Master Liu sat in the flower hall of the prefect's mansion, touching the hot tea, and pulling the rim of the cup with the tea lid for a while, really worried in his heart.

commanded the garrison at the head of the city, and was busy for half a month, Master Liu was dark and thin, and he suffered some hardships in the end. The more this was the case, the more convinced Song Governor was of his words. But seeing that there was no trace of the people of Daxia, the prefect couldn't sit still.

It's not that I really hope that the Great Xia people will attack the city, but if it continues, even if the Great Xia people don't come, I'm afraid that Liangzhou will become an empty city.

Song Governor, who was sitting in the chief, was barehead without a hat, and his hair was combed in a hurry, and he looked like a wilted pickle. Liangzhou has become in this situation, but he has been forced to go to Liangshan. At present, only by facing the Great Xia people head-on and holding Liangzhou City can we make up for the merits.

"When will the Great Xia people attack?" He glanced at Master Liu and asked with a sigh.

At this time, the master and servant were in a very complicated mood, on the one hand, they were afraid that the Great Xia people would really come, and on the other hand, they were worried that they would not come.

"Wait...... Wait. Master Liu put down the teacup, raised his sleeve and touched the sweat on his forehead.

"Wait?" Governor Song knocked on the table, "Wait any longer, we are afraid that there will only be you and me left in Liangzhou!" ”

Master Liu was so shocked by the sound of slapping the table that his goatee straightened, and he blurted out: "Otherwise, the master will give an order, and the people of Liangzhou will not be allowed to go out of the city!" At the moment of the great enemy, the whole city should defend the city, how can they be easily let go? ”

Song Governor's heart moved when he heard this, and he didn't think about the ban on going out of the city, but he was indecisive and lacked assertiveness, and he had never been able to make up his mind, for fear of being scolded by the people of Liangzhou and ruining his reputation; Second, I am afraid that the ban on going out of the city will cause riots, and the garrison of Liangzhou City is already insufficient, so what can I do if it is chaotic?

"Blocking...... It's better to sparse ...... If the people make a fuss......" he said hesitantly.

"What are you afraid of? The so-called people don't fight with the officials, and we are not oppressing the people, but they are not allowed to leave Liangzhou, who will risk the following crimes for this? "Master Liu is not nervous in his heart, now in Liangzhou City, only he and the children of the Liu family know that the people of Daxia have no shadow at all, so he can hardly imagine the fear of the common people, "As the saying goes, the people are like lambs, and the officials are like tigers, and the lord is also sealing the city for their good, and it is not forcing them to go to the city and fight hard with the people of Daxia, what can happen!" ”

Seeing that the prefect of Song was still entangled, he got up and approached the prefect and threw out the most critical bargaining chip: "Don't forget, sir, the evaluation of the officials is not only public security, but also taxes. That's a lot! ”

These words stabbed the soft underbelly of the Song prefect. Whether it is to resist the people of Daxia or to appease the people, the prefect of Song is for his own political achievements, and only if the evaluation is first-class for several consecutive years, he is qualified to submit the transfer excerpt to the ministry, so in the final analysis, the official reputation and popularity are nonsense, and the evaluation is what he cares about the most.

"Then ...... Say what you say. Song Zhifu hesitated again and again, but finally sighed and replied helplessly.

So, in the afternoon of the same day, the gate of Liangzhou City was completely closed, originally in order to prevent the people of Daxia, they could only enter and exit, but now they were not even given out, which immediately triggered a strong reaction from the people in the city.

The rich and powerful people are gone, some relatives and friends are gone, and even the pockmarks of the second Wang family next door have run away, why is it not allowed when it is Lao Tzu's turn? Isn't that bullying?

Fear, panic and despair stir up the restlessness that has been suppressed in the deepest depths of people's hearts to the extreme. At first, there were only a few people surrounding the entrance of the yamen, but soon the crowd grew more and more, and by the evening of the third day, there were already hundreds of people, who were rushing to the god-like yamen, asking about the matter. Where did the officials know the reason for the closure of the city, the people in front of them were all fathers and villagers, and they didn't look up and look down on weekdays, and they were really not good at getting up and driving people away. When it gets dark, the torches light up half the street! When the officials saw that things were not good, some of them hid in the gate, and some simply took off the robes of the officials and shouted with the villagers, which attracted more and more people's voices.

"Give us an explanation! Tell me why! Why aren't we allowed to leave? "Yes! Oh, yes! Why was it suddenly banned? Didn't you see a notice posted at the gate of the city beforehand? "Is the Song Governor's Mansion going to let our ordinary people give Liangzhou a funeral?" "Open the gates! Open the gates! Let's get out of the way! ”

After a few days of grievances, and a few hours of waiting for the crowd, seeing that the door of the prefect was closed, and no one came to give an explanation, they couldn't stop it, and they had long forgotten the fear of the yamen government in the past, and had the courage to find a crowbar and began to pry the door.

The chaotic shouting was deafening, and even the prefect of Song and Master Liu, who were hiding in the inner house, could hear it clearly.

"What to do? I said that this is not appropriate, right? Now these people are making a fuss! Song Zhifu said with sweaty clothes.

Master Liu didn't expect the situation to be so serious, and he stammered, "If ...... If not...... Sir, you go out and say a few words, the so-called people are afraid of officials, as soon as you come forward, sir, those people will definitely disperse. ”

"Whew!" Governor Song spat at him in the face, "I, Song, am really blind, so I listened to the slander of a villain like you!" Haven't I been hurt enough by you? Let me go out and talk? Do you want me to die? ”

Master Liu was smacked on the face, and he didn't even dare to raise his hand to wipe it, he was also panicked in his heart, thinking of the idea of the Liu family's child, the more he felt that it was not a taste, could it be that kid did not succeed in his heart?

Lying about the military situation and causing a civil uprising, these two things add up, although the Song Governor's Mansion is not good, he is afraid that he will even have to send his life as a master!

"What to do? What to do? Song Zhifu paced back and forth in the house anxiously, thinking about being annoyed, stopped and slapped Master Liu's mouth a few times, Master Liu was beaten with a pig's head, and had to be accompanied by a wry smile, the two of them were like ants on a hot pot.

Suddenly, there was a cacophony, mixed with angry roars: "The gate has been breached!" "Take the dog prefect out for questioning!" "That's right! Catalpa out of the dog prefect! "Only by killing the dog officer can we get out of the city!"

A series of shouts and scolding made the Song prefect panic, he gritted his teeth, grabbed the defenseless Master Liu, dragged him out, threw it in front of the crowd and said loudly: "This prefect was deceived by this bastard master, so he made a mistake......

Before he finished his words, he was covered up by the crowd that had been suppressed for a long time, and even the people behind him didn't hear what he said clearly, and a group of people rushed up, and the two people who were alone in Song Zhifu and Master Liu were instantly overwhelmed by the crowd.

Since the mob captured the Yamen, the situation in Liangzhou has risen suddenly, and the people who can't leave, can't leave, and have nowhere to go have begun to vent their indignation, and fanatics with torches can be seen in all streets and alleys, and they are besieging the large houses left behind......
