only life-saving straw that could be grasped.
"Brother Ninth, will the soldiers outside the door really save us?" The twelve-year-old girl asked her cousin, who was carrying her and running desperately to the front door, with a confused look on her face.
"Don't worry, Sister Ling. The third uncle is a doctor from the Ministry of Revenue. We are official relatives. They will definitely take care of it, definitely, definitely!" Seventeen-year-old Brother Jiu was so tired that he didn't want to speak while carrying her, but he also escaped. The cousin who came out but was missing a forearm answered the question for his nephew.
Not only to answer Sister Ling, but also to everyone who escaped.
Sure enough, although the few people who also escaped beside him didn't say a word, they could clearly feel that their running steps were faster and more determined.
The Hu family was not big, so several people quickly ran to the front door, only to find that the door was half open. Zhong Ren, who was nervous due to the rebellion of the nurses, stopped in place alertly. It’s curfew today, so the front door is obviously closed!
Just as he was about to go find the concierge, he heard shouts of killing coming from behind him. The last direct descendants of the Hu family were so frightened that they no longer cared about anything fishy and escaped first.
As soon as they went out, they saw a group of soldiers standing in front of their house. The few survivors immediately breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly ran to the soldiers.
"Help, General, please save us!"
"We are from the Hu family. Our third master is a doctor from the Ministry of Household Affairs. We are official relatives. Come and protect us!"
The Hu family members who grabbed the life-saving straw no longer had the determination they had when escaping. They collapsed on the street without any image, breathing heavily and wearing rough clothes, like a bereaved dog.
There was absolutely no doubt as to why this army was just standing on their doorstep.
"Boy, let me ask you, what happened inside?" The leader suddenly spoke and looked at the young man who was lying on the ground as tired as a dead dog. He was the closest to him.
"General. Hu! Guarding the hospital is contrary to Tiangang Hu. Rush into the lobby and kill anyone you see."
"Brother Ninth! Brother Ninth, stop talking!" The little girl named Sister Ling quickly stopped her cousin from talking, helped him up, let him lean on her, and patted her cousin's back with her hands to help. He was happy. Brother Ninth feels better now.
Seeing that her cousin no longer coughed and gasped, the little girl breathed a sigh of relief and rolled her eyes at the military man who asked the question.
It was completely non-lethal, and he ignored the little girl's eyes, his eyes still cold.
"Killing people on sight?" Mr. Ba asked coldly and hoarsely, as if he had no emotion at all, and he didn't ask anyone in particular.
The shouts of death inside the door were getting closer and closer, but when they were about to go out, they suddenly became quiet.
"They're all dead, so just a few of us escaped." In the face of a powerful enemy, his cousin, the eldest among the few who escaped, took a few deep breaths to calm down, and then replied to the general.
"Yeah." The boss didn't look at him. He kept staring at the half-open door, alert to the enemies who might burst out and run out at any time.
Half of the face was stretched out.
Boom!
A white-feathered arrow hit the eye and penetrated nearly a third of the way. The man with half of his face stretched out immediately fell to the ground without making any sound.
It is the archer and good shooter assigned by Jia Hui to each team.
There was a commotion behind the door, but no one dared to poke their heads out.
The Hu family ignited the hope of revenge.
Just as he was about to step forward and ask these soldiers to avenge his family, his train of thought was interrupted by the commander-in-chief waving his hand.
"Let these people go down!" Mr. Ba waved to his men. The men understood and took the remnants of the Hu family down with their own little flags.
The uncle, who was full of words and couldn't say anything, was a little angry, but he was stronger than others. There were nearly a hundred people standing here, and he even lost a forearm. What's more, they still need their help to avenge the family feud, so they stopped talking.
Xiaoqiguan helped Brother Ninth, who was still recovering from the illness, from the ground, and led the Hu family to a small alley.
My cousin and several other teenagers felt uneasy. They who lived here vaguely remembered that this was a dead end.
"This little brother, where are we going?" Blood has been flowing out from the broken arm, and there are many stab wounds on his body. At the same time, the bleeding cousin has reached his limit. The large amount of blood loss has made his complexion pale. He was pale and unconscious. If he hadn't been supported by his two nephews, he would have fallen to the ground long ago.
His chaotic brain could no longer think, but the uneasiness coming from his heart still made him cheer up and ask the flag officer.
The flag officer suddenly stopped and turned to look at the remaining direct descendants of the Hu family. His cold face seemed to contain suppressed anger.
When dispatching tasks this afternoon, the superior not only gave them military orders, but also a record of the Hu family's embroidered clothes and guards, which recorded almost every detail of the Hu family's unscrupulous behavior in the village outside the city. After reading it, they took it back.
There is no more sympathy for them being killed.
Drawing a knife, slashing, screaming, crying, cursing, begging for mercy.
The flag officer led his subordinates who were spattered with blood out of the alley.
There were a few people missing from the team, and there were a few more bodies in the alley.
After returning to the team, the flag officer came to the commander-in-chief to return his orders.
"Dead?" Boss Bao drew his knife and looked at the door of Hu's house.
"There is no whole body left." Xiaoqiguan replied.
The general manager nodded.
"The slaves of the Hu family colluded with the White Lotus bandits and committed crimes below. They lost their conscience and slaughtered the master's family. Brothers, follow me to put down the rebellion!"
. . . . . .
"It's almost half an hour, I guess you have already started to collect the slaves, right?"
In the back hall of the Ministry of War, Jia Yucun, whom he had not seen for a long time, was drinking tea with Tan Ji.
Jia Yucun has been responsible for clerical work in the Jiangnan camp recently, but he has been working as a cow and horse for Jia Hui for almost two months. Now he finally has some free time and can drink tea with acquaintances.
Tan Ji's face was calm and calm, but his trembling hand holding the tea cup showed his inner agitation.
"No surprise, yes." At this time, Jia Yucun was more like an embroiderer than Tan Ji.
"Grand Governor, why are you doing this? You have to risk the disapproval of the world and let the rebels massacre their families. These people are the mainstays of the Jiangnan faction! If you take them for your own use," although Tan Ji also despises these so-called Jiangnan factions. The aristocratic family has a reputation for eating, but it is a pity to kill them all with the help of a knife.
"What's the pity? Yesterday is the result of today. The sins I have committed are too harsh to treat my slaves. Isn't it inevitable that there will be backlash?" Jia Yucun actually felt that it was a pity to abandon the Jiangnan aristocratic family, but after all, it was Jia Hui's decision. As his benefactor, Jia Yucun only needs to closely follow Jia Hui's footsteps. He has no help in preserving these Jiangnan aristocratic families. Whether they die or not has nothing to do with him.
It's better to pay attention to how much credit this counterinsurgency can bring to Jia Yucun.
"Thousands of households, urgent reports from hundreds of households in Zhenjiang!" Tan Ji was still about to say something, but the embroidered clothes warrior who ran over in a hurry attracted their attention.
"Urgent report? Call in!" Tan Ji suddenly stood up and walked quickly towards the door. Several embroidered men were slumped on the ground, as if they were surviving a disaster.
"What happened in Zhenjiang?" Tan Ji asked directly without waiting for them to salute.
The few people in embroidered clothes couldn't kneel down or stand up. They could only sit on the ground and report with their heads raised:
"If we go back to Qianhu, a group of suspected White Lotus sect members wearing white clothes attacked the commander's office tonight at Xu's hour. Commander Liu was seriously injured on the spot. Now, Master Wu Feng, the commander's colleague, is leading the Zhenjiang Guards and the White Lotus sect to confront each other in the city. No one could do anything before we left the city, but more and more White Lotus sect members were gathering in Zhenjiang. Wu Tongzhi and Master Baihu sent a small number to Jinling to ask for help! Master Qianhu, Zhenjiang is in danger, please let the Governor hurry up Send troops to rescue the brothers!" Xiao Qi who replied looked at Tan Ji's face anxiously, very worried about the safety of Zhenjiang Guards.
"What? The main force of the White Lotus Thieves is actually in Zhenjiang Guards! Please quickly follow me into the lobby to see the Governor!"
Tan Ji was shocked, grabbed Xiao Qi's arm and ran towards the main hall.
Xu Shi? White Lotus Cultist?
Let's not talk about how long it takes to mobilize troops and generals from the beginning of Xushi to the confrontation between the two sides. Even if the commander runs to Jinling when he is attacked, can he get there in more than an hour on horseback at night? Especially there is no moon tonight!
Not to mention that our official name for the White Lotus Sect is the White Lotus Thief.
Ah!
No matter what he thought in his heart, on the surface Tan Ji still maintained an "I already believe it" look and dragged Xiaoqi towards the main hall.
Hey, are these Eagle Claw Suns so easy to deceive?
Seeing that this so-called Qianhu Xiuyi walked around the main hall without even confirming, Xiaoqi suddenly felt that everyone was about to finish.
"Grand Governor, urgent report from Zhenjiang!" Before entering the main hall, Tan Ji shouted towards the main hall.
"Come in, report here quickly!" The civil and military officers still sitting in the lobby of the Ministry of War were attracted by Tan Ji's words and looked out the door at the same time.
I saw the stocky Qianhu in embroidered clothes leading a seven-foot tall man into the house, kneeling on one knee and saluting the governor Jia Hui who was sitting behind the map.
Xiao Qi behind him quickly imitated Tan Ji in front of him, also knelt down on one knee and bowed his head towards the door to sign up.
But he didn't notice that at the moment he lowered his head, Tan Ji's left hand suddenly stretched forward and made a strange gesture. The military attachés immediately understood and made a "shut up" sign to the surrounding civil servants. He gestured, and then sat upright on the chair without making any movements.
Seeing the gestures in front of Tan Ji and the gestures of the military attachés to prevent them from speaking, the civil servants were confused and turned to look at Jia Hui. When Jia Hui nodded towards them, the civil servants calmed down their hearts. Doubtful, he made up his mind and shut his mouth.
"Come in!" Jia Hui's voice reached the ears of the two people outside the door. They both said yes before standing up and entering the lobby of the Ministry of War.
"Grand Governor, there is an urgent report from Zhenjiang. There are White Lotus thieves who are causing trouble in the Zhenjiang Acropolis. The commander is seriously injured and is unconscious. Wu Feng, the commander's colleague, is temporarily taking command and is confronting the White Lotus thieves in the city!" Tan Ji reported to Jia Hui.
As soon as Tan Ji finished speaking, the entire lobby exploded.
Zhenjiang is only 140 miles away from Nanjing!
Trouble! Trouble!
Jia Hui, who had known the news for a long time, did not change his expression, and he still looked like he was facing the collapse of Mount Tai without changing his expression. Tan Ji just made a gesture to show whether this person was careful or not, or to let him tell the story he made up first before making a decision.
"Really? Let Xiao Qi get up and answer." Jia Hui's words spread throughout the hall, not loudly, but everyone fell silent.
Xiaoqi now also understands the aura of a big shot.
"Jiang Zhong, a small bannerman of the Zhenjiang Hundred Household Office, pays homage to the Governor!" Jiang Zhong saluted Jia Hui honestly, then knelt on the ground motionless. Everything he says next must be done with caution.
"when?"
"Xushi!"
"When is Xu Shi? And what is the situation? Tell me in detail."
"Yes! I remember clearly that it was Xu Shizheng! At that time, the self-ringing bell in the lobby of Baihusuo was ringing, and I heard a cannon sound outside the house. Master Baihu asked me to wait on the roof to investigate. Then I found that there were many bodies The men in white clothes and lotus flags rushed to the commander's office with swords and guns, and ran out not long after. The humble officials and others went over to take a look and found that the Zhenjiang Guards had surrendered since the commander-in-chief, except for Wu Feng and Wu Tongzhi who were on inspection. All three Qianshou of Zhenjiang Guards were killed in the battle.
The Zhenjiang government office was also almost captured. If Wu Tongzhi and others had not arrived in time with troops, the Zhenjiang government office would have followed in the footsteps of the commander's office.
Next, the brothers of Zhenjiang Guards and the White Lotus Sect members were confronting each other with the government office as the boundary. However, people in white clothes kept gathering in the city towards the White Lotus Sect. Nearly 50,000 people had gathered here! Wu Tongzhi and our hundred households sent us to Jinling for rescue!
Grand Governor, Zhenjiang is in danger now. I humbly ask you to send troops to Zhenjiang to rescue our brothers! "After Xiao Qi finished speaking, he knelt down on the ground and never dared to look up at Jia Hui again.
I always feel like Jia Hui is looking at my neck
The lobby of the Ministry of War immediately fell into silence.
Jia Hui calculated in his mind that to complete the set of procedures mentioned by the editor, even if Wu Tongzhi was replaced by Jia Hui, it would still take less than half the time from the time he learned that there was a rebellion and started gathering troops to the confrontation with the White Lotus bandit in the government office. Time, this still ignores many details
It's not a matter of command, but the location of the Zhenjiang Guard Army is a bit far away from the government offices in the city.
At this time, even some civil servants from different military departments also realized that the time when this person came over was wrong!
"This is unreasonable! The White Lotus thief is going too far! Where is Feng Tai?"
Just as everyone was thinking, the governor jumped up and slapped the case, looking very angry.
"Final General Feng Tai is here!" Feng Tai, who was sitting in the top chair, quickly stood up and held his hands towards Jia Hui.
"Quickly assemble 30,000 regular soldiers from the Firearms Battalion and Jiangnan Camp in front of Kaihuang Gate!"
"General, I obey the order!" Feng Tai didn't say much, and quickly walked out of the lobby of the Ministry of War and went to the square in front of the palace to select troops.
