Return of the Swallow

Pang Xiao's voice was not very loud this time, but every word and sentence was sonorous and forceful, piercing Yang Zhifu's eardrum domineeringly.

"As an official, do you only seek fame and fortune? At the beginning, the Holy Majesty led us to overthrow the fatuous and tyrannical regime of Beiji, not for our own selfish desires, but for the people of the world. Zhifu Yang is not a dull person. ambition, why not start by doing something for the common people?"

Yang Zhifu was not convinced by Pang Xiao in his heart, but after today's confrontation, Yang Zhifu has fully realized the power of the person in front of him, he slapped him in the face in public, and in turn asked him to beg him to calm down The incident, up to now, although he was reprimanding him, the words he said were also to save him some face in front of the people.

He really wanted this face.

Therefore, Yang Zhifu covered his face in shame and wept and sighed: "Why do I want to rule the people so hard? But natural disasters and man-made disasters continue year after year, and it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice!"

Pang Xiao squinted his eyes.

The prefect Yang's words were beautiful, he picked himself up cleanly, but left the blame to the world, and indirectly shifted the responsibility to Jinshang.

Pang Xiao didn't care about Li Qitian, but he cared about the suffering of the common people. His first priority when he came to the south was to maintain stability. Once a war or civil uprising occurred, the people would be the only ones who would be unlucky in the end. Now it was so easy to quell the public grievances, and we couldn't make waves again because of Yang Zhifu's evasive words.

Pang Xiao turned to face the crowd, and said with a comforting smile: "Okay, folks, don't be sad, everyone, the magistrate has heard everyone's aspirations, arranged accommodation, arranged for everyone to work, ensured everyone's safety, severely punished Gao Wenyao , these prefects have agreed! Let’s let the prefects say a few words, shall we?"

Pang Xiao turned aside to avoid it, and handed over the scene to Yang Zhifu.

Prefect Yang coughed, how did he agree to this? This was clearly agreed by Pang Xiao on his behalf. But the matter has come to this point, Yang Zhifu has no other way, in order to prevent these vicious people from causing trouble again, he can only hold his nose to respond, and raise his hands to signal everyone to be quiet.

"This government is not a person who is ignorant of the sufferings of the people. In fact, even if everyone did not come to find Gao Wenyao today, this government has long been displeased with his perverse behavior. The reason why he did not punish him severely was because of insufficient evidence some time ago, so it took a long time to investigate. This government intends to introspect and end him, but I didn't expect you to be one step ahead of this government."

Yang Zhifu wrinkled his nose, the smell of horse dung on his face was too pungent, but now he could only endure it, he just wanted to make a quick decision and turn the people's attention to other places as soon as possible.

Gao Dianshi was pressed to the ground, just now he heard that Pang Xiao wanted to deal with him,

He was already terrified. But there is still a glimmer of hope in my heart. Because the prefect Yang had talked to him, knowing that there was someone behind him, even if he wanted to come to the prefect Yang, he would not be willing to offend the person behind him.

But now Zhifu Yang obviously wants to use him to stop Youyou's mouth!

Gao Dianshi struggled anxiously, and shouted loudly: "My lord! You can't do this, I am..."

"Gag him up and take him down!"

"yes!"

The followers who had been beaten by the refugees for a long time had long been holding their breath. If it hadn't been for Gao Dianshi to make such a incident, why would they suffer such a crime with the Futai master? What's more, Gao Dianshi is domineering on weekdays, even those who follow him rarely don't get bored with him, it's just that he doesn't like to hurt his kindness on weekdays.

Everyone took orders immediately, grabbed a handful of dirt, stuffed it into Gao Dianshi's mouth, and lifted his hands with their hands behind their backs.

Gao Dianshi struggled desperately, wanting to vomit the mud out of his mouth, wanting to distinguish for himself loudly. But Yang Zhifu made up his mind to take him under the knife, how could he give him a chance to argue?

"Gao Dian Shi carelessly disregards human life, the evidence is solid, take it down and execute him immediately!" Yang Zhifu flicked his sleeves righteously, as if he was not covered in dirt all over his face, but was wearing an official robe in the hall.

"Good! Good! The prefect is wise!"

The common people were stunned for a moment, then jumped up and cheered loudly, the cheers of nearly a thousand people shook the surrounding courtyards and resonated. This is the first time that they, as the people at the bottom, risked their lives to fight and got the desired result.

No matter how aggrieved Zhifu Yang felt, he could not help showing a bit of complacency when facing the situation of the people. He seemed to have eaten honey in his heart, and even temporarily forgot the stench on his face.

Qin Yi quietly watched this for a while, and couldn't help but quietly stepped forward and stood beside Pang Xiao.

Pang Xiao's five senses are excellent, so he noticed Qin Yining's first step of walking, and when she walked to his side, he immediately grabbed her slightly cold fingers with his big hand, and held them tightly in his hand.

Although he didn't turn his head to look at her, but stared forward with a serious face and gratified eyes, but his hands were warm and dry, and he would playfully scratch Qin Yining's palm with his fingers from time to time, which made Qin Yining laugh out loud Come.

The two stood hand in hand in front of Pingnan Army and Jinghuwei, their warm appearance made people feel warm and envious when they saw it.

Standing at the corner of the wall, Yu Chiyan, who was deeply shocked, stared blankly at Qin Yining's side face, and had an urge to run away with face for a moment.

What is a complete defeat? That's what he is. He lost the throne of the country, lost his family, lost the hearts of the people, and he couldn't even get the heart of a little girl.

When Gu Shixiong saw Yu Chiyan standing there blankly and only focused on looking at Qin Yining, with a deeply shocked expression, Gu Shixiong felt even more disappointed in his heart. We have reached this juncture, isn't the overall situation the most important thing? How could he still be in the mood to think about women?

Gu Shixiong shook his head in frustration, the country is easy to change, but the nature is hard to change, unless his thoughts are completely eliminated, as soon as he sees the Qin family, the position of the country and the country in Yuchiyan's heart will immediately shift back.

Just as the two were thinking wildly, the people on the corner of the street rushed towards one direction nervously.

At that place, Gao Dianshi was pressed and knelt down on the ground, and an executioner raised the ghost knife high, and when Gao Dianshi was shaking violently and shaking his head, he slashed down fiercely.

Blood splattered on the opposite wall, which was the backyard wall of Gao Mansion. The warm and scarlet liquid melted the thin layer of snow on the ground, and the round head rolled to the side.

The servants of the Gao family, who had been climbing on the courtyard wall to check the situation, screamed in shock at this scene, and fell off the ladder all at once.

"It's not good, it's not good, the master was beheaded!"

The servants chatted back in a panic.

When Gao Jinshi heard this, he rolled his eyes and passed out.

The Gao family would never dare to open the door to argue with Yang Zhifu and the people no matter how crazy they are.

Everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief and cheered one after another. The joy was boiling, as if they had obtained the most precious treasure in the world. The laughter was in stark contrast to the loud cries in the Gao Mansion.

The magistrate Yang ordered the people around him to arrange for the people to eat—the porridge factory was empty, but they couldn’t let these people go hungry on New Year’s Eve. It's even worse now.

Seeing that the magistrate Yang had arranged everything in an orderly manner, Qin Yining quietly scratched Pang Xiao's palm.

Pang Xiao's big hand immediately grabbed her back, and bid farewell to Yang Zhifu: "Master Yang, farewell."

Prefect Yang turned around, the corner of his mouth twitching.

It was clear that he had entered the city without authorization, so instead of impeaching him, he had to thank them, and after thinking about it carefully, the conditions he agreed to were not voluntary at all, and he would fight wherever Pang Xiao pointed out. .

I can't express in words the feeling of thanking others after being used.

"Thank you, my lord, for your help. My lord, go slowly."

"Master Yang stay here."

Pang Xiao turned around and put his arms around Qin Yining's waist, put her on the horse's back, and then easily jumped and sat behind her. Pingnan Army and Jinghuwei also got on their horses one after another.

Seeing that Pang Xiao was about to lead the army to leave, the refugees shouted loudly: "Thank you, my lord! A good man will be rewarded with good things..."

nice guy?

Yang Zhifu's nose was crooked in anger, he stretched his face and turned to his subordinates: "You guys, hurry up and set up the porridge shed first, and go buy the food first."

After that, he left in a hurry.

There was no way, his body was dirty and his face was covered in horse manure. He might have to wash off a layer of skin to feel better.

Seeing a farce from the beginning to the end, Gu Shixiong did not see the result he had tried so hard to see, and the frustration and anger in his heart were already boiling.

"Pang, is it really lucky or a good plan?"

On the way back, Gu Shixiong couldn't help asking himself in a low voice.

Yu Chiyan was immersed in a feeling of melancholy, when she suddenly heard Gu Shixiong's voice, she was stunned for a moment, and after a long time, she gathered the cloak around her shoulders, buried her face in the white fox fur collar, and said in a low voice: "I guess it's true It must be luck." He chuckled again, "His luck is actually on Qin Shi. If he didn't know that Qin Shi was there, he wouldn't have come."

"Qin family, Qin family, why does the prince always think of Qin family?" Gu Shixiong was very upset by Yu Chiyan's lack of breath, but he couldn't get angry, so he could only hold back his anger and whisper, "If you come to Qin family, Why bring so many troops here? If it is said that this matter has something to do with the Qin family, I believe that their husband and wife are united."

Yuchiyan stared blankly at Gu Shixiong, her chaotic thoughts gradually became clear.

"So what happened this time, it's very likely that the surname Pang was playing tricks?"

Gu Shixiong nodded and said in a deep voice: "When things don't understand, you just need to analyze the incident and who will benefit in the end. Think about it, after such a big incident, the appearance of the surname Pang not only solved the problem, but also solved the problem. And let those ordinary people look at him differently, how much benefit has he gained?"

"That's the truth." Yu Chiyan said in a deep voice: "The surname Pang was a horrible person in our Dayan before, and the common people are not afraid of him, and even the country was destroyed because he led troops to besiege the city."

"But what about the people nowadays? Who still scolds him?" Gu Shixiong sighed, "This time, he took the opportunity to gain a firm foothold in the old capital. He was the one who picked up the bargain! I still don’t know how to explain this matter to the shopkeeper!”

Upon hearing the words "big shopkeeper", Yu Chiyan also frowned nervously.
