Chapter 69 Rebellion
Everyone sitting here has been silent for a long time, until Qian Ning said in a deep voice:
"Tell me, everyone, not only do they want money, but they also want our lives."

Everyone looked up, but they didn't speak, and the courtyard fell into silence again.

A thin old man dressed plainly looked around and saw that everyone was silent, coughed lightly and replied:

"Hey, we are all honest and responsible ordinary people. We only want to live our lives according to our duties, but this Mr. Yu from the capital is so greedy. What, what, what."

The old man's surname is Gu, and he is the head of the Gu family, a well-known family in the south of the Yangtze River. Households are comparable.

The old man has no official position and has never been an official, but his words are much more useful than Qian Ning, a second-rank Shangshu lord.

I saw a middle-aged man with a rough appearance and military boots on his feet, and said in a low voice:
"Old Linggong is right. We just want to live in peace of mind, but those elders in the court have always been envious of our Jiangnan's wealth. Even if we spend money to overcome this difficulty this time, there is no guarantee that we will not be more greedy next time. If you want me to say, let's just cut Yu Fei into meat and send it to the emperor, so that the court will know that Jiangnan is not so active."

Hearing this, everyone turned their eyes to Wei Guogong Xu Chu who was sitting with his eyes closed.

This is the most elite army of 3 soldiers in the south of the Yangtze River, stationed in Zijin Mountain outside the city, and the military power is held by the Duke of Wei.

In terms of strength, this duke is unique in the south of the Yangtze River. After hearing the words that Yu Fei was going to be chopped into meat, his first reaction was naturally to see how the duke expressed his opinion.

Cao Lan, the guarding eunuch, saw Xu Chu ignoring everyone's eyes, pretending not to see, and said anxiously in his heart:

"My old man, it's up to you to say something about whether this will work or not."

Xu Wu let out an "ah", looked at the crowd in a daze, and then sighed:

"Hey, this person, when you are old, you have to obey the old, everyone, you talk slowly, the old man is out of energy, and his ears are hard of hearing, so he left first."

After finishing speaking, he beckoned, and the two maidservants standing in the distance quickly stepped forward to support Xu Chu, and then walked out swayingly.

"Oh, old man. Old man."

Cao Lan was still shouting behind him, but Xu Chu didn't look back.

Qian Ning looked so gloomy that he could drip water, and said:

"Stop shouting, Eunuch Cao, how many soldiers and horses do you have at your disposal?"

Cao Lan let out an "ah" before replying:
"We only have a thousand helpers here, so I'm afraid it won't be of much use."

Qian Ning nodded, and began to ask these big Jiangnan families one by one. You have hundreds of people, and I have thousands. In the end, there are nearly 3 people. Thousands of desperadoes.

When asked about Nan Shaolin Fang Yuan, the Shaolin abbot clasped his palms together and recited the Buddha's name before saying:

"It's good, it's good, it's my duty to eliminate demons in the south, my lord, don't worry."

Yu Fei has now moved from the household department office to the Nanjing government office, so naturally the account book has also been taken away.

After listening to Yang Xu report the anomalies of these big Jiangnan clans, Yu Fei knew that the most important moment was coming.

After instructing Yang Xu a few words, Yang Xu bowed his head and agreed, but did not move.

"Huh? Is there anything else?"

After Yang Xu hesitated for a moment, he still bowed and said:

"My lord, you are a rich man, why take risks, why not let the lower officials sit here instead of your lord, and your lord go back to Beijing to rescue the soldiers first, and then come to wipe out the ghosts and monsters in the south of the Yangtze River, wouldn't it be better?"

After hearing Yang Xu's words, Yu Fei was stunned, then patted him on the shoulder with a smile and said:
"Yuzhi kindly accepts this official, but a mere gang of mobs can't threaten this official."

Yang Xu looked anxious and said:

"My lord, don't be careless. Wei Guogong has an elite army in his hands. If"

Before he finished speaking, Yu Fei interrupted with a smile and waved:
"Don't worry, Xu Chu won't be so unwise as to overwhelm the wealth of Wei Guogong's hundreds of years with mere money. Well, you have to guard against what you said. In this way, you send someone to hide at the west gate. Once something happens in the city , you lead people to take down the city gate, so you can leave a way out."

Yang Xu still wanted to persuade him again, but Yu Fei had already waved his hand to let him go down, so Yang Xu had no choice but to give up, hand in hand, turned around and strode away.

Yang Xu has been cooperating with Yu Fei to punish corrupt officials since Yu Fei was in Henan to control the flood. He has become the commander of the fourth rank.

Since then, he has been following Yu Fei.

Although he looked down on these mobs very much, Yu Fei would not be careless. He checked the terrain around the government office, and he knew where it was suitable for blocking, where it was suitable for cavalry assault, and where it was suitable for commanding the overall situation.

In the next few days, the city of Nanjing fell into a strange calm. The beheadings that could be seen every day in the past few days were gone, and the Jinyi guards who were often seen seemed to have disappeared. started to get lively.

By this time, both Yu Fei and those big Jiangnan clans had already known the opponent's plan, and it was already a showdown.

The Jiangnan clan knew that Yu Fei was prepared, but they were also confident that they had nearly 3 people, even with bare hands, they could beat Yu Fei to a pulp.

And Yu Fei has been waiting for this time, as long as he doesn't die, these people will commit a serious crime of rebellion, and it's useless for anyone to plead for mercy. If this crime is convicted in one fell swoop, at least half of the gentry and wealthy families in the south of the Yangtze River will be pulled down.

The big net covering Jiangnan will also be completely torn apart. At least in a hundred years, Jiangnan will be able to settle down.

On the evening of February [-]th in the seventh year of Zhengde.

The sky is clear, the bright moonlight is scattered in the city of Nanjing, and the curfew streets are silent.

Only the muffled sound of footsteps could be heard in the distance.

As time went by, the muffled sound became louder and louder, resounding throughout the street like a war drum.

The awakened people looked through the windows and saw men in black with swords and spears on the street.

With just one glance, he collapsed to the ground in fright, trembling and not daring to make any sound.

In the Nanjing government office, Yu Fei had already received the report before these people entered the city. I saw Yu Fei sitting in the government office in a suit of armor, and the Yingyang army was all fully dressed, sitting on a horse, holding his hand in his left hand. A crossbow, a saber in his right hand, and a long lance hanging from the victory hook.

"Report, the enemy has arrived at Kangzhuangfang."

"Explore and report again."

"Yes"

"Report that the enemy has begun to attack the government office."

"Oh, I see."

"The person who reported the suspected enemy commander has arrived at the Yanyang Tower."

"it is good"

After hearing that the person he was waiting for had appeared, Yu Fei let out a long laugh and shouted:
"Brothers, in this battle, you will surely become famous all over the world. Together with me, let those soft-legged shrimps outside see what an army is."

"Swear to follow the adults."
