169.Chapter 169: Great Changes in Yangzhou!
Pei Yuanhao sat at the other end of the carriage, looked at me, and said coldly, "What are you looking at?" β
I glanced back at him, and although his face was cold, without the usual frightening anger, it was just cold enough to frighten me. So, without saying a word, I obediently retracted my hand and lowered the curtain.
However, at the moment when the curtain fell, suddenly, an earth-shattering loud noise came from a distance, booming, like a muffled thunder on a sunny day, deafening!
I subconsciously widened my glasses and looked at Pei Yuanhao.
What's wrong?! At this moment, everyone showed a look of astonishment and looked in the direction where the loud noise came from.
Pei Yuanhao was still calm, and did not immediately show a panicked look, but just stretched out his hand and lifted the curtain: "Hong Wenquan." β
Lord Hong, who was waiting outside, hurriedly ran over, with a panicked look on his face, but he still tried to calm himself down, and saluted respectfully: "Weichen is here." β
"What's going on?"
"This-" Hong Wen was completely embarrassed, and he couldn't answer, so he saw a pair of men and horses hurrying on the avenue not far ahead, it was the officers and soldiers guarding the city gate, and when they saw Hong Wenquan, they immediately knelt down and said, "Lord Hong." β
"What's going on?"
"Disaster victims, disaster victims are hitting the south city gate!"
"What?!"
Hong Wenquan was so frightened when he heard this, his face was like earth, and he was in a cold sweat, and Pei Yuanhao had already gotten out of the carriage, walked in front of them, and said in a deep voice: "What the hell is going on?" β
The soldiers guarding the city didn't know his identity, and seeing that his face was solemn, and he didn't know how to deal with it, Yang Yunhui stepped forward and said, "Say it quickly!" β
Those people glanced at Hong Wenquan, who was already at a loss, and they probably guessed the identity of the person in front of them, so they said honestly: "The victims of the disaster from several nearby provinces have been rushing here a few days ago, and the lord ordered the victims to be kept away from ten miles outside the attached city and not allowed to enter the city, but today, nearly 100 people have starved to death outside, and the victims are angry, so-"
Before they finished speaking, they were so frightened by Pei Yuanhao's blue face that they didn't dare to speak anymore.
And I sat in the carriage and was taken aback, I didn't expect Hong Wenquan to actually refuse the victims ten miles outside the city, if this continues, I am afraid that the victims will all starve to death, no wonder, they will be angry and go to the city gate.
Pei Yuanhao walked in front of Hong Wenquan step by step: "Why don't you open the city gate?!" β
"Hui Gong - Hui His Royal Highness," Hong Wenquan saw that the posture was wrong, so he knelt down and said: "The number of victims of the disaster this time is too much, and the food hoarding in Yangzhou City is simply not enough, if they are really let into the city, I am afraid there will be chaos." β
"If you don't let them into the city, there will be no chaos?"
"Thisβ"
Before his words could be spoken, Pei Yuanhao suddenly kicked over: "Bastard!" β
Hong Wenquan was kicked to the ground, and the people around him were all taken aback, and they hurriedly stepped forward, but as soon as they looked at the posture in front of them, they knew that Pei Yuanhao was so angry that he didn't dare to say anything.
At this time, I also got off the carriage and walked to Pei Yuanhao's side: "Your Highness." β
Pei Yuanhao ignored me, turned around and ordered: "Order the people of the state capital to come out immediately to be on guard, and the others will go with the palace!" β
