Public opinion can indeed be dominated!
Because of the first sentence of the county guard's mansion, more than 20,000 people became restless. At this moment, in the team of more than 20,000 people, several people with loud voices shouted from different directions.
"Master Nan Guo didn't embezzle food, where can I find so much food?"
"His Royal Highness King Qin, please spare Mr. Nan Guo. Mr. Nan Guo is dedicated to serving the common people. He even gave out the old mother's food!"
"That's right, please forgive Lord Nan Guo, His Royal Highness King Qin!"
"Let's beg His Highness King Qin together!"
…
Gradually, the voices begging for mercy on behalf of Nan Guo Mingde became louder and became dominant. Those who did not want to plead for Nan Guo Mingde either stopped talking or shouted with everyone.
Soon, many people knelt down and begged.
Originally, Long Feiye was fighting for food for the people, but in the end it turned out that the people were pleading for Nan Guo Mingde. I have to say, this is indeed Nan Guo Mingde's skill.
Good job!
Faced with these, Long Feiye was always like a bystander. He lowered his head and looked down at Nan Guo Mingde who had been kneeling at his feet, with a trace of disdain on his lips.
How could Long Feiye put such methods in his eyes
Nan Guo Mingde didn't dare to raise his head to look at Long Feiye, he lowered his head, rolled his calculating eyeballs a few times, and quickly looked at the common people again.
He raised his hands, "Everyone be quiet! Listen to me!"
Needless to say, he is still courageous. When he said this, everyone present fell silent.
"Everyone, if you can plead for me today, I, Nanguo Mingde, the county guard, will not be in vain. It is worth it! If I die under the sword of King Qin today, and die in front of everyone, I will have no regrets! I just can't let go One thing, if I leave, who will beg for food for everyone?"
After hearing this, seeing Nan Guo Mingde's tragic face, everyone couldn't help but feel sad, and many people actually showed expressions of reluctance.
Master Nan Guo really cares about the common people all the time!
Nan Guo Mingde continued to speak loudly, "To tell you the truth, the government's disaster relief food was distributed to Ningnan County only over 2,000 dan, that is, the ones distributed to the disaster victims in the suburbs last month."
Everyone knows that there is little food for disaster relief, but everyone doesn't know that there is so little food distributed here.
As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar, no wonder Mr. Nan Guo didn't pay the rations, it turned out that he also had some difficulties!
"Everyone! Everyone, listen to me! Please stop pleading for me! As everyone's parent officer, I, Nan Guo Mingde, would like to die and apologize. I just ask His Royal Highness King Qin to take pity on the tens of thousands of disaster victims in Ningnan County, and for my Ningnan County. Send more food!"
After Nan Guo Mingde finished speaking, he finally raised his head to look at Long Feiye, meeting Long Feiye's scrutinizing gaze, he was guilty but held back after all.
Suddenly, someone in the crowd yelled, "Where did all the food for the imperial court's disaster relief go? What got it?"
In the other direction, someone shouted loudly, "There is still money for disaster relief from the imperial court! I haven't seen it either!"
"His Royal Highness, where is the money for the charity sale?"
Tsk tsk tsk, who gave this group of people the courage to question Long Feiye directly
The cold arc of Long Feiye's mouth was getting bigger and bigger, but Nan Guo Mingde couldn't understand it. He turned his head and looked in the direction of the shout, and said sharply, "Don't be presumptuous! His Royal Highness Qin Wang was sent by the emperor to provide disaster relief. As an imperial envoy for disaster relief, His Royal Highness King Qin will definitely save everyone! There must be a way to distribute food to everyone!"
Knowing that at this juncture, it is extremely difficult for anyone with money to buy food, yet Nan Guo Mingde praised Long Feiye so much.
"Everyone beg together, beg His Royal Highness King Qin to send food!"
"His Royal Highness King Qin, don't embarrass Mr. Nan Guo anymore, and send food for everyone!"
…
Gradually, the people in the long line rushed to the front one after another, begging for food loudly with the people in front.
The scene was about to get out of control, the common people kept calling "His Royal Highness King Qin", but Long Feiye hadn't even looked at them so far.
He was as indifferent as an iceberg, looking down at Nan Guo Mingde, with a low and cold voice, he asked, "Have you pretended enough?"
Nan Guo Mingde trembled all over and nearly rolled down the stone steps. He never expected that this cold-faced prince could be so calm in such a chaotic situation, and he could see through his tricks at a glance.
Although he was afraid, Nan Guo Mingde still gritted his teeth to stabilize himself.
At this moment, it was already a matter of life and death. If this catastrophe passed, everything would be fine, get promoted and get rich, and stay away from Ningnan County; if this catastrophe could not pass, it would be a dead end.
He pretended not to hear what Long Feiye said, he took a step back, kowtowed exaggeratedly, and kowtowed, "Please His Highness King Qin for food! Please His Highness King Qin for food!"
This was a secret signal, seeing this, a few servants behind him slipped away, and not long after, they came back with bad news.
"Report, there are a large number of disaster victims in Nancheng, begging His Royal Highness King Qin to send food!"
"Report, a large number of disaster victims broke through the city gate in the west of the city, and they couldn't control it. They shouted for His Royal Highness King Qin to distribute food."
"Report, there are more than 4,000 disaster victims rioting in the east of the city. The officers and soldiers can't stop them. They have already rushed here!"
Undoubtedly, Lord Yu came to cooperate with Nan Guo Mingde!
The corner of Nan Guo Mingde's mouth flitted with a hint of viciousness, and he stood up directly, "Come here, protect His Highness King Qin!"
It's fine if he didn't say that, but when he said that, someone in the crowd immediately shouted, "His Royal Highness King Qin can't be allowed to go! His Highness King Qin must give everyone an explanation!"
All of a sudden, voices echoed, "His Royal Highness King Qin can't leave! If everyone hasn't seen the food, His Highness King Qin can't leave!"
"His Royal Highness Qin Wang, don't you spend so much money on charity sales to buy food?"
"His Royal Highness Qin Wang, where did the treasury send so much food? The common people haven't seen any of it!"
The more than 20,000 people were in chaos, rushing forward excitedly, and they didn't know who let go of the fence, but a group of people poured in from behind, blocking the gate of the Sheriff's Mansion tightly, trapping Long Feiye in the center.
There were voices of begging for food, protests, and questions one after another, and soon, countless victims of disasters at the Sifang City Gate also poured in.
This group of disaster victims was organized and had been incited long ago. They were more excited, outraged, and crazy than the more than 20,000 people present!
They all rushed forward desperately, shouting and shouting were no longer polite words, but very direct questions.
"His Royal Highness Qin Wang, it is said that you embezzled the money from charity sales and did not use it to buy food, but is it true?"
"His Royal Highness Qin Wang, take out the food and let everyone have a look. Aren't you here to help the disaster?"
"Why didn't the imperial envoys bring food?"
"Where is Princess Qin? What about the disaster! It's all the money that Princess Qin spent on disaster relief, right?"
"His Royal Highness, what about the government's disaster relief food? Where did it go? You have to explain to everyone!"
…
The scene was completely out of control, and there were even stampedes in several places.
Nan Guo Mingde ordered the officers and soldiers to form a circle with spears to isolate the surrounding people, forming the last line of defense.
At this time, he looked helpless, "Your Highness, please tell everyone! Or this..."
"What else?" Long Feiye asked coldly.
Letting others criticize him, he remained indifferent, his cold eyes swept over the people around him one by one, and the victims he had never seen were all here and here.
He just waited for these people to come, waited for these people to make trouble, and waited for the people behind the scenes to show up.
Nan Guo Mingde was ready to go all out, and replied seriously, "Your Highness, there are tens of thousands of disaster victims in Ningnan County, why don't you avoid them?"
How could Long Feiye avoid it? Once he avoided it, he would be guilty!
"Is everything here?" He asked coldly.
Nan Guo Mingde was very surprised, he couldn't figure out what he meant by these words
"Is everything here?" Long Feiye asked again.
Nan Guo Mingde felt uneasy. He opened his mouth, but he didn't know how to answer. At this moment, Mr. Yu, who was pretending to be hidden in the crowd, immediately winked at the officers and soldiers beside him when he saw this.
The officers and soldiers holding long guns to stop the victims suddenly let go of their guns. For a moment, tens of thousands of victims rushed forward. The momentum was almost tearing people apart. Anyone who saw it would be scared.
"King Qin, you can't leave!"
"King Qin, hand over the food! Hand over all the corrupted food!"
"Hand over the money for disaster relief, and hand over Princess Qin!"
…
This group of disaster victims has become a mob, what they say is more terrifying than rumors, accusations, questions, demands filled with righteous indignation, people who don't know will believe that Long Feiye has embezzled money, food, and all the previous rumors it is true.
Seeing that the disaster victims were about to rush over, at this moment, Long Feiye drew out his long sword without warning, raised it high and pierced the sky!
In an instant, all the disaster victims who were falling forward stopped abruptly!
Such a riot is for a ration and a life, who would really want to die
Long Feiye frightened tens of thousands of victims with just one action. Nan Guo Mingde beside him was stunned. He thought His Royal Highness King Qin would have no choice but to flee, but who would have thought that he would draw his sword!
He... What is he going to do
Lord Yu was also very surprised, but there was a sinister smile on the corner of his mouth, he thought King Qin must be in a hurry, either he wanted to kill the people, or he wanted to kill Nan Guo Mingde.
Anyway, the situation has developed to the point where it cannot be dealt with, and the disaster victims rioted, His Royal Highness King Qin has to face it if not face it. No matter which way he does it, his image will not be restored. Rumors will come true, King Qin is corrupt, and King Qin is incapable of serving as an imperial envoy for disaster relief.
Soon, the news will spread to all the disaster areas, and because of the deployment made by the adults, other disaster areas will soon have a big riot just like this side.
The three major disaster areas all rioted and condemned His Royal Highness King Qin. At that time, Emperor Tianhui could order that His Highness King Qin be strictly investigated and the prince's title be stripped to appease the public anger.
Thinking of this, Master Yu became excited, and he decided to push King Qin again.
He winked at the attendant who was pretending to be a disaster victim, and the attendant immediately threw himself at Long Feiye's sword, "His Royal Highness, where is our food?"
