From a son-in-law to a favorite of the empress

What is Waxiang? It is the largest slum in Yunzhou City, where a group of people who have no land and no livelihood live by stealing and begging.

This is the impression of most Yunzhou people about it. In fact, there are indeed a lot of people there who are involved in stealing and begging, but most people still rely on working to make a living.

How to work? Working as a laborer at Yunjiang Wharf, building houses and moving bricks for rich people, or going up the mountain to cut trees and mine.

It is almost a restricted area for other people. As long as you go there, there will be no good end.

There is a similar joke in the market: "The people in Waxiang are warm and hospitable. Mr. Zhou went there in a carriage and came back in shorts."

Casinos, gangs, bandits, countless complex forces are intertwined there, and the constables can't control them.

The previous head of Yunzhou died there. He ran in alone to catch wanted criminals. Relying on his strong martial arts, he didn't care about the so-called danger at all.

Then he never came out again.

After Zhao Cheng took office, he bribed the people in one of the casinos and learned the specific details of the case.

After the head of the police entered, he was first splashed with water, then sprinkled with lime, and finally trapped by a large amount of smoke and shot to death by a homemade bow and arrow.

A martial arts skill, but useless.

After Ye Qingying took office, although she was bold and dared to break into the Baihua Pavilion, in fact, she did not dare to go to Wa Lane.

So the news of the old shopkeeper was explosive.

The mob in Wa Lane was really chaotic, and it was no joke.

Qu Ling was an outsider and did not understand the seriousness of the matter. He just looked at Zhou Yuan in confusion.

Zhou Yuan was startled and exclaimed: "What's going on!"

The old shopkeeper said: "The specific situation is that the streets are full of burning, killing and looting! They are almost here!"

"These rioters are holding weapons, hoes, sickles, hammers, sticks, and swords!"

Zhou Yuan's figure was shocked and his brows frowned immediately.

Burning, killing and looting all over the streets? And they are all holding weapons?

Then this riot can't be spontaneous, there must be someone behind the scenes inciting and organizing it!

He shouted: "Where are the government? What are the government doing!"

The old shopkeeper said: "The government's people have been dispersed!"

Bullshit! Those police chiefs are at least a few hundred people, and their combat effectiveness is still very strong. It is impossible for them to be dispersed by the mob!

Mobs are always bullying the weak and fearing the strong. When facing civilians, they will hit hard, burn, kill, loot and commit all kinds of evil, but when facing soldiers, they will only run away.

Could it be... not just a mob?

This thought made Zhou Yuan break out in a cold sweat.

Now that the Jinyiwei Tiqi have all gone out to quell the riot in Qingshan County, the constables in Yunzhou City can't control the situation at all, and real soldiers are needed to go out.

But if the soldiers at the four gates have already gone out, how could the whole city riot?

Damn, those soldiers will not be dealt with!

"Boss! The mob is coming! What should I do!"

The voice of the guy downstairs trembled.

Zhou Yuan hurried downstairs to take a look, and was immediately scared and sweating. He saw dozens of soldiers wearing armor and iron helmets, holding sharp swords, and rushing forward frantically, forcing the soldiers to retreat step by step.

They were carrying thousands of mobs, smashing houses crazily, robbing money, and insulting women. The whole street was in a mess.

Damn it! Is this a mob?

This is clearly a traitor!

Armor! Are these the two hundred and forty sets of armor that were lost before?

Damn! Qingshan County was just trying to lure the tiger out of the mountain, and the armor didn't leave the city at all!

Two hundred and forty sets of armor, and so many rioters, and they broke out in Yunzhou City. Of course, the police officers and soldiers can't suppress this.

"Close the door! Close the door!"

Zhou Yuan roared, don't think about anything at this time, saving your life is the most important thing.

Mo Yunzhai is the focus of robbery. Zhou Yuan has seen the rioters in the distance notice this side.

He rushed upstairs and said to Qu Ling: "It's really a big deal, everything is a conspiracy!"

"The Wusheng Sect has coaxed the Waxiang mob to rebel, and the 240 sets of armor are unstoppable. The Yunzhou City Defense Camp has 3,000 troops, and it can be suppressed in one day at most."

Qu Ling is a woman after all, and she has never seen such a scene. She opened the window and took a look. She was so scared that her face turned pale and she slammed the window.

"What, what should I do!"

Qu Ling trembled and said, "What if the mob comes to kill us!"

How the hell do I know what to do? This is the first time I have encountered such a thing!

Zhou Yuan shouted: "Boss, tell the guys to block the door with cabinets and bookshelves as long as they can."

"Okay...Okay!"

The shopkeeper hurried downstairs to give orders, and the heavy bookshelves were carried to the door by four or five people, blocking the door tightly.

There was already a sound of banging on the door outside., the mob completely occupied the street and began to loot property.

There were roars and cries everywhere, and the whole world seemed to be in chaos.

Hearing this, Qu Ling couldn't help but tremble all over, her face was extremely flustered, and her emotions were about to collapse.

"Calm down!"

Zhou Yuan grabbed her hand, held it tightly, and said in a deep voice: "The mob is a mob after all. No matter how many there are, three thousand soldiers are enough to deal with them."

Qu Ling trembled and said: "What...what's going on?"

Zhou Yuan's face was livid and he fell into deep thought.

What's going on?

From the theft of the armor, it was probably a conspiracy.

Now it seems that they have enough manpower in the city, so why do they still hire the group of dead people to transport it?

And they killed that group of people and deliberately let the government investigate.

Then the government naturally found out everything and judged that the armor had been transported out of the city.

As soon as something happened in Qingshan County, the nervous Jinyiwei would definitely go to Qingshan County, which was like a tiger away from the mountain.

In fact, this was only one of the purposes. The real purpose of the Wusheng Sect was to use the case of stolen armor to lock the Jinyiwei's attention, so as to secretly prepare for the riot.

Otherwise, the riot in Waxiang was still in the preparation stage, and it was already discovered by the Jinyiwei's secret agents. There was no riot at all.

Everything is a trap!

Only this moment is real!

So... Wusheng Sect has put so much effort into this, is it just to be suppressed by the soldiers?

Impossible!

The city defense camp may not be able to support Yunzhou!

We can only wait for the Jinyiwei to come back!

Damn, that will take at least two days, how can we spend these two days!

Zhou Yuan's mentality is about to explode. Not only is he worried about his own safety, he is also worried about Zhao Jianjia and Xue Ningyue.

This city is not without people he cares about!

He felt the little hand in his hand was very cold and trembling slightly.

Looking up at Qu Ling, this shrewd and generous business woman, she was already at a loss at this moment.

Zhou Yuan stood up and said in a deep voice: "There is always a way out! Fight to the death!"

"Shopkeeper! Are there any weapons in Mo Yun Zhai?"

The shopkeeper smiled bitterly and said: "This is a bookstore, where can we get weapons!"

"Yes! I have!"

Qu Ling suddenly shouted and said hurriedly: "I have a sword! I went to my uncle's house that year and saw it was very beautiful, so I asked for it!"

"To show off my style, I have been carrying it for the past two years!"

She hurriedly walked around the screen and took a long sword from the shelf. The hilt had a gem, the tassel at the tail was very beautiful, and the scabbard was also inlaid with agate.

No wonder Qu Ling wanted to carry it, it was really cool.

Zhou Yuan took it and drew out the sword.

The sword's edge is three feet long and frosty, it is indeed a good sword!

Zhou Yuan took a deep breath and said word by word: "With it, I may be able to save my life!"
