Chapter 122: Support

Looking at the crowd of people in the restaurant, the atmosphere upstairs was tense, these scholars were also frequent customers of the restaurant, and they saw that the shopkeeper of the restaurant was not good, but he didn't care, he didn't take him seriously, the party promoter stepped forward and said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Hu, there is nothing to do, just some conflicts in words, please help talk and make peace!" ”

"Say a fart, let the prince be humiliated in my restaurant, I have no shame to see the villagers and elders of the villages again, today I can only die with him, and apologize to the prince with death!" The shopkeeper's face was pale, and he shouted loudly, pushed away the persuasive man and pounced on him, and rushed to the window with his arms in his arms, and was about to jump out of the window with his arms around him.

"Stop him!" Zhao Ta was taken aback, why is the shopkeeper's temper so big, he will die if he says he will die! Everyone was also frightened, and only reacted when they heard Zhao Ta's shout, grabbed him with all hands and feet, and dragged the shopkeeper back, which is also the fat of the shopkeeper, and the window opening action was a little slower, otherwise he would really jump down with someone.

"Why are you stopping me, I don't have the face to live anymore...", the shopkeeper was pulled back, twisted his body to break free from the pull of the crowd and cried.

"Shopkeeper Hu, why do you do this? Are you afraid of his revenge, and I will call the shots for you! The initiator thought that the shopkeeper was afraid that he would jump off the building because the prince would suffer a loss here, so he hurriedly comforted him.

The Song Dynasty implemented the basic national policy of 'ruling the world with scholars', and had an oath not to kill scholars, so the status of scholars was greatly improved, and their fate was also closely related to the royal family, so scholars and doctors embodied the Confucian spirit of 'governing the country and leveling the world' more than ever before, and they actively wrote and said things, judged history, participated in politics, and had a strong sense of ownership, that is, they did not regard themselves as outsiders. Although the premise of the monarchy was still at that time, the scholars and bureaucrats all regarded themselves as the bearers of the safety of the world. Even when they were frustrated and frustrated, they resigned from Beijing and still did not forget their duties, saying that 'seeking the nation on one side and dividing the country is worried about thousands of miles', so they were not afraid of Zhao Ta, the prince, but were aroused and stood up to reason with him on the merits!

"You... You! The shopkeeper was obviously 'moved', his face was purple with excitement, his head was sweating, he dragged him over, stretched out his hand and gratefully gave him a 'full house', and then knelt at the feet of Zhao Ta and said: "Lord Wang, your kindness to the little one is as deep as the sea, but today you let them be humiliated by them here, I can't stand you, if you don't let the little one die, then I can only apologize for it!" Seeing this, Zhao Ta saw this, and pushed down his right hand holding the knife, but he still didn't have time, he still chopped off his left little finger.

"Lao Hu, why are you like this!" Zhao Ta sighed and said, he didn't expect this shopkeeper to be so strong and do such an extreme thing.

"Lord Wang, the little one can't stand you!" The shopkeeper kowtowed to Zhao Ta again, then stood up and pointed a knife at the group of scholars and shouted: "My restaurant will no longer do your business from now on, and you are not allowed to take any further steps, otherwise don't blame me for being rude!" ”

"Well, let me say what's good about you?" Zhao Ta shook his head helplessly, tore off a piece of cloth from the placket of his shirt and wrapped his hand, "Hurry up and send him to the mansion and let the imperial doctor treat him!" He said to a guy at a restaurant.

"What are you shopkeepers doing like this?" He Qufei frowned and asked Xiao Erdao, who was serving them just now.

"Guest officer, don't you know, our shopkeeper only came here three years ago, he used to open a restaurant, but because of a fire burned down the house, he was left here to carry work on the dock to eat, but where did he do this, the days did not last long, he was tired, the family was about to starve to death, our prince was the most pity for the poor and weak, and after learning about it, he took their family to the house and treated him. The prince heard that he had opened a restaurant, so he handed over this restaurant to him to take care of, this restaurant should be everything, and the capital is all from the house, but he only receives 30% of the profit every year. The prince saved his family, can the shopkeeper not repay him with death? Xiao Er angrily explained what happened.

"I see!" He Qufei nodded thoughtfully.

"Aren't you going to go, are you going to wait for us to do it?" The proprietress did not follow her husband to heal her injuries, but endured her grief and stuck to her post, she pointed to the crowd and shouted. ,

"With us speaking up for you, even if he is a prince and noble, he will not escape justice, why should my sister-in-law treat us like this?" These scholars are proud of themselves and high, and they have to pay attention to a backbone, although they have never visited the neighbors who live in the palace here, of course, they will not make friends with those cloth clothes, but they form an independent small circle, and they do not understand the 'market' here, and take it for granted that Zhao Ta, the prince, must be tyrannical here, oppressing the good, and the people dare not speak out, so they will make a fuss about cutting off their hands and asking for guilt, so he glanced at Zhao Ta and said with his chest straight.

"Fart, can you scold the prince?" A vendor who squeezed upstairs first picked up a leftover egg and smashed it, "You say he is a Huangkou child, I don't know how thick the road is, but this little prince, who paid for it, led us to build bridges and pave roads, dig ditches and dams, build wharves, start workshops, and fund schools, how much money was spent, how much effort was made, and this is what we have today." You people claim to be full of poetry and books, and you are sensible, but what great things have you done, and you are not in vain to take the country's fortunes, relying on the support of our small people, hiding in our peaceful land to eat, drink and have fun. ”

"Brother Hong said well, these people don't know the height of the sky, and they dare to scold the prince in front of us, isn't this just a slap in our face, and we must make them look good today!" The hawker's words were immediately echoed by everyone, and for a moment the crowd was enthusiastic and condemned these guys.

"Second master, don't be angry with these cats and dogs, we all remember your goodness, they dare to scold you, we are not finished with them, you are angry!" An old lady handed Zhao Ta a string of sugar gourds to comfort him and said, "Look at your virtues, your eyes are looking at the sky, after reading for a few days, you will be amazing, you can't lift your hands, you can't pick your shoulders, you can read a few sour poems, you can eat as food, that is, our second master is kind-hearted, take you here, according to me, I will drive you out of the city as soon as possible, and let the children learn badly with you!" Not to be outdone, the old lady pointed at them and counted them.

These scholars are fools at this time and understand that this little prince is by no means what they think, but on the contrary, he is deeply loved by the people on this land and water, knowing that he has committed public anger and wants to leave the crowd, but it is too late.

"Whoever hits the prince, I'll pinch out his!" At this time, a butcher rushed up with a pig-killing knife, and before the person could come up, the voice came first.

"There's blood here, and they've wounded the prince..."

"Kill him, avenge the prince, don't let them run!"

"Hurry up and call the doctor, it's important to save the prince first..."

Someone saw the blood dripping on the ground by the shopkeeper, shouted in surprise, another group of people came, they didn't know what was happening in front of the road, some listened to the first half of the sentence, some only heard the second half of the sentence, all of a sudden mess, all squeezed into the restaurant.

"Teacher, what do you think?" Gao Pet hugged He Qufei and squeezed out of the crowd, retreated to the third floor, looked outside and said.

"Alas, I didn't expect to cause such a big trouble, but it can also be seen that these two princes are not simple characters, I have also governed one side, built water conservancy, relieved the victims, and won some official reputation, but only now do I know what it means to be loved by all the people!" He Qufei said with emotion, those people just heard that the prince was humiliated, so they did not hesitate to repay him with death, what does it take to do this? He Qufei became more interested in Zhao Ta.

Zhao Xin and Zhao Yong tightly protected the prince from left to right, and the outer circle was surrounded by more people, protecting them, as if they were afraid that those few powerless guys would hurt the prince again. Zhao Ta looked at everyone, his eyes were wet, but his heart was full of guilt, he rejuvenated agriculture and industry, developed the economy, helped the poor, and showed kindness to others, how could he not use them to develop his own power, consolidate his own territory, win the hearts of the people, and work hard for his future, he gave these simple people money and happiness, but asked them to exchange their lives for one day!

"Are you really a good person, and is it really meaningful to do all this yourself?" Zhao Ta was confused, thinking hard in the noise, and fell into the pit he dug for himself and couldn't extricate himself.

……

"Second master, think of a way, if you continue like this, something will happen!" Now the scene has gotten out of control, more and more people are crowded into the restaurant, a few guys who caused the accident are now long gone, surrounded by everyone, hiding their faces and shrinking together, not daring to argue again, accepting everyone's condemnation, but some people already feel that moving their mouths is not enjoyable, and they are ready to get started, if they really want to beat those people to death, they will definitely cause trouble for the prince, Zhao Xin hurriedly shook the distracted prince and said.

"Oh!" Zhao Ta woke up and looked at the situation at the scene, his brows furrowed, he was not worried about those guys, but saw that there were too many people gathered upstairs, the floor was overwhelmed, and it was already creaking softly, it might collapse at any time, and it would be unimaginable to continue to develop.

"Get to the window!" Zhao Ta shouted a few times, but his voice was drowned in the noise, no one could hear what the prince was shouting, now he could only go there first, to prevent people from continuing to go upstairs, the three of them squeezed to the window, Zhao Ta looked out, and his heart was happy, a team of cavalry was rushing to this side...

Although Zhao Ren and the others learned the news late, they were the fastest, surpassing the people from all walks of life who heard the sound, and rushed to this street, and countless people had gathered under the restaurant, and they were guarding there with enthusiasm, and people couldn't walk, let alone horses. "Get out of the way, we are the prince's personal guards, everyone get out of the way!" Seeing this situation, Zhao Ren had already believed the rumors, tears came down, and he shouted hoarsely.
