Chapter 169 Great changes in Yangzhou!
Pei Yuanhao sat at the other end of the carriage, looked at me, and said coldly: "What are you looking at?"
I looked back at him. Although his face was cold, without the usual scary scowl, it was just so cold that it was enough to scare me. So, without saying a word, I retracted obediently.
Hand, put down the curtain.
However, just as the curtain fell, suddenly, an earth-shaking loud noise came from the distance, a boom, like muffled thunder on a sunny day, deafening!
I subconsciously opened my glasses and looked at Pei Yuanhao.
What happened? At this moment, everyone looked shocked and looked in the direction of the loud noise.
Pei Yuanhao was still calm, and did not immediately show a panicked look. He just stretched out his hand and lifted the curtain with a cry: "Hong Wenquan."
Mr. Hong who was waiting outside hurriedly ran over, with a panicked look on his face, but he still tried to calm himself down and saluted respectfully: "We are here."
"What's going on?"
"This -" Hong Wenquan looked confused. Just as he was hesitating and unable to answer, he saw a pair of people hurriedly running down the road not far ahead. They were the officers and soldiers guarding the city gate. When they saw Hong Wenquan, they
He immediately knelt down and said, "Master Hong."
"What's going on?"
"Victims, victims are hitting the south gate!"
"What?!"
When Hong Wenquan heard this, his face turned pale with fright, and he was sweating profusely. However, Pei Yuanhao had already got off the carriage, walked up to them, and said in a deep voice: "What's going on?"
The soldiers guarding the city didn't know his identity, and seeing his serious expression, they didn't know how to respond. Yang Yunhui stepped forward and said, "Speak quickly!"
Those people glanced at Hong Wenquan, who was already at a loss. They probably guessed the identity of the person in front of them, so they said honestly: "Victims from several nearby provinces have flocked here a few days ago.
Your Majesty ordered the victims to be kept ten miles outside the attached city and not allowed to enter the city. But today, nearly a hundred people have starved to death outside, and the victims are furious, so——"
Before they finished speaking, they were so frightened by Pei Yuanhao's livid face that they dared not speak any more.
But I was sitting on the carriage and was shocked. I didn’t expect that Hong Wenquan actually kept the victims ten miles outside the attached city. If this continued, I was afraid that all the victims would starve to death. No wonder they would be so angry that they would attack the city gate.
.
Pei Yuanhao walked up to Hong Wenquan step by step: "Why don't you open the city gate?!"
"Back to the Lord—Back to Your Highness," Hong Wenquan saw something was wrong with his posture, so he knelt down and said, "There are too many victims this time, and the food stockpiles in Yangzhou City are simply not enough. If they are really allowed to enter the city, there will probably be chaos.
Ah."
"If we don't let them enter the city, there will be no chaos?"
"This——"
Before he could say anything, Pei Yuanhao suddenly kicked him: "Asshole!"
Hong Wenquan was kicked to the ground. Everyone around him was shocked and hurriedly wanted to step forward. However, one look at the situation in front of him and knew that Pei Yuanhao was very angry and did not dare to say anything. After all, soldiers have some sense.
, seeing that Pei Yuanhao’s identity was not simple, he immediately fell to his knees.
At this time, I also got off the carriage and walked to Pei Yuanhao: "Your Highness."
