It's broken, and was picked up by a femme fatale

Is it all voluntary?
When this sentence was said, both Lu Yuan and Gao Mingna felt a little strange.

Li Qingluan nodded with certainty and said:
“Speaking of which, this matter started yesterday.

I thought you had arranged this secretly.

After some investigation, I found out that it was all due to rumors that came from nowhere during this period.

They said that the imperial envoy wanted to ban our Yanxiang Society."

Oh?
There is no need to conduct a special investigation into this rumor to find out whether someone secretly released it.

Because of this matter about the imperial envoy, there have been a lot of rumors ever since Lu Yuan had a falling out with him.

After all, so many people were watching that incident at the time, so it must have spread widely.

The common people have nothing to do on weekdays, so naturally they would talk about this matter.

Some things change their meaning as we talk about them, or in other words, their original meaning changes.

Maybe these common people were just talking about it, but no one knew who was so smart or just bragging.

He boasted in there that he knew the inside story, and then started making up stories.

Of course, we can't say that he was completely making things up. After all, from the situation at that time to the situation now, it's basically the same idea.

But anyway, there are many people who are good at doing things and have nothing to do.

Once this kind of thing got out, it was spread by the crosstalk performers under the overpass.

Basically, everyone outside the Great Wall knows about it.

At this time, Li Qingluan also said:
“The news spread very quickly, it just happened in the past few days.

Then, for some reason, one village suddenly became unhappy and started gathering people to cause trouble in Taining City.

This was quickly supported by others.

People in the city also started to make noise, and people from the surrounding villages also started to move into the city one after another.

There were only a handful of people yesterday, but today the scale suddenly expanded.

In addition, we have received news from various large villages outside the Great Wall, saying that many villagers are on their way.

This was when I first learned the news, and I thought it was good for us, so I didn’t interfere.”

Listening to Li Qingluan's words, Lu Yuan nodded thoughtfully.

Li Qingluan continued:

“Just watch, this matter is not at its most lively today.

Wait for three to five days until most of the people outside the pass have arrived, then there will be some fun.”

Lu Yuan frowned and said:
"Is there really no one bewitching you here?
This is a bit too big.”

Lu Yuan really felt it was a little unbelievable. After all, it would be difficult to achieve such a scale without someone's instigation.

Could it be that all these people are here just to join in the fun?

But how is this possible?
If you say that people in the city are just joining in the fun, that's fine.

But the problem is that most of the people here are rural residents. If they don't hurry up and plant crops at home during the spring, and waste this period of time, you won't have any food to harvest in the fall.

Li Qingluan looked at Lu Yuan very confidently and said:

"Absolutely not. They just volunteered."

Hearing this, Lu Yuan frowned, not knowing what to say. The main reason was that Lu Yuan really didn't quite understand this matter.

Gao Mingna, who had been silent until now, suddenly said slowly:

“This is the will of the people…”

Ok?
Listening to Gao Mingna's words, Lu Yuan turned his head and looked at Gao Mingna in some surprise, wondering what this woman was talking about.

At this time, Gao Mingna turned her head and looked at Lu Yuan seriously and said:

"Perhaps you haven't thought about how much your actions over the past few months have affected the people."

Listening to Gao Mingna's words, Lu Yuan couldn't help but fall into silence.

This is indeed the case.

When it comes to historical things on this earth, one of the most popular issues discussed is whether this dynasty is better or that dynasty is better.

When it comes to what is good about this dynasty, it is basically the target of discussion, or simply the target of debate.

It's all about the emperor of this dynasty.

But many people have never thought about how the people of this dynasty lived.

It’s like there are always people saying that the population increased several times during the Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong reigns, and there are also always people saying that the territory conquered during the Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong reigns was extremely large.

However, few people mention that during the prosperous reigns of Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong, only seven or eight people out of tens of thousands of people in a town could read.

You know, even when the Ming Dynasty was about to fall, local areas could still hold debate competitions with thousands of people.

All we can say is that the population has increased and the territory has indeed become larger.

But that was all thanks to the emperor.

But the people below live like pigs and dogs, with no dignity at all.

They don’t understand why people should live, and they don’t know what to pursue.

For them, it is enough to have three meals a day, and occasionally having meat or fish is something worth celebrating.

All I can say is that it is true.

But people shouldn't be like this.

It’s like when people on Earth discuss something online now, there will often be a few highly-rated comments asking what does this have to do with me, and can it allow me to get a little more salary?

It is indeed true that the people cannot think of anything else but how to have enough food to eat and pay less for their mortgage and car loans.

But it shouldn't be like this.

Because only pigs kept in pig sties only worry about their own three meals a day.

For the people of the Shenling Empire, they have become numb after being exploited for so long.

They will only resist if they are really starving to death.

But one difference is Lu Yuan, who has done so many things in these three months.

Let these people experience the joy of being human.

Of course, during this period of time, whether it was the expansion of the factory or other things that Lu Yuan was doing.

Many people in the entire temple have benefited from the Yanxiang Club and experienced the joy of being a human being here.

But even if there were more, it would definitely not be as large as it is now.

The reason why so many people are still willing to come is because they see hope in Yanxiang Club.

Although most of these people did not receive any benefits from the Yanxiang Society.

But they heard the story of the Yanxiang Society.

This sentence is like a person who has been blind since childhood, and suddenly one day he is able to open his eyes and see everything.

But at this time, another person suddenly appears and wants to blind your eyes again. Will you fight with him at this time?

That’s pretty much what this matter means.

Although Lu Yuan has done a lot of things, the time is too short and the benefits have not yet spread to the people outside the Great Wall.

But the people knew about this, and they were willing to wait. They also believed that what Lu Yuan had done would soon be their turn.

But at this time the Imperial Envoy appeared, and he wanted to destroy the Yanxiang Society.

Then of course these people have to come out to protect their eyes.

Speaking of this matter, Lu Yuan was really a little surprised.

After all, Lu Yuan is actually a very realistic person. Lu Yuan always believes that if you want others to help you, you must become a community of interests with them.

Many of these people did not form a community of interests with Lu Yuan. Or they just had the beginning of it, but in the end, what Lu Yuan did had not yet benefited them.

So Lu Yuan always thought that these people would not do anything, but he never expected that there would be such a grand occasion.

I really didn't expect that Yanxiang would have such a status in the eyes of the people outside the Great Wall.

But let’s get back to the matter.

It's not good to make too much noise.

Of course, this doesn't mean it's bad for Lu Yuan.

At this moment, the biggest beneficiaries of this matter must be Lu Yuan and Gao Mingna.

After all, if the two people were to do this kind of thing on their own according to their previous idea, it would definitely not be possible to achieve this scale.

The scale of this incident is so huge that it is almost affecting the entire outside of the Great Wall.

But the imperial envoy is no pushover. So many of you came here to make trouble and blocked his door, preventing him from even coming out.

If this gets too urgent, Nan will definitely send troops to suppress it.

Many people will die by then.

The imperial envoy is definitely capable of doing such a thing. After all, in the eyes of these bigwigs, the lives of the people are not lives at all.

They said they would kill you, and they really did kill you.

Since these people are helping Lu Yuan so much, Lu Yuan naturally cannot let these people get hurt.

What's more, suppression is actually the best way to deal with such things.

In front of so many people, he stabbed two people to death and hacked two people to death.

Basically, the people who came to protest would be scared and would disperse.

Of course, these people gathered here voluntarily for their ideals.

But because of this, it is not particularly reliable.

Lu Yuan believed that these people came here because they really wanted to protect the Yanxiang Society.

But the problem is that if one’s life is really in danger and one might really die here, then everyone would want to back off.

After all, ideals are one thing, but if you really die, that’s another thing.

This thing gathers quickly and disperses quickly as well.

After stabbing a few people to death, those who are afraid will leave first. Then as long as one group of people leaves, the rest will also leave.

This thing is like how they came.

If one group of people comes to protest, many more groups will follow.

Similarly, if one group of people wants to leave, many people will follow them.

This momentum must not be dissipated, so we must prevent this kind of thing from happening.

Otherwise, all the efforts will be in vain.

And who should I contact for this matter?
Looking for Prefect Chen.

He is the top official leader in the entire Taining City.

The armed forces in Taining City were under his command.

Whether it was the city guards or the prefectural guards, all of them were dispatched by Prefect Chen.

And these forces must belong to their side, to separate the common people from the people led by the imperial envoy and form a protection circle.

In particular, it is necessary to protect the people from being harmed by the imperial envoy.

Another point is that it is actually protecting the imperial envoy.

After all, everyone is very angry now. What if someone gets too excited and rushes straight into the mansion with others?

You said that so many people suddenly rioted and rushed into the palace. Wouldn’t that really mean they were going to beat the imperial envoy to death?
What Lu Yuan wants now is for the imperial envoy to leave, not for him to die.

If he died outside the Great Wall, that would be a big problem, not to mention all the investigations that would take place.

The most important thing is that the imperial court can send officers and soldiers outside the Great Wall with reason.

After all, an imperial envoy died outside the Great Wall, and the court's reasons were very legitimate.

So this matter must be done carefully and no mistakes can be made.

Realizing this, Lu Yuan stopped wasting time and immediately stood up and took Gao Mingna to see the prefect.

However, just as he got up, someone came to report that Prefect Chen had arrived at the gate.

……

"President Lu, you just came back from Shanhaiguan. Logically speaking, I am..."

As soon as Magistrate Chen came in, he began his opening remarks, but before he could finish his words, he saw Gao Mingna next to him.

Prefect Chen is one of the few people who knows Gao Mingna’s two identities.

Now seeing Gao Mingna, wearing armor in front of Li Qingluan and Zhao Qiaoer, Prefect Chen couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

It seems that I am a little confused about what is going on now.

Lu Yuan looked at Prefect Chen and said directly:
"Don't worry about her, just talk about your business."

Prefect Chen nodded, and then immediately said:

“I believe President Lu has already seen the current situation in the city when he came back.

And this is just the beginning. Now the government offices below report that people from all over the country are now gathering in Taining City.

This kind of thing is not very good. Can we discuss it?

This is a bit too big!"

This magistrate Chen is different from other officials.

This person never hides anything when both parties know the truth.

It's completely different from that imperial envoy.

To be honest, Lu Yuan really likes the character of Chen Zhifu.

You just come up and directly name and point out that you are the one who did this. You can’t do this.

If it were the imperial envoy who came, I'm afraid he would have to go through a lot of twists and turns before he could get here.

Since Prefect Chen was so direct, Lu Yuan naturally did not hesitate and went straight to the point:

“This matter has nothing to do with us.

It was all voluntary on the part of the people, and we did not do anything in secret."

After Lu Yuan finished speaking, Prefect Chen looked at him with some surprise.

After all, with such a large scale, it would be hard to believe if no one did anything secretly.

However, Prefect Chen believed in Lu Yuan.

Because Lu Yuan then said directly:

"Although we didn't do this, I came back to do this."

Prefect Chen: “…”

Prefect Chen was also planning to say that since it was not done by them, he would quickly disperse the people.

As a result, Lu Yuan turned around and said this.

Then Lu Yuan told Prefect Chen what he had just planned to talk about.

Just tell his people not to help the imperial envoy.

After Lu Yuan finished speaking, Prefect Chen looked at him with a frown and said:

"I'm so stupid!!" (End of this chapter)
