In less than a stick of incense, the most wealthy people in Lingshou City in front of them had recorded the hiding places of all their belongings and money. There were still some unentrusted ones, which were only minor officials and minor officials. Just a household.
Gaokan and the others entered the government office under the name of the city defense camp, and their seats were originally at the end.
In addition, the city defense camp holds military power, and many of them have soldiers and horses who were reinforced from Zhending Mansion.
Cao Qi, who was originally the commander of the Lingshou Tun Army, led the troops and horses out of the city. Now the person in charge of the troops and horses was just a subordinate of Cao Qi.
So I just thought that I wouldn't be able to squeeze much money out of them.
The people in front took inventory, and Xu Jin, who was covered with a ghost face, stopped hiding it and simply took off the ghost mask on his face.
When everyone saw that it was him, they were all shocked. Some people immediately shouted in shock: "Xu, Mr. Xu, you didn't... What the hell is going on?"
Another person said: "Master Xu, please spare your life, I have always followed your lead!"
"Xu Jin, if you have done such a vicious thing, aren't you afraid that if the news gets out, you will die badly?"
"If you don't let us go quickly, do you want to make the whole city an enemy?"
Among the crowd, there were many people who felt confident after seeing Xu Jin's true face, and began to curse and threaten.
But whether they were surprised, begging for mercy, or cursing and threatening, they obviously did not understand the reality.
That is, no matter whether Xu Jin wears the ghost face mask or not, their lives are currently in the hands of this Lord Zhizhou.
As long as Xu Jin gives the order, no matter what their identity is or what collusion they had with Xu Jin, the only result will be death on the spot.
Moreover, Xu Jin dared to reveal his identity on the spot, which showed that he was confident.
Sure enough, after hearing the words of everyone present, Xu Jin just sneered on his face and looked at these people coldly.
When everyone was almost noisy, he said: "Everyone, it's not that I am cruel, but it is forced by the situation. Today, I will no longer hide it from you. The Jin Army asked Cao Qi to lead the previous trip. The soldiers and horses who left were ambushed in Bailing Village, and the Jin people have sent a large army to help."
"The vanguard of the new Jin army is stationed in Cigu Town, and they will kill Lingshou soon."
After hearing this, the expressions on everyone's faces changed.
A government official said: "We have surrendered the Jin army to Kaicheng before, Master Xu, and we are ready to serve you. Even if Cao Qi doesn't know how powerful he is, he dares to ambush and kill the Jin soldiers and horses. It has nothing to do with us if we invite the Jin army to retaliate!"
When Xu Jin heard this, he glanced at the man and sneered: "It's a shame that you are still in charge of the state's classics. You usually boast of reading a lot, but you don't even understand such a simple truth. Who are the Jin people? Cao Qi's group of people are here now." The Jin army was ambushed in Bailing Village, and this new arrival is here specifically for revenge. If they are invited into the city, can they still accommodate the Song people?"
One sentence left the man speechless.
Xu Jin ignored him, looked at the others and said, "Don't blame me for being cruel. When you followed me to the city to surrender, you betrayed the imperial court. Even if the imperial army recovers in the future, it will be a dead end."
"And now, if we ask the Jin army to enter the city again, I'm afraid it will be difficult to survive."
"When a catastrophe is imminent, I have no choice but to take care of myself first. I will collect your belongings so that I can stay anonymous and become a rich man in Nandu."
After everyone heard this, they all knew that Xu Jin would never let them live again.
Those who feel resentful and unwilling to do so will be treated as if they are yelling.
Xu Jin was not annoyed, he just sneered and waved. His men on the left and right came forward with swords and raised their hands to kill.
After killing several people in a row, the remaining people were still greedy for life and afraid of death.
Some people couldn't stop themselves, so they knelt down and kowtowed to beg for mercy. They didn't want any money or belongings. They just asked Xu Jin to save his life, which was a huge thank you.
Gao Kan saw this from behind and thought that the scene was almost over.
He spoke in a low voice: "General Cao, it's time for you to show off your skills."
Cao Qi couldn't hold himself back for a long time. When he heard Gao Kan speak, he immediately signaled to his left and right men to take action together with the four of them.
In a sudden attack, he first took the weapons from the hands of the two thieves in front of him and chopped them with one sword.
The thieves in front heard the sound and hurriedly turned around to fight. Cao Qi slashed each of them with his sword, and then chopped down two more people with his backhand. He also took their swords and threw them to the men next to him.
Xu Jin looked over in front and saw Cao Qi. He sneered and said, "General Cao, I didn't expect you to come too."
"Bah, you thief, are you worthy of calling me by my name?"
Cao Qi cursed, holding a sharp knife in his hand and said coldly: "If you still know the slightest bit of shame, you can kill yourself immediately to apologize, and you can still keep your body intact. If you continue to resist, you will not be able to survive and die!"
Xu Jin sneered when he heard this: "Cao Qi, although you are brave, how many people can you kill?"
"Originally, you sneaked into the city secretly. I didn't know it, or there was still a chance, but you decided to seek your own death. These few people dared to enter the government office, so I had no choice but to send you on your way."
After Xu Jin finished speaking, he didn't have time to ask his men to take action.
Those who had just knelt and kowtowed to Xu Jin to beg for mercy suddenly seemed to have grasped some life-saving straw, and they stood up and bared their teeth and claws towards Cao Qi.
Someone immediately scolded: "Cao Qi, you piece of shit, if you hadn't dared to be enemies of the Jin people, why would we be here?"
Someone also asked Xu Jin: "Master Xu, the leader of the attack on the Jin army is here. As long as we kill him and cut off the dog's head and hand it to the Jin army, we will definitely be exempted from our sins!"
As soon as this statement came out, there were many people who agreed with it.
Some people even immediately wanted to join forces with Xu Jin to kill Cao Qi, completely forgetting that Xu Jin wanted to kill them just now to silence them.
Seeing this, Cao Qi couldn't help but feel chilled. He suddenly felt that Gao Kan's words might be correct. Every one of them in this government office today was innocent. How could there be any innocent people?
As thoughts swirled in his mind, he tightened his grip on the handle of the knife in his hand.
"Old thief Xu, don't say much. You have killed so many innocent people in Lingshou. You should have been punished long ago. I only wish I hadn't killed you thief sooner. It's not too late to do it today."
Xu Jin laughed when he heard this and said: "Haha, if you bring troops here, I may still be afraid of you. Are these people just joking?"
"Humph, you are just a bunch of chickens and tile dogs, you are not enough for grandpa to kill!"
Cao Qi snorted coldly, and without saying a word, the first person rushed towards Xu Jin to kill him.
Xu Jin waved his hand and said coldly: "Kill them, leave no one behind!"
After receiving the order, the thieves under his command picked up their knives and slaughtered them.
Gao Kan took advantage of the chaos ahead, retreated to a safe place, took out the fire letter hidden in his sleeve, and released it to the sky.
Then I saw a spark rising into the sky, which could be seen within a few miles of the mansion.
Outside the government office, Lin Chong had led troops and horses and had already surrounded the entire government office. He could take action at any time, but there was no signal, which made him anxious.
Seeing the signal suddenly, without saying a word, he immediately gave the order to take action.
