Pang Yukun's anger made the atmosphere in the Dengzhou Mansion a little depressing. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Yang Chengye said: "Xiaguan, Xiaguan is also in a hurry, and Xiaguan also has evidence that these people are harboring salt dealers. ”

Hearing this, Xiao Ming said: "The law does not blame the public, if it is dealt with so recklessly, I am afraid that there will be chaos among the people, and it will ...... when the time comes."

Before his words fell, suddenly a catcher ran in in a panic and shouted: "Fang Tingshi, it's not good, a large number of people gathered in front of the Dengzhou prison to make a scene, and they want to rush into the cell to ask for someone." ”

"What!" Yang Chengye was taken aback, he looked at Xiao Ming, this was really the fulfillment of Xiao Ming's words.

Pang Yukun pointed at Yang Chengye and said with hatred: "You, you, you've made a big disaster." ”

Frowning, Xiao Ming stood up and said, "Don't kneel, let's go and see what's going on." ”

After coming to this world to live for more than a year, Xiao Ming also has some understanding of this era, the people are very obedient, but this obedience is only based on letting the people have a way to live, and it will not harm their interests.

Violating these two articles, the government will understand the fierceness of the people, although Xiao Ming has issued a lot of decrees during this time, but because of local operation problems, there have been some incidents of people gathering to make trouble.

When the group arrived at the prison, they saw thousands of people gathered together, and some people were pushing and shoving with the arrester, and they had the posture of rushing in to save people.

There were 500 cavalry following Xiao Ming this time, and they immediately rushed over at this time.

Hearing the rumbling hooves of the horses, seeing the cavalry in silver armor appear, these people immediately took a few steps back, and their voices were quieter, but they turned their eyes to Xiao Ming and the others who were on the horse.

Yang Chengye got off the horse first, he looked at the people blocking the door of the prison and said: "Bold, who instructed you to make a big fuss in the Dengzhou Prison, do you want to rebel?" ”

At this time, Yang Chengye's heart was bright, the villagers of Yutai Village were arrested, and now that so many people have come out to ask for people, someone must have secretly made money to let these people come to strengthen their momentum.

"Your government officials arrest people indiscriminately and don't give us a way to live, is there still a royal law in this world?", a citizen in the crowd shouted.

After this shout, the crowd fell silent again, and most of them still turned their eyes to the murderous five hundred cavalry.

Xiao Ming stepped forward at this time and said: "I am Xiao Ming, the king of Qi, who found these people, they are heroes and stand up, Cangzhou is also a lot of Dengzhou soldiers in the first battle, they are brave to kill the enemy one by one, not afraid of death, but it doesn't seem to be so hidden, like a bad seed." ”

Xiao Ming noticed that most of the people here were just bought by money, because in the eyes of these people, he couldn't see anger, only timidity.

What if it has anything to do with them? Why should they be so trembling?

"King Qi, it's actually King Qi?"

"That's right, the Qingzhou Army wears this kind of armor."

"I didn't expect King Qi to come to Dengzhou."

“……”

A burst of whispers came to mind in the crowd, and then there was a sudden movement in the crowd, and more than a dozen young people walked out.

The first one was in his twenties and had dark skin, which was caused by the sea breeze all year round.

"I'm Yue Yun, Your Highness, and now I'm a hero?" Yue Yun said loudly.

Yang Chengye said hatefully: "Bold thief, what qualifications do you have to call yourself a hero in front of His Royal Highness, come here, and take down all the first-class people for me." ”

The dozen or so youths behind Yue Yun immediately pulled out the machetes on their bodies and protected Yue Yun in the middle.

"Fang Thorn History, slow!" Xiao Ming shouted at this time, he walked in front of Yue Yun and said, "So you are the smuggler of salt in Dengzhou?" ”

"Your Highness, there are many smugglers, and I am just one of them."

"Why do you sell illicit salt?"

"There is no way to fish on the sea, you can only sell illicit salt to make a living, not to mention that this sea salt is born of heaven and earth, and it can be used by all living beings in the world, why only need the government to sell it, and we people are not allowed to sell it?" Yue Yun said confidently.

"As you said, then this king asks you, how many taels of silver did you Yue Yun contribute to the military rations, forged artillery, and cannonballs used in the battle of Cangzhou?" Xiao Ming said with a smile: "But this salt transportation division fills the treasury with 10,000 taels of silver every month, if everyone in the world has the same idea as you, where will the military rations come from?" Where did the artillery come from? Who will defend against the barbarians, and besides, is the illicit salt sold by your Yue Yun given to the people for nothing? ”

Just now, Xiao Ming just used some radical methods, and he didn't expect this Yue Yun to really come out, so this Yue Yun is a hot-blooded person, but there is still salvation.

"This ......" Yue Yun was speechless for a while, and after being silent for a while, he suddenly said angrily: "That's right, I have nothing to say about the battle of Cangzhou, Your Highness protects the peace of the six states, but Your Highness has ever thought that the people of Dengzhou, we used to fish at sea for generations, but now we have been slaughtered by the Japanese Bandits, lost the business of our ancestors to eat, and do not sell illicit salt, how can we live." ”

"Nonsense, didn't the government give you arable land? You don't think about farming, but blame Your Highness. "Yang Chengye has always been troubled by these illegal salt dealers, and at this time he just wants to bring these people to justice.

Yue Yun said: "Our hands are used for rowing boats and casting nets, not for farming, so how can we farm, and besides, these acres are so far away from the village, how can we go?" ”

Yang Chengye also reprimanded Yue Yun, but Xiao Ming stopped him at this time and said, "You say that this king does not care about the life and death of your people in Dengzhou? Well, now this king will give you a chance to take back the fishing place, will you? ”

"Get the fishing place back?" Yue Yun smiled bitterly, "Your Highness, you may not have seen these gangs of pirates, their ships are taller than ours, and they have more sophisticated weapons and equipment, just a dozen of us, how can we drive them away?" ”

"What if this king gives you a big boat, and then gathers thousands of young people from Dengzhou fishing villages, and then equips you?" Xiao Ming asked.

Yue Yun looked at Xiao Ming suspiciously and said, "Is Your Highness serious?" ”

"Seriously!" Xiao Ming said.

"Doesn't Your Highness punish us for our sins?"

"If you will join the king's navy, the king will be exempted from your guilt." Xiao Ming said.

If the law is not human, and he only mentioned the battle of Cangzhou, this Yue Yun and the others dared to show up, indicating that they were not sinister and cunning people.

This time it's just to save the villagers, and it seems that this Yue Yun is also affectionate and righteous.

Now what he lacks most is manpower, as a vassal king, he must have the mind to recruit talents, and he can't be confined to small sections.

"Then from now on, our life is Your Highness?"

Selling illicit salt was a capital offense, but Xiao Ming was extra gracious at this time.

When he sold the illicit salt to the people, he had already heard about the righteousness of King Qi, and now he saw it in person, and he surrendered in his heart.
