Chapter 897: Two things, the officials and the people face each other
"Being able to exchange my life as a sophomore in high school for the lives of so many fellow villagers, it's all worth it.
Don't worry, sir, I and the other brothers will never cause trouble to the Imperial Envoy!"
"However, I have something to do! My younger brother Gao Liu'er didn't know about our robbery of the official warehouse. I would like to ask you to tell the imperial envoy a few words and spare his life! In addition, my mother at home also needs to be taken care of...
…”
"This, I, Huang Wenshan, promise you! Nothing will happen to your little brother, and I will leave some money for your mother..."
Senior high school student He knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Huang Wenshan several times!
"Sir, what is the other thing?"
Huang Wenshan dragged Gao Erhe up, with a hint of murderous intent in his eyes, "I got a secret message that there are local officials' cronies hiding among you refugees! Those local officials know that if the Imperial Envoy finds out about your grievances, the Imperial Envoy will
They will definitely be punished severely! So, they are ready to jump over the wall! When you negotiate with the Imperial Envoy, someone will incite the people to attack the Imperial Envoy..."
"As long as the imperial envoy is dead, those local officials can blame you! At that time, the imperial court will send out a large army to wipe out all of you, and no one will know what they did!"
"What!"
The sophomore and senior high school students were shocked, and then roared, "Damn it, they actually want to cover up this matter with tens of thousands of lives! Sir, do you know who the hidden person is?"
I will capture him immediately and kill him, and I will never let anything happen to the Imperial Envoy..."
Huang Wenshan shook his head, "I sent a few brothers to check secretly, but the time was too short and the identities of these people have not been found.
However, one thing is certain, when you negotiate with the Imperial Envoy, there will be someone who will find a reason to bring the people forward, and they will also speak to incite the people's emotions! Therefore, I need to let your trusted people pay attention to this matter
The mastermind behind the matter must not be allowed to escape!"
"Then what should I do, the Imperial Envoy?"
Senior High School student He asked worriedly.
"snort!"
Huang Wenshan sneered, "I have a thousand brothers here who will be ready at any time, and there are hundreds of our brothers by your side! There are more than a thousand of us here, not to mention you refugees, even if it is 10,000 regular Tibetan troops,
We can also fight our way out!"
Shen Tang did not believe that Fan Anhe would sit still and wait for death. Therefore, before coming to Zhongliang Mountain, Shen Tang speculated on what might happen, including the countermeasures if someone jumped over the wall! Therefore, when Shen Tang and his party had just left the county, they
It was Chang Shun who had arranged for someone to come first and report the news to Huang Wenshan.
As for the fact that there are people from the government hidden among the refugees, it is also not difficult to speculate!
Even if they really wanted to attack him, no matter who it was, Fan Anhe would never be aboveboard.
After all, no one can bear the consequences of such a thing.
Therefore, the only chance is to blame the problem on the refugees.
And if you want to incite these refugees, of course you need to deploy people!
There are tens of thousands of refugees here, and it’s really easy to sneak some of them in!
Therefore, if Fan An and these people either do not take action, as long as they want to take action against Shen Tang, the best way is to follow this guess.
Chang Shun shouted at the foot of the mountain, and finally, several men appeared from behind the boulders.
"Let the officers and soldiers retreat, and we will send someone to talk to the imperial envoy!"
"presumptuous!"
Chen Xinbo shouted angrily, "How dare you rebels do this?
If you anger this general, I will report to the imperial court to mobilize an army to strangle you!"
"General Chen..." Shen Tang opened his mouth and stopped Chen Xinbo's words. Then, he took a few steps forward and shouted loudly towards the mountain, "I am the imperial envoy Shen Tang. I am here to inspect the water damage on the order of the Holy One." !I can ask the officers and soldiers to retreat, but they are also worried about my safety, so there are hundreds of personal guards who will accompany me!"
"If you agree, I will give the order immediately!"
"No adults!"
Chen Xinbo and Fan Anhe rushed forward to try their best to dissuade him!
"No problem!"
Shen Tang waved his hand, "With these personal guards, it is enough! Besides, if there is an accident, it will only take a few hundred steps at most. General Chen will be here in an instant!"
There may have been some discussion on the top of the mountain, and then the man from before shouted again, "Since it is the imperial envoy, we can trust it.
Let the officers and soldiers step back five hundred steps, and the Imperial Envoy's personal guards can come together."
Upon hearing this, Shen Tang immediately ordered, "General Chen, lead your troops to retreat five hundred steps!"
"grown ups!"
Chen Xinbo gritted his teeth and stamped his feet, but in the end he couldn't resist Shen Tang. "Back off, take five hundred steps back. But everyone, please cheer up. If those rebels dare to go back on their word, I'll kill them out as soon as possible!"
"Sir Shen, I am the magistrate of Xingyuan Prefecture and I must stay by your side! No matter what your Excellency says, I will not retreat! Besides, I can agree to some conditions on the spot."
Shen Tang smiled thoughtfully, "Okay, then thank you for your hard work, Mr. Fan!"
While talking, Chen Xinbo had already led his troops to withdraw five hundred steps.
Then, I saw a dense crowd of people appearing in the mountain forest, about four to five hundred people.
In the dense forest behind them, there were more refugees holding sticks and stones, looking down with some fear, but they did not come forward.
The first five or six people walked out of the forest under the protection of hundreds of people. The person in the lead took a few steps, bowed to Shen Tang and said, "Grandma, the second grade of the common people, pays homage to the imperial envoy!"
Shen Tang led a group of personal guards, and Gao Erhe led hundreds of refugee guards as they gradually approached.
Finally, the two of them faced each other, but their guard was ten steps behind!
"Can you be the master of these people?"
Shen Tang asked with a smile.
"In the beginning, the official warehouse was robbed by the grassroots, and it was the grassroots who led a group of villagers to settle in Zhongliang Mountain! With the trust of the villagers, the grassroots can make the decision."
"Okay, then I will talk to you! Now, you can put forward your conditions!"
Gao Erhe nodded, "Sir, although these tens of thousands of villagers are insurgents, they are just out of necessity. If they are not hungry and unable to survive, who is willing to take risks?
Therefore, please forgive the guilt of these villagers! If you want to punish me, just chop off the heads of my sophomore and senior high school students. The other villagers are not guilty!"
After hearing this, Shen Tang said without any hesitation, "I accept it!"
"Although you have done this before, the government is not without its mistakes! As long as you go down the mountain and return home, this imperial envoy will absolve these people of their guilt and guarantee that no one will hold them accountable!"
