The road of the farmer's fortune and the imperial examination

Chapter 1013 Close the city gate
"No! My lord, we can't go to Yingnan Mansion, you can't watch us die!"

Someone yelled sadly, and the rest responded one after another.

not good!Yang Chaoying saw that these victims were unwilling to go to Yingnan Mansion, so she might take this opportunity to rush into the city, because the victims who were originally behind had already crowded towards the city gate.

He was ruthless and took a few steps back, "Quick! Close the city gate!"

As soon as the soldiers got the order, they rushed forward with their long guns.Holding the spear horizontally to stop the victims who were squeezing in, the rest of the people took the opportunity to push the city gate.

Yang Chaoying on this side jumped anxiously, and Hu Maoshen on the Changtian Mansion's side was also suffering and hating deeply.

Looking at the angry villagers in front of him, Hu Mao swallowed deeply.

In the face of major events of life and death, the common people would not take him as an official seriously.

If he said something inappropriate, the villagers would have to beat him up to vent their anger.

"Don't worry, I'm not letting you leave, it's just that it's not the time yet. I have already sent letters to the surrounding prefectures, asking them to prepare to settle you down."

Hu Maoshen dare not tell the truth, can he say that those prefectures are not willing to accept you?If that's the case, it's possible to be beaten to death today.

With so many people taking action, if they were beaten to death, they could only count themselves as unlucky. How would the court hold them accountable?
"Then when do we have to wait? Those villages far away from the river are safe for their lives, but those of us who are close are panicking! I have seen that the river embankment has loosened again in the past few days. If it collapses again, we people But they are all going to die. I don’t want to die, let alone my baby.”

The man carrying the burden was very excited. He finally gave birth to a son. When the son was still young, he encountered a flood.

If he didn't escape, the river embankment would be crossed again. Not only would he die, but his precious son would not survive.

"My lord, don't fool us. You said it won't be the time, but we have been waiting for a long time. Seeing that the embankment is about to collapse again, we can't afford to wait."

The villagers are worried, who is not afraid of death?How dare they stay in Changtian Mansion again?

Even if there are villages far away from the river in Changtian Mansion, they can be counted with one hand, and those villages cannot accommodate so many people.

"I also know that you are anxious, but other state capitals are not ready yet, and you will not be able to enter the city gate even if you go."

Taking in disaster victims is a lot of harm. If you don't make complete preparations, how can you easily take over refugees.

"Why don't you let us enter the city gate? We have officials to guide us, why can't we go in after paying copper coins?"

Some villagers were already impatient with what Hu Maoshen had to say, they kept telling them to wait, and they didn't want them to leave at all.

"Let's go! Let's go to Hangtian Mansion right now. Even if we can't enter the city, it's better than waiting here to die."

"Yes! We can't wait to die, let's go! I don't believe that the court will ignore us. Those officials will only protect each other, and don't care about our life or death!"

One of the men was particularly angry. He looked at Hu Maoshen's eyes with anger erupting.

Such an appearance filled with righteous indignation, coupled with the instigation of words, the villagers who had calmed down immediately became excited again.

Seeing that everyone was walking out with their burdens on their backs, the man quickly hid himself among the villagers, his eyes rolling around.

Seeing that the villagers did not listen to his advice, Hu Mao took a quick look around and found that only five yamen servants were there, so he could only shake his head and sigh.

Helpless, most of the yamen servants in Changtian Mansion died, and the rest were also sent out.Now there are only five people around him who can stop the villagers. How can such a few people stop these villagers?
It seems that it is useless for him to stay in Changtian Mansion any longer. Even the villagers in this village are unwilling to wait any longer, so the situation in other villages is not much better.

That being the case, he might as well go to Hangtian Mansion to preside over the overall situation.With so many people pouring into Hangtian Mansion, Hangtian Mansion is going to be in chaos.

Just when he wanted his followers to pack up their things and leave this place, a yamen servant ran over to report in a panic behind him.

"My lord! It's not good, part of the river embankment has collapsed again, and the water has spread, flooding several villages. Let's get out of here quickly, and we won't last long here."

"What?" Hu Mao was shocked, he didn't expect it to be so fast.

"Look! We were not allowed to leave before, but fortunately we have already packed our bags. Otherwise, the loss of property would be small, and we would have lost our lives."

"Quick! Let's stop dawdling, let's go! Maybe this place will be flooded soon."

After speaking, the villagers carried their burdens on their backs, took the whole family with them, and rushed out of the village as if fleeing.

Hu Maoshen only felt that his legs were weak and he couldn't walk. "Which villages are they? Are there casualties?"

"They are all the villages near the river. After you came, we have already started to evacuate the people. However, some people are hard to leave their homeland, so there must be casualties. But most of them escaped unharmed. We have limited manpower. , we can’t care about those stubborn villagers.”

"My lord! We have to leave here quickly, those villagers will definitely go to Hangtian Mansion."

The yamen servant was also very panicked, who would dare to stay here now, of course he must run for his life!
Hu Mao gritted his teeth deeply and said, "Let's go! Let's go to Hangtian Mansion too!"

Gu Chengyu woke up after sleeping for more than an hour, because Ming Mo had already found out the news.

"Ding Shiliu pays homage to your lord!" Ding Shiliu bowed and looked at Gu Chengyu's tired face.

Gu Chengyu nodded, "You have worked hard these days, but the flood is of great importance, and you have to work hard for a while."

"My lord is really too small, this is all the job of a villain!"

Ding Shiliu hurriedly replied that they were just servants, and the adults had already respected them a lot, so they couldn't live without knowing their blessings.

"What's the situation of the state capitals near the Tianya River now? Please tell me in detail."

Gu Chengyu nodded, impatiently asking about the current situation.

"Return to my lord! Villagers from several villages have already gone to Hangtian Mansion one after another, and the first batch of them has already arrived. It's just that they were stopped outside the city by the prefect of Hangtian Mansion and are not allowed to enter!"

Gu Chengyu frowned upon hearing this, "What's going on? How many people were there in the first batch? How did Yang Chaoying appease the victims? Was there a riot?"

Didn't Hu Maoshen discuss it with Yang Chaoying?Why were the victims stopped outside the city when they went to Hangtian Mansion?
Gu Chengyu thought for a while, maybe the two hadn't reached an agreement yet.

"It's just the villagers of one village, but there are many villagers in this village, about two to three hundred people. They gathered outside the city gate of Hangtianfu and refused to leave. Mr. Yang persuaded for a while, and finally saw that the villagers seemed to be forced to enter the city, so they had to close it temporarily. The city gate is only allowed to go out but not to enter."
