Chapter 164: Demonstrations, Petitions
Consul's Palace.
Xu Jinsong wandered left and right in the hall with his hands behind his back, with a solemn expression.
"Father, what are you still hesitating about, Qin Hu is already riding on our heads, if we don't give him some color, we will lose even more in the future. Xu Bao reminded.
Stopping, Xu Jinsong turned his head to look at his son, and said angrily: "How many times have I told you about the trouble, but you just don't listen, and now it's all because of you that you're causing such a big trouble." ”
"What does Qin Hu have to do with me, I think he is jealous of us, maybe Ling Du was rescued by him. Xu Bao said unhappily.
"We don't have to deal with the well water of the Black Tiger Gang, and there must be a conspiracy for him to do so. Xu Jinsong said worriedly.
"Isn't it obvious, first smashing our casino, and then releasing fake news to put Qianzhuang in crisis, this must be the city lord secretly instructing Qin Hu to do this, as a warning to us. Xu Bao said.
"So the city lord has been eyeing us for a long time, but if it doesn't work, I'll give him the Ling family's money to avoid making trouble. Xu Jinsong said.
"Seeing that he will abdicate in two years and give way to Xian, the father of the city lord is within reach, at this time, wouldn't we give up the Ling family's money to him, wouldn't it be self-defeating, in my opinion, it is better to do the opposite. Xu Bao hurriedly said.
His body stiffened, and Xu Jinsong said in a deep voice: "In your opinion, what should I do?"
"Knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger, in the name of disrupting public order, we arrested a group of Black Tiger Gang members and made them suffer a dumb loss. Xu Bao smiled.
Just as Xu Jinsong hesitated, a soldier walked in.
"Report to the Commander, the city lord asked you to come over immediately. The soldier said.
Frowning, Xu Jinsong had a premonition that something was not good, pondered for a long time, and said suspiciously: "Could it be that the city is going to have a showdown with me?"
"He's saluting first and then soldiering. Xu Bao said.
"Hmph, I'd like to see where he got his soldiers. ”
After speaking, Xu Jinsong turned around and left.
......
The bloody suppression of Lingjia Qianzhuang led to many casualties among the people, although the official was rejoicing, but the city was full of lamentations, once it lost the hearts of the people, it caused a chain reaction, and the major chambers of commerce and the people who organized themselves gathered at the city lord's mansion to ask for explanations, and the momentum was unprecedented.
The tiger master, also known as Qin Hu, secretly let the members of the Black Tiger Gang mix in the crowd from time to time to make small moves in order to do enough foreplay, not afraid that things will be big, but afraid that things will not be big, only in this way can the city lord hold the scene to question Xu Jinsong.
Xiao Yao stood in the corner with Ling Du in his arms and watched the unprecedented prosperity, and couldn't stop snickering in his heart, but Ling Du was touching his chin, not knowing what he was thinking.
"What's the matter, our ingenious means are very powerful, right?" Xiao Yao smiled.
"Pitch black, this is also amazing, you bring the little tiger, I have something to say to him. Ling Du said disdainfully.
After a short time, Qin Hu shook his burly figure and walked over, because he didn't know Ling Du's special origin, so he just glanced casually and fell on Xiao Yao.
"Childe has already married a wife and had children at such an age, I really admire it. Qin Hu clenched his fists and laughed.
"Uh~"
Xiao Yao's face was black, and he didn't know how to explain it.
"Little Tiger, look here, look here. ”
Ling Du smiled and stretched out his finger to hook towards Qin Hu with a cute expression.
The body stiffened, Qin Huyuan's face turned red, he was in Qingyan City, and whoever saw it had to call "Tiger Master" respectfully, and today he was actually called "Little Tiger" by a doll, and his face was a little unbearable, but there was no way, whoever called the doll Lao Tzu is a strong man in the rivers and lakes, just be a child.
"Good, let my uncle hug me. ”
Barely squeezing out a smile, Qin Hu stretched out his arms and was about to hug Ling Du.
"Phew~"
A mouthful of sticky phlegm spit on Qin Hu's face, Ling Du cleared his throat, muttered a small mouth, and said, "Recently, I have been a little angry, and it is much more comfortable to spit out." ”
"Ggag ~ Gash ~ "
This sticky phlegm can make Qin Hu nauseous enough, and he squatted on the ground and retched.
Seeing this, Xiao Yao pinched Ling Du's thigh hard, probably because of the excessive force, Ling Du's body, who was still laughing, stiffened, his face was pale, his throat made a few "gurgling" sounds, his eyes rolled, and he almost lost his breath.
"Childe, forget it, the child is young and ignorant. Qin Hu hurriedly stopped.
"Hurry up and get down to business, if you're playing tricks on others, don't blame me for being rude. Xiao Yao said angrily.
With white eyes, Ling Du turned his head to look at Qin Hu and said, "Put your ears together." ”
The two muttered and muttered, only to see Qin Hu dumbfounded.
After finishing speaking, Ling Du bit Qin Hu's ear fiercely and said with a smile: "Go ahead, just do as I say." ”
Seeing that Xiao Yao had no objection, Qin Hu left in a daze.
Soon after Qin Hu left, the originally lively crowd of the City Lord's Mansion gradually dispersed, which made the captain in charge of the guard puzzled, he thought that there would be a big conflict today, why did the crowd disperse.
Just when the captain was puzzled, Xu Jinsong rushed to the city lord with the escort team, although Xu Jinsong also saw the scattered crowd on the way here, but he didn't know what was going on, so he didn't pay attention to it.
Until the afternoon, Qin Hu came to the inn in a hurry and told Xu Jinsong about his refusal to suppress bandits on the grounds of chaos in public security......
......
Early the next morning.
Thousands of people gathered on the street in front of the city lord's mansion again, and when they looked closely, they found that these crowds were orderly divided into more than ten phalanxes, and this strange situation frightened the guards to hurriedly run into the mansion to report.
After a short time, a group of soldiers with helmets and armor came out of the house, and then pulled up a long guard and waited for the battle.
Qin Hu nodded to the members of the Black Tiger Gang who were mixed in the crowd, so a so-called "demonstration demonstration" in Ling Du kicked off, and each phalanx pulled up a red cloth, on which the words "If the bandits are not eliminated, how can the world be safe" and so on.
For this demonstration, the city lord had already received the news, so he invited Xu Jinsong to watch it together as soon as possible.
There were two chairs at the entrance of the house, and the city lord Huang Sheng and Xu Jinsong sat separately, although this was a demonstration against Xu Jinsong, but the city lord did not speak, and he had no choice but to say nothing with a gloomy face.
"If the bandits are not eliminated, how can the world be safe! What does Commander Xu think?" City Lord Huang Sheng stroked his beard and asked with a smile.
With a cold snort, Xu Jinsong said in a deep voice: "The bandits come from Diao Min, if the city is not rectified first, sooner or later it will be even more hateful than the bandits outside the city." ”
"The people petition, we are not doing anything, we will inevitably lose the hearts of the people, if this matter reaches the ears of the king of Dongzhou, I am afraid we will not be able to escape the blame. City Lord Huang Sheng reminded.
"The subordinates are very curious, yesterday they came to make trouble for the Ling family's money, how did they evolve into bandits today, could it be that someone is secretly making ghosts. Squinting his eyes, Xu Jinsong said in a deep voice.
"Why do you care so much about the affairs of the Ling family's money village?" City Lord Huang Sheng wondered.
Hearing this, Xu Jinsong was taken aback, and secretly scolded himself for almost saying that he had almost lost his mouth, although he knew that today's scene must be related to the city lord, but at this sensitive time, he couldn't have a showdown if he was killed.
"The subordinates are responsible for the security of the city, for fear that they will take it lightly and let the ill-intentioned people take advantage of the loopholes. Xu Jinsong explained with a thorn in his words.
Just as the two were talking, a middle-aged literati walked to the door of the mansion with high morale, bowed deeply, and then turned around and cleared his throat, announcing the start of the event.
