Chapter 601: Closing the Dragon
The roar was like a frenzy, and Fang Huaijie was like a withered grass in the wind and rain, only knowing how to retreat blindly.
The head-catcher king Qi Chen knew that the situation was critical, so he drank the official who wanted to draw a knife next to him, and said loudly: "Fellow villagers, Lord Yuan is really fine, the assassin was stopped by Lord Ji of Duanzhou Longwei Mansion, please don't be fooled, Lord Yuan will come soon, I will send someone to urge." ”
Turning his face, Wang Qichen said to the official beside him: "Go and invite the adults to come, even if you carry them, you have to carry the adults." The official also knew that the matter was urgent, so he ran to the city, and heard Wang Qichen behind him continue to roar: "Fellow villagers, don't be reckless, the army of the Andong Protectorate is only two hundred miles away, once there is a misunderstanding, I am afraid that the jade will be burned." I believe everyone has heard that the disaster relief food distributed by the court has entered Duanzhou, and it will come in three or four days at most. ”
Jiang Anyi secretly praised that this head catcher was a character, and he was not chaotic in the face of danger, and the people who were on the verge of rioting were pulled back again, and the situation was gradually controlled.
Among the crowd was Zhu Lei, a disciple of the Yuantian Sect brought by Yang Siqi, who was bent on mixing the water, and screamed: "Everyone, don't listen to the nonsense of Eagle Claw Sun, the food for disaster relief in the past few days is scarce and scarce, and it is moldy, and our life-saving food has been greedy by these turtle grandsons." I heard that the Anton Metropolitan Protectorate is going to send troops to disperse everyone back to their hometowns, or they will be escorted to Qianzhou, which will not give us a way to live. ”
The number of victims coming from all over the world is increasing, the food for disaster relief is tight, and the daily grain of 400 stone is gradually insufficient for distribution, so it is inevitable that more water will be poured out. The price of grain in the city skyrocketed, and the money was deducted and exchanged for silver with white flowers, and a bowl of rice could make a yellow flower girl sleep with her, and a liter of rice could be exchanged for a half-sized girl.
The soup kitchen officials beat and scolded the victims, molested the women of good families, and withheld the food for disaster relief, these victims all saw it, and at this time, when they were brought out, they immediately aroused the accumulated anger, and some people roared angrily: "Kill this group of turtle grandsons, everyone fights." ”
Jiang Anyi was not far from Zhu Lei, and when Zhu Lei provoked the victims, he could see clearly, seeing that Zhu Lei's face was full of red light, he didn't look like a victim at all, and knew that this person had bad intentions. He took out a small piece of broken silver the size of his thumb from his bosom, and with a flick of his fingers, the small broken silver hit Zhu Lei's shoulder through the crack of the person. Don't look at it as just a small piece of silver, Zhu Lei felt like he had been hit by an arrow in his shoulder, half of his body felt numb and painful, and he screamed and shouted: "Who is plotting against uncle." ”
Jiang Anyi squeezed the crowd with his head in a sullen manner, and shouted: "Long Wei is on an errand, this person is a bandit of the Yuantian Sect, instigating everyone to rebel, and the crime is unforgivable. ”
Long Wei was famous, and the Yuan Tianjiao was also untainted in the hearts of the people, and the victims beside Zhu Lei immediately scattered, exposing him alone to the crowd. Wang Qichen didn't know if it was really Long Wei who made the move, listening to Zhu Lei's voice just now and the voice provoked in front of him was indeed the same.
The opportunity was rare, Wang Qichen unchained and walked to Zhu Lei and said: "Let's go, Wang will take this Yuantian Sect bandit to the yamen for interrogation, don't listen to the instigation of the Yuantian Sect, the old man in the family should have told you about the tragedy fifty years ago." ”
Fifty years ago, the Yuantianjiao was pacified, Duanzhou was the capital of the Yuantianjiao, hundreds of thousands of innocent people were implicated and killed, and the old people in their sixties still remember the events of that year.
Of course, Zhu Lei will not be restrained and wants to hide
Fleeing into the crowd, but half of his body was in severe pain, his hands and feet were not dexterous, seeing that the people around him were hiding far away, Wang Qichen trembled the chains and got closer and closer, Zhu Lei gritted his teeth, took out a dagger from his arms with his left hand, and brandished it towards Wang Qichen.
There were still many Yuan Tianjiao people in the crowd, shouting: "The government has arrested people, everyone should flee for their lives." ”
The victims scattered and fled, some people took advantage of the chaos to attack Wang Qichen, a dagger from Wang Qichen's back, Wang Qichen's back was pulled out of a foot-long wound, blood flowed down the placket of the clothes, stained on the mud ground, the red flames were terrifying. Injured the head catcher of the government in public, this is a rebellion, the people in front screamed and flashed back, and the people in the back desperately squeezed forward to see what was going on, and there was a mess outside the south gate.
Wang Qichen has been a head catcher for many years, and he knows that he can't panic, so he took advantage of the fact that there was no one around, chained his left hand and knife in his right hand, and slowly retreated backwards, and more than a dozen officials behind him also drew knives and came forward to converge. At the city gate, Yuan Decheng appeared in a sedan chair, and Ji Datao and his subordinates rode horses to protect them.
When the victims outside the city saw Yuan Decheng, they cheered one after another, "Great, Lord Yuan is fine", "God bless Lord Yuan", and the tense atmosphere immediately eased. Yuan Tianjiao intended to save people, and when he saw that the government came to help, he pulled Zhu Lei into the crowd and disappeared without a trace.
Someone tore open the placket of his shirt and roughly wrapped the wound for Wang Qichen, the wound was not deep, and the injury was unbearable. Wang Qichen came to Yuan Xianling's side and briefly described what had just happened, Yuan Decheng was secretly afraid that if he came one step late, things might not be able to be cleaned up.
Wang Qichen said to Ji Datao gratefully: "Thanks to Master Ji for sending Long Wei to hide among the victims, otherwise the bandits of the Yuantian Sect would have instigated the victims to rebel just now." ”
Ji Datao was depressed in his heart, except for the four people around him, there was only Lai Hongfei who was still in the city, and Long Wei, who didn't know where it was, squeaked in his mouth and was suspicious in his heart. Yuan Decheng stood on the table on the side of the servants, comforted the victims, and then announced the start of recruiting the husband to repair the embankment.
There was a long queue in front of the five tables, and the victims began to register in an orderly manner, at this time the cauldron at the city gate began to light a fire.
After some tossing, Yuan Decheng sweated profusely, his head was buzzing, and he said to Wan Huaijie with a strong spirit: "Lord Wan, Yuan is not energetic, and these recruited people are going to bother you to send them to the embankment." ”
Wan Huaijie's soul had just returned to its place, and when he heard Yuan Decheng say that he was out of his body again, he shook his head again and again: "The Yuantian Sect bandits have ill intentions, Wan is a scholar, and he doesn't dare to take risks easily, Lord Yuan still sends the county yamen to go, Wan Mou will go back to the yamen, send six hundred stone of grain to the county yamen, and say goodbye." ”
Seeing Wan Huaijie flee and leave, Ji Datao snorted and scolded: "These guys, they are more ruthless than one when they are greedy for money on weekdays, and one is more timid than the other when they encounter problems. Lord Yuan, you are not lightly injured and go back to the Ya to rest, I will send these people for you. ”
Jiang Anyi did not mix in the excluded people, he went directly to the south, out of the embankment of the Yuanhua River for five miles, standing on the embankment in front of him a vast ocean, the river surging like a galloping horse, floating objects flashed by, which was terrifying. Walking three miles east along the embankment, you can see people running back and forth like ant colonies on the embankment, carrying wood, rocks and dirt bags. When I got closer, I saw a hole more than three feet wide at the embankment, and the river water poured in, and there was an ocean behind me.
On both sides of the gap, a lot of stone quarries and dirt bags have been piled up
Large and small stones are piled up all over the embankment, some of the large stones are three feet square, weighing thousands of catties, and the soil bags are stacked higher than people, stretching for half a mile on the embankment. Jiang Anyi didn't know why, and saw someone by the gap and said loudly: "Everyone listen to my order, throw stones at the gap, and throw big stones first." ”
At the sound of an order, seven or eight people lifted the boulder onto the rolling log and pushed it into the gap. The flood was so strong that the stones weighing thousands of pounds fell into the water and were washed backwards.
"Don't stop, everyone, keep throwing stones."
Boulders are pushed into the water and gradually pile up to reveal the surface. Jiang Anyi saw that the person who gave the order was wearing an official uniform, and he couldn't distinguish the color from the black, so he should be from the government.
"Throw sacks and small rocks down and plug the gap."
Jiang Anyi rolled up his sleeves and lifted a stone weighing hundreds of pounds and pressed it heavily on a sack. The gap was slowly narrowing, but the water became more and more rapid, and when the gap narrowed to a width of a few feet, the stones were immediately washed away as soon as they were dropped, and it was obvious that it was not possible to fill them hard.
"Put the wooden raft."
With the official's order, someone brought seven or eight wooden rafts nailed together, about five zhang long, Jiang Anyi's eyes lit up, and he knew that the wooden rafts should be placed horizontally at the gap, and everyone won a moment of opportunity, and they could close the gap by throwing stones and filling bags behind the wooden row.
The wood is a thick locust wood, eight nailed side by side and more than two feet wide, and the wet wood is not light. The two ends are tied with ropes, and when they come to the gap, they throw the rope to the opposite side, and both sides work together to carefully pull up the wooden raft and cross it over the gap.
"Put."
Everyone let go of the rope, the wooden raft fell into the water, the water was as fast as a galloping horse, the wooden raft rushed down, the calculated distance fell into the air, and the wooden raft was about to be swept away by the river. The men standing on the west bank shouted in unison, and the muscles in their arms were high, but they could only drag the wooden raft still, trying to pull it back to the sky.
Li Yubo was worried, there was not much wood on the embankment, if this row of wood was washed away, and re-reproduction, I am afraid that the river would tear the gap again, and the stones and soil bags that had just been put in would be useless.
"Hold on, you don't come forward to help." Li Yubo knew that he was two pounds, so he didn't step forward, but yelled at Jiang Anyi behind him. Jiang Anyi threw a hundred-pound stone just now in his eyes, and when he saw Jiang Anyi still standing stupidly watching the excitement at the critical moment, he couldn't help but shout loudly.
Jiang Anyi hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed the extra rope, dantian luck, and opened his voice, "roar", the wooden row was dragged back by him more than half a foot, and the others felt that their hands were light, and they knew that a new force was coming, so they shouted hard in unison, and dragged the washed away wooden raft back.
The wooden raft was set up at the opening, and the other people took the opportunity to throw stones and soil bags into the opening, and a pillar of incense passed, and the gap was finally closed, and some small gaps were no longer hindered.
Everyone stepped up to consolidate the embankment, Li Yubo came to Jiang Anyi's side, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Young man, you have the strength to add more steamed buns for lunch." ”
Jiang Anyi was sweating profusely, thinking that he had fought hard to get back a steamed bun, it was worth it.
At the north gate of Linhua County, a long convoy appeared on the official road, and the sharp-eyed victims saw that there was a word for relief on the fluttering flag, and cheers rang out, and in a moment resounded throughout Linhua County.
(After checking for a long time, I can't find a way for the ancients to deal with the broken embankment, so I shouldn't wait for the water to recede before repairing it.) Please advise if it is inappropriate. )
