The crossbows were ringing and they shot continuously.
Immediately one by one the common people were hit by arrows, but most of them were shot in the legs and were injured but did not die.
As the crossbow arrows were fired, the angry people suddenly became panicked, and someone shouted again: "Run quickly, the dog officer is going to kill someone!"
"Run quickly, the dog officer is going to kill someone!
"Run quickly!"
"Run quickly, the dog officer is going to kill people and silence them!"
Suddenly, the people panicked and fled for their lives. There was constant stampeding and panic, and they began to run around. The original disorder became even more disorderly, and the chaos was intensifying.
Chicken feathers were flying all over the floor.
"Chase!" Li Gong shouted: "This group of rebellious people dare to besiege the government office. This is rebellion!"
"Chase!"
Hua Wuying said the same thing, and led his guards to chase after them, focusing on those noisy people.
Li Mu coughed up a mouthful of blood from the corner of his mouth. Just now, the dagger pierced his skin, and the poison invaded. He immediately sat on the ground, running the longevity formula, and began to heal. Sun Mengxi, Liu Qingchan, Heihu, etc.,
Be vigilant and guard your surroundings.
The longevity formula was running, and the longevity formula was endless, and it was very effective in expelling poison. However, after a quarter of an hour, he opened his mouth and spit out poisonous blood and stood up.
"Little Marquis, where is Princess Hua?"
Li Mu asked.
"They went to chase the rebels!" Sun Mengxi said.
"I hope there won't be any bloodshed..." Li Mu sighed, the situation was a bit out of control.
In other words, by catching Magistrate Zheng's corruption, the case has been closed and the case can be handed over. But Li Mu is not willing to give in, Hua Wuying is not willing to give in, and Li Gong is not willing to give in either. The three of them are unwilling to give in and want to continue to cause trouble.
At any moment, when you want to pull out the carrot and bring up the mud, the situation is out of control.
No one knows how bad it will get in the next step.
But giving up halfway is impossible!
…………
Li Mu stood up and was about to say something.
Suddenly, a crackling sound was heard, and the fire in the government office soared into the sky, and the smoke rose up, seeming to burn everything, and seeming to turn into endless destruction.
"No, sir!"
"No, it's gone!"
"It's gone!"
Immediately a yamen official reported this.
Li Mu's heart skipped a beat, good fortune never comes alone, misfortunes never come alone.
Quickly walked to the backyard.
There is a fire in the backyard of the government office.
Most of the government offices are wooden buildings. With the fire burning, many houses are on fire. The fire is spreading, expanding and sweeping, turning into billowing smoke. The beams of some houses are making crackling sounds. It seems that they can't hold on for long.
It's going to collapse.
The fire is burning, and the fire continues to expand. If it is not controlled, the entire government office may be turned into a sea of fire.
Soon, government officials came forward to organize fire-fighting activities. Some servants were splashing water, others were splashing sand, and some were beating the fire. Some people were already building isolation zones with the mud.
After a fire breaks out, the first thing that comes to mind is not how to put out the fire or put out the fire, but to establish an isolation zone to prevent the flames from spreading.
It is said that last year, during the winter when the weather was dry, a fire broke out in Jinling Mansion and burned down two streets. If the isolation zone had not been established in time, the losses would have been even more severe.
Five water dragons were spraying water, and rescue efforts were continued, and the fire was under control.
Li Mu breathed a sigh of relief.
"Sir, there is a problem here!" Liu Qingchan said, "Come here!"
As he spoke, he walked to a large water tank.
This water tank is about one meter high and one to five meters in diameter. It is also called the Taiping Tank.
In this era, buildings were mainly made of wood. Wooden buildings are easy to catch fire, so many large families often have several large water tanks in their courtyards to put out fires in time. Near the backyard of the government office, there are twelve water tanks.
A large water tank, twelve water tanks were broken at this moment.
Liu Qingchan said again: "The tools for fighting fires are mainly pumps, peace jars, water dragons, etc., but twenty of the pumps are broken and only ten are intact; all twelve of the fire jars are broken; as for the water dragons, there are ten
Three, but five are broken."
"Sir, this fire was man-made... someone deliberately lit a fire in the backyard and deliberately destroyed the fire-extinguishing equipment!"
"Someone set a fire..." Li Mu frowned: "As expected!"
It's like when the police want to investigate criminals, the criminals smash the windows of the police's house or even kidnap children.
"not good!"
Li Mu suddenly thought of something: "The young marquis and the princess are back!"
"not yet!"
"They are in danger!" Li Mu said: "Mobilize the guards quickly, and five hundred guards will set off together to rescue the princess and the young marquis!"
Immediately, the guards around him started to move quickly.
Li Mu also put on light armor and moved quickly.
Sensing the breath, he followed them... I just hoped they were safe.
About a quarter of an hour later, the sound of fighting came from the front, and Hua Wuying and Li Gong were surrounded. There were men in black surrounding them with murderous intent. The situation was very bad, and there were already several corpses lying on the ground.
over there.
As if sensing the arrival of reinforcements, the men in black roared and disappeared.
Li Mu was about to chase him, but he gritted his teeth and decided to let it go!
Li Gong's chest was heaving, his breath was a little messy, he was sweating all over, and he was panting. There were already three bloody wounds on his body, revealing the inner armor. The inner armor withstood most of the injuries, and the serious injuries turned into minor injuries. Otherwise, this time
The young prince is in danger.
Hua Wuying was also slightly embarrassed. He had no inner armor and was wearing a silver-white battle armor. The battle armor withstood most of the damage, but there was no blood. But at the moment, his face was black and he had been poisoned. He was running the technique at full strength.
, the true energy is flowing, forcing the toxins from the body.
They were injured, and when they went out, there were a hundred guards accompanying them; but now, most of them were injured, ranging from serious injuries to minor injuries. Thirty-two of them were dead, including three innate warriors.
This pursuit was not smooth and resulted in heavy casualties.
"There are traitors mingling with the people, constantly making noises, making troubles, and bullying ordinary people. They are the masterminds behind the scenes. We came to arrest them, but when we arrived on this street, we were directly surrounded and suffered heavy losses. If it weren't for you
Timely rescue comes, I may die, the young Marquis may die... I will not give up until I take revenge!" Hua Wuying said through gritted teeth.
These guards were all close friends, but now they are dead.
Li Gong didn't say anything, but he gritted his teeth.
Hatred rose in my heart, along with a trace of fear.
Almost!
Almost!
If Li Mu's rescue was delayed any longer, they might all be killed.
Unlike any capture operations in the past, those operations usually easily crushed the enemy, but this time the entire army was almost wiped out.
There was a fierce battle just now, and I didn't feel anything, but now I think about it, and I feel scared, scared, scared!
Death is so close to them.
Li Mu said: "Inciting the people to cause trouble, and letting the government release goods, and encircling and killing them halfway, is a good method, a good method!"
