After being exiled, I led my whole family to rebel.

Chapter 252 Busy Qi Er

However, when everyone went up with torches and took a closer look at the appearance of the incoming person, someone soon exclaimed: "No! They are green-headed thieves! The person coming -"

As soon as he finished speaking, a hot head fell to the ground!
Chang Zizi lifted his hat and cursed: "Damn, short hair is inconvenient because it is easy to be recognized! Otherwise, tell the city lord that we can keep our hair long in the future!"

The man next to him had already finished his killing spree, and said with a wild laugh: "How neat and neat that short hair is! The green-headed thief sounds so majestic!"

"That's right, long hair is very dirty and prone to lice. The worst we can do is let the guys from the research institute come up with wigs. We can put them on our heads and no one will recognize us!"

The speaker moved his spear forward, flicked the tip of the spear, and immediately killed another one.

"Damn it, you guys are talking so much nonsense during the war. The city lord is right behind. Why don't you be punished by running dozens of laps when he sees us chatting?"

"Yes, yes, we are still at war, we can't chat -"

The movement in Xingyuan Mansion soon woke up Feng'er.

She had been holding Xu Zhenying vaguely for the past few days, so she got everyone to the inn closest to the city gate early.

She also specially left someone on duty at night. When there was some movement in Xingyuan Mansion, the footsteps of someone holding a lantern underneath instantly woke her up.

Feng'er even slept with her clothes on, and there was a weapon beside her pillow. As soon as she opened her eyes and heard the movement in the city, she knew that Xu Zhenying's people were coming, and immediately said: "Quick, go get everyone up, and follow our previous instructions." Divide the work, shout slogans, and give each person a pound of copper. If something happens, throw it out to welcome the city lord into the city! "

Lian Shi had also woken up. She rushed over to Feng'er immediately, "Is it the city lord and the others who are attacking the city?"

Feng'er smiled slightly and said firmly: "It must be!"

"What are we going to do?"

"According to what was said before, Qi Er's side has sent acquaintances to sneak into several city gates to see if they can take the opportunity to cause trouble and capture a few city gates first. Minister Lian, you take the women to maintain order in the city and put out the lanterns. Light them all up to prevent the common people from running around."

Lian took the order and left, and Feng'er went out again to call the twenty soldiers who were ready to go: "You should rush into the government office immediately and capture all the prefect's family."

Zhao Qiaonian and others had woken up a long time ago. Seeing that everyone was busy but orderly, they felt a little anxious. This was the first time they met Xu Zhenying, so he had to get some kind of meeting gift.

Also anxious is Sun Qingchen, who went to Beijing this time to stab Xu Zhenying. He must be eager to make some achievements. Gu Yunxia has already gone out to help maintain order. They are the only ones who have not distributed tasks yet. I can only come to Feng'er shamelessly.

Feng'er then said with a smile: "Don't worry, there will be time for you to show off. Since the city lord has entered the city, we just need to cooperate and not let the people in the city make trouble. At present, other things have been arranged, Zhao Ban Boss, why not just come with me to pick him up? The city lord will definitely be happier to see you than to win the battle!"

The night was dark, but the streets of Xingyuan Mansion were bustling with excitement.

I don’t know who shouted: “The rebels from Jinzhou Prefecture are coming——”

One sound was louder than the other.

The people were so frightened by the sudden bad news that they either closed their doors or packed up their belongings and prepared to run away, for fear of being killed by the rebels who rushed in!
When the rebels enter the city, they will always be burned and killed for several days!
However, this time the rebel siege seemed to have a slightly different meaning.

First, there was a commotion at the south gate in the city, but then there was no movement.

No one set fire, no one took advantage of the chaos to rob, the streets seemed deserted, and it was quiet and elegant.

Instead, you could hear the sound of horse hooves, like thunder rolling across the ground.

The people couldn't help but be surprised, why were the rebels so quiet when they entered the city?

Where have the guards of Xingyuan Mansion gone?
Why is there no voice of resistance?

Soon, people came out of nowhere, banging gongs with gongs, and then someone repeated over and over again through the wall: "Xingyuan Prefecture has been occupied by soldiers from Jinzhou Prefecture! The prefect We were also arrested! Now our Jinzhou Prefecture has taken over Xingyuan Prefecture. All the people should close their doors and windows and don’t move around to avoid being mistaken for rebels! Everything will be the same after dawn tomorrow!

Someone trembled and stretched his neck to look.

Someone immediately asked: "What are they talking about outside?"

"They say our Xingyuan Mansion has been occupied by someone!"

"Is it the rebel leader from Jinzhou Prefecture? Why did the city fall so quickly without even starting a fight! Didn't we say that our Xingyuan Prefecture has a general guarding the city? Why didn't you hear anything?"

"Only the devil knows! I heard that it means we should not go out casually. We will be easily killed if we go out!"

"Didn't you say that the rebel in Jinzhou Prefecture was very capable? There were rumors a few days ago that he never killed innocent people indiscriminately in the place he occupied, let alone burned, killed, robbed and tortured. And didn't that salesman Xiaojia say that in Jinzhou Prefecture? Do the people over there still have their fields distributed? If it’s true, then even if the mountain king comes—”

"Shh, if you dare to say this, you will die!"

While the common people are trembling with fear, life for the wealthy households in Xingyuan Prefecture is even more difficult!

Everyone knows that once the city is destroyed, the first ones to suffer will be the parents and officials, followed by the wealthy households, and finally the women!
Although the wealthy households are naturally better informed, and some people even secretly cooperate with them in small businesses such as selling pencils and Lanxian pigs, they probably know Jinzhou Prefecture better than the prefect.

They naturally knew that there was a rising rebel in Jinzhou Prefecture, who loved the people like his own children, and had strong financial resources. The Nalan County pigs alone brought in an unknown amount of income in a year.

Perhaps only the magistrate Yan, who only knew romance all day long, could not notice the coming crisis.

At this moment, Old Man Lin and his family were all dressed and standing neatly in the lobby, looking at Old Man Lin with sad faces.

The sound of gongs coming from outside made people's hearts skip a beat!
"Dad, why don't we pack up and run!"

"Run, where are you running? I just heard from the person next door that the four gates in the southeast, northwest and northwest have been occupied by rebels. Where are we running?!" Old Man Lin's eldest daughter-in-law held her newborn grandson in her arms. With a sad look on his face: "If I had known better, I wouldn't have done this soap business. I didn't have to make the business so big, but instead I became a thorn in others' eyes!"

"That's right, what if they rob us of our money? There is still this year's soap dividend that has not been paid! If Mr. Xu sends someone to check the accounts, how can we fill the hole of hundreds of thousands of taels of silver! What's more! His contract is written in such detail that there is no way to exploit any loopholes, so we will lose everything!"

"I'm afraid my life is almost gone, why do I care about money?! Who knows where Mr. Xu is? I'll tell you when he comes to check the accounts! These are all things done by rebels. He can't count them all in our Lin family. on your head!”

"Oh, if you ask me, rather than waiting for the rebels to come to settle the matter, I would rather donate it directly!"

Old man Lin raised his hand to interrupt the chatter of the juniors. He sat in the Taishi chair with a panicked expression on his face, "That's not necessarily true. Although the mountains and rivers in Jinzhou Mansion are high and far away, I have heard that Jinzhou Prefecture has high mountains and rivers. The rebels in the state capital are very disciplined in their work and rarely go on a killing spree."

Lin Mushan, the eldest son of Old Man Lin, said: "Dad, my son heard from the salesmen that the rebel leader in Jinzhou Prefecture is different from ordinary bandits. He managed Jinzhou Prefecture in order in less than a year. Everyone, listen again tonight With this siege, they took down Xingyuan Mansion effortlessly, and they didn't hear any noise since they entered the city. Thinking about it, maybe it was just like the rumors in the city before, that the rebel leader was really up to something big. People! Let’s wait and see what happens!”

Old Man Lin could only nod his head, "That's all. Let everyone be alert and don't sleep too much! Keep this guy with you and shout to inform you if there is any situation!"

And the same thing is happening to the Qi family.

Since Qi Er and Xu Gongzi cooperated in business, they have moved almost all their belongings to Xingyuan Mansion. In addition to the thousands of acres of cotton hills, the Qi family's prosperity has been noticed by those who are interested, and they are even more greedy in their hearts.

Qi's father and Qi's mother were as anxious as ants on a hot pot, and they saw that Qi Er's husband had a normal look on his face. He didn't seem to worry about Qi Er who was running away at all, but he was very angry.

My daughter is capable, but her son-in-law is useless!

It's also their fault that in order to preserve the family property and not want to adopt a side branch of wolfish ambitions, they randomly chose a man with a clean and easy-to-manage family background.

This is a good idea, but unfortunately the relationship between the son-in-law and the daughter does not seem to be compatible. The daughter is focused on cooperating with Mr. Xu, while the son-in-law is preoccupied with entertaining birds and watching flowers.

The woman who got married wanted her son-in-law to become a wife, but was also afraid that her son-in-law would become a wife. In short, looking around, she always felt bored.

Qi's mother couldn't hold back, grabbing her handkerchief and getting angry at her son-in-law: "Tonight, Xingyuan Mansion is in chaos, but I don't see you worrying about my daughter, let alone asking, are you still my Qi family's son-in-law?"

Qi Er's husband-in-law didn't care about his mother-in-law's anger. He crossed his legs leisurely and listened to the commotion outside as if watching the fun. "Mom, don't worry, Qi Er is very capable! She is not with that one Did Miss Feng'er fight like crazy? Did she even say that she was going to Henan Mansion to ask Boss Zhao to collect the cotton clothes? Damn it, I might not be your Qi family's son-in-law soon!"

Qi's mother was angry: "What do you mean by this? My daughter is running around outside day and night for the sake of this family. You don't tell her to take care of the housework at home, but you still dare to throw dirty water on her?"

Mr. Qi Er's husband-in-law narrowed his eyes and smiled, feeling as if he had broken a pot. "Look, why are you still angry after telling the truth? I am just a raft you use to keep your business. Don't worry, if Qi Er wants to kick me out, I will I don’t mind, as long as the price is satisfactory, everything will be fine. I won’t stop her and Boss Zhao’s good deeds.”

"You!" Qi's mother was so angry that she covered her chest. Unexpectedly, a maid came to report happily, "Madam, the girl is back! The girl is back!"

Qi Er was dressed in a smart outfit, with a narrow waist and a black cloak. She walked leisurely. Even though there was chaos outside, there was no panic on her face, but a calm joy.

Qi's father and Qi's mother hurriedly rushed forward, hugged her and cried out "son!"

Qi Er looked at his elderly parents and hurriedly said, "My daughter is unfilial and makes her parents worried!"

Qi's father said: "What's going on today? I just heard someone saying that the rebels in Jinzhou Prefecture are coming?! Later, I heard someone say again that we should not go out. Where have you been? Did you see anything on the way here? Those rebels?"

Qi Er didn't know what to say to his parents, so he gave some random words of comfort: "It is true that the rebels from Jinzhou Prefecture have entered the city. They have occupied four city gates, and now they have broken into the prefect's house to take away people!"

Qi's mother turned pale with fright, "Didn't you say that people from Jinzhou Prefecture are very disciplined in doing things?"

"Mother, they didn't kill innocent people indiscriminately when they entered the city. They just shot and killed the guards at the city gate, which was considered a mercy. Besides, how can there be no bloodshed in this war? Now they go to the prefect's house to get people, not to kill them."

But Qi's father only cared about themselves, "What about us people? Will the king come to plunder us?"

Qi Er shook his head, "Don't worry, I have discovered along the way that these people are very disciplined in doing things. For now, let's stay locked up. When tomorrow dawns, everything will be the same as before! Just think of it as a new prefect." !”

Qi's father was a little puzzled. Qi Er was a little unusual today.

The war was in turmoil, but she came back with only two girls. Her words not only meant to protect the rebels, but she also seemed to know everything about them.

But Qi's father didn't think much about it, "Oh, then our Xingyuan Mansion has become the territory of the rebels! Isn't there Zhou Cangwu who is guarding the city? Has he surrendered to the thieves? Otherwise, where would the gate of Xingyuan Mansion be? Are you being pushed away so easily?"

"It is said that Zhou Cangwu is dead. They had a fierce battle outside the city. Most of the elite members of Xingyuan Mansion died, and the rest all defected to the rebels."

Qi Er naturally did not talk about his role in this.

Her parents are very old, and they don't know how to react if they find out that she is colluding with the rebels and acting in harmony with each other.

Father Qi kept shaking his head and sighing, seemingly not understanding the fact that Xingyuan Mansion was occupied by rebels overnight.

Qi Er comforted his parents and looked at the sky outside. He thought that since he had done so much, he had to go out and show his face in front of Xu Zhenying. He hurriedly said to his parents: "Father and mother, I just came back to see you." Take a look to confirm that you are okay. Please keep the door closed and don’t rush out to inquire for information. I have something to do and need to go first.”

Qi's mother pulled her and refused to leave: "Where are you going in the middle of the night? What's more, there are rebels outside -"

"Mother, I still need to send someone to guard Mianmian's side, and there is still something going on over Feng'er's side. Don't worry, I have brought enough people with me, and I will never let anything happen to me. I will tell you everything in detail when I come back - "

Regardless of the objections of his father and mother, Qi Er walked out with only two or three girls.

The second husband-in-law of Qi shook his head, curled his lips, and said nothing from the beginning to the end.

No matter what, he is just a mere son-in-law. Who in the Qi family would take him seriously?
