There was a long queue at the south gate of Zhiyi City. People were holding clay pots and basins, fearing that the bowls were too small to hold the delicious meat.
Yang Jin asked the soldiers to set up ten large tables and fill them with empty iron bowls.
The iron bowl is filled with meat.
Chen Gan said loudly: "Each person has a bowl, and take chopsticks from the chopstick holder next to them.
You can take the dishes home.
Let me state the rules first. Anyone who takes more than what is allowed will be punished with a stick! ”
When the people saw the meat, their taste buds, which had not tasted meat for a long time, all clamored, and they didn't care to listen to Chen Gan's words at all.
The only thing to do is to eat the meat as soon as possible!
When the people received the meat, the smart ones took advantage of the fact that there were soldiers maintaining order and were not afraid of looting, so they started eating it in the street.
“Delicious, really delicious!”
...
...
"Woo, woo, woo, woo, the food of the guillotine is probably just like this!"
"Meat! Really meat! Hahaha, I am finally living this good life!"
The little boy picked up the meat from his bowl and put it into the bowl of the white-haired grandfather.
"Grandpa, please eat! This meat smells so good, it must be delicious!"
The little boy's eyes were shining, and his eyes were full of the meat in the bowl.
The old man smiled and put the food back into his bowl: "Grandpa has it, let's have more, Huzi."
When I grow up, I will join the army and serve His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. ”
Hu Zi nodded obediently: "Yes!"
Ever since the porridge distribution started in Nancheng, Xiao Jingzhou had issued an order to ensure that the people had enough porridge to drink.
Never broke a promise.
This time when the meat was distributed, the people were orderly and no one scrambled for it.
Invisibly, Xiao Jingzhou's words carried more weight in the hearts of the people of Zhiyi City.
It's not just imperial power, it's also a kind of trust.
The next day.
People began to line up at the South Gate again.
When the soldiers saw this, they were all puzzled.
Yang Jin took his men to check the situation.
I saw the people holding bowls in their hands and smiling on their faces.
Chen Gan was a little anxious, so he grabbed a soldier and asked, "What's going on?"
The soldier was also a little confused: "General, I don't know either.
These people didn't know what was going on and started queuing.
We haven’t received any notification that there will be meat distribution today? ”
“Oh no!”
Yang Jin reacted instantly, he cursed in a low voice, and then ordered:
"Hurry up and have someone search the city for any unknown notices."
"As soon as you have any news, report to the government office!"
After giving orders to the soldiers, Yang Jin looked at the line that was getting longer and longer, stamped his feet in anger, and turned to rush to the government office.
He wants to tell His Royal Highness the Crown Prince the news as soon as possible!
The hall of government office.
"What?"
"General Yang, are you telling the truth?"
Gu Zhenbei was shocked. He stood up and walked towards Yang Jin.
Several officials present hoped that Yang Jin would shake his head.
Unfortunately, the opposite happened.
Yang Jin was sweating profusely: "It's absolutely true!"
He took out a few notices and showed them to the people present.
"These are the notices that the officers and soldiers found at the three major city gates."
"People are starting to complain about the porridge stalls under the South City Gate. If this continues, who knows what will happen."
After reading it, Gu Zhenbei threw it on the ground angrily.
"Bullshit, it's all bullshit!"
Lu Chen picked it up and was also dumbfounded.
“What is this?
The gods were kind enough to give me meat and vegetables. After eating one bowl, I wanted another.
Where can I find meat nowadays? ”
If I had known this earlier, it would have been better for the meat to rot and stink than the current situation.
After reading the notice, Xiao Jingzhou looked calm.
It wasn't until he saw the red mark on the lower right corner that his brows began to frown.
He said, "It has an official seal on it."
Qian Wuyou said in horror: "Yes! This is a real official seal!"
The Ministry of Revenue was responsible for allocating money to various ministries and was also familiar with the management of official seals.
Qian Wuyou could even determine the authenticity of the official seal at a glance.
Xiao Jingzhou pondered, "Has anyone sneaked into the cell and visited Wang Xiebin recently?"
Yang Jin shook his head: "He was infected with the plague before and was sick and confused.
The people who deliver meals take turns every now and then.
The prison cell was guarded like an iron barrel, and it was impossible for anyone to sneak in. ”
Lu Chen reacted: "Wang Xiebin has seized the position of county magistrate. Maybe the official seal was not in his hands from the beginning?"
Speculations are just speculations.
When the people of Zhiyi City saw the news, they believed it and lined up at the South Gate to eat meat.
If this matter is not resolved properly, it will easily lead to a crisis of trust.
Xiao Jingzhou said: "Let's go to the South Gate and take a look."
The people queuing at the South Gate were originally waiting to eat meat happily, but the pot on the stove was nowhere to be seen.
Everyone's happiness gradually turned into doubt, and there were even sporadic voices of suspicion.
"What's going on?"
"Did I hear the news wrongly?"
"No way? It's possible that I heard it wrong, but the notice can't be fake, right?"
"Let's wait and see. Your Highness the Crown Prince's words are as good as gold. He will never deceive the people."
"Here he comes, it's the Crown Prince!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the people all turned their expectant eyes to Xiao Jingzhou.
Xiao Jingzhou stood in front of the porridge stall, looking at the faces of the people around him.
Yang Jin received instructions and walked in front of the crowd, shouting, "We won't be distributing meat today, everyone go away!"
Without meat to eat, the light in people's eyes gradually dimmed.
"Why?"
"Why is it gone for no reason?"
The brave people even began to question.
"Your Highness, we have waited for so long, it can't be in vain, right?
We want a reasonable explanation! ”
"Yes, yes, yes! If you don't explain it clearly, we won't leave!"
There were shouting voices in the crowd.
"I think the meat given by the gods was probably given to you by you to take it all for yourself!"
"Share the meat! We want to share the meat!"
When Lu Chen saw the person shouting, his face turned red with anger.
He suppressed his anger, clenched his fists and cursed under his breath.
"A pinch of rice is a favor, a bushel of rice is a grudge.
None of them are good!
They should have starved to death! ”
Suddenly, someone shouted.
"Fellow villagers, don't forget about the temple!"
As soon as he said this, the tip of the knife cut through his clothes and just touched the skin at his waist.
With a clang, he felt a chill at his waist and the dagger fell to the ground.
Yeo-jin yells, “Catch them!”
The soldiers quickly brought several people to Xiao Jingzhou.
These people have different looks, but they have one thing in common.
He has a fierce face and a tall and strong body.
When the people saw the people being taken away, they all fell silent tacitly.
Before Xiao Jingzhou gave any order to deal with the situation, some people among the people were still clamoring, trying to control the people's anger.
"Everyone, look! The prince wants to kill people to silence them."
“This is tyranny!”
"How can such a person become the future monarch!"
The people standing in the front looked left and right, looked at each other, and did not say a word.
Xiao Jingzhou whispered, "Close the net!"
Yang Jin immediately led his men into the crowd and arrested the people who were shouting.
When the man in gray saw his companion being caught, he immediately woke up and tried to escape.
Gu Zhenbei grabbed his shoulder and broke one of his legs with a kick.
“Ah~”
The shrill sound irritated the eardrums of people around.
Gu Zhenbei dragged the man to the porridge stall like a dead dog and threw him heavily to the ground.
Xiao Jingzhou glanced down and said coldly, "Strip off their clothes!"
