Chapter 378 The moment of riot
It was just dawn, and many farmers who got up early to do business were already carrying loads or driving ox carts to wait to enter the city at the gate of Linxi Outer City. But seeing that the sky had turned white, the city gate had not been opened for a long time. The waiting crowd finally began to whisper. There were few such situations and they were all guessing what had happened.
The city gate guard stood on the second floor and looked down. A group of people lined up in a row, and some of them had even started to slap the city gate. If this continues, something must happen.
"What's the situation in the inner city now?" The leader of the guard asked the person who came to report the news. The person who reported the news shook his head: "Don't let go, there is a lot of chaos at the gates over there. Liao Jingzhao has brought dozens of people to suppress him, and the young man was still in chaos when he came back."
“It’s so serious?”
"Oh~ Twenty corpses are placed, and they look very cunning."
......
At that time, the inner city gate was not as strong as the stone walls of the outer city, with only a wooden door, and no second-floor high platform was erected. The wooden door was already shaking under the impact of an angry thug.
Liao Weizhang stood at the gate of the inner city, looking at the dandruff that was falling down, and felt a headache.
Shan Cha frowned, "I was fine yesterday, why did I suddenly riot today? There are less than a hundred people. I am afraid that the adults will report to the court immediately. If others drive them first, the adults will definitely suffer a loss."
Liao Weizhang sighed. He had already transferred fifty people to guard the inner city gate so as not to rush in to cause chaos in the inner city. But this stalemate is not a solution. If the inner city does not open, the outer city cannot open. You can't continue like this.
"Open the door, open the door, we want to meet the emperor, we want to seek justice..."
"You will pay my mother's life, you will pay these dozens or hundreds of lives..."
The refugees outside the door frantically hit the wooden door with their thin bodies. The originally tall wooden door seemed fragile in front of this huge force condensed by weak forces.
The people who originally lived in the outer city couldn't help but retreat when they saw this, for fear of harming themselves. Just refugees, hundreds of people flocked to the city gate.
Liao Weizhang knew the suffering of these people, not to mention that there were too many people, so he couldn't catch them even if he wanted to.
But if this anger spreads, the entire inner city will suffer. When things get worse, he will not be able to protect his official position, but he will be afraid that the head will be difficult to protect.
He rubbed his eyebrows that were vaguely ached. It was originally the day of court, but it was the third day of the day. After the morning court, he was told that something had happened before he could rest. Now, even if these people suppressed it, the matter would have to be reported to the court. As Shan Cha said, it would be fine if he took the initiative to apologize. If he was ginseng, he would be even more unable to excuse him.
"Everyone is quiet, be quiet first." Liao Weizhang stood in front and shouted with a loud voice, trying to appease the riots outside the door.
But his voice was instantly drowned in all kinds of insulting or wailing sounds.
"Crying creaking..." Shan Cha looked up and his face changed, "Be careful, sir..." As soon as he finished speaking, Liao Weizhang saw the wooden door getting closer and closer, and hurriedly took a few steps back.
"Boom..." Even though it was just a wooden door, its strength was extraordinary. However, this wooden door was easily knocked to the ground. Liao Weizhang couldn't help but cough when he saw the wooden door smashing down and raised the dust all over the ground, but he was even more frightened. If all these people were allowed to rush in, it would be over.
Without waiting for his order, the yamen runners holding spears stood in five rows in a row, filling the gaps in turn, blocking the way into the city.
But these refugees were as crazy as they were holding the bodies in front, rushing forward without hesitation, cursing and crying, and many children followed, which made the yamen runners holding weapons unable to help but retreat.
These people are either women and children, or old, weak and sick. They all look thin and unyielding, and seem to fall down and die at any time, but their steps without any comfort are so resolute that they make people feel chilled.
These are all refugees, and Liao Weizhang was also sad for them. He could not have really let the yamen runners hurt these suffering people.
After standing in the yamen runners, he shouted at the top of his voice: "You are all calm. The court has already had a solution. Everyone can farm by themselves immediately, wear clothes and food. If they have enough physical strength, they can also find a living. Just go to the yamen to register and they can be allocated."
"What solution? The court does not treat us as human beings at all. Do you think there are only these twenty corpses today? Is there countless corpses thrown in the ditch in the outer city? Has the court gone to take a look?"
A woman in the crowd retorted with a sharp voice, her tone full of resentment. As soon as she spoke, the voices of others gradually became smaller. The woman held a cradle in her arms and choked and said, "This child was less than two months old, but she passed away so early. It's just that this world is so miserable, it's better to go early, so as not to suffer." She said and cried again.
Another 17 or 8-year-old child cried, "My mother has been suffering from giving birth to me for a lifetime, but now she has gone there but she doesn't even have a coffin. You officials have to remove two or three hundred gold at a banquet. Two or three hundred gold is enough for the people here to eat and drink for several months. The court? Where is the court? What we see is a group of borers, eating the borers of the people."
"Yes, it's a borer, a borer that eats the flesh and blood of ordinary people."
The refugees began to shout collectively, and hundreds of people rushed forward almost in a swarm, and only fifty yamen runners could not stop them.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Shan Jian immediately said, "Sir, arrest the person first."
Liao Weizhang knew that he could no longer be soft-hearted, so he immediately ordered: "All people who gathered to cause trouble will be arrested and brought back to the yamen."
With the order, the yamen runners who were already a little worried became fierce, regardless of whether the spear in their hands had hurt people. They just grabbed people rudely and tied them up with ropes.
Seeing this, the refugees became more and more ignorant. Someone shouted: "When they go to the inner city, why do they eat and drink delicious food, but we are going to starve and die. We want to see the emperor. There is no way to live under the imperial city. There is no way to live in the world. There is no way to live in the world. If we die, we might as well fight with them."
"Yes, we are also human beings, and we also hope to survive, but the court does not give us a chance to survive, so what else can we be afraid of? Let's go into the inner city."
Gradually, the refugees who were not afraid of death, no matter how many stabs were stabbed on their bodies, ran to the inner city without any chance of death, and scattered when they saw the fork in the road.
Not only that, more refugees were pouring in the outer city, and at this time, many refugees who were out of control were heading towards the inner city streets.
