PFC Chapter 274 Natural and man-made disasters
Chapter 274 Natural and man-made disasters
These days, you can’t survive just by working hard.
For many people, encountering any kind of natural disaster is a devastating disaster.
And often, natural disasters are followed by man-made disasters!
If natural disasters and man-made calamities occur at the same time, not only ordinary people, but even landlords with a little extra wealth will go bankrupt.
As for the imperial court, not to mention the degree of control the imperial court had over the local areas in this era, it was simply not enough.
Even if the imperial court wanted to intervene, it would not have the capacity.
They can't even take care of themselves, how can they have the ability to save the people?
Lu Tianming and the others vented their anger before continuing to ask:
"Where are the original villagers of Yinjia Village? Where did you put the bodies after you killed them?"
The man was beaten black and blue. He listened to the question and said hurriedly:
"All the bodies are in the ditch north of the village!"
Lu Tianming listened to him with a cold face, then said to Lu Shuhe:
"Shuhe, take the others and keep an eye on these people. I'll go find Village Chief Yang!"
Lu Shuhe nodded in agreement and tied up the two men again.
After these two people told the whole story, they knew that they might have no chance of survival.
Combined with the injuries from the beating, he collapsed to the ground.
Lu Tianming called Master Yan, County Magistrate Yao, Lu Qingqing and others and went out to find Father Yang.
At this time, Yang's father only asked a small part of the questions.
After listening to him, Lu Tianming told him the whole story.
After hearing Lu Tianming say that they massacred the village, everyone in Linshan Village was stunned.
They were not like Lu Tianming and his group. What they usually encountered were just disputes between nearby villages.
As for murder, most people have never encountered it.
The two people in the team today, one dead and one seriously injured, are already extremely serious for them!
Father Yang had never experienced such a scene before, and was at a loss for a moment.
He looked at Lu Tianming and Yao County Magistrate and said:
"Brother Lu, this is too serious. Should we report it to the police? No, we can't report it now!"
As he said this, he denied himself first.
At this time, Pingtong County had fallen, and there was no official to report to him.
Then, he murmured somewhat helplessly:
"What can we do? More than 20 households in Yinjia Village were all killed by these people!"
As he spoke, he looked at the people who were tied up, and in his eyes there was not only hatred but also some fear.
Seeing that he had no idea, Lu Tianming hesitated for a moment before speaking:
"Brother Yang, now that Pingtong County has fallen, we have to decide how to deal with these bandits."
Father Yang nodded and said to the men in the team:
"Fellow villagers, everyone heard what Brother Lu said just now.
Everyone, please share your thoughts on how to deal with this group of thieves."
After hearing what Father Yang said, many people came to their senses.
The entire village was slaughtered. This was the first time they had heard of it in their lives.
After the shock, there will be more anger.
In the Linshan Village team, several young men said angrily:
"What's there to discuss? Just kill this beast!"
"That's right, if we keep this kind of person, he will be a nuisance in the future!"
"I agree. Many people in our village were injured during this trip. We can't let these evildoers go again!"
"That's right. They killed Yonggang from our village. Yonggang's daughter was only two years old, and he didn't leave any offspring."
"..."
Listening to the words of the young people, the older ones felt that their words were a bit radical, but some of what they said was correct.
If they let go of these beasts who dared to massacre the village.
Then my village might be attacked again at any time.
With this in mind, no one in the team objected.
Father Yang gradually made up his mind after listening to everyone's words.
These beasts really cannot be kept.
But he couldn't make this decision himself; it had to be voted on by everyone in the village.
If the imperial court investigates the matter in the future, the villagers will work together to find a way to keep it secret.
Thinking of this, he said to everyone in the village:
"Fellow villagers, everyone now understands the situation.
Everyone, please express your stance towards these beasts who massacred the village."
Father Yang said, pointing to the left side of the yard:
“If you agree to get rid of these beasts, stand on the left.
If anyone disagrees, stand on the right.
Of course, those on the right must also come up with a serious plan and not let this group of people bring harm to our village again."
After saying that, Father Yang took the lead and stood on the left.
Lu Tianming and his group stood behind Yang's father without hesitation.
The young men of Linshan Village all followed and stood on the left.
I saw that there were fewer and fewer people standing in the original place, and there was no one standing on the right.
The rest who were still hesitant because they were afraid of taking responsibility also slowly moved to the left.
In fact, many people in the village did not dare to kill anyone, even if those people were beasts who dared to massacre the village.
But at this time, everyone else had already made their decision and was waiting for them.
If you stand on the right side, you have to find a way to avoid killing them and endangering your own village.
This method really stumped them.
Soon, everyone was standing on the left side.
Everyone looked at each other, and only when they saw that everyone was the same did they breathe a sigh of relief.
Everyone holds the idea that the law does not hold everyone responsible, and they think that if it is really exposed in the future, the idea is not made by one person.
When Father Yang saw that the matter was settled, his expression did not relax.
What they are about to face is killing these people!
Even if the people to be killed are guilty of heinous crimes, the act of killing is still terrifying.
Lu Qingqing looked at the people in Linshan Village who were all frightened, and didn't say much.
In this world, no one can help anyone else all the time.
Only by forcing yourself to grow can you survive!
Father Yang hesitated for a moment before speaking to everyone:
“Following the previously assigned attack yards, each team is responsible for its own yard.
In each courtyard, depending on the number of people, a group of two or three people will be responsible for each thief. "
Father Yang swallowed nervously before continuing:
"Okay, everyone, group up and get ready to do it!"
Seeing this, Lu Tianming added loudly:
"Everyone, after killing someone, be sure to feel their neck to confirm there's no pulse, to avoid any future trouble!"
The crowd, who were already a little nervous, became even more nervous after hearing this.
After Lu Tianming finished speaking, he led his men back to his own yard.
When they attacked, they killed many bandits.
The few survivors left were killed one by one by Li Rui and his men.
They dragged the body into the yard and began to collect the spoils.
There was quite a lot of food in the yard, and together with the quilts, wardrobes and other things, it filled up three carts.
After Lu Tianming and his group finished cleaning up, they went to other courtyards.
At this time, the men in those yards had panicked and lifeless looks on their faces.
When they went to see Yang Yongyan, they called him several times before he responded.
Lu Qingqing expressed her understanding of this, saying that everyone has to go through this process!
