Chapter 94: Gathering a Crowd to Make Trouble (15)
After hesitating to feed Feng Feiyi with medicine, Su Yitong was so tired that he fell asleep lying in front of the bed.
The early spring has passed, and the sun is getting hotter and hotter.
Before noon, the sunlight baking like a warm stove spilled into the room.
Feng Feiyi's mouth was dry, a thin layer of fine sweat appeared on his hot forehead, and the chaotic consciousness was not fully awake, so he opened his eyes first.
As far as the eye could see, it was Su Yitong's little face lying asleep in front of the bed, slightly tired.
He opened his mouth, but before he could make a sound, Fengyue trotted in.
Her little face, which was red from the sun, was sweating like rain, and she gasped loudly and couldn't breathe: "Oh no... Oh no..."
"What's wrong?" Afraid of waking up the sleeping person, he hurriedly reached out to cover her ears. Only then did he find that his big hand was still on her wrist, sweating profusely.
Pursing his lips, he withdrew his hand, raised his sleeve and wiped the sweat stains on Su Yitong's wrists, but he didn't dislike it at all.
Feng Yue heard his voice and looked up slightly stunned. "Your Royal Highness the Regent, are you awake?"
"Hmm."
Answering softly, he lowered his eyelids and asked, "Why are you so flustered?" ”
usually follows behind His Majesty the Emperor, who does not know etiquette, and it has become her habit not to understand the rules. Suddenly being asked so seriously, Fengyue was a little uncomfortable.
Lowering his head, his little head swayed, as if he was a little embarrassed.
Feng Feiyi was a little impatient when he saw her appearance. "Say."
Feng Yue shrunk her neck and replied truthfully: "The news of His Majesty's appearance yesterday has spread in Youzhou City. ”
The voice was not loud, and it just fell into Feng Feiyi's ears, and he frowned slightly. "So what?!"
Fengyue whispered: "Early this morning, some people gathered on the streets, saying that His Majesty was incompetent, ignoring the people of Youzhou, and came to Youzhou City for many days without even showing his face......"
At the end of the conversation, the voice gradually became quieter.
She had seen the scene of people gathering in the streets. Because those people are now standing outside the gate of Fan's Mansion, raising their arms and shouting, shouting and scolding for today's incompetence, they also claim to have an explanation.
The prefect Fan Ling was guarding the door of his house, as anxious as a flea on the wall, so he sent her to find His Majesty the Emperor.
"Is there such a thing?!" Thick eyebrows frowned, a flash flashed in his ink-stained eyes, and he asked, "How long has the emperor been guarding here?" ”
"It's been one night."
Feng Feiyi put on his clothes, picked up Su Yitong, who was still asleep, and laid him flat on the bed, and ordered: "You go out first, this king will come immediately." ”
The sick body has not yet recovered, his body is a little weak, and he stood holding the screen for a while before he stood firm.
The scorching sun fell on him, and the crease between his brows wrinkled even deeper.
After changing his clothes, he went out of the room and closed the door with his backhand.
Feng Yue waited outside the door, saw him come out, and hurriedly said: "The prefect just sent someone to spread the word again, saying that the group of troublesome people outside is about to be unable to suppress it. ”
He nodded, his pale face slightly flushed in the sun. "Let's go."
I walked with a step, but my steps were weak.
Feng Yue followed behind, and when she saw his appearance, she was also worried in her heart.
……
Youzhou City, which was empty in the past, is particularly lively today, densely packed with people, and at a glance, it is full of black dots that see the end but not the end.
At the gate of Fan's Mansion, Fan Ling hurriedly paced under the eaves. The officers and soldiers who intercepted the people in front of them went up batch after batch, and they didn't see the slightest timidity in the surging crowd.
Looking back, there was still no movement in the courtyard. He couldn't help but be a little worried.
If this thing is done in normal times, it is easy to do, but it is a big deal to arrest the troublemaker, beat him fatly, and intimidate a few words, maybe it will be effective.
But this time is different from the past, and these helpless people in front of them are obviously prepared. If he does not seek the will of the Son of Heaven and does it against the people, he is afraid that it will only cause greater panic.
Under the two thoughts, the only thing he can do is to guard this gate.
The sun is scorching, the cicadas are chirping, and the birds are chirping.
The troublemakers are facing the scorching sun, standing on the exposed streets, pushing and shoving, and they are already sweating.
The dry voice is unsatisfactory, and it is not as imposing as it is imagined. But it was repeated one sentence after another, tirelessly. "Today's mediocrity and incompetence, greedy for pleasure, and even put our people in Youzhou between fire and water, which is really unworthy. When rolling down from the throne...... Abdicate and let the virtuous live, and let the capable live there. ”
The excitement of the voice really makes people's blood boil.
None of this is the most infuriating.
The most annoying thing is that there are still people who take advantage of the innocence of children to parade a group of children who are only about six or seven years old through the streets and alleys, singing an unknown ballad in their mouths.
"The meat of the Zhumen dog stinks, and there are sick and dead bones on the road. The Son of Heaven does not know the suffering of the people, and treats wine as a song and rejoicing every night. ”
Fengyue felt ashamed of them.
These people, to put it bluntly, are a group of white-eyed wolves who will take revenge. When I received your favor, I thanked you a thousand times, and when I felt that you couldn't play a role, I beat you up again, which was quite unreasonable.
After snorting heavily, the little girl looked away and scolded secretly: "White-eyed wolf." ”
Feng Feiyi looked down at her angrily and funny. "How do you know they're white-eyed wolves?"
Fengyue pouted. "Your Majesty is such a good person, how can he be a faint king."
Besides, what emperor would value other people's lives more than his own?!
In the past few days by Su Yitong's side, she didn't see anyone beside her, but only saw her good.
Only those who are blindly led by the nose will feel that His Majesty is a faint king.
Feng Feiyi covered his lips and chuckled. "If she knew that you praised her like this, she would have woken up laughing even when she fell asleep."
Fan Ling heard the movement and turned to look over. At this glance, it was teary-eyed and tearful. "Your Royal Highness the Regent, you're finally here."
He looked behind him again, and he was a little disappointed that he didn't see the person he expected to appear.
Feng Feiyi swept him coldly, strode out of the threshold, and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Fan Ling shook his head, looked at the dense crowd with a bitter face, and replied: "These people don't know what's wrong, they stay here early in the morning, talking nonsense. ”
Such foul language as insulting the Son of Heaven cannot be said by himself, and he can only replace it with four words of gibberish.
"Really?"
Feng Feiyi looked over silently, his cold eyebrows and eyes seemed to be stained with frost.
It was obviously so hot that he was covered in sweat, but Fan Ling felt a chill in his heart for no reason.
"But I went to find out why." Feng Feiyi was surprisingly not angry.
Fan Ling looked at him with some astonishment, always feeling that something was wrong. "I checked it, and it is said that it is because the food and grass in the city have run out, and the people are hungry. Yesterday, I heard that His Majesty showed his face, and I thought that His Majesty deliberately ignored the people's suffering, so he came to make trouble. ”
"Hungry?" Feng Feiyi squinted at him. "How many days have you been hungry?"
Counting the days, Yunqing should also go to Youzhou.
It's just that there has been no news for a long time, isn't something wrong?
"One day!" Fan Ling lowered his voice, a little weak-hearted.
Although he is the prefect of Youzhou, since the spread of the plague, the grain and grass in the city have long been scattered in the days when the city was closed.
Moreover, more and more refugees have come from other places these days, and it is only a matter of time before riots arise.
"It's such a big move in one day." Feng Feiyi said angrily: "Could it be that I am really so incompetent when I leave the country, and let others lead me by the nose?" Is listening to the wind the rain? ”
How could he not know that behind this gathering of people to make trouble, someone did it deliberately.
However, he underestimated that person, and when the national disaster was at the head, he still had the heart to play such a little trick.
With a light snort, his words were not angry and arrogant, and he said: "Someone." ”
Immediately someone stepped forward to receive the order. "The subordinates are here."
He didn't even lift his eyelids. "Arrest the people who make the most trouble and talk the most and put them in prison."
The worst troublemaker? Talking the most? The soldiers who received the order were a little embarrassed.
As far as the eye can see, everyone is talking, and no one can escape this responsibility.
But if you want to catch them one by one? They seem to be a little understaffed!
Fengyue was a little unbearable. Reminder: "Stupid, His Royal Highness the Regent meant to let you catch a few leaders. ”
Since it is bought by others, then someone will definitely take the lead, as long as the leader is caught, these troublemakers will have no backbone, and then they will naturally disperse.
The soldier glanced at Feng Yue with a complicated expression. was scolded by a little girl for being stupid, and her face was more or less unbearable.
He replied with a red face, turned and left. "Yes."
That's good?! Fan Ling, who had been anxious all morning, looked over and suddenly felt that His Royal Highness the Prince Regent was really majestic and heroic.
Obviously he didn't do anything, just stopped there, said two words that didn't hurt, and the farce that lasted for a morning was just gone!
He almost used a knife and a gun. In such a comparison, he is really a little sorry for the hat of the prefect on his head.
The soldiers quickly arrested the most violent people one by one.
Sure enough, no one agitated, and the troublemakers shouted and shouted that their actions were a bit funny.
After a while, they dispersed.
Each goes back to his own house, and each finds his own mother.
The dense crowd disappeared in the blink of an eye, and even the surrounding air was much fresher.
Feng Feiyi's eyes turned to the few troublemakers, and commanded in a deep voice: "Take it down, torture it, when to recruit, when to stop." ”
The people who heard his words only felt that the hairs on their bodies stood on end, and they subconsciously shivered.
What a grudge he has with others. After a few words, they will be tortured, and they are not afraid of beating people to death.
Secretly swallowing his spit, the soldiers escorted the people down.
Fan Ling gave up. "If the minister wants to go to the prison to have a look, he won't send it to His Royal Highness the Regent."
He heard that many of the plague-infected corpses in the prison had been carried out, and he always had to help find a feng shui place to bury them.
Feng Feiyi squinted at him. "You don't have to bury those corpses, just burn them."
If there is any trouble in the later stage, he is powerless.
