After listening to the report of the officials, a word suddenly popped up in Wu Song's mind: demonstration. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

This is a word that travels through the previous era. At that time, mass demonstrations were happening all over the world, and they happened every few moments.

Because he is used to seeing this kind of phenomenon in the news, Wu Song is not particularly shocked. However, Xu En was greatly surprised.

As an official of this era, he had never seen such a large-scale mass demonstration.

In his eyes, the common people dared to gather on such a large scale to shout slogans and demonstrate at the gate of the county government, so why not? Isn't this a rebellion?

Rebellion is undoubtedly the biggest crime of this era, and it is also the thing that local officials are most afraid of encountering.

Wu Song saw that Xu En, who had always been strategic, calm and resolute, and who was full of confidence and energy in the reform of the law just now, suddenly changed his complexion, and couldn't help but say: "This is 。。。。。。。 What's going on here? How...... Why is it that all of a sudden someone is going to rebel? ”

Wu Song hurriedly said: "Adults don't need to panic. This is not a rebellion, this is just a demonstration! ”

Xu En had never heard of the name "demonstration", but he still understood the meaning of "demonstration", and said: "These。。。。。。 These people dare to gather to demonstrate to the government, isn't this a rebellion? ”

Wu Song said: "Demonstration and rebellion are two different things. The demonstrations were nothing more than crowds gathering to collectively report their demands to the government. The reform of the law is originally a new thing, and it will inevitably arouse doubts and worries in the hearts of the people. They gathered to express their demands to the government, and as long as we explain to them the true purpose of the reform and gain their understanding and trust, I believe they will be automatically disbanded. ”

Xu En calmed down and immediately ordered: "Quick!" Quickly send an order to the officers and soldiers defending the city to close the city gate immediately to prevent more people from pouring into the city! ”

"Slow down, adult!" Wu Song hurriedly said, "Now that so many demonstrators have poured into the city, if the city gate is rashly closed and people outside the city are forbidden to come in again, once these demonstrators inside and outside the city should be combined inside and outside, and stimulate contradictions, it will not be beautiful!" ”

Xu En thought about it for a while, and asked, "Then what should I do according to what you say?" ”

Wu Song thought for a while and said, "The mass demonstration is nothing more than to express some kind of demand. Now the protesters are clearly opposed to the reform of the law in Qinghe County. Before our reform was implemented, these masses organized a large-scale demonstration of the law, and this must have been someone who spread rumors about the reform of the law, causing misunderstanding among the people! ”

Xu Endao: "Not bad. Let's go out and explain the benefits of changing the law to these demonstrators! ”

With that, he got up and was about to go out. Wu Song saw that Xu En, who was usually very resolute and steady, seemed inexperienced in the face of such a large-scale mass demonstration, and hurriedly said: "My lord, stay for the time being." It is now unknown what is happening outside, and it is not known how many demonstrators there were. The adults are the lords of a county, and going out rashly and directly facing these demonstrators is equivalent to pushing themselves to the front line immediately, and there is no buffer room. If you are not careful, you will be very passive in the future! ”

When Xu En heard this, he looked at Wu Song approvingly, and felt that he had rewarded Wu Song unusually, and he really didn't look at the wrong person. Seeing that Wu Song was so calm, he also calmed down even more and said, "Yes! Or do you go and see the situation first! ”

Wu Song said: "I'll go now!" He turned around and went out, striding towards the yamen, but he didn't have time to look at Pan Jinlian again.

Pan Jinlian looked at the back of Wu Song striding away, her eyes were gloomy, and she hurriedly bowed down to Xu En and said, "My lord, please forgive the slave for trespassing in the court!" ”

At this time, the matter was urgent, and Xu En didn't have the heart to deal with Pan Jinlian's matter for a while, so he waved his hand casually and said, "You go down first and continue to live in the yamen!" ”

Pan Jinlian had no choice but to return to her residence, but she heard the noise of people outside the yamen, and she didn't know how many people had gathered, and these people were obviously emotional. Wu Song went to face so many people alone, I don't know if it will be okay? Between her delicate eyebrows, a trace of worry and melancholy inevitably appeared.

Wu Song did not rush out of the yamen. When he came to the yamen, he first climbed to a small attic next to him, and stood at the window to quietly look out.

I saw that outside the yamen, the crowded crowd had already crowded the streets, and it seemed that more people were pouring in from outside. These people were all dressed as ordinary people, including peasants and traders, and they were all loud and shouting, opposing the reform of the law, saying that the reform of the law was to force the people of Qinghe to a dead end, and their emotions were very excited.

Some of them saw that the officials in the yamen had not come out for a long time to talk, and they were already ready to make a move, and they wanted to rush open the yamen and break in.

Once these agitated people break the yamen and rush in, the nature will change, and there is really a possibility that it will cause a major civil uprising, and the consequences will be unimaginable.

At this time, Liu Quan and the others saw that Wu Dutou was coming, and they all followed, and said to Wu Song: "Dutou! Capture the thief and capture the king first! Let's go get the leaders who are the most troublesome first! ”

Wu Song's heart moved, and he felt that Liu Quan's statement was very reasonable.

However, he immediately realized that at this moment, this must not be the case, and said: "Now that there are so many demonstrators, and everyone is very excited, if you arrest people rashly, I am afraid that it will immediately arouse contradictions and cause the villagers to act more violently, and the consequences will be serious!" ”

Liu Quan looked at the situation outside, and also felt a little hairy in his heart. He had been an errand boy in the yamen for so many years, and he had never seen so many people suddenly besieging the yamen for a demonstration, and he didn't know how to deal with it for a while. But he knew that just by relying on the existing arresters in the yamen, he wanted to go out and arrest people, but he was afraid that if they were not caught, the catchers themselves would be killed by these excited demonstrators.

At this time, another fast catcher also had the same feeling as Liu Quan, and said: "Now there are too few fast catchers in our yamen to deal with so many people." Wudutou, this situation is probably not something that we can deal with, so it is better to suggest that the magistrate mobilize the army to suppress it! ”

Liu Quandao: "That's right. These Diao people dare to make such nonsense, it is simply a rebellion, and only by mobilizing the army to suppress it immediately can we control the situation and prevent the situation from deteriorating! ”

When Wu Song heard this, he was furious and reprimanded: "Fart! These are all ordinary people in Qinghe County, villagers in the township, they just have a misunderstanding of the law change, and they just came to the yamen to express their demands, and they are not really rebelling, how can they be suppressed by the army? Do you really want to drive them into rebellion? ”
