After separating from my mother-in-law, I raised my children, built a house, and filled the granary

The crowd behind him was ready to move, but no one took the lead to break down the door.

Although it was no problem to capture the two officers in front of them, no one dared to step forward and pull them away.

The person leading the way takes a step forward, and the people behind him take a step forward, but no one passes him.

He gritted his teeth and looked like he was about to charge forward.

However, his years of awe for the officials helped him overcome the barrier in his heart.

If everyone attacks together, he is not afraid, but if he is asked to lead the charge alone, he is still a little scared.

If this is investigated later, he would be the ringleader and would be guilty of the most serious crime.

If these people rushed in with him, and the law did not punish the group, he did not believe that the government would still behead all of them.

"Everyone, come together!" He pulled the people around him with his left and right hands.

But the two men became even more panicked when he pulled them like that, and stepped back hard.

When the others saw the two men retreat, they also retreated.

Only that man stood in front, confronting the two officers at the granary door.

Before he could retreat, Guo Yuanchen and his men surrounded the crowd.

"You bold and unruly people actually openly attacked the granary. This is tantamount to conspiracy to rebel and the nine generations of your clan should be executed." As soon as Guo Yuanchen finished speaking, two officers arrested the leading man and prevented him from moving.

When the man heard that his entire clan was going to be executed, and that his life was in danger, he cried out heartbreakingly, "Fellow villagers, this Guo Yuanchen will not let us live.

We're starving now, and we'll starve to death sooner or later. But this so-called "father and mother" would rather we starve to death than give us food. Remember the initial resettlement site? It was this bastard official who made us stay in the mud without a single tile, and didn't even give us a drop of water.

Now we have lost our home and our relatives, and even if we don’t starve to death, we will be beheaded.

It would be better if we didn't do anything big today and robbed the granary. At least we can still survive!"

The man roared in one breath, leaving the officers unable to react.

When Guo Yuanchen heard the man call him a "dog official," he stepped forward and kicked him, "You troublemaker! You actually incited the people! You deserve to die!"

"Fellow villagers, they are few in number, and we are many. We are all going to die anyway, so we don't want to die of starvation! A starving ghost doesn't have the energy to reincarnate!"

The man continued to roar loudly regardless of the pain in his body.

The people, who had been somewhat nervous just now, began to get restless when they heard that they were going to starve to death.

You can die, but you can't starve to death.

The old man said that ghosts who died of starvation could not walk the path of reincarnation.

We're all going to die anyway, so we might as well fight.

People in the crowd began to fight to escape the encirclement of the officers and tried to rush to the granary.

Guo Yuanchen was a little dumbfounded at first. He never thought that this group of unruly people would actually dare to rob.

The officers stopped these people.

The magistrate had previously instructed that large-scale bloodshed must not occur.

They also didn't dare to use knives directly and killed the people as if they were real bandits.

"You didn't actually rob the granary. If you had knocked the door open, your crime would have been confirmed.

You have committed the crime of killing nine generations of your clan. Even if one day you are on the road of reincarnation, how can you face your ancestors and the innocent people in your clan who were implicated by you?

And you haven't committed the unforgivable sin.

If you return to the right path today, then this official and Lord Guo will forgive what happened today and will not report it to the court."

When the crowd heard Lin Chengfeng's words, they stopped confronting the officers.

"Lord Lin, is what you said true? You won't pursue what happened to us today?" A man in the crowd asked expectantly.

No one wants to die, and if they die, their entire clan will be implicated. This crime is too heavy and too great, and they simply cannot bear it.

Just now, I was also overwhelmed by the passionate atmosphere in the crowd. I felt that since there were so many people, no one could catch me.

But now, not only will he be implicated, but also his clansmen.

They don't want to.

The others in the crowd looked at Lin Chengfeng eagerly, waiting for his answer.

"Yeah." The cold voice fell.

The restlessness in the crowd suddenly quieted down.

"you……"

"Cover that man's mouth." When the two officers heard Lin Chengfeng's words, they immediately stuffed a piece of cloth into the man's mouth.

"My fellow villagers, you have all been in charge of your own household. If you only spend food and never take it in, and you live on empty food, with so many people, you will definitely run out of food.

I know you think that we officials are withholding your food.

But ask yourself, have you been living better during this period than at home?

If everyone does this, they will just have to wait for the imperial court to allocate food.

Sooner or later, Dai Viet will be devoured, and by then you will no longer be good citizens of Dai Viet, but slaves of other countries."

The people lowered their heads and dared not look at Lin Chengfeng.

Lin Chengfeng whispered a few words in Guo Yuanchen's ear. Guo Yuanchen was still thinking about arguing, but after seeing Lin Chengfeng's sharp eyes, he nodded helplessly.

"Today, everyone wants to open this gate to see how much food is inside. I will let you go in and see how much food is left in the entire Luzhou City."

As soon as Lin Chengfeng finished speaking, the people in front of him looked incredulous, and even the man being escorted by the police was shocked.

The officers opened the gate, but the people who wanted to break through the gate did not dare to move.

Lin Chengfeng took a look and walked towards the granary. "Since no one dares to be the first to step into the granary, then I will take the lead. You all follow me."

The officers escorted the man towards the warehouse, and the people behind him finally moved, following the officers, not daring to overtake them.

The granary is so big that only when you walk inside can you see the grain in sacks against the corner of the wall.

Even though the exact number of bags was unknown, everyone knew that this amount of food would not last long for the people in the entire city of Luzhou.

"What you see now is all the food in Luzhou City.

There have been constant natural disasters this year, and even the national treasury does not have much food left.

How much grain will be allocated to Luzhou?"

Lin Chengfeng's words were like a stone thrown into a calm lake, arousing the uneasiness of everyone present.

"Considering that you did not actually commit any crime, I will forgive you for what happened today.

But this kind of thing must never happen again, or I will not let anyone off the hook."

After Lin Chengfeng finished speaking, he looked at the man being held at the side and said, "The leader must be severely punished."

After hearing Lin Chengfeng's words, the people nodded one after another, and then looked at the man viciously.

Originally, they didn't have to break the law, fortunately, Lord Lin didn't bother with them.

"Everyone, go back first. After these few days, Lord Guo and I have figured out a reconstruction plan, and then you can all go home."

As Lin Chengfeng finished speaking, the people dispersed.
