Chapter 133: Early Development Encountered Disturbance

Jiangcheng was now like a high-speed machine, and everyone was basically busy without touching the ground.

Luo Feng took people to the place where the corpses were piled up. The sky-high stench made this group of green forest heroes who usually wouldn't blink when injured frown tightly.

"Squad leader, this is too disgusting."

"Ugh! No wonder... ugh... the big boss wants us to come... ugh... to clean up."

Luo Feng disgustedly moved away from the brothers beside him, "If you've vomited, stop talking. After vomiting, hurry up and put this cloth on."

Looking around, seeing that the brothers were all wearing this so-called "mask" that the big boss mentioned, Luo Feng felt relieved.

According to the big boss, piling up so many corpses was easy to cause epidemics, so protective measures must be done well.

The refugees looked at all this curiously, not knowing what this group of bandits was going to do.

Until Luo Feng and others brought firewood, they understood that this was to burn corpses!

"Wait a minute, my father is still inside! You can't burn it."

A voice appeared in the crowd of refugees, just like lighting a powder keg, and the condemnation immediately rose one after another.

"That's right, we dig pits to bury people and you don't allow it, you put it here and you want to burn it, we absolutely don't allow it."

"My child has been dead for a long time, and has never been buried in the earth. Now you still want to use fire to burn him, you group of beasts."

"Get out! If you dare to move my family, I will fight you today."

Luo Feng's eyes turned cold, and he turned to look at this group of refugees.

"Who was the one who said they wanted to fight me just now? Stand out!"

The crowd was silent for a moment, and many people looked at Luo Feng with some evasion.

Luo Feng had experienced many battles, and the number of lives in his hands would not be lower than twenty. Invisibly, that murderous aura leaked out, deterring quite a few people.

"I'll ask again, whoever has an opinion, stand out, and I'll burn you together."

Luo Feng wouldn't spoil them. As long as it was the task given by the big boss, he would firmly complete it. Whoever hindered it would die.

"What are you afraid of? There are so many of us, can he kill us all?"

Just then, a voice sounded in the crowd. Even though he mixed into the crowd immediately after saying this, Luo Feng still accurately found the other party.

Drawing the big knife from the waist of the brother beside him, Luo Feng walked toward the other party with a clear goal.

Where Luo Feng passed, the crowd scattered like rats seeing a cat, fearing that they would touch the bad luck of this person.

Finally, Luo Feng stopped in front of a man, the knife tip pointing directly at the other party's face.

"I'll give you a chance to say your last words."

The man's face was ugly. Seeing that no one helped him, he could only harden his neck and say loudly: "Did I say wrong? Inside are our relatives and friends, why let you burn them?"

"Finished?" As soon as Luo Feng's voice fell, the big knife in his hand accurately crossed the man's neck.

The man widened his eyes, and the words stuck in his throat never had a chance to be spoken, and he fell to the ground slowly like this.

Luo Feng bent down, grabbed the man's feet, and dragged his corpse to the firewood.

"Burn!"

This time, no one among the refugees dared to speak again, all looking at Luo Feng in fear, fearing that the other party would go berserk and kill them all.

It wasn't that Luo Feng was cruel, but that he had personally experienced such things.

At the beginning, Luo Jin was dying, and he also wanted his sister to be buried in the earth, but because the land around the city was basically private farmland, burial was not allowed.

He carried his sister and left, wanting to find a good place to bury his sister, and it was precisely because of this that he could meet Jiang Jinshi and change the lives of the two siblings.

The person who truly loves you, how could they let your remains be piled up with others, watching you become the foundation of that mountain of corpses.

Now that these refugees opened their mouths, it was just wanting to knock Luo Feng for a sum.

On this side, Luo Feng had just dealt with this matter, and on the other side, Zhang Honghong and Tang Lin fell into trouble again.

"Is this grain really sold to us at this price?"

"Can you sell more? My appetite is big and I eat a lot."

"Can't this household contract be collected on behalf? My parents have inconvenient legs and feet."

Zhang Honghong couldn't help shouting at the crowd: "There are notices posted over there, go see for yourself, line up to register and collect the household contract, don't cut in line."

"My waist is not good and I shouldn't stand for a long time, can I register first?"

"Can I buy grain first and then come back?"

That was Tang Lin who couldn't speak, otherwise he would have followed Zhang Honghong and cursed.

Zhang Honghong was so angry in her heart! These people were like they couldn't understand words, and they didn't line up properly. Where did so many problems come from?

She couldn't take action against them either. This group of people only thought about the cheap grain, and other words couldn't be heard at all.

Otherwise, having more people to help would greatly increase efficiency; fortunately, although the current efficiency is moving, there is progress nonetheless.

Nie Fengyun and Wang Hou blocked the city gate and announced to the refugees that there would be no more porridge distribution, but those who came to Yangguangzhai to work would be provided with meals; those who wanted to eat should come.

The result was an undoubtedly cold reception; the number of people who chose to work in exchange for food was very few.

A portion of the people were already accustomed to being lazy, getting food every day without doing anything, so why should they bother to work!

In the eyes of this group, as long as no one was willing to do this so-called work, then the porridge distribution would have to continue.

Consequently, this group mingled among the crowd, constantly spreading such remarks to keep everyone from going to work.

There was another group watching from the sidelines, their hearts wavering; they were already not full every day, relying entirely on that small bowl of thin porridge to stay alive, so if even this bowl of thin porridge were gone now, wouldn't that be the end of everyone?

But even if they went to work, whether they could get enough to eat was still an unknown!

Wang Hou was not in a hurry; he specifically noted down those who chose to work in exchange for food, so that they would be given priority for any good things in the future.

The others continued to patrol and stand guard with their brothers, while Jiang Ze was arranged by Jiang Jinshi to go and crack down on the shady trades in the city.

Jiang Jinshi himself was also quite busy; there were many people locked up in the Jiangcheng jail, including those who had been wronged and those who had truly committed crimes and were caught, and he held the case files recorded by the County Magistrate to review them one by one.

There were over a hundred people locked in the jail, and Jiang Jinshi could not let them stay there forever; those who were wronged should be released, which would also save him from wasting his own food.

It could be said that everyone was busy, but it was somewhat chaotic, unable to proceed in an orderly manner.

Not to mention the mountain bandits, even Jiang Jinshi had no experience in this area; managing a city required considering everything, big and small, thoroughly.

That it could currently progress slowly without any chaos was entirely due to the strict discipline of Yangguangzhai on ordinary days.

Jiang Jinshi grabbed his sideburns in a mess, feeling somewhat irritable and helpless; could someone with experience come to help him share the burden?

Eh?! There actually was someone; wasn't this person locked up in the dungeon of Yangguangzhai?
