Chapter Twenty-Seven: A Naked Procrastination

"Okay, with the words of Brother Tai, I, Lu Mingshuang, must live up to my mission." Lu Mingshuang glanced at the man gratefully, and it was obvious that many people also believed in Lu Mingshuang's attitude.

"That's right, Lu Mingshuang is the county lord anyway, isn't the so-called gentleman no jokes, let's believe it." The poor scholar in cloth also followed.

At this time, the Empress Dowager who was placed in Youzhou City saw that the situation was not good, and she was anxious, and hurriedly said in an ugly voice: "Everyone must not be deceived by her, if she can take out the grain, grass and charcoal, why not take it out now, I have to wait a few days, who knows what the scene will be in a few days." ”

"It's a blatant delay." The man hid in the crowd and shouted just enough for everyone to hear.

"yes, they're not stalling, are they?" The crowd, which had gradually calmed down, began to make noise again.

The people have always listened to the wind and rain, and they don't have much of their own ideas, just after listening to the words of the man and the scholar, they felt that Lu Mingshuang was right, but now they heard what the man said, and they felt that this was Lu Mingshuang and others' delaying plan.

The public opinion of the people only needs to be guided a little, and it will follow you.

Lu Mingshuang saw that the crowd began to make noise again, and the smile on her face immediately disappeared cleanly.

The expression on Shen Yu's face began to become heavy again, and his eyes were firmly fixed on the direction where the voice came from, but as soon as he saw it, the man was silent.

Was it premeditated? Shen Yu was suspicious.

"Yes, if there is really grain, grass and charcoal, take it out now, so that we can rest assured." From the other direction came the rough voice of a woman with a big shoulder and a round waist.

Lu Mingshuang looked at the woman, her eyes were sharp, she also knew the woman, it was the charcoal business in Youzhou City.

The woman also felt Lu Mingshuang's cold gaze, and she consciously hid in a crowded place, but she really looked strong in a group of poor people, so no matter how much she hid, it was only in vain.

When Lu Mingshuang saw this, a sneer tugged at the corner of his mouth. What else I don't understand now, this civil unrest is only afraid that it will be inseparable from the rice merchants and charcoal merchants in Youzhou City.

If Lu Mingshuang can't get enough grain, grass and charcoal, when the time comes, they can sell the grain and charcoal they have stored at a high price and do a profitable job.

"That's right, county lord, or you can let us take a look at the grain, grass and charcoal fire stored in Youzhou City, and calm the hearts of our people." It was still the old man, and he looked at Lu Mingshuang with eager eyes.

Lu Mingshuang was softly looked at by the old man's trusting gaze, but at the same time, she felt cold because of the people who didn't trust her.

"First of all, I, Lu Mingshuang, am here to thank everyone for their trust, now, there is indeed not enough charcoal in the library of Youzhou City." Lu Mingshuang cleared her throat and told the truth.

"Ah, no, wasn't that a lie?" The people who were still a little shaken are all complaining at the moment.

"Hahaha, I'll just say, she must have lied to us." The empress dowager who was placed in Youzhou City laughed loudly.

At this time, he didn't dodge either, this is what he wanted.

"Liar, what the hell, it's still deceiving people at this time." Some of the raging people began to get angry again, and they wanted to start doing it again.

"Protect the county lord." Shen Yu's eyes lit up and he spoke.

The guards around him immediately surrounded Lu Mingshuang in the middle and protected him.

"Everyone listens to me, the Holy Lord doesn't send troops to save us today, it's all because of the Lu family, it's all because of Lu Li." Na Xiaozuo struck while the iron was hot, mobilized the masses and began to attack Lu Mingshuang's family.

"Yes, that's it, we arrested Lu Mingshuang and went to Beijing to ask for a reward." There were already people in the crowd who were eager to try it.

"I'll see who dares to move!" Lu Mingshuang pushed away the guards around her and stood at the front.

Lu Mingshuang's tone was too cold and hard, which frightened the fine crops and grain and grass in the crowd, and the charcoal merchants trembled.

The people don't fight with the officials, they are just small businessmen, and they are still afraid of these officers and soldiers in the end.

"Look, these so-called officials only know how to threaten us with force, and we all fight with them." I don't know who shouted in the crowd, and the crowd began to boil again.

"Who's trying to move?" Seeing that the situation was deliberately guided by someone, Lu Mingshuang's heart was cold, and he immediately pulled out the sword on Shen Yu's waist, his eyes were so cold that he could be icy.

Sure enough, seeing Lu Mingshuang move his sword, the people suddenly all quieted down. One by one, he couldn't stop hiding behind his back, for fear that Lu Mingshuang's sword would fall in front of his eyes.

There are many people, but most of them are usually small people who do serious things. Where have I seen these battles, using swords and guns, but they will kill people.

"Don't worry, I won't hurt innocent people, but if there are any more people among you who fan the flames and have bad intentions, don't blame me The sword in Lu Mingshuang's hand doesn't have eyes." Lu Mingshuang's tone was stern, and his gaze swept firmly over those who had fanned the flames just now.

"We were forced to do this, there is no food, grass and charcoal, how can we survive this winter? Isn't it possible to sit back and wait for death? Although a peasant-like person was afraid of the sword in Lu Mingshuang's hand, he still said what he wanted to say.

He was right, if Youzhou City didn't have enough grain, grass and charcoal, it would be nonsense.

Lu Mingshuang's eyes moved, and his gaze looked firmly at the person who spoke.

"I hereby swear that if the problem of grain, grass and charcoal fire for the people of Youzhou cannot be solved within ten days, I, Lu Mingshuang, will use the sword in my hand to apologize on the spot!" Lu Mingshuang knew that if he didn't come up with anything shocking, he was afraid that this matter would not be so easy to solve.

Sure enough, as soon as Lu Mingshuang's words came out, the direction of public opinion of the people began to turn again.

"Believe them once, for ten days, and since she has sworn a poisonous oath, we will believe her again." The people looked at each other and talked to each other.

"County Lord, no." Shen Yu opened his eyes full of coldness, which were full of disapproval.

As far as the current situation in Youzhou City is concerned, how easy is it to gather enough grain, grass and charcoal fire for the entire people of Youzhou City to survive the winter in just ten days?

Shen Yu didn't want Lu Mingshuang to put himself in danger.

Lu Mingshuang smiled at Shen Yu comfortingly.

"Everyone will give me another ten days, and I will definitely give you an explanation when the time comes." Lu Mingshuang looked determined.

"Okay, let's believe you again." The people said in unison.

The matter of Lu Mingshuang making a military order in front of everyone spread throughout Youzhou City within a moment, and the people were panicked and anxious, but they also hoped that she would be able to do what she said.

How bad can the common people be, they just want to be able to live and work in peace.
