"PS: Thank you very much to the book friend of "The Imperial Concubine Silver Cod Fish" for the 30W starting coin reward, huh huh huh."

"Please stop..."
"I beg you all..."
"don't want……"
In a medium-sized mansion, several female family members were either crying with fear on their faces, or shivering with babies in their arms, begging in fear to the group of thugs in front of them.
However, the leader of the mob still issued the order without mercy: "Kill!"
After several screams, there were no more survivors in the mansion, only a dozen thugs wiping their bloody weapons with their corpses.
"Let's go and change households!"
After giving instructions in a low voice, the leader led his men and left the mansion.
Faintly, a few conversations of local rangers could be heard on the dark streets.
"That's what I heard."
"This should be the right place..."
In this hazy moonlight, this group of thugs happened to collide with the dozen rangers.
The bright red bloodstains on the thugs aroused the vigilance of the leader of the rangers. He shouted: "These are the beasts, brothers, copycats!"
As a result, the two groups of people fought together.
At this moment, dense and relatively orderly footsteps were heard from far away in the street. The two groups of people looked up and faintly saw a group of fully armed soldiers running towards them holding torches in the distance.
"Bingwei? Or...junshui army?"
The mob leader narrowed his eyes and made a decisive decision to evacuate. Instead, the rangers were surrounded by the group of soldiers.
Several rangers prepared to give chase, but when they looked back, they found that some of their brothers had been surrounded by soldiers who had arrived.
"Hey, where are you? Those beasts have all escaped!"
"We? We are locals...Okay, let's put down our weapons."
"What are you doing! We brothers have saved many neighbors along the way! ...Who are we? If you ask around in Daliang, who knows our Changlefang brothers...Okay, I'll shut up."
Amidst a burst of curses, the rangers had their weapons confiscated and squatted against the street with their heads in their hands, watching a steady stream of soldiers coming in and quickly taking over the defense of the street.
Among them, there was a governor named Bai Bai. After he glanced at the row of more than a dozen rangers squatting along the street, he shook his head helplessly.
Along the way, their dredging army has encountered more than seven or eight groups of local rangers. It is undeniable that these scoundrels who usually specialize in extortion and extortion have indeed lived up to their self-proclaimed "chivalry" tonight and formed gangs.
With his weapons, he spontaneously fought with Xiao Ni's thugs who were trying to create chaos in the city, saving people and putting out fires. But on the other hand, the appearance of these people also had a certain impact on the mission of the Junshui Army.
Originally, the order from above was very simple. Anyone who violated the curfew and stayed on the streets of Daliang at this time could be killed as long as it was found out that he was not a soldier. However, the appearance of these rangers now caused the Junshui Army to have trouble.
Afraid of the burden of accidentally killing a good person.
"What a troublesome thing!" Glancing at the rangers, Supervisor Bai Bai scolded: "Go back to your own homes. If you encounter me again tonight, I will kill you without mercy!"
The rangers left with sad faces.
Seeing them leave, Bai Bai's tense expression relaxed a lot.
In fact, he knew in his heart that this group of scum did save a lot of people tonight. If it weren't for this group of scum who claimed to be the "Masters of Daliang", I'm afraid those thugs would have posed a greater threat to the royal capital, and there would have been more
Innocent people were killed, which is why the governor Bai Bai disobeyed the order and let these scum go.
"Let's go! Manpower must be deployed across the streets and alleys to force the rebels into a blind corner!"
Following Bai Bai's few orders, the dredging sergeants on the street quickly took action again and took over the defense of one street after another.
At the same time, the thugs were on the run.
On the way to escape, they met some accomplices one after another - all the accomplices who were driven over by the military guards and dredging troops.
The leaders of several thugs gathered together and thought: Since they can't escape anyway, they might as well do it!
So, they set their sights on the "Smelting General Administration" a few streets away.
In fact, at this time, the main body of Daliang Smelting Bureau had already been moved outside the city, and the old site in the city had been changed to a place to accommodate the families of Smelting Bureau officials and craftsmen. Of course, some civilian officials would also live here.
In general, the "General Administration of Metallurgy" in Daliang City is just an empty shell, but it is undeniable that even if it is an empty shell, there are many things here that make Xiao Ni jealous, such as the library in the General Administration, where are placed
The most precious thing of the Smelting Bureau, the weapons blueprints - the design drawings and forging drawings of every weapon, armor, war weapon, are all treasured in the library.
For example, if you can grab the design drawings of the latest weapons of the Metallurgical Bureau, it will be more meaningful than causing chaos in Daliang this time.
Thinking of this, the thug leaders gathered together and immediately led their thugs to the Smelting General Administration.
As the government office of the imperial court, the General Administration of Metallurgical Engineering will have guards stationed here during the day to prevent stray people from straying into it. However, at the moment, the guards on duty have not arrived yet.
Seeing this God-given opportunity, the thugs were overjoyed. After breaking open the door of the house, they swarmed in.
However, when these thugs rushed into the government office, what greeted them was a row of tortoise-shell chariots, and an object like a wooden cabinet placed between the two tortoise-shell chariots.
"put!"
As an unwavering voice sounded, the stunned thugs fell to the ground one after another like wheat fields blown down by the strong wind.
In just the blink of an eye, dozens of thugs were dead.
"stop!"
The voice sounded again, and Wang Fu, director of the General Administration of Metallurgy and Manufacturing, stepped out from behind a tortoise-shell chariot.
At this time, the officials and craftsmen of the Smelting Bureau who operated the crossbow boxes were ordered to pull down the mechanism that stopped firing crossbow bolts. Only a few clicks were heard, and several crossbow boxes continued to fire.
There was no movement after the crossbow arrow.
"Why……"
The officials of the Smelting Bureau present sighed in tacit understanding. They knew that the gears in the crossbow boxes of the machines had been scrapped during the forced stop process just now - they still failed to overcome this problem.
Ignoring the thugs who fell at the door of the General Administration of Metallurgy, several craftsmen opened the crossbow boxes of the machines with scrapped gears. An official looked at the light of the torch, and then took out a booklet and a knife from his arms.
He picked up a pen and began to record the wear and tear of several mechanical crossbow boxes with an expressionless face.
On the other hand, Wang Fu, director of the General Administration of Metallurgy and Manufacturing, took a few steps towards the door and looked at the corpses of thugs on the ground at the door with disdain.
"Just a few dozen people want to attack our Smelting General Administration? Are you crazy?"
After thinking about it, he turned around, waved his hand and said, "It's time to go back and study it again."
At the same time, a dozen thugs actually climbed over the wall quietly, and just as they jumped into the wall, several of the thugs clearly felt as if their feet had stepped on something similar to a thread.
Immediately, there were just a few pop-pop pop-pop sounds, and a burst of crossbow bolts were fired from two trees not far away, shooting the dozen thugs into sieves.
"..."
Hearing the movement near the wall in the distance, Wang Fu turned his head and took a look, and ordered: "Brothers from the Mo family from the Department of Government, go check and drag out the bodies. I don't want the soldiers to help us deal with the bodies tomorrow."
, our agency shot those guards into sieves..."
"Yes." Several Mohist craftsmen nodded.
So, when the soldiers of the Dredging Navy arrived at the General Metallurgy and Manufacturing Administration, they were shocked to find that the General Metallurgical and Manufacturing Administration, which in their subjective impression had no defense against enemies, had a pile of corpses of thugs piled inside the door.
Looking at the corpses with bruised flesh and blood, missing arms and legs, the dredging sergeants felt their scalps go numb.
Who says those civilian officials of the Smelting Bureau are incapable of lethality?
Don't forget, those terrible weapons of war were designed and improved by these civilian officials.
"Perhaps, this government office has the strongest defense capability in the entire Daliang..."
Glancing into the dark depths of the smelting department, the Junshui sergeants thought to themselves.
In fact, not only the official offices of the Smelting Bureau, but also many mansions in the city have demonstrated their ability to protect themselves in such a chaotic situation. Let alone the palaces of the princes, even the mansions of some of the great nobles and aristocratic families in the city, alone
The guards in the mansion are enough to keep those thugs out of the mansion.
Therefore, the biggest losses in this turmoil were actually the ordinary people in the city, followed by some minor nobles. In addition, some large nobles with defensive capabilities and the mansions of big families suffered almost no losses.
This is why Jie Ziu believes that Xiao Ni's rebellion is meaningless: in this way, it is impossible for Xiao Ni's rebellion to shake Daliang, the capital of the Wei Dynasty.
Sure enough, by the time the sky dawned, the rebellion in the city had basically been put down. Although some of Xiao Ni's remnants were still hiding, it was foreseeable that with the in-depth search that was about to be carried out by the Jun Shui Army, these rebellious officials and traitors basically had no way out.
.
But unfortunately, Xiao Ni's leader, Xiao Luan, returned to the city before the Daliang Rebellion. After experiencing the chaos, he quietly left the capital.
"What a pity..."
After taking advantage of the chaos and leaving Daliang, Xiao Luan, wearing a military uniform, stood on a hillock outside Daliang City, looking back at the capital of the Wei State.
It has to be said that in order to launch the rebellion last night, Xiao Luan paid a very heavy price: at least 70% of the spies he had planted in Daliang in the past ten years were exposed.
In contrast, he did not care about the deaths and injuries of those thugs he bribed with huge sums of money.
"But it's worth it. Through this series of chaos, other countries will see the "weakness" of Wei's "external strength but internal power"..."
In fact, Xiao Luan knew very well in his heart that the Wei State was not only not weak, but also getting stronger and stronger. This was the reason why he gradually lost his composure and couldn't help but want to launch the plan to "destroy the Wei State".
Because he realized that if it were delayed a few years and Wei became the overlord of the Central Plains, he would never have a chance for revenge.
"Will all the countries act as planned by the young master?" Jin Xu asked from the side.
"Yes, as long as they still want to become the overlord of the Central Plains, they will not give up the God-given opportunity to weaken Wei." Xiao Luan said confidently.
After hearing this, Jin Xu still had concerns on his face: "Having said that, in name..."
"In name?" Xiao Luan smiled faintly and said confidently: "We have great justice!"
After saying that, he looked back.
In the woods behind me, I saw two Xiao Ni pushing a man towards them.
This man with a frightened look on his face was clearly the one who pretended to be Zhao Yuanqi, the previous prince of the East Palace of Wei State, that night at the Zhongyang Palace.
"From today on, you are the legitimate prince of the Wei Dynasty, Zhao Si, who was usurped from the throne by the rebellious minister Zhao Si!"
