"I was just thinking that if there really was food, I could bring some back so that everyone could have something to eat. I don't know how long this porridge distribution will last."

Old Mrs. Lin struggled hard in Old Man Lin's hands, but still couldn't break free.

Old Master Lin was so angry that his eyes turned red, and he wanted to slap this stupid woman to the ground.

How could this be done? Not to mention that Lin Chengfeng is in charge of disaster relief now, even other people cannot rob the government's granary.

There are so many victims now that the government may not be able to stop it, but what about afterwards?

If the government wants to settle accounts later, stealing government grain is a serious crime.

If she is really convicted, not only her, but the entire Lin family and even the entire Ping'an Village will be implicated by her.

If this stupid woman keeps going, won't she kill the entire Lin family?

There are still so many children and young people who have to go out to make a living, or take the imperial examinations like Lin Chengfeng.

If you are charged with the crime of stealing government grain, the heavier sentence will be considered as rebellion.

This rebellion will result in the execution of nine generations of the clan.

"You foolish woman, didn't you hear what the headman said? If you dare go today, I will give you a letter of divorce.

All your actions have nothing to do with the Lin family or Ping'an Village. " Seeing that Mr. Lin looked serious and was not trying to scare her, Mrs. Lin also felt a little panicked.

At her age, can she still be divorced and sent back to her parents' home?

Even if her parents were willing to accept her, her brother and sister-in-law would not let her stay at home.

She doesn't want to be divorced.

"If you don't want to go, then don't go. You'll have nothing to eat in a few days, so don't act like you're dying."

Old Mrs. Lin pulled her sleeve out of Old Man Lin's hand and stood aside, watching more and more people gathering and walking towards the granary.

The head of the village glared at Old Lady Lin fiercely. This spendthrift woman was a real nuisance.

He has harmed Lin Yuanzhong's family so badly, and now he wants to harm the entire Lin family. He is really a troublemaker.

"Sir, the people are going to rob the granary!"

Guo Yuanchen jumped up from his chair upon hearing this, while Lin Chengfeng, standing beside him, stood up slowly with a sullen face. "Go and take a look."

"Master Lin, these untouchables are about to rebel! They even dare to steal the government grain. Are they going to kill their entire clan?"

Guo Yuanchen was so angry that he wanted to bury all these untouchables.

"We gave them good food and drink, and even sent government doctors to treat them free of charge. As the population grew, the food supply was eaten up by these locusts.

Just don't let them get too comfortable, because if they get too comfortable they'll start to act up.

They should be made to work like cows day and night and still not have enough to eat.

Treat them a little better and they start to forget who they are."

Seeing that the people around him had not spoken, Guo Yuanchen paused and stopped, "You said so, Lord Lin."

Lin Chengfeng curled his lips at him, which was considered as his agreement.

"Lord Lin, what do you think we should do now?" Although Luzhou was his territory, Lin Chengfeng's official rank was higher than his, and he was also the disaster relief ambassador appointed by the emperor.

He had to ask Lin Chengfeng for his opinion.

If it were up to him, he would just send guards to suppress it.

They were just a bunch of rabble who had just had a full meal. How could they have any fighting power?

"Master Guo, I am only here to provide disaster relief and I am not concerned with other affairs in Luzhou.

As the governor of Luzhou, it is up to you to decide how to deal with those who steal government grain. I am just going with you to observe and can only give you advice and suggestions."

"Then what does Lord Lin have to say?"

“I don’t dare to claim that my opinion is profound, it’s just some personal thoughts.

These people must be disaster victims. If there were no leader to instigate them, so many people would not be able to gather together.

After all, these people are also Luzhou citizens. If a large-scale bloodshed occurs, it will be difficult to explain to the higher authorities. Lord Guo can consider educating the person who led the incident.

I remember that this act of stealing government grain was a serious crime, affecting at least three clans."

Lin Chengfeng looked at Guo Yuanchen meaningfully.

Guo Yuanchen shuddered suddenly and asked cautiously, "How much does it take to avoid large-scale bloodshed?"

"Don't let anyone die, don't let the disease become untreatable. After all, it will be difficult for my wife to treat someone who is seriously injured." Lin Chengfeng's voice was cold, with a barely perceptible hint of anger.

At least Guo Yuanchen didn't notice it.

But with Lin Chengfeng's words, he knew what to do.

He has plenty of ways to deal with this group of troublemakers without causing any loss of life or serious injury.

Guo Yuanchen gathered all the guards and constables of the Luzhou City government office and marched towards the granary in a menacing manner.

Lin Chengfeng followed them, really just to watch the fun.

The villagers of Ping'an Village stood by the roadside and did not move forward.

Watching the magistrate and a group of officials walking towards the granary, I couldn't help but feel scared.

Fortunately, I didn't go. Looking at the magistrate's attitude, those who tried to rob the government grain would definitely not have a good end.

"Chengfeng." The village head saw Lin Chengfeng and stepped forward, hurriedly explaining, "Not a single villager from our Ping'an Village went there. I've counted them all.

When the porridge was distributed today, those people complained that there was too little rice and that the steamed buns were too small.

Then they started to slander the government officials, and somehow ended up stealing government grain.”

"Village head, you did a great job. Take the villagers back to their homes and don't go near the granary." Lin Chengfeng raised his eyebrows. Fortunately, the people from Ping'an Village did not participate.

If any of them got involved, he would not show mercy. He would not tolerate those who put down their bowls and cursed their mothers.

Without asking, I know how many of those words slandering the government are actually insulting myself.

When they first arrived, the resettlement sites for these disaster victims were just a place with nothing to offer, and they were almost starving to death.

It is not certain that they dare to cause trouble at the Luzhou government office.

Didn’t they know there was food in the granary before?

But they would rather starve to death than steal the granary.

Don’t they know about the inaction of Luzhou officials?

But they dared not say a bad word about these officials.

He came from the capital with relief grain and sought so many benefits for them, but in the end he was met with their dissatisfaction and even false accusations.

I guess many people have called him a corrupt official because the porridge has become thinner and thinner in recent days.

After only a few days of feeding them, they had the energy to rob food.

People like this should be enslaved and looked down upon generation after generation.

Lin Chengfeng was a little regretful at this moment about his original one-step arrangement.

How can they eat two steamed buns? How can they drink such thick porridge?

They should be given today's porridge and black bread mixed with sand.

The village head took the villagers back to their residence, and Lin Chengfeng walked towards the granary.

From a distance, I saw that the door of the granary was tightly guarded by the officials and did not open.

In front of them was a group of hundreds of civilians, who were coming in with great momentum, but they did not dare to rush forward to break open the door, even though there were only two officers in front of the door.

The leader shouted, "Fellow villagers, follow me and break down this door. There are mountains of grain inside.

With food we can take home and have the strength to rebuild our homes.”
