Chapter 640: A Half-Baked Doctor (7)
When the others heard him say this, they felt the same way. That's right, they were originally fleeing here. If they couldn't get into the city, they would die when winter came. The only difference was whether they would starve to death, freeze to death, or be killed. Since they would die sooner or later, they might as well have a good fight before dying. At least they would enjoy themselves before they died.
"Brother Bao, we will follow you!" Others expressed their opinions to Bao Daqiang. Li Shichu had already reminded them of the risks, and if they still had to continue doing it, they couldn't blame her if anything happened in the future.
Although Li Shichu proposed that people were very courageous in order to survive, Bao Daqiang united all the strong and working men among the refugees, and they agreed on a time to start breaking into the city gate.
Although Li Shichu was the one who made the key suggestions, she was not from the same hometown as Bao Daqiang and the level of trust in him was not that strong, so Bao Daqiang did not consider her as one of his "confidants".
But this was exactly what Li Shichu wanted. She had no intention of helping Bao Daqiang to become the king. She just wanted to take a ride into Funing City, buy a shop and open a clinic.
Bao Daqiang still has some leadership skills, and he quickly integrated the most action-oriented people in the refugee group to work with him.
At around three or four in the morning, Li Shichu was told that they were preparing to break into the city.
Bao Daqiang led his men and carried knives - the knives were the refugees' own belongings. After all, when they fled, everyone took out all the belongings they could because they didn't know whether they could go back.
Li Shichu didn't have a knife, but she had a dagger.
There are many talented people among the people, otherwise there wouldn't be the saying "experts come from the common people". Bao Daqiang asked several of the most skilled wall climbers to quietly climb up the city wall.
Funing City was not a wealthy city, and because the imperial court was corrupt, the officials sent here followed suit. They were all corrupt officials and kept all the money in their own arms. Naturally, they had no money to repair the city walls, so the city walls became old and dilapidated, which was a good thing for Bao Daqiang and his men.
The people who climbed up the city wall first did not alarm the guards in the city. They let down several ropes and then pulled their own people up one by one. Before long, hundreds of people were pulled up, and Li Shichu was among them.
"Kill! Charge into the city and open the city gate!" Bao Daqiang shouted loudly, and the guards at the city gate were also alarmed. They never expected that these refugees were so daring that they broke into the city at night.
The guards who were awakened by the fright quickly picked up their weapons to resist, but they had little training, even their weapons were rusty, and they were all afraid of death and had no spirit of loyalty to their duties, so they were quickly defeated by the refugees.
Bao Daqiang didn't expect that these guards were so vulnerable and were defeated so easily. The tension in his heart was immediately relieved a lot and he became more confident. If those corrupt officials in the city also had such fighting power, then they would basically win.
Li Shichu kicked a guard away and hit him hard on the head, knocking him unconscious. The other guards were also dealt with one by one. Bao Daqiang quickly ordered people to open the city gate, and then the refugees outside the city began to come in with their families, scrambling to get in, as if they were afraid that they would not be able to get in if they were late.
Li Shichu asked Bao Daqiang to take people to deal with the officials in the city immediately and make sure that not a single one of them was left alive, otherwise there would be trouble in the future.
Bao Daqiang immediately led his men there, but after walking a few steps, he asked Li Shichu awkwardly: "Doctor Li, where is the government office in Funing City? Where are the residences of those corrupt officials? We don't know anything. What if we don't have time to find them and they get away?"
Li Shichu wanted to roll his eyes: "The government offices are usually in the center of the city, and the officials' residences are usually near the government offices, in the most prosperous areas. If you really can't find it, just look for beggars in the city and ask them to take you there. As long as you say you want to open the warehouse to release grain, the beggars will definitely follow you! By the way, don't rush to one place, you have to split up into several groups, otherwise there will really be fish that slip through the net. If you really don't know how many corrupt officials there are, then ask the local beggars!"
"Oh! I understand!" Bao Daqiang immediately had an idea in his mind after hearing it. He quickly divided the people into several pairs according to Li Shichu's instructions and went to look for beggars in the city.
Li Shichu looked at their backs and patted his forehead. This plan of forcing something to happen could be successful. It must be that God was helping them. The imperial court was too corrupt, and the prestige of the government and the ability of officials had been reduced to the extreme. This allowed the reckless Bao Daqiang to succeed. After all, it was the right time, the right place, and the right people.
Li Shichu did not follow them to kill the corrupt officials, but helped organize the refugees to enter the city. To be honest, Funing City is not a big city, and it is difficult to accommodate so many refugees. But Bao Daqiang can take out the grain from the granary to help them, and they can find a way out for themselves, because human beings have a strong instinct for survival.
In the early morning of that day, the people in Funing City heard all kinds of noises on the street, but they did not dare to get up to check. The world was not peaceful and anything could happen. If they were too curious, they would not even know how they died, so they could only protect themselves.
Bao Daqiang's action was indeed successful. When the beggars in the city heard that they would get food after killing the corrupt officials, they could not wait to lead the way without the refugees forcing them.
The corrupt officials were afraid of death and had also taken a lot of money. They were afraid of being retaliated against by the people, so they hired a lot of guards. Bao Daqiang and the refugees only had their own courage and not very sharp weapons. It was difficult for them to succeed against the fat and strong guards. But with the variable of Li Shichu, it was much easier for them, because Li Shichu gave them several large bags of sleeping pills, letting them fly in the wind, or stick the drugs on their weapons and get them on the guards, and then they could easily get rid of the guards.
After Bao Daqiang and his men killed the corrupt official, they saw a warehouse full of gold, silver, jewelry and various valuables, which were simply blinding.
"Brother Bao, these jewels are all ours?" A younger brother swallowed and asked Bao Daqiang with his eyes unable to move.
Bao Daqiang was also dazzled, and his younger brother's words awakened him. Then he realized that, yes, the corrupt official had been killed by them, so wouldn't the corrupt official's property belong to them?
He had never seen so many precious things before. Any pearl here could be exchanged for hundreds of coins. After Bao Daqiang realized how much wealth this was, even his breathing became rapid...
"Brother Bao, should we go find the granary first and then deal with these properties?" A companion with a clearer mind reminded Bao Daqiang.
"Yes, yes, we have to find a granary first and open it to store the grain..." Bao Daqiang suppressed the greed in his heart, thought of his plan, and spoke hesitantly.
