Chapter 618 Hands-On, Impact, Escape
Yangzhou Mansion has been a bit sultry these past few days, which is very strange in this late autumn season. E『』ΩNovel WwW. 1XIAOSHUO. COM
In this kind of weather, you have to eat a hot noodle soup, and then break out in a sweat, and you will feel refreshed.
"Master Li, eat a warm meal and then take a bath in this weather, it will make you feel ecstatic!"
It was time to go to the office, and officials in twos and threes came out of their respective rooms and walked out with ease.
Master Li said with a smile: "Recently, there are many things in Fucheng, so I'm exhausted! I will take a bath tomorrow, and I just want to sleep in. I won't get up until the sun is up."
"That's exactly how it should be. That Xing He Bo squatted in the Yangzhou mansion, and he didn't dare to show his air from the common people to the officials. He is obscene/weihehe! Drink a few glasses at night, and get drunk to relieve a thousand worries!"
An official walking in front turned around and smiled, and then stepped out of the gate of the government office with one foot...
"Master Liu, is there an outside room blocking you? Hahahaha!"
The officials behind all laughed loudly, but when Lord Liu retreated again and again, and finally fell to the ground in embarrassment, all the laughter disappeared.
"Do you have an outer room?"
Fang Xing approached the gate, looked at Master Liu with a smile and asked, "Are you Liu Qun?"
"No... yes, the next official is Liu Qun."
Liu Qun got up in embarrassment and slapped his buttocks.
"Uncle, my servant... can I go?" Liu Qun felt that the atmosphere was a bit wrong, but when he turned his head and saw that most of the officials were silent, his heart skipped a beat.
This is the rhythm of something going wrong!
Fang Xing looked at these silent officials and said, "You don't have to go back today, you have business to do!"
That Lord Li cupped his hands and forced a smile: "Uncle, what is the business? Why didn't the prefect inform me?"
"Is it all ready?" Fang Xing said in an unexpected answer.
"Master, it's all here."
Only then did the officials discover a young man sitting on the wall, checking something with a piece of paper.
"Uncle Xinghe, the lower official is not feeling well, I want to go to the medical clinic first, look..."
Master Li's complexion was a bit ugly, and he said while covering his stomach with his hands.
"That's right, Mr. Xiao didn't say he has business tonight!"
"Uncle, there is still a young child waiting to be fed in Xiaguan's family, so please hold your hands high and let Xiaguan go home..."
"..."
Fang Xing stood there motionless. Everyone knew that a storm might really be coming.
"Wh... bang!"
After an explosion in the air, Fang Xing dodged to the side. Just when these officials thought he was giving way, Fang Xing shouted: "Come on!"
"Puff puff……"
After a rush of footsteps, groups of sergeants poured in from outside the gate, and immediately surrounded these officials without command.
Xin Laoqi took the paper from Xiaodao, looked at it, and asked, "Who is Li Qing?"
Mr. Li who said he was unwell just now trembled, his eyes widened, and he said in disbelief, "Uncle, what are you doing? I want to see Mr. Xiao, my officer..."
"Take it!"
Fang Xing waved his hand, then turned and walked out the door.
At this time, the government office was already surrounded by Wu Yuebu in armor, and the people passing by saw it and ran home in a hurry.
"Who is Liu Qun? Come out!"
The officials were being screened one by one inside, Fang Xing stood with his hands behind his back, looked at the somewhat dark sky, and murmured: "Could you still sit still?"
...
The news quickly spread to Miao Chengfu and Hu Erwen. Hu Erwen did not hesitate to divide the family into multiple paths and take their belongings to Miao Chengfu's house.
After the two met, Miao Chengfu said with a ferocious expression: "Shopkeeper Hu, Fang Xing wants to see you for a while. Isn't he afraid that the salt market will be broken?"
Hu Erwen's body trembled slightly, and he said calmly: "Fang Xing is the teacher of the grandson, and the salt market in the south is already in chaos. If he can't suppress it, His Majesty will definitely recall him like Zhu Yong. Go, at that time, he will lose face. So... we have to run, run now! Otherwise, I worry that it will be too late!"
"Don't worry!"
Miao Chengfu pondered for a while, and said: "At this time, the gate of the city is the target of public criticism, we will definitely not be able to leave!"
Hu Erwen was startled, then took a few deep breaths, calmed down and said: "Miao shopkeeper, this matter really can't be rushed, you can see if this works, those colleagues probably know the news, let's send someone to announce it, just say that we are together Head west."
"If you keep it, you will die. If you fight hard, you may survive. They are not fools, of course they know the trade-offs..."
Gradually, a smile appeared on Miao Chengfu's face, and finally he stretched out his thumb and said, "Sure enough, it's Shopkeeper Hu. This is really a plan!"
"master……"
At this time, a man rushed in from outside, and he said anxiously: "Master, that Fang Xing took his subordinates and headed out of the city! Could it be to check our salt warehouse..."
Miao Chengfu was not surprised but happy, and smiled at Hu Erwen, "So what if I checked, I sent people to various places the day before yesterday to dismiss those guys. What is the use of them getting salt? There are so many towns in the south without our channels. I see him slowly delivering them from house to house!"
Hu Erwen said gloomyly: "When the time comes, the world will be in chaos. I'll see how their monarchs and ministers will end up!"
...
There is only Shen Hao's Qianhu Office in the city now, and everyone has been sent out to inspect it.
The time for night ban was coming soon, the sergeant guarding the gate yawned, looked into the city, and was about to close the gate.
"what is that?"
As far as the eye can see, a group of dark men are walking quickly with knives and guns, and behind them are ox carts and horse carts.
"What's this?"
The little flag officer's voice trembled, and finally screamed: "Enemy attack..."
"Signal!"
When the three fireworks exploded in the air, the soldiers who were eating dry food on the street rushed to the west gate desperately.
Three fireworks represent an emergency situation.
If you look down from the air, you will see the sergeants on the street gradually gathering towards the west, with more and more people, running faster and faster, and all of this is seen by people.
"My lord, it's done. Most of the people have gone to Ximen!"
"good!"
Miao Chengfu and Hu Erwen laughed at each other, and then the two families joined together and walked eastward from the back alley.
And a small banner department in Ximen, after a symbolic resistance, ran away without armor.
"Rush! Rush out!"
These salt merchants have no overseas connections, so after knowing the fate they are about to face, they have to adopt this method of resistance.
"Miao Chengfu has a big boat by the river, let's go there and go to sea together!"
The salt merchants who escaped from Fucheng almost wept with joy, but just when they felt joyful, a black line appeared indistinctly in front of them.
"The officers and soldiers are here..."
"We've been duped! We've been duped!"
"Go back to the city! Let's catch some people..."
"The officers and soldiers in the city chased them out!"
"We're done! We're done! Woohoo!"
The silent queue slowly surrounded them, and the salt merchants looked desperate, and one of them shouted: "Fight them! Otherwise we will all die!"
"Kill officers and soldiers, we rebelled!"
"The first row... salvo!"
"Bang bang bang bang!"
