Chapter 130: Dissolving Anger
The soldiers of Penglai Palace, armed with halberds, confronted the unarmed citizens. The citizens were afraid of the weapons in the hands of the soldiers, and did not dare to break in. But those at the back of the crowd don't care. I don't know which citizen touched a stone and threw it at the soldiers of the palace. It was thrown right on the forehead of a soldier. The stone cut through his forehead, and blood trickled down his forehead. When the soldiers saw that their own people had suffered a loss, they pushed the approaching citizens with all their might. Suddenly, several citizens were pushed to the ground. I don't know if it was intentional or unintentional, but I was stepped on a few times. Those who fell immediately wailed and wailed. This angered the people even more, and at noon, five or six hundred citizens gathered in front of the Penglai Palace. They blocked the palace so much that the people in the palace couldn't get in or get out.
The commotion outside was in full swing, and the father and son of King Penglai inside couldn't sit still. At first, they thought it was just some Diao people who had nothing to do when they were full, so the guards blew things away. Who knows, the guards not only did not blow people away, but gathered more and more. King Penglai stood in the courtyard, looking through the crack in the door, looking at the five or six hundred citizens outside, his face was pale.
"Wuji, what the hell is going on?" asked King Penglai angrily to Zao Wou-Ki.
Zhao Wuji frowned and said, "Father, I have already sent someone to investigate, and I believe that the results will come back soon." ”
As soon as Zao Wouji's words fell, he saw a figure in the sky coming from the sky. When Zao Wou-Ki saw this figure, his face was overjoyed, and he said, "Father, the person I sent out has returned. ”
It turned out that after the gate of the palace was blocked by the citizens, the people in the palace couldn't go out. Didn't do it, Zhao Wuji had no choice but to send a Five Elements Stage cultivator to fly out of the sky, and then break into the interior of the citizens. Investigate what makes these usually docile citizens so irritable.
The man in the sky flew very fast, and in the blink of an eye, he was already in front of everyone. After this man received the flying sword, he walked straight to Zao Wou-ki, bowed to Zao Wou-ki, and said, "Shizi." ”
In his fist-clasping hands, he can be seen holding several pieces of paper. The paper was densely filled with words, and I didn't know what was written. Zhao Wuji hurriedly asked, "Cao Kun, how is the matter I asked you to investigate?"
The man known as Cao Kun breathed a sigh of relief, and then said: "After reading this, the prince understands the reason why the citizens gathered to demonstrate and make trouble. As he spoke, he handed the paper in his hand to Zao Wou-Ki.
Zao Wou-Ki took it and looked at it line by line, and the more he looked at it, the more solemn his face became. By the time he finished reading the fifth one, Zao Wou-Ki's face was already dark, no different from the casserole made in the kitchen.
"Wuji, what's going on?" King Penglai also saw that his son was not right, and hurriedly asked.
"Father, see for yourself. With that, Zao Wou-Ki handed the paper in his hand to King Penglai again.
King Penglai looked puzzled, took it, and read it slowly. Soon, King Penglai's reaction was no different from Zao Wou-Ki's. The same iron blue face, coupled with a pair of eyes that want to breathe fire, is so hideous and terrifying.
After reading it, King Penglai yelled: "Come on, go and bring Chen Long to me!"
"Yes!" two of the guards replied, turning and walking towards the backyard.
Chen Long was in charge of patrolling the backyard today, and although he had heard the disturbance from the citizens in front of him, he never expected that this matter would be related to him. The few pieces of paper that King Penglai and Zao Wou-Ki saw were one of those confessions that the little fat man asked the bearded man to write down.
Chen Long was quickly escorted over, and he was pushed and shoved by two guards from behind. Long Chen didn't know what the prince was looking for him, but when he saw the faces of King Penglai and Prince Tie Qing, he already vaguely felt bad.
The two guards pushed Chen Long to the ground like garbage. After eating the guard's shove, Chen Long stood unsteadily, stumbled under his feet, poofed, and knelt at the feet of King Penglai.
"Lord Wang, what crime did the villain commit?" Chen Long said while kowtowing, this is a big trouble, he still thinks it has nothing to do with him.
It's okay not to ask, this question, King Penglai was furious, pointed at Chen Long's nose and scolded: "Look at the good things you have done!" As he spoke, he threw the paper in his hand on Chen Long's face.
The paper smashed on his face, and Chen Long felt a hot pain. However, he can't care about that anymore. He quickly picked up the ground on the ground and read it. This reading is like being splashed on the head by a basin of ice water in the cold winter wax moon, and it is cold from head to foot. His evil deeds, written in black and white, are clearly written on it. Looking at the signatures on it, it turned out to be those buddies who call him brothers and sisters on weekdays. I don't know what happened to them, but they betrayed him together and exposed him.
"Lord Wang, Lord Lord spare your life!" Chen Long hugged Lord Wang's thigh and begged, his heart was cold, knowing that he was more and less lucky today.
"Get out!" The prince raised his leg and kicked Chen Long on the heel, and scolded loudly: "Bastard, you caused me such a big trouble, and you are embarrassed to let me spare you! I just want to spare you, and the people of Penglai City will not spare you! You have stabbed the big leak, you have to make up for it yourself! Come on, pull Chen Long out and behead him!"
"Yes!" The two guards who had pushed Chen Long out stood up again and dragged him out of the mud.
After a while, there was a burst of cheers outside, it seemed that Long Chen's beheading could still be very happy, and King Penglai breathed a sigh of relief. After a while, the two guards returned to the courtyard and reported to King Penglai: "Lord Wang, kill Long Chen, those demonstrators still refuse to leave. ”
When King Penglai heard this, his face changed suddenly, and he asked loudly, "What do these people want to do?"
The guard replied, "They said they wanted justice for the livelihood of those disabled children in the future." ”
After listening to the guard's words, King Penglai walked around the courtyard angrily, and kept shouting: "It's the opposite, it's the opposite!"
At this time, everyone was silent, and no one dared to come forward to persuade King Penglai. Because everyone knows that when King Penglai is in a bad mood, he will want to kill. At this time, the words of consolation to him may have touched the prince's moldy head, and the prince was killed on the spot as a punching bag.
No one else dared to speak, but one person did. He is the most beloved son of King Penglai, the son of Zao Wou-ki. Zao Wou-Ki said: "Father, don't be angry first, I have a way to make these people retreat." ”
King Penglai was not angry, his heart was full of anger, and he had an urge to let the guards kill all the people outside the door. However, if this is done, the anger will be even greater. was known by the person in the west, and he didn't know if he could sit firmly in the position of prince. Now when I heard my son say that there was a way, I immediately raised my eyebrows and said, "If my son has any way, tell me quickly." ”
So, Zao Wou-Ki leaned into the ear of King Penglai and muttered non-stop. King Penglai nodded as he listened. After a long while, Zao Wou-Ki finished speaking and took two steps back. King Penglai's face was solemn, as if he had made up his mind, and said, "Okay, Wang'er, just do as you say!" After speaking, King Penglai turned his head and said to Steward Wang: "Steward Wang, come here." ”
When the king of Penglai heard the king of Penglai calling him, he hurriedly walked over, and his heart was also up and down, not knowing whether the prince called him a good thing or a bad thing. When Steward Wang was struggling in his heart, King Penglai spoke again: "Manager Wang, you will go to the west of the city to find the house where the beggar orphans live in a while. You find someone to decorate it, press everything that needs to be pressed, and turn it into an orphanage for children who are specially adopted by Liulang. I am looking for a few special people to take care of these children, and spend a hundred taels of silver from the account office every month to improve the living expenses of these children. Go, go and tell the people outside. ”
"Yes!" Mr. Wang ran out because he was relatively short and fat. This one runs, like a leather ball, bouncing up and down.
Not long after Mr. Wang went out, he heard a bustling sound outside, not mixed with some cheers, it seems that Zao Wou-ki's method has worked. After a while, Manager Wang ran back like a leather ball, he ran to King Penglai, gasped and said, "Lord Wang, those people have gradually dispersed after listening to your words. ”
"That's good!" said King Penglai, turning around and walking towards the backyard. Today, the palace is inexplicably surrounded by people, and it is strange that King Penglai is in a good mood.
Shizi walked to the door and was relieved to see that the crowd of demonstrators had dispersed. On the ground outside the door, a corpse lay down. That was Chen Long, who had done a lot of evil, and he didn't expect to end up like this today.
"Shizi, what should you do with this corpse of Long Chen?" asked Chief Manager Wang cautiously to Zao Wou-Ki.
Zhao Wuji waved his hand impatiently and said, "Notify his family to come and collect the body, and if it is not taken away at night, throw it in the back mountain to feed the wild dogs!"
After saying that, Zao Wou-Ki turned around and returned to the palace. The rest of the aftermath will be handed over to Manager Wang to deal with.
It's so lively outside, what is the little fat man doing at this time? It turned out that the little fat man came to Penglai Wangfu with Ding Hao to report early in the morning. Because the two of them had just arrived, Mr. Wang arranged for the two of them to hoe in the back garden. Although some citizens surrounded the palace and made trouble, these had nothing to do with them, the lowest family. In this way, the little fat man and Ding Hao honestly worked in the back garden of the palace. The two of them couldn't stop complaining in their hearts, this back garden couldn't touch the king of Penglai and the prince of Penglai at all, how to collect evidence of the rebellion of the king of Penglai?
