In the dark night, carriages were galloping on the official road leading to Zhaoqing Mansion. The driver tried his best to make the carriage run faster, but the carriage piled on the carriage was too heavy. No matter how hard his whip was, the horse could not run faster.

In addition to horse-drawn carriages, there were many donkey carriages on the road, and even several ox carriages. Similarly, there were people on it. Some of them could not squeeze into the carriage and could only follow them with the handlebars. The convoy was stretched for two miles, including men, women, young and old, and I don’t know how many big bags I brought.

There were many cars and many people, but the night was too dark, and it was pitch black. Everyone could only rely on the torches in front to guide the way. Everyone was anxious to escape from the Ming army approaching Deqing City. Soon, a carriage hit a big tree on the side of the road because it was too fast. The carriage suddenly overturned and the people were raising their heads. The curses of men, complaints of women, and crying of children mixed together, and the people behind were panicked.

The carriage that was overturned was from Wang Shiyun's family who was in the jewelry business in Deqing City. When he heard the servant say that a car had overturned, Wang Shiyun jumped in a hurry and asked the housekeeper to quickly move the jewelry on the car to other cars. As for the injured servants, they ignored it and let them fend for themselves.

"Master, take us with me!"

"Master, you can't leave us behind!"

"Master, I have been with you for more than ten years, you can't leave me behind!"

Several injured servants dragged their children to hold the legs of the manager, hoping that the boss could take them with him, but what they got was the ruthless curse of the manager. The kind boss, who was usually kind, also changed his face and kicked away a friend who had been at his house for more than ten years with great impatientness, and then left without looking back.

The guy's daughter, an eight-year-old girl, saw her father being beaten, rushed to the boss while crying and shouting, grabbed the corner of his clothes and refused to let him leave, but was carried aside by a thug in the hospital guard.

Seeing that the boss was so ruthless, the wife of the guy cursed viciously in despair: "Wang Shiyun, you have no conscience, you must die well..." After cursing, she hugged her husband whose legs were broken and her daughter with bloody mouths burst into tears. The miserable voice was particularly terrifying in the middle of the night.

The old woman in a carriage passing by heard the woman's crying and frowned and asked outside the carriage: "Which family is so cruel and left the person?"

The butler sitting with the coachman outside the carriage turned around and said, "Teda travels to the Wang family."

"No wonder, Wang Shiyun is not a good person, but the master is close to his family." The old woman shook her head, her eyes fell on her husband beside her, and she held his hand nervously, and whispered: "Master, Mingjun won't catch up with us, right?"

Ye Jinglian gently patted his wife's hand and comforted her, "Mingjun wants to be Deqing City, why are we chasing us? Don't worry, it's been a few miles away from the city, and there are no five fingers outside. Mingjun didn't know that we ran away."

After hearing her husband's words, the old woman felt a little relieved, and then complained: "The master used to be an official in the Ming Dynasty, and he was not supposed to do things for the Manzhou people. Now, we will run away as soon as the Ming army comes. Alas..."

"What do women know?" Ye Jinglian didn't like to listen to his wife's words the most. In addition, he was already irritated and couldn't help but make a louder voice. "The Ming Dynasty has been destroyed, and the world is from Manzhou. The so-called people who know the times are heroes, and their husbands are also for our Ye family. Could it be that the Ye family really wants to be eliminated from now on and become an ordinary family? The Emperor Yongli of the Southern Ming Dynasty cannot grow up!"

Seeing that her husband was angry, the old woman did not dare to contradict her, so she had to murmur: "Then you don't have to do those things that are sorry to the Ming Dynasty."

"If I don't do those things, will Lin'er be valued by the Governor?"

When the husband mentioned his son, the old woman had nothing to say. The couple sat there for a while, and Ye Jinglian suddenly cursed: "Tang Sanshui dared to accept one thousand taels of silver from me, and this bastard didn't look at which one was for her husband!... I turned around and asked Lin'er to sue him at the Governor." After a pause, he sneer and sneer: "But I don't know if this silver will eventually fall into his hands or the Ming army. If he dies in the Ming army, it will be easier."

The old woman said, "Master, money is something outside of the body after all, so Mr. Tang Qian took the risk of letting us go out of the city and could not remember this..." As he was speaking, he heard the butler outside the carriage screaming in panic: "Master, it seems that someone riding a horse is chasing him from behind!"

"What!"

Ye Jinglian trembled, lifted up the curtain and looked back, and saw a group of people riding horses catching up from behind. In an instant, his face became extremely ugly.

.........

"Ming Army is here, Ming Army is here!"

The sudden appearance of cavalry behind caused the fugitive crowd to stir up the last few cars. Finally, the people on the top were stopped and ran to the woods on both sides of the road, for fear that they would run slower and asked Mingjun to kill them.

Zhou Shixiang took the lead, and was very skilled and brave. He relied on his skillful equestrian skills to cross the crowd and rushed to the front to force several carriages to stop. The official road was blocked, and the vehicles behind him could not leave even if they wanted to.

"Escape from everyone!"

The carriage could not move, and the young and old families jumped out of the carriage, hugging the soft goods tightly in their arms and running to both sides.

"Stop them, stop them!"

There are several families with strong foundations and big families, and many families with guards who have raised many guards to shout out that the guards were trying to resist stubbornly, but under the swords of the Ming army, the guards could only be slaughtered like pigs and sheep. Many people did not even scream, but their heads rolled to the ground with their braids.

In the night, I don’t know how many cavalry soldiers the Ming army had arrived. The servants and guards were very timid. After gritting their teeth and barely blocking them for a while, they ignored the master’s rewards and scattered in a hurry.

"Ma Wu, Ma Wu, take the master away!"

Because of fear, Ye Jinglian almost lost his strength to stand. He pulled his wife and begged the guard leader Ma Wu to speak in a crying voice.

"Master, if you are an ordinary thief, the young one will definitely protect you well, but you are from the Ming army. The young one is just a guard. How can you fight with them? Master, take care of yourself, the young one will escape first!"

After Ma Wu said that, he spread his legs and ran towards the forest to the west. As soon as he ran, the remaining guards also ran.

There were crowds of people fleeing around, and Ye Jinglian, who was left with only his wife and housekeeper, was so scared that he was about to cry. He begged to Ma Wu, who had already run out more than ten feet, and said, "Brother Ma Wu, bring the master... I will give you all the money..."

Perhaps it was silver that worked. Ma Wu, who ran out, gritted his teeth and brought two men back. One of them dragged Ye Jinglian and his wife, but just after running for more than ten steps, he paused, but stood there. After a closer look, Ma Wu's back called a spear to poke a blood hole in the boss.

"My God..."

Ye Jinglian's old wife ate vegetarian food and chanted Buddha's name on weekdays, but she had never seen this scene. She was so scared that she fainted. Ye Jinglian was also trembling with her legs, and she could not step out. The housekeeper even snatched her mouth and retching.

Seeing this, the two guards who turned back quickly let go and ran away without turning back.

"Don't kill me, don't kill me, give you all the things, give you..."
