The first emperor of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 149
"My lord, the disaster victims have clashed with the government." Zhao Tingxuan hurried back and said to Li Chengqian.

"I don't know why there is a conflict?" Li Chengqian asked Zhao Tingxuan.

"It is said that there is not much rice in the porridge. An old man fainted from hunger, and his son wanted to have an extra bowl of rice soup. Instead, he was beaten by a soldier."

"This has caused public outrage. Now the victims have knocked down the porridge shed. Now they are heading in the direction of the Bianzhou granary." Zhao Tingxuan said to Li Chengqian.

"It sounds very reasonable, but I always feel that there seems to be something tricky in it." Li Chengqian thought for a while and said.

"My lord, let me see that the officials forced the people to rebel. It was the governor of Bianzhou and the governor of Bianzhou who embezzled the relief food, which caused the victims to riot." Xue Rengui said to Li Chengqian.

"It stands to reason that Uncle Cheng and the others should have arrived in Bianzhou now. Don't you think it's a bit of a coincidence that the riot happened at this time?" Li Chengqian said.

"Didn't you send the two Huobao brothers to the victims? If you ask them, you will know what's going on." Cheng Chuhuan said to Li Chengqian.

"My lord forgot about these two brothers, clean up. Let's go to the Bianzhou granary." Li Chengqian smiled and said.

……

When Li Chengqian brought people to the Bianzhou granary, the victims were fighting with Bianzhou government soldiers.Moreover, the governor of Bingzhou kept screaming, ordering the soldiers not to harm the victims.

But in this way, it actually fueled the arrogance of the victims.In the end, he broke through the siege of Bianzhou government soldiers.He rushed directly into the granary.

Not long after, someone rushed out of the Bianzhou granary carrying grain.And more and more people rushed into the granary to grab grain.

After repeated attempts by Li Wenzhi, the governor of Bianzhou, failed.He had no choice but to order the Bianzhou government soldiers to start attacking the victims who were robbing food.

It stands to reason that there is no flaw in this, and it can even be said that the governor of Bianzhou has done his best.

However, Li Chengqian discovered the clues, because the targets of Bianzhou government soldiers may not be the victims who were carrying food.

However, most of the victims who ran out carrying food were not attacked by Bianzhou soldiers.

This can't help but make Li Chengqian feel puzzled, and found out after careful observation.Those victims who were not attacked have one thing in common.

That's a few straws stuck in their heads.It doesn't look any different, and it matches the image of the disaster victims very well.

But most of those who didn't put straws on their heads were attacked by Bianzhou soldiers.

Looking at everything in front of him, Li Chengqian couldn't help but angrily said: "For my own selfishness, I did such a crazy thing."

"My lord, what do you mean, all this is a conspiracy by the governor of Bianzhou and the governor of Bianzhou?" Xue Rengui asked Li Chengqian with an expression of disbelief.

"If the disaster victims really did it spontaneously, I'm afraid they have not waited for them to rush into the granary. The governor of Bianzhou has already ordered a counterattack."

"They did stop the victims symbolically. On the surface, they seemed to be sympathetic to the people and couldn't bear to do it. In fact, they wanted to let them rush into the granary." Li Chengqian said.

"Since this is the case, what should we do now? We can't watch these innocent people die like this." Xue Rengui said to Li Chengqian.

"The two of you took advantage of the chaos to go to the governor of Bianzhou, and I will control that Bianzhou." Li Chengqian said to Xue Rengui and Zhao Tingxuan after thinking about it.

Although Li Chengqian and Zhao Tingxuan didn't understand why Li Chengqian asked them to do this.But out of trust in Li Chengqian, he didn't ask anything.

Then Li Chengqian said to Jiang Chengzu: "Go among the victims, find a way to incite the victims, and besiege the governor of Bianzhou and the governor of Bianzhou."

After Jiang Chengzu nodded, he walked towards the crowd.And yelled loudly: "All this is done by these two dog officials, as long as we can arrest these two high-ranking officials. We will not go hungry again in the future."

As long as the victims are not hungry, they can do whatever they want now.Now that they heard that Jiang Chengzu showed them a clear path, how could they not be excited.

Soon someone responded to Jiang Chengzu and shouted loudly together.All of a sudden, the calls for taking down the two dog officials became louder and louder.

Seeing the flood victims rushing towards them like a tide, Li Wenzhi, governor of Bianzhou, and Lu Qinghong, governor of Bianzhou, couldn't help being surprised.

If these disaster victims really rioted, it would be beyond their control.

So Li Wenzhi, the governor of Bianzhou, desperately urged the soldiers of Bianzhou to kill the victims who rushed over.

But the number of disaster victims is increasing, and those government soldiers can't control the situation at all.And at this critical moment, two horizontal knives were placed on the necks of the governor of Bianzhou and the governor of Bianzhou.

"Don't move, if you move again. I can't guarantee that your heads are still on your neck." Xue Rengui said coldly.

"If you want to rebel, have you ever thought about what the result will be?" Lu Qinghong, the governor of Bianzhou, said to Xue Rengui.

However, Xue Rengui and Zhao Tingxuan didn't pay any attention to it. Instead, they took the two of them as hostages and threatened to stop the state soldiers.

Seeing that the governor of Bianzhou and the governor of Bianzhou have been brought under control, the victims of the riots also calmed down.

At the same time, Li Chengqian stepped over and shouted loudly: "Folks, please stay safe and don't be impatient."

"All of this was arranged by these two dog officials, in order for you to rob the treasury of food."

"This is to conceal the fact that they are greedy for ink and disaster relief. If you continue to make mistakes, you will become the accomplices of these two dog officials."

"Folks, don't listen to his nonsense. It must be him and these two dog officials who are acting in order to make us give up resistance."

"When the imperial court's army arrives, we and I will really have no way out." Someone shouted loudly among the victims.

Can't help but make the victims who have just calmed down, one by one, eager to try again.Surrounded in the direction of Li Chengqian.

Seeing this scene, Li Chengqian knew that it was impossible to control the emotions of the victims with a few words.The only way is to convince the victims that they are being used.

So Li Chengqian shouted loudly: "Where are the guards of the sage king, quickly take down the person with the straw on his head. If there is any resistance, shoot and kill."

Following Li Chengqian's order, hundreds of people rushed into the victims in an instant.Those victims with straw stuck in their heads were pressed to the ground.

This sudden scene left everyone stunned.In any case, they never expected that the famous virtuous king Li Chengqian would appear at this time.

Lu Qinghong and Li Wenzhi were even more taken aback. If the person in front of them was really the virtuous king Li Chengqian, then they were really not far from death.
