Chapter 386 Ending
Shangguan Ruoli also prepared explosive packs, but he didn't expect that they wouldn't be used at all.
Dongming Ziyu first killed people to frighten him, and then mobilized the people. Countless people rushed out and fought with the "mountain bandits".
Shangguan Ruoli and Ling Yue, with their keen senses, sat on the roof and helped write down the people who participated in the battle, so that no one would take the credit.
Cao'er stood behind Ling Yue, holding a big bow and aiming at the crowd, specifically shooting at the person who looked like the leader.
She was very strong, she drew the bow fully, her hand was steady, and her aim was accurate. Seven or eight of the ten arrows hit the target, and the accuracy was acceptable.
Suddenly, I heard screams coming from the backyard. The chicken thieves wanted to attack the back house, but they were ambushed somewhere with crossbows and hot water.
Shangguan Ruoli stood up from the roof, raised the crossbow arrow in his hand, and fired at the remaining leaders in the crowd. The arrow was fired without any miss.
Cao'er was filled with admiration, "Madam, you are so awesome!"
Shangguan Ruoli said to Ling Yue: "You guys watch here, I'll go take a look from behind."
Ling Yue stared at the melee crowd and said: "I know."
Almost all the leaders of the Zhao family died, and so many people died. Many people were afraid. Some people took the lead and surrendered, and then one after another people dropped their weapons and surrendered.
At this time, the county magistrate and the chief registrar appeared to maintain order, appease the people, and dispose of the corpses...
They all saw it just now. The new county magistrate killed people without blinking an eye, and his expression remained unchanged when facing the fallen heads. It was terrible!
They thought that when the county magistrate first arrived, they were frightened to learn that Magistrate Wu had died in a tragic accident. There were only about thirty people available. Faced with thousands of anti-citizens, they should calm down the matter first and then plan for the long term. Who knows,
Kill him directly!
It's totally a big deal!
The new county magistrate dares to make such a big deal. Is he a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, or does he have support and confidence?
Their intuition is that the person who can win six yuan in a row should not be so stupid, and must be the latter.
The county magistrate didn't know whether he was busy or frightened, but he kept sweating on his forehead. Before the people dispersed, he knelt down in front of Dongming Ziyu, and said with snot and tears: "Sir, what are you doing for me?"
What a good official the people decide! The scene of the officials and the people working together to fight against the bandits is really touching! It will definitely be recorded in the county annals! Your Excellency, please accept my homage!"
When the chief clerk saw him bursting into tears, a flash of disdain flashed in his eyes and he continued his work.
Dongming Ziyu raised his hand slightly, signaling to the county magistrate not to say it was useless, "County Magistrate, think of a way to lock up all the living and surrendered ones so that they can be interrogated carefully tomorrow."
There are so many people that the county government's prison cells cannot accommodate them.
The county magistrate hurriedly said: "My lord, my subordinates will go and take care of it now. After clearing out a few cells, it will definitely be done properly!"
Shuan Zhu interrogated the so-called bandits and found out that they were from the Zhao family. Dongming Ziyu asked the guards of the East Palace to go and collect all the account books of the Zhao family's main properties, so that they would not have evidence of transferring their property.
Dongshi set up a table at the yamen gate, registered the people who participated in quelling the chaos today, and registered the young men who were willing to come to the yamen as servants. Ling Yue sat on the roof and watched, but no one came to claim the credit.
Dongming Ziyu handed the front to the county magistrate and the chief registrar, then turned back to the backyard to check on the safety of his family.
There were also many people attacking the backyard, but the main weapon of the old, weak, women and children was hot water, so many were injured but few died. Seeing that they were defeated in front, they had already run away.
Wulang, Erhu and the others went out to pick up crossbow arrows. They must be made of fine iron. It would be best if they could find them back.
Shangguan Ruoli, Mrs. Qian and others set up a big iron pot to cook porridge. The people worked hard, but they still had to drink some hot porridge.
Shangguan took several of his disciples, grandchildren, and attendants to treat the injured people. They could not be left unattended to their injuries.
