Facing the first batch of 2,400 heavily armed and well-trained Liang Jiajun, this group of scholars could not rush to the high platform no matter how hard they pushed.
Leihong, who was the first to bear the brunt, had a sullen face and pushed a scholar away with his shield.
People from Yanzhou also came from behind, holding mud balls in baskets and throwing them at Liang Jiajun.
Bang bang...
The mud ball hit the armor and did not cause any real damage to Liang Jiajun.
However, everyone in the Liang Family Army endured their anger and did not take action, only blocking with their shields.
Most of these people were family members of the scholars, and a small number were bewitched and came to denounce them.
But the military orders were like mountains, and Liang Xiao had explicitly prohibited them from actively harming the people.
"The prefect has an order to maintain order at the scene. Anyone who disturbs order will be punished in public!"
It wasn't until several heralds passed along the order that Liang Jiajun finally lowered his face and stared at the group of scholars rushing over with an evil look.
The scholars backed away nervously, and Dugu Chen gritted his teeth and said: "It is better to defend the people than to defend the river! Liang Xiao, you are trying to hurt thousands of Yanzhou people and students!"
Everyone in the academy was extremely angry and about to explode, but Lei Hong finally took action and raised Dugu Chen in public.
"These are the ones who disturb the order, take them all down!"
Lin Xiu counted them in public, and Liang Jiajun controlled the scholars who were causing the most trouble on the spot without saying a word.
"What do you want to do? How dare you, Liang Xiao, bully my Yanzhou students in broad daylight!!"
Dongye Luoyue finally rushed over from the talented girl team in the distance and shouted harshly.
Behind the Liang Jiajun, Mu Qinxue and Jiang Fuxue stared coldly at Dongye Luoyue, feeling resentful in their hearts.
They couldn't understand what kind of grudge Liang Xiao had against her, which could allow her to confront him again and again, regardless of the Higashikata family's face and position.
Just because of Nangong Ning?
"Luoyue!!"
The members of the Dongye clan were guarding the rear. The head of the family, Dongye Xuanji, noticed that Dongye had Luoyue's head, and his vision suddenly went dark, and then his eyes were about to split.
"You go home!!"
Dongye Xuanji desperately pushed through the crowd and tried to pull Dongye Luoyue back, but Dongye Luoyue pushed him away.
"Even if you sever the father-daughter relationship with me today, I will never give in to Liang Xiao! Thousands of pairs of eyes are watching, and what he has done has aroused public outrage!"
Dongye Xuanji was furious and raised his hand to slap her.
Duguchen immediately stood in front of Dongye Luoyue.
"Master Higashikata, what happened today is very clear. Do you have to risk the disapproval of the world to disgrace the Higashino clan?"
Higashi Ye Xuanji was about to scold him, but was stopped by Higashino Hiroki.
Dongye Hongji was so angry that he laughed back: "Then I want to see how you, Duguchen, are so different from one another!"
Dugu Chen rolled his eyes at Dongye Hongji and understood.
Higashino has made his position clear.
"Why did you stop me?" Higashino Xuanji was depressed after being pulled back by his brother.
"Don't cause trouble to Marquis Lanling at this time!" Dongye Hongji said helplessly.
Dongye Xuanji finally calmed down.
Teaching her daughter a lesson may only increase the anger of Yanzhou students.
But now the Dongye clan is eager to maintain the friendly relationship with Liang Xiao...
"Believe in Marquis Lanling." Dongye Hongji said solemnly.
Dongye Xuanji could only nod his head and looked at the figure on the high platform, stunned.
Liang Xiao is sitting on it...making tea!
Liang Xiao's calmness made these Yanzhou students even more angry.
There was a lot of cursing below.
"A single man! A cruel official! How can you be the governor of Yanzhou!"
The scholars, adhering to the principle that the law does not blame others, made arbitrary accusations and made endless accusations.
In the crowd, the knights looked worried.
Xiahou Qingyi just looked at Liang Xiao from afar, feeling annoyed.
At this moment, she deeply understood how painful it was to be unable to speak.
If I could speak, I would definitely be able to help.
"The Marquis of Lanling has always been kind to the people. He treats the people of Yanzhou just like he treats the people of his Lanling fiefdom!"
Xiahou Liuyuan and other knights spoke up to defend Liang Xiao. However, there were too many scholars present, and their voices were quickly drowned out by the curses.
"Why do you want to manipulate food prices?"
"Why are we enclosing land at low prices, destroying markets, and harming farmers?"
"Why should I kill Gongyang Lei? He is a member of the noble clan!!"
"You forced Mr. Duguyan to death, doesn't your conscience hurt at all?"
"Intensifying the conflict between Dazhou and Beihu will only bring disaster to Yanzhou, but you can escape unscathed!"
…
The anger of the people in the academy had been building up for a long time, and once it broke out, questions and answers arose one after another, attracting more and more people to watch.
Gongsun Yue saw this and frowned.
What she saw was that it was Liang Xiao who was helping the people of Yanzhou to solve the crisis and seek welfare, and he was even willing to compromise with her for one million stones of food.
Why can these scholars fabricate so many accusations?
Could it be that this group of people really has the final say in this world?
Are newspapers useless?
Gongsun Yue thought about it and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
The people in Yanzhou are poor, and not every household can buy newspapers for a long time.
Most people in Yanzhou have been on the verge of starvation, struggling to make a living...
The knights became more and more worried about Liang Xiao's situation, but when their eyes fell on Liang Xiao's table, they were stunned.
There was a tea set on the table, and the charcoal under the teapot was burning brightly, visible to the naked eye of those nearby.
Is he still making tea leisurely?
Everyone was puzzled.
Dugu Chen stared at Liang Xiao and couldn't help but feel confused.
At this point, how could he still be in the mood to sit around?
Even Zhuge Hui, facing such an angry people, should come out and defend himself, right?
"Liang Xiao! Even if you turn a deaf ear, you are just covering your ears and stealing the bell. Your evil deeds will be remembered by the people of Yanzhou forever! How dare you when the price of food is two hundred and fifty cents!"
The scholars were furious, but facing the tower-like Liang Jiajun, they did not dare to act rashly.
More than a dozen people have been publicly controlled and their hands tied.
Thousands of pairs of eyes could clearly see that this group of scholars attempted to attack the Liang Family Army officers, and it was only a matter of time before they were captured.
At least they can't make excuses now. They have to wait until today to stir up public opinion and make Liang Xiao bear the charge of bullying students.
Liang Xiao, who was making tea, had become the center of attention.
Several girls from Liang Xiao's family, everyone from the Liang Family Army, and Qin Baili and others began to sweat on their foreheads.
The influence of these scholars in Yanzhou is enough to create a civil uprising...
I don't know how long it took, but after Liang Xiao drank a cup of tea, he slowly stood up and walked to the stage, his voice was clear and majestic.
"You call yourself scholars and students, but now your words and deeds are like shrews scolding the streets?"
The whole place was much quieter than before.
Dugu Chen said loudly: "Isn't it that you, Liang Xiao, have been evading again and again and dare not respond?"
Liang Xiao said without thinking: "You have 1,200 mouths. Each one of you speaks like 1,200 ducks. It's endless. If I respond, isn't that similar to you?"
Duck?
There was laughter all around, and the scholars were filled with indignation. Just as they were about to explode, Liang Xiao spoke again.
"Let someone who can represent your opinions come forward and speak."
Liang Xiao said, waving towards Dugu Chen under everyone's nervous gaze.
"How about you come?"
