The prefect could not and did not dare to stop these people from leaving the city.

Seeing that the prefect had regressed, these people were not aggressive, they were elegant and polite scholars.

"Since the large number of people makes it difficult for the government, let's go in batches according to what you said." They said kindly, "Gwangju is our home, and we don't want to make the state capital difficult and the people uneasy." ”

The Tian family's Liao family did what they said, and now it was the Tian family's people who went out of the city, and the people who were congested by the Liao family immediately retreated.

The people of the Tian family are no longer crowded at the city gate, but retreat back, and every once in a while a group of people come out, riding horses and carts, driving livestock and pulling luggage, although it will still cause crowding on the street, but it is much better than before, and the city gate is no longer congested immediately, but

"They went in batches like this, which only made the panic and fear even more widespread." Changshi stood on the city gate and smiled bitterly.

Even if these families travel in batches, it is also eye-catching, and people on the street are running to tell each other.

After all, not everyone saw the congestion of the city gate and the streets, and the congestion of the city gate was only a day and a night, but now they are going in batches, and there are people out of the city every day, and everyone can see it.

"Come and see, this is someone from the Liao family."

"That's right, they're moving."

"Oh my God, where are they going?"

"Why are they leaving?"

"Is there a safer place than ours?"

"Or maybe we're not safe here?"

As the chatter dispersed in groups, the streets became more congested, and frightened people stopped to ask questions.

The people of the Tian family and the Liao family did not say that it was because of the harsh government of the government, and the people who were stopped either said that they did not know that it was the decision of the patriarch, or that the state capital had a large population and they did not want to compete with the people for a chance to survive, which was polite, and the unceremonious ones implicitly said that the Gwangju Mansion was not suitable for them to live.

Ambiguity has always been a source of suspicion, and sometimes it is more frightening than talking.

The hall of the prefect was full of officials, large and small, some with sad faces, some with bitter faces, some angry and some sad and indignant.

"What obeys the words of adults, they are clearly deliberate."

"In this way, there are all kinds of rumors in the city."

"How much money did the young lady and the lord spent, and how much flesh and blood were used by the soldiers and horses one after another, to appease the people and make the Gwangju Mansion and half of Huainan Province stable"

"How much money? The Gwangju government has spent a total of money so far."

"Lord Yu, Lord Yu, this is an exclamation, not for you to count the amount, you sit back quickly."

There was a lot of discussion in the hall, except for a few people who were distracted, everyone's topic revolved around Tian's Liao family's departure from Gwangju Mansion.

"It's not just the Tian family, the Liao family." An official said in a deep voice.

These words caused the noisy hall to freeze for a while.

"Outside the city," an official stood in front of the map in the hall and stretched out his hand to point out

"What's the matter?" A voice interjected.

Everyone looked in one direction, the back corner of the hall, but it was not where the lowly official was, and Mrs. Wu was sitting there.

In the past, no one ignored Mrs. Wu, and now she can't, she no longer covers her head and face, wears a plain brocade dress, does not apply powder, does not wear beads, her black hair and snow-white face are the most gorgeous in the world, and no accessories can add luster to her.

Mrs. Wu often sat here, and this time there were two more people behind her.

An old man who is over half a hundred years old and has seen through the world but has a sneaky look in his eyes, and a man who is in the prime of life with a rebellious expression but can hardly hide his rootlessness and vanity, both of them are wearing green robes and robes.

Everyone looked at them curiously, and they looked at everyone at a loss, and they didn't seem to know who they were and why they were doing here.

Listening to the excitement and being distracted, Jiang Liang blurted out of control, and the questions he asked were very stupid, like a countryman who had never seen the world, Liu Fan, who was sitting on the side, hated his teeth and felt very embarrassed.

Mrs. Wu didn't speak, and the official's eyes didn't look down on the countryman at all, and explained to him seriously: "This is a big map, and this is our Huainan Dao." After saying this, he also pointed to another screen, "There is also a map there, which is used in the military, the map of Gwangju Prefecture." ”

Jiang Liang got up and thanked him before sitting down, and the official continued to speak.

"The Jiang family of Guyuan, the Fu family of Liangcun, and the Yangzhou Jiao family who came from other places to buy half of Qi Village." He stretched out his hand and pointed to the map of Huainan Province, "They are also preparing to set off, and they have already released the news." ”

The prefect sitting in the middle sighed heavily: "Now it is clear that these people are united. ”

These are not the only families to leave, they are waiting to add fuel to the fire.

"How did the people react?" The prefect asked.

One by one, the officials in the hall stood up and replied, their expressions as heavy as their words.

"Yesterday, one hundred and thirty people followed the Liao family out of the city."

"The number of people who entered Gwangju Prefecture is decreasing by about 300 according to the list sent yesterday."

"The merchants are also leaving, and the news is spreading, and many merchants who are on the road who are about to come over immediately pull the goods and run away."

This is the most headache, the merchants travel everywhere and can spread the news the most.

The official in charge of the merchants stood up and solemnly saluted the prefect: "My lord, if this continues, the Gwangju Mansion will be in civil strife." ”

Some officials also stood up and saluted: "My lord, you should talk to these families." ”

Many officials followed the advice, but others stood up against it.

"That's exactly what they're here for." A five-year-old official said, "They just want to make the Gwangju Mansion chaotic and force the adults to bow to them, and these family's tricks have always been like this." ”

The officials here are very familiar with this kind of trick, saying that the officials are in charge of a place, but because the officials are all in different places, what can really control a place is the local family that has lasted for generations, and the first thing officials want to visit when they are new to a place is these people, and only with their assistance can they be in power in peace.

This has always been the default rule of officials and local tycoons.

So this time, the government asked the family for money and food, and the family gave it, but when the family wanted to exchange these payments for the benefits they wanted, the prefect refused, and the rules were broken, and the family stopped doing it, and wanted to teach the government a lesson.

"These tactics worked before, but now they are troubled times." Another official also stood up and waved his sleeves, because he had seen the battle stained with blood with his own eyes in the troubled times, and people became a little rude, "They don't dare to really leave our Gwangju Mansion at all." ”

So now it's a matter of comparing to see who sinks his breath and who bows his head first.

The two sides in the hall argued.

The prefect glanced at Mrs. Wu Shao, who was sitting in the corner, and Mrs. Wu never spoke, so he made a decision.

"Then ignore them and see how much they can go." He said, "Strengthen patrols and reassure the people." ”

Show all the soldiers and horses, and this scene depends on who can play the most deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

After the discussion was dispersed, Mrs. Wu returned to the inner house, and she did not express her opinion from beginning to end, only in the end it was related to the soldiers and horses, and Yuan Ji stood up and said that everything was in accordance with the arrangement of the adults.

Mrs. Wu went back, and Jiang Liang and Liu Fan also went back.

Mrs. Wu and Yuan Ji talked as they walked, their voices were not loud or small, Jiang Liang and Liu Fan could hear it but they were not too embarrassed to listen, their minds were restless, and they were thinking nonsense.

Mrs. Wu Shao suddenly turned around and asked: "You are from the capital, you have seen more than me along the way, you said that the soldiers and horses of Gwangju Mansion now, how is the strength in Great Xia?" ”

Maybe it was the chaos of the big families that made Mrs. Wu uneasy, Jiang Liang didn't reply directly, Liu Fan was not polite, and said very simply: "At present, it is temporarily in Great Xia or the third or second." ”

Mrs. Wu was a little curious: "Who is the first?" Who can compete with them? ”

Liu Fan said: "Ankang Mountain is the first, Jiannan Dao is the third now, but it may be the second in the future." ”

Mrs. Wu said: "Is it because of that doll's festival?" ”

Jiang Liang, who had not spoken, snatched Liu Fan's words at this time: "Young lady, don't laugh, it is with this doll festival that it is possible to rank in the top two, if the doll does not get the festival degree, or two months late, let alone the second, the top three and the top four do not have its place." ”

Mrs. Wu Shao sighed: "Really? It's so important for the doll to get the festival two months in advance. ”

Liu Fan slapped his high-five: "That's right, the so-called one step early, one step early, one step late, wait three years." ”

Jiang Liang was not to be left behind: "If you hadn't gotten the festival so early, you wouldn't have been able to send troops before the rebellion for Xie En to enter Beijing, and you wouldn't have just entered Shannan West Road, so that you could arrange troops to block the rebels from setting foot in the southwest."

As soon as their words began, they saw the young lady Wu who turned around smile, and the sky and the earth were crystal clear in an instant, and the words of the two people came to an abrupt end.

Who can see such a smile without losing their minds?

Mrs. Wu Shao smiled and turned away, leaving the two of them standing in place.

"King Zhou You's Beacon Fire Opera Princes can get a smile from the beauty." Jiang Liang stretched out his hand and muttered, "I didn't expect that I, Jiang Liang, could do it with a word." ”
