Chapter 49: Popular desire

The magistrate Tao panicked when he saw Xie Linlang!
How is this possible? !
He obviously sent two hundred people to guard the city gate, and waited for Xie Linlang to come and take her down. There were fifty people around her. She and the prince were only that big. They didn't look like martial arts masters, so why did they come in like this? Up?
Also, didn't he guard fifty arrests outside the palace! Can't even stop a teenager, are they trash? !
As if responding to Tao County Order’s question, the ground seemed to tremble in the next second, and only a few hundred, oh no, thousands of workers rushed in with the working guy!
They shouted as they rushed! Vigorous, passionate!
Obviously before, they were like slaves and did not dare to breathe in front of County Majesty Tao, but today, they are just like taking bile medicine. As long as the magistrate Tao dared to show up, they would rush over and beat them!
That posture, let alone two hundred officers and soldiers, fifty arrested quickly, even if another five hundred came, it was absolutely impossible to resist!
Among them, several young men in fast-catching clothes were pulled aside and scolded by their parents!
"Smelly boy! Are you stupid? The new county magistrate says to increase your father's wages and reduce work hours, how can you help that evil county magistrate! You are mad at your parents!"
Those catchers are going to be stupid. Some of them talk back and are dragged aside by their parents. Apart from anything else, they will be beaten by men and women.
"If you are still facing that corrupt official, don't come back! Lao Tzu shall not have given birth to your son!"
Even the magistrate Tao's confidant was pulled aside by the children who rushed in, speaking with earnestness.
"Father! Quickly give up! The new county magistrate said, he will only hold Tao County magistrate and Master Liu responsible, and no one else will be investigated! What else do you think? Do you really want to kill imperial officials like Tao County magistrate? , Desperate End of the World? Such a vicious person from County Order Tao, who knows if he will attack the people around him in the future? There is no future with him!"
As for the other parents who did not show up, they were "disciplined" by others.
All in all, the county magistrate Tao was stunned when he looked at this group of people who were more fierce than robbers!
He didn't expect that someone who kneeled at his feet before and could step on him with his foot would one day dare to oppose him!
And it's not one or two, it's very possible that the whole city is reversed!
Otherwise, his confidant’s family will come over...Even the arrest is like this, not to mention the officers and soldiers who guarded the city before. Most of them are children from poor families in villages outside the city, and Xie Linlang is from From outside the city.
When she entered the city, she directly invited the parents of the officers and soldiers to help out. Where would the officers and soldiers dare to stop? I am afraid that their fingers will be chopped off by their parents before they touch Xie Linlang! Can't stop it at all?
After those people entered the city, they shouted people everywhere to help out, especially the workers who went out to work before dawn. They were urged.
Humans are creatures that are easily agitated, and they like to follow the crowd, especially the various benefits Xie Linlang promised. In addition, Tao County Order is really unpopular, so a fire of resistance, instantly ignited a prairie fire, and now this One scene!
Suddenly, county magistrate Tao hid back while feeling that the situation was gone!
Although he was afraid of rebellion, he still had the chance to win. After all, the soldiers and horses of Xiangcheng listened to him. He is the absolute authority!
But he never thought that his soldiers were raised by his parents, and even if he listened to him, he would not be able to abandon his parents. Even if there is no parent or mother, it will be no match for popular grievances!
And the benefits Xie Linlang promised without a word was actually exploiting him!
What cut work hours, double the monthly silver? Is that tin workshop hers? That obviously belongs to him!
As a result, Xie Linlang used his things to sell favors and let his parents turn against him. What is the reason?
Is it true that scholars can be so shameless on this?
After persuading him by force, the county magistrate Tao gradually had no one to protect him. In the end, those henchmen also put down their weapons and succumbed to the shovel in the hands of the workers.
Seeing the yard gradually calmed down, Xie Linlang walked out calmly. She looked at the magistrate Tao who shivered in the corner, shaking her head and sighed.
"Tsk tusk, it's so pitiful, don't worry, after you go, Xiang Cheng will definitely flourish under my management..."
As she said, she leaned over and said in the ear of the county magistrate Tao, "As for the money you saved...I have found it, it's quite a lot! Don't worry, I will spend it for you, and make sure that none of them will be spent. waste!"
Originally, the county magistrate Tao was numb, but when he talked about his hard-earned silver, he got excited!
He shouted, "You won't succeed! Even if I copy all the money to the court, I won't give it to you!"
Upon hearing this, Xie Linlang squinted his eyes while letting people tie Tao County magistrates, and glanced at the imperial commissioner who had soft legs on the wall to stand up and shook his fan.
"Don't worry, all the money in Xiangcheng is my money. Even if it is an imperial commissioner, I can't take it away."
After finishing speaking, she strode towards the imperial commissioner despite the wailing of Tao County magistrate who was being dragged away.
In fact, Xiaoxi sent him a letter before and said that the magistrate Tao was not detained, but was placed under house arrest in the government office. She knew something was going to happen.
However, she did not rush over, but sent people to investigate the situation while continuing to clean the river.
After the river was cleared and the investigators came back, she took people to the village and knocked on the door from door to door.
Before outside the city, the news that the county magistrate Tao was arrested and the benefits she promised to the common people circulated in every household, but they have not yet reached the city.
Originally because of the people who were so happy that they couldn't sleep, when the poisonous magistrate dared to rebel and wanted to kill the imperial servant and Xie Linlang, how could this be done?
If Xie Linlang is killed, not only will they not get the benefits she promised, but they will continue to be exploited by the Tao county magistrate. How can they tolerate this gap?
So Xie Linlang took the lead and encouraged them, they quietly picked up the guy and went out.
In the dark night, the torches in their hands gradually formed a row of dots, and finally merged into a long dragon, heading to the gate of the city mightily!
Originally, after listening to the news and knowing that there was an ambush at the gate of the city, the officers and soldiers did not understand Xie Linlang's approach.
Although these people in front of us are also hardworking, most of them are old and weak women and children. They usually don't even dare to breathe when they meet officials. Can such a mob help her deal with the soldiers of the county magistrate Tao?
Xie Linlang smiled and pointed at herself when she knew their concerns.
"Don't forget, I am also an official!"
The common people are afraid of officials and dare not rebel, but if one official fights another, they only need to choose to stand in line.
And whoever stands, the torch in the night is the best proof, the people's will can be like a broken bamboo, and the direction is invincible!
