Chapter 684: The Arrow is on the String
Chapter 684: The arrow is on the string
Early in the morning, hundreds of people appeared on the street. At first glance, they were dressed in rags and their faces were a little purple. It was obvious that they were a group of refugees, with a population of about hundreds. There was a crazy news from these people, which scared everyone.
The news began to spread wildly, and many people certainly didn't believe it, but the three of them became tigers, and in the end everyone had to believe it.
There is no grain in the official warehouse. The grain from Xixia has been transported over and it has been swallowed up by people. Where is the grain?
Of course it would not be Prince Pingxi. King Pingxi was the governor of Xixia. This grain was originally sent by Xixia. In addition, the prince loved the people as much as his son, let the victims enter the city, and gave porridge and rice. He was like a Bodhisattva, and he would never be King Pingxi even if he was greedy for the ink.
Whenever the person who spoke this news mentioned King Pingxi, his face was filled with great respect. As a result, the listeners could not help but feel it and said together: "Yes, King Pingxi loves the people as much as his son, and is as good as the master of the sky who clears the clouds and sees the sun."
The person who was circulating the news continued: "But King Pingxi has no sharp eyes, and it is not a good-looking ear. I guess the food is greedy for the people he is in. After all, the prince cannot check the details and has to let the people below do many things. These people bully the prince and do not take our lives seriously. For their own selfish interests, they have lost all the food."
Those who heard it couldn't help but feel angry: "The prince's Bodhisattva's heart is blinded by the villain."
"We are not only blinded by villains, but also without food, we will all starve to death."
"this……"
The time for serving the porridge was almost here. The servants arrived at the porridge shed and had already cooked the porridge. Several victims rushed over and suddenly shouted with a bowl, "Why is this porridge getting thinner and thinner, just like water."
The people behind cannot see the scene in front, they all go to see it, but they can see it clearly? But since they say that, I guess this porridge has been replaced by clear water.
Song Aisi, who was beside the porridge shed, felt something was wrong, and walked over to the person who was on the head and said, "Are you blind? What's different from before? The rule of the King of Pingxi is that in order not to be hungry, chopsticks should be set up in the porridge, someone should come and bring a chopstick!"
The *** sneered: "You evil officials who deceive superiors and subordinates still want to argue! I will not eat this porridge." After that, he threw the bowl on the ground, and the porridge water overflowed into the snow.
"What a courageous person, come here!" Song Aishi was furious at this time. It would have been fine if he had really detained rice. Now he was finally honest and dedicated to the public, but he was wronged by the unfair people. Just like a habitual bandit who was used to being a thief, he finally helped an old man cross the road and was defiled as a good woman. In the past, only Aishi was wronged by others, but today he was beaten up by others. Song Aishi's anger can be imagined.
The officers behind them all wanted to pull out their waist knives and take the *** away.
Unexpectedly, the leader said: "The evil official killed someone!"
With this scream, the people behind him only saw many officers drawing their swords, but they couldn't tell what happened. The long queues were suddenly in chaos. At this time, many "disaster victims" rushed towards the porridge shed wildly. Someone kicked over the porridge shed, and there was even a clamor: "It's these dog-legged people who are bullying us, so we have no way to survive, and beat them to death!"
Tens of thousands of refugees were in a panic, and dozens of officers could not suppress them? The border troops who were usually patrolling suddenly disappeared, as if they had disappeared without a trace.
After all, Song Ai Si is an old official. He has seen many such scenes. Sometimes when he goes to the countryside to collect grain, people from each village may not be allowed to chase them out with farm tools. This kind of thing is common. However, in the past, he could always be scared and scared, which made people feel afraid. But today he wanted to show off his might, but who knew that what he wanted to say was immediately overwhelmed by the crowd. At this time, his ability to adapt was revealed. He applied oil to the soles of his feet, and with a few close servants, he suddenly mingled into the crowd, took off his clothes and ran away.
The other officers were not as lucky as this, and were immediately knocked down on the snow, followed by countless people punched and kicked, and groaned.
"If you beat the official, you will rebel!" Someone shouted in the crowd.
This sentence made all refugees startled. Some people didn't take action, and at this time they were so scared that they wanted to escape.
Who knows that someone said: "If you want to escape, where can you escape? This is Taiyuan. The border troops will come at any time and escape in all directions. You will definitely die!"
I was scared at this time when I wanted to leave. Instead, I felt that it was safer to have more crowded places. Otherwise, there would be officers and soldiers who would really come to suppress me. Then I would not even know how to die.
At this time, people said again: "Since that's the case, if everyone wants to survive, there is only one way..."
Everyone was so frightened that they had caught the last straw. Many people couldn't help but calm down, wanting to hear what was going on.
The man whispered loudly: "His Highness of the King of Pingxi loves the people as much as his son, and right and wrong are clear and determined. It is better for us to go to the imperial envoy to seek justice now, and ask the King of Pingxi to kill the stolen officials and officials to seek justice for us!"
"Go! Go to the imperial envoy!" Many people in the crowd started to clamor. First, someone walked towards the imperial envoy, and then many people followed. When the rest saw this, they followed the crowd. There were tens of thousands of people gathered. The storm was so sluggish that they could not see the end.
In addition, watching the fun along the way, it ended up like a snowball. There were more and more people, and it became more and more difficult to control. Everyone told the usual hateful things of corrupt officials. At this time, they were all filled with righteous indignation, and some even shouted: "Kill the stolen officials!"
Under such a scene, people's emotions have become excited, and many people yell: "Kill the stolen officials!"
The snowflakes in the sky were falling, the white snow and the crowded heads of people were facing each other. The entire Taiyuan City was filled with solemnity. Angry people walked forward together, and some evil people even destroyed the already messy streets. At this time, they became even more messy.

In the small villa, a figure appeared quietly, went straight into the side door, trotted to the study, bowed outside and said, "Master, Liu Fu is back."
"In!" The voice inside was very majestic.
Liu Fu gently opened the door a little bit, got in like a snake, and then tiptoed to close the door. The fragrance of books in the study room was filled with red candles, warm as spring.
Zheng Ke sat on a pear wood carved chair, put down a book, raised his eyes and said, "How is it?"
Liu Fu smiled and said, "The master is a master, and this move of 'clearing the king' is really amazing."
Zheng Kehe nodded and said with a faint smile: "First carry people, then sneak into our people, cause trouble, and surround the imperial envoy, haha..." He smiled and said with a slight smug tone: "As long as the lieutenant and the victims clash, Chen Ao will be dead."
Liu Fu bowed his body, as if listening to Zheng Ke carefully, and couldn't help asking: "What if the King Pingxi is not dead?"
Zheng Ke raised his face and sneered: "Of course there is still a back."
Liu Fu swallowed his saliva and wanted to ask what the hell was, but he knew his identity and did not dare to ask. He smiled embarrassedly: "The master is a master's master's trick. Even the King of Pingxi is not his opponent."
Zheng Ke said coldly: "When you are a person and do things, you must understand one thing... If you want to kill someone, don't do it yourself, otherwise you will not only be dirty, but also stabbing things. It is best to use a knife to kill someone."
Liu Fu looked at his shoes and said, "The victims are almost at the imperial envoy's headquarters. What are the instructions for the master?"
Zheng Ke stood up and said word by word: "I have a *** here. You send it to the Grand Governor's Office and hand it over to Mr. Wen. Tell him that he will take it out and see after an hour."
He opened a book, took out a note from the page, he rolled up the note, found a small tube and stuffed it in, and handed it to Liu Fu, and said slowly: "I told Mr. Wen to do it as the words in ***, and also told him that the arrow was on the string and he had to fire it. At this time, I can no longer be fickle. Today, I must meet with the Chen surnamed Chen, not him to die..." Zheng Ke gritted his teeth and said viciously: "It's me and Wen Xiang went to the underworld!"
Liu Fu couldn't help but jump when he heard this. He raised his eyes gently. Seeing that Zheng Ke quickly returned to his usual temperament, he looked calm and thought to himself that the Duke of the State was really happy and angry. He immediately said, "The villain is going to send him to the ***, so the Duke of the State will sit down."
After coming out of the courtyard, Liu Fu immediately led a horse. He naturally knew that the relationship today was too big. One was not good. I don’t know how many people wanted the head to land. He was a slave of the Zheng family. He was a confidant of the Zheng family for several generations, so there was no need to say his loyalty to the Zheng family.
After turning on the horse, Liu Fu immediately rushed to the Grand Governor's Office. The towering Grand Governor's Office was also in a panic at this time, with guards everywhere, and military generals coming and going from time to time, as if the enemy was about to attack the city.
Liu Fu informed him, and after a while, a military soldier asked him to go in and invited him to a clean room. Liu Fu sat here uneasily waiting.
After a stick of incense, a cough came from outside. Liu Fu couldn't help but stand up. At this time, someone crossed the threshold and said with majesty in his words: "Are you sent by the Duke of Zheng?"
Liu Fu hurriedly bowed and said, "The villain has seen Governor Wen."
Wen Xianzhi just nodded lightly and said, "What do you have to say to Duke Zheng?"
Liu Fu said: "The master said: The arrow is on the string and has to be fired. At this time, he can no longer be fussy. Today, he must meet with the Chen surname. Either he dies or the master and... go to the underworld together with the Governor Wen!" He remembered this sentence clearly.
Wen Xianzhi smiled and said, "To this point, this sentence should be a reminder to me. Why did I remind me of me? Can the Duke trust Wen so much?"
