Chapter 119 Bandits attack the county town
County Magistrate Tan had no choice but to hear the sound of killing in private and screaming, he was even more scared. Although he was worried about his wives, concubines and children, his life was more important. He remembered what Gu Yezhou said just now and looked around to see if there was any soil or something. However, for many days of snow, there was no soil on the ground except for the white snow.
His eyes fell on the toilet, gritted his teeth, crawled over, grabbed a handful of feces and smeared it on his face. Although it smelled bad, it was better than lifelessness.
After touching his face, he curled up under the toilet, trembling, waiting for the storm to pass.
Ning's father and Ning Lao Er were originally looking around and watching the fun behind the victims. After the victims rushed into the yamen, they were also excited. They were still happy to do the robbery by fire, so they rushed in with the victims.
When they arrived in the yard, they saw most of the victims rushing to the granary. Ning's father wanted to follow him, but Ning Laoer caught him and said anxiously: "Dad! We don't lack food! Besides, can we grab so many people? Even if we grab it, how many can we carry it?"
When Ning's father heard this, he nodded: "Yes, where are we going?"
"Take money! Money is more than food!"
The minds who had this idea were faster, and they were already yelling towards the backyard of the Yinku and the Yamen. Ning's father and Ning Lao Er also yelled and followed behind. Many people knew the layout of the Yamen, so they found the location of the Yinku. However, the Yinku was surrounded by a high wall and was a separate courtyard. When they rushed to the door, the door had been tightly closed.
The victims began to rush to the gate of Yinku yard frantically. Dongdongdong, but the inside and outside of the Yinku gate were made of thick wooden boards wrapped in iron. It was very strong and could not be opened at all.
Ning Laoer shouted: "There is wood over there. Go and carry it over and hit it!"
Other victims also saw a pile of wood in the yard, which seemed to be used to repair the yamen. Some victims ran to carry the wood and started to hit the door. The strength increased a lot, and the yard gate made a cracking sound. The victims were even more excited and hugged the logs harder and hit the door violently. Among them were Ning's father and Ning Laoer. They had just eaten and had food in their stomachs. So they had the strength to hold the wood.
Finally, the gate of the courtyard was knocked open heavily.
The victims behind them rushed over to them first. Ning's father and Ning Laoer quickly put down the wood and rushed in.
As soon as they rushed into the gate of the silver treasury, they heard a sound of arrows and crossbows. Countless arrows shot over like raindrops. Blood splattered, screams sounded, and the victims who rushed to the front were all shot down. Ning's father and others had already seen clearly at the back. It turned out that the rows of soldiers in the silver treasury were divided into three factions, with bows and crossbows in their hands. They took turns to go forward and shoot arrows at them.
Ning's father and Ning Lao Er were so scared that they turned around and ran. Ning Lao Er had just run a few steps when he was caught up by an arrow from behind. He rushed to the back of the head! Without a word, he fell to the ground and died.
Ning's father didn't care about his son, so he ran out of the yard with his head in his arms and ran to the corner of a house. He then took a breath and turned around and saw that the officers and soldiers had rushed out and chased the victims and shot arrows. There were screams and crying for help everywhere. He was so scared that he turned around and ran away again.
In a panic, he actually ran to the granary. There were the most victims here. There were shouts of killing and countless screams from the granary. Obviously, there were soldiers in the granary, rushing in to grab food. However, because there were too many victims, many victims still grabbed the food and were running out. More victims rushed into the granary like a tide.
Ning's father was scared and dared not follow him in and grab food. He turned around and ran out of the yamen with his head in his arms.
There were still many people in the square outside the yamen who were afraid to rush in to grab food, standing there waiting and watching.
At this moment, he heard a shout of killing from the street to the east, and then countless soldiers rushed over! Holding weapons in hand, he chopped them when he saw them. Ning's father was so scared that he turned around and ran west.
At this time, smoke drifted from the dark sky with heavy snow, which quickly covered the whole sky. There was also a burst of thunder and bursting sounds of burning. At the same time, there were sounds of shouting for killing from a distance.
The whole city was in chaos. Ning's father was so scared that he got into a snow pile in the corner of the house, covering himself with snow, but exposing his nose and breathing in, praying in his heart that he would never be found and killed.
The wife of Jiacai rushed in with the victims. She went to the Mi Cang, and the most victims rushed towards the here. The officers and soldiers who were responsible for guarding the granary were shooting bows and arrows, killing many victims. She was smart and kept hiding around and hiding. She did not get caught in the arrow, but carried a bag of rice.
After carrying the rice, the target became obvious. The officers and soldiers mainly shot these people. Several arrows flew over, most of them hitting the rice bag on her back. One of them hit her ass. She screamed and fell down, and then got up desperately, carrying the rice bag and then ran away, and finally limped out of the rice basket.
She was very excited. With this bag of rice, the whole family was afraid that there would be hope. She was happy and the wound on her butt didn't hurt much. But the more she ran, the food on her back became lighter and lighter. At first she thought it was because she was too happy, but later she found something was wrong. She put the bag down and saw it, and was stunned. The bag was originally full of food, but now there was only half a bag left. There were several arrow shafts inserted behind the rice bag! It turned out that the rice was flowing out from here.
She turned to look at the food that had been scattered on the snow, and hesitated whether to dig it back. At this moment, the victims were shouting in horror from the gate: "The officers and soldiers are here! Run!"
The officers and soldiers stationed in various barracks in the city were rushing towards the yamen from all directions, killing many victims who robbed food and fled along the way.
When the wife of Jiacai heard this horrified cry, she didn't dare to go back to dig food. She grabbed the place where the rice was leaking, and ran out of the yamen with the remaining half bag of rice, and rushed into the alley.
——————————
Gu Yezhou carried the box of silver coins and climbed over the wall, and also entered the alley. He ran all the way to where they lived.
On the way, Gu Yezhou took off his jacket and robe, changed into a ragged torn dress with a victim, and walked back with the box.
When he arrived at his residence, he hid the cash box in the deep snow, and then quietly approached. Sure enough, he found that the people who followed him had returned here and were ready to wait for the rabbit.
Gu Yezhou looked down at his ragged clothes, and then lowered his head to approach the bandits at the entrance of the alley. He dressed like a victim. The bandits thought they were victims, but they didn't pay much attention. Gu Yezhou got closer and suddenly took action, killing all the bandits with three punches and two kicks.
He will never show mercy to the enemy.
As usual, he killed all the dozen or so bandits who were squatting around the courtyard where they lived, and then took out a box of money from the snow and ran into the yard with him.
In the yard, Ning Sanmei and Zeng Feixia were looking at the direction of the yamen. When they heard the noise, their faces were pale and nervous. They didn't know what happened. At this time, they saw a disaster victim rushing in and about to ask, Ning Sanmei had already recognized Gu Yezhou at first sight, and said in surprise and joy: "Sir! You..."
"Quick! Take the money and go to the escort agency! The bandits are going to attack the county town!"
Gu Yezhou thought that since the bandits had already stirred the victims to rush into the yamen to grab food, they would definitely kill in the chaos. From the fact that the bandits lurked in and squatted near the house where they lived, they could tell that they were weak now, and they were not the time to fight with them. They could only hide and hide in a place that the bandits could not find for a while. This is why he knocked the bandits unconscious.
When several people heard the bandits attacking the city, they were frightened. They didn't bother to ask in detail and hurriedly hugged their own things. Ning Sanmei and Zeng Feixia helped to carry Gu Yezhou's remaining money and half a bag of rice. They had to do so. Zeng Feisong carried the wife of Qi on his back. The wife of Qi was holding his twin babies and followed Gu Yezhou to the door.
Ning Sanmei asked anxiously: "Sir, where are they going?"
"Hide at Huaixiang's house!"
Mo Huaixiang and his family lived in their uncle's house. Her uncle was just a slightly wealthy gentry in the city, not a mi merchant. There were many families like him in the city, so the victims would not rob their houses for a while. And the ancient Yezhou had been there, and the courtyard wall was very high, which was easier to defend.
Gu Yezhou took everyone out and looked around. There was no one except the bandits who died on the ground. Then he felt a little relieved and ran to Mo Huaixiang's uncle's house while walking on the thick snow.
Along the way, there were many victims running towards the yamen. At this moment, Gu Yezhou heard a noisy sound from behind and screams. He quickly stopped and turned around. He saw a group of officers and soldiers coming from the street in the distance, holding swords and killing the victims.
Gu Yezhou quickly said, "Hurry! Enter the alley! Hurry!"
The group quickly followed into the alley. The officers and soldiers went to the reinforcements of the yamen, so they did not go into the alley to search. Gu Yezhou and the others walked through the alley and finally arrived at the door of Mo Huai Xiang's uncle's house.
Along the way, he kept a close eye on whether there was a secret tail behind him. After confirming that there was no such thing, he went forward to slap the door.
At this time, the entire county town was covered with smoke, and there were shouts of killing everywhere. I don’t know whether it was the officers and soldiers who killed the victims or the bandits who entered the city were burning, killing, looting.
Gu Yezhou patted open the door, and the doorman was already frightened, but he still recognized Gu Yezhou: "Sir, are you...?"
"We are here to send food to Young Master Mo and the others!" Gu Yezhou patted the money box and looked at Zeng Feixia and others, "They are my friends, there is a mess outside and want to go in and hide."
The concierge quickly let them into the house, and at the same time asked Gu Yezhou nervously: "What's going on? I heard that the victims were causing trouble at the yamen?"
