"Fight them!"
"We all listen to Master Li!"
"Yes, rob money, rob food! rob land!"
Li Haoran calmed the crowd, "Listen to me, everyone. We're only going to steal food! Everyone, obey my orders. Remember, just say you came to Haizhou to transport grain on my orders. If the court investigates, I will be solely responsible!"
No one responded to this. Gao Er was shocked: "Sir, you are putting the blame for stealing grain on yourself. This is punishable by death!"
Lu Asan immediately said angrily: "Sir, the heaven is unjust. Why don't we take this opportunity to offend it!"
"Yes! The court is incompetent, let's rebel against it!" Someone immediately echoed.
Li Haoran shouted loudly, "Everyone, listen to me. We must not rebel! I receive a salary from the court, and the current emperor is a famous emperor throughout history. However, the disaster relief grain has been withheld by corrupt officials, and treacherous ministers have deceived the emperor. I have sent people to Bian Jing to inform His Majesty. I believe His Majesty will send people to investigate soon. Everyone, please do not rebel, otherwise I will not be able to save you, the disaster victims. If you go to Haizhou to grab food, just say that you are following my orders. I will take responsibility for anything that happens, as long as we can exchange it for food! Remember, do not use the name of rebellion, I beg you!"
Li Haoran knelt upright, and the victims were deeply moved. Li Haoran single-handedly saved the victims from disaster. If anyone had openly gone to Haizhou to steal food, it would have been a rebellion, and the imperial court would have sent a large army to suppress it. At that time, these victims would have been executed as traitors.
If the grain was robbed in the name of the Langya County Magistrate, it would be Li Haoran's responsibility alone. Li Haoran wanted to use his life to exchange for disaster relief grain.
