"Don't quarrel."
Old Mr. Wang glanced at the crowd and gradually quieted down. Then he slowly said, "I know what you are talking about, but we can't solve it in a hurry. As long as the crisis in the imperial court is not over, we will not have a good time. But we don't know when the imperial court will solve this crisis."
As soon as he finished speaking, the depressed mood of the crowd immediately rose.
"What? Then won't our families starve to death? "
"Yes, then when can we make money?"
The discussion of the crowd made Old Mr. Wang feel very uncomfortable. He had watched these young people grow up. Now that there was no way to survive, he was also anxious. But it was useless to be anxious. All of this was Li Erlang's sin, and he needed to solve it.
At this time, he was very disappointed with Li Erlang. Why did the ghosts of the Xuanwu Gate involve the people? Wasn't this f * cking harming people? If the emperor hadn't done that absurd thing, there might not be today's disaster. But then again, if he hadn't done that, Li Erlang wouldn't have been able to ascend the throne.
He squinted his eyes and looked in the direction of the imperial palace, but there was nowhere to vent his anger. This group of brats in front of him could talk about it, but he was an elder. How could he comment on this with them?
Just as he was looking up, a group of soldiers came out of the city gate of Chang 'an, and there were three strongmen among them. This posture instantly attracted his attention, because he had seen before that strongmen would come as long as there was a decree from the palace. Last time, when Li Erlang announced a general amnesty, the situation was similar to this.
However, the posture this time seemed to be bigger than before. There were three strongmen, and even half of the guards of Chang 'an City came out. There were also some generals in armor.
Hiss …
Was Li Erlang going to do something?
Or was he going to give a general amnesty again?
He didn't care so much and quickly patted the chatting crowd. "Boys, the imperial decree came. Let's go and have a look with the Old Man."
After that, he slowly stood up with his hands on the ground and walked to the city gate.
Everyone was still talking about a way out when they were interrupted by Old Man Wang. They were a little puzzled. When they turned around, they found that the old man had already disappeared. They hurriedly carried their burdens and chased after him.
On the other side, the gate of Chang 'an City was slowly opened. Su Lian led two groups of people out of the city, followed by two groups of Imperial Guards. In the middle stood three strongmen. The one in the middle was holding something that looked like an imperial edict. However, upon closer inspection, it was very different from an imperial edict. His face was serious, as if the thing in his hand was extremely precious.
The group quickly arrived at the place where the notice was posted at the city gate. Si Lian waved his hand, and the guards immediately formed a circle and isolated the area within a radius of twenty meters, leaving only the notice wall in the middle.
At this moment, Old Wang led Huzi and the others to the periphery. However, they were not the only ones. There were many merchants who also noticed this phenomenon. They put down their business and rushed over. They stretched their heads and looked at the guards curiously.
"Elder, what do you think they are doing?"
A kid came out and pointed at the guard.
"This?"
Old Wang frowned and stroked his white beard. "It should be an imperial edict from the palace."
This was just his guess. As for the specifics, he would have to see it.
Everyone looked up and scrambled to look at the guard. They were very impatient. Everyone wanted to watch a show, and no one was an exception.
Looking at the anxious crowd, Su Lian took half a step forward and bowed to the strongman behind him. "Strongman, can we post it now?"
The strongman in the middle did not answer. Instead, he glanced at the two people beside him and nodded slightly. Then, he handed the thing in his hand to Su Lian and said in a sharp voice, "Be careful."
Su Lian took it and handed it to Sang Feng. "Sang Feng, post the edict on the notice wall and send two soldiers to guard it."
"Yes, General."
Sang Feng took the edict and picked two soldiers at random. Then, he walked directly to the notice wall.
The notice wall was where the government usually issued announcements. All the edicts would be posted here for the people to read.
After posting the edict, Su Lian waved his hand and ordered the soldiers to withdraw. The guards immediately rushed back into the city and closed the city gates.
Seeing that the soldiers had left, everyone rushed forward, wanting to see what the decree was about. Old Wang also slowly squeezed his way forward with the help of Huzi.
Someone in the crowd shouted, "Crimes have been decreed …"
Instantly, it caused an uproar. The entire scene was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, causing an uproar.
"What? Crimes have been decreed? How could His Majesty decree crimes? "
"That's right. Someone like His Majesty has always thought that his merits surpass the Three Sovereigns and his power surpasses the Five Emperors. How could he decree crimes? He must have seen wrongly. "
Many people did not even believe that Li Shimin would decree crimes. This was because in everyone's impression, Li Shimin was a murderer who killed his brothers. He had long lost his humanity. How could such a person decree crimes?
