Chapter 218: We're Going to the City

At the east gate of the capital, the refugees from the thistle field gathered in the open space outside the city, several fires were burning, and everyone sat around the fire, staring blankly at the raging flames. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"Big brother, when are we going to be the head here?" a young man in his twenties asked a man in his thirties with an anxious expression.

"That's right, we've been here for more than ten days, the city gate won't let us in, the government won't let us sue, except for a few bags of grain thrown to us in the first few days, and no one has taken care of us since then. Seeing that everyone has nothing to eat, do you really want to starve to death here?"

"No, we managed to escape here, we can't even get in and starve to death outside the city, right?"

Wu Qian, who was known as the eldest brother, looked at the refugees around him with an angry face but yellow muscles, and smiled and encouraged, "Let's hold on for a few more days, I heard that Jun Shang will go to the eastern suburbs to worship the heavens in a few days, and he will definitely pass by here, and when the time comes, we will block the road and tell each other, and we must pull out a few teeth of the lawless Xie Laohu!"

"It's not just Xie Laohu, big brother, but also the prince, who made us homeless and almost lost our lives. When the time comes, I must ask the king, how he took care of his son, and why he let him come to our thistle land to do evil? They all say that the locust plague is terrible, and I think this prince is even more terrible!"

"Okay, don't open your mouth and say, although we are all of the same heart, but if we are listened to by someone with a heart, we will be unlucky again. Don't forget, we didn't just flee here to save our own lives, there are so many fathers and villagers in the Thistle Land waiting for us!"

"Yes, big brother, we all listen to you!"

"Alright, let's all sleep, be responsible for the awakening point of the night, although there are no wild beasts outside the city, but you still have to pay attention to safety. ”

The old and weak women and children all slept peacefully under the escort of young adults, Wu Qian had no sleep, his eyes looked at the firelight, and his eyes danced with an unsettling look.

He looked up at the majestic city wall, and knew that it must be an extremely difficult road to take so many people into the world separated by this wall, and to tell his son in front of the person who was high up and telling him what was wrong with him. But for the sake of the villagers in his hometown, he can only move forward desperately, otherwise the thistle land will be destroyed in the hands of the prince and the city official Xie Daquan.

In the middle of the night, he got up and went to a little farther away to relieve himself, and just after he had fastened his trouser belt, he turned around and saw two people standing behind him. He was startled, and when he saw that the two of them were dressed in black, and even covered most of their faces with black scarves, he couldn't help but be a little scared.

"Who are you, what do you want to do?" he quietly moved two steps in the direction of the camp, trying to get back to the refugees while the two were not looking.

"Wu Qian, don't be afraid, we're here to help you!"

"How do you know my name?" Wu Qian didn't think he was so famous, any two people could call their names.

"You don't have to worry about that. In short, I know that your name is Wu Qian, and you led the people of Jidi here to complain to Shang Jun about the prince and Xie Daquan. ”

"Who the hell are you, and why are you investigating us?"

The man in black didn't answer his question, "I know you've been waiting for a few days to go to the suburbs and want to block the way to complain." You think too simply, if you want to go through the east gate, someone will come out three days in advance to clear the road, and then you will all be driven to a corner that you can't see, and there will be someone to control it, so your plan can't succeed at all. ”

"That'...... What should I do then?" Wu Qian is just a common man, because he is righteous and dares to do things, so he is elected as the eldest brother by everyone. But for Yin Du, he is really unfamiliar. Even the matter of the suburban festival was overheard by the people passing by.

"If you follow my arrangement, I guarantee that you will be able to see him and complain to him. Moreover, the king will punish the prince and Xie Daquan heavily, and give justice to the people of Jidi. ”

"Really?" Wu Qian hurriedly knelt down, "Benefactor, if you can really take us to see the king, I, Wu Qian, am willing to be a cow and a horse, and let you send it!"

"Get up, I don't need you to be a cow or a horse, you just need to do something with me. I brought you clothes, and you changed them overnight, and then you left here at once, and scattered to the four gates of the city, and waited until the day came, and entered the city with the rest of the people. ”

"We tried to enter the city before, but the guards didn't let us in, and they wounded our people. ”

"That's because you look like refugees, and someone greeted them specifically and didn't let any refugees into the city. ”

"Could it be that the prince is doing it again?"

The man in black nodded, pointing to a flatbed truck behind him, with two large bags of clothes on it, "These are half-new and old clothes, you won't be conspicuous when you wear them." When you are in the city, I will send for you, and they will take you to meet you outside the palace. ”

"And then?" Wu Qian rubbed his hands a little nervously, "Then shall we go into the palace to complain?"

"Of course not, before you get close to the palace, someone will knock you out. It's not so simple to find a complaint from the king. In short, when the time comes, you will obey the commands. ”

Wu Qian nodded, although he didn't know these two black-clothed people, he inexplicably trusted him very much. Moreover, as long as he relied on his method to enter the city, even if everyone didn't want to do what he ordered later, he could lead everyone to break into the palace. Even if you die, you have to let the prince and Xie Daquan take off a layer of skin!

The next day, outside the east gate of Yindu City, hundreds of people came over beating gongs and drums, and the two people walking in front held a long bamboo pole in their hands, and pulled a piece of cloth on it, on which was written: "Yucheng People's Thanksgiving Group".

The guards at the east gate were all big, he got up in the morning, and finally saw that the Jidi refugees who had been guarding outside the city gate for more than ten days were gone, and he was just relieved, and the people of Yucheng came over at this time. This is a lot larger than the refugees in Jidi, are they also here to complain? There was no order from the top to stop the people in Yudi, and he couldn't decide for a while whether to stop these people or not.

"Let us in! We are the people's gratitude group from Yucheng, specially to thank Prince Zhao of the king, you dare to stop it, if the king and Prince Zhao know, they will definitely not be able to spare you!"

The guard officer was sweating profusely, "There are so many of you rushing into the city, it will cause chaos, why don't you wait outside the city gate and wait for me to report to the upper authorities before inviting you into the city?"

Besides, there are only a few hundred of us, and this Yin capital is so big, I don't believe that a few hundred people can accommodate it! If you dare to stop it, we will rush in. When the time comes, Prince Zhao will blame him, and we won't help you. Prince Zhao is the most sympathetic to the people, and he will definitely not let us stay outside the city. ”

"Prince Zhao?" the guard officer smiled bitterly, "Prince Zhao has already gone to the Dongshan Palace, don't you know?"

"What? Prince Zhao is locked up in the Dongshan Palace? How can this be reasonable, why should such a good prince be locked up? We have to go into the city to ask for a reason, everyone rush!"

The guard officer was stunned for a moment, and without reacting for a moment, these hundreds of ordinary people rushed into the city one by one, and immediately scattered in all directions, and there was no trace of them.

He stared at all of this dumbfounded, "Did I just say that Prince Zhao was locked up?"
