He didn't care, but he was afraid that Zhu Lei would give away the second lady, and then he would never be able to get out of prison.
Thinking of this, Liu Quan glared at Zhu Lei fiercely. He was a guy who did not do anything good but only caused trouble. Before coming here, he had placed all his hopes on Zhu Lei.
As a result, the food was not obtained, and Mengyue was not driven out of the village. That was fine, if it failed once, she could try again.
But what should they do if they are blocked by people? He can see clearly that there are definitely four thousand people.
What Liu Quan saw was indeed correct. Including Xinghua Village, the seven villages together had only more than 4,000 people. Now that they all came here at once, there would be that many people.
If this happened four months ago, when Mengyue had not yet come to Xinghua Village, if Zhu Lei brought people to Xinghua Village to steal food, there would really be no one to help.
Because they all knew about Zhulin Village, they didn't even have time to hide, let alone go up.
But now it’s different. Mengyue gave them hope and let them see that they can live a better life in the future. They can give their children a better life.
This was undoubtedly a blessing from heaven. The imperial court had never cared about them. Every autumn harvest season, they only collected taxes. Moreover, before Yang, every county magistrate had found ways to exploit them, making their already difficult lives even worse.
At the foot of the cliff, you will encounter despair many times. Suddenly, someone hands you a rope of hope. Needless to say, you will try your best to grab it.
If anyone dares to reach out and destroy their hopes, they will definitely defend it to the death.
This is the case with the people in the seven villages. If Zhu Lei just wanted to steal food, they might be afraid of the military force of Zhulin Village and dare not fight back.
But it’s different if Zhu Lei sets his sights on Mengyue. They will definitely fight to the death.
"Everyone, don't let anyone from Zhulin Village escape."
The people of Zhulin Village, who were so arrogant just now, did not show any fear when they saw the thousands of villagers surrounding them.
Not until they all fell did the people of Zhulin Village recover from their original belligerence.
At the entrance of Xinghua Village, a strong smell of blood filled the air, slowly forming an indescribable pungent odor.
However, as their strength gradually depleted and they were dissuaded by those around them, both sides began to realize that such a fight would only cause more pain to each other and plunge the village into a deeper crisis.
However, when they saw Zhu Lei approaching a man with his head bowed, they had a bad feeling.
The seven village chiefs looked at each other, wondering who the man was who could make Zhu Lei bow his head, but no one knew.
Liu Quan was now in trouble with Zhu Lei, but even if he was unwilling, he had to bite the bullet and step forward, otherwise they might not be able to get out.
After all, no matter how fierce the people Zhu Lei led were, it was impossible for them to escape easily when surrounded by thousands of people.
He has been appreciated by the second lady, and even greater glory and wealth are waiting for him in the future. He cannot fail here without getting his job done.
But it is impossible to make him humble himself.
Ever since he followed the second young lady, he swore that he would never again bow down to anyone of lower status than himself.
Thinking of this, Liu Quan was very confident. He signaled Zhu Lei to stand aside and he stepped forward.
