That night.
It was dark and the gates of the holy city were closed.
Hope drove three carriages, carrying his family, young and old, out of the city.
Although the city gates were closed, he knew the character of the soldiers guarding the city very well. As long as he gave them some money, there was an 80% chance that they would open the gates and release the people.
Besides, he is a celebrity in the city, so the soldiers guarding the city will still give him this respect.
He also brought some drinks.
As long as the guards at the city gate drank the good wine he had added ingredients to, Lai Gou'er should be more confident in his actions.
Everything had gone smoothly since he entered the city five days ago. He wandered around the slums with his badge in hand, and sure enough, someone came up to him and took away the flare.
There was no room for him to do anything else. The only thing he could do was to quickly deal with his own family affairs.
In the next few days, he began to sort out his property step by step, taking away everything that could be taken away.
The rest dug a deep pit at home and buried all the gold and silver in it.
Then he dismissed all the servants and slaves in the house in batches.
It was not until tonight that I took my family out of the city to seek refuge.
There will be a war in the city and there will definitely be chaos.
If a mutual aid society incites the poor to cause trouble, the consequences can be imagined.
Most of the poor people seem to be kind and honest, but in fact they are oppressed by poverty.
Once the evil thoughts of greed come out, a well-known tycoon like him will definitely be the first victim of the chaos.
So run away as soon as possible!
Three carriages drove to the city gate and were stopped by several guards guarding the gate.
"What are you doing? The city gates are closed."
Hope got out of the car holding a torch, illuminating his face, and said in a slightly sinister tone: "Are you blind? Don't you recognize me?"
"Master Hope?" The guard leader was a little dumbfounded. He took two steps back and then became serious again. "The city gates are closed. According to the rules, you are not allowed to leave the city. Come back tomorrow morning."
Hope silently took out two silver coins and handed them over: "I'm in a hurry to discuss business, open the door quickly."
"That's not good. Even though you are a famous person, you can't insult me with such a small amount of money..."
Hope silently took out a bag of silver coins and threw it over, then raised his hand and pointed behind him with his thumb, speaking lazily.
"Hurry up, sir. I really have something urgent to do. I have someone above me. You wouldn't understand business matters even if I told you. I brought a cart of good wine that is not available on the market to give away. I'll give you the money and give you a few jars of good wine to drink. Open the door for me, or return the money to me."
The leader of the guards weighed the heavy purse, the silver coins inside rustled, and the eyes of the other guards all glowed green!
So many silver coins, and some good wine that is not available on the market.
What the hell! What kind of wine does a guy like Hope drink?
"Well! You have an urgent matter, and it's my duty to help you, but when will you come back?" the leader of the guards flattered.
Hope frowned, "What does it have to do with you when I come back?"
"I'll open the door for you!"
Hope showed his two rows of big teeth and patted his shoulder vigorously: "You are sensible, I like people like you! No need to wait for me, when I come back, just go to my house and get another batch of silver coins! Just say it's from me."
"Okay!"
The gate of the holy city slowly opened to a width that was just wide enough for one carriage to pass through.
The three carriages successfully drove out of the holy city, leaving behind five jars of fine wine.
Watching the carriage go away, the guard leader licked his lips and said with great envy: "Fuck! So fucking rich!"
"Brother, stop envying others. There's still wine here, why don't we drink some?" The guard next to him stared at the jar of wine, drooling.
The guard leader rubbed his hands together and said with a smile: "Okay, let's try what the high-class wine tastes like. Call all the brothers down from the city wall!"
Soon, a small group of guards gathered at the corner of the city wall.
The leader opened the jar of wine, and a rich aroma wafted out.
After drinking a glass of wine, the leader smacked his lips, feeling that the experience was not what he had imagined.
"It smells nice, but tastes... just so-so. Let me taste it again."
"Damn! Big brother, you poor man can't enjoy the blessing of your tongue, let me do it!"
Everyone rushed forward and started to drink it...
......
In a corner of the slums, Xiao Shuai stood high on a newly built wooden platform. The surroundings had been cleared in advance and only core personnel were present.
Looking at the core members of the brotherhood below, Xiao Shuai's heart was filled with waves.
After the conflict between Dajing and the church intensified, he had already arrived in the Holy City, and some core members of the Brotherhood were all transferred there.
After Lai Gou'er returned from Dajing, he has been secretly transporting firearms and storing them here.
Now is really the time to do something big!
Xiao Shuai raised his hands high and shouted to everyone: "Brothers, we have arranged the manpower to attack the Holy City a few days ago. Today is the time to act!"
"The world has suffered from the church for a long time! The brothers in my fraternity just want to have a full meal and a stable family. They work diligently every day, but most of their income is taken away by the church. Why can the people in the church sit back and enjoy the fruits of their labor, exploiting them in the name of God and indulging in pleasure?"
"They distort the Holy Word, are selfish and have no mercy. How can such a church exercise authority on behalf of God?!"
"We are not rebelling! Nor are we trying to deny the words of God! Instead, we want to take back what belongs to us, our stable life!! These thieves who pretend to be in the name of God will be punished by God, and today we will enforce justice on behalf of God!"
"Kill! Kill! Kill!" The crowd below was filled with excitement.
As the most core members of these brotherhoods, their hatred of the church is unquestionable.
His life improved after he joined the fraternity. In addition to the constant education within the fraternity and the church's external slander of the fraternity, he had already hated the church to the core.
"Put on your turbans! Our reinforcements are just outside the city. They are a group of Orientals. Remember not to clash with them!"
Xiao Shuai's eyes gradually became sharper: "Team One! According to the original plan, you will be responsible for dealing with the guards outside the slum wall."
"Teams two to ten, follow me into the Temple Mount!"
"The rest of you will lie in ambush near the shops on the main street. Place explosive packs on the street in advance. Once you encounter the guards' support, immediately explode and open fire!"
After making simple arrangements, Xiao Shuai looked at Da Zhuang and the other two around him.
These three people are the most reliable. They all work hard for the Jinyiwei, so the crucial parts must be given to them.
"After I'm done with this, the three of you should wait for the right moment and take the large amount of gold and silver that you prepared to incite the crowd inside and outside the slums. Go out and cause trouble, and don't make any mistakes."
"When I reach the foot of the Temple Mount, I will immediately send out the signal to attack from both inside and outside!"
Da Zhuang and others said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, we are ready."
Xiao Shuai smiled grimly and said bitterly, "Damn it, I didn't expect that this day would come to pass! After being chased for so long, it's finally time for revenge!"
