Crossing town house man and wife

Wu Ming followed the crowd and walked out of the city.

Along the way, I saw more and more people walking back with food, bacon, and high-quality silk cloth, and the people who entered the city couldn't help but join the ranks of looting.Just one Zhao family can no longer meet their needs, but the big families on both sides of the street have already locked their gates, blocking all possible passages for them to enter, and they don't have the force of Wu Ming to kick open the doors of these people. The door, so the Luo family, whose door opened suddenly, became another choice for them.

But the floating wealth in Luo's house was already running out, and the more valuable things were not something these common people could find.Wu Ming believed that if Yan Heng did not send people to control it, the riot would soon spread to the entire Xiangping City.At that time, just locking the gate will no longer be able to stop the people who are on the verge of madness. They will do everything they can, and set fire to what they can't break open, and they won't leave what they can't get to others.

Like, he's done it countless times before.

Wu Ming has been followed by people all the time, most of them didn't get what they wanted and wanted to enter another house with him.

But seeing Wu Ming go straight to the city gate without any stop on the way, some people lost their patience, turned around and went to other places to find bargains.However, other people who had already robbed property and were about to leave the city gradually gathered around Wu Ming. They had obviously calmed down and knew that the city gate might not be easy to get out of, so they planned to use his power to take the looted things out of the city gate.

When the city gate was close in front of the eyes, the scene of Yan Heng riding a tall horse, leading a group of cavalry and a group of infantry in front of the city gate also came into view.

Wu Ming raised the corner of his mouth, thinking: Sure enough, Yan Heng has clearly grasped his due position.

As soon as Wu Ming left the Sheriff's Mansion, Yao Zhong's subordinates followed him and relayed his whereabouts in time.

Yan Heng was not idle either. After imprisoning the elders of the clan, he began to investigate the matter of the elders and the people entering the city.But when he asked the soldiers and officers at the city gate, Yan Heng found that they didn't know what to ask. He didn't know why these people entered the city, nor why he let them in. He just felt confused, like After dozing off, the entire city gate was completely opened.

Wu Ming once introduced some commonly used spells to Yan Heng while chatting. After listening to the descriptions of these soldiers, Yan Heng couldn't help but think of a spell called "*spell".

As the name suggests, this spell causes people to lose self-control, say what the caster wants them to say, or do what the caster wants them to do, as if obsessed.

Now, Yan Heng knew that the two Taoist priests must have played tricks without the need for the Shang ghost to explain away his doubts.

After pondering for a while, Yan Heng ordered to close all the gates on all sides of the city, and personally led his troops to the gate where the clan elders entered the city.

He has a jade talisman given to him by Wu Ming on his body, which can resist most spells cast from a long distance. If the two Taoist priests still want to cast spells on him, then he will let them taste the power of ordinary people-Wu Ming told him earlier Over him, one of the ways to deal with monks is to use a sharpshooter with superior arm strength to shoot them from a long distance.

Yan Heng himself is a sharpshooter, and he is not stingy with burying the enemy with his life. The moment he decided to kiss the city gate, he even burst out with blood that he hadn't felt for a long time.

Unfortunately, after arriving at the city gate, Yan Heng did not wait for the magic attack he was expecting, and only Wu Ming and a group of rioters appeared in front of him.

The well-equipped regular army is incomparable to thugs such as guards and servants. Standing there in full armor, the cold aura and shining armor scare the common people so that they dare not take a step forward.

Wu Ming also stopped, and stood in the crowd watching for a while, seeing that the people around him were all cowering, and no one dared to rush forward to break through forcibly, so he couldn't help but sneered.

Some things will not change because of the change of time.

Human beings always hope that there will be a savior who can rescue themselves from the sea of ​​suffering, but in fact, they just don't want to take the risk and responsibility of saving themselves.

But they don't know, or don't realize, that when they hand over the risks and responsibilities, the power and rights have been taken away along with the risks and responsibilities.

This is why classes are never eliminated.

To use a fashionable saying in later generations, it is the inferiority of human beings.

Wu Ming took a deep breath, controlled his emotions, and walked to the front of the crowd, Yan Heng's horse.

Yan Heng had seen Wu Ming a long time ago, but he finally resisted the desire to get off his horse and drag people. He sat on the horse's back and looked at Wu Ming with a condescending attitude.

"I can't let them leave like this." Yan Heng spoke first.

"What do you want to do?" Wu Ming asked indifferently, throwing the long sword aside, folded his hands on his chest.

Yan Heng didn't answer, just stared at Wu Ming, waiting for his answer.

But Wu Ming didn't give any response, just stared at him with the same indifferent expression, his dark eyes were as calm as a windless lake.

Yan Heng thought that Wu Ming was expressing his dissatisfaction silently, but in fact, he was just controlling his emotions.

If it wasn't for his deliberate control, Yan Heng would have turned into a corpse at this time.

Even if he deliberately controls, if Yan Heng can't come up with a solution that satisfies him, he can't be sure that when Yan Heng raises the butcher's knife to these people, he will send Yan Heng to the west first.

It is said that the ass determines the head, and even if he sits on the ass of the superior, he still cannot solve the problem with the mentality of the superior.

This feeling is very similar to their perspective at the moment.

The silence lasted for about half a cup of tea, and Yan Heng finally took the lead in taking action.

He said nothing, but gestured to an officer following him.

Only then did Wu Ming notice that neither Yao Zhong nor Mu Yao was following Yan Heng.

Is the identity inappropriate, or the appearance is inappropriate, or, they have already hidden in some corners and started doing dirty work?

Wu Ming lowered his eyelids and took another deep breath.

The officer who received Yan Heng's signal had already stepped forward and said loudly: "Listen, put down everything in your hand quickly, and your crime of robbery will be written off! If you don't, it will be aggravated. Sit down and kill!"

The officer's threat only caused a commotion in the crowd, but none of them responded.

All the people are staring at Wu Ming.

Wu Ming still didn't speak, just stood in front of Yan Heng's horse with his arms crossed.

And such a gesture is enough to show that he, like the people behind him, is neither satisfied with such a decision nor buys it.

The officer who shouted suddenly showed anger, but since the leader was the wife of the sheriff, he could only turn his head and wait for Yan Heng's further instructions.

Yan Heng really wanted to order this group of rioters to be tied up and thrown into the mines as coolies. At the same time, he also wanted to order that all the rich and troublesome noble families in the city be ransacked.But he hasn't lost his mind yet, and naturally he knows that no matter the former or the latter, he can only think about it a little bit in his heart. If he puts it into practice, then he really doesn't want to do it as a sheriff, and can only hide from the world with Wu Ming To practice Taoism.

Yan Heng sighed inaudibly, recalled the news reported by Yao Zhong's subordinates, and finally said: "Even if I let them take away the looted things, how many more meals can they eat?" It is better to teach a man to fish than to fish, not to mention, not everyone has become a robber like them, if I just let them go like this, will those who have not become robbers and have not received money and food feel unfair?"

"Okay." Yan Heng's last sentence moved Wu Ming. Although Yan Heng still didn't want to talk directly to the people, and insisted on going around a circle to talk to Wu Ming, Wu Ming was still very upset, but he still decided Give Yan Heng a chance, "Then come up with a fair solution so that everyone can benefit."

"All things are confiscated and included in the disaster relief account." Yan Heng said, "Tonight, the two resettlement sites will have extra meals together. Starting tomorrow, I will collect food from the big households in the city again to ensure the food supply before the autumn harvest. But borrow a sentence from my wife , Those who don’t work don’t get food, if someone eats too much in the name of almsgiving, I will definitely not spare that person lightly!”

"I have no objection." Wu Ming turned his head and asked the people behind him, "What do you think?"

A group of people looked at each other in blank dismay, but still no one dared to speak.

But this time, Wu Ming did not continue to stand in front of Yan Heng's horse, turned around, walked to the side of the street, and put on a gesture of not interfering.

Seeing Wu Ming make such a gesture, some people finally couldn't help but mutter, "Aren't these things ours? We take our own things, why do we have to hand them over to the public?"

Because you can't beat these state machines, and you don't dare to fight them.

Wu Mingxin slandered, but turned around, sneered and said: "Make it clear, this is yours, not 'yours'! How many acres of land have you planted and how many cattle and sheep have you raised? What can you earn from your hard work? In the warehouse of the Zhao family?"

A series of questions scared the complaining people back again and again, but Wu Ming changed his voice and continued: "As the wife of the sheriff, I trust the sheriff, and I believe that his method can make these things truly become 'You', let all the people who have worked in Xiangping City benefit together! If any of you feel that the guarantee of the county guard is unreliable, or that other people outside the city are not part of you, that's easy, the city gate It's over there, just walk over there!"

Who dares to walk over and die?

Many people had similar slander in their hearts, but in the end no one dared to complain anymore, but someone tentatively walked over and put a bag of grain in his hand on the ground.

"Search!" The officer who shouted before shouted again.

But without waiting for the soldiers on both sides to make a move, Yan Heng raised his hand and stopped him: "No need, just empty hands."

The officer was slightly taken aback, and then signaled the soldiers below to let him go.

The man's eyes were obviously bright, and he hurried through the army and disappeared at the other end of the city gate.

With a successful example, the rest of the people followed suit, placing large items such as grain and bacon in their hands on the open space at the gate of the city. Yan Heng didn't care, and the soldiers guarding the gate naturally wouldn't ask.

At the same time, the entire city of Xiangping was under martial law, and heavily armed soldiers drove out the people who were still trying to enter the homes of rich noble families from the streets, and drove out of the city together with the people who had completed the looting.

About an hour later, the streets of Xiangping City finally returned to tranquility, and the city gate where Yan Heng was located was only left with grain utensils like hills.

Perhaps there were still a small number of people who hid in the ruins of the city and did not come to hand in their income, but the martial law did not end here. When order was restored on the streets, soldiers would enter houses and search door to door.

But there was no need for Yan Heng to handle these matters in person. Seeing that there were no people at the city gate, Yan Heng rode his horse to Wu Ming and stretched out his hand.

Wu Ming hesitated for a while, and finally raised his own hand, and held it with Yan Heng's outstretched hand, and was pulled onto the horse's back by him.

"Ma'am!"

Yan Heng sighed, did not say much on the spot, turned his horse's head, and returned to the Sheriff's Mansion under the guard of a group of cavalry.
