Soldiers are impulsive by nature, and they can't stand the abuse and pushing from a few officers. A captain on duty also saw his men being wronged, and thought that a small fry who was escorting prisoners dared to take his soldiers' blood. How could it be so easy? He gave a call and everyone rushed forward. Dozens of soldiers appeared at the entrance of the city gate, including some beggars and gangsters who usually relied on them for food and did things for them.

The scene became chaotic. The prisoners were already worthless and hated Master Fang and his officers. They didn't want to be the innocent victims, so most of them retreated and tried to get out of the doorway.

Everyone's thoughts were to hide if possible, to save their lives. The fastest to retreat were naturally County Lieutenant Yan, who was following closely behind them, and the thirty-seven people he was escorting.

Even if they couldn't enter the city tonight, County Lieutenant Yan didn't want to get involved in the fray. Those were the soldiers defending the city, and local officials, to protect themselves, would give them some leeway, knowing that antagonizing them would lead to bad consequences. County Lieutenant Yan, however, disdained Fang's behavior and naturally had no desire to help him. He longed for someone to teach him a lesson.

The twenty prisoners led by Hei Zi Niang, who were already following the officers and Fang, were in dire straits, desperate to escape the fray of fists, kicks, and swords. Those who had been standing further back also retreated; as long as they weren't trapped in the narrow doorway, their fate wouldn't be so easy.

The prisoners, who were only a few steps away from entering the city, knew that there was no way to retreat, so they gave it their all. They knew that they could avoid the disaster by just rushing in a few steps, so they pushed the officers who were blocking their way forward, hoping that they would make way for them to enter.

The soldiers now hate Chief Fang and his officers. Naturally, they will not target the prisoners and civilians who have no time to evacuate, and they will not draw their swords unless it is absolutely necessary.

Therefore, Heizi's mother and several other prisoners broke out of the siege without much effort. Once they entered the city, they continued to run forward, completely ignoring the officers who were surrounded by soldiers. Heizi's mother knew that her son was still waiting for her inside, and she just wanted to go in and reunite quickly. She didn't care about other people.

However, what others didn't see was that Heizi's mother and another prisoner did a "good deed" when they broke through the encirclement.

To be exact, it helped.

Fang commanded his officers to charge forward, but not everyone obeyed. The soldiers were young, hot-headed, and reckless, all working together. But the officers were different. While they might huddle together for personal gain, facing a crisis, most people were focused on self-preservation. So, while some officers listened to the orders, they pretended to drive the prisoners away and then retreated.

Heizi's mother had no other thoughts, only wanting to squeeze forward and escape to see her son as soon as possible. She was closely following a prisoner, a ruthless man who, as he passed by Fang, kicked him hard in the elbow. Fang suddenly lost his balance and swayed towards her, nearly blocking the exit she had finally cleared.

Heizi's mother was not going to stand for it. She had to get rid of the dog blocking her way, or else she would suffer. She followed without stopping, and when she leaned slightly forward to get close to the right side of Fang's body, she quickly lashed out with the dagger hidden in her sleeve, stabbing straight into his right side.

That dagger had been given to her by Jing Chunxi. After the night they surrounded the wolf pack, Jing Chunxi had secretly given it to her for self-defense. Finally being able to sharpen it today was a relief. The dagger went in and out so quickly that no blood was seen. Even the people running in right after her didn't notice the blow.

The dagger didn't pierce deep, and the spot wasn't a vital one. Heizi's mother didn't intend to kill Fang directly, but she was just so angry that she wanted to teach him a lesson.

But unexpectedly, news came out later that Master Fang was stabbed to death.

Manager Fang never expected that Chenzhou would become his burial place. Just after Heizi Niang stabbed him with the knife, he covered his waist in pain. The moment he finally stood up straight, someone took advantage of the chaos and stabbed him in the lower left side of his chest with a fatal sword.

Finally, he fell straight into the doorway, his eyes wide open, and he didn't know how he died or at whose hands.

After people died, the situation became even more serious. The confrontation between the officials and soldiers later turned into a fight between the officials and soldiers and the civilians. Some of the fighters didn't even understand the cause of the fight and just joined in the melee.

Finally, the situation was quelled after the prefect of Chenzhou arrived with all the police chiefs and yamen runners.

Many people died on both sides, and many civilians also suffered unexpected disasters.

Master Fang died, along with his left arm and right arm, a total of six people died, and seven or eight people were injured. Instead, the few who hid behind out of fear at the beginning survived.

Among the twenty prisoners including Heizi Niang, one died and two were injured. The other prisoners were not affected because they ran fast.

Eight people died and more than 20 were injured in the accident. Most of them were curious people who rushed in despite knowing something was happening. Some elderly people and children were injured by being trampled by the crowded crowd. The dead were carried away on the same day, and the injured were said to have filled the clinic.

Because of this incident, the government office in Chenzhou City was still open at night, and the entire city had a curfew for the first time. All their prisoners were forced to stand outside for two hours before they were allowed to stay.

The final result was that many officers and soldiers were put in solitary confinement, and the captain was dismissed from his post. Many civilians and soldiers came forward to testify that it was the officer escorting the prisoners who first instigated the incident.

Heizi's mother and the others were also brought in for questioning. No one defended Fang, but instead they hated them to the core and naturally pushed all the blame onto Fang. So, in addition to telling the truth, they also listed facts about Fang's abuse of prisoners, his brutal extortion, and his bullying of men and women.

They had no idea how Fang was dealt with in the end. After all, the person was dead, so how could he be dug out and whipped?

The prisoners did not suffer any injustice in the government office. They had white steamed buns with white porridge and pickles for every meal. Sometimes they could even have a meal of dry rice with two slices of meat. They were full every meal.

In order to calm the situation, the government office gave each of Heizi Niang and his group of prisoners a set of cotton coats, cotton pants and a pair of cotton shoes, which made the prisoners very happy.

"If I had known this guy would be treated this way even after he died, I would have cut a stick and stabbed him in the back a few times to vent my anger."

"If I had a knife at the time, I would have definitely stabbed him a few times to vent my anger, even if it meant chopping up the body."

Anyway, this kind of evil person who eats the court's salary but does nothing for the people should be cut into pieces and let him die without reincarnation. This is what the prisoners think. It is simple, direct and satisfying.
