Chapter 2212 Burning, Killing, Looting
There was no resistance. The manager had already run away, and the remaining craftsmen also fled in all directions.
Zhao Tiejun cleared out a lot of warehouses in the Duke's Mansion without any effort.
There are various dukes, such as Duke of Lu, Duke of Yi, Duke of Yingguo, Duke of Wei, etc.
Cartloads of supplies were packed and taken away. During the harvest season, every family had many horse-drawn carriages; otherwise, so much cargo would not have been transported.
"Captain, look."
At this time, a team member pointed to the west and shouted.
Zhao Tiejun looked over and saw raging flames and billowing smoke not far away.
"Asshole, I told you to prevent fire, but you set the warehouse on fire."
Zhao Tiejun couldn't help but curse. Judging from the fire, the cotton must have been ignited. This was truly burning, killing and looting.
"Ignore them, let's continue and make quick work of it."
After cursing, Zhao Tiejun ignored him as their area was almost completed.
Zhao Tiejun led his men and rushed directly into the factory warehouse of Princess Linchuan's mansion.
But there was no one inside.
"Hurry up, put all the bodies away, move the cotton away, and burn everything here."
Under the command of Zhao Tiejun, each member of the Sharp Blade team carried a corpse and dumped it in different places.
Other personnel began to use horse-drawn carts to transport the cotton, which had already been packed into boxes.
At this time, a middle-aged man was brought to Zhao Tiejun.
"Where are the others?" Zhao Tiejun asked.
"Reporting to the leader, everyone ran away just now. I was too slow to run away." The middle-aged man replied.
He was the shopkeeper sent by the princess's mansion. Two days ago, the prince consort came to spy on him and told him to evacuate everyone to the Jiwang Mansion Garden if anything happened.
He should not resist if he stays.
Although the shopkeeper didn't know what was going to happen, since the prince consort said so, he could only do as he was told.
Those who can be sent here must be confidants of the princess's mansion and are very loyal.
Only today did he find out that it was rebels who came to plunder.
Looking at the steward whose face was somewhat pale, Zhao Tiejun said nothing and swung the knife in his hand.
"Ah~~~~"
The steward screamed in pain as a long cut appeared on his chest and blood gushed out.
"Run."
Putting away the knife, Zhao Tiejun said something.
After hearing this, the manager nodded and ran out of the camp.
Zhao Tiejun's knife strike was very measured, and only injured the skin and flesh, the wound was not deep.
When the steward left the station, he found a horse ready at the door. He mounted the horse and rode quickly all the way to the workshop area of Duke Zhao's mansion.
"Who is coming!"
The door to the workshop area of Duke Zhao's mansion was tightly closed, and when they saw someone coming, the soldiers immediately shouted and questioned them.
"I am the shopkeeper of Princess Linchuan's mansion. I have something important to report."
The shopkeeper immediately started shouting.
After a long while, the door opened a crack to let the shopkeeper in.
"Manager Zhao, what's wrong with you?"
When he saw the person coming, the shopkeeper of Changsun family was startled. He knew this shopkeeper, and he was indeed the shopkeeper of Princess Linchuan's mansion.
But now there was a long wound on his chest, and the blood had dyed his clothes red.
"Manager Changsun, the rebels are here, and they killed people as soon as they entered. Zhao escaped at the risk of his life, and I came here to tell you the news."
Shopkeeper Zhao stepped forward and excitedly took Shopkeeper Changsun's hand.
"Come quickly, stop the bleeding for Shopkeeper Zhao." Shopkeeper Changsun turned around and gave an order, then pulled Shopkeeper Zhao to sit down.
"Manager Zhao, please sit down and don't worry. We already know there is a rebellion, but we have 500 units in the workshop area and thousands of craftsmen.
I believe they don’t dare to attack us.”
Shopkeeper Changsun comforted him softly.
With such a large workshop area, the Changsun family naturally needs some armed forces, not only to defend against outsiders, but also to prevent the craftsmen in the workshop from causing trouble.
"Manager Zhangsun, the other side has a large number of people, at least a thousand, and they are extremely vicious and cruel.
You can't resist them, so leave here before they come."
Manager Zhao shook his head. With such a small number of people, it was like throwing an egg against a rock.
Shopkeeper Changsun frowned:
"No, my Changsun family's assets are all here, and we have invested a lot, how can we give up so easily?
How should I explain this to Lord Zhao when I return?"
"Brother Changsun, you're already dead, what else is there to tell me? If you don't leave now, it will be too late."
Shopkeeper Zhao said anxiously.
Shopkeeper Changsun understood what Shopkeeper Zhao meant, but if he fled without fighting, he would not have a good ending when he returned.
"Brother Zhao, I'll have someone treat your wound, and you can escape on your own.
I have only one request. Brother Zhao should have fled to Prince Ji. I implore Brother Zhao to inform Prince Ji and ask His Highness to send troops to rescue us.
Just say that the Duke of Zhao is grateful.”
Everyone knew that Prince Ji had come to Xizhou, especially that Prince Ji had brought 10,000 soldiers to Prince Ji's residence.
Everyone knew that Prince Ji came here to deal with the mess and to purchase cotton.
"Brother Changsun, are you working so hard?" Shopkeeper Zhao shook his head.
At this time, a servant came over to treat Manager Zhao's wound. Manager Zhao was still trying his best to persuade him, but Manager Changsun refused.
"Boss, there are a large number of rebels outside."
"What? You're coming so quickly." Shopkeeper Zhao stood up in horror.
"Brother Zhao, don't panic. I will go and take a look myself."
Shopkeeper Changsun stood up and followed the visitor to the main gate. He saw a crowd of people surging in the distance.
It looks like there should be quite a few people.
Looking in the direction of Princess Linchuan's residence, one could vaguely see flames all over the sky.
The other side did not rush to attack, but came to the gate.
"Open the door quickly, we only want money, not killing people." A rebel stepped forward and shouted.
"Humph, do you think I'm stupid? If I let you in, won't that mean I can just slaughter you?"
Shopkeeper Changsun replied loudly.
"Then don't blame us, just rush in and kill them all!" Zhao Tiejun shouted, holding up a long knife and prepared to rush in.
"Wait a minute!" Shopkeeper Changsun yelled. Zhao Tiejun ordered them to stop.
"This is the property of the Duke Zhao's Mansion in the Tang Dynasty. You dare to act like this, aren't you afraid of the Duke Zhao's revenge?
You are just asking for money, tell me, how much money do you want?"
Shopkeeper Changsun first introduced himself, hoping to get the help of Duke Zhao to drive away the enemy and then give him some small benefits.
"Hahahaha, Duke Zhao? Not to mention that he's not here, even if he was here, we would still kill him.
Stop talking nonsense, we want all the money in your workshop, if you don't want to die, kneel down and surrender."
Zhao Tiejun burst into laughter.
The members of the Sharp Blade team beside him also cooperated and laughed along.
"Arrogant man, come and shoot." Seeing the other party being so arrogant, the shopkeeper Changsun immediately ordered his men to shoot.
Suddenly, hundreds of arrows were shot out. It was very simple for Duke Zhao to get some equipment.
According to Manager Zhangsun, their 500 troops are no weaker than the regular army, and it will be no problem for them to deal with the more than 1,000 mobs in front of them.
But the next scene left him dumbfounded. Zhao Tiejun yelled:
"defense!"
The rebels in the front row took out their shields to block, and this wave of arrows did not hurt anyone.
"How could this be?"
