C3520 Difficult to welcome! (2/2)

”But, Your Highness, you've involved their county magistrate. This is quite impressive …” He was punished for half a year! The constable head, the constables, the helpers, the Grand Master … These local serpents will have ten thousand ways to kill these villagers! ”

”These people are ruthless. They kill without blinking an eye!”

Yi Cong then suddenly realised, to put it bluntly, he was the prince of the capital, and did not go down to the basic level much, so he did not understand what was going on here!

”Forget it, I'll just listen to you …” This village will welcome you first... Turn back half a month... As for the county, we will not be involved! ”

”Thank you, your highness, for saving my life …” ”I kowtowed to you, I kowtowed …” Under the leadership of the landlord, more than a dozen people in the village were kowtowing.

Every single scene was witnessed by the marines, and at that moment, these Chinese marines suddenly had a strange feeling.

”I... Is he really living in the same world as these people? ”

With this incident, the citizens did not dare to hide anything. After eating their fill, they sent their men to the Huangpu River and waited patiently.

It was always an earth-shattering event for the ancient emperors when they visited, but no matter how big the scene was, it was just a pile of wealth. It was incomparable to the sound and light movies of future generations, which could even startle the world and the sea.

Along the way, Huangpu River had planted all kinds of trees and plants. The gardeners in Jiangnan had earned a lot of money in this period of time.

Then there were the painters, the painters, the memorial archways, the firecrackers... Dance of the Dragons and Lions, playing all sorts of tricks. No matter how lively it is, come as you please!

It was already autumn's day in Beijing, but it was still very hot in Jiangnan!

After breakfast, the commoners went to the riverside to wait. From afar, it was very lively and crowded, but when you carefully entered and looked, all of them were expressionless.

After all, he was just waiting foolishly, and he didn't have an hour watch. Especially the elderly, who hasn't had children and grandchildren waiting for the Double Sun Festival?

The young one also wanted to rush home and kowtow to the old man. Waiting here without any reason was truly torturous.

Inside the Chinese Central Bank building, Mi Fei looked at the vast crowd below and turned to ask Ox-Head, ”How many civilians has Songjiang Prefecture mobilized? ”It should be around sixty to seventy thousand …”

”More than that …” It's more than 110,000! ” ”Jiu Shuai and Prince Chun have already said that His Majesty is coming back from a swim in Europa. It's even bigger than going down to Jiangnan and it must be lively!”

”Jiangnan will probably spend at least six or seven hundred thousand taels of silver to welcome you …”

It was not only six or seven hundred thousand, Niu Jinfu said that it was too little. This time, was welcomed, and the various families in Jiang-Nan city went back and forth to pay him back. In the end, the Ministry of Revenue calculated that he had spent a total of one million and eight hundred thousand silver!

Time passed minute after minute, without any movement at the entrance of Huangpu River. From four in the morning to three in the morning, nine hours had passed, but there was still no trace of the Imperial Battleship!

The crowd gradually began to crumble. The young ones were able to hold on, but the old ones couldn't take it anymore. Some of them blacked out and fell to the ground, screaming as they tried to move towards the cool spot.

The heat wasn't the most important thing, the key was that no one was allowed to drink water. Who could bear it?

”When will the His Majesty come? ”How long has it been? I'm dying of thirst …”

The crowd started to become restless as the servants of the Songjiang Prefecture and the various soldiers started to press down on them. They started to curse at the commoners with fiendish expressions.

”Kill them all!” Without the His Majesty, you still have a good life? You don't even have this kind of filial piety? Die just like that! ”

”Everyone, keep your spirits up …”

Amongst the chaotic crowd of tens of thousands of people, no one noticed that a group of people had quietly approached from the desolate beach east of the Huangpu River.
