Chapter 483 The night attack is late but it arrives!
"This night may be peaceful, or it may involve bloodshed. I can't guarantee that! All I can say is, if you choose to stay, if anyone gets hurt, you'll be rewarded with fifty taels of silver. You can rest after you're injured, and I'll pay for the doctor's and medicine. I'll also pay your monthly salary."
"If anyone loses their life because of this, I will provide a compensation of 200 taels of silver. The old and young in the family will also be taken care of by you adults and me."
"If you're scared and choose to leave, I won't blame you. You can stay here temporarily until things are settled."
Lu Zhenzhen didn't say the rest.
Everyone knew that after the matter was over, those who had escaped when disaster struck their master's family would probably be sold out.
Therefore, as soon as Lu Zhenzhen finished speaking, the scene fell silent.
Dingxiang and the other girls were eager to express their opinions as soon as they heard what Lu Zhenzhen said.
He was suppressed by a look from Nanny Ye.
I can only wait patiently.
Fortunately, the silence did not last long. Soon, several people stood up and expressed their willingness to stand with the lady and the lord.
Someone took the lead and stepped forward, and a few people who were still hesitant also hurriedly stepped forward to express their attitudes.
Everyone has an abacus in their mind and knows how to do the math.
Following Fu Zhiyi and Lu Zhenzhen to Nanyue, not only did the monthly salary increase, but the daily treatment was also good, which was more comfortable than in the capital.
Moreover, Fu Zhiyi and Lu Zhenzhen are both people who keep their words. Even if something happens to them, their whole family, young and old, will be taken care of by the host family and will live a worry-free life. It is worth it.
Lu Zhenzhen didn't care what these people thought. Seeing that no one chose to leave, she felt relieved.
At this time, one more person means more strength.
Since no one was leaving, Lu Zhenzhen gave the order directly.
All people were transferred to the county government office in front.
First of all, the walls of the county government office are higher and have better defensive capabilities.
The most important thing is that attacking the county magistrate's backyard and attacking the county government office are two completely different crimes.
Attacking the county magistrate's backyard was at most a vendetta.
But attacking the county government office is equivalent to attacking the imperial court, which is considered treason according to the law.
Lu Zhenzhen didn't know if the attackers would give up or hesitate if they moved into the county government office at this moment.
It might increase your chances of survival, so why not use it?
He went to the kitchen and brought out two large pots, and set up a fire in front of the county government office.
Pour cooking oil into the pot and start heating the oil over high heat.
Lu Zhenzhen's armchair was moved to the corridor of the first courtyard of the county government office.
Torches were lit in the yard, making it bright.
You can see a moth flying by clearly, let alone other things.
In addition to the boiling oil in the pot, several large bags of lime powder were found from the warehouse.
The climate in South Vietnam is humid, so every household has to prepare some lime powder and sprinkle it in the corners of the room and garden on weekdays. One purpose is to prevent mosquitoes and ants, and the other is to prevent moisture and absorb moisture.
Lu Zhenzhen had someone purchase some more a few days ago and put them in the warehouse.
At this moment, they have all been moved to the yard and laid out in a straight line in packages.
There were also shovels and spades placed nearby.
Even a large bag of dried chilies brought from the capital in the kitchen was found.
Lu Zhenzhen instructed that half be ground into powder and the other half be cooked in a pot.
……
The guards, grooms and cooks either had their own weapons or got weapons from the kitchen.
Although Chef Ding was afraid, he was just an ordinary cook. He had managed to curry favor with the county magistrate and the county lady, hoping to rise to prominence with them.
But no one told him that this meteoric rise also has its dangers, and that he would have to work himself to death.
When the time comes, you can't leave even if you want to.
We can only work hard to arm ourselves.
He had a small cast iron pot on his head, a large iron spoon for cooking in one hand and the pot lid in the other.
The others were also armed in various ways.
One of them holds a knife in one hand and a rolling pin in the other.
There were also people who held a laundry pestle in one hand and a toilet lid in the other.
The maids, some carried scissors, some carried washboards, and they did whatever was most convenient for them.
Even Dingxiang went to the kitchen to pick out two boning knives and stood behind Lu Zhenzhen with murderous intent.
Everything is ready, just waiting for the attack.
This wait lasted until three o'clock in the morning.
Everyone is a little overwhelmed.
Everyone was so drowsy that they could hardly stand.
Lu Zhenzhen looked at the time on her pocket watch. It was almost eleven o'clock and everyone seemed to be unable to hold on any longer.
He ordered Chef Ding: "Take two people to the kitchen to make some midnight snacks. We still have to stay up all night, how can we not eat something?"
Chef Ding carried his cast iron pot and wok and went to the kitchen to work.
Two ladders had already been set up on both sides of the gate, and someone was standing on them, looking around vigilantly.
Soon, the person standing above observing frowned and made a gesture.
No more voices could be heard in the yard, only the crackling sound of burning firewood could be heard.
The man's ears twitched, his expression tensed, and he lowered his head and said, "Someone is coming this way."
As soon as he finished speaking, a feather arrow streaked across the night sky and hit the gate of the county government office.
The night raid is late but it arrives!
Lu Zhenzhen herself felt that she was terrifyingly calm in everything that happened next.
At that moment, she was grateful for the military training she had participated in that year, which included an exercise at the end.
The instructor led them and taught them the simplest and most practical three-three tactics, how to form a group of three, with one person attacking, one covering, and one supporting.
At this moment, she clearly recalled every word, every action, and every command the instructor said.
Then those words, those commands, came out of her mouth calmly.
The guards and grooms who stayed behind looked at her in shock, then silently followed her instructions and divided into a dozen groups.
When Lu Zhenzhen thought back on what happened next, it seemed like a dream filled with blood and fighting.
She took Dingxiang, the remaining servants and two groups of guards to guard the gate.
There was a constant sound of fighting outside, and someone was trying to climb over the wall.
Lu Zhenzhen, who was well prepared, ordered someone to pour boiling hot oil directly on it.
It was the screams of the attackers, and the indescribable burnt smell of hot oil being poured on people.
There were also handfuls of lime powder sprinkled down from the top of the wall.
In the darkness, someone shouted: My eyes, my eyes can't see -
The gate was slammed violently, but fortunately the gate of the county government was of good quality and had thick door panels.
Even though he was hit like this, he still persisted.
Before this, Lu Zhenzhen had someone carry in two stone lions at the door and block the back of the door.
These people fought for half a day, but when they saw that they could not break down the gate of the county government office, they gave up fighting and turned to look for other breakthrough points.
There were too many attackers, and with the help of the darkness, Lu Zhenzhen and the others were caught off guard at first.
After all, he was a trained sergeant. After calming down, he launched another attack.
The people on Lu Zhenzhen's side were inevitably injured and lost their ability to move.
