Chapter 73: Wishing for an Afterlife
The letter stated that Huang Qi, a salt worker from Changming Prefecture, had gathered thousands of refugees and risen in rebellion.
They aimed to overthrow the wealthy gentry, powerful families, and imperial relatives, equalize wealth, and relieve the people's hardships.
The refugees had been living very bitterly these years, so naturally, hundreds responded to a single call.
When the Capital City received the urgent report, there were already thousands of people, and now there were probably even more.
Several counties and towns in Changming Prefecture had already fallen, the speed astonishingly fast.
Prefect Tang Baoyue went to the guard station and military camp to ask for help, but the other side said the soldiers hadn't been eating enough recently and had no strength.
The Ministry of Revenue asked Huan'er to hurry back, allocate funds and issue military pay, and suppress the roving bandits as soon as possible.
A'qiao had a straightforward personality, Chu Xun knew this.
He just didn't expect it to be to this extent.
