"Huh? If this is the case, where can our group of people survive? ”

Even if everyone panicked, there were even those who were less timid and hid their faces and cried on the spot.

"How did it come to this? At the beginning, we listened to Cheng Zhixian's suggestion, and then we went to the prince to petition. ”

"But Cheng Zhixian has interceded for us, there is such a big thing in the city this time, and the county magistrate himself is difficult to protect, can he still take care of us?"

"Which turtle grandson's hand hurt the prince! Arrest this man and hand him over, and maybe we'll be able to escape!" ”

"It was so chaotic at the time, no one could see who it was!"

"Let's look for it, maybe it's the closest to the prince at that time! Alas! Who the hell is it, stand up and admit it yourself, don't wait for anyone to find out! ”

……

The people were in chaos, and before they could do anything, they had already started infighting.

They were really panicked, especially the people who had not been close to the inside of the wish even though they had gone to participate in the wish, and felt more and more that they wished.

When a woman heard about the commotion in this place, she gathered around her and cried with her face: "If we women and children didn't go to petition that day, will we also be involved?" ”

"Are you still young? Besiege the yamen and stab the only king with a different surname in the dynasty, if the saint thinks that we are going to rebel, you can say it, whether this crime is big or small! At that time, I'm afraid that the whole family will have to be pulled to cut off the head! ”

"Huh? No, it won't......"

"How not? If we are all beheaded, the blood will not be washed away even if the river water is poured out! ”

This statement was so terrifying that all the people were chilled. The women wept louder in terror. The men were also bluffing their hands and feet.

"Let's go back and clean up, and run away with our families immediately!"

"Yes, yes, run away!"

Someone turned around and asked the house to clean up.

But the few elders who had been silent for a long time said: "It's useless, if it's really a crime of rebellion, even if you flee to Tiannan, Haibei, it won't be useful, and then the saint will send someone to arrest you, can you escape for a lifetime?" ”

These elders are all highly respected people, and they are quite dignified in front of everyone. Hearing him say this, the people despaired.

"No, we're wronged! Let's go to Cheng Zhixian reasonably! The idea that Lord Zhixian gave us at the beginning, but it is possible that the Holy Lord will take the lives of all of us at this time, is Lord Zhixian irresponsible? He can send us away with a word of pleading? ”

In desperation, someone immediately followed.

Someone else muttered in a low voice, "Who knows if he is pleading for mercy, maybe he is pleading for himself." ”

"Zhixian, his wife and children haven't appeared for a long time......"

"My sister-in-law's sister-in-law, the eldest nephew of my third mother-in-law's family, said that there are not many people in the yamen now, and Mrs. Zhixian has long since left."

"What! He really calmed down and ran away with his wife and children! Let's top the tank here! ”

"Let's go, find him!"

"Yes, go find him!"

……

In a hurry, the people gathered at the yamen as they did when they were looking for a petition for the owl.

Knowing that he was looking for an explanation from Cheng Zhi County, more and more people joined the team. After a short time, the front of the yamen was surrounded by water.

Compared with the last time, this time the people did not hold anything in their hands, but the resentment was obviously heavier than the last time.

Cheng Zhixian learned the news and hurried to the door.

Seeing a group of people surrounding themselves in front of the door, he couldn't help frowning: "What do you mean by this?" ”

"My lord, after all these days, is there any news from the Holy Lord?"

"Yes, we are worried all day long, we can't eat, we can't sleep, we just wait for the meaning of the top."

"Didn't the Lord say to intercede for us, why hasn't the Holy One forgiven us by decree?"

……

Looking at the anxious and resentful faces, Cheng Zhixian felt a little helpless from the bottom of his heart.

This is ordinary people, thinking about their own interests and losses, not considering the overall situation, and they are very easy to be instigated, although they have some brains, but they are not selfish.

Cheng Zhixian's silence made all the people excited, and the grumpy young man in the crowd was already scolding his mother.

Cheng Zhixian was scolded in a complicated mood, thinking of the 3,000 cavalry who were stopped outside the city by the Xiaoxiao, it is said that the silver that people eat and chew in the past few days is all out of their own pockets, and they were stabbed by the people, and they didn't think about revenge, and they were willing to talk to Ma Dudu is explanation.

The most important thing is that Cheng Zhixian knows that Xiao Xiao has already pleaded for the people.

With such a good character and thinking about the people, he is a little reluctant to smear behind his back.

In order to achieve great things that day, he incited the emotions of the people, and gradually planted seeds in the hearts of the people, so that everyone thought that Prince Zhongshun was a mediocre person who killed people without blinking.

But now, Cheng Zhixian actually felt a little regretful.

If there are two or three more generals in the DPRK and China, and they check and balance each other, why should the Great Zhou Dynasty be worried?

It's just that Cheng Zhixian knows that he won't be able to see such a scene in the future. He didn't know if the saint would listen to Xiao Xiao's persuasion. But he knew he wouldn't survive.

Xu is dying is also good at his words, Cheng Zhixian involuntarily said: "This county has already explained the situation of the day, even if the saint blames, he will only blame one person in this county." I won't bother you. In addition, as far as I know, Prince Zhongshun had already explained the situation of the day with the 3,000-battalion Ma Du Tu, and Ma Du Du and Prince Zhong Shun also went to Shu Sheng together, which has already shown that the day was not a rebellion. Prince Zhongshun and Jinshang are sworn brothers, even if the words of this county are not believed, the words of the prince will be believed. ”

Everyone was amazed.

"My lord, you said that Prince Zhongshun also interceded with us?"

"Don't lie to us, adults!"

Cheng Zhixian saw that all the people were shocked, shook his head and said, "How can this county talk nonsense about such a big thing?" ”

Some people whispered under their heads: "In this way, Prince Zhongshun is not a bad person!" ”

"We used to have bad senses for him, so we really misunderstood him!"

Seeing that everyone's anger was no longer so heavy, Cheng Zhixian took two steps forward and said slowly: "Think about it, you were misunderstood and rebelled that day, because of the siege of the county government, right?" Are you doing this now to add another layer of sin? ”

When the people heard this, their hearts were stirred.

Isn't it? On that day, they petitioned to surround the Yamen, and now they are still besieging the Yamen, and the Prince Zhongshun explained the things of the day clearly, but there is no matter today, and if they are known by the Holy Lord, will they not become "rebelling again"?

The majestic elders all shouted: "Hurry up, it's all scattered, don't surround here!" ”

"Yes, yes, it's about to disperse, don't misunderstand!"

The people turned and scattered.

At this moment, a fast horse suddenly came from the end of the street, and behind the fast horse, there were more than a dozen men who also rode horses, and they looked a little like the people of the Fifth Military Camp.

The people spoke in a noisy voice, muffling the sound of horses' hooves beating on the ground.

But Cheng Zhixian stood on top of the Danqi, seeing the fast horse approaching rapidly, and the knight was still wearing an iron-gray sunflower shirt, he immediately knew that someone from the palace was coming!

Although Cheng Zhixian had already prepared in his heart, when he saw someone coming from the palace, his heart still "chuckled", and his heartbeat accelerated rapidly, almost jumping out of his chest.

But even so, Cheng Zhixian is still very calm.

As the sound of horses' hooves gradually approached, Cheng Zhixian straightened his back.

The people also found the man, and when they saw the man's clothes and the burden on his back, they all fell back and gave way to the open space in front of the yamen.

The inner supervisor turned over and dismounted, and walked quickly to the front of the yamen. The men of the five military camps behind him also dismounted and lined up in two columns with great momentum.

The inner supervisor reprimanded: "Where is Cheng Jun!" ”

Seeing this attitude, the hearts of the common people were cold.

Cheng Zhixian said unhurriedly: "Xiaguan Cheng Jun." ”

The inner eunuch raised his eyebrows and glanced at him, and when he took out the Ming Huang holy decree, he didn't give Cheng Zhixian time to change clothes and burn incense to set up a case, unfolded the holy decree and read it out loud:

"Cheng Jun takes the order!"

"The minister takes the order." Cheng Jun lifted his clothes and knelt down.

The soldiers of the five military camps knelt on the ground, and the people also knelt all over the ground.

The inner supervisor said: "Fengtian carries the emperor, and the edict says: Cheng Jun, who knows the county, has no way to rule, has a suspicious heart, and has a heart of disobedience!" stripped of all official positions, handed over to the prison of the Criminal Department, and beheaded after the autumn! His family members are all used as official slaves, and their families are sold by others, so I admire this! ”

There was silence in front of the yamen. The people were stupefied.

The saint didn't even try it, so he directly arrested Cheng Zhixian and beheaded him after the autumn!

And what about them? Aren't they the same fate?

Cheng Zhixian heard the word "cut off", as if he had finally received the second shoe, although he was afraid, but more of the excitement and relief that the plan had succeeded.

"The sinner obeys." Cheng Zhixian kowtowed calmly.

Seeing that he was so calm and did not look panicked, the inner supervisor couldn't help but admire him.

As soon as the men of the five military camps swarmed up, they arrested Cheng Zhixian. Immediately after that, someone rushed into the yamen to arrest people.

The internal supervisor directly ordered people to escort Cheng Zhixian into the yamen and lock him up.

The people watched with trepidation as the internal supervisor and others pressed Cheng Zhixian into the yamen, and the door of the yamen slammed shut in front of their eyes, and everyone was stunned.

"This ...... Cheng Zhixian is going to be killed, let's ......"

"Holy Lord, let us go?"

The people were in disbelief.

Immediately after, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

There are even those with shallow eye sockets who have cried with joy.

"Thanks to the prince, he doesn't remember villains!" There are old people who wipe the tears from the corners of their eyes with moving.

"The prince interceded with us, so the saint saw it in his face and let us go."

"The prince was hurt by us, and he was willing to tell the truth, and did not take the opportunity to retaliate against us, we were afraid that we had misunderstood Prince Zhongshun in the past, he was clearly a bright and upright man!"

The people in front of the yamen scattered happily and hurried home to tell their families the good news.

And there were a few simple-dressed men in the crowd, who took advantage of the chaos to quietly hide in the dark alleys and quietly went out of the city.
