Chapter 981: The King of the Southwest is coming, stop it!
"It's the King of the Southwest!"
In the crowd, I don't know who suddenly shouted.
All kinds of noisy voices followed.
Seeing this, Zhu Tai panicked even more.
Rebellion! Lin Qingfeng: Is this really going to rebel? Cold sweat oozed from his forehead, and he was caught between the countless anti-thief armies and distant ships, and he couldn't escape if he wanted to.
Farther away, countless officers and soldiers were already approaching.
Zhang Weimin looked at the slowly approaching ship, and the corners of his mouth hooked up an inexplicable smile.
Hua Xingwen beside him looked a little weak, and his voice trembled slightly, "Zhang...... Master Zhang, Lin Qingfeng is already here, how can you ...... What to do? ”
"Hold steady!"
Zhang Weimin said calmly, "It's him who should panic, let them make trouble first, and we'll go over later." ”
He looked calm and confident.
The hustle and bustle on the wharf is also getting louder and louder, and the shouts of "the court is mediocre, and the southwest is king" are getting louder and louder, deafening.
On the deck, Lin Bai noticed the movement on the dock and twisted his eyebrows slightly.
Gu Linger said curiously: "They seem to be welcoming the husband, and the news that the husband is coming has already spread?" ”
Wu Qiaojun frowned and said, "Didn't they all say that the husband took away the businessmen and funds?" ”
If this is the case, the Ezhou workers should hate the husband.
Even if it is not hated, it will definitely not be popular, but looking at the crowd on the dock at the moment, it is obviously a little abnormal.
As the ship approached, the call became clearer.
Gu Linger's face suddenly changed a little, "They seem to have rebelled, and under the banner of their husband?" ”
Wu Qiaojun didn't react.
Lin Bai was the same, but his brows were furrowed even tighter.
Yan Gang led a group of palace guards to guard against all kinds of accidents at any time.
"It's really the King of the Southwest, the King of the Southwest is here!"
There was a boiling sound on the docks.
At the same time, behind the dock, a large group of officers and soldiers also followed, with long knives in their hands, directly blocking the huge pier.
The workers on the dock were almost all bewitched, and they were easily won in the prefect's yamen before, and many people didn't know what the situation was.
Now in this spacious dock, seeing so many soldiers with long swords and bright armor, they are obviously a little panicked.
The scene suddenly became a little riotous.
But those officers and soldiers didn't care about this, and the middle-aged general at the head shouted: "Bold fanatics, dare to storm the yamen and openly rebel, all of them will be taken by this general, if there is any disobedience, there will be no forgiveness!" ”
"Kill!"
Countless soldiers shouted in unison, and at the same time, murderous aura surged up.
These ordinary workers have never seen such a scene.
The scene was instantly chaotic.
But those soldiers didn't care about this, and they raised their swords and fell, but those who dared to storm the army and tried to flee were all killed.
In an instant, all kinds of screams came, blood splattered, some people were injured and some were killed.
Zhu Tai panicked and wanted to identify himself, but at this moment he was almost surrounded by an army of anti-thieves, once he identified himself, the first unlucky person would definitely be him, and he had no choice but to retreat to the front of the dock under the cover of the guards.
By this time, the huge ship was already approaching the dock.
"The king of the southwest is here, the king of the southwest helps!"
"What kind of life, these dog officials in the court never treat us as human beings, kill these dog officials, and support the four highnesses......"
All kinds of noisy sounds, the two sides confronted each other, and there were shouts of killing.
"The king of the southwest is coming, stop it!"
At this time, Yan Gang's loud voice sounded, and the huge dock suddenly became a lot quieter.
Everyone's eyes couldn't help but look at it in unison.
The middle-aged general led by him stretched out his hand to signal, and the officers and soldiers also stopped.
But the two sides are still on edge.
And the ship had also docked at this time, Lin Bai's face was gloomy, and he slowly walked down under the escort of a group of guards from the Southwest Palace.
Seeing this scene, Zhu Tai couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, not to mention whether he rebelled or not, his life was finally saved.
However, he was a little hesitant for a moment whether to step forward.
Because of the special situation, he couldn't figure out what was going on, did the talented man rebel? Although it may seem unlikely, as long as it involves rebellion, it must be doubly careful.
As Lin Bai stepped onto the dock, the eyes of the surrounding crowd became extremely complicated.
There are so many rumors about this time.
It is said that the great talent took away the businessman and withdrew the funds of Ezhou New Town, which caused Ezhou New City to become like this, although this statement has not been confirmed, and the image of the great talent has always won the favor of the people, but the rumors exist after all, and the southwest is indeed in full swing.
So, they are also skeptical.
As for the rebellion in the name of great talents, it doesn't matter to them at all.
They can't live anymore, they just want their wages back, and no one is just a slogan.
Besides, it wasn't their doing, they just followed it blindly.
Lin Bai's gaze swept over these people.
Yan Gang and a group of guards from the Southwest Royal Mansion were on guard.
At this time, the middle-aged general led by him stepped forward, "Cao Guangda, the chief soldier of Ezhou, has seen the king of the southwest. ”
He was quite respectful.
Lin Bai retracted his gaze, fell on the middle-aged general, and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Cao Guangda said: "Back to the southwest king, these people captured the prefect's yamen, killed the yacha, and the last general was ordered to come to quell the chaos. ”
"It's the yamen who won't pay us, and we're forced to be helpless."
"That's right! The yamen withheld our money, beat us, and killed our people. ”
“……”
There was a commotion in the crowd.
"Presumptuous!"
Behind the officers and soldiers, Hua Xingwen and others seemed to arrive in a hurry.
He first saluted Lin Bai, "I've seen the King of the Southwest." ”
After that, he shouted: "Ezhou New City is temporarily short of funds, but this is not the reason for you to storm the yamen and rebel, and even you rebel in the name of the king of the southwest, what are your intentions?" ”
The workers were speechless, most of them not knowing what was happening, but just blindly following them.
However, there are also people hiding in the crowd and shouting, "It's all you dog officials who are greedy for everyone's wages, and we want to be paid." ”
"That's right! We want to be paid! ”
Hearing the salary, countless people immediately echoed it, and there was a lot of noise.
"Presumptuous!"
Hua Xingwen shouted angrily, "You are so bold, you deserve death if you kill the yacha and storm the yamen." ”
As he spoke, he looked at Lin Bai and said, "Lord Wang, please step aside immediately, these Diao people have gone completely crazy, lawless, and despise the imperial court, and must be taken down." ”
"General Cao, please be sure to protect the safety of the prince."
Cao Guangda signaled, and the soldiers suddenly became murderous, and the long knives in their hands pressed forward step by step.
On the contrary, the workers were completely panicked, they were all unarmed, how could they be the opponents of these soldiers, some were crying and some were insulting, and all kinds of desperate voices were filled.
Lin Bai wrung his eyebrows slightly, and his indifferent voice finally sounded, "Enough!" ”
