Beautiful things can make people feel better. At least the appearance of Feng Ling and Huo Jinxing calmed people's manic mood.
Even the voice became very low, for fear of disturbing the beautiful couple in front of him.
"Xian~" Oh, that's not right! It shouldn't be a fairy, just a resemblance. "Gu~" Which girl is this? She looks too pretty.
Feng Ling covered her mouth with her hands and smiled shyly, "Oh, uncle, I'm not some fairy lady. I live in Heshan Village in Ningjiang Town."
Well, he didn't want to call her a fairy, but look at this girl, a country girl, so kind and simple, how could she be a bad person?
Although, she didn't look rustic at all, she couldn't be lying, could she? Her home wasn't far away, and she would know it after a quick check.
Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to do for a moment.
Most of the people are simple and honest, but some of them came here on purpose to target the Bai family, and the relief grain came out of this courtyard, so the people here must have a close relationship with the Bai family.
So what are you waiting for? Just mess it up.
"Miss, I heard that the disaster relief food was sent out from this yard, right?"
Feng Ling was stunned. What does this have to do with disaster relief food? Shouldn't they go to the government office to get it?
Feng Ling looked confused, but Huo Jinxing had already received the message from the secret guard and understood the whole story.
Ha! As the saying goes, "a little kindness is often followed by a heavy grudge." These fools ultimately betrayed Feng Ling's kindness.
"You go back to the house, I'll handle it." When dealing with a fool, mercy is not feasible, and it is not in line with his usual style.
"What's wrong?" Aren't these people here to collect food? That's right, people who come to collect food wouldn't kick down the door. That's not the way or attitude to ask for help at all. It would seem like revenge.
"You go in." Huo Jinxing's patience seemed to have reached its limit, and cold air was coming out of him.
"It's not a big deal, why bother?" Could it be that the seal on this guy has loosened? Why is he so angry? Why is he arguing with some strangers?
Huo Jinxing had a gloomy face because Feng Ling didn't know the reason. These people could be said to be coming for Feng Ling, which was more annoying than slapping him in the face directly.
"Hmph, that's right." Huo Jinxing snorted coldly. After making a gesture, he crossed his arms over his chest and faced the people. These people were so pitiful and pathetic.
"You're right. The disaster relief grain and seeds were bought by this foolish woman in front of you with ten thousand taels of gold and all sorts of tricks. What do you think of this?"
Everyone gasped and glared at each other angrily, "Why?!"
"Yes, I heard that disaster relief food is obtained from the underworld. Is that true?"
"That's right. How can we eat things from the underworld? Is that real food? Isn't it something made of dead flesh?"
"Things related to the dead are unlucky, and you want us to eat them? Are you trying to kill us all?"
"Why do you want to kill us? We have no grudges against each other."
"Are you colluding with the Bai family to plot something unspeakable? Are you silencing County Magistrate An and Miss An because they knew the truth?"
"So evil! She looks innocent, but her mind is so vicious."
The peace was originally short-lived, but after Huo Jinxing admitted the source of the grain, the people became angry again.
I don't know who started it, but suddenly rotten eggs and leaves were thrown in the direction of Feng Ling and the others.
"Kill you evil-minded people!"
"The male prostitutes and female thieves are shameless, beat them to death!"
Some people even threw stones directly, both big and small.
However, none of these things were thrown on Feng Ling and Huo Jinxing.
In the blink of an eye, the secret guards descended from the sky and formed a human wall, not only blocking the things but also bouncing them all back.
"Catch him!" Huo Jinxing's face was cold and he showed no mercy.
After hearing this, the secret guards surrounded those people and kicked them to the ground. It didn't take long before they tied up all of them, leaving no one behind.
A rough count revealed that there were nearly a hundred people!
There were people outside who heard the noise and gathered around, but they were intercepted by the secret guards.
"What are you doing? What do you want to do? We are good citizens. Do we still have a king..."
Before the word "law" was uttered, those who were shouting were slapped in the face again, and their mouths swelled up immediately. No one dared to speak out anymore.
Most people have a bad habit of bullying the weak and fearing the strong. Huo Jinxing has wanted to do this for a long time.
If Feng Ling hadn't been here and hadn't had to take care of the baby in her belly, these idiots would have been beheaded long ago.
Just look at the efficient methods of those secret guards and you will know that Huo Jinxing never likes to talk nonsense.
"Who told you that these grains came from the underworld? Huh?" He clearly said that they were bought with ten thousand taels of gold, couldn't you hear him?
As soon as Huo Jinxing finished speaking, the secret guards started slapping the people who were shouting the loudest, and the slaps were loud.
Just then, Huo Yan and the snake demon rushed back.
"What the hell are you doing, you stupid bastards? Do you even realize your situation?
It has been a drought for more than half a year, and there has been no harvest. The food reserves are limited, and you are about to run out of food. Even the nearby state capital cannot allocate extra food to save you.
If we dispatch from thousands of miles away, not only will the cost be high, but it will also take too long. Do you want to starve to death?
We set up an altar, not only to pray for rain, but also to ask the ghost messenger to bring us food from other places, and it cost us a full ten thousand taels of gold.
Your Xingcheng County is located in a remote area. The court has mercy on you and your tax revenue is the lowest in all of Sheng'an, with less than 10,000 taels of silver collected in a year.
And you guys ended up wasting the imperial court's ten thousand taels of gold! Are you, these ignorant fools, worthy of this?!
Come here, please register for me. Those who come to make trouble today will not be given disaster relief food and grain seeds, and taxes will be restored to the normal regulations of other states and counties.
After the registration was completed, the people were coaxed out and the troublemakers were detained.
I have to add one more announcement. We paid a huge price to have the food delivered by the ghost messenger. If anyone refuses to accept it, we will not force them to accept it.
Bah! What a joke! I, a prince, eat these grains, but you stupid people are so expensive. "
Huo Yan asked people to pick up and store the food along the way, and his heart ached.
Let these ungrateful people die.
Stupid, so stupid, they don't want the free things, but want to starve to death. Who is pampering them?
The most hateful people are the rumormongers.
Huo Yan had just finished sending these people away, and they hadn't left yet.
On the other side, Su Miao, wearing a white dress stained with a lot of blood, was hurried over, supported by her maid and nanny.
Her feet were dragging on the ground and her face was flushed. She was obviously very ill, but she had to come and apologize.
Because the maid who had escaped earlier was already dead, and the severed head was thrown directly on her body, which frightened Doctor Li, who was treating her, to faint.
It goes without saying that this brutal method was the work of Huo Jinxing.
