Farming and reading family

Hua Jianxing sent people to monitor the yamen to see how many yamen runners were entering and leaving.

They also kept an eye on several wealthy households to see how many bodyguards they had.

They kept buying things just to get familiar with He County and check out the local area.

Ji Wuyang and his men were very low-key. After sneaking into He County, they relied on military rations and did not go out. Naturally, they did not attract the attention of Hua Jianxing and others.

Five days passed like this. One night, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse. The wind whistled through the alley, making the doors and windows that were not closed tightly rattle.

Hua Jianxing and his group walked quietly on the street, killed the night watchman, and went straight to the yamen to set fire.

Cao Geng remained very vigilant these days and immediately struck the gong when he saw the yamen on fire.

When the people in the city heard the sound of the gong, they opened their doors to check, and the refugees lurking at their doors took the opportunity to rush in.

Hundreds of refugees were divided into more than ten waves and quickly robbed more than a dozen wealthy families.

This caught Ji Wuyang off guard, and he took his men directly to the county government office to protect Cao Geng.

Soon, screams were heard one after another in He County. Those refugees robbed things and killed people. They were clearly bandits.

"Don't worry about me, go and save people." Cao Geng saw that the yamen could not be saved.

Ji Wuyang brought people over.

Although he did not have the advantage in numbers, he was well-trained and killing a few refugees was no problem for him.

Hua Jianxing thought that everything would be smooth sailing and that by killing the county magistrate, he could easily control the entire county.

Who knew that suddenly more than a hundred people with good skills rushed out and killed them, forcing them to retreat step by step, and finally had no choice but to escape.

After leaving He County, they didn't know which way to run. They just thought there was a road that was easier to walk on, so they ran as fast as they could.

There were also people patrolling Luoyun Village at night. When they noticed a large group of people approaching, they immediately struck the gong.

The people in Baotou Village immediately became alert when they heard the sound of the gong.

When Hua Jianxing and his men heard the sound of the gong, they subconsciously wanted to kill and silence the witnesses, but the other party had more people.

Chu Rong and his men ran over with weapons in hand and quickly became friends with Hua Jianxing and his men.

Hua Jianxing and his men were just a group of ruthless refugees. How could they be a match for the people trained by Chu Rong? They were quickly beaten and surrendered.

Gao E woke up in the middle of the night and soon found out that the intruder had been subdued, so she simply slept until dawn.

"Do you want to go and take a look?" Lu Qingluo didn't go out last night.

Gao E planned to go and see after having breakfast, but Uncle Zheng came to call her, so she had to go and see.

More than a hundred people escaped last night, more than twenty died, most of the rest were injured, and only a few were not injured.

"We are also forced to do so. Those landlords, rich people and officials do not treat us as human beings and do not give us a way to survive..." Hua Jianxing cried out their helplessness.

Normally, it is the tenants and farmers who are easily moved by him and might even join them in causing trouble.

But the people of Luoyun Village and Baotou Village did not react at all.

They thought the boss was pretty good. He collected a little rent, but also helped them make money. Since coming to He County, they have lived better than some small landlords.

Not to mention the people in Batou Village, they don’t think the Chen family is a landlord at all.

If the Chen family is a landlord, then there are more landlords.

If it weren't for the Chen family, they wouldn't even dare to imagine living such a life.

So no matter how Hua Jianxing used his eloquence, no one paid any attention to him.

"This way." Zheng Fengan brought Gao E over.

Gao E recognized Hua Jianxing at a glance. How did this man become a traitor?

Hua Jianxing didn't recognize Gao E: "I am also from the poor masses, we are all the same people."

"Who is your own people?" Gao E said angrily. "Mr. Hua has a BMW, a beautiful woman by his side, and he single-handedly instigates a conflict between outsiders and the gentry of He County. He is a man of great talent."

Hua Jianxing was stunned. He didn't expect that someone in He County remembered him.

"You've got the wrong person." Hua Jianxing tried to deny it.

Gao E laughed. How could the person she had robbed admit his mistake?

"Send someone to confirm the situation in He County first." Gao E heard the sound of horse hooves and looked over.

Yu Wei saw how many people were here and stopped his horse: "Wow! These people actually ran here."

Gao E looked at You Wei: "How is things in He County?"

You Wei clasped his fists and said, "Last night, these refugees burned the government office and robbed dozens of households. Brother Wu and his men captured some of them, and the rest escaped."

"Then it should be here." Gao E took a look and said, "Both Batou Village and Luoyun Village should send some people to He County."

"Okay." The person on the side agreed.

Hua Jianxing was a little dumbfounded. His grand plan hadn't even begun, so why was it going to end?

He hurriedly knelt beside Gao E and said, "Madam, you sent me to the dog official's hands, and it is the dog official's merit. If you don't abandon me, I am willing to stay and be a slave for generations."

"You?" Gao E looked at Hua Jianxing. "You have been a slave for generations. Does this mean I have to find you a wife?"

The people around laughed and pulled Hua Jianxing aside.

"Our Lord Cao is a rare honest and upright official. Don't talk nonsense here." Zheng Fengan said with a smile.

"Impossible." Hua Jianxing looked at Zheng Fengan's firm words and said, "There is no official in this world who is not corrupt."

"Come on, I think you are a smooth talker and you never tell the truth." Chen Jie said with disgust.

After confirming this, everyone found a few flatbed trucks to transport the bodies to He County.

Not long after You Wei left, Jin Ruyi came back.

"I was scared to death last night." Jin Ruyi began to talk about what happened last night.

If Gao E had not reminded her before that they should guard the gate well in case of chaos and not let anyone break into the yard.

"How many people died?" Gao E frowned.

Hearing Gao E ask this, he sighed, "I don't know how many there are. The streets are covered in blood."

Gao E thought about it and felt that Hua Jianxing was probably trying to make a feint to the east and attack in the west, first burning the government office and then robbing the rich families in the city.

However, she did not expect that Hua Jianxing and his men would try to occupy He County, rob and kill the gentry and wealthy families in the city, and then kill the county magistrate, and He County would become a mess.

There is some strategy, but if your intentions are not right, you will never succeed.

The gates of He County were closed again, and Cao Geng led people to check the casualties in the city.

If Gao E's men had not been in the city last night, the outcome today would have been different.

"Sir, please make the decision for us." A woman knelt in the street.

The people on one side knelt down one after another.

Many people died last night, and these people are at their wits' end.

"It was you who made a fuss and asked Lord Cao to let the traitor in." Aniu said angrily.

Those people are a bit shameless.

Of course they knew about this, but they didn't expect that they were actually traitors.

"The rebels in the city have been killed, and I will bring those who escaped to justice as soon as possible." Cao Geng promised.

At this time, You Wei rode over and saw Lord Cao dismount and salute.

"Sir Cao, those rebels fled to Baotou Village last night and have all been brought to justice. The bandit leader Hua Jianxing was also captured alive." You Wei reported.
