Chapter 348 Chaos
Chapter 348 Chaos
The door of Lin Mansion.
"Hey, what's going on? Why is the city in such chaos?"
Wen Yue stopped a city guard and asked.
The city guard stopped, took a breath, and said:
"There are a few troublemakers in the city, and they will kill everyone on sight. Miss, you hide in the house first, and then come out when the city is safe."
After that, the city guards followed the team again.
Wen Yue also wanted to stop the other party and ask about the situation, but maybe it was because the wind was too strong, so the other party did not stop again.
"You guys, come with me and take a look."
Wen Yue spoke to the guard on the side.
If this happens, if it is not dealt with in time, there may be even greater chaos in the city. By then, Lin Xiaofan's official position may also be impeached.
In short, she couldn't ignore it.
"Miss, but County Magistrate Lin has an order..."
One of the guards spoke hesitantly. They are all those who have followed Lin Xiaofan from the beginning, and usually only follow Lin Xiaofan's orders. But the young lady in front of her seemed to have an unusual relationship with Lin Xiaofan.
"Sister Yanyan, we just need to stay in this mansion."
At some point, Chen Xue also walked to the door, with the maid in green following him for protection.
In the past few days, she had gradually become familiar with the girls in the mansion.
"Xiaoxue, if we don't go, more people may die."
Wen Yue was a little anxious.
"If we go and there is no one to guard the mansion, if we are attacked then, the losses will be huge. According to my guess, Lin Xiaofan should have a lot of secrets, right?"
Chen Xue said calmly.
Although this era is a bit chaotic, it is not like there will be a bunch of lunatics killing everyone on sight. They must have been instructed to do this. And the people behind it have plans for the city.
But a place like Degao Town is not even considered a middle-class place among all the counties in the country, and it is not on the border. What good plans can it have? If it is true, only Lin Xiaofan's house will be in trouble.
Hearing this, Wen Yue thought about it carefully and understood the reasoning behind it, feeling frightened in her heart.
Fortunately, I didn't take anyone out, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.
At this moment, screams suddenly came from the distance, and they were getting closer and closer.
The voice fell into the hearts of the two women, making both of them tremble unconsciously.
Two black shadows ran at great speed from a distance, and the slave in green clothes drew out the blade as if facing a formidable enemy.
"Don't do anything, we are the secret guards of the Jian family, and we are now taking orders from County Magistrate Lin."
Two black figures stopped at a safe distance, and one of them took out the Jianjia brand.
Chen Xue took it and saw that it was indeed from the Jian family. It's just that at this critical moment, she can't trust others based on a brand.
"Sixty or seventy masked men in black with knives suddenly rushed out from a distance. It seems they are coming here. Some of you, please return to the courtyard."
One of the secret guards spoke.
"Sixty or seventy people!"
When Chen Xue heard this, her expression changed drastically. The other party was obviously prepared, and these people were by no means a mob. But now, most of the people in the Lin Mansion are wounded and female relatives, and they can't even pick out a few who can fight.
Although she is said to be a martial arts practitioner, there are probably not a few martial arts practitioners among the sixty or seventy people on the other side.
"Go to the Yamen and call everyone there. Come on, let's go to the house first!"
Chen Xue said immediately.
The door slowly closed, and countless footsteps could be vaguely heard heading this way.
"You guys, block the door!"
Chen Xue opened her mouth and ordered several guards guarding the door.
The door is thick enough and should be able to withstand it for some time, but it is not a long-term solution. The other party's people were causing trouble in the city, and presumably they had already attracted the city guards and others away. It would take time for them to get back.
She still had to find a way to hold this group of people back.
"Wenyue, let's go call the wounded. Also, do you know where to put Lin Xiaofan's repeating crossbows? If they are there, it will be much easier to guard the gate."
Chen Xue said.
As far as she understood, that group of people were all people who had been on the battlefield and should be able to use some bows and arrows. It doesn't require them to aim more accurately. It can weaken the opponent's combat power and buy more time.
Many government officials and police officers quickly arrived at the nearest teahouse.
"Everyone, help me put out the fire!"
"Come here, put out the fire quickly!"
"here!"
"There is another person here, I don't know whether he is dead or alive."
Many people came to put out the fire with buckets of water, and some were rescuing people. The whole scene was a mess.
"Li Chuang, you take half of the brothers to arrest them, and I'll take the rest to handle this."
Guang Wencheng made an immediate decision.
Li Chuang nodded slightly and immediately picked up half of the government servants and police officers and left.
Guang Wencheng then observed the situation and found that there was well water nearby. With the help of many people, the fire could be extinguished quickly, and then he began to give instructions:
"Everyone go in first and take a look. No matter whether they are alive or corpses, fight them out. Everything is about your own safety."
"Are you the person involved?"
Guang Wencheng found a frightened middle-aged man and asked. Judging from his appearance, he must be the shopkeeper of a teahouse.
Seeing that the situation was gradually stabilizing, the shopkeeper's mood also stabilized a bit, and he said in a tearful tone:
"Sir, you have to make the decision for me! I am the shopkeeper of the teahouse. We were doing business today, and suddenly several men in black rushed in. I asked the busboy in our shop to ask what was going on, but he was killed on the spot. Die by their swords."
"Then they went around killing people in the restaurant. If I hadn't run fast, I would have been killed by them now."
"Sir, I have been busy for most of my life before I opened this restaurant. It was burned to ashes just a few days ago. I don't know what to do from now on. I just ask you to help catch these people who do all kinds of evil. People, cut them into pieces!"
"Tell me more specifically, how many men in black there were, and other details. See if you can recall some of them."
Guang Wencheng said.
"There were about six or seven people. After they came in, they started killing people everywhere. By the way, there were some people in the store who resisted, but they were not their enemies."
The shopkeeper frowned, thought for a moment and then said. Mainly because the scene was too chaotic and he couldn't remember more specific details.
The police officers and government officials acted quickly, and more than a dozen corpses were moved out.
Guang Wencheng checked the bodies one by one and found that everyone had died long ago. Moreover, the group of people were ruthless and cut off all the vital parts. At first glance, they looked like a group of well-trained killers.
Six well-trained killers attacked a teahouse and killed everyone on sight. From the looks of it, it's probably not a vendetta, just a simple riot.
But in addition to killing a few insignificant people, the only effect of doing so is to cause chaos in the city and increase public security troubles.
Wait, it’s going to be chaotic...
If the city is in chaos, the public security will also be in chaos. The city guards, policemen, and government officials are exhausted, and if someone else takes action, it will be easy to succeed.
The first thing he thought of was the Yamen. There was a lot of money and food in the Yamen's warehouse.
"Brothers, go back to the Yamen!"
Guang Wencheng spoke, feeling a little panicked. A total of seven or eight people were left to guard the Yamen, which could be said to be defeated in one attack. And the other party's goal is probably there.
