Since the Sima County Captain was killed, the entire Anchang County has rebelled. Those rebels attacked villages and towns, plundering food and people. The rich families in the county were so frightened that they took their families and fled into the county town for safety. The county government naturally did not turn a blind eye. During this period, it sent out several teams to suppress the rebellion. It's just that every time the people sent out, they either disappeared and were completely lost, or they were forced to flee back just a few steps out of the city. Dianshi, the three strongest masters in Anchang County, was seriously injured when he fell while riding a goose. Now they have not recovered yet and their strength is not as good as before. The Sima County Lieutenant was ambushed and killed by the rebels again. Now there is only one county with the strongest strength left. The county captain has learned from the past and does not dare to leave the city rashly. At present, Anchang County only requisitions the entire city and sticks to the county seat, waiting for the county government or the Qingzhou Army to come to rescue. In recent times, many rebels have united together and staged a drama in which the Eighteenth Route Army rebelled against the king and the coalition forces attacked the county town.
The rebels drove a large number of people to attack the county town every day, and the walls of the county town were breached several times. The county magistrate took action personally with Dian Shi, who was seriously injured, and finally managed to secure the county seat. In a secret room of the county government, there is a bronze mirror, which is a special magic weapon. Throughout the Zhou Dynasty, there were thousands of such bronze mirrors, combined with a set of special magic weapons. The only thing about this magic weapon is communication. Through this bronze mirror, the county government can directly contact the superior Sanyang County. At this moment, the county magistrate stood in front of the bronze mirror and stretched out a finger to write on the bronze mirror. "The anti-thief coalition forces are attacking the city, and the county is in danger." As soon as I finished writing 놛, the writing on the bronze mirror disappeared. After a while, the bronze mirror lit up again, and a line of words appeared on the surface. "Every county in Qingzhou is rebelling. We currently have no troops to send, so we are waiting for reinforcements." The county magistrate who had been a local emperor for decades looked ashen when he read the line "누". Don't expect reinforcements anytime soon. Now we can only hold on to the county seat and try our best to save ourselves. At present, the county seat has a population of tens of thousands, and there is still some food. With the city wall, it is possible to defend it with all its strength. It's just that the city's population of more than 10,000 people are all unruly people. There is no good citizen who can keep his roots. The city wall was breached several times by the bandit army. It was not because the bandit army was so strong, but because the unscrupulous people in the city took the initiative to let go of their defenses and lure the bandit army into the city. For this reason, the county government beheaded several groups of people, killing many people, but still failed to deter these unruly people.
Recently, these unscrupulous people have been clamoring for the government to open warehouses to release grain. Diao Feng is becoming more and more popular. As soon as the county magistrate walked out of the secret room, he saw several police officers escorting a group of unruly people in. "Reporting to the Lord of the County, we have captured a few more spies who were trying to lure the bandit army into the city." "Take him in and give him a beating first. I will interrogate him personally." When the county magistrate saw these unruly people, he was filled with hatred. He had to kill them all to relieve his hatred. But in this special period, these unscrupulous people are still needed to defend the city. After a while, these spies were beaten into disgrace and dragged into the lobby like dead dogs. "Tell me! Who ordered you to act as a spy and lead thieves into the house?" "I'm not under anyone's orders. I don't even have enough to eat. I don't want to work for you dog officials." The man being questioned had been beaten to pieces, and now he dared to contradict the county magistrate. "As the mother of a county, I have always loved the people like my own children. It seems that you, the unruly people, still deserve a beating." Several police officers immediately took action and sprinkled some coarse salt on the man's beaten flesh, which caused the man to burst into tears. "Guan Guan, you will kill me with one blow." The man was also a tough-talking man. He was rolling on the ground in pain and still yelling and swearing. "Keep fighting!" Several government officials beat him again with paddles. After the beating, they sprinkled chili pepper water on the wound. "Are you convinced or not?" "Dog officer! I don't accept it!" This man was famous for his tough talk. Even though his whole body was shaking with menstrual pain, he still refused to accept it and cursed angrily. Then various methods such as clamping sticks, bamboo sticks, and fire brands were used. This man's bones were all broken, his skin and flesh were rotten, and all his teeth were pulled out, but his mouth was still extremely hard. Just refused to give in. "Dog officer..." When encountering such a cunning and unscrupulous citizen, the county magistrate would only consider himself unlucky, and had his mouth blocked, and he would be taken out and beheaded in public. Killing such a ruthless person would have no feeling at all. But just a few days after the beheading was carried out in public, the unruly people in the city began to clamor to open warehouses to store grain and to eat. Suddenly, Diao Feng rose sharply.
If we didn't expect these unscrupulous people to protect the city wall, none of us would be able to survive. The thugs who took the lead in making trouble were all recorded in the book. Now that there was nothing he could do, the county magistrate had no choice but to endure the situation for the time being and collect grain and money from wealthy merchants in the city. There were many wealthy businessmen living in the county, and their homes had hoarded a large amount of food, gold, silver, and silk. Later, when the bandit army broke out, wealthy landowners from various towns and villages took refuge in the city with their children. In extraordinary times, extraordinary things are done. The county magistrate asked Wang Baotou to lead a group of fierce government servants to collect grain and money from house to house. If anyone disobeys even a little bit, they will lead people into the house, beat them, rob them, and also line their own pockets. In a few days, 1,000 dan of grain and 5,000 taels of silver were collected. This time, the officials of the county government were all for the public. Only 5,000 taels of silver were collected, and the remaining 1,000 dan of grain was not touched, and all were distributed to the people guarding the city. These people came from poor families, some of them were even beggars in the city, and they had not had a decent meal in the past few years. After collecting the food, they were afraid that the bandits would come in and rob their little food, and their morale was boosted for a while. For more than a month, no matter how fierce the bandits outside the city attacked, they could not get close to the city wall. The county magistrate did not show much joy at such a record, but only snorted coldly with his nose crooked. "Hmph... unruly people!" But even if the people lived frugally, the 1,000 dan of grain they distributed would only last for one or two months before being eaten up. These unruly people had no food to eat, and they looked like they were dying, complaining day after day. The county magistrate was angry when he saw them. There were such unruly people in the world! He could only continue to collect grain from the rich. This time, only 500 dan of grain was collected, but the officials did not take a single grain, and all were distributed. The county magistrate himself was very moved. He had been a county magistrate for decades, but he did not expect that he would be so honest as an official. There was not a single sensible unruly person in the city, and they did not know how to send an umbrella for the people. As for the minor officials under him who slightly deducted some of the grain, it could be ignored. The 500 dan collected this time only lasted for a month before it was gone again. Then he tried to collect grain from the rich, but it was not enough. Moreover, the complaints from the city dwellers were increasing. There were also rumors that the court had allocated grain for disaster relief, but it was all taken away by the county magistrate, the registrar, and the county lieutenant. The county magistrate was a little angry. He was so honest, but these people were still not satisfied.
The reinforcements would not arrive in a short time. The bandit army outside the city attacked at night, and the people in the city were still making trouble. The county magistrate was overwhelmed and had no choice but to abandon the car to save the king. He had to find someone to take the blame.
