Chapter 686: Shocking changes
For a moment, it was silent again, and many people were awake at this time. The question asked by King Pingxi was really correct. He came to make trouble without even knowing it. What was he doing when he was tense?
Chen Ao continued, "Since you can't tell me, then I will investigate it yourself and find it out. Of course, I will give you an explanation. Two months have passed. The imperial envoy came to provide disaster relief. I will never sit idly by and watch you starve and freeze. There are so many things to do now, and now it will be dispersed immediately. If anyone wanders outside the imperial envoy's headquarters, he will be punished with evil intentions!"
After hearing Chen Ao's words, the victims' anger disappeared at this time, and many of them were about to leave.
Chen Ao also breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, from the beginning, he expected that Zheng Ke's method was this. It was not so easy to punish him. Apart from inciting the victims, there was no way. Since Chen Ao had guessed the other party's method, he was determined to control the time when Zheng Ke and others took action. If the incident happened in a hurry and could not respond, even if he knew the other party's intentions, it would be difficult to control the situation.
So he thought of a solution, saying that it was Xixia's grain. Of course, he also knew that Zheng Ke would definitely guess that Xixia's grain had not been shipped, and all this was hidden. But he also guessed that with Zheng Ke's IQ, he would definitely think that it must be a "conspiracy" to make this move at this time. Zheng Ke must have acted, and the time for the action was not at the third update last night, but early this morning.
So Chen Ao threw out a bait, which made Zheng Ke mistakenly think that the Guan Cang had no food. Chen Ao wanted to lure him to burn food that night and finally blame others. So he let Zheng Ke take the trick and acted in a hurry early this morning. Because Zheng Ke "knows" that in order to make Zheng Ke "scam", Chen Ao would definitely ambush the people in Guan Cang at the third night last night, and these people were waiting in the heavy snow all night, and the early morning was the most vulnerable time.
Chen Ao believed that Zheng Ke would not miss this opportunity, the lieutenant was "exhausted".
However, it is obvious that the lieutenants are still energetic. The lieutenants who are in the imperial envoy are sleeping, eating well, and preparing in advance. The refugees are rushing in to cause chaos.
Next, as long as Chen Ao can stand up in time and stabilize the situation, this series of conspiracies will be completely gone without a trace.
Seeing that many victims were about to disperse, although some of the "disaster victims" mixed in the crowd were still unwilling to accept it and were still clamoring, but the situation was over at this time. What the victims wanted was nothing but food and clothing. Who would have the interest to come here to make the King of Pingxi embarrassed?
Chen Ao got off the ladder and couldn't help but smile and said to Tong Hu: "It's so dangerous, but fortunately I was prepared."
Tong Hu couldn't help but stretch his eyebrows and smiled, "Your Highness, these victims may not be encouraged by others. Should I check it?"
Chen Ao shook his head and said lightly: "No need to check it. It doesn't matter who it is. Since they have no choice, it should be the king who takes action."
Everything was planned, which made Chen Ao a little confident. The so-called Zheng Ke was actually just like this. Not only was he inferior to others, but he was also very different from Shen Ao in terms of strength. Otherwise, how could Zheng Ke put all his hopes on the victims? I was afraid that the imperial court had already been impeached, and even the Grand Governor's Office was in a dilemma.
But everyone knows that there are only Chen Ao impeachers in this world. There are also people who impeach Chen Ao, but they are often kicked on the iron plate. With Chen Ao's holy family and his current status, who can shake this towering tree? With Chen Ao's temperament and ability, with a great governor's office, it's hard to say who scares whoever is!
Now, the overall situation has been decided. Chen Ao is about to start fighting back.
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Noon had passed, and Wen Xianzhi, who was sitting in the hall, was already anxious at this time. Every time a stick of incense was in the middle of the imperial envoy's headquarters. At first, Wen Xianzhi was still calm, but the later he felt something was wrong.
The imperial envoy seemed to be prepared for a long time. Hundreds of lieutenants actually followed the prefect's office and were kept airtight. All this was by no means a coincidence. Could it be that Chen Ao had received the news before?
"Absolutely impossible!" Wen Xianzhi made a conclusion. Unless Chen Ao is a living god and can calculate, how could he know that there was such a sudden move early this morning?
He closed his eyes and leaned on the pear wooden chair, guessing all kinds of possibilities. At this time, a soldier came to report to him: "Sir, the victims are about to disperse..."
Wen Xianzhi suddenly stood up, her face twitching. Once she missed this opportunity, Chen Ao would be impeccable. What will happen next? But he could never predict. He had been the Grand Commander-in-Chief for ten years, and maybe he should get out of here next moment.
Wen Xianzhi couldn't afford to bet on this big bet.
Wen Xianzhi smiled coldly and said, "I should have expected this situation long ago, and since that's the case, I'll add another fire!" He shouted and said to the soldier: "Go and tell Du Yu Hou Wenshang that it's time for him to appear."
The north wind whistled. Although it was noon, no sunlight was revealed. The sky was gloomy and snow was everywhere. Not far from the imperial envoy's headquarters, teams of cavalry began to appear. These people were wearing border armor, Fan Yang hats on their heads, and spears in their hands. The weather was too cold, and many people couldn't help but get off their horses and stomped their feet in the snow to breathe. Although there were not many cavalrymen, they were one of the elite troops of Taiyuan border troops, and the leader was Wen Shang.
Wen Shang sat on the horse very seriously, but did not scold the soldiers' actions.
After waiting for half an hour, a man suddenly came over and said, "Mr. Du Yu, the governor has an order to quell the rebellion!"
"Everything is on!" Wen Shang conveyed the order to the personal guard behind him.
"Get on horses, get on horses, get on horses!" A few orders were conveyed. The cavalry had to turn over and sit on the cold saddle. Many war horses began to sniff, and the horse's hooves digged the snow on the ground.
Wen Shang said coldly: "Someone in the city caused chaos and surrounded the imperial envoy. The King of Pingxi is now in danger. If there is a slight mistake, the whole city of Taiyuan will be punished by death! Now, you will follow Wen to quell the rebellion and defend the king's carriage. Anyone who stays near the imperial envoy is a rebellion, and they will be killed without any worries. Do you understand?"
"Suppress the rebellion and defend the king's lord!" The border soldiers were energetic. After all, they were elites among the border soldiers. After the order was conveyed, many murderous intents immediately flashed in their eyes.
Wen Shang pulled out the long knife from his waist and pointed forward: "Go!"
"kill!"
The horse's hooves roared on the snow, and countless strong horses began to speed up, with long swords and spears pointing in front of the north wind, facing the north wind, two thousand cavalrymen, like wind sweeping over the remaining clouds, galloping on this empty street.
From here, it was the passage to the imperial envoy's headquarters. The galloping war horse only took half a incense stick to discover the enemy ahead.
These people were dressed in rags, obviously victims. They had just returned from the imperial envoy and were about to disperse, but when they saw the cavalry rushing towards them, they were stunned.
These people obviously did not realize the danger and were ready to hide on the roadside to let them go. Unexpectedly, a loud roar came from the opposite side: "The King of Pingxi has an order, and the rebellion is in chaos. Your Highness is in danger and orders us to quell the rebellion. In front of us are the rebels and rebels, kill them!"
"kill!"
The torrent of the iron cavalry gathered rushed over without hesitation. The front row of cavalry spears pressed down, forming a row of spear forests, cutting through the north wind, and roaring in front of the victims. Then the spears quickly penetrated the obstacle in front of them. Uh... The cavalry on the horse saw a pair of desperate and unwilling eyes, flashing with the last bit of luster. The cavalry on the horse showed a cruel grin, as if mocking the person in front of him for overestimating his ability and the mantis blocked the chariot.
On this narrow long street, facing the cavalry's charge, these unarmed victims had almost only one ending.
The blood spread, and the dozens of victims at the front were immediately pierced through their bodies and were trampled into meat paste by countless strong horses.
"Hurry, run!"
The victims behind reacted at this time, quickly became chaotic, and flocked toward the imperial envoy's headquarters.
Chaos spread rapidly, and the cavalry behind them were like wolves and tigers. There were crowds of people in front of them, wailing everywhere, screaming everywhere, and screaming one after another.
The victims were like flocks of sheep and had to rush back to the imperial envoy's headquarters, climbed the wall frantically, knocked on the gate of the prefect's office, and entered here, perhaps there was a glimmer of hope. Staying outside would be a dead end.
Everyone is crazy...
………………………………………………………………………………………………
"What's going on?" The sudden chaos made Shen Ao feel something was wrong. He quickly walked to the front yard. At this time, the victims were already rushing towards the prefect's office like a tide. Even the wooden plug at the gate was broken by huge force, and hundreds of lieutenants had to hold onto the shoulders tightly. As for the wall, people climbed up from time to time, risking jumping down and breaking into the inner wall. The lieutenants couldn't stop them, so they had to control these people.
"The King of Pingxi is here to quell the rebellion!" Many people yelled loudly, and the sound was everywhere.
Shen Ao's face had completely pulled down, and he clenched his fists and shouted: "What's wrong?"
Tong Hu rolled over and crawled over. He had experienced dozens of battles, but he had never encountered such a panic that made him feel uneasy.
"Your Highness, Your Highness... the border army came to suppress the rebellion under the name of Your Highness. The horse team drove out the victims and the victims..."
There is no need to say anything about the following. The whole situation is like a sandwich cookie. The outermost part is the border army, which is like a wolf and a tiger, expelling everywhere and chasing the victims. The victims are squeezed between the border army and the prefect's office, and have no way to escape. They have to rush to the imperial envoy like crazy. The captain in the prefect's office is already furious at this time, but he has no way to deal with the border army on the outermost. Instead, he is furious by the waves of disaster victims.
Even though Chen Ao had a lot of bad water, he would never have expected that Zheng Ke and Wen Xianzhi would do so resolutely, using the lives of tens of thousands of people as bargaining chips. These crazy disaster victims were approaching despair under the expulsion of the border troops. In order to escape, they had to rush into the prefect's office. The border troops were under the name of Chen Ao to suppress the rebellion. If Chen Ao let these disaster victims come in, the crazy disaster victims would inevitably have a conflict with Chen Ao and the captain. Either the disaster victims died or Chen Ao died, there was no suspense.
Chen Ao's hands were already trembling, not fear, but anger, a kind of anger from the deepest part of his heart. He didn't expect this possibility, just because he never believed that someone had done so thoroughly, and never believed that people could be shameless. The lives of thousands and tens of thousands of people turned out to be just tools and jokes in their eyes!
Chen Ao's eyes were red, he pressed the Shangfang sword on his waist and shouted: "Open the door and let the victims come in!"
"Your Highness..." Tong Hu was stunned for a moment and said loudly: "No, put people in, aren't these unknown victims... not..."
He even stuttered and finally said heavily: "No."
