die if you don't rebel

Chapter 31
While saying this,
Jiang Duming's fists were clenched in the dark night.

The two younger brothers who reported did not dare to make any noise.

They don't have Ma Pijing's ability to read faces... Even if they have that ability in such a dark night, they can't use it.

Jiang Duming spoke at this time:

"From this point of view, Liu Tongbing and the army he leads are probably the elite of the officers and soldiers."

Hu Dali hummed and agreed.

The elite were destroyed,

According to this reasoning,
Then Jiangyang Town is now an empty shell!

"What did I say earlier?"

Jiang Duming regretted not dispatching troops quickly, "I'll kill him while he's sick!"

But it's useless to regret,

He decisively ordered the two younger brothers:
"You rush back to the village overnight, let Mapi Jing dispatch troops immediately! Let him come to see me!"

"Yes!"

"Also, we missed the best time. The officials in Jiangyang Town are not idiots. They may have found reinforcements. You should pay special attention to the situation here."

"Yes!"

When all these orders are finished,
Jiang Duming and Hu Dali let the two younger brothers go to work, and they quietly returned to Liu's house.

Soon fell asleep peacefully.

And another place, Jiangyang county government office.

The time has come to ugly.

The county grandpa Sun Liancai can't sleep at all!

At this moment, the county government office is brightly lit,

There are officers and soldiers on duty outside, and that subordinate of Sun Liancai is not planning to go to bed anymore... The county magistrate he served has woken up six times in less than two hours... Each time, he didn't go to the latrine, but Anxiously asked:

"Has Master Zhou come back?"

For the magistrate,

No, for everyone!
Whether Master Zhou comes back or not determines whether they can sleep peacefully!

Crunch!

at this time,

The door of the magistrate's room opened again.

That subordinate was already so sleepy that his eyelids were fighting, when he heard the county master's door opening, he immediately jumped up as if bitten by a poisonous snake,

He greeted him with great energy:
"My lord—Master Zhou still hasn't returned..."

He simply stated the result.

Then he looked up at the magistrate.

Sure enough, the county master's face became more anxious.

"It would be great if Master Zhou came back now!"

The county master Sun Liancai sighed.

This subordinate said weakly:
"My lord, this day has passed...

Master Zhou said, he will come back in one day sooner or three days later, don't worry too much..."

"Can I not be in a hurry?!"

Sun Liancai is not very capable, but his temper is not small, and he is angry at the slightest, staring at his big dog-like eyes, "Now I can't wait to burn my eyebrows!
and!

Today's inspectors and soldiers, I arranged plainclothes. According to their feedback, dozens of strange faces appeared in Jiangyang Town today.
These people might be that bastard in Qinglongzhai!

Now we are an empty shell here, if they make a surprise attack at this time, how will we deal with it? "

"This……"

The subordinate didn't know how to respond, and he couldn't help it.

but suddenly,
A person flashed in his mind, and he couldn't help saying happily:
"My lord, don't you still have a younger sister? I heard that she is the eldest sister in Jiangyang Town, and there are many strong men and thugs in her family. Why don't you borrow her people to come over first!"

"I'm still angry if you don't mention her,"

Sun Liancai's anger seems to have risen a bit, "She is domineering in Jiangyang Town because she has an elder brother like me behind her.
There are many things that oppress the people and arouse public anger!
The so-called thug servants he raised, others don't know, how can I still not know?
That's a bunch of trash, they can't get on the stage at all! "

"Uh..." Hearing this, the subordinate had no choice but to keep silent and reserve his opinion.

"By the way, how is the matter of arresting strong men to serve as officers?" Sun Liancai asked.

"Returning to my lord, a total of 92 strong men were arrested today, but the progress is not smooth."

"What's in the way?"

"My lord, the common people are very resistant now, and there are many who resist and disobey orders."

"Then shoot to kill!"

"My lord, that's what we did. We strictly followed your orders. That's why the common people clashed with us many times. What's more, we almost failed to suppress it!"

Sun Liancai didn't care about the conflict,
He only cared about the number of strong men, and said:
"Only more than 90 people were arrested, which is enough! I want 300 people! 300 people!"

Three hundred, he repeated.

The subordinate trembled in fright,

Here comes the real difficulty,
Very cautiously said:
"My lord, we have been arresting people non-stop.

It was okay at the beginning, there were quite a few young men on the street, and it was easy to catch,

But soon, only women and old men were left on the street. "

"Are you all hiding? Then search from house to house! There are only three hundred strong men, and the huge Jiangyang Town can't catch enough in one day?!"

The subordinate was shocked.

Cold sweat came out all at once.

Trembling voice:
"My lord, please calm down... we didn't complete the task, we dare not slack off, and we are arresting people from house to house. It's just...just..."

"Just what?"

"My lord, the people of Jiangyang Town have accumulated grievances for a long time. I am worried that if I do this, I will..."

He didn't say the next thing,
But why Sun Liancai couldn't hear it,
That means treating the common people like nothing. Maybe if the bandits in Qinglongzhai don't rebel, these common people will rise up and retaliate.

But Sun Liancai didn't care about this, he said coldly:
"As an official of the imperial court, of course my life is the most important thing!

I don't care so much, you should inform me immediately,

Even if you don't sleep all night, you still have to grab three hundred strong men for me!

if not,

you……

Just wait to die! "

"Yes!"

After Sun Liancai vented, his mood seemed to improve, and he left without caring about his subordinates.

As soon as the magistrate left,
The subordinate immediately exhaled a long breath,
Only then did he discover,
The clothes on his back were completely soaked in cold sweat at some point, and it was very uncomfortable to stick to the flesh.

He doesn't have time for this,
Go catch someone!

……

This night,
Jiangyang Town is destined to be a sleepless night!
A large number of officers and soldiers held torches and searched the young men from house to house.

Those who did not know the news were arrested that night,

Some were even sleeping, and they were grabbed by officers and soldiers with knives around their necks without even wearing pants!

Of course, several conflicts occurred,

dead people,
There was blood.

But even so,
The total is still far from three hundred,
original,

Many families hid their young and strong men in very secret places, and some of them fled outside the town during the day and hid.

With the death order of the magistrate,
These arresting officials dare not be negligent, and continue to arrest if they have not enough arrests. When the town center is almost full, they will go to the villages on the edge of the town to arrest.

Anyway, if you can catch one, it's one!
at this time.

Jiang Duming and Hu Dali are still asleep,
Boom!
dong dong!

The door was knocked hastily!
Jiang Duming and Hu Dali opened their eyes almost at the same time!
