The victims rushed forward like a flood. At first glance, they were densely packed, which was very scary.
These more than 20 yamen officers in such a battle are undoubtedly a man's arm blocking the car.
They could only retreat to the side in embarrassment. Seeing that there were people in the rear team dressed as soldiers, they rushed over and said, "You don't care. If you attack the city, no one can escape."
The soldiers ignored them. At this time, several knights came running from the rear, headed by a brocade guard wearing a round neck armor.
"Why are you blocking our way?"
This said. Don't look at the fact that the yamen officers dared to challenge the soldiers, but they did not dare to talk to the Jin Yiwei people. Jin Yiwei is the emperor's own army. Who doesn't know, it's not that he doesn't want to live.
So the head of the yamen can only have a bitter face, and tell the story again in the future.
"Your Excellency Imperial Commissioner has taken a step in advance, so I will be instructed to protect these victims along the way, and we will not take care of the rest. It is useless for you to tell us this. Besides, these victims are looking for Lord Imperial Commissioner. How could it be possible to attack the Fucheng, it's better not to alarmist."
"This… "
"Don't retreat quickly, don't block our way." Some people scolded, these yamen officers naturally dare not stop them, they can only watch these people go away.
The victims soon came to the Kaifeng Mansion Yili, and the Mansion City had already closed the city gates because of the news.
In the governor's yamen, the political envoy Jiang Zhiyi was furious, and the news that he repeatedly urged Wu Xu to Guangji Cang came.
Wu Xu turned around in a hurry and said, "Xiaguan has already sent someone, but now the city gate is closed, I don't know if I can come in."
"Then you don't know how many people you will send to guard the city gate?"
"I'm going to do it now, sir."
After Wu Xu went down, Jiang Zhiyi paced back and forth worriedly.
Sitting in the first place, the governor Xiang Long, who has been silent, said, "If you knew today, why didn't you think about it when you started?"
Jiang Zhiyi was also full of grief: "How did I know that these victims would make such a scene!"
"If this official is right, then there must be some instigation among the victims." Xiang Long said slowly.
Hearing this, Jiang Zhiyi immediately looked over and stared at Xiang Long without moving his eyes.
"What does Lord Zhongcheng mean?"
"It goes without saying that these disaster victims don't know each other, and they have always been scattered. Even if they are in a group, they are only a few, and the hundreds are already breaking the sky. But look at how many people are surrounded by so many victims. You can even imagine the impossibility with your butt,” said Lu Yanshou, the inspector who had been drinking tea beside him.
"Then what you mean by-" Jiang Zhiyi paused, gasping for breath, "Isn't the imperial envoy dead?"
Lu Yanshou put down the tea cup and said leisurely, "I don't know if he is dead or not. Maybe your subordinates are alert, but Xue Tingxiang was shrewd and confused for a while, and just happened to be killed by the grain officer."
The other party's tone sounded too harsh, Jiang Zhiyi wasn't a fool, but he was so anxious that he didn't care. Hearing the other party say this at this time, his anger was ignited immediately.
"What does Master Lu mean by saying this? If the imperial envoy is not dead, he can't get away from me, but he can get away with you? You don't take much of the benefits of Wu Xu. Why are you pretending to stay out of trouble with me here!"
"This official has an accident? Why didn't you think about the consequences when you let the surnamed Wu move his head..."
"Okay, what's the noise!"
A cold drink sounded in vain, Jiang Zhiyi and Lu Yanshou stopped arguing, but they were still angry, and they were obviously not relieved.
"The enemy hasn't arrived yet, but you yourself are in chaos. According to the official's opinion, you still have to go to the door to take the blame and die, and you don't need to talk so much nonsense." Xiang Long looked at the two with cold eyes.
"Master Zhongcheng, the lower official doesn't want to quarrel with him, but look at what he said." Jiang Zhiyi said aggrieved.
"Now is not the time to talk about this. The most important thing now is to find out what's going on in Guangji Cang. You go and watch your subordinates and let them pass the news as soon as they have any news. If they don't come back, send another person. go."
"But..." Jiang Zhiyi wanted to say something, but fell silent under Xiang Long's stare.
Jiang Zhiyi went down in a hurry, and Lu Yanshou looked at Xiang Long and said, "Sir, what should I do now?"
Xiang Long stroked his beard, and a cold light flashed in his eyes: "Prepare with both hands."
After Lu Yanshou was startled, he nodded immediately.
Things were going from bad to worse.
Those disaster victims blocked the city gate, and people outside could not get in, and people inside could not get out.
Jiang Zhiyi was furious, but the two groups of people sent to Guangji Cang never came back.
The moon rises, and the night falls.
He also tried to send a third group of people out, but there was no way to get out. The victims kept calling for the city gate to be opened, but seeing that the inside was not open, they actually fell asleep directly outside the city gate at night.
Another day when the sun rises, the people in the city are even more sad.
The sound of beating on the door continued, and while beating, he said that he was looking for the imperial envoy.
More and more victims gathered outside, and even other victims rushed to the place. According to word of mouth, it was passed on from ten to ten, but it was rumored that the imperial envoy was killed by the officials inside.
You must know that there are not only a few officials in this city, but also many civilians. In fact, they can also be regarded as victims of disasters, but the local prefect has placed them well, closed the city gate in time, and opened the warehouse to put food and porridge. For the time being, there is no chaos in the city.
Now that the gates of the city are blocked, and there are rumors that the imperial emissary sent to relieve the disaster has been killed, people in the city are also panicking.
Jiang Zhiyi wanted to send troops to suppress the victims, but unfortunately Wei Yitao did not see him behind closed doors. He clearly did not intend to go into troubled waters, so he pointed at the yamen of several government offices, fearing that he would be suppressed after going out.
"Master Zhang, do you care about this matter or not, you are the prefect of this Kaifeng mansion, and now that the city gate is being attacked by the mob, you just watch it?" Wu Xu said in a rage.
Zhang Sheng is in a temporary tent to see the situation of the victims.
There was also an epidemic in Kaifeng Mansion. Fortunately, the isolation was timely, but there were not many casualties. Now these sick victims are gradually getting better. Zhang Sheng comes to visit every day. He is afraid that the people below will find fish in troubled waters, and that there will be a shortage of soup and medicine for the victims. It is time to make a big mistake.
"Master Wu, please don't say that, Zhang is just a small prefect. Now in Kaifeng City, there are several adults such as the governor, the governor, and the inspector, but it is not Zhang's turn to be the big head. ."
Wu Xu's face was very ugly: "But this Kaifeng mansion is under your control. When the mob rushes into the city, will you be able to get rid of it?"
"If you can't get rid of the relationship, you can't get rid of the relationship. Now there is such chaos outside. As a local parent and official, there is nothing I can do, and I can only sit and watch the people suffer. Zuo will only be held accountable by the court. It's over. Waiting for this matter, the big deal is to be dismissed from office for the people, and the lower official has already been psychologically prepared."
"You—" Wu Xu was in a hurry, his face darkened, and he said: "Does Master Zhang still regret the fact that this official prevented you from putting food in and letting you take in the victims? This was not decided by this official alone. , you need to know that the victims are small, and the hundreds of thousands of people in Kaifeng House are the most important, even Kaifeng is in chaos, you and me and even a few adults will be dismissed from office."
Zhang Sheng smiled coldly, and his thin face was full of insightful colors: "Don't dare, Xiaguan is just a little prefect, and he can't hold grudges, and he doesn't dare to hold grudges."
"So you don't want to come forward to stop this?"
"Master Wu, don't force others to be difficult. The lower official has an 80-year-old mother, and there are several wives and children. How can this official solve the problem that several adults can't solve, and it will not be swallowed by those disaster victims when they go out. "
"Okay, you're fine!" Wu Xu flicked his sleeves and left angrily.
After he left, a yamen came forward and asked in a low voice, "Master, this offends Master Wu—"
"I've been offended a long time ago, and it's not bad this time."
After Wu Xu left here, he hurried to the Fansi Yamen.
After seeing Jiang Zhiyi, he reported: "Sir, that Zhang Sheng is reluctant to come forward."
Although Zhang Sheng is a small prefect, he is quite well-known among the people. This time, when the disaster happened, he came forward to preside over the affairs of Kaifeng City, and everything was in good order.
In particular, he disregarded the above orders, he just took in a group of disaster victims, and gave more than half of the food in the Changping Warehouse under the Kaifeng government, which was quite loved by the disaster victims.
If this matter is up to him, at least the people in the city will not follow suit.
If there is no chaos in the city, we are not afraid of chaos outside for the time being. It would be better if Zhang Sheng could persuade the victims outside, but unfortunately the other party did not agree.
Wu Xu could not wait to slash Zhang Sheng with one knife!
"In this way, we can only think of other ways." Jiang Zhiyi sighed.
In just a few days, he was actually quite haggard, and his eyes were sunken.
"That lord, what is your subordinate now?"
"You go back to rest first, and you have worked hard for two days in a row."
"It's not hard work."
After Wu Xu left, a cold light flashed in Jiang Zhiyi's eyes.
