Chapter 773

Li Ling's question was temporarily unanswered, and everyone looked at each other with concerns.

The class hierarchy that has been formed over the years has taken root in the hearts of these ordinary people, so that they can quarrel with a foreign merchant and they can rush to kill with a momentary aura, but if they really want to be enemies with the local gentry, they really cannot make such a determination unless they have to.

Li Ling saw their concerns at a glance, sighed, and decided to push them, and immediately gave his subordinates a wink. The two imperial guards next to him immediately stepped forward, squatted in front of the two men in a coma, and shook their hands and slapped them with two big ears, waving them, and directly woke up the unconscious person.

Then before the other party could attack, the blade had hit their throats, allowing them to quickly wake up their situation again, and dared not make any changes: "What do you... want to do?"

"It's nothing, I just want you to tell the truth. Tell everyone who you are and why you come here?"

"We are the people of this county. We came here after knowing that you had robbed our food..." The man said this for a moment, but he felt a pain in his throat and his voice stopped. Then he heard the person in front of him say, "At this time, he dares to lie. Do you really think I dare not kill you? Do you think your identity can still be hidden?" As he spoke, his hand was filled with force, and his throat had cut open, and blood had flowed out.

How could such a heavy pressure between life and death be able to withstand such an ordinary person who is a guardian? After feeling that his life is really in danger, he couldn't help it and said, "I said, I said... I am the guardian of the Zhou family, my name is Tian Qi..."

"Hit louder, have you not eaten?" The Jun Ye in front of him was obviously not satisfied, and immediately asked again, adding a little force to his hands at the same time.

Tian Qi, who felt that his throat was about to be cut off, had no other care at all, so he could only shout according to the other party's wishes: "My name is Tian Qi, which is the guardian of Master Zhou's house. I followed the team on the order of Master Zhou, looking for an opportunity to provoke a dispute, and then led everyone to grab the food..."

As soon as he finished speaking, another man who was constrained also shouted loudly. He was the thug of Mr. Wang's family, so the purpose of infiltrating the crowd was naturally the same.

As the two of them admitted their identities and purposes one after another, the last suspicion of the people also disappeared. Then they looked at Li Ling hesitantly and embarrassedly, not knowing what to react.

"Dear Guang'an villagers, you have also heard that those unkind men not only stole the food that should belong to you, but also used you to use your casualties to ruin my business. Do you really plan to endure this kind of thing?

"You have to endure this time today, and the people who come will definitely become more severe. By then, it will not only be as simple as you will be hungry. Maybe even your fields, your real estate, even your family, and your ancestral graves will be taken away by them! You have been accepting this way, but you dare not fight back?

"You did not have this ability before, but today is different. So many people gathered together and had enough strength. The brothers under my command were just for those who were unkind to know that we and the common people should not be insulted. Then let me go, take their food, and make them pay the price!"

Such slogan-like shouts made the people silence at first, and then they all showed excitement, especially some people who had been bullied by the wealthy businessmen and gentry before, which ignited the passion and anger in their hearts.

So, three or five people shouted loudly: "Take their food and throw them into their house!"

Then there were dozens of people, and finally hundreds of people shouted loudly at the same time: "Take their food and throw them into their houses! Take their food and throw them into their houses!"

The sounds of hundreds of people gathered together. The more everyone shouted, the more excited they became, the more they were, the less timid and worried they had before. Without Li Ling said anything, they turned around together.

Seeing this, Li Ling smiled. Guang'an is actually a huge haystack. He just needs to throw a torch inside to ignite a huge fire. He only needs to guide him and leave everything behind to them!

However, he immediately turned around and made a gesture to Xue Jiong and the others. Everyone in Baiyitang was shocked by the scene in front of him - they really didn't expect Li Ling to turn the situation around so easily and burn the fire to those opponents. This operation was only for the turbulent people in the world who could not think of it or do it.

It was not until Li Ling clapped his hands that they finally came back to their senses. When they saw his hands movements and knew what he meant, they each calmed down, strode to catch up with the people's team, led the way forward, and took this team of hundreds of people to counterattack.

After Li Ling asked someone to move all the injured to the street and fend for themselves, he returned to the warehouse. His face still looked calm and gentle. For him, today's fight was just a small fight, and it was not even a warm-up.

...

In the Guang'an County yamen and the magistrate Huo were chatting with two assistant officials. For them, the game seemed to be very relaxed at the moment, but it was just a foreign merchant. With the joint efforts of local gentry such as Shu Wenqing, there was no way to be defeated. They could have predicted that the sharp and powerful people would have lost their money in the end.

At this time, a subordinate came to the door with a strange expression: "Several adults..."

"Why, is there a result?" County Magistrate Huo asked casually, and then he found that the subordinate's expression was a little wrong. But before he could ask again, the other party had reported: "Sir, those unruly people have turned back."

"Looking back? Did they snatch all the food in Ximen Warehouse?" The county magistrate couldn't help but ask curiously.

"No, they didn't carry anything on their hands and were still walking in groups, faster than when they went to Ximen Warehouse. They headed straight to Nancheng."

"Huh?" Several officials suddenly realized that something was wrong. County Magistrate Huo responded even more quickly and immediately ordered: "Hurry up and let Qian Ban lead a few brothers to follow and see where they are going. If something really happens, please stop them!" A deep feeling of uneasiness had already spread in his heart, and the development of things had begun to deviate from his expectations.

The county government's reaction was extremely fast. Even when they received murder cases in the past, they were not as fast as they were today. However, when Qian Ban led people out of the county government, they could only see a tail of the vast team, and it seemed that there were more people than when they went to Ximen Warehouse before. This made them even less daring to neglect, so they hurriedly chased them and headed straight to the south.

After chasing all the way, the crowd in front finally slowed down. Before Qian Banting could breathe a sigh of relief, he was thinking about how to inquire about the news, but there was a conflict in front of him, and the shouts of scolding came from afar, because there was still some distance, and it was impossible to see which party he was arguing with.

"That's there..." Qian Bantou quickly took a few steps forward, put a shed in his hand and looked from a distance, then his face changed: "Then... isn't that Qijia warehouse?"

The yamen next to him also looked carefully and quickly echoed: "Boss, it's Qijia's warehouse."

"Why did they go there? If something happens... hurry up!" As the head of the county, Qian Xiao knew how important it was recently. If something really happened, he would not dare to say anything else, and he would definitely be implicated. It is hard to say whether the position of the head of the team can be kept.

Thinking of this level, he did not dare to be negligent at all. He rushed forward a few steps, running, and shouted loudly: "What do you want to do? You are so brave, you dare to rob your house in the blue sky and the sun..." Then before he finished speaking, he was stunned halfway, because he saw a scene that made him even more shocked-

In front of Qijia's warehouse, the two sides had already started to fight. The dozen or twenty warehouse guards who thought they could easily suppress ordinary people were beaten to the ground by another group of people and cried for help. Around them, the ordinary people who had been honest and beaten and scolded, all looked fierce, either angry or excited, fisted and kicked the fallen people one by one, and then stepped on them one by one and went in.

The defense line that should have been able to defend the warehouse was like paper. Before the county government arrived, they were killed and the shouts of the people also came to the back: "As a result, a lot of food was hoarded here..."

"I know a few of them are Shu Wenqing's people. That person is right. They are really cheating and using us!"

"Get in and rob us of the food!"

At this moment, the once tameful people had turned into fierce wolf. They shouted and kept rushing forward, breaking through the door that had not yet been closed, overturning and smashing all obstacles blocking their way forward, and smearing all the obstacles blocking their way forward, and stunning the entire warehouse.

Then in a blink of an eye, several people carried a few scoops out, took the iron hook at the door of the store and pulled it. With a clatter, the white rice and flour poured out like flowing water. After a moment of a moment, everyone became even more angry: "As long as they hid a lot of food here, they kept lying to us that there was no food in the city!"

This made more people keep rushing in and bringing out more food. As for the shopkeepers and mates in the warehouse, they were either beaten to the ground for teeth or escaped from this place of trouble. In front of hundreds of angry people, they completely lost their power of resistance.

Not only did the people in the warehouse dare not to oppose the angry people, but Qian Banto, who was anxious to come, was completely stunned when he saw this scene, and then stopped decisively and did not dare to go on again.
