415. Fly a little longer
"Punish the murderers severely, pay the debt with blood!"
"The Song people are mad, blaspheme my gods, and slaughter my compatriots......
"Bullying others with power, abusing the widows of small countries, being unkind and unjust, and becoming the suzerain of the kingdom in vain!"
"The envoys of the Song Dynasty were arrogant and domineering, treating my officials and ministers as slaves and maids, wantonly beating and insulting, and even more vicious, when my compatriots were ants, trampling and maiming for no reason! Although I occupy a small city, I am not boneless and courageless, and the hot-blooded people are all united, and it is urgent to take revenge!"
"Song Dog, get out of Dazhan! Song Dog get out of Dazhan! ……」
The sound of angry shouts rolled in like a sea of mountains, clearly entering the Zhang family's mansion and into the ears of Qian Long and others.
Most of them are in Champa language, with a few out-of-tune Chinese words mixed in.
After Su Liye's translation, Qian Long understood the meaning, and his face did not change much, but his brows were slightly locked.
"It's a good show......
Surier was a little puzzled, "Good show?"
"Hmm, Brother Su shouldn't think that the people outside here are all filled with righteous indignation and come spontaneously."
"This ...... With all due respect, Brother Xian sometimes does have a slight misconduct in his actions, especially yesterday's events, which inevitably arouse some people's resentment."
Hearing Suriya say that he had acted improperly, Qian Long didn't get angry but just laughed secretly, and he didn't intend to explain to him that he did it on purpose.
"What Brother Su said seems to be right, but, judging from the momentum outside, there must be at least thousands of people, and the slogans are quite orderly, to say that this is a loose and sandy people, just by a moment of anger, I don't believe it......
Suriya was stunned, "In this way, this thing is indeed evil...... Could it be that someone is plotting and agitating behind the scenes, or even the person who set up the game yesterday is unwilling to fail, so he repeats the old trick?"
"Approximately." Qian Long was not sure, wiped his face and said, "Maybe it's not that simple, in short, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth."
As he was talking, Pu Shiwen and a few scribes came in a panic.
"Commander Qian, it's not a good thing! Now there are countless people outside who occupy the city and gather to make trouble, and they are menacing, I am afraid that they will rush in at any time, this place is too dangerous, it is better for us to evacuate quickly."
Qian Long raised his eyebrows and glared at Pu Shiwen, "What are you panicking about!?" Your appearance makes outsiders look at it, and they think that my Da Song is all cowardly and courageless!"
Being scolded like this, Pu Shiwen immediately shrunk his neck, and his face turned bitter, "The lower official is out of shape, please ask Commander Qian to forgive me, it's just... It's just that the gentleman doesn't erect a dangerous wall, and we still have the heavy responsibility of His Royal Highness King Yan, so we have to keep our useful body first."
If you are afraid of death, you are afraid of death, and you can pull out a basket of big truths, which is really the essence of the scholar at this time.
Of course, Qian Long was very contemptuous of this, but when he saw that the scribes were also full of panic, he breathed a sigh of relief, "You don't have to be too frightened, isn't it just a little bit of commotion, there are still nearly a thousand Zhancheng officials and soldiers outside to protect us, and we ourselves have nearly a hundred armor soldiers, how can they easily break in, just put your heart back in your stomach, I will be measured."
After saying this, he ordered the sergeant to go to the outer wall in full armor.
Pu Shiwen and the scribes were still worried, but they didn't want to say anything, and they refused to leave Qian Long's courtyard, as if they were afraid that Qian Long would leave them and run away alone.
It didn't take long for Zhang Yangfan to come in a hurry with a group of servants.
Zhang Yangfan tried his best to stay calm, but his forehead was full of cold sweat, and he couldn't hide the anxiety and panic in his eyes, "Commander Qian, Pu Chengfeng, the Han family cares about the homeland, and is willing to contribute to the imperial court, but it can't suffer unjustified disasters because of this."
"Huh!?" Qian Long's face showed displeasure and stared at Zhang Yangfan, "What? Zhang Yuanwai regretted receiving us and others, and now he wants to send the plague god?"
"No, no, no, Commander Qian misunderstood, misunderstood..." Zhang Yangfan's expression turned pale, he raised his hand and hit his mouth several times, and hurriedly remedied, "Look at my mouth, I talk nonsense when I encounter something, old decay is not what I mean, what I want to say is that what is going on in this situation right now, I don't know if it can be useful for old decay."
Fang, as long as this crisis can be solved, the old man must go all out, no matter what, the Han family has settled in Zhancheng for a hundred years, and they can find some connections among the government and the people......
Qian Long put away his anger at this time, and said unhurriedly, "The wind knows the strength of the grass, Qian Mou said that Zhang Yuanwai is not a snob, this time he advances and retreats with life and death, and there will be blessings and blessings in the next day, as for what is going on now, Qian Mou is not clear for the time being, but I don't know if Zhang Yuanwai has a way to find out one or two?"
Zhang Yangfan breathed a sigh of relief, grabbed his sleeve and wiped the sweat on his forehead, and said with a wry smile, "Those people outside who occupy the city seem to be crazy, surrounding the Han family, and it is difficult for flies to fly out at this time, in addition, several shops of the Han family in the city have been smashed and looted, and the servants who went out to buy daily ingredients ran into walls everywhere, and all the merchants were unwilling or afraid to sell, and many family servants were besieged and beaten, and almost lost their lives......
At this time, Qian Long noticed that several of the Zhang family's subordinates had blue noses, swollen faces and ragged clothes, and their eyes couldn't help but become solemn.
"It's so serious!? Doesn't this mean that the entire city of Buddha vows is unkind to us? It's really a big deal, far beyond Qian's expectations......
Pu Shiwen couldn't help but interject, "Are they trying to trap us to death and starve to death?"
Everyone present couldn't help but be very nervous when they heard this, yes, even if the officials and soldiers of Zhancheng could stop those people and thugs rushing in, they wouldn't be able to hold out for a few days without food supplements.
Qian Long glanced at Pu Shiwen dissatisfiedly, "Don't mess with yourself, Zhang Yuanwai, even if you can't buy supplies, there should always be a store of grain in the house."
"Yes, yes, there must be, but there are more than 100 people who need it, I'm afraid it won't be long before it is supplied, but ......" Speaking of this, Zhang Yangfan stopped talking.
Qianlong couldn't help but be curious, "But what? Zhang Yuanwai said it directly."
"Nothing, nothing, old decay means that even if you are hungry, you will do your best to ensure that the mission has sufficient supplies." Zhang Yangfan hurriedly replied.
Qian Long didn't care if he was insincere, and comforted him casually, "Oh, this is not necessary, how can there be a guest who is full of food and drink but makes the host hungry, Zhang Yuanwai and rest assured, Qian will definitely not let things develop to that point."
Seeing that Qian Long looked confident, Zhang Yangfan's eyes lit up, "What is Commander Qian's strategy?"
"Don't worry, let the arrows fly for a while......
Qian Long smiled indifferently and raised his eyes to look at the sky outside.
Outside Zhang's house, all the streets and alleys were filled with angry crowds, some carrying statues of Brahmanical gods, others holding scriptures or burning oil lamps, and some holding wooden flags with the names of the deceased written on them.
The people of this shape kept waving their arms in the direction of Zhang's house, shouting loudly and vigorously, although the content of each crowd was different, they were all full of anger.
Fortunately, these crowds were still some distance away from Zhang's house and stopped outside the defensive circle set up by the officials and soldiers of Zhancheng.
The officers and soldiers at every passage were extremely nervous at this time, standing side by side on the human wall, and the sharp knives and guns were all pointed at the crowd, so that the violent crowd still maintained a trace of calm, and did not dare to collide at will.
In a small building inside the defensive circle, Bao Bald looked out of the window surrounded by a group of officers, observing the movement of the crowd.
"Shangqing, the situation in front of us is really dangerous, we can't always be so passive."
"Those Song people are not a good thing, they are too rampant, if you want me to say that you should simply withdraw the soldiers, let these people go, and teach them a hard lesson."
"What nonsense? Did you deliberately cause trouble for Shangqing, the king handed over the protection of the Song envoy to Shangqing, if something really happened, then the king would be able to surrender his guilt openly!"
"That's right, although Song Guo is not as good as before, there are still some fights, and we can't really anger them, otherwise Yue Guo and Zhenla will definitely attack us under the banner of standing up for Song Guo."
"In that case, I think it's better to expel the crowd as soon as possible, and if you really meet someone who dares to resist, it's a big deal to kill a few."
These officers around you say a word, and you listen quietly
After a while, he waved his hand lazily.
"You all don't fight, I have my own opinions in my heart, hmph, I really don't want to tell the truth to the king, but well, I can't get used to the Song envoys, especially the yellow-mouthed child surnamed Qian, who actually wants to manipulate me, hehe, they Song people have a saying, called strong dragons do not suppress the head snake, so take this opportunity to let them suffer and understand who has the final say here, lest they still have their nostrils to the sky in the future and act recklessly."
Officers, you look at me, I'll look at you, and then one of them asked, "What do you mean, let's just keep it the way we are?"
Bao Bao Bald nodded, "Roughly maintain the status quo, and occasionally make a slight mistake, put more pressure on the inside, and wait for when Song Envoy Sue comes to beg me, and when will I consider relieving them."
The officers all said that they understood, but one officer hesitated for a while and then said, "These thousands of people gathering are extraordinary, there must be someone behind the instigation, I think Shangqing should be more careful, in case there will be a conspiracy against you."
Immediately, Bao Bald's face sank, and he looked at the officer, "Hmph, you can think of it, can't I think of it?" This kind of thing is not something you should worry about, doing your part is the right way, okay, you all go on patrol, watch more of your soldiers, if something goes wrong, don't blame me for military law!"
Seeing the boss's face change, the officers didn't dare to linger longer, so they slipped downstairs to their respective posts.
At the same time, they all thought that the person who was manipulating behind the scenes this time was their own boss, otherwise why would they react so much.
I'm afraid that this also involves a power struggle between the top levels, and if you can, don't participate.
Bao Bao Bald didn't think about the thoughts of his subordinates, but stayed at the window, but what he saw was not the crowd of troublemakers, but the Zhang family's mansion.
I don't know if it was because of what happened just now, or because I thought of Qian Long's fooling of him, a little annoyance and anger appeared on his face, and he muttered, "Huangkou Xiaoer, now that you have your little life in my hands, do you dare to speak out!?" What is the turn of you outsiders to interfere in my family affairs!?"
