Lushun South City is not a big city to begin with, and there is no possibility of a large house with multiple entrances in the city. At most, it is a courtyard with two entrances.
"Master, do you want to open the door?" A servant turned to ask the master.
Mr. Wang's expression changed several times. He called a thug from the house and asked, "If it were you, could you guard the courtyard and prevent the thieves from outside from breaking in?"
It was obvious that he had pinned his hopes on the thugs he kept at home.
"Mr. Wang, you'd better open the door and let people outside come in!" the thug said to the master in front of him.
Hearing this, Mr. Wang's brows knitted together and his face turned the color of bitter melon.
How could he not understand what the other party meant? It was nothing more than telling him that these thugs could not protect the Wang family, so he should surrender to the people outside the door as soon as possible.
The thug continued: "The thieves really have cannons. If they push the cannon over, this wooden door in our yard will be blown to pieces with one cannon. There is no way they can stop it."
"I give you so much money every year to support you. Is there no other way?" Mr. Wang looked at the thugs at home unwillingly.
He was not afraid of officers and soldiers because he was on good terms with most of the generals in Dongjiang Town, but he really didn't dare to let in the outside thieves because he was afraid that the thieves would not only steal things but also kill people.
The thug said: "Even the city wall can't stop these people. Mr. Wang, do you really think we can stop them with just a few of us and a courtyard wall?"
"You should think of a way for me, master, so we can't really let the traitors in!" Master Wang said anxiously with a pale face.
He really didn't dare to let the thieves outside the door enter his house.
The thug persuaded: "Mr. Wang, brothers, let me tell you the truth. It's best to open the door and let people in as they say, otherwise there won't be enough people in our yard for them to kill."
The servant on the side also said at this time: "Master, let's open the door."
The servants are also afraid of death.
"That's it!" Mr. Wang sighed and said immediately, "As you said, open the door!"
Even the servants in the family had to open the courtyard door to let the thieves in. Even as a master, he knew that if he continued to block him, other people in the family would take action against him before the thieves could take action.
The servant did not move, but looked at the Wang family's thugs in front of him.
Seeing this, the thug knew what these people meant and said, "I'll open the door."
After saying that, he turned and walked towards the courtyard door.
Mr. Wang looked at the thugs walking towards the courtyard gate, his lips twitched a few times, and finally gave up speaking to stop them.
There was a harsh grinding sound when the courtyard door was opened.
When the door was opened, a group of tiger-character flag soldiers were revealed outside.
When Mr. Wang saw the people outside the door, he took several steps back and hid behind the servant.
"Why did it take so long to open the door!" The tiger flag soldier outside the door frowned and said with complaint.
The thug who opened the door bowed and said with a smile: "The city is really chaotic today. I thought it was the tigers on the street who were taking advantage of the chaos, so I didn't dare to open the door."
"There's no need to explain this to me. I'm too lazy to listen. Go and call the person in charge of your family and come to him if you have any questions." said the Tiger Flag soldier outside the door.
Hearing this, the thug turned back to look at Mr. Wang behind him.
Mr. Wang did not respond, but tried his best to hide behind the servant.
"Mr. Wang, I'm here to find you! Don't hide." Seeing that Mr. Wang didn't come forward, the thugs had no choice but to call him out.
The Tiger Flag soldier outside the courtyard looked over and saw a middle-aged man in gorgeous clothes trying to hide behind a servant dressed as a servant. He immediately said: "Okay, stop hiding, he Can being so skinny stop you?"
When Mr. Wang heard this, he wished he was not talking about himself.
But he was the only one in the whole yard huddled behind the servant, and he knew that the person he was talking about was him.
Since he couldn't hide, he had no choice but to walk out from behind the servant and said in a panic: "I, let me tell you, don't mess around. There is Wu Chengbo behind me. If you dare to touch me, Wu Chengbo will not I’ll let you go.”
"No matter what uncle you love, even your emperor is nothing in front of me." The tiger-character flag soldier outside the courtyard gate said with disdain, "Our tiger-character flag is the opposite in the eyes of your little emperor. You thief, you actually use a bullshit uncle to oppress me."
Mr. Wang shuddered at these words.
Wu Chengbo is his last trump card. If even Wu Chengbo can't scare the opponent, he won't be able to come up with anyone or anything that can threaten the opponent.
"Master Jun, please don't be angry. Master Wang was frightened and said Hutu words. If you want to take anything, just go in and get it. The boys will never stop you." The man who opened the door said. The thug said with a flattering look.
He no longer cares whether Mr. Wang dies or not, but he does care about his own life.
The soldier with the Tiger Flag outside the courtyard glanced at him and said, "I came here to tell that gentleman of yours that our deputy division commander is setting up a banquet at the Yamen and invites him to come over."
As he said that, he glanced at Mr. Wang in the yard again.
"I, I won't go." Mr. Wang stuttered back.
However, after hearing this, the Tiger Flag soldier snorted and said, "It's up to you whether to go or not. I've heard the message, but don't even think about escaping. Both the north and south city gates are guarded by our people." , and even if you leave the city, where can you go without a boat? Could it be that you go to Jinzhou Guard to defect to the slave thieves!"
Hearing this, Mr. Wang was speechless.
"I have brought the words, but before I leave, I would like to remind Mr. Wang, don't think that only slaves and thieves' knives can kill people." After saying that, the tiger-character flag soldiers left the Wang family's house with a group of people outside the door. .
As soon as the soldiers left, Mr. Wang collapsed on the ground in the yard.
The servants on the side rushed to help him.
"It's over, it's over, Master, my life is over." Master Wang said with a sad face.
Several servants helped Mr. Wang up from the ground with great effort.
One of the servants said: "Master, why don't you go ahead? I think they don't necessarily want to kill you, master."
"What do you know! This is called the Hongmen Banquet. Do you think anyone is as lucky as Liu Ji?" Mr. Wang said with a sad look on his face.
The servant who heard this said: "But if you don't go, master, you can't escape! The traitors said when they left just now that the north and south gates are guarded by their people, and we can't get out of the city."
"This is what worries me the most, sir. I can't escape, so what should I do?" Mr. Wang slapped his thighs with his hands and howled in his mouth.
He was asked to go to the Yamen to meet the leader of the bandits, but he didn't want to see him at all and was also afraid to do so.
In his mind, the leader of the bandits is the kind of person who kills like crazy. He never makes sense when killing people. He just kills anyone he doesn't like, so he doesn't dare to meet him, for fear that he won't be able to come back if he goes.
"Actually, I have a way, maybe you can try it!" A servant on the side suddenly said.
