Captain He immediately gave orders, "Call all my soldiers here immediately, and do not let any rioters go. Kill them all without mercy."
Today, he is going to kill a lot of people.
He wanted to let everyone know that if anyone messed with the He family, there would be only one outcome: death! Killing the chicken to scare the monkey!
Otherwise, if anyone dares to offend the He family in the future, how will he survive?
He's face was not good, and she was very angry. "Brother, how could this happen? How dare those peasants?"
She was not afraid. Once the soldiers arrived, how could the rioters be their match?
What made her angry was that those people dared to offend her! She was the mistress of Ganzhou City, and someone broke into her family's home to kill, burn and loot? They were going to die? This was an offense to her dignity!
He Qianhu frowned, "It's that person."
"Who?" He didn't understand.
"The leader of the guards in the Fifth Prince's Palace." Captain He had previously ordered his men to use the hungry people as pawns to deal with the guards, but it was obvious that he was outmaneuvered.
As expected of someone who came from the prince's mansion, he has a deep mind and his reactions are quick and agile.
"He is a vindictive person, and this is his counterattack."
But till now, he still hasn't seen that person.
A fierce light flashed in He's eyes, "Then we can't let them leave Ganzhou City alive."
She grabbed Captain He's arm, her eyes dark, "Brother, mobilize your trusted followers to block the Yuelai Inn, set it on fire, and burn everyone inside to death, so that there will be no evidence."
He Qianhu had some concerns. The more he saw, the more he had concerns. "I'm worried that there are still people secretly."
If the news leaks out, there will be consequences.
He was a reckless person. She was fearless. "What are you afraid of? We can push the responsibility onto the Northern Chu spies and say they did it. The emperor is far away. Can they still call us to the capital for questioning? Even if the imperial envoy comes to investigate, we can just throw money at them and make them stand on our side."
"We just need to appease Dusifu and Lord Ji. Lord Ji doesn't need to worry. Even if he knows, he will protect us for the sake of the children."
"As for Commander Du, his mind is on managing the army. Managing the city is not his forte."
Everyone has weaknesses. General Du has a very high prestige in the army, has won every battle and is known as a military god, but he is not good at city affairs.
It should be said that energy is limited and it is impossible to be proficient in everything.
As for General Du, he has been training in the army for many years, and this is a good time for him to make achievements.
With Commander Ji and General Du blocking the way, would the court still turn against them for a few dead people? That would chill the hearts of the meritorious officials.
He is not a prince, so the death of a few guards is nothing.
He Qianhu slapped his forehead. The older he got, the less courageous he was. He was not as decisive as a woman. "Okay, I'll listen to you. There's no need to hesitate. I'll send someone to do it right away."
The brother and sister were discussing how to handle the matter properly and how to deal with the aftermath. At this moment, the housekeeper stumbled back and said, "Oh no."
He Qianhu couldn't bear to hear these three words. His forehead hurt badly. "What happened again?"
The housekeeper looked horrified, "The door is blocked, we can't get out."
He Qianhu really wanted to kick him away, "Idiot, go to the corner gate or the back door, do you still need me to teach you such a simple thing?"
The butler shook his head frantically, anxiously, "Every door is blocked."
The incident happened suddenly, and he was like a headless fly, losing his usual smartness.
He Qianhu was extremely surprised. They had blocked the way? Did the rioters have the brains to do this? They were so organized and orderly...
"Sister, we have met our match this time."
The opponent's counterattack was so fierce that they were caught off guard.
However, a strong dragon cannot suppress a local snake, so he taught that man the rules. This is his territory, and even a strong dragon has to bow down to him.
"Don't panic. Gather all the servants. I will personally command them..."
Before he could finish his words, flames shot up into the sky not far away.
"Oh no, there's a fire." Captain He's face changed drastically. That was the warehouse, where the He family stored their good things.
"Hurry up and get someone to put out the fire, quickly."
His voice stopped abruptly and he rubbed his eyes in disbelief.
Someone was setting fires everywhere, and there were flames everywhere.
His mind inappropriately recalled their brother and sister's conspiracy to burn those people to death.
However, that person predicted his behavior in advance and took one step ahead.
What a terrible scheme!
He screamed, "Brother, is that a garden?"
The brother and sister looked at each other and saw the anger and rage they felt, and they were so angry that they collapsed.
The two of them ran over, holding up their clothes, without caring about their image, not caring about anything else.
Running to the garden, He Qianhu looked at the burning rockery and felt dizzy. It was as if a basin of ice water was poured over his head and his heart was chilled.
He rushed towards the fire like crazy, but was stopped by his eldest son, "Father, it's dangerous."
He Qianhu's face was ferocious, his eyes were red, and he was almost crazy. "Hurry up and put out the fire."
Young Master He was also very heartbroken. Those people broke into his house, burned, killed, looted, and destroyed the He family's belongings. At the same time, they also trampled on the He family's face.
But saving lives is the most important thing.
"Father, it's just a rockery. If it burns, it's destroyed. We can build a better one later. As long as the green mountain remains, there will be no shortage of firewood."
"Get out." Captain He pushed Master He away hysterically and rushed towards the fire scene regardless of everything.
Young Master He fell flat on his face. When he struggled to get up, he saw He Shi and said with great grievance, "Father, aunt, father is crazy."
He had no time to comfort him at this moment, and murmured to herself, "Under the rockery is the He family's secret treasure house, which hides many treasures. It is a way out for the He family."
But now, it has been destroyed by someone.
Mr. He was stunned, he knew nothing.
Yes, the eldest young master of the He family didn’t know, only the He brothers and sisters knew.
But even so, someone accurately found it and burned it in a fire, the result of decades of hard work.
Captain He acted like a madman and wanted to rush into the fire, but the fire was too big and stopped him outside.
He shouted angrily to put out the fire. The servants took basins to the river to fetch water, then ran back to pour the water. The scene was extremely chaotic.
Moreover, this is a specially built rockery area with jagged rocks, winding and narrow passages, and it is very dangerous, which makes firefighting even more difficult.
Seeing that the fire could not be put out, Captain He became anxious and snatched the basin of water from the servant's hand and rushed over.
The road was too narrow and he was extremely anxious. Somehow his foot slipped and he fell out. He hit the protruding rock with a heavy "bang" and blood gushed out of his head.
"Brother."
"Father."
"grown ups."
The sudden change left everyone stunned and the scene became even more chaotic.
Outside the He Mansion, a carriage was parked in an alley.
A sturdy figure rushed over, "Miss, it's done."
The curtain was opened, and Mu Wanqing looked at the smoke rising from the He Mansion and raised her eyebrows, "No one was hurt, right?"
"No." The guard whispered, "I set the fire while avoiding people. I only set it when I saw no one was around. The hungry people took the things and ran out of the back door. Brother Xiaoyi and his men took them to the market. Once the things were sold, there was no evidence."
His responsibility was to set fire to cover the safe escape of the hungry people, while the others had their own tasks.
Mu Wanqing nodded slightly and launched a blitzkrieg. As soon as she entered, she sealed all the doors and took control of the situation.
Then they broke into the warehouse with a clear purpose, each grabbed something and ran to the back door, where someone would pick them up.
Do not harm innocent people and do not kill people.
Who should be killed? The servants are innocent. Killing the officials will lead to the extermination of their entire clan.
Moreover, once the killing of officials is started, it will be like opening Pandora's box, and some things will be out of control.
As I said, there is only a fine line between the hungry and the mob.
Rioting is never the best option for solving problems.
We cannot start a killing spree, otherwise people will follow suit and the city will be in complete chaos.
In war, civilians are always the ones who suffer the most.
Mu Wanqing nodded slightly, "Where is the official seal?"
"Ah." The guard slapped his head, he almost forgot.
He presented with both hands an official seal that he had secretly taken out from the study outside the He family.
"How do you know that Captain He's official seal is hidden in the secret drawer behind the calligraphy and painting on the wall?"
Mu Wanqing held the heavy official seal and smiled without saying a word. This was the ultimate goal of her trip. Everything was as she expected.
As for the news, it was naturally provided by Miss Ji.
Even though Miss Ji has never been to the He family, she knows the family's structure very well.
It can be seen that the person who knows you best is always your opponent.
She saw a group of people riding horses galloping towards her from afar, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.
"Someone is coming. You go over with the official seal and say this."
A group of soldiers hurried to the gate of the He family, jumped off their horses and rushed in.
Hey, the door is locked.
They banged on the door, but no one came to open it.
"Captain Wu, what's going on? Are we going to knock on the door?"
They were all Captain He's subordinates. When they heard that something happened in He's mansion, they all rode over on horseback to provide support.
Captain Wu hesitated for a moment, not knowing what was going on inside.
They acted without a warrant, which was a violation of the law.
If they break in without permission and things are not what they imagined, how will they explain themselves?
He simply raised his voice and shouted, "Master He, Master He, are you okay?"
Are you going in or waiting outside? Give them a definite answer right away.
"Lord He has given an order." A voice sounded behind him.
Everyone turned around at once, only to see a young man holding Lord He's official seal. They couldn't help but ask anxiously, "What did Lord He say?"
The guard put away the official seal calmly and said, "My Lord said that he is closing the door and beating the dog. Everything is under his control. No matter what happens later, you have to pretend that you don't know."
His behavior was so natural, and Captain He usually behaved in this tone, always acting like he was superior to others and smarter and more capable than others.
The soldiers looked at each other and said, "Okay."
The guard ran away after delivering the message, and Mu Wanqing did not stay for long. "Notify Shen Yong to take the goods to the market, and we will meet there."
The guard was stunned for a moment, "Miss, the trade fair is not open today. We have to wait until the day after tomorrow."
Mu Wanqing played with the official seal and said, "Take the official seal to the government office and issue a notice to open the market ahead of schedule. The date is set for today. I just checked and most of the merchants have arrived. The market can be opened at any time."
The guard suddenly realized that the third young lady was walking and stopping just now because she was observing this.
She is worthy of being the godlike Miss Mu San. Most people take one step at a time, but she takes one step at a time and looks ten steps ahead, with hundreds of strategies in mind.
"yes."
They all acted separately, but Captain Wu and his group did not dare to leave. They waited at the gate of the He family for a long time before the gate opened.
Several servants stumbled out, with disheveled hair, messy clothes, and dusty faces, looking in a miserable state.
"Call all the doctors in the city, and act quickly."
Captain Wu rushed over and asked, "Butler, what happened?"
The housekeeper grabbed his clothes, his face flushed, and he was furious. "Why did you come just now? Huh?"
Captain Wu was stunned. "Didn't you tell us to stay outside and not to break in?"
The butler was confused, "What?"
The servant shouted impatiently, "Stop talking for now. The most important thing is to find a doctor. Call the best doctor."
Captain Wu stretched his neck to look inside, but he didn't dare to rush in. He first sounded out the people below him, "What are you doing now, sir? Have you caught all the mobs?"
When Lord Ji went on a tour, he entrusted all the matters of Ganzhou City to Captain He, and Captain He was quite capable.
It is easy to deal with some mobs.
Unexpectedly, the housekeeper's eyes turned red, "My lord fell down and fainted."
Everyone: ...
This is outrageous!
There are even more outrageous things waiting for them!
The market is open! The trade that was supposed to be held every ten days has been brought forward! The whole city is in an uproar!
