Chapter 5: Volume A, Qi Lu Qing is not finished yet

Chapter 5 Volume A: Qi and Lu Qing are not yet in trouble.

 A kite turned over, Feng You had already jumped from the earth wall to the roof of the carport lightly, and another kite turned over and fell down.

Although his face was still as stern as before, Feng Ziying could still detect some coldness and determination in the other person's eyes that he didn't have before.

 “Let’s go, Brother Keng! It’s too late if we don’t go, I’m afraid there will be bandits!”

Feng Youjiu was fighting on the border. Standing at the crenellation of the wall, he could get a rough idea with just a simple glance.

Shandong has always been a place where thieves abound. Liu Liu and Liu Qi started in Beizhili back then, but in fact they only really gained momentum after receiving the support of thieves from Shandong.

Although the crowd was in chaos and there were no riders, the number of people was at least one or two thousand. In addition, he also noticed the black smoke rising into the sky from the southeast corner. Without thinking, he knew that this was a coordinated effort. Act of.

The question that makes Feng You feel incredible and difficult to make a decision is how could bandits start in a canal hinterland like Linqing Prefecture?

You must know that no matter how weak the Linqing guards are, the guerrilla generals at the guard station can still recruit hundreds of elites. If these unarmed bandits want to fight against the elite guards at the guard station, they will almost die in vain.

But the fire in the city made Feng You feel unimaginable.

It is not something a group of bandits can do to start a fire in the city.

Where is this Linqing Prefecture? There are many water and land piers in the Northland!

There are many wealthy merchants in the city, and almost all the larger stores require a few guards. If he wants to start a firefight in the city, Feng You won't believe it without the help of the people in the city.

 The Yaxing and Lizheng Jiebao here are not comparable to other places, which is also the most difficult thing for him to figure out.

In fact, he had noticed something wrong before, but after staying in Linqing Prefecture for a few days, and before coming to Qing, he had heard that the tax inspector sent by the palace was causing outrage in Linqing Prefecture, so he didn't pay much attention to it. .

He didn’t believe that anyone would dare to seek death under Wei Suo’s nose.

But this worldly situation really caught him by surprise.

“Let’s go!” Feng You, who got off the car, lifted up the young boy who was still standing in a daze by the shaft with one hand and threw him into the car. Then he whipped his whip rapidly, causing the strong horse to gallop in pain.

The Hun people standing next to the two piles of goods were also shocked by the sudden change. Fireworks were going off in the city, and crowds of people were pouring in outside the pier.

"If you don't get out of here and find a way out, are you really going to die by waiting here?"

Feng You yelled angrily and woke up a group of people. Then the two hunks hurriedly stumbled towards the dock, presumably to find the person in charge.

Feng You didn't care much at this time. He whipped his whip repeatedly in his hand, his strong horse galloped in pain, and drove straight in.

"Uncle You, what should we do now? Can we get on the boat?" Feng Ziying took a breath and asked, ignoring Ruixiang, who fell on the carriage shaft and his eyes were red with pain.

"It's too late." Although Feng You didn't know what happened in Linqing City, his long battle of wits and courage with the Tatar cavalry at the border enabled him to smell the strong smell of conspiracy hidden here.

He dared to rebel under the nose of Linqing Guards. If there was nothing else behind it, he would not believe it.

“Then let’s go into the city first?” Feng Ziying glanced at the messy dock, and her mind was already spinning rapidly. “Shall we go into the inner city?”

“I’m afraid I won’t be able to get in.” Feng You shook his head.

If he had been the guard, he would have sealed the inner city gate long ago. No one would dare to open the inner city gate without knowing the details outside.

There, from the Prefectural Office, the Military Preparation and Road Office, the Health Department, Xuexia, to the Office of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the Office of the Chief Secretary, there was a large and varied group of people, as well as a large number of family members, and In a granary in the inner city, how could one dare to open the door easily under such circumstances?

If the bandits took the opportunity to rob it, it would really be a disaster for the entire clan, losing the city.

 The dock was already in a mess.

A group of hardworking porters running around, as well as the panicked salesmen and hawkers, and the managers of various shops and shops, etc., were all scattered like sparrows that exploded in the camp.

 Some people wanted to board the ship, but the voyage had been closed long ago and no ships were allowed to leave the shore. All the sailors were also driven to the shore. How could there be time in the hurry?

When I came here before, I felt that the market was much quieter than before, but when I saw it now, it suddenly became bustling again, but this time it turned into a chaotic mess.

Linqing Prefecture City is a little different from other places. Originally it followed the pre-Ming Dynasty and was built as a city of Brick City during the Hongwu period. However, with the opening of the Huitong River, water transportation and trade became more and more prosperous. Soon, on the Zhongzhou boundary to the southwest of Brick City, it also became a city. It is the place surrounded by Huitong River that forms a prosperous market.

However, during the Zhengde period of the former Ming Dynasty, Liu Liu and Liu Qi of Shandong launched an army, which affected the prosperous Linqing. Military resources were replenished and momentum was restored.

According to an unofficial historian, if Liu Liu and Liu Qi had not captured Linqing City and regained their momentum, I am afraid that the army of the former Ming Dynasty would not have been able to be contained in Shandong and Hebei by Liu Liu and Liu Qi, and the Zhou Dynasty would not have been able to take it in time. Jiangnan and Huguang finally laid the foundation of the Zhou Dynasty.

A flow of people poured out from the broken skin street, and several shops started to be set on fire along the line between Daning Temple and Zhugan Lane. The thick black smoke started to rage along with the flickering flames.

This is the most prosperous street market in Central Continent. Many of the storefronts are wooden structures. Once they are burned, they will probably become a continuum.

“Let’s go to the east first and see if we can open the Yongqing Gate and enter the city!” Feng You was also a little anxious.

He has realized that Linqing City is probably not doing well today. With such a momentum, the inspection department's gang of wine and food bags may have been reduced long ago, but he doesn't know why the guards in Brick City don't come out.

The Feng family's old house is in the side alley next to Yongqing Street, next to the Scorpion Pit. From the side alley, you can go directly to Yongqing Street and go north to Yongqing Gate. But the only thing unclear is whether you can shout at this moment. The gate of Yongqing City has been opened.

The Feng family is considered a prominent family in Linqing City, but in times of danger like this, the Linqing guards may not buy into the Feng family's favor.

Feng Tang was dismissed from his job three years ago and returned home. He has been idle at home and is currently looking for a comeback, so Feng Tangcai was unable to make this trip and asked Feng Ziying to take his place.

"If you go to Yongqing Gate, you should avoid Jindehui. I think the gangsters who came out of Daning Temple came from Daning Temple." Feng You actually didn't know much about the situation in Linqing City. Familiar, but at least clearer than Feng Ziying and Xiaosi Ruixiang. They roughly know the direction of the route. "Maybe we can only go to Hongji Bridge."

The streets became increasingly chaotic. Some people dressed as machine workers and weavers also rushed out from the south market and fled in all directions. In addition, there were also people setting fires in the Binyang Gate Cotton Market. Fires broke out everywhere in Zhongzhou, thick smoke rose everywhere, and shouts of killing were heard. Bursts.

 “Let’s go!” Feng You urged the horse to gallop.

The carriage bypassed the roadblock formed by the collapse of a pile of burning door panels in front of it, and then as it moved forward, a group of people could already see a group of people lifting huge logs and hitting the door of a shop.

The other two scoundrels were pulling the baggage in the arms of a young woman dressed as a musician, knocking her to the ground viciously, and snatching away the other party's baggage.

Seeing Feng You and his entourage approaching, the two gangsters' eyes lit up and they whistled. Seven or eight people from the group of people who were banging on the door immediately separated and rushed over.
