Rebirth of the eldest daughter

Chapter 1204 These people are pitiful and hateful

Chapter 1204 These people are pitiful and hateful

Liu Yao clenched his clasped hands.

Connected.

The opponent's conspiracy lines are completely connected.

They disguised themselves as refugees and sneaked into Luquan City, killing masters and robbing wealthy households in order to force Luquan City to passively defend.

And while they were waiting in line in Luquan City, they massacred the refugees who came to Luquan City to ask for help.

In this way, fellow refugees blamed all this on the officials of Luquan City.

Now people with ulterior motives are using this excuse to arouse the anger of the refugees.

This riot must be quelled today, otherwise the fire of anger will burn like a prairie fire.

However, it was definitely not feasible to push innocent officials and soldiers to die in order to appease the refugees.

The whole thing was directed at him.

So the way to break the situation lies with him.

But there was one thing he said was wrong, and it was not just directed at him.

The ultimate goal is also to become a general.

If something happens to him, how will the general who supports him react?

"Your Highness." At this time, Cheng Bi said, "Most of the people below are refugees. I am very familiar with the refugees. You only need to look at their expressions to know whether they are true or false."

"A true refugee can see a lot from his eyes, including despair, anger, unwillingness, grievance, longing, pain... and almost all the people underneath have such expressions."

"My slave's visual inspection shows that among these thousands of people, only a very small number are opponents. For example, those with loud voices, clear articulation, and those with normal thinking are all fake refugees."

Liu Yao was speechless.

These are the missing people.

He originally thought that the enemy would directly threaten them with these people.

But he still underestimated his opponent.

If he uses that method, if he chooses to side with the people, wouldn't it accomplish his personal/great cause? Make the people's hearts surrender to him?

Directly inciting the refugees to riot/chaos is a cruel move.

These refugees are really aggrieved, really resentful, and really angry.

As long as the opponent amplifies these emotions, they can call the refugees to deal with them directly.

It cannot be killed or suppressed.

There is a huge dilemma before us.

Yu Jianling looked at Director Cheng: "When you let the refugees into the city, didn't you even have this bit of common sense? How could you let so many fake refugees sneak in?"

Master Cheng was speechless.

He offered no explanation.

Yu Jianling still wanted to question, but Liu Yao stopped him: "Your Majesty, please be patient. The reason is that this matter is not the time to find out."

"Snapped!"

"Crack...crack...crack..."

Countless balls of mud were thrown up.

"Prince Dog! Why don't you speak?!"

"Is this your decision?!"

"Is this how the court handles things?!"

"So those people before had no choice but to die in vain, right?!"

"You still buried them on the mountain, and the grave mound is facing you now! Aren't you afraid of nightmares?!"

"..."

Master Cheng also wanted to speak to comfort him, but Liu Yao stopped him:

"Needless to say, they won't listen. Unless the flood problem is solved now, there is food in front of them, and all of you whom they regard as murderers have been killed, then nothing you say will be of any use."

Chief Cheng was a little at a loss: "What should we do?"

Liu Yao only replied with a few words: "Wait, wait some more."

The refugees under the city did not hear Liu Yao's reply for a long time, and they became more and more agitated.

The anger buried deep in his heart was completely ignited.

"It seems! This is the attitude of the court!"

"Folks! This is the court's attitude!"

"If we don't fight for ourselves, there will be a few more graves on that mountain in a few days! We will be buried in them!"

"Instead of being killed by them! It's better to fight for a way to survive!"

"..."

It was a complete mess down there.

Master Cheng's book was also confused: "Your Highness, you can't kill your fellow villagers!"

Liu Yao remained silent.

Chief Cheng was panicked: "Your Highness, what are you waiting for?"

Yu Jianling answered for Liu Yao: "Master Cheng, since someone deliberately provokes the anger of the refugees, it means that they have a purpose."

"Your Highness is waiting for those people to reveal their purpose. Only by knowing their purpose can we deal with it better."

Master Cheng lowered his head: "But I feel that they are here for Your Highness."

Not long after he finished speaking, the noisy voices below gradually became unified.

"Kill Liu Yao to sacrifice to heaven!"

"Kill Liu Yao to sacrifice to heaven!" "Kill..."

Liu Yao's expression remained calm as he listened to the voice below: "Master Cheng, do you think they are pitiful?"

Master Cheng looked down and spoke slowly: "The elderly, women, half-grown children, and children... these are all vulnerable groups and deserve more care and love. Your Highness, they are pitiful."

Liu Yao asked again: "Do you think they are hateful?"

Master Cheng nodded helplessly: "Hateful, they only know how to live. In the face of survival, human nature has been defeated by beast/nature. At this moment, they are hateful."

Liu Yao nodded: "Whether they are pitiful or hateful, they have only one identity, and that is our people in Dongling."

"A child and a people are all precious, and as we stand on the tall building built with their blood and bones and stand high above them, we have the obligation to care for them."

Master Cheng was shocked: "Your Highness, you are trying to... don't put yourself in danger! Your Highness!"

Liu Yao made a decision loud and clear: "Since they attribute their anger to me, only I can solve this dilemma. Master Cheng, open the city gate."

Yu Jianling stopped Liu Yao who was walking down: "Your Highness, is there nothing we can do..."

He used interrogative sentences but in a declarative tone.

Presumably these so-called "missing" people were not kidnapped, but bewitched.

In the past few days, they have been brainwashed, leaving only desperate and hungry bodies, artificially and deliberately filled with hatred.

What do you need an explanation for?

Asking for a fair explanation is all an excuse.

The refugees below the city have already rioted.

Unless they are killed, force cannot suppress them.

Even if they killed the executioners in Luquan City who they regarded as drawing swords and wielding them against the refugees, it would not be enough to quell this anger.

There is no way, the current predicament belongs to His Highness Ninth Prince.

If the general is here, there is still some chance.

But the general was not there.

Liu Yao nodded: "Your Majesty, don't forget what I told you."

After saying that, Liu Yao walked down the tower resolutely.

Cheng Bi held the sword and followed him with weak steps.

Master Cheng watched Liu Yao go down and reached out to stop Yu Jianling: "Your Majesty, during the famine, people's fear and anger spread faster than the plague."

"If Your Highness does not go, if today's riots cannot be quelled, the counties in the north of the Yangtze River will start from Luquan, and riots will break out one after another."

Yu Jianling closed his eyes: "But someone is obviously instigating this matter and targeting His Highness!"

Master Cheng said loudly: "Then your Highness must go too! These are the people of Dongling, the people of the Liu family. Your Highness is the prince, and he has unavoidable responsibilities and responsibilities!"

Yu Jianling looked deeply at Mr. Cheng, his vigilance was obvious.

Master Cheng understood the meaning in Yu Jianling's eyes, but he had no explanation.

His muddy and old eyes looked at the crowd of heads underneath, showing a trace of sadness.

And at this time.

The refugees below the city were already red-eyed.

Their eyes were split open, and they were holding sticks in their hands and broken knives they picked up from nowhere.

Some carried hoes, and others raised hatchets.

Without exception, they all picked up their weapons and began to squeeze towards Luquan City like crazy.

Some people even picked up children and shouted frantically: "Rather than die at the hands of the enemy later, it is better to help them escape now!"

Someone concurred with a distorted expression: "If you keep the old and weak people who can't be beaten, they will only be a drag. Why don't you dedicate yourself to our bloodbath in Luquan!"

As a result, their unyielding anger turned to the unsteady children and the skinny, rickety old man.

Someone has already raised a hatchet and shouted at the top of his lungs: "You don't have to suffer anymore, this will help you escape!"

After the words fell, those old and young who had no resistance at all were attacked by them.

Their eyes were red and they had already lost their rationality.

He suffered from poverty and illness in these years, faced conscription and taxes in these years, and dared not speak out his anger towards the imperial court in these years.

All turned into weapons in their hands, and the blades were swung at the weak.

Euphemistically called liberation.

"Bah!"

A snowflake splashed, staining the executioner's cheek red.

It also completely annihilated the last trace of their humanity.

They are crazy, their faces are ferocious, and they are about to cut them down with their swords!

The old man who was chopped down let out a cry of pain, but it was quickly drowned out by the crazy sound.

Everyone is no different from that beast.

"stop!"

At the same time as a light scolding sounded, a sword was thrown from the slowly opened city gate.

The sword knocked over the assailant's weapon.

When everyone looked at them, they saw a man in simple black clothes and a girl with a face as pale as paper.
