Water Margin: The opening scene involves assassinating Emperor Huizong of Song and forcibly taking L

After all, the city gates were wide open.

It looks really weird.

If someone from Yuncheng County were to surrender the city,

Someone should come out to greet the Liangshan cavalry.

If it weren't for surrendering the city...

The garrison in the city

Seeing the Liangshan cavalry approaching,

Why don't you close the city gates?

"Brother, I'll take some men up to check it out,"

Jiao Ting said in a low voice.

"Um,"

Zhao Yuan nodded.

He instructed,

"Be careful, don't rush into the city."

"Don't worry, brother, I understand,"

Jiao Ting cupped his hands in greeting.

He led a dozen or so cavalrymen and rode to the city gate of Yuncheng.

The open city gates remained completely still.

Without any face, they cautiously led their people forward.

Behind the city gate,

This place was originally intended to be garrisoned by troops.

There wasn't a single person there either.

"strangeness,"

Jiao Ting muttered to himself.

Yuncheng's city walls did not have barbicans.

Once you enter the city gate,

The entire city was now on full display.

Thinking of this,

They're too ashamed to care about anything else.

He spurred his horse and charged straight into the city gate.

Behind the city gate,

It was also a scene of chaos.

Not far away, there were four more groups of people who had fled.

Jiao Ting led his cavalry in pursuit.

They directly stopped a man carrying a load on a shoulder pole who was trying to escape.

"Sir, spare my life! Sir, spare my life!"

"Sir?"

Jiao Ting rolled his eyes in annoyance.

"Don't be afraid, you brave man! We are from Liangshan!"

"So, they were heroes from Liangshan!"

The man wiped the cold sweat from his brow.

"We thought it was the government's defeated troops coming over."

Liangshan Deshang Town is not far from Yuncheng.

There are many poor people in this city.

In the past, they had gone to Liangshan's commercial town to sell goods.

Therefore, regarding the soldiers of Liangshan...

I'm not really scared.

"What's going on? Where are the soldiers guarding the gates of Yuncheng?"

Jiao Ting asked,

"I heard it's because the county magistrate hasn't paid them their salaries for several months,"

The man replied,

"The guards and their servants all went to the county government office to ask the magistrate for their pay."

"Many poor people also went to the county government to ask the magistrate for the money and grain that had been collected earlier."

"The city has suddenly erupted into chaos?"

Jiao Ting's face was filled with a mixture of laughter and tears.

On one hand, soldiers were assigned to guard the city gate.

Meanwhile, someone was sent to inform Zhao Yuan outside.

After a while,

Zhao Yuan led the remaining cavalry into Yuncheng.

He also learned from Jiao Ting the reason why the city gates were wide open.

"I never expected something like this to happen in Yuncheng,"

Zhao Yuan found it somewhat amusing.

The reason he appeared near Yuncheng this time was...

It was only because of a report from Liangshan scouts in Yuncheng.

It is said that the news has spread throughout the city.

Rumors spread that Huyan Zhuo and Zhang Qing had surrendered to Liangshan.

This news is clearly a rumor.

Zhao Yuan was originally supposed to return to Liangshan today to attend the victory celebration banquet.

But after learning this news

Zhao Yuan then decided to take this opportunity to check it out.

Who knew what they would get?

However, the news came from the people of Yuncheng who had surrounded the county government office.

"Let's go check out the county government office and see what's going on!"

Zhao Yuan waved his hand.

He led a group of cavalrymen toward the Yuncheng County Government Office.

.....

at the same time,

Yuncheng obtained the county government office.

A dense crowd of people surrounded the entrance to the county government office.

And at the very front,

It turned out to be the garrison troops and government officials of Yuncheng.

"Give us back the money and grain we owed!"

"Payment! The county government owes us three months' salary!"

"If you don't send it soon, what will we eat!"

"The government has confiscated all our money and grain; how are we supposed to survive!"

.....

A large crowd of people

They made a scene and demanded an explanation from the county government.

The county government office, however, kept its two vermilion gates tightly shut.

In the courtyard behind the door,

County Magistrate Liu, accompanied by several trusted confidants,

His face was full of panic.

Standing there, at a loss for what to do.

"How could this be? How could this be!"

"These damned bastards, how dare they surround the county government office!"

"Are they planning a rebellion?!"

"Your Excellency, you must not say such things,"

Li, the county magistrate standing nearby, quickly advised,

"Liangshan is right around here!"

"The common people and the garrison outside haven't really rebelled yet,"

"What if they overheard what you said, Magistrate?"

"Feeling there was no way out, they really wanted to rebel and join the Liangshan bandits,"

"Then I'm afraid none of us will survive!"

"this....."

County Magistrate Liu was stunned for a moment.

They quickly realized what was happening.

Yuncheng is located right next to the lake.

If the people outside really rebel,

The first one who was unlucky...

It's all because of him, the county magistrate!

"So what should we do now?!"

Magistrate Liu looked at the officials behind him.

"You bunch of good-for-nothings, didn't you always say you were so capable? Why are you all so quiet now..."

Chapter 796 Better to risk one's life than one's wealth!

"Your Excellency,"

The county magistrate, Li, couldn't help but say...

"How about we take the money and grain from the treasury first?"

"Sharing some with the soldiers and civilians outside?"

"fart!"
