Looking at the pairs of pleading eyes and the expectant faces, Zhuiyue's nose felt sore.
Lin Bai also felt a little uncomfortable.
The people of this era are so pitiful. However, this is not the time to express emotion. He immediately said loudly: "You are right, Lin is just a scholar and can't help you."
As soon as these words came out, the victims looked at each other in shock.
Everyone outside is also confused. This is what happened, and they will say that they can't help. I'm really not afraid that the victims will be impulsive and directly...
Just when the crowd was puzzled, Lin Bai's voice continued, "But there is someone who can help you, and that is Your Majesty. Your Majesty is sympathetic to the disaster in Hedong and has already ordered the imperial court to allocate relief food."
"It's just that for some reason, the relief food has not arrived, but it doesn't matter. Your Majesty has specially ordered the Feilong Guard to come and investigate..."
Give him a pat on the back first, no matter how good or bad he is.
This is the feudal era, so there is nothing wrong with flattering the emperor.
And when it comes to the revolt of the victims against the thieves, it cannot be ambiguous.
"good!"
Outside the county government office, Xiao Wu responded and said: "I, Commander Feilong Wei Yinlong, have been ordered by Your Majesty to investigate the case of the robbery of disaster relief grain."
"Don't listen to their nonsense. There has been a disaster in Hedong for three years. The imperial court has not reduced all kinds of taxes. Now they are sending troops to suppress us. They just want us to die."
"You're right. The relief food is clearly a deliberate attempt to deceive everyone."
"..."
Many voices were shouting.
It looks like they are filled with righteous indignation, but in fact it is clearly the rebels who are deliberately instigating them.
But there was really no way to catch them out at this time, so Lin Bai could only say: "The one with ulterior motives is the Red Lotus Sect."
"Everyone must not be taken advantage of. Although General Cheng sent troops to surround the Yamen, his target is the rebels, not everyone. If not, he could have taken action long ago, so why wait until now?"
"You are not rebels. It is precisely because General Cheng knew this that he did not give the order."
"Everyone just heard it. As long as you put down your weapons, General Cheng will forget the past."
These are ordinary disaster victims. No one really wants to rebel. Maybe they will do some drastic things because they can't survive. But if there is hope of survival, they will never give up.
Of course, there are many more who are skeptical.
"Qingfeng Shixian, will the imperial court really save us? With so many people without food, can the imperial court save us?"
"That's right! Where is the relief food?"
This is the cruelest reality before our eyes.
Any words are pale. Without food, even if you try to appease everyone, it will be in vain.
Lin Bai knew this truth well and was about to speak.
At this time, a voice came from outside, "Lord Yinlong, my subordinates have found relief food and it has been secretly hidden somewhere outside the city by the Ping'an County Magistrate. His followers have confessed..."
As soon as these words came out, Zhang Wannian's face instantly turned extremely pale, "Impossible! It's not happening at all..."
Unfortunately, before he could finish his words, Xiao Wu had already come to him in a flash, and a flash of silver light flashed in his hand.
Blood splatters!
Zhang Wannian didn't even have time to react before a huge head flew up.
The crowd was all shocked. No one thought that a parent official, the esteemed person of a county, would be killed like a chicken.
The police officers around him didn't react yet and stayed on the spot.
Xiaowu, on the other hand, had already strode towards the county government office with Zhang Wannian's head in his hands, shouting: "Ping'an County Magistrate Zhang Wannian was corrupt and perverted the law, and embezzled disaster relief food. He has been brought to justice."
"Everyone put down their weapons, and I will immediately arrange for the release of food for disaster relief..."
This bitch is really cruel!
Seeing the masked woman approaching, holding a bloody head in her hand, Lin Bai felt a little weak.
But when he was weak, he was weak again. The masked lady was a great master. With the other party beside him, he suddenly felt less panic.
The victims were also in a commotion at this time. They came just for a bite to eat. Now that the county magistrate has obeyed the law and the relief food has been found, everyone really sees the hope of survival.
However, it seems that there is still some hesitation.
"What a coincidence. There has been no movement of relief food for a long time, and then suddenly it was found. They clearly had ulterior motives to lure us out."
"That's right! Don't listen to them."
The crowd was noisy.
It seems that there is not much trust in the government, and there are people who want to be deceived.
Xiao Wu seemed to have lost his patience. Under the silver mask, his bright eyes were slightly cold.
Lin Bai said quickly: "Everyone, you must believe in Lady Yinlong. She is one of the four commanders. Since she said that the relief food has been found, she will not lie to everyone."
"Yes! Qingfeng Shixian will definitely not lie to us."
"I believe in Qingfeng Shixian."
"..."
Many people shouted.
Lin Bai was a little confused. It was obviously the masked lady's opinion. It was none of his business.
All right!
No matter what, he felt very good about being trusted, and he immediately said: "Since everyone believes in Master Yinlong and Mr. Lin, please put down your weapons and walk out of the Yamen."
The victims were still a little scared. A few elders came out first and said: "Qingfeng Shixian is the Wenquxing who has come to earth to help us. He will not harm everyone. We listen to Qingfeng Shixian."
Someone took the lead, and the victims put down their weapons one after another and walked out of the yamen.
Outside the Yamen, the soldiers voluntarily gave way.
A look of relief appeared in Cheng Kaishan's eyes.
However, at this moment, as the victims were walking out of the yamen one after another, suddenly, there was a sound of breaking through the air, and arrows were shot out from behind.
not good!
Cheng Kaishan's expression changed, and the arrow in his hand took off the string and shot directly behind the victims. However, the opponent's arrow had already been shot out and was heading straight towards Lin Bai.
"Uncle, be careful!"
Zhuiyue noticed something was wrong immediately.
Lin Bai was in a panic. Fortunately, he had expected such a situation. There were rebels among the victims. These people were extremely vicious and capable of doing anything, so he quickly evaded the masked woman.
This is a great master, and with the other party around, he will definitely be fine.
But the next moment, he realized that something was wrong. The arrow didn't seem to be heading towards him, but rather towards the masked girl. However, when he dodged like this, he bumped into the arrow instead.
grass! He couldn't help but want to curse.
A flash of surprise flashed through Xiao Wu's bright eyes. He originally wanted to intercept the arrow with his sword, but because Lin Bai rushed towards him, he couldn't do it.
For a moment, she was also a little at a loss.
However, the arrow looked about to fall. In desperation, Xiao Wu grabbed Lin Bai and pulled him back, while he blocked it.
Poof!
The next moment, there was the sound of an arrow entering the body. Xiao Wu was hit by an arrow in the abdomen, and his body fell towards Lin Bai behind him.
"If you boldly rebel against a thief, you are seeking death!"
The rebels suddenly attacked, and Cheng Kaishan was furious.
"The officers and soldiers are going to kill someone."
The victims were immediately in chaos. Many people panicked and took up arms again.
The scene became chaotic again.
