Chapter 163 Scholar’s ​​Petition
As soon as he went out, Qin Huaiyu met Wang Xing who came in a hurry.

"Is something wrong?" Qin Huaiyu asked aloud.

"Come and wake up the young master. Breakfast has been prepared in the second hall, so..."

"I won't have breakfast for now."

Qin Huaiyu shook his head and said, "I have something urgent here. Please tell my great-uncle that I will explain to him when I come back."

"Yes." Wang Xing lowered his head and responded.

"By the way, find someone to take me to the General's Mansion."

Qin Huaiyu said.

Wang Xing quickly appointed a servant and asked him to take Qin Huaiyu to the general's mansion.

Wang Xing himself went to report the news to Luo Yi.

"Going to the General's Mansion?" Luo Yi knelt down on the couch and was eating breakfast slowly.

"Yes."

Wang Xing said: "Young Master seems to be very anxious, as if something has happened."

"What happened has nothing to do with us."

Luo Yi put down the chopsticks in his hand, looked at Wang Xing and said, "We are imprisoned lambs now. Lambs have to do what lambs should do. Baring teeth is not our task."

"Yes, my lord."

…………

In the early morning, the streets are already full of vendors setting up stalls.

Qin Huaiyu's reputation has spread in Youzhou City in the past two days. Some good people even drew a portrait of Qin Huaiyu for those who still don't know what Qin Huaiyu looks like to identify him.

Walking on the street, Qin Huaiyu saw some people looking at him strangely.

There is fear, reverence, and curiosity...

As we walked far away, the looks not only did not decrease, but became more numerous.

Finally, Qin Huaiyu couldn't bear it any longer. He grabbed a scholar who was looking at him and asked, "No, brother, why are you looking at me like this?"

"Hello, General Qin."

The scholar was startled, and then said hurriedly: "We are really curious about General Qin's appearance, and impressed by your majesty and demeanor, our minds are blank..."

This man is pretty good at talking, Qin Huaiyu thought to himself.

"I have something to look at."

Qin Huaiyu shook his head and said: "I am also a mortal, carrying a head on two shoulders."

"It's different."

When the scholar heard this, he suddenly became excited.

"We Youzhou people have been living in the shadow of the Cui family for more than a day or two!"

"For so many years, you, General Qin, are the only one who dares to stand up in front of this behemoth of the Cui family. This is like opening up a blue sky above the heads of us Youzhou people!"

"Your sentence, 'Er salary and salary, the people support the people, the people are easy to abuse, but the heaven is difficult to bully', it has become a bright light guiding the hearts of scholars in Youzhou!"

The scholar became more and more excited as he talked, looking at Qin Huaiyu as if he saw the true god coming.

The people around him also echoed: "Yes, this scholar is right."

"General Qin is a good man, but it's a pity that he came to the wrong place."

"Yes, General Qin should leave quickly, don't waste your life here."

Some older people kept whispering persuasion.

They couldn't bear to see a good official with a benevolent heart die in Youzhou in vain.

"Everyone, fellow citizens."

Qin Huaiyu raised his hand and shouted: "Fellow folks, please listen to me!"

The voices of the common people were not particularly loud to begin with. They were afraid that the Cui family would come over to deal with them if they made a big fuss. However, it was difficult to control their emotions for a while, and it became particularly noisy when there were too many people talking.

"I, Qin Huaiyu, have already felt the thoughts of you fellow villagers."

"But I'm sorry, I can't leave!" Qin Huaiyu said with a smile.

"Although I am not an imperial envoy, I am an official of the Tang Dynasty and a lord of the Tang Dynasty!"

"But right now, the people of our Tang Dynasty are suffering, but the officials in Youzhou turn a blind eye and turn a deaf ear to it. What does this mean?"

Following Qin Huaiyu's indignant words, the eyes of the people gradually turned red.

They are also angry at those officials who help the tyranny!

"Youzhou is not under my rule, but we are all subjects of the Tang Dynasty!"

"When an official does not make decisions for the people, it is better to go home and sell sweet potatoes!"

Qin Huaiyu's popular statement most resonated with the people present.

"well said!"

Especially the young scholar who was pulled by Qin Huaiyu said excitedly:

"Ning Caichen, a young student, admires the general's righteousness. Please accept my respect!"

Qin Huaiyu, who was originally so excited that he almost believed it, was almost put off by this name.

Why did an undead knight appear now?

However, Qin Huaiyu still reacted, quickly helped Ning Caichen up, and said seriously: "This is what I should do."

"I wonder where the general is going?"

Ning Caichen said seriously: "Although the young man has little talent and little knowledge, he still has a lot of passion. He is willing to follow the general, denounce the Cui family, and bring justice to the people of Youzhou!"

"I'm coming too!"

"And I!"

Many, many people came forward.

Most of these people are young scholars full of enthusiasm. They usually give advice and inspire writing, and their enthusiasm has not yet been wiped out by the ruthless reality.

Looking at these young scholars who stood up without hesitation, Qin Huaiyu said with a face filled with joy and emotion:

"I, Qin Huaiyu, am ashamed to accept your thoughts."

"But my trip here is very dangerous. If I am not careful, I will be in a place of eternal disaster. You guys should just retreat!"

However, in the face of Qin Huaiyu's persuasion to retreat, these scholars not only did not leave, but also stepped forward without hesitation. Everyone's face was filled with fearlessness, and their eyes were burning with endless fire.

"I am willing to follow the general!"

"Mountain of swords and sea of ​​fire, duty bound!"

Faced with this situation, Qin Huaiyu was moved to tears, and his body became weak involuntarily.

Just before Qin Huaiyu collapsed to the ground, a group of people rushed forward and helped Qin Huaiyu to prevent him from falling to the ground.

"We are all doing this voluntarily."

Ning Caichen hurriedly said: "We have studied the books of sages so hard to stick to the right path in the world. Even if we die now, we will devote ourselves to the righteousness. Even if we die, we will have no regrets!"

"Yes, General Qin, don't blame yourself."

"No one can touch General Qin's finger before Xiaosheng falls today!"

This group of scholars spontaneously surrounded Qin Huaiyu and protected him in the middle.

But how can they understand.

Qin Huaiyu was not moved, but excited!
I was originally thinking about how to make a big fuss in the General's Mansion to cause a stir, but I didn't expect this opportunity to come to my door!
So many people gathered at the door of the General's Mansion to see what Cui Yuan should do!
Qin Huaiyu was proud in his heart, but he still looked a little ashamed and said: "After all, I am still a low-ranking official and I can't protect you. It's my fault!"

Hearing this, the group of scholars and the onlookers were even more moved.

Look, this is a good official serving the country and the people!

"Folks, we can't let General Qin go alone."

"Yes, let's go too!"

"Let's go, let's go together to build momentum for General Qin!"

The common people stopped doing business and swarmed towards the general's mansion, following Qin Huaiyu and the scholars.
