Captain Xie's death declared the final failure of the county government defense. With a shocking cheer, the blocked county government gate was finally knocked open. The excited rebels rushed into the gate and rushed towards the main hall.

He walked into the county government with a big axe. Zhu Jiancai was full of heroism and won the county government to win the battle of Shangyu. He Zhu Jiancai not only made great contributions, but also established prestige in this battle.

Not only that, the silver in the county warehousing will also bring great rewards to Zhu Jiancai, and now these are waiting for his arrival like unprepared beauties. Seeing his subordinates rushing in, Zhu Jiancai couldn't help laughing to the sky.

But who would have thought that after a few words of laughter, he saw the rebels who rushed in first ran out again in panic.

"It's not good, the shopkeeper, it's not good!"

"What's wrong?" Zhu Jiancai wondered, what's wrong with the county government being captured? But before the other party could answer, the scene in front of him made Zhu Jiancai widen his eyes and screamed "Not good".

I saw thick smoke coming out from the direction of the main hall, accompanied by the thick smoke, and there was a faint fire. When Zhu Jiancai rushed over without hesitation, the crowd that never left was squeezed to the front, and then he could see clearly what had been born.

Zhengtang was on fire, and the fire was extremely fierce. Under the fierce light of the fire, a man in an official uniform was vaguely seen igniting fires with a torch in his hand, and bursts of crazy laughter were heard.

"You are so rebels! This magistrate of Shangyu, Tao Changyue, was unable to defeat the thief. Now he vowed to perish in Shangyu!" Tao Changyue laughed wildly. At this time, his robe also caught fire. In a blink of an eye, the firelight swallowed his whole body, but laughter still came from the fire.

"Your Majesty! I am incompetent... I am leaving... Haha... Hahaha."

Tao Changyue's figure kept shaking in the fire, and finally fell to the ground, and the crazy laughter disappeared instantly. But in Zhu Jiancai's ears, Tao Changyue's crazy laughter seemed to be still echoing. He stared in disbelief. He had never seen a civil servant who would end himself in this terrible way.

"Put the fire! Put the fire out quickly!"

From the bottom of my heart, Zhu Jiancai admired Tao Changyue. Even those who were like the people in the martial arts world dared not burn him to death in this way. It would be terrible to think about it. But at the same time, Zhu Jiancai hated Tao Changyue too much. The fire that Tao Changyue pointed before his death was equivalent to wasting all his previous efforts. If the fire could not be extinguished as soon as possible, the entire county government would burn it into ruins, and the most important thing was the silver in the warehouse. Zhu Jiancai felt heartbroken when he thought of this.

He stomped his feet quickly, and Zhu Jiancai called for someone to put out the fire. Unfortunately, Tao Changyue used tinder oil when setting the fire. The fire was too big. By the time the fire was controlled, half of the county government had burned out.

Zhu Jiancai finally saved only half of the county government. Standing on this ruin, looking at the smoke-filled broken beams, Zhu Jiancai was speechless.

"Big shopkeeper, the silver has been found..."

"What? The silver is still there?" Zhu Jiancai's eyes lit up and he urgently asked how much silver there was. When he learned that more than 8,000 taels of silver were found from the warehouse, Zhu Jiancai was disheartened and his whole body was full of energy.

"Hahaha! Burn! Burn again! Mom Xipi! Have you found the silver for me? Hahaha!"

The excited Zhu Jiancai quickly asked his confidant to pack up the silver. At this time, the chaos in Shangyu was over. Yuan Qi, who had occupied Shangyu, began to control and prevent the city, and at the same time sent someone to welcome Zhu Yicheng into the city.

It was already Shen Shi when Zhu Yicheng entered the city, which was around four o'clock in the afternoon. When he entered the city in a carriage, Zhu Yicheng asked Li Juaner to lift the curtain and look out.

As I saw a mess everywhere, there were knife marks and blood everywhere on the entire street. From a distance, I saw several uncleaned corpses lying in pools of blood, and the air was even more filled with blood and smoke.

Although the Battle of Shangyu lasted only a few hours before and ended, the damage brought to Shangyu County in these few hours was amazing. The officials, gentry and wealthy families in Shangyu were wiped out by the rebel army. Even ordinary people suffered thousands of casualties in this battle. The small Shangyu County can be said to be filial and every household was mourning. Of course, under the pressure of the rebel army, even if they cry, they dare not cry out loud.

Looking at this scene, Zhu Yicheng's heart was aroused. He wanted to move his eyes away, but he could not move. His tight hands were trembling slightly, and his face was extremely pale.

"The people suffer...their deaths, the people suffer..."

Zhu Yicheng, who had never read ancient books, didn't know what happened, and this sentence flashed through his mind. Maybe it was the lines I heard in that martial arts film. But at this moment, reality clearly told him the true meaning of this sentence.

As a palace, it was originally arranged to be placed on the county government, but unfortunately, Tao Changyue was defeated and set off the entire county government government. Of course, Zhu Yicheng could not live in that ruin. Just like in Yuyao, Yuan Qi arranged another house for him to use for the palace.

When they arrived at the palace, Yuan Qi and several leaders were already waiting. When the car reached the door, Yuan Qi took the lead, including Zhou Zhongliang, Zhu Jiancai and others came forward to welcome the sage of the State Supervisor.

"It is time for you to fight bloody battles to recover Shangyu. Gu is very happy. Thank you for your hard work..." Zhu Yicheng walked out of the carriage with the help of Li Juan'er. He said kindly after seeing Yuan Qi and the others, and at the same time, he tried hard to squeeze out a look of relief and joy on his face.

"This is all the credit of His Highness the Superintendent. I have just done my duty." Yuan Qi replied politely, but anyone could see that he was very proud of taking Shangyu.

After entering the palace, sitting down on the "throne" that had been prepared long ago, Zhu Yicheng began to listen to the reports made by Yuan Qi on behalf of the rebel army. These reports were nothing more than how the rebel army captured Shangyu under his leadership and command. How many enemies were killed, how many enemies were captured, and how many other gains were obtained.

"Loyal and brave, the king is really the pillar of my Ming Dynasty." Zhu Yicheng praised Yuan Qi according to the procedure.

"Your Highness is very saying, if Duke Zhongyong was not in good command, how could it be so easy to take down Shangyu? Duke Zhongyong is good at generals and soldiers. He is a talent of extraordinary people, comparable to the founding king of Kaiping. Your Highness is loyal and brave, and I am expected to revive the Ming Dynasty. Duke Zhongyong must do his best!" Zhou Zhongliang said with a smile on the side, and everyone nodded repeatedly to say yes. Then Zhou Zhongliang advised Zhu Yicheng, saying that the battle of Shangyu had been settled and that the meritorious ministers should be rewarded now.

If you give me a reward, you won’t have to worry about having too many lice anyway. It’s useless to oppose him like a bachelor’s ruling country. Besides, how to give me reward is not just Yuan Qi’s words? Zhu Yicheng immediately nodded in agreement.

When the specific reward list and title were brought up, Zhu Yicheng was stunned at first glance. Without further ado, the reward for Yuan Qi was actually to be promoted to the title of King Zhongyong, Kaifu Yitong Sansi, Shangzhuguo, Taibao, and the right prime minister of the Secretariat...
