Zhao Wei was certain that he had given too much, allowing these traitors to eat too much and become rebellious.
They wanted excitement and wanted to see Zhao Wei get into trouble. It seemed that as a young man, he had to take the lead in everything, and his voice in the crowd was getting louder and louder.
Then, what’s even more amazing is that there are people above him. Why are so many people praising him?
All the good things were taken by the Zhao family, so they wanted to add some gamble to his affairs. The more troubled he was, the happier they were.
I have to say, these people are really mean.
Thinking back to the time when we had no food to eat, we were all so pitiful.
After finally having a few days of good life, my skin starts to itch.
Zhao Wei naturally couldn't give such ungrateful people a good result.
They get what they deserve. They are the ones who have caused the evil they have done, so they are reaping the consequences.
But we will have to wait a while.
Wait until the fire all over the mountains is put out.
Now, we can only detain people in the town.
The village is in chaos now, and it is possible that someone will be bewitched and let them go.
The mountain is really big and the fire spread very quickly.
As soon as Zhao Wei had his people move the food away, the temperature in this place became unbearable and it would soon catch fire.
The fire burned in many directions, and the most serious one was Haozi Village.
Their people were not prepared at all.
When the fire broke out, the people in the village were still acting as usual, eating and drinking as usual, and not taking anything to heart.
Some people were even in the mood to make fun of how miserable the Yushudun next door was and how they were all just watching the fun.
Then, when thick smoke filled the entire village, these people could no longer laugh.
It's so scary. This smoke can kill people and it also has a burning feeling.
If people stay in there for a long time, the smoke will make them accustomed.
"Run! Our village is going to burn down!"
"What's going on? Why did the fire burn here?"
"What do those people do for a living? Do they want to kill us?"
"Ahhhh...my house...is on fire! Can someone help me..."
…
Desperate cries rang out one after another, and everyone was in despair.
They didn't want to escape because they still had belongings and many of their things had not been moved in time.
If they didn't put out the fire, they would lose everything.
It’s okay that the weather is hot now, but when winter comes, how will they survive?
If they didn't escape, they would not be able to bear the thick smoke here.
They couldn't put out the fire here either.
It was so desperate that these people knelt at the entrance of the village and cried their hearts out.
No one will sympathize with them or try to save them from the evil they have themselves committed.
Where are the people?
At this time in Yushudun, the reinforcements called by Zhao Wei were helping to extinguish the nearby forest fire.
Fortunately, there was a canal blocking the way, so the fire did not eventually burn into the village.
However, Zhao Wei's home was too close to the mountain and was inevitably affected.
Of course, only the roof was burned, and the things inside the house had not yet been burned before the fire was put out manually.
On the third day after the fire was extinguished, Elm Tree was shrouded in a burnt atmosphere.
Zhao Wei stepped on the ashes on the ground and directed the villagers to act in three groups: one group repaired the burned beams, the second group cleaned up the mountain land burned by the fire, and the third group took farm tools to turn the soil in the rice fields - those plots of land contaminated by toxins had to be repeatedly neutralized with wood ash before they could be cultivated again.
As for those rice seedlings that could have been saved, none of them survived the fire.
Obviously, they had even dug up the herbs for detoxification, but all their efforts were in vain at this moment.
The two experts were so distressed that they clamored to leave. Zhao Wei had to spend a lot of effort to convince them to stay and guide the villagers to continue growing rice.
While things in the village were going on in an orderly manner, Erxiao passed by carrying a hoe, with mud on his face.
"Boss, someone from Haozi Village came crying for food. Their village was burned to the ground, it's such a pity. Can you take a look... do you want to..."
"No." Zhao Wei interrupted him, pointing at the poisoned rice seedlings drying on the ridge of the field, "Let them settle the account of spreading poison on our fields first."
Hearing the cry of a child in the distance, he turned around and saw Yunxiu distributing her own cornmeal to several lonely elderly families in the village. Her heart softened, but she didn't give in.
The dungeon where the traitor was imprisoned was located in an old granary outside the town. When Zhao Wei walked in with a few men holding long whips, these people were all in the corner, trembling.
When he saw Zhao Wei, he immediately knelt down.
"Please, sir, please be magnanimous and spare us this time!"
"We swear that we will never do such a thing again in our lifetime, otherwise we will die without any descendants!"
In order to survive, these people will say anything.
But the more I say this, the more false these words seem.
"Just kneel down and beg for mercy?"
Zhao Wei's long whip hit the wooden pillars of the granary with a "snap", causing the dust on them to fall down.
He looked down at the group of traitors, without a trace of emotion in his eyes.
"When you helped outsiders to poison the rice seedlings, why didn't you think this day would come?"
"When you set fire to the mountain, why didn't you think this day would come?"
