Farmer sister: Escape from wilderness and farm with Lingquan space
Chapter 228 City Gate Riot
After settling down the villagers, Qiao Erhe was about to return to the city gate to remind the refugees.
Those aggressive city dwellers had already rushed out, beating the refugees on sight. They were simply a group of unreasonable thugs, and they immediately caused chaos at the city gate.
Looking at the chaos at the city gate, Qiao Erhe and others were hesitating whether they should step forward to help the poor refugees.
Unexpectedly, he saw Qiao Ran leaving the city and fighting hundreds of men single-handedly.
At this time, the villagers no longer hesitated and immediately picked up the guy and rushed over to help Qiao Ran.
The people of Qingshui Village had fought against gangsters and killed jackals. They were all extremely brave and they soon knocked to the ground the thugs in the city who were causing trouble and beating people.
Those people were just a mob, mostly idlers, lazy people, and local hooligans in the city. They rushed over in a hurry after being instigated by someone.
In fact, they don't hate refugees that much, they just have their own little ideas.
Some people are used to bullying men and women in the city, and their hands itch when they hear that they can bully others.
Some people want to fish in troubled waters and see if they can find some money and valuables from those unlucky refugees.
Others just want to take advantage of women, and want to take advantage of the chaos to drag a good-looking female refugee to a remote place to do evil things.
It can be said that although these people usually do a lot of bad things, they only dare to bully the honest people in the city who are powerless and unable to resist.
Now facing the people in Shangqingshui Village who had really experienced the fighting, they suddenly showed their timidity. Just like the refugees who were beaten by them just now, they were beaten until they were holding their heads and running around.
When all the troublemaking thugs were knocked to the ground, the city's government officials responsible for public security arrived belatedly.
The leader was a burly government official wearing a tall hat and a sword at his waist.
He had a fierce face, and when he saw the crumbling mess at the city gate, his face became even more terrifying.
"Who is causing trouble here?"
The leader's questioning was full of anger.
The term of office of the county magistrate is about to expire. In order to establish a good reputation and let the people of Shuimen County know that he is a good official who makes decisions for the people, he has already warned these government officials.
To maintain public order in the city, no mistakes can be made, and no one can get the handle, so as not to leave a bad impression on the officials responsible for evaluating political performance when they come to make secret visits.
For this reason, in the past six months, these government officials have put away their loose temper and patrolled diligently every day, which has changed the atmosphere of the entire Shuimen County a lot. Those ruffians have not dared to cause too much trouble for a long time. .
This time, a large number of refugees fled to Shuimen County. In order to prevent refugees from entering the city to destroy, smash, loot and steal, this would destroy the peaceful atmosphere that Shuimen County had finally managed to maintain.
The county magistrate generously opened a warehouse to stock up on grain, and also mobilized the wealthy households in the city to give free porridge at the city gate, just to stabilize the refugees and gain a good reputation among the people.
But unexpectedly, these people would cause trouble today, breaking the peaceful appearance they had carefully maintained. The county magistrate would definitely reprimand or even punish them. How could the government officials not be annoyed?
The leading yamen servant was named Qin Daguang. He strode over with his people and angrily shouted at the people of Qingshui Village who were still standing well:
"Who are you? Why are you making trouble here? If you don't recruit me from the truth, you will all be thrown into jail!"
Qiao Erhe and others had just beaten up the thugs who were making trouble in Shuimen County, and rescued many refugees who had been beaten and even almost had their innocence ruined.
Before they could be happy, they were suddenly surrounded by hundreds of government officials with swords. The leader of the government officials said they were troublemakers. They felt uncomfortable and had a look of anger on their faces.
Qiao Erhe handed the sword in his hand to Qiao Dong beside him, stepped forward and saluted Qin Daguang, his tone neither humble nor arrogant:
"This official, the younger one is a refugee from Qingzhou Prefecture who fled famine. These are the fellow villagers from Qingshui Village who fled with us. Please investigate clearly. It's not us who are causing trouble, it's this group of people!"
He pointed at a group of city residents who were beaten so hard that they were either sitting or lying on the ground unable to get up and said:
"These people rushed out of the city, saying that the refugees had robbed them of their food, leaving them without food, and that they wanted to drive the refugees away. They did not give everyone time to evacuate, and they directly overturned the porridge. They smashed the refugees and even touched the women. We couldn't stand it, so we came over and knocked these thugs to the ground and rescued hundreds of refugees at the gate of the city."
Upon hearing this, Qin Daguang glanced gloomily at the thugs in the city who were holding his sore hands and injured legs, and then at the refugees who were looking timidly not far away.
He felt agitated. This matter must have become known to the whole city.
If he doesn't handle it well, I'm afraid the county magistrate's good political achievements will be ruined, and his reputation as fair and capable will also be affected, and next year's promotion will be ruined.
Thinking of this, Qin Daguang simply wanted to take away all those who had ruined his good deeds, lock them in the county prison, and serve them with ten whips a day to relieve the hatred in his heart.
"Since you are refugees, why do you have so many weapons? Besides, others are wearing thin clothes and have sallow complexions. Why do you dress so luxuriously and have a glowing face?"
Qin Daguang's eyes greedily glanced at the more than a hundred men and young men standing in front of him. Half of them were wearing fur jackets that only the rich families in the city could afford, and the other half were not wearing fur clothes. But the clothes he wore were much better than those of other refugees.
Moreover, these people were not at all like other refugees who were starved, emaciated, and weak. Instead, they all had rosy and plump complexions and stood upright. They looked like they had practiced.
This made him have to doubt the identities of these people.
When Qiao Erhe heard the official officer's inquiry, he also looked at the clothes of his own people and explained:
"Reporting to the official, our weapons were stolen from a group of bandits who were blocking the way on the road. The reason why we are different from other refugees is because we did not follow the same path as others. Road. We heard that Xuanzhou County was not peaceful, so we took a detour through the mountains. For more than a month, we walked in the mountains, hunted a lot of prey, and tanned the skins ourselves to make clothes to keep out the cold. The meat of the prey We roasted it into dried meat and took it with us to satisfy our hunger, so we could wear animal skins and clothes without suffering from cold or starvation."
When the thugs on the ground who were mourning and moaning in pain heard Qiao Erhe's words and saw that among the animal skin jackets these people were wearing, there were actually a lot of wolf skins and leopard skins, they trembled with fright. I'm all sorry!
Damn it! If I had known that there was a group of people among these refugees who were so powerful, they would not have dared to come and make trouble even if they were killed!
A group of people who have fought against bandits and killed ferocious beasts. Isn't it a killing of a chicken with a sledgehammer to fight against these lazy idlers?
People like me are simply lighting up the toilet - looking for death!
