The end of the world begins with the king

Chapter 861 Are you going to throw the blame on me?
"My lord, what should I do!"

In the back hall of the governor's office, Zhao Yaoyin's expression was full of anxiety, and he was reporting the situation to Xie Xiaofang.

In fact, Zhao Yaoyin didn't need to report, the noise from outside had already entered the governor's office, Xie Xiaofang could hear it very clearly.

Things have come to this point after all, Xie Xiaofang has prepared for the worst.

"They have hundreds of people, and maybe more people will come in the future. I'm afraid it's not enough for Chasi's servants!"

"The Jiangxi capital must send troops to catch all these people!"

Hearing Xie Xiaofang's words, both Ding Yan and Zhao Yaoyin were shocked. Could it be that they really want to do something to these people?

You know, even when Xie Xiaofang was ordered to handle the case last year, he adopted the method of dividing and attacking, and never stood on the opposite side of everyone.

"My lord, if all these people are arrested, I'm afraid there will be a big mess!"

This is really not just worrying about it, because these families are involved in a wide range of people, and they can affect many people in series, and it is possible to cause a rebellion at that time.

"So you mean, you should make concessions to them?"

Concession to the gentry, even if Ding Yan has no political mind, he knows that this is an insurmountable political red line.

Maybe if he expresses this attitude today, he will become a prisoner before tomorrow, even if he is an old man from Yongwang's mansion.

"Ge Lao, I have absolutely no intention of such a humble job!"

"Then what do you mean?" Xie Xiaofang asked coldly.

"Elder Ge, I feel that there is still room for things to turn around, I beg Elder Ge to give them another chance!"

Speaking of this, Ding Yan raised his head and said: "Bei Zhi is willing to go to the inspector and advise them all to leave!"

This sentence meant that Ding Yan wanted to do something practical, which made Xie Xiaofang less angry.

Until the last moment, he was unwilling to attack the gentry, because the outcome was beyond his control.

"Both of you go, try your best to persuade them not to be enemies of the imperial court!"

"As ordered!"

After the two of them left, Xie Xiaofang was still deep in thought in the room.

At this moment, he has completely disregarded the fame of his life and death, and only wants to do his errands well.

It was because the emperor had promised that as long as he completed the task safely, he would be able to land safely.

"Ding Yan's persuasion may not be effective, I have to be fully prepared!"

"If you want to arrest people and control the situation in the city, you have to use the army. You have to ask the emperor for instructions!"

Thinking of this, Xie Xiaofang sighed again, and murmured: "Let's wait a little longer and see the result of Ding Yan's persuasion!"

Still the same sentence, until the last moment, Xie Xiaofang couldn't really make up his mind.

Besides, outside the inspector's yamen, Ding Yan and his two went out of the yamen gate, only to hear the sound of verbal criticism and pen criticism.

"Everyone... Be quiet... Be quiet!"

"The case has its own judgment, you leave quickly, don't make a big mistake!"

"You are all sensible people, don't you know the stakes?"

Ding Yan and the two kept shouting, but unfortunately their voices were so low that it was useless at this moment.

On the contrary, the two of them were greeted by their ancestors for eighteen generations amidst the crowd's shouting and cursing.

Ding Yan's face was livid, and just when he couldn't help but yell, he heard yelling from a distance.

"Officer dog, go to hell..."

At this time, a guard from behind exclaimed: "My lord, be careful!"

Then Ding Yan was thrown down, and then he heard a whistling sound coming from his ears, and he didn't know who threw a stone over.

The stone was the size of a fist, with sharp edges on it, and if it was smashed to death, it would have to peel off layers of skin.

"Kill the dog officer..."

I don't know who shouted this sentence again, and then more stones flew out of the crowd, obviously someone among them wanted to muddy the water.

This time, Ding Yan was still lucky and escaped all the stones, but Zhao Yaoyin was fired.

In the chaos, Ding Yan supported Zhao Yaoyin and fled back to the yamen, and the guards followed suit, and then closed the door of the yamen.

"Kill the dog officer..."

"Kill the dog officer..."

Seven or eight hundred people had gathered at the scene, and at this moment, it had become chaotic under the deliberate instigation of interested people.

Those who are more sober know that they cannot stay here for long, otherwise they will inevitably be involved in a major treason case.

They came here to petition for benefits, not to rebel and seek death.

But under the scheming of people with ulterior motives, these top dignitaries have nowhere to go if they want to get out.

Under the impact of the chaotic crowd, Zhou Yixian separated from his followers, and when he was in a panic, a fist-sized stone hit the back of his head.

Then, Zhou Yixian died for no apparent reason, and there were other people who had the same experience as him.

"The government killed people...the government killed people..."

"The government wants to kill us all, so run for your life!"

As a result, the scene became even more chaotic, and the dignitaries ran away anxiously, fearing that they would also be poisoned.

At this time, under the impact of the chaotic phenomenon, most people on the scene lost their ability to think, which made the situation change even more.

And this kind of change can't be discerned just by looking at the surface, so it is easy to misjudgment.

Seeing that Zhao Yaoyin was unconscious, Xie Xiaofang had no choice but to dial the phone number in Beijing, and now he is ready to arrest him.

beep...

"What's the matter?"

"Thank you Xiaofang, I have something urgent to present to the emperor!" Xie Xiaofang said solemnly.

The opposite replied: "The emperor is convening a court meeting to discuss the Xiongnu's peace!"

Xie Xiaofang added: "Quickly report to the emperor that the Tianmu case is out of control, the gentry besieged the government, and Jing'an City is in chaos, I implore the emperor to send troops to quell the chaos!"

"Yes!"

Hearing Xie Xiaofang's words, Ding Yan, who was still in fear, knew that the nature of this incident had changed.

After hanging up the phone, Xie Xiaofang looked at Ding Yan and said: "Immediately summon all the officials of the government office and ask them to guard the various places in the government office to prevent anyone from entering the office!"

"Attacking the government office is tantamount to conspiring against them. How bold are they?" Ding Yan was a little surprised.

Attacking the prison head-on was different from attacking behind the scenes. He felt that no one had the guts to do so.

"Don't you understand? This is someone trying to muddy the water. If the water is muddy, do you still know who attacked the government?"

Seeing Ding Yan's pensive expression, Xie Xiaofang couldn't help scolding: "Go!"

"Be sure to hold on to the guards, and tell them that if they don't guard, they will only die!"

"Yes!"

Seeing the seriousness of the matter, Ding Yanna dared to waste time, and left immediately after answering.

It was unexpected by Xie Xiaofang, but it was also reasonable for the sudden change of the matter.

Last year, there was a big case in the south, and the tax was raised at the beginning of the year, and then another big case was raised, followed by an investigation of the acres of land, and then the heaviest tax was levied...

One after another, they are infringing on the interests of all the gentry, and it is reasonable for them to finally explode.

This field mu case is just a fuse, igniting the powder keg of the gentry.

Looking back carefully, the Tianmu case has dragged on for nearly 28 days from April 20 to now. Is there someone who has been secretly active in this?

The gentry are not idiots, and this "revolt" must have been well prepared. In this way... Will there be turmoil in prefectures and counties other than Jing'an?

Thinking of this, Xie Xiaofang shuddered!

…………

In the capital, in the main hall of Qian'an Palace, Zhao Yanxun received a note with a message from Xie Xiaofang written on it.

Seeing the emperor's angry expression, all the civil and military officials present lowered their heads, not caring to look at Zhao Yanxun.

Kneading the note into a ball, Zhao Yanxun slapped the table and cursed: "Are these bastards going to throw the blame on me?"
