The housekeeper took his servant outside the courtyard, looked at the people swarming in, and then looked at the servant behind him who was holding a sharp knife, with a disdainful sneer on his lips.
"Who are you? How dare you come to Mr. Chen's place to act so recklessly? You really don't know how to live or die!"
Originally, the rogues rushed in front, but looking at the sharp blades in the hands of the servants, they became a little timid again.
At this moment, bursts of roars suddenly came from the crowd.
"Hurry up and tell Chen Jiang to return our food, otherwise we will attack him."
Hearing these words, the housekeeper felt as if he had been stepped on. His face turned red with anger and he screamed, "How dare you call me by my name? Don't you want to live anymore?"
"We don't care about that. Let him return the food to us as soon as possible."
"If you don't let Chen Jiang come out, we will attack him."
A disdainful sneer appeared on the corner of the housekeeper's mouth, and he waved his hand behind him, "If any of them dare to rush over, chop me hard. If something happens, I will naturally take care of you."
The servants standing behind him immediately responded and drew their weapons with fierce expressions on their faces.
"Whoever dares to come here again, my knife is not a vegetarian."
The common people were shocked when they saw the knives in the hands of the servants, and some people were already thinking of retreating.
Suddenly someone in the crowd shouted loudly, "Since they won't give us food, we will fight in and take away all their food."
"Yes, old guy Chen Jiang has a lot of food hidden in his house. If we find out all of it, we can get through this year."
There were more and more cries from the crowd, and before long, the crowd of common people began to surge towards the door of the Chen family like a wave.
The people in front looked at the bright sword and were so frightened that they wanted to retreat. However, the people behind pushed forward hard, and they could only move forward step by step.
The housekeeper sneered and said, "Let me chop it down and let's see which one of them dares to charge forward."
The servant saw a commoner rushing towards him. Without saying a word, he stepped forward and slashed his shoulder with a knife.
"ah!"
The common man was stabbed and screamed in pain. He wanted to retreat, but he couldn't retreat and could only scream as hard as he could.
At this moment, bursts of loud shouts came from the crowd.
"Folks, since they don't give us a way to survive, we will fight with them."
As the words fell, dozens of people suddenly rushed out of the crowd, each with a sharp knife in their hand. They rushed to the front, raised the knife and chopped down the dozen servants blocking the front to the ground.
"Folks, if they don't give us a way to survive, we will never spare them. Go ahead."
While these people were shouting, they kept chopping down the servants of the Li family with the swords in their hands.
When the housekeeper saw the people approaching with ferocious force, his face suddenly changed with fright, and he turned around and ran away.
"No, they're coming in."
The servants saw the housekeeper running away and hurriedly retreated to the yard.
"Kill!"
As the servants retreated, the people poured through the gate like a tide and rushed into the Li family yard.
Chen Jiang was discussing the next thing with everyone, when bursts of killing sounds suddenly came from outside the door.
Hearing this voice, Chen Jiang frowned and waved to everyone, "Don't panic, everyone. It seems that the housekeeper made too much noise. Just wait and it will be fine."
As soon as he finished speaking, the housekeeper ran in from the door with a pale face and said in a hoarse voice, "Master, it's bad, the people are rushing."
"What?"
Upon hearing the news, Chen Jiang was stunned for a moment, and then roared angrily, "Trash, even those common people can't stop you, so what use do you have."
The butler said with a sad face, "Master, there are too many of them, we really can't stop them."
Chen Jiang slammed the table hard and said, "Hurry up and recruit more people. If you come here and run wild, give me a good beating and let them know how powerful I am."
It's a pity that although Chen Jiang had good intentions, the people had already rushed in crazily, and the number of people was getting larger and larger. It was not that easy to stop him.
"Kill!"
"Ahhh!"
When everyone in the room heard the shouts of killing getting louder and louder outside, they turned pale with fright and could no longer sit still.
"Boss Chen, we'd better leave as soon as possible. It's too dangerous."
Chen Jiang's face was livid and he snorted coldly, "Don't worry, everyone, the housekeeper has already sent people to drive them away. These timid guys will be driven away later."
As soon as he finished speaking, the housekeeper ran in from the outside with sweat on his face and said, "Master, it's over now. Our people can't hold it anymore, so we'd better run away."
Chen Jiang was immediately furious, and just as he was about to speak, bursts of shouts suddenly came from outside the door, "It's not good, they let go, let's run."
As these words fell, the smell of thick smoke drifted in from outside the door.
Chen Jiang was immediately startled and hurriedly walked to the door. When he saw the scene outside the door clearly, his expression changed and he was shocked.
Multiple fires have been lit throughout the Chen family, and the fires are crackling and burning everywhere. Thick smoke is billowing, and there are shouts of killing everywhere.
Chen Jiang was finally a little scared, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and a chill rose from the bottom of his heart.
It’s over!
They set fire!
Seeing Chen Jiang's pale face and sweat on his forehead, the housekeeper hurriedly said, "Master, we'd better leave quickly, otherwise it will be too late."
Chen Jiang forced himself to calm down and roared angrily, "I don't believe it, do they still dare to attack me?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a gentleman saw the fire outside and was trembling with fear. He hurriedly wanted to run out, but he never thought that he met several people who rushed over. Without saying a word, he stepped forward and stabbed him.
"ah!"
The gentleman was hit in the neck with a knife, fell to the ground with a scream, and never moved again.
When Chen Jiang saw this scene, he was immediately frightened, and a warmth flowed down his thigh silently.
Li Fu's face turned livid, and he gritted his teeth and shouted, "Let's leave quickly. There are too many people and we can't stop them."
After finishing speaking, Li Fu ran towards the backyard first without waiting for anyone to answer.
Chen Jiang didn't even hesitate this time and immediately ran away, chasing after everyone's backs.
The group of people shivered and hid here and there, ran to the backyard, barely climbed over the backyard wall, and fled in a hurry.
Everyone stood in the distance, looking at the Chen family shrouded in thick smoke. Their faces were ashen and they did not dare to go back.
The housekeeper asked hurriedly, "Sir, they burned our house, what should we do?"
Chen Jiang's eyes were filled with anger, and anger almost burst out of his eyes, and his teeth were clenching.
"It's hateful that you dare to treat me like this. Let's go to Xuzhou right now and ask Mr. Gong Yu to send out soldiers to capture them all."
A gentleman turned to Li Fu and cupped his hands, "Boss Li, you have many ways, what should we do now?"
Li Fu looked at the embarrassment of everyone, sighed secretly in his heart, and said slowly, "Don't be impatient, why don't you come to my house to rest for a while and then discuss a countermeasure."
Everyone couldn't think of anything and could only nod in agreement.
The group of people stumbled towards the Li family. When they arrived, they discovered that the Li family was also shrouded in a sea of fire.
Chen Jiang's home was burned down by the common people, and Li Fu only sympathized with him, but when his own home was also burned down, he was so angry that his mouth was filled with smoke, and he roared with a ferocious face.
"These hateful things dare to be so outrageous. We must avenge this."
Chen Jiang knew that Li Fu belonged to Mi Zhu, and if he went to Xuzhou with him, he would have a greater chance of sending troops.
"Boss Li, in that case, we will go to Xuzhou now. When we come back with our troops, we must take revenge."
Li Fu suddenly sneered, "Boss Chen, Xiaopei has ready-made troops, why do you want to go to Xuzhou?"
Hearing this, Chen Jiang was stunned and asked tentatively, "Boss Li, do you mean to go find Lu Bu and ask him to send troops to avenge us?"
Li Fu nodded, "Yes, let Lu Bu send troops to save us from going as far as Xuzhou."
Chen Jiang frowned, "But, will Lu Bu agree to send troops?"
One of the gentry sighed, "If we treat Lu Bu like this, I'm afraid he wishes the people would do this, so why would he send troops to avenge us?"
Li Fu snorted coldly, "If Lu Bu refuses to send troops, then we will go to Xuzhou and tell Liu Shijun about this matter, saying that the people are making trouble and Lu's arrangement is ignored, which leads to the disaster.
When Liu Shijun finds out about this, he will definitely be angry. Then it will not be so easy for Lu Bu's son to stay in Xuzhou. "
After hearing this, everyone nodded, "Boss Li is still more skilled. I will listen to your orders."
These gentry are all pampered people, and they usually ride in carriages. Today's situation is embarrassing, and there is no condition for riding in carriages, so they can only walk towards the city.
Panting, a group of people came to the gate of Lu Mansion. When they saw the soldiers guarding the gate, they hurried forward.
"Please inform Marquis Wen. I will ask for you if there is something urgent."
The soldier shook his head and said, "Marquis Wen is not here, so it is useless for me to inform you."
Li Fu was stunned and asked doubtfully, "May I ask where Marquis Wen went?"
Just as the soldier was about to speak, there were hurried footsteps inside the door. Everyone turned around and saw Chen Gong and Zhang Miao hurriedly walking out.
Li Fu hurriedly stepped forward and raised his hands to the two of them, "Mr. Gongtai, Mr. Meng Zhuo, something serious has happened. Our home has been set on fire by those common people. Please send troops to rescue."
When Chen Gong heard the question, he spread his hands with a wry smile, "Boss Li, I also want to send troops to you, but there are no troops to send, so what can I do?"
"No soldiers?"
Li Fu was stunned and asked hurriedly, "Mr. Gongtai, why is this?"
Chen Gong looked at the people behind Li Fu, frowned and asked, "Boss Li, those people set fire to your homes for food, and things are not going well in the city now!"
Having said this, Chen Gong sighed and said, "Boss Li, there was not much food in the city originally. Some time ago, the people had no food. I persuaded Marquis Wen not to release food, but he refused. Now not only the people have no food, but even the army The food in the house is already running out.”
Li Fu was surprised, "Mr. Gongtai, there is no food in the military camp?"
Chen Gong nodded with a wry smile, "There was not much food in the first place, and so much was distributed. As a result, the food is now in short supply and the soldiers are dissatisfied. Marquis Wen hurried to the military camp early in the morning to appease the morale of the soldiers."
Zhang Miao stepped forward and sighed, "Boss Li, the military morale in the military camp is unstable now. Even if we want to send troops now, I'm afraid it's impossible!"
Chen Gong frowned and said, "Boss Li, why don't we wait until the morale of the army stabilizes and then we tell Marquis Wen about this and ask him to send troops?"
Chen Jiang, who was standing aside, finally couldn't help it anymore and stepped forward and said, "Mr. Gongtai, if the morale of the military remains unstable, wouldn't it mean that no one will rescue us, and we will just watch the common people rob our food?"
Chen Gong spread his hands, "Boss Chen, of course you can send troops if you want. However, I have already made it clear that the morale of the army is unstable now and I am afraid that it will not be mobilized well. If there is a bigger accident, I will not Be responsible.”
"Accident?" Chen Jiang was stunned, "What accident?"
Zhang Miao suddenly sneered, "Boss Chen, those common people are unarmed, so they make you such a mess.
These soldiers in the military camp have guys in their hands, do you understand? "
Hearing this, Chen Jiang reacted suddenly and took a breath when he thought of the gentleman who fell under the knife.
Although a group of common people without weapons is dangerous, it is also limited.
Once a group of soldiers with sharp blades go crazy, no one can stop them.
Thinking of this, Chen Jiang's expression changed and he subconsciously took a step back, "No need."
Chen Gong nodded, "In that case, you guys can think of a way. We will go to the military camp to stabilize the morale of the army, and we won't be here with you anymore. Let's take our leave."
After speaking, Chen Gong and Zhang Miao left in a hurry.
The gentlemen looked at the two men's backs and asked hurriedly, "Boss Li, what should we do now?"
Li Fu's face was ashen and he clenched his fists tightly. After a long time, he suddenly sighed and said, "Let's all split up and ask around to see what's going on at home."
Everyone was also worried about the situation at home. After hearing these words, they all handed down and left.
More than an hour later, everyone gathered together again, but Li Fu and Chen Jiang were not the only ones with ugly faces.
"Boss Li, now our house has been robbed. If we are lucky, some houses can be left behind. If we are unlucky, they will be burned down by fire. These people are too cruel. What do you think we should do?"
Li Fu suddenly sneered, "Everyone, since Lu Bu doesn't care about this matter, let's go to Xuzhou to file a complaint."
When Chen Jiang heard this, he nodded hurriedly, "Okay, let's go to Xuzhou now, tell Liu Shijun the situation here, and ask him to make the decision for us."
A gentleman frowned and asked, "Boss Li, Boss Chen, even if you go to Xuzhou, will Ambassador Liu take care of our affairs?"
Hearing this, Li Fu waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, everyone, just obey orders. When the time comes, I can assure you that Ambassador Liu will definitely give an explanation when he finds out about this matter."
Chen Jiang suddenly snorted coldly, "Boss Li, I think it would be better to ask Commander Liu to directly send troops to drive away Lu Bu's son."
Li Fu was stunned for a moment, then waved his hand and said slowly, "Boss Chen, we can wait until we get to Xuzhou to discuss this matter. What do you think?"
