Mr. Zhu pointed at Mr. Feng and said, "They actually instigated us to rebel!"
"Mr. Feng, don't mention this method again in the future!"
Master Peng turned pale: "Do you know what rebellion means?"
County Lieutenant Zhao did not speak, but he was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat. A trace of murderous intent flashed in his eyes when he looked at Mr. Feng.
Throughout Dakang, countless people turn into bandits every year because they can no longer survive, and many people are bullied by local petty officials, leading to violent killings.
For example, two years ago, the governor's family in the neighboring county was hacked to death by four brothers in the street for bullying the people. It caused a sensation. On the day of the beheading, the execution place was completely surrounded by onlookers.
But rebellion is different from turning into a bandit, committing violence and killing people.
If you fall into the trap of becoming a bandit, you just need to find a local backer and pay some protection fees, such as Heishui Valley and Hutoushan. The government will not only ignore it, but if there is any trouble, County Lieutenant Zhao will send someone to communicate with Heishui.
Rebellion needs to raise a big banner and officially declare rebellion against the imperial court.
No emperor cares about a bandit, and no emperor can tolerate rebellion!
They support bandits, oppress the people, and even murder the noble Jin Feng. Their influence is only in Jinchuan County, and no big shot in the court cares at all.
But if you dare to rebel, you will definitely be brought to the court quickly!
What awaits them will be the most ruthless suppression by the imperial court.
Fighting against repression is not just about shouting a few slogans. It requires a large number of people to follow to have the possibility of success.
As for County Lieutenant Zhao and the other three, the people wanted to skin them and tear them apart. Who would be willing to fight for them?
That's why the three of them were so frightened when they heard Mr. Feng talking about rebellion.
"You three gentlemen, please listen to what I have to say!"
Mr. Feng said: "Of course I know we can't rebel. What I mean is that we can threaten Jin Feng with rebellion!"
"Are you scared out of your wits?"
Mr. Zhu said coldly: "Are you threatening Jin Feng? Do you think we don't die fast enough? Are you going to hand Jin Feng a knife again?"
"If it were anyone else, this would definitely not work, but the three gentlemen should not forget the relationship between Jin Feng and Lord Qing."
Mr. Feng said: "Jinchuan is the fiefdom of Lord Qing. According to the laws of Dakang, if we rebel in Jinchuan, Lord Qing will be implicated. Otherwise, he will be stripped of his rank and dismissed from office!"
"Jin Feng is a man who values love and justice, and his relationship with Lord Qing is extraordinary. He will definitely not watch something like this happen!"
County Lieutenant Zhao's eyes lit up and he understood what Mr. Feng meant.
"Your Excellency is wise!"
Mr. Feng cupped his fists and flattered: "But rebellion is a way to die with Jin Feng. It must not be used until the last moment!"
"Sir, do you have any other ideas?"
County Lieutenant Zhao asked quickly.
He is now completely confused and can only hope that Mr. Feng can think of a way to break the situation.
"Jin Feng has now captured Zhao Kuan. With his vengeful character, he will definitely not let you and the two masters go."
Mr. Feng said: "So even if the three of them escape this disaster, I'm afraid they won't be able to continue living in Jinchuan."
"As long as we can survive, we can talk about the rest later."
County Lieutenant Zhao asked: "Do you have a way for us to escape?"
The two squires also nodded repeatedly.
At this point, they no longer expect anything else, they just hope to survive.
"There is a way, but I don't know if you are willing to cooperate."
"What can you do first?" Zhaoxian Lieutenant asked.
"Your Excellency is still the captain of the county army. If you want to go out of the city to suppress the bandits, who can stop you?"
Mr. Feng said: "To be honest with you, I once hid a big boat at the foot of Yangui Mountain on the Jialing River. As long as you and the two gentlemen arrive at the Jialing River and travel thousands of miles down the river, Jin Feng will definitely chase it no matter how powerful it is."
Not more than a few.
When the time comes, you can go to the south of the Yangtze River to become wealthy and idle people, or go to the sea along the river."
"What a fan of the authorities!"
County Lieutenant Zhao slapped his forehead hard.
When he heard that his slaves had reported that Zhao Kuan had been kidnapped under the city gate, County Lieutenant Zhao panicked and quickly ordered the city guards to close the city gate.
Now that I think about it, what Mr. Feng said makes sense. Jin Feng is just a virtual prince and does not have any position. Even if there is evidence in hand, he cannot be directly convicted.
Before that, he was still an official of the imperial court, and Jin Feng did not dare to kill him at will like he killed Master Zhou.
He has no right to stop the county captain from suppressing the bandits, let alone the government soldiers!
He could have led his troops out of the city in a big way.
Closing the city gate makes it seem like you are not asking for trouble.
But it's not too late now. Over the years he has been a county captain, he has plundered a lot of people's wealth and wealth. As long as he can escape, it will be enough for him to remain anonymous and prosperous for the rest of his life.
"Thank you sir for the advice, I will make arrangements right away!"
County Lieutenant Zhao solemnly saluted Mr. Feng.
At this time, his view of Mr. Feng took a 180-degree turn, and he felt that Mr. Feng was the smartest person in the world.
Mr. Feng smiled and clasped his fists, indicating to County Lieutenant Zhao to help himself.
"Sir, you can't leave us behind!"
When Mr. Zhu and Mr. Peng saw that County Lieutenant Zhao was about to leave, they quickly stopped him and begged.
"Don't worry, I'll have someone deliver some sets of clothes for the soldiers later. You guys can put on your clothes and let's go together!"
County Lieutenant Zhao said impatiently.
"Thank you, sir, thank you, sir!"
The two squires sent County Lieutenant Zhao out of the Wei Family Restaurant with tears of gratitude.
When they came back and wanted to discuss the details with Mr. Feng, they found that Mr. Feng was missing.
At this time, Mr. Feng was running quickly from the alley towards Dongcheng with a few people.
Jinchuan County Government is not big, so a few people quickly slipped under the east city wall.
In ancient times, the city wall had to go around the city, and it was impossible to have people standing guard at every place.
If it is not in a state of war readiness, the government soldiers will only guard a few key places such as a few city gates and corners of the city wall. Patrolling other city walls once every half a month is fine.
The section of the city wall where Mr. Feng and the others were located was an area rarely patrolled by government soldiers.
The man following Mr. Feng deftly lifted the wooden board blocked by rotten grass blades, revealing a black hole as big as a water tank.
"Big Dog, do you usually sneak in and out from here?"
Mr. Feng glanced at the black hole and asked.
"Yes, it took Master and I more than half a year to dig through this hole. It is a means of saving our lives."
Big Dog said: "If you hadn't helped me before, Mr. Feng, I wouldn't have told you even if I gave you more money."
"Jinchuan will be Jin Feng's world from now on. If you can't survive here, come with me."
Mr. Feng asked.
"Thank you sir, but you also know that I still have an old mother, wife and children at home. What will they do if I leave?"
The big dog shook his head and refused. Just as he was about to say something more, his eyes suddenly widened.
When he looked down, he saw a sharp knife tip emerging from his chest.
