The attendants finally retrieved his black gauze hat that was rolling all over the ground and put it on his head, and he held it down with one hand and waved it with the other, and ordered the attendants to prepare a sedan chair. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

His official sedan chair was quickly ready, he was just a small Zhizhou, and the sedan chair could only be carried by two people. However, the two people carried the official sedan chair, and the wind swayed, and the sedan chair seemed to be floating in the turbulent river, which made Wang Zhizhou, who was sitting in the sedan chair, frightened, and hurriedly ordered the two attendants to carry it together, and at the same time let the two attendants support it beside him.

So, there were two sedan chair drivers in front and back carrying the official sedan chair, and one on each side helped to support it, so as not to overturn the tall official sedan chair by the strong wind, and Wang Zhizhou in it would be upside down.

A group of people carried the sedan chair and walked out of the yamen. Behind him were a few horsemen who rode their horses and bent over, holding their horses around their necks, because they were sitting too high on their horses, and the wind was howling, and they were all likely to be blown off their horses.

After leaving the city, he walked along the street to the center of the street, the reason why Wang Zhizhou wanted to come to the intersection in the center of the city was that he thought that the general judgment had been sent by him to the dozen or so villages that disobeyed the discipline to check the situation, and there was no one in the city to guard it now, and the people in the city were the most.

At the same time, he thought that if the hailstorm fell, wouldn't the soldiers who were patrolling the streets be miserable? So he hastened to call two soldiers and told them to hurry up and inform the soldiers of the streets, so that the horse-foot archers should take refuge in their houses and come out when they were in trouble.

The only ones in charge of patrolling the streets were the shieldmen, because they had shields, and when there was nowhere to hide from the hail, they would crouch on the ground and hold their shields, which would not be a big problem.

When the heralds hurried to give the order, and when they looked along the way, the horse-mounted archers who had received the order were already concentrated in the roadside houses, and only the shield-bearers patrolled the streets.

After he came to the crossroads, these soldiers patrolling the streets were in high spirits as soon as they saw that Lord Zhizhou had come to supervise the work in person, and from time to time there were scouts from all over the country galloping to report, saying that some residents were in a hurry to see medical medicine, and some of their families and children were missing, and they wanted to find them in a hurry. It was true that a critically ill patient needed to be sent urgently, but he instructed the shield-bearers to escort him to the infirmary along the way, and then not to come out until tomorrow morning.

As for himself, of course, he can't take it lightly, but he is unwilling to hide in the house, so there will be no deterrent, so he ordered a few shield bearers to tie a few shields firmly to the top of his official sedan chair, like a big umbrella, he was a little relieved, and then ordered someone to put his official sedan chair in the center of the crossroads, so that the soldiers and horses patrolling all walks of life knew that the old man Zhizhou was personally sitting at the crossroads, of course, they did not dare to slack off, and they all stepped up their patrols.

Wang Zhizhou stayed in the sedan chair, the wind was very strong, blowing his sedan chair and shaking. Several palanquin drivers and soldiers helped to carry the palanquin.

Wang Zhizhou lifted the sedan curtain and looked out, but his eyes couldn't be opened by the wind. He looked at the sky, flying sand and rocks, but there was no rain or hail, and he began to muttered in his heart, could it be that Lord Yang only said half of it, and it was indeed windy, but it did not hail?

He prayed in his heart that God wouldn't really hail, that wasn't a joke.

Seeing that it was getting late, he thought to himself, if he could support it until tomorrow morning, then the time required by Lord Yang would have passed, and he would be able to make the difference.

When he pondered in his heart, there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and a horse galloped over, and when he got closer, a soldier turned over and dismounted, ran quickly to the sedan chair, bowed down and saluted: "Master, things are not good, the villagers of Stone Village are about to rebel, they have injured Lord Tongju and many brothers, and they have surrounded Lord Tongju." ”

Wang Zhizhou was taken aback and said urgently: "What's going on?"

The soldier swallowed vigorously before he continued, "That's right, Lord Tongju led us to Stone Village. There is a stonemason surnamed Zhang in the stone village, who specializes in hitting people with stones, his grandfather died, just went up the mountain today, Zhang stonemason had to send the funeral up the mountain, the village and the people couldn't stop it, just after the general judgment took us to arrive, they stopped them, did not let them go up the mountain, let them go home immediately, this stonemason has a large group of relatives, and the village came to help, about hundreds. The judge said that if it was really hail and killed so many people, it would be miserable. The general judge repeatedly persuaded him, but these people just didn't believe it, saying that they had to go up the mountain, and of course the general judge did not allow it, so they fought. They wounded several of us, including the general judge. The general judge was worried that the matter would escalate, so he asked the soldiers not to do it. Coupled with the fact that there were so many of them, they surrounded us. But the general judge remembered your words, blocked the way up the mountain and did not let go, and the two were arguing, and the general judgment asked me to hurry back and report to you, please decide. ”

When Wang Zhizhou heard this, he was furious, slapped his thigh heavily and said, "It's really lawless! ”

Wang Zhizhou was furious, and took a team of horse archers to rush out of the city and rushed to Stone Village to rescue.

Stone Village actually belongs to a village in the suburbs of Shouzhou, and the distance is not too far. Wang Zhizhou also thought that the villages near Shouzhou City should be more obedient and easy to control, so he focused on other remote mountain villages, and he was worried that Yang Xianmao would go to those villages to see the situation, but he didn't expect that the matter was in Stone Village.

However, this is not surprising, because the whole village of this stone village is stone-beaten. Therefore, these stonemasons are irritable, and they love to drink, and it is very difficult to collect taxes and send errands.

When Wang Zhizhou rushed to Stone Village with a group of people, it was already dark. There was no moon either, but the soldiers had already estimated it, so everyone had torches in their hands.

When they arrived at the entrance of the village, they saw countless torches, and the people were full of voices, and the scouts sent out came back to report that the general judge was holding the intersection out of the village with his soldiers, and was reasoning with the villagers.

Although the villagers slapped Tongju and beat a few soldiers, they didn't dare to openly oppose the court, so under the persuasion of the old man in the village, they didn't do it again, but just quarreled with Tongju and told them to disperse quickly, but Tongju brought dozens of soldiers and blocked the intersection with weapons, and these villagers really couldn't do anything.

As soon as they heard that the old man Zhizhou was coming, these villagers were still a little nervous, but they did not retreat, but gathered around. The officers and soldiers escorting Zhizhou didn't care about those, and drew their waist knives and pointed at them not to approach.

These stonemasons also knew the severity of the sentence, and beat them in anger, but they were still weak in their hearts to the governor of Shouzhou, and they also looked fierce and vicious when they saw these soldiers take out their knives, so the villagers stood up and shouted loudly: "Master, why don't you let us bury the dead old man? ”

Wang Zhizhou got out of the sedan chair, under the light of the torch, Wang Zhizhou saw a coffin parked behind the crowd, and the soldiers who heard the report said that these people were originally going to be buried in the morning, but they were stopped by the village leader in the village and did not let them go, so they beat the village leader. The village is leading the people to block the road and prevent them from going up the mountain, and at the same time rush to report to the general judge of the neighboring village. After the general judgment came, he didn't expect to have a conflict with the villagers and was also beaten.

Wang Zhizhou turned his head to look at Tongju's side, and found that he was standing beside his sedan chair with a bitter face, looking at him to see how he dealt with this tricky matter.

Wang Zhizhou said loudly: "Fellow villagers, please calm down, this official has something to say." ”

However, hundreds of villagers shouted and couldn't hear him speak, Wang Zhizhou saw that the situation was not right, so he asked the sedan chair man to support him, and simply went directly to the top of the official sedan chair, took a torch in his hand, raised it high, and said loudly: "I am Zhizhou, don't talk to the villagers, listen to me!"

After he had said this, the villagers fell silent and looked at him with torches.

Wang Zhizhou said loudly: "Fellow villagers, the official family sent the minister Yang Jue Ye to our Shouzhou to inspect, and Yang Jue Ye got the guidance of the masters, saying that there will definitely be strong winds and extremely heavy hail yesterday and today. Everyone has seen that there was a strong wind this afternoon, and even people couldn't stand steadily, and now although the wind has gone down, the wind has also been blowing for a long time, proving that what Lord Yang said is not groundless, and it is likely to be true. Therefore, you folks must not take it lightly, you must obey the arrangement of the yamen, go home for the time being, do not stay outside, in case of a strong hailstorm, it is not a joke, it is okay to delay for a day, and it is not too late to bury tomorrow. ”

A stonemason with five big and three thick strokes rolled up his sleeves, pointed at Wang Zhizhou and said: "Master, you really don't have a backache when you stand and talk, and it's not your grandfather who dies emotionally, have you heard of who pushed back the date of burial? That is all set by Mr. Yin and Yang, how can you change it casually? Today has missed the time of burial, or if you want to miss the day of burial, once the disaster affects the peace of the family and the peace of the upper and lower levels, who will bear the responsibility? Master, you can say a word first. ”

Wang Zhizhou had never seen any people dare to talk to him like this, and his face was so angry that his face turned blue, but looking at the large number of people on the other side, even if the soldiers of the two groups of them combined, they were not as many as the villagers, not to mention that they must not be strong at this time, if they had to use force, once a mutiny occurred, it would be miserable, and they still had to swallow their anger and persuade people to go home first.

Therefore, Wang Zhizhou didn't take the other party's attitude to heart, held back his anger, but said with a smile on his face: "What Lord Yang said is true, he said that the wind has been fulfilled, and if the extraordinarily large hailstorm he said is also fulfilled, then many people will die." Therefore, everyone listened to my words and hurried back to the village, and did not delay outside. ”
