As soon as Mao Yiqu got up, he heard the news from the Zhizhi Yamen, and the fragrant tea he gargled in his mouth spurted out in one sip.
"It was Eunuch Li's people who sent the news. Over at the Weaving Yamen, the Jin Yiwei brought by the Guanfeng Envoy has been taken under control. Eunuch Li was also sent to Wu County by the Jin Yiwei's people. He is still there today.
I haven’t come back, so I don’t know what’s going on!”
Mao Yiqu frowned. Compared to Li Shi, he, the governor of Suzhou, had real authority, and he was also the admiral of military affairs. If a mere Guanfeng envoy was not killed, he would not be afraid at all if he only brought a few imperial guards to protect him.
.
To put it bluntly, if the imperial guards led by Mr. Guanfengshi dared to come to his governor's office and act wild, he would dare to keep them all and then ask someone from the Fusi Department of Beizhen to come and pick them up.
However, just because he is not afraid does not mean that he can sit back and watch this matter.
If the Master Guanfeng was too close to Kou Shen, Zhou Shunchang and others in the past, and now he is dealing with Li Shi, it is basically certain that the Master Guanfeng has become the opposite of Nine Thousand Years Old.
So what should he do in this matter?
"Come here, order five hundred soldiers and horses!" He pondered for a while, then suddenly stood up: "Follow me, the governor, to Wu County to suppress the mob!"
"yes!"
It only took more than an hour to get from Suzhou to Wuxian. When they arrived at Wuxian, Mao Yiqu's soldiers rushed to the gate of Liaoyuan without saying a word and surrounded the garden.
A county government officer came to inquire, but was immediately pushed aside. Hundreds of people were holding knives and guns, looking menacing.
"Shout!"
Mao Yiqu sat on the horse and ordered coldly.
"Listen to the rebels inside, you have been surrounded by officers and soldiers. Our Lord Governor has said that you should quickly send the Master Guanfeng and Eunuch Li who are held hostage by you. Your crime will be reduced by one level. If you don't comply, you will be killed by the officers and soldiers.
Come in and you will die without a burial place!"
Several soldiers with loud voices shouted repeatedly at the gate of Polygonum Garden. The gate of Polygonum Garden was tightly closed without any movement.
"Interesting!" Jiang Wan listened to the commotion outside and said, "This hairy squaw is so angry that he is planning to arrest someone!?"
"I can't resist it!"
Chen Wenrui climbed down from the wall: "There are so many officers and soldiers outside, but just relying on guards like Mr. Jiang, I'll be gone in one glance!"
The guards around Jiang Wan all looked at Jiang Wan, without the slightest fear on their faces. Most of the Jinyi Guards had gone to Suzhou, and most of the people who stayed here were Jiang Wan's people.
"It's said outside that the rebels have kidnapped Eunuch Li and I!" Jiang Wan sighed: "I always feel that whether we resist or not, the officers and soldiers outside will rush in, and there will be chaos. What the governor can do
There are so many reasons to explain things!”
"I won't be captured without any help!" Zhou Shunchang and several other literati looked solemn on their faces: "They are the rebels because they are the accomplices of the tiger!"
"Go and secure the gate!" Jiang Wan ordered the guards around her: "Don't worry about other places. As long as anyone dares to rush in from the gate, just take action!"
The guards responded, one by one drew their weapons and headed towards the door.
Chen Wenrui squinted his eyes and looked at the guards coming out from Jiang Wan, with a cautious look on his face.
When he said that he could not withstand the officers and soldiers, he meant that the number of people in the garden was compared with the number of people outside. However, the guards of the Lord Watcher were all strong and well-armed. He even saw no less than four or five people in their hands.
They all have firearms that are rare in Jiangnan, which is a bit exaggerated.
Especially when these guards heard Jiang Wan's order, not only did they not show timidity, but they showed enthusiasm. This was completely different from the officers and soldiers he saw.
"Really fight?" Chen Wenrui said: "I will go out and explain, Mao Yizhu will probably listen to my explanation!"
"We have brought troops here, why do we still want to listen to your explanation!" Jiang Wan shook his head: "If you show up, in his mouth, you are also being held hostage by the rebel party, and you can't help but speak for the rebel party!"
"Wait a minute!" Jiang Wan said calmly: "We'll wait until a few people die!"
The sound of shouting in the distance gradually disappeared, and the surroundings became deathly silent. If no one knew what was going on outside, no one would dare to believe that hundreds of people were gathering outside at this moment.
Suddenly, there was a loud "bang" sound, and there was a faint scream, and it seemed to be an illusion. Before anyone could distinguish it carefully, these thunderous loud noises rang one after another.
"The thief resisted arrest!"
"The thieves have firearms, but where are the archers..."
The sounds from outside finally came in, and this time, everyone could clearly hear what was being shouted outside without distinguishing. Everyone's eyes fell on Jiang Wan.
Now that things have come to a point, the situation is no longer under their control. The only person who has some control over the situation now is the Lord Kanfengshi who indulges his subordinates in fighting against the officers and soldiers.
"Wait, wait..."
Jiang Wan said to herself: "Both the officials and the people of Suzhou Prefecture are indeed very tough..."
Outside the gate, Mao Yiquan looked at the officers and soldiers rushing back with a livid face. He really didn't expect that the young wind watcher in the garden was more arrogant than him. He dared to let his soldiers break the door.
, and the other party dared to directly set off firecrackers and kill people.
Two guys fell outside the gate, and they didn't know whether they were alive or dead. Several others were injured in unknown places and were snatched back, screaming in agony that shook the earth.
"Tell them to shut up!" Mao Yiqu said fiercely: "Come up with the shield men, ask the archers to suppress them, and prepare the hammer to break the door!"
"Sir, this movement must be a bit loud!" The officer beside him said in a low voice: "We have archers, but the brothers don't have door-breaking hammers. Moreover, if the opponent has firearms, the shield may not be able to withstand them!"
He rolled his eyes and said, "This garden is so big, and the opponent probably doesn't have many firearms. I'll take people to go around from another place!"
"Just go in through the door!" Mao Yiqu shook his head: "If we really want to kill someone, let them die at this door, and let the people of Suzhou see how these rogues fight against the officers and soldiers of the imperial court and plot evil!"
"The casualties among our brothers will be heavy if this happens!" The officer was puzzled: "Wouldn't it be better to go around and jump into the wall to arrest people?"
Around Polygonum Garden, many people have gathered to watch the excitement. Especially the sound of a few firecrackers just now made the people excited and talking about it. In the county town, officers and soldiers can be seen going to great lengths to arrest the thieves. This
This kind of thing is rare to see only a few times in a lifetime.
"You don't understand!" Mao Yiqun looked at the people around him coldly: "Follow my instructions and break down the door!"
