Dressed as a peasant girl, she pampered the powerful villain

Cai Yong, the leader of King Rong's personal soldiers, did not expect that a small prisoner, Shi, would act so ruthlessly and decisively. He would accuse them of treason and shoot them without even looking at the imperial edict. As expected, they were the monkeys in the mountains who were called kings and were very tough.

In an instant, a volley of arrows was fired, and King Rong's soldiers were unable to retreat. The troops were in chaos, and they quickly retreated urgently.

Cai Yong was filled with resentment. He never expected that he would fall into the hands of a small prison official. He didn't even have time to reveal the "imperial edict" in his hand, but he was attacked like this.

He shouted like a roar: "Immediately prepare a ladder to escape. This door is a copper wall and an iron wall, but I will break it open."

Zhao Qian, who was standing at the county building, saw that although King Rong's soldiers were retreating, he did not dare to take it lightly and put up all the iron pots he had prepared earlier.

Military Shi, who was responsible for transporting military supplies on this trip, heard the noise at the inn early, and someone asked him if he wanted to take a look.

The military officer shook his head: "Don't cause trouble. We are mainly responsible for transporting military rations. Magistrate Gu is here, so it is not our turn to take the lead."

Xiao Bing reminded: "But this is the county under the jurisdiction of Governor Zhang, and the Guotong Marquis is also here. What if we ignore it and turn around and blame it?"

The military officer was still unmoved: "No matter how big the issue is, there are people at the top who are responsible for it. Why bother worrying about it? Just wait and see what happens."

The commotion at the county gate was not small, and soon spread throughout Tongzhou County. County Magistrate Gu was woken up in the middle of his sleep. He was stunned when he heard the county magistrate's words and fell to his seat: "This Zhao Qian is crazy, King Rong's Even the guards dare to kill him."

Staff Qi Tong reminded: "Sir, Zhao Qian killed people under the orders of Governor Zhang. This may be a battle of wits between Marquis Guotong and Prince Rong. You are still the magistrate of Tongzhou County, so you should be the one to take charge of the overall situation."

Magistrate Gu had a bitter look on his face and laughed: "Then should I help King Rong or the general of the country? King Rong's personal guards are arresting people under His Majesty's orders."

Qi Tong: "My lord, please don't be confused. If it is really His Majesty's will, people from the Ministry of War should be here, not Prince Rong's personal guards. There may be fraud in this."

As he said that, he showed the latest letter to him: "This is the latest news in Kyoto. You can read it first before making a decision."

Magistrate Gu watched Qi Tong hesitate for a while, then gritted his teeth and reached out to take it. When he opened the letter, his hands began to shake. He felt that the content in the letter would definitely scare people to death.

Sure enough, Magistrate Gu almost fainted after reading ten lines at a glance.

It will take at least four or five days to send the letter from Kyoto to Tongzhou County. Kyoto is in turmoil and changing rapidly, and we don't know what the situation is now.

King Rong has military power, and is in charge of both military and political affairs in Kyoto, as well as financial power. He has as many as 20,000 personal soldiers, and he also has civil servants and generals. If he really becomes rebellious, the only person in the court who can check and balance him is the same person in charge of military and political affairs. The fourth prince.

However, the fourth prince's mother, Concubine Lan, suddenly died of illness last month. She was about to relinquish power and observe mourning for one year. The prince, who was raised in the queen's name, was deposed. The third prince was also incompetent, with no soldiers, power, talent or virtue.

Magistrate Gu asked Qi Tong to find a way to collect this information in Kyoto. After suspecting that King Rong had treason, he made people pay attention to the dynamics within China and North Korea.

This is the latest news in Kyoto seven days ago. The letter came from a fellow official from the Ministry of Revenue. According to him, Weijun’s health is getting worse and worse. It is said that he has not been to court for three days. Prince Rong has done all the work for him. Taifu Sun wants to see His Majesty, but he is unable to do so. Having been put under house arrest by King Rong, he didn't know how the news got out. General Yue Xi, who was stationed on the far frontier, returned to Beijing privately, but was detained at the city gate and refused to enter.

After receiving the letter, Qi Tong's heart sank after reading it, and he asked the county magistrate: "Sir, it seems that this trip in Tongzhou County is very dangerous."

Magistrate Gu's face turned pale: "You mean that Prince Rong wants to take advantage of Governor Zhang's absence to take revenge on Guotong Waiting? What's the matter with Guantong County and Prefecture?"

Seeing that he was panicking but not making up his mind, Qi Tong reminded him: "Sir, I am afraid that Prince Rong is here for the iron mines and wants to take advantage of the governor's absence to control Tongzhou County. Your Excellency must not You can’t just sit there and wait for death.”

Magistrate Gu only felt that he was a prey being roasted on the fire. He looked at the people in the palace with a confused look on his face: "But what can I do? Do you want me to go against King Rong? I have almost reached the end of my tenure. It's due, but they came to arrest people based on His Majesty's decree. They killed people instead of opening the county gate. This is enough honor for the king to send me to jail."

Qi Tong was a little annoyed by his advice: "Sir, if that decree is nine out of ten, it is false."

Magistrate Gu said with a sad face: "What if it is true?"

The county magistrate on the side was very angry after hearing this. He felt that Magistrate Gu was a little confused now, and said hurriedly: "Sir, no matter whether it is true or not, it is already too late. Now you have to come forward and protect Tongzhou County with the prison history. If It would be even worse to let Prince Rong's personal guards break in and question you, Your Excellency, with unknowingly true or false decrees."

County magistrate Gu finally understood the key to this matter. The mountains are high and the emperor is far away. If King Rong wants to control Tongzhou County, although the clans here are all distant and relegated, none of them are fuel-efficient lamps. If he wants to knock on the mountain to shake the tiger, I guess the first one is to use him to kill the chicken and respect the monkey.

Thinking of this, County Magistrate Gu became extremely angry: "Then Zhao Qian is really a debt collector. He has to kill people if he does anything wrong. If someone comes, hurry up and hit the car."

Seeing that Magistrate Gu finally had an idea, Qi Tong and the magistrate looked at each other and felt very tired.

……

Upstairs in the county building, Zhao Qian asked his subordinates to set up pots to heat oil, one pot every meter, and archers were always ready.

As soon as County Magistrate Gu came up and saw the battle formation in the county building, he couldn't help but be speechless and asked Zhao Qian: "Mr. Zhao, are you going to fight?"

Zhao Qian watched the county magistrate rush forward to salute, and replied with a smile: "You are joking, I am just following the governor's order to protect the people of Tongzhou County."

County Magistrate Gu was furious when he heard this: "Zhao Qian, you should inform me first when Prince Rong's guards are here. Look what you have done. Kill people without saying a word."

Zhao Qian looked like he was listening to the instructions humbly, but he took out the official document from his arms and handed it to him: "Sir, please calm down. I am really following orders. Please take a look at it."

Magistrate Gu held back his anger and took it. After opening it, he scanned it with ten lines of eyes, and his face was full of pain and sorrow.

Qi Tong stepped forward and Magistrate Gu gave it to him. After reading it, his heart suddenly sank, but he felt that it was very dangerous.

This is an official document from Zhang Jiulin, who is far away on the border, returning to Zhao Qian. The content is consistent with the information in Kyoto. King Rong is holding Lao Weijun hostage, and His Majesty has secretly ordered General Yue Xi to go to Kyoto to "rescue" him. Therefore, anything that follows will The decrees are all false, and His Majesty’s life or death is currently uncertain.

Magistrate Gu couldn't help but cursed: "Prince Rong is seeking death."

Zhao Qian said: "Sir, now is not the time to curse. We must quickly let people guard the gates of each county. Once they break in, the people of Tongzhou County will be in trouble."

County magistrate Gu nodded repeatedly, not daring to hesitate for a moment, and asked the county magistrate to arrange for manpower to guard each county gate. He also had people close the town gates, and he also had people notify the village chiefs to protect the villagers and not to move around at will. .

The county gate is closest to the county government office, and the county government office is closest to West Town. News that the eight county gates and towns are closed are spread throughout the towns, making the people panic.

At dawn, the fish belly turns white, and as soon as the morning comes, all the vendors who want to go to and from various towns are blocked, making people even more panicked.

……

knock knock knock

The rapid knocking on the door was deafening. Feiying came out of the house, stood at the door and asked, "Who is it?"

"it's me."

Fei Ying saw it was Duan Li and hurriedly opened the door. Seeing his solemn look, Fei Ying asked in confusion: "What's so urgent?"

There was movement behind her. It was Wang Shuyan who had woken up. She was only wearing a coat and her hair was disheveled. She asked Duan Li seriously: "Did something happen outside?"

Naturally, the army rations increased from one hundred kilograms to three hundred kilograms, so she was always on guard.

It's definitely not a good thing for Duan Li to come here before it's daylight. Duan Li saw that Wang Shuyan had woken up and hurriedly walked towards her, "Miss Wang, King Rong has sent troops to capture the country and wait for her."

Wang Shuyan was startled: "What crime?"

Duan Li: "Rebellion."

Wang Shuyan's heart suddenly sank, how come it came so quickly?

"When did it happen? Aren't the county gates closed at night?"

Duan Li: "What happened last night, fortunately, the jailer Zhao Qian did not open the county gate. He acted decisively and killed King Rong's personal guards on the grounds of falsely passing on the imperial edict. Now County Magistrate Gu asked the county gate and the six towns to The door is closed today."

"The prisoner Zhao Qian killed people?" Wang Shuyan was stunned and didn't react for a moment, thinking that he heard wrongly.

Duan Li nodded: "Yes, and many of King Rong's personal guards were killed. Now King Rong's personal soldiers are already attacking the gate, making a lot of noise. If they break in, I don't know if they will massacre the people."

Yes, this was originally the death order issued by King Rong. Taking advantage of his unpreparedness, he killed all the clan members in Tongzhou County who might hinder him from ascending to the throne, especially the 'Guotonghou'.

Wang Shuyan: "Master Duan, go and tell Uncle Li Zheng about this, and tell him that King Rong is going to rebel and is already attacking the county gate, and ask him and the team leader to order everyone to hide in the house opposite my house. Then, you let your men The brothers will help and don’t let the villagers spread too thin.”

Duan Li accepted the order and retreated.

Just as Fei Ying was about to say something, Wang Shuyan gave the order: "Send a signal to ask the brothers in the dark to come out to protect the Guotong Marquis Mansion, and then bring over Li Shanchang and Mr. Li from Yi Xuetang."

Feiying did not dare to hesitate and took the order to retreat.

Duan Li informed Zhou Songqing according to Wang Shuyan's instructions. As soon as he arrived, the government servants sent by County Magistrate Gu also came to notify Zhou Songqing. Only then did Zhou Songqing feel that something was going to happen, and the terrible memories of the war came back again.

Unexpectedly, before Man Yi started fighting with Da Wei, Da Wei's prince actually rebelled first.

"Anyway, don't walk around at will." After saying this, the government officials were about to leave, mount their horses and drive away. They also wanted to inform other villages not to stay too long.

Feng Lexing heard the conversation outside and looked worried: "Third uncle, is something going to happen in Tongzhou County?" She suddenly wanted to go back to Wuli Town.

Zhou Songqing's expression was solemn. Knowing that she was concerned about the situation of the Feng family in Wuli Town, he said with relief: "We can't speculate randomly at the moment. County Magistrate Gu has asked all towns to close their doors tightly. As long as they stay closed, they should be fine to survive today." Yes, you and Duosun quickly clean up and then go to Sister Yan’s house to stay.”

Feng Lexing nodded slightly, and Duosun quickly washed up and got ready.

He asked Ayong to beat the gong and ask villagers from each village to send people to gather at the entrance of the village. He simply explained the reason and asked everyone to hide in the squire's house opposite Wang's house.

Some people agreed and some disagreed. The village chief said angrily: "It doesn't matter, it's hard to predict what will happen if you turn around. Don't say no one will save you."

Zhou Songqing saw that most of the people were unwilling to squeeze into one place, so he asked everyone to stay at home and put the old, weak, Confucian, and children in the house opposite the Wang family.

As for the pharmaceutical factory, Wang Shuyan asked people to work normally, mainly to prevent panic from spreading. Another reason was that the military supplies from the border would be shipped over tomorrow.

"Yan'er, you're going out again." Mrs. Zhang only knew that it was noisy outside, and she couldn't help but feel anxious when she saw that she was about to go out after eating.

Wang Shuyan brought out two horses and gave one to Duan Li.

Duan Li led the horse out.

Yuan Zheng and Er Lang and San Lang were very sensitive and felt a tense atmosphere spreading in the village, but they didn't know the reason.

Wang Shuyan smiled and said, "I'll go out to check the situation and be back soon."

Seeing that she was going out now, Ms. Zhang was a little unhappy and said, "Then you come back early." As her daughter got older, she knew her own ideas, but this was her fault and she couldn't stay at home.

Feng Lexing was not as lively as usual when she came today. She stepped forward and asked, "Sister Yan, can I go back to Wuli Town?"

She was very annoyed when her pedantic and arrogant elder brother came to the village some time ago, but now she is eager to know if he is safe at home.

Wang Shuyan: "It's very messy outside. You'd better not go out. I'll go take a look for you. You can help me arrange the order for Liu Ji's goodies. As long as the immediate matters are taken care of, we will deliver the goods to your door." "

Speaking of this, Wang Shuyan was depressed. Liu Ji had only been open for less than ten days, and the business was good, but it was stuck here.

'Liu Ji Good Things' has reopened ten days ago. The goods sold are all personal items, from 'toilet paper' to 'menstrual belts', or from 'toothbrushes' to 'jade tooth powder', all are customized. Sale.

The early warm-up and hunger marketing were done well, and a thousand copies were booked as soon as it was launched. Fortunately, the money was collected in advance, and it was just a matter of order delivery.

Feng Lexing's thoughts were successfully diverted and he nodded vigorously: "Sister Yan, don't worry, Sister Guihua and I will arrange the order in hand."

Wang Shuyan smiled at Su Guihua and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Sister Guihua."

Wang Shuyan gave Su Guihua and Feng Lexing the order for Liu Ji Haowu, and worked in the Wang family's workshop with several new villagers!

Su Guihua: "Sister Yan, don't worry, I will guard the family and keep an eye on Erling and Sanling Yuanzheng."

……

boom!

The county gate was hit with loud bangs.

Soldiers were banging hard at the eight county gates.

People outside hit it with a big tree root as thick as a person, and there were a lot of wood piled up inside, stuck crosswise.

Zhao Qian shouted: "Pour fuel on the fire."

The first wave of Prince Rong's guards holding shields and ladders climbed up a few steps. The ladder was suddenly pushed away, and then a ladle of hot oil was poured on Prince Rong's guards. The torches in their hands were lit, and Prince Rong's guards rolled down in shock.

Officials in the county building were shot and killed, and some of Prince Rong's bodyguards who were on the bamboo ladder rolled down in waves of hot oil and fire.

boom!

There is a big crack in the county gate, and the wooden bars behind the door have signs of breakage. Every time it is hit, there is a bursting and tearing sound.

Officers and soldiers were evacuating the crowd and calling out all the people who were relatively close to the county gate. The people who were not happy at first were frightened by such a big movement at the county gate and ran out with their families.

Magistrate Gu, who was only watching from a distance in the teahouse, was so shocked that he couldn't sit still: "I'm afraid this door won't be able to withstand it."

Zhao Qian's expression suddenly changed and he ordered: "Send Mr. Gu back to the county office quickly."

boom!

The deafening movement made people panic. Everyone looked at the county gate and saw that it was torn apart!

boom! boom! boom!

The county gate was finally broken!

Seeing that the county gate had opened, Cai Yong flexed his muscles, his eyes boiling with murderous intent. He looked at his dying brother Cai Zhi on the carriage and ordered: "Kill them all for me." (End of Chapter)
