Chapter 440: Riot

"Obey." Shi Lei quickly withdrew from the door and hurriedly walked to the city gate, followed by a team of guards, and the soldiers at the city gate greeted him: "See the general." ”

"Get up, can you find out, how many displaced people have increased in the past few days?" Shi Lei climbed the city tower, looked at the people around the city wall, frowned tightly, and the soldiers next to him were arching their hands and replied: "General Qiyu, there have been hundreds of people in the past few days, and if this continues, my subordinates are afraid that these people will riot, and we will not be able to resist it at that time." ”

Shi Lei naturally thought of this layer, looking at the people outside who couldn't see their heads, he observed for a long time, and then turned around to report.

When he entered the house to meet him, he happened to meet Su Liluo and Song Shuying, and he hurriedly asked a few people to say goodbye: "See the princess, see the emperor." He nodded with Song Shuying again.

Song Shuying returned a salute, and several people then looked at him, Shi Lei did not delay any longer, and replied directly: "Your Majesty, the minister has found out that these people fled here when the war between the Yun State and the Jade State was here, and these days the Jade State has attacked the Yun Kingdom more fiercely, presumably the people want to find a safe place, so they found our Windy City." ”

"Well, it's just that if it goes on like this, I'm afraid that someone will provoke it, and it will cause future troubles when the time comes." Li Jinyu was a little hesitant, if he put all those people into the city, there would be chaos in the Wind City at that time, if he didn't let them in, he only needed to send a little more people to take care of it, and there would probably be no chaos, so after such a comparison, he had already made a decision in his heart.

"Your Majesty, we must not let these people in, it's not that the ministers don't pity these suffering people, it's really that the food in our Windy City is only enough for us to be self-sufficient, if so many people pour in at once, food and accommodation are all problems, it's better to let them go outside the city, and we won't send people to drive them away, as long as they are safe." Shi Lei blurted out his thoughts, and was strongly approved by Li Jinyu, Su Liluo wanted to stop it, but he didn't think of any good countermeasures, so he had to acquiesce to their approach.

Although the soldiers saw that their people were pitiful, they did not dare to disobey the military order, and the people under the city looked at the city gate day by day, hoping that one day it would be opened to give them a place to stay.

Many people huddled under the corner of the tower, there were women with children, the children in their arms were crying with hunger, and the adult men looked at the soldiers guarding the city angrily, and scolded a series of loud words: "Hurry up and open the door, we will all starve to death, don't blame us for not being polite if you don't open the door again." ”

Although the "......" soldiers wanted to refute, they had already spoken from above, and they were not allowed to clash with the people, so they could only let them shout and ignore them.

But the people outside the city gate didn't think so, and someone inside coaxed: "This king looks like a coward, even with his soldiers, he doesn't dare to talk to us, he must be weak-hearted, if we are tougher, maybe we can break through this gate and enter inside to eat and drink spicy food." ”

A gray-clothed scholar hurriedly persuaded: "A few big brothers, you must not have a conflict with the people who have left the country, now that the Jade Kingdom and the Cloud Kingdom are at war, fortunately, the king who has left the country does not participate in this war, so we can get a place to stay under this city, if there is a conflict with the people who have left the country, where will we go then?" ”

He was dedicated to the sake of the people present, but unfortunately he was not accepted by the people, and directly pushed him aside and scolded: "Don't think that you feel great after reading for a few days, this is the king is cowardly and afraid, we are all about to starve to death, what is the use of this place?" Brothers, don't listen to this sour Confucian scholar, follow me and rush in, eating and drinking well is the last word. ”

The gray-clothed scholar still wanted to persuade again, but was pulled directly into the corner by a person to stand still, the man was wearing a coarse cloth shirt, his face was black, and he looked at his body that had not been cleaned for several days, and his black face could only see the shining eyes.

"This big brother, what are you pulling me to do, I still have to persuade them, if something really happens, we won't be able to eat and walk around." The gray-clothed scholar was in a hurry, he just wanted to pull his sleeves out of the hands of the people next to him, and he didn't move at all with a few efforts, he saw that the people had been persuaded, and they stood up one after another, just eager to block them with his own strength.

"You fool, if I hadn't pulled you out, I am afraid that you have been beaten into a pig's head by them at this time, and you can't do anything, and you want to rush in to persuade you." The black-faced man glanced at him with contempt, and after saying this, he no longer persuaded or pulled him, he let go of his hand and the gray-clothed scholar did not leave.

The gray-clothed scholar quietly observed the situation, and saw that it was really as the black-faced man said, the emotions of the people had been stirred, and he could only find death if he broke in. ”

"You don't have to worry, since the king of Liwang doesn't let his subordinates conflict with us, he must not think about them well, but they do think about this matter too simply, the soldiers in the city are well-fed every day, and they are good at fighting, we are all hungry and dizzy, and we are ashamed to fight against them, and it is good not to be beaten to a bruised nose and swollen face."

He analyzed the scholar so carefully and understood the truth in his words, although he was still worried about the group of people in his heart, but he didn't rush up as impulsively as before, put all his thoughts on the person in front of him, and asked curiously: "I haven't asked the name of Brother Tai yet, Xiaosheng Zhao Yue, I have been rescued by Brother Tai this time, and if I have the opportunity in the future, I will repay him well." ”

"It's not necessary, it's just a prison of raising your hands, my surname is Jiang, seeing that I'm a few years older than you, you can just call me Brother Jiang." The black-faced man spat out happily, hesitated again and again but did not say all his real names.

"Brother Jiang, little brother is polite." Zhao Yue bowed politely, and the black-faced man laughed and said: "Little Brother Zhao doesn't need to be polite, we meet in Pingshui, and it is also fate, if it is safe in the future, Brother Jiang will definitely invite you to eat all the delicacies in Beijing." ”

However, in a short time, the two met late, but unfortunately there was not much time for them to talk more, and the people had been incited to clash with the soldiers on the tower.

"Hurry up and let us in, we have to eat, we have to sleep, if you don't open the city gate, we will break in directly." The people under the city tower are all fierce and vicious, and they have not eaten enough for several days, although their bodies are weak, they are full of momentum.

The soldiers on the city tower saw that there was really a riot below, and hurriedly sent someone to pass the word in, and when Jin Yu learned about it, he thought about it calmly and again, and ordered in a cold voice: "Since they don't know how to lift, don't blame us for being polite, General Shi, you quickly take people out to quell the chaos, you don't have to do anything with them unless necessary, let's try to persuade peace." ”

"The ministers understand, the emperor can rest assured, if it is not necessary, the ministers will not harm them." Shi Lei worriedly withdrew from the gate, he quickly rushed to the city tower with people, looked at the excited people outside the city gate, and commanded in a low voice: "When I give an order, you will open the city gate, and the general will personally lead people to persuade them." ”

"General, you have to protect yourself, these people look at the people who come badly, the general still focuses on his own safety, if it really comes to the point of necessity, I think the emperor can also understand the general's distress." Several generals who were close to Shi Lei on weekdays persuaded him one after another, fearing that he would put himself in danger.

"Don't worry, if they don't be reasonable, I don't mind seeing blood, let them know that not everyone can be bullied when we leave the country." Shi Lei strode down the city tower with people, and then took two small teams of people, the city gate was slowly opened, the people looked at the neatly dressed soldiers, and suddenly their eyes were red, and they were about to rush to the city with an order, Shi Lei commanded repeatedly: "Stop them, close the city gate." ”

Shi Lei rushed to the front with a few soldiers, and the city gate slowly closed, completely angering the people who had just seen a glimmer of hope and fell into despair in an instant, and several people pulled a soldier standing next to him, and punched him in the face, and the fierce look on his face saw Shi Lei stunned, and quickly reacted: "Stop, if you move again, General Ben will not be polite." ”
