Chapter 173: The Entanglement of Saving People and Harming People

The group was led by Zhang Qiang into his original village, where is the village, it is simply a dilapidated ruin, thatched huts and grass huts are crooked, and there are no pedestrians in the cooking smoke, and the whole village is lifeless, as if entering a ghost domain.

When he came to Zhang Qiang's house, he pushed open the tattered and leaky door, the room was even colder than the outside, Lu Peng opened the only valuable iron pot in the house, and inside was a little kelp soup that had frozen, and he dipped it with his finger and put it in his mouth, but there was really no taste of salt: "Do you boil salt but eat soup without salt?" ”

Zhang Qiang smiled bitterly: "We salt farmers, where do we dare to eat salt?" Even if you dare to eat salt, once you are seen by the evil slaves of the Ding family, it will be a catastrophe. ”

A few people were talking, and suddenly heard a burst of crying and angry scolding from the street outside the door, Lu Peng turned around and walked to the front of the courtyard gate, looked at the long street, and saw that in the howling cold wind, a group of unclothed women, strung with spare ropes, were driven by a group of evil slaves with sticks, and behind this group of women, there was a group of unkempt people, crying, begging and chasing, but as soon as they approached these women, they would immediately be beaten with the clubs of a vicious slave, So scenes of life and death are staged on this long street.

Needless to say, this is another Ding family who arrested women to be trafficked.

Lu Peng was once again angered by the evil deeds of the Ding family, and at the same time felt deeply guilty for the mistake of his original decision-making, his own evil could not go on like this anymore, so he said to Zhao Yun, who was following him and had clenched his fists with a pale face: "Fourth brother, you and I will go to rescue these miserable people." ”

Zhao Yunzheng couldn't ask for it, and after getting Lu Peng's instructions, he didn't say a word, he directly carried his silver spear and didn't ride a horse, strode towards the long street, directly blocked the way of those evil slaves, and shouted coldly at those evil slaves: "Let those women go." ”

The Ding family is rampant and domineering here, and they are used to it, and suddenly someone stands up and spoils their own good deeds, how can this work? Although looking at the person blocking the road, dressed in a dignified manner, in their eyes, the sky and earth here belong to their Ding family, and the Ding family is the boss, even if the king of heaven and Lao Tzu is here, he must give in to the Ding family.

So without asking any questions, a group of evil slaves immediately waved the knives and guns in their hands and rushed towards Zhao Yun.

Zhao Yun had already been enraged by their evil deeds, and this group of evil slaves rushed up, and his subordinates were merciless at that time, brandishing silver spears, like tigers entering a flock of sheep, and launched a merciless slaughter.

Yes, this is indeed a massacre, a one-sided massacre, those evil slaves who usually act as powerful and like wolves and tigers, in front of the angry Zhao Yun, are just paper paste, and in the blink of an eye, dozens of evil slaves are lying down, and the filthy blood they shed slowly converges on the cold land of Long Street, and finally freezes into a bewitching crimson.

Looking at Zhao Yun, who was slowly walking towards him like a god, those women and people began to tremble, kneeling on the long street, and they didn't dare to make a sound.

"Sisters, you are saved, I will let you go home now." Zhao Yun pulled out his sword from his waist, picked the ropes off the women's bodies, and gave them freedom.

Zhao Yunhu had tears in his eyes and waved his hand gently: "Let's go home." ”

However, these people did not hurry back to their homes as Zhao Yun imagined, but the women who were tied up avoided the sword that Zhao Yun wanted to cut their ropes, and those people who followed the cry also blocked Zhao Yun's actions, and even more people directly picked up the soil and stones on the ground and began to attack Zhao Yun. This caught Zhao Yun off guard, dodged and retreated, and shouted to those people: "I have killed these evil slaves, now you can go home freely to reunite, I am the one who saved you." ”

At this time, an elderly man, kneeling and crawling a few steps, tightly grabbed the corner of Zhao Yun's robe, and begged Zhao Yun with horror: "Please raise your noble hand and spare our lives." ”

Zhao Yun was completely confused: "Aren't I saving your lives?" ”

"Hero, where are you saving our lives? You're hurting me. Then he pointed to the people who were kneeling behind him, and wept bitterly and said: "Heroes kill happily, but after you kill people, you can walk away, and what should we do?" This is the world of the Ding family, we have nowhere to escape, you killed the people of the Ding family, how can the Ding family let us go? We don't need you to rescue us, if you don't rescue us, we can still survive, these sold women may also have a little way to live, but what you are doing now is to completely push us to a dead end. With that, the old man couldn't help but fall to the ground and cry.

As soon as his words fell, several people in the group shouted: "Catch him and hand him over to the master of the Ding family, or let us live." With this shout, the crowd stirred again.

Zhao Yun was really speechless in pain, did he really do something wrong?

Lu Peng was also shocked by this situation, and from this point it can be clearly seen how powerful the Ding family is here, and how far they have oppressed the people.

With a long sigh, he strode to Zhao Yun's side, patted him lightly on the shoulder, comforted the confused Zhao Yun, and then puffed up his chest and reported loudly to those people: "Fathers and fellow villagers, this official, Lu Peng, the governor of other departments in Youzhou, has now taken over Lu County and Lu County Salt Farm, and now, you are no longer oppressed by the Ding family, and you are liberated." ”

Lu Peng reported his official title so loudly, just to let these people know that it was not a passing hero who killed the Ding family, but a local parent official, hoping that this would reassure the hearts of the people.

But Lu Peng didn't get the people's kneeling and cheering, and what he got was still panic and numbness.

Lu Peng felt deep sorrow! From this point, it can be seen how powerful the Ding family's power is in this area, and how profound the oppression of the people is! Their power is so strong that in the hearts of the people, they have surpassed the prestige of the government, and they have worked hard to exceed the fear of the government's power. From this point of view, in the late Han Dynasty, the influence of the family on the local people is profound, in fact, this should definitely be sad.

Just when Lu Peng was thinking deeply about embarrassment, Xu Jie stood up and shouted loudly at those dazed people: "There is this general standing in front of you, not long ago, in order to understand that the people were hanging upside down, he directly exterminated the Zhao family in Youzhou. ”

Such a reminder had the most direct effect, and those people asked each other, and finally turned from dazed to shocked and finally cheered.

The Zhao family is the largest force in Youzhou, and the demise of the Zhao family has already spread throughout Youzhou, and after the fall of the Zhao family, the well-being of the people has also been talked about by countless poor people.

At this time, the old man stepped forward tremblingly, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed to Lu Peng: "Lord Duwei's kindness, we have already heard that the arrival of Lord Duwei today is the hope of us small people, we have offended a lot just now, and I ask Lord Duwei to forgive." As he spoke, he knocked his gray-haired head deep on the ground.

The reason why no one in the official government is in awe is because the official government has been reduced to the lackey of the family, and the cruelty of the family is terrifying, and in this land, the hearts of the people have long been looking forward to the appearance of a person who can confront the family, this person is, Lu Peng.

Lu Peng took a few steps to pick up the old man and assured him: "I now promise you that from now on, the Ding family will never bully you again, from now on, this will be a rich and peaceful place, and from now on, I will protect you here." ”

With Lu Peng's assurance, those people who were numb to fear let out bursts of heartfelt cheers again.

Looking at the cheering people, Lu Peng asked Zhang Qiang beside him: "What is the basis of the Ding family in this place?" I will take people to capture it now, seize the grain there and distribute it to the people, you see, this is nine midwinters, and if it continues like this, people will die. ”

Zhang Qiang knew that Lu Peng and Zhao Yun's attitude towards the Ding family no longer had any concerns, at this time, Lu Peng proposed to eradicate the local Ding family forces and obtain their money and food to appease the people, of course, he supported it with both hands, so he said to Lu Peng: "Lord Duwei, please come with me." ”
