Chapter 277
Chapter 277
Creak...creak, the suspension bridge was lowered. Tiefeng called his comrades to quickly run across the suspension bridge and successfully crossed the moat. "We can't throw this up! It's too high."
"Wait!"
After a while, a small hanging basket the size of a vegetable basket was lowered from the city gate tower.
Shen Hui'e raised her eyebrows slightly, looking quite cautious.
Tiefeng placed the token representing his barracks into the basket and watched them pull the basket up.
"How is it? It's true!"
"real!"
"Then let's let the people in!"
"No, you can't let it go."
"Why!"
"This is a death order from above. We can't release them until the city gates are opened!"
"What about the people down there?"
"If you die, you die! You are just one person."
"This is a human being, not a kitten or a puppy. If he dies, he dies."
"What's wrong with people? They are not even as valuable as the cats and dogs of rich people!"
"How can you talk?"
"People are worse than dogs. After all these years, they still can't see the truth!"
"Then you go ahead and say it."
"I can't say anything about this."
"I say what I say!"
"Young General, the city gate cannot be opened before the appointed time! This is the order of the county governor. If we open the city gate, the county governor will blame us, and we can't afford to be offended."
Then he said in a gentle voice, "Why don't you wait until dawn."
It really wasn't that easy. Tiefeng pointed at them and yelled, "You bastards, can you wait? Daybreak, after daybreak, everyone will be hard as hell."
"You are afraid of the county governor's blame, but you are not afraid of our general's blame!"
"Damn it! I've been working so hard to guard the city, but this guy is injured. I can't even go to the city to see a doctor. I must apologize in front of the county governor! It's our incompetence!"
The guards on the city gate tower began to mutter to themselves.
"Do you know who was injured?" Tie Feng continued to shout, "He is the brother-in-law of our general's concubine. How many heads do you have to stop us?"
The guard shuddered at these words, "What should we do now?"
"Open the city gate! It's not easy to offend the general. He really dares to kill people."
"He just chopped us with a knife."
"Young General, don't be angry, don't be angry, we will open the city gate now."
Shen Hui'e let out a long sigh and finally let go.
Dengdeng... They ran down the city gate tower, and the tall city gate was slowly opened with a creaking sound.
Tiefeng and his men approached the guards with knives in their hands and shouted in a low voice: Do it!
Their lives were ended immediately, without even a scream.
"You go guard the city gate, I'll signal with flags!" Tie Feng started signaling with flags while holding a torch, three high and one low!
"It's done." Shen Penglai said happily, "Pass my order to everyone, run to the city gate at full speed."
"Yes!" They whispered the order to their comrades, then they jumped up from the ground and ran towards the city gate like hungry tigers.
"Brother Tie." Shen Penglai patted his shoulder happily and said, "You are amazing."
"I'm so scared!" Tiefeng touched his forehead and said, "Look at the sweat. It's winter now."
"Brother Tie, how do you know that the general has a brother-in-law?"
"My second sister said that the general is lustful. If this man succeeds, his family will benefit greatly." Tiefeng said with a smile, "If he succeeds, who doesn't have an arrogant and domineering brother-in-law?"
"Are you talking about me?" Shen Penglai said angrily on purpose.
"No, no!" Tiefeng said with a smile, "You are the third child, but not the brother-in-law."
"Hey! Where is my second sister!" Shen Penglai looked around.
"I'm here!" Shen Hui'e said, looking down at them.
"Second sister, how did you get up there?" Tiefeng looked at her in shock, blinking at her in disbelief.
"I climbed up!" Shen Hui'e said with a faint smile, "You stay to guard the city gate, and the rest of you gather at the foot of the city wall."
"Yes!" Shen Peng came and they responded immediately.
When all the people were present, the drawbridge was put up again and some people were left to guard the city gate.
Shen Hui'e looked at the assembled soldiers and said, "You must have seen the floor plan a long time ago! You must have memorized their patrol routes as well!"
"Remember." They whispered.
"Then use the stars to determine their approximate patrol location, ambush them, and kill them." Shen Hui'e looked at them seriously and said.
"Yes!"
"After killing the patrolling soldiers, focus on guarding the two blocks of East City and West City for me." Shen Hui'e said to them with a sharp gaze.
"The last general takes orders."
"Uncle Huang!" Shen Hui'e looked at Huang Shuchang and said, "Your mission is the granary. Make sure it's safe. After you take it, guard it for me."
"I obey your command." Huang Shuchang clasped his hands together and said with a smile, "Second sister-in-law, just hold it! Anyone who dares to approach the granary will be killed without mercy. I will not show mercy."
After Shen Hui'e assigned the tasks, she looked at them and said, "Let's go!"
Shen Hui'e led the troops to surround the county governor's mansion. "Climb over the wall and pass the order to kill without mercy. Just spare the life of the county governor."
"I obey your command." Shen Penglai bowed and responded.
"Does everyone remember the county magistrate's appearance?" Shen Hui'e said, looking at them with her deep black eyes.
"remember."
Shen Hui'e looked at the brightly lit County Magistrate's Mansion with cold eyes. It was already this late and they were still drinking and having fun.
Shen Hui'e directly drew for them what the county magistrate looked like. She held a fire stick and drew a sketch that was so realistic!
It is definitely not as abstract as the portraits of wanted criminals posted in government offices today.
"Go!" Shen Hui'e waved her hand and gave the order.
After a running start, they easily jumped over the wall.
Like a tiger pouncing into a sheepfold, the sentries and patrolling guards all sent them to hell silently.
Shen Hui'e stood expressionlessly outside the lobby of the County Magistrate's Mansion, listening to the noise inside, the stringed instruments, the singing, the obscene lyrics and songs...
Chen Qingyun cupped his hands and said, "General Shen! This is all that's missing."
"Open the door!" Shen Hui'e said coldly to the soldiers on both sides. When they were about to push the door open, she said directly, "Kick the door!"
"Hey!" Several people raised their feet and kicked the door open with a bang, and directly kicked the door over.
Such a loud noise did not attract the attention of people in the hall.
The scene in the hall was really embarrassing. "How could they be so shameless! In public?"
The cold wind blew in and made them shiver.
This time someone finally saw Shen Hui'e and the others.
"Who are you!"
"What?"
"You're looking for death! I don't know where this place is."
"Where are the guards? Guards!"
Shen Hui'e waved her hand, "It's too noisy."
Chen Qingyun cleverly stepped forward and chopped off his head with a knife. The head rolled on the ground and blood splattered all over the ground.
Silence! The only sound in the silence was the whistling wind.
The men and women in the lobby seemed to be frozen in time, not daring to move.
"You're scared now! I thought I was fearless!" Shen Hui'e sneered and glanced at them.
This finally made them react and they screamed in shock.
"what……"
"Killed!"
"Send them on their way." Shen Hui'e gave the order directly, "Don't leave any of them alive!"
Chen Qingyun led his men to swing their swords, and the heads fell to the ground amid screams.
Shen Hui'e strode towards the county magistrate with a smile on her face. She stared at the panicked county magistrate and shouted at the top of her lungs, "Help! Help!"
The county magistrate climbed behind the chair using his hands and feet. "Who are you? What do you want? I can give you anything. You want gold? I'll give it to you."
"I want your life." Shen Hui'e looked at him in amusement and said, "If you die, everything will be mine. Do I need you to give it to me?"
"You are a woman." The county magistrate looked at her in disbelief.
"The one who wants to kill you!" Shen Hui'e looked at him with cold eyes.
"I am the emperor's uncle, you can't kill me." The county magistrate said frantically, "If you kill me, the emperor will not forgive you and will exterminate your entire clan."
"Tsk... The Second Emperor is gone, whose uncle are you?" Shen Hui'e looked at him with disdain and said, "I'll send you to see the Second Emperor, so you can continue to be his uncle."
The county magistrate looked at her with horror and stammered, "How...how...did you know that?"
"Guess!" Shen Hui'e killed him with a knife with a smile on her face, "Turns out you're a wimp." The big knife in her hand was dripping with blood. She pouted in disgust and wiped it on his body.
Shen Hui'e ordered the body to be moved out of the lobby, then lit a candle and went directly to the front yamen, the county magistrate's office.
All the information about the counties, towns, villages, population, acres of land, minerals, taxes, maps of mountains and rivers, etc. under the jurisdiction of Hedong County were placed on the table.
"Wow... there is also a roster of handicraftsmen." Shen Hui'e said in surprise.
"General Shen, you are so happy, what's the use of this?" Chen Qingyun asked curiously.
"If we fire at full power, we won't have to worry about bows and arrows. We can use our weapons." Shen Hui'e said, flicking the bamboo slips with her fingers, looking up at him and asking, "Where is the back office?"
"Give them all a good beating in the back office!" Chen Qingyun bowed and replied.
"Register the gold, silver and jewelry found, seal the boxes, and hand them over to the lord when he arrives." Shen Hui'e said directly.
"Yes!" Chen Qingyun bowed and accepted the order.
In the second half of the night, Tiefeng, Shen Penglai and the Huang brothers sent people to investigate. The mission was accomplished and they were all captured!
What to do next? Of course, open the warehouse and release the grain.
The grain was moved to the intersections of the South City and the North City. At daybreak, gongs and drums were beaten and notifications were given door to door, asking the men in their families to carry hoes and wheelbarrows.
What? Bury the bodies on the street first!
When they came to collect the food, they told the common people that Hezhong Prefecture had been taken over by Mr. Huang, and they could speak out if they had any grievances.
When Shen Changsheng woke up, the world had changed.
Shen Changsheng left Zuixianlou and walked to the street corner. He saw his third brother Shen Penglai standing on a horse with a sword in hand. "Third brother, third brother, what's going on?"
"Brother!" Shen Penglai looked at him happily and said, "We have taken over Hezhong Prefecture." He explained in detail.
