"You unruly people, you bunch of unruly people, how dare you attack people from the government!"
On the official road, Magistrate Wang looked nervously at the fence being attacked by the victims.
Once the fence is shaken down, the countless victims outside will rush to Liuhe County.
Even though the government officials were beating them with sticks at this moment, they still could not force the victims to retreat.
In the face of drought, the victims have nothing to eat. If they cannot find food, they can only starve to death.
In order to survive, disaster victims will do anything!
"What troublesome people, we just want to survive!"
"Yes, you have so much food in Liuhe County, so what if we share some of it with you?"
"Ignore him and rush in!"
The victims roared angrily, and many even had their hands swollen and bleeding from the sticks of the government officials. They still wanted to dismantle the fence.
The rickety fence could not withstand the torment of so many people, and it was quickly uprooted.
"Rush over!"
"We just want food!"
The victims' eyes were shining and they rushed over with hope.
At this moment, the sound of horse hoofbeats accompanied by a steady sound reached everyone's ears.
"You must think clearly, once you rush over, it will be a death penalty!"
When County Magistrate Wang heard this voice, he felt a little relieved.
Su Cheng is here, maybe he can persuade these people to retreat!
"Su Cheng, you're finally here!" Magistrate Wang came forward wiping cold sweat.
Su Chengchao nodded slightly to the county magistrate, then got off his horse and came to the group of victims.
Shen Youwei on the side was worried that he had made a mistake, so she quickly picked up the sharp sword on her horse and followed him.
"Who are you and why do you care about our affairs?"
Among the victims, someone shouted angrily at Su Cheng.
Once someone says something like this, someone immediately echoes: "Who do you think you are, do you dare to interfere in our affairs?"
"Yes, we will starve to death if we don't go there!"
"Mind your own business and get out of the way!"
It can be seen that the victims did not care about anything in order to survive.
Su Cheng narrowed his eyes.
These people who take the initiative to speak are the ones who stir up dissension.
The other party is very insidious and knows how to hide among the victims so that he will not be discovered by others.
It seems that this incident is really not a spontaneous action by the victims, but someone is controlling everything behind the scenes.
Unsurprisingly, all this must be the revenge of Magistrate Liu of Xincheng County!
If we can't suppress these people, something will happen today.
Looking at the group of victims being taken advantage of in front of him, Su Cheng snorted coldly and put his hands behind his back:
"I am a descendant of the royal family, a hereditary prince, who do you think I am?"
As soon as these words came out, the victims immediately looked at each other in shock.
It is not easy for ordinary people to see the county magistrate in this life, let alone a marquis in front of them.
Although they didn't know what the title of the Marquis meant, they were scared when they heard the words "royal clan"!
No matter what happens, once it involves the royal family, it is not something ordinary people can mess with.
Even the hidden provocateurs were dumbfounded at this moment.
Just kidding, they just came here to grab food and didn't want to offend the royal family at all.
For a moment, everyone looked at me and me, and they all had no idea.
When Shen Youwei saw this scene, a smile appeared on her lips.
My husband is quite powerful, these few words calmed the scene.
It's a shame that I was still worried about his safety. Now it seems that my worries are unnecessary.
But...this guy is usually so good at what he does, why does he always look so stupid towards himself?
Pouting her lips, Shen Youwei was already thinking about how to prepare Su Cheng when she went home at night.
However, just when Shen Youwei thought the scene was under control, someone suddenly raised a question:
"Master Marquis? Why didn't we know there was a Master Marquis in Liuhe County?"
"Yes, and this royal family member shouldn't appear here!"
"Hehe, I think he is probably a fake!"
"Hmph, if he is a fake, he might be arrested and sent to prison today!"
Doubts arose one after another, and some people did not want this matter to be suppressed like this.
They have all arrived at the junction. If they don't go to Liuhe County to collect food, how can they be willing to do so?
Fortunately, at this time, Magistrate Wang snorted coldly, stood up and explained: "You are blind, didn't you see that I was polite to Su Chengdu?"
"If you are an ordinary person, do I need such courtesy?"
"This time, I specifically invited Su Cheng to come here to resolve the matter. If it weren't for Su Cheng's status as a marquis, I wouldn't have had any need to invite him here."
"We have a marquis in Liuhe County. If you make trouble, it will not only be beheading, but also the nine tribes will be implicated!"
Magistrate Wang is not a fool and understands that Su Cheng wants to use his identity as a marquis to suppress these people.
At this time, it was he who needed to stand up and prove Su Cheng's identity!
Seizing grain is nothing more than beheading.
But if you collide with a marquis, it will be a serious crime that will implicate the nine clans!
When the victims heard that the nine tribes were implicated, their faces suddenly showed panic.
Yes, the victims are not afraid of death.
But this does not mean that they are not afraid that their family members will be killed one after another!
They cannot afford this serious crime that has implicated the nine tribes.
Even those who were sowing discord were silent at this moment and did not dare to speak.
You must know that these were the words spoken by the Liuhe County Magistrate, and looking at the Magistrate's attitude towards Su Cheng, they also saw some clues.
It’s a kind of respect from the inside out, it doesn’t look like it’s fake!
Su Cheng looked at the panicked victims and sighed.
In fact, he also knew that these people were forced to do such a thing.
If not forced by life, who would be willing to be a thief and steal other people's food.
If I don't give them a way out today, those who are sowing discord may take advantage of the night to lead the victims into Liuhe County to harvest rice.
"Everyone, I understand your difficulties, and I also know that you have no choice but to do this!"
"I will let Mr. Wang not be held accountable for today's actions, but you must disperse!"
In order to improve his prestige, Su Cheng changed his name.
He stared at everyone with a serious face: "If you are short of food, you can go to the county magistrate where you are. There is some food in the grain depot!"
"Now that there is a drought, they should open a warehouse to provide relief!"
Each county will store some food to prepare for emergencies.
Now at this time, Su Cheng felt that the county magistrates should take out the grain.
The victims were overjoyed upon hearing this.
"Yes, we still have a granary!"
"Let's go, go back and ask the county magistrate to open a warehouse to stock up on food!"
"Thank you, Mr. Marquis, for your advice. Let's go back now, lest we go back too late and the food is taken away by others!"
The originally crowded official roads soon emptied out, and the victims all returned to their respective counties.
However, County Magistrate Wang did not show any joy, but instead looked filled with complaints:
