220 Crowds

……

In the early morning of the second day, the demonstrators, who had been waiting at the city gates and on the streets all night, finally waited for the order from the Military Governor's Office. m.

But seeing a few soldiers carrying a bucket of paste and notices with a cold expression, posted on several conspicuous walls, it immediately attracted everyone to watch.

Several literate people among the people read the above to the surrounding crowd:

"The Military Governor's Office decrees that all of you gather in the neighborhood of the people, and from the moment you see the notice until noon, you will immediately return to your home, and you must no longer linger on the street to obstruct the tolerance of military affairs, otherwise you will be cleared according to the relevant regulations of the military management! In addition, those who dare to cross the boundaries of the city gate without permission are half a step! All of them will be regarded as rebels against the party and executed on the spot! The Governor advises everyone, don't say anything unexpected! ”

The solemn and cold atmosphere on the notice spread throughout the hearts of the surrounding onlookers, especially the sentence "Don't say it in advance" made them even more frightened.

They never expected that after waiting for a full night, the military governor not only did not compromise, but issued a notice to warn everyone to disperse the protesters immediately, otherwise there would be a bloody disaster.

After seeing the content of the notice, many people have begun to retreat, thinking that it is safer to go home honestly now, and have long heard that this Liu Ce can sit in the position of military governor as a Shu clan, but it is not a slippery horse, all of them are piled up by thousands of lives, in case he is annoyed, he really starts to clear the field as the notice says, and the consequences are unimaginable.

In the midst of the noise, many people began to rush to their homes timidly, wanting to leave the place as soon as possible, so as not to be affected and lose their lives.

"Everyone, listen to the old man."

Seeing that the crowd was about to disperse, a school teacher about forty years old who was hired by the Ning family to help prevent Liu Ce from exercising military management immediately stood on the high platform and shouted loudly to the crowd that was about to disperse.

"If the Governor really dares to do this, he is the enemy of the whole Zhou and the whole world, what is wrong with you here? Don't you just want to meet your family to relieve the pain of lovesickness, and want to release those innocent children of the scholar family to beg for food, so as not to lose their livelihood?

This is a common human feeling and a natural and righteous act, why should the military governor oppose it? Everyone supports the Governor, but after all, the Governor is young and inevitably lacks consideration in handling things.

We should put things in order and let the military governor understand his mistakes in time, so please be sure to persevere and don't give up, this division will never believe that the military governor's mansion really dares to do something to us defenseless people! ”

When everyone heard the teacher's words, they suddenly felt very reasonable, and immediately began to gather again, but there were also different voices in the crowd.

"Master Qin, it seems that the military governor placed people outside the city to prevent the spread of the epidemic, and for everyone's safety, I think it is better to retreat according to the instructions of the military governor's mansion, lest it be too late to regret it when you get it."

"Nonsense! The plague is God's punishment for us, but can man stop it? Why do you mean by speaking so for the Governor's Office? ”

When Qin Shi heard those words against him, he immediately yelled, as a hardcore anti-Liu faction, he was strongly opposed to everything about Liu Ce.

Last year, Liu Ce of Heyang Tower intimidated and beat Lu Shi, who was famous in the teacher world, and he had completely drawn a line between himself and him, especially when he learned that Liu Ce had opened a school in Hanling and invited the students of Heyang Tower to teach him, he even scolded him for his ill intentions.

Later, when he learned about the courses offered by the school, and the co-education of men and women, he directly denounced it as heresy in public, saying that women are virtuous if they are not talented, and if women are all higher than men, wouldn't they put the cart before the horse, yin and yang? And those courses are all heresies and heretics, and they can't be put on the table, and they will only mislead people's children.

But he only ignored the fact that the free admission of the academy benefited many poor people, of course, his mouth was on him, how could he really pick out the dissatisfaction from all directions, just one sentence that the common people could be in the same house with the scholar clan was enough to choke people to death, and it was undoubtedly impossible to expect this kind of person to have a good impression of Liu Ce.

The people who spoke fairly couldn't help but muttered in a low voice when they saw Master Qin talking about themselves like this: "I, I don't mean anything else, it's just that the military governor is treating us for illness and disaster relief, and he doesn't embarrass us, isn't it too much for us to make trouble for him like this?" ”

Qin Shi pointed at him and shouted: "I see that you are clearly a fine work sent by the military governor to disturb the morale of our people, everyone quickly tie him up, don't let him continue to demagogue......"

With Master Qin's roar, the surrounding people who had been incited to lose their minds all pressed the "fine work" of several different voices to the ground, punched and kicked, and kicked them screaming.

Pity these people who spoke their hearts endured the severe pain coming from all over their bodies, kept crying and begging for mercy, and even two people were interrupted alive.

Seeing this, Master Qin said triumphantly to everyone: "Now, let's go outside the city together, this division wants to see if the military governor really dares to attack us, why should the people of Dingzhou let them take care of Jizhou!" Come with me! ”

"Master Qin is right, let's go, Lao Tzu wants to see if his military governor really dares to slaughter the people!"

"Liu Ce, you return my wife and children, I want to see my wife and children!"

"Fuck it, a group of Jizhou kings who have been dyed on the top of Hu Nu's head for more than ten years dare to take care of our Dingzhou masters, go!"

"What bullshit Liu Ce, what military governor? It's just a beggar who sells his art along the street to survive, and I don't know what shit luck took to occupy the position of the former military governor and ride on our heads to shit and pee? I just don't accept him......"

"Let Liu Ce go back and eat, we are not afraid of him, if we have the courage, we will poke a few holes in the old lady's body, and if you don't have the guts, we will return my man's ......"

Under the instigation of Qin Shi and others, people from all walks of life gradually gathered together into a huge team of more than 40,000 people, shouting slogans and marching towards the city gate.

At the same time, the general in charge of guarding the boundary of the city gate today is Zhang Zhaotong, who had just arrived on the outskirts of Xingyang City with Chu Zijun last night, and his 5,000 Youzhou soldiers.

Zhang Zhaotong was in a very unhappy mood at this moment, of course, it was not because he came last night and immediately carried out such a difficult task today, but because he was stimulated by Chu Zijun.

However, it is not that he and Chu Zijun have had a holiday, on the contrary, along the way, Chu Zijun talks elegantly and knows how to use soldiers, and he does not look at each other differently because he is a foreign soldier, and the two have a good conversation along the way.

The reason why he was angry was because when he learned that Chu Zijun had gone from a poor commoner in just two years, not only as a confidant of the military governor, but also because his family background was much thicker than that of his own flag regiment commander, he alone had more than 400 acres of fertile land in Jizhou, and there were three or four sets of real estate, and the amount of silver saved seemed to be a lot according to his inquiry.

This makes Zhang Zhaotong unacceptable, how much money has he earned after deducting military salaries and embezzling and accepting bribes for so many years? People have left themselves behind in two years, and they are also in decline, how can they not even compare with a common man?

After inquiring carefully, he was even more shocked, not only Chu Zijun, as long as he was an official in the Jingwei camp, his income was not low, even those ordinary soldiers were like this, none of them were poor.

Combined with the above, Zhang Zhaotong only felt that his heart was envious, jealous and hateful, he had been busy for so many years, and now corruption and deduction of military salaries are absolutely forbidden in Liu Ce's army, if you want to change the current situation, you have to find a way to enter Liu Ce's core team and hold on to this thigh, but what should I do?

Just when Zhang Zhaotong was worried about this, the sea of people in the city gradually approached the boundary of the city gate, and there were many voices of abuse of Liu Ce.

Zhang Zhaotong's eyes lit up, and he shouted: "This group of Diao people is so bold that they dare to openly disobey the notice of the Military Governor's Mansion posted and insist on going against the Military Governor? Very good, the whole army obeys the order, holds the spear on guard, and dares to cross the line! Poke me through, life or death! ”
