There were not many prisoners in the prison cell of Bazhou. Emperor Zhengde issued an order to pray for the emperor and the emperor to pardon the world for a long time. Now Wang Mantang is the only prisoner in the prison.

In the past two days, the guerrilla general Jiang Bin came to prison every day, saying that he was asking the female prisoner Wang Mantang about the rebellion. At first, the two female prisoners were still with him, but later they felt that the prison was wet and cold, so they hid in the class room and refused to accompany him.

At this moment, Jiang Bin was sitting on a low wooden bed with a big golden sword, pressing his knees with his hands, and sitting upright. Empress Dashun was kneeling between his knees, with her head slightly lowered. Jiang Bin said: "Understanding the emperor is a serious crime of pursuing the nine clans. Zhao Wanxing must have dismembered the five horses. Even you have to light the sky lantern. This general has taken great pains to save you."

"Yes!" Wang Mantang nodded hurriedly, his pink face and peach cheeks full of gratitude.

"The rebels die! No matter how generous the emperor is, he will be sentenced to be exiled. If you are a delicate beauty, you will be punished by others in a bitter and cold place, life will be worse than death. This general has spent a lot of money to manage you."

"Yeah!" Wang Mantang continued to nod.

Jiang Bin stroked her hair and laughed: "After I mediated it from it, the court determined that you were abducted by the rebel Zhao Wanxing to be the wife of the village. In this way, you will be completely relieved of your crime. I guess you will be released in the next two days."

"Yeah yah yah..." Wang Mantang's eyes lit up, and he nodded immediately like a chicken pecking at rice.

Wang Mantang is just a civilian woman. How clever can that little knowledge in the market be? The one who proclaimed king was just to deceive some fools to support their husband and wife, and she had no intention of rebelling. She didn't know that this was a crime of destroying the nine clans. She was frightened by Jiang Bin two days ago, and Wang Mantang was so heartbroken that she was not a woman of Sanzhen and Jiulie. If someone could save her, what would it be like to ask her to serve her?

What's more, Jiang Bin is young and handsome, and she is in a high position, so this woman is even more willing. In order to please Jiang Bin, Wang Mantang used the romantic means of swearing with the young masters of Bazhou. He served Jiang Bin to death. Although this place was a cell, it became a happy paradise where adulterers and tyrants had an affair.

Master Ye was puzzled, but it was just a group of fools. The imperial decree had already been issued. Before Fan Zhizhou released Wang Mantang, it was all because she was the wife of the main culprit. The so-called Empress Di Dashun had not yet publicly sentenced Zhao Wanxing to death and sent the so-called civil and military personnel to the frontier, and released this woman. I am afraid that the people would cause many rumors to spread, and the other family members of the prisoners would also go to her for information, so they were still imprisoned.

People outside the yamen don’t know about this. As a guerrilla general, Jiang Bin couldn’t hear any news. He came to ask about the case, and would he want to make another contribution from this woman?

Master Ye tilted his lips, and he sang disdainfully, and said loudly: "Master Jiang, Master Zhuang, please go to the government office as soon as possible?"

"Ah?" Jiang Bin seemed to have just noticed the person coming, so he quickly changed into a smile and said, "Master Ye, is there anything important to me, sir?"

Master Ye said, "Mr. Jiang, please hurry up. The Gu'an civil war has destroyed the tax collector's office and trapped Eunuch Zhang in Xinzhuang. I'm waiting for you to lead the troops to rescue people."

When Jiang Bin heard this, he was overjoyed and smiled at the ear of his head, "What? Is it true?"

Sure enough, he took action, and his great achievements were at his fingertips. Jiang Bin rubbed his hands excitedly and laughed: "What are you afraid of when a few people are in trouble? I will lead the general to rescue Eunuch Zhang immediately!"

Ye Huai dreamed that he was very happy and was wondering. After hearing this, he explained: It turned out that this general was so happy because he had the opportunity to show something in front of Eunuch Zhang. He said hurriedly: "Yes, sir, magistrate is so anxious that he is in a room. You should hurry up."

Jiang Bin stared at Wang Mantang's pink cheeks with unfulfilled intentions, and laughed: "Don't worry, I will order all my troops to run to Xinzhuang, attack Huanglong, and kill her seven in and seven out..."

The people followed Eunuch Zhang's carriage closely and chased into Xinzhuang. Zhang Zhong ran away all the way, and heard the carport beating endlessly, and every stroke seemed to hit his heart, making him frightened.

It was the sound of an angry people throwing bricks and stones and tiles to hit the ground. Zhang Zhong never thought that the gentle and sheep-like people would have such a fierce moment. Thinking of the bloody scene where Mo Shanjiu and the Gu'an people had a deep grudge against the tax collectors who were dismembered by hoes and shovels, Zhang Zhong was so scared that he caught the two and fought. Until he escaped into Xinzhuang's wealthy gentry and Baojia Xinchenwu Mansion, closed the heavy gate, and the tax collectors climbed up the ladder with their knives and guarded the high wall of 170 to 180 feet, Zhang Zhong's face was still bloodless.

The people surrounded the Xin family courtyard, and the sound of clamoring around was deafening. The gate was photographed to the sky. Seeing this, the owner of Xin was also in panic. The woman and the child cried loudly, and the owner of Xin secretly regretted that he should not have brought this disaster into the door.

He was also obsessed with ghosts for a moment, and he thought that the people were indignant, and it would be difficult to confront the court. Although this local emperor was in a mess today, no one could shake his position. If he saved Zhang Zhong, he would owe him a favor. If he had a relationship with Zhang Pipi, he would have to be in Bazhou and rain.

Unexpectedly, it was already dark and the people still did not retreat. Some people lit bundles of straw and threw them into the yard. The owner of Xin had to command the villagers to keep fighting and putting out the fire. From time to time, bricks were thrown in outside. The smash made people cry and moan. The entire Xin family courtyard was in chaos.

The tax collectors were guarding the gate and the walls of the courtyard. The head of Li Ban of Gu'an County helped the yamen runners guard the second gate. Zhang Zhong avoided the back house where the Xin family's female family lived, and pulled the fat Magistrate Qiao in his left hand. He pulled the confidant butler Han Bing in his right hand and said in panic: "What should we do? What should we do? These unlucky people, these unlucky people, have turned against each other, and all have turned against each other!"

Magistrate Qiao hurriedly comforted him: "Yes, yes, yes, the officials understand."

Han Bing's muscles kept twitching, and he witnessed Mo Danjiu being dismembered by several hoes and the feces forks in an instant, and the strong stimulation of the dismemberment of the feces has not yet calmed down.

Mo Shanjiu is a cruel official in Gu'an, and the people of Gu'an hated him the most. As soon as they rushed into the imperial palace, they saw that Mo Shanjiu beat Hua's official to pieces, and new and old hatreds gathered together. Mo Shanjiu was the brunt of the brunt and was beaten to death. It was Zhang Zhong who took this opportunity to escape.

Han Bing grabbed Magistrate Qiao, and didn't care about his superiors and inferiority. He shouted: "Don't fucking yes. You understand. What do you understand? These mobs are from Gu'an County, you are the magistrate of Gu'an County. You are their parents' officials. You have to find a way! If you can't save Eunuch Zhang, you will chop your head!"

"Yes, yes, Xiaguan Ming..." Qiao Yushu paused and said with a bitter face: "As soon as we entered Xinzhuang, Xiaguan sent someone to ask for help from the magistrate. The two places are not far apart. As long as we guard for a while, Xiaguan probably will arrive for the reinforcements of the magistrate."

When Zhang Zhong heard this, he felt relieved. Fan Moli was his best friend, and he could also be said to be a watchdog driven by Eunuch Zhang. He was usually hypocritical, but in fact he had a red face and a white face, and turned Bazhou into their own country. He needed to rely on the power of Magistrate Fan, and Magistrate Fan had to curry favor with him to consolidate his position. If he heard that something happened to him, Magistrate Fan would definitely send people to help him immediately.

When he heard that the reinforcements were approaching, Zhang Zhong immediately became energetic and regained his domineering expression. He pointed at the tip of the nose of the Mutou magistrate Zhiyushu and shouted: "You are the magistrate of Gu'an. You are not strict in your rule, you are greedy and improper, you are disgraced and incompetent, you are dereliction of duty and inaction. You are the one who caused this riot. You must be fully responsible. Our family will impeach you to Eunuch Liu, dismiss your official position and punish you for your crimes. It is not enough to calm the public's anger if you don't kill you!"

Han Bing interrogated: "Dadfather-in-law, those public angers should be killed!"

Zhang Zhong smiled sinisterly: Those mobs naturally want to kill, but they are not in a hurry. As long as they still guard Bazhou, they have the opportunity to settle the score with them after the autumn, and slowly cut them with a blunt knife, so that they know how powerful they are, but the most urgent thing is to find a scapegoat.

He came from the court and knew what a great thing it was to stir up civil rebellion. The court attached great importance to civil rebellion in the past. Moreover, this place was close to the important place of capital garrison, and was not a place where Sichuan and noble barbarians gathered. It was very safe. If a civil rebellion suddenly occurred, the court would inevitably hold it seriously.

As soon as he heard that he was hopeless to get out of trouble, Zhang Zhong immediately had a bad idea. In his eyes, Magistrate Qiao turned into a bleating sheep. Well... this scapegoat sheep is really fat enough.

Qiao Yushu's fat face turned into an eggplant color. Although he was mediocre and incompetent, he was not stupid. He could not tell such obvious dirty things. There were people in Zhang Zhong's court who really wanted to blame him. Who would protect him? If he was not kind to an official and stirred up civil unrest, he would be charged with his home and beheaded.

Magistrate Qiao was so angry that his eyes turned black and his hands and feet were cold. He wanted to say something to beg, but his fat body was panting like a bellows, but he couldn't say a word. "If I had known this... it would be better for the people to kill this eagle dog." Magistrate Qiao was trembling with fat, and his heart was full of regret.

At this moment, a tax collector ran in excitedly and shouted in anger: "Dadfather-in-law, big things are not going well, no, no, it is good news, good news. The reinforcements from Bazhou have arrived!"

When Zhang Zhong heard this, he bounced off the chair and said excitedly: "The reinforcements have arrived? How many people have arrived? Where have they been?"

The tax collector said, "The little one stood on the gatehouse to resist the enemy. Seeing a string of fire dragons entering the village, some officers and soldiers shouted that the guerrilla general of Bazhou, Lord Jiang, arrived, asking the people to put down their weapons and retreat quickly to the side, but they didn't know how many people were."

Zhang Zhong laughed to the sky. At most, there were only 3,000 people in the riots, and less than half of them were chasing them. There were more than one guerrilla generals under the command of Bazhou, and they were regular troops. When Zhou De'an led this army, he was a brave and good-looking team in the Bazhou garrison. What was it difficult to deal with more than a thousand crops with hoes and wooden sticks?

Zhang Zhongxing said angrily: "Hurry up, help our family out and have a look. Our family must punish these troublemakers with heavy guerrilla warfare!"

Zhang Zhong rushed out with the support of Han Bing and the tax collector. County Magistrate Qiao stood there in a daze: It is of course good news to arrive at the reinforcements, but Zhang Zhong, a bastard, clearly wanted to take over the tank and let him take on this huge responsibility. Dismissal? I'm afraid there will be beheadings. What should I do?

When Magistrate Qiao thought of this, he was so heartbroken that he could not cry. There was no such thing as a helper. Seeing that his elders had never come out, Li Banto rushed in with a few yamen crew members. Magistrate Qiao was so heartbroken that they helped out.

The people of Gu'an chased Zhang Fopi and the tax collectors all the way. After being blocked in Xinjiazhuang for so long, the aura was weakened. Although they were indignant, they had a hasty idea of ​​killing all these unscrupulous tax collectors. After all, they did not have the idea of ​​abandoning their families and creating a rebellion in the court. Seeing a team of strong cavalry officers and soldiers attacking Zhuangzi with murderous aura, the noise of the people suddenly became weak.

The people surrounding the gate couldn't help but retreat to both sides and dodged a road. More than 40 soldiers riding tall horses raised their torches and swept to the door like a gust of wind, shouting as if no one was around: "Master Jiang, Bazhou, was ordered to protect Eunuch Zhang, and open the door quickly!"

A tax collector stood up tremblingly on the ladder behind the door fight, looked out in a trembling voice, and said, "Who is the guerrilla general, Lord Jiang, please... please go forward and answer."

The soldiers held the torch in one hand and the reins in the other, shouting, and the war horses were left and right. A general covered in clothes slowly rushed to the door between the two fire dragons, raised his face slightly, and said in a roar: "I am Jiang Bin, Eunuch Zhang safely?"

The tax collector looked at it. The man was wearing armor, shining by torches, with two long hilts behind his shoulders. The cheeks on the armor covered most of his face, and only a pair of murderous eyes were exposed. The tassels on the helmet were shaking in the night wind. They looked really powerful. I think they were the newly appointed guerrilla general.

The tax collector whispered a few times, and another head appeared on the eaves of the house, pulling the duck's voice and calling out: "Is there a guerrilla general, Lord Jiang? Our family is Zhang Zhong. How many people have you come? Why don't you drive away these... these mobs?"

"Hahaha, it turns out to be Eunuch Zhang." The general immediately bowed and said, "Please forgive me for keeping armor on my body, so I can't give it a full tribute. When the general heard that my father-in-law was attacked, he immediately rushed to rescue him. He was quick to be a good horse and led his personal soldiers to arrive first. The army then arrived. Don't worry, I can rush in among the thousands of Tartars troops and horses and kill him. What's the difficulty to protect my father-in-law's safety?"

He looked around with contempt, and with a whisper, he whispered his sword in his hand, and two cold lights reflected in the night. He smiled coldly: "Dadult, even though he opened the door, the Duke and the Tuan of the Prefect have instructed him not to kill the people. So Mo Jiang did not forcibly expel him, but if Mo Jiang escorted his father-in-law away and there were still people who disturbed him, then kill him without any hesitation!"

Jiang Bin waved his sword and shouted loudly: "Ha! I am a general who is a group of native chickens and dogs. Who is the enemy of a certain family?"

Jiang Bin looked around, and in the cold night, he could only hear torches facing the wind. A general in the middle, with two swords scattered and murderous intent, and there was no sound. Zhang Zhong couldn't help but smile when he saw such a mighty look. He quickly climbed down the ladder and said with a loud voice: "Hurry up, open the door quickly, let Jiang Guerrilla protect our family back to Bazhou City."

Li Banto hurriedly ran up and said with a bitter face: "Brother-in-law, what should we do?"

Zhang Zhong glared at him and said, "You sir? Get back to Gu'an and listen to the ginseng, hum!"

Zhang Zhong shook his sleeves and the door creaked open. He had already run out of the door under the protection of Han Bing's several confidants. Jiang Bin "clicked" and returned the sheath, then bent down and lifted Zhang Zhong to his own right, and said, "I'm sorry for my father-in-law, and I'll ride the same horse with the general. Let's go back to Bazhou City and talk about it."

Zhang Zhong hurriedly said, "Okay! It's okay, the car sedan has been smashed by the rioters, so it's impossible to take advantage of it. General, please protect me back to the city!"

Several other lieutenants also pulled Zhang Zhong and his confidants one by one. At this moment, the crowd shouted: "Friends, Zhang will not let us go after skinning him back to Bazhou. We will definitely lead the army to wash Gu'an. We cannot let him go! If Zhang Zhong is not dead, Bazhou will be uneasy. Kill the old dog, and the world will be peaceful! Kill!"

As he said that, a brick flew out in the darkness, and he beat Jiang Bin's floor hat helmet with a "destiny". Although it was agreed on earlier, Jiang Bin was still shocked: His grandma, Mu Jing, who is looking for a sour scholar? The bricks were thrown out quite accurately. If you don't hit the horse, you will hit Zhang Zhong. If you knock me out, you will not be able to sing the show.

The hat and helmet tilted, and Jiang Bin shouted: "No, I am hit by a hidden weapon. Go away quickly, go away!" After saying that, he shook the reins, and the four hooves of the war horse flew over and fled.

With a clang, everyone looked closely and saw that Jiang Guerrilla had only an iron helmet shaking on the ground where he was originally standing. There was still half a brick not far away, and the general had escaped.

Magistrate Qiao had just walked out of the gate. When he saw that the domineering general had just been hit by a brick, he was frightened to escape like a turtle grandson. He couldn't help but look straight. Seeing that the situation was not good, Li Bantuo hurriedly pulled him and turned around and ran back, shouting, "Hurry up, close the door!"

When the people saw this, they became bolder. Bricks and tiles hit like rain. Dozens of soldiers immediately followed suit and ran away after Jiang Bin. Several tax collectors who had not yet sat firmly screamed and fell off their horses, and were smashed into mud by the people who swarmed up.

While busy covering the door, Magistrate Qiao and several yamen were frightened when they saw this situation. The two doors were not covered for a long time. Fortunately, the sound of "Zhang Zhong is not dead, Bazhou is uneasy, kill the old dog, and the world is peaceful!" was heard everywhere, and these simple-minded people were incited. Only Zhang Baixi and a group of tax collectors were seen, and Qiao County and other people successfully covered the door.

Magistrate Qiao, Li Bantou and others knocked the heavy door bar down. Li Bantou angrily complained: "What a bullshit guerrilla general, it's just a silver-like wax gun head. Damn it, just a good mouth, and when he was scared by a brick, he ran away."

The owner of Xin, who was happy and sent the plague god, was speechless: civil officials were greedy for money, military generals were afraid of death, Bazhou... What kind of officials are they?

Magistrate Qiao ignored them at all. He stuck out his fat butt and lay tightly on the crack of the door like a sow, looking nervously outside. The large group of people outside the door shouted: "Zhang Zhong is not dead, Bazhou is uneasy." While holding up the torch and leaving with Jiang Bin and others, no one looked back at him.

County Magistrate Qiao felt a little relieved: "Many of these people also rode mules, horses and donkeys. The people of Bazhou are good at equestrianism. I hope they can catch up with Zhang Feishai. I can see that if this bastard dies, maybe I will be dismissed from office. If he lives, I will bear all the sins. Amitabha, you bless Eunuch Zhang... He was beaten to death."

Magistrate Qiao rarely prays to gods and worships Buddhas. This time, he cudds the Buddhas for a while and it worked.

He squeezed into the official hat chair, piled up all his fat. His belly was round and he pushed the little bird on his clothes clearly. His family was cleaning up the soft furniture as he ordered. Qiao Yushu looked at it with a frown and sighed reluctantly.

The magistrate convened officials from various counties and towns to discuss matters. He must not be able to escape his own guilt and the officials cannot do it. Let the family clean up the details and pack them back to his hometown. He knew a little about the scandals of officials from various counties and towns. He thought that since Zhang Feixi was dead and threatened with this, the magistrate would not dare to put all the guilt on his land.

Maitreya Qiao sat on the chair like a Buddha, sighing and feeling sad. Li Bantou hurried in and looked at the busy Qiao family in surprise. Then he bowed to Maitreya Qiao and said, "Sir, Lord Hua, please see me."

"Hua Yu?" County Magistrate Qiao raised his head weakly: "Aren't he recuperating at home and waiting to hear the crime? What did he do when he came to see me? Isn't it miserable enough for me to be hurt by him?"

Li Bantou was speechless, and Magistrate Qiao snorted and waved his hand and said, "Call him in."

Li Bantou felt like he was amnesty. He hurriedly retreated. After a while, he saw that the two Ding Yongs were carrying him into the hall. Magistrate Qiao held his stomach with his hands. He didn't stand up to greet him. He just smiled bitterly: "Master Hua, I have studied hard for twenty years in this county and found such a small seventh-rank official. Now... the future of this county is destroyed in your hands."

Hua Tui Guan lay on the wooden board and said dryly: "Mr. County Master, I am also for the local people and the court laws. But... I have implicated you. I am really uneasy. I lay at home and thought for a long time, but thought of a way, which may help you to escape danger. Can you listen to me?"

When Magistrate Qiao heard this, he was immediately excited and jumped up from the chair like a ball, and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, yes, that's natural. I wonder if Lord Hua...uh.... Hurry up, carry Lord Hua to the study in our county. Take tea, hurry up and serve tea!"

Magistrate Fan sat in a daze on the chair and had not spoken for half an hour. Officials from Bazhou and even the counties under his jurisdiction gathered together, and all spoke without saying a word.

Magistrate Qiao was listed, looking around like nothing happened. When the colleagues around him looked at it, they felt angry. In fact, Magistrate Qiao really wanted to show off a sad and sad look to win the sympathy of the officials. It was a pity that there was too much fat on his face. When he nodded and said "Yes, yes, yes", the fat on his cheeks and chin shook, and it looked very sincere. If he wanted to have a sad and angry expression, it would be too difficult, and his eyes were a little distorted, and the fat on his face was still drooping, without any change.

Jiang Bin sat in disappointment on the chair next to Fan Zhizhou, with a wound around his neck, his arms raised, and one leg was pinched. He didn't know how serious it was, but his voice was loud enough, and his voice was shocking the roof.

He was spitting and repeating what Magistrate Fan had heard eight hundred times: "After hearing the commander of the magistrate, the last general ordered three thousand troops and horses and rushed to Xinzhuang. I was anxious and led dozens of personal soldiers to rush into Xinzhuang at lightning. A group of unruly people, no matter how many people there are, he dares to fight against the officers and soldiers?

I remember that at Jimingyi, I led two or three hundred soldiers and resisted the attack of three thousand Tatar cavalry. This is not a prank. Today, Duke Weiguo can testify for this general. Gurulu..."

Jiang Bin grabbed the teapot, took a big mouthful, wiped his mouth and said, "I tell you that the general went to the meeting alone, and really shocked them. Seeing me swaying to pick up Eunuch Zhang out, none of them dared to slut out the ground, but who knew that a silly green suddenly threw a brick and beat the general's helmet to the ground. In this war, the fight was just a momentum. With momentum, the meat dog turned into a tiger dog. Without momentum, thousands of troops were at the slaughter of others.

Don't underestimate this brick, the mobs immediately shouted again, "It's important to protect Eunuch Zhang, right?" I can't tell the difference between them. Can't tell the difference between priorities? Seeing that the situation is not good, I took Eunuch Zhang and ran away.

My grandmother, how could I know that everyone in Bazhou has horses? My horse has just arrived for a long distance and downloaded two more people. Can I escape them? This general is so miserable. Look at my head, my hand, my legs, so... it hurts so much!"

Magistrate Fan laughed dryly and said, "The people in Bazhou have always been fierce, and most of the people are proficient in equestrians and martial arts. Master Jiang is eager to save people. He has entered the enemy group, and Lord Jiang has suffered. Come and help Lord Jiang go back to his house to recuperate and rest."
To be continued...
