Chapter 992: Refugee Riot
readx;
Looking at the other party's cautious expression, Lan Yun raised her eyebrows slightly, as if she had expected him to say this, and her tone sank instantly, "Is it the Emperor's order?" ”
Zhang Junshou immediately showed a look of surprise, he was silent for a moment and gritted his teeth, "The lower official has a handle in the hands of the emperor, and the emperor is not to blame in the past, but he ordered the lower officials to guard the city gate, and not let the imperial doctor sent by His Majesty come in, so that His Majesty will lose his trust to the people, and the lower officials have to act as a last resort, pretending not to receive the letter from the prime minister!" I hope that the general has a large number of them, so don't be angry with others. Pen %fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info Sister-in-law Suo Ke Er said the net, look at the most dizzying Yan Qing girl Er said eight"
Lan Yun squinted at him, her deep eyes were full of disdain, "Zhang Junshou disregarded the safety of the people for his own selfishness?" Do you see the horrors of the refugees outside the city today? Do you know how many people have died because of your dereliction of duty? ”
"The lower official is ashamed, the lower official is really ashamed!" Zhang Junshou lowered his head and felt very guilty, but now he had nothing to do.
Lan Yun snorted lightly, "Maybe this is retribution, now that Zhang Junshou's only son has also contracted the plague, what are you going to do?" ”
When Zhang Junshou heard this, he immediately opened his clothes and knelt down, and kowtowed cautiously, "General Lan, the lower official knows that he has done wrong, but the son of the lower official is innocent, and I hope that General Lan can open the net, save my son, save him!" ”
"If you want me to save it, you can save it!" Lan Yun stared at the pleading man on the ground with a cold face, "The county guard will order the city gate to be opened now, let those refugees outside in, and then make full preparations for the arrival of the imperial doctor, and personally make amends to His Royal Highness!" ”
"Your Highness?" Zhang Junshou, who was kneeling on the ground, raised his head in surprise, "Isn't Your Highness missing?" ”
Lan Yun looked at him with a blade, "His Royal Highness is only fighting side by side with the people in the epidemic area, he will not abandon his own people like the Emperor Taishang, and only the eldest princess can save Prince Ling!" ”
Zhang Junshou gritted his teeth, his eyes sank for a moment, and his heart was already in an endless struggle, on one side was the emperor, and on the other side was his son, but Shijie was the only seedling of his Zhang family, if he was gone, he would be sorry for his ancestors and ancestors, even if he kept this official position, it was meaningless!
Zhang Junshou seemed to have made a decision, he was silent for a moment and raised his head, "Xia Guan can open the city gate to let the refugees in, but I am afraid that there are also infected among them, which will inevitably threaten the innocent people in the city, and I hope General Lan will think twice!" ”
Lan Yun's eyes moved slightly, even if this county guard was wrong, this was not bad at this time, he was still thinking about the people in his city, which showed that he had not completely lost his conscience. The new domain name of this site is the initials of the novel network, the largest free romance Chinese website, hurry up. He thought for a moment and slowly spoke, "Then send someone to send water and food to the refugees outside the city for the next few days, so that they can wait outside the city for the arrival of the imperial doctor with peace of mind, and then come in after being diagnosed as healthy, and the rest of the people will be treated, what does the county guard think?" ”
Zhang Junshou thought for a moment, the current situation is afraid that there is only this way to go!
"Good! The next official will go down and arrange it! ”
Looking at the direction in which the man had resolutely left, Lan Yun fell into a deep thought. Zhang Junshou is just one of the ** controllers, does the Emperor really want to force these innocent people to death? Playing with the Lotus Kingdom in applause like this, if he is really brought back to power, what will the future of the Lotus Kingdom become.
……
At this moment, the people outside the city gate were suffering, and their emotions were becoming more and more uncontrollable due to hunger and cold, and many people cried, "Let us in, let us in!" ”
But the guards above the city gate just looked at it coldly and did not move.
Not long after, another group of refugees poured in this direction, but when they looked at the black crowd in front of them, the refugees couldn't help but look at each other.
"What happened? Didn't you say they could take us in here? ”
"Hmph, I was deceived by that man!" At this time, the angry middle-aged man in the crowd turned around hatefully and shouted, "We have been deceived!" That man is clearly a lackey of the imperial court! He tricked us into coming here, and maybe someone will come and slaughter us soon! The royal family of the Lotus Kingdom is not credible at all! ”
The woman holding the child frowned when she heard this, and her heart hesitated, but she always felt that the boy was a good person and would never do such a thing, there must be some reason, it must be!
She immediately walked forward with the child in her arms and asked the refugees who arrived first in a whisper, "Sister-in-law, can't you really go in here?" ”
An old woman looked up at her with difficulty, and a weak voice came, "We have been waiting for many days, but they have never opened the city gates, they will not let us in, we will starve to death, we have been cornered, cornered......"
This desperate voice startled the woman's heart, this ...... How so?
And at this time, the angry middle-aged man had already raised his arms and shouted, "Since they don't open the door, then we will rush in, anyway, it is death to retreat, it is better to fight, it is better than waiting for death in vain!" Everybody come with me! We rush in! ”
For a while, the refugees who were still begging and begging angrily responded, as if they were about to use their last strength to shout, "Rush in, rush in!" ”
In the blink of an eye, the refugees immediately rioted, everyone rushed to the city gate, the roar echoed to the sky, some people tried to climb the towering and strong city wall with their bare hands, the scene was chaotic, this scene made the original guards on the city wall quickly panicked.
"Quick! Go and report to the county guard, the refugees are rioting! The guards shouted for them.
At this time, a fast horse came from the city, it was the chief of the guard beside the county guard, he walked quickly to the city wall, looked at the angry refugees below, and roared with internal force, like a dusk drum and morning bell, "Everyone, don't be impatient! The county keeper has given an order, we will send the rice and bedding materials for the next few days, please wait outside the city gate for the time being, soon the imperial medical team will arrive, please be checked in an orderly manner, but anyone who is in good health can enter the city, once the infected person is now treated, he will be treated by the imperial doctor, please cooperate! ”
The refugees quieted down, but they couldn't believe what they were saying for days.
"Liar, we have been here for so long, why do you say now, you don't care about our life and death at all, you must be here to trick us again!"
"That's right! They just want to appease us, and they say better than they sing, and we've all died so many times, and you're only talking about this now? It's a lie! ”
"That's right! Don't take his word for it, they don't have a good guy at all! ”
The crowd that had just calmed down became agitated again, even more excited than Fang Caiyue.
Seeing this, the chief guard explained, "Everyone, be quiet! Things are not what everyone thinks, the county guard received a secret letter before, saying that there are spies mixed into the refugee group so they dare not open the city gate, now that the danger has been eliminated, the county guard immediately ordered everyone to enter the city, not to ignore your life and death! ”
"Nonsense, we don't believe it! You people want us to die! ”
The people, who have suffered great hardships, can no longer easily believe the words of the imperial court.
No matter how good the chief of the guard tried to persuade him, the situation of the riot continued to ferment and was out of control.
In the crowd, the woman holding the child looked at the scene in front of her and couldn't help but think of the son's words. She suddenly opened her mouth in a loud voice, "I believe it!" I believe in the words of the soldier! Okay, the woman is waiting outside, please give my child a bowl of rice! Wait as long as the women are willing! ”
In a word, it was like a stone thrown into the lake, causing an uproar!
The people around all looked at her suspiciously, and many of them quieted down, is this woman crazy?
"Do you know what you're talking about?" The man next to her pushed her angrily, his eyes red.
The woman guarded her child tightly, and although she was terrified, she still held on to her instincts, "I know what I'm talking about, don't I want to live?" That boy is a good man, he is the one who led us to this town, he said that His Majesty did not abandon us, he promised! I don't ask for anything now, I just want my children to live, and I am willing to believe it again! I believe this time it must be true. ”
The woman pushed away a few people around her, and sat down against the wall, her determined eyes quickly shaking the other refugees, and everyone's raised fists were lowered one after another, as if considering whether to gamble or not.
Who of them has no family and children, and who doesn't want to live? Breaking through the city gate is just a helpless move. But if there is any hope......
The angry middle-aged man gradually calmed down, he frowned and hesitated, thinking back to the previous son, he was indeed not like an ordinary person. It's just that the current situation is very different from what the boy said, which is really difficult for him to accept.
The crowd hesitated for a moment, and then some of them sat down beside the woman, in fact, whatever they did, they only wished they would live!
The chief of the guard on the city wall saw that this was an opportunity! He immediately ordered people to move rice and other supplies out.
The soldiers carried rice and grain on their backs, hung ropes and slipped down from the city wall, distributing the food of the past few days in an orderly manner.
The chief of the guard acted very cautiously just in case, but to his surprise, these refugees who had been hungry for a long time did not rob, but sat quietly and patiently, waiting for their distribution.
Such an attitude made the originally nervous soldiers feel much more relieved, and at this time, the city gate finally opened quietly.
After a while, the bedding, water, melons and fruits were sent out by 6 renewals, and the refugees watched the promise of the county guard fulfilled, and felt a lot more relieved, although they could not enter the city now, but they had food and clothing guaranteed, so why wait a little longer?
On the side, the middle-aged man walked past a few people and sat down beside the woman, and opened his mouth thoughtfully, "Why does my sister-in-law trust that strange man so much?" How do you know that what the man said must be true? ”
He just didn't understand, didn't understand why this woman chose to trust a stranger in such a situation!
The woman caressed the child who had already eaten and slept, and the expression on her face was never satisfied, "That son gave my child the first bite of food to eat, and for that alone, I am willing to choose to believe him!" ”
