Chapter 241 This is the Auspicious Divine Beast(1/2)
The next day.
What happened last night did not bring peace to the chaotic city.
On the contrary, it was even more noisy.
The heads of nine refugee leaders hung in front of the city gate. All nine of them participated in the assassination of Lu Nianli yesterday, but they didn't expect that their every move would have been known by Bai Xiaotang.
From the moment they expressed their intention to kill, the outcome was already doomed.
"The prince of the Northern Territory comes here with bad intentions!"
Luancheng County Magistrate Pei Wen's scalp was numb. He originally thought that Lu Nianli was a playboy, but he didn't expect that he would kill the largest refugee leaders quietly.
"I'm afraid Lord Sheriff's plan will come to nothing."
Among the four counties in the northern region, Cheng Huai, the head of Lingnan County, was once the top general under the King of Zhenbei.
After the establishment of the Dafeng Dynasty, Lu Wudi was granted the title of King of the North, and Cheng Huai took the initiative to serve as the governor of Lingnan County, managing the most chaotic Lingnan County in the northern region for Lu Wudi.
Cheng Huai's loyalty to the Northern Territory is unquestionable.
His hostility towards the prince of the Northern Territory is also well known.
Pei Wen was terrified. Yesterday, the county governor asked him to leave the chaotic city, hoping that Lu Nianli would die in the chaotic situation of the chaotic city. When he came back today, the outcome was completely different from what he imagined.
He couldn't understand what the prince wanted to do.
It may be said that the prince wanted to rectify the chaotic city, but he did not interfere in any government affairs. Instead, he opened a brothel and listened to music all night.
It could be said that the Crown Prince only cared about having fun, but he used thunderous power to cleanse the entire refugee group, even Leng Kui, the left guardian of the Taiping Sect, was killed.
The chess pieces of other forces who wanted to assassinate or threaten the prince were also manipulated.
"I'm afraid the prince is playing a big game of chess."
Pei Wen was thinking in his mind when he arrived at the county government office and saw a huge crowd of people in front of the government office, with many refugees surrounding him crying and complaining about their grievances.
"The county magistrate is here!"
Someone in the crowd shouted something, and the refugees' eyes fell on Pei Wen one after another. They swarmed in and surrounded Pei Wen.
"These thugs!"
Pei Wen cursed secretly in his heart, but smiled on the outside and said: "The villagers have been waiting in front of the county government office early in the morning. What do you want to complain about?"
"Your Majesty the County Magistrate, the government has not opened a warehouse to release grain for a long time."
"The folks can hardly live anymore."
"Please, magistrate, please save us?"
The refugees begged one after another.
Pei Wen also had a headache when facing this group of refugees who looked pitiful but were actually deeply scheming.
He knew that there were people behind the refugees who were fanning the flames.
As long as the government dared to refuse the refugees' request, the refugees outside the city would riot. Even if nearly 30,000 refugees rioted, it would be difficult for the government to suppress them.
Every time the government opened a warehouse to release grain, it would be cut off by some of the refugees.
Very few can actually fall into the hands of refugees.
In this world, being born at the bottom is so miserable. You don't have enough to eat or wear, not to mention dignity, and you don't even have human rights.
"My Lord County Magistrate, I heard that His Highness the Crown Prince opened the Chaiyue Building yesterday and spent thousands of taels of silver. How about you take us to see His Highness the Crown Prince and ask him to save us."
"Yes, His Royal Highness is rich, why don't you save us?"
"If the Crown Prince really cares about the people of the Northern Territory, he should distribute his money to us. Only then can real peace be achieved in the Northern Territory."
The voices of the refugees became more intense.
Pei Wen's eyes flashed.
In this case, it is better to divert the trouble to the east and let the prince take on this responsibility, not to mention caring for the common people, which is the responsibility of the prince of the Northern Territory.
"Your Majesty spent the night singing happily at Zhuiyue Tower yesterday. I'm afraid he hasn't gotten up yet."
It is difficult for Pei Wen to act accordingly.
As soon as these words came out, the refugees became even more angry.
Why can the prince of the Northern Territory sing and sing every night, but they don't have enough to eat?
"Let's go and find His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to seek justice."
"If the crown prince does nothing, there will be no hope for the Northern Territory, then we will rebel!"
The refugees encouraged each other and became more and more courageous.
Because they know that as long as people gather to make trouble, the government will definitely compromise. There are 30,000 people, and the government is not willing to spend energy fighting them.
Martial arts masters will not kill ordinary people.
The refugee group quickly found the inn where Lu Nianli lived.
…
Lu Nianli, who was having a sweet dream, was awakened by the noisy sound outside, "Chun Yu, what's going on?"
"Your Majesty, there are refugees causing trouble."
"It seems like they are asking the government to open warehouses to release grain."
Xia Chan said: "I have long heard that the government in the chaotic city did not act and was led by the refugees. Now it seems that this is indeed the case." www.bǐqυgetν.℃ǒm
Qiuye also said: "I remember that Luancheng County has the lowest taxes in the entire Northern Territory. It is also located close to the grassland and is suitable for planting and breeding.
As for wars, there has been no large-scale war on the border for ten years, and the real impact on ordinary people is very low."
Dong Xue pursed her lips, "So, these refugees are asking for trouble themselves. It's obvious that they can live and thrive as long as they move their hands a little, so why beg others?"
"Your Majesty, what do you mean?"
The maids looked at Lu Nianli.
The prince sent the prince here because he wanted the prince to conquer 30,000 refugees. If the prince did nothing, he might not be able to deal with the prince when he returned.
"Make them wait!"
Lu Nianli was enjoying the massage from the maids, and he didn't bother to care about these refugees.
Since there is a precedent, even if the warehouse is opened to release grain, it will only nourish the inertia of these refugees and make them think that someone will always find out if something goes wrong.
Although he likes to show off, he won't affect other people.
These refugees are no longer left to rot, but have transformed into blood-sucking insects.
After speaking, Lu Nianli asked the four maids to block outside sounds and continued to sleep.
The refugees looked ruthless, but they didn't dare to rush into the inn. They knew that the prince had a peerless master beside him, and if they went in and tried their best, they would be dead.
All they can do is waste!
Put mental pressure on the prince.
…
In this way, the refugees stayed outside the inn for five days, eating steamed buns and wild vegetables when they were hungry, and sleeping on the spot when they were sleepy.
Do nothing and just waste it.
Little did they know that the Crown Prince they were expecting had already slipped out of the room and went to Zhuiyue Tower to listen to music and dance.
Lu Nianli, who had nothing to do, even made a painting for each of the geishas in Zhuiyue Tower. This made the geishas happy and they practiced singing and dancing day and night.
If the prince comes to Yaxing, he will even teach them music himself.
They were even more amazed by the prince's accomplishments in music, which were no less impressive than his accomplishments in painting.
Just a random song can play into the depths of their hearts.
He said directly, "A heartbroken song, where can I find a true friend in the world".
Every night while listening to the prince's music, the geishas would burst into tears and complain from the bottom of their hearts.
In just a few days of getting along, they had already regarded the prince as their salvation.
They carefully collected the paintings the prince made for them.
The faces in the painting are the most beautiful moments in their lives.
The low self-esteem and cowardice that I had in the past seemed to disappear when I saw myself in the painting. It turns out that they also have shining advantages.
When she went back at night, the eldest princess Song Qing, who woke up from a coma, finally couldn't bear it anymore.
"Your Majesty, are you really prepared to spend a month in a chaotic city like this?"
"Uncle Lu asked you to conquer 30,000 refugees. Doing this will only make the refugees' impression of you continue to decline. How can you conquer them?"
Lu Nianli raised his head and looked at Song Qing, who was more anxious than himself, and said seriously:
"Who said that I want to conquer the refugees? I have already said that we should rule by doing nothing. The refugees can do whatever they want. When they think about it clearly, they will find a way out on their own."
