Chapter 21: Out of Control

The crowd gradually dispersed, and only the case enforcement officer and the ruined Luo's rice shop were left in the cone.

"Why are you stunned? Why don't you get up quickly? The governor shouted angrily, and a group of officials woke up and rushed into the rice shop to look for the wounded. Finally, behind the counter in the back room, I found Boss Luo, who was beaten with a blue nose and a swollen face and trembling.

Looking at Boss Luo, who was wearing a silk green robe in front of him and lying on the ground like a grasshopper, even the officials had to hold back their efforts to not laugh.

"Catch them! Those crumbs! Catch them all! Boss Luo, who was being supported, roared!

Xu Yougui didn't know that his trouble was approaching, so he was still unhurriedly carrying his money bag and wandering on the road. When he was about to reach the entrance of the fang, several officials appeared on both sides to block it layer by layer, and before he could come back to his senses, he had been pressed to the ground. The silver money in his hand was also sprinkled on the ground.

I thought, is this going to settle accounts after the autumn?

There are no shackles, only shackles. This is a blessing in misfortune, otherwise with his body, he would have to shed his skin if he didn't die. Don't look down on the shackles, it's not as simple as just a plank. The flail weighs to 150 pounds, and it is possible to be crushed to death directly for a few more days, even if it can't be crushed, it will hurt the spine. He Xu Yougui has no intention of dying in the line of duty.

But not everyone is qualified to wear it, after all, he has not yet passed the trial, has not been sentenced, and has never been sentenced.

But instigating villagers to attack and rob rice shops can be a big or small crime. It's a small thing, but gathering crowds to make trouble and disrupt the rules of the city; If it is too big, it is a threat to the imperial court officials, which is tantamount to rebellion.

It depends on who he is.

So he can't let these officials suspect that there is a big man behind him no matter what, otherwise not only will he not be able to save him, but he will die quietly.

"Let's go inside!"

The moment he was pushed into the prison door by the officials, he looked up, okay, sure enough, there was no one in front of him today. Obviously, he forgot to count himself in the group of stunned youths.

"Brother, you were arrested too? My name is Liu Dayong, and thank you for speaking for me today. ”

hugged Luo Dayong with a fist: "It's good to say, there is Gui in Xia Xu." ”

"These dog officials are really hateful, so they made an oath that they would release food, and they will arrest us all when they turn around!"

Luo Dayong patted the shoulder of the brother next to him and sighed: "Forget it, I guessed that they wouldn't let us go, and now this is expected." As long as they are willing to release food on time tomorrow, our brothers and others can be regarded as doing good deeds for the people. ”

"Big brother!" A group of people looked at Liu Dayong in the middle with adoring eyes.

Xu Yougui shook his head helplessly, and found an unmanned corner with hay to lie down. I thought, tomorrow, hehe, this governor still can't hold his breath.

Seeing these townsmen being arrested, especially the big man named Luo Dayong in the middle, he suddenly became less worried.

This person is so arrogant, he is very influential at first glance. There was no food in the long closing warehouse, and the purpose of these officials was to evacuate the masses and then punish the evil and make an example of the monkeys. But if he catches Liu Dayong, his nature will change.

It seems that there is a good show to watch.

Early the next morning, the hungry people flocked to the granary in groups of three or five, carrying rice bags and buckets. But the originally said that Pingguang had no news in an instant, only to see the granary heavily guarded and the gate closed, and only after asking did I know that there was no long-closing grain entering the city since yesterday.

So the crowd was excited.

At this moment, he suddenly learned that Liu Dayong, who had led the crowd to destroy the mill yesterday, had been arrested, and thousands of hungry people who demanded peace immediately poured into the governor's yamen like a tide, demanding Liu Dayong's immediate release.

The governors and officials were also suddenly panicked, they expected that the people would be angry, but they didn't expect that it was just a Liu Dayong who had caught Liu Dayong and made things so far. The governor who heard the news led a team to bomb the press, but the crowd took off the official hat and feather top, tied it up and hung it on the big tree on the side of the temple, and was severely beaten. The adjutant general stepped forward to rescue and was also beaten, and all the soldiers he brought were scattered.

Xu Yougui and his entourage were lying on the window of the cell and looking out.

"Eh, big brother, what's going on outside? Why is it so lively!? ”

Liu Dayong didn't know why, scratched his head and said, "It seems to be a fight." Seeing Xu Yougui next to him, he hurriedly asked, "Brother Xu, you are smart, do you know what's going on outside?" ”

Xu Yougui's bright eyes stared outside: "We'll be able to go out soon." ”

Sure enough, not long after this sentence was finished, I saw that the black dots in the distance were getting clearer and clearer. A large number of people rushed through the inner hall and ran towards them, shouting as they ran: "Liu Zhuangshi, can the strong men who helped yesterday be inside?" Hear the words and breathe! ”

"Hey, it's the village Yong who was together yesterday! Hi! We're here! Let us out! ”

Seeing that he couldn't resist it, the cell head immediately knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, handed over the key, and asked the villagers to take away Liu Dayong, Xu Yougui and others.

But Xu Yougui suddenly had an indescribable uneasiness, he always felt that all this was not so simple, and there must be something bigger and more unexpected waiting for them.

Sure enough, before he could run out of the mansion, the situation changed suddenly.

The populace attacked in a hurry, and the annoyed officials drew their machetes and killed several people. Originally, neither side took out weapons, and no one would die even if they hit hard. But now that officials are killing people, the contradictions have completely intensified.

Seeing that the hungry people couldn't provoke the bancha officials, they rushed directly into the streets.

This farce lasted for a day and a night, and the entire 700 rice shops and the entire mill were all robbed. I don't know who lit the torches, and for a while, the fire was blazing, and the shops were burned down. Many of the workers, long-term workers, and shopkeepers who lived in the shop failed to escape and were burned alive inside.

The saved Xu Yougui and the others looked at each other and looked at each other, they were stunned in place, at a loss. One of them, many of them familiar neighbors, stared at the hideous faces in the light of the fire, his red eyes.

But now, those people are carrying torches and cruelly throwing them into the shops where there are still living people. There were even people who pulled female dependents out of the shop and raped them in the street. Where are the hungry people, they are simply bandits, they are brutes.

Xu Yougui rushed over and knocked the hungry man to the ground with one punch, but the accomplice next to him came up and punched and kicked him. While fighting, he shouted: "They don't buy rice for us, forcing us to live, and you still play heroes to save the beauty?" Lao Tzu killed you who didn't have long eyes! ”

"It's just that we can't tell which side we are. Brothers, hit! ”

Xu Yougui curled up with his head in his hands, but through the gap in the beating, he saw that the girl he had saved so desperately was still humiliated and committed suicide by hitting the wall.

So he closed his eyes in pain.

For the first time, he felt that he was so wrong, but he didn't know why it had happened the way it did.
