Chapter 72 The Great Conflict
As time goes by, the hungry people gathered one after another in the city gates, and Fang Mo also dispatched people to control the scene early. At the south gate, Lu Qi was still in opposition to the hungry people, and informed that the guards were in Sikong Mansion. Cheng Changtai was furious when he heard that there were hungry people rushing into the city, "It's a rebellion! Who gave them such a courage!"
The guards were silent and did not dare to answer.
Cheng Changtai thought for a moment and said to the guard, "Go and tell Captain Lu that he should not let the hungry people enter the city, be sure to calm the hungry people's emotions. When I enter the palace, I have seen the King of Bei making a fool of myself."
"Yes" the guard took the order and left.
The guard told Lu Qi that Cheng Changtai was still moving, sootheing the hungry people? How should people calm their emotions when they are hungry? Another meaning of Cheng Changtai's words is to waste with the hungry people and see who has consumed more than whom.
Cheng Changtai went to see the King of Northern. Lu Qi knew that there would be no good way to solve this problem unless the warehouse was opened and grain was released. The current situation was that the city defense army would not be full. How could the King of Northern opened the warehouse to provide relief to the hungry people? Today's riots were inevitable. Lu Qi could already foresee the results.
No one can resist the waste. A big man came out of the hungry people and shouted at Lu Qiyao, "The grain store in the city is released! Why don't you let us in!"
Someone started to speak out and the rest of the hungry people immediately started to feel excited and shouted, "Yes, why don't you let us enter the city!"
Among them, some hungry people shouted loudly, "Does the King of Northern want us to starve to death!"
Someone knocked this on the King of Bei's head, and Lu Qi frowned and aroused public anger. How could the position of captain be kept? Lu Qi was angry but could not hit someone first. As soon as he appeared, he would definitely not be able to control his position.
Lu Qi tried to make a reason with the hungry people, and it was also a warning. Lu Qi loudly said to the previous man, "Don't let the grain? Who told you that the grain store in the city will release grain? If you don't have this, go back. You are randomly inciting people's hearts and asking you."
At this time, some hungry people who were sitting on the ground or squatting under the shadows to avoid heat stood up one after another to gather towards the big man. Seeing the support of others, the big man walked forward a few steps as he strengthened his spirit, and the hungry people followed him a few steps behind him.
Although it is just a few steps, the hungry people move like a surging wave pushing towards the city gate. Some guards who are closer to the hungry people look at the wrong situation and look back in their hearts.
Lu Qi stared at the hungry people and shouted, "Stop it all! What do you want to rebel?"
The leading man seemed extremely excited and said loudly, "We are not trying to rebel but just want to go to the city to get food!"
The remaining hungry people were clamoring for the same momentum, shouting, "Get into the city to get grain, go to the city to get grain!"
Hua Ning looked at the hungry people and looked like he was coming to ask for life. He was uneasy in Lu Qi's ear and said softly, "I think they are going to cause trouble."
In addition, the guard also whispered to Lu Qi, "Captain, why not arrest the person who leads the troublemaker."
Arrest will only add fuel to the fire. How could Lu Qi do such a thing? He said that there are so many hungry people behind the leader and causing trouble, so it is not easy to arrest people.
Lu Qi lowered his face, and this face looked lifeless. The hungry people kept approaching and could not get along with them. There was only one way at present. Lu Qi shouted loudly and ordered "Close the door!"

The situation of each city gate is similar to that of the south gate. The situation of the city gate is in chaos. Now the city is still as usual. Those who open shops and make business, vendors hawk in the streets, and the little yellow dog is lazily lying under the wall, sticking his tongue out, and breathing.
Today, Cheng Ruoyuan made a summer heat-relieving soup. She had just been sent to Cheng Changtai's study and didn't see anyone. Cheng Ruoyuan withdrew and went to Xu Zong's house.
Seeing Cheng Ruoyuan coming, Xu Zong quickly stood up and greeted him, "Why are you here, Miss?"
Cheng Ruoyuan took out a bowl of summer heat-relieving soup from the box and put it on the table and smiled and said, "Sum heat-relieving soup, drink a bowl to remove dampness and heat."
Xu Zongshu smiled heartily, "Just let the servants send it, why bother to come?"
Cheng Ruoyuan still smiled slightly, "Uncle Xu is also an old man in the family, it's okay. By the way, what about dad, I just went to the study and didn't see anyone."
Xu Zongwen glanced at Cheng Ruoyuan and said, "Master, I've gone into the palace."
Cheng Ruoyuan said in surprise, "Isn't this just scattered, why did you enter the palace again?"
Xu Zong glanced at Cheng Ruoyuan and said, "What? Is there anything wrong with looking for the master?"
Cheng Ruoyuan said, "It's okay, I'm sending soup to my dad. Forget it when I enter the palace. Uncle Xu, please stop me and go to the Beiguan."
Xu Zong said, "Send soup to the young master?"
Cheng Ruoyuan nodded and said, "Yes, I have to go and ask the servants to send him to him, but he won't drink it."
Xu Zong stood up and greeted Cheng Ruoyuan.

Fang Mo asked the guard at Tongren's Sect, "Why did so many hungry people suddenly come?"
The guard also couldn't understand the situation and said, "It was said that the grain shop in the city was putting grain, so many people came at once."
Fang Mo sneered, "These people are so hungry. How could those grain merchants be so kind? A few days ago, the Grand Tutor was willing to sell some grain at a low price. Control the order. If someone dared to take another step, they would arrest me."
“Yes, commander”
Fang Mo is decisive and decisive in his work, and Lu Qi is not the same as Lu Qi. After all, he has a low position. Fang Mo is the deputy commander and can decide on some things by himself.
Guard said, "The low-ranking officials will control the order well, and the commander does not have to be tired here. When the situation stabilizes, the commander will be informed."
Fang Mo knew the guards were kind-hearted and said, "I can't sleep even if I go back to the hall when it's hot." Fang Mo pointed to the tea stall not far away and said, "I'll go have a tea, I'm looking for me if I have something to do."

As soon as Lu Qi closed the gate, the guards retreated into the gate one after another. When the hungry people saw that the guards had blocked half of the city gate, as if the entire city gate was blocked, how could they enter the city? The leader shouted angrily and exclaimed, "They are eating delicious food in the city but they are hungry. This is still the truth! Let's rush in!"
The hungry people howled angrily and rushed towards the city gate. The remaining half of the city gate was only one person short of the seat to be closed. How could the hungry people give the guards a chance? Ten guards pushed the door out desperately, and the hungry people outside squeezed in with their shoulders and hands.
The guard struggled but still couldn't hold on. The door was gradually pushed wider. Seeing that the hungry people were crazy, Lu Qi had to snatch the guard's spear and turn the spear head upside down as a stick to push it out from the crack of the door and hit the hungry people.
Seeing that Lu Qi followed suit, Lu Qi still had room for action. The other guards saw that the hungry people were so fierce that they would not let them in. Each of them had their own differences in their attacks.
During the conflict between the two sides, many hungry people made the guards beat their heads and blood.
The blood hungry people seemed even more crazy at first sight.
When Mu Xuexing saw the riots in the teahouse, he seemed unbearable, but he had to choose to turn a blind eye to the major events.
The hungry people were caused by Zhang Guirong's false news. Seeing that the hungry people were beaten to death, they were so worried that they could only stand up with a pale face. Mu Xuexing didn't want to watch it here, and he still had something to do.
Mu Xue walked on the verge of "Brother Zhang comes with me, we have something to do"
Zhang Guirong looked at Mu Xue in surprise and said, "What else should I do?"
Mu Xuexing didn't hide it from him and said, "Let Brother Zhang attract hungry people, the purpose is to find an opportunity to enter the Nanguan."
Zhang Guirong was shocked and said, "Enter the South Pavilion!"
Mu Xuexing had no time to talk to Zhang Guirong, and led Zhang Guirong out of the teahouse to the south hall.
