"Have you ever opened the granary to check the grain?" Li Mu said to Zhou Yang and others in a deep voice.
Li Mu's tone was very serious. Zhou Yang and others were instantly shocked and asked, "Senior, what's wrong? Is there any problem?"
"I ask you if you have counted the grain in the granary?" Li Mu asked again.
"Commander, it's not that we don't want to take inventory, it's just that the accumulated snow is difficult to clear, and we have to resettle the people. After so long of the snowstorm, we have only cleared a small area." Yang Su explained.
"Then, do we also need to clear the snow from the underground granary?" Li Mu said.
"Director Huo said that the sealed granary cannot be opened easily, otherwise the food will leak and cannot be preserved for long." Lin Qing said.
"Haha, what a leak, what a good way to relocate the people!" Li Mu sneered.
Li Mu took a deep breath and said, "You keep saying that you will resettle the people, but do you know how those people are being oppressed now?"
"This... We haven't been down the mountain for a month. Our top priority now is to ensure food safety. The people have misunderstandings about us, and conflicts are easily caused in management. Therefore, Director Huo proposed that the people should manage the people. This will be more efficient. Secondly, it can also preserve the strength of our granary to avoid being unable to cope with force majeure in the future." Li Dezhi said.
"Director Huo, Director Huo! It's fine for the military and police to obey Huo Jianan, after all, their positions are lower than his. But you two, as members of Dragon Soul and team leaders, also have to obey his arrangements?" Li Mu said unhappily.
Zhou Yang and the others wanted to say, "After all, Huo Jianan has been managing the granary for so many years, so he is more professional. Besides, Huo Jianan is right. In this doomsday with an uncertain future, preserving one's strength and taking action at the critical moment is the wisest choice."
However, seeing Li Mu's gloomy face, they did not dare to say these words and could only lower their heads.
"Chief, that bitch Zhuang Hui ran away." Chen Guangyun reminded. He had heard that Huo Jianan had committed a serious crime. As Huo Jianan's confidant, Zhuang Hui was naturally involved.
"Don't worry about her, let your people find Huo Jianan for me!" Li Mu said in a deep voice.
It was the first time that Xu Ling and the other two saw Li Mu get so angry, so they all shut their mouths and dared not speak.
"Could it be that my words have come true? Was the grain really burned by the 'fire'?" Xu Ling had a bad feeling in his heart.
Yang Su, Lin Qing and Chen Guangyun all took orders and hurried to give orders to their subordinates. After all, in such extreme weather, electronic equipment could not be used outdoors at all and communication had to be done by shouting.
Just as everyone began to look for Huo Jianan enthusiastically, a noisy sound was heard outside the granary.
Li Mu frowned and walked over with his group.
"Fellow villagers, they are planning to transport the grain from the Shennong Mountain granary. Can we agree to this?"
"No! No!"
"There are so many of us here. Transporting the food away would be a disregard for human life!"
"This is our food, you are not allowed to take it away!"
"I protest, why should we transport our food here to other places?"
"My whole family has traveled for half a month and risked our lives. There were nine of us when we got here, but now there are only four left. Now you are saying you want to transfer the food away. Aren't you kidding us?"
"Whoever wants to transport the food must first walk over my dead body!"
"You must give us an explanation! Otherwise, this matter will not end today!"
…………
Outside the granary, the road leading down the mountain was already crowded with huge crowds of people, blocking the gate tightly. The soldiers and police guarding the gate had already closed the gate tightly and retreated back inside. They did not dare to conflict with the people outside, for fear of angering these people and causing irreparable consequences.
Seeing the scene outside, Li Mu's face turned slightly cold. This Huo Jianan even did not hesitate to instigate the common people in order to cover up his crimes!
"Senior, what should we do?" Zhou Yang asked anxiously. If today's matter was not handled well, the granary in Shennong Mountain might be in danger.
Without saying a word, Li Mu jumped up and landed on the top of the gate. He said to the people outside, "The grain stored in the Shennongshan granary belongs to the people of Daxia. The storage capacity is 80 million tons. Logically, if I transfer half of it to other areas for disaster relief, you guys can't finish it in 10 lifetimes. But what about now? Can you eat enough every day? Not only do you need to do heavy labor in exchange for meager rations, but you also have to be oppressed by bullies. Let me ask you, are you really protecting your own interests by doing this? Don't let others use you as a gun without knowing it!"
The people below became much quieter after hearing this, and many of them stopped shouting.
"Don't be fooled, he is trying to change the concept! He said that half of the grain was transported away, but who knows if it is true? Half today, half tomorrow, and what about the day after tomorrow? By then, not to mention 80 million tons of grain, even 800 million tons of grain will be emptied by you in a short time. Although everyone is a little tired now, at least we have food to eat!" A man with a gentle appearance shouted, holding a simple handmade loudspeaker.
"Right! We can't be fooled by him. We can optimize the food distribution plan later, but if the food is gone, then we will lose everything!"
"Even if you say anything, I won't let you take the food away today!"
"We are not unreasonable and don't care about the lives of our compatriots. If they want to eat, that's fine. They can just come to Shennong Mountain by themselves. People in our community live more than 200 kilometers from Shennong Mountain and have walked here, right?"
…………
Seeing this, Li Mu's face turned cold. He took out a sniper rifle and shot the gentleman who led the trouble in the head with one shot.
The man was full of disbelief. Li Mu actually dared to shoot? Wasn't he afraid of causing a riot?
Sure enough, after the man was beaten to death, the crowd was not afraid, but became even more agitated.
"Murder! How dare they kill someone?"
"How can these be official people? They are simply bandits. Brothers, let's fight them!"
…………
I saw the crowd beginning to rush towards the door, ready to break it in by force.
"Anyone who approaches the gate will die!" Li Mu said coldly.
However, these crazy people would not listen to Li Mu's threats and did not stop for a moment.
Li Mu shook his head and ordered the military police coldly: "Shoot, shoot anyone within ten meters of the gate!"
The military and police were stunned when they heard this. Are they really going to attack these civilians?
"Listen to the commander, shoot!" Yang Su and Lin Qing, who were searching for Huo Jianan, also rushed over with their men and gave orders in a deep voice.
Although the duty of the military and police is to protect the people, the situation is out of control now. If we allow these uncontrolled people to rush in, I'm afraid everyone will have nothing to eat! They can still tell the difference between the important and the unimportant. Soldiers should never be indecisive at any time!
