There is no curfew in Runzhou City. After the night market is opened, it is even more lively than during the day.
Every night, all kinds of peddlers and pawns will fill the entire streets, especially on the main street, where pedestrians are shoulder to shoulder and crowded.
However, tonight, there was no figure on the main street of Runzhou.
The government had sent officials to clean the streets a quarter of an hour ago. The reason given was that an assassin broke into the post station and assassinated the important officials of the Ministry of Personnel from Beijing. In order to arrest the assassin and idle people, it was prohibited to stay on the street.
Assassination of a Beijing official is a serious crime. No one is willing to fight against the government in this matter. In less than a quarter of an hour, there were no figures on the main street.
However, when everyone was hiding at home and secretly looking into the street, they did not find any official searching for the assassin. The street was empty and there was nothing
Just when they were confused, they felt the ground under their feet vibrate
Through the cracks of the door and windows, you can see a group of fully armed soldiers passing by the street.
What's going on? I caught an assassin and even used the city defense force?
Judging from their appearance, they don't seem to be catching assassins...
Did something big happen in the city tonight?
……
Everyone in Runzhou City was shocked and suspicious. The Three Thousand City Defense Forces had already surrounded a deep house in the city from four directions.
Xiao Mansion
After being toasted by everyone in turn, the Prince of Qian was already a little drunk. He put down his wine glass for the last time, looked at the old man beside him, and asked: Is it almost time?
The old man calculated the time and nodded: It should be almost done.
The Prince of Qian stood up, bowed to the four heads of the family, and said: This prince is a little overwhelmed, so he lost his companion first, everyone will continue...
Several people bowed and said: Prince, walk slowly...
The Prince of Qian walked out of the hall on his face, stopped, and a smile appeared on his face
Tonight's banquet is not to celebrate in advance. There is only one purpose tonight, which is to completely control these big merchants with the help of inaccurate insect eggs to avoid his worries about occupying Jiangnan.
Only then did he make all the preparations before the
Tomorrow night is the time to get up, and tonight is naturally a good day. If nothing unexpected happens, the so-called No. 1 Beauty is now lying on the bed, waiting for him to give it to you.
The smile on the corner of the Prince of Qian's mouth spread. When he walked down the steps, he suddenly seemed to have discovered something. He looked up suddenly and looked at the sky ahead.
I saw a red light suddenly lit up outside the Xiao Mansion, and the red light flashed constantly. There should be many torches moving there.
The next moment, someone rushed in from outside and said in panic: Prince, it’s not good, the city defense army surrounded Xiao’s mansion...
What! The face of the Prince of Qian changed drastically, and an extremely incredible expression appeared on his face
Tomorrow is the time for rebellion, but something like this happened today. The city defense army surrounded Xiao Mansion. It would definitely not be a good thing. He was angry and anxious, and his face was extremely ferocious.
Almost in an instant, Bai Jin and others rushed out of the hall. An old man looked ahead with an angry expression and said sternly: Could it be that someone had leaked the news?
After the words came to his eyes, he immediately looked at the four masters in the hall.
Although there are many guests in Xiao Mansion tonight, only these four masters who really know their actions are
Another middle-aged man looked outside and immediately said: It’s too late, find a direction to break through immediately!
Bai Jin looked outside, and was not panicked, and said: Xiao Mansion has been surrounded, there is a risk of breaking through, come with me
After she said that, she quickly walked into the depths of Xiao Mansion. Everyone looked at her, hesitated for a moment, but followed her
In the Xiao Mansion, Bai Jin pushed open a rockery in the garden, revealing a large hole under the rockery, and said: From here you can lead to the outside of the Xiao Mansion. After leaving the Xiao Mansion, go to the East City Gate immediately!
The Prince of Qian was shocked and said: When did there be a secret passage here?
When I was building the Xiao Mansion, I asked someone to build a piece just in case. Bai Jin glanced at him and said: It's too late to explain, let's go!
Prince Qian stood outside the cave, looked back at the front, with a look of unwillingness on his face
The old man looked at the Prince of Qian and said: Runzhou crashes, Taizhou, Yuezhou and other places. As long as we escape, we still have a chance!
What a pity... The Prince of Qian clenched his fists, looked at the yard where Su Mèi was unwillingly, and finally jumped down the big hole under the rockery
At this time, there was already a mess in Xiao’s house.
The gentry and tycoon present, including the four major families, were surrounded by a group of people, with a very frightened expression.
Su Zhe, the head of the Su family, had long been less calm than before. He stood in front and looked at the city defense force and said in shock: What are you doing!
Shut up first, collude with thieves, and then calculate with you later! Liu Tong glanced at him, waved his hand, and said: Tie them all, don’t let any of them go!
Hearing the four words "Collecting a Rebel", the three masters' bodies trembled and their faces turned pale.
The head of the Song family fell on the steps, his face pale, and said sadly: It's over, the Song family is over...
Although Su Zhe and the head of the Shen family barely stood up, the despair in their hearts was no less than that of him.
Rebellion is a major crime to kill the nine clans. Whether it is the main culprit, the four major families or the five wealthy families, as long as it is related to the word rebellion, the head of the family will be ruined for a hundred years...
Among the four, only the head of the Bai family was the most indifferent
But in the eyes of the other three, this indifference seemed to be so frightened...
……
Tang Ning stood outside the Xiao Mansion, and Chen Zhou quickly ran out and said: Lord, Su, Bai, Chen, the heads of the four major families of Song, as well as many wealthy merchants in Runzhou, have all taken down. The Prince of Qian and others escaped from the secret passage, probably heading towards the east gate...
Tang Ning didn't know if there was a secret passage in Xiao's mansion, but he also made preparations in advance. The four gates of Runzhou have been closed now, so they can't escape.
Chasing him gave him an order, and said: Tell those generals that the most beautiful girl among the fugitives is our undercover agent, so that they will not hurt her...
Chen Zhou bowed and said: I understand!
At this time, there was already a crying sound in the Xiao Mansion.
All the gentry and tycoons who arrived tonight were taken down, and all the servants of Xiao's mansion who had no time to escape were arrested.
The city defense forces left behind were inspecting the yard one by one. Su Mèi walked out of the room in a certain courtyard. More than ten people in the yard raised their bows and arrows to her and shouted: The thief has been defeated and fled, so why not surrender quickly!
Let it go! Liu Tong walked in from outside the courtyard, glared at the people, and said: This is his own person, put down your weapons!
More than ten people were stunned when they heard this, and put down their weapons.
Liu Tong walked forward, looked at Su Mèi, and did not dare to look again. He lowered his head and asked: Didn’t you scare the girl?
Su Mèi looked at him and asked: Where is your lord?
Liu Tongdao: I went to chase those thieves, and the adults thought the girl was leaving with them too...
