At the corner of the street, Qin Yining was wearing an inky blue splendid cloak and a Guanyin pocket of the same color, hiding half of his face in the shadows. Seeing that Gao Dianshi actually used Pang Xiao's identity to scare people, he couldn't help sneering.
Probably only such a brazen person can teach a scum like Young Master Gao.
Qin Yining was still able to keep her composure, but the people around her couldn't, and they gnashed their teeth and cursed Gao Dianshi along with the refugees.
And the people who were deterred by Gao Dianshi's mention of Pang Xiao finally came to their senses at this time, and the scolding resumed. The people who dared to swear this time were all those men with a hot temper and a sense of justice.
"You corrupt official, let the money Dashan and Lu Dashan come out! Let out the old lady who has done good deeds before!"
"You don't care about our life or death, and you don't let others control our life and death, what is the law of nature!"
"Your house is decorated with lanterns and delicious food. Have you ever thought that our family is likely to starve to death and freeze to death!"
"Amplify the good people out!"
…
Someone took the lead in shouting, arousing everyone's attention. They came for food, and they couldn't achieve their goals by just scolding Gao Dianshi. They had to make demands and make Gao Dianshi have to agree!
The people shouted loudly one by one, and even the timid refugees who had been frightened just now agreed to let Gao Dianshi release them.
Nearly a thousand people expressed their opinions, and most of them shouted angrily. Such a "quarrel" scene was something Qin Yining had never seen before.
Beside Qin Yining, Jing Zhe and the shopkeeper Zhong Da both fell silent.
Looking at Gao Dianshi, whose face was blue-faced by the roar of so many people, Manager Zhong Da couldn't help shaking his head and said in a low voice, "No wonder there is a saying that water can carry a boat and capsize it. This is only a thousand people, so it's so shocking. What if the people in the world are dissatisfied? You don’t have to do anything, just a single word from one person can shock people to death.”
Qin Yining shook his head: "That's the truth, but the premise is that all the people in the world have a common purpose. And what makes everyone have a common purpose? Naturally, it is a common interest."
He raised his hand gently, the mink fur collar swayed in the wind, and the black mink fur was bright and smooth, "If everyone came here for the same purpose, everyone has their own little ninety-nine, and it is impossible to be so concentric. cooperate."
This is not to belittle the loyalty and sense of justice of the refugees, but the simplest and most simple human nature.
People are all selfish, and they are all protecting themselves. If it is not related to matters that are closely related to their own survival, how can they stand up for others and risk their own lives
Shopkeeper Zhong Da was stunned for a while, then shook his head with a wry smile and said: "What the princess said is. If it wasn't for the princess' clever tricks to let everything happen in sequence at the best time, then the situation might not have happened. It's so oppressive now."
Because as long as Qin Yining didn't take action at the right time, just relying on the angry people, they would not be as angry as they are now, and they would not be concentrated in one place. Maybe they would shrink their necks when they saw the signs of what was about to happen. dodge.
The fact that more than a thousand people are now able to gather together for the same purpose, this scene really makes the shopkeeper Zhong Da and Jing Zhe and the others admire them.
The princess has always been so smart, always able to instruct everyone on what to do next at the most critical moment. You can always find the essence of things in the intricate discoveries, so as to think of better ways to solve all problems.
During the conversation, Gao Dianshi was already arguing with the people more and more fiercely, and even drew his sword against each other.
The refugees fell silent for a moment when Gao Dianshi drew his sword.
However, the leader of the refugees was obviously also aroused bloody, regardless of Gao Dianshi's knife pointing at himself, he still said loudly: "We didn't come here because we wanted to be disadvantaged to unrelated people, we are not you, not as despicable as you are. , to kill innocent people indiscriminately!"
"That's right, we just want you to let the innocent people go! Not only did you refuse, but you pointed a knife at us. Can anyone with a knife be unreasonable!"
"Believe it or not, I'll cut you first!" Gao Dianshi fiercely waved the saber in his hand.
The threatened refugee was not a vegetarian either, and immediately stretched his neck and said, "You cut me, you killed me, and someone will avenge me! Anyway, I can't live anymore. Even if I don't get killed by you, the next day I will also starve to death, freeze to death! Now I will die instead of simply!"
The refugees in the back were so angry that they all pointed at Gao Dianshi and shouted, "You dare!"
Although everyone's voice was confused, when everyone was staring at him and threatening him, it was Gao Dianshi's heart that was still a little scared.
He said that he wanted to kill, but to scare these people, it is best to scare them away.
They were not like refugees who were quiet and well-behaved like rabbits, even if he stretched out his hand and slapped them, they didn't have the guts to say "no", but cowardly people who wanted to walk away in despair. Today, they are not even afraid of death. !
If he really moved someone, the next moment would be his home, his wife, children and several concubines, afraid that they would all be attacked by the disaster victims, and his ten thousand family wealth would also be looted, and the consequences would be unimaginable. .
Just as the refugees were so excited, the women, children and family members in the high house trembled like a leaf in a storm, Gao Dianshi suddenly thought of a solution.
"This matter wasn't my decision in the first place. I'm a classic, but I'm just following orders. It's not my idea! It's useless for you to block my door here!"
The refugees were stunned for a moment, not knowing what to say for a while.
Gao Dianshi was relieved when he saw that the scene was quiet and the situation seemed to have eased. It seems he found the right way.
Gao Dianshi continued to say loudly: "I usually do things for the imperial court. Although I am strict, I also do things with justice. I am not arresting people based on my preferences, but arresting the real guilty people. The people I arrest are all It's someone who violated the law of the Great Zhou Dynasty, is it difficult for everyone who enforces the law impartially to face yours!"
Everyone looked at each other.
Qin Yining squinted his eyes and said with a low voice, "It seems that we underestimated him, and even if we quibble, we are right."
Shopkeeper Zhong Da and Jing Zhe both looked at each other with contempt, and Jing Zhe immediately winked at a certain place in the crowd.
"We don't believe it! You are clearly shiing away from the guilt! You see that we are so numerous and powerful that you are afraid. If you want to pass the blame to others and fool us, there is no way!
"Don't you mean that someone instructs you, and everything is done by an official who is older than you! You let him out, we have to confront the official and ask him why he wants to arrest people!"
In a word, the refugees who didn't even know a single word were nodding their heads frequently.
Everyone agreed: "Yes, find your high official, we have to ask him!"
Gao Dianshi's face darkened.
Unexpectedly, this group of people is so difficult to fool, looking for Shangguan? Could he still invite Yang Zhifu over
Seeing that Gao Dianshi's pestle was in place like a wooden stake, he refused to say a word, and someone took the lead in cursing: "You are clearly shirk your responsibility and want to fool us first! Let go of the money, Da Shanren! Let it be done! A good man who has done good things!"
The man roared and shook his fist vigorously. Such an appealing action inspired everyone's pride, and everyone shouted.
The front of the Gao Mansion, which had been quiet for only a moment, became chaotic again, and the refugees were still crowding in the direction of Gao Dianshi. There were even some angry refugees who were standing in the back, unable to reach Gao Dianshi, so they all turned to the prefect yamen not far away and rushed over.
When there was trouble here, the gate of the prefect's yamen was already closed, and only a few officers had their ears pressed against the door panel to hear what was going on outside. At this moment, not only were the refugees not appeased, but they rushed directly to the prefectural government office. All the officers panicked, scolding Gao Dianshi for throwing all the mistakes on them, and they hurried to find the guy. The matter came to the top, for fear that the gate would be breached by the refugees.
The more than 1,000 refugees were divided into two teams, one team scolded Gao Dianshi, and the other team went directly to break through the gate of the prefectural government.
The roars of the crowd resounded through the sky, not to mention what the people in Gaofu thought when they heard these, just standing on the corner of the street and watching the whole scene, Qin Yining could feel a deep shock, and his heart was beating wildly with the fluctuating crowd. .
Everything is developing according to Qin Yining's plan, but in fact she is not happy, but is worried about sweating for these poor people. She is afraid of casualties. If anyone loses their life because of this, it is her. sin, she will have a troubled conscience.
At this moment, there was a sudden sound of hooves at the corner of the street.
I saw an official coming in a hurry, shouting at Gao Dianshi from a long way away: "Yang Zhifu is dead, hurry up and release Qian Gui!"
At this moment, Gao Dianshi was holding the knife sideways, and the blade was about to swing against the people. Hearing this loud roar, not only the people, but also Gao Dianshi himself were stunned.
The sharp blade stopped in the same place, exuding a flash of cold light, Gao Dian Shi's eyes were split, and he suddenly looked at the officer on horseback.
The people also turned their heads and looked at the person who came to spread the word.
The man looked uncomfortable and shouted loudly: "Gao Wenyao! Don't you want to openly disobey the order! The prefect is kind-hearted and of good character. He is a good official who thinks about the people, but you, you You poured dirty water on the prefect for your own selfish desires! You slandered the imperial officials so much, the prefect must report it to the Shangguan to know!"
"You! When did I slander the prefect! You..."
"Don't you hurry up and let people out! Don't you want to delay time!"
Gao Dianshi's face was swept away by the reprimand, but at this time he couldn't care less, so he could only comfort the people around Yang Zhifu first, get over the current difficulties, and then go back and apologize to the prefect.
Thinking of this, Gao Dianshi immediately ordered his subordinates with a sullen face: "Don't go and release Qian Gui! Act quickly!"
