The firelight in the prison was dim.

Several jailers were sitting there, drinking and chatting.

"This Ezhou city can't really be captured by the rebels, right?"

"How can that be possible? I heard that the rebels only have more than 10,000 people, which is less than half of the city's defenders."

"If Li Ni was really that capable, how could there be so many people escaping from Sichuan and Sichuan? Remember, Lao Gou just escorted more than 20 people out a while ago..."

"Gou Tou."

"Lao Gou is here? He didn't even bring two jugs of wine."

The jailers were chatting, and when they saw Gou Shancai coming in, they all stood up to say hello.

"Lao Gou, you didn't go home last night and someone from the Lu family army was looking for you everywhere."

Gou Shancai asked: "What do you want from me?"

"It seems that... there is a rebel who made a final hiding place very close to your home, and there is a secret passage that has been filled in."

"Um?"

As soon as Gou Shancai returned to the county jail, his face looked a little sinister. He picked up a bunch of keys hanging on the wall and played with them. He sneered and asked, "Do you suspect me of colluding with the rebels?"

All the jailers laughed.

"Hahaha, how could there be such suspicion?"

"Even if I am a rebel, Lao Gou will not be..."

With a "click" sound, Gou Shancai opened a cell door.

One of the jailers was stunned for a moment and said: "Lao Gou, stop making trouble, this mother is a big thief..."

Gou Shancai, however, ignored him. He only took a key and asked the gangster in the cell, "Rebel with me and kill Lu Wenfu?"

"Okay! Kill his mother Lu Wenfu!"

Gou Shancai immediately stepped forward to untie his shackles after simply agreeing.

Some jailors were stunned, while others stepped forward to stop him.

"Gou Tou, you..."

Suddenly, there was another "bang" sound, Gou Shancai drew his sword in his hand, and chopped down his former colleague with one blow.

"Well……"

That was a young man who had been hacked to death on the ground without fully understanding the situation, and his blood flowed into the straw pile in the cell.

Not long ago, he and Gou Shancai helped the tyrants, and later they went to Nancao City to visit prostitutes.

This is the first cut of the night.

It seems that it was from this knife that Ezhou became turbulent.

"Rebel Zhao Song!" Gou Shancai shouted, threw the key to the gangsters in the prison, and approached the remaining jailers with knives, "Who wouldn't rebel against Song Dynasty?!"

"Take this dog Shacai!"

Someone wanted to draw the sword, but Gou Shancai struck him with the sword again...

"Hahaha! Rebellion!"

The prison was already in a state of jubilation. Some people were banging on the bars with chains, trying their best to make noise.

"Rebel! Rebellion!"

The remaining jailers turned pale with fright, and because of their old friendship with Gou Shancai, they quickly raised their knives and shouted together.

"Follow me and cooperate with others to help the Tang army capture Ezhou City. Everyone will be rewarded and appointed!"

"Kill Lu Wenfu and become the founding hero of the country!"

"Run away, seize the arsenal, and besiege the Consul General's Mansion."

"..."

How is the word "fan" written to incite?

Just use a fan to fan the fire and light it up.

The same is true for inciting rebellion. Gou Shancai is like lighting a fire.

He gathered all the people in Ezhou City who were dissatisfied with the Song Ting, the Jia Party, and the Lu family near the Consul General's Mansion, like heaping firewood.

Gather the most agitated people who are most likely to be set on fire near the county jail, and then go to the county jail to light a fire.

The flames were small at first and easily extinguished.

~~

"Get them!"

When the three squadrons of Wuchang County government officials arrived, they were equally outnumbered by the fugitives who had broken out of the prison.

Yamen servants have weapons in their hands, which is a great advantage.

Therefore, they did not hesitate to draw their swords and charge at the fugitives.

"Surround them! The defenders will be here soon!"

Half a street away, at the gate of the county government office, Wuchang Magistrate Fan Jiashi had rushed over and was standing on the steps directing the government officials.

It is extremely difficult for Wuchang County to be attached to Ezhou City and the county magistrate, and Ezhou City is also the headquarters of Jinghu North Road and even the entire Jinghu battlefield.

Fan Jiashi was able to take on such a difficult official position simply because he hugged the Lu family tightly.

There are already too many people with more official positions and more merit than him who have fallen into trouble in Ezhou.

For example, Yinying Feiguan served as the governor of Ezhou and the transit envoy to Hubei. He led his troops to rescue when Kublai Khan attacked Ezhou and made great achievements. The late emperor personally gave him a plaque "Yuangtang" to commend him for his ability to withstand foreign aggression.

Such a character ended up losing his life and family because of a big conflict with Lu Wende.

Fan Jiashi was cautious, really afraid of offending the Lu family in the slightest.

Today, Lu Wenfu is at the Consul General's Mansion not far from here. If things get worse and make him unhappy...

"Quick! You all go up and calm down as soon as possible, calm down as soon as possible!"

Fan Jiashi anxiously urged the government officials to come forward, and suddenly noticed more than ten people running towards him from the corner of his eye.

He took a closer look and saw a group of civilians. One of them seemed familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him before...

"Go away!"

Fan Jiashi shouted loudly, not happy that these civilians came to the county government gate.

However, instead of stopping, the opponent rushed faster and faster.

"Stop him!"

A kitchen knife was suddenly taken out of his arms.

Fan Jiashi was startled and suddenly remembered where he had seen this person.

It was two days ago. The Mongolians hosted by the Lu family bullied several civilians. One of them refused to give up and was difficult to deal with...

"puff."

The kitchen knife chopped him off, and the yamen officer who tried to stop him was hit and screamed in agony.

Yu Cai rushed forward and stabbed Fan Jiashi again.

With a simple "poof", the first murder seemed so simple to Yu Cai.

"oh."

Blood surged in front of the county government office.

"Kill the official!" someone shouted.

The fugitives across the street immediately followed up by shouting: "Rebel!"

"Kill the official!"

"Rebel!"

As soon as an official saw the blood, it was like adding oil to the fire, and the flames suddenly started to boil.

"Surround the Consulate General!"

"Robbing the Lu family..."

~~

On the city wall, a guard military commander turned around and listened hard to what was going on in the city.

"What happened? Take someone to see it."

"yes."

The Song Military Academy will continue to inspect the city wall from now on.
To be continued...
