Sir, the Japanese are here, they are all murderous beasts, while the Japanese have not yet besieged the city, please Sir, please open the city gates quickly and let us big guys get out of the city and run for our lives.”
“We want to go out, open the city gates and let us out.”
“Officer, know who our master is, our master Jingnan one of the five great Long family fifth master, sensible you quickly open the city gate, in the future our fifth master will have a generous reward, gold, silver, jewellery, beautiful maidservant little lady, you can’t be spared.”
After the city gates closed, the people who gathered in front of the gates to flee the city were emotional and coercive, asking Liu Dazhou and the others to open the gates, and let them out of the city to flee the city while it was only the first Japanese invaders that appeared at the east gate, and had not yet besieged the city.
“Folks, it’s not that I don’t open the city gate, but it’s not safe outside now, the Japanese are killing and looting outside the city, if we leave the city now, we will undoubtedly bump into the Japanese’s sword. Our Jingnan County city is high and thick, easy to defend and difficult to attack, as long as we work together to defend the city, the Japanese will not be able to break through the city, now stay in the city is the best choice. Moreover, the Japanese front line has already arrived at the city, if we open the city gate now, if the Japanese take the opportunity to touch the city, the people of the city will all suffer.”Liu Dazhu and the others firmly blocked in front of the city gate, shook their heads vigorously, and explained bitterly.
The bitter persuasion of Liu Dagger and the others was not accepted by the crowd, and the crowd booed as soon as the words fell.
“Everyone don’t listen to him, the dog fart city is high and thick, easy to defend, the dog fart staying in the city is the best choice. Let’s not talk about the distant ones, let’s just talk about the close ones, it’s only been how many years, our Jingnan County City has been broken by the Japanese twice.”
“That’s right, I’ve personally experienced it once, and I even received a knife in my back, but I was lucky to survive. This county town is simply not resistant to fighting, it’s like an eggshell, it’ll break with a single blow.”
“If we stay in the city now, won’t we become turtles in a jar? When the Japanese invaders break through the city, we’ll have no place to run but to watch the Japanese invaders come and chop off our heads.”
“I’m still young, I haven’t married my wife yet, I don’t want to die, quickly open the city gates and let us out.
“You want to die, don’t drag me to the back, I want to go out, let me go out, oooh oooh, let me go out …….”
The people were getting more and more agitated, roaring and crying, unable to stop pushing and shoving Liu Dazhou and the others, demanding to open the city gates.
“There are more and more Japanese pirates outside ……”
I do not know who shouted, like a drop of cool water dropped in a boiling hot frying pan, the people immediately exploded, more emotional, punching, kicking, hand pinching and scratching Liu Dazhou and other magistrates, demanding to open the city gate.
“Stand back! Without the order of the county honourable, you may not open the city gates without permission, those who disobey the order will be killed without amnesty!”
Liu Dazhou and the others were like a canoe in the wild tide of the sea, and had to pull out their waist swords to maintain order.
“Bah! Those who have the right to be rich have all run away, leaving us here to be bait for them and delay time for them to escape ……”
“The county government’s Li Da Li Dian Shi was the first to run away with his family, I saw it with my own eyes, the county’s big families also followed and ran away several, why don’t you close the city gate when they ran away, and wait for them all to run away, and then you close the city gate! You want us to stay in the city as bait, don’t you?”
“Only the officials are allowed to set fires, not the people! Why should the officials be allowed to leave the city, but not us.”
“Open the gates and let us out!”
Under the pressure of the Japanese invaders approaching the city, the people were agitated and gathered like a monstrous flood, sweeping Liu Dazhu and the others, shaking Liu Dazhu and the others and threatening to capsize in a moment.
“Quickly look, who is that coming down the street! Isn’t that the Prefecture Honour’s Lord?”
“The Prefectural Honour is here!!!”
Just then, the sharp-eyed people saw Zhu Pingan striding down the street in his official uniform and couldn’t help but shout loudly. Their voices attracted the crowd, and when the people heard that the County Honour’s Lord was coming, they turned their heads to look, temporarily forgetting about the sweeping onslaught on the city gates. This reduced the pressure on Liu Dazhu, who was on the verge of tipping over, and Liu Dazhu took the opportunity to command the magistrates to pile up bricks and stones behind the city gates to block them.
It was indeed Zhu Pingan who had come.
In the sight of the crowd: Zhu Pingan was dressed in an official uniform, carrying a quilt on his back, tied to his chest with a rope, carrying a long sword in his hand, striding, all the way to the direction of the city gate ……
Umm, this look of the county’s great lord looks so familiar ah?
People looked at Zhu Pingan, then looked down at themselves, and then twisted their heads to look at the people around them, heh, but it doesn’t look familiar, this county honourable lord’s look is the same as ours ah, it’s all the standard look of fleeing from a disaster.
That’s right.
Zhu Pingan’s outfit is indeed similar to that of the people fleeing the disaster, and most of the people fleeing the disaster in front of the city gate are carrying quilts and baggage on their backs. It can be said that quilts are one of the necessary equipment for fleeing, and there is no need to worry about freezing at night if you have a quilt.
Seeing the image of Zhu Pingan, people were both excited and angry.
People were excited because the magistrate had fled the city, and they could follow him out of the city to escape.
People are angry that the governor is abandoning the city to flee for his life! Nonsense are this shape, with the burning arse to the city gate this run, this is not fleeing what!!!! As the parent of Jingnan County, as the guardian of Jingnan County, the Japanese haven’t even besieged the city yet, but the governor is abandoning the city to run for his life! Bah! This is the parent official of the people of Jingnan! Whenever there’s danger, they run for their lives.
We’re so unlucky to have met such an official!
Alas!
Poor us.
Oh, no!
We’ve been praising you lately! We were blinded by your release of a few prisoners under false pretences of benevolence, and your solving of a small unsolved case by a blind cat meeting a dead rat, and failed to see the true face of your scummy dog official! Blah blah blah!
The people in front of the city gate hole huddled together ready to leave the city to flee for their lives with a mixture of excitement and anger in their hearts, lamenting.
“The county dignitary is fleeing for his life with a quilt on his back, why don’t you open the city gates!”
“No that hanzi, didn’t you say that you won’t open the city gate without the order of the county honourable, now it’s good, the county honourable is here, and he’s also going to leave the city to flee for his life, what else do you have to say, what are you still standing there for, why don’t you still open the city gate quickly.”
“Why don’t you open the city gates quickly, the Prefectural Governor is also fleeing for his life!”
When the time comes, we will scold this dog official severely, now that the Japanese invaders are approaching the city, it’s still important to run for your life. The people in front of the city gate hole gathered their excitement and anger and turned their heads, shouting at Liu Dazhou and the others, urging Liu Dazhou and the others to open the city gate. The sound of the people’s converging voices was as loud as thunder and as surging as a tsunami.
