   Chapter 970 One hundred and sixty-nine people's hearts

These assassins are still so rampant to this day, many of the local people were still a little swayed by Mouton Toast. When such a thing happened, I saw with my own eyes the words spoken by those who assassinated Xiao Heng. The goodwill also vanished.

   Tusi Tusi, they also have to ensure the safety of the natives, so they deserve to be loved by so many people and be the patron saint of the people, but look at what Mouton has done! Before Xiao Heng was in distress in Zhaotong, no one saw it with their own eyes, but Xiao Heng launched a general Yang in front of so many people, saying that he was a native and a confidant of Mouton, and killed him. , most natives are just dubious.

   In addition to being dubious, at most, he felt that he really shouldn’t assassinate the imperial envoy. Other than that, he didn’t have much other feelings. Most people in the world are like this. It didn’t happen to him, who can really feel the same way?

   But this time is different. This time the explosion was experienced by all the people.

The thrills during the    period, the despair, pain, and the sadness and despair of watching their relatives have an accident, they all deeply understand now.

   And all this is caused by Mouton!

   Doesn't Mouton know that there are still countless natives in Kunming? ! Although they live here, they are connected by blood. Mouton wants to assassinate the imperial envoy, but he doesn't care about their life or death! Look at the people who were killed and injured in the flower shed! Look at those children who are separated from their families and cry for no reason!

  How does Mouton match this toast? !

The people are all excited, and the natives are very bloody, not to mention that they have their own set of rules of conduct, even the orders of the government, which are not as useful as their own rules, and now they see these assassins. , when even a sturdy native man rushed out, he pounced on the dwarf and smashed the dwarf.

The dwarf was beaten with blood all over his head, and the natives were still reluctant to relieve their anger. They took him out and threw him to the place where the explosion had just happened. Everyone spat at him, punched and kicked him, and after a while, the people were beaten out of breath. son.

   Halfway through, Tang Yuan thought about stopping, but was stopped by Xiao Heng and Mr. Cui.

Seeing Tang Yuan's puzzled expression, Mr. Cui said softly, "Today's farce, the people must have a place to vent. These people are to blame. As for those who live or not live, isn't there another one? No, it doesn't matter. After today, Mouton has lost the hearts of the people."

  Thinking of stabbing with explosives while the officials greeted His Royal Highness, it can be seen that Mouton is a brutal and cruel person with no strategy.

   He will know the consequences of losing popular support.

  Tang Yuan immediately understood what Mr. Cui meant, nodded slowly, and went to work on other things.

The military doctors and doctors brought by Xiao Heng from the capital all went into battle, and the condition of the wounded in the flower shed was temporarily stabilized. It didn’t take long for the doctors in the city to be picked up by the government one after another. With sufficient manpower, the scene It's all under control.

   However, there are still casualties.

Liao Jingxu was listening to the report of the official below, saying that there were 126 dead and 300 or 400 injured, the official couldn't help sighing: "Supervisor, it's really a big event that hasn't happened in many years! Now. "

Although Yunnan has been in constant chaos, but Kunming is not under the control of the chieftain, but it is still under strict laws and regulations, and they are all under the control of the government. Except for the time he broke his face with Mouton, there has never been such a large casualty. .

  Liao Jingxu's face was very ugly. Those who died were also the people under his rule. How could he not be heartbroken and angry?

However, at this time, his anger and heartache didn't help, he didn't show the slightest on his face, and ordered in a deep voice: "Let officials at all levels continue to count the number of people, and make good arrangements for the remaining people. Also, people who have died in their families can come to the yamen to claim their bodies. , each person receives 50 taels of pension money. The injured are 32 taels each, and if someone in the family is missing, report it."

   Unstable people's emotions can easily cause major incidents. Liao Jingxu himself can make decisions on such matters.

   But after he finished his instructions, he stopped his subordinates again, coughed, and said, "Wait a moment, this official will discuss with His Royal Highness Taisun before making a decision."

   That official was also clever, and immediately understood what Liao Jingxu meant.

Yes, such a big incident happened in front of the grandson of the emperor. Liao Jingxu already had a history of ineffective control over Wei Desheng, and now it happened when he was welcoming his grandson. It is said that the imperial grandson, who was the imperial envoy, immediately deprived Liao Jingxu of the right to supervise, and it was also made.

   Liao Jingxu should indeed ask Xiao Heng what he meant.

There were screams all around, Liao Jingxu walked over to Xiao Heng with a livid face, and after receiving permission, he first bowed deeply to Xiao Heng, and admitted his mistake with shame: "It's all because the officials are ineffective in handling their affairs, which has caused His Highness to fall into a trap, Your Majesty. The officer is guilty."

Xiao Heng raised his eyebrows, he naturally saw Liao Jingxu's compromise and attitude, and after hearing the words he was silent for a moment before he smiled: "This palace is not in danger, on the contrary, these people are the ones who are really suffering. , I think Master Liao also knows what Ben Gong's background is. Jinyi guards guard hundreds of officials. Ben Gong has always heard that Master Liao is a selfless and capable minister. However, Master Liao, these people are all under your rule and under your control. Under the rule, you hand over the lives of these people to others, do you feel sorry for it in your heart?"

   Liao Jingxu was speechless when asked, and at the same time he couldn't say anything to reply.

   After a long while, he bent down, as if he was ten years older: "This minister is guilty."

"Guilty and innocence, the court will naturally deal with it later. Now, clean up the mess and make amends, that's what you should do, Mr. Liao, don't let this palace down." Xiao Heng raised his eyebrows, knowing that the heat had arrived, He didn't say more, just said: "Go, you know the situation in Yunnan better than Ben Gong. You don't need Ben Gong to teach you about the aftermath, and you don't have to wait for Ben Gong to decide everything. Go."

  Liao Jingxu trembled in his heart, and bowed down to Xiao Heng solemnly before leaving.

  He asked his subordinates to act according to the previous countermeasures, and then he personally went to the flower shed to visit the injured people, and promised to catch the murderer and never let the people lose their relatives and suffer in vain.

   Lord Liao was full of emotion and even shed a few tears. The people found a trace of comfort in their anger and thanked Lord Liao.

   After appeasing the people, Liao Jingxu came out of the flower shed and saw the guards hurried over: "Sir, the local gentry are asking to see you."
