Crossing town house man and wife

In fact, there are not many good things in the warehouse of the Luo family. The most valuable part is hidden in the secret room, and most of the food was taken away when they left the city. It is some stored grain and cured meat that have deteriorated but have not had time to deal with them.

But these moldy foods also made the common people completely red-eyed.

Under Yan Heng's control, the people inside and outside Xiangping City were far from starving, but this year's natural disaster was so severe that many families were prepared to be unable to plow in the spring. Where is the surplus food willing to eat and use, most of it is saved, and it all depends on doing odd jobs for the county guard's mansion.

When I think that I have to work hard for a whole day to barely make enough to eat, and these rich and noble families would rather let the food rot in the warehouse than give it out, the little pride of the people who took advantage of it will be lost in an instant. Nothing left.

And this is exactly what Wu Ming wanted them to feel.

"The things you see in front of your eyes are the reasons why those old men want the sheriff to die." Wu Ming tore open a bag of moldy corn and poured the rice grains in front of the people, "The sheriff wants everyone to come together Live, but those old men and their families just want to live a good life for themselves!"

Wu Ming paused, and glanced at everyone present, "You should know that a while ago, there was a rebellion in the city. But you must not know that the reason why these people provoked the rebellion was because the county guard asked them to take out food Deal with natural disasters."

A series of exclamations immediately sounded from the crowd.

"Natural disasters don't happen every year, but there will always be one every three to five years. The only difference is whether it is serious or not." Wu Ming continued, "There are old people in your family, you can go back and ask if there were any in previous years. When there is a natural disaster, how do you live your life?"

"My father said that he encountered a severe cold when he was young. The sky and the ground were full of snow, and he couldn't even find a piece of wood to make a fire. He ran out of food and couldn't go out to hunt. When he was hungry, he could only eat ice. ! When spring comes, only three of the five members of the family survive!" A young man responded loudly, "Let's not talk about disaster years, it's normal years, and everyone is starving every now and then! That is, In the past ten years or so, Yan Junshou has subsidized us common people everywhere, so that everyone has food and clothing, and we have never been hungry again!"

As soon as the man finished speaking, an elderly woman answered, "That's right, if the magistrate Yan hadn't notified you in time of such a big natural disaster, he would have given everyone food and charcoal, and taught everyone how to build houses to live in." Igloo, how can we survive!"

"My younger brother was injured by the rubble, and he was healed only after being given medicine by the Sheriff's Office!"

"Widow Wang next to my house has no children. If she hadn't been taken in by the sheriff's house, she would have died of cold and starvation at home!"

A group of people chattered and chattered, which made Wu Ming a little uncomfortable to interrupt.

If you haven't rebelled for too long, your skills will become rusty!

Wu Ming sighed, and wondered if there was a babysitter from the Sheriff's Mansion among these people. Otherwise, how could he always answer the conversation so well? He didn't think that with his current status and appearance, a few words could cause such a situation. Great vibes.

Of course, the magic spell he cast must have had an effect.

Wu Ming settled down, seeing that the bitterness and sweetness had passed, he immediately raised the sword in his hand and raised his voice: "Hearing is believing, seeing is believing! What the sheriff has done for everyone is in front of everyone. Let’s put it, and what did those people who poured dirty water on the sheriff do, have you ever seen it?”

"No!" A group of people shouted in unison.

"Then let's go and have a look again!" Wu Ming waved his long sword and pointed in the direction he came from, "Choose another family and see if they are as virtuous as this Luo family!"

"Zhao's family in the north of the city!" A man shouted loudly, as if he had exhausted all his strength.

Wu Ming did not disappoint him, and immediately said: "Lead the way!"

"promise!"

Under the leadership of Wu Ming, a group of people left Luo's house in a mighty way, and walked towards Zhao's house in the north of the city.

At this time, the elders of the clan besieged the county guard's mansion, and the county guard's wife started killing again and led a group of mud-legged people to break into Luo's house. The news spread in the city. When a group of people arrived at Zhao's house, Zhao's house was already closed. Shut up and stand ready.

But in the case of unequal force, such resistance is useless at all.

Wu Ming kicked open the gate as usual, kicked away the servants blocking the gate, and then led the crowd into Zhao's house.

This time, the people who followed him didn't have the good temper they had when they were in Luo's house.

They went to Luo's house with Wu Ming just to take advantage of it. As the saying goes, they cannibalize people with short mouths and short hands. They don't dare to do too much except to take advantage of others.

But they came to the Zhao family to verify whether these people were black-hearted people carved out of the same mold, only caring about their own enjoyment, regardless of their life and death, and the reaction of the Zhao family was like adding fuel to the fire, which aroused their anger again three points.

Several strong men who had been rangers took the lead in snatching the sticks from the servants of the Zhao family, and together with Wu Ming used force to clear the way.

With such an example, the rest of the people became more and more daring. Even some women picked up some belongings and held them in their hands, followed behind a group of men, or sneak attack, or make up the knife.

A single spark can start a prairie fire.

What's more, there is no one to put out the fire, but there is an east wind to push the fire.

After getting the suggestion from the Shang Gui, Yan Heng didn't have the intention to accept it as soon as he saw it, but wanted to see what Wu Ming could lead these ordinary people to do.

Therefore, although the clan elders were brought under control, the city gates they forced to open were not closed, and the people outside the city entered the city in an endless stream. The story spread from one to another.

When Wu Ming arrived at Zhao's house, there were twice as many people behind him as when he entered Luo's house.

When he was the first to rush into the Zhao family's warehouse, the street where the Zhao family was located was already filled with dark crowds.

The Zhao family did not leave the city with their whole family like other families, which also made the Zhao family's treasury far more substantial than that of the Luo family.Even though what Wu Ming opened was just an ordinary warehouse for daily expenses, the layers of grain, bacon, cloth, and utensils inside left the common people stunned and dazzled.

"You have seen it with your own eyes. They have enough food and clothing, and the barn is full of grain and grain, but they are not willing to give everyone a bone." Wu Ming stepped forward first, picked up a piece of bacon with a sword, and raised it above his head, attracting the crowd's attention Note, "Of course, some people may say that this is someone else's property, and they can give it to whoever they want, and of course they don't have to give it if they don't want to. That's right, the so-called private property is something that is inviolable to others, and it is taken without warning. They are called thieves! But the question is—is this really theirs? Have they ever plowed an acre of land, planted a seedling? Have they ever watered a drop of water and weeded the grain once? They And have you ever fed grass for these cattle and sheep, and contributed to the slaughter? No, no, they have never done anything. You and your family are the ones who did these things! But in the end, the food Herds, cattle, sheep, clothes, land...all have been in their hands and become their wealth, but you can only stand in the cold wind, endure the cold and hunger, and watch helplessly!"

Wu Ming held up the bacon, stared at the people present, and asked word by word: "Why? Why?"

Following Wu Ming's loud questioning, the people inside and outside the warehouse suddenly became quiet, as if they were all thinking about this question.

Yes, they are obviously the ones who do the work, but why do those who do the work get nothing, while those who do nothing occupy everything?

Why?Why? !

"Because they are nobles..." a young man whispered.

"The gentry can get something for nothing?" Wu Ming turned his head, looked at the man, and asked coldly, "Which one of the three emperors and five emperors didn't work with everyone, and which one sat in the courtyard of the deep house and enjoyed it? With a surname after birth, some people can stretch out their clothes, open their mouths when they eat, and take the achievements of others as their own without any effort?"

This time, Wu Ming didn't wait for these people's reply any longer, he directly pulled the bacon off the sword, threw it into the crowd, and then shouted to the crowd: "This is not theirs, this is yours! This is theirs What was snatched from you, cheated, and usurped should belong to you!"

There was no immediate response to Wu Ming's words. The crowd just set off a commotion. After about a minute, someone raised their arms and shouted, "Yes, this is our thing! We should take our things away." Let's go, let them work and find food by themselves!"

"what!"

In an instant, a stone stirred up a thousand waves.

The people surrounded inside and outside the warehouse finally came to their senses, some were just muttering to themselves, and some were already clamoring.

"Ours, this is ours!"

Wu Ming also raised the corner of his mouth, reached out and grabbed another bag of corn, and threw it towards the crowd, "Yes, this is yours!"

"Yes, it's ours! It's ours!"

A group of common people finally came to their senses and swarmed up, taking these things that "should" belong to them as their own.

Wu Ming jumped to a high place and watched them blankly carrying food, bacon, cloth and other items out of the warehouse one by one, and ran out with a happy face.

Some people outside the warehouse were a little confused, but when they saw that the people who entered first were all running out with their things in their arms, even if they didn't "know" that these things "should" belong to them, they suddenly realized that they should do what.

Most of them probably don't even know the concept of "law does not blame the public". They may just think that since others have taken it, they must also take it.If others took it, but they just watched it, so that they got nothing in the end, then they must be the ones who were ridiculed afterwards, not the others who took the things.

In the words of later generations, this is the so-called herd mentality.

Naturally, the people of the Zhao family would not just watch their belongings being robbed by a group of ordinary people, but just as they were unwilling to take out their own food to help the people, these ordinary people who robbed their things were also unwilling to give away the fat they got. The meat was spit out and returned to people.

Wu Ming didn't pay attention to the fight between the Zhao family and these common people. Seeing that the things in the warehouse were almost moved, he made a flash, left the warehouse, and walked towards the city gate with the crowd.

Some smart people may hide quickly after grabbing something, but under the rush of blood, there are very few people who can maintain this kind of rationality, and more people will only return to the temporary residence with these stolen things, and Families share their joy.

But will Yan Heng allow these people who have turned into bandits to take things out of the city?

The answer in Wu Ming's mind was no.

The reason why Yan Heng tends to the common people even makes people feel that he is really kind and merciful to the common people. It is not because he stands on the standpoint of these common people and empathizes with their weakness and misery. He just thinks that the gentry He couldn't implement his philosophy of governing the world, so he had to seek support and support from the people.

In the final analysis, Yan Heng's mentality is still that of a superior who controls power, and Yan Heng's position is also an imperial bureaucrat rather than a commoner.

No controller likes the world he governs out of control, even if it benefits him in the short term.

Wu Ming also knows that in many cases, order is far more conducive to the harmonious development of human society than fairness.

But just as understanding is not the same as acceptance, it is one thing to know, but another to do it.

More importantly, Wu Ming is only good at destruction. Even after 2000 years of reincarnation, he still hasn't learned how to bring the out-of-control world back on track.

Therefore, he wanted to see what Yan Heng would do.
