Longquan County, now surrounded by the people, is impassable, looking at the number, it is estimated that there can be more than 3,000 people. With so many people, it is not a moment to raze the county government, and these people are just loud and scolding, wanting the county master to come out.

When the people in the county government saw this momentum, who dared to come out, they couldn't keep their impulses and started to beat them, and they were not allowed to be beaten half to death.

"Call the county master to come out!" "Tell him to get out of here!" "We can't eat, and he imposes taxes on us so that we can't live!" "Hurry up and give us an explanation!" ……

The people kept shouting, Yue Su led the men and horses all the way into the city, and when they arrived at the yamen, they couldn't help but feel sad when they saw such a scene. He still has some knowledge of history, the reason why the Ming Dynasty fell was because Li Zicheng led tens of thousands of rogues to Yanjing, why did he gather so many people, and it was not because the people couldn't eat that they rebelled.

Yue Su was born in a carpenter family in this life, he knows his parents, he knows the people in the village, everyone does not want to have enough food and clothing, even if they have a full mouth, they can be satisfied. Being able to force the people into rebellion means that this minimum guarantee is no longer available.

"The people of Longquan are quiet! The prefect is here! When the men and horses were still twenty paces away from the people, Yue Su's servants shouted loudly.

Many people have already seen Yue Su's men and horses coming, and when they saw that there were soldiers in uniforms and soldiers in their clothes, they were all waiting for battle, and those who had guys in their hands were all raised. However, this weapon is really bad, mostly flat poles, kitchen knives, and even rolling pins.

"What's wrong with the prefect, it's not the official to protect each other!" "That's it! If you don't let us live, we won't let you be good! ”…… These people seemed to see that Yue Su didn't have many people, and their spirits immediately lifted.

Yue Su was not flustered, and shouted loudly: "Fellow villagers, this mansion is not here to embarrass you, let alone to protect Longquan County. The purpose of this government is to resolve the conflict! ”

"How are you going to defuse it?" Listening to Yue Su's words, the crowd didn't know who shouted.

Then there were people who shouted, "Yes, how are you going to resolve it?" ”……

"Don't be loud, this government has its own way of dealing with it, which of you is the leader, stand up and tell this government, what is the reason for attacking the county government? It can be known that the rebellion is to exterminate the clan, and the imperial army is now outside the city, and it only takes an order to wipe out all of you. But this government knows that you may be forced to be helpless, there is a reason for the incident, and the government will deal with it properly and not pursue it more! ”

Yue Su knew that at this time, it could neither be too soft nor too hard. If it is too soft, it will encourage the arrogance of the other party, and if it is too hard, it will also force the other party to take risks. His words were enough to intimidate, and they didn't stiffen the situation, which was just right. After all, these people have not really rushed into the county government to kill officials and rebel, which shows that it is not irretrievable.

Sure enough, after Yue Su finished saying this, someone among the people shouted, "Everyone be quiet first, and I'll listen to what this adult has to say." If he is the county master, even if he has thousands of troops, we will fight with him! Anyway, I can't live horizontally and vertically! ”

When the words settled, a tall young man came out and stopped when he was still five steps away from Yue Su. The people behind are still waiting to see what the prefect will say and discuss what the result will be.

Yue Su looked at the young man in front of him, and saw that he had thick eyebrows and big eyes, a good appearance, slightly dark skin, and a burly figure, and couldn't help but secretly praise himself that he was a good man. "This brother, I don't know what your name is?"

"My name is Li Haoran! If you have anything to say, just say it! The young man's tone was not respectful, but as his name suggested, his voice was indeed a little imposing.

"This government wants to know, why do you have to besiege the county government?"

"Adults don't know, in the past month, Longquan County has increased a variety of harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and we and other small people can barely eat and clothe in normal times, how can they afford such heavy taxes. Seeing that he couldn't survive, he had no choice but to besiege the county government, and I wanted to ask the county commander to give us an explanation......" Li Haoran talked eloquently, and the content described was roughly the same as that errand officer.

Yue Su nodded and said, "Then what do you want Longquan County to give you a saying?" ”

"I can't wait for anything else, I just want to have a bowl of rice to eat, and now the grain and rice at home have been forcibly expropriated, and I don't know how to live! What do you think you should do, my lord? Li Haoran finally asked Yue Su about it.

"There is no problem, this matter will be solved by the government, and the government will return as much as Longquan County has received from you. Not only that, but the government will also make his crimes angry with the people. What do you think of this? Yue Su was calm and authentic.

"It's the best, if you can do that, I'll disperse immediately." Li Haoran shouted loudly.

"Your siege of the county government is a violation of the law of the country after all, and the government will seek justice for you, so you have to give an explanation to the government, right?" After Yue Su finished speaking, he stared at Li Haoran tightly.

"I wonder what the adults want to explain?"

"It's very simple, whoever is the leader of this trouble, just go with this mansion to the governor's yamen! If you don't give such an explanation to this government, even if you want to disperse, you can't disperse! At the end, Yue Su's voice became stern.

The people gathered to attack the county government, even if there was a reason and they were forced to be helpless, it was a violation of the king's law. Yue Su knew that if he didn't kill the leader who made trouble, and said that if there was a slight disturbance in the future, you would rise up and rebel, wouldn't it be a country or a country.

Hearing Yue Su's words, the people on the other side stopped doing it, and someone immediately shouted, "It is not the officials who protect each other, they always want to take advantage of our people, we will fight with them!" "That's right! They don't want us to live, it's a big deal, what's the big deal! "Eighteen years later, I'm still a good man!" ……

Seeing the surging emotions of the group, Jin Chan stepped forward, drew his waist knife, and protected it in front of Yue Su, and the other officers and soldiers saw Jin Chan showing his guy, and immediately showed his weapon. After all, Yue Su's subordinates are regular troops, although there are few people, but the equipment is there, and they still don't pay attention to some grass people with kitchen knives and rolling pins.

As soon as Yue Su opened his formation, the people on the opposite side immediately became noisy, and it turned out that the rabble without training just couldn't do it.

Yue Su waved his hand and said loudly: "Li Haoran, this government has already agreed to your conditions, are you willing to agree to this government's conditions?" If you are greedy for life and afraid of death, then it is okay, this mansion will level you together! ”

Li Haoran looked back at the people, and his heart was quite unbearable. Seeing that the other party has no fear, I think that there must be reinforcements outside the city, once they start, how can these ordinary people be able to defeat the regular army with a long ** halberd, and in the end they are not all slaughtered.

He hesitated for a moment, and finally turned his heart sideways and said, "This lord, if what you just said is true, I am willing to go with you!" But before I go with you, you must fulfill your promise! ”

"Good! This house promises you! Yue Su was impassioned and said loudly: "Let the people take a hundred steps back, this government wants to take Longquan County first, and give you an explanation!" ”

"Okay, then the little people will wait and see!" Li Haoran was not afraid at all, and went toe-to-toe with Yue Su. "Let's take a hundred steps back, take a look at how this adult captured the county master, and give us an explanation!"

Should I say it or not, his words really worked, and the people, driven by him, retreated one after another and made way to the gate of the county government.

Yue Su stepped forward, led the people to the gate of the county government, and shouted: "Listen, the people inside, this official is Yue Su, the prefect of Tongren, open the door immediately!" ”

Yue Su's voice settled, and after a while, he poked his head out of the courtyard wall, looked down, and saw that there were indeed officers and soldiers coming, the nervous look on his face immediately disappeared, and shouted: "Hurry up and open the door, our reinforcements are coming!" ”

Soon, the gate of the county government opened, and Jin Chan and Tie Qiu led the officials to pour in first, Yue Su followed, and more than 200 soldiers stood guard outside the door.

After entering the county office, Yue Su went straight to the lobby, but he didn't see the shadow of the Longquan County Order, pointed to a Longquan County official and asked, "Where is your family?" ”

"My lord...... ...... in the back house," the official replied in a whisper.

He was down-to-earth, his eyebrows were burning, and he was still lying on his stomach in the back house. Lead the way! Yue Su said loudly.

"Yes, yes......" The errand officer still has the eyesight, and when he saw Yue Su's official uniform, he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly led the way.

Yue Su followed closely behind with Jin Chan, Tie Qiu and other messengers, until he came to the county government's back house, entered the door of the house, and saw no one, the messenger who led the way went straight to the main house, and shouted loudly: "My lord, my lord, our reinforcements have arrived, and it is the prefect of Tongren Mansion who personally brought the troops......

The messenger shouted several times in a row, but there was no movement in the main room, and the door at the other end of the firewood room suddenly opened, and out came a guy wearing a crooked black veil and a seven-grade robe, this guy's robe was full of dust and some sawdust, and he must have hidden it in the pyre.

Yue Su glanced at him, the Longquan County Commander was in his forties, wide and fat, but his face was a little panicked. Yue Su secretly said in his heart: "What a useless thing! ”

"You're Longquan County?"

"Xiaguan Longquan County ordered Pang Bai to see my lord." Zhixian Pang Bai said respectfully.

"How did you govern the place, and the people of Longquan actually gathered to make trouble and besiege the county government, don't you want to do it?" Yue Su scolded in an unkind tone.

"Your Excellency, as you know, the governor's yamen has an order for the prefectures to raise 30,000 taels of silver and 30,000 stones of grain. After receiving the order, Shiqian Prefecture apportioned it to all counties under its rule, and each county raised 8,000 taels of silver and 8,000 stone of grain. How can there be so much silver and grain in our county's Yafan Treasury, so I can only go to the people to levy it, but those Diao people are reluctant to take out a little bit from their homes, and they openly rebel. Fortunately, the adults came in time, otherwise they would have smashed the county government and killed the court officials......"

"Hehehehe......" Yue Su sneered and said, "Pang County Order, what is the little bit you said?" Don't you care about their life or death, take the opportunity to fill your own pockets, and don't even leave the next day's rations! Even if Longquan County is not under the rule of this government, but you provoke a civil uprising, and this government has the right to manage it. Someone! Get him to me first! ”
