Chapter 40: Riots from Jiayuan County
It's been three days, it's been three days. In Jiayuan County, Ding Heng and his subordinates have been stationed here for three days. I have already sent people to the yamen of the state capital, and I am afraid that I will have to continue to stay here before the new county order comes. Thanks to the miraculous Soul Rejuvenation Pill and the careful care of Huangfu Yanran, in just three days, Ding Heng's injuries were almost better.
"General Ding, General Ding, please drink tea!" a steaming cup of fragrant tea was handed over.
"Presumptuous. Although Gao Yi is dead, before the official document of the imperial court arrives, he is still the rightful general soldier of the Great Yan Kingdom, and I am just a deputy general!" Ding Heng reprimanded lightly, but suddenly he felt that something was wrong.
"Huh, why are you?Huangfu girl?" Seeing the smiling soldier in front of him, Ding Heng took a long time before he realized that the other party was actually played by Huangfu Yanran. If it weren't for the other party's voice, I'm afraid I wouldn't really be able to recognize it.
"Come on, you. Huangfu Yanran pouted, "Gao Yi, that idiot is dead, and the position of the chief soldier has been vacated." In terms of qualifications, in terms of popularity, who else is there besides?"
"I have a lot of land and resources, outstanding people, and there are many people who are higher than Ding Heng, and Ding Heng is still self-aware of this. Ding Heng smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"!" Huangfu Yanran rolled his eyes, "I don't care what those guys are capable of." But they want to compete with my Ding Lang for the position of the chief soldier, and they are turning the sky upside down?"
"You!" Ding Heng was completely speechless. The Huangfu girl in front of her is not only beautiful, but in terms of personal strength, it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a woman who does not let her eyebrows go. But she has one of the worst things, when she talks to her about serious things, she always likes to mess around. It really makes people feel like they can't laugh or cry.
"By the way, why are you pretending to be a soldier? Do you think it's funny?" Ding Heng hurriedly changed the subject.
"Fun, do you think I'm such an immature person?" Huangfu Yanranxiu pointed at Ding Heng's head and poked lightly, "If it weren't for protecting you, the ghost would be willing to wear such ugly clothes!"
"I remember your obsidian accessibility is hidden"
"Stupid, if I hide my figure by your side, who knows if you will ignore my existence? How good it is to pretend to be a personal soldier, follow you every day, walk around your side, and make you forget me if you want to!" Huangfu Yanran put his arms around Ding Heng's neck and became coquettish.
Ding Heng's face turned red again.
"Giggle!" the Emperor let out a hearty laugh. She understood that the person in front of her was a slightly upright gentleman in Dayan Kingdom, and if she made a little affectionate move, the other party would blush. But that's where I was infatuated with him.
"Vice General Ding, Vice General Ding, something is wrong!" Just when the two were extremely affectionate, a soldier ran in in a panic. Seeing the intrusion of outsiders, Huangfu Yanran hurriedly took his hand off Ding Heng's neck.
"Tell me, what's going on?" Ding Heng coughed lightly twice, trying to bring his face back to normal.
"Adjutant General Ding!" the soldier looked at Huangfu Yanran, then at Ding Heng, and said, "A group of mobs have appeared in Jiayuan County, and they are attacking the official treasury of the county government with sticks in hand. The officials are almost overwhelmed, Adjutant General Ding, what should we do now?"
"Huh, why did they storm the official treasury of the county government?" Ding Hengqi said.
"Vice Admiral Yuding, a few days ago, didn't the thieves in Panlong Mountain bloody the county seat of Jiayuan! In that fire, many people's homes were burned down. They said they couldn't survive anymore, and they had to open the official treasury and dispel all the supplies inside!"
"Can't survive? How is it possible? Jiayuan County was hit by fire, but I had already opened the official treasury a few days ago and distributed some of the materials inside. I can't guarantee anything else, but it should be more than enough to maintain daily food and clothing. Why can't you live anymore?" Ding Heng was even more surprised.
"This... This ......" The soldier hesitated for a moment, but finally swallowed the words that had already reached his lips.
"You idiot, you don't understand this kind of thing, let me tell you, human nature is greedy, as long as you give them a little favor, they will want more sweetness. Presumably, those Diao people saw that you were new and thought you were so deceitful. So gather the crowd to make trouble!" Huangfu Yanran unceremoniously pointed at Ding Heng's head at once.
"So that's the case!" Ding Heng suddenly realized, and a trace of coldness slowly appeared in his eyes, "You say, do I really look so kind?"
Huangfu Yanran didn't answer, just shrugged her shoulders slightly, and then spread out her hands. "I understand!" Ding Heng nodded. It seems that I have to take some action, I want to let those who refuse to keep their lives know that although I, Ding Heng, have a kind face, my heart is not kind, and I will kill people when I get angry.
"Quickly gather the brothers and go with me to the accident site to have a look!" Ding Heng stood up after brushing the ground.
"The eldest husband is benevolent when he behaves in the world, and he is ruthless when he is ruthless. In the face of such a situation, we must be decisive and never drag mud and water. Ding Heng, I like you like this!" Huangfu Yanran looked at Ding Heng's eyes full of little stars. Sure enough, when you are infatuated with someone, the other person's casual every move looks so perfect to you.
"You!" and in the face of the other party's inexplicable excitement, Ding Heng could only smile bitterly and shake his head.
"Huh, do you have anything else to say?" When Ding Heng, who had withdrawn his attention, finally noticed the strange look on the face of the soldier who was following him.
"This... This one... Adjutant General Ding!" The soldier swallowed a mouthful of spit, and finally decided to speak, "Adjutant General Ding, you are of noble character, humble, and fair, and the brothers have nothing to say. But... But..."
"But what is it?" Ding Heng became more and more puzzled.
"Vice Admiral Ding, I didn't want to meddle in my business. But there are some things I have to say, you also need to pay attention to your daily life!" The soldier gritted his teeth, and finally decided to speak.
"Daily life, what's wrong with my daily life? Can you explain it clearly?" Ding Heng was even more curious. He is usually pure and has few desires, and never quarrels with others. Eating, drinking, and gambling have nothing to do with me, so what else should I pay attention to in my daily life?
"Vice General Ding!" the soldier didn't dare to look at Ding Heng's eyes, "The sage once said that the love of men and women is a major matter of human ethics, and it is understandable that it is natural to do so. However, the saint is very disgusted with people who have broken their sleeves!
"......" Ding Heng was stunned, and his white face suddenly became extremely embarrassed.
"Get out!" Huangfu Yanran, who was the first to come back to her senses, blushed, and she kicked out directly with a flying leg. The poor soldier directly crossed a graceful arc in the air.
......
In front of the official treasury of Jiayuan County, more than a dozen officials were holding knives and weapons, waiting solemnly. In front of them, a large group of people from Jiayuan County, armed with sticks and weapons, were extremely excited.
"You turtle sons, get out of the way for us!" a male duck-like voice sounded.
"Whoever dares to take a step forward should first ask us if the knife in our hands will be agreed?" the officials hurriedly threatened. Joke, behind them is the official treasury of the imperial court, once it is breached, they will lose their heads.
"Ghost son, what kind of cross? I only know that we are ruthless to the people, when the thieves of Panlong Mountain washed the county seat of Jiayuan County, why didn't you all go cross? Why did they all shrink into their shells like turtles?" A man with a roe head and a rat eyes squeezed out of the crowd.
"Folks. You judge this theory. A few days ago, the thieves of Panlong Mountain swept Jiayuan County in blood, and a fire has burned everything we have, and now we can't even get the most basic food and clothing. However, there are so many grain bedding hidden in the official treasury, and if we don't take them out at this time, when will we wait? Fellow villagers, they are clearly going to starve us to death and freeze to death!"
"You're a fool. A few days ago, didn't Vice General Ding distribute some of them to everyone? Why do you still say that there is no food and clothing?" said a servant.
", it's just such a little thing, it's not enough to fill in Lao Tzu's teeth!" the roe-headed rat-eyed man rolled his eyes, "There are so many in the official treasury, just share a little bit of us." I think that Vice Admiral Ding is clearly selfish and wants to keep it for himself!"
"You must know that the things in the official treasury were originally handed over by us, and they were originally our things. Folks, you are commenting on this theory, some people actually want to steal what belongs to us, do we agree?"
"No, never!" the crowd resounded a few sparsely echoed voices.
"Okay, since everyone said so, then rush in with me and take what belongs to us!" the roe-headed rat-eyed man roared and took the lead in the charge.
"Rush, rush!" a few people rushed away from the crowd, and then most of the crowd began to surge.
"Don't come, don't come!" The officials panicked, they understood that if so many people launched a madness, they would not be able to resist it at all with a dozen of them!
"Turtle son, don't get in the way of Lao Tzu, get out of the way for me!" The roe deer-headed rat-eyed man raised the short stick in his hand, aimed it at the head of the servant and smashed it down.
"Ah!" a scream, and the official fell down with his bleeding head in his arms.
"Rush, whoever grabs it is whoever's own, and if it's late, there's nothing!" the roe-headed rat-eyed man was in high spirits.
"Rush!" As soon as the roe deer-headed rat-eyed man said this, the eyes of the people who were still a little hesitant turned red. If it's late, there's nothing. People rushed to the treasury. The poor dozen or so servants were immediately drowned in the crowd.
"Smash me, smash the door open!" Looking at the big lock above the gate of the official treasury, the roe deer-headed rat-eyed man frowned. Suddenly, several people with instruments in their hands stepped forward, and there was a sound of ping-pong.
"Stop, I'll stop!" Just as the door of the official treasury was about to be smashed open, a majestic voice sounded behind everyone. But at this time, people don't pay attention to it at all, and at this moment their hearts have already been occupied by a thought, that is, rush in, there are many good things in it, whoever grabs it first will be who's, and if it's late, there will be nothing.
"The official treasury is the foundation of my Dayan country's security and people's stability, without the order of the government, anyone who storms the official treasury is to confront the imperial court and oppose the official government. There is only one way to end, and that is death. If anyone dares to doubt the words of this lieutenant, just try it!" the majestic voice was not at all annoyed by the ignorance of the crowd, and it still said to itself.
But it is strange to say that it is strange, and after hearing this sentence, many people who were originally noisy stopped their movements unconsciously.
Ding Heng smiled slightly, such a result had long been in his expectations. He understands that no matter where they are, no matter what time they are, the fear of ordinary people, the imperial court, and the government is hidden in their subconscious.
"You have to think clearly, trespassing into the official treasury without permission is tantamount to rebellion and rebellion. Not only are you guilty of a capital offense, but I am afraid that your family will also be affected. Listen to my words, you will disperse, and this vice general can act as if nothing happened, otherwise, this vice general will have to put down the chaos for the imperial court!" Ding Heng looked around behind him. Those sturdy soldiers suddenly realized, and raised their swords and weapons one after another, making a fierce and vicious appearance.
In front of these murderous soldiers, the people finally felt frightened, and they retreated. Although the abundant supplies in the official treasury are covetous, if the life is gone, what is the use of those things?
"Everyone calm down, don't be intimidated by this guy!" the roe-headed rat-eyed man shouted, "Don't listen to this kid's nonsense, we are persecuted by thieves in Panlong Mountain, and we really can't survive, so we went to the official treasury to get something that can support our families, what is the crime? Since ancient times, the people are the most important, and the king is light." The common people can't live anymore, so what do they care about the crime of not dying?"
"The surname Ding, don't use the laws of the court to scare me, do you know, what is the official * the people's rebellion? We were persecuted by the thieves in Panlong Mountain and had nothing but a cheap life. You're scaring me, who's afraid of whom?"
"Folks, don't be afraid, don't look at their fierce appearance, they are just dozens of people, they really make us * anxious, everyone can definitely tear them to shreds!"
"Yes, there are so many of us, are we still afraid of these dozens of officers and soldiers?" A few cunning people stopped first, and then more people who were unwilling to leave also began to stop.
The roe-headed rat-eyed man was even more daring, "The boy surnamed Ding, you now know what the anger of the people is, right? If you know each other, hurry up and take your people and roll away, otherwise, I will tear you apart!"
"Rabbit cub, you dare to threaten my Ding Heng, you are looking for death. Huangfu Yanran, who pretended to be Ding Heng's personal guard, was even more furious, and she wanted to act immediately.
"The Emperor... Xiao Qi, calm down and don't be impulsive!" Ding Heng hurriedly grabbed the hand of the angry Huangfu Yanran.
"My rabbit cub?" The roe deer-headed rat-eyed man looked at Ding Heng, and then at Huangfu Yanran, and smiled obscenely, "It's better than you rabbit!"
"Bastard!" Hearing that the other party dared to scold himself for being a rabbit, Huangfu Yanran was so angry that he was angry. But Ding Heng's hand held her tightly.
"You'd better keep your ears up and listen. I want you to understand that even though I look friendly, I'm also a murderer. If you don't want to die, let me leave quickly!" Ding Heng was also holding back the anger in his heart.
"Kill me, aren't you afraid of provoking these people and tearing you apart?" But Ding Heng's words not only did not intimidate the other party, but made the other party's momentum even more arrogant. The roe head rat-eyed man immediately stretched out his head towards Ding Heng.
"Boy, if you have the ability, you can stab this. If you don't have one, take the two things out of your crotch. ”
"You..." Ding Heng's face turned pale with anger.
Seeing Ding Heng's appearance, the roe head rat was even more arrogant, and he snatched the knife from the hand of a soldier and put it on his neck. Boy, the master is ready for you, if you have a kind, you can come at once!" The roe head rat-eyed man knew very well in his heart, don't say that the number of people on his side is far superior to the other party, just look at the other party's politeness, and I am afraid that he will not dare to use a knife against himself if he has ten guts.
But the roe-headed rat-eyed man was wrong this time. Not only was he wrong, he was wrong. He forgot that there is a saying in this world that a man must not be disguised.
