Changsheng: My qualifications improve a little every day

Chapter 162 The war broke out

"What? What did you say?"

"Wang Zili and Wei He from Xiahe County were killed? Were they the two assassins who attacked the Wang family in the city?"

The pity in Wang Xianzun's heart had not yet dissipated. When he heard the message from the sergeant, he immediately frowned.

How could this be?
Those two audacious men actually dared to kill people here!
And they actually succeeded?
The people who deserved to die were not dead, but the two people who should not have died died.

At this moment, Mr. Wang Xianzun didn’t know what to say.

When he saw the bodies of the two men, he quickly ordered his sergeants to search the mountain to find the two assailants.

After the order was given, he looked at Fang Yue.

"Hey, I didn't expect that something like this would happen." Wang Xianzun sighed, and then continued: "I don't know, when was the last time Mr. Fang saw Wang Zili?"

Fang Yue's heart trembled slightly when he heard this, and he immediately understood that the King County Lord was doubting him.

But he was not lying, and he immediately came up with a set of rhetoric that he had prepared long ago.

The last time he saw Wang Zili was in Feiyun Village, and then he was entangled by the remnants of Feiyun Village and left the bandit village.

Then, he managed to get rid of several gangsters, and when he returned to Feiyun Village, Wang Zili was gone.

As for why Wang Zili left and why he was with Wei He, he didn't know.

"That being the case, there is something I hope Mr. Fang will agree to." Wang Xianzun also asked. After all, the soldiers had seen the murderer, and the two murderers had committed crimes in the city before.

Others don't know, but his relationship with the Wang family naturally knows the inside story.

These two people were descendants of the Chen family and the Lin family, two other families in Wenxi County. They came to Wenxi County to attack and kill the Wang family's children, obviously to avenge their respective families.

Actually, that was the question I just asked.

"Sir, please tell me." Fang Yue asked.

"After returning home, I said that Wang Zili died in a fierce battle with thieves. In this way, it is easier to explain to the Wang family, and it will not tarnish the name of the Wang family." Wang Xianzun said with a sigh.

"It should be like this, it should be like this."

How could Fang Yue disagree? The aristocratic family still cares about reputation. It cannot be said that members of their Wang family died one after another at the hands of their enemies.

If word spreads, it will greatly affect the prestige of the Wang family.

It will also make many families oppressed by the Wang family ready to take action.

Besides, if he died while suppressing bandits, the court would have to compensate him no matter what.Death in a vendetta means nothing.

Whether it is to maintain your reputation or obtain some benefits, handling it this way is the best choice.

That day, until it got dark, the soldiers found nothing.

This is naturally what everyone expected. If you really want to search and hunt, relying on these ordinary soldiers alone will definitely be useless.

In fact, all the military attaches present knew that the murderers must have fled after they succeeded.

But the work that needs to be done still needs to be done.

After searching here for another two days, Wang County Zuncai ordered to return to Wenxi County.

~~~~~~~
That night.

This is the first day back to Wenxi County, back to my home.

Fang Yuecai took out the loot he got this time.

I didn't bother to count the banknotes or anything like that. Anyway, at a glance, they were only a few thousand taels.

Mainly because of the letter he got from the Qi Sensing Martial Master at Blood Dragon Terrace, Fang Yue was a little curious as to what would be written in the secret letter he kept close to his body.

Tear open this secret letter that has not yet been opened.

Just a glance.

Fang Yue's brows furrowed. There was only one sentence in it. The incident in Shenjing was defeated, and uprisings began in various places.

"Failure in Shenjing? Revolt?"

Looking at the words in his heart, Blood Dragon Platform was planning something big in Shenjing City, but now it has failed.

After failure, they will start an uprising. Are they preparing to rebel?

Why did Blood Dragon Platform rebel?

It should be noted that in this world, force belongs to oneself, and the Wei Dynasty has the strongest force, which is enough to suppress all places.

It is difficult for ordinary people to successfully rebel.

Just like the memories in his mind, very few feudal dynasties had ever truly perished at the hands of the peasant army.

Most of those who achieve success come from extraordinary backgrounds.

Therefore, in this world, why does the Blood Dragon Platform rebel?

Maybe, I just think too much.

Fang Yue couldn't help but ponder, but although he didn't really believe that Blood Dragon Terrace was going to rebel, he still secretly made up his mind to take a few days off and go back to his hometown.

The next day, Fang Yue and Wang Xianzun took leave, and then drove Jian Cong back to Xiahe County alone.

I didn't expect that after just a few months in Wenxi County, I would have to go back again.

Fang Yue left Wenxi County early in the morning and embarked on the road back to Xiahe County.

~~~~~~
But at this time, Daze Town, Wenxi County.

"Listen up, you mud-legged people. Your Majesty is going to worship heaven and pray for blessings and build a deer platform this year, so you will increase the tax by [-]% this year."

In the central square of the town, the tax collectors were shouting loudly.

Hearing this, some villagers also turned pale.

These taxes are much more than what is usually deducted from their food.

"Sir, the harvest this year is not good, so we really can't come up with so much food."

"Yes, our fields are small to begin with. If we increase it again, we will really be doomed!"

"Sir, please give me a little more grace. It's really not enough!"

"."

"Hmph, please be quiet. Anyone who dares to make any noise will be guilty of defying the imperial court and will be beheaded." The officer sneered and said, "Okay, let's start now and hand over the food!"

Seeing how inhuman these wolf-like government officials were, several shouts rang out from the crowd.

"With such a tax burden, if I pay it all this year, I will starve to death. If I pay it, I will die. If I don't pay it, I will die. What a bastard!"

"Yeah, let's go together and kill these bastards."

"."

A burst of shouts broke out from the crowd, and everyone suddenly opened their eyes angrily and rushed towards the government officials.

Several government officials sneered. No matter how hard it was, they had some skills and were much stronger than these farmers. This kind of thing had happened in the past.

But as long as they take action and kill a few leaders, the blood of the remaining people will be cold.

However, this time is different.

As soon as these government officials were about to suppress them, arrows shot from nowhere, killing the most powerful government officials immediately.

The few remaining government officials were immediately completely drowned in the hands of these angry farmers.

After seeing the blood and killing the government officials, there was no way out.

Immediately, these farmers who were honest and responsible one moment, turned into thieves the next moment.

At the same time, in the thirty or so towns under the jurisdiction of Wenxi County, the same scene was played out one after another.

Soon, these farmers who were forced to 'revolt' gathered a team of tens of thousands and began to march towards Wenxi County. ~~~~~~~
"This is Daqiu Town. There is indeed chaos. Someone is really rebelling!"

This is already the third market town Fang Yue has passed since entering Xiahe County.

But without exception, they all looked like they had experienced banditry.

Fang Yue learned from some of the people who fled that it was the local farmers who could not bear the oppression of taxes and killed the government officials and rebelled.

Judging from the news that has been gathered in the past few days, the scale of the rebellion is getting bigger and bigger, and among these rebels, there are a group of warriors active, and it is precisely because of the existence of this group of warriors.

Only then can the scale of the rebellion that could have been easily suppressed continue to expand.

Looking at it this way, what was written on the letter from the Blood Dragon Platform was actually true.

Hey, the water is deep.

Even Fang Yue didn't dare to think about an underground organization whose name he hadn't heard many times.It can actually cause turmoil.

And depending on the situation, I'm afraid the entire Shanyang Mansion will be in chaos.

However, now is obviously not the time to think about this. We must get to Xiahe County as soon as possible.

Fang Yue took a deep breath and immediately ran towards Xiahe County.

After galloping day and night, we finally saw the city wall of Xiahe County in the afternoon of the next day.

When he arrived at the gate of Xiahe County, Fang Yue discovered that a long queue had lined up at the gate of the county.

There were villagers carrying their families, and it was obvious that most of them must have escaped.

The line had no end in sight.

The number of people is probably in the tens of thousands.

Naturally, Fang Yue would not wait in line here, but squeezed to the city gate, revealed his identity as a martial arts officer, and entered the city easily.

At this time, Xiahe County will naturally not reject the military examiners. After all, one more martial arts examiner is equivalent to thousands more sergeants.

For the defense of the city, it is of great significance.

~~~~~~~
at the same time,

Xiahe County, Fang Family Courtyard.

In the main hall, candles have been lit, and everyone in the Fang family is gathered here.

"What can I do? How dare those people rebel? The officers and soldiers have been defeated. What can I do? My pig is still in Wenxi County, and I don't know what is going on now!"

Mrs. Chen's face was full of worry, her eyes were red, and she was running around in circles in the hall anxiously.

The rest of the people were silent, and their thoughts were in confusion.

Because, they have never experienced this kind of thing.

Usually there are some villages and towns that get into trouble because of tax issues, but those are either quickly suppressed or become refugees and flee.

Where has something like this happened? A large-scale bandit army has formed and is about to attack the county.

Once those bandits are allowed to break through the county's defense line, the entire county will be in danger.

"Mom, don't worry. I think brother He will be fine. He is a martial arts scholar!" Fang Cheng said comfortingly.

"Yeah, Fang Cheng, you are right, Shi'er will be fine." Father Fang also nodded quickly.

At this moment, a servant suddenly came to report that the second young master was back.

Everyone in the Fang family, who was still gloomy and gloomy at first, suddenly looked happy.

"Mom and Dad, I'm back." At this moment, Fang Yue walked into the main hall.

Seeing that Fang Yue was indeed back, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"She'er, you're finally back!" Before she could say anything, Mrs. Chen eagerly took Fang Yue's hand, her eyes moist, and she said excitedly.

Next, the family reminisced about old times.

Time passed slowly, and in a blink of an eye it was the third day after Fang Yue returned to Xiahe County.

On this day, a bright yellow flag was finally raised outside the city.

There is a blood dragon embroidered on the flag, but on the other side is the word Wu Cheng.

"Wu Chengwang?"

Upon hearing the news, a name immediately appeared in Fang Yue's mind.

King Wu Cheng was the uncle of the current emperor of the Wei Dynasty. There were rumors that the emperor's position should belong to King Wu Cheng. However, King Wu Cheng's brother, the former emperor of the Wei Dynasty, used conspiracy to Conspiracy to seize the throne.

Now, is King Wucheng finally going to take back the throne from his nephew?

Therefore, behind the Blood Dragon Platform is King Wucheng.

King Wu Cheng's plan in Shenjing failed, so he had no choice but to raise his troops to rebel?
However, can the farmers who want to rely on these coercions really succeed?
Just as Fang became more confused.

Far away in the Sitian Prison in Shanyang Mansion, Hui Hengli looked at the Heaven and Earth Symbol in the main hall.

The whole person's face looked extremely ugly.

On this bronze sphere-shaped armillary sphere, dozens of light points flicker on and off, and a few light points have even dimly extinguished.

"This King Wucheng is like this. He knows that he can't succeed, so he wants to give it a try even at the expense of the entire Shanyang Mansion!"

Hui Hengli gritted his teeth, his face almost distorted.

Among the 13 state capitals in the two capitals of the Wei Dynasty, all those close to the border had a celestial and earth-like instrument.

This object is an ancient artifact that has been handed down from ancient times. It has no other function. It just marks the nodes for suppression and banning.

If so, these nodes are normal, then it is a light spot.

If you look carefully, you will find that these nodes are actually counties under Shanyang Prefecture.

If the county town is breached, then the node will also be breached, and the light spot will be extinguished.

Once more than half of the light points are extinguished, the ancient seal will be broken.

By then, those ancient enemies that have been suppressed may return to the world.

"You should be killed for doing such a thing for your own selfish gain! Damn it!" Fei Hengli gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with cold light.

"Come here, send the order, tell the palace master about this matter, and let the palace master make a decision as soon as possible!"

"Yes, my lord!"

On the side, an old man in gray clothes responded.

~~~~~~~
"Master Fang, the county has invited you."

On the second day after the rebels surrounded Xiahe County, people from the Yamen came to Fang's house.

There is no airtight wall in the world. Despite the Fang family's repeated orders to keep it secret, the news of Fang Yue's return was still known to the government.

Liu Zheng would naturally not let go of a martial arts practitioner, especially a martial arts practitioner who had achieved great success in Yi Mui, not to mention that this person had conflicts with him.

This kind of person naturally has to be on the front line.

"I know, I'll go right away." Fang Yue nodded and followed the visitor out of Fang's house.

There is now martial law outside, and there are no pedestrians on the streets at all.

Fang Yue soon arrived at the city head and saw Liu Zheng in armor.

"Haha, I didn't expect that nephew Fang Yue has returned to our Xiahe County. This is really a happy event. With my nephew's help this time, I will be more confident in defending the city this time."

Before Fang Yue could speak, Liu Zheng spoke first.
