Yunzhou has been locked down.

When Zhao Ning led the army to battle yesterday, he asked Di Cambodia to issue an order to close the city gate in order to cut off all communication inside and outside the city.

During the war, this was an inevitable measure, and no one knew if there were or how many Beihu spies were in Yunzhou City. The city defense is false and the real and the various situations in the city, and the other party must not be allowed to ventilate.

It is not only the city gate that is closed, but also the patrol soldiers are all over the city, and checkpoints are set up at the square gate, and all squares and streets are also under closed control.

Although the Beihu army has not yet reached Yunzhou City, they have captured Xihe City before, and they may come to the city when they will come, and Yunzhou must prepare early.

In the offensive and defensive battles of the city, the defenders of the city not only need to deal with the enemies outside the city, but also need to guard against potential threats inside the city.

Confined the people to their houses as much as possible, prevented them from moving around the streets, prevented them from gathering in three or five groups, and centralized distribution and sale of daily necessities was the proper meaning of controlling the interior of the city when the war situation was dangerous.

"My lord, are we controlling the city too strictly? The Beihu army is really going to come to the city, and we also have to mobilize the young and strong to transport equipment and assist in defending the city, now we are all locked up, what will we do in the future?"

Di Cambodia led a team of officials to patrol the streets, and the accompanying governor of the Assassin Prefecture questioned Di Cambodia's strict lockdown order.

At present, Di Cambodia's reputation in the Yunzhou government is not good, and he is not very well received by the officials, because he not only dealt with the new Cangcao director He Huanzhi, but also counted all the treasury materials and cut off the benefits of the officials.

"This is a national war, a time of life and death for the dynasty, and it is a matter of tens of millions of people's lives, no matter how strict the control is, it is not too much. As for the young and strong, it is not troublesome to register the list and transfer it in an orderly manner during wartime. ”

Di Cambodia said this solemnly, and glanced back at Changshi, "What this official can't understand is why the officials of Yunzhou refuse to abandon their selfishness and devote themselves to the public at such a time!"

"Don't you know that once Yunzhou is defeated, we will all be wiped out?

Changshi, who was reprimanded by him in person, immediately became very ugly, but Di Cambodia's expected repentance did not happen, and the other party just smiled and gave his hand:

"What your lord said is that we will do our best. ”

When Di Cambodia was angry because he really couldn't understand the other party's words and deeds, he heard someone in the team behind him muttering quietly for a while.

"It's not something I can control if I win or lose, if I don't make money, won't everyone make money? Yunzhou has been saved, the credit is from above, I have no background and no background, what benefits can I get?

"Yunzhou has not been saved, as long as there is silver, where can you go to live a nourishing life? What is the nest and eggs, can the Hu people still kill all the Qi people? Who will not say empty words, but the truth is that it is his own who grasps it in his hands. ”

Di Cambodia faintly heard this, and couldn't help but be furious, and turned around to find out this person, but found that all the officials were watching their noses and noses, and no one had anything unusual.

As if it wasn't said by any of them, and as if every one of them had said it.

Obviously, he can't find out "this person".

Di Cambodia only felt cold all over his body, like falling into an ice cave. These officials in Yunzhou made him feel hopeless.

At this moment, in a private house not far away, there was a sudden commotion, and the fierce scolding was mixed with the sound of fighting, as well as the movement of debris overturning, obviously someone was fighting.

Di Cambodia's face sank, the enemy is current, what Yunzhou needs most is internal stability, he didn't care about the speaker who was destined to be found, and hurriedly walked over.

Entering the gate of the house, Di Cambodia found that the tables, chairs, tea bowls, and chess pieces in the courtyard had fallen to the ground, and two men dressed in home clothes were knocked to the ground, their noses were blue and their faces were swollen, and the women were crying while persuading the children.

And a group of errand officers dressed in the costumes of the officials were scolding them arrogantly, and some of them were throwing tea bowls and chessboards, as if these things were all made by Beihu.

Seeing Di Cambodia and the others coming in, the servants stopped and hurriedly came over to salute.

"What's going on?" Di Khan first helped the man who had fallen to the ground with a sad and angry face to his feet, and then turned back and asked the errand who had done it.

"Back to the adult, these Diao people do not obey the orders of the adults and dare to interfere with the overall situation of the national war, it is really a great crime, and the small duty is where the rules must be taught!"

A sharp-eared monkey cheek servant, his waist is bent very flatteringly, but his face is righteous for the public and the people.

This person's surname is Xu, because he is thin and small, the officers in the yamen call him Xu Monkey, he is the object of everyone's ridicule, he is at the bottom of the errand service, and he has never had any dignity and sense of existence in the face of his colleagues.

But this is such a person, relying on his status as a servant, in front of the common people, he is always majestic, often beating people with sticks, and the old people and children on the street are especially afraid of him.

Other servants may often bully civilians, but they don't do much to the elderly and children, Xu Monkey not only has no scruples, but when he does it to such a weak person, he is the most cruel and violent.

There are not a few women whose bones have been broken by him.

A few years ago, when Xu Monkey was doing something to a child, he was broken by a passing Tsing Yi knifeman, and since then he has become a lame monkey, because of the other party's warning, he no longer dares to bully the weak.

But after the outbreak of the war to return to China, especially after Di Cambodia ordered the closure of the city and forbade the people from gathering together, he was alive again, as if he had received a holy decree, his waist hardened, and he felt that no one dared to disadvantage him at this time.

At the end of the day, Xu Monkey held the tiger skin banner that hindered the national war, and used sticks to whip people wantonly.

Seeing Di Cambodia at this time, he asked him why he hit people and threw things, and hurriedly put on a big hat and deducted it for the few people who were him: "My lord has repeatedly ordered that during the war, it is best for the people of Yunzhou to stay at home and not gather with each other."

"At this time, no one knows, whether there are Beihu spies and meticulous works in Yunzhou City, whether they will be in tandem with each other, what tricks are plotted, and the people will have their own duties, so as not to harm the overall situation of the national war!"

Seeing that Di Khan Zhi did not speak, Xu Monkey thought that the other party thought that he had done a good job, so he pointed to those who were beaten, and said angrily:

"But these people are openly gathered in the courtyard in broad daylight, with the door open, who knows what they are plotting? We didn't arrest them and put them in prison, we just gave them face, but they still dare to resist, the adults say, can the little ones not beat them?"

Di Cambodia looked at the people, and was about to ask, when a man who was beaten and his face was covered with blood immediately said angrily:

"Our family is playing chess in our own yard, and this is also hindering the overall situation of the national war? The government notice only tells us not to get together with others, so do we have to separate our family?

As soon as Xu Monkey heard that the other party still dared to quibble, he was immediately furious, and he raised his foot to kick the other party: "Straight lady thief, you dare to talk back, I think you are Beihu Xizuo!"

"Bastard!"

Di Cambodia was so angry that he was angry: "People are playing chess in their own homes, what does it matter to you, you trespass on people's houses, beat people regardless of right and wrong, if the government is your family, you can do whatever you want?"

"Take chicken feathers as arrows, and dare to speak out, it's really angry with the official, and you don't apologize to others?!"

Xu Monkey was scolded by Di Cambodia in person, and he didn't dare to disobey the other party's will, so he could only apologize to the person who was injured by him.

Di Cambodia personally apologized to the family, and then left the family's door.

He was indignant in his heart, and his face was gloomy along the way.

He never imagined that his orders would be carried out by his subordinates like this.

Are the hearts of the people in Yunzhou so bad?

No, it's not the people of Yunzhou who have a problem, the national war just began, and the people of Yunzhou donated countless money, and there are many people who volunteered to help repair the city defense.

That is the people in the public gate, and the hearts of the people are broken.

Why is this happening?

What to do?

Di Cambodia's worries are burning.

Before he got out of this area, Di Khan Zhi found an old man in rags, sitting on the corner of the street with a sad face, and was tearing off a strip of cloth from his shirt with the teeth of the missing front teeth, and bandaging the bleeding wound on his forehead.

Di Khan's heart ached, and he hurriedly stepped forward to ask why the other party was injured.

At first, the gray-haired old man was still very afraid of him, but after he took out the elixir and continued to care for him, he finally let go of some of his defenses, and sighed and talked about what happened to him.

Through the other party's narration, Di Khan Zhi knew that this poor old man had no children and no daughters, was a waste picker, and occasionally helped some small shops to do handymen, barely surviving.

This year, I finally survived the cold winter, and I thought that everything would be better in the warm spring season, but I didn't expect Yunzhou to suddenly close the city and not allow pedestrians to appear in the streets and alleys.

But in order to eat a mouthful, he had to move around, so he was beaten violently on the street by the street patrol officials in the name of disturbing order, and he was bleeding and wounded, and he was about to die tragically on the street.

After listening to the old man's story, Di Cambodia was so angry that his eyes were split, and he got up and asked the officials behind him who were inspecting this area, asking them to call people over, apologize to the old man in person, and properly arrange the other party's future life.

Before leaving, Di Cambodia took out the broken silver he carried with him and gave it to the old man.

After inspecting the city for a long time, Di Khan saw all kinds of good and bad situations, and at night, he dragged his tired mind and planned to go back to the assassination mansion.

Before he got on the horse, Di Cambodia's eyes suddenly flashed, and when he looked closely, he found that there were two more people who were thrown on the ground in front of him, and the only one standing was Zhao Ning, who should have been in Xihe City.

"I've seen General Zhao!" Seeing Zhao Ning's return, Di Khan was overjoyed, and hurriedly saluted, and was about to open his mouth to praise the other party's victory in Xihe City, but Zhao Ning took the lead in opening his mouth with an unkind face.

"Master Di, I asked you to blockade Yunzhou City and put an end to exchanges between inside and outside the city, did you not hear the general's military orders clearly?"
