Chapter 71 Sparks start a prairie fire (1)

When the escort officer looked at it again, there were already people rushing down in the deep forest. Fang Jie was the leader, holding a Fang Tian Hua Ji and jumping straight towards him.

The distance between the two sides was about a hundred steps away, which was enough for the officials to line up. Under the shouts of the escort officers, the officials began to move.

"Kill these dog officials!"

A Manichae tribe hidden in the civil servant shouted, threw down the food truck, and ran towards the government troops beside him, disrupting their deployment.

The rest of the Manichaeans who were hidden among the people also began to riot, and they threw down the grain trucks, picked up stones, grabbed the soil and smashed them at the government army, or picked up the shoulder poles not on the grain trucks to fight with the government army. The rest of the people were led by the Manichaeans and shared the same hatred against the enemy.

Because the team was long snake-shaped, the officials and soldiers behind were unknown to the situation and were stopped by the rioters, holding up swords and guns and dared not move. Most of these officials and soldiers were wine bags, and they could bully the civilians in normal times, but when there was an emergency, no one dared to move forward first.

When the rear was in a stalemate, the frontal army had already fallen into a tough battle. Only more than 200 officers formed formations when the Manichaeans rushed down. Under Fang Jie's leadership, they broke through the vulnerable defense line of the officers in one encounter.

The Manichaeisms of Master Lu were all elites, with the most devout faith, and were always ready to sacrifice their lives for the Manichaeism cause. During the battle, he had red eyes, scrambled to the forefront, and regarded life and death as nothing. Once he approached the enemy, his moves were fierce moves that exchanged life for life.

These officials in charge of transporting grain have been peaceful for a long time. They usually fight with bandits at most. They have never seen such a scene. They are immediately scared and become more and more timid as they fight. Some of them turn their heads and run...

The escort officer had long known that something was wrong. When he was calling on the official army to form a formation to meet the enemy, he rode the only horse in the team and fled.

The adjutant was holding a long sword to resist the attack of the Manichae church. When he turned his head, he found that the escort officer had left the team and ignored it. He was so angry that he beat his chest and stamped his feet. When he turned around, Fang Jie had noticed him and rushed towards him.

After a few breaths, the Fangtian Huaji hit him down. He hurriedly held the sword and blocked it horizontally. With a "pong" sound, it barely resisted the force coming from the Huaji. Just as he was secretly relieved, Huaji suddenly swept down the sword blade towards his arm. He was anxious for a moment and directly relaxed his hand holding the sword.

But the visitor seemed to have guessed his movements. Before he let go, he suddenly stabbed him in the chest and stabbed him backwards.

When he landed, the adjutant's breathing became heavy and his consciousness was not much left. He knew that he was on the verge of death, but he still opened his eyes hard, trying to take a look at the world that he nostalgic. However, what caught his eye was: a person with a cold expression but glittering eyes stood in front of him, grinned, and waved at his neck with a knife.

With the help of the civilians, the situation on the battlefield took a sharp turn. More than 500 government troops ran away, and the rest died at the hands of the Manichaeans.

On the other side, the escort officer who was riding a horse and fleeing saw no one chasing him. When he was very glad, a figure fell from the sky and punched him on the shoulder. After rolling on the ground for several rounds, he fainted.

Xu Ziling, who was walking over, tied him up, placed him horizontally on the horse's back, and walked towards Fang Jie and others.

By the time he returned to Fang Jie, the Manichaeans had already begun to clean the battlefield and distribute the weapons of the official army to the people.

In the middle of the crowd, a Manichae church was preaching.

"The officials were originally appointed by the court to raise the people, but they levyed and colluded with the wealthy businessmen, plundered and extorted the people and took advantage of the plunder and plunder. The taxes were so heavy that the people worked hard all year round, and they could only get some surplus grain, cloth and other things, but they were still plundered and searched by officials."

"The heavy taxes are unbearable, but labor is not too much compared to it. As for food transportation, the government forced everyone to assist in transportation, and it would be fine if it was not paid. But along the way, the government army beat and scolded and even withheld food. What is this?

As the villagers listened, they were also excited and cursed the court and the officials...

"You are involved in the interception and killing of the official army that transported grain. After you go back, you may be punished for death. Now the Shenggong in Muzhou has revolted, and more than 5,000 official troops have been killed in Qingxi County. Why don't we respond to the uprising, kill all the corrupt officials in the surrounding county towns, and let the suffering people join us and overthrow this shitty court together."

The civilians had long been infected by Manichaeism. When they reached this point of indulgence, their anger and resentment towards the court accumulated over the years suddenly erupted, and they shouted with red eyes: "Suppose the court! Kill corrupt officials!"

"Overturn the court! Kill corrupt officials!"

"Overturn the court! Kill corrupt officials!"

"Overturn the court! Kill corrupt officials!"

......

There were roars one after another, although they were not very neat, but they were full of anger.

When Xu Ziling came over, a roar was ringing. A Manichae disciple saw the escort officer he captured and said happily: "Enter Xu, leave him to me for handling."

Xu Ziling didn't think much, nodded, handed the reins to the Manichae disciple, jumped off the horse, and went to search for Fang Jie.

When they arrived by Fang Jie's side, the voices in the crowd also lowered, and the Manichaeus in the center began a new speech.

Xu Ziling looked at Fang Jie who had been watching coldly and asked, "Why didn't you talk about it? Isn't this the most noble status here?"

Fang Jie glanced at him and shook his head gently: "I have never been good at this kind of demagoguery."

"Yes, you are just a rough person, and you are so straightforward. How can you do these things?" Xu Ziling smiled, "But Sister Baihua doesn't seem to be good at it either."

Fang Jie explained: "Hundred Flowers are in love..., my sister-in-law is in charge of the outside world, and the Lord Yang is in charge of the overall situation. My sister-in-law is second only to the Lord. She also has the power to manage the missionary affairs, but when it comes to execution, it is mainly the Deputy Master Yang, Bai Mei, and Lu Master-nang who are doing it."

Xu Ziling suddenly said, "So that's it. Sister Baihua is a character similar to the boss behind the scenes. Just issue orders and let the people below execute them."

Fang Jie was stunned for a moment and said, "You can think so."

As they were chatting, a noisy sound suddenly came from the crowd. Xu Ziling looked up and saw that the escort officer was tied up and pulled to the temporary platform.

When he saw that it was the escort officer, the civil servant standing next to him cursed a few times, opened his mouth, and spitted on his face with a mouthful of phlegm. The other civil servants who saw him also began to insult and mocked him.

"What should this person do?" asked the Manichaeus.

The civilians were silent for a while and said in unison: "Kill! Kill! Kill!"

In the escort's horror and despair expression, the Manichaeus next to him stabbed his belly with a knife, then turned the blade and stirred his intestines to pieces. He suffered from heartbreak pain and slowly died.

When Xu Ziling saw this scene, she frowned and said, "Is this too cruel? Why don't you give him some fun?"

Fang Jie said lightly: "You have not been oppressed by officials, so of course you cannot understand their hatred for him. You might as well look at their expressions."

Xu Ziling looked at it, and sure enough, the civilians looked happy and excited.

However, will such bloody and cruel revenge breed any different emotions in the hearts of these civilians?

After burying the fallen civilians and the Manichaeans, a Manichaean came to Fang Jie and asked, "Enter Fang, the brothers have already cleaned up, where should we go next?"

Xu Ziling looked at the corpses of the officials on the ground and said, "Why don't you deal with the corpses of those officials?"

The Manichaeans replied indignantly: "If these dog officials help officials to bully the people, they should expose their bodies and turn into lonely ghosts and never be reborn."

"Get them together and burn them together," Xu Ziling looked at him and sighed. "Let it be a disaster if it causes a plague."

A trace of displeasure flashed in the eyes of the Manichae church. He turned to look at Fang Jie, and nodded when he saw him, and said in a deep voice: "Okay, just do what Special Envoy Xu said."

After a long time, the Manichaeus came to Fang Jie again and said, "Enter Fang, the body has been dealt with."

Fang Jie looked at Xu Ziling: "Take Datian County?"

Xu Ziling looked at the sky, and when it was approaching evening, he nodded and said, "It's still a while before dark, and he just happened to take Datian County to rest for one night."

Seeing that the two agreed, the Manichaeists turned around and ordered the army to prepare for action.

Seeing that the Manichaeans were the ones who were passing the orders repeatedly, Xu Ziling asked Fang Jie: "What position is that person? Why are he who is passing the orders?"

Seeing his somewhat suspicious look, Fang Jie smiled and said, "His name is Liu Ying, he is Lu Shinnang's confidant, and there is no doubt about his loyalty."

Xu Ziling shook his head. He didn't doubt his loyalty, but from his cold eyes, it could be seen that he was quite prejudiced to him.

...

Datian County is said to be a county town, but it is actually just a huge village.

The earthen walls of one meter high surrounded about 600 families, and the houses were uneven. The total number of county soldiers in the county central government office was less than 200.

After Fang Jie led a large army to surround Datian County, the county magistrate heard that it was a rebel army that responded to Fang La, and did not dare to resist. He hurriedly asked the servants to take the money, cloth and other valuable items from the government office to welcome him.

After seeing this, Fang Jie laughed and said, "Can the county magistrate know why we are uprising?"

The county magistrate smiled flatteringly and said, "Of course, the sage is highly respected and has unparalleled benevolence and righteousness. All the heroes are determined to follow."

The county magistrate recently heard rumors about Fang La's uprising, but he didn't know the fundamental reason for his uprising. He thought that as long as he gave enough money and said some good things, he should avoid disaster.

But Fang Jie sneered: "It is because the dog official like you who relies on his official position to exploit the people. The Holy Lord cannot bear to suffer for a long time, so he revolts uprising and wants to overthrow this court that uses all the treacherous and flattering ministers and does not know the sufferings of the people. Do you understand?"

As the county magistrate listened, his face turned pale and his whole body was trembling, "I know, I know, please... um."

Before the county magistrate finished speaking, the Manichae church members on the side did the same thing and stabbed him through the stomach with one knife, leaving him open his mouth and unable to speak anymore.

Xu Ziling looked at the Manichae community suddenly taking action, and it was Liu Ying.
