Chapter 510 "Noisy!"
(Thanks to Shuangluofenglinzui for casting 4 monthly tickets.)
The morning in Jian'an City was shattered by the sound of iron hooves.
Li Shiyue was the first to ride her little red horse through the city gate, followed by a thousand riders who surged in like a black tide.
The horses' hooves pounded on the bluestone road, turning the white snow left from last night's snowfall into a muddy black mess.
As soon as Fu entered the city gate, the shops on both sides of the street at the city gate closed their doors, leaving only an empty avenue.
Suddenly, someone who had been hiding at the city gate stepped out from the corner at that moment.
These were people Sun Xiaoliu had arranged long ago.
Chen Yong followed behind Li Shiyue and also saw the person who suddenly stood up.
"General!"
The man stopped, bowed deeply to Li Shiyue, and paid his respects.
Li Shiyue pulled on the reins and turned to Chen Yong behind her, instructing him, "You stay here and arrange for people to take over the four city gates."
According to the plan, we will take over the government treasury, granary, armory, and government offices!
Protect the documents and household registration records inside!
"Yes, General!"
Li Shiyue turned around, as if she had remembered something.
She turned to Chen Yong and said, "Tell the brothers to keep a close watch on the prison. If anyone resists, kill them on the spot!"
If anything goes wrong, this general will cover for you!
"Yes, General!"
Turning his head, Li Shiyue looked at the advance team soldier and said, "Mount up! Lead the way!"
After saying this, Li Shiyue didn't look back and ran straight towards the main road at the city gate.
The soldier had already mounted a horse that someone had emptied out and was leading the way for Li Shiyue toward the governor's mansion in the center of the city.
About two hundred Xuanjia soldiers left with Li Shiyue, while the rest followed Chen Yong's instructions and went to various parts of the city as Li Shiyue had told them.
The soldiers at the south city gate were stunned as the Xuanjia Army quickly occupied the gate and replaced it with their own men.
The Xuanjia Army simply made these former soldiers from the South City stand aside, without pointing their swords at them or confiscating their swords, but they wouldn't let them leave!
The city gate guards were reluctantly walking forward, bowing and scraping, trying to find out what was going on.
However, no one paid any attention to him, and in the end, only one person said to him: "Stay put!"
"Once our general finishes his business and has some free time, we'll see what you decide then!"
Li Shiyue had already turned the last street corner and was now seeing the magnificent vermilion-lacquered and gold-studded gate of the governor's mansion at the end of the empty street.
"Kuroko! Open the door!"
Li Shiyue stopped her horse at the gate of the governor's mansion, her voice as cold and sharp as a knife, and whispered this to Hei Zi, who was carrying a bow and arrows behind her.
"Understood!"
Hei Zi clasped his hands in response, dismounted, and turned to muster his troops.
He led a dozen or so Xuanjia soldiers and scattered, and before the gatekeeper could speak, he was kicked to the ground.
The other three guards in front of the governor's mansion tried to stop them, but they were pinned to the ground by the other Xuanjia soldiers who were with Hei Zi.
"The Xuanjia Army is conducting a case; anyone who obstructs will be executed!"
Hei Zi drew his sword and shouted this at the four guards of the governor's mansion who were being held down on the ground.
The governor's mansion occupied a considerable area, but the Xuanjia Army on horseback quickly surrounded it.
Make sure not a single living creature escapes from this governor's mansion!
Once the governor's mansion is surrounded, the rest will be easy; it's just a matter of trapping a turtle in a jar.
Hei Zi and his men have already opened the vermilion gate.
Li Shiyue spurred her horse forward, the little red horse's hooves leaping over the three steps and landing heavily on the threshold of the governor's mansion's main hall.
Wood chips flew everywhere, and the little red horse trampled the half-finger-wide threshold to pieces.
Meanwhile, the governor's mansion was already in complete chaos.
The maids and servants scattered and fled, and some guards drew their swords to fight back, but they were quickly cut down by the Xuanjia Army.
Li Shiyue kept her eyes straight ahead and rode her horse straight inside, with her uncle, a personal guard, following closely behind.
Upon reaching the front hall, Li Shiyue dismounted and ascended the steps to the main hall.
"search!"
She gave this instruction to Kuroko.
"We need to see him alive or dead!"
"Yes, General!"
Hei Zi stayed by Li Shiyue's side, while soldiers went to capture Huang Wanchang, the prefect of Jian'an.
Meanwhile, in the back room of the governor's mansion, Jian'an Governor Huang Wanchang was still fast asleep, embracing his newly acquired concubine.
Suddenly the door was kicked open with force. Huang Wanchang was still fast asleep, but the concubine was awakened by the noise.
Finally, it was the concubine's scream that woke up this local tyrant of Jian'an City.
"Who...who are you?"
Huang Wanchang hurriedly grabbed the clothes from the head of the bed and put them on, his obese body appearing particularly clumsy in the chaos.
The Xuanjia Army, capable of arresting people, would never listen to Huang Wanchang's words.
Anyway, he had just heard the concubine call him "Master".
That's it!
This fat, big-eared man must be Huang Wanchang, the governor of Jian'an.
After all, besides Huang Wanchang, there was no one else in the governor's mansion who could be called "Lord".
"Gag him! Take him away!"
Huang Wanchang was completely flustered and really didn't understand whose men the armored soldier in front of him was.
Who dared to break into the governor's mansion and arrest him, the governor?
Huang Wanchang's face turned deathly pale instantly, and large beads of sweat rolled down his forehead.
He abruptly shoved aside the screaming concubine beside him and jumped barefoot off the bed: "Who are you?"
This is the governor's residence!
How dare you…
Before he could finish speaking, the Xuanjia soldier who had kicked down the door had already taken a step forward and struck his knee heavily with his scabbard.
Huang Wanchang screamed and fell to his knees. Then, two Xuanjia soldiers grabbed his arms and restrained him.
His face was ashen, but he still forced himself to maintain his official demeanor: "I am a fifth-rank official of the imperial court. Who are you all?"
"Dare to take hostages..."
"Hurry up, why do I have to do the arresting?"
The Xuanjia Army completely ignored Huang Wanchang, who was shouting incoherently.
Immediately, soldiers stepped forward, grabbed some cloth, rolled it into a ball, and stuffed it into Huang Wanchang's mouth.
The soldier looked at the weeping concubine on the bed, then turned to look at the squad leader with a hint of helplessness.
What are you looking at me for?
Didn't you hear the general say that everyone in this mansion should be arrested?
What? Isn't she human?
The captain, somewhat impatient, yelled this at his soldiers.
"take away!"
Seeing that Huang Wanchang and his concubine were gagged and tightly bound, the captain turned and strode away, saying, "The general said that everyone in this mansion must be taken to the front yard, and no one is to be left out!"
When the Xuanjia Army dragged Huang Wanchang to the main hall of the front hall like a dead dog, Li Shiyue was already sitting at the head of the table, drinking tea.
It was not yet noon.
Li Shiyue sat there calmly, put down her teacup, tapped the table lightly with her finger, and looked up at the group of people kneeling below.
There were too many people in the governor's mansion; there wasn't enough room for everyone to kneel in the main hall.
Therefore, only Huang Wanchang and his relatives were allowed to kneel in the main hall, while everyone else knelt in the corridor and courtyard.
Although I was kneeling in the corridor and courtyard, exposed to the cold wind, at least I didn't have to face Li Shiyue!
The person kneeling in the main hall didn't have to endure the cold wind, but they had to face Li Shiyue, who looked as terrifying as a demon, with no expression on his face!
Kneeling below the hall were more than thirty members of Huang Wanchang's family, the women sobbing uncontrollably, and the children trembling with fear as they clung to their relatives.
However, since they were all gagged, they weren't very noisy.
Huang Wanchang was forced to kneel at the front. He was only wearing a thin shirt and his hair was disheveled. He did not look like a governor in charge of a prefecture.
Li Shiyue nodded to Hei Zi, who then stepped forward and pulled the cloth strip out of Huang Wanchang's mouth.
With his hands tied behind his back and his knees kicked, Huang Wanchang struggled to raise his head, his eyes filled with resentment as he looked at Li Shiyue. "Who are you? How dare you trespass into the governor's mansion!"
Do you know who I am?
"I am the Prefect of Jian'an..."
"So noisy!"
Li Shiyue raised her hand expressionlessly, and immediately a soldier stepped forward, swung his arm, and slapped Huang Wanchang, who was sticking his neck out, across the face!
"ah!"
Heart-wrenching screams echoed through the main hall.
"how?
"Can you speak properly now?"
Li Shiyue asked Huang Wanchang with a smile.
