The end of the world begins with the king

Chapter 106

Outside the north gate of Erliufang, dignitaries and gentry rushed over with their hands.

At critical moments of life and death, these people are very clear-headed and know that they must share adversity.

It is worth noting that the servants of all the prefectures are wearing thick clothes, and the whole body is tightly wrapped except for the eyes.

In the absence of armor, these people are doing their best to prepare for all protection.

Now it is summer in May, these people wear such thick clothes, they are already panting outside Erliufang, and they are all sweating.

The servants all carried long sticks and long forks, and some even carried simple shields, which looked like the same thing.

Cheng Wenguang roughly counted it, and the number of family members from various prefectures who came to support was probably more than 100 people.

Counting the sedan chairs that rushed over from behind, there were eight in total, which meant that there were eight families.

There are many dignitaries in Yuanyang City, but there are only seven or eight real mainstays.

So Cheng Wenguang didn't even need to guess, he knew that the people from the eight families came.

Wu Yunsheng was the first to get off the sedan chair, and after the heads of other families got off the sedan chair, he led several people to come to Cheng Wenguang.

"Everyone, thank you for your help!" Cheng Wenguang bowed solemnly.

"Your Majesty Fantai, you are being polite, assisting officials to maintain law and order, this is what we should do!"

The answer is that this person is a man in his 40s, and this person is Hu Maode, the head of the Hu family.

His family's granary was in Erliufang, so he was very active in restoring order and brought the most family members.

The rest of the families were not so active, but they all brought servants, which made it hard for Cheng Wenguang to say much.

"Master Cheng, how to deal with this matter, please get a charter!" Wu Yunsheng said at this moment.

Cheng Wenguang smiled wryly, what kind of regulations he could come up with, everything still depends on Tian Jingtong.

"Everyone, just wait a little longer, the governor will be here soon!" Cheng Wenguang said solemnly.

At this moment, Cheng Wenguang also felt strange, after such a long time, Tian Jingtong should have arrived even if he was walking.

More than a hundred people holding "weapons" can only stand there and watch at the moment, afraid that they will be laughed out of their teeth if they say it.

The elders here are discussing the countermeasures, and there are people who come to support with their servants one after another. Obviously, most people still have a big picture.

On the other side, Governor Tian Jingtong walked out of the Dusi Yamen with a livid face.

With the honor of a dignified governor, he came to the Dusi Yamen to rescue soldiers in person, but Chen Anming and two old bastards fudged him out.

What do you say that the soldiers of the various offices are unstable, and there is a possibility of mutiny and defection at any time, and the manpower stationed in various places should not act rashly...

Now that the monsters have erupted in the city, now you tell me that it is not appropriate to move lightly, does that mean you can only move when your neck is bitten off by a monster.

"Governor, we also have difficulties. You don't know how big Yuanyang City is. Now monsters can be seen everywhere outside the city walls..."

"Maybe one day, both of us old bones will have to go up to the city wall to defend, and now there are really no soldiers sent to you!"

At this moment, Chen Anming's old face was still shaking in Tian Jingtong's mind, and it made him feel angry again.

But in the Dusi yamen, Chen Anming and Gao Yongfa looked at each other silently, they really had difficulties.

The manpower guarding the city wall is still enough, what really makes them feel dangerous is that the soldiers are homesick, and a large-scale escape may break out at any time.

Therefore, the actual use of the soldiers in the Dusi Yamen has to be halved, and half of them are used to watch the other half work. This is an extremely dangerous balance.

"Who would have known that in just a few days... the situation would collapse like this!" Chen Anming sighed.

After a long silence, Gao Yongfa said: "Perhaps our biggest mistake is to stand on the opposite side of the palace!"

Now both of them understood that the people in Prince Yong's Mansion knew about the monster's existence in advance, and if they made good friends with them, they would be able to know about it in advance.

But this idea can only be thought about, even if the time starts again, things will still be like this.

"Perhaps this is fate... I, Longyou, should have this calamity!" Chen Anming's expression was miserable.

At this moment, border wars, favors in the officialdom, and filling in vacancies for children and grandchildren all became unimportant, and survival became the only requirement.

"I'm afraid...it's not just our Longyou!"

Speaking of this, Gao Yongfa said even more pessimistically: "Perhaps... the people from the Yinshen Sect are right. This is an act of the heavens to destroy the world!"

Seeing that Gao Yongfa even brought out the heresy of Yinshen Sect, Chen Ming'an became even more worried, and the soldiers from thousands of households below would be even more pessimistic.

As the person in charge of the capital, Chen Anming could only say: "There may be a turning point!"

Gao Yongfa smiled and didn't say much.

On the other end, Tian Jingtong came out of the Dusi Yamen and hurried to Erliufang.

As the chief executive of the local area, Tian Jingtong must not be absent at this time. In such a situation where order is collapsing, even he is worried that he will be marginalized.

It has to be said that every person who ascends to a high position is thinking about many things in his mind, but he doesn't pretend to be much about the affairs of the common people.

When Tian Jingtong arrived at the north gate of Erliufang, a large number of people had gathered here, roughly 200 people.

When the servants and nursing homes of these prefectures saw Tian Jingtong's big driver, they quickly made way for him.

The dignitaries of Yuanyang were divided into two groups, and they were arguing endlessly with each other at the moment, which made it very difficult for Cheng Wenguang who was caught in the middle.

"Blocking Erliufang and setting fire to the monsters is the right thing to do!"

"That's right, this method is the most appropriate, and this matter can't go wrong!"

Hearing these voices, Hu Maode immediately reprimanded: "Fart, there are so many people inside, are they all burned? God has the virtue of good life, I really don't know what your hearts are made of!"

Why did Hu Maud object?Of course, it's not because he sympathizes with the people, but because all the grain of his Hu family is in it.

With so much food, enough for his Hu family to survive for two or three years, how could they let these people set fire to it.

Among the dignitaries, Hu Maode also has his own family allies, and these people also have property in Erliufang, so they all stand by Hu Maode's side.

Of course, the people on Hu Maode's side are still in a weak position, that's why he looks so excited.

Seeing Tian Jingtong get off the sedan chair, someone came up to meet him immediately, and said at the same time: "My lord governor, forget it, you have to make up your mind on this matter, you can't have the kindness of a woman at this moment!"

In fact, Tian Jingtong had already heard the content of their quarrel when he got off the sedan chair.

The two sides insisted on their own opinions, and the contradiction was transferred to him.

"Master Governor, you can't listen to their nonsense, the common people are so innocent!" Hu Maode hurried up to greet him.

Immediately someone scolded angrily: "Hu Maode, are you going to disregard the life and death of the people in the city?"

After all, there are more people who support the burning of Erliufang, and the voice of angrily denouncing this person fell, and immediately got more people's support.

The burning of Erliufang caused the greatest loss to Hu Maode's interests, and the rest of the people with conflicting interests kept silent at the moment, but they were unwilling to cause public anger at the moment.

As a result, there are only two close friends with Hu Maode at the moment, which is called a weak force.

It was difficult to disobey everyone's will, Tian Jingtong glanced at Cheng Wenguang who was at the side, and asked, "Master Cheng, what do you think?"

Being stared at by all the dignitaries, Cheng Wenguang said helplessly: "My lord, now it seems... there are only the common people in Liufang who suffer first and second!"
