Just as the three patriarchs and the elder were racking their brains to discuss countermeasures, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside.
A tall and sturdy young man rushed in, panting and holding the door frame, not paying attention to the courtesy, and nervously pointing in the direction outside the city.
"No, it's not good! Army, yes, there is army, here we come!"
"What!" The three patriarchs were shocked.
"You mean, an army is coming to us?"
The young descendant nodded and said with a pale face: "There are thousands of people from the army, all of them are cavalry. Just now I saw a large group of people in Wuyang and Wuyang from a distance in front of the city gate. These people came straight to our Danford County, should, should not be... "
Calm down civil unrest and punish treason.
These eight big characters flashed in the minds of everyone, and the faces of the patriarchs and elders of the three families were all turned pale.
"It's over, it's over, we inadvertently hurt the lord, and we couldn't find the hand of the bastard. Yesterday we also besieged the yamen, and the matter is so big, I'm afraid there is no room for us to justify it. The imperial court is sending troops. Come to suppress!"
"Send troops to suppress, suppress, how to suppress." The youth stuttered in fright.
"How else can we suppress it, and what will the court do to those who rebel?"
Everyone was shocked and pale.
From this point of view, the imperial court dispatched troops so quickly, clearly to destroy them!
"There is an injustice, a debt, and a master. We did this thing, and it wasn't us who stabbed the prince!" It's not a letter of guarantee, and it's not to assassinate the lord, who is the bastard who did such a thing, isn't it to kill everyone in our town!"
"Shouting and yelling at this time can't solve all the problems. The key is how to calm the anger of the prince."
"But the lord doesn't know what's going on at this time."
…
Everyone has been in chaos. Even the head of each family and the elderly are ordinary people. Since ancient times, people have not fought against officials. This time, they were forced to do nothing. When the solution came, what I thought was that all the people in the county would get together, and I didn't believe that the prince would not agree.
However, the advantages of having more people and more people, but now the disadvantages are coming. Gathering a crowd to petition and gathering to rebel are two completely different meanings.
Everyone panicked and arranged for the younger generation of each family to go outside the city to inquire about the situation.
After a cup of tea, another junior came back out of breath.
"Patriarch, those soldiers are now stopped by the people in the prince's tent. At this moment, those people stopped outside the city and have no intention of approaching for the time being."
"Could it be that these people are discussing to attack our county?"
"It's hard to say, Cheng Zhixian is still kneeling outside the prince's camp right now. Maybe that's the case."
"That's good! If we really attacked us, how could our crops be our opponents as soldiers? It is said that the people who came this time were all from the Fifth Army Battalion. These people are usually guarding the important places in Gyeonggi. This time it was really…”
After that, a few people can't talk anymore.
It's just that the people couldn't come close if they wanted to hear the news, so they didn't know the details outside the camp at this time.
The Governor of the East Road, who led the East Road Army of the Fifth Army Camp, was a subordinate of Zeng Pang Xiao. At the age of 30 and 2, the surname is Ma and the name is Cheng, and his personality is extraordinarily hot and forthright.
Ma Cheng led 3,000 cavalry of the East Route Army to the outside of Danfu County, and immediately attacked Danfu County with an overwhelming advantage, but they were stopped in time by Xie Yue and Xu Weizhi.
Xu Weizhi and Xie Yue were Pang Xiao's advisors, and Ma Cheng had worked with Pang Xiao before, and naturally they had met many times. Seeing these two now, Ma Cheng naturally wouldn't take it lightly and greeted each other with a smile.
"Mr. Xu, Mr. Xie, I will hear the news of the Lord's request for help at the end, and immediately select three thousand soldiers and horses to come to pacify the chaos day and night, and I have also left a letter to ask someone to report on their behalf." Ma Chengdian Dandan In the direction of the city gate of Fuxian County, he said solemnly: "But someone in this city is rebelling?"
Xie Yue scolded Tao Hanshan for causing trouble in his heart, but he didn't show it well, and said solemnly: "Thank you, Governor, for coming in time, you brothers have really worked hard."
"Don't dare, don't dare, how is the situation in the city now? Where is the prince?"
Ma Cheng admired and respected Pang Xiao very much. At this time, Pang Xiao was not seen coming out, so he was somewhat worried.
Xu Weizhi smiled bitterly and said: "The governor does not know anything, the matter in this city is not a rebellion, the matter is not simple, and I can't explain it in a few words. The prince and he were seriously injured. ."
"Your Highness is injured?" Ma Cheng was stunned, "A character as powerful as Your Highness would be injured, how dare such a powerful person do this! I'd like to meet for a while!"
"No, no, the Governor has misunderstood." Xie Yue sighed, "This matter is really complicated, let's put it simply. When Huichuan County built the imperial mausoleum, people from Danfu County were requisitioned, but after these people left, But there are not one out of ten, and there are countless people dying of exhaustion and starvation.”
Xu Weizhi also sighed sympathetically, and continued, "Due to the past, every family in Danfu County was extremely afraid of building the imperial mausoleum and did not dare to let the strong men go, so the people did not go to Huichuan County to report. The prince came here to investigate the reason for this matter, and the people knew that there was a channel for redress, and immediately surrounded the prince who was staying with them."
"Yeah, the people petitioned, asking the lord to write a letter of guarantee that the people of Danfu County would not be requisitioned to build the imperial mausoleum in the future. But the lord is the supervisor of the construction of the imperial mausoleum, and it is difficult for him to make a decision for a while. While being besieged and arguing, I was stabbed by a scythe that I don't know who brought it."
Xie Yue and Xu Weizhi complemented each other. In the future, the origins of the story will be made clear, and the helplessness of the people will be expressed vividly. It will never give people the opportunity to misunderstand that the people of Danfu County are going to rebel.
Hearing this, Ma Cheng frowned, "But that's not what the lord said when he asked for help. The final commander will lead three thousand cavalry soldiers to solve the problem of rebellion here."
"Nothing." Xie Yue waved his hand and said helplessly and apologetically, "At that time, the situation was urgent and we were all surrounded. We didn't know what to do for a while, so we let the people under him take the time to write a letter for help. The monkey who wrote the letter didn't say it clearly, to cause such a big misunderstanding, it's really a sin!"
Although Ma Cheng seems to be a reckless man, he naturally has his own meticulousness in his actions. He said that someone wrote a letter for help that was wrong, and the expression was unclear. He did not believe it was killing him.
There must be a secret in this.
But Ma Cheng is a smart person. He knows there are things he shouldn't know, so don't ask more. Asking too much is easy to get burned.
"This... But the army and horses are so far here, there is still such a secret about this matter. If it is not handled well, it will become a private deployment of troops. This matter must be reported to the Holy Master at the end of the day."
