First, some people used this topic to extort money from the people. If anyone did not meet their demands, they would slander them as secret announcements, or make public comments to deceive people. This affected many innocent people. Later, some people among the people might

Greedy for rewards, or taking the opportunity to retaliate against personal grudges, they also followed up with false accusations, resulting in more and more people being killed by mistake. However, Yin Ziqi did not stop it in time after learning about this situation. He felt that as long as the city could be defended, it would be fine to accuse some people unjustly.

No matter what, the situation became more and more serious.

In the end, even the Liu family, a prominent local family in Xiangchang, was involved. The head of the Liu family, Liu Baoshan, was falsely accused by his enemies of secretly hiding the announcement, and planned to lead his tribe to open the city to meet the rebel army. In fact, some sensible people advised Yin Ziqi at the time,

The Liu family was too powerful in Xiangchang, and Liu Baoshan was well-liked, so this case had to be handled with caution. However, Yin Ziqi felt that just because the Liu family was too powerful, the case had to be handled strictly, so he arrested Liu Baoshan.

This is a hornet's nest.

The Liu family is deeply entrenched in Xiangchang. When they heard that the head of the family was arrested and there was a risk of losing their heads at any time, the Liu family decided to quit. They even mobilized hundreds of people from the clan to petition Yin Ziqi's Yamen, demanding the release of Liu Baoshan.

, but this move backfired. Yin Ziqi felt that this group of people was too courageous, so he ordered the soldiers to disperse them. There were also fierce people in the Liu family. As a result, a conflict broke out. Several Liu family members were killed and injured on the spot. The situation was now complete.

Out of control, the Liu family mobilized the entire clan and a group of old people to cause trouble on the pretext that the rebels were killing innocent people. The Liu family was already powerful, and many people were already dissatisfied with Yin Ziqi's indiscriminate killing of innocent people, so in the end it actually developed into several

With a crowd of thousands, even the rebels in the city were unable to control the situation.

There were also some sensible people in the Liu clan. They realized that it was obviously not enough for their own people to fight against the rebels. The key was to open the city and let the rebels in, so they rushed to the north gate and tried to take advantage of the chaos to open the city.

Originally, the strength of the Beimen rebels could stop them, but bad things happened because of Yin Ziqi's previous decision to kill innocent people indiscriminately.

There was a captain named Ma in the North Gate garrison. His cousin was reported by his enemies because he discussed the announcement with others in private. Yin Ziqi didn't ask any questions and just killed him. This made Captain Ma.

The captain felt dissatisfied. Now when he saw the people making trouble and talking about opening up the city, he saw that the opportunity had come. Anyway, the rebels were gone, so he might as well climb another branch. So he led a group of confidants to respond to the people and shouted loudly,

When the rest of the defenders saw that someone from their own side was responding, they immediately became confused. Some people who were weak-willed, or who were as dissatisfied with Yin Ziqi as Captain Ma also joined in. In the end, the north gate was actually opened.

At first, the rebel army couldn't believe it when they heard about it. Later, Wei Cheng suggested that he take some people to find out the truth. Li Bu also expressed his willingness to go together. Finally, Lin Yunfei asked them to take 2,000 people first.

Went to try, and actually entered the city smoothly. Lin Yunfei was overjoyed when he heard the news, and immediately ordered the entire army to attack. This time, Yin Ziqi couldn't resist it no matter how powerful he was, and finally had to lead his troops to abandon the city. Originally, he wanted to escape to the southeast.

, there was still a group of rebels there, but it was a pity that the people's hearts had dispersed at this time. Some generals who were greedy for rewards from the court actually launched a mutiny and killed Yin Ziqi's family, young and old, and then took their heads to the rebels.

Surrendered, and the Battle of Xiangchang ended with a complete victory against the rebels.

After the war, rewards were given based on merit. Zhang Xiaoquan was credited with the first credit for proposing a plan to stir up discord among the people in the city. Luo Tianbao was ranked second because of his participation. However, he felt that he had not done much this time and took the initiative to give the credit to the first person to enter the city.

Wei Cheng and Li Bu, all the generals in the army admired his behavior, and even Lin Yunfei was quite satisfied with his son.

Although Xiangchang was defeated and Yin Ziqi died, there were still some remnants of the rebels in Xiangzhou. If these people were not dealt with, they would be a disaster in the future, so Lin Yunfei immediately decided to lead his army south to pursue them, but there was no such thing here in Xiangchang.

Someone had to stay behind. At this time, Luo Tianbao took the initiative to ask Ying to take on this responsibility. His reason was this. Now that there are many generals in the rebel army, it is not appropriate for him as a young commander to compete with everyone for credit. He simply gave up the opportunity this time.

Lin Yunfei thought about it and realized that he always asked his son to perform meritorious service. Other generals may not be convinced, so it would be better to let Luo Tianbao relax a little, so he agreed.

After that, Lin Yunfei led the main force and continued to pursue the enemy south. Luo Tianbao led some of his people to stay in Xiangchang to take care of funeral arrangements and ensure supplies. In fact, Luo Tianbao had two reasons for asking to stay behind this time. He only told Lin Yunfei half of the story. In addition, Luo Tianbao had previously

I heard others say that the Du family of SF Escort fled to Xiangzhou. In other words, his junior sister Gao Yue is very likely to be here now. Luo Tianbao wanted to find out their whereabouts, so he stayed here.

The work at the rear was monotonous and trivial, and many people were unwilling to do it, but Luo Tianbao didn't care. He felt that it was much better than risking his life on the battlefield. On the one hand, he devoted himself to his duties to appease the place, and on the other hand, he specifically asked the Shu sisters to inquire.

As for the Du family, it turned out that two days later, the Shu sisters came back with joy in their faces.

"Report to the Young Marshal, we have some clues about what you asked us to investigate."

Luo Tianbao was at work at the time. Hearing this, he was immediately happy. He quickly stopped what he was doing and asked, "Really? Tell me quickly."

The Shu sisters did not answer immediately after hearing this, but looked at the people around them who were hesitant to speak. Luo Tianbao was not stupid. He understood at a glance that there were some things that were not suitable to be said in public, so he immediately asked everyone in the room to retreat.

They walked out and then asked for details. The Shu sisters finally didn't hide anything anymore this time.

"Young Marshal, the Du family of SF Escorts has indeed come to Xiangzhou, and they are now living in Xiangchang City."

"Really? How are they doing?"

"Well...actually, their family is facing a lawsuit."

"Litigation? Where to start?"

After hearing this, the Shu sisters also looked at each other and smiled bitterly, and then introduced the whole story. It turned out that before the fall of the capital, Lao Du's family left early and went south to Xiangzhou because their family had relatives who were officials in the local area. Originally, Lao Du's family

It's a good idea. Xiangzhou is far away from the main battlefield. The family can avoid the limelight here and wait and see how the situation develops before making a decision. The SF Escort Agency was known as the number one in the capital at the beginning. After so many years of operation, it has a lot of wealth. Although it is a big family.

People, if they plan carefully, can survive for three or four years even if they have no income. However, God does not follow people's wishes, and later the war really burns to Xiangzhou.

Although Deng Zhong once blocked the rebel attack when he was still alive, the situation was quite critical. The old Du family felt that it was not safe, so they planned to continue to escape. But they also encountered bad luck. At this time, Du Yulu, the head of the family, was ill and his condition was still serious.

It was quite serious. The fatigue of traveling and traveling must be unbearable. The Du family couldn't just leave him and run away. In the end, they stayed in a lucky mood. In the end, the family was trapped in the city until Yin Ziqi broke through.

Arrived in Xiangchang.

Originally, the old Du family only ran an escort agency and were not considered high-ranking officials. Whether they were in charge of the imperial court or the rebels seemed to have nothing to do with them. However, unexpectedly, some of Yin Ziqi's men used to be bandits and thieves in the green forest. These people knew about the Shunfeng Escort Agency.
