The black-bellied peasant girl is reborn, and her weird relatives are mad

The next night, after the hour of Hai, when she was sure that everyone in the family was asleep, she and Jiang Hongxin changed into night clothes and quietly went out.

Ten miles west of the city, torches lit up the sky so brightly that it was transparent.

Tang Zhongbai and Cao Ke divided the teams, with each person leading a team. Each team was led by a guard from the Qingyi Sect or the Wei family, and they set off.

Each leader sent out two flares. "If something unexpected happens, everyone can light the flares and the brothers nearby will come over to support you immediately."

"Yes."

The place Jiang Muxia went to was Tianji Chaoguan in Lu Village. She really had a connection with this place.

Jiang Hongxin was the closest to her and went to Yangxi Village in the next village.

Because it was an emergency, when she arrived at the temple, it was quiet inside. She jumped over the wall and opened the door.

Ten people went straight to the backyard, and ten followed her to the underground dark room in the front hall.

Most of the ice in the dark room was gone. Sure enough, after Tianji's death, there were still people active here. After they transformed the four rooms in the dark room, more than a dozen men lived in them.

After a fierce battle, the officers and soldiers captured the man and took him out of the dark room.

Jiang Muxia stood at the entrance of the secret passage. It was too easy for filth to hide here. He went back and told Tang Zhongbai that he should find a chance to overthrow the place and return the land to the villagers.

The fighting capacity of these rioters was extremely weak, so Jiang Muxia had the more than 30 people who were found tied up with ropes and sent to the Suanzao County Jail.

On the way, they met Jiang Hongxin who was escorting someone back. The two teams merged into one and headed towards the prison in the southwest of the county.

That things would go smoothly was something they had expected before they even arrived.

After returning to the county town and putting everyone in jail, the two were about to return home when they suddenly saw a gorgeous firework exploding in the sky west of the city.

The two of them felt nervous and looked at each other, "Something happened, who is here?"

"It seems to be a man with a peach-shaped scar on his cheek."

"It's Brother Xu Zao, go and support him."

"No. You can't go. Go home first and I'll go."

"No, this is an emergency. I can't care about that anymore. Let's go."

It was already the hour of the Ox. If she couldn't get back before dawn, Jiang Muxia would be exposed. The news that she was alive couldn't be told yet, as the person hiding around them hadn't been found out yet. Once Jiang Muxia showed up, the spies would attack again, and she couldn't afford to be hurt.

Jiang Hongxin was so anxious that she kept spinning around, but the person in front of her was determined. She knew her too well, and they had similar personalities. She knew that she was just like herself, and that certain things would not change.

She looked at the sky and thought that if things were not difficult, they could return before dawn. She gritted her teeth and said, "Let's go."

They did not dare to take the main road, and instead ran along the small path towards the west of the city under the moonlight.

The location of the smoke bomb is in Zhanghezhuang, ten miles west of the city. Jiang Muxia suddenly remembered that her cousin Chang Juan's home is here.

She was not worried that her cousin would come home and tell her parents after she found out. She was worried about the large population of this village, which was the largest village in the entire Suanzao County.

Most people in the village have the surname Yang, and they are all related. They were afraid that Xu had been discovered by the villagers when he was arresting people, so the whole village came out to surround him.

This is really the case, and that's what caused the big trouble.

The two finally ran to the location, and the situation on the scene was indeed almost the same as she had imagined.

The village was brightly lit. The twenty people led by Xu Zao were surrounded by villagers in three layers inside and outside, with a total of more than two or three hundred people.

Tang Zhongbai also appeared in the village with his men at this time and met the two men.

Since there was no violence, it was difficult for Jiang Muxia to come forward. Tang Zhongbai waited for the opportunity outside the crowd, and when Xu Zao could no longer handle it, he would come forward.

A man shouted, "I don't care who you are, they are from our village, they should behave themselves. You can't just take them away by saying they are rioters."

"That's right. We are all ordinary people who just want to live our own lives. Why are we causing trouble for the people? What did they do? You call them rioters. County Magistrate Tang just died, so you can't wait to cause trouble for the villagers?"

"Yes, call the county officials to come out. If we don't explain it clearly today, we will not give up."

"Yes, ask the steward to come and give us an explanation..."

The scene was in chaos, and Xu Zao had shouted until his voice was hoarse, but no one listened to him. Helplessly, he had to shut up and wait for the people to vent their emotions before he could speak again to persuade them.

Tang Zhongbai asked the people around him, "Has the village chief arrived?"

The people looked him up and down, and seeing that he looked unfamiliar, they began to doubt him, "Who are you? Are you one of them?"

Tang Zhongbai waved his hands quickly, "No, no, I came to visit relatives in the village. I was woken up in the middle of the night, so I came to take a look. I think these people are not easy to deal with. If they are really government officials, it will be much better if the village chief comes forward."

"The village chief is not here. He is old and is resting at home."

"Oh, okay." Tang Zhongbai stepped back and waved to a soldier to go to the house with the largest courtyard in the village and ask the village chief to come over immediately.

He whispered a few words in the officer's ear, and the two of them ran off together to ask for help.

The surrounded civilians had no intention of letting Xu Zao and his men go easily. The circle became smaller and smaller. Twenty officers and soldiers were escorting the rioters while taking defensive actions.

When the people saw that they were few in number, they had other ideas.

Seeing that the two sides were about to fight, Tang Zhongbai shouted outside, "Everyone get out of the way, the village chief is here."

The soldiers came running over breathlessly, carrying an old man on their backs, and put him on the ground. Behind them, two young men with red faces rushed over and were ready to beat him up.

The old man was so shocked that he was completely dizzy. "You two didn't even explain what I was saying, but you carried me here. Isn't the County Magistrate Tang you mentioned dead? How could he have run to our village? Is this a ghost?"

Tang Zhongbai quickly stood up, bowed and said, "Old man, long time no see, do you still recognize me?"

The old man thought the voice was familiar and asked someone to bring a torch. He held the torch close to Tang Zhongbai.

He was so frightened that he threw the torch away. The two gentlemen beside him quickly supported him. The old man looked surprised and asked, "Did you really see a ghost?"

"Old man, you are not seeing a ghost. I am Tang Zhongbai. In order to catch the rioters, I had to come up with this method. I asked you to come here so that you can administer justice."

Tang Zhongbai pointed at Xu Zao and others who were surrounded by the crowd and said loudly: "I sent them. I thought that arresting them at night would not alarm innocent people, but I didn't expect that it would still alarm you."

The village chief asked the villagers to kneel down and salute, "You little bastards, this is the famous County Magistrate Tang, you must not act rashly."

Tang Zhongbai raised his hand and asked everyone to stand up. "You all asked me for an explanation. I will make it clear to you that these people have long been turned into rioters by the Goddess of Tianji. They are waiting for the message from the King of Lingnan to come. Then they gathered together and attacked the people around them first, and then attacked Zhou County. We have evidence of the King of Lingnan's rebellion, and he will be executed soon. Folks, think about it, do you dare to keep these people around you?"

The people looked at each other in bewilderment. No one dared to believe that this was actually true. They were all from the same village. Could they really dare to do this?

A big man rushed in and grabbed a middle-aged man who was tied up tightly, and shouted, "Yang San, tell me, is what County Magistrate Tang said true?"

The man was about to retort when Xu Zao threw a package of blue flags with the word Wu embroidered on them in front of him. "This is the evidence. You can't deny it."

The big man slapped him and cursed: "We are living a good life, why do you want to do such a treasonous thing to exterminate your clan?"

"She said that after the success, she would not only give me wealth and glory, but also give me elixir that would allow me immortality." His voice was getting smaller and smaller. He should have figured out by now that it was all a scam.

"Changsheng, you idiot." The man punched him again and left the crowd.

"Everyone, please disperse. Let Magistrate Tang take the people away as soon as possible. What happened today concerns the country and no one can tell anyone. Otherwise, it will be the same crime as treason." The village chief loudly warned all the villagers.

The crowd dispersed, and Xu Zao led his people away. After Tang Zhongbai thanked the village chief and said goodbye, he realized that the Jiang sisters beside him were gone.
