At this time, the Yanshenggong Mansion had long lost its former prosperity.
The once towering courtyard walls were covered in blood and feces.
The vermilion gate of the palace fell to the ground, left for the people to trample on.
Everyone knew very well that what the people were stepping on was not the door, but the face of Duke Yansheng.
All the strange mountains and rocks, flowers, plants and trees in the palace were smashed and destroyed by the people.
Some people climbed onto the roof and began to pry off the glazed tiles.
One is to vent anger, and the other is to be able to sell it for money.
"Hurry, hurry in and save Duke Yansheng!" The prefect of Shuntian almost cried as he spoke.
If something happened to Yanshenggong, his career would be over.
Just as the people from Shuntian Prefecture were about to rush in to rescue people, they saw black smoke rising from inside.
Then flames shot up into the sky and shouts were heard: "Fire! Fire!"
"Quickly let the Five Cities Army surround this place and don't let anyone escape!!" After saying this, the prefect of Shuntian Prefecture personally led his men into the palace to rescue Duke Yansheng.
The palace was full of people.
There were civilians who rushed in, as well as servants from the Yanshenggong Mansion.
It was too chaotic and many people were wearing similar clothes.
So it is impossible to tell the other person's true identity.
"Lord Yansheng, we are here to rescue you, please come out quickly!" The people of Shuntian Prefecture lined up in a long queue and shouted loudly as they advanced forward.
The people in the distance were stunned for a moment, and then they imitated the people in Shuntian Prefecture and shouted everywhere: "Lord Yanshenggong, we are here to rescue you, come out quickly."
The governor of Shuntian Prefecture was almost angry to death.
But there were too many people imitating on the spot, and there was no way to stop it, so we could only speed up the process.
At this time, Yan Shenggong was hiding under the bed to avoid the search of the people, not daring to breathe.
After he changed into the housekeeper's cloth clothes, he wanted to run away in the chaos, but he didn't have the courage.
He had no choice but to hide in the cellar to save his life.
After hiding for a while, the noise outside became much quieter.
He quietly moved his body to the side, and his numb legs felt a pricking pain.
While he was trembling with fear, he suddenly heard someone outside shouting the three words "Duke Yansheng".
He put his ear to the cellar cover and listened carefully, and heard the voices of rescue.
"Huh!" In the darkness, Duke Yan Sheng let out a long sigh: "The reinforcements are finally here."
Out of caution, he did not call for help immediately.
Instead, he raised his hands, pushed the cover of the cellar, and looked out through the gap.
After just one glance, he was so scared that he looked away.
There were indeed people outside, but they were not officers in uniform, but a group of civilians holding sticks.
Waiting for him to fall into the trap.
"That was close!" Duke Yansheng Kong Yinzhi gasped.
He put the cellar cover back on with all his strength, muttering to himself, "These farmers don't read The Exploitation of the Works of Nature anymore, they're reading The Art of War instead!"
Maybe it was because I was nervous, or maybe I didn't control the strength well.
He made a noise as he moved the cellar cover.
The people immediately noticed it and asked, "What's going on?"
"have no idea."
"It sounds like something is moving."
At this time, a servant from the Confucius Mansion was brought over, tied up.
A commoner stepped forward and asked, "Do you know where Duke Yansheng has gone?"
The servant had been beaten black and blue. He said with a sad face, "Didn't you catch him?"
"No, the Duke of Yansheng that was captured was the butler in disguise. The real Duke of Yansheng is missing."
The servant sniffed hard and said, "There aren't many places in the mansion where people can be hidden. Apart from the house, there's the cellar."
"cellar?"
"Yes," the servant said, pointing to a corner of the yard full of firewood and straw, "there is a cellar there."
The people in the yard suddenly became excited.
They quickly walked to the firewood pile, found the cellar cover, and carefully moved to the side.
When the morning sun shone into the cellar, Kong Yinzhi was almost scared to death.
"Master," the servant shouted immediately, "I finally found you."
Kong Yinzhi, who wanted to get away with it, was almost angry to death.
He pointed at the servant and said tremblingly: "I...I treated you well, why did you betray me?"
The servant's tears and snot flowed down: "Master, please forgive me. If I can't find you, I will be beaten to death by these people."
Before Duke Yansheng Kong Yinzhi could even roar in anger, he was dragged out by the people outside the cellar.
"How dare you!" Kong Yinzhi suddenly shouted, "I am the Duke of Yansheng of the Ming Dynasty. How can you blaspheme me? Let me go immediately, or my whole family will be executed."
He was used to being superior and thought that this would force the people to submit.
But he had no idea about the background of these people.
A commoner stood in front of Kong Yinzhi holding a stick and sneered, "The whole family will be executed? You think too highly of yourself."
"You...who are you? Why dare you be so arrogant?" Kong Yinzhi's voice gradually dropped to a low level.
Bang!
The commoner hit Kong Yinzhi's head hard with the stick in his hand, and shouted: "I am a loyal minister and filial son of the Ming Dynasty."
ah--
Kong Yinzhi let out a shrill scream.
Because the sound was so sharp, it reached the ears of the officials in Shuntian Prefecture.
They began to move quickly in the direction where the sound came from.
Before being beaten, Kong Yinzhi was the high-ranking Duke of Yansheng.
The people were afraid of him.
When the stick fell on him, he fell from his height.
The people were no longer afraid of him.
