- On the Changmen Gate Tower.
"What?" Xu Xu didn't bother to correct the slave's title, and said in shock: "What nonsense are you talking about? Aren't the officers and soldiers outside the city?"
"There are really thousands of soldiers and horses entering Panmen!" The slave said anxiously: "That's where the villain escaped from. Please think of a way, manager!"
"Why didn't you hear the siege? How did they enter the city?" Xu Xu couldn't believe it.
"We didn't attack the city at all, the Gu family opened the city gate!"
"Where are our people?" Xu Xu was stunned.
"Aren't they all transferred here?" the slave said with a sad face.
"Ah" Xu Xu's legs went weak and he leaned against the city wall, boundless fear enveloped his heart.
"Obviously, Lin Run mobilized a large army to fight the chaos in the city. He is just a small servant, fighting against the governor's army. Isn't that just trying to shake a big tree?
The guys who were making trouble with him on the top of the city were all frightened. Immediately, a large number of people sneaked away and hurried home.
Under the herd effect, more and more people are running away, and in the blink of an eye there are less than half.
Seeing that people's hearts were gone, Xu Xu followed the trend and said, "Don't panic, everyone. The officers and soldiers who are working in the dark don't know who they are. They all went back and hid. What can they do to me?"
The remaining people were all members of the Self-Defense Forces. They felt as if they had been granted amnesty after hearing this, and they all said goodbye to the boss and fled.
"Don't hang out on the streets these days. Let's get together again when the limelight is over." Xu Xu nodded in greeting with a straight face.
After a cup of tea, there was not a single person left on the city gate upstairs that had been crowded just now.
Even Xu Xu disappeared into the dark city with a group of Xu family servants.
¡°General Manager, let¡¯s get out of the city quickly.¡± Walking through the streets and alleys, his subordinates suggested anxiously.
"Since Lin Run has mobilized a large army, he will definitely set up an ambush outside the city gate. If he goes out at this time, he may fall into a trap." Xu Xu analyzed calmly.
"Then where are we going?" The men were panicking.
"Don't go anywhere, go back to the Humble Administrator's Garden." Xu Xu sneered and said: "Who dares to enter my Xu family's garden to arrest people, don't you want the hair on your head?"
"That's right." When the subordinates heard this, their expressions perked up. "Those who dare to come to the Xu family to arrest people are not even born yet!"

At three o'clock in the morning, Suzhou's gates are closed.
The heavily armed officers and soldiers held torches, illuminating the inside and outside of the city gate as bright as day.
The sergeants of the brigade carried their sharp spears and marched towards the governor's office with neat steps.
Lin Run rode on a snow-white war horse, accompanied by Cai Guoxi and others, and rode into the city gate.
After entering the city, the officials found that the streets were quiet, not to mention people and not even a dog.
Although the Gu family helped open the city gate, they did not show up to welcome the governor into the city.
It¡¯s not that they don¡¯t take Lin Run seriously, but Governor Lin has already ordered that after the army enters the city tonight, anyone who appears on the street will be treated as a rioter.
"The Dongting Chamber of Commerce has done a great job and has really brought the situation under control." Magistrate Cai breathed a long sigh of relief, and did not forget to give a high hat to the magistrate.
"Zhongcheng is like a god in using troops. He borrowed thousands of quarrymen from Jiangnan Company and attracted all the thieves to Changmen. We took back Suzhou City without spending a single soldier."
Yang Chenglin and Zhang Defu also echoed:
"Yes, yes, once the weavers and citizens go home, the rogues who cause trouble will have no cover, and their weak nature will be exposed!"
"Arrest everyone who is still wandering on the street, and we will never forgive you!"
Lin Run turned a deaf ear to the noise. He naturally knew that the riot was actually over from the moment the army entered the city.
What we have to consider now is what happens after the chaos is over.
His face was as sinking as water, and he ordered: "Let's go around the city first."
Torches lit up countless streets in Suzhou, and the people in the city knew that Lin Zhongcheng, the man who slayed demons and demons, was back.
??~~
The citizens were on tenterhooks all night, but fortunately there was no trouble overnight, and no officers or soldiers entered their homes to rob their homes.
At dawn, the citizens who got up early discovered that notices to protect the people were posted in the streets and alleys of the city.
"Xiucai, please tell me what it means." The common people gathered in front of the notices and asked the literate people to read them.
"Article 1, the bad rules and regulations imposed by the Weaving Bureau will be permanently exempted from now on!"
"Okay, this one is good!"The weavers cheered loudly, which was the source of their trouble.
With this, their anger will go smoothly.
"Second, weavers who promise to resume work today can go to the silk dealer to sign a long-term contract and receive resumption silver and raw silk on the spot."
As soon as this article was read out, the weavers called the weavers and ran out in a panic.
¡°Let¡¯s go, let¡¯s go, stop looking!¡±
¡°Hey, I haven¡¯t read the notice yet, why are you panicking?¡± the neighbor joked.
¡°Looking back, it¡¯s important to queue up for the tie and money!¡±
The weavers put down their words, squeezed out of the crowd with their weavers, and hurried away.
"Now, Suzhou City can finally come to an end" The sensible person who read the notice couldn't help but shake his head. He knew that as soon as the long-term contract was signed, the weavers would be put in a bridle. If they try to cause trouble in the future, the Chamber of Commerce can punish them. They were broke.
But if it were him, he would probably sign the same thing. In the face of livelihood, you have to rely on everything. Perhaps this is the tragedy of ordinary people.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out out to calm the mood, understand the person continues to read:
"Article 3: If someone who took advantage of the situation and robbed someone in the past few days surrenders to the county government office within three days and returns the looted items, he will not be punished. If the county issues a complaint three days later and is accused by the victim before being brought to justice, the crime will be increased to third level!"
When the citizens heard this, they completely put their hearts back in their stomachs.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? But now that the government has calmed down the riot, everyone is worried that they will be settled by the Queen
It seems that the government does not plan to pursue the case vigorously, but wants to settle the matter.
Many people quietly withdrew from the crowd, preparing to return the extra things at home to the Yamen.
Otherwise, when the announcement is released, it will be a big man in a statement, and the trouble will be great.
Na Dabai was still there and continued to read loudly:
"Article 4: Anyone who sets fire to the prefect's Yamen surrenders within three days. The accomplices will be exempted from punishment, and only the principal offender will be prosecuted"
No one took this to heart. After all, most people didn¡¯t have the guts to participate in something as exciting as the burning of the government office.
??~~
At noon, in Huaqiao, Guanghua Temple Bridge and other places where the silk weaving industry gathers, the sound of looms can be heard one after another.
By the afternoon, the sound of looms could be heard in Changzhou, Wu County.
The clicking sound that was usually quite annoying was so pleasant at this moment.
¡°As Chairman Weng said, as long as the loom is spinning, it doesn¡¯t matter how big Suzhou City is.
