The Prodigal Son’s Happy Life - Chapter 1026
[Chapter 1026: Don’t be impulsive!]
Zhou Chen smiled and said hurriedly: “Brother Zhao, what I just said is true. If you don’t believe it, you can send someone to follow me back to the city, and I will take you to see that gentleman!”
Zhao Rui has a sharp pair of eyes !
His eyes looked at Zhou Chen coldly without saying a word.
Seeing this scene, Zhou Chen seemed a little embarrassed and continued to persuade: “Brother Zhao, if any of what I just said is false.”
Before he could finish speaking, he saw Zhao Rui wave his hand and said leisurely: “I am too lazy to care about you. Is it true or not? What I want to see is the prefect. If the prefect doesn’t come, then it’s all empty talk. You can go back!”
After saying that, Zhou Chen didn’t even have a chance to continue talking and turned around and left. .
Seeing this scene, Zhou Chen sighed heavily and didn’t know what to do for a while.
I had to turn around and leave.
After returning to Jinzhou Fucheng, I met the prefect and explained the situation.
Both of them were silent. After thinking for a long time, they could only say: “Just take it one step at a time and ignore them. After a long time, they knew that nothing could be done and left naturally.”
Zhou Chen thought about it. I thought, this seemed to be the only way for now, so I nodded and said, “Yes, sir!”
After that, he continued for several days.
The capital city of Jinzhou is still sealed.
People in the city couldn’t get out at all, and people outside the city
had no way to come in, so they were directly stopped by Zhao Rui and others.
They didn’t know what happened in Fucheng, and they didn’t know how to deal with it, so they had no choice but to leave.
The time came four days later.
The people in Jinzhou City finally began to become restless.
In the north of the city, there is a vegetable market somewhere.
An aunt looked at the cabbage in front of her and said angrily: “Yesterday it was only one penny per catty, but today it has increased to five cents per catty. Why don’t you go and grab it!”
“Grab it? Could you please look around? Five cents per catty is already very cheap! Other stalls charge more than ten cents per catty! I sell it for five cents per catty, so I’m looking after my regular customers!”
“Shit! I know you’re selling cabbage, but those who don’t know think you’re selling gold!”
“I’m telling you the truth, these soldiers are still surrounding the city. Who knows if they will come in, who knows if they will come back. “
How long will the siege last? Sooner or later, the food in this city will be exhausted, and we have no place to get this cabbage. These five cents a pound are really cheap for you!”
I heard the stall owner mention the siege.
The aunt sighed heavily and cursed: “Oh, what a sin! What a shame, why did the city suddenly be surrounded? Tell me, if this continues, I don’t know how I will live my life!”
“Speaking of which, Also, I didn’t feel that these Qiu Ba were so powerful in the past. If something happened to me, it would be impossible without them.”
“That’s right, I always felt that these Qiu Ba were of no use at all, but now that I think about it, it’s nothing. “It’s more important than Qiu Ba.”
“Haha! Why do you still call me Qiu Ba when you know that he is important?”
“Hey, you said that the troops are stationed outside the city and the city guards are guarding the city. Who is going to take care of it?”
“Isn’t there a Jinzhou Health Center?”
“There are only a few people in the Jinzhou Health Center, I think it’s a bit confusing.”
“Don’t think about it, just sell our food in peace. I hope the court can send troops soon and get this matter settled as soon as possible, otherwise I don’t know how long it will take.”
After
he finished speaking, he suddenly heard a loud noise in the distance.
The people in the vegetable market turned around and suddenly found that on the city wall not far away, the city guards became nervous. They were holding weapons and hiding behind the city wall. They were all doing the same thing.
“What’s going on?”
“Those garrison soldiers aren’t going to attack, are they?”
“Really or not? Those garrison soldiers really have the courage?”
“What do you call this? When we suppressed bandits in the past, garrison troops were always in front. They are good at attacking cities. “
“What can we do? Those soldiers are not going to be like the bandits?”
“That’s not necessarily the case. You all know that the soldiers are filled with anger. “
When everyone heard this, their faces showed panic and they started talking loudly.
At this time, a horseman not far away suddenly rushed over and said loudly: “The prefect ordered everyone to go home. No one is allowed to come out without the prefect’s permission!”
After saying this, there was no pause at all. , and rushed forward again.
When everyone heard this, their hearts dropped.
It’s over!
Something big is really going to happen!
These people are not fools. When they see someone reporting the news, they naturally know that the garrison troops are restless.
At the same time, I felt even more terrified.
I just hope those city guards can hold on.
The people in this city had never thought that Qiu Ba, who they looked down upon the most before, would become their biggest support at this moment.
At this moment, in a daze, they suddenly understood.
It turns out that it’s not that Qiu Ba has no use at all, but because these Qiu Ba have done a good job and protected them, they feel that Qiu Ba has no use at all.
To their surprise, they were able to live in such a peaceful environment precisely because Qiu Ba, whom they usually looked down upon, protected them!
Zhou Chen on the city wall looked at Zhao Rui and others who were approaching the city. He frowned and said loudly: “Brother Zhao, don’t be impulsive. I have already reported everything you said to me that day to the magistrate! The
magistrate has also reported Report to the court, the court’s approval will only come out in the next few days. By then, the demands of Brother Zhao and the brothers may be realized. If he is impulsive now and makes a big mistake, then no one can save Brother Zhao. You!”
These words contained some threats and some dissuasion.
The purpose of moving the court out is to tell you, Zhao Rui, not to cause too much trouble. If this matter is really known to the court, you people will not get any good results.
But you
have to know that Zhao Rui can be prepared to fall into the trap early. He is a second-rate warrior with thousands of people under his command. How can he not get a bite to eat?
This is especially true when you become a pirate. Nowadays, maritime trade is so developed that even a captain in a military camp has heard about it. Being a pirate is no better than being a captain who is useless and imprisoned. ?
I am not afraid of the imperial court at all! Don’t even care!
So, he looked at Zhou Chen coldly and said loudly: “I come here this time for no other reason. I just want to see the prefect! I want to see you now!”
