Yanghe East Road Bingbei Mansion, Wang Bingbei and the Grain Management Prison were having a happy conversation.

"Mr. Bingbei, I've heard the news. Ang Lee's group is contacting the servants and preparing to make a salary!"

When Wang Bingbei heard this, he smiled and slapped his thigh, and was overjoyed.

"It's better to fight to the death. These martial artists are all clean. Only then can we civil officials have a chance to make a comeback!"

The magistrate of the grain management was also very excited. Logically speaking, as the second-in-command of the Military Preparation Office, local military officers should not be filial to them at all times?

However, the forces of these military officers on the East Road were too deeply rooted, and foreign officials could not get involved in local affairs. Not to mention filial piety, if they did not cause trouble for them on their own initiative, the Bingbei Mansion would be grateful.

At this moment, seeing the military officers of the General's Mansion and the local tyrants want to join forces, the two of them were happy to watch the show and wanted to come forward to stir up the flames.

"Sir, which side do you think can win between these two parties?"

After laughing, Guanliang Tongzong said, "I think Lu Fan has a greater chance of winning. Should we share a vent to him? It's a good relationship? After all, he is the chief general of the East Road and will have to deal with him in the future."

Wang Bingbei shook his head, "Forget it! I think Lu Fan is too murderous. If you don't do it well, the Yanghe City will be filled with blood. But even if Lu Fan wins, he will be punished by the court in the future. We should be less involved!"

Speaking of this, he sneered, "Ha, we civil servants are very scared by this thing! Just so, borrowing the hand of Lu Fan, a group of lawless warriors know that stoking money is not unfavorable!"

............

The second day after the return of the bandit suppression army, after a night of rest, the government troops from all over the country who were supposed to return to various cities did not leave, but were gathered together.

In front of the army, you can see some thousand households, and they are always shouting passionately.

Listen carefully and you can hear some extremely inciting words.

"It is natural to be a soldier and earn salary!"

"The General of the Governor has money, so why should we ask him for salary? "

"Why are you reluctant to pay us money to the refugees?"

"You need a salary!"

"You need a salary!"

People have a herd mentality, especially the guards and ethical servants in various places keep setting the pace. In almost a short period of time, the sounds of paying for thousands of people were overwhelming and gathering together, like thunder.

Even some soldiers who did not want to cause trouble became excited under such encouragement.

The law does not punish the masses. Even if the generals in charge are to be punished in the future, at most they will only cause trouble for those leaders. What are the fears of these soldiers?

.........

May 3, the first year of Chongzhen, this day is definitely an unforgettable day for the people of Yanghecheng.

After working hard all the spring, the land reclamation finally ended. The people in the city relaxed rarely and began to prepare for the Dragon Boat Festival two days later.

With the addition of refugees, the population of Yanghe City has risen rapidly. Even though it is still early in the morning, the shops in the entire city have already opened, and pedestrians on the streets are bustling, which is very lively.

"The soldiers are here!"

At the gate of Yanghe City, someone exclaimed, and the next moment, the screams of panic came one after another, and they rang out from all parts of the city.

The people turned around and looked. At some point, the street connecting the city gate had been cleared. A large number of officials, holding weapons and holding banners, broke into the city.

"It is natural to be a soldier and earn salary!"

"The refugees want to eat, and we want to eat too!"

"The military pay is deducted and all the conscience is lost!"

Slogans rang in the city, which really caused a stir among the people.

But the officials who were making money were honest at first, just shouting slogans and pulling banners to advance into the city little by little, and did not intend to harm the people. After the initial panic, the people gradually calmed down.

"Is this a sensation?"

"It's a sensation, but it's not right. Our general is the Grand Master Qingtian, how could he withdrew military pay?"

"Yes, I gave them silver yesterday to commend military merits. Today, these Qiu Bas are here to make money. Isn't this too greedy?"

"Hmph, before the Governor General came, these officials have bullied us a lot. I thought I should be honest now, but I didn't expect that this kind of virtue is still the same! It's true that they are ungrateful wolves who are not well-skilled!"

"I don't know what the Governor will do. I hope there will be no accident. Otherwise, if the Governor is transferred, how can we keep the land after the land is opened?"

An atmosphere of doubt, worry and fear spread throughout the city. At this time, Lu Fangao was sitting in the main seat in the general's mansion, Shen Lian, Yin Cheng and others were looking at each other with excitement.

"Sir, this time, the people who made money were mainly servants of military officers from all over the country, and they had some soldiers who had not made military achievements in the suppression of bandits. The number was about 4,000?" Yin Cheng stood up and reported.

"Oh, what about the remaining one thousand people, didn't follow?"

"The thousand people made military achievements in the bandit suppression, and many of them were even promoted. These people were first accompanied by the army, but when they arrived at the gate of the city, they were stopped by some Qianzheng who were promoted yesterday. No matter how other officials urged them, they refused to enter the city!"

Lu Fan smiled and nodded, "It's not helpless. He is not stupid enough yet. He knows whose money he is taking!"

Speaking of this, his face turned cold, "As for those left, if you take the money from me, you still dare to make money, there is no need to keep it!"

"Shen Lian, can brothers gather together?"

Shen Lian quickly stood up and said in a deep voice: "Report to Lord Lu Jianxing, one thousand troops have been assembled at the South Gate, and you can enter the city to quell the rebellion at any time!"

"And Jin Yichuan, a thousand men are ready to go at the North Gate, waiting for orders!"

"As for the remaining people, they have already set up defenses in the General's Mansion and several other important yamen. Don't worry, there will be no accidents!"

Lu Fan nodded. Not to mention that there were only 4,000 official troops who made the salary this time, even if there were 5,000 troops, it was not enough for the elite cavalry under his command to kill him.

He knew very well how bad the officials on the East Road were.

It is easy to oppress the people, but facing the army that can really fight and rush, and the elite cavalry of the Jinyiwei, it is estimated that the collapse will be in a moment, and it is really worthless.

"Sir, Ang Lee's garrison and ethics did not participate in it personally. These guys know how to protect themselves and are very smart!" Yin Cheng suddenly spoke.

Lu Fan nodded, "Send someone to watch, don't let them escape from the east while they are in chaos. These people are fat and we are still waiting to squeeze flowers from them!"
