Chapter 22 Please don’t doubt me (Part 2)
"How about killing him, and then inciting the people to rush into the state government office and completely muddy the water in Tongzhou City..." In the crowd, several people were discussing with shrinking heads, and one person said in a cold voice with a grimace on his face.
These people shrank their heads one after another, for fear of being noticed. Many people quickly objected: "If he dies, the Red Army will be completely in chaos, and then the officers and soldiers will be able to deal with us with all their strength. This way
The gain outweighs the loss, and if we do it in this city, I’m afraid I won’t have a chance!”
The man looked at them coldly and said angrily: "I think you are just cowardly and afraid of death, hum! If you don't do it, I will do it myself."
"Wait a minute! Let's see how he handles the affairs of these people. What's happening in this city is very strange! Maybe we don't need to do anything..." One person quickly grabbed him, patted his shoulder, and pointed
Others mixed in with the crowd.
There are many different people mixed in the crowd. These people will shout a few words from time to time, look around for a while, and then quickly change their positions. They look suspicious and cautious. If they hadn't traveled all over the country and had extraordinary eyesight, they might still be there.
Not easy to find.
"Could these people be inciting the people to cause trouble? To be able to incite them in such a short period of time, I think these people are not simple! They are even more sophisticated than our White Lotus Sect."
The man with an impatient personality immediately sneered disdainfully and said: "The people they are inciting are far worse than us. We are making things out of nothing, but they are coercing the people and rely only on their strength."
At this time, Zhu Gan flashed through the dark crowd and couldn't see anything strange at all. The only thing he could do now was to try his best to comfort these people. If these people were really hopeless, then he could only take the last resort.
means.
Gu Panshenghui! Not only because of the mighty Mingguang Armor, but also because of Zhu Gan's courage to face everyone, he said coldly: "Please don't doubt me, I ask myself that I am not a good person, there is no need to do good things, and I think that
I am a ruthless person. I can be ruthless to myself and even more ruthless to my enemies. You can either be a common person or my enemy. Believe me, as a common person I can give you everything you want. But as an enemy, you will get
More, but I dare to swear, that is definitely not what you want..."
The introduction of Zhu Gan's words did not contain much of a threat, but they were extremely penetrating and chilled people's hearts. Perhaps they were used to hearing threats and had become numb, but Zhu Gan's words made their hearts chill. Many people
I was already feeling anxious, thinking whether I had done something wrong by coming to watch the commotion and making noise.
"Don't be afraid, beat this thief to death and he won't be able to do anything to us."
"Don't be afraid of him, take a step forward and show him our courage. We have more people, so we can kill him..."
"Beat him to death, go ahead, let's go together..."
The clamor suddenly started to spread among the people, and the unreasonable people also started to make noise one after another. This is the so-called herd mentality, and of course it was just luck.
Looking at the roaring crowd below, it was like a raging flood. As long as there is a fester, the flood will tilt down with all its strength. No matter how strong the dam is, it cannot withstand it. He immediately took a deep breath and said almost in a roar: "
Is this what you want? No one should regret it. If you take one step forward, you will be my enemy."
The noise suddenly subsided. Those in the front heard Zhu Gan's words clearly and seemed hesitant. For some reason, those in the back just looked at the front in confusion, waiting for their decision.
Regarding this weird scene, silence quickly turned into whispers, and then someone shouted loudly: "If you dare to threaten us, you will die!"
A stone was thrown out of nowhere and hit Zhu Gan on the forehead. Blood immediately flowed down his cheek. After Zhu Gan's face was stained with blood, his expression gradually became ferocious: "You are stubborn and you have already given it to yourself."
I passed your chance, but you wasted it, so see you on the battlefield!"
Turning around, he shouted to the left and right: "Close the door!"
After saying that, he walked into the prefectural government office. The heavy wooden door began to creak shut. The people below, not knowing who was taking the lead, began to frantically attack the prefectural government office. When he was about to rush in, Zhu Gan turned around and aimed his flint gun at the door.
, there was a loud bang, and hot iron sand was ejected in front of him. The person running in front was beaten into a hornet's nest. The sound also shocked the people who came, but after a pause, the door closed again.
"Close all the door bars. No one should be left in the yamen. Whichever door has fewer people, we will leave from there." What Zhu Qian least wanted to happen happened, but he was not a person who talked on paper and had a bottom line.
But first, others should not touch his bottom line.
This matter has caused a complete stir in the prefectural government office, but the news has not reached the back door for a while. Although there are people surrounding them, Zhu Qian's men, each armed with firecrackers and waist knives, dare not stop them and quickly wait for the people to leave.
go.
No one dared to climb over the wall and enter the state government office, perhaps because no one wanted to stand out! They all opened the door of the government office, but there was no one inside. But these people were crazy, they needed to vent, and the best way to vent was
It means destruction. People flood into the yamen and smash everything they see. Of course, if there are good things, they have to grab them. If they all like it, they have to fight. Whoever wins the fight will belong to whom.
The dilapidated State Department Yamen was quickly smashed and even more dilapidated. After the smashing, the people were in high spirits and did not want to pack up their things and go home to wash and sleep. Instead, they centered on the State Department Yamen and moved in all directions.
It spreads, whether it is government offices, shops, or private houses, smashed, looted, and ultimately all that is left is a mess.
The Cangchang Governor's Yamen is not in the center of the city, but to the north of the new city, close to the central inner city. There is a river that leads directly to the Cangchang Yamen. After entering the city, Zhu Qian immediately sent people to occupy the Cangchang Yamen, and only found
Some bad debts are almost all from the Wanli period, but there is not a single word from the Chongzhen years.
Looking at the tall granary, Zhu Qian was excited. With food, he would have a reputation, and with money, he would have soldiers. Today, he can see how much his reputation will reach, or how much money he can get.
.
Looking at his impatient men, he waved his hand and said with a smile: "Open the warehouse and see if there are mountains of food."
He opened the seal, smashed the big lock with a hammer, and with the combined strength of several people, the heavy wooden door slowly opened. As expected, there were mountains of food. How could it be piled up to such a high level? I wonder if there was any rat fat inside.
To what extent, Zhu Qian thought happily in his heart at this moment.
He grabbed a handful of rice and glanced at it. Zhu Gan's face changed drastically. He took a closer look and his face suddenly became horribly gloomy. No wonder all the officials in Tongzhou City surrendered, but only the governor of Cangchang was missing. This
I don’t know how many empty shells are mixed in the rice.
Then he grabbed Gao Qiang and asked loudly: "Look what these are. Did they find anything unusual when they occupied this place?"
Gao Qiang was pulled by Zhu Gan and staggered. Although this was a bit sudden and left him unprepared, the rush showed how angry Zhu Gan was and how strong he was.
Gao Qiang grabbed a handful, spread it out, and his expression changed immediately. Only one or two of the ten grains were full, and the others were all empty shells. This meant that the grain in the granary may have been reduced by more than 70%.
But the official warehouse is not the free warehouse!
He muttered to himself blankly: "Where did the food go? How could there be so much food... It's impossible. The people I sent to guard the official warehouse are all strict people. It's absolutely impossible..."
Zhu Gan's face was heavy. Although he had entered the city, he still felt that there was a huge stagnation, blocking his progress step by step. If he could be a little more ruthless and cut through the mess with a sharp knife, he would not be forced.
To retreat, he had to hold on to the bottom line in his heart, the bottom line of never killing civilians.
Seeing Zhu Gan's face sinking, but now this fact was too big, a red-clothed soldier who was responsible for guarding the official warehouse came out and reported: "Reporting to my lord, there were a few people sneaking around here, and later because of
We acted quickly and took over all the checkpoints here, and those people left. We sent people from humble positions to pursue them, but they were not familiar with the terrain and they escaped."
After connecting all the details, Zhu Qian suddenly realized that those people were probably the governor of Cangchang! He was about to set fire to burn the place to the ground. By then, it would be all over. The court couldn't investigate, and he couldn't investigate either. He had gotten those benefits in vain.
silverfish.
But this person didn't know that they had exposed a flaw, that is, they had a lot of time to burn this official warehouse to the ground, but they lingered here and were discovered by their own people, which means that they
He was very greedy and was reluctant to burn the remaining food. Moreover, someone was smuggling it secretly at that time, but why was he not discovered by his own people?
After pondering for a few times, he said: "Ignore this granary for now, let's all go, take all the gunpowder and drag it out of the city. Huh! It's not theirs. How much they have eaten, I will make them spit it out twice as much."
"
Looking at Zhu Gan's confident and wise look, Gao Qiang felt anxious. Looking at the piled granaries, who knew there wasn't much rice here anymore, but leaving like this made him reluctant and eager, but Zhu Gan
They all left so decisively, and it was hard for him to stay any longer.
However, Zhu Gan didn't explain anything. He just called someone and whispered some instructions. Then he asked someone to close the door again, lock it and seal it. He just waved his sleeves and didn't take away a grain of rice.
Without the Red Army, Tongzhou City was in complete chaos. Not a single official came out to take charge of the situation, and not a single officer or soldier went on duty in the streets. Only then did the people realize that at least the Red Army never taxed them when they were there.
, and maintained the discipline of Tongzhou City.
