669 Cry, why didn't you come earlier?

"Catch him!"

Zhai Dongming's voice seemed very weak in the atmosphere of heavy snow and fierce fighting. At least the officers and soldiers of the Governor's Mansion did not notice it. When they found out, they had already been pinned down and made to kneel on the ground by Zhai Dongming's soldiers.

The officers and soldiers of the Governor's Office were okay with dealing with ordinary people who dared not fight back, but facing Zhai Dongming's soldiers who had been on the battlefield, it would be simply courting death.

"What's going on? What's going on? Who are you? We are from the Governor's Office, and we are doing our job. Did you arrest the wrong person? We are all brothers, and we can talk it out if there is anything." In the imperial city, they have always been the ones to arrest people, and when have they ever been arrested by others? The officials from the Governor's Office were not happy with this and started to make a fuss.

Although there are many officials and soldiers in the imperial city, on weekdays everyone performs their duties and does not interfere with each other. Occasional frictions will not be manifested in the open.

This is the first time that an official was captured by another group of people while doing his job. What a big deal.

"Someone from the Governor's Office? Whose orders are you following? What mission are you on?" Zhai Dongming raised his leg arrogantly, and his big military boots just stepped on the back of the man who was speaking. Zhai Dongming leaned forward, looking very dandy.

"Who... are you?" The officer was originally a little angry, but when he saw Zhai Dongming's nonchalant attitude, he knew that this man could not be offended, so his tone changed immediately.

“Pa…” Zhai Dongming slapped the man on the head. “Not only did you not answer my question, but you even dared to ask who I am? Don’t you want to live? Sure, I’ll grant your wish.”

Zhai Dongming pulled out a dagger from his boot. He learned this move from Feng Qingchen. That woman, Feng Qingchen, seemed to have things that could kill people all over her body.

The gleaming knife was placed against the man's chin. Zhai Dongming did not attack directly, but moved his hand back and forth, threatening the man evilly: "Where do you think it would be best to start?"

Bang... The officer was so frightened that his face turned pale and he fell to the ground like a dead fish. Then a strong smell of urine came.

Ugh, how gutless.

Zhai Dongming had one foot on his back. When the officer moved, Zhai Dongming fell forward and almost fell on the spot where the officer had urinated. Fortunately, the guard behind him found out in time and pulled Zhai Dongming up, but...

This move ruined Zhai Dongming's handsome and domineering appearance. Zhai Dongming was annoyed. He raised his foot and changed his position, stepping directly on the other person's head, and asked condescendingly: "Tell me, who are you following and what are you doing?"

Damn it, he almost peed himself, how embarrassing.

"The admiral has ordered us to arrest the rebels." The officer was stepped on by Zhai Dongming so hard that he couldn't even speak clearly. He choked and said it clearly, hoping that Zhai Dongming would show mercy.

"It would have been fine if you had said so earlier. You stepped on my shoes and made them dirty." Zhai Dongming looked disgusted. He took out a white towel, wiped his shoes, and then stuffed the towel into the officer's mouth: "Drag him away, watch him carefully, and don't let him get killed."

"Um... Um..." The officer struggled desperately and pushed forward. If he could speak at this moment, he would definitely say, "Sir, can you at least tell me who you are?"

Unfortunately, Zhai Dongming would never pay attention to such a small fry. It would be better if the admiral came instead.

"Go and tell the people inside that I am here, and tell them to stop." Zhai Dongming still looked like a dandy and gangster, arrogant and domineering, with his chin raised high and looking down on people all the time.

Ahem... It’s not that he is arrogant, it’s just that he doesn’t know how to face Feng Qingchen.

At the beginning, General Feng's grandfather knew the cause of his death, but he kept it secret. General Feng had made great contributions to the country, but in the end he became a defeated general. This was too unfair to General Feng, and General Feng did not get the honor he deserved.

After Zhai Dongming knew about this, he felt sorry for Feng Qingchen.

He would not be so foolish as to ask his grandfather to avenge General Feng and execute those who killed General Feng. He should at least give General Feng justice and let him die as a hero instead of being scolded like he is now.

The person who went to speak was Zhai Dongming's personal soldier. He knew what to say to make Feng Qingchen stop: "Miss Feng, the prince is here, and everyone outside has been arrested. You can stop now."

Zhai Dongming is here?

Feng Qingchen's movements froze for a moment, then he continued threading the needle, saying to the man who was smashing the snow, "Stop, our reinforcements are here."

Snap...

They were obviously a group of ordinary people who had never received lessons or training, but at this moment they showed the discipline of soldiers. At Feng Qingchen's command, even if they wanted to throw the snow in their hands, they took it back obediently.

Here, Feng Qingchen's orders were more effective than military orders. Feng Qingchen saved these desperate victims and gave them hope of life.

Whoosh... The waterfall created by smashing snow in the air fell down without any follow-up support, landed on the ground and formed a small snow mountain.

"Puh, puh, puh..." Zhai Dongming was close and had a mouthful of snow in his mouth. He was so annoyed that he forgot about his guilt towards Feng Qingchen and rushed in carelessly. He didn't even see where Feng Qingchen was and shouted, "Feng Qingchen, what's wrong with you? I went through so much trouble to come to you in the heavy snow, and this is how you greet me..."

Well……

Zhai Dongming did not utter the last word "I" because he found that he was being watched by people.

Hundreds of eyes, some numb, some defensive, some desperate, some resentful, all stared at Zhai Dongming. Zhai Dongming was horrified by the looks, and the dandy aura on his body instantly disappeared. He felt uneasy in his heart, but pretended to be calm on the surface. He stood stiffly in place, allowing these victims to stare at him.

Oh my god, why do I feel like I'm in a wolf's den? Why do these people look like they want to eat me? Zhai Dongming burst into tears and looked at Feng Qingchen expectantly, hoping that Feng Qingchen would come and rescue him soon...

Unfortunately, Feng Qingchen did not notice Zhai Dongming's eyes asking for help. Even if she had noticed, she would not have cared. It was not until Feng Qingchen finished stitching her hands and stood up to look at Zhai Dongming that Zhai Dongming found the voice. But this time he did not dare to speak loudly: "Feng Qingchen, what happened?"

"As you can see, people from the Governor's Office sent out officers to attack a group of disaster victims. The victims did not dare to resist and retreated here, and could only use snow to resist the officers." Feng Qingchen briefly explained the ins and outs of the matter, and his words were naturally biased towards the victims.

In fact, the victims did not take any action. Those who had fought with the officers outside were all hungry and old. They were so hungry that they had no strength left, so how could they be a match for the officers? They were all beaten by the officers outside.

Zhai Dongming had just seen the appearance of those officers. Compared with the victims, those officers were not injured at all. Among the victims, more than a dozen people were beaten with bloody heads and bodies.

"Why would people from the Governor's Office attack the disaster victims?" Zhai Dongming glanced at the situation in the free clinic. He was sure that there were no traitors here. If the rebels looked like this, then the emperor could rest easy.

"Humph..." Feng Qingchen sneered, "Because, we are providing free porridge here. The porridge we prepared for the victims is thicker than that provided by the government. In order to make the victims full, we added an extra steamed bun. As a result... just because we are providing free porridge here, the people in the Governor's Office say that we are hypocritical and that we are gathering people to rebel."

Feng Qingchen emphasized the last four words with great sarcasm.

As long as people gather together, it is considered treason, and no one in the world will live.

"What? Those pig-brained people in the Governor's Office actually beat and killed the victims because of this? Were their heads squeezed by pig butt bones?" Zhai Dongming was angry, but he didn't dare to believe it.

You can't blame him for being suspicious. This matter is really a bit far-fetched. How could the people from the Governor's Office attack the victims because of this idiot's reason? But Feng Qingchen didn't seem to be lying to him. For a moment, Zhai Dongming was extremely embarrassed.

Grandpa was right, he was indeed stupid. He got involved in things without even figuring out what was going on, and ended up finding himself in a dilemma.

Zhai Dongming looked at Feng Qingchen with an innocent look on his face, asking for help, as if saying: Qingchen, please don't hurt me, I'm following you.

"My Lord, I, Feng Qingchen, swear to heaven that not a single word I said just now is false. The officials from the Governor's Office smashed the porridge shop as soon as they arrived, and scattered the porridge and steamed buns all over the floor. That group of people would rather smash the food than give it to the victims.

Do you know that those white porridge and steamed buns are life-saving food for the victims, but those officials smashed them without caring about the lives of the victims. The victims rushed forward to rescue the food, but the officials beat them, pressed them to the ground, and forced them to lick the porridge on the ground.

Zhai Dongming, you officials are human beings, and the victims are also human beings. Even if you are doing your job according to orders, you should not disregard other people's lives and waste their life-saving food.

Zhai Dongming: I don’t know who is right or wrong in this matter. I just hope that the same thing will not happen again. God has already stopped them from living. Does the emperor want to force them to death? They are also the people of Dongling and the subjects of the emperor. Will the emperor not protect them? "

The last sentence was heart-breaking, and among the people present, only Feng Qingchen dared to say it. After Feng Qingchen said this, the victims who had just desperately thrown snow at people, fell to the ground and started crying.

Zhai Dongming stood there in a daze, not knowing what to do for a moment. Feng Qingchen's words were too inflammatory. Not to mention the victims, even he felt uncomfortable listening to them.

At this time, the guards beside Zhai Dongming came in and whispered a few words in Zhai Dongming's ear. Zhai Dongming's face changed, and a fierce light flashed in his eyes. After the guards retreated, Zhai Dongming bowed solemnly to all the victims: "I'm sorry, I'm late!"

ah……

These words were like a key. The victims, who had originally only been crying quietly, burst into tears after hearing these words.

"Why didn't you come earlier? If you had come earlier, our steamed buns and porridge would still be there, and we wouldn't have starved to death."

"Wow...why didn't you come earlier? Why didn't you come earlier?"

If they had come a little earlier, they wouldn't have gone hungry!
