"I'm just telling the truth." Yang Bing also wanted to save Magistrate Fang, but he spoke lightly and held a small official position.
Yang Bing glanced at the officers and soldiers who came with him, "The people are not at fault. I cannot arrest people for no reason. Please forgive me."
"Yang Bing, do you also want to join the people in rebellion?" Tu Kui was so angry that he almost vomited blood. The eyes of these menacing people seemed to tear him apart.
"I don't dare to lower my rank. The common people have raised their doubts. Mr. Tu is the father and mother of the common people. It is his duty to answer the common people's questions." Yang Bing still said that he was not afraid of death. Today he also risked his life. He had been quiet for too long and wanted to Erupted.
The worst possible outcome is losing your official position.
At this time, the people almost rushed forward: "Prefect Tu must give us an explanation today..."
Tu Kui was so frightened that he quickly hid behind him and whispered: "Where did Sun Zuo go? Why don't you go find him quickly?"
"Master Qi, didn't you order Master Sun to guard the city gate?" the officer reminded.
Tu Kui said angrily: "Asshole."
Nangong Yuanyi also looked at the officer named Yang Bing with appreciation in his eyes. He was the first officer to stand up against Tu Kui.
Immediately afterwards, Nangong Yuanyi glanced at the man in green, signaling him to control the situation, and then followed Tu Kui into the back office.
Tu Kui was forced to hide in the yamen. He pulled Nangong Yuanyi over and said, "Master Yuan, what should we do now? I didn't expect the people to make such a big fuss. I'm afraid it won't work if I ask them to buy food now."
Nangong Yuanyi nodded, "It won't work if we continue to make trouble like this. Now everyone is speaking for County Magistrate Fang. If Master Tu doesn't let him go, if they really go to Kyoto to complain, Master Tu's official career will also come to an end. .”
At this time, Wu Liang came in from the outside sweating profusely. It took him all the strength of nine oxen and two tigers to squeeze in: "Your Excellency, the disaster relief team from Kyoto has arrived in Zhangzhou City. The imperial envoy brought the food transport The procession and army are waiting outside the city gate.”
Tu Kui was shocked: "What? His Royal Highness is here. Didn't he say there are still a few days left?"
"The people who came are not the prince, but the King of Chu and His Royal Highness the Imperial Envoy Nan Wang." Wu Liang said again.
Tu Kui was so anxious that he broke into a cold sweat, "Hurry up and evacuate the people in the city, don't let them block the imperial envoy's way."
Wu Liang also had a look of despair on his face: "This is the reason why the official is so anxious to report to the prefect. I don't know why people have gathered outside the city gate. They are all people who came from various counties and towns. At this time, The relief team was blocked outside the city gate and could not enter. Fortunately, King Chu and King Nan led all elite cavalry troops, and Sun Zuo led troops to maintain order outside the city gate, so the people did not cause riots."
"What? How could this happen?" Tu Kui just wanted to faint. His head was completely unable to function.
Wu Liang had never seen Tu Kui's face look so ugly before, and he added: "There is another urgent matter now. I don't know whether to talk about it or not."
Tu Kui's pupils widened and he asked in shock: "What's the matter?"
"Fang County Magistrate's son Fang Shan also suddenly appeared. He wanted to overturn the case for his father. Now he has stopped in front of the imperial envoy's car. Because there were too many people, the official and Sun Zuo both stopped him." Wu Liang In fact, he gave Fang Shan a push and took the initiative to clear the obstacles for him, just waiting for Fang Shan to hand over Tu Kui's evidence to the imperial envoy.
Tu Kui was so anxious that he saw "Mr. Yuan" being so calm and composed, so he had to ask him for advice: "Mr. Yuan, think of a solution for me."
Nangong Yuanyi had a smile on his lips and said softly: "Why do these people come? It's not because of food."
Tu Kui shook his head and said: "No, I just thought that it was Zhu Gui who was controlling these people behind the scenes. Now Fang Shan suddenly appeared. He must have planned it in advance and incited the people to make trouble at the gate of the Yamen to ask for food. He wants to force me to let his father go."
