Fleeing from famine! A rough hunter has a fox husband

Chapter 308: Crashing the City Gate

The soldier next to Li Zhu shouted loudly, and the others followed suit.

"Yes, we should be able to eat our fill, but these past few days we've only been eating rice water with not even a few grains of rice in it. How can we tolerate this?"

Li Zhu continued to speak loudly, and the people below became even angrier.

"I can't stand it. That was originally our food."

"You are right. That was the disaster relief grain that His Majesty sent to us. That corrupt official embezzled it. We must rush in and take the grain back!"

Every time he said something, the people below followed suit and shouted.

"Charge in! Enter the city! Bring back all our food!"

"Give us back our food!!"

"You dog officer, give us back all the food!!"

They followed Li Zhu and shouted, asking the officials in the city to take out all the food.

However, they had been shouting here for almost an hour, but there was still no movement from the people inside.

When Hongqi and the others woke up, they hurried to the city gate.

Tong Yun also arrived here. Several of them came to the city wall and looked at the people below, feeling very angry.

"These untouchables deserve to die."

Originally, it was possible for them to take out some food to appease these people, but now it was no longer possible because their granaries had been emptied.

Not to mention distributing food to these people, they haven't even had a bite of food themselves.

Hong Qi looked at Shen Nuo and the two tall men beside him with a sinister look:

"If they dare to break in, they will be killed without mercy."

Tong Yun also gnashed his teeth in hatred.

They were in no mood to play with beauties anymore. They were only thinking about how to kill all the people outside.

He looked at Hong Qi, his expression so ugly that ink could drip out of it:

"Who on earth has the ability to empty both of our mansions? I really can't figure it out."

"You can't figure it out. I am also puzzled. Everything in the secret room of my study is gone, including those things..."

He spoke quietly and obscurely, but Tong Yun understood.

Those were the letters they exchanged with people from Japan, and even a list of contacts between Liang and Japan, and that person...

Tong Yun's back was instantly covered in sweat, and his speech became a little stammering:

"This, this can't be someone from the imperial court, right? But if there is such a powerful person in the imperial court, why didn't they just arrest us and just steal the things?"

After a pause, he found it unbelievable again:

"Everything in our two mansions disappeared overnight. It was directly gone. How many people would it take to move everything away? But no one in the city saw it."

As Tong Yun said this, his voice was hoarse and almost breaking. He looked disheveled and his tone was filled with fear.

He was indeed scared. He had done so many bad things over the years and killed countless people. Now that such an unbelievable thing had happened, he was more scared than anyone else.

Since Hongqi was in cahoots with him, it was natural that they would think alike.

The stone lions weighing five or six hundred kilograms at the door alone could not be taken away by one or two people, not to mention that it was not just the stone lions that disappeared.

"Let's solve the problem at hand first. With these 20,000 soldiers in our hands, can't we suppress those helpless refugees in front of us?"

Hong Qi looked at the people below. Except for the several hundred men standing in the front, the rest were all people who were almost skinny, including many old, weak, women and children.

It was obvious that these people had been starving for a long time. There was no way they could be a match for the officers and soldiers, not to mention that these officers and soldiers had weapons in their hands.

The two stood on the city wall and looked at the people below, not knowing that they had already been targeted by Song Zhen and Qin Yan.

"Later, don't beat anyone to death."

Song Zhen reminded Qin Yan that he was really afraid that Qin Yan would beat the two men to death directly because they still had something to ask.

He had to find out when they contacted Japan, as this was very important to Liang State.

Qin Yan was not a fool, so he naturally understood this. He nodded:

"rest assured."

The time was almost up, and more and more people gathered at the city gate. Song Zhen nodded to Li Zhu and the others.

Li Zhu understood, pointed at the top of the tower and said loudly:

"Look, those two dog officials are watching us. They would rather watch us die outside than give us the food."

"Let's charge in and open the city gate. Then we can take back the food and have enough to eat!"

"rush!!"

"Open the city gate!!"

"Come in!!"

The people at the city gate became more and more excited, as if they could see the food waving at them.

They had been hungry for so long that they wanted to just gnaw on their own flesh, but they couldn't. They didn't want to die. They wanted to stay alive and rush in to take back all the food.

"Rush!!!"

Li Zhu rushed towards the city gate without hesitation.

At the same time, the soldiers in plain clothes followed closely behind him, with brisk steps and well-trained steps.

Some of the soldiers carried extremely thick pillars on their shoulders. Obviously, these were tools prepared in advance and were specifically used to break through the sturdy city gate.

They worked together and slammed the heavy city gate again and again, making a deafening noise.

Every impact seemed to make the earth tremble, but the city gate remained as solid as a rock, not moving at all.

However, the soldiers were not discouraged, they continued to do their best with only one belief in their hearts - to break through the city gate!

The people joined in, shouting slogans and banging on the doors. Even though they were so hungry that they had little strength left, they never thought of giving up.

"They are simply a bunch of untouchables. Tell everyone under you to get ready. Once the city gates are opened, kill them all. Don't let any of them go."

Hongqi gave orders to the master, who immediately went down from the city wall to convey his words.

These people are all in the same gang. They are used to bullying the common people. When they know that there are refugees trying to break in, their eyes are full of vicious ridicule.

Refugees should act like refugees. If you break in and try to steal their food, it depends on whether they agree or not.

After dealing with all these people, they can go back and have a good meal.

Maybe you can even get the appreciation of the city lord and the prefect, and you will be able to eat and drink delicious food.

Looking at the city gate, they all raised their knives and rubbed their hands, as if they wanted to see who could kill more people so that they could get the city lord's appreciation.

Outside the city gate, people were still banging on it.

Just when some of the victims were exhausted, the sound of uniform footsteps suddenly came from the woods behind them.

The people behind him turned around in horror, only to see that the densely packed crowd were all soldiers wearing heavy armor and helmets!

They were armed with sharp weapons and exuded a terrifying aura.
