Xu Zuozhi's face gradually darkened: "But how can they resist on their own? When the Jin Dynasty was just founded and the country was crossing to the south, these natives of Wu did not know the destiny and did not obey the king. They killed as many as they could and destroyed them. Only then did they have After being honest and submissive for hundreds of years, why do you want to resist now? Humph, resisting will only make you die faster!"
Xu Xianzhi shook his head: "Of course they can't do it on their own, but with Tianshi Dao, don't you know how powerful these people's organizations are in inciting others? Even if Sun Tai is dead, the three of them, Sun Lu and Xu, are better than others. , my intelligence has shown that Sun Luxu has brought tens of thousands of believers across the sea. Two hours ago, he landed at Linhai. Now six thousand thieves have rushed here. If they don't leave, I'm afraid We are all going to die here!"
Xu Zuozhi stood up in shock: "What? The thieves have landed? There are tens of thousands more? How is this possible? How is this possible?!"
Xu Xianzhi gritted his teeth: "Dad, over the years, when have you missed information about the child, or deceived you? If it weren't for the demons of Tianshi Dao who are so cunning and the sea is vast, the child's men would not be able to trace their whereabouts. As for the fact that we only know about it now, but the child’s spies found out, why didn’t any of the manor owners at the coastal beacon tower come to report? Why didn’t any of the patrol soldiers come to report?”
Xu Zuozhi's lips were trembling: "You mean, you mean they have all surrendered to the demon thief?"
Xu Xianzhi said sternly: "My child said just now that everyone from the common people to the local tycoons in Wu region have joined the demon bandits. For so many years, the officials of the imperial court have to rely on the noble families here to maintain local rule. The sect may be the natives of Wu. Although the natives are small, they are numerous in number. They have long hated the high-sect family, so they are willing to secretly conceal these confidant dead soldiers brought from the north for Tianshi Dao and join their manor! "
Xu Zuozhi suddenly said: "Wait a minute, that's not right. It is still possible to say that Wu Ditu will help Tianshi Tao and collude to seize power, but aren't these northern refugees all the first to enter the manor of a noble family? In the end Only those who don't want the leftovers will be sold to these local tycoons in Wu. Is it possible that the high-ranking families will help the local tycoons in Wu to dig out their own roots and start their own rebellion?"
Xu Xianzhi gritted his teeth: "My child said last time that there is a secret organization behind the aristocratic family, called the Mafia. They have been controlling the overall situation of the world for many years. This time the killing of Sun Tai and his son was also their fault, but there are also people inside the Mafia. Differentiation, there are also conflicts of interest, like on the horse show, Xi Chao exposed his identity as Qinglong, and he wanted to betray the mafia and establish his own in Jingzhou, so he secretly colluded with Tianshi Dao, those northern refugees, that is, Xi Chao manipulated the forces he could control and sold them to the local tycoons in Wu. Dad, it’s too late now, the situation is urgent, so don’t ask so many questions and just run away with your child!"
Xu Zuozhi said sternly: "Stop talking. I am your father and the county magistrate of Shangyu County. I am the parent official of one party. Even if what you say is true and the bandits come, then as the county magistrate, I must protect you." Jing Anmin, if I follow you and run away now, that means you are running away from the battlefield. You must engage in military law on the battlefield. Even if you escape with your life, you will be held accountable by the court afterwards. You will still be exempted from office and imprisoned. You will never escape death. Do you understand?"
Xu Xianzhi gritted his teeth: "The enemy is outnumbered and we are outnumbered. You are the county magistrate, not a general. Now we can't even summon the army. You can follow the children to fight out, and then report the situation here to Kuaiji Neishi Chief Xie. If Xie Neishi knows To be honest, I won’t blame dad!”
Xu Zuozhi was about to speak when a cry suddenly came from outside. Several sergeants guarding outside the county government office, led by a captain's voice came over: "Xianxian Cheng Shen, aren't you sick? Why are you carrying so many people with you?" people…………"
Before he finished speaking, there was only the sound of a weapon entering the body, followed by a scream. Along with several exclamations, Shen County Prime Minister said in a loud voice: "According to the secret decree of the Holy Master, the Heavenly Master ordered, execute The rebels who formed a party for personal gain and plotted to kill the late emperor, the puppet King of Kuaiji, Sima Daozi, and his associates Xie, Wang, Yu and other lackeys, and the people of Sanwu, should raise troops to fight against the thieves and eliminate the traitors of the country. Anyone who does not work together with the Heavenly Master to fight against them The thieves are all rebels, and everyone must punish them. Now, everyone will follow me to capture Xu Zuozhi, the hypocritical and rebellious county magistrate. Whoever captures him will be heavily rewarded!"
The door of the mansion was pushed open, and a general ran in hurriedly: "My lord, magistrate, it's not good. The rebels have made a rebellion and have entered the city from the east gate. Shen Xiancheng and Sun thief Cao have all rebelled. Open the cell door and take those people away." All the captured sea bandits were released, and the door of the arsenal was opened, and these thieves were given weapons. Now most of the county government officials and sergeants have joined the bandits, and we, we can hardly stand it anymore. Sir, please retreat quickly!" He said, turned around and ran towards the Yamen.
Xu Zuozhi gritted his teeth, looked at Xu Xianzhi on the side, and said in a deep voice: "Xianzhi, listen carefully, now as the magistrate of Yu County, my father orders you to leave the secret passage quickly and go to Kuaiji City to meet Xie Neishi. Tell him everything that happened here without any mistakes!”
Xu Xianzhi burst into tears, knelt down and cried: "No, father, I won't leave, I want to live and die with you here and never leave! My child, my child still has hundreds of intelligence men who can fight. !”
Xu Zuozhi said sternly: "It's ridiculous. The matter has come to this. You are just giving up your life by staying here. You have done very well over the years and can do great things. Don't waste your useful life here. I am an official here, and the city is here." People are still alive, but the city is dead and people are dead. This is my responsibility, not yours!"
Xu Xianzhi wanted to say more, but Xu Zuo kicked him to the ground: "Are you going to force dad to commit suicide in front of you before you leave?" As he said this, he pulled out the sword on one side and put it on the ground. on the neck.
Xu Xianzhi cried loudly: "Dad, farewell, my dear!" He kowtowed three times. When he raised his head again, his forehead was already bloody. Gritting his teeth, he rushed into the small door behind the lobby without looking back. , there was a sound of a mechanism, and after the sound of the secret door opening and closing, his footsteps could no longer be heard.
Xu Zuozhi sat dejectedly back on the couch behind the big case. He closed his eyes. The shouts and curses outside, as well as the excited roars of the thieves, rang out together, getting closer and closer, and one after another: "Don't leave Xu Zuozhi!" The voice was also very close at hand.
Xu Zuozhi stood up. Two government offices were knocked down heavily. A group of thieves were swarming in. The leader was Shen Xian Cheng, who was covered in blood and brandishing a long sword. Xu Zuozhi said loudly: "The thieves will not get away with it." Rampant, the heavenly soldiers of the imperial court will eventually kill you!" He said, wiping the sword to his neck, a stream of blood arrows spurted out, and his eyes became dark.
