Scroll A, Chapter 16: The Crowd

"Boom!" came out, and the half-open door was suddenly knocked open.

A group of people rushed in, brandishing bamboo spears and hatchets, and immediately saw the man in green lying in bloody flesh under the threshold. He had been slashed twice on the face. The brutal wounds made people dare not look straight.

See.

"what happened?"

"silver!"

One ingot of five taels of Yuanbao scattered under the stone steps was suddenly discovered by the person who grabbed it first. A hungry tiger rushed to grab the food and held it in his arms before the other partner who rushed in quickly.

"I found it first, Hu Er, take it out quickly!"

"Whoever sees it belongs to whom? You can see everything on the Yongqing Gate, it's all yours? Why don't you hug it?" The man who fell to the ground stood up and held the silver in his hands cherishingly.

He turned sideways and bit it with his teeth, then carefully put it into his arms, "You can if you want, give me two pieces of silk and satin on your back, and this ingot of silver will be yours!"

"Hu Er, you are dreaming about Qingqiu!" The man's eyes were almost red. He knew that the other man had been plotting the pieces of silk on his back, but he had to take a knife to get out of that man.

One piece taken from the hands of the silk and satin shop guards was worth more than ten taels of silver. How could it be shared with others?

"Humph, Zhao Cangsong, you don't know who is dreaming? If you have the ability, go find it yourself and don't go crazy in front of me!"

Pushing the opponent away, Hu Er led a few brothers behind him who followed his lead and rushed in carelessly. When he saw the fire in the wing, he couldn't help but shook his head: "Straight thief, who made the first move?"

?I’m afraid the Feng family’s big house cost no less than five thousand taels of silver. It’s such a pity. Even if it is demolished, it can be sold for a lot of money, right?”

Squeezing the thin iron waist knife in his hand, Zhao Cangsong's slightly pale face turned red, and there was a trace of sinisterness in his eyes.

The few men following him behind him could no longer restrain themselves and were about to step forward, but they were stopped by him. "Don't worry, Master Zu and Master are behind. They just entered the city. It seems that Feng Zhai has already arrived."

It has been looted, I am afraid that this ingot of silver was left behind by someone in a hurry."

"We are meeting, so we have to take the lead and build momentum. Otherwise, when they arrive, they will think that we are not even as good as a bunch of kiln workers. Wouldn't it mean that we have lost the prestige of our Amitabha?" followed Zailuo.

A burly man behind Cangsong was unhappy.

Luo Cangsong was the person called "Huitou". He hesitated for a moment, but finally shook his head: "It's better not to break up for the time being. The purpose of passing on the head is to rely on them. If you can't bear it, you will mess up the big plan. When the news comes,

The leader and the dean have arrived, and they have their own concerns, but we can’t show weakness. If we really want to bully you, we don’t have to give in. By the way, when someone is around, you can’t ask me to teach you my position!”

Soon the two groups of people were fighting each other at the entrance of the cave in the back garden, and they were almost about to get into a fight.

It's a pity that more and more people came in, and it was obvious that someone was in charge, and the situation was quickly controlled. Feng You and Feng Ziying, who were looking out from the darkroom on the east side through a hidden observation hole under the eaves, were both

Extremely frustrated.

The Fu Bo couple who were tied together were soon discovered in the corner, and they were brought out. After a rough interrogation by a few leaders-like people, it was not of much value.

Feng Ziying had to admit that Fu Bo was definitely at the level of a movie king. His tearful performance really vividly demonstrated the fear, fright and unwillingness of an old and frail concierge after encountering thieves.

The darkroom behind the wall of Feng's house is quite hidden and exquisite. It has to be said that such a wealthy mansion has put a lot of effort into the design and construction of such a secret darkroom.

From the most inconspicuous stone mill, there is an invisible movable door next to a stone cabinet, and you can enter a passage. The passage can be passed by one person. You need to go through two twists and turns to reach the secret room.

The secret room can also be walked up a stairway to a half-hidden darkroom.

The darkroom is very secretive with cornices and tiles, and there is no clue from the outside. Even when you walk in front of it, you can only feel that the walls and partitions of the mansion are slightly thicker and wider. It is completely unexpected that this is actually a sandwiched wall.

.

Under the eaves, a series of colorful dark patterns painted with wood carvings have become mottled due to long exposure to wind and rain. There are even a lot of moss growing on them. The dark holes cannot be seen in the wood carvings at all, but this is Feng

This is the observation hole of the darkroom.

This L-shaped cornice is not very eye-catching, but it is slightly higher than the height of the surrounding wing rooms. You can walk along the verandah and see all the movement in the inner courtyard, and on the other side, you can see the entire scene from the inner courtyard to the front yard.

This was also the specially targeted layout arrangement made by Feng Zhai when designing it.

Uncle Fu and his wife were surrounded and intimidated by this large group of thieves for a long time. They kept repeating those few words over and over again. However, when they asked about the matter of Feng's house, Uncle Fu said intermittently that they roughly understood, but who was the first to take over?

Feng's house was completely ransacked, but he couldn't explain it clearly.

Seeing that more and more people were admitted to the hospital, Feng You and Feng Ziying also became a little nervous. The dozens of people who came in earlier were slowly kicked out. After several negotiations, they slowly calmed down.

Double access control was added to the gate, and sentries were even posted at the four corners of the courtyard wall. Each of them looked sharp and powerful, and at first glance they looked like the kiln workers, Lifu and rogues they had encountered earlier.

No category.

The people who came in later had unusual identities. They all bowed their hands and saluted each other. They were called "Huitou", "Zhuantou", "Zhang Jing" and so on.

Feng You, who was half-hunched over, looked frighteningly ugly.

There is no doubt that this is a real bandit rebellion, the White Lotus Sect bandits!

It’s not the ordinary troublemaking of a kiln worker or a laborer trying to make a living!

Perhaps the trigger before was indeed the wanton extortion by the tax supervisor from the palace, but now it is definitely not as simple as making trouble just for the sake of livelihood.

I have been beaten to death by the Mongolian Tatars outside Datong Town and the border wall for more than ten years. The arrow in my face was a gift from the Mongol Tatars, and the most powerful people who helped the tyranny were the White Lotus cultists in the Bansheng area!

Those White Lotus believers who fled from the mainland to the Bansheng area, under the protection of Anda Khan and Sanniangzi, have become the most vicious minions of the Mongolian Tatars. Their armed elite "White Lotus Holy Army" has even become more harmful to the frontier fortress.

Tatar cavalry.

After all, the Tatar cavalry comes and goes like the wind, occupying the most maneuverability, and the elites of the White Lotus Army have been in the Bansheng area for decades. They are not only good at riding and shooting, but they are also good at attacking cities and fortresses in their own profession.

Ripe.

Because of this, Feng You was so afraid of these religious bandits.

But he never expected that the White Lotus Sect would be so rampant in Shandong, especially in the heartland of the Great Zhou Dynasty on both sides of the canal?

What on earth is Linqing Health Center doing?

What are the Shandong Civil Affairs Department of the Ministry of Punishment and the Staff Affairs Department of the Ministry of War doing?

What is Captain Long doing again?
