Romance Chinese Network ., the fastest update of the cute pet concubine: Evil Emperor, to hug the latest chapter!
She clenched her fists, unable to say anything about the poisonous contamination of the water in the lake and river, so she only said softly: "In this case, I will give you the hidden water in the city lord's mansion." ”
Everyone looked at each other.
In the end, they were simple croppers, they quickly came back to their senses and thanked Shen Miaoyan one after another.
Shen Miaoyan breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to order Han Xuzhi to release water to save people, when he saw a sudden commotion on the street, and a large wave of people rushed over!
It was a group of merchants living in the city, and they rushed over, crying and kneeling in front of the city lord's mansion: "Ask the county lord to save his life!" The water stored in our cellars has been sprinkled with poison! In the morning, when we went to fetch water, we saw a layer of dead rats floating on the water, which was terrifying! ”
Others chimed in.
For a while, there was a cry in front of the entire city lord's mansion.
One of the pot-bellied merchants cried, "Lord, if you are doing well, let us go to the river to carry water to drink?" Why did you fence the river for some reason? You want to fight for the world, our people in the northern county city have contributed hard and made money, and now you still want our lives?! ”
This is very unpleasant.
However, it was strange and caused others to echo it.
In a noisy cry, Shen Miaoyan tightly held the hand that was blowing clothes.
She had no way of telling the story that the rivers and lakes were polluted, otherwise it would have caused riots in the city.
However, she did not have any reason to stop them from going to the river to carry water to drink.
I don't know who was coaxing in the middle, and the group of people gradually changed from complaining at the beginning to scolding, and finally even stood up one after another, rushing towards the city lord's mansion, and everything in their mouths was unbearable.
Fu Yi and the others protected Shen Miaoyan behind them, "County Lord, let's go in first, right?" ”
When the words landed, a man with five big and three thick men took out a rotten egg out of nowhere, and shouted loudly: "Wei Tianjue, in vain we believe in you so much, but you don't even want to leave us a way to live, you go and die!" ”
As he spoke, he threw the egg in his hand violently.
Shen Miaoyan avoided half a step, and the egg smashed to the ground, immediately emitting a foul smell.
"What's the matter with you?! You don't even know that my lord is here for your good! Tian Xiang was furious, and stood in front of her waist and shouted.
However, the people in the riot would not listen to her, countless rotten eggs and rotten vegetable leaves smashed over, and the guards hurriedly escorted Shen Miaoyan into the city lord's mansion, and it took a lot of effort to close the Zhu Gate and insert the thick wooden latch.
There was still a commotion outside, and everyone was clamoring for Shen Miaoyan to come out and give them an explanation.
Shen Miaoyan's face was extremely cold, and his hands in his sleeves were tightly clenched into fists, this matter did not need to be thought about, someone must have done it deliberately.
That person is probably Xu Hongxuan.
However, the top priority was to appease the anger of those people, and she turned to Han Xuzhi: "How much water is still stored in our house?" ”
Han Xuzhi reported a number, she pondered for a moment, and said seriously: "Set up a water shop at the back gate, and distribute half of the water to the people in the city for emergency relief." In addition, let Shen Lianche come over to see me. ”
With that, he hurried to the backyard.
Lian Che played with a peach blossom that was about to bloom, and slowly stepped into the threshold: "I heard that my sister is looking for me, I don't know what it is?" ”
Shen Miaoyan stared at the map on the table, "Lian Che, Xu Hongxuan's current military camp is stationed in the leeward canyon of the upper reaches of the riverbank, you see that they are high mountains on both sides, and one side is facing the waterfront, if we outflank them from the mountain, can we catch them off guard?" ”
Lian Che glanced at the map, sat down next to her, and sniffed the faint fragrance of peach blossoms, "Sister, didn't you see the people in the city making trouble, so you were in a hurry?" ”
"You know?"
"It's hard to make such a big commotion, it's hard to think about it." Lian Che's voice was faint, his arm went around her, and he inserted the pink peach blossom into the white porcelain thin-necked vase on the windowsill, "It's just that my sister's idea is good, but I don't have time to put it into practice." ”
"Why don't you have time to practice?" Shen Miaoyan was unconvinced, "Although part of the water in the city was destroyed by Xu Hongxuan's people, the rest is enough to support us for several days——"
"County Lord, it's not good!" Tian Xiang rushed in with red eyes, "County Lord, we finally set up a water shop at the back door, and as soon as a few buckets of water were dispersed, some people were crowding and making trouble, and then somehow they fought with each other!" Those mobs went crazy and robbed us of our water, but in the midst of the fighting, they spilled it all on the ground! The guards were ordered to maintain discipline, and those mobs got machetes, axes and other things out of nowhere to fight with our guards! ”
Shen Miaoyan's eyebrows furrowed, and he immediately stood up: "You didn't hurt anyone, did you?!" ”
"How could it not be! Now the streets are in chaos, there is blood everywhere, not only the mob has been injured, but also many of our guards have been injured in the conflict! ”
"Oh no......" Shen Miaoyan secretly screamed, and hurriedly walked to the back door.
Lian Che held her wrist in time: "It's too late, the other party has already premeditated, and won't give us time to deal with it." Thinking about it, the entire city of Toyosu is now in chaos. If my sister believes me, it is better to abandon the city and find another way out. ”
"Abandon the city?!" Shen Miaoyan's eyes dilated slightly.
"Yes, abandon the city." The sound of the breeze and the moon suddenly sounded.
Shen Miaoyan looked over, Wei Sicheng was sitting in a low-key carriage, his slender fingers rolled up half of the curtain, and looked at her with a smile, "Everything has been packed, county lord, please get in the car." ”
Behind his carriage, sure enough, there was a cart full of things.
Shen Miaoyan's brows furrowed, "You ......"
"Those who do great things often need to make decisions on the spot." Wei Sicheng patted the vacant seat in the carriage, "County Lord, when the interruption continues, it will be chaotic." As soon as the county lord occupied Fengzhou, he issued an order prohibiting people from raising or buying slaves privately, and those large landlords who owned slaves had long held a grudge against the county lord. Now that Xu Hongxuan is secretly instigating, he will naturally contribute to him. After another hour, the county lord couldn't leave if he wanted to. ”
Shen Miaoyan was unwilling in her heart, but reason told her that what Wei Sicheng and Lian Che said was right.
She lowered her eyes and reluctantly got into the carriage.
The carriage drove out of the City Lord's Mansion in a low-key manner, and Shen Miaoyan quietly looked through the cracks in the curtains, and sure enough, he saw that the streets were full of chaos, and more and more people were instigated by people with intentions and developed into mobs, and they actually began to rob and fight openly.
And because the stored water source was destroyed, most of the people blocked the city gates, trying to pour out of the city to go to the banks of the river and to the lakes to fetch water to drink.
Two hundred soldiers opened the way, and Shen Miaoyan's carriage went out of the city gate smoothly.
She looked at the river bank in the distance, and saw that Wei Sicheng's soldiers were still guarding there, and no one was allowed to approach.
She secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to take a sip of tea to suppress the shock, but a large number of mobs poured out of the city, and the big man led by him held an axe and shouted hoarsely: "That Wei Tianjue is not a thing, he wants to live and die of thirst for us!" We must grab the riverbank, and we must not do what she wants! ”
