When Liu Kezhuang heard the news, he was not afraid and came out with dozens of soldiers.
Liu Kezhuang looked serious and said: "What are you going to do? Do you know how sinful it is to gather a crowd to attack the government? Since it is your first offense, I will not hold you accountable and leave quickly."
Liao Jiyan immediately stood up, pointed at Liu Kezhuang and said: "My father was falsely accused by a few treacherous sons. Is there any son in the world who would sue his father? They are so unfilial, and even killing them in the street is common sense. Why should the county government show favoritism?
They arrested my father without asking any questions, so where is the king's law?"
Hundreds of people behind him shouted and yelled, "The son's life was given by his father, why should they sue his father?"
"Your county government just took advantage of it. You are corrupt and perverting the law."
"Let them go quickly, let them go quickly."
Liu Kezhuang was naturally not afraid of them. He was extremely resolute and would never let them go.
Liao Jiyan and others relied on the law and did not blame the crowd. With the strength of their numbers, they became more and more bold. They pushed and shoved Liu Kezhuang's soldiers, and the scene was chaotic.
Yan Mengbiao, Liao Shiliu, and a few of their subordinates were mixed in the crowd. Seeing that this was a rare opportunity, they exchanged a look and signaled to take action.
I saw Yan Mengbiao quietly walking to the place where the pushing was the most intense. Seeing the right moment, he took out his knife and stabbed forward.
A soldier in front of Yan Mengbiao was caught off guard and screamed. He fell into a pool of blood and died before he had time to resist.
Over there, Liao Shiliu struck almost at the same time and also killed a soldier.
Yes, they killed soldiers, not civilians!
The two soldiers fell to the ground, bleeding, and the scene stopped for an instant. Everyone was surprised and seemed to be frozen.
"Kill someone, kill someone, run away."
When everyone was in shock, one of Yan Mengbiao's men shouted loudly and then took the lead in escaping.
Hundreds of people reacted quickly. Everyone was so frightened that they were scared to death. How could they dare to stay here? They all followed Yan Mengbiao and fled desperately. They immediately dispersed like birds and beasts.
"Hurry up and chase."
When Liu Kezhuang saw that a soldier had been killed, he was immediately surprised. He immediately felt that the authority of his government had been damaged. He immediately ordered people to chase him, vowing to capture Liao Jiyan and bring him to justice.
Hundreds of people ran all the way. On the road, the officers and soldiers were in hot pursuit. One of the people was running in a hurry and accidentally fell down. Seeing that the officers and soldiers behind him were about to chase him, the other people did not dare to care and just ran for their lives.
At this moment, Yan Mengbiao suddenly ran out, guarding the people behind him, and shouted loudly: "Yan Mengbiao is here, run quickly."
The fallen commoner cried with joy, thanked him, got up and ran away, leaving Yan Mengbiao behind alone to deal with the officers and soldiers.
"Look at the knife."
Yan Mengbiao was good at wielding a thick-backed machete with a sharp blade. He swung it forward suddenly, and before the pursuing officers and soldiers could react, he was beheaded by him. Blood splashed on Yan Mengbiao's face, making Yan Mengbiao even more majestic.
The officers and soldiers behind saw how powerful Yan Mengbiao was. They were stunned for a moment and subconsciously waited for more people to come forward. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yan Mengbiao turned around and ran away.
After that, the civilians who were lagging behind were almost overtaken by the officers and soldiers several times. At the critical moment, Yan Mengbiao stepped forward in time, fought with the officers and soldiers, and covered the evacuation of the civilians.
Yan Mengbiao's actions quickly made him the backbone of the people. In the past, because of Liao Jiyan's identity, everyone followed him, but now they subconsciously followed Yan Mengbiao and obeyed Yan Mengbiao's command. Everyone ran wherever Yan Mengbiao said to run.
.
Yan Mengbiao finally led several hundred people into the mountain. They were sheltered by big trees and it was temporarily safe. Then everyone stopped to rest.
After resting for a while, Yan Mengbiao said to everyone: "Now that we have killed people from the government, the government will definitely kill us. I have some dry food here. You can divide it and run for your lives."
This place was planned by Yan Mengbiao in advance. He hid several bags of dry food here. Yan Mengbiao took them out and gave them to everyone to share.
Everyone was greatly moved when they received the dry food. They didn't even think about why Yan Mengbiao had dry food around him at this time. Looking at Yan Mengbiao, they only felt that he was a good man and a great hero, with an extremely tall image.
"Everyone, see you later." After dividing the food, Yan Mengbiao said goodbye and left.
As soon as Yan Mengbiao left, everyone was at a loss as to what to do next.
At this time, Liao Shiliu loudly said to everyone: "Now the government is looking for us everywhere. If we are caught, not only will we die, but our family members will also be implicated and killed."
Everyone was frightened, and everyone became more panicked. Who would have thought that things would turn out like this.
Liao Shiliu signaled to his subordinate Zhang Qingfu who had mixed into the crowd. Zhang Qingfu understood and immediately responded to Liao Shiliu and said loudly: "Damn it, the court won't let us live, so we might as well do the opposite. Anyway, we are dead, so we will be punished by the government."
It is better to die in a grand manner than to be caught and tortured, and if it succeeds, you can still have a wife and a shadow."
"Yes, the imperial court is cruel. We know that the common people have plenty of fish and meat every day, but we are hungry and cold. We sell our children and daughters. It is unreasonable not to do otherwise."
The common people were incited by their actions, and all of them became hot-headed and emotionally excited, and started to shout against it.
Seeing that the time was ripe, Liao Shiliu said: "Fellow fellow villagers, there are thousands of people in the family, but one person is in charge. We want to resist the imperial court, and it won't work without someone as the leader. The elder brother just now is loyal and courageous, and is as skilled as Guan Gong.
While we are still alive, it is better for us to regard him as our Lord and ask him to be our leader. What do you think?"
Liu Qingfu immediately answered the conversation and said: "Okay, I agree. That brother just now was one against ten. He is a great person. If he is here, there is no need to worry about big things happening."
"Yes, yes, I agree."
The other men who mingled with the crowd also responded. The people who did not know the truth were already in awe of Yan Mengbiao, but now they naturally agreed without hesitation.
Then Liao Shiliu led everyone to catch up with Yan Mengbiao. Liao Shiliu said: "This brother, the court is cruel and the world is upside down. We want to raise an army to start a rebellion, so I ask my brother Tian to be the leader to lead us."
Yan Mengbiao waved his hand and declined, saying: "How can this make me, Yan Mengbiao, just a foreigner, how can I become your leader? It is impossible, absolutely impossible."
Liao Shiliu said: "Brother, you, a foreigner, are so affectionate and willing to stand up for us. If we don't choose you, who will you choose?"
As he spoke, Liao Shiliu immediately knelt down and begged Yan Mengbiao to agree.
Liao Shiliu knelt down, and the others naturally followed suit and asked Yan Mengbiao to be their leader.
Yan Mengbiao was very excited and tried not to show it on his face. He finally sighed, drew his knife, walked to a tree, and chopped off the tree with one knife.
Everyone was surprised and deeply impressed by Yan Mengbiao's martial arts.
