Chapter 81: The Power of Rumors
One night later, rumors flew in Rongbian City, one was that Yin Yuankang, the general of the town guard, shot the people of Dayan at will, and the other was that he collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country, intending to give the entire city to the Beirong people in exchange for a large amount of wealth.
No one knows where all this came from, but at this moment, the streets and alleys are full of discussions about this matter.
The foolish people are not wise, listening to the wind is the rain, and even began to spread rapidly in an uncontrollable trend.
In front of the general's mansion, surrounded by the people in Rongbian City, most of them came to see the excitement, and in front of the mansion, the cause of the contradictions was some young scholars who read poetry and books.
At this time, they were indignantly pushing the armor soldiers of the Gongwei General's Mansion, and kept shouting Yin Yuankang inside.
"How dare the thieves sit inside, shoot innocent people, and join forces with barbarians to disrupt our frontier city, what face does it have to dominate the three armies?"
A scholar in a Confucian shirt and a bronze crown pulled away the two soldiers and shouted at the door of the mansion, and before the voice fell, a burst of applause rang out.
"You are waiting to shelter the traitorous thieves and betray the people of the city, what face do you have to meet and kiss the old?"
There were so many people that it almost completely blocked the entire street, and the sound was erratic, so I couldn't hear where it came from.
The soldiers at the door looked a little ashamed, so they just stopped these scholars in front of them, and did not have any excesses.
"The enemy is outside, you don't want to serve the country, and you stir up the wind and rain here, but Beirong should respond?"
The door squeaked and slowly opened, and it was Cao Lang who spoke, only to see him slowly stepping down the steps, and his eyebrows swept at the group of scholars in front of him.
As his words fell, or were intimidated by his momentum, the people outside did not dare to say anything more.
"We are here to serve the country, to catch the chaos of the party (harmony) is to serve the country, I am a big country, how can I be afraid of some barbarians, I am afraid of some barbarians, I am afraid that you will collude with barbarians and help them slaughter the people of the city, and I am ashamed of the people of the world!"
There was another loud shout, and the person who spoke was very deep, and almost as soon as he finished saying this, he hid in the depths of the crowd, but after he said this, the faces of the group of scholars turned red again, which was excited.
Human nature is like this, this group of scholars relied on their own reading of poetry and books for a few years, and they already felt that they were superior, and now there are many passers-by around them, and they are even a little fluttering, and even a few scholars have gone to the alleys on the side, found sticks, and prepared to break into the general's mansion.
Cao Lang's eyes flashed, and he shouted, "We are acting, why do we need to report to you? Get out of here, otherwise we will kill you all." ”
His attitude is very tough, but also with a hint of murderous intent, which makes many people retreat a little, between life and death, fear is human nature.
"The law does not blame the public, everyone rushes together, and takes down the dog official to parade the street, so that the sky can see the appearance of this wicked man, this move will definitely go down in history. ”
It was the man who spoke again, and this sentence almost blew up the already somewhat depressing atmosphere, this time it was not just the scholars, but even the onlookers began to storm the General's Mansion.
"Down with the traitors!"
The leading Confucian scholar shouted loudly, and with his flesh and blood, he forcibly squeezed away the guards of the armor soldiers at the door.
Yesterday, Yin Yuankang shot innocent people and saw it to many soldiers, many of whom were old relatives, so under this rumor that was full of rumors and mixed with truth and falsehood, even the most elite garrison force in the city began to waver.
Otherwise, just with these weak scholars, how can they have the ability to push away this group of armored soldiers who have experienced the baptism of blood.
Seeing that the soldiers at the door did not stop much, the group of people became even more excited, in fact, not many of them really came to get rid of the national thieves, more of them, just to find a talking point that they could show off in front of people in the future.
Storming a city and managing the general's palace with more than 10,000 troops, what a joyful thing.
At this time, no one still remembered that there was still a large group of Beirong people staring at the city gate, in their hearts, the affairs outside the city had their own tall people, otherwise what was the use of the court raising this group of big-headed soldiers?
It is not a good thing to live in peace for a long time, this group of scholars who are deeply educated by Wenzong, and the foolish people who have not been enlightened, have long forgotten the heaviness of history, and how the mountains and rivers forged with blood have been recaptured.
The door of the mansion was broken, and a group of armored soldiers with sticks in hand came into view, their eyes were deep, staring at the group of people outside.
They are different from other soldiers, these are Yin Yuankang's personal soldiers, they know their adult temperament, and they have never wavered in their hearts from beginning to end.
"My family has always been above board, and if anyone dares to slander my family, be careful of sticks and eyes!"
It was a colonel standing at the front who spoke, only to hear his voice fall, and the soldiers behind him took a step forward in unison, shouting "Kill!" in unison.
The evil qi, the evil qi condensed by the killing field floated in this small courtyard, and the cold eyes did not make people doubt at all that if they took one step further, they would be killed on the spot by this group of guards with wide waists and round arms.
Unconsciously, the crowd took a step back in unison, impacting the scholars at the front, and then they woke up and turned around who was facing them?
A military general who is personally appointed by the imperial court, even if he has a major fault, is not a person who can be convicted by himself and others.
Just when they had no way to retreat, a herald squeezed in outside the door, and in the courtyard of the battle, he knelt down on one knee and shouted loudly to the lobby inside, "General, the Beirong people outside the city have knocked on the door again, please preside over the overall situation!"
As his words fell, heavy footsteps sounded, which was just the footsteps of one person, but it could suppress the noise in the entire general's mansion.
Yin Yuankang slowly walked out of the conference hall with his armor and helmet, and overnight, his hair was half white, and he glanced at the people in the courtyard, and a trace of heartache flashed in the corner of his eyes.
This is the people of Bianrong who he fought for his life and also had to protect!
After Yin Yuankang came out, the group of pro-soldiers quickly surrounded him, firmly protected him in the middle, and vigilantly stared at the group of flat-headed people and the 'well-educated' scholars in front of him.
"Get out of the way. ”
Yin Yuankang pushed away the soldiers in front of him, put his helmet straight, and slowly stepped forward.
"General!"
It was the previous junior colonel who spoke, and he looked at Yin Yuankang with some concern, very worried that he would be injured by the sudden outbreak of Dayanren.
Yin Yuankang paused, sighed, turned his head and said with a smile, "What are you guarding against, this is my Dayan people!"
After that, he continued to go out, and the soldiers behind him followed closely, although Yin Yuankang said so, they had to be careful to guard each other, as long as someone showed something wrong, they would immediately smash his head with the stick in his hand.
As Yin Yuankang moved forward, the crowd that was blocking the way unconsciously made a way and looked at him, a middle-aged military general with gray hair.
"Dog officer! traitor!"
The crowd didn't know who shouted, and an egg was thrown from it and smashed on Yin Yuankang's head.
The little colonel was suddenly furious, and just wanted to find out the person who threw the egg, but was stopped by Yin Yuankang.
"The old man is worthy of the world, so what is there to fear!"
Yin Yuankang's voice was not loud, but everyone present could hear it clearly.
The little colonel's eyes were complicated, what a hero his own general was, he knew it very well in his heart, so looking at his stumbling steps at this moment, he actually had a feeling of wanting to cry.
His words didn't have any effect, seeing that no one was punished for this, countless eggs and vegetable leaves were thrown into the crowd and smashed at Yin Yuankang.
"Protect the General!"
The little colonel shouted, he had nothing to do in this situation, he could only use his body to block the thrown things for him.
