2154 Group Riots

It happened more than ten years ago, when Kou Dan was only a half-grown girl.

But because the incident was too shocking, almost all the people in the capital who have experienced it can still remember it.

You must know that the New Deal implemented by that official back then looked pretty good later on. At least, it helped the people solve a lot of problems, but later, this credit was given to others.

After listening to Kou Dan's description, Gu Xiaowan was also taken aback.

It turned out that Shu Lin wanted to imitate the incident more than ten years ago, so that Gu Ning'an would also receive the same punishment.

Gu Xiaowan didn't dare to stay for a moment. If Shu Lin really wanted to do this, what the people would do in the next moment would be to fight with the officers and soldiers.

However, how can the people who have no power to restrain the chickens resist those officers and soldiers with weapons? If someone deliberately finds fault, as long as they have weapons in their hands, the consequences will be disastrous.

Gu Xiaowan didn't dare to stay, and immediately ordered: "Kou Hai, go to Mr. Lin's mansion quickly to find Mr. Lin, and ask him to bring someone there as soon as possible!"

"Kou Dan, go to Wucheng Bingmasi to find Mr. Su and see what they do next? Just say what I said, don't bring any sharp weapons, only a shield."

"Ah Mo, Ah Zuo, let's go to the household department, take a good look at the few people who took the lead in making trouble, keep an eye on them, and tell them not to act rashly."

Seeing that Gu Xiaowan and the others were leaving, Gu Fangxi and Gu Xiaoyi were anxious to follow. Gu Xiaowan had no time to care about them now: "Auntie, Xiaoyi, don't go anywhere. There are many people there. If you go, if there is a physical accident Conflict, we don't care about you. You stay at home."

"Xiao Wan, Ning An... is there something wrong!" Gu Fangxi followed behind and asked with great distress.

The movements of Gu Xiaowan's feet were quick. Although she didn't stop, she said firmly: "Auntie, don't worry, I will definitely bring Ning An back safely!"

After speaking, he left Qingyuan without looking back, and went to the household department.

When we arrived at Hubu, the carriages could not get in hundreds of meters away. The streets were densely packed with people, and the water around Hubu was blocked. Not to mention the carriages, even individuals could not get in.

With so many people, if something really happened, Gu Ning'an would have no chance of turning over in his life.

Gu Xiaowan asked Ah Mo to park the carriage aside, and immediately found the nearest restaurant, and several people went upstairs to have a look.

Seeing the huge gate of the household department, apart from a few guards carrying knives, only Gu Ning'an was left explaining to them alone.

It's just that, the power is weak, no matter how Gu Ning'an explains, those people just don't listen.

Especially those who took the lead. Noisily, she didn't listen to Gu Ning'an's explanation at all.

"Young man, the hair on your mouth is not fully grown, what can you say? Ah...you can give us an explanation!"

"My servant, Gu Ning'an..."

"Gu Ning'an, he is the number one scholar in the new department. I heard that he was the one who proposed the household registration system!" Someone in front shouted towards the back.

When the people behind heard it, they also yelled: "What kind of bullshit number one scholar, bullshit, a family of mud legs, I'm shit!"

Seeing the anger of the people, Gu Ningan was also very nervous, but he still bowed and said respectfully: "Fathers and folks, this matter is indeed something we did wrong. I have been checking the data and modifying the information. It will not be too long. In a matter of days, everyone’s household registration booklets will be ready to use! Trust me, it won’t take two days!”

"Two days? Damn! Can my mother wait for two days? Ah? My mother will die at any time. If I don't see her for the last time before she dies, I... I will fight you!"

"My business can't be done, and I lost several thousand taels of silver, how can you compensate me!"

"That patient of mine, if she dies, my doctor won't do it, and I'll just spend time with you!"

"Young man, you are too young, what kind of thing do you do? Look, now we have lost so much money, businessmen lose money, doctors can't cure patients, and mothers can't be filial if they die. Young people Man, you want to be struck by lightning!"

The few people standing in front of more than 200 people pointed at Gu Ning'an and scolded him one sentence at a time, which aroused public anger even more.

"That is, what kind of broken policy is to control us. We don't have enough to eat and we don't have enough clothes. You don't want to find a way to make us live a good life. You know how to play tricks on us all day long. You officials, you all It's a big corrupt official!"

Under the instigation of those people in front, the common people also shouted and shouted.

More than two hundred people spoke in unison, deafening.

If this incident of collective fighting occurs, the consequences will be disastrous.

At this time, a large number of people came towards this side, Gu Xiaowan looked sideways, and sure enough, she saw Su Mang riding a big horse, fully armed.

As for the guards following him, sure enough, each of them only carried a shield, and no other weapons at all.

Su Mang was sitting in the carriage commanding, and with a wave of his hand, the guards scattered spontaneously, carrying shields, and surrounded the two hundred people.

Surrounded by dark shields, the people were surrounded tightly.

Some of the timid ones were just encouraged to come here, and when they saw that the government also came to suppress them, they turned pale with fright and their calves became weak.

Since ancient times, the people have not fought against the government. Many of them are good people. They know that if they make trouble for no reason, they will not end well if they continue to fight with the government.

When the three leaders saw that the people they had brought all exposed

He showed fear, knowing that if he didn't take any action, these people might turn against him, so he hurriedly shouted: "Fathers and folks, do you see that we did something wrong? Even the government will send troops to suppress us. What did we do wrong? It was all done by their government. Now they have done something wrong, the officials protect each other, and even stabbed our innocent and poor people with knives. We are also human beings, and we are also the emperor's subjects. , How can we live in such a life! They simply don’t treat us as human beings! You say, they did something wrong and want to suppress us, do you agree or not?”
