Qin Yining's composure infected the people around him, and Xiao Xiao, who was still a little irritable, also calmed down at this time.

Xiao Xiao came to the door and stood still, Qin Yining followed closely behind, and Jing Huwei and the silver-faced spy were protected by Xiao Xiao and Qin Yining respectively.

The torches in the hands of the people in front of the Fuya Gate were as bright as day, which also made Qin Yining more able to see the anger on everyone's faces.

There were more than a thousand of these people, all of whom had weapons in their hands, and they were only a few steps away from him, if these people swarmed up, Qin Yining really didn't think that the hundred or so people brought by Xiao Xiao could stop them.

In fact, Qin Yining's heart was also a little panicked. In the face of danger, it is impossible for her to feel completely at all, especially when so many people are staring at her with angry eyes, as if they can't cramp her thin skin, Qin Yining, who is very sensitive to danger and hostility, is like being scraped on her body at this time.

But reason prevailed, and at this juncture, neither she nor Xiao Xiao could panic. If they are panicked and afraid, what will happen to their men? Do they say advance or retreat? If these people retreat, the consequences will be unimaginable, even if they are full of martial arts, they will be trampled into meat sauce in such a sea of people.

The people had gathered in front of the yamen and had been shouting for a while. At this time, when I saw someone come out, I stopped talking in unison.

Someone in the crowd shouted, "It's Prince Zhongshun who has come out!" ”

It was confirmed that it was Prince Zhongshun, and the people were angry and gossip.

Xiao Xiao couldn't really hear it, raised his hand and pressed it, with a friendly smile on his face, and said kindly: "Fellow villagers, everyone gathered together today to see this king, and they must have encountered something difficult. Don't worry, what's the problem, this king will also come out at this time, just say it. As long as the requirements are reasonable and do not violate the law of the country, this king will help you solve it! ”

The best way to deal with an angry people is to appease. First, as a military general and a well-known god of war in the whole country, his butcher's knife can only be aimed at the enemy, against the people who invaded the Great Zhou, but not at his own people. Second, the current disparity in numbers is too great, although Xiao Xiao is confident that he can protect Qin Yining to fight a bloody way, but once he really kills the people, the consequences will be almost devastating for them.

If he really killed innocent people, the matter would spread, not only would it give Li Qitian a reason to punish him, but it would also lose all the image and reputation that he and Qin Yining had worked so hard to manage, and the name of bravery would turn into infamy.

He and Qin Yining are now desperate, and they can't tolerate half a step back and mistakes.

For now, Xiao Xiao tried to lower his body as much as possible, so that he could be closer to the people, and only thought that he could safely solve the current situation.

When the people saw that Prince Zhongshun was so gentle and easy to speak, everyone couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

Immediately, someone had the courage to say loudly: "We won't go to repair the emperor's mausoleum!" You give us a note! ”

"Yes!" When one person opened his mouth, the others immediately chimed in, "You give us a note!" As long as it is written that the emperor's mausoleum will be repaired in the future, it will not be sent from our Danfu County, and we will disperse immediately! ”

When he heard this, his face gradually sank.

"You are doing it for the people?"

"That's right! We just don't go to repair the Emperor's Mausoleum! ”

Xiao Xiao said in a deep voice: "It is the will of God to build the imperial tomb. Don't look at this king as a supervising official, but this king only has the power to supervise and handle, and the affairs of the people are not decided by this king alone. Besides, this king saw in the dossier that when he went to build the imperial tomb, the people ate and lived well, and they could eat meat every few days, which was even better than living at home, why did you resist so much? Besides, Danfu County has 4,000 people, this is the will of the Holy Lord, the Holy Decree of Chrysostom Yuyan, Danfu County is now gathering many people to disobey the Holy Decree, do you want to rebel? ”

"Phew! Put your motherfucker stinky! Someone in the crowd shouted and cursed, "What is good to eat and live, what can eat meat!" Are you fooling us fools who don't know anything! ”

"That is, the last time I repaired the emperor's mausoleum, I recruited 3,000 people, and in the end less than 400 people came back alive!"

"Even if we ordinary people are poor, but in the end they are all raised by our fathers and mothers, don't those people have relatives, not people but brutes who can make your court scourge at will!"

……

After saying this, the people present were excited. The shouts and curses of the people in front of the yamen shook the sky.

As soon as he saw it, he knew that the scene in front of him was someone inciting emotions among the people. But what they said is that they requisitioned 3,000 people, and in the end only 400 came back alive, which is indeed true! And these records, which he has seen, are not in them!

From the perspective of the people, Xiao Xiao felt sorry for them. This Danfu County has a large population and a lot of fields, and it can levy 3,000 people, and every family must have a strong man to go out. In the end, only 400 people came back alive, and the county is afraid that it is not a vegetarian?

That kind of scene is even more chilling than a plague, because the plague is uncontrollable, but it is the court that requisitions the people to death!

But from his own point of view, he is indeed wronged. Before that, he didn't know the situation at all, and he didn't even think that such a thing would happen when the imperial tomb was built. It seems that the person behind it is inciting the emotions of the people and wants to put him to death!

When Xiao Xiao's heart turned a thousand times, someone in the crowd cried loudly.

"Don't believe the nonsense of the court! I am the man who came before or came back, and repairing the emperor's tomb is simply not a human job! The officials deducted our food, and every meal was gruel that was out of sight, and we didn't do a meal for more than ten days, and we had to be blindfolded and called to work if we slept less than two hours every day, and those who refused to go, and those who moved slower, came up with a whip. If you don't have enough to eat, you can't dress warmly, and you don't sleep enough, where is it not dangerous when you start work? Even in a famine year, digging grass roots at home to eat is much better than going to repair the emperor's mausoleum! ”

As soon as this man told him about the situation, the rest of the people agreed with him.

The scolding that had been a little weaker sounded like water pouring into hot oil. Not only was the court scolded, but the prince, who was responsible for repairing the emperor's mausoleum, and even all the family members of the emperor, were greeted by the people with the most rude swear words to the ancestors of the eighteen generations, especially the female elders, which was simply unbearable.

The other party is full of people and has a huge momentum, and it is absolutely impossible for Xiao Xiao and Qin Yining to quarrel with them alone.

Xiao Xiao shouted loudly: "Quiet! It's all quiet! Are you here to solve the problem or to rebel today? If you continue to scold, in the end, even if it makes sense, it becomes unreasonable! It's all quiet! ”

Many of the people who were close to him fell silent when they heard that it made sense. After all, no one wants to be labeled as a rebel and finally be justifiably suppressed by the imperial court.

Most people come to take risks for the benefit and safety of their families, and they are forced to come.

However, there are such people in the crowd who incite the atmosphere, deliberately misinterpreting the words of the owl.

"Phew! Minion! You refuse to do something for us, and you want to threaten us? There are so many of us, are we still afraid that you will not succeed! This thing is stabbed in front of the saint, and that makes sense! You happily gave us a note and promised not to requisition people from Danfu County in the future, and we will disperse immediately! Otherwise, we'll just slaughter you corrupt officials today!" ”

"That's right! Slaughter corrupt officials! Live a stable life in the future! ”

"Our entire county has been dispatched, what can the imperial court do to us? Isn't there a saying that the public is not to be blamed! ”

……

Most people have a herd mentality, and when such a major event comes to it, someone advocates it and someone responds immediately. At this time, if someone in the crowd said "The prince is innocent", they would immediately think that this page was also a newly appointed supervising official, and he did not repair the former imperial tomb.

However, the people who are against the unscrupulous have long been prepared, and it is bound to arouse the anger of the people.

The anger of the people was instigated, and there were many of them, and the people of the entire county were dispatched, so I didn't believe that the imperial court could behead the entire county!

Thinking of this, the people couldn't take care of it, and there was a stunned young man who was in a hurry, raised his sickle and rushed forward, "Kill the dog official!" ”

The palace guards were about to unsheath their swords and blocked in front of the yamen.

Seeing that the people of the court drew their swords, the sword was pointed at these people, and the people were panicked and angry in their hearts.

The common people who rushed forward were swept to the ground with a single scabbard.

Tang Xiu strode to the periphery and drew a line on the ground. As a Jinghu Guard, who has really killed people on the battlefield and seen blood, his momentum around him should not be underestimated when he gets serious.

"Hear me clearly! The prince has no intention of harming the innocent, if you wait for the following to commit crimes, besiege the government office, and treat it as a traitor! Whoever crosses the line, die! ”

Tang Xiu used the loudest voice and the most momentum, and the people who were closer even felt numb in their eardrums.

Many of the people were quiet, and their hearts were afraid.

But the one who takes the lead will not give up.

Immediately, a few men rushed up with pickaxes, shovels, door latches and other weapons.

"I don't believe it! You dare to really cut Lao Tzu! ”

"There are so many of us, you have the ability to cut them all!"

These people didn't care about the blades in the hands of the palace guards, and directly rounded the guy and rushed into the palace.

Tang Xiu looked at Xiao Xiao in embarrassment.

He gestured, shook his head, and ordered everyone not to harm the lives of the people.

Tang Xiu was helpless, so he could only step forward and knock out the few people one by one.

These men are all tall and strong, who knows that they will lie down in two hits.

The people in the vicinity all appreciated the power of the palace guards, and they all timidly retreated.

But behind the crowd, someone deliberately rushed forward and shouted: "Murder! Prince Zhongshun killed the people in public! He dares to kill the younger generations in our family, let's rush up and kill them! ”
