Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

Page 831

A burst of footsteps exploded in his ears, which made him jump up from the couch tensely like a frightened bird.

Just about to follow the sound to see who is running.

Then I heard a familiar voice, it was Yu Kui again, the guy who came to kill thousands of knives uninvited.

As soon as Yu Kui approached Liang Shidao, he yelled, "Lord Inspector, it's bad, it's bad, something happened!"

Liang Shidao was full of anger, and cursed: "Shut up, something happened to you, you howl every day, won't you change some fresh words?"

Yu Kui was not scolded this time, but he still yelled with a look of panic that the sky was falling: "Inspector Liang, you go out of the house for a while, now the whole county is spreading rumors about you!! "

"Gossip? Rumor?"

Liang Shidao was so angry that he suddenly shuddered, as if something big was about to happen, his brows were twisted into fist-sized bumps, and he shouted: "Yu Kui, what kind of rumors are circulating in the city? How dare you talk to me about it?" There are relationships?"

Chapter 661 The Destructive Power of Gossip

Yu Kui pursed his chapped lips, swallowed his saliva, and hissed, "Master Inspector, there are rumors in the streets, alleys, teahouses, restaurants, inns and bazaars in the city. You are the one who caused thousands of people to lose their livelihoods!"

"What? What's the matter with this assassin? The Cao gang is raging and committing crimes in the Minjiang River, and it's none of my business to send troops to the captain's mansion to destroy it? Are these troublemakers trying to rebel?"

Liang Shidao cursed angrily. At the same time, he lost his center of gravity while waving his arms in anger. He couldn't help but staggered twice, almost falling to the ground.

Seeing the opportunity, Yu Kui immediately stepped forward to support him, and said, "Lord Inspector, I don't know who chewed his tongue first, saying that it was because you were always obstructing the governor's office of Shu Prefecture, and always thinking about driving His Royal Highness the King of Shu out of Shu Prefecture." As a result, His Royal Highness the King of Shu could not control the military affairs of various places. Therefore, the military orders of the Dudu Mansion could not be carried out smoothly. Everyone. Sigh, anyway, the city is already full of uproar, and there are all sorts of ugly words, and it is likely that something big will happen..."

"Rumors, this is a rumor, this is a blatant rumor!!"

Boom, Liang Shidao shook off Yu Kui's support, and shouted angrily: "Someone must be behind the scenes to spoil my official voice and make me unrighteous. This is blatantly framing me! Captain, you go and investigate, go and spread the rumors and punish them severely, so as to dispel the rumors for this official!"

Yu Kui's face was contorted like a bitter melon, and he said in his heart, Mr. Inspector, in fact, I am not fooling you, you are indeed making trouble everywhere, trying to drive His Royal Highness the King of Shu out of Shuzhou.

But this is what he said in his heart. He didn't dare to touch Liang Shidao's brow at this time, but shook his head with a wry smile and said, "My lord, do you think we need to investigate the person behind this rumor? Who is the villain in this rumor? It's clear at a glance who is the sufferer. Even if we close our eyes and think about it, we can know who is the real source of the rumor."

"Hiss..." Liang Shidao's eyeballs bulged again, and he guessed in the cold wind: "You mean the king of Shu did something wrong? Could it be that even the series of actions of the Cao Gang to block the Minjiang River echoed this rumor from afar? Impossible, the king of Shu is only a half-grown child, and he has just come to Shuzhou, how can he have such supernatural abilities. Yu Kui, the Cao Gang is not a small gang of cats and dogs, it is the number one in Shu with [-] disciples Big help."

After hearing this, Yu Kui said with disappointment in his heart, it seems that Lord Inspector also has secrets and secrets, and he is really a spectator and a fan of the authorities.

Immediately, he reminded: "My lord, did you forget that there is such a difficult person beside His Royal Highness King Shu?"

"Guo... Guo Ye?"

At this moment, Liang Shidao also understood in an instant, and shouted suddenly: "Yes, yes, it is him. This person is from Longxi, and he has a lot of friends in Sichuan, and it is rumored that when he was in Longxi, he met this The Cao Gang is not doing anything clean. That’s right, it’s this Guo bandit who’s behind the scenes. He’s going to make this official unrighteous, and make Liang a target of hundreds of thousands of people in various prefectures and prefectures!”

Yu Kui continued to smile bitterly and said, "My lord, it's not just the hundreds of thousands of people who live by the Minjiang River who hate you? As long as this rumor spreads out of Shuzhou and spreads to several other state capitals, I'm afraid the governors of all state capitals will be angry." I hate you and despise you. The situation in several other state capitals is not optimistic now. I heard from the letter from Bazhou Zhechong Duwei's Mansion that the local governor's mansion has been surrounded by common people, fishermen and merchants in Bazhou. It’s been three days since the water leaked out.”

"Ah? Guo thief, Guo Ye's dog thief, this is to make me completely unable to gain a foothold in the officialdom of Sichuan."

Hearing what Yu Kui said, Liang Shidao's palms gradually became cold, and he gritted his teeth and said bitterly: "No, I can't let them mess around, I have to come forward to clarify this matter, this has nothing to do with me. Captain, let's go, you go with me to the city to meet the elders of Shuzhou, I want to refute the rumors in front of them!"

"Are you going out to the city?"

Yu Kui looked at Liang Shidao as if he had seen a ghost, and tried to dissuade him: "Master, you have to think twice before you act. Do you know what kind of chaos is in the city now? You know that the people in the city are talking According to legend, are you cursing or something?"

Liang Shidao didn't leave the house, so how could he know the latest facts, so he couldn't help asking: "What are they talking about?"

Yu Kui glanced weakly at Liang Shidao, and said softly, "Everywhere in the city is full of excitement, especially those civilians, fishermen and merchants who have lost their livelihoods, and they are all filled with righteous indignation and cursing you. There are all kinds of ugly words... ..."

"They accuse the adults of eating in the dead body, but they are first-class stupid officials."

"They say you eat people and don't shit."

"They scolded you as the one who started the evil, who will have no heirs, no offspring and grandchildren, no sons to die!"

"They even said..."

Speaking of this, Yu Kui's voice stopped abruptly, and he was a little bit embarrassed to speak.

Liang Shidao was so angry that he was shaking like a sieve, his fists were clenched tightly, his face turned blue and purple, and asked coldly, "What are they talking about? What else are they talking about? What are they trying to do?"

Yu Kui lowered his head deliberately avoiding Liang Shidao's cannibalistic eyes, and said bravely: "They said that since you want to cut off their way of life, they will tear down your governor's mansion, take your skin off, and slap you. Your tendons swallowed you alive, chopped you into meat paste and fed it to jackals."

"dare!!!"

Liang Shidao was furious and roared hoarsely: "How dare they rebel?"

Accidentally, Liang Shidao touched the head of the hooped hair to the ground, and his hair was disheveled immediately. In addition, his clothes were disheveled and his chest was exposed. At this time, he looked more like a drunk lunatic.

Seeing this, Yu Kui felt lingering fear for a while, and said in his heart, even if it was a rebellion, if the rumors continued, the government would force the people to rebel. When the court convicts, all the officials in Shuzhou will not be spared.

In order to keep the black hat worn by the Captain, and not to be implicated by Liang Shidao's madness, Yu Kui had no choice but to bravely hug the crazy Liang Shidao, and shouted: "My lord, calm down, calm down!" Ah, don't be impulsive, you must think twice before acting. You have to think about it, the canyon under Manglong Mountain is our root..."

Python Dragon Mountain!

Yu Kui uttered these three words and heard Liang Shidao's ears. In an instant, he felt as if he had been hit hard with a stick, his head was buzzing, and his whole body became quiet.

Gradually, his face became calm, he raised his head slightly, closed his eyes, and said in a deep voice, "Yes, you can't mess yourself up, you can't mess yourself up!"

boo boo~

Suddenly, a yamen servant ran in outside the courtyard and shouted in a panic: "Report, hug, report to the governor, thousands of people, and fishermen along the Minjiang River have surrounded our governor's mansion. They clamored to To tear down the Governor's Mansion, and to drag you out to parade in the streets..."

Boom!

The hearts of Yu Kui and Liang Shidao sank heavily at the same time, and a thought flashed through their minds at the same time—here, finally!

At this time, Liang Shidao was in a hurry to go to the doctor, and he asked Yu Kui, who he had always looked down upon, "Captain Yu, what should we do now?"

Fortunately, Yu Kui did not disappoint him, and quickly gave a reply: "My lord, although the soldiers I rushed to the Captain's Mansion could not use force to suppress the common people, they were dispatched to help maintain order and prevent the people from breaking into the Governor's Mansion." That's fine. Now, I'll dispatch a thousand mansion soldiers first. Don't you have a cellar in your mansion, my lord? You hide in the cellar and think about countermeasures. Maybe you can come up with a solution when you calm down completely. Woolen cloth?"

"Okay, you, you hurry up, hurry up and dispatch the government soldiers to guard the governor's mansion, and don't let these unruly people crash the gate of the governor's mansion."

After Liang Shidao finished speaking, he turned around and ran towards the chaihe courtyard in the direction of the cellar, his staggering figure really made him extremely embarrassed.

At this moment, a bold idea suddenly sprouted in Yu Kui's heart, saying that eating meat with wolves and shit with dogs, maybe I, Yu Kui, should jump out of the sinking ship of Governor Liang, right?

As soon as this idea was born, it flooded like the Yellow River bursting its embankment, and it was out of control.

Yu Kui tried his best to suppress this unprecedented idea of ​​his, and asked the yamen servant to take him out of the mansion through the small gate, thinking in his heart, it is better to keep the governor's mansion first.

……

……

Outside the governor's mansion.

Thousands of people, fishermen, and merchants with their buddies surrounded the entire governor's mansion in Shuzhou, clamoring for Liang Shidao to get out, tearing down the governor's mansion, and capturing Liang Shidao alive.

Although people are only besieging the governor's mansion at this moment, they have not begun to break through the governor's mansion.But this does not mean how long this status quo can last.
