Chapter 682 The loyal minister is angry
Wang Gan, the captain of Jinwu, led more than 200 people through Feiyan Lane, and heard a noise in his ears and a chaos in front of him.
"The officers and soldiers are here!"
"Escape quickly, the soldiers are here!"
"Cui'er's mother, take Cui'er away quickly, I'll fight with them!" With shouts, the people on the streets were immediately in chaos.
They ran out of the street from the air-flowing wooden houses on all sides in a daze. When they saw Zhi Jinwu's face, they immediately became panicked. Some fell a dog on the street and some cried and fell into the ditch beside them. Some rushed out of the door in panic and turned around and ran back to tie the door tightly.
In an emergency, sharp whistles were passed through the city, spreading straight towards Ruyifang hundreds of meters ahead of Wang Gan and the others. The firelight on both sides of the street also went out until the entire Feiyan Lane merged into the night.
Wang Gan's heart moved and asked a soldier like a thin monkey beside him, "Who is blowing a whistle? What's the point of this whistle?"
The thin monkey was originally a native of Liaodong. He had to turn to Zhi Jinwu, who was under the tent of Prince Chenliu, because Gongsun Du died in battle and wanted to make a living.
Upon hearing Wang Gan's question, a hint of embarrassment surged on the face of the thin monkey: "Report to the lieutenant, this whistle was the original warning message created by Lord Gongsun when he was alive. Because I, Liaodong, bordered the Wuhuan and Xianbei, and there were often invasions by Wuhuan or Xianbei alien cavalry, Lord Gongsun followed Mr. Guan Ning's advice to set up sentinels in every street, alley and market.
Once they find that there are chaotic foreigners, they will blew a whistle and remind everyone to be prepared for thieves to invade. However, in recent years, Lord Gongsun has successively practiced ruthless laws, attacked the powerful, and defeated Wuhuan and Goguryeo. The current situation rarely occurs in the city, so this whistle and message has not been used much!"
Gongsun Du is not a pampered bag, he actually knows how to use the whistle as an alarm bell to give the people time to react!
Wang Gan nodded and was about to praise him, but suddenly his face turned red. This whistle was not used on the foreign barbarians, but on their heads. Are they more hateful and terrifying than the barbarian who eats raw meat and drinks blood?
It is better to guard against officers and soldiers than to guard against thieves!
Wang Gan looked into the darkness slowly and saw countless figures in the black streets and markets. He sighed slightly in his heart, pressed his hands towards his guards, and walked slowly.
He knew that once Your Majesty's order was issued, there would be chaos in Xiangping City. He also knew that those ordinary people who were avoiding chaos, but this was their home, the place where their ancestors lived for generations. Where could they go after this place?
"Which general is ahead? Why did he allow his soldiers to go to Ruyifang in the night? Don't you know that my Ruyifang only accepted thousands of people yesterday? If you accidentally bump into them and cause them to be injured, what crime should you be punished?"
At this moment, a sound full of positive energy came from the front, and it faintly suppressed the noise of the people.
I don’t know if the sound is too magical or if this person has a high prestige in the hearts of the people. As soon as the sound came out, countless pairs of steps forward in the darkness paused, and turned their heads and looked at the man together.
Is there anyone in Xiangping City who can convince the people so much?
Wang Gan was stunned and suddenly remembered that someone came. He kicked the horse's belly and came to the darkness. He held a punch at the man from afar and asked, "Do you dare to ask, Mr. Guan You'an, who used to sit in separate seats with Hua Xin?"
The man nodded and bowed to Wang Gan in the firelight: "It's Guan Ning from Beihai. I don't know who the general is, why he drove his troops into the yard. Are you not afraid of His Majesty's punishment?"
Your Majesty punishes it?
Wang Gan smiled bitterly, and simply jumped off the horse's back and walked to Guan Ning: "Sir, maybe I don't know yet that this lieutenant came to capture the common people under the order of His Majesty. Otherwise, how would this lieutenant do such a thing that was pointed at the back and spitted on his back?"
"What did you say? This is Your Majesty's attention? It's ridiculous and extremely ridiculous. My dignified Han emperor actually did such a despicable thing, and he was not afraid of shame to the late emperors of the Han dynasties and letting Emperor Gaozu crawl out of the imperial tomb!"
Guan Ning was so angry that his face turned red and his neck was thick, his eyes were full of resentment and contempt, and his long beard stood upside down. "It was all flattering people like you who didn't know how to advise Your Majesty, but he actually asked him to do this kind of thing of cutting off his foundation and digging his own grave!"
"Hmph, who can't speak cheap words? If you have the ability, go and persuade Your Majesty. If he can listen, he can go in..."
A soldier was angry that Guan Ning scattered all the breath on Wang Gan. He muttered aside and was interrupted by Wang Gan's words: "Mr. You'an, don't blame me. It's because Your Majesty saw Taishi Ci's army coming to the city, and the people on the top of the city suddenly resisted. He couldn't make a turn in his heart. We didn't listen to the hard advice, so this was a bad idea."
This is more than a bad idea, it is simply giving Wang Li points and heads!
Guan Ning pointed at Wang Gan with a regret, but did not scold him again.
"Mr. You'an, Your Majesty is trapped in Liaodong and cannot be free, and the thought of being burned with jade and stone is already in his heart. Wang knew that you are a genius in the world, treating the people as flesh and flesh as hands, and asked Mr. to go to Your Majesty's actions to persuade and save the suffering people in the city!" Wang Gan looked at the figures hiding in the corner with pity, sighed and knelt down in the street.
"I would like to ask Mr. You'an to save the suffering people in the city!"
"Sir, please save Xiaomin!"
Zhi Jinwu's lieutenant went on, and how could his sons be neglected? The fleeing people would naturally not miss this opportunity that was related to their lives. They came over from afar and knelt down the street behind Zhi Jinwu.
The whole Ruyifang was silent, with thousands of figures coming out of the streets, in the alleys, in small buildings and ditches, kneeling quietly on the long street of Ruyifang, and looking at the thin but majestic figure ahead with a pair of eyes burningly.
It turned out that Guan Ning has lived in seclusion in this Ruyifang since he came to Liaodong.
Usually, he did not talk about political affairs when dealing with Gongsun Du, but just set up a college in the yard, explaining the Book of Songs, ceremonies, rectifying the majesty, and exerting politeness. He did some educational work for Gongsun Du, and was deeply loved by the people in the city.
As soon as the Prince of Chenliu came back, he met Taishi Ci and Zhang Nan. Jiao Chu was in a turmoil and had no time to recruit Guan Ning. Therefore, Guan Ning, who was unwilling to become an official, continued to maintain his freedom.
It is a blessing or not a disaster, it is a disaster that cannot be avoided.
Mencius said: Fish and bear's paws cannot be both, but those who give up fish and take the bear's paws can be both. People who give up life and seek righteousness cannot be both. People who give up life and seek righteousness. Although Guan regards the official path as a Kan route, he has also read books from sages. It seems that this time, for the safety of the people, he has to go there no matter what!
"You can get up, Guan is trying his life to take back his life if he goes to the road!" Guan Ning sighed, waved his hand to everyone, and dragged his tired body firmly into the darkness.
The body in the middle of the night seemed to shine on the entire Ruyifang. The people knelt on the ground and their eyes were filled with tears, staring at the figure tightly, as if they wanted to imprint him firmly in their minds.
