Going through the Red Mansions quickly means going against the system.

When Shi Qing arrived near the city gate, there was already a scene of singing and dancing and joy.

The general suddenly captured a city without spending a single soldier, and he was only happy.

Originally, he thought that his 3,000 cavalry and 800 grain carriers would be reduced by less than half. Unexpectedly, there was no hard-nosed official in Meicheng, so the place was directly given to him.

Originally he was still vigilant, but when he arrived in the city and the spies he had originally arranged came to report, he realized that the soldiers in the city had been transferred elsewhere, and now there was only an empty shell left in the city.

"Okay, very good. Those who know the current affairs are heroes. When I tell the emperor, I will reward you one by one!"

He looked at the prefects, county magistrates, chief historians, general magistrates and other officials who were smiling flatteringly in front of him, and felt very looked down upon.

If he encounters this situation, if he doesn't defend it, he will burn the city and deny the enemy any benefit.

But now that the enemy had surrendered, he just "accepted" it.

"Hehe, we are just a group of criminals, we are not official. We are naturally happy to have us, but please ask this general to treat us... Hehe, please treat the people well."

The eunuch clenched his hands and tiptoed, seeming very ashamed.

"Hmph! Do you even need to talk about this? Since you have surrendered, you are a citizen of our country, so of course you don't need to talk nonsense."

The general took it upon himself to find an official chair in the high hall and sit down. He really looked down on these weaklings who were standing at the same time.

"Hehe, yes, I am talking too much. It's just that the general has so many soldiers... I am afraid that the people of Meicheng will be timid and panic."

The prefect wiped the sweat from his forehead and thought of the cavalry who had followed the general into the city and controlled the defense of Meicheng. He just felt that it was a good thing to bow his head and surrender. Otherwise, in the face of these "ferocious soldiers", what would their five or six hundred defenses be able to do? use?

"this one……"

Seeing the embarrassment of the official in front of him, the general became more and more complacent and had long forgotten to be on guard.

"Brothers, come out with me. There must be some benefits. I don't know where you are..."

This Plum City is one of the granaries. Even if there is a war, there should be people in this city who can reward their subordinates, right?

"As long as we can pay enough, my brothers can still be easily dispatched."

"Oh, that's it. Being a general's subordinate is such a blessing."

The prefect asked several beautiful women to present the gold and silver treasures he had prepared, and they immediately caught their attention.

"Ahem, but this alone is not enough."

The general grabbed a handful of the treasure in front of him and threw it to his subordinates behind him. He just smiled and said: "It's just such a small thing, it's too insincere."

"Also, there is more. The rest are all in one place. After all, my place is small, so I can't move them all, right?"

"I just don't know the identity of the general. Maybe he has the final say?"

"Bullshit!"

When the subordinates of the general who had received the reward heard this offensive remark, they all showed their knives again.

"This is Prince Wu Yungui, and the current emperor is his uncle. Doesn't he have the final say? Do you have the final say?"

"Hey, I said the wrong thing, I said the wrong thing!"

The prefect kept bowing and begging for mercy, and he was let go only after he had done enough ugly things.

Wu Yungui then expressed his indifference and asked the prefect to get up.

"Okay, let's get down to business."

The prefect honestly wanted to take the people to move, but found that only a small part of them followed.

There were several young generals who were lagging behind and were already holding the maids in their arms.

"It's worthless!"

The subordinate who just introduced Wu Yungui's identity turned around and sneered before turning to look at the general.

"It's okay. They have been together for so long, so they should be happy."

Wu Yungui smiled, but in his heart he felt that these three or four subordinates were the ones who were really sensible.

Naturally, he had to wait for him to finish picking out this large amount of property before he could have the rest for them.

And the subordinate who has been following him is a little ignorant.

However, this subordinate surrendered, so he should show love in front of himself.

"Li Mu, just follow me."

"Yes, Your Majesty Prince."

Li Mu followed up proudly, secretly laughing at the stupidity of his colleagues behind him. Where does this woman have money and food? Besides, what use can a maid with "three melons and two dates" do?

It's better to collect the money and find the daughters of the rich family in Meicheng!

"Then old man? Is there anyone in your city who is disobedient and doesn't stand up to our emperor and yet you haven't dealt with it?"

When the prefect saw that it was the person next to the prince who was asking, he couldn't help but look left and right, only to realize that the old man he was calling was him.

"No, no! We are all looking forward to your coming..."

"Nonsense! If you really look forward to it, why don't you see people crowding around to welcome you? And at your age, do you only have sons and no daughters?"

Li Mu looked at the three boys standing by. The prefect had said before that these were his three sons.

"This this!"

The prefect was speechless. How could this daughter of the Han family show her face? Besides, although he did have a daughter, she was married long ago.

The prefect confessed his feelings and saw Li Mu winking at him and gesturing to the prince. Then he turned around and saw that the prince was also interested in his maids.

"Pooh!"

The prefect sighed in his heart, but a grateful expression appeared on his face.

"I didn't think carefully. When we finish looking at the warehouse, there will be fine wine and food. Please take a rest, adults."

Seeing that he was sensible, Li Mu proudly followed him out of the house.

What they didn't notice was that the governor's youngest son clenched his fists secretly.

Shi Qing here has already found an opportunity to enter the city.

Perhaps because it was too easy to receive, the group of cavalry were wandering around the city in twos and threes.

The people in the city who had already closed down their stalls were forced to come out and open their stalls. Some soldiers even went directly into residents' homes to pull out other people's wives and humiliate them.

It turns out that the city is not as "peaceful" as it seems from the outside.

When Shi Qing looked outside before, he saw no smoke and no crying in the city, so he thought it was safe.

Now I borrowed a vegetable car to go into the city, only to find that things are not that simple.

Today's Meicheng only allows entry but not exit. Big soldiers looted at will, but no one resisted.

It seemed that the people in the city were all spineless and fell into silence.

"I'm really sorry for the plum character."

Shi Qing felt sad when she looked at the woman being teased and humiliated on the street. After walking along the main street, she realized that there were not many men in the city.

What about the men here?

Shi Qing had a guess in her mind, maybe this Meicheng might be full of backbone, which is why it ended up like this.

If it was as she suspected, it would be excusable now.

"What are you doing? Let go of my sister!"

It seemed that a young boy couldn't bear it any longer. He grabbed the leg of the soldier who was insulting his sister and bit it hard. He was slashed on the neck with a knife and fell to the ground quietly.

Originally, his sister had endured it without moving, but now when she saw her brother's body separated, she jumped over with a loud "ouch".

But she was too weak. After she fell to the ground like her brother, her head rolled into the corner. Her black and white eyes looked straight at Shi Qing from the shadow of the corner.

Shi Qing, who was staying in the space, suddenly felt that the silence of the city erupted into a roar.
