What?
Hearing this, the faces of all the students changed a little.
Go and have a look?
To put it simply, they are all hungry people. If there is something, they will not necessarily tear it apart.
Xiao Wu also looked at Lin Bai in surprise.
Zhuiyue shook his head at Lin Bai and said that he couldn't go. There were canals and guards on the boat, so nothing would happen, but once he went there, it would be hard to say.
The little girl, on the other hand, is very courageous and not afraid at all.
Maybe she is more innocent.
Lin Bai was actually very vain, but he couldn't help it. His wife was so noble and she had won the trust of so many people. If he backed down, how would he face his wife in the future?
So don't be timid.
And, he believed, these people were really just starving.
However, he couldn't bear the blame alone. He immediately looked at the students and said solemnly: "Dear classmates, what are we doing for ten years? Wealth and glory? Serving the court? Or asking for orders for the people? There is such a group of people right now. Disaster victims, they can’t live any longer..."
Righteousness throws it out first, it's up to you whether to pick it up or not.
The scholar was angry, and although he was scared, he was beguiled by Lin Bai, and something seemed to be ignited in his chest.
"Lin Jieyuan is right. Scholars like us, how can we not save people even if they die? If they are really rebels, death would not be a pity, but these are obviously a group of disaster victims."
"Yes! The imperial court has disaster relief food. Although it cannot guarantee the life in the past, it will never end here. There must be something fishy here."
"..."
Everyone was filled with indignation.
very good! Very good, Lin Bai felt happy.
Xiao Wu glanced at him, paused and said, "Since you want to go, then go! However, don't blame me for not reminding you. If something happens, you can't blame others."
Everyone felt a little weak when they heard this, but it was already like this, how could they back down.
It’s really shameless to be a scholar.
Ping'an County.
Outside the county government office.
At this moment, countless soldiers holding steel swords completely surrounded the entire county government office and its surroundings.
There were many corpses on the ground, and it was obvious that there had been quite a few conflicts before.
Behind these soldiers was a general with a cold expression, Cheng Kaishan.
and Zhang Wannian, the magistrate of Ping County.
"If you dare to rebel against a thief, I will count to ten. If you don't come out and surrender, you will be killed without mercy!" Cheng Kaishan yelled angrily.
There was a lot of noise in the county government office, some were crying and some were howling miserably.
"one two three……"
The cold sound was like a death knell, echoing in the ears of the victims.
Someone shouted: "Fight with them, these dog officials have never regarded us as human beings."
"Don't cry and cry like that. Since the court won't give us a way to survive, then we will find a way to survive on our own."
"Yes! The left and right are just dead and anti-mother."
The victims are desperate.
Either way, they will die, and they have no choice.
Some people picked up wooden sticks, some removed bricks, others took shoe soles, and there were even children of seven or eight years old holding toy wooden swords. But what they faced was a group of brightly armored people holding steel knives. of soldiers.
"Eight, nine, ten..."
"kill!"
With a cold voice, the steel knives of countless soldiers were pointed at the county government and the victims.
The victims all turned pale and shivered.
But they have no retreat.
"stop!"
Fortunately, at this time, a group of people finally arrived.
Xiao Wu stepped down and landed in front of the soldiers like a sparrow, and at the same time he took out his waist card.
Cheng Kaishan's expression changed slightly, "Commander Silver Dragon!"
County Magistrate Zhang Wannian's face turned pale, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
Lin Bai and his party also saw clearly the situation on the field at this time, and saw the bodies on the ground and the blood stains all over the ground.
The little girl's face was pale and she buried her head in her brother-in-law's arms, obviously not daring to look.
The victims in the county government also noticed that the situation had changed at this time, and they suddenly became much quieter.
Cheng Kaishan asked: "What does this mean, Lord Silver Dragon? The Feilong Guard monitors hundreds of officials and collects intelligence. Could it be that they also want to intervene in the general's suppression of bandits?"
He looked obviously unhappy.
Although the Feilong Guard was directly responsible to His Majesty, all the officials were frightened upon hearing this.
But in the matter of suppressing bandits, it was never the other party's turn to intervene.
Xiao Wu said: "It's not within the Feilong Guard's responsibilities. I'm not interested in paying attention to it. I came here because I received a report that someone was embezzling money for disaster relief."
Zhang Wannian's face became even more ugly when he heard this, and he quickly said: "Master Yinlong, this is definitely a false accusation. The relief food was simply robbed by these rebel thieves. Look at them, they dare to openly attack the Yamen in broad daylight. They are so bold."
"We didn't, we just wanted to seek help from the government." Some of the victims who came with the disaster defended themselves.
"presumptuous!"
Zhang Wannian was furious, "You need to capture the Yamen to seek help? You are obviously taking the opportunity to cause chaos. Come and capture these rebels."
After hearing this, a group of government officials wanted to arrest people.
The victims were panicked.
"Wait!"
Lin Bai then stepped forward and blocked the group of people, while Zhui Yue stayed close, his hand on the hilt of his sword.
"who are you?"
Zhang Wannian's face darkened.
Lin Bai replied: "Scholar, these people behind me are also scholars. We just want to ask these two adults, are we really going to kill all these victims?"
"You are presumptuous!"
Zhang Wannian said angrily, "They are all rebels, and Lord Cheng has given them a chance, but they are unrepentant and insist on going against the imperial court."
"Chance?"
Lin Bai sneered and said, "Under such circumstances, if it were you, my lord, would you come out and surrender?"
Outside were a group of soldiers in bright armor and holding steel knives, and there were many corpses lying on the ground. Surrendering would undoubtedly mean death for the victims.
Who will come out? Who dares to come out?
Cheng Kaishan's eyes darkened slightly, and his sharp gaze swept over him, "Then what do you mean?"
Lin Bai said: "Lin didn't mean anything. He just felt that they were just a group of unarmed victims and should not be treated like this."
"Yes! There are people from the Red Lotus Sect among them, but we cannot conclude that they are all rebels just because of this."
Since ancient times, when facing rebels, the imperial court would rather kill the wrong ones than let them go.
There may be quite a few Red Lotus Sect among these disaster victims. Under such circumstances, their fate is worrying.
Cheng Kaishan's target was naturally not the victims of the disaster, but the Red Lotus Sect, but he had no way to tell, and with things like this, there might be no need to tell.
He sneered and said, "Do you think these people are innocent?"
"No! Their attack on the Yamen is tantamount to rebellion. They also killed people, including those behind you, and they also killed people in the canal."
Hearing this, many victims lowered their heads.
Zhang Wannian was sneering.
Lin Bai said: "Lin doesn't want to excuse killing. Killing is killing. I just want to say that if one person can't survive, it may be his fault. If a group of people or an entire county can't survive, then then Is it still their fault?”
"Absolutely not. That is the fault of the officials and the fault of this world."
"When they have no other way to go, the only way left in front of them is the last way."
