My husband Zhuge Kongming

Chapter 542 The 540 Incident Begins

It was night, and the entire Xiangyang City was filled with a tense atmosphere.

The sky is just a waning moon, accompanied by only twos and threes of starlight.

In farming civilization, midnight is the time when people meet the Duke of Zhou, but there are also countless dangers hidden in the dark night.

At a certain moment, someone seemed to say viciously, "Kill," and countless black shadows rushed towards the Sanwei Bookstore and the business next to the bookstore.

The sound of swords and shouts of killing were especially obvious in this silent night.

A huge log, hugged by several soldiers, crashed into the main door of the bookstore. With a bang, the wooden door did not last long before falling down.

"rush!"

"kill!"

Immediately afterwards, countless black figures rushed into the house one after another.

"shoot!"

At some point, someone vaguely heard such an instruction.

What he heard immediately was the sound of dense cracking in the air. Before his companions could bring the light of fire, the man felt pain in several places on his body. When he touched it, it turned out that an arrow made of steel was inserted into his body. The black armor fell down unwillingly, blood flowing all over the ground.

"Shoot again!"

"shoot!"

After several rounds of shooting, the attackers did not dare to act rashly and stopped rushing in.

"What should we do? The other party is actually on guard?"

"They are using steel crossbows, and the arrows they shoot are so powerful that we can't hit them!"

"Keep going! You can't stop now!"

To the west of the city, the merchant's warehouse was also attacked, but the counterattack had just begun.

Cai House.

Cai Mao was sleeping soundly when he heard the attendant's panicked voice, "Langjun! Langjun! It's bad, there's a fight!"

"Bastard, what's going on?" Cai Hao, who was sleeping soundly, was woken up and was very angry.

"The trading company is under attack!" the attendant quickly reported in a low voice.

"What? The business was attacked?" Cai Hao suddenly lost all sleep and got up from the bed, "Who attacked?"

"We don't know yet, but the sound of rushing and killing is loud, and there are a lot of fires. There are many thieves on both the west and east sides."

"Hiss!" Cai Mao took a breath. He wanted to say to mobilize the troops immediately, but at this time, he remembered that he was the governor now, and the power to mobilize the Xiangyang garrison was not in his hands. "Gather the guards at home and follow me forward." Go to the rescue, and at the same time, hurry up and tell General Yan to send troops to suppress it immediately!"

"No!" The attendant took the order and ran out.

Cai Hao got dressed with the help of the maid.

Suddenly, lights everywhere in the Cai family became brightly lit.

"Father, what happened?" Cai Zhao and Cai Ming were naturally alarmed.

"The business was attacked." Cai Mao said solemnly, "I don't know who the thief is yet."

The two brothers took a look, and after a while, Cai Mingcai said, "My child may know who the thief is."

Cai Hao looked at his eldest son and said, "Say."

"During this period, many people were dissatisfied with the dictates of the land system, and the boy had a few close friends, but they had few friends recently." Cai Ming said in a serious tone.

If it was as he suspected, tonight would be a sleepless night.

The fight between the aristocratic families is probably going to be endless.

"Which ones are there?" Cai Hao narrowed his eyes.

He is the governor, so he does not pay attention to the situation of the aristocratic families in the city. Furthermore, he has already comforted them before.

He didn't think that the Xiangyang aristocratic families would go against Huang Yueying. After all, it was a clear benefit. In the past few years, the major aristocratic families had accumulated more wealth than the previous generations.

But I didn't expect that someone would choose this method.

Although it was not a rebellion, it could even be defined as a personal enmity, but Cai Mao could see their thoughts at a glance.

Xinghan Trading Company was Liu Bei's most powerful supporter.

Similarly, the annual business of the trading house also makes all the major families jealous.

Eliminating the Xinghan trading houses may delay the promotion of the dictated land system, and also secure huge benefits for one's own family.

"Ma, Chen, Xiang, etc." "Ma family and Xiang family?" Cai Mao felt something was wrong. The power of these two families belonged to the top aristocratic families in Jingzhou.

If they were involved, this would not be a good thing today.

"Mr. Lang, everyone is ready!"

"Let's go!" Cai Hao took out a sword from the sword stand and led the way out.

Even with the participation of Jingzhou's top aristocratic families, he still wanted to keep the business.

Without him, the bright road of the Cai family lies with Liu Bei, and he must protect Liu Bei. What's more, the business is Huang Yueying's property.

Chu An, a hundred miles away.

"According to our speculation, there are not many businesses in Chu'an County." In the dark night, a young man said to the head of the Ma family next to him, "In addition, we have been in and out of Huang's Zhuangzi several times, and we found that they went to Zhuangzi There is an area that is heavily guarded."

"good."

"Therefore, I would make a bold guess that there must be something extremely important there."

"Then we will capture Huang's Zhuangzi, the wharf and the shipyard at the foot of Qingshan, and then give orders to go down and show respect to Duke Chengyan and the others," the head of the Ma family ordered.

"Uncle, don't worry. My nephew knows that it is our amulet."

"With your four thousand troops, capture the shipyard!"

"promise!"

"The rest of you, follow me and charge!"

"rush!"

All of a sudden, there were shouts of killing.

Most of these 9000 people had been deployed in nearby Huarong and other counties. They only waited for the leader to arrive before they assembled and launched an attack on the target.

The others followed from Xiangyang together with the head of the Ma family.

Inside Huang's Zhuangzi.

Zhuge Jun was wearing armor and looked at Huang Yin next to him, "Master Shuhu, tell me, why are they fighting?"

Huang Yin glanced at Zhuge Jun and said, "Lee."

"But this profit thing never ends! Do they really think they can control us?" Zhuge Jun was puzzled.

Over the years, the commercial bank's strength and development was obvious to all, and he never felt that anyone could take advantage of them.

"The villain is instigating, and the power makes the mind faint, it's nothing more than this."

Zhuge Jun sighed, that's all he could do.

The one in the north couldn't get any favor from Liu Bei, so he thought about bringing bad luck to the trading house.

But little did he know that Zhuangzi had already prepared these.

The armor worn by the guards of the trading company is a grade better than the ones for sale.

The steel crossbows that the guards had just assembled recently were able to shoot directly through iron armor.

Furthermore, the combat effectiveness of Chu'an's county soldiers is not weaker than Liu Bei's elite sergeants.

How can these ordinary guards who were slaves of aristocratic families fight?
Thinking of this, Zhuge Jun couldn't bear it, but at the same time, this strengthened his idea of ​​following Huang Yueying's footsteps.

Only by unifying the world and formulating rules can such a thing not happen.

Huang Yueying's home.

Huang Chengyan was reading a book in the study, while Mrs. Cai beside him was just filling the lamp with oil.

"It's coming." Huang Chengyan said.

Cai was silent, "I hope there won't be such turmoil on the other side of Xuchang."

"Over in Xuchang, the aristocratic families have been moved away by Cao Cao a long time ago. Such a thing will not happen. Madam, don't worry."

"Hey." Cai sighed and said nothing more.

Outside Huang's Village, countless figures rushed towards them, but at the same time, countless sounds of breaking through the air were heard, followed by various shrill screams.

The fight has already begun.

As the title.
