A few days ago, Yang Zhen realized that those Mengren meticulous work was not as simple as he thought. On the surface, they don't communicate with each other, but obviously, there must be some way to screw these people together, otherwise if they fight separately, a plate of scattered spies will not pose much of a threat at all.

So after some torture and investigation, Yang Zhen finally found a clue - although these people have no connection with each other, they all have close ties to one place, that is, the largest grain store in the city - Hao's Grain and Oil Store.

And at this time, the price of food in Datong City began to rise rapidly, and Yang Zhen faintly guessed the true intentions of those meticulous works, which was to force the people to make trouble! And it is obvious that the other party dares to do this after these new works of entering the city are taken by themselves, which only shows that the Mongolian spies still have other available manpower. Even, these meticulous works taken by themselves are just temptations to hide people's ears, and the people who really want to do things are the people who have long been hidden in Datong City.

Once such an inference was made, Yang Zhen was shocked into a cold sweat. Fortunately, I thought about it a little more, otherwise if I really followed their way, it would be irreparable.

So just last night, Jinyiwei raided Hao's grain and oil store at night and controlled everyone in it. And under some torture, a complete plan was taken out of their mouths. But by this time, the sky had already dawned, and soon after, there was a disturbance that had arisen before.

In such a situation, if the Jinyi Guards also went with those officers and soldiers or messengers to stop the actions of the people, I am afraid that it would be only a drop in the bucket - although the Qincha Guards numbered in the thousands, the riot of the people with the army would only make things worse.

Fortunately, under the coercion of Jinyiwei, the boss of the Hao family's grain and oil store pointed out those who were constantly fanning the flames in the crowd, instructing the people to attack the major grain stores, and finally even instigated everyone to attack the city gate. And after he identified the people, he sent people to blend into the crowd, and at the same time shot to subdue these-stirring sticks.

Lu Qing was taken down, and his conspiracy was broken, and his heart was also flustered, and his face turned pale. He only felt a burst of chagrin, seeing that the plan was about to be completed, but he didn't expect such guys to run out and mess up the situation. But after all, he had been through a lot of storms, so he quickly called out to Qu Lai: "Guys, I really don't know what they're talking about. It's just out of anger that I'm calling on everyone to do this...... It must be the government that wants to deal with us, so they use such tricks to break through, don't believe their nonsense! ”

Yang Zhen heard him say such things at this time, and suddenly a heavy murderous intent appeared on his face. But as his eyes fell on the faces of the surrounding people, he saw that they actually believed Lu Qing's words a little, and after showing suspicion about himself and Jinyiwei's people, the movements of his hands were slowed down, and he temporarily suppressed the intention of killing.

At this time, several other people in the crowd who were held by Jinyi Wei also shouted: "We are all old people in Datong City, how can we be Tartars' spies?" This lord clearly wants to add to the sin. Lao Wang, you and I haven't known each other for less than three years, do you think I'm a fine worker? But he found a friend and immediately called out.

When the old king was still a little hesitant, several other people also followed suit, and called Qu Lai to the familiar people around him: "Brother Zilin, you and I are also old friends, I have always been law-abiding, and I have never even been angry with others, how can it be a meticulous work?" You'll have to bear witness for me! ”

"Brother Zhao, you were short of silver last year or I borrowed it from you, you can't see death without saving, how ......can you take revenge?"

…… These guys reacted very quickly, and immediately begged for love with people one by one, and these people did have some friendship with them, and they didn't know the details, and suddenly some people really had doubts about Yang Zhen and others, and shouted one after another: "This is obviously an excuse used by the government to prevaricate us, and we must not fall for the trick......"

Seeing that the situation is about to get out of control again, many people in Jinyi have already shown murderous intentions. Those officers and soldiers had also raised their swords and guns, and they were obviously more willing to believe what Yang Zhen said.

Yang Zhen was also full of anger in his heart for these stupid people who were being used, if it weren't for the situation, he would have hated to take down these people and teach them a good lesson. But now, he could only suppress his anger for the time being, and continued: "Everyone, the tattoos on their bodies were not planted by my Jinyi Guard, isn't that enough? Although many of you have a relationship with these guys, that only means that they have already infiltrated my Datong City, but it does not prove that they have been wronged. On the contrary, this shows the scheming of these thieves. ”

After a pause, he was afraid that these people would still not believe him, so he came up with another point: "If you still don't believe it, you can send a few prestigious people to the city to see what is going on." If what I said is correct, there is already an ambush of the Mongol army outside the south gate at this moment! ”

This last sentence was finally recognized by many people, and some people agreed loudly: "Okay, let's go to the people to see what is going on, if there is indeed a Mongolian army outside the city, it means that you have not wronged them." ”

Yang Zhen nodded with satisfaction, and then put his hand on the old Wang, Brother Zilin, and Brother Zhao who were called out by Lu Qing and them just now, since you have some friendship with them, let you go and see what is going on.

In this case, even Lu Qing and the others are not easy to object, and the people have no objections. So, soon, these people went straight to the city under the escort of the brocade guards and officers and soldiers. Yang Zhen and the others stayed where they were, waiting for the final answer to be revealed.

After waiting for a while, the people turned pale and turned around with some trembling. As soon as they saw Yang Zhen, they immediately knelt down and admitted their mistake: "The grass people know their guilt, and the grass people are also confused for a while, so they were deceived by these people, and I hope that the adults will ......be gracious."

When the other people heard what they said, they were stunned. Then, he also knelt down in a hula. Obviously, they had already believed Yang Zhen's words and knew that there was only one way out of the city.

"Governor Zhou......" Seeing this, Yang Zhen finally breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and beckoned to Zhou Zechuan not far ahead. He had already seen the governor of Datong just now, but the situation was tense and he had no time to take care of it. But now, the situation is settled, and the matter of appeasing people's hearts naturally has to be handed over to the governor to deal with.

Zhou Zechuan heard Yang Zhen greet him, and then he came back to his senses from shock. Yang Zhen's eloquence and reaction really made him admire, but at the same time, he also felt a little uncomfortable. After all, he is the person with the highest official position in Datong City today, but after such a thing happens, he can only watch from the sidelines, so what will others think of him in the future, and what will the court think when he finds out?

But at this time, Yang Zhen suddenly gave himself such a chance to perform, which made Zhou Zechuan happy and his good impression of Yang Zhen increased. After a little reluctance, he hurried over and said to the people: "Fathers and elders, now that my Datong is suffering from foreign enemies, I hope that everyone will focus on the overall situation and don't make another incident." Otherwise, it will only make the Tartars cheaper.

"As for today's affairs, everything is instigated by the conspiracy of these thieves, you are just confused for a while, this official promises, as long as you disperse now, the government will not pursue it afterwards!"

Seeing the dignified governor speak like this, the people finally breathed a sigh of relief. After a moment's hesitation, someone quietly walked back. In a blink of an eye, all the people were dispersed, and a catastrophe was finally eliminated.

Seeing this, Yang Zhen completely calmed down and let out a long sigh of relief. While Zhou Zechuan was relaxed, he hurriedly ran to him, and said again and again: "Thanks to Yang Dudu, you can make a timely move, otherwise Xiaguan and this Datong City will be completely finished!" Please also ask the adults to bow to Zhou Zechuan. He bowed solemnly.

Yang Zhen hurriedly stepped forward and held it up: "Governor Zhou is serious, there is no need to be polite." Since this official is the imperial court, he should be the imperial court and do what he can for the people. What's more, I am also in Datong, and once something goes wrong, I can't escape the involvement, so I should do my best. ”

After a pause, he waved his hand and ordered someone to take Lu Qing and the others back to Xingyuan for disposal, and said with a solemn expression: "Zhou Futai, although this imminent crisis has been resolved, the Tartars outside the city are still eyeing them there. Especially the Tartars outside the south gate, if they find that our defenses are insufficient, they may steal them at night. ”

As soon as he heard this, Zhou Zechuan couldn't help but snort: "This ...... But how? ”

That's what Yang Zhen wanted, and then said: "Today's plan, the only way to do it is to strike first." ”

"First strike?" Zhou Zechuan was stunned for a moment, and then made a sudden attack: "Now that the soldiers and horses in my city are all led by the Tartars in the northern city, how can I go out of the city to fight with them?" ”

"Well, I have my own countermeasures." Yang Zhen smiled heavily.

At this moment, the head of the northern city is already raging.

Countless bows and arrows rained down from above and below the city, ladders had been reached to the top of the city, and countless Mongolian soldiers rushed straight up like ants, although people were constantly knocked down and smashed into a ball of flesh, but it did not delay their footsteps.

And although Tuta under the city stared at the attack and defense of the city for a moment, his heart fell to another place: "I don't know what the situation in the south is, those people should have completely messed up Datong City, as long as they can succeed and open the south gate, then this Ming First Military Town should be our world today!" ”
