“Quickly open the city gates, are you blind, can’t you see that the county’s honourable grand master is also going to leave the city to flee for his life, why don’t you quickly open the city gates …..?”
The voice of people urging to open the city gates, like a mountain call and a tsunami, deafening and shaking the city gates.
Liu Dazhou in the mountains and seas, firm as a rock, not moved, blocked in front of the crowd, not moving an inch.
However, the magistrates behind him are not so determined, they look at Zhu Pingan who is walking towards the city gate with a quilt on his back, and listen to the sound of the people shouting and whistling, they can’t help but hesitate, after hesitating for a while, someone goes up to Liu Dazhou and whispers to him, “Brother Liu, look, the county honourable sir is going to leave the city to escape, why don’t we open the city gate.”
“Bullsh*t!”Liu Dazhou sniffed, turned his head and stared at the big eyes of the bull with a glance, angrily scolded, “Less f*cking denigrate his lordship, my lordship is not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, how would he abandon the city and flee out of the city to escape from the city!”
“Heh! A boiled duck with a hard mouth. His Excellency the Prefecture has even come with a roll on his back, and still won’t admit it. If you know what’s good for you, just open the city gates quickly, what’s the matter, you’re still waiting for His Excellency the Prefectural Honour to ask you to open the city gates, that makes His Excellency the Prefectural Honour how disgraceful it would be, you’ve got to give His Excellency a step down.”
“Oh, right, right, right, your honour is not fleeing from the city, your honour is fleeing from the city to ask for help, right? As long as you open the city gates quickly, whatever you say will do, you are saying that the county honourable sir is carrying the bunk roll to repel the thieves will do ……”
People crowded in front of the city gate hole heard Liu Dazhou’s words, can not help but a burst of cold laughter, to Liu Dazhou sneered.
“Still not open is it, look, the county honourable gentleman has already come over.”
“Quickly, quickly make way for His Excellency, let His Excellency go to the city gate.”
Seeing Liu Dazhou being stubborn and not opening the door for whatever he said, people couldn’t help but make a burst of cynicism, it just so happened that Zhu Pingan had also come over, the people who had a lively mind were yelling while directing the crowd to leave a path for Zhu Pingan to go straight through the city gate hole to reach the city gate, making it convenient for Zhu Pingan, the county dignitary lord, to get to the city gate.
“Why should we give way to him, he’s a governor who doesn’t defend the city, he’s abandoned the city and fled for his life.”
“That’s right, such a dog official, why give him the right of way.”
Many people did not understand, they felt that Zhu Pingan such a dog official who abandoned the city and fled did not deserve them to give way.
“You’re stupid, do you still want to get out of the city! He is the governor, that stupid big man is stubborn, without the order of the governor not to open the city gates, now the governor is here, why don’t you quickly make way for him to go over and give the order to that stupid big man to open the city gates ah.”
The person with a lively mind couldn’t help but scold anxiously, lest they delay the opening of the city gates.
“Oh, oh, so that’s how it is, I’ll let, I’ll let, I’ll let, I have to let this road go.”
Those people who didn’t understand heard the words, and all of a sudden came to a realisation, and proactively gave way to the road.
The city gate hole that was originally blocked to the point of no return, instantly formed a path that could be used by one person to walk straight through the city gate.
“Great Master Governor, please, please.”
People looked at Zhu Pingan, who was walking quickly, and their eyes were glowing, just like seeing a walking key, not to mention how enthusiastic they were.
Coming.
Coming.
He came.
In the people’s expectant, enthusiastic gazes, Zhu Pingan carried the quilt on his back and walked over quickly ……
Three metres
Two metres
One metre
Finally, Zhu Pingan came under the people’s expectant gaze, he walked to the people and even nodded at them.
Then
Then, walked straight over ……
“Huh?”
“Huh?”
“Yah?”
“Huh?”
A voice of surprise rang out in the crowd, sound after sound, one after another, continuously.
At this moment, the people who were crowded in front of the city gate hole to escape, each and every one of them were dumbfounded, dumbstruck, like a bunch of logs poking there motionless, a pair of eyes staring stupidly at Zhu Pingan ……
Looking at Zhu Pingan in front of them walked straight through, however, not straight through the road they gave way to the city gates, but after nodding at them, turned 90 degrees straight from in front of them, and did not enter the city gate hole at all, but along the steps leading to the city wall, and walked all the way up to the city wall.
In plain sight, Zhu Pingan walked up the city wall, untied the quilt tied to his chest, a shake, unfolded and spread on the city wall, placed the sword in his hand on the front of the quilt as a pillow, stretched out as if nothing had happened, and then just ……Just lay down, depending on the Japanese invaders outside the city as nothing, as if it was a springtime nap.
The governor has come!
The governor is on the city wall!
The governor he slept on the city wall!
The people fleeing in front of the city gate were hit by wave after wave of shock, one after another.
The truth is exactly the opposite of what they imagined.
It turned out that the governor’s great master he was carrying a quilt was not fleeing from the city, but rather, he was bunking on the city wall, vowing to live and die with the city wall!
The Great Master of the Magistrate!
The people could not help but redden their faces, ashamed of the fact that they had taken the heart of a small man for the heart of a gentleman, ashamed of their cowardly escape.
Zhu Pingan lay down on the city wall, but his image stood up in people’s hearts, standing tall!
“Well, this is it.”
Zhu Pingan lay down and moved a few times, found a comfortable position, satisfied with the position of the bunk, then sat up from the bunk, stepped on the battlements with his feet, looked at the people under the walls, smiled slightly, arched his hand to the crowd, and said aloud, “Folks of Jingnan County, from now on, I’ll make my home here. As long as the Japanese do not retreat, I, Zhu Pingan, will not go down to the city walls and vow to live and die with the county. If I go back on my word and take half a step down to the city, all of you folks, everyone can kill me, Zhu Pingan.”
Zhu Pingan’s words were like thunder exploding above people’s heads, once again shocking the crowd, as people tilted their heads incredulously to look at Zhu Pingan.
“Big sword, catch it and post it on the city wall.”
Zhu Pingan pulled out a roll of official documents with the county magistrate’s great seal from his pocket and threw it from the city wall to Liu Dazhou at the bottom of the city.
“As you command, Your Excellency.”
Liu Dazhou received the official document with one hand and unrolled and posted it on the city wall. The content of the official document was the oath made by Zhu Pingan, stating that everyone could be executed for breaking his word, and it was stamped with a bright red magistrate’s seal.
The governor is serious!
The people see the content of the official document, the shock is deeper, this is simply suicide official document ah, if the governor broke his word, people are really can be based on this official document to kill the governor, this is called the decree to kill the official, will not be guilty of, never worry about it.
The governor is really living with the county! A little bit of the back way are not left!
People looked up at Zhu Pingan, the governor sitting on the ground above the city wall, and the fear in their hearts unconsciously subsided a lot.
At this moment, Zhu Pingan was like a divine needle that fixed the sea of fear in people’s hearts.
