Xi Yangyu raised his right hand and waved it casually, and the soldiers who were submerged in the crowd were picked out by his mind and thrown to the side of the road.
The people who rushed to the city gate were also pulled back into the city by telekinesis.
The thoughts of the master can open monuments, crack rocks, and block rivers. However, every time a mind is branched out, the power of the mind will be weakened.
Being able to control thousands of people in an instant without letting anyone get hurt can only be done by the Master Zhuxiao.
Fortunately, we arrived.
He Fanshuang glanced at the scene, and his eyes rested on the young men disguised as ordinary people carrying the coffin. Without saying anything, he turned to look at the Taiyuan prefect.
Taiyuan Prefect also understood that now was an opportunity to make amends, so he took a few steps forward and took a deep breath.
He shouted to the dazed people of Taiyuan Prefecture who had untied their restraints: "Fellow fellow villagers, I know that you were all deceived by the thieves' leaflets and went astray for a while. That's why you stormed the city gate.
Please rest assured that the imperial court always takes the safety of the people as its top priority, and Taiyuan Yamen has heard your appeals.
Our Li Kuan is still studying potions in his mansion and will be able to achieve results soon. The days of lockdown will be over soon..."
"A lot of nonsense!"
A young man who carried a coffin and crashed into the city gate said angrily: "I always say that I have to trust the Yamen, but before the city was closed, who kept saying that there was no need to panic and worry?
Who is the person who tells people in cities far away from the epidemic area not to rush out of the city?
Who are the people who boast in newspapers and periodicals every day, take credit for the volunteers’ efforts, and report good news but not bad news? It’s not you!
Anyway, you don’t need to stay in the most severe plague area. You only need to sit in the government office with the talisman board every day, blowing in the cool breeze, and read the submitted list of plague victims.
The corpses carried out every day on the streets of Fangshi are just numbers to you.
How could you possibly understand what it’s like to be locked up in your home, hearing the news that your neighbors are being taken away, and being in constant panic all day long?”
The young man's shouts echoed in the sky south of the city.
Many people in Taiyuan Prefecture who poked their heads out had expressions of concern on their faces.
"I don't understand, so I'm here."
A calm statement came from outside the city gate, and everyone looked at it together.
I saw a fat young man wearing a purple robe walking slowly towards the city gate. He had a jade quilt tied around his waist and a mask on his face. He looked clearly...
"His Royal Highness the King of Yue?"
Xi Yangyu and the Taiyuan bureaucrats who were lucky enough to have seen Yue Wang Li Hui with their own eyes were shocked.
Li Hui was not alone. More than twenty riders stopped in front of the city gate, including Li Hui's auxiliary officers, guards, and Li Leling.
Seeing Li Leling appear, He Fanshuang raised her eyebrows in surprise.
The former also noticed He Fanshuang and nodded from a distance.
"I am the Yue King of Yu State, General Zuo Wuhou, leading the military affairs of the seven states of Wei, Li, Wei, Ming, Xing and Bei."
Li Huilang said: "The State of Yu will never give up on her people, and the court will never forget the people who were troubled by the plague.
I will eat and live with the people of Taiyuan Prefecture, and guard the city together!"
Li Hui's words were so resounding that the bureaucrats in Taiyuan Prefecture were moved. Even the people on the street looked at each other, wondering whether they should continue to run away.
"Prefect Guo."
Li Hui called to the prefect of Taiyuan Prefecture and said: "Please give the order and let the people go home."
"Oh."
The Taiyuan prefect woke up from a dream and said quickly: "Fellow folks, please come back. What happened today was all caused by the leaflets spread by thieves. The Yamen will not pursue it further."
With the intervention of the King of Yue and the assurance of the Taiyuan Governor, the people on the street finally dispersed.
The Taiyuan prefect, on the other hand, pulled the officer of the Zhenfu Division aside and whispered a few words.
To be able to gather so many people quietly, there must be someone behind it.
Taking into account the young men who carried the coffins who were suspected of being monks, the mastermind behind the whole thing was about to be revealed - there were only a few in the entire Taiyuan Mansion who had the ability to do it.
The officer of the Town and Fu Department asked his men to quietly follow the suspects to see where they were going.
Li Hui came over, waved his hand and said to the bureaucrats in Taiyuan Prefecture who were eager to flatter him: "Let's go to the Prefect's Prefecture first."
The group returned to the prefect's mansion, and Li Hui went to the laboratory to meet Li Ang and discuss the progress of the preparation of special medicines with Li Ang.
He Fanshuang pulled Li Leling to the corner and whispered: "Leling, why are you here?"
"I'm here to deliver a letter."
Li Leling stuck out her tongue and took out a letter signed by Jia Luo from her arms, "Yesterday Jia Luo's letter was sent to Chang'an, but due to the traffic blockade, it could not be delivered to Taiyuan Prefecture.
I asked my fourth brother to take me to Taiyuan Prefecture - he happened to be sent to Hebei Province to take charge of plague prevention in Xiangzhou and other places."
"Really?"
He Fanshuang glanced at the letter. No matter how important the letter was, there was no need for the princess of Yu State to deliver it in person.
Li Leling was clearly worried about Li Ang's situation and came here specially.
He Fanshuang paused for a moment and said calmly without revealing Li Leling's words: "Taiyuan Mansion is not considered safe. As a friend, I still recommend that you return to Chang'an as soon as possible after sending this letter."
Li Leling hesitated and said: "Unsafe means..."
"A noble family in the city."
He Fanshuang said calmly: "The group of people who carried the coffin on the street just now were obviously secretly gathered by the gentry and the like.
If Xi Yangyu Siye does not arrive in time today, let them use a coffin to break open the city gate and the people to escape from the city.
Even if the Taiyuan Prefecture's Zhenfu Division can capture all the people afterwards, it will cause irreparable negative effects.
And if we speculate with a more evil intention, those monks hiding in the crowd may just want to see the sergeants beating the people and the people killing the sergeants. It would be best if both sides can shed blood in a river, so as to disturb the people of Taiyuan Prefecture.
As long as the bloodshed is large enough and tragic enough, the Chang'an court can completely withdraw its order, compromise with the family, and let them leave the state capital first to protect themselves.
Using human life as a chess piece and the current situation as a chessboard, those thousand-year-old families can definitely do it.
Moreover, they have been entrenched here for too long, and they do not need family members to come forward in person. They can complete the plan by assigning the people below.
For example, those leaflets were printed and distributed privately by some wealthy businessmen, and on the surface they had nothing to do with the palace.
It is also difficult for the Zhenfu Division to find evidence to convict Wang."
For his friend Li Leling, He Fanshuang was particularly sincere and said far more than usual.
"Then Li Ang..."
Li Leling looked worried.
"He's okay. No matter how crazy the family is, they wouldn't dare to sneak into the prefect's mansion and attack him - that would be the same as treason."
He Fanshuang said seriously: "What we can do is to reduce his worries so that he can study drugs without any burden."
"..."
Li Leling was silent for a long time, then suddenly raised her head and said, "I understand, but I still want to stay."
He Fanshuang frowned slightly, "Huh?"
"Fan Shuang, you also said that the fundamental purpose of the aristocratic families in the city is to leave the people in the city and escape.
For this reason, they do not hesitate to use the common people as pawns to achieve a bloody river."
Li Leling took a deep breath and smiled: "With a prince and a princess staying in the city, can it make the family more worried?"
