Chapter 156: The People Are Indignant
"You are talking nonsense, those dog officials in the county government will not care about us at all, if it weren't for them, why would we be like this."
As soon as Sheng Mingzhu's voice fell, someone below suddenly roared angrily.
Like a stone stirring in the water, this roar broke everyone's silence, and the people in line below began to stir.
Whispering to each other, the blankness on his face began to grow angry little by little, as if the haystack buried in Mars suddenly burst into flames.
"Give us food, give us back our food," someone shouted angrily ...... raised his arms.
"Dog officials, there is no good thing in the county officials, all of them are hypocritical, wearing black gauze hats, forcibly taking and grabbing, sucking the blood of our people, waiting to see us die, folks, they want to force us to die, do we suffer like this? There is no heavenly reason in this world. ”
"That's right! There is no heavenly reason! ”
"These officials in the city don't care if we live or die."
"Officer Dog, return us food."
“……”
The crowd shouted, and the people who were on the verge of breaking out, after a few roars, everyone couldn't hold back anymore, and the queue for soup soup was chaotic, and the people in the back crowded forward, and the people who drank the porridge next to them were not far behind......
The crowd was a mess, the crying of children, the screams of women, and the angry scolding of others.
"Stand back, stand back, don't move forward, or we're welcome."
The few officials who came with them had weapons in their hands and tried to stop them, but all the knives in their hands were unsheathed, and they could not stop the people who were carried away by the pent-up anger.
The crowd pushed forward and crowded, and the few people who stayed in front of the porridge pot to serve the porridge were so frightened that they threw away their rice spoons and hid aside.
"Miss, let's get out of here, these people can't help it." Xia Yu pulled Sheng Mingzhu and led her back.
"Wait a minute."
Sheng Mingzhu had anger in his eyes, his eyes fell on the children who were squeezed down in the crowd, and no one noticed his feet at all.
Everyone's eyes were staring directly at the porridge pot in front of them, lest they be one step slower, one less bite of food to fill their stomachs, the frightened cries of children, and the panicked cries of parents, all of whom turned a deaf ear.
"Xia Yu, you go and bring that child out, all those who dare to come forward, don't be merciful."
"Xia Xue, you also go over, all those who dare to approach the porridge pot will be sent out to me."
Sheng Mingzhu stood behind them, holding a soft dragon tendon leather whip in his hand, petite and simplely dressed, but there was a sense of deterrence that no one dared to despise on his body.
Several officials next to him also stepped forward to maintain order.
Xia Yu and Xia Xue got their lives, and the two worked together, one stepped forward to save the child who was trampled, and the other protected in front of the porridge pot.
The attack was decisive and sharp, and after teaching a few people a hard lesson, no one dared to step forward.
Sheng Mingzhu held the leather whip in her hand, her face was cold, she stepped forward, she took a step further, and the people in front of her took a step back.
Fearful.
When Sheng Mingzhu was giving porridge just now, they didn't expect the girl in front of them to have such courage, the two maids who followed them were so strong, and the beaten people on the ground rolled and crawled back, looking at Xia Yu and Xia Xue with fear in their eyes.
"Thank you, thank you very much." The rescued woman knelt in front of Sheng Mingzhu with the child in her arms, thanked her repeatedly, and the child in her arms was skinny, her face was frightened, and her eyes were looking ahead.
"Mother, I'm still hungry, so hungry."
"Well, wait a little longer, wait a little longer and you'll have something to eat." The woman patted the child's back, lest he say something that would make Sheng Mingzhu angry, so she hurriedly wanted to take the child over after thanking her.
"Wait a minute, lady!"
Xia Xue called her, took the bowl from her hand, filled the porridge pot next to her and handed it to her, "Now that food is in short supply, it's good to have a bite to eat, you can quickly take it and feed the child." ”
"To us? Thank you. The porridge in the bowl was warm and just delicious, and when the child in his arms saw it, his stomach immediately gurgled, and his eyes stared at the food in the bowl that could not be seen, and he swallowed hard.
He was taken aside by the woman and devoured it.
Xia Xue turned her face, she couldn't bear to look at it, and when she raised her eyes, there were still many such old people and children in the team.
"Give us something to eat, too! We really can't stand it, we are starving, and the elderly and children in the family will not be able to hold on. ”
When the other women saw this, they also knelt on the ground and pleaded.
"Get up and line up, as long as you don't make trouble, there will be it."
Sheng Mingzhu blinked, put away the pity in his heart, and glanced at these people in front of him with a ruthless face, making sure that no one dared to come forward and rob them madly, so he beckoned the attendant who served the meal just now to come over and serve them porridge.
One bowl per person, no matter how much there is, those who want to take the opportunity to make trouble will never be soft.
After killing chickens and monkeys, and teaching many people a lesson, no one dared to be presumptuous.
After everything was over, Sheng Mingzhu did not take people away, but asked people to find a few people who made trouble at the beginning.
Several middle-aged people, gray-headed and dirty-faced, with a thin body like a bamboo pole, have not eaten for a long time, and their bodies are strong and dry, several people stood together, looking at Sheng Mingzhu with wary eyes.
"What are you doing with us?"
"Don't think that if you give us a bowl of porridge, we have to be grateful to you, you people are all together, hypocritical and despicable."
"What do you mean by those words?" Sheng Mingzhu said.
"What words? We're telling the truth, if it weren't for you dog officials, we wouldn't be like this. ”
"What do you mean?" Sheng Mingzhu stared at them and repeated again.
"What can it mean, under the natural disaster, this group of dog officials in the county government doesn't care whether our people live or die, and let each family pay two more loads of food, not to force us people to die, what is it. Corrupt and pervert the law, officials protect each other, collude with the big families in the city, and trap us ordinary people, the good land below, but all the good ones that can produce grain are basically occupied by a few big households in the city, we ordinary people, you go and see, you can get a few acres of thin land in your hands, and some people who have a bad life will all become tenants of large peasant owners, isn't this fucking trying to force us ordinary people to die?"
The man who spoke was extremely emotional, and when he spoke of resentment, he was so angry that he seemed to want to step on it a few times.
"What you say is true?".
"We still need to lie to you, you go and ask someone to see if this is the case."
