"Who are you? How dare you gather people to make trouble here." Zhou Xingyun walked up to the middle-aged man in a arrogant manner, and looked at him with his head held high.
"I am the matchmaking representative of Qili Street in Lingdu City. My surname is Wu Mingshen! I am not here to cause trouble today, but to beg for food for the residents of Qili Street!"
"I am Wang Feifei, the representative elected by the villagers of Dongliu Lake in Lingdu City. I am also here to buy some food for the people of Dongliu Lake." The woman with heavy makeup looked at Zhou Xingyun fiercely and said, "We are not here to make trouble unreasonably, we are serious.
I can’t survive anymore, so I have to come here to get some food.”
"I am a businessman from Luo Ming Street in Lingdu City, Gou Bin. I am also a representative elected by the people of Luo Ming Street. I just want to buy some food from the granary to help the hungry neighbors on Luo Ming Street. As long as you are willing to open a warehouse and sell grain
, Money is not a problem, I have plenty of money!”
"Okay! I have heard your appeal. I will discuss with Her Highness the Princess now and promise to open a warehouse to provide food the day after tomorrow!" Zhou Xingyun agreed to the middle-aged man without saying anything. His efficient reply immediately made the leader of the trouble
The three of them looked confused.
Is this how things happened? No matter how you think about it, there is definitely some fraud in it.
"What's wrong? I've already promised you, why are you all gathering in the warehouse?" Zhou Xingyun asked impatiently.
"We don't know who you are, so why should we believe what you say!"
"I am the imperial envoy appointed by Princess Yongming!" Zhou Xingyun took out a copy of Han Qiumiao's handwriting from his arms: "It is a good read for those who are literate! Mr. Zhou, the temporary governor of Lingdu City! You know who I am. I am going to you
Guaranteed, the warehouse will be opened to put grain in the afternoon the day after tomorrow!”
"There is no proof for what you say! You must give us a written document!" Gou Bin suddenly discovered that Zhou Xingyun had obviously ulterior motives for agreeing to them so casually.
"It's just a written document, no problem, I'll just sign it." Zhou Xingyun agreed decisively. Anyway, there's no harm in delaying it for two days. We'll figure it out later.
"You...we can't trust you! We want the emperor to be our guarantee!" Wu Shen had a headache. Zhou Xingyun tried to retreat in order to advance, but he insisted on delaying it for two days, but they were a little helpless.
"Hey, are you unscrupulous people bothered? I have already agreed to open warehouses to release grain, and I readily agreed to provide written evidence as evidence, but you want the emperor to be your guarantee? Has your brain been eaten by a pig?" Zhou Xingyun said no.
Patiently scolding the crowd.
Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures. Now most of the granaries in Lingdu City have been burned down, and food is in short supply. If Zhou Xingyun and others want to survive the immediate crisis, they must get the residents of Lingdu City to cooperate.
However, the residents of Lingdu City did not trust the royal family at all. Now they were not asked to cooperate. As long as they did not make trouble or cause trouble, Han Qiumiao was satisfied.
Today, the people in Lingdu City came to them to beg for food. Han Qiumiao could only break the jars and ask Zhou Xingyun to be a bad person.
Break it down and then build it up. Anyway, the people in Lingdu City have no good impression of the royal family. Why should Zhou Xingyun be hot-tempered and cold-hearted? Now he can just send the troublemakers away in a domineering manner. There is no need to compete with a group of common people who are being taken advantage of.
Lu Yao knew that Ma Li had been seeing people for a long time. When they were really starving to death, Han Qiumiao would lend a helping hand to let the people of Lingdu City see who the really good people were. That was the key point.
"Why can't we open the warehouse to put food in today! We are all starving to death! How can we survive these two days!" Gou Bin replied with a straight face. Wang Feifei immediately followed suit and supported him: "Yes! The hungry people
It’s not you! We want to see the emperor!”
"Who told you that the emperor is in Lingdu City? I want to see the emperor and go to the capital! I am
I don’t have time to accompany you fools and fool around.” Zhou Xingyun didn’t even bother to pay attention to the people in front of him. The emperor was in Lingdu City, and apart from their own people, only Qingtian Xiong and his group knew about it.
Nowadays, thousands of people from Lingdu City came to beg for food, and all of them clamored to see the emperor, saying that they had nothing to do with Qingtian Xiong, and no one would believe it.
"Since the Emperor is not here, we want to see Princess Yongming! As long as Princess Yongming promises us that the warehouse will be opened to release grain in two days, we will stop causing trouble!" Wu Shen shouted without hesitation.
"What is the identity of Your Highness the Princess, and what are the identities of you." Zhou Xingyun looked unhappy: "Princess Yongming has golden branches and jade leaves, how can it be that the unscrupulous people will see her just as she says!"
"The dog officials are in power! The law of heaven cannot be tolerated! The hearts of the people are ruined! The people are starving to death!" Gou Bin pointed at Zhou Xingyun angrily: "If you don't give us an explanation today, we will rather die than surrender and will never give in!"
"What a troublemaker! Since you regard us as troublemakers! Then why should we be polite to you? Folks, don't you think so?"
"Yes! The dog officials are in power! The officials are forcing the people to rebel! The people are starving to death! God cannot tolerate it!"
"Today I'm going to teach you a lesson for a bully like a slave!" Wu Shen glared angrily, wanting to encourage the people kneeling on the ground to riot.
However, just when Wu Shen was about to lead the charge and capture Zhou Xingyun in front of him, Zhou Xingyun unexpectedly struck the stone lion at the door of the granary with a backhand palm.
Boom!
Like a thunderstorm that collapsed a mountain, the one-meter-tall stone lion statue was instantly reduced to ashes.
Wu Shen, who was about to take action, couldn't help but trembled with fright, and was stunned by Zhou Xingyun's deep internal strength.
Obviously, Wu Shen never expected that the young man in front of him who was twenty years old would actually be a top master with profound internal skills.
"Brother, I advise you not to be impulsive. I am in a good mood today, otherwise this stone statue would not be broken." Zhou Xingyun patted the dust on his hands and looked around at the thousands of panicked people in Lingdu City.
Most of the people in Lingdu City are civilians who don't know martial arts. They respect and fear Zhou Xingyun's ability to break stones with one palm.
The woman wearing heavy makeup witnessed the scene and immediately did not dare to interrupt.
"Don't think that you can scare us away by doing this!" Gou Bin stepped forward fearlessly: "We, the people of Lingdu City, are by no means greedy for life and afraid of death! Starving to death is also death! Fighting to death is also death! Anyway, no matter what, we are afraid of death.
If you are going to die, then there is nothing to fear!"
"Well said! For the sake of the folks and elders in Lingdu City, we must get food!" Wu Shen shouted confidently and arrogantly.
However, Wu Shen already knew that he was no match for Zhou Xingyun, so there was no need to take action...
Wu Shen and Gou Bin dared to confront Zhou Xingyun because there was actually a key factor. They both knew that the people kneeling on the ground would never betray them and retreat alone.
Why? Because today is the first time to go to the warehouse to ask for food, and there is no room for any mistakes. Wu Shen and others brought more than 3,000 people from Lingdu City who made trouble and made noise. Most of them were real residents who were forced to have no other way out.
.
If these people cannot get food, they will die, so naturally they will not back down easily...
As long as the first begging for food can be successful and other people in Lingdu City can see the results, they will be able to respond to the request and attract more people to cooperate.
"Wu Shen, the representative of Qili Street in Lingdu City, right? For the sake of the folks in Lingdu City, you must get food.
?How shameless you can say it."
"Why can't you say it! I'm telling the truth! Look at the people kneeling here, can you bear to see them starve to death!" Wu Shen asked Zhou Xingyun plausibly.
"Let me tell you straight, I highly doubt your sincerity in asking for food, especially you three guys who claim to be the representatives of the people of Lingdu City." Zhou Xingyun looked at Wu Shen, Gou Bin, and Wang Feifei suspiciously.
"What's wrong with us! How insincere are we?"
"As representatives of the people, why don't you show some sincerity and kneel down to show me? You are the representatives of the people. If the people's representatives don't kneel down to beg for food, it means that the people don't need to beg for food! In this case, I
Why should I open a warehouse for you to store grain?" Zhou Xingyun asked with an arrogant smile. Even Guo Heng and others standing next to him couldn't bear to look at his arrogant expression, and wanted to kick Zhou Xingyun's butt behind his back.
"Kneel down, just kneel down!" Although the three Gou Bin people were very angry, they had nothing to do with Zhou Xingyun. They could only kneel down obediently like the people of Lingdu City.
The woman with heavy make-up was a little reluctant at first, but Gou Bin and Wu Shen both pulled her sleeves, indicating that the overall situation was the most important thing to her, and finally the three of them knelt down neatly in front of Zhou Xingyun.
"Sincerity, what I need is sincerity. As long as you have enough sincerity, I will open the warehouse and put food in today. I won't lie to you! I will do what I say!" Zhou Xingyun looked at the three people in front of him seriously: "Kowtow a few times and see,
It's going to make a banging sound."
"Kowtow, just kowtow! As long as you remember what you said! The warehouse is open to release grain today, so it doesn't matter if you kowtow a few times!" Wu Shen lowered his head helplessly and kowtowed ten times to Zhou Xingyun.
"Right, isn't this great? Look at the three of you dressed up, you don't look like starving civilians at all. This officer is really in trouble. It's different now, at least you look like begging for food." Zhou Xingyun
Nodding with satisfaction, the girls hiding in the dark looked at the bully's nonsense and deceived the three representatives into kneeling down and kowtowed. They couldn't help but sigh in laughter. It's true that evil people have their own way of being punished.
"Now it's Mr. Zhou's turn to fulfill his promise!" Gou Bin kowtowed and immediately asked Zhou Xingyun to fulfill his promise and open the warehouse to release grain.
"Okay, for the sake of the three of you, I will mercifully agree to your request. However, opening the warehouse to store grain requires the decree of Her Highness the Princess. I will go to see the Princess now and I will be back in an hour. You guys
The three of you, don't stop... Ahem, you three, don't stop, continue to kowtow here, as long as you show your sincerity and sincerity, the gold and stone will be opened. I will get the princess's handwriting back in an hour, which is to open the position.
When I get food. If when I come back, the guards tell me that you are lazy and kowtow not loud enough, then there will be no need to talk about opening the warehouse to put food in."
"You're going too far!" The woman with heavy makeup was so angry that she wanted to stand up immediately and give Zhou Xingyun a slap in the face. She was the biggest in the world at Hua Fang. All the girls had to look at her face to become a prostitute. She had never been wronged like this before.
"So what if you go too far to bully others? The food is in my hands, and the opportunity is also given to you. If you like to ask for it, get away if you don't." Although Zhou Xingyun was afraid of the people in Lingdu City rioting, the people in Lingdu City were also afraid of a head-on confrontation with the royal army.
Now Zhou Xingyun is targeting the people with precise strikes and treating the three cancers that claim to represent the people of Lingdu City. Ordinary people will not stand up for them. Anyway, Zhou Xingyun has promised to open a warehouse to release grain. It depends on whether the three representatives are willing to cooperate.
