C166 The extras are all very professional

He had followed the prince for many years, and had long trained his heart of stone. In his eyes, these so-called refugees were nothing more than ants, and there was no need for him to feel pity for them.

'People are like grass, their lives are thinner than paper '. In the eyes of nobles, the poor only existed to emphasize their noble status. In the eyes of merchants, the poor were only important targets for exploitation. No matter how many of them died, or how many died, no one would pity them. No one would pity them, and no one would pay any attention to them.

Fate, just what was it. Some people might say, 'One's fate is destined', some people might say, 'One's fate is destined to triumph over the heavens', but no one could give an accurate answer. Maybe the whole of a person's life was spent searching for the answer. Some people could find the answer, but some people couldn't find the answer, and they could only 'die with everlasting regret'. However, these people were definitely not one of those poor people. This was because they would only think about one thing in their lifetime, and that was to fill their stomachs.

Unfortunately, even such cheap desires were treated by the powerful officials as a form of trouble and disdain. As for this envoy, he was normally a high existence in the palace, and he treated these victims who could not even eat, as though they were extremely disgusting trash. If it wasn't for the fact that he had no other choice, he probably wouldn't even look at them, even if they would have starved to death right in front of his eyes.

This lord envoy, including his master, was naturally a cold-blooded person.

"I understand your difficulties, but I also have orders to deliver these relief supplies to the city. As for the subsequent releases, they are not my responsibility. Please do me a favor!" Guard Commander said expressionlessly to the refugees. At the very end, he unconsciously pressed down on the hilt of his blade, as if he would pull it out and slash at them at any time.

"Shut up, what are you saying! Humph! Sorry everyone, I'm the person in charge of this convoy, you have all seen the token, we really are the messenger. How about this, I can show you the things in the box, then you will know that we really came to deliver someone for disaster relief. Come, bring a box over here! " The envoy had been paying attention to the conversation between the two sides, and seeing that the Guard Commander wanted to use force, he took the initiative and stepped in to smooth things over, but he could only say that the Guard Commander's side did not have the slightest bit of influence, so he could only let the refugees see the real deal, this would dispel their suspicions.

The envoy looked at the box of silver that his subordinate had brought down and instructed, "Open it!"

"It's the lord!" After the two guards opened the box, they stood in front of the box of silver.

"Oh, it's really silver! So much silver!"

"Yeah, they're really here to help. I'm really saved!"

"..."

These poor commoners had lived for so long, when had they ever seen so much silver. Each one of them curiously moved forward. Although they couldn't take it, they could still see it for themselves. As they watched, they began to discuss it.

"Now, everyone, believe what we said. Our mission is to safely escort this silver back to the city. As for the rest of the payment, it is not my responsibility. I am only responsible for supervising the payment of the silver taels." "Please rest assured, gentlemen. In order to allow you all access to the relief food a step earlier, I ask that you all make way for me." The envoy said with a kind smile.

"We are willing to make way for the lord!" On the contrary, they became extremely obedient. As long as they could eat, no one would want to go against the officials. Not only would they make it difficult for them to escape death, they might even implicate their families and friends.

Therefore, even though they had gathered thousands of victims, they still did not dare to snatch the silver boxes that were used for escorting tens of people. On one hand, they were too close to the Fengyang City. If they attracted the garrison troops inside the city, even if they doubled the number of people, no one would be able to escape safely. On the other hand, even if they succeeded, where would they spend such a large sum of money? At least within the Fengyang City, they definitely could not use this money. They would probably starve to death before they could even buy food.

Everyone stared intently at the boxes of silver being carried down the slope of decimetine through the carriages, slowly crossing the path that the victims had given way to.

The envoy was very happy. To be able to escape from the encirclement of these refugees so effortlessly, allowing him to quickly complete the task given to him by the king, was there anything more joyful than this? Perhaps he could only return to face the Prince's praises and more substantial rewards.

However, very soon, the envoy could no longer laugh, because just as they were about to leave the ranks of the affected people with the wagons, something strange happened.

Suddenly, a loud shout came from among the victims, "That's not right, they are not officials of the imperial court. They are impersonators! On the other side of the badge worn by that guard was the words' Prince's Mansion '. The imperial government wouldn't allow those guards of the mansion to escort them with money for disaster relief. I have been a handyman in the palace, and I have seen this kind of medallion! They are scammers, they are in cahoots with the dog officials. Stop them and don't let them escape! "

One could see what it meant to be a stone that caused a thousand ripples, to see more and more of the victims in the midst of their rampage; to feel extreme joy and sorrow, to see the ashen face of the envoy.

"Front team, quickly break through the encirclement. Back team, stop these damn victims immediately!"

"Sir, there are too many of them!"

"Trash, kill them all! Anyone who dares to stop them will be killed without mercy!" Kill them all! "A bunch of useless bums. If it wasn't for the fact that I have something important to protect them with, I would definitely have killed all of you."

"Ah... "Ah ?" Screams followed one after another. The guards of the mansion all joined in the battle. Anyone who dared to approach the money box would be cut by a blade.

After almost every cut, there would be a victim who would fall to the ground, his blood quickly seeping into his clothes and the ground.

As more and more victims rushed towards the guards, around the guards, there were more dead bodies of the victims. Some of the victims even staggered back out of the crowd after being cut down, as if to make room for the others to attack the guards with their sharp blades. There were even some victims who managed to crawl out of the circle of attack after being struck several times by the blade before falling into a pool of their own blood.

For a moment, the scene was bloody and cruel. Imagine, after the weak refugees were slashed by the guards, the bloodied scene had continuously struck the hearts of everyone present. The spray of blood gave people a sorrowful feeling of desolation.

What was wrong with these victims? All they wanted was to survive, for themselves and for their families. That was all.

But after all, there were only dozens of guards. Under the circumstances of being surrounded, before many people could be cut down, they were surrounded and beaten on the spot by the furious victims.

The emissary also tried his best to resist, but his resistance and scolding were like stones that had fallen into the sea, not a single ripple was produced. He raised his head and looked at Wu Daode and Qian Jincheng who were still in decimetine. Although the two of them had nervous and stunned expressions, in the envoy's eyes, they seemed to be ridiculing and gloating, especially Wu Daode's fat face.

"Wu Daode, I will not forgive you!" After shouting this last sentence, the envoy was also pushed down by the furious refugees, joining the rest of the guards in being ganged up on.

At this time, Wu Daode, who was on the decimetine, was looking down at the enraged crowd below with a face filled with shock, scaring him to the point that his fat was trembling. Suddenly he thought he heard someone call his name from below, but he didn't hear what was behind it. Therefore, Wu Daode asked Qian Jincheng who was beside him with a blank look on his face: "What was that shout he shouted just now?"

"Lord, I didn't hear it clearly either. I think he wants you to go and save him, right?" Qian Jincheng had the same puzzled expression as he answered with a guess.

"Should I go save him? "Then wouldn't I be torn to shreds by the angry victims below?" Wu Daode shook his head like a rattle, expressing his resolution to not obey.

"Sir, let's run then. Right now, those people are thinking about those from the King's Manor. Let's slide down the steep slope and sneak around to the city." Qian Jincheng glanced at the steep slope on the other side of the decimetine, then suggested to Wu Daode.

"Alright, alright. This move is very good. Oh right, where are the people we brought?" Wu Daode thought that he could run, and immediately became spirited, but this man was not completely bad, and was still thinking about the people from the shops he brought.

"They already ran away a long time ago. How could they still dare to stay after such a huge battle?" Qian Jincheng complained and complained to Wu Daode.

"That's true. Then let's run as well!" Wu Daode took the lead and ran towards the slope, while talking to Qian Jincheng.

Thus, Qian Jincheng dragged Wu Daode and slid down the steep slope on the other side of the decimetine. Luckily, the height was just right.

"Ahh ?" The messengers and guards continued to scream. Although the victims were very angry, they still did not dare to fight to the death. They only wanted to vent their anger.

They knew that it had been many days since they had eaten a full meal, and even if they used all of their strength and 'fist to flesh', the damage they could cause to a martial artist would be minimal. At the very most, it would only make them more miserable.

However, the commoners had very direct thoughts. They never knew those twists and turns, and their revenge was straightforward as well. Since they couldn't injure or cripple them, they just had to make them feel uncomfortable.

As a result, almost everyone not only kicked them, but some of the smaller victims even slipped through the gaps between them and kept scratching and tearing at them. The result was quite 'fascinating'.

Maybe it was because of the blessing from the heavens, or maybe it was because of the pity from the heavens. While the envoys and the other guards were feeling despair, suddenly, they heard the thundering sound of a horse's hooves coming from afar.

"Not good, let's go! It's the City Guards! The City Guards have come out! Let's go! Don't forget to bring the corpses of our dead villagers with us!" A loud shout woke up the victims who were struggling to gang up on the members of the Prince's Mansion.

One by one, the victims stopped moving and started to run in a orderly manner in a certain direction. They took away the injured victims who were lying on the ground, covered in blood.

Although the refugees were poor, it did not mean that they were stupid. Although this silver was of unknown origin, if the imperial government deliberately pursued it, they would be held responsible. Moreover, they would not be able to get far.

The most important thing was that there was a person whom the victims trusted. She promised to bring them more food and relief, and as long as they worked together, they would be able to survive the winter. Under such conditions, they had no reason to bring unnecessary trouble to themselves and their fellow villagers in order to take the few dozen taels of silver with them.

Before long, no one could be seen from the decimetine anymore. Other than the dark red bloodstains on the ground, there was only the people from the Palace.

However, their appearances at that moment ?
