"What!"
Woke up late today? Yuan Chongsheng was still wearing plain unlined clothes. When he heard that Mr. Cao came to report, he slapped his palm on the pear blossom wooden table in shock. The teacup above jumped up and splashed all over the table. Mrs. Yuan was just about to tie up his hair for him, but she was also pale from being frightened by Mr. Cao.
"Is my son okay?"
Master Cao hurriedly said: "Madam, don't worry. The young master's life is safe. He only suffered some flesh injuries. He has already invited the doctor to take care of him."
"What are you still thinking about that evil obstacle!" Yuan Chongsheng was furious: "Just throw him out directly,? Let those troublesome people tear him up,? It just happens to be out of sight!"
Mrs. Yuan wept bitterly: "My lord,? Our Yuan family is such a single seedling. If something happens to him, how will you tell the old lady in Beijing to live!"
"Let him be so nonsense again! The Yuan family's house will be ruined by him! What a loving mother!
Yuan Chongsheng's complexion was livid. Although he has many concubines,? But all these years, Yuan Fu is the only male. Immediately, he waved his sleeves and asked the maid to help Madam Yuan to rest in the inner room.
Hastily put on the robe: "How is it outside now?"
Mr. Cao said: "The guards looked over the wall. It is estimated that there are one or two hundred people gathered in front of the mansion."
"Hmph! These gangsters!" Yuan Chongsheng snorted lightly, with a cold look in his eyes,
He called to accompany him: "Go, let He Jian bring the county guards over,? First take down some troublemakers and make an example of them! Let's see who dares to overstep like this!"
"This..." Master Cao on the side was suspicious, and persuaded: "The people in Lingnan are so reckless, my lord,? Can you go out to appease them first, and not use the means of the county guard?"
"Comfort?" Yuan Chongsheng scolded: "Look at the commotion outside, if you delay for a while, I'm afraid they will demolish the gate of the house!"
He squinted his eyes slightly: "If you don't give them some color at the beginning, will you really think that everyone in my Xuntai Mansion can walk a little?"
A few days ago, the patriarch of the Qinghe border brought people to make trouble, and after some thunderous tactics, no more troubles could arise. It is his many years of experience as an official that such a troublesome person is proud to use extraordinary means.
"... subordinates obey."
Master Cao listened to the vague yelling outside, suppressed his uneasiness, and ordered the guards to set off immediately to the camp in the suburbs, and asked He Jian to quickly bring a thousand county guards to guard.
The front of the Xuntai Mansion was already crowded with people. The copper nails on the mansion gate had been smashed to pieces by the people blocking the gate. The vermilion gate was covered with various stains, apparently thrown by people with various things.
When He Jian came with a thousand-man county guard, more people surrounded the gate of the mansion. Several people had moved stones and were pounding on the gate heavily, rumbling. All the people behind were filled with righteous indignation and cursed:
"Dog officer! Oppressing the people! The laws of heaven cannot tolerate it!"
"Let people out!"
"The sky has no eyes! The villain has attained the Tao!"
Angry crusade sounds one after another, almost soaring to the sky.
He Jian's heart skipped a beat. The secret path is not good. The situation is much more serious than he imagined.
The subordinates beside him immediately stepped forward, and he was obviously quite surprised, so he hurriedly whispered into his ear: "Sir, there are so many people, what should we do?"
He Jian thought for a moment, "Give me an order, and then send 5,000 troops from the camp to guard!"
He raised his hand: "The rest of the troops listen to my orders! Surround the patrol mansion, isolate the troublemakers, and take down a few who take the lead in making trouble!"
"yes!"
In an instant, the dense army of the county guards surrounded and rushed forward, encircling the gate of Xuntai mansion layer by layer.
He Jian pulled out his knife with a stabbing sound, and shouted condescendingly: "You troublemakers, leave quickly, if you make trouble again! We will arrest you on the spot!"
The voices of denunciation in front of him were extinguished a lot.
But at this moment, an old woman rushed forward with a rattan basket, pointed at He Jian's nose and scolded: "The county guards are showing their prestige now! Why are my husband and son killed by Japanese barbarians?" I didn’t see such a skill in the official when I was here! Pooh! A bunch of scumbags!”
She was so angry that she grabbed a handful of rotten vegetables in the basket and threw them towards He Jian!
If He Jian hadn't dodged in time, those rotten vegetable leaves would have thrown him in the face! His face was livid, and he shouted: "Take it!"
The two soldiers rushed forward, and after a while, they cut the woman's hands behind her back and pressed them to the ground. The woman cried out heartbreakingly: "The sky has no eyes! How dare such a dog official run rampant! I don't want to Alive!"
She suddenly struggled desperately, and actually taught her to break free, and bumped into He Jian's horse. The horse was frightened and stood upright. He Jian was furious and roared:
"Zi Zi dare!"
He swung the knife horizontally, and immediately slashed on the woman's back. With a ripping sound, blood splashed out, and the woman made a bone-thumping sound from her throat, and immediately fell heavily on the ground.
Blood spread all over the floor!
The crowd fell silent for an instant, and suddenly someone yelled: "The county guards don't kill Japanese barbarians, they only kill ordinary people! Let's fight!"
The crowd erupted in a huge sound wave instantly, or rushed up with bare hands, or grabbed the stone. He Jian hurriedly retreated, and the soldiers rushed forward, drawing their knives. In an instant, the ground was red again.
"The county guards killed people!"
Those who were stabbed did not flinch, still gritted their teeth, their eyes were bloodshot, grabbed the handle of the knife, and grabbed it fiercely, which shocked the soldiers back again and again. He also began to be encouraged, and rushed forward one after another.
He Jian's breathing became heavy. He had never encountered such a situation before. This group of troublemakers seemed to be crazy!
He hurriedly ordered to the entourage beside him: "Let someone pass on my order, and send another 10,000 people over!"
There was another noise ahead, and it seemed that conflicts began again.
There was a sudden exclamation in the ear: "Not good!"
He Jian followed the gaze of the governor around him, and there were dark crowds at every intersection, not the county guards rushing to help, but a group of people carrying hoes and axes.
From all directions, like ants, come here in an endless stream.
The people in the siege seemed to have seen the dawn, and shouted in unison:
"Kill the dog officer! Kill the dog officer! Kill the dog officer!"
The bearded man whose wife had been humiliated got out of his trap, and immediately took off his dirty clothes, and jumped onto the stone lion next to the stomp, waving his clothes with a loud voice, through the crowd The people who suffered spread it to the outside world.
"Fathers and folks! Yuan thief bullies men and women! The crime is heinous!"
"Greedy hard-earned money! Excessive taxation! It's for wolves!"
"The county guards are cowardly and incompetent! Not resisting foreign aggression! Massacring the people!"
"This trip! Be punished! This crime! Unforgivable!"
Everyone in the crowd erupted: "Unforgivable! Unforgivable!"
The foreign supporters roared angrily:
"Unforgivable!"
"Unforgivable!"
"Unforgivable!"
…
The noise almost toppled Xuntaifu.
Yuan Chongsheng was sitting in the conference hall, his face was ashen, and his hands were already sweating.
When Yuan Fu heard the sound that shook the world, his face was already pale with fright. Looking at his father's face, his legs became swollen, and he immediately threw himself into Madam Yuan's arms.
"Mother! Mother! You must save me!"
Yuan Chongsheng couldn't bear it anymore, stood up suddenly, grabbed Yuan Fu's collar two or three times, and said through gnash teeth: "You scoundrel! Today's disaster is all because of you! You still have the face to cry !"
Mrs. Yuan cried: "My lord! What's the use of talking about it now! Why don't you think of a way to calm down those mobs outside!"
Yuan Chongsheng flung it away, and slapped the table with a bitter palm! He knew that although this matter appeared to be caused by Yuan Fu's incident, it was actually the grievances accumulated by those gangsters against the Xuntai Mansion these days, but he never expected that the matter would turn so bad!
"Master Cao!"
The pale Master Cao hurried forward.
"What's going on outside?"
Master Cao muttered, lowered his head, and remained silent.
Yuan Chongsheng listened to the "Unforgivable" that was higher than the wave, and his heart began to beat suddenly.
"Is He Jian a dry man? No one can take this!"
"My lord... the entire Suzaku Avenue is crowded with people, and the county guards sent here can't hold it down!"
"Nonsense! Are all the people in the capital in a panic!"
Master Cao suddenly knelt down, and his voice could no longer maintain his calm: "Not only the capital... people from other places have rushed over!"
Yuan Chongsheng sat down heavily on the chair, his expression pale.
In the conference hall, apart from the increasingly loud "unforgivable", only Madam Yuan was left weeping.
The air fell into a dead silence.
All the sound waves seemed to break through to the highest point. After a moment of silence, there was a sudden bang, and the sound waves exploded!
The gate of the mansion was broken!
Yuan Chongsheng seemed to wake up now. His lips trembled, and he said in a panic, "Come here! Guards! Where are the guards!"
The two guards in front of the gate held their swords tightly, looking ahead in panic and vigilance, obviously terrified.
After a while, the two ran into the hall in a panic,
"My lord... the mob! The mob rushed in!"
Before Yuan Chongsheng could think of an escape route, the gate of the conference hall was broken open with a bang, and the eyes of the crowded people showed hatred! Stand at the door!
The entire Suzaku Avenue has never seen so many people! The 5,000 soldiers sent by the county guards have been surrounded by layers of people and confronted each other. The remaining 60,000 soldiers were blocked at the gate of the capital. No one dared to give them an order to advance or retreat.
Enter, it is a horrific massacre of the people in the city! What's more, here are more or less the flesh and blood relatives of the soldiers!
Back, but also incompetent! Lingnan people! They've all become mobs!
They stalemate at the gate of the city, waiting for a final decision.
Today's Lingnan capital is like a riotous world, full of roaring mobs, they are clamoring in two bullock carts.
Yuan Chongsheng and his son Yuan Fu were stripped of their robes and left in a mess. They were tied to a bullock cart with thick ropes, and two people were also tied to the cart behind them, He Jian and Master Cao.
The four of them hang their heads, their faces are covered with sticky and dirty things, and half a person's height of eggshells and rotten vegetables and leaves are piled up under their feet.
Yuan Fu fainted, and the corners of his mouth were drooling.
In front, everyone gave way one after another. A team of more than a hundred people surrounded a carriage and entered from the West Street gate.
The team has the flag of Guang'an Palace, hunting and dancing in the wind.
The leading patriarchs stopped the crowd.
Soon, the carriage stopped in front of Yuan Chongsheng.
Yi Lie showed no expression on his face. He grabbed the reins and stopped in front of the carriage. He got off the horse and lifted the veil of the sedan chair.
The nobleman shook his hem loosely, and walked slowly in front of Yuan Chongsheng.
Looking at the beautiful face in front of him, Yuan Chongsheng only felt that he saw a beautiful snake with a tongue sticking out.
He finally had a reaction, narrowed his eyes slightly, clenched his teeth tightly, and uttered two words hoarsely: "It's you!"
