Chapter 694: The People's Heart

In a word, it seems to open the floodgates.

The invective was like a flood, and the noise spread.

All the refugees were pointing at Governor Yang and scolding.

"Corrupt officials! It must have received the silver with the surname Gao! ”

"Gao Dianshi has done so many bad things, the little prince is uneven, but you drove people away, are you worthy of being a prefect!"

"Dog officials, officials protect each other, don't give us the people a way to live!"

"Dog officer, dog officer!"

"Kill him! Shoot him! ”

The anger of the refugees had been soothed by the righteous act of the Emperor, but who knew that Governor Yang acted like this, but pushed the anger of all the people to the next peak.

Everyone grabbed the mud and stones on the ground and threw them at Governor Yang's body.

Governor Yang's entourage and guards hurriedly protected him, and one by one they opened their arms like an old hen, for fear that the prefect would be injured. However, there were still a lot of dirt and stones thrown on the face and head of Yang Zhifu.

Where did Governor Yang suffer such grievances?

He hurriedly said in a loud voice: "It's not that this mansion doesn't deal with the history of Gaodian, but that Prince Zhongshun has overstepped his authority and he ......."

"Eat! You dog officer, don't talk nonsense here! ”

Before Governor Yang finished speaking, he was hit in the face by an oncoming cloud of horse manure.

"Phew, Bah, Bah!" Governor Yang wiped his face and coughed violently. The embarrassment has never been seen before.

However, the people did not stop, they could not find anyone to avenge them, and Qian Dashan was seriously injured and fell to the ground, and was carried aside and is still unconscious.

They didn't eat, they didn't drink, they didn't have warm clothes, and they didn't know where the next meal would be, so it was easy for someone to give them a head, but they were rejected by Governor Yang. In the name of overstepping his authority, isn't this his shielding of his subordinates?

There is no light in sight for their future. Being bullied like this, instead of starving to death and freezing to death silently, it is better to take a bad breath now!

The refugees couldn't bear it anymore and rushed forward in anger. Some rushed to the yamen, some rushed to Yang Zhifu and Gao Dianshi, and some rushed in the direction of Gaofu.

Not only that, but the desperate refugees are very hostile to the rich family, and some of them have a sense of revenge and rush to the rest of the unrelated homes.

Governor Yang looked at it and hurriedly waved his arms: "You all stop!" Whoever you want to punish, this government will agree. Don't be impulsive, don't be impulsive! ”

However, in the chaos, who else could hear the shouts of Governor Yang?

Everyone rushed to vent their evil thoughts, yelling and venting, and rushing around.

Governor Yang's cold sweat came down.

If this continues, won't everyone near the yamen suffer? That's an unprecedented event in a century! He, an obscure prefect, should be recorded in the history books because of this kind of thing?

Even if the Holy One knows about it, he will not have any good fruit to eat!

Governor Yang looked left and right, and didn't know what else to do. Suddenly turned around, and happened to see Yu Chiyan and Gu Shixiong hugging back in the corner, and Governor Yang was immediately furious.

Okay, Yu Chiyan, a dog thief! This mansion is your people, but you don't care about the neck of the king now, what kind of thing are you!

But the crowd was chaotic, even if he said and scolded, no one would hear it.

We can't let this go any further!

Governor Yang was anxious like an ant on a hot pot, and could only squeeze in the direction where Pingnanjun left. His retinue and guards were busy fending him off the refugees who rushed up to beat him.

"Lord, Lord, stay! The prince stays! ”

Governor Yang couldn't care about his image anymore, and yelled in the direction of Xiao Xiao with mad difficulty.

His hair was disheveled, his clothes were dirty, and his face had horse manure thrown over his face, but he didn't care about it at all.

Xiao Xiao actually didn't want to leave at all, otherwise wouldn't their horse team disappear in the blink of an eye, and it would still be Governor Yang's turn to chase after him?

Hearing the voice of Governor Yang, the Devil turned around, and the Jinghu guards immediately stepped forward to pick up Governor Yang's Mansion, lest he be killed by the refugees before he could speak to the prince.

"Lord Wang!" Yang Zhifu was out of breath and said anxiously: "Lord Wang, you see that the city is in chaos like this, how can you do nothing!" ”

Xiao Xiao turned over and jumped off the horse, and after standing still with Qin Yining in his arms, he turned to look at Governor Yang's mansion and said with a smile: "Didn't Governor Yang say that this king overstepped?" If you let this king go, this king will have no choice but to go. You don't let this king interfere, and this king has no choice but not to interfere, why is it now that this king is doing nothing? Governor Yang is inevitably too difficult to serve! ”

Governor Yang knew that Xiao Xiao was blaming him, he couldn't take care of his son at this time, and if the chaos continued, his life and the lives of his whole family would be gone.

Governor Yang hurriedly swept the floor and pleaded: "I beg the prince to let the soldiers and horses take action to quell this disturbance." Otherwise, if it continues to develop, the consequences will be unimaginable! ”

Xiao Xiao said: "This is what you let this king manage, but it's not that this king is acting beyond his authority, right?" ”

"No, no." Governor Yang was angry with his stomach.

Xiao Xiao turned back to Qin Yining and said, "Princess, do you think this king should care?" ”

Qin Yining couldn't help but smile at this time, but he had actually endured it very hard.

Xiao Xiao is not a nonsense person, nor is he a person who cares about people's lives, he has actually already arranged for people to protect the doors of the surrounding people. This was just to scare Governor Yang and make him come to him.

Qin Yining pretended to mutter: "In fact, the prince was framed for overstepping his authority, and the concubine was also very uncomfortable...... However, the prince still cooperated sincerely with Governor Yang to ensure the stability of the old capital. ”

"Okay then." Xiao Xiao smiled and said, "Then listen to the princess." ”

The Jinghu guards have long been accustomed to the affection of Xiao Xiao and Qin Yining. But the elites of the Pingnan Army didn't know.

They only think that they are a well-known tough guy, who would have thought that this tough guy also has a tender side? And the prince doesn't mind showing his love for his daughter-in-law in front of outsiders, and is even willing to let her express his opinion on such matters, this kind of respect is not something that any man can give to his wife.

The men have been convinced by Xiao Xiao for a long time these days, and now they see Xiao Xiao loving his wife so much, and the iron man is tender, which is even more precious in the eyes of everyone.

Everyone laughed.

Xiao Xiao turned back and said, "Brothers, go and stop the refugees, don't stand here and laugh." ”

"Yes!"

The Pingnan Army and Jinghuwei, as well as the people in civilian clothes who had been arranged in the shadows very early, immediately cooperated with the action

However, after a stick of incense, the scene of the riot calmed down, not the shock of thousands of people roaring, only occasionally hearing someone scolding.

Standing in the middle of the clearing, he said in a loud voice: "Fellow villagers, everyone is quiet, listen to what this king has to say." ”

Huzi and Mu Jinghu, who were squatting in the crowd, glanced at each other.

Huzi immediately said loudly: "Don't make any noise, listen to what the prince says!" ”

Mu Jinghu also crutched the people around him with his arm, "Listen to what the prince says, the prince is a good person." ”

There were people mixed in with the refugees passing to each other, and the mood of the refugees quickly calmed down and everyone was quiet.

Xiao Xiao said loudly: "Folks, just now Governor Yang said to this king that he is willing to agree to any request for everyone's work, as long as the big guys can stop making trouble." This king thought that what Governor Yang said was also for everyone's good. So I helped him to make peace with everyone.

"You see, if we continue to make trouble, in the end, the result will not be good for everyone. And those who want to rob others in a fit of rage, do you think that's right? If you are caught by the court, do you have to cut off your head?

"When you are wronged, you are angry and scolding others, this is human nature, that is, whoever knows will sympathize with everyone. But once everyone really becomes a murderer who creates a riot, then the only way for the imperial court to do so is to send troops to suppress and quell the civil unrest!

"Do you know what happened to those people who gathered to make trouble in history?"

Xiao Xiao's voice was loud, his words were simple and easy to understand, and when everyone calmed down, the gentle Cheng Po made it clear, although he didn't say the meaning of blame, but the scare was already in place.

It's only been a while that the people have been carried away by anger, everyone is used to keeping to themselves, and how many of them have the courage to withstand the punishment of the law? Who would want to do evil? Who wouldn't be afraid of death?

Therefore, when Xiao Xiao said something, everyone who said it directly consciously shut up, and they all panicked.

Pacing quietly, he gave all the refugees enough time to think about what would happen if they continued to do evil, until everyone knew what fear was, and then continued:

"So now Governor Yang agrees to these conditions, he is really taking care of everyone, Governor Yang is a scholar, his brain is a little pedantic, but his heart is not bad, if you have any difficulties, just bring it up, and I will help you testify here.

"Our big guy has experienced wars, disasters, and famines, and it was easy to survive, and there is no need for water to do hurtful things, don't you say? Aren't we here for our wives and children to live well? ”

"yes, we just want to live." In the crowd, some people covered their faces and whimpered and cried.

This cry really made everyone cry with sadness.

Everyone started crying.

Hungry, braving the cold wind, there was such a big scene, and after several twists and turns, he almost lost his life, and finally got a chance to negotiate terms with the official. In the hearts of all people, there is a kind of fear and trepidation for the rest of their lives, and there is infinite panic and fear for the future in the future.

"We just want to live, we want to have something to eat."

"We want Gao Dianshi to get the punishment he deserves!"

"I also want Gao Dianshi to let go of the great good people who were captured by him!"

"Also, we wanted to have a warm place to stay.

"If the conditions are not good, it doesn't matter if we adults are cold, we can give my doll and my eighty-year-old mother a warm place to spend the winter!"

……

Everyone is gossiping about conditions.

However, none of the conditions they put forward were excessive.

The conditions they put forward made Qin Yining feel sad when he heard it.

This is the simple people.

They have no ambitions, and they don't want any glory or wealth.

They just want to live, they want their families to live, they want to be filial to the elderly, and they want their children to live a better life.

To put it bluntly, what they want is just the most basic dignity of being a human being.

But in the current troubled times, even such a simple wish cannot be realized.

Qin Yining's lonely eyes drooped, and there were already sad tears flashing in his eyes.

Standing in the corner of the wall in shock, Yu Chiyan was also unspeakably sad, painful and deeply guilty at this time.

These were his former people. His people just want to live like a human being, but he, the emperor, can't do it.

Lost his country, lost his home, killed his wife and concubines, and now he is still surviving, wanting to regain the power of Dayan, he has not had close contact with these people, so he has never considered the thoughts and feelings of these people.

In the cold wind, Yu Chiyan looked at the ragged refugees, listened to their humble begging and cries, and asked his heart extremely heavy for the first time.

Did he really do the right thing?

Xiao Xiao's mood was also extremely heavy.

He lowered his eyes and looked at Governor Yang, who was beside him, with a tense face, and asked in a deep voice, "Governor Yang, did you hear that?" ”

Governor Yang pursed his lips for a long time before nodding heavily.
