Chapter 254 How to put on this official robe?
In the north city, the wind and snow are strong.
The first batch of food delivered was blocked by people who rushed over from all directions after hearing the news before it even entered the city gate, making it impossible to move forward.
If Deputy General Wu had not come with his troops to take over, the armored and sword-wielding soldiers would have had a deterrent effect on the large number of starving people, and the situation would have been in chaos long ago.
But the current situation is not optimistic.
Lin Yun's brows furrowed as he spoke rapidly, "The hungry people who arrived are afraid of the soldiers' blades and can't cause any trouble for the time being. The trouble is with the existing wealthy and powerful people in the city."
Chen Nianhe plundered a group of people with a single blow, but the remaining ones were the largest and the most troublesome.
Those who can survive under the fierce knife of Chen Nianhe are not stupid people.
Even a fool wouldn't be able to keep the wealth in his hands and survive until now.
When Chen Nianhe was sharpening his knives, these people took action without waiting for Chen Nianhe to make a move, and took out a lot of things to support the Northwest Camp.
Many people also expressed their determination with tears in their eyes, showing their determination to overcome difficulties and share life and death with General Chen, which moved the listeners and the witnesses to tears.
In fact, not a single word said by the speaker was true, and the listener did not take a single word seriously.
They are all old foxes with many years of experience. This kind of nonsense can be ignored just by listening to it once.
Taking it seriously is really stupid.
However, even if the other party is hypocritical, the things he actually took out are his token of allegiance. Chen Nianhe took the other party's things, and no matter how thick-skinned he is, he cannot take them again openly.
Moreover, once someone says that he has encountered a problem and asks General Chen for help, it would be difficult for General Chen to refuse too obviously.
Although General Chen really wanted to kill a few more people and had no intention of helping, he had to endure it for now.
This inhuman problem was thrown to Sang Zhixia.
Sang Zhixia thought about what Chen Nianhe said, and her face turned unhappy: "You are wrong about that."
"The wealthy and powerful value their lives very much and would not bother to loot or destroy things. They don't bother either."
The problem is those hungry people who are really on the brink of starvation and are incited by the desire to survive.
They can't be beaten or killed, and they can't be driven away or persuaded.
Once blood is seen in the crowd, it will trigger even greater chaos.
People who have been in desperate situations may become numb.
But as soon as they see a glimmer of hope, those who have long been numb will go completely crazy.
The person who had been hiding in the dark and planning this shocking plot had been waiting for a long time to see this scene.
Sang Zhixia frowned and said, "What do we do with the troublemakers?"
"As you said, no one is killed. They just temporarily arrested him."
Deputy General Wu was a man of iron will. He had originally planned to hack to death anyone who tried to loot the place, to serve as a warning to others.
When Sang Zhixia got the news, he quickly stopped the man.
Lin Yun was puzzled and said, "Boss, if we don't cut off the top talents at once, there will definitely be a lot of trouble in the future. Will this happen..."
"You also said that this is just emerging."
Sang Zhixia let out a hint of sarcasm and said coldly, "How do you think so many starving people know that food will arrive?"
"The porridge distribution has been going on in the city for quite some time now, and the agitated people have calmed down a lot. Why did they have to start a commotion today?"
Lin Yun frowned and said nothing.
Sang Zhixia said coldly, "It's not that they're too hungry to bear it, but that they can't control their urge to stretch out their claws."
"Go check."
"Start with the people Lieutenant General Wu arrested. Find out who they've been in close contact with recently, what they've said and done, and draw up a list of names and send a copy to General Chen."
General Chen is very good at killing people.
Lin Yun lowered his head and responded. Not far away, Deputy General Wu had a face as dark as ink. Standing opposite him was Lord Liu, who had been to the Northwest Camp earlier.
A thin layer of snow had already covered Lord Liu's shoulders. He anxiously said to Deputy General Wu, "Didn't they send a hundred thousand catties of grain this time? With so much grain, it wouldn't be a big deal to allocate some to North City. It's just..."
"No."
Lieutenant General Wu said without hesitation: "The general said that the whereabouts of these grains will be distributed in their own way, and there is no need for others to say more."
Lord Liu was extremely worried and blurted out anxiously, "Could it be that the general is really planning to move all the food to the main camp as the rumors say, and really not care about the life and death elsewhere?"
"If word of this gets out, General Chen will be heartbroken."
A clear female voice sounded behind him. Lord Liu turned around and saw that the person coming was a young woman wearing a fox fur cloak. His forehead immediately twitched.
"Whose family are you from? This is..."
"Meet the boss."
Before Lord Liu could drive him away, Deputy General Wu nodded and greeted politely.
The words on the tip of Lord Liu's tongue suddenly stopped, and his eyes were filled with surprise.
Sang Zhixia ignored his surprise and simply said, "Famine has just begun, and the porridge shed that General Chen managed to build is still here. If you forget your past kindness and only focus on the present, it will inevitably be disheartening."
"you……"
"Speaking of which."
Sang Zhixia suddenly changed the subject and said, "Deputy General Wu doesn't even know the exact amount of food that was delivered. Where did you hear the details, sir?"
"Who told the adults?"
Lord Liu was stunned and speechless.
Sang Zhixia's face showed a playful expression. "Who told you, sir, that General Chen had no intention of interfering with the lives of the people elsewhere, and instigated you to come and demand food?"
The officials believed it and came to ask for food in a hurry, but what about the common people who knew nothing?
If these people believed what they heard to be true...
Sang Zhixia looked at Lord Liu, whose expression suddenly changed, and said word by word, "Sir, this is extremely terrifying when you think about it carefully."
"The Northwest is in a time of great hardship. At this moment, if someone with ulterior motives were to make such a claim, and Your Excellency was too impatient to allow it to happen, then..."
Sang Zhixia made a subtle "tsk" sound without elaborating, but Lord Liu's expression had completely changed.
Chen Nianhe must be annoyed if he comes to make trouble today.
Chen Nianhe is not a kind-hearted person. Once you really make him angry, he might really abandon the people in the city and leave them alone!
Deputy General Wu also realized that something was wrong: "Master Liu, who told you all this?"
Master Liu said subconsciously: "It's my master, he..."
"Where is he?"
"In... in the county government office, he is..."
"Someone come!"
Without warning, Deputy General Wu raised his voice, his voice filled with a murderous aura, "Go and arrest this nonsense-speaking advisor!"
"Interrogate him strictly! Make sure he tells you who ordered this!"
The person who received the order left with murderous intent. Lord Liu was at a loss and said angrily, "It was just a few casual reminders! Why is it worth making such a fuss? He is my advisor, not..."
"It is precisely because he is someone close to you that he must be tried."
Sang Zhixia looked at Master Liu, whose face flushed with irritation, with mixed feelings. "Master, how did your advisor know these details that you don't even know? Don't you find it strange?"
Seeing that Lord Liu had a dark face and was unable to speak, Sang Zhixia was also speechless.
No wonder before coming here, the old man specifically told me not to listen too much to the words of these officials, big or small.
How did this person, who has no brains at all, put on this official robe?
Bought it with donation money???
