Both sides ignored the fact that the wounded were still lying on the ground, waving their weapons and approaching each other again.
However, since there were not many able-bodied men at the scene, most of them were old people, women and children, so even if a fight broke out, the intensity would not be too high.
But in the face of the conflict that was about to break out, Qin Feng immediately ordered to stop it.
The two soldiers rushed directly to the center of the crowd, each stared at one side, raised their rifles, and shouted angrily.
"Everyone, stand back!"
"I've turned against you!"
"Whoever dares to rush up again will be punished on the spot!"
Even though both sides have a large number of people and only two soldiers, soldiers are soldiers and people are people. In terms of momentum alone, they are not on the same level.
And seeing the well-made rifles in the hands of the soldiers, the people at the scene immediately realized that these two soldiers were regular soldiers and definitely not yamen soldiers from Changshui County.
The two major clans, who were agitated just now, instantly put out their fire and began to retreat one after another.
Qin Feng asked Ning Hu and Liu Ming to wait where they were, and walked up with his hands behind his back.
First he looked at the Wang family, then at the Zhou family, and asked earnestly: "What can't you say carefully? Why do you have to do it?"
"It's still during the war, and martial law has been issued in the city for a long time. Do you still have any rules when you gather people to fight like this?"
As he spoke, Qin Feng glanced at the women and children at the scene and said angrily: "Go home, don't come out to cause trouble again!"
The originally noisy scene was already silent.
Just when Qin Feng thought that this farce was over, the middle-aged man named Wang suddenly said: "Who are you?!"
"Could it be that the county government is in charge? Then I have to ask you, the Marquis of Qin has an order that all the people in the city are treated equally. Why do they start to treat them differently when it comes to distributing supplies?"
"We, the Wang family, have quite a lot, so why do we get so few supplies? Could it be that Zhou is the son of his mother, and we are all the stepmothers?"
Faced with the questioning of the man surnamed Wang, Qin Feng was not angry and was about to explain that he would strictly check the logistics when he returned.
As a result, before the words were spoken, Old Man Zhou next to him burst into cynicism.
"Who didn't pull up his pants and exposed you? Why are you pretending to be a big-tailed wolf here?"
"Now that Changshui County has been taken over by Qin Feng, it is controlled by the military. Looking at your weak manner, you are probably a county clerk, right?"
"I'm not afraid to tell you that our Zhou family is the logistics officer responsible for the distribution of supplies. We were appointed by Qin Feng, so stay on the wise side."
As soon as he said this, Ning Hu became angry and was about to rush forward, but Qin Feng glared back.
Qin Feng frowned slightly, looked up and down at the harsh-spoken old man Zhou, and asked patiently: "Can't you say nice things easily?"
"Old man, you are old and well-dressed. Why do you always speak dirty words?"
"Also...ahem, Qin Feng appoints locals and distributes supplies just because he trusts everyone. How about you, do you actually think that engaging in fraud for personal gain is a matter of course?"
At first, Old Man Zhou felt a little guilty, after all, the young man in front of him was accompanied by two soldiers.
However, seeing the young man speak so politely, Old Man Zhou became more and more confident.
He held his head high and said proudly: "Who can say for sure what the future of Changshui County will look like? Everyone must find a way to leave a way out for themselves in advance."
"When the war ends in the future, whether it is a success or a failure, and Qin Feng leaves with a pat on the back, we common people will suffer. Every one of us will be regarded as a traitor and the nine tribes will be killed."
"So, when the city gate opens, it will be our time to flee."
"If we don't get more supplies now, who will be responsible if we starve to death on the road when we flee in the future?"
Originally, Qin Feng wanted to calm down the matter and value peace, but when he heard what Old Man Zhou said, his face instantly darkened.
These words are, at best, deceptive words, and at worst, they are disturbing the morale of the military!
This week, the old man must be killed!
But since he dares to speak wildly in public, it is conceivable that Old Man Zhou is not the only one who has such thoughts.
Although the city defense of Changshui County is now impregnable, logistics will always be the top priority. Whether the logistics can be maintained smoothly depends on the local people. If the people are in chaos, it will definitely affect the whole body. , affecting the soldiers fighting on the front line.
Qin Feng would never allow a fire in the backyard.
He looked at Old Man Zhou coldly and asked calmly: "Didn't Qin Feng say that when the war is over, anyone who is willing to follow him back to Daliang can enter Beixi County and settle down."
It's okay not to say this. As soon as he finished saying it, Old Man Zhou actually threw his head back and laughed.
"Hahaha, what a big joke!"
"You, you, are still too young to even believe the deceptive lies."
"Then Beixi County is really so good. Why does Qin Feng come here despite having a good life? Who knows what the situation is in Beixi County?"
"Even if Beixi County is really as good as the rumors say, Qin Feng is really willing to take us to Beixi County? Is it possible that Qin Feng will pay for all the expenses along the way? I don't believe there are such kind people in the world. .”
"When our use value is gone, Qin Feng will definitely kick us and other common people away."
"Nowadays, everyone is tying up Qin Feng to carry ordnance. It is just to survive and is forced to do nothing. If there is a choice, who is willing to help a foreign minister to attack his country?"
Don't blame Old Man Zhou for having these thoughts. After all, this is human nature.
But he couldn't say it in public, otherwise it would shake people's hearts and cause turmoil. Even if he died, he would be responsible for it.
Of course Old Man Zhou saw Qin Feng's unkind eyes, but he didn't care. Anyway, the so-called Marquis of Qin stayed at the front line all day, so how could he have time to wander into the city?
Moreover, Qin Feng has been in Changshui County for a while, and he is always surrounded by a large number of elite soldiers. More than 80% of the people in the city don't even know what Qin Feng looks like.
They only knew that a man named Qin Feng had come, captured Changshui County, and was fighting against the entire Dadi.
When the order was given, soldiers would naturally come to urge and drive them away. Everything they knew about Qin Feng was just hearsay.
Old man Zhou looked disdainful: "A scribe like you may be taken away by Qin Feng, but ordinary people like us can only ask for blessings!"
"Even if you go back to Qin Feng to complain, I'm not afraid. My Zhou family is pretty good. If it were someone else distributing supplies, they would be even more ruthless than my Zhou family!"
Normally, the Wang family and the Zhou family are enemies, and the enemy of the enemy is a friend, so they should help Qin Feng, but the result is exactly the opposite.
