Shen Xianzhu watched these people leave and take away the dead and wounded soldiers. He felt relieved and did not even hold on to the roof to slide down.
"Brother." Fortunately, Shen Lingzhu was quick to catch him, and with his senior sister and Uncle Nine pulling him on both sides, he did not slip down.
This frightened Master Fang, who was standing on the ladder, and his heart was pounding. Dong Weng's family was really extraordinary.
The neighbor on the escalator also felt weak in the knees and murmured, "Are they all gone?"
"Let's come down and rest for a while; the morning bell will ring in less than a quarter of an hour.
Once the city gates are opened, the five military camps will enter the city, and the prefectural and county governments will also send orders to the various neighborhood and village heads to conduct an investigation."
"Right away." Shen Miaozhu didn't plan to stay on the roof for long. She waved to Uncle Dai and his son who were peeking from next door, "They've all left."
After a few people slowly came down, Mrs. Hu and Mrs. Huang rushed over together and checked their own children.
Aunt Jiu also hit Uncle Jiu: "They are young, and you joined in the fun. Just now, there were shouts of fighting and killing outside, it scared people to death."
"It's okay, it's okay." They said that, but no one dared to take it lightly. Shen Xiao just drank a bowl of hot water and then jumped to the other two yards with his neighbors to inspect them before coming back.
Shen Lingzhu and his sister divided the work again, walking back and forth between the front and back yards. They did not dare to stop even when they heard the morning bell ringing on time.
The more frequent this kind of noise is, the more careful you should be when inspecting the doors and walls. After all, you need to knock eighteen times each, fast, slow, and neither fast nor slow.
Shen Lingzhu counted the number of times as she walked, and when the last bell rang, she quickly climbed up the wall.
"Xiao Zhuzi, is there someone else?" Shen Xianzhu, who was in the same group with her this time, held the crossbow tightly under the wall of the backyard.
"No, I want to go to the roof and take a look." It was about two quarters past three in the morning (around 4: in the morning), and the sky was getting light, so the visibility was better and Shen Lingzhu could see farther.
Shen Xianzhu asked her to come down and said, "The most you can see from the backyard is another family's garden. Besides, there are buildings to the west. Without fire and smoke, you can't see anything."
Shen Lingzhu looked around and said, "I want to see if I can see Sesame Street at the east end of the alley. I wonder if anyone is walking around."
Unfortunately, there is a big locust tree in the backyard of the eastern neighbor, which blocks the view, and the most I can see is my uncle's backyard.
"I forgot to ask Uncle Jiu what happened to the little thief tied up in the yard." Just as she finished speaking, she heard movement on the street again.
Since we couldn't see anything, we could only jump off the wall and run back to the front yard with our eldest brother. We just happened to hear the sound of a gong and the loud announcement from the head of the village.
Each family is required to send one male to patrol the area, and the rest of the family is not allowed to go out and must wait for inspection.
The sudden noise woke the youngest brothers and sisters, and the sound of a baby crying and the aunt and others coaxing the children were instantly heard from the main room.
On this side, Shen Lingzhu stepped back from behind the door and asked the senior sister on the roof: "Is he the real head of the village?"
"Yes, I was looking at the bloodstains outside the door with a few yamen runners." When Shen Miaozhu came down from the roof, the gate of the courtyard had been knocked.
Shen Xianzhu naturally would not let Uncle Jiu or Mr. Fang patrol for him, and when they came to search the house, it would be best if there was someone experienced and prudent to protect the family.
After the yamen runners inquired about the bloodstains, Shen Xianzhu and the male owner of the eastern neighbor followed them. Shen Lingzhu quickly pulled him back and said, "We caught a thief and are reporting it now."
Shen Xianzhu nodded: "I almost forgot, go get the key from my mother, I'll talk to the yamen runners."
However, the yamen runners did not regard the little thief as an ordinary thief and took him away immediately, because along the way they had seen more than one thief who was beaten half-crippled by the master.
All I can say is that in the middle of the night, many night watchmen and night watchmen were killed, and too many people took advantage of the chaos to cause trouble.
Fortunately, the sky was getting brighter. Although the households did not dare to open the doors, they were not so scared after hearing the constant voices.
The reason why there were more voices was that teams of government troops came in to search.
At this time, the advantage of having Master Fang around was revealed. He was more skilled than Shen Lingzhu in handing silver to the leader.
The only inconvenience is that everyone is not allowed to go out, so water supply is a little tight.
Fortunately, at about 3:00 p.m., the gongs sounded again in the alley, and everyone was able to go out to the street. Shen Xianzhu and his neighbors also came back.
Before he could finish his words, little Luan and his men came running from the Temple Street Inn to report their safety and brought a basket of vegetables.
Shen Lingzhu rewarded them with two handfuls of copper coins and asked them to go back to look after the store. He also distributed the dishes to the neighboring family who were leaving and going home.
Shen Xianzhu then went into the house to meet his mother and aunt. He then came out and told everyone, "It was Zhaowu Bo who plotted rebellion. He failed and jumped into a well and died. It is said that all those who were with him and are still alive have been arrested."
Master Fang said, "He was given this title because of the great Diao Pendant in the palace. I heard that he is a concubine."
"Will it be dealt with?" Shen Lingzhu pointed at the imperial city.
Master Fang said: "One of the barbarians is inevitable.
Oh, if one's virtue is unworthy of his position, then the blame lies with him."
Shen Miaozhu said: "It's probably because after Duke Zhong died, only the Da Diao Dian line was left, and they panicked.
I think there will be a conclusion soon, but I don’t know when my uncle will come home.
Even if uncle is busy, Dad doesn't need to go to the government office, but he should come back to report that he's safe, right? "
"How about my brother and I go to the Ministry of Industry to look for it?" Shen Lingzhu was also very worried.
As soon as she finished speaking, the gate of the courtyard opened again. Shen Lingzhu ran to the back of the door, quickly pulled the bolt and opened it. Shen Chi and the other two, covered in blood, were helped down from the large cart carrying fodder by soldiers.
"father."
"Second uncle."
"Myna."
"Eighth Master."
Everyone rushed to take the three of them. Shen Lingzhu couldn't see the fourth one. "Where's uncle?"
“At the government office, prepare the clothes and send them over.
Hiss…" On Shen Chi's side, Shen Miaozhu was already checking his injuries.
Huang Ruyue was distressed: "Husband, is the injury serious?"
Mrs. Hu pulled her to get the medicine bag because she saw that Huang Dahuai and Chen Xiaoge were also wrapped with straw bandages several times, and Miaozhu would probably have to open them before taking a look.
While Shen Lingzhu and Mr. Fang thanked the soldiers driving the carriage, they asked whether they could go to the six ministries.
After getting a definite answer, she quickly went to get the horse and donkey and harness the cart, but after Mrs. Hu had prepared everything, she forbade her to go: "Girls shouldn't go out on the street now. Your elder brother is here."
"Okay, I'll go and help Dad bandage his wound. Big brother, please try to buy some medicine." Shen Lingzhu readily agreed.
Master Fang said, "No, the clinic must be under control by now."
Shen Lingzhu thought about it and it made sense. The rebels might not have been captured all yet. She had just sent her eldest brother away when Chen Xiaoqi came on horseback with his men.
He said, "Our captain is still busy, so he ordered us to come and protect him."
These people were also injured, so Shen Lingzhu certainly couldn't let them guard the door. Instead, he invited them into the house to help apply medicine and bandage the wounds.
He asked, "What's the situation on the streets? Is traffic permitted inside and outside the city gates?"
Chen Xiaoqi: "People from the outer city can enter, but those from the inner city are not allowed to leave."
"Outside..." Master Fang didn't finish his question, but he knew what he meant. "Nothing's happening outside the city. Not even a sound from the inner city can be heard."
"It's better to deal with the rebels as soon as possible. They are a bunch of bastards." Shen Lingzhu was angry while bandaging the wound, hoping that his uncle's injuries were not serious.
