"Those rumors in the city are the work of the concubine."
Jiang Tang's casual words made the little smiles in Nan Xing's eyes disappear instantly.
He looked towards her subconsciously.
Jiang Tang didn't look at him: "She is coming to Huai'an."
The silence of the past six months made Jiang Tang think for a while that the concubine Fang had changed her ways and no longer wanted to be the male protagonist.
But when the news came, she wasn't too surprised.
Now that I think about it, the reason why there was such a big fuss in the original work was probably because of the other party's fueling the flames.
"Don't look at her like that, she actually cares about you. I was able to save you in time because of her..."
Jiang Tang paused for a moment when he said this, and finally looked at the young man beside him:
"Do you want to meet her?"
Nan Xing's fingers suddenly tightened, and she seemed not to notice when her fingertips touched the hot bamboo stick.
The suddenly aggravated feeling of suffocation in his heart had taken away all his feelings, and he could no longer think about anything else.
His clear voice became hoarse: "Are you going to... drive me away?"
-
When public anger accumulates to a certain level, it is like a filled balloon. As long as you add a little more pressure, it will explode with a "bang", bringing huge lethality.
The gentry in Huai'an City originally thought that after so many days, the time was almost up to go to the Governor's Mansion to make peace.
As a result, they got the news at this moment - King Rong took the first step and handed over Zhezi's complaint against them!
The imperial court has sent officials to make an unannounced visit.
My dear, this news has frightened the local gentry.
As the saying goes, the people do not fight against the officials. This involves the court. As long as they do not want to rebel, they will definitely not be able to get over it no matter what happens next!
For a time, these people's hatred for King Rong was higher and deeper than that of the people outside!
Now they no longer care whether King Rong will compromise, they just want him to learn a lesson!
All the wealthy gentry became cruel and unanimously decided to make a big deal out of the matter!
Anyway, isn't it for the sake of "the good of the people" that you, the King of Rong, do it? Then let the people you protect now deal with you and see what you do!
But just when some people among the people who were besieging the people received instructions and were about to stir up trouble and let the people rush into the inn, the restaurant that had been closed and silent suddenly opened from the inside——
A group of sword-carrying guards in uniform uniforms filed out from inside in a menacing manner, lining up in two rows. The long bladed knives in their hands glowed with a cold light.
The originally excited people were frightened by the battle, and all fell silent for a while.
It wasn't until the handsome man with his hair tied up in a golden crown and wearing a mysterious robe with golden silk unicorns and dark patterns walked out of the inn that the people who were stunned by anger finally felt afraid.
What are they doing?
Do you want to besiege the emperor's relatives and plot a rebellion?
Xiao Yinhan just raised his eyes and glanced at the people in front of him, with an indifferent look as if he was just a mob in front of him.
But his aristocratic aura is enough to be intimidating.
"Where are the people?"
"Go back to your lord, we are already here."
Following the guard's reply, a few chaotic footsteps were heard not far away.
The besieged people were frightened and looked back almost with fear - were officers and soldiers sent to arrest them? Are they going to be taken to prison?
Then they realized they were wrong.
It is true that they are a group of people, but they are tall, short, fat, and thin, and they are all dressed in different styles.
But what is unified is that among these people there are no officers or soldiers wearing official uniforms, but more of them are elders wearing common clothes like them.
Then someone with sharp eyes recognized some of them: "Isn't that our village chief?"
"Is that Rizheng from the next village?"
"And that's the patriarch of Hejia Village..."
Soon the common people recognized those people, because they were not from the government, so their original fear dissipated a little, and more curiosity followed.
"The patriarch of Caomin Hejia Village, the village chief of Xiali Village, Kuqiao Village... I have met King Rong! King Rong is a thousand years old, a thousand years old!"
The village chiefs, village chiefs, and clan elders in those villages stepped forward one by one, and the surrounding farmers and people had already been driven aside to make way.
And as they knelt down to salute, the people's fear that had disappeared returned.
What does this mean? Do you want their village chief to arrest them all?
Just as I was thinking this, there was another rumbling sound in my ears, as if something huge and heavy was being dragged bit by bit.
The sound made people feel scared, and the faces of the people who were already scared became more and more ugly. Some people wanted to scream and run away, but as soon as they made a move, they were intimidated by the knife-wielding guards.
Everyone looked at each other, almost crying.
If this prince is so powerful and has so many guards around him, why didn't he bring him out early in the morning, so that when they thought they were about to succeed, he suddenly became so...
Cui Shuwang, who was standing behind, knew what Xiao Yinhan wanted to do. Looking at the earth-colored people, he sighed secretly in his heart.
I don’t know if someone’s method will work...
"Come, come,"
"what is that?"
Looking at the extremely tall wooden barrel, not only the common people, but also the village chiefs who were "invited" opened their eyes in surprise...
"Such a big poke looks like a bucket."
"Isn't it possible? Where can I find such a big bucket? It's almost a foot high, right?"
Amidst the whispers and whispers of the people, the troika carrying the huge wooden barrel slowly stopped in front of the inn.
At the same time, a group of men in black appeared out of nowhere, holding countless odd-shaped wood in their hands and began to build something on the long street.
The people were frightened, surprised and surprised, and couldn't help but stick their heads out to see what they were doing.
In about half an hour, a long temporary corridor made of wood appeared in front of the people.
People with sharp eyes have already recognized what it looks like: "Why does it look like a river?"
"Why are they stuffing sawdust around the corner?"
"What are those people holding in their hands? Clay figures..."
"I always feel that it's not that simple."
Cui Shuwang took a deep breath, turned his face towards the restaurant, and couldn't help but look at the man next to him: "Do you really think this method is effective?"
He originally thought that the man would not answer him, but Xiao Yinhan actually said: "How will you know if you don't try?"
Some people seem to use public opinion to "kill" him, so he will use this method to kill him back!
"Your Majesty, everything is ready!"
The guard's words made Xiao Yinhan look up, his eyes filled with solemnity, and he opened his thin lips and uttered two words: "Do it."
Following the man's order, a tall warrior stood in front of the barrel holding a giant axe.
I saw him raising the ax and dropping it, a huge gap was cut out of the barrel, and the raging "flood" inside surged out and rushed towards the "drainage channel" built on the ground...
