Everyone was dumbfounded. Obviously we were all on the same boat yesterday, but now we are going to kill them!
"Let go of my child!"
There was a woman crying heartbreakingly, with pleading and fear.
Some people were cursing loudly, and even more people were so stunned that they couldn't recover.
But the captain's body was lying there, with thick blood spreading from under his body and dripping on the ground, making everyone uncontrollably turn pale.
After all, someone spoke first and lowered his weapon.
Everyone quickly compromised. This person was Mayor Liu's deputy and one of the people who came down from the mountain.
Everyone in Dapan Town was taught their skills by that group of people, and their current actions to resist the imperial court were also guided by them.
If these people don't stand on the same line as them now, they have no chance of winning.
This side gave up resistance, pulled back the horse stakes, and lowered the temporary bridge. The officers and soldiers from the court outside quickly drove in.
Xie Wenhua patted Xie Songhua, and the two of them took advantage of the chaos and slipped out.
Baiyue was waiting at the foot of the mountain, and behind him there was a group of Beijing garrison guards. Probably because they were afraid of attracting attention, there were not many of them.
"Xiao Si, you wait here, I'll go in first." Xie Wenhua took off his outer clothes, revealing his inner clothes, then got on his horse and led the people to Dapan Town.
Xie Songhua immediately asked Baiyue, "Can Jin Yiwei go in?"
"Yeah! I got the news from you and went in when the fight started. I just don't know if it was too late."
Baiyue frowned tightly, looking a little more dignified than usual.
In this case, we can only do our best and obey fate.
As soon as Xie Wenhua entered, he directly greeted the leading officers and soldiers, "Sir Cao, I just heard someone came to report that there was a fight here. I thought the people below heard it wrong. What happened?"
He looked around with curiosity on his face, acting as if he had just come here.
Master Cao didn't expect him to come, and saw that he only brought thirty or forty people with him, so he felt relieved.
"Alas, Mr. Xie didn't know something. I received a secret report last night that the bandits on Jicong Mountain began to plot something big again. It just happened that these unscrupulous people in Dapan Town were really hateful. I brought my soldiers to pay for them, and they even paid for it.
They stubbornly refused to let us in and even attempted to attack us."
Xie Wenhua saw that he was getting angry and said quickly: "Master Cao, please calm down first. These are ordinary people. Most of them don't know a single big character. How can they know these truths?
By the way, are you going to take people up the mountain to pay the fee now? There happen to be some brothers here who have been practicing during the town day and haven’t had much actual combat experience yet, so I just want to go with Master Cao to experience it."
As he spoke, he watched from the corner of his eye the soldiers who rushed in and bullied the people of Dapan Town.
When Mr. Cao heard what he said, his face suddenly tightened, and he quickly said: "How can this happen? Mr. Xie has the emperor's mandate, and your subordinates are all brothers of the Beijing garrison. How can you do such a dangerous thing?
.”
As he spoke, he rolled his eyes and said immediately: "But there is something I really need to thank you for your help with."
He pointed at the people in Dapan Town who were under control, "This group of unruly people just had a conflict with the people under my command, and they are still resisting stubbornly. We don't have that much time to spend here.
Mr. Xie is from the capital, and it might be more convenient for you to leave the job of appeasing the people to you. I wonder if Mr. Xie is willing to..."
Xie Wenhua originally looked a little anxious when he heard that he would not be taken up, but now he heard that as long as he was here to help take care of these people, his expression improved again.
Even though he agreed with all his heart, Mr. Cao said thanks, but he sneered in his heart: It sounds nice, but he clearly wanted to come over and get some credit after hearing the news.
Now let them do these easy tasks, and sure enough they agreed immediately.
With Xie Wenhua's people here, Master Cao's people gathered together and headed directly towards Jicong Mountain.
Xie Songhua waited for a long time before Xiaoqing arrived.
After all, Cuiliu was just a little maid with no power. For such a thing, she simply let Cuiliu stay in the small house in Dengzhou to look after the house.
However, Xiaoqing listened to Xie Songhua's order from the beginning and searched for the whereabouts of Jiang and his wife in Dengzhou.
It was only now that I got the letter and rushed over, but the news it brought was not good, "The Jiang family's husband and wife are from the south. It is not impossible to find out.
The slave did get some clues some time ago. From what someone described, the couple did resemble the Jiang family master and his wife, but they lived in a house on the outskirts of the city. The people in that house were too vigilant.
By the time the slave leaves at night, the person will have been transferred."
After hearing Xiao Qing's words, Xie Songhua was not too disappointed. It was good enough to confirm that the person was there.
After all, the other party is Han Jian. If he can lead Dongchang, how can he not have some means?
What's more, for now, relatively speaking, the affairs of Jiang and his wife should be put aside for a while.
Xiao Yu ran to Jicong Mountain like this, but he didn't know if he had any countermeasures.
"Girl, what should we do now?"
Xiaoqing asked a question that she didn't know how to answer. What could she do?
There is nothing she can do.
I don’t know what kind of methods Han Jian will use next time. How many more times will she be manipulated by him?
The officers and soldiers of the imperial court have already gone to Jicong Mountain. Xie Wenhua can't stop them, and she can't stop them.
Her eyes fell on the frightened people over there, and she simply turned around and walked over.
Instead of standing here, why not do something.
At this time, the entire population of Dapan Town was controlled in one place, and Xie Wenhua's soldiers formed a circle outside.
The frightened child was still crying. Xie Songhua walked over, gently touched his forehead and gave him a candy.
The woman holding the child in her arms seemed to have found a life-saving straw when she saw Xie Songhua, "Doctor Xie, Doctor Xie, you are sent by the imperial court. Please tell us, we...will we die?"
Her words attracted the attention of others, and everyone looked over.
Unlike Xie Wenhua and those soldiers with swords, Xie Songhua was at least someone they knew, and at least they had lived together before.
"No, that Liu Zhong is a bandit from Jicong Mountain. He led his men to kill Mayor Cai and instigated you to fight against the imperial court.
You are the victims. The people of Dapan Town were innocently killed. The imperial court sent imperial envoys to bring justice to you. As for the confrontation with the imperial court, it was all because of the instigation of Liu Zhong and those few people. The imperial court has its own decision." Chinese website
After all, they had fought with real swords and guns, and they had actually watched a familiar person die in front of them. Only then did the people who had been deceived by Liu Zhong and others realize what they had done, and began to be afraid.
Some people in the crowd couldn't help but cry, and this cry infected other people, making everyone feel sad.
"You are not the ones who did the evil. First it was the scoundrels who killed good people and took advantage of their jobs, and then they were the bandits who deliberately guided you. What you have to do now is to tell the court everything you know and let the court know your innocence and innocence.
I’m sorry, the ones who are really hurt in this whole thing are you townspeople who have lost your loved ones!”
There were also people in the crowd who had read books. When they heard Xie Songhua's words, they immediately understood what she meant. They immediately stood up and said, "I'll write a lawsuit! We want to sue the prince's brother-in-law, Dengzhou Wei and those mountain guards."
bandit!"
There will be no good end for those who go against the imperial court. No matter what the purpose of those in the provincial government is, as long as they take action, these people will be at a loss. They have to pick themselves out first.
There was a commotion here, and someone was galloping over from the other end. Looking over, it turned out to be a large group of soldiers and horses.
The people in Dapan Town were already frightened just now, and now they were trembling with fear when they saw the army again.
