Chapter 1823: Xuanzang's Mission (II)
Leaving the station, outside is the original Tianzhu capital Qunu City, but now it is the capital of Tianzhu Road.
A team of guards sent by Wei Chi Baoqi was waiting outside the station, and when they saw Xuanzang, a captain officer in a formal uniform immediately walked up and asked very politely: "May I ask you are Master Xuanzang, right?" ”
"Amitabha Buddha is a poor monk." Xuanzang shouted Buddha and nodded yes.
"We are from the Tianzhu Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, and we are here to pick you up on the orders of the Metropolitan Governor." When the lieutenant saw that someone had received it, he immediately waved his hand, and someone behind him led the carriage up.
Xuanzang's matter has now been spread all over the world, and these big-headed soldiers also admire this old monk who is nearly fifty years old, and they are all very polite.
Xuanzang, whether it was in Tianzhu at the beginning or in Chang'an now, has long been accustomed to this kind of reception, but there is no special performance, and after saying "good", he boarded the carriage.
……
The carriage set off slowly, leaving the station and heading towards the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion in Qunu City, along the way, three hundred guards did their best to surround the carriage and strive not to let Xuanzang be disturbed in any way.
But despite this, Xuanzang still found a slight difference, the population of Qunu City seems to have decreased a lot all of a sudden, and the usually bustling streets are very clean, and there are almost no pedestrians.
Xuanzang couldn't help but worry when he saw such a scene through the car window, and always felt that something was wrong, this was not what a capital should be like at all.
But as the carriage got closer and closer to the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, some Tianzhu people began to appear, but to Xuanzang's surprise, these people were all sitting cross-legged on the ground, with the scorching sun on their heads, with solemn expressions, looking as if they were worshipping something.
"This little general, I don't know what happened in this Qunu City? What are these people doing? The bewildered Xuanzang asked the captain who was accompanying the carriage through the car window.
"Oh, they're petitioning!" The lieutenant replied in a harmonious voice.
"Petition? What would you like? Xuanzang was even more confused, and he really couldn't figure out why these Tianzhu people were petitioning.
The lieutenant showed a strange expression on his face, smacked his lips and said: "They think that we pay too much to those workers who build the railway, and they hope that we will not build the railway." ”
What kind of condition is this?! Xuanzang looked at the captain with wide eyes, as if he couldn't believe it.
It is a matter of course to pay wages for building railways, and if Datang wants to rule Tianzhu well, he will naturally not deduct this money.
But why do these people feel that the money is being given too much? And the most important thing is that not to build the railway, does it have anything to do with the amount of wages? If you think that the salary is too big to pay, it is recommended to pay less, why do you ask for the suspension of railway repairs?
With incomprehension of the strange behavior of the Tianzhu people, Xuanzang took a carriage to the Dadu Governor's Mansion and saw Yu Chi Baoqi who was packing up.
"Well, Master Xuanzang is here, please take a seat, please take a seat!" Yu Chi Baoqi showed great enthusiasm after seeing Xuanzang, and while beckoning people to prepare meals, he pulled him to the sofa next to him and sat down.
Xuanzang's scalp was a little numb by Yu Chi Baoqi's enthusiasm, and after sitting down half-pushed, he asked worriedly: "Governor Yu Chi, what are you ......?"
"Alas, Master, I have been looking forward to you for a long time." Yu Chi Baoqi was a little excited, sat down beside Xuanzang, and held his hand tightly: "If you don't come again, I will send someone to Chang'an to pick you up." ”
Xuanzang was followed by Yu Chi Baoqi, goosebumps straightened all over his body, but he didn't have enough strength, so he couldn't pull out his hand, and finally he could only let him hold it, and asked in a tangled way: "What is it that needs to be solved by the poor monk?" If the poor monk can do it, he will not refuse. ”
"Hahaha, what a certain family is waiting for is the master's words." Yu Chi Baoqi smiled very happily, grabbed Xuanzang's hand, and looked eagerly: "Master, when you came in, you saw those people sitting outside, right?" ”
Xuanzang tried to withdraw his hand again, but it was still fruitless, and he couldn't help but nod when he heard Wei Chi Baoqi mention the Tianzhu people who were sit-in and petitioning outside.
"It's good that the master sees it, these Tianzhu people have all brain problems, and they even say that the train shouldn't appear in this world, so we have to stop the railway, and even so, we have to tear down the repaired ones."
"Isn't that, you say? It's just against the common sense of social progress. ”
"So I'm wondering if you're not influential in Tianzhu, master, why don't you come and have a good chat with them, it's best to persuade them all to go back, so that a certain family can also save some effort, so as not to let your subordinates kill more evil."
Yu Chi Baoqi grinned and said his thoughts, and Xuanzang broke out in a cold sweat on the top of his head when he listened.
There were more than thousands of people sitting outside, could it be that this guy Wei Chi really planned to kill them all? And this is just Qunu City, there is a lot of possibility in other places There are many such people, if you really kill it, I am afraid that I don't know how many people will die.
Thinking of this, Xuanzang shouted a Buddha name: "Amitabha, the Metropolitan Governor must not use the sword lightly, although those outside are Tianzhu people, but Tianzhu has now been attached to the Tang Dynasty, they are no different from the Tang people, and the Metropolitan Governor can't raise the butcher's knife to his own people no matter what." ”
"Yes, I don't want to kill them either, so I asked you for help, Master, I hope you can help, and it is best to persuade them all to go back." Yu Chi Baoqi's big eyes widened, and he looked murderous, and the meaning of his words was that if Xuanzang didn't come forward to help, he would order to kill all those people outside.
The old monk Xuanzang finally understood why Li Chengqian let him come to Tianzhu at this time, and he dared to feel that there was a mess here and he needed to stabilize the situation.
It's just that this Wei Chi Baoqi thinks too highly of him? As a monk, Xuanzang was not arrogant enough to think that he could quell a sit-in petition that spread to the entire territory of Tianzhu.
"Master! Guru! Just when Xuanzang was stunned and felt that he had been fooled, Yu Chi Baoqi's big face appeared in front of his eyes, and he said angrily: "Master, what is your opinion?" Can you say no? If you can't, I'll give the order. ”
"Most of the governors are slow, how about letting the poor monks think about this matter?" Xuanzang straightened his neck back, tried to distance himself from Yu Chi Baoqi, and said with difficulty.
"Well, okay, if you think about it again, I have prepared a few rooms for you here, and you and your noble disciples will stay first, but you must give me an answer early tomorrow morning, otherwise it will be too late!" ()
