Number of People

  Chapter 13 A character scroll is desperate

   At the same time, the man surnamed Xue and the servant were also sighing in another room.

"Second Master, who would have thought that this kind of thing would happen in broad daylight in Linqing City? I'm afraid Songjiang and Ningbo, which were trampled by Japanese pirates, are not so dangerous, right? I heard that the Japanese pirates are not as powerful as they were a few years ago, but There are still boats that are often plundered in the open sea. After all, it is better for us in Jinling. If the uncle is still there,..."

  The servant is obviously a bit of a tongue-twister. He was too scared to make a sound under Feng You's blade before, but now that the danger is gone, he can't stop talking.

  The man surnamed Xue looked a little sad. If his elder brother was still there, how could the Xue family have fallen to such a state?

The business in Jiangnan was also in trouble. The partners who had cooperated for many years had two hearts after his brother passed away. In the past few years, many businesses that should have belonged to the Xue family have been swallowed up. I can only swallow my breath.

  If that wasn't the case, why did I have to work so hard to come to the North to find another way to make a living?

  Thinking of the Xue family, Xue Jun felt a little bitter.

Elder brother's son-in-law is incompetent, and he has been stubborn since childhood. If his father and elder brother hadn't had a solid foundation when they were around, they would have been defeated in the past few years. He is going to take his family to Beijing to find some connections with his natal family and in-laws Jia's family, to see if they can maintain the livelihood of the eldest family.

  My son and daughter are smart and quick-witted, but in the past few years, Xue Jun shook his head thinking of this.

   Originally thought that Shandong had always been a rich and prosperous place in the north, and Linqing, Dezhou, and Jining had always been the hubs of the canal, where people converged and connected. In the past few days, it has been seen that there are indeed some livelihoods in Linqing City.

  Like the money bank and **** shop, the Xue family has been doing it for a long time in the south of the Yangtze River. Although there are many silk shops here, Xue Jun thinks there is a chance.

   I just didn't expect that the tax supervisor would be so powerful, and his relentless demands would cause such a big disturbance.

  *******

  Feng Ziying was a little anxious.

  Feng You and Feng You have been out for an hour and still haven't come back.

  He stood on the rockery on the side of the atrium and looked out. In addition to the fireworks in the southwest corner, there were also shouts and killings in the direction of Dongshuimen in the southeast corner, which made people panic.

  In such a chaotic situation, even if you have the ability to do it every day, it will be difficult for you to do anything. When you face the sword with a three-inch tongue, I am afraid that people will let you see blood and seal your throat without giving you a chance.

  If I had known it would have been better to leave one day earlier, I would never encounter such a mess again, and I would go back to the capital and continue to hide in the Imperial College to pretend to see if I could make a name for myself, no matter what, my life is safe.

  The door was finally knocked hastily. Feng Ziying gritted her teeth and hid behind the door, waving her hand.

  The master and servant surnamed Xue also held two hardwood gates with a look of lovelessness on their faces, while Jia Yucun also held a brocade stool with a cold face, but his whole body was shaking like chaff.

   This is what Feng Ziying forced the three of them to do. If there were bandits knocking on the door and there were too many people, let it go. If there were few people, then find a way to kill each other.

  Master and servant surnamed Xue and Jia Yucun were unwilling before, but after Feng Ziying's cold analysis, they could only accept this arrangement.

   Fortunately, after Fu Bo asked hoarsely, it was Feng You's voice, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

  Feng You quickly entered the door sideways, but the black and thin boy who followed was full of rebellion.

  Feng Ziying glanced at it and knew that they might not be clean when they went out this time. Looking at Feng You's right leg, knee trousers, there was an obvious tear.

   "Uncle You, how are you?" Feng Ziying asked anxiously, and the eyes of the others also fell on Feng You who seemed to be a little uncertain.

  Feng You looked very calm, brushed off the plaster on his right arm, raised his eyebrows: "I can't get out."

   "Ah?!" Several people said in unison, but Feng Ziying was already mentally prepared: "The bandits have entered the city?"

"Well, I met people from the Liang Gang on Gulou East Street, and they were besieged at Dongshuimen. If they didn't rely on a few boats to meet them, I'm afraid that dozens of people from the Liang Gang would have to leave. "Feng You narrowed his eyes slightly, and the corners of his eyes twitched even more. This is his expression under nervous conditions. He shook his head: "The guards of the Liang Gang can fight, but there are too few people. Don't dare to fight."

   "Then can't you do it elsewhere?" Feng Ziying knew that this sentence was superfluous, but still asked a bit unwillingly.

  If you can't get out of the city, then staying here is just waiting to die, and this life can only depend on the face of others.

   "There is no one on the Yudai Bridge, but there are bandits on the south and east sides of the bridge, and they can't get through at all, and they are all blocked."

  The black and thin boy interjected, but he didn't show much fear, and he didn't know whether it didn't matter if he died, or he felt that he was not ranked.

   A bunch of people are helpless and don't know how to deal with it.

Xue Jun's master and servant are wandering outside and have a lot of experience, but at most they just encounter tax collectors or officials extorting some money. Occasionally encounter bandits, as long as they offer money, they can save their lives, but on such a scale as today The civil unrest was really not caught.

  As for the three of Jia Yucun, their minds were completely blank, and the woman had already hugged the little girl and wiped away her tears, but seeing Feng You's face covered with frost, she dared not cry out.

  If what Feng You said is true, that is to say, there are Bailian sect bandits among these rioters, then this civil disturbance is not a simple civil disturbance.

  As long as any civil unrest is mixed with such religious bandits, it will never be easily quelled, and the combat effectiveness of the rioters surrounded by religious fanaticism cannot be simply judged by ordinary mobs.

  It's pointless to think so much, what should I do now?

  Feng Ziying's little head, less than twelve years old, also began to spin rapidly.

  The few people present were obviously unreliable masters, and they probably had never encountered such a thing. In fact, Feng Ziying had never encountered it either.

Feng You is used to fighting in the border village, and he is not afraid of this kind of swordsmanship. The problem is that if he wants to escape alone, he has a chance. superior.

  Feng You is good at fighting, but he is also helpless in the face of these thousands of bandits alone.

  Feng Ziying never pinned her hopes on others, and now she has no one to rely on.

  Whether it is the mob or the rioters, thousands of them have already entered the city, so it is impossible to escape on the street like just now.

   It is estimated that the streets and alleys will be tossed by bandits soon. If there is no accident, the Feng's mansion will definitely be ransacked like a storm.

   At that time, this group of people is afraid that no one will be able to escape.

"Brother Keng, we have to make a decision early. The bandits we encountered are only two or three miles away from here. Within half an hour at the latest, I guess those bandits will spread to our side..." Feng You hesitated After a while, he didn't say any more, but the other people understood the implication.

  The merchant surnamed Xue and Jia Yucun both looked pale. Of course they knew what Feng You meant. What they didn’t say probably meant that they would fly separately when the disaster came. The question is how to fly? I'm afraid that if you go out and meet the bandits, you will die, and if you stay here, you may be able to survive for a while.

  Feng Ziying also understood what Feng You meant. He wanted to save himself and rush out, thinking that staying in this mansion would only lead to death.

"Mr. Feng, my son-in-law is the only daughter of Lord Lin, the censor of Yanzhou in Yangzhou. This time, I was ordered by Lord Lin to send her daughter to her uncle's house. Her uncle is the second son of Duke Rong and Duke Ning. As the first-rank Shenwei general of the dynasty, and another member of the Ministry of Industry, Uiro,..."

   "Mr. Feng, I am Xue Jun from the Xue family of Jinling, and my sister-in-law is the younger sister of the prince of the current Jingying Jiedushi..."

  Jia Yucun and Xue Jun couldn't hold back anymore. If Feng You really wanted to take people away and leave them here, then they would have no choice but to catch them blind and wait to die.
