Changhe Replica World.

Anhui County.

An old and weak woman and children, as well as hundreds of young people, stood together in twos and threes, eagerly looking ahead.

The iron pot that had been set up long ago was filled with boiling hot water, but the person who was supposed to be here for a long time was gone.

Such a strange scene has been going on for half a day.

Incomprehension, anxiety, and confusion intertwined with each other, turning into a dark cloud that shrouded the hearts of tens of thousands of people.

A thought came to mind, followed by silence.

"Ahem......"

The oppressive atmosphere was interrupted by a voice, and an old man looked tremblingly at the row of iron pots and the flames burning below.

"Father, do we need to add more wood?" A young man asked.

The old man gritted his teeth fiercely: "Timing, adding wood, can't let this fire go out"

"But," Qing Zhuang looked a little speechless.

The woman's lips moving beside Qing Zhuang couldn't help but complain: "What if you add wood?" It's not a waste in the end."

"Two hours have passed since the county government agreed with us to distribute the grain, and I think this grain is only afraid of danger," the people around couldn't help but say.

The old man was silent, what had happened during this time had already made them frightened birds.

Therefore, the abnormal behavior in the county town today can't help but make them think about it less.

"Father, did you say that the county order secretly ran away with food?" Qingzhuang couldn't help but ask.

The eyes of the people around him looked at each other at the same time, and their eyes were full of worry.

The old man stomped the cane in his hand to the ground: "Impossible"

"You put your heart in your stomach, the county order is a court official, the world is chaotic, but my Lujiang has its own law," the old man said hoarsely.

But the more this is the case, the more it seems that he is a little weak-hearted, after all, it is an indisputable fact that food has been delayed.

The children shrunk their necks in fright and looked at each other.

"Grandpa, Grandpa"

"I'm hungry, when will I be able to drink porridge?"

A child looked at the old man pitifully, his eyes shining expectantly.

The old man's heart couldn't help but soften, and his tone slowed down: "It's fast, it's fast......"

"Father, will the county government really send food if it goes on like this?" The young man asked.

The old man looked over and asked worriedly, "What else can we do but wait?" ”

"The grain is in the treasury, and if the county commander runs away with the defenders, I don't believe they will be able to empty the grain in such a short time. If we ......," said Qingzhuang, a murderous glint appeared in his eyes.

People have lived to this point, and what is there to fear?

"It is a felony to be presumptuous and trespass into the treasury" Before the young man could finish speaking, the old man forcibly interrupted him.

A look of displeasure appeared in Qing Zhuang's eyes, and then his face sank: "Father"

"No matter what you say, you are not allowed to break into the treasury," the old man accentuated his tone, and his tone was extremely stern.

Hurried footsteps came, and a man pulled his neck and shouted: "Oh no, the county defenders are empty"

The sound sounded in their ears, and everyone seemed to hear a thunderbolt, and the whole person was instantly stunned.

Everyone rushed over, revealing anxious faces.

The man who had come to report the news swallowed, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and spoke loudly.

"The county seat, the county town defenders are empty"

"The county is gone"

"The prefectural order is even more unknown"

There was an uproar, followed by a chatter.

"Could it be that the dignified county lord nominally dispatched grain from Chaohu, but in fact transported our grain away?"

"Ladies and gentlemen, it is just about to be winter, and the food will not be distributed for a long time. Now that the gruel that was said to be good is gone, do we really have to sit still? ”

Sparse voices rang out, and then the voices joined together.

Due to the disappearance of the soldiers stationed in Anhui County, everyone's hearts gradually became bigger.

The anger was ignited, and a young man stepped forward one after another.

"The county respected but did not believe in its words, and said that before the grain was distributed, the porridge would be given for free"

"Now there is no trace"

"So it seems that there must be a lot of food"

"What's the difference between this kind of behavior and that Chen Ce?"

As the voice fell, the crowd glared in the direction of the county office.

An old man walked out tremblingly, followed by several older men.

"Half a day, half a day, where did they go?"

"The county order is nowhere to be seen, the county is nowhere to be seen, and the generals and thousands of soldiers who defended the city are nowhere to be seen."

"Strange and weird"

The conversation sounded, and everyone showed gritted teeth.

A young man said loudly, "What's so strange about this?"

"Presumably they were upset when they saw too much food, after all, there are a few people in this world who are willing to give us back food for nothing," said the young man.

The people around nodded their heads, and then their hearts sank.

The old man at the head shook his head: "After all, he is a court official, although the world is chaotic, but Lujiang has its own laws and regulations that do not allow the county order to act arbitrarily."

"Phew," a young man spat fiercely.

As if he had thought of something, the anger in his heart became a little stronger.

"Testimonies?"

"What other testimonies are there in these years?"

"Sometimes soldiers are better than robbers"

As soon as these words came out, everyone's emotions were instantly aroused.

"If the county order hadn't moved the grain, then the grain should still be in the treasury," said Na Qingzhuang.

Gritted his teeth fiercely: "Do you have the courage to follow me?"

"Don't be reckless," a few old men snorted.

The old man at the head said, with a worried look in his eyes: "Trespassing into the treasury is a serious crime."

"It's all in this field, what is there to be guilty of?" The young man has a look of openness.

Originally, it was a great thing for the county order to snatch back the grain, but I didn't want this county order to actually put the grain in the government treasury, which completely angered tens of thousands of people.

It was only because thousands of soldiers from Changhe Town were stationed in the city that they were afraid of the laws of the imperial court that they did not break out.

Coupled with the free distribution of gruel and the promise of the county to work out the return of food, it seemed calm.

However, today's strange situation has broken the tacit understanding between the two.

Faced with an empty county seat, the law, which did not have much deterrent power, collapsed in an instant.

Order is also disappearing at an incredible rate.

"Instead of being starved to death, it's better to go to the treasury and see what is going on," said the young man in a loud voice.

Then he raised his voice: "Whoever dares to come with me"

"I'll Go"

"I'll Go"

"I'll go too"

Seeing that someone was taking the lead, everyone shouted at the top of their voices.

Tens of thousands of people rushed like a tide in the direction of the treasury.

Several old men glanced at each other, and could only run forward under the coercion of the crowd.
