Chapter 173 Rescue out of the city
Chapter 173 Going out of the city to rescue
Shi Chuan faced Shi Yanei, smiled and interrupted, "It's still Yanei who has the means. The whole city of Haizhou has been martial law. Unexpectedly, Shi Yanei can enter and exit without any hesitation."
Shi Yanei curled his lips and said disdainfully: "Martial law is for the common people. I am a yamen, so naturally no one dares to stop me... Let me tell you, I returned to the main road the day before yesterday and planned to visit you that day, but I was lazy and missed it. I just went out yesterday when I encountered this disaster - the disaster happened. I immediately went to Chu Suzhen's house and learned that Chu Suzhen was going out to visit friends and was locked outside the city, which had been delayed for two days.
This time, Dalang went to the countryside and happened to help me visit Miss Suzhen... Well, I heard that she went to a handkerchief home in Duzhuang. I thought, if she had been staying in Duzhuang, the village would protect her well, but if she encountered riots on the road, then..."
Shi Chuan interrupted Yanei with a smile and asked, "Is there any news about your brother-in-law?"
This was a question knowingly. Shi Yanei was stunned for a moment, bowed gratitude and replied in a hurry: "It's urgent, Dalang, I also know that this kind of thing should not be suspicious. Even if it really happens, it's impossible to cover up the right side. It's not a matter of a girl's reputation. Isn't it said that starving to death is a little bit of a loss of integrity... But Dalang, life is more important than anything else, and everything else is bullshit.
I know Dalang, your temperament, I believe you, Dalang, you will definitely not be a person who is too talkative and uncompassionable. If you leave this to you, you will definitely help me save Miss Chu. No matter what happens, as long as Miss Chu can come back alive."
Shi Yanei looked anxious and held Shi Chuan's hand and shook it. Shi Chuan had to lower his head gently: "Don't worry, I will help you find Miss Suzhen for something easy. But Miss Suzhen is different from those abducted people. She is famous and has no flaws in her behavior - I keep this in my heart, don't talk about it everywhere."
"Of course, of course, if you agree, then I'll be relieved - you and my brother-in-law are the same kind of people, and there is nothing you can't do in this world... Oh, I just talked about my brother-in-law, and he has no news yet. I told you that my father needed a painting and calligraphy from the Tang Dynasty to please Mr. Cai. Now there are chaos everywhere, and my father wants to keep his position.
This matter is urgent. Have you been looking for that book and painting? Also, the new wine brewed this year seems to have been released. According to the practice of previous years, I will give it to the Shi family part. I will definitely not treat you badly at the price."
After pausing, Shi Yanei explained: "My father gave his colleagues four kinds of dew wine every year. Everyone is used to it. This year, he suddenly didn't give gifts. People think something happened to my father suddenly. OK, good, I have never been in a timely manner and have caused more harm. If they have evil intentions... At this time, my father's support is inevitable."
Shi Chuan nodded: "I remember giving you a few jars of wine dew... Is it too little? Well, the rest of the wine is stored in the tofu Xishi cellar. I will tell you to move it yourself."
Shi Yanei shook his head: "Although I can walk casually on the street, I can't leave the city. Your country house probably has enough wine. If not enough, there will be a hundred jars of various things. It's feasible. I'll send a few servants to you and you will send them directly from the countryside to Wuwei Army... Ah, if calligraphy and painting are also here, Dalang will take them with me and transport them directly from the countryside to my father, which is more convenient."
This is the right one. Shi Yanei was worried that Shi Chuan was not enough, so he tried to send his own staff to help, but everyone knew about his relationship with Chu Suzhen, so he could not use the name of rescuing Chu Suzhen, which would lead to misunderstanding that Chu Suzhen had fallen into bandits, which would affect Chu Suzhen's innocence... Shi Chuan nodded and agreed: "No problem, I have enough wine in the countryside, and the calligraphy and painting you need are also in the countryside."
Shi Yanei grabbed a man with his hands: "This is my brother sent by my family. Twenty-Yilang, who is seven or eight months younger than me. I asked him to bring twenty servants. If there is not enough staff, you can find a few servants nearby to help me. My father will definitely be rewarded."
Oh, Shi Yanei is the 11th Lang, this guy is the 21th Lang, but he is only seven months younger than Yanei. His father is really capable of giving birth
This is a very shy big boy. Compared to Shi Yanei's generousness, this boy looks very young. Although he is very strong and looks very capable, he always hides behind people and is caught by Shi Yanei, as if he is in great horror. He lowers his head and looks only at the toes.
After delaying for so long and talking a lot of gossip, Shi Chuan was a little anxious. He urged: "Okay, the suburbs are in chaos now? Don't delay, let's set off immediately. Please take care of these girls in my city."
Shi Yanei bowed: "No problem, you are outside the city, I am in the city, please give you all the things outside the city. Don't worry about everything in the city, I have enough staff here."
"Since you have enough staff, I'm not polite. I'll take away all the black servants at home and leave all the women to you."
"Hehe, do my brother-in-law's black maids? I know their abilities and know how to use them. Don't worry, I will move to Tofu Lane tomorrow and will never treat your little lady unfairly."
Shi Chuan was naturally no longer polite, and summoned six servants, plus four little black slaves to accompany him... Now, he alone brought more than a dozen generals and twenty-one Shi family servants to accompany him. This team had exceeded all the armed forces of the county government. With such a brigade, Shi Chuan ran tightly towards the city gate.
At the gate of the city, Wang Xiaochuan took out the official documents given by the government and asked the soldiers guarding the city to check it out. While asking casually, "I heard that the four towns outside the city are in chaos. What's going on now?"
In fact, Wang Xiaochuan's words were redundant. Outside the closed city gate, there were constant slap sounds. The people blocked outside the city kept calling on the soldiers to open the city gate so that they could enter the city to take refuge. Among the shouts, some people who knew the soldiers guarding the city directly called the soldiers' nicknames, narrating the story of their relationship and their kinship, and demanding to open the door with confidence.
There are also rich people who directly scold the soldiers and threaten them to do whatever they want if they don’t open the door... Of course, in the end, they beg for more soft words.
In short, there was noisy outside the city, and the entire city gate was filled with buzzing sounds, as if tens of millions of bees were flying.
After checking Wang Xiaochuan's documents, the city guards handed the documents back in a buzzing sound, and frowned and replied weakly: "I don't know anywhere else. My city gate alone had seen countless urgent documents last night and submitted them to the county and prefectures. Now, not only our Haizhou, but also those in neighboring prefectures have sected bandits to cause trouble. Alas, it's really a turmoil in the world."
This is the disadvantage caused by the weak grassroots armed forces. Although the grassroots in the Song Dynasty relied on the management of township rules and regulations and saved administrative expenses, if there was something wrong, it would be that there was no leader and lack of countermeasures. When encountering a decisive grand yin, such as Zhang Shuye, you can still know that you will immediately dispatch the generals to attack the four towns. If you meet a complete scholar, you will probably just sit in the yamen and tremble and let the situation expand further.
Wang Xiaochuan carefully folded the documents and put them in his arms. The city gate official was asking him to be careful. He first opened the door a crack, and then poked the sword and gun out and waved it randomly. Shizhi felt a little reluctant to let him go, reminding him: "Be gentle, what should I do if I hurt someone?"
The city gate official continued to dance wildly in the crack of the city gate, and replied without looking back: "General, you don't know that if someone takes the opportunity to break into the door at this time, if there are masters hidden in it, the people of our Haizhou City will be finished... I said, it is the man's business to identify the gangsters. We are a little official, please beware of your wife and children, and don't let someone squeeze in at the opportunity."
A few screams came from outside the door. The city gatekeeper took back the knife, glanced at the blood stains on the knife, and nodded with satisfaction: "Now, no one dares to squeeze in, guys, open a small gap and crawl out."
Several gatekeepers did not dare to delay, so they immediately squeezed out, poked out their swords and guns and waved them. When they forced them to retreat from the crowded person at the door, Wang Xiaochuan quickly bowed: "Dalang first, please, you are tall and fierce. If you go out, they will definitely not dare to squeeze forward."
The city gatekeeper shook his head and said, "It's time for Dalang to go out first. I tell you, originally I just wanted to open the small door and let you go out, because there are carriages in your team, so I opened the door. Dalang, I am responsible for the sky-spreading relationship, don't harm me."
What a big deal, I was afraid that my brother would not agree... Shi Chuan pushed open the soldier who blocked the door with disapproval, drew his sword out of the sheath, and then easily squeezed out of the crack of the door with a bright knife.
There are crowds of people outside the door, most of whom are fleeing with big bags and small bags.
This is the case with the city gate here, and I believe the situation of other city gates is similar.
Shi Chuan stood at the door, glanced at everyone, responding to his fearful eyes. Shi Chuan raised his voice and shouted: "People from all townships, the Dayin people have an order: send yamen runners and their effectiveness, be brave, go to various townships to restore order. The villagers let me go, and we will go out to help you restore order in your hometown."
As Shi Chuan said, he kept rushing out of the door with a knife and a gun. Seeing this, the people around him felt a little more stable. Shi Chuan continued to shout: "Dear fellow villagers, it is not easy to live in the city, and it is difficult to make a living at a very high price. Now the government plans to restore order in each township. If you believe in us, you might as well follow us back.
The villagers, now that the summer harvest is almost over, why don’t you all leave the rice that is about to mature at home? Why don’t you all disperse and go home alone. The government will send people to various counties and never let evil people run rampant everywhere."
Half of the city gate was opened, and Shi Chuan's carriage was carried by Shi Chuan. During this period, there were some crowds in the remaining city gates. Zhang Shuye, who had been patrolling the city, witnessed Shi Chuan comforting the people with his own eyes and immediately sent people to other city gates to make the same arrangement. Soon, the riots at various city gates subsided, and the people gathered at the city gate followed the team of utility and set off on the way home. Zhang Shuye also wrote down the name "Shi Chuan"...
