Gu Yanzhang has been an official in Ganzhou for more than a year, and he has always been light and simple.

He almost never brought a flag official when he went out on patrol, and he did not have the habit of letting people sound gongs to open the way, and at the same time, he frequently went in and out of the market, or asked about the people's livelihood, or listened to the people's feelings.

Especially before the construction of the Fushou Canal, he deliberately took a period of time to visit the people in the city and inquire about various opinions.

For all kinds of reasons, there are almost no people in the state and city who don't know this general judgment.

If a row of people in official uniforms stood in front of the people of Ganzhou, maybe one out of a hundred might know who was Tang Fengxian, who had been an official here for three years, and who was Meng Ling, who had known the state for a long time, but it would be difficult to find one out of a hundred, and they would not recognize Gu Yanzhang.

With the shout of the shopkeeper, the diners in the restaurant turned their heads, and they saw that they were indeed the general judge of the state, riding on horses, dressed in riding clothes, followed by several carriages, and seven or eight attendants—as if they were going to travel far away.

Everyone didn't even want to eat breakfast, so they threw away their chopsticks and ran out together.

"Official, where are you going?!"

In the distance, a person shouted knowingly.

While shouting, he took the lead and ran forward, and shouted: "Official, don't go first!" The state also wants to send an umbrella to the people! ”

There was a clever one in the back, who had already spread his legs, turned around and ran to the back alley.

Among these people, there are strong men in their thirties, and there are also old men in their fifties and sixties, and the strong men run fast, and they are about to catch up, and the old man runs slowly, and he looks a little stubborn.

When Gu Yanzhang saw this situation, he didn't dare to leave, for fear of making the old man so anxious that he really fell, and he didn't dare to talk at will, for fear that they would provoke more and more people, so he had to glance at Sun Lin beside him.

Sun Lin hurriedly turned around and ran backwards for a while, and persuaded those people: "Don't run, don't run!" Go back! Go back! ”

He said it twice, and then made a movement to walk back, but no one paid attention to it, and rushed forward faster.

The first man in the prime of life was only two or three zhang away from Gu Yanzhang, and he turned his head to look, and saw that there was a restaurant on the left that ate soy milk and cooking cakes, and there were seven or eight men who were selling hard work at a glance, thinking that they were going to work after breakfast.

The man immediately raised his voice a few points and shouted, "Is the brother inside from our Ganzhou?" Come out and help stop it, don't sit still! Gu Tong judged that he was going to steal away! ”

The men in the restaurant heard the words "Gu Tongju" and "go away", pushed the bowl, kicked the stool, and ran out one by one, that is, the shopkeeper who kneaded the dough on the board, also rubbed his hands around the stove, and ran behind.

As soon as they got out, everyone saw Gu Yanzhang riding on a horse, dressed as a long journey, and they didn't know where they were, so they chased after him, stood in line, and blocked the front of the road.

One of them, who was about forty years old, took a few steps forward and shouted, "Official, do you remember the villain?" Last year, someone wronged me for stealing, and it all depended on the officials to discern and return my innocence! ”

At this time, although it is early in the morning, there are few pedestrians on the road, and the shops are only a few sporadically opened, but this is a very prosperous street in Ganzhou City, with restaurants and shops in front and houses in the back.

At this moment, when I heard the noise on the street, several wooden windows in the vicinity were opened, and one or two heads came out of them to inquire about the situation outside.

The group of people who were in a hurry to get out of the city was already blocked in place, unable to enter or retreat.

Rosin opened the way in front of her, and there was a little bad in her heart.

The person in front of him was still talking about how Gu Tongju helped him clear up his grievances last year, chattering, and there was no end as soon as he talked about it, but he was sincere, his eyes were red, and he made an angry voice as he spoke, and he pulled his throat several times, and his voice changed tone.

Rosin Xiang and a few small servants hurriedly dismounted to help him, trying to persuade everyone to get out of the way, but everyone didn't move at all, and pulled them backhanded, "You tell the general judge to tell him not to go!" The one who said, "Which place is not an official?" Isn't our Ganzhou bad? Little brother, you talk to the general judge and tell him to stay in this place, and don't go to the other place! ”。

Someone else took out the copper plate in his pocket and quietly stuffed it into the hands of Rosin Xiang and others, only saying, "You take it, I won't tell the general judge, you go to drink and eat!" There is also a cooking cake shop with a hand full of flour and said, "As long as you let the general judge stay here, the cooking cake and syrup in my shop can be eaten as you like every day!" ”

Rosin smiled bitterly in her heart: It's okay, I'll go to your house to eat cooking cakes for nothing, will I go back to eat a meal after eating the cooking cakes?

hurriedly persuaded everyone again.

Where to persuade to move, on the contrary, the persuasion made the scene more and more chaotic.

When Gu Yanzhang saw this, he looked at the sky again, and knew that if he waited any longer, he was afraid that there would be more and more pedestrians on the street, and it would be more difficult to get out. He didn't dare to dismount, so he had to take a few steps forward and say to the few people who were blocking the way: "Let's go back, go and do what you are doing, don't miss the time of work, how many people in the family will still depend on you to feed." ”

A few more words of gentle reassurance.

He opened his mouth himself, and the group of people who blocked the way were somewhat reluctant, but they didn't want to disobey his words, so they had to let go slowly.

The charioteer hurriedly took advantage of this opportunity and whipped his horse forward.

However, this place stopped for a while, and the front had already received a letter, or three or three, or in groups, one followed one by one in front of the team, some people cried and said that the people of Ganzhou were reluctant to give up on Gu Tong's sentence, some people held children, and taught their children a few years old to call "officials don't want to go", some people only kowtowed a few heads in front, did not speak, and retreated to the side, and some people sent their own freshly made dry food to eat.

These people blocked the way, and the delay was not much, but they couldn't stand it many times, and they had to stop and go, which was even slower than a turtle crawling.

By the time it was easy to see the city gates, the sun was already hanging in the middle of the sky, and it was close to noon.

This is the north gate of Ganzhou City, also known as the main gate, the city gate is built wide, can accommodate several carriages to enter in parallel, connects the long Pan Tao Road, leads directly to the most densely populated market.

Pantao Road was originally built to be wide, and later Gu Yanzhang took office, and repaired it a few times, and the road was flat, even if it was the Shangyuan Festival and hit the market day, the people of the surrounding counties and townships came to join in the fun, squeezing a time into the city, this road can still show spaciousness.

But on this day, at this time, the Pan Tao Road, which has never been wide, is crowded with people, men, women and children, only to see the head of the person without seeing the ground, at a glance, one person next to another, until the distance is not clear, there is still a sea of people, as if the people of the entire Ganzhou City have run out.
