The concubine Jinghua first-class poisonous concubine

Chapter 994 Refugee Riots
Seeing the other party's cautious expression, Lan Yun slightly raised her eyebrows, as if she had expected him to say that, her tone sank instantly, "Is it an order from the Supreme Emperor?"

Zhang Junshou immediately showed a look of surprise, he was silent for a moment and gritted his teeth, "Your Majesty has something in the hands of the Supreme Emperor, and the Supreme Emperor will not blame the past, but he ordered the subordinate officials to guard the city gate and not allow the imperial doctor sent by His Majesty to come in. He wants His Majesty to break his promise. People, the lower officials have no choice but to obey orders, pretending not to have received the letter from the Prime Minister! I also hope that the General has a large number, so don’t blame other people.”

Lan Yun squinted at him, and her deep eyes were full of disdain, "Jun Zhang disregarded the safety of the people for his own selfishness? Can you see the tragic situation of those refugees outside the city today? Do you know how many people died because of your dereliction of duty?"

"Your official is ashamed, my official is really ashamed!" Jun Sheriff Zhang lowered his head in guilt, but now he has nothing to do.

Lan Yun snorted softly, "Perhaps this is retribution, and now the only son of Governor Zhang has also caught the plague, what are you going to do?"

Hearing this, Zhang Junshou immediately lifted his clothes and knelt down, and solemnly kowtowed his head, "General Lan, I know that I did something wrong, but my son is innocent. Save my son, save him!"

"You can save me!" Lanyun stared at the begging man on the ground with a cold face, "The county guard will now order the city gate to be opened to let the refugees in, and then make full preparations for the imperial doctor's arrival, and personally report to the doctor." Your Majesty apologizes!"

"Your Highness?" Jun Zhang, who was kneeling on the ground, raised his head in surprise, "Isn't Your Highness missing?"

Lan Yun looked at him sharply, "Your Highness is only fighting side by side with the people in the epidemic area, he will not abandon his people like the Supreme Emperor, and only the Great Concubine can save Young Master Ling!"

Zhang Junshou gritted his teeth, his eyes sank for a moment, his heart was already caught in an endless struggle, one side was the Supreme Emperor, and the other side was his own son, but Shijie was the only seedling of his Zhang family, if he was gone, I would be sorry for Lie Ancestors, even if you keep this official position, it is meaningless!
Sheriff Zhang seemed to have made up her mind. He looked up after a moment of silence, "Your official can open the city gate to let refugees in, but I'm afraid some of them may be infected, and they will definitely threaten the innocent people in the city. I hope General Lan thinks twice!"

Lan Yun's eyes moved lightly, even though the sheriff had made thousands of mistakes, what he said was right at this time, he was still thinking about the people in his own city, so it could be seen that he hadn't completely lost his conscience.He thought for a moment and said slowly, "Then send someone to deliver food and water for the past few days to the refugees outside the city, so that they can wait for the imperial doctor to arrive outside the city, and come in after confirming that they are healthy. What do you think?"

Zhang Junshou thought for a moment, the current situation is afraid that this is the only way to go!

"Okay! The officer will go down and make arrangements!"

Looking at the direction in which the man left resolutely, Lan Yun fell into deep thought.Zhang Junshou is just one of the people being manipulated. Does the Supreme Emperor really want to force these innocent people to death?With the lotus country being played with in applause like this, if he is really allowed to regain power, what will the future of the lotus country look like.

……

At this moment, the people outside the city gate were suffering, and the hunger and cold made their emotions more and more difficult to control. Many people cried, "Let us in, let us in quickly!"

But the guards above the city gate just watched coldly, not moving a muscle.

Not long after, another group of refugees rushed towards this side, but when they looked at the dark crowd in front of them, the refugees couldn't help but look at each other.

"What happened? Didn't you say that we can be taken here?"

"Hmph, I was cheated by that man!" At this moment, the angry middle-aged man in the crowd turned his head and shouted angrily, "We were cheated! That man is clearly a lackey of the imperial court! He tricked us into coming here , Maybe someone will come to slaughter us soon! The royal family of the Lian Kingdom is simply untrustworthy!"

The woman holding the child frowned when she heard the sound, and hesitated in her heart, but she always felt that the young man was a good person and would never do such a thing. There must be some reason, it must be!

She immediately walked forward with the child in her arms, and softly asked the refugees who arrived first, "Sister-in-law, is it true that you can't go in here?"

An old woman looked up at her with difficulty, and a weak voice came, "We have been waiting for many days, but they still won't open the gate of the city, they won't let us in, we are going to starve to death, we have nowhere to go, At a loss..."

The desperate voice startled the woman, how...how could this happen?
At this moment, the angry middle-aged man raised his arms and shouted, "Since they won't open the door, we'll rush in. If we retreat, we'll die anyway. It's better to fight than to wait for death for nothing! Come with me!" ! Let's rush in!"

For a moment, the refugees who were still begging bitterly responded angrily. They seemed to use their last strength to shout, "Rush in, rush in!"

In the blink of an eye, the refugee group immediately caused a riot. Everyone scrambled towards the city gate. The roar echoed in the sky. Some people tried to climb up the towering and strong city wall with bare hands. The scene was chaotic. This scene made the original guards on the city wall Panic quickly.

"Hurry up! Go and report to the sheriff, the refugees are rioting!" the leading guard yelled.

At this time, a fast horse came rushing from the city. It was the head of the guard next to the sheriff. He walked quickly to the city wall, looked at the angry refugees below, summoned up his inner strength and roared, like a drum in the evening and a bell in the morning. Don't be impatient! The governor has already issued an order. We will send out the rice and bedding supplies for the past few days. Please wait outside the city gate for the time being. The imperial medical team will arrive soon. Please be orderly when the time comes. Anyone who has no abnormalities can enter the city, and once an infected person is found, he will be treated by the imperial doctor, please cooperate!"

The refugees calmed down one after another, but the situation in the past few days made them completely unable to believe what the other party said.

"Liar, we have been here for so long, why are you saying now that you don't care about our life or death at all, you must have come to lie to us again!"

"Yes! They are just trying to appease us. What they say is better than what they sing. So many of us have died. You are just saying this now? It is clearly a lie!"

"Yes! Don't believe his words, they don't have a good person at all!"

The crowd who had calmed down just now became agitated again, even more excited than before.

Seeing this, the chief guard explained repeatedly, "Everyone, be quiet, be quiet! Things are not what everyone thinks. The county guard received a secret letter before, saying that spies had infiltrated the refugee group, so he dared not open the city gate. Now that the danger has been eliminated, the county guard Immediately order to admit everyone into the city, and definitely not ignoring everyone's life and death!"

"Nonsense, we don't believe it! All of you want us to die!"

It is difficult for the people who have suffered tremendous hardships to easily believe the words of the imperial court.

No matter how well the chief guard tried to persuade him, the situation of the riots continued to simmer, and it was out of control.

In the crowd, the woman holding the child looked at the scene in front of her, and couldn't help but think of the young man's words.She suddenly said loudly, "I believe it! I believe Master Bing's words! Well, the mistress is waiting outside, please give my child a bowl of rice! The mistress is willing to wait as long as she wants!"

In a word, like a stone thrown into the lake, it caused an uproar!

All the people around looked at her suspiciously, and many people fell silent. Is this woman crazy?

"Do you know what you're talking about?" The man beside him pushed her angrily, his eyes were red.

The woman tightly protected her child. Although she was terrified, she still insisted on her intuition, "I know what I'm talking about, don't I want to live? That young man is a good man, he is the one who guided us In this town, he said that His Majesty did not abandon us, he promised! I don’t ask for anything now, I only ask for my child to live, and I am willing to believe it again! I believe this time it must be true. "

The woman pushed away the people around her and sat down against the city wall. Her firm eyes soon moved the other refugees, and everyone lowered their raised fists, as if they were considering whether they should gamble or not. a handful.

Which of them has no family and children, and who doesn't want to live?Forcing the city gate is just a helpless move.But if there is hope...

The angry middle-aged man just now gradually calmed down, he frowned and hesitated, thinking back to the young man from before, he was indeed not like an ordinary person.It's just that the current situation is quite different from what the young master said, which is really hard for him to accept.

Everyone hesitated for a moment, and some people sat next to the woman one after another. In fact, no matter what actions they took, they just hoped that they could survive!

The chief guard on the city wall saw that this was an opportunity!He immediately ordered people to move out the rice and other supplies.

The soldiers carried rice grains on their backs, hung ropes and slid down from the city wall, distributing the grains for the past few days in an orderly manner.

Just in case, the chief guard acted very cautiously, but what was unexpected was that these refugees who had been hungry for a long time did not rob them, but sat quietly and patiently, waiting for their distribution.

Such an attitude reassured the nervous soldiers. At this moment, the city gate finally opened quietly.

Not long after, bedding, water, melons and fruits were sent out one after another. Seeing that the sheriff's promise was fulfilled, the refugees felt relieved. Although they couldn't enter the city now, their food and clothing were guaranteed, so they waited a little longer. Why wait?

On the side, the middle-aged man walked over a few people to the woman and sat down, and said thoughtfully, "Why does sister-in-law trust that strange man so much? How do you know that what the man said must be true?"

He just didn't understand why this woman chose to trust a stranger under such circumstances!

The woman caressed the child who had already fed and fell asleep, and the expression on her face was never satisfied, "That young master gave my child the first bite of food, just because of this, I am willing to choose to trust him! "
