Wang Mi shook his head. At this moment, he had a deeper understanding of Huan Chong's words. Huan Chong was right, Xie Xuan, a son of a noble family, indeed lacked understanding of the real world.
Even he could see through things at a glance, how could the villagers who were about to starve fall for it?
If the food in the garrison was enough, how could Xie Xuan send troops to seize food?
"You return our food!"
There was another woman who climbed up from the muddy water, it was Lianniang. She dragged her injuries and still staggered to the front.
She had seen through Xie Xuan's hypocrisy and was sure that he would not return the food.
She has always had a strong personality, so she will not be confused.
The hoarse roar immediately aroused the anger of the villagers.
Lianniang's frail body and red and swollen face reminded the villagers of what happened to them.
They feel the same way.
Suddenly, the crowd was excited.
"No matter where you are, you cannot rob the people in the garrison of food!"
"Give us back the food!"
"Give it back to us!"
The villagers shouted excitedly, and the crowd also rushed forward. At the critical moment, Liu Laozhi jumped out and brought several soldiers to trap the villagers firmly in place.
"Stop them!"
"We can't let them hurt the general!"
All Liu Laozhi did was to intensify the conflict. The villagers were indeed aggrieved, but they had no intention of causing trouble for Xie Xuan.
But Liu Laozhi's arrogant push ignited the fire in the hearts of the villagers.
They kept shouting loudly and charging at the soldiers. Although they were beaten, they still refused to give in. Instead, they became more and more courageous.
How can I retreat?
If we retreat now, how will we let them live in the future?
Surrounded by the crowd, Xie Xuan frowned, feeling very troubled.
Food is the most important thing for the people!
People are iron rice is steel!
Countless saints' famous sayings and aphorisms passed before Xie Xuan's eyes. Although he could not sympathize with the suffering of the villagers, he was still infected.
Otherwise, just return the food to them?
Although he did not talk to Huan Chong, Huan Chong could already feel Xie Xuan's thoughts from his eyes.
Hehe, I have already said that he has no experience in dealing with unruly villagers.
Huan Chong met Xie Xuan's eyes asking for help, and then turned his head away.
It would be a dream to ask him for help at this time!
The cunning old man actually refused to help!
"General!"
"Give us the food back!"
Xie Xuan was thinking of a solution alone when he suddenly felt a tightness in his legs. He saw a woman covered in mud hugging his thigh tightly.
Countless muddy liquids, led by the woman, all stained Xie Xuan's clean clothes. Xie Xuan was disgusted with it, but due to his image of being close to the people, it was not easy to get angry.
Just now, the guards were busy trying to stop the villagers who were making trouble behind them, but they didn't notice that there was a weak woman just in front of the large group of people. She was Lian Niang.
Seeing the villagers trapped by the soldiers, Lianniang gritted her teeth and rushed towards Xie Xuan!
For food!
Fight!
The guards quickly turned the boat around, grabbed the woman's arms, and tried to pull her away.
What a cunning woman dares to offend General Xie!
If you don't hurry up, pull her out and beat her twenty times!
She's just a weak woman, so I'd better... endure it.
Xie Xuan waved his hand to push away the guards, and pretended to help the woman up, saying earnestly: "You get up first, if there is a way, there will always be a way."
Seeing Lianniang being helped up, the villagers were stunned.
They seemed to see hope.
Wang Mi, who had been watching, was shocked.
What is Xie Xuan doing?
It's useless to talk nonsense.
Method?
Where is the solution?
Lao Xie was also very worried. To be honest, all the troubles today were caused by his own willful actions and had nothing to do with anyone else.
But when the villagers came to make trouble, it was completely beyond his imagination.
Naturally, he turned to look at Huan Chong.
It is human instinct to blame someone, and Xie Xuan is not bad at it.
But at this moment, Xie Xuan's eyes suddenly lit up, Huh?
Isn’t the solution right here?
Lien Niang adhered to the principle that crying is a woman's highest instinct, and cried at the top of her lungs. Under her leadership, the people in the garrison stopped fighting and making trouble.
They all fell to the ground and howled loudly.
The strategy changed so quickly that even the guards responsible for blocking it were panicked.
Turns come one after another, and I can't control them. I really can't.
If they want to cry, just cry!
Let them go!
Xie Xuan suddenly cast a friendly look at Huan Chong. Huan Chong's heart trembled. What's going on?
Becoming a monster?
"Of course there is a way, but you can't ask me. You have to ask General Huan."
"I am just a partial general under General Huan. All matters in the army must be decided by General Huan."
What the hell?
Huan Chong was stunned!
What does this have to do with me?
There is still such an operation!
Wang Mi took a step and hid behind Duan Xian.
Good guy!
This old Xie is so sinister. I never thought that a seemingly upright person like him could actually do such an immoral thing.
What kind of behavior is this?
This is a proper blame-shifting behavior.
Be sure to stay away from him and don't get caught by him.
How will Huan Chong respond?
The head of the Huan family in Qiao County, in his own words, had rich experience in dealing with countless troubled villagers.
Huan Chong looked at Xie Xuan with a particularly complicated mood.
Youdu, ah, Youdu, tsk tsk, you’ve learned badly.
However, Xie Youdu will soon realize that ginger is still spicy when old.
Huan Chong suddenly looked at Wang Mi. This rising star of the Wang family in Langya had his juniors everywhere. It was time to find something for him to do.
Huan Chong looked at Xie Xuan: What do you think of him?
Xie Xuan immediately understood: Very good.
Huan Chong: Who is best to blame?
Xie Xuan: Of course it’s for him!
The two of them bowed their heads slightly and immediately reached an agreement.
"Madam, food matters are not the responsibility of either of us, but this young gentleman is responsible for it."
Huan Chong calmly pulled Wang Mi to the front and recommended him to Lianniang.
After hearing this, Wang Mi was stunned.
what happened?
What does this matter have to do with me!
Seeing the villagers' eyes turning towards him, Wang Mi quickly grabbed the two kind-hearted seniors.
"General Xie, General Huan, I'm not a member of the military, so I don't know how to deal with such an incident. Please show your support."
"Besides, this is not my business in the first place!" Wang Mi felt aggrieved by the big blame that fell out of thin air.
Xie Xuan stroked his beard and looked at him expectantly: "Secretary Wang is very resourceful and can be called a wise man again. There is nothing you can't handle."
"I have only recently noticed your talent. I have wronged you a few days ago. I should have given you a chance to show off like this a long time ago."
"Folks, if you have any questions, just ask Secretary Wang!"
Huan Chong also stepped forward, patted Wang Mi's shoulder affectionately, and said with a smile: "Young man, I believe in you!"
"Secretary Wang is someone close to His Majesty, and he is very capable!"
