Chapter 236 Riots in the City
The moment when the people in the city gathered and killed the officials.

They suddenly discovered that this group of people riding on the heads of the common people to do their best is nothing special. Everyone has two eyes, one nose, one mouth, and one life!

Why, you will be superior to me in that official uniform?
If you want to take away what belongs to me from me, then you have to make up your mind.

Either I die or you die!
Soon, this idea spread to the hearts of many people in the city.

The people took out sickles or hoes from their homes one after another, gathered together, and launched an attack on the homes of the fish and meat people, greedy officials, and corrupt gentry and landlords!

Among them, the ones that were hit the hardest were the mansions of the big salt merchants in the city.

"Master, it's not good. There are many people gathered outside the mansion, and they still hold hoes, sickles and other weapons in their hands."

"Right now, they're knocking on the door outside!"

I saw the housekeeper of Li's mansion rush in and report to Li Yide.

"What, these unscrupulous people are so impatient, they even dare to smash the door of my Li family!"

"Let all the guards in charge of the courtyard take up weapons, put on armor, and beat this master hard, no matter whether they live or die!"

After listening to the news sent by the housekeeper, Li Yide couldn't help being furious, and immediately gave orders.

"Master, is this too risky, after all armor and weapons..."

After listening to Li Yide's order, the housekeeper's face was full of hesitation.

"When is it, are you still thinking about this? My lord, let me tell you, if these gangsters rush in, none of us will be able to escape."

Li Yide's expression was ferocious, and he grabbed the butler by the collar and said word by word.

"Yes, it is the master, I will give orders now."

The butler was startled by the expression on Li Yide's face, and quickly responded.

Just when the housekeeper wanted to leave the room, Li Yide stopped him.

"By the way, when I sent you there earlier, Commander-in-Chief asked for help. What did he say?"

"Master, Commander-in-Chief said that reinforcements will arrive soon, so you don't have to worry!"

Hearing this, the butler quickly turned around and responded respectfully.

"Well, if that's the case, I'm relieved, master, you can go down."

Li Yide was very satisfied with the butler's answer, and then waved his hand to signal him to go down.

"Yes, sir."

After the butler responded, he quickly left.

Li Yide looked at the back of the butler leaving, and said with a sneer: "Hmph, a group of poor ghosts, also want to fight with this master?"

"Look at how my lord will deal with you, you will find your teeth all over the place!"

……

"Everyone work harder, this door will be knocked open by us soon!"

"That's right, we must make these hoarders and greedy salt merchants pay the price they deserve!"

"I'll count one, two, three, everyone work hard together!"

Outside Li Yide's mansion, a large group of angry people were gathering at the moment.

The people did not know where to find a log, and hit the magnificently decorated gate in front of them one after another.

"One, two, three, everyone work hard!"

Immediately there was a muffled 'bang', and the door in front of him remained motionless, only a little paint had fallen off.

"Continue, you will be able to knock the door open soon!"

Everyone was not discouraged, they quickly took a few steps back, regrouped, and slammed the log against the gate!

I don't know how many times I tried, and finally, when the log hit the gate, it made an overwhelmed 'squeak' sound!

Seeing this, the people present all cheered and cheered, which meant that, once again, this gate that blocked many people would be completely destroyed.

But at this moment, a change occurred, and the already crumbling door was suddenly opened, and countless guards in armor and holding weapons rushed out from inside.

Without any explanation, he picked up the weapon in his hand and slashed and killed the people at the scene.

And most of the people have sickles and hoes in their hands, so how can they defeat the armored and strong servants?
Therefore, the casualties were heavy soon, and this goal had to be temporarily abandoned.

And at this moment, there was a sound of neat footsteps from a distance.

I saw a group of soldiers walking towards Li Yide's mansion with neat steps.

"Ah, the officers and soldiers are here, everyone run!"

"Everyone, run this way!"

"Ah, there are also officers and soldiers here!"

"Since we can't run away, let's fight with them!"

"Yes, just fight with them!"

Soon, the surviving civilians waved the simple weapons in their hands, roared and rushed at the soldiers, and were quickly strangled to death.

A thick and disgusting smell of blood filled the air.

"Go in quickly and see if there is any accident, this is what the Commander-in-Chief personally ordered us to do!"

After dealing with the people at the scene, the chief among the soldiers quickly stood up and gave instructions to his subordinates.

"Yes!"

After taking the order, these subordinates quickly entered Li's house to check the situation.

And Li Yide felt relieved after seeing these soldiers personally sent by the commander of the capital.

"You came just in time, and almost had an accident."

"Where, the Commander-in-Chief personally asked me to come here to protect your safety."

"With us here, these mobs can't even think of hurting a single hair of your hair!"

Seeing this, the previous officer reassured Li Yide.

Seeing this, Li Yide nodded, then called the housekeeper, and after whispering a few words, the housekeeper took orders and left.

After a while, the butler came back quickly, followed by a few servants, and the servants were holding a tray in their hands, and the tray was covered with white silver.

The attention of the soldiers on the scene was attracted by the silver, and their breathing became short of breath.

"This is a little bit of kindness from Mr. Li. Next, I'll leave it to you all!"

With a warm smile on Li Yide's face, he said so to everyone.

"In that case, it's hard for us to refuse!"

"Don't worry, with us here, nothing will happen!"

The previous officer, after taking the largest share, distributed the rest of the silver taels to the soldiers at the scene.

"So good, so good."

After Li Yide finished speaking, he picked up the teacup on the side and took a sip.

……

On the other hand, Jiangxi governor Cao Shunhe has been under house arrest since he returned to the government office.

Those guards didn't allow him to leave the study room, as long as he wanted to leave, he would be politely persuaded to go back, and even when he went to the toilet, he would be accompanied by a special person!

At this moment, Cao Shunhe had already deduced from their daily conversations that there should be riots in the city!
"The group of salt merchants must have turned their backs on their promises and did not act according to the previous agreement, which caused the riots in the city just now!"

Thinking of this, Cao Shunhe put down the book in his hand, looking distressed.

"When will the imperial army arrive here!"

Cao Shunhe turned his gaze to the outside of the study, and said silently to the guards who were in charge of monitoring him.

"No, I have to find a way to get out of here."

"If this continues, the people in the city will suffer!"

"At that time, they will definitely mobilize the soldiers from the guard station to quell the riot. The people are unarmed, how can they fight against the officers and soldiers who are armed to the teeth!"

Cao Shunhe thought so, and then made up his mind, he wants to escape from here!
