Text Chapter 1123: If You Can’t Eat Enough, You Will Rebel

Twenty miles outside the city, not far away, Lin Muyu carried Wei Chou and flew there through the wind and snow.

Before dawn, the north wind howled and blew, as cold as a knife.

On the official road from Lanyan City to Cangnan Province, a group of cavalry from the imperial army was already there, and Feng Jixing came earlier, after all, his camp of the imperial army was closer to here, and he lived alone, so he had nothing to worry about.

The torches were blown wildly by the wind, and a convoy was parked on the side of the road, and the war supplies were shipped in clumsy steam cars.

Lin Muyu volleyed to the ground, and a group of soldiers around saluted: "See Commander Lin!"

"Brother Feng, what's going on?" Lin Muyu asked.

Feng Jixing blocked the wind and snow with his hands, turned around and pointed to the official road, and said: "Someone deliberately blocked the official road with stones, three carts overturned, and more than a dozen of the accompanying cavalry were also killed. Temporarily confirmed, It was the hungry refugees nearby who gathered to loot the army food, and Zhang Wei has already led the guards to capture the perpetrators."

On the side, Guan Xing respectfully said: "It's freezing cold, and people who have no food left will indeed gather together and turn into rioters under the pressure of hunger. I hope Commander Lin will not start killing people. After all, they are all human lives..."

"I know, but even if you are hungry, you can't plunder the empire's military rations, which are used to protect the country." Lin Muyu frowned and said, "I don't need to use the death penalty, but the imperial constitution is waiting for them , how to punish should be handed over to the Congress. Brother Feng, where did Zhang Wei take people to arrest them?"

"It's just five miles away in a village, do you want to go too?"

"Well, go and have a look."

Lin Muyu looked at the supplies and vehicles stationed in the wind and snow with stern eyes, and said: "Wei Qiu, you stay here, take people to remove the boulders, keep the roads open, the food roads must be unimpeded, otherwise everyone can only fight hungry gone."

"Yes, handsome Lin!"

Lin Muyu took the reins from a soldier of the Gendan Battalion, turned over and rode on this unknown war horse, and then He Feng Jixing led dozens of cavalry away from the official road and galloped into the forest path. No one cleaned it for a long time, and the snow was about half a meter deep, which greatly affected the speed of the horses.

When a small village appeared in the field of vision, it was already dawn, but the sun could not be seen, because although the snow had become smaller, it still hadn't stopped.

Walking slowly along the small road in the village, Lin Muyu looked at the houses on both sides, most of them were thatched huts, the roofs were almost collapsed by the heavy snow, and there were many frozen to death on the side of the road. bones, and you can faintly see horseshoe prints on the snow, which should be the traces left by Zhang Wei and others.

In the center of the village, Zhang Wei was found. With a steel knife in his hand, the deputy commander of the forbidden army had ordered nearly fifty civilians to be tied up and tied to a rope.

"See Shuai Lin, see Commander Feng!" Zhang Wei got off his horse and saluted.

"Don't be too polite." Lin Muyu raised his hand and said, "Lao Zhang, get up, how is the situation?"

"Report to Marshal Lin, basically all of them have been caught, and they confessed. Among them, the village chief took the lead in killing people, and the cavalry captain we were in charge of transporting was stabbed to death by him with a fork turning grass."

"snort……"

Lin Muyu dismounted and walked in front of the 40-year-old village head, but he saw his eyes staring at her, not awe, but hatred.

"It's fine if you rob food and grass, why do you have to kill people?" Lin Muyu asked.

The village chief's eyes were cold: "If they don't kill them, they will kill us."

"Even so, do you think what you are doing is really right?"

"In order to survive, there is nothing wrong with it. Anyway, it is death, so it is better to give it a go." The village chief's eyes flashed fiercely, and said: "It seems that your official is very big, who are you?"

"Lin Muyu."

"Ah...it's Marshal Lin, it's Marshal Lin Muyu..." A group of villagers with their hands bound showed shock.

But the village chief's expression was still very ferocious. He sneered and said, "Marshal of the Empire? In my opinion, he is just a guard dog."

"Presumptuous!" Zhang Wei raised his steel knife horizontally and said, "You don't want to live anymore?"

Lin Muyu raised his hand: "Don't do anything, let him finish."

The village head sneered and said, "It has been snowing for more than a month, how many people in Lingbei Province have starved to death, but how many of you officials have opened warehouses to release food? Look, the people in the car The food is enough to save many people, but you, you use the food to fight, you would rather starve to death than save the people of the empire, but take the food to fight, Lin Muyu, what else do you know other than fighting?"

Lin Muyu frowned and did not refute.

Feng Jixing raised his eyebrows and said: "So, this is the reason why you rob food and kill people?"

The village head laughed loudly: "That's right, that's my reason, our emperor, our empress would rather go to war with these grains than care about the lives of the people, is such an empress worthy of the allegiance of the people in the world? "

Lin Muyu said lightly: "Just scold me, don't blaspheme Your Highness, otherwise no one will be able to save you. Many days ago, Your Highness has issued a holy edict ordering the governments of various states and counties to distribute food to the people. This holy edict I saw it with my own eyes, why don't you go to the county government to ask for help?"

"help?"

The village chief laughed and said, "Those officials only know how to enjoy themselves. Who will really help ordinary people like us? Besides, how much food can the local officials save? How can they save so many people? But if you Stop fighting and give food to the people to survive this winter, this will save the people of the world, this is what a wise king does."

Feng Jixing's eyes were stern, and he held the handle of the Scarlet Phoenix Saber, wishing he could chop off the person in front of him with one blow.

But Lin Muyu was still patient, and said: "Do you think this severe winter will only last for three months? Do you think they won't attack us if we don't go to war with the Shang Kingdom? In the past few years, you have all forgotten? Our opponents are wolves, and I must feed the soldiers to meet the strong enemy."

"I don't listen to these great principles!" The village chief scolded impatiently: "I only know that if I don't have enough to eat, I want to rebel. What you do is just prestige and status. What you want is the world and the country. , don’t care about the life and death of us common people at all, don’t pretend, kill or cut, it’s up to you!”

"Clang!"

Lin Muyu stopped talking, Xuanyuan Sword was already in his hand, and the icy-cold sword edge was pressed straight against the opponent's neck. The chill from the sword edge had already made the village chief's neck stiff, and a sense of boundless fear spread instantly. all over his body.

"you you……"

"Do you really think that I dare not kill you?" Lin Muyu said in an extremely calm voice, "Yes, with my strength and status, I can indeed regard you as an ant in my eyes, but I don't, I am willing to let go Why are you so aggressive when you have a dialogue with the same attitude as you? You keep talking about the common people, but what you are talking about is just your own selfish desires. You cannot represent the common people in the world, you can only represent yourself. Your crimes will be judged by the imperial constitution, and I am just a law enforcer, I will not overstep the constitution, and you cannot override the constitution."

After finishing speaking, Lin Muyu seemed a little tired, put the long sword back into its sheath, and said, "Zhang Wei, take them to Huoque Division, and hand them over to the Congress for disposal after detailed inquiries."

"Yes, handsome Lin!"

Feng Ji stepped forward, lightly patted Lin Muyu's shoulder, and said, "Ah Yu, don't be angry with yourself."

"I don't."

Lin Muyu looked at the footprints in the snow with a pair of clear eyes, and said: "Over the years, how many times I have been misunderstood, I have long been used to it, and what he said makes sense, war is indeed based on trampling on human nature and equality of."

At this moment, the village head whose hands were bound suddenly stopped, turned around and said loudly: "Lin Muyu! Do you really want to fight? Do you know how many people will die? If you insist on going your own way, then you You are just an executioner, a murderer, you are not a famous general, nor are you an immortal hero, you are just an executioner!"

Lin Muyu's eyes turned red, and he said lightly, "Don't worry about this, history and posterity will naturally judge what kind of person I am, Zhang Wei, take them away, immediately."

"Yes, handsome Lin!"

Zhang Wei rode his horse and galloped, dragging the village head all the way.

Feng Jixing pressed the handle of the knife, "huh" blew the snow on the eyelashes, and said, "Ah Yu, do you want to... get rid of this fly on the way?"

"No."

Lin Muyu nodded and smiled: "Brother Feng, your bureaucratic style is a bit serious!"

"is it serious?"

Feng Jixing grinned and said: "I am the commander of the imperial army, commanding a hundred thousand soldiers, and the deputy commander of the empire. I hold the military and political power in my hand. Shouldn't people live with joy and hatred? Those who follow me will prosper and those who oppose me will perish. Like the kid just now, he has already died 100 million times in other novels."

Lin Muyu had a disgusted expression: "We agreed to establish the Congress, and we established the order on our own initiative. You should abide by the rules you make yourself, otherwise you will really become a big villain. As for what this person said, I don't agree with it at all. Care, there are so many things he doesn't know, that's why he talks like this."

"Oh? How to say?"

"For example, unifying the Broken Cauldron Realm and the Tianji Continent, allowing the two continents to enter into peaceful rule, this kind of thing is impossible for him, so he doesn't want others to do it, some things must be done by someone, and he just wants to do it. Jealousy and hatred are left, this is the mentality of a villain, why should I care about him like him."

Feng Jixing couldn't help laughing: "Ayu, your state of mind is really not comparable to that of ordinary people. Look at your radiant face, isn't it... last night, hehehe..."

"Fuck, what do you mean by hey hey?"

"You understand!"

"Stop messing with you, let's go, go back to the imperial capital, and continue to urge the states and counties to release grain for disaster relief. I don't believe that the masters really don't care about the lives of the people and continue to hoard grain."

"Well, it is indeed necessary to send special envoys to various places." For mobile phone users, please visit http://m.piaotian.net
