Chapter 125: Demonstrations

Slogans were shouted from the mountains and tsunamis, and the atmosphere of the demonstrators became more and more enthusiastic. [Ran^Text^Library] []

At this moment, a person came out of the front row of the demonstrator, this person was the businessman who came to our school this morning to summon the strike, walked to the front of the crowd, he waved his hand to the crowd, and said: "Please be quiet, the purpose of our coming today is to petition and express the people's livelihood, and now I will read to you a copy of the petition that we have written, and if it is passed, I will submit this petition to the provincial governor to express the voice of the people." ”

"Okay, Brother Tian, we support you!" The people around him obviously knew this person, and many of them still called his name, and everyone supported him one after another.

Then the businessman surnamed Tian had already begun to read the petition aloud in front of everyone.

"Lord Governor, we are all loyal citizens of the Shenghua Empire, supporting imperial power and caring about the rise and fall of the Shenghua Empire. But recently, I heard that the imperial court wants to sell the magic railway construction rights of the Shenghua Empire to other empires, and we are very puzzled, why should I sell the Shenghua Empire's sons and daughters to build roads on their own if they have the funds to build their own roads......

He wrote more than 2,000 words, stating the interests and disadvantages, and the reason was well-founded, and finally the man shouted loudly: "...... If the interests of my Shenghua Empire are transferred to others, it will make my long-tired Shenghua Empire's national strength decay, and transferring the lifeblood to others is tantamount to leading the snake to the upper body, so I implore you to convey the wishes of the people of our Xiangnan Province, hoping that the imperial court will take back the order and not sell my Shenghua right to build roads to other imperial merchants!"

After reading the petition, the businessman surnamed Natian asked in a loud voice, "Can you read this petition?"

"Yes, support, resolute support!" replied to the crowd around him.

"Since you have agreed, I will present this petition to the Governor, and ask him to express our voice to the present Emperor. With that, he had folded the petition and stuffed it into an envelope.

At this moment, several deputies came out of the demonstrators, who were of course also the leaders of the Xiangnan Provincial Railway Preparation Association, and they walked to the provincial governor's palace with the businessman surnamed Tian and handed over the petition to the soldiers in front of the provincial governor's palace, and the process went smoothly.

The soldiers who received the petition immediately ran into the governor's palace to report.

The demonstrators only shouted slogans on the spot, did not make radical moves, and everything proceeded in an orderly manner.

However, the soldier did not come out after entering the provincial governor's mansion for a long time, and it is estimated that the provincial governors did not dare to make a hasty statement on such an important decision, and this is not something they can decide at all, they need to discuss, and everyone understands.

But after a long time, the crowd outside was already anxious, and the crowd waiting outside also became agitated.

"Why hasn't the governor given us an answer?"

"Don't they dare to come out to meet people, and want to be shrunken turtles?"

"Let's go inside and ask the governor!"

"Governor, come out!"

"Governor, come out!"

......

Tens of thousands of people gathered together, and they were all waiting a little anxiously, and gradually some people couldn't control their emotions, some people were anxious to question the provincial governor, and some people wanted the provincial governor to come out and give an answer, which instantly made the situation in the square begin to be chaotic, and there were already people in front of them who had friction with the soldiers defending the provincial governor's mansion.

At this time, we students began to worry, if the officers and soldiers really fought with the people, the nature of this matter would change, and we might also be listed as rebels, I saw that behind those soldiers, about thirty meters away, there was a row of magic recruits, they were holding a magic staff in their right hands, and in their left hands they were holding an arrow as big as a cannonball, that arrow was the weapon they used to cover their shame, and the magic staff on their right hand was said to be an advanced magic staff purchased from other empires, equipped with soldiers, and the magic staff was obviously used to increase the magic power and speed of magic users, this is now the most advanced magic recruit in the Shenghua Empire.

"Calm down, everyone!

The people who are preparing to build the Xiangnan Railway Association are trying their best to prevent the impact of the people in the front row, but it seems that the situation is about to get worse, after all, there are too many people coming today, there are tens of thousands of people, and not a few people can stop it.

"Let's get out of here!"

Xiao Feng and several other classmates were obviously a little nervous, after all, they were only thirteen or fourteen-year-old children, and they knew that the situation was going to deteriorate, and their own strength was likely to be affected in the chaotic crowd, so they suggested leaving here.

I glanced at Brother Rundong.

He obviously realized how dangerous this situation was for a few of us, but he was obviously a little reluctant and didn't answer us, Brother Rundong raised his eyes very expectantly and glanced at the door of the Provincial Governor's Mansion again, and then his eyes suddenly lit up.

Seeing this, we also looked in that direction, just behind the crowd in front of the door and some soldiers collided, a group of people suddenly poured out in front of the door of the provincial governor's mansion, and looking at the armor and clothing on their bodies, it was obvious that they were a group of big officials, all of them were fresh armor, as if they were going to battle, in the face of today's situation, these officials were obviously prepared for the worst.

"The Provincial Governor has arrived!"

Suddenly, an official who came out of front shouted like a thunderbolt.

The voice was unusually loud, echoing in the huge square of tens of thousands of people, and everyone could hear it clearly.

Hearing this shout, the people in front of the square who were still trying to pour into the provincial governor's mansion all stopped the momentum of the front surge, just from the voice of the shouter, everyone can roughly guess, this person is at least the strength of the fighting master, of course, everyone is not afraid of this person, there are thousands of fighters in the square, even if the other party's strength is stronger, it is not stronger than everyone, the key is that everyone heard that the provincial governor finally came out to face everyone, I don't know what the provincial governor will give everyone.

In front of the door of the Provincial Governor's Mansion, the officials in various armors who came out first were lined up left and right, and then from the Provincial Governor's Mansion came out a person with a white complexion, thin eyebrows and phoenix eyes, and a feminine face.

It is said that Lord Yu, the provincial governor, is already a cultivator at the level of a great fighter.

Seeing the appearance of the provincial governor, several representatives of the Xiangnan Railway Preparation Association immediately stepped forward and gave a salute first, after all, the activities they organized this time were only demonstrations, not rebellions, and they must first show their willingness to settle peacefully, so that there would not be a situation out of control.

At this time, the businessman surnamed Tian stepped forward and said proudly: "Your Excellency the Provincial Governor, we are several representatives of the Xiangnan Railway Preparation Association, and our intentions are written in the petition, I believe that the Provincial Governor has already read it, we don't want to make trouble, we just don't want to see the interests of the Shenghua Empire betrayed to foreigners, this is not only us, but also the meaning of all the people of Xiangnan Province, I don't know if the Provincial Governor can give me an explanation." ”

"I've read your petition. ”

Although the voice of the provincial governor was feminine and not high, it spread far away, and most of the people in the square could hear it, obviously he used his fighting spirit to push the voice and let everyone hear it, so as to calm the anger of the people, and then he lowered his head slightly and continued to say softly: "But you also know that this is a decision made by the imperial court, and we, as lower-level officials, can only implement it according to the above meaning, but your opinion, I will try to let the current emperor and the officials in the court know." ”

Listening to the meaning of the provincial governor, he also has the intention of a peaceful settlement, after all, there are too many people in front of him, this time the petition does express the voice of the people, but his answer is a little ambiguous, and before the people of the Xiangnan Provincial Railway Preparation Association can speak, the people next to him immediately shouted.

"What is decided from above, and implemented below?"

"Did the people above let you betray the country, and you also carried it out?"

"It's just that we don't want to hear your vague answer, give us a quasi-letter!"

......

Most of the people around them are big and coarse, and they don't want to listen to the way they talk about kicking leather balls and playing tai chi in the officialdom, they just want to hear these officials give a clear statement.

His face sank, and the provincial governor's face was obviously displeased, and his face looked a little depressed at the moment, no one had ever dared to talk to him like this before, so he wanted to show his official authority, and wanted to let the people around him know that he was very unhappy as a provincial magistrate.

If it is in the officialdom, such an attitude will definitely make the officials at all levels below tremble and immediately shut up, but there are no officials standing in front of him today, all are outspoken and fast-talking ordinary people, hundreds of people continue to say sarcastically and sarcastically, and continue to say that they want to give an explanation, which makes the official authority that the provincial governor just threw out completely smashed to the ground, and did not play any role, and some people even scolded him behind his back, bullshit!

The scene did not calm down, and none of the ordinary people around him had any intention of saving face for the provincial governor.

The people who were preparing for the establishment of the Xiangnan Railway did not speak, and they could also hear that the provincial governor had the intention of shirking, so it was better to let the surrounding people put some pressure on the provincial governor and let him contribute to the interests of the people.

His face has been pulled down, and he is the provincial governor, and he doesn't want to be scolded by the people to give in, and the provincial governor Yu is still in a gloomy stalemate with a cold face.

The scene is a bit difficult, and neither side wants to budge at the moment, which makes things tend to be intensified again.

Just when the scene was so stiff that it made people's hearts palpitate, and both sides didn't know how the situation would end, suddenly, a loud voice came from among the officials behind the provincial governor: "I'll say something for the provincial governor!"

This person's voice is unusually strong, full of confidence, strong and powerful, and the strength of this person listening to the voice should be on par with the provincial governor.

The people in the square all looked at the official, that person was burly, with thick eyebrows and a face of Chinese characters, wearing a red armor, and a powerful coercive momentum on his body, it can be seen from the resolute and awe-inspiring bearing on this person's face that this person is not a slippery person, he should belong to a powerful person, and everyone can see that this person's official uniform is slightly different from other military attachés, in addition to the normal armor, he has a white cloak behind him.

"Military attache of the new army, this is the military attache of the new army of magic!"

"That's the commander-in-chief of the new magic army, Lord Jiao!"

"This Master Jiao used to be a partial commander at the level of a great fighter, but later he learned magic and was promoted to the commander-in-chief of the new magic army. ”

......

Someone who knew the official immediately whispered an excited introduction to the surrounding people
