Chapter 487: The Man Who Extinguished the Flame

Anger and popular mutiny are always the last things that officials want to see, and no ruler in his right mind will allow such a thing to happen.

In many cases, when there is a popular mutiny and the situation is out of control, then all the officials involved will be held accountable, but there is a very subtle degree in this.

Before reaching the tipping point, the only means for the local officials is intimidation, and once the tipping point is reached and the civil revolt expands to a certain scale, then the unlucky ones must be the local officials, and the royal family will use thunderous means to clean up the local officials to make the people angry.

However, if the popular rebellion continues to expand to the point of being out of control, then the official family will raise the butcher's knife, and at this time, the popular rebellion is no longer called a civil uprising, but a rebellion.

Historically, there have been many people who have used popular uprisings to make trouble, and many people have abandoned them after they have used them, and almost all of the rebels who rebelled in the historical records are like this.

Although Fang Zhen aroused the anger of the people around him, he would definitely not let the incident here rise to the level of civil revolt, otherwise he could pat his ass and leave, but those people who lived near the capital would have to suffer.

Therefore, when the centurion Ke Aoda thought that Fang Zhen was going to provoke a civil uprising, Fang Zhen raised his hand and shouted to stop the anger of the people, and said: "Fellow villagers, we still believe that most of the official families are good, they protect the country and our homeland, and prevent us from being invaded by other countries and bandits and bandits, we believe in the official family, and I believe that they will give us justice, don't you say?"

None of the honest people like to make trouble, their anger is ignited by Fang Zhen, and they are also very easily guided by Fang Zhen, and when they hear Fang Zhen's words, the people are quiet again, and look directly at the centurion Ke Aoda.

For the first time, Ke Aoda, a man who had fought on the battlefield, found himself being stared at by a group of unarmed civilians to the point of hair all over his body.

"Sir, Di Zhi County is already on his way here!" a confidant soldier beside Ke Aoda stepped forward and whispered in a low voice.

Ke Aoda breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he really didn't know how to deal with the matter in front of him, so just now before he came over, he called his own soldiers to inform the magistrate, and then the trouble would be handed over to the magistrate.

"Fang Zhen, how far are you going to make trouble? Don't cross the line, otherwise it will bring trouble to the people!" Jin Ting also transmitted a message to Fang Zhen at this time.

Fang Zhen replied in a voice: "Don't worry, I just want to force the person in charge out, and when the time comes, this city guard will take all the black cauldrons on their backs, and no people will be implicated!"

Jin Ting immediately understood what Fang Zhen meant, and said, "Are you planning to use that? Didn't you want to use that thing as a backup before?"

"I've changed my plan now, maybe it's better for us to be a little more high-profile, it's not peaceful in the capital now!" Fang Zhen was actually quite helpless, although he didn't know what was going on in the capital, but judging from the current situation, it was not a good thing.

In such a situation, it may not be good to keep a low profile, so it is better to raise the profile a little.

Jin Ting heard Fang Zhen say this, so she didn't say anything more.

The speed at which the magistrate came was very fast, and it was less than a tea time, so it is conceivable that the capital is now in a state of full strength.

The magistrate came on horseback, and he was followed by two head catchers who were also riding horses.

Fang Zhen noticed that when this magistrate appeared, the surrounding people showed relaxed expressions, and it was obvious that this magistrate was quite popular.

"What the hell is going on?" Di Zhixian stopped his horse in front of Fang Zhen and his party, looking at the situation in front of him a little dazed.

A city guard was lying on the ground half dead, his whole face was not swollen but blood-red, and looking at the broken teeth around him, it was obvious that he had been beaten like this.

The city guards who followed this team carried a single knife in their hands one by one, but none of them raised the knife.

A little outer, more than fifty regular troops formed a semicircle, and a dozen crossbowmen raised their crossbows and aimed them at a man.

Behind this man was a young woman in a stunning men's attire, and beyond that was a crowd of ordinary people.

This situation makes Dizhi County a little unclear, so is this a rebellion? Or is it a mutiny? If someone is in rebellion, why don't the regular army take action? If there is a mutiny, why is there no movement at all?

"Tell the county lord, this is how it is!" Fang Zhen took the initiative to explain the situation, of course, with his eloquence, he naturally said that he was extremely aggrieved, and how shameless and tyrannical that team leader was.

Although the actual situation was similar, what came out of Fang Zhen's mouth made people feel the urge to kill the city guard.

Di Zhixian is also the first time to see such a well-spoken person, even if he knows that Fang Zhen has added oil and vinegar, he can't afford to be angry, but he hates that team rate.

"Benzhi County is already anxious about the affairs of the heavenly family, you are still here to loot the people's fat and people's ointment, if you just want to simply collect a little people's fat and people's ointment, you actually rob the people's daughters in broad daylight? Are you a city guard or a bandit?"

Di Zhixian said quickly to the two arresters around him: "Immediately escort this guy to the prison, and the official will interrogate this shameless man after that!"

One of the catchers lifted the team leader and locked it, and one of them lifted it up at a certain position on the neck of the team leader, and the other party's head drooped down, looking like he was willing to admit his guilt.

The surrounding people immediately cheered, some shouted the Qingtian Lord of Dizhi County, and some said that Fang Zhen asked for the people's life, which shows that this team has already become a scourge in the hearts of the people, and everyone is eager for this guy to die as far as he can.

After Di Zhixian asked the catcher to take the team leader away, he turned his eyes to Fang Zhen's body and said: "Now the official has to ask you what's going on, but before that, you have to wait for the official, the official has to dredge this place, you wait here!"

There was an official attitude in his tone, but it was not annoying, so Fang Zhen smiled and nodded and stepped aside.

Ke Aoda looked at Di Zhixian, as if to ask for the latter's opinion, Di Zhixian waved his hand and said, "Captain Ke collect the troops, I don't think this Fang Bingwen is a person who can make trouble!"

This is actually a temptation for Di Zhi County, Ke Aoda knew it, so he left two soldiers to follow Di Zhi County to deal with the situation, while he took the others back to their original positions, they also need to be equipped in case anyone who might rush through the pass, it is not a wise move to waste time here.

"Scared me to death, Master Fang, who are you?"
