Public opinion, as it sounds, may sound great, but it is illusory.

You say it's big, it can really make many emperors in ancient and modern millennium do everything for it, and it can indeed change the situation in the world; But if you want to say that it is illusory, it is not wrong, especially for some black-hearted officials, what public opinion is not popular, there is no need to take it to heart at all, such as the six thieves in the DPRK and China, if they really have a little bit of the people's will and public opinion in their hearts, there will be no such thing as Huashigang.

But as long as there are aspiring officials who want to make a difference in the court, or even go further and want to leave a name in history, they have to be cautious about this. For example, Zhang Xuan and the others present here have great concerns about this public opinion, and they are really afraid that the people of Hangzhou will spread the matter more and more evilly, and completely ruin their own reputation.

How good is that? The two of them had difficulties in their hearts at the same time, and they looked at each other again, but they couldn't come up with an accurate idea for the time being. After a while, Uncle Zhang said: "In two days, I want to meet the local gentry and the elders in the countryside, and it will not be a problem to explain our attitude." ”

Xuan Cangyong nodded in acquiescence, they really couldn't come up with a better way. But apparently, by the time they knew about the trouble, it was already a little too late. Just when Uncle Zhang reached out and picked up the white child that had accidentally fallen on the chessboard, there was a sudden commotion outside, which made his brows frown again: "What's the matter?" Who's in the Wailuo? "This is a deep mansion compound, and there is no movement to be transmitted, so what kind of chaos does it have to be outside now?

Just as he was about to ask someone to go out to take a look, an attaché had already rushed over with a nervous expression: "Two ministers, something happened." Outside, many people suddenly gathered in front of our gate, saying that they wanted to ...... and wanted to do so."

"What are they talking about?" Xuancang Yongdeng glared at him and shouted dissatisfiedly.

"They said they wanted to drive us out of Hangzhou...... "This one finally told the truth, and at the same time, the panic on his face became more and more intense.

"Bold, what a lawlessness! Where did the Diao people come from, they dared to run to our mansion to make trouble, and did they really dare not bring them to justice? "Xuan Cangyong was really completely enraged this time. Originally, he was extremely aggrieved because of Sun Tu's various actions, but because the other party was really strong in military power, he couldn't attack, but now it's good, even these Diao people dare to bully themselves, how can this be endured?

As he spoke, he got up, as if he wanted to give the order to take someone. But just as he opened his mouth and wanted to continue to order, Uncle Zhang had already taken the lead and shouted: "Brother Xuan, I'm afraid there is something hidden in this matter." If we really take people, we will only be more passive, and then we will really become the enemy of the whole Jiangnan. ”

Although Xuan Cangyong was annoyed, he didn't mess up his mind after all, and when he heard this, he instantly came to his senses: "It's Sun Tu, he is so bold, does he want to provoke a civil uprising to deal with us?" ”

"It's not enough to deal with it, just to suppress us and ruin our reputation." Uncle Zhang's face was also blue, and he was also angry. said that he had made enough concessions before, and he didn't say that he had to be an enemy of Sun Tu, why was the other party so unrelenting? But I don't want to think about it, since I was ordered to come to Jiangnan to serve as the coach, I have actually stood on the opposite side of Sun Tu.

"So what do you say? If you don't take people, those people will never give up, and if you let them mess around, it will only make things more and more out of control, and even if we have a clear conscience, I'm afraid it will be difficult to say. Xuan Cangyong was full of uneasiness.

Uncle Zhang frowned and muttered for a moment: "In fact, the people outside are just deceived to do such things in a moment's confusion, as long as you and I go out and make things clear, they will naturally not come nonsense." Let's go, you and I will go together and make things clear. ”

This is indeed a good countermeasure, but it is a little difficult for Xuan Cangyong to accept. As a member of the imperial court, he has always had a high sense of superiority, how could he ever think of bowing his head to a group of mustard-like mud legs to explain? But when things came to this point, he had to make concessions again, hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded in response, and then walked out after Uncle Zhang's night.

At this time, hundreds of people had gathered in front of the mansion, and everyone was shouting and shouting something, but because everyone was not unified, they were shouting in a mess, and it was difficult for people to understand what they were shouting. But under such circumstances, the emotions of these people are becoming more and more excited, and they have completely lost the reverence that they should have for the high-ranking officials of the imperial court.

"Get out of here, leave us in Hangzhou......" When the two high-ranking officials finally walked out of the door, they heard the last sentence. This made their faces more and more ugly, especially Xuan Cangyong, who wanted to immediately order people to disperse these people and beat some people well.

But now he couldn't make such an impulsive decision, so he could only shout loudly with Uncle Zhang: "Fellow villagers, please be quiet, if you have anything to say, don't be used by some people and do things that you will regret for the rest of your life!" ”

"I am Zhang Shuye, the new commander of the Jiangnan Rebellion Army, and I am also a straight scholar of the Longtu Pavilion of the Imperial Court, if you have any worries, just make it clear to the official, as long as the official can solve it, I will definitely not refuse!" Uncle Zhang then reported his identity again.

The deterrent effect is still not small. As soon as they heard that he was such a high-ranking official, the people's hearts were pang, and they finally slowly quieted down. Immediately, two or three old men were elected by everyone, stepped forward and said, "Zhang Xianggong, Xiaomin and others have no choice, so they have to come here to make trouble." It's really because I heard that as long as the chaos in Fangla is quelled, the imperial court will levie heavy taxes in Jiangnan again, and the Huashi Gang will also be reopened, which will really force me to a dead end. Please also ask Zhang Xianggong to give us a way to live. ”

"Yes, General Sun was exempted from many harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes when he was here, and he also promised that we would not increase taxes and taxes and grain indiscriminately, so your court can't deny it, right?"

Speaking of this, someone shouted loudly behind him: "We only recognize General Sun, you all go back, just let General Sun stay in Hangzhou......"

"Bold! You guys are so bold, are you trying to rebel again? He still dares to force me to wait for the imperial court officials to leave the office, this is the territory of my Great Song Dynasty, and if he dares to say this, this official will not spare him! Xuan Cangyong was even more annoyed when he heard this, and immediately scolded him, blocking the soothing words that Zhang Shuye wanted to say just now.

Uncle Zhang's face changed suddenly, at this time, he shouldn't anger everyone anymore, otherwise things will only get worse and worse, but he didn't expect this Xuan Cangyong to be so confused. Sure enough, hearing this, the reaction of the people in front of him was even greater, and someone immediately shouted: "It turns out that the imperial court just wants to force me and others to a dead end!" Maybe they want to get rid of General Sun, and then condemn us for a felony. We must not sit idly by. ”

"That's right, kill these dumb officials, we just need General Sun!" Someone else shouted as if provocatively. As he spoke, he suddenly raised his hand, and a fist-sized stone was thrown by him fiercely, and he roared straight to Xuan Cangyong's front door.

Xuan Cangyong really never dreamed that he would be attacked by the people under such circumstances, and he himself was just a powerless scholar, and his reaction was slow, and when he saw the stone flying, all he could do was let out an exclamation, and his body only shook slightly. Then I only heard a snap, and there was a hot pain on my face, and tears and snot poured down with blood.

The situation spiraled out of control at this moment. It's like pouring a scoop of water into the already boiling oil, and it fries up in an instant. The shouts of killing these unconscious officials in the crowd were already loud, and at the same time, countless stones, slashing heads and covering faces, all smashed into the faces of the unprepared Zhang Shuye, Xuan Cangyong and other attachés.

And after taking a few hits, Xuan Cangyong finally reacted and shouted: "It's against you!" Come on, take them all down for me! ”

It wasn't until he said this that the servants in front of him and behind him came back from their shock, shouted one after another, drew their swords out of their sheaths, and rushed towards the people in front. And after seeing those bright weapons, the people in front of them finally panicked, shouting "kill, the officials and soldiers kill people...... and fled in all directions.

The situation was completely chaotic at this moment, and Zhang Shuye, who had been hit with a few stones on his body, was completely stunned on the spot, and then his heart sank to the bottom. He looked at Xuan Cangyong, who was covered in blood and hideous face, and was still shouting loudly, letting people take down these Diao people, knowing that there was really no room for recovery in this matter.

Just when the guards from the capital pounced fiercely, knocked the slower people to the ground with a single sword, and tried to lock them up. On the street ahead, a large number of officers and soldiers have already poured up like a tidal wave. The guards were still a little happy when they saw this, and just as they were about to beckon them to take them together, the soldiers strode past the fleeing people, rushed to them, and surrounded them with a hula.

"You are not allowed to move, you dare to bully the people so much in my Hangzhou city, can I really not wait for you to be cured?" As one of the officers at the head shouted in a low voice, all the sergeants had already come forward, and even surrounded the two high-ranking officials, Zhang Shuye and Xuan Cangyong, who were still standing in front of the gate.

Up to now, Uncle Zhang, how could they not see that all this was arranged by Sun Tu, which made their faces and hearts sink to the bottom at the same time......
