Chapter 266: A monstrous fire
Although they were talking about everything, he didn't want to hear so much about the officers and soldiers who came, and when they saw that these people around them were all indignant, they seemed to rush up against him, so they simply drew their long knives.
"Before the imperial court sent officers and soldiers down to provide disaster relief, you accepted the help of these people, who knows if these people in red clothes are resentful? Anyway, you guys have to come with us anyway. ”
Saying this, those officers and soldiers still wanted to go up and pull up those young men in red clothes, which can be regarded as a public outrage. The people who stayed in these tents, young and old, were helped by these young people. These people sent by the imperial court don't just want to save people, they even want to hurt these poor and innocent young people, who come to help everyone for free. These tents, quilts, food, etc. are all brought by themselves, and they don't charge a penny from everyone, where can they find good people like this? But is such a good person going to be arrested by the court on trumped-up charges?
"You don't have the right to do that, and they haven't broken the law."
"yes, people are just kind enough to help, and it's a bit too much for you to do. If there is any misunderstanding here, you can talk about it, you don't have to use a knife and a gun like this. ”
"Who's going to talk to you hillbillies? If it weren't for you, Lao Tzu would still be celebrating the New Year in a warm home! Where did you run so far in the wind and snow to save some people who had nothing to do with me? Get out of the way, or don't blame me for being rude. ”
"I'd like to see what you're welcome, what do you want to do?"
……
The group soon quarreled. The main reason is that these officers and soldiers who came are fully armed, and they also carry knives and guns. And these people were tormented by hunger and cold, and they had lost confidence in the imperial court in their hearts, and under the collision between the two sides, there was naturally a violent conflict.
Those young men in red clothes were originally trying to dissuade them, but no one expected that those officers and soldiers would really do it. When the first officer and soldier with an impatient face waved the knife in his hand, the nearest little girl suddenly let out a scream, and then covered her face tightly. The two sides who were arguing were all stunned, and looked at each other blankly, and blood flowed from between the little girl's tightly clutched fingers, and ticked down the fingers on the ground, and soon dyed the small patch of snow under their feet bright red.
Even the officer and soldier who wielded the long knife in his hand were stunned.
"No, I didn't really think about swinging it, I didn't mean to. I was so far away from her, how could she be scratched by my knife? ”
The men, women, and children around who were originally just arguing with these officers and soldiers were suddenly ignited by the blood, and they didn't know who was the first to let out an angry roar, and then the people around them pounced together.
And so the scuffle began. Although these men, women, and children do not have weapons in their hands, everything around them can be used as weapons. Everyone works a lot on weekdays, not to mention anything else, at least the body bones are called a hard, even if it's just an ordinary wooden stick, you can swing the effect of a weapon!
"Ahh Help, the officers and soldiers are beating! ”
"Murder, murder, come on! These officers and soldiers are unreasonable, they draw their swords and kill people, and some of us are about to be hacked to death. ”
Everyone had been living in these tents for a while, and the relationship between them was already somewhat close. After all, they are all suffering from natural disasters, and everyone has more or less some relatives and friends who have been killed by this rare blizzard. Therefore, when they heard that those officers and soldiers were going to kill people, many people rushed over from all corners and immediately became a ball.
Those officers and soldiers thought that they were fully armed, and they carried knives and guns, so it would be easy to deal with these people who were as docile as sheep on weekdays, but no one expected that these ordinary people who were docile like rabbits would be so terrible once they broke out.
The rebellion was born from this, and this is just a microcosm, some officers and soldiers who came in the Central Plains did bring food and other supplies, but when the grain was put into the pot, some keen people couldn't help but sniff, why did this smell smell so wrong? It's a bit like moldy grain, but when they ran to those cauldrons to take a closer look, they were severely reprimanded by those officers and soldiers, and even some officers and soldiers directly beat up the people who wanted to see what kind of grain was in the grain bags, and then threw them into the corner.
Most of those people had been hungry for many days, and it was already considered good to be able to move around freely at this time. Seeing that these officers and soldiers were so strong, they no longer stopped them, after all, as long as they could stutter at this time, it was already good, but no one expected that after eating those thin porridge boiled, many people began to vomit and diarrhea that night.
Because of the suddenness of the incident, it was very cold in the middle of the night, and there were not enough medicinal materials to be found under this condition, so many people died quietly in the cold night.
This epidemic came so strangely that everyone quickly remembered that today, the only food imported into the sky is the relief food brought by those officers and soldiers. Everyone finally couldn't suppress the curiosity and anger in their hearts, so they secretly grabbed the place where the officers and soldiers stacked the relief grain, and it turned out that they took out a bag with great difficulty, opened it, and found that the grain inside was really moldy!
The people who saw this scene were immediately furious, their requirements were really not much, as long as the grain could be imported, but even the old grain was better than these moldy grains, and the moldy grain could not even be eaten casually by livestock, and it would kill people!
These officers and soldiers would only show off their might to the poor people on weekdays, and finally came to provide disaster relief, but the grain they brought over was still moldy, and they didn't regard themselves as human beings at all. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been forced to eat these moldy porridges. However, just when they only wanted an explanation, the officers and soldiers who had been exposed jumped over the wall in a hurry and arrested the people who had beaten them!
This can be regarded as provoking the anger of the public! Originally, the people of just one or two places angrily arrested those officers and soldiers, and then there were other places that echoed each other, one small piece after another, and finally formed a monstrous fire!
