As dusk approached, the air in Wuchang City became more and more dull and hot, and there was still no wind. However, people started running and shouting in the streets and alleys that were originally quite quiet, constantly slapping the doors of each household. When the door opened, they lowered their voices and complained.

"Zhang Si family, there are five people in your family. Once it is really as rumored before, the government will control the food and no takeout, and the price will increase by more than five times. Can your wife and children still survive?"

"Honey Han, I know you are timid and have never had any disputes with others, but now it is time to have no way out. If you don't want to starve to kill yourself, you have to make a living for yourself and your family!"

"Old Xue, if you are a man, just go with me with your brother. So what if there are thousands of official troops there guarding? There are more than 100,000 people in our entire Wuchang City. If one spits, he can drown them all. Are you still afraid that they will not succeed?"

"Brother Wang, what are you afraid of? This time, we are not the only people who take action, the Hu family, Qin family, Xiao family... more than ten major families in the city will join forces. As long as we follow them and make contributions, will we still be afraid that we will not get any benefits at that time?"...

Different conversations, similar contents are constantly going on in front of a house in the city. Some people are hesitant, but many people are already moved. Just think about the terrible news that has been circulating in the city in the past two days, the imperial envoy will order the major yamen to start confiscating the grains of the city and then sell them at several times the price. The fear in the hearts of these ordinary people will gradually be replaced by anger.

Especially when someone assured them that the operation would be successful, and the guards of various large households were charging forward, and the so-called imperial guards were even more vulnerable to waste, their last hesitation had also disappeared. Under the agitation of their good relatives, friends and neighbors, these adult men from each household picked up sticks, hoes, iron rakes and other farm tools as weapons, walked out of the house, gathered, and rushed towards the Xiangchun Garden while it was not yet dark.

When the naive state went dark, countless people in Wuchang had already walked out of their homes and gathered from all directions into teams. Faced with the rolling heat waves, and regardless of their sweat, they surrounded Xiang Xiangchun Garden.

And this scene naturally reported to the Governor's Office and Jiang Guixun at the first time, which made him smile proudly: "Then Hu Wenze has some skills, and he actually mobilized thousands of people in a short time. Judging from this attitude, it should not be too difficult to rush into the Xiangchun Garden and make a fuss."

"How should we do it sir?" Many subordinates in front of them were still in doubt and couldn't help asking.

"Call the soldiers in the city and follow my orders!" Governor Jiang said with a serious expression, "There are also the troops outside the city, and let them come as soon as possible. When things get worse, they will have to rely on the troops of each battalion to control the whole city!"

Some subordinates just nodded and wanted to go out to pass the order, but several officers and soldiers rushed to the front of the hall: "I have seen the governor. We are here to pass the message on the order of General Liu (Yu). Our two battalions of troops have sent troops to Wuchang and will arrive after dark. Everything will be subject to the orders of the Lord."

"Okay!" When Jiang Guixun heard this report, he was immediately happy. He was worthy of being the command of the two battalions he promoted. The cooperation in time was just right. "You go back and pass on my orders. After they enter the city, they will hold their troops and stop moving. It is not too late to obey my orders and then kill them."

"Yes, obey your order!" Several messengers agreed quickly, then quickly got up and retreated.

It was not until this time that Governor Jiang, who was confident, let out a long sigh: "Very good, I'll tell the people in front of me, it's time to attack! By the way, the walls on all sides of Xiangchun Garden have done their best, right?"

"Don't worry, as long as the chaotic people collide, the Xiangchun Garden will quickly collapse when the solid walls look on all sides, and they will be caught off guard!"

"Well, next, let's watch the show first and see how many abilities the Luotian Sect traitors have." Jiang Guixun said, and then burst into laughter. The subordinates around him also laughed. Everything was under their control. It was impossible for merely two thousand people to survive the siege again and again!

...

"Sir, something is wrong outside." When Li Ling, who was washing and changing clothes in his room, saw Yang Zhen hurriedly pushing the door, he didn't react much, and just asked calmly: "What do you mean?"

"It was quite quiet, but now it's suddenly noisy. It's not in one direction, but a large number of people are moving towards us from all directions, as if they are coming towards us."

As soon as he finished speaking, bursts of shouting were vaguely transmitted from the outside. Although he couldn't hear what he was shouting, the angry tone and the roar that only hundreds or thousands of people made Li Ling's face darker: "So quickly? As soon as I entered Wuchang, they couldn't help but encourage the people in the city to attack me first?"

"Sir, what should I do?" Yang Zhen asked hesitantly. If he was elsewhere and faced with powerful enemies such as the Green Forest Bandits or the Luo Tian Sect, he would not have asked this. He was nothing more than an offensive and defensive battle with the enemy with his men.

But now, what he faces has become ordinary people. Even though Yang Zhen killed a lot of people, he was a little hesitant at this time. He didn't want to kill innocent people indiscriminately.

"Let Zhang Jing and the others come forward first and talk to these people in my name. It would be best if they can be persuaded to withdraw. They are not allowed to attack them unless they have to." Li Ling said after pondering. Zhang Jing in his mouth was the head of the imperial guards now, and he naturally took care of the safety of the entire team.

Yang Zhen nodded and quickly walked out. When he arrived outside the door, he exchanged glances with Li Moyun, who was also solemn and pressed the knife with one hand. The latter would never leave Li Ling from now on. And when Li Ling put on his clothes and came out of the door, he quickly stepped forward: "Young master, it's better not to go out before the matter has subsided."

Li Ling pondered for a moment, but nodded in response. The situation is now unclear, and it is obvious that the forces in the city are inducing the people to cause trouble. It is difficult to guarantee that they have hidden some ruthless tricks behind them, so he is indeed not busy going out to meet the people.

But after a while, the shouts became louder and louder, and even there were constant noises of conflict and fights coming in. Li Ling's brows were locked. He turned his head and ordered the guards who were drawing their swords to say, "Who of you go out to see it, be sure to let them restrain themselves, and don't really have a big conflict!"

This mutation was indeed a bit beyond his expectations. He thought that with his usual style in the officialdom, Jiang Guixun had to make a fuss with him first, so that he would completely break up without any other choice and then make a big fuss.

But this time, I just entered the city, and I didn’t even sit on the hot side and didn’t even eat a bite of food. The people have already launched an attack on their residence under the encouragement of some people. Is this the intention of directly leveraging the power of the people to put themselves to death?

After receiving the order, a guard who had agreed, ran out and ran a few times. He finally came to the gate of Xiangchun Garden at the front, and then saw a scene that made him frightened. He saw that there were all dark crowds, lit up the crowds around him, illuminating the faces of the people, and distorting them. Some people were shouting loudly in Wuchang local dialect. Although they couldn't hear what they were calling, they could tell that they were not good words just by looking at their appearance.

On the other side, dozens of men were about to rush over, but the imperial guards picked up the sword and spear and quickly blocked it. Zhang Jing even shouted: "Dear villagers, don't do anything randomly. This is the place where the imperial envoy is stationed. You are so rushing around, but your disrespect to the imperial envoy is to be punished for serious crimes. What do you have any appeal? Now tell me, I will tell you that as long as it is a reasonable thing, the lord will definitely make the decision for you!"

"We will never believe your words now!" someone shouted angrily.

"Yes, the government has always been the least honest. If you say it, you will reduce the food. As a result, the food price has been so high, will we still let us live?"

"It's fine, we can still bear it. But now, the imperial envoy wants to take away the little bit of our living food. How can this be true? The villagers, anyway, they are dead. Why should we follow us and kill the dog officials so that the government can know that we are not easy to bully!"

"Kill in, kill!"

Inspired by the strong men who took the lead, the people completely lost their patience. They roared and roared, all waving simple weapons such as farm tools and sticks, and rushed straight towards the garden gate with red eyes.

The impact here also caused the people of other parties to be completely unable to hold back. They all rushed up like red-eyed bulls, regardless of the storm. Some used weapons to greet the guards, some hit the walls that were as high as the person, and some even hit the walls that fitted and crashed into the walls.

The soldiers received orders, but they did not dare to wield their weapons to attack the rioters. They could only dodge and block. However, in this way, they could not resist and could only be forced to retreat step by step, and even dozens of people who rushed to the front rushed into the garden.

Just when Zhang Jing was shocked and wanted to change some strategies to scare away these chaotic people, the seemingly solid wall in front suddenly began to deform and disintegrate, and then with a few loud bangs, it completely collapsed with the sound of smoke and dust.
