Now it was Wang Zhenwu's turn to panic.

Because countless people were closing in on them, and all they could hear were the shouts of the crowd beating them.

"Quickly, kill this utterly depraved villain."

If Wang Zhenwu had only a vague sense of foreboding before, hearing these words now made him genuinely panic.

Because there are just too many people protesting.

He could only deny it harshly, and even tried to smear the Jinsan Brigade.

"No! I wasn't the one who caused the riverbank to collapse. The one who caused the collapse was Jin San Brigade, Qin Lizhi. If it weren't for him leading the construction of the irrigation canal, this wouldn't have happened."

But it was no use. No matter what he said, the people had already formed a preconceived notion and deeply ingrained the image of Wang Zhenwu as a villain.

Besides, Wang Zhenwu looks menacing and doesn't seem like a good person at all.

"Catch this bad guy!"

"How dare you try to smear the Jinsan Brigade? What makes you superior to the Jinsan Brigade? How many Japanese soldiers did you fight off? What problems did you solve for the people?"

"Young Marshal Qin gave up his comfortable life to build irrigation canals and dig deep wells to help us get through the famine years."

"Anyone with a brain knows that the person who caused the riverbank to collapse must have a grudge against the young marshal, otherwise they wouldn't have done such a shameless thing!"

"I'm an old man who can judge people very well. If you all catch this bad guy, you can get the bounty that the young marshal put on my account!"

It must be said that Qin Lizhi issued this order very quickly.

In such a short time, the concept that Wang Zhenwu was a criminal has taken root in everyone's mind.

As soon as the old man finished speaking, countless people rushed towards Wang Zhenwu and the others.

Although they all had guns, they couldn't withstand so many people.

Wang Zhenwu initially took out his gun and fired at the people in front of him.

A person collapsed.

Two people collapsed.

Bright red bloodstains spread along the street.

"Oh dear, someone's dead!"

"They were so ruthless! These guys are definitely no good!"

"Grandpa, Grandpa, wake up! I'll take you to see a doctor right away!"

"Everyone, pounce on him and grab him!"

You have to admit the power of the masses! With the tacit cooperation of a group of people, these few people actually fell behind!

The only one who escaped was Wang Zhenwu.

This person was ruthless and had a gun in his hand. He acted without hesitation and was very cunning. He quickly disappeared into the crowd.

The remaining people were tied up by the crowd and marched in a large group towards the location of the Jinsan Brigade.

Lieutenant Zhang was hastily called back from the team digging the deep well. When he saw the several people who were tied up, his eyes were blazing with fury.

"Alright, Wang Daikui, Li Liangyou, it really is you guys! Where's Wang Zhenwu!"

Those men who were tied up showed no remorse whatsoever, and when they saw Zhang, they still acted arrogantly.

"Since you recognize us, then hurry up and untie us! I'm warning you, Lieutenant Zhang, our ranks in the Jin-Sui Army are about the same. If you offend us, when you return to the Jin-Sui Army, as long as we talk to Brigade Commander Han, you'll have a lot of trouble!"

Upon hearing the threats from several people, Lieutenant Zhang laughed angrily.

He wasn't one to waste words, so he went straight up and delivered two heavy slaps to both cheeks before letting go.

"Aren't you so smug? Keep being arrogant! Don't you even know whose territory you're on now?"

"Guards, take these men away and torture them severely! Beat them hard! They're the ones who caused the riverbank to collapse; they need to be taught a lesson, otherwise, we'll be letting down all the suffering people!"

"Yes, Lieutenant Zhang!"

Deputy Zhang hurriedly went to the team digging the deep well to report the situation to Qin Lizhi and Xing Xingwen, who were on site.

When the news spread among the crowd that the culprit who dug up the river embankment had been caught, everyone was in an uproar.

Many people are itching to take action, wishing they could chop these people into pieces and feed them to the dogs.

"Lieutenant Zhang, where are they? We'd like to meet these guys and see what kind of heartless, rotten people they have that would do something like this!"

"The person is still being held in the military. We need to hear the young marshal's opinion on how to deal with him."

As he spoke, Zhang, the adjutant, looked at Qin Lizhi.

"Young Marshal, what should we do with these people?"

Qin Lizhi said, "Post a notice and have everyone gather together. We'll be executed at noon tomorrow!"

Lieutenant Zhang was extremely happy to hear about this method of handling the situation, as he hated evil as much as he could.

"it is good!"

"Young Marshal, I will spread the news right away."

With that, Lieutenant Zhang went downstairs to arrange for people to go to various towns and cities to spread the news more widely.

Xing Xingwen's ideological mobilization work also began.

He addressed the strong laborers who were working, saying, "Everyone, you've all heard that! Our young marshal has caught the villain! Tomorrow is the day the villain is executed. Anyone who wants to watch the spectacle, anyone who wants to see the villain punished, spread the word and do your best to get this news out there!"

"Okay, Dr. Xing, don't worry, we've already thought about this for a while."

After the initial commotion subsided, the crowd quickly quieted down, everyone holding their breath, eagerly anticipating the arrival of noon the next day.

The eradication of evil and the elimination of wickedness are imminent!

After returning from the site of the deep well excavation, Qin Lizhi took his "camera" and went to the more severely affected area.

Many villages are now submerged in water.

Taking advantage of the fact that no one was around, Qin Lizhi took pictures of the situation and sent them to Yu Yu.

Recently, with Yu Yu's help, Qin Lizhi has learned a lot about the camera's functions.

Taking photos and videos are all easy things for him.

He took as many photos as possible to capture the extent of the disaster, including the terrain and the area affected.

Only then did I send the video over.

There's been no activity over there yet; people are probably still busy finding solutions to manage the flooding.

He didn't waste any time, because there were countless things to deal with in the military camp.

Back at the military camp, Zhang, the adjutant, ran over with sweat dripping down his forehead and whispered in his ear, "Young Marshal, there's not much grain left in the warehouse. The grain for disaster relief has all been distributed to the people, and our camp is now waiting for rice to cook."

Having weathered so many storms, even the most impulsive and energetic Deputy Zhang has become much calmer now.

Because he firmly believed that no matter what difficulties he encountered, the young marshal would be able to overcome them.
