"This beast!"

Fang Shuo's face was livid, and although Zhu Nian seemed calm, his hands were clenched and his legs were trembling, not because of fear, but because he was extremely angry.

People in Dengzhou are having trouble living, who is to blame?

Of course they were Dengzhou officials.

Yang Xuan was here as an imperial envoy, and his evaluation of the officials in Dengzhou would become the basis for the court and the central government to deal with the matter afterwards.

In a word, Dengzhou officials, please wish yourself good luck!

The officials were furious, but the people were rejoicing.

"Deputy Ambassador Yang is wise!"

Someone burst into tears and said, "Well said!"

Yang Xuan saw the mood of the people and felt sad in his heart.

These people are the best people. As long as they are given a way to survive, they will not make trouble and will cooperate fully.

"I saw people starving!" Yang Xuan said: "When a person is faced with the two paths of starvation and rebellion, many people will choose to starve to death, but some will choose to rebel."

Everyone was silent, and the warmth of being understood brought tears to many people's eyes.

"The government forces the people to rebel, and the people have no choice but to rebel!"

boom!

These words immediately detonated the city.

Some officials were angry, some were aggrieved, and some were dull...

Under the impact of various emotions, someone hissed: "I will do my duty faithfully!"

Zhu Nian could no longer maintain his composure, he said solemnly: "I have a clear conscience!"

Yang Xuan did not look back, "The people of Dengzhou are suffering from hunger. They pay taxes, they serve Dengzhou, they serve the officials, they have fulfilled their duties, and they are called loyal to their duties."

And what have you done? Dengzhou’s taxes have been increasing year by year in the past three years.

I wish you have been in the top grades in the Ministry of Civil Affairs’ examinations for the past three years. What did you pay for these top grades?"

Yang Xuan pointed at the people, "It was obtained with the blood and sweat of the people and the cries of the people. Happy New Year, you took those awards and dreamed back at midnight, and you were not afraid? Aren't you afraid of the innocent souls of the people who come to claim your life?"

Zhu Nian sneered, "I cannot agree with what Deputy Envoy Yang said. What happens to the subordinate officials should be decided by the court. In addition, Deputy Envoy Yang mobilizes troops privately, so the subordinate officials must go up to the court to make a decision."

Since Yang Xuan had torn everyone's face, Zhu Nian also fell out in order to protect himself.

When Shangshu and Zhaozhong impeached Yang Xuan, he was trying to rescue him.

The emperor, the head of state... these enemies would feel like they had found a treasure, analyze it carefully, and then use the information he gave them to pull Yang Xuan down.

Fang Shuo looked at his boss and praised: "What a good idea!"

"Lu Er is here."

A sergeant screamed.

Yang Xuan shook his head, "Calm down!"

A general shouted towards the city, "Close the city gate!"

"No need!" Yang Xuan said and turned around.

In the distance, thousands of people can be seen slowly approaching.

Next to him, Zhang Xu whispered: "The clothes are in tatters, and the weapons are in a mess. Most of them are kitchen knives, hatchets, and sharpened wooden sticks... There is no armor."

This is a group of beggars.

But it made everyone in Dengzhou panic and uneasy.

The general hurried over and saluted, "Deputy Envoy Yang, why don't you close the city gate?"

"Why do you want to close the city gate?" Yang Xuan asked.

The general looked fearful and said, "Lu Er's group is brutal."

"My subordinates are even more cruel!"

The general was shocked.

Yang Xuan put his hands on the city wall with a calm expression and looked at the rioters.

The distance is getting closer.

After more than a hundred steps, the mob stopped.

There was total silence.

"It's interesting." Han Ji smiled and said, "This Lu Er can actually train a group of farmers who were still farming a while ago to look like this. It's impressive."

Yang Xuan said: "In troubled times, heroes emerge."

Countless histories have proven that the people are reckless.

"When the Chen Kingdom fell, how desolate was the world? Those farmers, those merchants, those craftsmen, who took up weapons and climbed high to shout, became heroes."

Yang Xuan concluded: "The times create heroes, that's all."

If there is peace in the world, those who should cultivate the land and do business will remain ordinary people until they die.

A tall man rode over.

He looks quite rough, with a messy beard, and a pair of huge eyes that look more majestic...

"This Lu Er used to be known for his honesty." Han Ji said softly.

"Honestly, many times it's just because there aren't enough temptations." Yang Xuan's expression turned cold.

"I want justice!"

Lu Er's loud voice echoed across the city.

"The little official who killed my Aye, Wang San! I want his head!"

Yang Xuan turned around and locked eyes with Zhu Nian, "You are very good!"

Zhu Nian shouted: "Fire the arrow and kill the traitor!"

Yang Xuan snorted coldly.

The shadow of the gun danced, and Tu Shang jumped onto the battlement, flying past.

The sight of a gun flashed before the eyes of more than ten soldiers who were raising their bows. They felt their hands light up, and when they looked carefully, they saw that the bow string was broken.

Tu Shang put the gun behind him and turned around to look outside the city.

Lao Tu, insist on getting it!

Yang Xuan asked: "Where is Wang San?"

At the top of the city, most officials' eyes flickered.

Officialdom is like a sauce jar. When the sauce jar is full of muddy water, the possibility of you wanting to be alone is very slim. Those people will drag you into the water, and if you refuse, you will be marginalized and excluded from then on.

No one?

Yang Xuan was a little disappointed... Even if it is a sauce vat, there should be someone who can stand out from the filth!

An official's face turned red. He hesitated several times and said, "Wang San is hiding."

Yang Xuan pointed at the official, "I'll protect you!"

The official burst into tears and said: "I also want to be a good person, but...but...in this world, a good person cannot live!"

Yang Xuan pointed at him, "Find Wang San!"

I wish you a happy new year and winked at a small official.

Wang Laoer said: "Why are you winking at him?"

The second brother has good eyesight... Yang Xuan said: "People at the top of the city are not allowed to leave without permission."

alright!

Yang Xuan saw that many officials looked pale, as if they were mourning for their heirs.

"There must be an explanation, otherwise, Ye Ye will attack the city!"

Lu Er looked at the opened city gate with greed in his eyes.

There are a lot of supplies in Dingdong City, including money, food, grass and weapons. There are also many people who are dissatisfied with the government. As long as he raises a big banner, he can mobilize a powerful force.

At that time, we might as well have ambitions beyond Dengzhou... If we capture a few more states, will we be able to have an army of 100,000?

The Northern Xinjiang Army only has more than 100,000 soldiers.

this……

At the top of the city, Yang Xuan said: "I'm going!"

"Mr. Lang!" Han Ji said, "Bring more guards."
