Return of the Swallow

Qin Yining's calmness infected everyone around him, and Pang Xiao was still a little irritable, but now she calmed down.

Pang Xiao came to the door and stood still. Qin Yining followed closely. Jinghuwei and Yinmian Detective guarded Pang Xiao and Qin Yining respectively.

The torches in the hands of the people in front of Fuyamen were shining as bright as daylight, which also allowed Qin Yining to see the anger on everyone's faces more clearly.

There were more than a thousand of these people visually, and all of them had weapons in their hands, and they were only a few steps away from them. If these people swarmed up, Qin Yining really didn't think the hundreds of people brought by Pang Xiao could stop them.

In fact, Qin Yining's heart was also a little flustered.When encountering danger, she can't feel completely unaware, especially when so many people are staring at her with angry eyes, wishing to cramp her thin skin, Qin Yining, who is very sensitive to danger and hostility, at this time It's like being scratched by someone.

But reason has the upper hand. At this moment, neither she nor Pang Xiao can panic.If they panic or get scared, what should they do?Do they say advance or retreat?If these people retire, the consequences will be unimaginable. Even if they are full of martial arts, they will be trampled into meat sauce in such a crowd.

The people gathered in front of the Yamen and shouted for a while.At this meeting, people came out, and they stopped talking.

Someone in the crowd said loudly: "It is Prince Zhongshun who has come out!"

It was confirmed that the Prince of Faithfulness, and the people rushed in anger.

Pang Xiao didn't hear it really, and raised his hand to press, with a friendly smile on his face, and said kindly: "Dear folks, if you gather today to see this king, you must have encountered something embarrassing. Don't worry, if you have any problems, this king will also come out now, let the big guys talk. As long as the requirements are reasonable and do not violate the national law, this king will help you solve them!"

The best way to face angry people is to comfort them.For one thing, as a military commander, Pang Xiao is also a well-known war lord, his butcher knife can only be directed at the enemy, against the invaders of the Great Zhou, but not at his own people.Second, there is a huge gap in the number of people at the moment. Although Pang Xiao is confident that he can protect Qin Yining and fight a bloody path, once the people are really killed, the consequences will be almost devastating for them.

If innocent people are really killed and the matter spreads, it will not only give Li Qitian a reason to punish him, but will also lose all the image and reputation he and Qin Yining have worked so hard to manage, and the name of heroism will become infamy.

He and Qin Yining are now desperate and cannot tolerate half-step back and mistakes.

So now, Pang Xiao puts down as much as possible to let himself be closer to the people, just thinking that he can solve the current situation safely.

When the people saw that Prince Zhongshun was so gentle and easy to talk, everyone couldn't help being stunned for a moment.

Then someone boldly said loudly: "We will not repair the imperial tomb! You will write us a document!"

"Yes!" One person opened his mouth, and the others immediately agreed, "You set up a document for us! As long as you write it down to repair the imperial tomb in the future, you will not be sent from our Danfu county, and we will leave immediately!"

Hearing this, Pang Xiao's expression gradually sank.

"Everyone is for the people's husband?"

"Yes! We just don't repair the imperial tomb!"

Pang Xiao said solemnly: "Building the imperial mausoleum is a sacred will. Don't think that this king is a supervising official, but this king only has the power to supervise, and it is not the king alone that can decide. Besides, this king is here. The dossier saw that when the imperial mausoleum was built, the local husbands were good to eat and live, and they could still eat meat every few days, which was even better than living at home. Why did you wait so resist? Besides, Danfu County recruited the local husbands to four thousand. This is the decree of the Holy Spirit, the decree of Jinkouyuyan. Nowadays, Danfu County gathers many people to violate the decree. Are you trying to rebel?"

"Bah! Fuck your mother's ass!" someone in the crowd yelled and cursed, "What is good to eat and live in, and what to eat for meat! Are you fooling us into fools who don't know anything!"

"That is, the last time the imperial tomb was built, three thousand people were recruited, and less than four hundred people returned alive in the end!"

"Even if we ordinary people are a little bit poor, they are raised by their parents and mothers. Isn't it true that those folk husbands have no relatives, not humans, but beasts that can be harmed by the court at will!"

...

After that, all the people present were excited.The shouts of the people in front of the Yamen screamed.

When Pang Xiao saw it, he knew that the scene before him was inciting emotion among the people.But what they said was that three thousand civilians were requisitioned, but in the end only four hundred people returned alive. This is indeed true!And these records, there is no record he has seen!

From the perspective of the people, Pang Xiao felt distressed for them.Danfu County has a large population and a lot of fields. It can recruit three thousand people, and every family must have a strong man to go out.In the end, only four hundred people came back alive. Afraid the county is not a family member?

Such a scene is even more chilling than a plague, because the plague is beyond human control, but the imperial court caused the death of a civilian husband!

But from her own perspective, Pang Xiao was indeed wronged.Prior to this, he had no idea what was going on, and he didn't even think that such a thing would happen when the imperial tomb was built.It seems that the people behind incited the people's emotions were trying to kill him!

When Pang Xiao's heart turned back and forth, someone in the crowd cried loudly.

"Don't believe in the nonsense of the imperial court! I'm the old or returned civic husband, repairing the imperial mausoleum is simply not a job for humans! Officials deprive us of our food, and every meal is just a porridge of people's shadows. , I haven’t had a meal for more than ten days. If I sleep less than two hours a day, I’ll be blindfolded and called to work. Those who refuse to go, move a little slower, and come up with a whip. If you don’t wear warm clothes, you don’t have enough sleep, where is it not dangerous when you start work? It’s better to dig grass roots at home to eat in time of the famine year than to repair the imperial tomb!"

When this person talked about the situation at that time, the rest of them were in agreement.

The curse that had been slightly weakened once again exploded like water poured into hot oil.Not only was the court scolded, Pang Xiao, the prince who was responsible for repairing the imperial tomb, and even Pang Xiao’s family members, were greeted by the people with the most rude swear words to the ancestors of the eighteenth generation, especially the female elders, which was simply unbearable. Into the ear.

The opponent was so crowded and powerful that Pang Xiao and Qin Yining could not quarrel with them alone.

Pang Xiao shouted loudly: "Quiet! All quiet! Are everyone here to solve the problem or to rebel? If you continue to yell, you will eventually become unreasonable even if it makes sense! All quiet!"

Many people who were close to him heard what Pang Xiao said made sense, and became quiet.After all, no one wanted to be labeled as rebellious, and was finally suppressed by the court.

Most people come to take risks for the benefit and safety of their families, and they are forced to come.

But in the crowd, there are those who instigate the atmosphere, deliberately misinterpreting Pang Xiao's words.

"Bah! Stooges! You refuse to do things for us, and want to threaten us? We are so many people, are you afraid that you will not succeed! This thing is to stabbed in front of the Lord, and that is also reasonable for us! You happily stand for us According to the written record, we promise that we will not requisition civil servants from Danfu County in the future, and we will immediately disperse! If not, we will simply slaughter you corrupt officials today!"

"Yes! Kill the corrupt officials! Live a stable life in the future!"

"Our entire county seat is dispatched. How can the court take care of us? Isn't there a saying that doesn't blame the public!"

...

Most people have a herd mentality. Before such major events, someone advocated and immediately responded.At this time, if someone in the crowd says "The prince is innocent", they will immediately think that this webpage is also the supervising official who has just taken office, and that he did not repair the former imperial tomb.

However, the people of Pang Xiao had been prepared for a long time, and it was bound to arouse the anger of the people.

The anger of the people was instigated, and with their large number of people, the entire county seat was dispatched. They did not believe that the court could behead the entire county seat!

Thinking of this, the people couldn't take care of it anymore. Someone who was a little bit stunned, raised the sickle and rushed forward, "Kill the dog officer!"

The royal guards were about to unsheath their weapons, and they blocked in front of the Yamen.

Seeing the imperial court drew their swords, the sword pointed at these people coldly, and the people were panicked and angry.

The people rushing forward were knocked to the ground by a scabbard.

Tang Xiu strode to the outside and drew a line on the ground.As a Jinghuwei, who has truly killed and seen blood on the battlefield, the aura of the whole body cannot be underestimated when he is serious.

"Listen clearly! The prince did not intend to hurt the innocent. Ruoer waited for the following crimes and besieged the government office, all on the basis of treason! Those who cross the line, die!"

Tang Xiu used the loudest voice and the strongest aura. People who were closer were even numbed by the shock of their eardrums.

Many people calmed down, with fear in their hearts.

Those who can take the lead will not give up.

Immediately a few men rushed up with weapons such as pickaxes, shovels, and door bolts.

"I don't believe it! You dare to really kill Lao Tzu!"

"There are so many of us, if you have the ability, you cut it all!"

These people didn't care about the weapons in the guards of the palace, and directly rounded up the guys and rushed into the palace.

Tang Xiu looked at Pang Xiao in embarrassment.

Pang Xiaobi made a gesture, shook his head, and instructed everyone not to hurt the lives of the people.

Tang Xiu was helpless, and could only go forward and knock out the few people one by one.

These guys were all born tall and strong, who knew they would get down without two hits.

The people nearby all realized how powerful the palace guards were, and they were all timidly willing to retreat.

But behind the crowd, someone deliberately hugged and shouted: "Killed! Prince Zhongshun killed the people in public! He dared to kill the juniors in our family, let's rush forward and kill them!"
