In the end, it was Chen Qingshan and his fellow refugees who took them away.
The villagers of Red Leaf Village didn't dare utter a single...nonsense.
The villagers of Hongye Village realized they couldn't control Chen Qingshan.
He turned around and saw Liu Quan.
He sneered, "Quan, you're from Red Leaf Village, yet you don't care about the people in your own village, instead you're only interested in staying in other villages, tsk tsk!"
Liu Quan chuckled and said, "They've come all this way, thinking they can bully me? Come on, come on, my men suddenly don't want to take these refugees away anymore..."
Wang Wu had been looking down, as if waiting to die.
Hearing their words, he suddenly looked up in surprise.
Hehe, that's interesting.
Zheng Lizheng pointed at the man's head and started cursing: "Idiot... Regardless of whether he's in the village or not, I'm just asking you, did he actually help just now?"
Chen Qingshan smiled and said, "Old Liu, it seems the people in your village don't respect you much. They don't even show any gratitude for something that could cost them their lives?"
Then he suddenly smiled and said to Zheng Lizheng, "Uncle Zheng, do you know that the first person willing to come out and help the village resist the refugees was Old Liu? He took the initiative to talk to my dad and Xian Ge about this matter. Tsk!"
Different, tsk tsk!
Zheng Lizheng's face was ugly. He glared at the person who had been speaking sarcastically earlier, then looked at Liu Quan with a smile and a humble expression.
"Quan, don't be angry. Your uncle has some loose silver here. Take it and have some herbal tea to calm down!"
Liu Quan chuckled: "No, I'm not angry. I just think some people are just plain stupid and have some really bad habits, and I feel sorry for them!"
Chen Lizheng and I came over from next door, risking our lives to save people. It's one thing if we don't even express our gratitude.
Instead, they acted strangely and sarcastically.
This guy... doesn't have a single bit of gratitude in his heart!
Anyone who associates with this person might get stabbed in the back at any time!
Upon hearing this, many villagers began to carefully consider the man.
His face was full of disdain.
The man's face stiffened slightly!
I originally wanted to secretly show off and flaunt my superiority.
Liu Quan calmly broke the loose silver in Old Man Zheng's hand!
"Hehe, thank you very much... Uncle Zheng."
"Brothers, keep a close eye on the refugees."
Wang Wu was taken aback.
Damn it, didn't you say you weren't going to care anymore?
...
Hello!
But... nobody cares about him anymore.
at this time.
Shi Lang and Duan Wangshu led a dozen or so yamen runners and fifty of their household servants.
Zhou Xun led twenty men clad in black armor, each carrying a powerful crossbow, straight towards... Qingxia Village.
The three men remained silent throughout the journey, urging their horses onward at breakneck speed, fearing that something terrible might happen!
Strangely, Yingzhou Prefecture, under the arrangement of the imperial envoys and constables, has already begun disaster relief efforts.
However, a small group of migrants still wandered the roads, especially in the countryside where the number of migrants gradually increased.
Many of the displaced people wore expressions of jealousy and resentment.
"Please don't let anything really happen!"
They soon arrived at Qingxia Village.
Thankfully, there wasn't the blood flowing freely or the corpses piled up haphazardly as I had imagined!
“Look, what’s that?” Zhou Xun pointed with his riding whip.
Suddenly, he was taken aback.
The others looked at each other in bewilderment!
It looks like... a mushroom head?
Moreover, deep trenches were dug in the ground!
A patrolman started shouting at the top of his lungs, "Uncle Gui, come here quickly! The official is coming?"
Chen Gui and Chen Qingshan quickly went over to check the situation.
They ordered someone to place the ladder horizontally across the trench.
"We are from the county town, Duan Dianshi and Shi Zhubu."
A young man's voice rang out!
"father!"
The two middle-aged men breathed a sigh of relief.
Wait for these people to arrive.
Zhou Xun: "Is Mr. Zhou alright?"
Duan Wangshu explained, "This is the Provincial Surveillance Commissioner of Yingzhou Prefecture."
Chen Gui nodded. "Mr. Zhou is reading in the village."
Zhou Xun then relaxed.
The surrounding road was already covered with fine pebbles, and stone rollers were compacting them back and forth.
Zhou Xun looked at the apathetic refugees, who were still working diligently.
Many villagers in the surrounding area shouted at them!
He was holding a whip in his hand!
"Hurry up! Whoever is slow won't get any steamed buns for lunch!"
Zhou Xun was speechless.
This is... treating people like manual laborers!
ah?
Chen Gui explained with a smile, "We have a fair employment relationship. The village provides the steamed buns, and they come to do the work. It's reasonable, isn't it?"
Meanwhile, Liu Quan arrived from a distance with more than fifty people.
The three officials were all numb.
Wang Wu saw officials and yamen runners coming over.
He knelt on the ground, shouting frantically, "My lords, you've finally come! Please save me!"
The people of Qingxia Village are simply like evil spirits.
"Waaah, ten hours a day of work, paving roads, one steamed bun and pickled vegetables for lunch, sleeping with pigs, it smells awful."
We wouldn't even sleep with a pig at home!
The man was in tears.
Liu Quan stepped forward and kicked the man to the ground!
"If it weren't for the villagers' prior precautions against you, and the advance preparations made by Uncle Gui, the village head, and my master, you people would have been in trouble."
"You people might be the ones to ruin us!"
He lashed out with his whip, striking those people hard.
The other villagers also lashed out at the displaced person who was yelling the loudest.
Zhou Xun was slightly taken aback.
Zhou Yu stepped out and said quietly, "It was you who planned to seize the village first, wasn't it? If you hadn't come, you wouldn't have ended up like this. You deserve this punishment. If you ask me, the village actually did a good deed!"
