Something happened to Qingyang Supervisor at the gate of Youhu Villa. He Xiao didn't say anything and rubbed oil on the soles of his feet.
He ran quite smoothly, but he made Zhao Song miserable.
The palace envoy also followed, looking unhappy: "Commander Zhao, what's going on here, where is He Xiao?"
Zhao Song turned pale in a hurry and didn't know how to explain it. A palace guard rushed out of the room and said: "Sir, there is a letter on the table!"
Zhao Song took it and looked at it. He Lingchuan's handwriting was on the envelope:
Lord Qiu Long personally opened it.
Another line of small words on the side: Please pass it on to Zhao Song.
This guy! Zhao Song’s teeth are almost broken. He Xiao escaped on his own, but he still ordered him to do his work!
But he didn't have the guts to tear open the envelope and read the contents.
He looked at the envelope again and saw that the ink was still wet, so he immediately ordered: "Go down and expand the search area around the villa!"
However, Zhao Song also vaguely understood in his heart that with He Xiao's ability, once he escaped from the villa, it would be difficult to be captured.
Palace envoy Yu also understood, with a pale face as well: "Hey Xiao, did he escape?"
Zhao Song said hoarsely: "At least it's not in this house anymore."
Yu Gong envoy said anxiously: "Commander Zhao, how could you let him escape!"
"Me? Is it just my fault?" Zhao Song laughed angrily, "Don't Master Yu also agree that he should go back to the house to change clothes?"
If the king takes the blame, they both have to bear the burden together!
On both sides, you stare at me, I stare at you, big eyes and small eyes, all of which are in panic.
After a few breaths, Yu Gongshi held back five words: "What should we do now?"
Zhao Song didn't answer and walked back and forth in the room several times.
As time went by, the palace guards who had finally guarded the outside came back, but what they brought them was bad news:
"Not found."
Hundreds of people went out and found no whereabouts of He Xiao near the villa. They only found a few refugees in the woods.
They possess Yuan Power, and it is difficult to hide from their eyes with ordinary disguise and concealment-like magical powers.
Zhao Song and Yu Gongshi felt half-hearted and did not dare to waste any more time. They could only leave their manpower behind to continue searching. They grabbed the letter left by He Xiao and left the village to return to the city to report.
…
Special envoys Qingyang and Bejia have just entered the palace, and riots broke out in Tianshui City again!
In the past two days when the warehouses were opened to release grain, the refugees were appeased. Although theft cases have not stopped, large-scale and group riots have basically stopped.
Tianshui City finally regained its original tranquility, and King Yao also thought that his orders were appropriate and his arrangements were effective.
However, this time the riot at dusk shocked everyone because it was unprecedented in scale and extremely fast!
The cause of the riot was a quarrel between several refugees and officials during the evening porridge service. One person said the porridge was too thin and the dogs would not eat it, another accused the officials of being greedy for the refugees' food, and the other person scolded the officials for not being as good as pigs or dogs. Drinking porridge was a waste.
.
At this juncture, how can the tense nerves bear this kind of teasing?
Several officials were spitting with curses, but the refugees on the opposite side violently drew their swords, one by one, and blood spattered five steps forward!
Another fatality occurred.
How could the government allow the murderous refugees to be arrogant and domineering? Hundreds of officials rushed in to take people away, while other refugees threw things at them, including a few firecrackers and a few grenades!
There were several booms and flowers fell to the ground, completely igniting the anger of both parties.
A large-scale gang fight began from then on.
In the past, when the government encircled and suppressed the refugees, they only had to clear out the huts one by one. Each hut had at least dozens of refugees and no more than 200. The official officers and patrols had an absolute advantage in numbers and weapons, so it did not take much effort to fight.
But today is different from the past!
In order to strengthen the management of the refugees and prevent the arrival of the emperor's liquid from causing riots in the city, King Yao adopted Bai Tan's suggestion and drove the refugees in the city to four major camps to monitor them day and night.
However, this resulted in a large number of refugees gathering. The smallest camp had more than 10,000 people, and the largest number reached an astonishing 40,000!
In terms of numbers, the officialdom no longer has the upper hand.
This time the riot started in a camp of 40,000 refugees.
Suddenly, the refugees were like a flood that opened and poured out!
There were about 2,000 military officers surrounding them, and they were unable to stop them.
Although they have sophisticated weapons, they are still powerless when faced with the enemy being outnumbered 20 to 1. Moreover, the refugees have been receiving relief for a few days and cannot be said to be full of energy, but they are in better spirits than before.
The official felt aggrieved when he thought about opening military warehouses in Tianshui City to store military rations and giving birth to such a group of rebels.
Not to mention that someone among the refugees suddenly transformed into a sword, gun, sword and halberd, and kept waving at them!
These poor people have no possessions. They only occasionally have a spade or a pitchfork, but that's a big deal. How can they get so many sophisticated standard weapons?
And the more they get, the more three out of ten people can get weapons and protective gear!
Generally speaking, the combat power of the refugees was far inferior to that of the patrol army, but combined with the huge disparity in numbers between the two sides, the patrol army was suddenly defeated and retreated!
"Where are the patrols in West City and East City?" Bai Tan roared angrily, "Move over and guard them too! Hurry up!"
The majority of the refugees who rushed out of the camp did not disperse, but formed a group and attacked the North District!
The northern area of the city is where upper-class officials live, with high-walled courtyards and magnificent buildings.
With their numerical advantage, the refugee group easily crushed the guards in the northern district of the city, and then rushed into several large houses!
By coincidence, the protective formations of these mansions happened to be out of order, and they could not defend themselves against enemies.
The first lost mansion was actually the ancient family of officials and merchants!
Yes, it is the Gu family that monopolizes the exclusive rights to operate Weiyinjie, one of the largest official businessmen in Yao Kingdom, and one of the top wealthy families in Tianshui City.
Even when He Lingchuan came to Tianshui City for the first time, he was rejected by the Gu family.
The Gu family's house in the north of the city is the largest and most luxurious, and its defenses are naturally the most comprehensive. But somehow, both the front and rear formations have failed, and even the backup formation cannot be activated!
No matter how many nurses and servants the Gu family has, can they outnumber the refugees?
The result of being unable to defeat forty hands with two fists is that the refugees rush into the house and drag out the Gu family and slaves!
Gu Xuan was pulled out of his hiding place. He only heard the screams of his family members everywhere, and saw silhouettes and torches everywhere. Before he could see who was leading the enemy, he was chopped off in the neck with a knife.
Before the headless body even landed on the ground, several refugees nearby started fighting over the jade pendant around his waist and the necklace around his neck!
The prosperity and wealth that the Gu family had managed for decades collapsed in one fell swoop.
Like it, there were seven or eight other wealthy mansions that were attacked by refugees.
In addition to killing and looting, the refugees also occupied mansions and used the high walls and thick doors here to resist the attacks of the patrols!
These refugees changed from their previous lack of discipline and actually knew how to find strongholds for themselves and then defend them firmly.
There are strongholds, fortifications, weapons and armor, and a large amount of food stored in the mansion.
