Blocking the way to redress grievances must be to officials who are admired and trusted.

As expected, Cheng Guogong was so deeply loved in the capital.

The soldiers at the front line couldn't help being proud.

I don't know what grievance these people have?

As soon as the thought flashed, the group of people shouted loudly.

"Mr. Cheng has gone on a rampage, asking for money!"

"Duke Cheng raises his army and is warlike, causing chaos all over the world!"

"Duke Cheng used war to make money and seize the livelihood of the people!"

The shout echoed on the road, causing everyone to look horrified.

The soldiers who were a little excited were stunned.

What?

Raising troops to fight? Chaos?

who? say...they?

While in a daze, one of the kneeling crowd raised his hand and threw a rotten fruit over.

Either because of the distance, or because the person who threw the fruit was nervous and trembling, the fruit did not hit the soldiers, but fell on the ground in front of them with a slap.

The sound was actually not loud, but for some reason, it was extremely loud in the ears of the soldiers, just like the stone bombs thrown by the Qingshan Army before the battle, and the ears were buzzing after the explosion.

The juice of the fruit seemed to be on their faces, sticky and hot.

"Strive for war!"

"Disaster for the country and the people!"

"Give me back my life!"

"Empty the treasury!"

"The people are living in dire straits!"

Shouts came one after another, more melons and fruits were thrown at them, and the sluggish crowd finally regained their senses, and the scene was in an uproar.

The soldiers on duty rushed in to drive them away, and the kneeling people resisted vigorously, ignoring the knives, guns and sticks in the hands of the soldiers.

"Officers and soldiers killed!"

Several old women rolled to the ground, howled and ran towards the soldiers.

Of course, the officers and soldiers couldn't really kill these people with their own hands. For a while, it was as if they were stuck in a mud pit, and the scene was in chaos.

"How is this going?"

"It's someone who couldn't pay the money and was not allowed to set up a stall a while ago."

"Pay and pay for what?"

"Of course it's the money that is rewarded to Duke Cheng."

"Haven't heard of it?"

"You are stupid, you haven't heard that the salaries of officials have been confiscated, and these merchants are of course no exception."

The sound of inquiries and discussions spread like the wind, the original cheers dissipated, and the expressions of the onlookers became strange and complicated.

The army formation was still in good order, and the soldiers and horses were all standing still, but the iron-blooded spirit before seemed to have been weakened a lot under the noisy cries and the gaze of complicated eyes.

……………………………………………

Countless officials lined up in front of the imperial city according to their ranks. Because the emperor hadn't arrived yet, everyone was chatting and laughing in low voices, and the atmosphere was relaxed and leisurely.

But soon the imperial guards galloped over and whispered something to an official. The official changed his face and hurried inward. Soon the news spread, and the venue became a bit noisy.

"how so?"

"It was actually stopped."

"How can I do that?"

Standing in the back row, Ning Yunzhao sighed as he listened to the whispered discussions of the people around him.

"Young official Ning, who are you sighing for?" Someone asked in a low voice, "Is it sad for Duke Cheng?"

Even though Ning Yunzhao kept a low profile, he was Ning Yan's nephew after all. Ning Yan was fired for defending and supporting Duke Cheng. Many people still unconsciously attribute him to the faction of defending Duke Cheng.

"You can also say that." Ning Yunzhao replied with a calm expression, "but it is actually for His Majesty. After all, Cheng Guogong is the emperor's face. He was stopped at this time and couldn't see him on time. His Majesty also has no honor. "

Well, Ning Yunzhao is a person who obeys the emperor's orders, and everyone knows this.

The man coughed lightly, and pointed at several high-ranking officials who were walking out quickly.

"The adults have all gone, and it should be resolved." He whispered, "It won't delay the auspicious time of His Majesty's meeting."

Ning Yunzhao also nodded.

"I believe Cheng Guo Guild will protect His Majesty's face," he said.

Believe in Cheng Guogong? How does Cheng Guogong maintain it? Plead guilty to the small merchants and peddlers, the old, the weak, women and children who block the way, and let them get out of the way?

The officials who got the news here hurried out of the city, and the noise seven miles away over there was even bigger.

The influx of crowds almost stopped the officers and soldiers on duty who came to reinforce the order after hearing the news. The crying and shouting people on the road fought with the officers and soldiers, and some people who were lured to the middle of the road by De Shengchang's money also began to follow. Yelling and making noise.

"I want to see Duke Cheng!"

"Let Cheng Guogong come out!"

"Give us an explanation!"

Nearly a hundred people shouted loudly, waved banners, and even rushed towards the army formation.

The faces of the soldiers standing at the forefront of the army had long since lost their excitement, replaced by numbness, confusion and loss that could not be concealed.

The army formation suddenly parted, and a man in armor came over on horseback.

Everyone who saw the presence of the visitor was stunned.

Although she was wearing armor and a hat covering her face, she was definitely a girl.

There are women in the army?

The appearance of this woman surprised everyone, and the noise became much quieter unconsciously.

"Hey, are you making a fuss because the government collects money and doesn't want to pay it?" Zhao Hanqing asked loudly.

I heard that Cheng Guogong was rescued from Yizhou by his daughter-in-law. Is this the girl next to the wife of the eldest son?

The leading man's eyes flickered.

No matter who the visitor is, as long as they come out to ask questions, the matter can be determined as the Duke of the country. Seeing that the officers and soldiers who were pulling them all stopped hesitantly at this moment.

And let a little girl come out to ask questions, how easy it is for a little girl to deal with.

The man held back the ecstasy in his heart, and said yes loudly, and the others also echoed, and the scene became chaotic again.

"...The reason the government took our money is for..." The man continued to speak loudly, but was interrupted by the girl just as he spoke.

"Disobeying orders is a crime." She said loudly, "Gathering a crowd to make trouble is a crime. Criminals and rioters should be punished according to the law. You will be arrested as soon as possible."

What? Criminals and rioters? Just get caught?

The noisy scene was quiet again.

What do you say? Why did they commit crimes against the people? Who does she think she is!

The leading man came back to his senses, amused and furious.

What a remote warrior woman, ignorant and ridiculous.

"We are not rioters, we are oppressed..." he shouted.

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the girl again.

"We are ordered to enter the city, you should retreat quickly, otherwise you will be disobeying the emperor's order." She shouted loudly, "Anyone who dares to disobey the emperor's order will be killed without mercy."

Kill without mercy? real or fake?

Everyone present was stunned, what was this little girl talking about?

As the thought flashed, the little girl raised the crossbow in her hand and pointed it at them, and following her movements, the soldiers behind her raised the crossbow almost simultaneously.

The bright and chilly crossbow arrows flickered in front of their eyes, which made the people who had never seen such a scene let out a cry of surprise and rushed back.

The murderous aura made the leading man tremble for a while, his expression fluctuating.

Kill without mercy? How can it be? If they were facing Jin Yiwei at this time, they would not have doubts, but how could Cheng Guogong act like Jin Yiwei?

"Don't panic, old man, I don't believe it. Cheng Guo Guild, who loves the people like a son, will shoot and kill us wronged people." He shouted loudly and took a step forward.

The others also stabilized their minds.

"That's right, I'm waiting for a grievance to complain."

"We are common people, not gold thieves."

"Officers and soldiers dare not kill us."

"Duke Cheng is going to kill the people."

There were chaotic shouts, cursing and crying, and the crowd surged forward again.

"Let the arrows go."

A clear and cold female voice sounded, and accompanied by a buzzing sound, one after another crossbow arrows flew in unison.

There were screams from all around, and even the officers and soldiers on duty to maintain order subconsciously shouted.

Fortunately, those feathered arrows did not actually shoot at people, but inserted a row in front of the feet of the surging crowd.

Rao was so frightened that a row of people in front sat softly on the ground, howling dryly.

It actually shot an arrow!

The man standing in the middle looked terrified, but he gritted his teeth again.

See, although they dared to shoot arrows, they dared not shoot people. This is bluffing.

"Don't be afraid of them," he shouted, waving his hands. "We want an explanation! We want an account!"

Accompanied by his shout, the surprised crowd hesitated to move forward again.

Zhao Hanqing put away the crossbow, and following her movements, the soldiers behind her also put away the crossbow.

Look, look, they're scared!

The crowd was overjoyed for a while, and before their joy faded, they saw the girl draw out a spear.

"Form the formation, move forward!" She shouted loudly, and swung the spear in her hand forward, pointing at the crowd blocking the way.

There was a clatter behind them, and the army moved in unison. The crossbowmen in the front row retreated, and a team of spearmen appeared.

"drink!"

Accompanied by Qiqi's shouting, they galloped forward in formation.

The horseshoes rolled, the ground shook, and their expressions were solemn and dull, as if they were facing gold thieves instead of ordinary people. The spears in their hands were cold and bloody.

A murderous atmosphere swept over the sky.

After so many days, I finally climbed up to the backstage to take a look. It was really lonely during the first watch.
