Daniel Zhang took a few steps forward, blocked in front of Bai Luo, and said, "As long as I, Daniel Zhang, am still alive, no one will want to take Master Bai away." ”

Jiang Xin and Chai Hu also stepped forward to block Bai Luo's body, and said solemnly: "There are still us." ”

The villagers of the entire Baijia Village had already heard the news at this time, and when they saw this scene, they gathered around Bai Luo one after another, and said to Su Yunming and the two messengers behind him: "And us." ”

Nearly 2,000 homeless people firmly protected Bai Luo, and the sentence "and us" was like a barrier built by people's hearts, firmly guarding Bai Luo behind him.

Su Yunming looked at this human wall, his eyes stared at these despicable civilians viciously, his face was a little pale, and he showed some ruthlessness.

He really didn't understand what kind of ecstasy this white and delicate Bai Luo, who was as white and delicate as a little lady, gave these lowly ants, so that they actually turned their usual cowering and resigned to it, and dared to openly confront the officials.

Bai Luo's eyes moistened to look at the villagers around him, looking at Jiang Xinchai Hu Daniel Zhang, who was tightly protecting him, his throat choked, and his heart was excited.

Some of the villagers in front of her had changed into new clothes and shoes, while others were still ragged and barefoot;

There were sturdy men, and there were also old and weak women and children who combed their horns with wooden sticks.

These weak people used to be sheltered by her.

And now, they are still weak, but they resolutely stand in front of her to protect her.

"Don't ......" It was finally Bai Luo who found his voice, and was about to open his mouth to persuade everyone to retreat, but he heard Su Yunming's voice sounding outside the crowd.

"Bai Luo, are these fools you trying your best to settle with Yinliang? Today, as long as these Diao people dare to stop me, I will report to the imperial court, not only cancel the resettlement, but also send troops to directly strangle me. Let them understand well what is the majesty of the court and what is the majesty of officials. ”

Hearing Su Yunming's threat, some homeless people showed hesitation on their faces, but more people were unmoved, still standing firmly in place, facing Su Yunming's threat, without flinching.

Bai Luo pressed the excitement in his heart, walked out of the crowd, and said to everyone: "You don't have to be like this, Master Su is right, if everyone is really canceled by the imperial court in order to protect me, then all the sacrifices I have made will be in vain." ”

"What everyone can do for me now is to build Baijia Village well and live a good life. That way, I feel like everything I've done is worth it. ”

After speaking, Bai Luo looked at Daniel Zhang and said meaningfully: "Remember my words that day, if there is really that time, you know how to choose." ”

Bai Luo stopped everyone, took Jiang Xin and Chai Hu, and followed Su Yunming into the carriage freely.

Daniel Zhang and the villagers watched Bai Luo leave, but there was nothing they could do.

Li Yu was angry, stomped his feet and said hatefully: "You just watched Bai Luo go to prison for you? A bunch of ungrateful cowards. ”

Daniel Zhang's face turned red, but he stood in place with his fists clenched and did not speak, if he acted impulsively, it would only make Bai Luo's sacrifice meaningless.

Zhang Yu saw that Daniel Zhang was motionless, looked at him and the villagers contemptuously, jumped on the jujube red horse and galloped away.

Daniel Zhang and the villagers, who stood in silence, were both aggrieved, self-reproachful and angry.

humiliated their powerlessness, powerlessness, humility and lowliness, without the slightest right to speak; blame themselves for their inability to do anything about the dangers of the Dialogue Lord; The angry court pressed forward step by step, but it didn't leave them a way to live.

The men's faces were flushed, and the women wiped tears from their eyes.

After a while, Daniel Zhang finally made up his mind, slowly turned around, and said to the villagers with a straight face: "I swore that day that I would follow Lord Bai in this life, be loyal to you, and never betray. Now that Lord Bai is in trouble, I will give my life to save him. ”

"Today, I will resign as the mayor, and what I have done since then has nothing to do with Baijia Village."

After saying that, he went to his house to pack his clothes and prepare to catch up with Bai Luo.

Daniel Zhang quickly took his only coarse cloth clothes, brought the broken bowl of water bladders and wooden sticks he used to beg for food when he was a homeless person, and prepared to set off.

When he opened the door, he saw the whole village standing outside the door, men, women and children, each carrying a small burden on his back, a water bladder tied to his waist, a broken bowl in his hand, and a wooden cane, standing at the door waiting for him to come out.

Daniel Zhang heart, and his throat suddenly choked: "You ......",

Before he finished speaking, the eyes of this always strong man were already red.

Huahua, a six-year-old child who had been begging for food with him, was also carrying a small burden, leaning against the door with a broken bowl, and Huahua, who was not as tall as his thigh, said in a milky voice: "Uncle Yong, are you going to beat that villain to save Uncle Bai?" I'll go too. ”

"Brother Yong, Lord Bai is our benefactor of the entire Baijia Village, and we also have to save Lord Bai."

Daniel Zhang squatted down and picked up Huahua, looking at the villagers in front of him who had just passed a few days and were about to embark on this road of no return, tears finally welled up.

Daniel Zhang suppressed his tears and said in a trembling voice: "Okay, let's go and save Lord Bai together." ”

Daniel Zhang thought about Bai Luo's words: do not give in when you are oppressed, do not be discouraged when you encounter calamity, correct without fear when you encounter injustice, and do not yield to flattery when you encounter animals.

Daniel Zhang thought: Lord Bai, when you stood up for us, you had already engraved this sentence in our hearts.

You say, when we encounter these things ourselves, we have to remember to resist.

But you have taught us that when others encounter these things, we, all the same, have to resist.

Su Yunming took Bai Luo straight to the county office,

Su Yunming was afraid that he would cause public anger by arresting Bai Luo, who had a high reputation in Anning County, so he asked an errand officer to leave a hasty inventory and seal of the county treasury and official seal, and notified the neighboring Gaotai County to send someone to temporarily supervise Anning County, and Bai Luo, who was wearing shackles, and another errand got into the carriage and galloped towards Lanzhou.

It took less than a quarter of an hour from the time I arrived at the county office to the time I left.

Su Yunming's speed was so fast that all the people who wanted to save Bai Luo didn't have time to intercept him.

It was not until this time that the news that Bai Luo was removed from office and taken away from Anning County came out.

The whole county was in an uproar.

Everybody got into action,

just to leave this dutiful and selfless county order;

Just to leave this county order that is willing to let the people speak freely at the gate of the county government, holding tea bowls.

That night, a total of 1,769 men, women, and children in Baijia Village disappeared overnight, leaving only an empty half-built village.

That night, Li Yu, the eldest lady of the Li family, disappeared in Anning County with 10,000 taels of silver tickets, leaving not a word.

That night, under the leadership of Wu Mingde and Wu Zhishan, Miao Wu Jiang Xin and other officials of the county government put up tables and chairs, pen and ink and printed clay at the entrance of the county government overnight, collected the books of the people and reported them to the imperial court, and tried to protect Bai Luo.

Hearing this news, almost all the people of Anning County poured out.

Throughout the night, the long queue of people on the streets of Anning County has not dispersed, just to be able to write their names on the book of all people and stamp a fingerprint.

That night, the entire Anning County was worried about Bai Luo and stayed awake all night.
