The Qiu's workshop covers a large area, with an eight-foot-high wall and ingenious wooden thorns on the top of the wall, and although most of the fugitive apprentices will be caught, it will always add a lot of trouble to the workshop. There were originally more than 30 vicious dogs in the yard that were on patrol at night, but they had been slaughtered and eaten after the workers' riot. Several watchtowers were sparsely built within the walls. Guo Hong lay on top of a sentry tower.

"It's coming, it's coming!" Guo Hong's face was full of surprise, the imperial court was really willing to come over to recruit An, he excitedly waved his hand to the brothers under the sentry tower, and made a "two" gesture, indicating that only two came forward. In less than the middle of the night, these apprentices have learned a lot of skills in being mountain bandits. "If I knew that it was so easy to rebel and be recruited, I wouldn't have to suffer so many crimes." Guo Hong cautiously lowered his body, just now there was a lookout worker who was shot by the city guards outside and became a target.

Guo Hong's gesture made the more than 3,000 people surrounding the sentry tower suddenly stir, and someone murmured: "Amitabha, I hope it is a blue sky lord who comes." "It's finally good, we're not going to rebel and be thieves!" Some people will be suspicious: "Can the court talk so well, isn't it to lie to us to be recruited, and then killed." These apprentices were somewhat distracted, and they were still shouting: "Everyone should be careful, don't be deceived by that dog official!" Others carefully wiped their hands on the placket of their clothes over and over again, for fear that they would find out that he was one of the people who had been killed yesterday. More than a dozen leading workers shouted loudly: "This time, we must seek justice, let those dog slaves kill people to pay for their lives, pay off debts, and send us to Shishan to receive the field!" Many people seemed to remember that there was such a thing, and casually echoed: "That is, fifty acres of land cannot be less, and we are going to Shishan!" ”

"Brother Fu, is the government really recruiting?" Sangozi was still a thin teenager who was not human-shaped, he licked his chapped lips, and held a stick in his hand that had been removed from the loom. The soldiers of the Xia Kingdom were as powerful as wolves, and they were able to cure children crying at night as early as in the Kanto region, and the foremen often used them to scare these apprentices.

"It's hard to say," Fu Qing is burly, standing out among the apprentices, he is a potter in Weizhou, and he escaped when he heard that the craftsmen in Kansai are the most important, and he was deceived into the workshop. He stared at the two officials who were getting closer and closer, and said viciously: "There are no good things in the officials, and they are more vicious than the rich people." He bowed his head to the three dogs and said, "Later, we will act when the opportunity comes, and you will follow me." Fu Qing's hand carefully polished the blade again with a piece of cloth that he had gotten out of nowhere, and there was a foreman and a dog's blood on it.

"Okay," Sangouzi nodded, "Thank you, Brother Fu." He tightened his grip on the wooden stick, which was less than three feet long. There were also seven or eight hundred apprentices gathered around Fu Qing, and the workers who started the incident were divided into more than a dozen large groups, with Fu Qing being the largest, and he killed a foreman with his own hands, and everyone pushed him to be the leader.

Yuan Xingzong looked at the apprentices standing behind the wooden fence at the gate of the workshop as he walked, and he didn't have any fear in his heart, but couldn't help but feel sad. These people are all merchants who settled in the Xia Kingdom, and they are also the people of the Great Xia Kingdom, but all of them are yellow-skinned and thin, unclothed, and most of their eyes are deeply sunken and bloodshot, almost not like humans, but more like a group of livestock struggling on the edge of life and death. There were hundreds of people at the gate, only a few dozen in front, and the people in the back could only stand on tiptoe to see Yuan Xingzong, who was described as clear.

"Is this an official of the imperial court," Bao Qizhang muttered in his heart, "Why don't you have official authority." The leader of the workers standing in front didn't know who spoke first and who spoke later, and looked at each other for a moment, and finally Fu Qing shouted loudly: "The official in front, stop." Only then did the people behind remember that, according to the script, the two armies were fighting each other, and the spies could not be allowed to get close, and they all echoed: "Stop!" "Stop!" One more step, we're going to release the arrows! ”

Yuan Xingzong stopped when he heard this, and raised his arms outstretched, indicating that he had no weapons. Chen Youyi, who was beside him, also did the same, and was silent for a while, seeing that there was no other reaction from the other side, Chen Youyi said loudly: "Everyone, this is Lord Yuan Xingzong, who was ordered by the Relief Agency, to be entrusted by the Xia State Imperial Court to deal with the matter here, and Lord Yuan has come to listen to your complaints." ”

The eyes of the workers were full of doubts and fears, and in the face of Yuan Xingzong's request for them to complain about their grievances, they vomited. It's just that the world is as black as a crow, and it's good that the officials of this court can recruit peace, how can they really listen to the people's grievances, these people are not fools, and the world is difficult and dangerous, and everyone has fallen over.

Guo Hong also climbed down from the watchtower at this time, but no one cared about him, let alone climbed the watchtower to make up for his position. He understood Chen Youyi's Luoyang dialect, pulled the placket of Bao Qizhang's clothes, and asked: "Brother Bao, how big an official is this relief order, he recruited us, does his words work?" ”

Bao Qizhang shook his head and chattered: "I haven't heard of it, it's probably bigger than the county lord." Guo Hong's face showed joy, stared at Yuan Xingzong up and down, and said secretly, this official looks okay, but he doesn't know if his heart is black or not. At this time, an apprentice asked Chen Youyi, "Who is this?" Are we Kanto-like? "Most of these apprentices were deceived by their fellow villagers, but they are still from their hometowns. The apprentices in the back also asked, "Your Excellency is from Kanto, right?" "Your Excellency, you have to be the master for us!" "My lord, you are from Luoyang, right?"

This group of skinny people puffed up the hope of their whole bodies and looked at themselves, Chen Youyi's heart swelled with a sour feeling, and he said with his hands: "This official Chen Heyi is a native of Luoyang, Kanto, and is now an official of the Relief Department. Seeing the suspicious look on the face of the apprentice opposite, he hesitated for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "Under the ancestor, Chen Gong Xiliang, the Taichang Shaoqing, if you can trust it, you will tell all the grievances you have suffered. ”

Chen and Yi's ancestor Xiliang Gong is a Qing official called the same as Bao Gong in Guandong, served as Yin of Luoyang Mansion for many years, and it is rumored that he became a judge of Hades in the Yin Cao Difu after his death, but he has passed away for decades, and even the people of Luoyang went to the tomb of Xiliang Gong to cry out for grievances. In this era, people will not easily recognize their ancestors, and the workers on the opposite side heard that Chen Heyi is the descendant of the famous Chen Qingtian, and suddenly the tears of several Kanto workers fell into the loess, staggered to their knees, and cried: "Lord Qingtian, you must be the master of the grass people and others!" ”

The actions of a few people led more workers to kneel and cry out. In the end, the scene of thousands of people shouting Qingtian together made Chen Youyi, who had never seen this scene, at a loss, and muttered in his mouth: "Everyone, please get up, there is no need for this, there is no need for this." "He's been in Kansai for a long time, and he's not used to kneeling and kneeling.

Chen Youyi looked around for help, but he was even more surprised, only to see Yuan Xingzong pull off his robe, kneel down in the yellow earth, face to face with thousands of ordinary people, rub his hands, and said in a deep voice: "The people are so miserable and distressed, Yuan Mou, as an official of the imperial court, is really ashamed. He looked serious and sincere, not as if he was a fake, so that the workers on the other side were shocked. The people of Kanto have never seen the scene of officials kneeling down to the people, and many people didn't care about shouting Qingtian, and said loudly: "Lord Yuan, please get up." Many of the apprentices were moved to tears, and almost unconsciously murmured: "Qingtian, Qingtian master." ”

This situation made Chen Heyi only feel a sour nose, his knees weakened, and he also knelt down in the loess, his eyes were already full of tears. The thick wooden fence between the imperial court officials and the Kwantung workers, I don't know when, was pushed aside by the workers, they surrounded Yuan Xingzong and Chen and Yituan, everyone scrambled to talk to them, grievances and grievances surrounded the two like a flood that broke the embankment, and later, Chen Youyi could not tell who was talking, so he could only keep bowing his head frequently, and at the same time remember to wave his hand high to the officials and sergeants of the Xia State in the distance, indicating that everything is okay here.

In the distance, Chang'an Ling Cui Qianqing looked at the scene in the distance with a complicated expression, and muttered in his mouth: "Ridiculous, ridiculous." Seeing the apprentices pouring out of the workshop to make Yuan Xingzong and the others unable to get through, a trace of panic flashed in Tan Huikai's eyes of Weinan County, and then turned silent. And farther away, there was a pair of eyes in the darkness that shot out a bitter hatred, staring directly at the workers who were shouting grievances, and even more fiercely staring at Yuan Xingzong who was huddled in the crowd.
