"Master Bing, people from the Fairy Sect came to report that they found out that we were planning to rebel, and now the Fairy Sect has chosen to start a rebellion immediately!"
"This Fairness Cult is still quite capable, but it acts too openly and aboveboard! Go down."
"promise!"
After the informant went down, a group of senior White Lotus Sect leaders were summoned by the leader to discuss countermeasures.
"How are the brothers under our command?"
"The Hangzhou City Magistrate has communicated with us early. All brothers are safe!"
"Should we respond to the Fairness Cult and start an uprising together!"
"My foundation agrees with the uprising!"
"My Ministry of Armed Forces agrees with the uprising!"
"My industry department also agrees with the uprising." Seeing that the other two families agreed, the manager of the industry department could only express his agreement feebly.
After voting, the people returned to their respective areas of responsibility, gathered their troops, and threw cups as a sign of honor; the leader, through the prefect, wanted to entertain the imperial ministers, saying that he would raise food and wages for the imperial ministers to surround Hangzhou City; the imperial ministers planned not only to kill the rebels, I was clean, and I thought that I would have enough to eat this time, and the money and food were the top priority. The right way is to go first before the soldiers and horses use food and grass.
All parties here have their own thoughts. The stage for the banquet has been set, and they are just waiting for the date and actors to be ready.
The next day, the county magistrate came to the leader's residence early in the morning.
"Commander Shen, you have to act for me this time. I have been promoted, and you will benefit from it too!"
"You mean to get rid of the imperial envoy first, then you accept the order at the critical moment and successfully quell the rebellion!"
"What a good plan! I want the food this time!" After the leader finished speaking, he looked at the prefect and smiled proudly.
In the evening, the banquet began.
"Commissioner Shen is indeed a loyal minister of the dynasty, a loyal and brave man, and truly a role model for our dynasty!" The Imperial Envoy said as he glanced around the table.
"You are truly a loyal and brave man of our court! ×N" All the members smiled and said words of praise.
"I think I should serve the imperial court, and I personally raise 1,000 taels of silver as food and salary!" One of the members saw the opportunity and hurriedly expressed his position. The other members immediately responded and talked about the money and food they had contributed.
The imperial minister was so happy to see how knowledgeable these officials were that he drank three drinks in a row. For a while, the guests looked at each other and laughed, and the atmosphere was harmonious.
In this cheerful atmosphere, the banquet reached the middle of the night, everyone was full of wine and food, the imperial ministers were full of ambition, and the soldiers under his command were also drinking red in the face during the banquet.
At this time, the banquet had lost its initial bustle, and everyone was planning to leave.
Suddenly, the sound of a cup falling to the ground came from nowhere, and everyone was frightened. Just as they were about to investigate what was going on, they saw some people walking out of nowhere, holding swords in their hands and looking fierce.
The imperial envoy Dacheng reacted and reached out to pull out the sword from his waist. However, this man drank so much wine at the banquet that it was difficult to stand up straight. He failed to put his hand on the hilt of the sword several times. The imperial envoy's guard could only He had time to draw out the weapon from his waist and surrounded the imperial envoy in the middle. The others could only lie down under the table in panic.
The man lying on the ground only heard the clash of weapons, and then the sound of fists hitting his body. He raised his head to secretly check the situation. The imperial envoy had been killed on the spot, and the county magistrate and Shen Yuanwai had been arrested by the gangsters. .
When the people around saw this scene, they no longer wanted to resist, and the whole group was arrested.
Hangzhou City.
The managers of the three ministries saw that the people here had been controlled, and the imperial minister had been killed on the spot. It was the moment when the soldiers in the city were leaderless, so they divided into two groups:
A group of people went straight to the county government office in Hangzhou to control the county government, the county government's tax revenue, and check the files to find out the situation of the big households in the city.
A group of people went straight to the barracks in Hangzhou City, surrounded the barracks in the darkness, first set fire to them, and killed everyone on sight. The soldiers here were sleeping, and they were wearing armor, and the leader was not there. How could a group of soldiers in full armor be there? armed adversary
When the soldiers on the city wall saw this situation, they already knew that the situation was over. If it were not for their duties, they would have dispersed long ago. Now they can only use their own lives to keep their families safe.
The city defenders who were determined to die made it impossible for the White Lotus Sect group to attack the city wall for a while. Several people in a row were hacked to death on the spot. The person in charge of the Ministry of Forces saw how serious this was.
I saw the person in charge of the Ministry of Forces snatching the machete from the person beside him, and immediately stepped forward, beating the soldiers back and forth. The person in charge found a flaw and killed the soldiers with one blow.
Shen Mansion.
Shen Baiyi and a group of others were locked in a firewood shed. Shen Baiyi took out a knife from nowhere and cut off the rope that bound him.
"There is a strong rebellion now, and we need your strength, but now we need time, money and food, it depends on what you think!"
"There is a secret order in my arms that can mobilize all the power in my house!"
"There is a secret order under my shoe, which can also mobilize all the power in my house!"
…
Finally, Shen Baiyi, the county magistrate and a bunch of tokens went to contact the people separately, formed a team, and rescued everyone.
"In this critical moment, the county magistrate should make the decision!"
"Please make the decision, Lord County Lord!"
"I have a request: but I have been ordered to act according to the order!" This is the county magistrate speaking out, expressing his willingness to accept responsibility.
All the members were also frightened by today's scene. Now that the imperial envoy has died again, the consequences are no longer something people like them can bear. The county magistrate has become their only life-saving straw, so they still have the idea of refusing to accept the offer. , they all agreed wholeheartedly.
The White Lotus Sect was also aware of the abnormal situation on the Shen Mansion side. However, the city of Hangzhou was so big that there was obviously a shortage of manpower. By the time they had handled the affairs in the city and assembled their troops to appear at the Shen Mansion, the servants of each family had also been assembled. Now both sides The power is almost the same.
"Give me money and food, and I'll retreat. If the moment comes when the fish is dead and the net is broken, are you ready to put your lives on the table?"
"Then you want too much money and food. What if I can't satisfy you?"
"Five hundred shi each for food and grass, you can definitely do it."
The three troops took the tax money and food and the food and fodder provided by five people, and led a long motorcade out of the city.
"Everyone, the White Lotus Sect is in rebellion. The imperial envoys sacrificed their lives for the country. They were ordered to do so in the face of danger in the county and the traitors were exterminated. We are all witnesses!"
"As Commissioner Shen said, we are all witnesses!"
"This will make me feel at ease!"
Only then did all the members recover from their fright, and now they went to Langkou again, which really made people feel uneasy. Seeing that the county magistrate had the intention of seeing off the guests, they all left one by one.
Only Shen Baiyi and the county magistrate were left in the Shen Mansion. After everyone left, the county magistrate gave Shen Baiyi a reassuring look and left.
Shen Baiyi looked up at the bright moon, as if thinking about this, then entered the room after a while, turned off the lights and went to sleep.
