Chapter 186 Xinghua, Gaoyou

Xinghua City, County Government.

"Sir, those big families are all crying out for justice, refusing to leave, and demanding severe punishment of Liu Ziren. What should I do?" said the master and county magistrate Li Zheng.

"I don't want to leave? Then let them stay!" Li Zheng was full of anger. "This Liu Ziren is really a matter of messing up every time. Let's see how he dealt with this time!"

A few days ago, Nasulading, who came from Gaoyou Mansion, was stationed in Xinghua for one or two days. He gathered together the wealthy servants in Xinghua and mobilized a large number of troops to attack Killing Port.

Killing Port? That's Killing Port! Li Zheng never thought that he would go to that place to use force. The reputation of Killing Port is well-known far and wide.

However, Nasuladin's orders had to be ignored, especially this was the order of Lord Li Qi, the governor of Gaoyou, and asked the wealthy families in Xinghua to send their servants to encircle Tang He who was hiding in the murder port.

When Li Zheng heard Tang He, he shivered all over.

Who is Tang He? The Thousand Houses of the Red Turban Army, it is said that this person killed people like numb, and his eyes were as big as a copper bell. He didn't need to raise a knife. Just glaring with those eyes can make the other party unable to pluck up the courage.

Those big families were even more tempted by Liu Ziren last time and sent their servants to encircle Furong Village, but they returned home in a great defeat and suffered considerable losses. This time, they would send people to the Killing Port again? Who dares to go?

They hated Liu Ziren in their hearts. You want to die by yourself, so why do you want to take us?

But they dared not ignore it. Nasuladin and five hundred cavalry had arrived. If they didn't send out their own people, the consequences would be very serious. Each large household sent five servants, and the servants gathered together to draw lots. What they caught was like going to die.

Taking a boat to the Killer Port is also a drag. When they were driving the boat, they deliberately slowed down, hoping that when they arrived at the Killer Port, the battle there was over.

As a result, the battle was about to end. However, the arrogant Nasuladin was defeated. Moreover, there was a more terrifying guy waiting for him on the river. The terrible sound blew his death knell, and none of them could escape his life.

If it weren't for Liu Ziren, where would he have suffered such a huge loss? All the accounts would naturally be counted on Liu Ziren. His family had been copied by the wealthy people long ago, but they did not find out that Liu Ziren was still not enough. They came to the county government office and asked the county magistrate Li Zheng to arrest Liu Ziren.

If Li Zheng is in a difficult situation, if he does not punish Liu Ziren severely, he will lose his trust in these big families. He still needs the support of these big families in Xinghua. However, if he arrests Liu Ziren, what crime will he be given? He was ordered by the Gaoyou Prefect. Isn’t he slapped the prefect in the face by doing so?

He was helpless. These big-name people outside, just make a fuss. After this trouble, they had enough trouble and clean up the mess again.

"Sir, sir, something is wrong!" A yamen runner stumbled in.

"What kind of squealing is it?" the master angrily said, "What big thing can happen?"

"Sir, Master, the group of strong men in the killing port snatched the Baiju Salt Field!"

Baiju Salt Field? Li Zheng only felt that the darkness in front of him was about to faint.

Baiju Salt Field, on the east coast of Xinghua County, is one of the main salt fields of the court. Although it is in Xinghua, it is not under the jurisdiction of Xinghua and is directly under the jurisdiction of the Salt Inspection Department. However, it is in Xinghua after all, and the salt field is the main income of the court. If the salt field is lost, it may not be able to be a long time for his own official position.

"Sir, sir!" the master shouted loudly.

Li Zheng fell on the chair and said, "Tell me, what should we do?"

"Sir, the south of Baiju Salt Field is Dingxichang. This Baiju Salt Field has been taken down. I'm afraid that Dingxichang is also..."

Li Zheng looked at his master. What happened recently? Good things have happened, and bad things have happened one after another. If Ding Xi was taken down, it would probably be time for his head to move.

"Sir, the most important thing we are at the moment is to report to Gaoyou Mansion as soon as possible. With our current capabilities, we may not be able to confront those Red Turban Army."

That's right, even Nasuladin's five hundred cavalry were defeated by the opponent. He only had dozens of yamen runners and did not have many troops. The last time he came back from attacking Furong Village, Hadanbatel no longer got close to him. He had no soldiers, so how could he fight against the opponent?

"The Gaoyou Mansion sent Nasulading and returned after the defeat. They would definitely not be willing to give up. We sent someone to report the mess quickly and let Gaoyou Mansion continue. I guess that in order to cover up the failure, Gaoyou will definitely send troops to encircle and suppress it again. Before this, Gaoyou Mansion will not report to the court again. Otherwise, not only us, but also the prefect Li Qi, would probably be implicated." said the master.

Will the prefect Li Qi do that? Li Zheng is really unsure, but he is unable to win the salt field anyway, so report it to the top. As for the result, it depends on how the prefect measures it is.

"Hurry up, write a letter and report it to the prefect." Li Zheng said.

"Yes, sir." The master quickly came to the table and served him in a pen and ink.

After sending the messenger, Li Zheng was waiting for the reply message uneasy. What was waiting for? He didn't dare to think about it.

Before the Gaoyou Mansion reply, I waited for the crying of the wealthy families near the salt farm. Their home was confiscated by the rioters nearby, and the property of the family was also robbed by the rioters. The leader of the rioters was said to be the former Tsangsiya Zhang Shicheng of Baiju Salt Field. This man was consuming the salary of the court. Unexpectedly, he did not accept the court's affection at all and dared to gather people to rebel!

Li Zheng was confused. Is it Tang He or Zhang Shicheng? Are the two of them in the same group? Where is this? Li Zheng completely collapsed and was in chaos in his rule. He is probably really the end of his career.

Many big fugitives came from Xinghua City, saying that those chaotic people were really terrible. They specially picked up big people to bully them, forcibly borrowed grain, and slaughtered the whole family without borrowing grain, and then burned them in a fire. What is even more incredible is that those chaotic people not only possess weapons, but also have very powerful weapons. It is said that there is a kind of musket that can hit every shot a few hundred steps away, which is much more powerful than a bow and arrow. There is also a kind of stone that can explode. No matter how strong the courtyard wall is, it cannot resist the sound of the shattering stone.

Various versions, combined with the losses suffered not long ago, even the wealthy people in Xinghua City were moved. There were rumors that the rioters captured the Baiju Salt Field and the Dingxi Salt Field, and were about to attack Xinghua. Some people had no choice but to take their own property to Gaoyou and Yangzhou, and even planned to move to Dadu along the canal.

Xinghua is already in a panic, and Gaoyou Mansion is already in a panic.

Li Qi did not expect that a small murder port could actually stop Nasuladin's cavalry, and he did not expect that five hundred Mongolian cavalry would be buried in such a small murder port.

When he looked at Liu Ziren in front of him, he almost couldn't believe that what Liu Ziren said was true, but he knew that it must be true.

"Where is Lord Nasuladin?" Li Qi asked quickly. This is what he cares most about. If even Nasuladin died in battle, it would be difficult to explain.

He raised his head and saw Nasuladin and Baotong rushing in anger.

"I'm going to die, so I'll take your dog's life first!" Baotong remembered the tragic deaths of his two younger brothers. If it weren't for Liu Ziren, how could he lead a team to encircle Tang He? The sheep was not caught, but turned into a wolf. He bit the hunter, which made him very upset.

He raised his knife and chopped Liu Ziren's head.

Liu Ziren had a sword light in front of him, but he had no time to dodge. If he had known, the scene just now would have been completed earlier.

Showing mercy under the knife! Li Qi was about to say this, but suddenly he thought that the five hundred cavalry were finished, and he had to find an vent tone. He stopped Baotong, where did he vent his anger? These four words were not spoken.

"Ah!" Liu Ziren looked at the knife light, and then a sharp pain came. As soon as he shouted this sound, his whole head had already turned to the side.

Li Qi turned his face and asked, "Lord Nasulading, what's going on this time? Why didn't you see Erlang and Sanlang?"

"They..." Before Nasuladin finished speaking, Baotong interjected: "The second brother and the third brother are probably in danger. They are all defeated by Liu Ziren. If he brought his servants to arrive early, we will be prepared. He missed the military information and should be beheaded!"

"Yes, yes, it's time to kill!" Li Qi asked, "What are you going to do next?"

"Correate all the remaining troops and horses, and then go to the Killing Port to avenge my two younger brothers!" said Baotong.

"This..." Li Qi was shocked. If you lead the troops away, Gaoyou will become an empty city. What's so great? However, he did not dare to persuade him. In anger, if Baotong cut him off with one knife, it would be a loss. Although he was the governor of Gaoyou, he was not a Mongolian after all, and he reported to the court. He didn't know what to do, but he saw the King of Hell first.

After saying that, Baotong turned around and wanted to leave.

"Come back!" Nasuladin said, "This time we underestimated the enemy and suffered a great loss. I thought that the Red Turban Army was not our opponent at all. I didn't expect that the opponent's firearm was so sharp that even if we brought the remaining 1,500 people, we had no chance of winning."

Looking at the red-eyed Baotong, Nasuladin's heart was actually even more painful than him. The two sons died. They fought with them and won many battles. Unexpectedly, they missed their heads and fell to the small place of Killer Port.

"What should we do then? I want to take revenge!"

"Sir, sir, there is an emergency report!" A yamen runner said, "Ah-" He saw a headless corpse on the ground in front of him, frightened and even his legs trembled.

"What's up?"

"Master, sir, Xinghua County Yin Lai reported that Baiju Salt Field was defeated by the rioters, and Dingxi Salt Field is probably not guaranteed..."

Li Qi took a deep breath: "What's going on? Where is the person who sent the letter?"

"Just outside, it was sent by the Yin of Xinghua County."

"Bring it in! I'm going to ask in person!"
Chapter completed!
