Chapter 557: The Wrath of the People
"Bell Bell Bell ......"
The sound rang out in my ears, and the closed market suddenly opened, and the crowd poured in like a tide.
Today is the fourth day of the governor's statement, that is to say, the three-day covenant has been completed, so the bazaars of Danyang, Wu and Huiji counties are opened, and countless people have walked in. However, what appeared in front of me was a desperate scene, only to see the shops locked and not the slightest sign of opening.
In other words, the state governor did not do what was said, did not persuade these shops to open their doors, and the anger that quietly spread when he thought of the promise made three days ago and the almost bottoming rice jar in his home.
"Is this the result of the state pastor making us wait for three days?"
"Is this what the Governor's Office has done by taking advantage of our trust in them?"
"I said that these shops would open, why haven't they opened yet?"
The emotions of the crowd were mobilized, and their eyes were red when they thought of their own situation, as if a pile of dry firewood could form a sea of fire with just a little spark. Burn everything you can see, destroy these shops and even the governor's house.
Public opinion is unstoppable.
However, there is never a shortage of people who fanned the flames, not to mention that this chaos has long been doomed in the hearts of some people.
The ignorant people are destined to be their vanguard, changing the sky south of the Yangtze River in the muddy.
"Yes, we have to give an explanation, we have to let these shops open their doors"
"The governor's office said that if the shops do not open after three days, the treasury and the granary will be opened"
"Which of you has the courage to go with me to the treasury and the granary"
A burly man shouted at the top of his voice, lest he say that if he slowed down, these angry people would destroy his own shop.
Several men hidden in the crowd glanced at each other and roared in a tacit understanding.
"Willing to Go"
"Willing to Go"
The voice spread, and the anger in his heart was completely ignited.
At this moment, the people have forgotten the real reason for the closure of these shops, and instead directed their anger at the governor's office. If it weren't for the state pastor standing up three days ago, how could he have wasted three days in vain and starved for three days. Someone has to be in charge of this, and the governor is the best option.
"Come with me, go to the granary first, we will buy grain"
"Yes, we need to have enough food to buy"
"We need enough food to buy"
The people shouted loudly at the top of their voices, and turned around violently and ran quickly outside the market.
Boundless anger spread, and a huge granary appeared in front of him, and several officials guarding in front showed panicked looks. But on the contrary, the person at the head was not surprised, but felt that the occasion was not right and hurriedly reined in.
"Who's coming? It is forbidden to trespass on the granary, the land, the idle people, etc."
"By the order of the governor, if the shops are not open in three days, then the granary will be opened. Please also open the door of the granary and let me wait to buy grain."
"Please open the door of the granary and let me wait to buy grain"
Everyone roared in unison, quite a bit of a momentum that did not achieve the goal and vowed not to give up.
The granary order's face sank, and he arched his hand into the sky.
"Without the official letter of the state governor's office, the official will not be able to open the granary, if you want to open the warehouse to buy grain, please ask for the documents first."
"What kind of formal writing, in my opinion, is nothing more than prevarication"
"Right, prevarication"
"They're shirking responsibility, they're trying to break their word"
Someone yelled in anger in the crowd.
The anger that had just subsided suddenly flourished, and one by one they showed a look of eagerness to devour the granary alive.
The granary made his heart startled, and a cold sweat appeared behind him. But then he reacted, and all those fears turned into secret joy. So he took courage and roared at all the people.
"Are you trying to rebel?"
"How can this official be questioned by his actions?"
"Come on"
"In"
All the officials shouted in unison, and took a step forward.
The granary order raised its voice, and the endless official authority spread in all directions.
"If anyone dares to trespass on the granary"
"No Mercy"
"No"
The officials roared wildly, trying to use their voices to embolden themselves, and subconsciously put their hands on the hilt of the saber.
The murderous man's face appeared, and the anger in the hearts of the people was completely detonated.
"The state pastor is not true to his words, what if I wait?"
"Back then, we were not afraid of danger when the mountains came to invade us, not to mention a granary"
"Everyone, come with me who are not afraid of death, it is better to die here than to starve to death"
"I am willing to die with the strong man and open the granary"
There was a violent roar from the crowd, which turned into a torrent and rushed over.
The officials were shocked when they saw this scene, and hurriedly retreated to the left and right sides, lest they would end up with no bones left if they were a little slower.
"Presumptuous"
"Anyone who storms the granary without permission will take it immediately"
"No"
A troop of cavalry roared.
As soon as Tang Gaoming pulled the reins, more than 100 riders divided the crowd into two. Then the neighing of the horses knocked all the men who rushed towards the granary to the ground.
"Take"
"No"
A majestic voice rang out, a saber unsheathed, and hundreds of horsemen pointed at those who had been knocked to the ground.
The aura of slaughter spread, and the people took two steps back.
Tang Gaoming turned over and dismounted and walked in the direction of the granary, and the sound sounded in his ears again.
"Where is the granary order?"
"In"
"The state pastor has an order, and the granary is opened"
"No"
The granary Ling felt this murderous aura, and a cold sweat appeared behind his back again, and he hurriedly walked forward. But as soon as he took two steps, he couldn't help but freeze in place, and his eyes were filled with fear.
Open the granary? Granary? ……
These people are obviously not good, and if they find the granary empty, they will have their own lives.
Seeing the granary order trembling all over his body in front of him, Tang Gaoming's eyes showed a thick murderous aura, and he pulled his throat violently.
"The state pastor has an order, and the granary is opened"
"Opening a Granary"
Hundreds of horsemen shouted in unison.
The hearts of the people were shocked, as if they had vaguely felt something, and an ominous aura spread.
"Lower, lower"
"The lower officials will open the granary"
The granary order took a bunch of keys, tremblingly opened the huge copper lock, and bags of grain appeared in front of him. Take a deep breath to force yourself to calm down, and take a step and walk inside.
This time, he was not the only one who did this, but the granary orders of dozens of counties in the three counties all did the same thing, even if the state pastor found out, what could they do? Do you really dare to turn your face? Don't want that food anymore? Still Jiangnan doesn't want it anymore.
Straighten up your official uniform and straighten up.
"Does the general really want to give food to the people of this county?"
"This is the order of the governor to sell grain to the people at market prices"
"Good"
The granary ordered to spit out the word heavily.
looked at the dozen or so officials standing outside, and shouted orders to them.
"Someone Coming"
"In"
"Carry out this grain and sell it to the people"
"No"
More than a dozen officials replied loudly.
Looking at the granary order with a huge difference in momentum before and after, Tang Gaoming looked puzzled. Dying? Or is this person blatantly disobeying the order of the head of the family, a strong order, a good official.
