They just wanted to live a better life and not go hungry, but they never thought that their village would be destroyed.
This was not the result they wanted, so when Master Liu said the word "Prince Chen", he knew that the food could not be saved.
But even so, he still didn't give up and wanted to try one more time.
In fact, when Wang Erniu went to Taohua Village and informed the villagers that people from Zhulin Village were coming to steal food, he knew the situation was serious.
Before inviting the villagers to gather at Xinghua Village, he asked his son to harness the ox cart and rush to the county to report to the authorities.
He couldn't guarantee whether County Magistrate Yang would send someone over, nor could he imagine what they would do if County Magistrate Yang also asked them to steal food.
Anyway, it's a gamble, betting that County Magistrate Yang is a good official who will consider the people.
However, he did not think nothing of it. He thought that since County Magistrate Yang was able to open the granary to release grain and provide relief to the refugees, it showed that County Magistrate Yang still cared about the people.
Who are the refugees? They are the people of Guangping Prefecture and Yongkang Prefecture, not from Qingshan Prefecture or Wuning County. If County Magistrate Yang can provide relief, then County Magistrate Yang will be even more at ease with these local people and will not sit idly by and watch others rob them of their food.
Even if the person who came was from Prince Chen's side, County Magistrate Yang would not dare to confront him, so they would just accept it and consider themselves unlucky.
But if County Magistrate Yang is willing to take care of them, they can keep their food, wouldn't that be better?
With this idea in mind, he asked his son to report the case to the authorities, and now it seems that his bet was right.
"What's going on? Who's coming to Xinghua Village to force us to buy grain? Don't they think highly of this county?"
The moment Liu Quan came to Yangxian County, he put his head on the ground and didn't dare to look up.
Zhu Lei was different. The moment he saw the officers approaching, he suddenly realized something and shouted, "Sir, please help me! The people from Xinghua Village killed my grandson Si Jin. They cannot be let off easily."
"Sir, look, my grandson died so tragically. My grandson and I depended on each other for survival. Now that he's gone, what's the point of me living?"
"Oh... Sir, you are the father of the magistrate, you must avenge my grandson and catch the murderer!"
"Wu... Sijin, my grandson, your death is so tragic. How could you bear to leave your grandfather alone? If you die, what will I do?"
"Si Jin, Si Jin, my grandson, please don't leave me alone. Come back, come back soon."
“Woo…”
“Woo…”
“Woo…”
Zhu Lei hugged Zhu Sijin and cried, then let go and crawled towards Yang Zhijin on his knees, crying silently as he crawled.
Zhu Lei's tearful and snotty appearance stunned not only Yang Zhijin and the yamen runners, but also the villagers.
They couldn't understand, they really couldn't understand, how someone who was thinking of gaining benefits from his grandson's death the moment before could become like this in front of County Magistrate Yang.
The villagers looked at Zhu Lei with doubts, while Yang Zhijin looked at Zhu Lei, a grown man, crying bitterly while holding a young man covered in blood with his eyes closed in front of him. Now he had his hands around the man's legs.
