Travel through troubled times and escape famine with the system

Lu You stood up from the carriage and looked in the direction where the sound came from.

She had dealt with this voice too many times. The guy who robbed money was obviously Qian Zhaode, the constable of Qingshi Town!

Isn't he dead too?

Lu You carefully recalled the battle between the west gate of Qingshi Town and the Jin soldiers.

At that time, almost all the constables in Qingshi Town were killed or injured, and there were probably less than twenty people left.

But at that time, she hated those people who were just watching indifferently, and she was only focused on dismantling the door and didn't even have time to see who survived.

I didn’t expect that this Qian guy is so lucky!

Although this guy is usually a bit greedy, why is he engaging in robbery now?

Lu You remembered clearly that Qian Zhaode was very brave when fighting against the Jin soldiers.

Even Lu You was moved by the tragic scene, thinking that he had made a mistake.

But in just one day, he went from being a police officer who fought hard for the people to a villain who plundered people's money.

The change before and after is quite huge!

Just as Lu You was thinking about it, he saw two or three men wearing linen clothes and holding blood-stained swords coming to Guan Shanyue and others.

"You! Take out half of the silver you have and put it in this sack!"

One of the big men said this arrogantly, and then threw a sack in front of everyone.

Lu Yi took a look at the sack, then picked it up gently with the short knife in his hand and threw it directly into the fire.

"You kid is looking for death..."

Seeing Lu Yi's move, the man shouted loudly and was about to step forward, but was then pulled back by his companion beside him.

"Are you fucking blind? Don't you see that these people are holding weapons?"

After being reminded like this, the man was slightly stunned, but even so he still snorted coldly.

"So what if you have weapons?"

"There are only six or seven people, all of them women and scholars. Even if we give them these weapons, can they swing them?"

As he spoke, the man put his hand to his mouth and blew a sharp whistle.

Hearing the signal, twenty or thirty figures in the distance shouted in response.

"what happened!"

"Who doesn't want to pay the money?"

"See if I don't chop him down..."

As the shouts came, figures continued to come, each in groups of two holding a sack. Soon, there were twenty or thirty people gathered.

Such a scene immediately frightened the surrounding people so much that they retreated one after another, fearing that they would be implicated.

"Everyone, get out of my way! I want to see who dares not to pay the money!"

A constable covered in blood separated the group of men in sackcloth clothes and came closer. When he saw the appearance of Zhao Wenbo and the others clearly, he immediately laughed.

"Oh! Who did I think they were? Turns out to be Mr. Zhao and Mr. Guan!"

"You guys are not reading books, but are playing with swords?"

As the constable spoke, he turned and looked at the burly men in sackcloth clothes behind him.

"Brothers, these two people in front of us are both respectable people in our Qingshi City. We must give them this respect."

"I'll make the decision. I don't want half of their money. I want one-third of it!"

After saying this, the constable looked at Zhao Wenbo with a smile again.

"Master Zhao, you've heard it, I've already fought for you, don't make it difficult for us, just hand over 30% of the silver you have on you, and we won't bother you anymore, how about that?"

Zhao Wenbo stood up and held a knife in his hand. "We have no money, otherwise we would have gone to the city long ago and would not be starving and freezing here."

"Stop kidding!" the constable scolded.

"When you held the banquet yesterday, I was standing outside your restaurant. I saw with my own eyes that all the wealthy families in Qingshi Town sent gifts. You must have received at least a thousand taels of gift money."

"Now you say you have no money? Do you think I will believe it?"

"Whether you believe it or not has nothing to do with me," Zhao Wenbo said calmly.

"Okay! You really have the character of a scholar!" The constable sneered and said, "Since you don't cooperate, don't blame us brothers for being unrighteous. Search for me..."

As the constable was speaking, he was kicked and fell to the ground.

Behind him, a tall constable walked out cursing.

"How dare you be so blind as to use violence against Mr. Guan and Mr. Zhao? I think you are tired of living!"

While cursing, Qian Zhaode strode up to Zhao Wenbo, bowed slightly to him, and then walked directly to the carriage next to him.

"Miss Lu, are you taking a break?"

Following Qian Zhaode's words, everyone turned to look at Lu You on the carriage.

When Lu You saw this scene, he sighed and patted Qian Zhaode on the shoulder.

"Xiao Qian, we are all from the same village, what are you doing?"

[Negative emotions from Qian Zhaode +70, +70, +70...]

When Qian Zhaode heard Lu You's name, his face suddenly froze.

He will be thirty next year, and he is naturally unhappy when being called "Little Qian" by this sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl in front of him.

If it were someone else, he would definitely take action directly and let the other person know what the rules are.

But he didn’t dare to do that to Lu You!

The night before, he went to Lu You's house with Lang Zhengping.

He knew where the blood on Lu You came from.

A man killed an entire banner of Jin soldiers and escaped unscathed, returning to the city with the general banner.

He had fought head-on with the Jin soldiers, so he naturally understood how terrifying Lu You was.

"Miss Lu, you're joking. This is all a misunderstanding!"

"Is it a misunderstanding?" Lu You waved the dagger and tapped the sack in Qian Zhaode's hand. Suddenly, there was a crisp sound of silver colliding. "We are all family. Tell me, what's going on?"

Looking at Lu You's smile, Qian Zhaode suddenly felt his heart tighten. He no longer dared to hide it and directly told the whole story.

It turned out that the dozen or so remaining constables took away all the weapons of the dead Jin soldiers when they left the city.

Along the way, he began to use his official uniform to constantly entangle the pedestrians in Qingshi Town and distributed weapons to them.

At first, we thought that there was strength in numbers. If the Jin soldiers caught up with us, everyone would be able to fight with swords in hand.

Who knew that when they arrived outside Pingchang County, they were told that they had to pay five taels of silver before entering the city.

Out of desperation, he started to steal people's money.

"Miss Lu, we are not bandits, and we have not cut off your escape route."

"No matter how much money the people have, we only want half. Brothers, we just want to make a living."

"Asking for this silver is like asking for an explanation for defending the city at all costs. What do you think?"

Qian Zhaode looked at Lu You and spoke carefully, fearing that he might say something wrong and make Lu You unhappy.

But unexpectedly, after hearing what he said, Lu You nodded repeatedly.

"It's really not too much. You fought to the death to defend the city and you've done a favor to the people. I think you deserve this money!"

[Negative emotions from Lu Yi +30, +30, +30...]

Qian Zhaode was overjoyed when he heard this: "Miss Lu is indeed very thoughtful, that's the truth!"

Lu You also grinned upon hearing this: "Then tell me, I worked so hard to bring the news of the Jin soldiers back to the city, am I doing you a favor as well?"

"Forehead……"

[Negative emotions from Qian Zhaode +90, +90, +90...]

"Miss Lu, what do you mean by this?"

"Isn't it obvious?" Lu You frowned and looked at Qian Zhaode.

"You fought to the death to defend the city, and you are doing a favor to the people, so you can rob them of their money."

"Then I am doing you a favor by sending you the message, so I can naturally rob you of your money, right?"

As he spoke, Lu You stretched out his hand and placed the dagger on Qian Zhaode's neck.

"Robbery!"
