Chapter 262 Unexpected change

Lu Jinping told the doctor standing by him to pay attention to observation and not take any medicine for the time being. As long as there are no shock symptoms, wait for his own test results first.

The doctor in the exile office now understood that the young man in front of him was the prince, and he bowed and agreed in fear and fear.

From the moment, the prince did not seem to blame himself for his incompetence. After Lu Jinping left, the doctor found that his back was covered with sweat.

Commander Wang followed Lu Jinping out of the yard.

Lu Jinping said: "Your wife is in good health. You didn't sleep all night last night. Now the prisoner has calmed down. You can stay and take care of your wife without following me. I will find a way to understand your wife's illness and take targeted medication. There must be a reason for frequent vomiting and it should not be underestimated. You must find out the cause of the disease as soon as possible before targeted treatment."

Commander Wang burst into tears of gratitude, his fat face twitched and kept saying thank you. He didn't expect that the prince would actually care about his wife's illness, which made him... flattered.

Lu Jinping and his friends left the residential area where Commander Wang lived and went to the exile place.

When he walked to the gate of the exile office, Xiaoxiao suddenly stopped and said to Lu Jinping: "Many people are coming to this side."

Of course, Lu Jinping's ears were not as sharp as hers, and he didn't hear anything wrong. However, he absolutely believed what Xiaoxiao said, and when he saw Xiaoxiao's serious expression, he was afraid that these people would not have any good intentions, so he quickly said, "Is there anything wrong?"

Xiaoxiao said: "The people who came shouted loudly, as if they were motivating others, and there were a large number of people, about hundreds of people."

Lu Jinping quickly said: "We will return to the exile station, and the terrain is dangerous. If these large number of people come, it will be bad for us. We can also defend according to the danger and notify the officers and soldiers to prepare for the response."

So everyone accelerated their pace and almost trotted back to the exile station. They went up to the high place of the exile station to observe the post. Looking down, Lu Jinping was surprised. He saw that many people were coming from the mountain road below, and they could not see at first sight. And they came from several mountain roads toward this side, carrying hoes, hatchets, rakes, wooden sticks, and even swords, bows and arrows on their shoulders.

What are these people doing? Are they here to rob the prison? Lu Jinping's heart is tight.

At this time, the people who rushed to inform Commander Wang came over with Commander Wang in a panic.

Commander Wang found that the people who came down from the mountain did not know what to do, so he immediately ordered all officers and soldiers to strengthen their vigilance.

However, there were hundreds of villagers coming up here, and there were only a hundred officers and soldiers. If there was a riot, it would be difficult to resist.

Commander Wang was so scared that his troops were not part of the border guards. They were not elite troops of the Tang Dynasty. Most of them were old, weak, sick and disabled, and were only equipped with some short weapons, and there were very few archers.

However, Commander Wang still tried to calm down and ordered the archers to go forward and prepare to shoot. At the same time, he asked the officers and soldiers to shout, so that these villagers were not allowed to approach the exile site.

These villagers are still hundreds of steps away from the exile site to conveniently stop. This place is a large area of ​​blackness outside the range of bows and arrows, and the entire hillside is filled with them. Moreover, there are a steady stream of villagers coming here behind them. More and more people are accumulated, and there are probably thousands of people who come later.

Now even Lu Jinping felt that the situation was serious and he didn't know what was going on.

Fortunately, these villagers have stopped now and seem to have something to say. They are just waiting for other people to gather further.

The dark and overwhelming people on the hillside are all over the place, talking, the distance is relatively far, and I can't hear it clearly.

Not long after, a white-haired old man was supported by several young men and walked up to a huge rock, standing tall, waving around.

These people calmed down. Then, the old man whispered to the officers and soldiers lined up on the hillside: "Is Commander Wang here? Please come out and speak, I am the village chief of the Luanshi Village and the patriarch."

Commander Wang was actually not good at martial arts and was relatively brave, so how could he dare to face these thousands of people? It was not until Lu Jinping glanced at him with dissatisfaction that he walked out with a tremolo voice: "Captain Zhang, what's wrong with you? Why did you bring so many people to besiege the exile? Do you know that this is a violation of the king's law?"

The Zhang clan Chang's gray beard shook a few times and said sneered: "Master, you don't have to threaten us. You also know that the court can put the exile place here because we are high and the emperor is far away. Birds do not poop, and people do not want to come. However, our ancestors lived here and were used to this desolation. They lived very peacefully, and you had nothing to do with us in the exile place, but now they are different. We have to discuss with you. Your exile place can no longer be set up here and move to another place immediately. Otherwise, don't blame us for being rude."

Commander Wang's face turned cold and said, "Why did the patriarch say this? Where the exile was set by the court, nor was it me. We have always had close contacts. We often walk around during festivals, but there is no place to let you down or harass the people. We are still very strict in managing our soldiers. Why do we have to summon thousands of villagers to force us today? Could it be that you want to rebel?"

When he said the following sentence, Commander Wang's voice trembled even harder. He tried hard to convince himself to make the other party afraid, but when he said this, he regretted it again. Because he knew that the people in Bazhou were fierce and had riots many times in history, and even swept across the country. It was indeed difficult to use culture to influence them, and it was even more impossible to use the king's law to make them surrender. The people here just listened to the patriarch, and even the government could not do anything, so they could only turn a blind eye. Now they had to use the king's law to make the other party afraid. Now that this method is not only unworkable, but may also backfire.

Sure enough, the clan leader sneered and turned to the dark villagers and said, "Dear villagers, the commander said, "I asked if we are rebelling? Are we afraid of the king's law? What do you think?"

Then a strong man jumped out, holding a guillotine weighing dozens of pounds in his hand, pointed at Commander Wang and shouted: "Don't use those words to scare us. Our courage is not scared. Now, we can't survive anymore. If your exile is not moved away, we can't survive. Instead of being eaten by the mountain demon, we might as well drive you away. If you don't leave, we will forcibly drive you away. Anyway, the left and right are dead. Instead of being bitten by the mountain demon, it's better to drive you away. Even if the officers and soldiers come, we can only fight to the death. Do you think?"

Behind him, there were roars one after another: "Wang Fa is a bird. The court is all people who ignore the lives and death of the people. If you fight with them, you will die, and if you fight with your life or death, you will die. There is still a way to survive if you fight with your life or death. After the real mountain demon is angry, no one can survive."

Under the excitement of the crowd, it immediately became like a pot of water, and it was bubbled. Commander Wang was so scared that he retreated repeatedly, and the governor Xue beside him was also so scared that his face turned pale. The rebellion of the local people was amazing. What he feared the most was this move, because the local people were fierce and could not be suppressed with strong force. And he had no heavy troops to call, after all, this place did not belong to the frontier and there were not too many troops stationed.

Commander Wang gritted his teeth and squeezed out of the crowd and walked forward, bowed and bowed to the ground, with an attitude of great humility and respect: "Clan leader, I have something to say."

The head of the clan Zhang, who was standing on the rock, waved his hand and signaled everyone to be quiet. The majesty of the head of the clan was evident from this. He waved his hand and did not speak, and the surroundings immediately became quiet.

Chief Zhang held his fists and bowed and said, "Mr. Governor, your commander is unwilling to move the exile office because he is too young and doesn't keep his word. You are the governor of Bazhou, so you should have this right? The world is so big, how can you settle down in your exile office? Why do you build it near our village? Then will our villagers be exhausted by you? You can say something, move or not? If you don't move, we will force you away. You have to help us speak well and make good decisions. It is good for everyone. Let's talk."

The governor kept explaining with a bitter face that the imperial court decided to place the exile office. Even the governor of Bazhou did not have the power to transfer the exile office to the place.

However, before he finished his explanation, the villagers around him started to make a fuss and shouted loudly to force them away, trying to open the prison door and let all the prisoners go, seeing that they were still here and not leaving.

Now, the governor also felt sweat on his forehead. He explained with a loud voice, but he couldn't hear clearly amid the laughter of the villagers. The patriarch standing on the rock seemed to have no intention of stopping the villagers from making trouble. He just sneered and looked at him, as if he wanted to put pressure on this method.

Lu Jinping walked out, came to the side of the governor Xue, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "I'll deal with it, you can step back."

The governor repeatedly agreed and said to Lu Jinping in panic: "Prince, these people are all troublemakers, but they are many now, so we must not use force too much. It is better to stabilize them first and then report to the court and ask the court to increase its troops before it is necessary."

Lu Jinping glanced at him dissatisfiedly and said, "First understand the situation clearly. If you send troops easily, you will be forced to rebel if you don't want to rebel. Only then will the real officials force the people to rebel. First, find out why they drive you away, and then make a decision. This is the way to deal with things."

The governor was even more frightened and said it was.

Lu Jinping walked forward again, and Ye Qingqing quickly stopped him and said, "Your Majesty, don't take risks."

Xiaoxiao, who was standing beside her, also whispered: "The other party has a large number of people, and it will be amazing if a mutiny occurs. The prince should not come forward and let the governor and others deal with it themselves." (To be continued.)
