Travel through troubled times and escape famine with the system

Chapter 205: Distinguish between public and private matters

"go!"

Lu You snatched the scissors from Widow Zhou's hand, turned his head sideways, grabbed the remaining half of her long hair, and cut it off directly along her shoulders.

"Leave the city now!!"

Throwing away the cut long hair in his hand, Lu You directly grabbed several large bags on the table, and with a slight thought, he wanted to throw all the things into the storage space.

But this time, the largest bag of food did not move at all, and still lay quietly on the table.

Receive!

Lu You grabbed the bag of food and thought again.

[Insufficient storage space left, cannot be included! ]

Following the system's prompt, Lu You quickly opened the system panel and checked the storage space.

The interior of this storage space is not a one cubic meter box, but more like a huge chaotic area.

When Lu You looked at the things inside, he had no entity of his own, only a perspective that could overlook the entire area.

In this space, long and short swords, arrows and long bows were all floating in the air.

There is no percentage, no progress bar, and no indication of the storage space usage.

Because when the system calculates the volume of an item, it calculates the volume of the space actually occupied by the item.

So Lu You had no way of knowing how much storage space was occupied.

After a little thought, Lu You moved his mind slightly and took out the packages of the three people again.

"Divide this large bag of sesame cakes into three packages and let each of us carry one on our backs."

"This way, if we really get into danger and get separated, we won't go hungry."

As he spoke, Lu You unpacked the large bag full of food and began to stuff it into the three people's bags.

Widow Zhou and Lu Yi realized the urgency of the matter and rushed forward to help.

Soon, the three people's packages were filled, but only about half of the big bag of pancakes was shared.

Lu You grabbed the package again, and this time there was no accident. As Lu You's thought flashed through his mind, the remaining half bag of food was put into the storage space.

"Let's get out of town!"

Lu You tied his package on his back and walked towards the door, but before he reached the door, the system prompt sounded again.

[Negative emotions from Lang Zhengping +60, +60, +60...]

[Negative emotions from Xia Yi +15, +15...]

[Negative emotions from Qian Zhaode...]

Lang Zhengping is here!

Lu You stood at the door and looked towards the direction of Buhou Street, only to see two rows of torches approaching accompanied by the sound of chaotic footsteps.

"Deer Yo!!"

Seeing Lu You and the other two carrying their bags and leaving, Lang Zhengping shouted loudly.

Under the gaze of Lu You and the other two, Lang Zhengping led the constables to surround the gate.

"Where are you going!?"

Lang Zhengping shouted breathlessly.

"Of course I have to flee the city!" Now that his cultivation has broken through, Lu You is not afraid even when facing a group of constables.

Lang Zhengping held the Jin Bing General Flag waist badge and said, "Is what you said true?"

"Look at me like this, tell me if this is true."

Looking at Lang Zhengping's anxious eyes, Lu You said in a cold voice.

She could not forget the scene in the dungeon where Lu Ming was almost tortured beyond recognition.

So even if Lang Zhengping came to her in dishevel to ask for confirmation, she could not treat him calmly.

"Where did you meet this Jin soldier?" Lang Zhengping asked anxiously.

Lu You did not answer, but looked at Lang Zhengping and asked, "Did you send Zheng Xiezi and others to kill me?"

When Lu You said this, he just wanted to put pressure on Lang Zhengping and didn't think the other party would admit it.

But who would have thought that when Lang Zhengping heard this, his face suddenly became serious, and then he nodded seriously.

"Yes!"

"Although I don't have any evidence, my son Hongyun's death must be related to you and your sister."

"Zheng Xiezi and the others were sent out by my order to kill you."

amount……

Lang Zhengping is so open and honest that he can't deal with Lu You.

"no……"

"Mr. Lang! Since you admitted that you wanted to kill me, do you think I will tell you any more news?"

"These are two different things!" Lang Zhengping said loudly, "The hatred between you and me for killing my son is irreconcilable!"

"Now that I have admitted it, I will never change my confession at any time."

"As long as we survive this crisis, I will find another chance to kill you. If you can escape my blockade, you can also go to the provincial government to sue me."

"By then, let alone losing this official robe, even if the prefect wants to chop off my head, I will accept my fate!"

As he spoke, Lang Hongyun grabbed the Jin soldiers' flag badge and held it high.

"But those are just our personal grudges, and we shouldn't involve the people of the entire county!"

"If you are still angry, I can kneel down and apologize to you now, but you must keep this message today, otherwise I will never let you leave this street!"

Following Lang Hongyun's roar, the dozen or so constables following him drew their swords and pointed them at Lu You.

Listening to the negative reminder sounds that kept ringing in his mind, Lu You understood that these people were ready to fight for their lives.

Looking at Lang Zhengping's serious face, Lu You felt absurd.

Ever since he started selling pancakes, Lang Zhengping has left a very bad impression on Lu You.

He allowed his brother-in-law Ma Sanye to open a casino and hire thugs, and allowed his son to commit crimes, which almost took Lu Ming's life.

Coupled with the torture of Lu Ming in the dungeon and the fact that he sent people to kill him today, Lang Zhengping's image as a corrupt official has almost been deeply rooted in Lu You's mind.

But the Lang Zhengping in front of him suddenly staged such a big drama of daring to act and take responsibility, distinguishing between public and private affairs and caring about the people. It was clearly something that only a qualified official could do.

These two completely different images collided and conflicted in Lu You's mind, always giving her a sense of unreality.

"Can you really kneel down and kowtow to apologize?" Lu You asked curiously.

"For the sake of the people, why not?"

Lang Zhengping said solemnly, then he lifted up his official robe and knelt down in front of Lu You!

"Master..." "Sir..."

When the people behind Lang Zhengping saw this, they opened their mouths to stop him, but were stopped by Lang Zhengping waving his hands.

Kneeling on the ground, Lang Zhengping stood straight and looked up at Lu You.

"Today, as long as you are willing to tell me the news about the Jin soldiers, I will kowtow to you as many times as you want me to!"

As he spoke, Lang Zhengping supported himself on the ground with his hands and was about to kowtow to Lu You.

But just as the head was about to touch the ground, Lu You stretched out his foot and supported the forehead with the instep of his foot.

Lang Zhengping looked up at Lu You, his eyes full of confusion.

Lu You sneered, "Don't use the lives of ordinary people to provoke me. If I really let you kowtow, wouldn't we become villains?"

"I have only one condition. I will tell you the information about the Jin soldiers, and you will open the east gate and let my sister and I leave."

"Okay!" Lang Zhengping stood up and said, "But if I see you again in the future, I will still kill you to avenge my son!"

"That's exactly what I wanted to tell you!"

Lu You said this with disdain, and then briefly told Lang Zhengping everything he had seen outside the city that day.

As Lu You spoke, Lang Zhengping's expression became more solemn.

"The official road west of the city is fifteen miles long... So, half of our Jianhe County has fallen into the hands of the Jin soldiers!"

Lu You's face was also full of solemnity when he heard this: "Let me remind you again, there is something wrong with the merchants outside the west gate. You'd better take people to arrest them now."

"Otherwise, if we let them into the city when the gates open tomorrow, that would be real trouble!"
