He Shuiqing and Ran Yuncheng both looked in the direction of the visitor.

When such a person appeared on the street outside the government office, the first reaction between the two was that the Luoyang County Magistrate returned with the young and strong man, and both breathed a sigh of relief.

They were unable to borrow troops from Fu Palace and wanted to protect Luoyang City. The only thing they could rely on now was the young and strong man found by the magistrate of Luoyang County.

"The magistrate of Luoyang County is really capable. The young and strong man he found looks pretty good, not as messy as he imagined." Ran Yuncheng said in a relaxed tone.

The stronger the youthful, the greater the help it will be for defending Luoyang City.

"It's really good, even the weapons are distributed." He Shuiqing nodded in agreement, and walked a few steps down the street to see more clearly.

Ran Yuncheng next to him followed him together.

However, at this moment, the military officer who had not spoken suddenly said, "No, these people are not young and strong, but bandits. The bandits are here!"

After returning from the northern city wall, he was very familiar with the outfits of the tiger-shaped flag soldiers.

"Rebel, robber!" He Shuiqing's tone suddenly stuttered!

The body began to tremble uncontrollably.

When the thief was outside the city, he was naturally not afraid of the thief, but now the thief is in front of him, and as a scholar, he is beginning to be afraid.

"It's a thief, it's really a thief." Ran Yuncheng next to him suddenly exclaimed, turned around and fled to the government office.

Qingqiang had weapons in his hands and could explain it, but Qingqiang, who was wearing uniform armor clothes, did not think that it would be the young and strong ones found by Luoyang County Magistrate.

As the brigades appeared on the street closer, the people standing outside the government office could already recognize that the brigades were not the young and strong people found by the magistrate of Luoyang County.

The prefect He Shuiqing's movements were not slow either.

Following behind Ran Yuncheng, he fled back to the government office.

Two green sedan chairs were discarded on the street, and several sedan chairmen rushed into the government office, and at the same time they did not forget to close the gate of the government office.

The only one who did not escape into the government office was the military officer who first discovered the identity of the visitor.

I saw him riding on the back of a horse, urging his horse off, leaving the government office, and fleeing in the opposite direction of the North City.

The Tiger Flag Warriors who rushed over from behind surrounded Luoyang Prefecture.

"Several people come here and knock the door open." The leader of the army commander called out his soldiers.

Four or five soldiers walked up from behind, carrying a log in their hands.

Logs are bumps that were found after entering the city, and are specially used to deal with gates like the government office in front of you.

"One, two, three, bump."

winter!

"One, two, three, bump."

winter!

"One, two, three, bump."

Hurry!

The door latch behind the government office gate was cracked and a gap was broken.

The log that hit the door was moved away, and a team of soldiers rushed up, completely knocked open the door of the government office, and broke into the government office.

At this moment, a fire broke out from the lobby of the government office.

"This is going to burn yourself! Hurry up, hurry up and head to the place where the fire is on." The leader of the warrior greeted him and rushed towards the place where the fire is rising.

For no reason, there are few places such as an important government office that rarely burn big fires, and even if a fire occurs, it will be extinguished quickly.

A team of soldiers soon arrived at the fireplace.

The fire had already started, and a beam of the house was smashed down and fell in front of the door that burned the house, blocking the door.

The captain of the warrior saw through the fire, and saw a figure shaking inside the burning house.

"Put the fire, go and put out the fire." The leader of the war soldiers ordered his soldiers to put out the fire.

To put out a fire does not necessarily mean to save people, but the houses are made of wooden structures, and the doors and windows are mostly made of paper pasted with pulp and lakes. It is very easy to burn. If the fire is not extinguished, it will only burn more and more, so more and more houses will be burned.

The army of tiger flags has entered Luoyang City, so the government office is naturally its own thing.

As an officer in the Tiger Flag Army, how could he watch his own things be burned like this?

The government office is different from ordinary people. The government office has prepared many large water tanks filled with water. These water tanks are specially used for extinguishing fires.

Some soldiers scooped water from the surrounding water tanks to put out the fire, and some soldiers scattered the houses on both sides, trying to create an isolation belt to prevent the fire from burning to the houses on both sides.

"Captain, I caught a few people from the room next door." A soldier ran over to report.

In a wing room not far apart, five or six men in different dresses were taken out of the room by two soldiers.

The captain of the warrior squinted his eyes and looked at these people.

Especially one of the men who were rich and in regular clothes looked more like an official, and the rest were dressed in linen clothes and had thick fingers. At first glance, they were people who often worked as coolies.

"Bring him here." The captain of the warrior raised his hand and pointed at the man who looked more like an official.

A warrior brought the man over.

The man who was taken over was trembling slightly.

"Who set the fire?" The captain of the warrior did not ask the other party's identity directly, but asked about the fire.

The man looked up at the burning government hall lobby, then quickly withdrew his gaze, lowered his head and said, "It's the magistrate of Luoyang."

"Where are others?" the captain of the warrior asked again.

The man hesitated for a moment and said, "The person is in the fire, he doesn't want to fall into the hands of the thief... you."

"You should be an official too!" said the captain of the war soldiers, "Why didn't you follow him to burn yourself up and be afraid of death?"

The man heard this and his head hung on his chest.

"It seems that I've been told, what are you doing?" The captain of the war soldiers asked him, and immediately added, "Don't think about lying. There must be more than one person in Luoyang City who knows you, and you can't hide it even if you want to."

The man raised his head and said, "I am a Tongzhi of Luoyang. Just like you said, because I was afraid of death, I did not follow He Futai to set off himself."

As he said that, he looked at the burning lobby of the government office with mixed feelings.

He Shuiqing, who was burning himself in his heart, could have been a loyal minister in the Ming Dynasty, but he could not have died for the Ming Dynasty.

"Luoyang Tongzhi, a fifth-rank high-ranking official, met a Luoyang county magistrate. He knew the current affairs very well and took the initiative to surrender." The captain of the war soldiers laughed contemptuously.

Although he and the Ming officials had few good things, he still admired them in his heart, such as the Luoyang Prefect who devoted himself to the Ming Dynasty.

But like the Luoyang Tongzhi who was greedy for life and fear of death in front of him, he was the person he looked down upon the most.

"He is indeed a smart person and knows when and what choices he makes." Ran Yuncheng smiled bitterly and sighed with emotion when he heard the whereabouts of Luoyang County Magistrate.

At the same time, he also knew that there was no last hope of defending Luoyang City.
