Chapter 425: Jiangnan Rebellion
The next day, the weather was fine.
There was chaos in the south of the Tang River, and countless people rushed to the streets, robbing people when they saw them, robbing them if they had money, smashing inns, smashing mansions, snatching food and jewelry, as long as it was something that could make people live, all of them were strong.
Because they really can't live anymore.
The remaining army began to suppress the people, but the people gathered more and more, at first in groups of three or five, then to more than ten or twenty groups, and finally gathered into groups of several hundred people.
The army did not dare to go up, there were too many people, and there were too few garrison troops.
In normal times, 2,000 troops would be enough to defeat tens of thousands of people, but now it can't be done, and the people are so angry that they almost lose their minds, don't expect them to be afraid.
What's more, these civilians may be relatives of comrades-in-arms, or even relatives of these defenders, and no one dares to give the order to massacre civilians.
So the cities were in chaos, the streets were smashed, the famous families were looted, some were injured, and some even died.
"Fuck, brothers do it for me, I can't hold it ahead, the water tribe is in, maybe it will be tomorrow, grab something and run for your life, the world is big, where is not a fucking home!"
"That's right, grab it, if you don't grab it, you won't have anything. ”
"Lao Tzu is not a wicked person, Lao Tzu just wants to live. ”
"Yes, I can't watch my wife and children starve to death, can I?"
"Those soldiers are a bunch of fucking waste, and all the food is given to them, aren't they still beaten to the ground by the water monsters?"
"Fuck it, grab it. ”
The whole city is full of these voices, everything is messed up, and the Jiangnan family, as a rich party, will naturally inevitably be looted.
"Master, master, those wicked people are knocking on the door, hundreds, even thousands, too many people to count, slamming the door. ”
The butler staggered in, pale with fright.
Murong hurriedly said: "Master, master, you have to think of a way, the family is going to be gone." ”
"Husband, say something quickly, what are you doing in a daze. ”
Murong was so anxious that tears were about to fall, and the servants and maids in the house were also panicking.
Old Man Murong stood up, tidied up his clothes, and said slowly: "Now you know that you are called Fujun, now you know that I am the head of the family?"
"Oh my God, when is it, you still have to worry about arguing with me. ”
Murong stomped his feet and said, "Your life is almost gone, my old man." ”
Old Man Murong glanced at Murong and said in a deep voice, "I'll go out, I'll meet them." ”
As he spoke, he strode out.
Murong Shi was startled, hurriedly grabbed him, shook his head and said, "Don't don't, don't go, it's too dangerous, it's a big deal, we don't want anything, just stay alive, escape through the back door." ”
Old Man Murong's face turned straight, and he said loudly: "You don't want the home, you don't want the city, do you want the country, do you want the country, do you want the Jiangshan Sheji!"
Murong said: "You are not this material, master, you are really a scholar, and you don't have the ability to be a white child." ”
"A scholar has the ability to read. ”
After the old man Murong said this sentence firmly, he strode out, and Murong couldn't hold it back.
She had no choice but to grit her teeth and follow his narration, since it was a family, it should be standing together at all times.
The door rumbled, and the shouts outside shook the sky, and the old man Murong directly asked the trembling family to open the door, and there was a loud creak, and the people outside the door were also stunned, but they didn't expect the door to take the initiative to open.
Old Man Murong strode out, looked at the first person who was about to rush forward, and said sharply: "Stop for me!"
This roar suddenly startled this person, and he didn't expect that Old Man Murong, as a Confucian student, still had this momentum.
When Old Man Murong saw this burly man, he immediately said loudly: "Liu Laosan!
Liu Laosan gasped, gritted his teeth and said: "Old man Murong, everyone is at a dead end, there is no way, I know you are a good person, and we don't want to be like this." ”
Seeing that the people behind did not follow, and the soldiers in the distance did not dare to approach, this wave of people crowded the streets, I am afraid that there are really thousands of people.
Old Man Murong took a deep breath and said, "I know you usually have a bit of a reputation, they all listen to you now, right?"
Liu Laosan said: "We just don't want to die here." ”
Old man Murong said: "The day before yesterday, your daughter was sick, and I found the doctor for you." ”
"Yes. ”
Liu Laosan lowered his head, his face ashamed.
Old Man Murong continued: "Four days ago, your family of six was so hungry that you came to eat in my porridge shed. ”
"Yes..."
Liu Laosan's face turned red, he suddenly raised his head, and said loudly: "Old man Murong, you are my Liu Laosan's benefactor, I dare not forget." But we really can't live anymore, we have no food, no money, we only dare to run away if we rob it. ”
"I'll kneel down for you, I'll kowtow to you, but I beg you, just leave the house, we don't want to hurt your body and your life. ”
As Liu Laosan spoke, he really fluttered and knelt down, knocking his head a few times.
The crowd around them also shouted.
"Master Murong, we all know that you are a good person, if it weren't for you bringing other families to give porridge relief, we would have starved to death a long time ago. ”
"yes, we don't want to hurt you, but we can't. ”
"Master Murong, you let us in. ”
The people all around were crying, as I said before, they were cornered.
Old Man Murong took a deep breath, looked at the people around him, and his heart was also full of grief, and he looked down at Liu Laosan's bleeding forehead, and he couldn't bear it for a while.
But he gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "Liu Laosan, since you recognize this kindness, you will grant me a request." ”
Liu Laosan smiled bitterly, kowtowed three more times, and said, "Master Murong, please give me a way out." ”
Old man Murong said: "I just need them to be quiet, I want to say a few words, you can listen if you want to listen, if you don't want to listen, I Murong Mansion will let you rob it." ”
Liu Laosan stood up, turned his head and said loudly: "Quiet, quiet!"
He was clearly very prestigious in the group, and everyone around him suddenly fell silent.
Liu Laosan said: "Master Murong has a few words to say, let's be quiet, no matter what we want to do, let Master Murong finish speaking." ”
The people around nodded hurriedly, they were not wicked people, just people who had been cornered.
They know what kindness is, and they also know what good and evil are.
These days, the Murong family doesn't care about money to save people, and they all keep it in their hearts.
It's quiet, everything is quiet.
The sun was shining, the wind was blowing slightly, and Old Man Murong looked at the square-shaped face in front of him.
Because of hunger and despair, most of them were in poor spirits, and most of them looked rather hideous, but now that they were quiet, they looked very pitiful.
Old Man Murong didn't know what he was going to say, but he knew he had to say something.
For the Murong family, for this city, for the country, and for the dawn of the world.
