Chapter 265
Changhe dungeon world.

Wan County.

An old and weak women and children and hundreds of young and strong stood together in twos and threes looking forward eagerly.

The iron pot that had already been set up was filled with boiling hot water, but the porridge maker who should have been here long ago disappeared.

Such a strange scene has lasted for half a day.

The expressions of incomprehension, anxiety, and confusion intertwined with each other, turning into a dark cloud that enveloped the hearts of tens of thousands of people.

A thought came to mind, followed by silence.

"Cough cough..."

The sound interrupted the depressing atmosphere, and an old man tremblingly looked at the row of iron pots and the burning flames below.

"Father, do we still need to add wood?" A young man asked.

The old man gritted his teeth fiercely: "Add, add wood, don't let this fire go out"

"But" Qing Zhuang seemed hesitant to speak.

The woman standing next to Qing Zhuang moved her lips and couldn't help complaining: "What if you add wood? It's not a waste in the end."

"Two hours have passed since the county government agreed with us to distribute the food. I think the food is in danger," the people around couldn't help but say.

The old man became silent. What happened during this period had already made them startled.

Therefore, they couldn't help thinking about the abnormal behavior in the county today.

"Father, are you talking about the county magistrate sneaking away with food?" Qing Zhuang couldn't help asking.

The eyes of the people around looked over at the same time, their eyes full of worry.

The old man stomped the crutch in his hand on the ground: "Impossible"

"Keep your hearts in your stomachs, the county magistrate is an official of the imperial court, and the world is chaotic, but Lujiang has its own laws," the old man said hoarsely.

But the more this happened, the more guilty he seemed. After all, it was an indisputable fact that the food was delayed.

Several children shrank their necks in fright and looked at each other.

"Grandpa, grandpa"

"I'm hungry, when can I have porridge?"

A child looked at the old man pitifully, with a look of expectation in his eyes.

The old man's heart couldn't help but soften, and his tone slowed down: "Hurry up, hurry up..."

"Father, will the county government really send food if this continues?" the young man asked.

The old man looked over and asked worriedly: "Aside from waiting, what else can we do?"

"The food is all in the treasury. If the county magistrate runs away with the defenders, I don't believe they can evacuate the food in such a short period of time. If we..." Qing Zhuang said with a murderous light in his eyes .

People have lived to this level, so there is nothing to be afraid of.

"It's a felony to break into the treasury presumptuously." Before the young man could finish speaking, the old man forcibly interrupted him.

There was a look of displeasure in the young and strong eyes, and then his face sank: "Father"

"No matter what you say, you are not allowed to break into the treasury." The old man accentuated his tone, and his tone was particularly severe.

The sound of hurried footsteps came, and a man stretched his neck and shouted: "It's not good, the county guards are empty."

The voice rang in the ears, and everyone seemed to hear a thunder, and they were stunned for a moment.

Everyone rushed over in a hurry, showing anxious faces.

The man who came to report the letter swallowed, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said loudly.

"County towns and county guards are empty"

"The county magistrate has disappeared"

"The county magistrate doesn't even know where he went"

Everyone was in an uproar, followed by discussions.

"Could it be that the magistrate Tangtang dispatched food from Chaohu Lake in name, but actually transported our food away?"

"Everyone, it's going to be winter soon, so it's fine if the food is not distributed for a long time. Now that the porridge we agreed to is gone, are we really going to sit and wait for death?"

Sparse voices sounded, and then these voices joined together.

As the soldiers stationed in Wanxian County disappeared, everyone's hearts gradually grew bigger.

The anger was ignited, and a young man took a step forward one after another.

"The county honored his promises and promised to give free porridge before the food was distributed."

"Now there is no trace"

"From this point of view, food must be more or less fortunate"

"What's the difference between this kind of behavior and that of Chen Ce?"

As the sound fell, the crowd glared at the direction of the county government.

An old man walked out tremblingly, and then several older elders came out.

"Half a day, a full half day, where did they go during this half day?"

"The county magistrate is nowhere to be seen, the county magistrate is nowhere to be seen, and neither are the generals and thousands of soldiers guarding the city."

"Weird and Weird"

The sound of conversation sounded, and everyone gritted their teeth.

A young man said loudly: "What's so strange about this?"

"It must be because they saw too much food and became malicious. After all, in this world, how many people are willing to give us back the food for nothing?" said Qing Zhuang.

People around nodded their heads, and then their hearts sank.

The old man in charge shook his head: "After all, he is an official of the imperial court. Although the world is chaotic, Lujiang has its own laws and cannot allow the county magistrate to do anything wrong."

"Bah" a young man spat hard.

As if thinking of something, the anger in my heart became even stronger.

"Fadu?"

"What are the rules these days?"

"Sometimes soldiers are better than robbers"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone's emotions were instantly aroused.

"If the county magistrate didn't remove the grain, then the grain should still be in the treasury," said Qing Zhuang.

He gritted his teeth fiercely: "Do you have the guts to follow me?"

"Don't be reckless," several old men shouted violently.

The leader of the old man said, with a look of worry in his eyes: "It is a felony to break into the treasury without permission."

"It's all come to this stage, what's not to blame?" That Qing Zhuang looked like he was going all out.

Originally, it was a great thing for the county magistrate to grab back the grain, but I didn't expect the county magistrate to actually put the grain in the treasury, which completely angered tens of thousands of people.

It was only because thousands of Changhe town officers and soldiers were stationed in the city that they were afraid of the court's laws that it did not break out.

In addition, the gruel was distributed for free, and the county magistrate promised that he was working on the matter of returning the food, so it seemed calm.

However, today's weird situation broke the tacit understanding between the two.

Facing an empty county town, the laws that did not have much deterrent effect collapsed in an instant.

Order is also disappearing at an incredible speed.

"Instead of being starved to death, it's better to go to the treasury to see what's going on," said Qing Zhuang loudly.

Then he raised his voice: "Follow me if you have the guts"

"I go"

"I go"

"I'll go as well"

Seeing someone taking the lead, everyone shouted at the top of their voices.

Tens of thousands of people rushed towards the treasury like a tide.

Several old men looked at each other, and could only run forward under the pressure of the crowd.
