Outside the courtyard, more and more people are gathering. In winter, it is rare to see the excitement, but it is not necessary to join in. It will also have bragging rights when chatting with others in the future.
"Who are you arresting? Why are there so many arrests?"
"I don't know, who knows who owns this courtyard."
The people watching around were talking a lot.
Suddenly, at the entrance of the courtyard, the head catcher who had just rushed in with momentum ran out of the courtyard in a panic, which made the people around him startled.
The detectives surrounding him all looked over.
"There is a group of rebels inside. Go and inform the county magistrate." The head catcher shouted, and then the figure disappeared from the street.
The people around him were stunned at first, and then dispersed after digesting what the head catcher said.
When the imperial infantry came out, they saw only government officials and people running away in all directions.
The imperial soldiers ignored these people and divided their troops into three groups.
The county seat has two gates, the east and west, plus a government office, so the imperial soldiers are divided into three groups, with a spy leading the way in each front.
In the courtyard, Han Xi looked at the dozen or so people guarding him and felt that it was not safe enough. So he entered the room again and prepared to summon a team of one hundred sword soldiers.
The swordsman holds a four-foot long sword, which is very suitable for fighting in an environment like the county town.
Seeing the 100 extra people around him, Han Xi immediately felt relieved. Now he just had to wait for the results.
With the appearance of imperial soldiers, the originally quiet county town became lively and noisy.
In the county government office, the county magistrate was shocked at first when he received the news, and then shouted: "Captain Yu, are you drunk?"
The county magistrate simply did not believe that there were a large number of rebels in the city. Even if there were rebels, it would not be Captain Yu who would come to report them, but the soldiers guarding the city gate.
"Master County Magistrate, everything my subordinates said is true. Run away now, otherwise it will be too late." Yu Captou said anxiously.
Seeing Yu Captou's appearance, the county magistrate somewhat believed him, but he didn't believe him completely. However, he still said: "Go outside the city quickly and ask Lu Youqi to enter the city."
Upon hearing the order from the county magistrate, Yu Captou said without hesitation: "My subordinates will go right away."
After saying that, Sayazi ran away.
Seeing Yu Baotou running so fast, the county magistrate was heartbroken and paced back and forth in the office.
At this moment, I saw a middle-aged man running in in a panic. When he saw the magistrate, he shouted: "I'm sorry, sir, a group of thieves have rushed into the office."
The county magistrate was startled and ran into the courtyard behind the government office with wind on his feet.
At this time, the imperial soldiers had already rushed into the government hall and killed anyone with a knife in their hands. Hu Si led a small group of people and rushed to the backyard of the government office.
When he rushed into the backyard, he saw the magistrate who was packing his belongings in a panic.
When Hu Si saw the magistrate, he shouted: "Catch him!"
The imperial soldiers who followed did not hesitate and pounced directly.
When the county magistrate saw such a formation, he was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground and shouted: "A good man needs his life, a good man needs his life, all these money will be given to the good man."
Hu Si grabbed the magistrate's collar and asked, "Where is your official seal?"
The captured magistrate pointed to the desk in the distance with trembling hands and said: "In that long table box."
Hearing this, Hu Si pushed the magistrate onto the bed, turned around and opened a box, only to see a seal engraved with birds and animals inside.
Hu Si put the seal in his arms and hurried out of the county office.
After a while, Hu Si brought the seal to Han Xi.
Han Xi took the seal and looked at it for a few times, then silently said in his heart, "The system has included it."
I saw a blue light sweeping back and forth on the official seal on Han Xi's hand.
After a while, the system showed that the recording was successful.
Han Xi felt happy and clicked on the commodity market in the system to check.
However, a red warning box popped up in the system.
[The progress of the capture of Yichuan is 50%, and the commodity market cannot be opened]
Han Xi's face suddenly darkened, and finally he could only sigh and sit down to wait silently.
at dusk.
The cries of killing in Yichuan County slowly subsided, and the people in the city were too frightened to light fires to cook for fear that the smoke would attract the attention of the rebels.
Han Xi on the other side was a little troubled at this time. The entire county was under his control, but the progress of the attack was stuck at 90%.
The system didn't give any clues as to where it hadn't been captured yet.
"Are the city gates under control?" Han Xi asked.
"Both city gates are under control, and all those who resist will be dealt with," Hu Si replied.
Hearing that the city gate was under control, Han Xi asked again: "Is there anyone in the county government office who is resisting?"
"All the officials and servants of each government office were gathered in the government hall, and there was no one who resisted." Hu Si replied again.
Hearing this, Han Xi frowned and paced back and forth in the wing. Suddenly, he thought that there seemed to be a group of officers and soldiers that had not appeared, so he asked: "Where is that group of officers and soldiers? Did you see them when they attacked the city?"
Hu Si thought for a while and finally shook his head.
Han Xi touched his chin. It seemed that the 10% difference might be due to this group of officers and soldiers.
"Where are these officers and soldiers now?" Han Xi asked.
"Wujiazhuangzi, ten miles outside the city." Hu Si replied.
Wujiazhuangzi? Ten miles away?
Han Xi looked at the sky outside, thought for a moment, and thought it would be better to go to Wujiazhuangzi tomorrow.
Thinking of this, Han Xi yawned, and then ordered: "Have people guard the city gate, and a curfew will be implemented in the city."
After giving instructions, Han Xi entered the courtyard where the magistrate slept.
Looking at a thick quilt, Han Xi went up and touched it. It felt much warmer and smoother than the quilt he used.
"What a dog official!" Han Xi cursed secretly, and then shrank into the quilt, feeling his body warm all of a sudden.
After just a moment, he fell asleep.
Not long after Han Xi fell asleep.
The Wu family courtyard in the city.
In a dark house, hundreds of people gathered densely at this time.
Some of these people were wearing the clothes of government officials, while others were the clothes of soldiers guarding the city.
Today, the government officials and rural soldiers guarding the city were attacked by the imperial soldiers and dispersed without resistance at all.
Most of these defeated people ran into the city.
Because it was too late, Han Xi did not let anyone search the scattered government officials and city defenders.
"Has Lu Youyi arrived outside the city gate?" the head of the Wu family asked.
A strong man wearing an officer's jacket whispered: "We are already here. Six hundred tenants from the manor have also come over. As long as Mr. Wu launches an attack in the city, we can take back the county seat in one fell swoop."
"Well! Come on, let's set off." The head of the Wu family walked out wearing a suit of armor.
This set of armor is very old, obviously an old thing.
The head of the Wu family walked in front, and figures slowly gathered behind him in the dark night.
When they left the Wu family's courtyard, the head of the Wu family was already followed by three to four hundred people.
