As the old saying goes, the shadow of a person's famous tree, when Xia Dayan, the governor of a province, appeared in front of everyone, the originally noisy crowd suddenly became silent, and even many people who were originally rushing to the front stopped after seeing this Xia Dayan, who was dressed in a scarlet official uniform, wearing a black gauze hat, and showing a majestic face, and some even knelt down on the spot.

No way, Huaxia has always been an official-based society, it has been like this for thousands of years, and the common people are born with a kind of awe from the bottom of their bones when facing officials, not to mention the Ming Dynasty in the feudal era, even in the 21st century, which is known as a democratic society.

Several staff members who followed behind Xia Dayan seemed to calm down as soon as Xia Dayan appeared, and after glancing at each other one by one, there was a hint of joy in their eyes, it seems that the situation is much better than expected. If that's the case, the chaos should be settled soon.

Looking at the black crowd in front of him and the awe-inspiring gaze that Qi Shushu looked at him, and then looked at the many people kneeling on the ground, Xia Dayan felt a fluttering feeling, and a huge sense of satisfaction arose, this may be a common disease of people, what can be more refreshing than receiving so many awe-inspiring eyes and seeing so many people kneeling down to him at the same time.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this official is Xia Dayan, the governor of Fujian, and today I heard that the market was suddenly suspended, and I was also deeply shocked after hearing it. I can assure you that I will discuss with the merchants in the city as soon as possible so that they can open their shops and resume business as soon as possible. ”

Xia Dayan has been an official for more than 20 years, and naturally has a strong official smell, this kind of taste You say it is the taste of the official master, or it is the official authority, it does exist, and the common people of China eat this set. After hearing Xia Dayan, who is the governor of Fujian, say this, many people began to hesitate, since even Lord Xia, who is the governor of a province, said this, there must be no problem.

After thinking of this, many people's original anxiety and anger have been alleviated, and the scene that was once out of control has also begun to ease.

It's just that the situation has eased, but some people have begun to get anxious, and a man with a somewhat obscene and thin appearance and a sparse beard under his chin shouted in the crowd: "Folks, being an official is the most deceitful, who knows if what he said is true:?" ”

After this voice finished speaking, another sharp voice responded: "Yes, maybe after he coaxes us home, tomorrow the government will close the city gate and prevent us from entering the city." You must know that many of us don't have much food and salt in our homes, if these officials ask us to wait for ten days and half a month, what our family eats and drinks, is it difficult to drink the northwest wind? ”

"That's right...... Maybe this is the official master's delaying tactic. Many people in the crowd also began to talk about it.

"It's these people again, it's these people again! Darn...... Bastard. Seeing that the emotions that had already eased were actually starting to be agitated again, many of the staff around Xia Dayan frowned, and Ma Guerrilla was even more angry and clenched the handle of the knife, causing the green tendons to be exposed due to too much force.

Xia Dayan frowned, stretched out his hand and beckoned Ma Guerrilla over and asked, "Can you find out the troublemakers in the crowd?" ”

"Lord Qiyu, the last general is also powerless, it's really those thieves mixed in the crowd, and the last general really can't tell the difference." The horse guerrilla was embarrassed.

"Alas......"

Xia Dayan snorted lightly, he also knew that those people with ill intentions were hiding in the crowd, and trying to find them was tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack, and his request was indeed difficult for some strong people.

Seeing that the emotions of the crowd were stirred up again, the crowd was overjoyed and shouted again: "Ladies and gentlemen, since the governor is here, let's ask the governor to give us a letter that it will take for the government to reopen the market." ”

"How can this official give you a letter?" Xia Dayan couldn't help frowning and said: "The official still has to convene the merchants to discuss before it can be decided, how can the official reply now?" You and a group of villains will only hide in the crowd to stir up trouble, do you dare to stand up and argue with the official on the spot? ”

"Hehe......" The sharp voice sounded again: "Isn't the governor joking, the villain is a flat-headed commoner, if you really want to stand up and confront the adult, I'm afraid it's one thing whether you can live to see the rising sun tomorrow." ”

"You ......"

Xia Dayan couldn't help but be angry, thinking that as the highest parent official of a province, how could anyone dare to talk to him like this, and what the other party said was not unreasonable, as the saying goes, it is good to break the county order to destroy the door of the mansion, not to mention the governor of such a feudal official, a flat-headed common man is really not much stronger than an ant for him.

In the same way, the people present naturally thought of it, and they couldn't help but talk about it for a while.

Seeing that Xia Dayan was speechless, the person in the crowd said a little proudly: "Lord Governor, the villain is just a flat-headed commoner, and he doesn't know or want to know about the affairs of officialdom, the villain just wants to know when the government can let the market reopen, as long as the governor can give a letter, the villain will turn around and leave, what do you think?" ”

"What a thief, how vicious!" Xia Dayan gritted his teeth loudly.

Xia Dayan has been up and down for so long, he naturally knows that don't look at this person's speech seems to be light, but in fact, the trap hidden in it is extremely vicious, if Xia Dayan easily gives the other party a deadline, if the market can't open on time, then his prestige as a governor will disappear in an instant, how can a person who can't even fulfill the promise he made in front of thousands of people have the face to serve as the governor of a province?

Besides, if you want the market to reopen, you will naturally have to deal with those maritime merchants. At that time, those maritime merchants will naturally offer some harsh conditions such as re-banning the sea to force Xia Dayan, and how dare Xia Dayan agree to such conditions?

"What a vicious man this thief is!" Not only Xia Dayan, but also those staff members whose brains were spinning fast were also amazed in their hearts. It's just amazement to amazement, and they are helpless in the face of such an almost unsolvable problem.

Seeing that Xia Dayan was speechless for a while, the voice became even more proud, and he immediately said loudly: "Folks, have you seen it?" The governor doesn't want to give us an answer at all, this matter is simply made up by the officials, they want to force us to death, everyone talk about it, what should we do? ”

The crowd was silent for a long time, and only after a long time did a deep voice say: "Fathers and fellow villagers, since the government won't let us live, we must not let them have a good time, so let's rush into the yamen, smash the yamen, and let them know how powerful we are!" ”

"Right...... Smash the yamen! ”

"Smash the yamen!"

People are blindly obedient, and most of the people have no time to think about the nature of smashing the yamen under the excitement of the crowd, even if there are sensible people who want to oppose it in this case, it will be useless, because at this time, most of the people have begun to rush towards the direction of the yamen where Xia Dayan is. The hundreds of officers and soldiers of the Fubiao Battalion who served as guards in front of the yamen were also like a thin embankment, which would be swallowed up by the stormy waves at any time.

"Dong Weng, the big thing is not good, you better hurry back to the yamen!" Seeing that things were not good, several staff members hurriedly grabbed Xia Dayan's arm and wanted to pull him into the yamen.

"Back to the Yamen? Where can the official hide? Xia Dayan knew very well in his heart that even if he hid in the yamen, when those excited people rushed into the yamen, those people who had lost their minds would not let him go, rather than die in the inner courtyard at that time, it was better to die at the yamen on the spot, at least in this way, he could still be in the court.

Seeing that the people were getting more and more excited, they led the officers and soldiers to form a human wall and ran to Xia Dayan with their horse guerrillas, and shouted with a crying voice: "My lord, the last general really can't stop it, you better leave quickly!" ”

"This official can't leave." At this time, Xia Dayan saw it openly, "Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there has never been a governor who died in front of the door, so let Benfu be the first!" ”

"Your Excellency!" Ma Guerrilla was so anxious that his eyes were red, but he couldn't do anything about it.

On the second floor of a wine shop a few hundred steps away from the governor's yamen, two pairs of eyes were staring closely at what was happening in front of the governor's yamen.

Seeing Xia Dayan, who seemed to be surrounded by stormy waves, a slightly young voice said: "Xia Dayan is still very capable, how good it would be if he could be used by us!" ”

A cold voice rang out: "Guy who doesn't know how to lift, since he can't speak and do things for us, then there is no need for him to stay, let him leave with a good reputation." ”

In these two voices, most of the officers and soldiers of the Fubiao battalion led by Ma Guerrilla had been dispersed, leaving only him and dozens of officers and soldiers still tightly surrounding Xia Dayan, seeing that they were about to be swallowed up by the torrent of crowds that came in.

"Bang ......"

At this moment, a crisp sound of fire suddenly sounded.

The crowd that had been agitated all froze for a moment as if they had been hit by a spell, and then people turned their heads to look at the place where the fire was sounding, and in the eyes of the people, a group of sergeants in iron armor appeared in front of them......
