Seeing the woman getting closer and closer.
For some reason, Hou Yonghui felt panicked in his heart.
Hou Yonghui trembled and said: "Old... old horse... what... something is wrong."
The Yamen servant did not answer when he heard this.
Instead, he whipped out his sword and strode towards the woman.
"Stop!" the officer shouted, raising his knife.
Frightened, the woman stumbled and fell to the ground.
"Who are you? What do you want to do if you don't make porridge?" The yamen servant suppressed the panic in his heart, took two steps quickly, put the blade on the woman's neck, and asked sternly.
A woman in ragged clothes and unkempt hair ran towards the wood pile uncharacteristically while everyone was rushing to the porridge shed to make porridge.
And looked extremely panicked.
If this is not abnormal, then what is.
The woman fell to the ground, feeling the coldness on her neck and trembling all over.
"Say!" the officer shouted loudly again, with a vaguely ferocious look on his face.
"Li... Li Er... Li Er wants to kill the big shopkeeper... and... he also wants to get all the people involved." The woman breathed heavily. Standing, holding back the fear in his heart, he stammered and finally managed to say a complete sentence.
"What did you say!" The officer's expression suddenly changed.
There was no time to delve into whether what the woman said was true or false. _o_m
He quickly asked: "Who is Li Er? Who is the big shopkeeper? When will we do it? Where will we do it?!"
The words just fell.
Ma Yamen realized that he was too anxious.
If a woman is frightened, it will be a big deal.
Ma Yamen hurriedly removed the waist knife from the woman's neck.
He knelt down and looked at the woman, and said softly: "Don't be anxious, speak slowly."
Perhaps the coolness on her neck was gone, and perhaps the slowness of Ma Yamen's voice gave the woman a certain sense of security.
The woman gasped several times, and then she explained exactly what the Yamen Officer asked her.
Upon hearing this, Ma Yamen's complexion changed drastically, and he stood up suddenly.
He quickly ran towards Hou Yonghui, who was hiding aside and trembling all over.
"Take two people to pick up the woman and protect her." Ma Yamen quickly explained.
Then he passed Hou Yonghui and ran towards the fast horse.
"What happened! What are you doing?!" Hou Yonghui came back to his senses, hurriedly caught up, and asked loudly.
Ma Yamen's pace did not slow down and he replied without looking back: "It's too late to explain! Protect that woman and yourselves!"
The words are over.
The horse servant quickly got on his horse, picked up his whip and whipped the fast horse hard, shouting angrily: "Drive! Drive! Drive!"
Ma Yamen no longer cares whether the news is true or false. The most important thing now is to report the news quickly.
As for authenticity, he believed that Xu Yi would make his own judgment.
...
High slope.
Xu Yi held the handle of the knife with one hand and looked down at the carriage slowly walking out of the suspension bridge with a serious face.
If there is someone with ulterior motives who wants to cause trouble.
Then, there are two periods of time that it cannot avoid no matter what.
One is now, the last time to give out porridge today.
At this time, the victims all poured into large porridge shacks everywhere. As long as there was a slightest spark, it was very likely to cause a large-scale trampling incident.
By then, even if the number of victims who died was very small.
This matter will definitely become a stain on Xu Yi's disaster relief work, and will even become the best weapon for those powerful families to attack Xu Yi.
The second is late at night, when both government officials and merchants will retreat to the city.
At that time, in the dead of night, the people behind the scenes can easily destroy the wood shipped by Xu Yi.
Completely destroy Xu Yi's plan to turn the big porridge shed into a small one and manage it by zoning.
Until then, they can carry on as usual.
But no matter which possibility it is, it will definitely give Xu Yi a queen.
Continued plans will cause immeasurable damage.
at this time.
Zhao Shou, who was escorting Zhou Hongxi into the city, also walked off the suspension bridge.
As soon as Fang stepped off the suspension bridge, he led a burly middle-aged man to quickly get on his horse and rush towards the high slope.
Xu Yi withdrew his gaze and walked firmly down the slope.
"Sixth Master!" Zhao Shou quickly turned over and dismounted from his horse, bowing his hands in salute.
At the same time, the burly middle-aged man quickly got off his horse and clasped his fists, saying: "Dong Xing, deputy general of Xuanpingmen, pays homage to His Highness the Sixth Prince."
Xu Yi nodded slightly and said straight to the point: "Have the soldiers been arranged?"
Knowing that something unexpected was very likely to happen, how could Xu Yi not take precautions in advance?
Dong Xing clasped his fists and said, "Back to Your Highness, everything has been arranged. As usual, two hundred soldiers will be wearing half-armor to escort the rice and porridge."
"The remaining three hundred soldiers will change their clothes and blend into the convoy. With just an order from His Highness, the five hundred soldiers will be assembled as quickly as possible."
Five hundred people may not seem like many, but they are already the largest force that Rong Pingchuan can mobilize.
And it can only be mobilized in the name of disaster relief.
"Okay." Xu Yi nodded and then ordered: "Please cheer up the soldiers. If you notice something is wrong, you can kill it first and then report it later!"
Dong Xing was shocked when he heard this, although he didn't know what would happen next.
But judging from the fact that Xu Yi first sent Zhao Shou to seek help from the city defenders, and then said that he could kill first and then report.
If nothing happens this time, it will be fine. If something happens, it will definitely not be a trivial matter.
Dong Xing couldn't help but solemnly said: "Follow the order!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he quickly got on his horse and chased towards the convoy.
After Dong Xing goes far away.
Xu Yi withdrew his gaze and turned towards Gao Po again.
Although the high slope here does not allow you to have a panoramic view of the whole situation, it is already the highest point outside Chang'an City.
Xu Yi doesn't know how it was formed, and doesn't care.
What he is most worried about now is how to survive this very likely crisis. @·No mistake first release~~
After all, there is still a shortage of manpower. If there are enough manpower, why bother?
Directly arrange a large number of people to disguise themselves and sneak into various places where disaster victims gather to inquire about the situation.
After the situation is clear, just arrange the manpower and kill him.
At this moment, Xu Yi was inexplicably looking forward to Lu Zaizhong's arrival.
If this person arrives, he can at least free up more than 20% of his manpower.
Among the six rooms, except for the household room, which cannot be moved lightly, the chief bookkeepers, code officials and government servants of the official room, ceremonial room, and military room can all be transferred.
Xu Yi sighed and then looked down again.
His eyes kept passing through the convoy and the victims.
After a while.
When the convoy is about to reach the first large porridge shed.
A figure riding a fast horse appeared in Xu Yi's eyes.
And that figure was running towards where he was without any hesitation.
"Sure enough, something happened!" Xu Yi secretly thought and walked quickly down the slope.
As he walked, he ordered: "Zhao Shou, call all the government officials!"
Zhao Shou's heart trembled, and he hurriedly agreed: "Follow the order!"
Then he ran quickly down the high slope.
When the Yamen servant came galloping on a fast horse.
The few dozen remaining government servants had already led their horses and stood behind Xu Yi, waiting for a long time.
"Report!" the horse servant shouted and hurriedly stopped the horse.
Without waiting for the horse to come to a complete stop, he turned over and jumped off the horse.
Then he quickly clasped his fist towards Xu Yi and said, "Master Qi, there is an abnormal situation nine miles to the left."
Without waiting for Xu Yi to ask, Ma Yamen quickly said all the important information in the shortest words.
The two groups, totaling 1,560 people, planned to take advantage of the porridge meal to kill the original big boss, the big shopkeeper.
After the deed was accomplished, he grabbed the treasure and escaped.
For this reason, he did not hesitate to disturb the victims outside Xuanpingmen.
At any other time, a merger of this scale would be nothing more than a small fight.
But now and then, it should be noted that this place is outside Xuanping Gate.
Owned here.
with tens of thousands of victims.
Not to mention whether they can successfully stir up all the victims.
Let’s just say how bad this thing is!
Among the tens of thousands of victims outside Xuanping Gate, these three small groups are by no means the only ones!
If they were allowed to do this! Others follow suit! It won't be long before there will be complete chaos outside the Xuanping Gate!
Xu Yi's face straightened and he ordered in a deep voice: "Zhao Shou! Go quickly and notify Vice General Dong! Immediately lead three hundred soldiers in disguise to where the big shopkeeper is!"
"We must surround the gathering place! Don't let anyone go!"
"The rest of you, mount your horses immediately! Come with me! If you encounter resistance! No need to report! Just surrender!"
The words are over.
Dozens of government officials shouted in unison: "Obey the order!"
Immediately, dozens of people got on their horses and rushed towards the place where the big shopkeepers gathered!
For a moment, there was an undercurrent surging outside the entire Xuanping Gate.
...
...
The convoy transporting porridge was moving forward slowly. Update without error@
Whenever it reaches a large porridge shed, the convoy changes to shorten one section.
at the same time.
The victims outside Xuanping Gate are also moving forward slowly.
During the march, there were many physical conflicts.
Fortunately, everyone's goal at this time was the porridge shed, so the physical conflicts were just minor conflicts.
No one would think of causing trouble at this time.
Except Li Er and Zhang Wu...
Unknowingly.
The team of victims led by Li Er and the team of victims led by Zhang Wu gradually overlapped.
Zhang Wu walked to Li Er quietly.
As he walked, he whispered: "The people from the big shopkeeper have already set off, and they have almost arrived at the porridge shed now."
There are also differences in strength among the victims. Those with higher strength will naturally be closer to the porridge shed.
Of course, in order to maintain order, gatherings are not allowed within a 500-step radius of the large porridge shed.
Li Er nodded slightly and asked in a low voice: "Have the brothers explained everything?"
Zhang Wu replied in a low voice: "Everything has been explained and I'm just waiting for you."
"That's good." Li Er nodded and said solemnly: "Let's go and fight quickly!"
The words are over.
Li Er whispered a few words to the people around him.
Immediately, seventy or eighty strong young people followed Li Er and Zhang Wu and slowly broke away from the army of victims.
In a short time, the two forces completely joined forces, and a total of 156 people slowly walked towards a large gathering place for victims not far away.
At this time, there were only some old, weak, sick and disabled people in the gathering place where the victims were unable to walk.
There are only one hundred, fifty or sixty strong young people left.
Most of them were distributed next to a large tent in the center of the gathering place.
Li Er looked deeply at the tent, the greed in his eyes almost overflowing!
"Brothers! Success or failure is decided in one fell swoop! It's done! Let's eat and drink spicy food every day!"
"If we lose! All of us will die!" Li Er shouted in a deep voice.
As soon as he said this, everyone around him showed greed.
When walking eighty steps.
As expected, everyone was stopped by two strong young men.
Two strong young men saw something was wrong and ran frantically towards the central tent.
"Second Master Li and Fifth Master Zhang, what have you been doing here all these years if you don't go out to make porridge?" a strong young man asked sharply.
"What are you doing here? Besides honoring the boss, what else can you do here?" Li Er grinned.
Then he put his hand into his arms and said, "After making porridge in the morning, I exchanged a few gold bricks from a fleeing boss."
"Gold bricks?" The strong young man looked disdainful. They had seen this kind of thing a lot.
"Yes, yes, big gold brick." Li Erhan added with a smile.
As soon as he finished speaking, he rushed towards one of the strong young men like an arrow from the string.
At the same time, the hand that reached into his arms was already taken out.
Just no.
However, what he held in his hand was not a gold brick.
It was a bronze dagger covered with patina. @*~~
"Pfft!" Unprepared for the mistake, the strong young man was stabbed to the core by Li Er.
After killing him with one blow, Li Er's face turned red and he roared loudly: "Come on! Kill the big shopkeeper first!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Er had no time to chase down another strong young man who was frightened and ran away like crazy.
He strode towards the central tent.
Behind him, more than 150 young people were filled with enthusiasm.
He yelled and rushed forward behind Li Er.
For a time, shouting and killing could be heard in the large gathering place of victims.
After receiving the news, the big shopkeeper quickly organized manpower to respond.
It's a pity that one side is so powerful and the other side is unable to prevent mistakes.
High and low will naturally be judged.
The big shopkeeper stood at the edge of the tent, looking at his men who were retreating with a pale face.
I couldn't help but feel secretly anxious.
God knows how Li Er and others got the news.
Seeing that his subordinates were completely unable to resist.
The big shopkeeper took a deep breath and roared loudly: "No matter who he is! As long as he can kill Li Er and Zhang Wu! I will reward him with one hundred taels of gold immediately!!!"
"Listen up! It's a hundred taels of gold! Not silver!"
As soon as these words came out, both warring parties couldn't help but be collectively stunned.
One hundred taels of gold, what is this concept?
Even if you go to a wealthy place such as Jiangnan, it is enough to buy a three-bedroom courtyard.
As long as you don't gamble or do business, you can marry a dozen concubines and live a life of plenty.
In an instant, countless pairs of red eyes looked deeply at Li Er and Zhang Wu.
Li Er's back felt cold, and he shouted sternly: "Don't listen to him! You can get so much money even if you kill him!"
"Fart!" the big shopkeeper yelled.
Then he shouted loudly: "If you kill me, how can you divide it among so many people? How much can one person divide?"
"I'm afraid in the end, let alone one hundred taels of gold! Even ten taels of silver is enough!"
"What is ten taels of silver enough for? Ah? What is enough for?"
As soon as these words came out, regardless of whether they were friends or foes, hundreds of eyes looked at Li Er and Zhang Wu again.
What's more, his breathing is already heavy.
Li Er secretly thought something bad.
Then he roared loudly again: "Don't listen to him! He is a liar! Even if he really kills us two! He will not give you a copper plate!"
"Fart!" the big shopkeeper yelled, quickly took out most of the gold and silver jewelry from his arms, and threw it forward!
While throwing it away, he roared loudly: "These are considered as the interest given to you in advance! Kill them two! One hundred taels of gold per head! I will do what I say!"
In an instant, there were nearly three hundred people on both sides! Most of them pounced towards the gold and silver jewelry on the ground.
The other half of the group rushed towards Li Er and Zhang Wu crazily.
Compared with the scattered gold and silver jewelry on the ground, this group of people have greater ambitions.
Compared with a hundred taels of gold, what are the mere pieces of gold and silver jewelry?
"What should I do?!" Seeing dozens of strong young men rushing towards the two of them, Zhang Wu couldn't help but roared with a pale face.
Unexpectedly.
The words have not yet been spoken.
Li Er took the initiative and ran away...
Zhang Wu stared blankly at Li Er's quickly leaving figure, unable to recover for a long time.
The strategizing in the tent and the rhetoric in the tent seemed so ridiculous at this moment.
There was a loud noise of "Bang!"
A piece of wood the size of an adult's arm exploded directly on Zhang Wu's head.
Zhang Wu turned around with difficulty, and when he saw the person behind him clearly, his eyes were full of disbelief.
"Zhu...Zhu..." Zhang Wu looked behind him at Faxiao, who had been playing since childhood, and uttered a sentence with difficulty.
Then his pupils blurred and he fell down heavily.
The young man called Zhuzi looked ecstatic and grabbed Zhang Wu's.
His arms ran towards the big shopkeeper frantically.
While running, he shouted loudly: "Big shopkeeper, Zhang Wu...Zhang Wu was killed by me!"
"Okay!" the big shopkeeper shouted, and immediately shouted at the young man who rushed towards the pillar: "Zhang Wu is dead! And Li Er! The reward for catching Li Er is a hundred taels!"
The words are over.
The young man who was already crazy about the money reward instantly became even crazier.
For a moment, both the young man squatting down to pick up the money and the young man who was already chasing him.
Wu Bu moved his steps wildly and ran towards the direction where Li Er escaped.
In an instant, there was an indescribable momentum.
not far away.
Li Er turned his head to look, and his legs couldn't help but move faster.
He cursed angrily in his heart: "Damn it! Damn it! A bunch of straight little beasts! It's best not to let me survive! If I survive! You will all die! You will all die!".
