At this moment, the city gates that had been tightly shut suddenly opened. A man dressed like a scholar stood at the city gates.
The bandits that were running in front saw someone blocking their way and wanted to kill him. However, just as they were about to make their move, Hu Dehai's voice came from behind them.
"Stop!"
At this moment, Hu Dehai was riding Zhou Debiao's warhorse, rushing in front of the bandits, separating the scholar from the bandits.
"Everyone, why aren't you all coming over to discipline your brothers?"
Hu Dehai loudly shouted, and those village leaders ran up, and restrained their village brothers.
"Before I enter the city, I, Hu, want to say a few words to everyone!" Hu Dehai rode on his horse, looked around and said, "Brothers, I, Hu, know that we are all from poor families. If it weren't for these government officials forcing us, we wouldn't have fallen into trouble."
Hu Dehai's words stabbed into the hearts of everyone present, and their eyes immediately dimmed. Seeing the crowd in such a state, Hu Dehai immediately took off Zhou Debiao's head and spoke to the crowd.
"That year, it was this Zhou Debiao who brought his so-called soldiers to commit all sorts of crimes. Our fellow villagers and even the poor people in Zhengzhou City have suffered greatly from this! Now that we have killed all of these beasts, it can be said that we have avenged everyone! "
"Revenge!" "Revenge!"
When Hu Dehai spoke, the crowd became extremely excited. Many of these bandits had deep blood feuds with the Zhengzhou soldiers, which was why they were able to fight so valiantly today.
Seeing this, Hu Dehai signaled for everyone to quiet down before he continued: "Today, we're going to the city to get the money. It's a good thing, but!"
Hu Dehai paused here before continuing, "There are many poor people in this city. Brothers, let me ask you, if we bully the poor, then what is the difference between us and these soldiers?"
Hu Dehai's words struck a deep chord in everyone's hearts. Most bandits were born poor, so they all had a rule in the martial arts world: poor people did not rob, poor families did not rob, orphans and widows did not rob. This time, everyone's eyes were bloodshot. Hu Dehai was worried that once these people entered the city, they would kill and rob everywhere, so he gave them a warning.
"Boss Hu, just tell us what you want us to do next!"
The impatient ones couldn't hold it in any longer and shouted at Hudehai.
"Alright!" Hu Dehai nodded his head and said to the crowd, "If everyone trusts me, then after entering the city, do as I, Hu, say. I guarantee that every brother will have a large scale of gold and silver treasures!"
"Good!" Listen to Boss Hu! "
The group of people entered the city in a hubbub.
Those who were paying attention discovered that Hu Dehai had dismounted from his horse, and was walking shoulder to shoulder with the scholar.
If Luo Lingwei and the others were present, they would definitely recognize that person as the spy who had previously delivered the letter to Luo Lingwei. It was also the Zhuge Xin mentioned by Ye Lianhe.
"Brother Zhuge, it was so smooth this time. It's all thanks to your brilliant plan!" Hu Dehai patted Zhuge Xin's shoulder and said with a smile.
Zhuge Xin smiled lightly and said, "No worries, I am just going with the flow. As for Boss Hu, I am extremely grateful that he kept his promise and restricted these heroes, saving a city from suffering." As he said this, Zhuge Xin cupped his hands towards Hu Dehai.
"Just talking about these things is enough. Tell me, what should we do next?" Hu Dehai untied the wine gourd at his waist and gulped down two mouthfuls.
"Next up, we only need to do this …" Zhuge Xin told Hu Dehai about his plan.
Not long after, everyone entered the city. At this moment, the two hundred or so soldiers who were defending the city gates were tied up and thrown onto the ground. A group of farmers were guarding them with hoes in their hands.
It turned out that at that time, when the city guards went to join the battle, it was Zhuge Xin who sent out the message. After most of the troops had left Zhengzhou, Zhuge Xin mobilized the poor people whom he had rebelled against and the remaining spies from the Mansion of the King in Zhengzhou to eliminate all the defenders in one fell swoop. Soon after, Zhuge Xin led his men to the city, throwing a rolling log and rocks at Zhou Debiao, shooting him to death with another arrow.
After the bandits entered the city, the commoners were surprised to discover that they did not loot everywhere. Instead, they scattered and guarded the four city gates. The remaining people called the commoners to the main stage of the city to listen.
At this moment, a man with disheveled hair was kneeling on the stage. His eyes were dull and dull. His grizzled hair was scattered about and he looked extremely destitute. However, everyone still recognized this person at a glance. It was the prefecture overseer.
It was also because the Zhengzhou prefecture overseer scraped the ground for a short period of time that the people in Zhengzhou were not comfortable. In order to curry favor with the dog official, the counties and counties began to search for bandits in their territories. However, he did not care about it at all. All he thought about was how to get the money. He never thought that he would end up like this.
"Fellow villagers, I believe everyone here knows who this person is! That's right! He is the dog that forced the citizens of the Zhengzhou into a corner! Now, the heavens have given us the chance to kill this dog official and take our revenge! " Although Hu Dehai had also studied for a few years, he was still a crude person in the end. He wouldn't say any impassioned words, so he spoke very straightforwardly. However, it was this bluntness that frightened the prefecture overseer so much that he peed his pants.
The commoners in the audience burst into laughter when they saw this domineering dog official. For a moment, the crowd was in an uproar as they all shouted for him to be killed.
Seeing that the time was right, Hu Dehai chopped the prefecture overseer into two halves. After the head fell onto the ground, the dead body of the prefecture overseer was trampled by the citizens, turning it into a pile of mud.
After dealing with the prefecture overseer, Hu Dehai brought people to the prefecture overseer's house and took away all his money. After that, he went to the yamen in the main state and moved all of the silver and gold.
After taking the money from these two places, Hu Dehai carefully checked and found that it was actually as much as five hundred thousand silver taels.
However, Hu Dehai did not intend to let the matter rest. First, he opened the granary and distributed food to the poor people, and then he let everyone know what kind of wealthy families there were, and finally he robbed all the rich and heartless families. At this point, almost all of the three thousand bandits received nearly two hundred taels of silver. Many poor people also received quite a bit of food because they started to store and store food.
However, there was not a single trace of chaos in the city. Other than the big families and the prefecture's prefecture's manor, everything else was in good condition.
When the news reached the capital, the imperial court was infuriated and the imperial government immediately dispatched troops
