Chapter 140: No need to check, call Mu Bin!
Hou Wei looked embarrassed and did not dare to reply. Tan Lu snorted coldly and did not choose to have a fit here.
Currently, Puzhou Station is still surrounded by common people, and there are still a few people inside who are fomenting dissension and stirring up trouble. It is hard to say whether the common people will do anything extreme.
"Everyone, follow me."
Tin Lu and Hou Wei got on their horses, and the rest of the people followed behind and ran towards the inn.
"Get out!"
"Get out!"
"Get out of Puzhou!"
"..."
Qin Lu mobilizes troops When we arrived outside the inn, we heard noisy shouting from a long distance away.
The common people still did not give up. Under the instigation of thoughtful people, they chanted unified slogans.
Qin Lu originally only wanted to use the soldiers from the guard station to control the situation first, and then evacuate the people who were surrounding the station.
Qin Lu also saw that these people were incited and did not really want to cause trouble.
But what Qin Lu didn't expect was that Hou Wei, who had been by his side and had behaved very mediocrely before, now took the lead and behaved extremely actively.
“Bold and unruly! How dare you besiege the official who came from the imperial court!”
"Soldiers, follow me to drive away these unruly people and rescue the adults from the court!"
Hou Wei stared at his eyes, shouted, waved his whip and rushed forward.
Seeing Hou Wei being so reckless, Qin Lu's face changed drastically, and he shouted sternly: "Idiot, come back!"
But Hou Wei didn't know if he heard Qin Lu's shout, and still waved his hand. The cold knife rushed towards the people in front.
The soldiers of the Hou family who were mixed in with the soldiers saw this scene and immediately shouted: "Charge! Everyone, rush forward!"
"Charge, General Suihou, kill! Kill!"
"Charge! Kill all those unruly people!"
"..."
Unsure of why When the military soldiers heard the shouts around them, they panicked and blindly followed the large troops and rushed forward.
So, in the eyes of the people outside the post station, what they saw was Qianhu Houwei of Puzhou Guards Station, rushing towards them with countless troops behind him.
These common people were timid to begin with. When they saw a large group of soldiers rushing toward them, they immediately ran in all directions in a panic.
"Ahhhhh!!! Killer! Run!"
"Don't kill me! Don't kill me! I didn't want to come, they forced me to come! "
"Don't kill me! I don't dare anymore, never again!"
"..."
The originally tense situation seemed to be suddenly broken by Hou Wei.
The siege of Wang Yan and Yang Jizong's post station was easily lifted.
All the officials living in the inn breathed a sigh of relief and praised Howei with smiles on their faces.
“General Hou Wei is indeed unparalleled in his power and is worthy of this word of authority.”
“Thank you, General Hou Wei, for coming to rescue the siege. General Hou Wei’s kindness will be unforgettable. ”
"General Hou Wei's rescue operation today, I will definitely write it in the memorial and take credit for the general in front of His Majesty!"
"..."
Even Tan who was following behind Lu, after seeing this, also frowned in confusion.
"Could it be that... he is really a genius in the art of war?"
Because he knew the virtues of these people, he took a straightforward approach, cut through the mess quickly, and simply and roughly surrounded the inn. Lifted?
Hou Wei, who was accepting congratulations from the crowd, his eyes almost popped out when he saw the people scattering in a hurry. He was extremely anxious and a little panicked.
He also didn’t expect that the people were so timid. Didn’t they agree to fight a big war and then pretend to be defeated?
Why did the people just run away without even starting a fight?
How could he be defeated like this? !
Hou Wei was anxious and angry, listening to the inn officials praising him and claiming credit for him in front of His Majesty.
He blushed and stumbled in response: "Many... thank you all for the compliments... this is just a humble duty... a matter of duty..."
Hou Wei was so flustered that he wished he could cry to God. He shouted, telling these people to stop and fight him for three hundred rounds.
Fortunately, although Hou Wei messed up the matter, his soldiers made it right.
After the people fled in all directions, Hou Wei's soldiers did not stop their pursuit, but pursued them faster.
“Difficult people! Where to run!”
"You are so bold and unruly! You dare to surround the Imperial Envoy. I think you are going to die!"
"Don't leave, you unreasonable person! Take your life!"
"..."
< br>The soldiers quickly caught up with the people who were running slowly. After a fight in the darkness, the soldiers screamed in pain.
"Ah! Ah! Stop fighting!"
"Stop! If you don't stop, you're going to kill someone!"
"Stop fighting! Can't you stop chasing me?!"
"..."
A soldier jumped out of the darkness and ran towards the inn.
“Huh?”
The people lying on the ground looked at their fists and blinked.
Could it be that... I am really a martial arts wizard?
The defeat of the guards' soldiers was not an isolated case, but a universal one.
As if there was a chain reaction, the cries of pain from the guardsmen came from all directions.
Then the guards soldiers who were chasing forward turned around and ran back.
"He's been beaten to death! He's been beaten to death! Run! Brothers, run!"
"Run! Run! Everyone, run back!"
"Hurry! Stop chasing! People are being killed in front of you, do you want your life? ""..." The soldiers shouted as they ran. At the same time, he persuaded the military soldiers around him who didn't understand the situation at all to run back quickly.
In the darkness, no one knew what was going on around them, and could only rely on the sounds coming from around them to judge.
All of a sudden, the lineup at the guard station was in chaos. Some were running forward and some were running backward. It was extremely chaotic.
At this time, the cronies of the Wang family and Zhang family saw that the guardsmen were proceeding according to the plan, so they also sang along.
"The guards have been defeated! Don't be afraid, follow me to fight back!"
"Now is a good opportunity to drive them out of Puzhou, everyone rush!"
"Charge! Charge! Charge! My fellow villagers, success or failure depends on this!"
"..."
The guards' soldiers and the cronies of the Zhang and Wang families used public opinion to sway the people. And the military household soldiers are fooled in the palm of their hands.
Under their guidance, the whole scene seemed very messy and absurd, even a little funny.
The situation was good one moment, but reversed the next moment, and those timid people gained the upper hand.
Originally, those military household soldiers were no different from other common people.
Same timid, and also without any fighting ability.
No deliberate arrangements were needed, but under the leadership of others, the guardsmen showed a tendency to retreat.
The military household soldiers turned around one after another and ran away with their heads in their hands.
And those common people, led by the cronies of the Wang and Zhang families, have already begun to counterattack.
A large number of soldiers came to Hou Wei and urged Hou Wei, Wang Yan, Yang Jizong and others to retreat immediately.
"General Hou, retreat quickly! Those unruly people are too powerful, we can't defeat them."
"General Hou, gentlemen, retreat quickly, the soldiers will be unable to withstand it! "
"My lords, don't hesitate! If you don't leave, you won't be able to leave!"
"..."
"Ah? This..."
The officials living in the inn, who had just calmed down a little, became panicked again.
And the emotions of panic and fear are even stronger than before.
They looked at Yang Jizong subconsciously, with a desire to leave this place of right and wrong quickly, hoping that Yang Jizong would order the evacuation of the inn.
When Hou Wei saw that the situation was developing as planned, he was so happy.
But in front of him, he pretended to be anxious.
"Master Wang, Master Yang, you have also seen this situation. There is really no other way!"
"How about... let's retreat temporarily?"
Wang Yan looked at Yang Jizong silently. Yang Jizong pondered for a while with a livid face, then looked at Qin Lu.
“Tan Tantou, what do you think?”
Tan Lu's face was as dark as ink. Although he didn't know what happened between the guard soldiers and the people.
But he is sure that someone is deliberately guiding the current situation behind the scenes!
Qin Lu turned his head and glared at Hou Wei coldly. Hou Wei felt weak and turned his head slightly, not daring to look at Qin Lu.
Qin Lu took a deep breath and reluctantly ordered: "Retreat to Pingyang Mansion first. This matter is important. I will report to His Majesty for your decision."
Great, it is an order to retreat. We are saved. !
The officials living in the inn were relieved in their hearts, but they didn't show it at all on their faces.
Since Tan and Lu agreed to withdraw from Puzhou for the time being, the others naturally had no objections and immediately left Puzhou overnight and returned to Pingyang Mansion.
When they left Puzhou, the people behind them cheered warmly!
That night, a secret letter from Xichang was quickly sent back to the capital through Xichang’s intelligence network.
Puzhou, a civil uprising has occurred!
...
The next day
The Forbidden City.
Qianqing Palace.
Pingyang Mansion is not very far from the capital. After a day of hard work, Xichang’s secret message has been delivered to Zhu Youtang.
Qin Lu recorded everything they encountered after entering Puzhou in Beijing in detail.
Especially in the part where the people surrounded the imperial envoy, he also gave some of his own judgments.
After reading the secret letter, Zhu Youtang looked at Wang Zhi in front of him calmly.
"Puzhou Civil Uprising...what do you think about this matter?"
"My opinion is the same as that of Qin Lu, whether it is the people who surrounded the post station or the guards who went to rescue Soldiers are all abnormal.”
"Behind this, there must be someone secretly manipulating public opinion."
Zhu Youtang threw the secret letter back to the Long Case: "Yes, I think so too."
If Pu said The prefecture civil uprising was organized voluntarily by the people of Puzhou, and Zhu Youtang absolutely did not believe it.
The common people only do two things in making troubles, civil commotions, and uprisings, which is to fight against local tyrants and divide their fields.
A civil uprising broke out in Puzhou. Instead of attacking the local gentry and landlords, the people surrounded the inn where the imperial envoys lived.
There must be a problem in this!
Wang Zhi handed over his hand and asked for orders: "Your Majesty, Xichang please investigate Puzhou and thoroughly investigate this matter!"
Zhu Youtang smiled softly: "No need to investigate, this matter After something happens, whoever benefits the most is the one who did it. "
"Who is the largest landowner in Puzhou?"
Wang Zhi immediately replied: "It's the Wang family and the Zhang family. Both of them relied on Kaizhong during the Hongwu period. A great Shanxi businessman who started his career in France.”
Zhu Youtang nodded: "I understand, let Mou Bin come and see me."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
