For a while, the atmosphere was a little deadlocked.
Zhu Feng glanced at Ye Zheng, Ye Zheng understood, and immediately said to the soldiers: "My lord hasn't ordered you, who will allow you to do it?"
When he heard him say "My lord", the soldiers froze for a moment.
However, the leader also understood.
Hastily knelt down: "The villain deserves to die."
Immediately, the surrounding soldiers all knelt down and kowtowed at Zhu Feng's feet.
Zhu Feng only glanced at them indifferently, and without saying anything, he raised his head and looked at the stubborn and angry faces behind the fence.
The villagers of Jufu Village, because their livelihoods have been engraved stone tablets since they were young, are all very strong, unlike ordinary thin and weak people.
When they quarreled, the momentum was much bigger.
In normal times, when Zhu Feng encountered such a thing, he would have already waved his hand to let the soldiers behind him rush up, fight as much as they should, and kill as much as they should, without talking nonsense to them at all.
But this time—
He turned his head and looked at the carriage not far behind him. He could vaguely see the little girl lifting a curtain and looking outside carefully.
All right.
For the first time, talk to these people to find out whether they are really troublemakers or have other secrets.
So, he said coldly, "Who is in charge?"
At this time, Uncle Shi, who was standing in the crowd, pushed aside the crowd, stepped forward, and said to him, "My lord, the villain is in charge."
"Who are you?"
"The villain is the head of this village, and my name is Shi Eranyi."
It's a simple name.
It seems that when his parents gave birth to him, one of them was twenty-one years old. This is a common way of naming among the people.
Zhu Feng couldn't help but think of his own father, Emperor Gao's nickname when he was a child, and it was the same.
Therefore, I felt a little emotional for a while, and the anger gradually disappeared.
However, his face was still domineering without anger, staring coldly at Shi Eryi in front of him, and said, "Why are you gathering a crowd to make trouble?"
Shi Eryi said, "We didn't gather crowds to make trouble."
"..."
"It's these officials who are here to make trouble for us."
…
While talking on the other side, Nan Yan sat in the carriage, raised a corner of the curtain, and watched carefully.
Just now she saw that the soldiers and the villagers were about to fight, but she was terrified, for fear that something might happen.
If it's normal, that's all.
Today, both Zhu Feng and himself are here. Then, those villagers will be charged with bullying or even killing the king if they make trouble. At that time, no one in the entire Jufu village will die.
So, she talked softly to Zhu Feng for a while.
Fortunately, Zhu Feng also listened, got out of the carriage and walked over calmly. Judging from the current situation, at least he didn't want to kill immediately as soon as he passed.
Already good, good!
Nan Yan patted his chest and was still watching carefully. Suddenly, he heard the soldier next to the carriage say: "Who is it?!"
Nan Yan opened the curtain and saw that it was a child running over from the road next to him, holding something to eat, and was frightened by the soldiers, so he didn't dare to move.
Nan Yan said: "Don't scare him."
Ran Xiaoyu went over to ask a few words, and said: "It seems that the children in this village slipped out to play."
"Bring him here."
"Why."
Ran Xiaoyu led the child over and walked to the side of the carriage.
The child was only four or five years old, and he was still wearing crotch trousers, but probably because he didn't have enough money to buy good clothes, so the sleeves and trousers were a lot shorter, exposing his round arms and legs. He had never seen such a big battle, and he was frightened and stupid at this time.
The thing in his hand fell to the ground at once.
Nan Yan looked down and saw that it was a hawthorn on the candied haws.
The child burst into tears.
The people in this kind of village are relatively poor, and it is rare to go to the city all year round. If you bring some sweets like this to your child, I am afraid that he will save his food, but in the end, he will lose it all at once. How can he not feel sad
Seeing him like this, Nan Yan hurriedly coaxed him: "Don't cry, baby, come here, Auntie has delicious food here."
Just in time, because she was afraid that she would be greedy, Zhu Feng asked someone to prepare some snacks and put them in the car. She immediately went to get a piece of brown sugar cake and handed it to the child: "Eat this, this is delicious."
When the child saw the food, he stopped crying, sobbed and took a bite, and immediately opened his eyes wide in surprise.
I have never eaten such delicious food.
He said, "Thank you, Auntie."
He's a polite kid.
Nan Yan beckoned him to come up, Ran Xiaoyu immediately hugged the child and sat on the side of the carriage, and could not let him enter the emperor's car.
Nan Yan asked, "What's your name?"
"small stone."
"What a lovely name."
Nan Yan stretched out her hand to stroke his heart, and then said, "Little Shitou, why is it so noisy in your village?"
Little Shitou said: "Some very vicious uncles came to drive us away. My father, uncle, second uncle, and brothers in the village refused to leave, so we quarreled with them."
"Why don't you want to go?"
Nan Yan smiled and said, "The government wants to build a city wall here. After it's built, it can protect you, and you can also live in a new place."
Little Stone looked at her for a while.
Then he said: "Daddy said, those uncles are too fierce, we won't move!"
Nan Yan was taken aback.
Could it be that they didn't move just because the person who came to notify him had a bad breath or a bad attitude
Is this—a bit too hypocritical
Nan Yan was thinking about it, and Xiao Shitou said again: "Daddy also said that no matter where we move, we will be driven away."
"..."
"So, we still have to stay here."
Listening to the childish voice, Nan Yan blinked her eyes, as if she felt something.
She thought for a while and said, "Little Shitou, will Auntie take you back?"
"good."
Nan Yan was about to get off the carriage, and Ran Xiaoyu hurried over: "Your Majesty, be careful."
"Don't worry, I'm fine."
She smiled and got out of the carriage, then took Xiao Shitou's hand and walked forward.
On the other side, Zhu Feng's eyes turned cold after hearing the words of the village chief Shi Eranyi, and he said, "Just because the person who came to read out the decree has a bad breath, are you disobeying the government's order?"
"..."
"You are not troublemakers, what are you?"
Upon hearing his words, the villagers were also angry: "Why are we troublemakers?"
The two sides were arguing, and suddenly, a woman ran up from behind and said anxiously: "Twenty-one, twenty-one, the little stone is gone!"
"What?"
Upon hearing that, the Village Chief Shi frowned.
The villagers around him all said: "It must be these officials who grabbed the little stone and threatened us!"
