Chapter 378: A Time of Turmoil on the Verge of Storming

As soon as the sky dawned, many farmers who got up early to do business were already waiting to enter the city at the gate of the outer city of Linxi with their burdens or ox carts, but they saw that the sky had turned white, but the city gate was not opened for a long time, and the waiting crowd finally began to mumble and discuss, such a situation is rare, and they are speculating about what happened.

The city gate guard stood on the second floor and looked down, and a group of people who were pressed by the black pressure lined up for a long time, and some had even begun to beat the city gate.

"What is the situation in the inner city now?" The leader of the guards asked the person who came to report the news, and the messenger shook his head: "Don't get out of the way, there is a mess at the gate of the city over there now, Liao Jingzhao has already brought dozens of people to suppress it, and the small one is still in chaos when he comes back." ”

"Serious?"

"Ouch~ There are more than two dozen corpses on the table, and they look very infiltrating. ”

......

At that time, the inner city gate, because it was not an informal city gate, was not as solid as the stone wall of the outer city, only separated by a wooden gate, and there was no erection of a second-floor platform. And the wooden door was already crumbling under the slamming of a crowd of angry thrashes.

Liao Weizhang stood at the gate of the inner city, looking at the wood chips falling down, and had a headache for a while.

Shan Cha frowned, "I was fine yesterday, why did I suddenly riot today." There are no less than 100 people, my lord, I am afraid that he will immediately play the court, if he is driven out by others, the adult will inevitably suffer a dumb loss. ”

Liao Weizhang sighed, he had already transferred fifty people to guard the gate of the inner city, so as not to let these refugees really rush in and cause chaos in the inner city. But it's not a way to go on like this, the inner city can't be opened, and the outer city can't be opened, so you can't keep it like this.

"Open the door, open the door, we want to see the emperor, we want to seek justice......"

"You pay for my mother's life, you pay for these dozens or hundreds of lives......"

The refugees outside the door frantically slammed their emaciated bodies against the wooden door, which was originally tall and fragile, but was vulnerable in the face of this huge force gathered by the weak force.

And the people who originally lived in the outer city couldn't help but retreat when they saw this scene, for fear that it would affect themselves, just refugees, and there were hundreds of people who flocked to the city gate.

Liao Weizhang knew the suffering of these people, not to mention that there were too many people to catch them.

But this anger is full of anger, if it is allowed to spread, the entire inner city will suffer, and when the time comes, things will be big, and his official position will not be guaranteed, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to protect his head.

He rubbed his faintly painful eyebrows, originally today was the day of the last dynasty, and he got up on the third watch, and before he had time to rest in the morning, he was told that something had happened. Now, even if this group of people is suppressed, the matter will be reported to the court, as Shan Cha said, it is okay for him to take the initiative to ask for guilt, but if he is ginseng, it will be even more impossible to exculpate.

"Everybody's quiet, quiet first. Liao Weizhang stood at the front and shouted at the top of his throat, trying to appease the rioting refugees outside the door.

But in an instant, his voice was drowned out in all kinds of insults and wails.

"Squeak squeak...."Shan Cha looked up, his face changed instantly, "Adults be careful....." As soon as he finished shouting, Liao Weizhang saw the wooden door getting closer and closer, and hurriedly took a few steps back.

"Boom ....." is just a wooden door, but the degree of sturdiness is not ordinary, but this wooden door is so easily knocked to the ground, Liao Weizhang saw the wooden door smashed down and raised a lot of ashes, he couldn't help coughing, but he was even more frightened in his heart, if these people were allowed to pour in, it would be over.

Without waiting for his orders, the officials with spears behind him stood in five rows of ten, filling the gaps in turn, blocking the way into the city.

But these refugees were like crazy, they held the corpses in front of them, rushed forward without hesitation, cursed and shouted and cried, and many children followed, so that the officials with weapons couldn't help but retreat one after another.

These people, either women and children, or old and sick, all looked emaciated and weak, as if they were about to fall down at any moment and cry for their lives, but their steps were not the slightest pleasant, but they were resolute and chilling.

These are all refugees, and Liao Weizhang also feels sorry for them, he can't really let the servants hurt these suffering people.

He stood behind the ranks of the officials and shouted at the top of his voice: "You all calm down, the imperial court has already found a solution, everyone can immediately farm their own land, have clothes to wear, have food rations, if the physical strength is enough, you can also find a living, as long as you go to the yamen to register, you can distribute." ”

"What is the solution, the court doesn't treat us as human beings at all, do you think there are only these 20 corpses today, in the ditch in the outer city, there are many corpses thrown away, has the court ever taken a look?"

A woman in the crowd retorted with a sharp voice, her tone was full of resentment, and as soon as she spoke, the voices of the others gradually became quieter, and the woman held up a swaddling cloth in her arms, and choked up: "This child is less than two months old, but he died so early, but this world is so miserable, it is better to go early, so as not to suffer from sin." He began to cry again.

Another seventeen or eight-year-old child cried: "My mother gave birth to me and raised me all my life, but now I don't even have a coffin, you officials, you will have to remove two or three hundred gold from a banquet, and two or three hundred gold is enough for the people here to eat and drink for several months. ”

"Yes, it's a moth, a moth that eats the flesh and blood of the common people. ”

The refugees began to shout collectively, and hundreds of people rushed forward in almost a swarm, and the fifty officials could not stop it at all.

Shan saw that the situation was not good, and immediately said: "My lord, arrest people first." ”

Liao Weizhang also knew that he couldn't be soft-hearted, so he immediately ordered: "Anyone who gathers to make trouble will be arrested and brought back to the yamen." ”

At the sound of the order, the officials who were still a little worried became fierce, and they didn't care whether the spear in their hands hurt someone, just rudely arrested people, and then tied things with ropes.

When the refugees saw this situation, they became more and more ignorant, and I don't know who shouted: "Go to the inner city, why do they eat and drink spicy, but we have to starve to death, we want to see the emperor, there is no way to live under the imperial city, where is there still our way to live in the world, both horizontal and vertical are a death, it is better to fight with them." ”

"Yes, we are also human beings, and we also want to live, but the court doesn't give us a chance to live, so what's there to be afraid of, let's go into the inner city. ”

Gradually, the refugees who were not afraid of death, no matter how many stabs they had been stabbed in their bodies, just ran to the inner city without their lives, and scattered when they saw the fork in the road.

Not only that, but there was an influx of refugees from the outer city, and by this time many refugees who had escaped control were heading towards the inner city streets.

Liao Weizhang looked at the out-of-control scene and felt that his neck was very cold.
