In the eyes of Duan Shishi, who has lived in Dongchang since he could remember, surrounded by bloody slaughter, the scene outside is indeed nothing more than "someone making trouble".

But when Jun Huailang pushed open the door and looked out, he saw that there was already a fight on the construction site.

The river embankment is already wide, but now the construction period is very urgent, and the number of workers on the embankment is also very large, and there are thousands of people in total.

At this time, on the construction site near the break of the river embankment, a large group of people gathered around and fought, knocking all the utensils and materials for repairing the embankment into a mess.The tents that were originally set up on the edge of the embankment for resting purposes also collapsed a lot at this time.

From a distance, the construction site, which was originally orderly, has become a mess.There were also individual fighting migrant workers who wanted to rush towards his house, but were blocked back by the Jinyi guards guarding outside.

Jun Huailang was startled, and couldn't help but frowned.

The dikes are being repaired in good order, how could such a crowd fight suddenly happen?

However, Jun Huailang had no time to think about it.He immediately ordered Jinbao: "Go, immediately call the official in charge this afternoon, and ask him to quickly gather all the officers and soldiers standing guard around the camp, and control the fight first, so as not to cause casualties."

Jin Bao let out a hey, and trotted out quickly.

Seeing that Jinbao had run away, Jun Huailang stepped out and went to find a nearby official to ask about the situation and the reason.

But there was an unsheathed Xiuchun knife standing in front of him.

Jun Huailang looked sideways, and saw Duan Shishi standing there.

"Please leave with your subordinates," he said.

"Something happened on the embankment construction site, how can I go first?" Jun Huailang said. "I can handle it myself, don't worry."

Duan Shishi lowered his eyes, with a look of reluctance.

"The prince has orders, and his subordinates need to protect the safety of the prince." He said.

Jun Huailang understood, what he meant was that he was only responsible for protecting his own safety, and he didn't care about other things.

Jun Huailang watched as the situation outside became more and more chaotic. There were a few people in official uniforms mixed in the crowd, but they couldn't control the scene at all, instead they were beaten.

Under such circumstances, it is necessary to have someone who comes forward to arrange and stabilize the situation.

Jun Huailang was a little anxious, and explained to him: "I'm just going to arrange people and prevent them from making trouble, and there will be no danger. You have your responsibilities, and I have mine."

Duan Shishi's saber was still there: "My son, you can leave through the west door, there is no one there."

Jun Huailang understood.

Although the young man Xue Yan was following was strong and stable, and could do everything well, he lacked some humanity and was different from ordinary people.

He is like a hidden weapon in Xue Yan's hand, a sharp sword, more than sharp, but it's just a weapon.

He can ask him to do things according to his orders, but if you explain and discuss with him, it will not work at all.

— After all, he couldn't understand it at all.

Jun Huailang changed the subject: "What Xue Yan asked you to do is not only to protect my safety, right?"

This time, Duan Shishi raised his eyes to look at him.

There was a pair of clumsy doubts in the dark and cold eyes.

Jun Huailang looked at him, and took out the sapphire from his sleeve: "He asked you to obey me, right?"

Duan Shishi's eyes fell on the piece of jade.

"Yes." He said.

Jun Huailang took the jade back into his sleeve.

"Then I order you now to go to the construction site with me." He said. "As for how to protect my safety, that's up to you."

This time, Duan Shishi understood.

He has always only understood orders, as for the others, he has never learned since he was a child.

"Yes." He responded with his sword in his arms, and asked Jun Huailang to go out sideways.

Jun Huailang really doesn't need Duan Shishi's protection.

The few migrant workers who dared to rush towards his residence were subdued by the Jinyi guards.As soon as he came out of the house, a middle-aged official with a black face and disheveled hair came running over and saluted him, "My lord, forgive me, my subordinates did not do well, and caused an accident on the construction site..."

Jun Huailang hurriedly asked: "What's going on?"

The official said: "It's the dozen or so workers who were injured at the construction site today. The pensions and medicines were obviously paid to them, but they said they hadn't received them, and said that some small officials wanted to drive them away... these workers So they went to discuss the explanation with their fellow countrymen and friends, and for no reason, they all started fighting..."

Jun Huailang frowned.

At this moment, Jin Bao hurriedly led the officials in charge of patrolling over here.

"Send officers and soldiers to pull them all away," Jun Huailang said. "All those involved in the fight, don't leave a single one behind, first control them all. Then you take half of the Jin Yiwei here with you, and don't let them kill anyone."

Jin Bao and the official took orders and hurriedly led the people to the construction site.

The official who came running just now heard the words, and said eagerly: "This...His Royal Highness, are you really going to detain them all?"

Jun Huailang looked at him.

The official said in a low voice: "It's better to wait for the situation to stabilize, and let the subordinates ask first. If our subordinates really did something wrong, it's not good to wrong these people..."

Jun Huailang knew what he was afraid of.

In the face of a catastrophe, what people in the government are most afraid of is chaos and loss of popular support.

Now, some people on the construction site are already in chaos because of the government's mistakes. If they are blindly detained again, the conflict between them and the government will become more serious, what should be done?Today, the scene at a construction site can still be controlled, but if the hearts of the people in the city are chilled, they will be in chaos at that time, and they will not be able to control it.

Jun Huailang heard the words, turned his head to look at the messy construction site, and did not speak.

The official persuaded: "His Royal Highness, Jinling City is in danger now, and the chaos cannot continue."

Jun Huailang shook his head.

"Don't worry," he said. "I make my own decision."

-

Before dark, Jun Huailang received a plea from the officials on the construction site to interrogate the rioters.

Sure enough, as he expected, because the accident on the construction site was urgent at that time, the pension was issued directly without strict records, so it is not sure whether someone actually took it privately.

But Jun Huailang knew, no.

Ever since he saw the chaos on the construction site today, he had already thought about it.

That official was right, Jinling City is no longer in chaos.

Because of this, some people must want to see the turmoil in Jinling, making the disaster worse, so that it is completely out of control.

Isn't that the case in previous lives?

From "refugees" rushing into the academy and beating scholars, to today's fights on the embankment construction site, to the previous life, there were many riots in the refugee camp, and even to the point where some people started an uprising, all these chaos and disasters erupted together , Not only can Jinling become a pool of muddy water, but it can also make the officials in charge bear serious crimes.

And in the chaos, it is easier to take advantage of the opportunity to embezzle and blame.

Jun Huailang guessed that what happened today was because someone was acting.

As soon as Xue Yan left, the construction site immediately became chaotic. How could there be such a coincidence?

Fortunately, he interrogated the little leader of the rebellion that day, and knew that he was a local who had been bribed and had no contact with other rebels.With this clue, Jun Huailang guessed that the main envoys and participants of today's rebellion were also mixed among the common people.

The most important thing now is to find out all these people.Otherwise, if they are allowed to mix among the common people, Jinling will not be peaceful for a day.

However, just like today, those people are mixed among the common people. Once troubles are provoked, the common people will be incited and make a fuss together.

When the number of people increases, and the main envoy is mixed with innocent people, it will be even more difficult to find them out at this time.

Jun Huailang fell into deep thought.

At this moment, there was a knock on Jun Huailang's door.

He asked someone to come in, and he saw that it was the official in charge on the river embankment today.

"His Royal Highness." He saluted. "Today, all the refugees on the embankment who caused chaos have been locked up. Among them, a hundred or so were injured, and the officials came to ask what to do."

Jun Huailang pondered for a moment.

"Go to the government treasury to get the medicinal materials, and then send the doctor there to cure them as soon as possible." He said. "Report the situation to me every day, don't delay."

Officials should go down.

Jun Huailang continued: "As for the rest... let them go."

The official was taken aback for a moment, puzzled and said: "...all released?"

This...he was the one who arrested people in the morning, why did he release them all at night?

Jun Huailang hummed lightly.

"Next, you must listen to what I say," he said. "Every sentence must be carried out according to what I say, you know?"

The official looked at him.

Although His Royal Highness is extremely dignified and indifferent, he has a good temper and is extremely easy to get along with.

But at this time, for some reason, there was an unquestionable coercion on him, which made him involuntarily follow what the other party said.

For a moment, there were two points of Guangling King who looked like the living Hades.

"Yes, please give orders from Your Highness." He quickly replied.

Jun Huailang nodded.

"When releasing people, just spread the word that there was a commotion on the embankment this time. I was extremely furious. I must investigate this matter thoroughly, and none of the troublemakers will be let go," he said. "But Jinling is extremely short of manpower and material resources, and it is impossible to detain so many people. The subordinates tried to persuade them, and my father and Shen Zhifu also put pressure on them, so I released them all in a fit of anger."

The officials were stunned.

This... how could he ruin his reputation like this?

But Jun Huailang wanted such a result.

When such news is released, ordinary people among the rioters will definitely be shocked.After all, the nobles who are in charge are angry, how dare they use their lives to make fun of it?

But the gangsters who mixed in were different. Seeing that they were provoked and unable to detain them at the same time, they would definitely think that what they were going to do had achieved initial results and they could make persistent efforts.

Next, it is time to put down the bait and give them a reason to continue to make trouble.

"Arrange it further, because I am furious. From then on, the salary on the construction site will be halved, and the money saved should be used to compensate the loss of the construction site. Then send the money to the prefect Shen, and let him use his name to give the laborers at home. women and children have an extra meal a day."

Jun Huailang continued.

After all, ordinary people would never care who the official who actually ordered the order was. Even if the money was reduced, the pressure on them to support their families was reduced by more than half. Calculated in this way, they have benefited instead, and naturally there will be no more troubles.

And those rioters... they just want a reason to make trouble, and they have given it enough.

The officials said yes again and again, but they didn't understand his reasons for doing these things.

"Then what?" he asked.

Jun Huailang looked at him and smiled faintly. For a moment, it was as if the ice had melted and the snow had melted, and the orchids were just blooming.

"And wait," he said.
