"Don't go, lest I accidentally hurt you. Just watch! These people won't get any good. Let's wait here. If things get serious, the government will definitely come forward."
"Waiting again! If we wait any longer, we will starve to death!" A man felt helpless and touched his belly that was shriveled with hunger.
He stood up helplessly, grabbed a handful of wild vegetables in the basket beside him, and prepared to light a fire to cook the wild vegetables.
"Dad! I don't want to eat wild vegetables anymore. There are wild vegetables every day. When can we have porridge?"
A seven or eight-year-old child was tugging at the man's clothes, looking at the man with a sallow and thin face full of hope.
The man's nose felt sore and he was speechless for a long time while stroking the child's dry and sparse hair.
Gu Chengyu opened the curtain of the carriage and found that the rain was much heavier than before, and it was now a steady drizzle.
"Have we already arrived at Hangtian Mansion?" He looked at the city gate in the distance, and then at the crowd of figures outside the city gate, and couldn't help but feel a little sinking in his heart.
It seemed that the disaster was far more serious than I imagined, as so many victims had already gathered outside the city.
"Sir! The city gate of Hangtian Mansion is ahead." Ding Shiliu sat on the shaft of the carriage. He cracked his whip and the horse walked faster.
Gu Chengyu's carriage was followed by two more, which were the D-generation guards summoned by Gu Chengyu.
This time when we came to Hangtian Mansion, it was not enough for him and Ming Mo alone. There were many victims, and we could not control such a large scene with less manpower.
"You said I stole your wallet, what evidence do you have? Has anyone seen me stealing your wallet?"
A tall man looked angrily at another short, fat old man in silk and satin. By one glance, others could tell that the man in silk and satin was an old man from a wealthy family.
That plump body and the square gold rings on my fingers all show that I have money, I have a lot of money!
"At that time, you squeezed towards me, who were you?" The old man called the guards of the house to come forward and surrounded the man.
"Are you looking down on me because I am a disaster victim? You still accuse me of stealing your wallet? Although I am poor, I will never do such sneaky things."
The man was pulled by the victims beside him and could not move. But his face was full of anger, and he looked at the old man with a look that made him want to eat him alive.
"Don't think you can get away with just saying that. Who are you? Look at you mud-legged people, a bunch of homeless and poor people, and you still want to enter the city? It's simply fantastic. I have three people in my pocket.
Either you stole the one hundred taels of silver, or you stole it."
The fat old man looked at the ragged victims in front of him with his eyes as big as mung beans. His short and fat fingers pointed at the victims who were holding the man. His disdainful look made many victims tighten their grip.
fist.
The government officials guarding the city really couldn't leave. Seeing that more and more people were gathering here, they had no choice but to send one person over.
The officer just stepped forward and scolded, "What's going on? Why are you all gathering together? Do you want to cause trouble?"
"Are you still bloody? Why are you trying to stop me? I'm going to beat him today."
The fat old man in front of him really needed a beating, and the man couldn't bear it anymore. Seeing that the government servant was about to come over, he was the one who couldn't apologize.
His heart skipped a beat, and he stepped forward and punched that fat face.
"Ouch!" The fat old man howled miserably, feeling a warmth slowly flowing out from under his nose.
"Quick! Beat me quickly! Beat me to death!" He shouted angrily and inarticulately.
In just a few breaths, the place became extremely chaotic, and many victims surrounded the master and his guards and started fighting.
Even though this gentleman has many guards and all of them are very skilled, the number of victims is too many.
Gradually, only the screams of the master and the guards could be heard around.
"The victims are going to take advantage of the chaos and enter the city! They want to drive out all the people in Hangtian Mansion so that they can occupy Hangtian Mansion. They cannot be allowed to enter the city, otherwise they will burn, kill, loot and commit all kinds of evil!"
Someone shouted, and then the people who were about to enter the city looked at the victims angrily.
Originally they were afraid of the overwhelming number of disaster victims, but now people are bullying them.
"They want to enter the city, rob us of rice and grain, and also want to occupy our houses. Stop them quickly and don't let them enter the city."
The riot that was about to break out was ignited by this sound. Then the people of Hangtian Mansion who were watching all rose up, picked up the guys around them, and rushed towards the fight.
The yamen officer who was about to walk over was dumbfounded. He turned around and ran away in fright, shouting as he ran, "The fight is about to start! There's going to be a riot!"
"Hurry! Go and report to your lord, the victims are rioting!" a government official shouted in horror.
"Sir! Hurry up."
Wang Chu, the yamen servant, walked in front and urged anxiously. When he came just now, the victims had already started fighting with the master, and he didn't know what happened now.
Several government officials rushed forward with swords drawn, and struck the three most aggressive and aggressive people with the backs of their swords.
Seeing the menacing attack of the government officials, the victims had already taken action. The victims who had not planned to participate at first could no longer stand it.
For the past few days, I have been sleeping in the open air and watching the local people going in and out of the city leading a peaceful and contented life. But they have neither food nor water. How can I not feel uncomfortable?
Maybe it was to vent their dissatisfaction, or maybe the attitude of the gentleman and the government just now angered the victims, and some of the victims began to ignore it.
Anyway, they will starve to death if they don't have anything to eat. They already have no home, and the court doesn't care about them. It's better to do the opposite, since they will die sooner or later anyway.
When Yang Chao thought this, many victims also joined the battle with red eyes.
When Yang Chaoying arrived, he and Wang Chu were both shocked. They saw a scuffle going on outside the city, and it was no longer clear who were the common people and who were the victims.
The screams were endless, the children's heart-wrenching cries, and the women's screams were intertwined together, making it a mess.
Yang Chaoying swallowed his saliva, and shouted to Wang Chu, who was stunned at the side: "Quick! Go get the bow and arrow."
When Wang Chu heard this, he immediately reacted and hurriedly shook his legs and ran out.
Min Feng and officials from the Ministry of Industry arrived shortly after. They were shocked when they saw what they saw. When Min Feng saw this, he even took a few steps back.
You can't step forward at this time. These victims have lost their minds. If they accidentally hurt him, wouldn't he have suffered an unreasonable disaster?
Yang Chaoying stepped out of the city gate and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Fellow folks, please stop! If you have something to say, please speak it carefully and don't hurt anyone!"
"Look! The dog officer is out. He won't let us enter the city. He wants to starve us to death. I just heard him asking people to get bows and arrows. He must be trying to kill us. What are we waiting for? Are we still waiting?
He came to kill us? Catch him quickly." I want to chat with more like-minded people about "The Farmer's Road to Getting Rich and the Imperial Examination", follow "Youdu Literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
