Looking at those who refused to admit it, Chunxu said: "We came from Xitong County, and this is Nanwang County. This place belongs to their territory. Why are we resisting? Why? Is it just to let the people have food to eat and clothes to wear?"
"I don't treat you as human beings. This county government office is small, so I have no choice but to hide here from the rain. We can't let the people of Nanwang County crowd into this cell, right? , It’s the people of Xitong County, we have to show our Xitong County’s magnanimity in everything we do. We can’t let the people of Nanwang County say that this is not good and that is not good.”
Hearing Chunxu's words, some of the brothers who had complained just now lowered their heads.
"Okay, since the brothers have objections and say that I don't treat you as human beings, then I will accompany you." After saying this, Chunxu squatted down and looked at the names on the booklet.
After hearing what the great hero said and then seeing what the great hero did, some of the brothers who had just made a noise admitted it.
"Great hero, I was wrong." Brother Yi said.
After hearing this, Chunxu stood up hurriedly and looked left and right, but with so many brothers' heads, Chunxu didn't know who said it.
"Great hero, I also know that I was wrong." Another brother said.
But with so many brothers' faces, and the conversation ending so quickly, Chunxu didn't even know who had spoken.
Just think about it, it's not a big deal anyway, Chunxu couldn't find who said it, so he pretended to see the person and said: "That's it this time, don't say this kind of thing again in the future. Who are we fighting for? It’s just for our family and the people to live a stable life. Okay, let’s just let the grievances go for now. When the rain stops, the people in Nanwang County can eat meat, and the people who don’t join have all gone back, so naturally they won’t feel grievances. Brothers.”
The raindrops kept falling, and sometimes the wind girl was invited to cause trouble, blowing the Nanwang County so fiercely that all the heavy objects in the streets and alleys that were not heavy or fastened flew away, and the tree branches were blown away. His waist was broken by the blow.
Within the Nanwang County government office, a stream of fragrance wafted in. If it hadn't been for Miss Feng's trouble, the fragrance would have spread to the streets and alleys of the city.
Fortunately, the brothers in Xitong County were fast enough. The horse meat cooked in the pot was cooked quickly, and finally the people who had been hungry for many days had a full meal.
Listening to the sound of rain, eating horse meat in your hands, and talking about things, this kind of life is the envy of many people.
I feel sorry for the brothers in Xitong County. Although there is a lot of horse meat, there are more people in Nanwang County than the brothers in Xitong County, so they cannot eat this horse meat.
Although the people in Nanwang County can eat the horse meat, because there are so many people, there is not much horse meat in their hands.
But something is better than nothing. These common people have no intention of complaining about Chunxu and the others, and are still very satisfied.
The rain didn't last long, and about half an hour after the people of Nanwang County ate their horse meat, the rain gradually lightened up.
Seeing that the rain stopped, these people in Nanwang County could understand the kindness of the people in Xitong County, and they came out from under the eaves one after another.
The people who did not join the anti-imperial team went home one after another.
After the people left, the county government office was finally no longer so crowded, and the brothers in prison walked out one by one with smiles on their faces.
At this time, those who stayed in the yamen were all people who resisted the imperial court. As long as they joined, they were one of their own and their brothers.

"Brother Xu, how many of our brothers are included in this?" He Yuhong asked.
Chunxu, holding the brochure in his hand, walked to the courtyard, looked at the scattered brothers, and then looked at He Yuhong: "There are about 20,000 people, plus we have more than 40,000 people in Xitong County. .”
After Chunxu's words, He Yuhong looked at the brothers standing around him in the courtyard.
Lin Xubai on the side saw He Yuhong watching, and he also started watching.
But Chunxu took the booklet and called out the names. No one knew what he was doing. He Yuhong and Lin Xubai watched Chunxu click on the names, not daring to ask a question for fear of interrupting what Chunxu was about to do. Something happened.
For a long time, after Chunxu finished counting the names on the book, it was already getting dark.
Seeing Chun Xu finish calling the names, He Yuhong just asked: "Brother Xu, why are you calling the names?"
Chunxu suddenly frowned: "We will know how many brothers we have died by calling them by name. These dead brothers will be given some silver to their families in the future."
As Chunxu said this, He Yuhong and Lin Xubai on the side admired Chunxu even more.
The brothers who heard what they said felt more and more that they were following the right person.
Looking at the dark Yamen, Chunxu asked: "It's dark today, why don't you light the lamp?"
After hearing Chunxu's question, Lin Xubai, who was aware of it, answered: "I didn't see any candles in the yamen, and I didn't even see any kerosene. The oil in the kerosene lamp was empty."
Lin Xubai's reply, Chunxu probably knew what was going on. It must have been that someone took a lot of things from the county government during the chaos in Nanwang County.
But in this dark night, what can you do without a lamp? Chunxu told Lin Xubai: "Go and see if any of the villagers have one and borrow it."
After listening to Chunxu's words, Lin Xubai responded and was about to go out to look for kerosene.
Coincidentally, when I just walked to the yamen gate, a white-haired old man came over.
This old man looked familiar, as if he was similar to the old man who fished on the river during the day.
Look closely, it's true.
"Who are you?" Lin Xubai asked.
Of course Lin Xubai didn't know, after all, he had never seen it.
"This is some kerosene. Knowing that you are doing good things, the county government's kerosene has been robbed by those little bastards a long time ago. I have brought kerosene here," the old man said.
Seeing the old man's enthusiastic look, Lin Xubai was very happy, but seeing that the old man's clothes were a little shabby, he couldn't bear to come.
Fortunately, Lin Xubai had some silver with him, so he quickly took it out and handed the five taels of silver to the old man.
But the old man declined and insisted on not wanting it.
"No, just treat this little kerosene as a contribution. When I came back from fishing, I heard that you wanted to do good things for our people and resist the imperial court. Since this is a good thing, I won't charge you for this little kerosene." The old man He said with a smile.
Seeing what Lin Xubai and the old man were saying, Chunxu walked over with He Yuhong.
Chunxu, who still didn't understand what happened, asked Lin Xubai: "What's wrong?"
"He insists on giving us kerosene, and he won't accept the money." Lin Xubai replied.
After listening to Lin Xubai's words, Chunxu looked at the old man with a smile on his face and said:
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
"Old man, although we are short of kerosene, if you give us the kerosene, what will you do with it? Just take it and let us think of something else."
The old man smiled: "To tell you the truth, I have harvested a lot of fish today. Even if these fish are exchanged for silver, they are enough to exchange for several taels of kerosene. Besides, I am only one person, so it is not a good idea to light firewood for lighting. No."
The old man looked at the three people in front of him and hesitated, then said: "You can just accept it, even though it's not much. As long as you can help us people live a good life, this kerosene can be regarded as a meritorious service." "
Listening to the old man's words, he didn't want to accept it but couldn't let him feel cold. Chunxu had no choice but to agree: "Okay, then we will accept it. Thank you for your kindness. In the future, when we overthrow the imperial court, we will definitely accept it." Let the people live a good life."
At Chunxu's words, the old man nodded with satisfaction, handed the two bowls of kerosene in his hand to Chunxu, and left.
Looking at the old man's leaving figure, Chunxu felt moved for some reason.
"Xu Bai, Yu Hong" Chunxu shouted.
After the two heard this, they looked at Chunxu.
"We can't live up to his good intentions. Let's assign the new brothers who joined in Nanwang County today to our team of three, and then teach them some killing skills in the county government." Chunxu commanded.
"good."
The three of them walked to the yamen courtyard, and then assigned the people who had joined from Nanwang County to each other. After the assignments were made, they started practicing in various places in the yamen.
The sky is pitch black, and the moon seems to be late today.
In Xitong County, the city gate was still closed. Fatty Zheng Chui and Zhuo Ziyuan stood at the front of the avenue in front of Jiang's house gate and taught the people how to practice.
I saw many brothers standing on the avenue in front of Jiang's house, and not all of these brothers were from Fatty Zheng Chui.
Only one-third were his people, and the rest were Lin Xubai, He Yuhong and Chunxu's people.
Their movements can be said to be uniform, and every step is the same.
To say that the most skilled among these people is the eleven-year-old Zi Yuan.
They all held swords in their hands and followed Zi Yuan and Zheng Tai to practice step by step.
Under the Jiangzhai pavilion, the words of two people rang out. One of them was a woman from the city who had just met Xi Rangang.
This woman's surname was Yao and her given name was Pinghui. The men in her family joined the anti-imperialist team.
"Xi Ran. Your child is so powerful. You are so lucky." The woman said.
After hearing this, Li Xiran smiled slightly: "It's not bad."
Listening to what Xi Ran said, the woman became even more envious: "Look, you are all the same, humble. I don't have such a good life. My son is unfilial and will not recognize us when he grows up. My parents, I don’t know whether they are dead or alive. Your husband and your son are both great people. It would be great if I could have such a filial and sensible child."
Xi Ran sat aside, listening to her words. She didn't know how to comfort her, so she could only remain silent.
"Hey, how did you and your husband meet?" The woman became interested.
Thinking that the matter could not be revealed yet, Xi Ran started to make it up seriously.
The two chatted under the pavilion for a long time.
