Chapter 379 Encountering the People
As if he was afraid that someone would suddenly run out.
After seeing Chen Wanruo and the others, he was so scared that he ran away.
Seeing this, Tu Eryong stepped forward and grabbed them without saying a word.
"Why did you run away when you saw us?" Chen Wanruo stepped forward and couldn't help asking.
Hearing this, the villagers immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Then he swallowed and whispered, "I don't know who you are either. If I don't leave, what if you are the barbarians again? What should I do then?"
"So you're not afraid now?" Chen Wanming couldn't help but ask.
"I am not afraid now, because the accent you speak is the same as the accent of our Great Jin Dynasty."
When saying this, the villagers looked obviously relieved.
Seeing this, Chen Wanruo really didn't know whether to cry or laugh.
"Have you been harassed by the barbarians and Tartars frequently during this period?" Murong Chen asked from the side.
"That's not the case. It's just that before you called, we seemed to have gotten used to this kind of life. We were scared after all."
The man spoke the latter sentence in a particularly low voice.
But even so, Chen Wanruo and the others understood it.
"Who is in charge of your village now?"
"Who's in charge? Who else can be in charge? No one cares about anyone else. We don't have any other wishes now. We just hope to be able to take the porridge home safely every day."
As soon as he finished speaking, the villager realized that he seemed to have said the wrong thing.
You know, the reason why they have porridge now is entirely because the army is stationed here.
Once the army leaves, they might starve to death.
In their eyes, those soldiers were just going out to fight.
Win, that's all.
As for these villagers, they were not even considered at all.
The only reason they could have a mouthful of porridge to drink now was entirely because of General Chen's order.
If she weren't there, no one would care whether they existed or not.
Chen Wanruo, who was standing by, seemed to see through his thoughts. Seeing his expression, she subconsciously narrowed her eyes.
Then he asked, "Don't you have any land here? Or do you plan to live like this for the rest of your life?"
After saying this, Chen Wanruo seemed to remember something and continued:
"No, if you continue like this, you will not have a lifetime left. No matter who it is, it is impossible for them to feed you porridge forever. In the end, you still have to rely on yourself."
After saying this, Chen Wanruo didn't look at the villagers again.
He walked straight towards the government office nearby.
For matters like this, it would be of little use to ask the village chief for help.
Because the village chief himself might be living in fear, the only place he can go is the government office.
Seeing Chen Wanruo walking straight forward, Murong Chen probably knew what she was going to do.
In fact, even if she didn't go to find him, he would still go to find him.
To solve this problem, we must first find the core of the problem.
In his opinion, the core of the problem lies in the government.
But when they stood at the gate of the yamen, they were dumbfounded.
Is this the government office?
Not only was the floor and walls covered with moss, but there wasn't a single person in the entire yamen.
Seeing this, Chen Wanruo's heart sank.
This is because she encountered Dong'an Town. If she hadn't encountered it, what would it matter whether the town was taken back or not?
Who cares about the lives of the people in this city?
How many people like this were there in the entire Jin Dynasty?
"Let's go in and take a look!" Murong Chen said softly.
"Well, let's go!"
As they approached, they could slowly hear some sounds from inside.
"Who are you? Why are you here?" Before they could get close, an old voice came from behind them.
When I looked back, I saw that it was a woman in her fifties.
Looking at the woman's dress, it can't be called glamorous and beautiful, but it is also unique in Dong'an Town.
"Who are you?" Chen Wanruo asked back.
In her opinion, the people who could appear here should all be from the government.
Because this is the front yard.
Even for the county magistrate's family, the place where they can move around should be the backyard.
Looking at the question the woman asked just now, she acted like the host, as if this was her home.
Chen Wanruo felt very uncomfortable when she heard these words.
"Who am I? Is this the right question for you to ask?" The old woman asked Chen Wanruo arrogantly.
Hearing this, Chen Wanruo, who originally didn't intend to waste any more time on such things, immediately turned around and walked straight towards the old woman.
Looking at Chen Wanruo walking towards her, the old woman subconsciously stepped back.
Not for anything else, just because of the aura of Chen Wanruo.
It's really not something that everyone can bear.
"Do you know who you are talking to?" After a long time, Chen Wanruo asked with narrowed eyes.
"Hey, which bitch are you? Do you know who I am?" The woman said to Chen Wanruo in an extremely arrogant manner.
When he said this, he looked at Chen Wanruo with disdain.
Seeing this, Chen Wanruo stopped talking nonsense with her and just nodded towards Tu Eryong who was standing beside her.
Tu Eryong understood and grabbed the woman without saying a word.
Then he said, "How dare you offend our General Chen!"
"General Chen? What General Chen? I tell you, I don't care whether you are General Chen or not. In this government office, that is..."
Having said this, the old woman suddenly stopped again.
He just stared at Chen Wanruo with his eyes wide open, full of disbelief.
"General Chen? Are you saying that she is General Chen?"
After she said this, the woman realized that two of them were still wearing armor.
It's obvious that he came from a military camp.
And the temperament of this woman...
Thinking of this, the old woman knelt down in front of Chen Wanruo without even thinking about it.
"General Chen, please spare me. I didn't recognize the real man just now. It's my fault. It's my fault..."
After saying that, he looked like he was about to kneel down in front of Chen Wanruo.
Seeing this, Chen Wanruo quickly said to Tu Eryong who was standing beside her: "Tie her up."
Not to mention whether she knew she was wrong.
Just looking at her current appearance, Chen Wanruo really felt disgusted when she saw her.
"Yes, General Chen!" Tu Eryong said respectfully.
After the old woman was tied up tightly, Chen Wanruo finally asked, "Where is the county magistrate?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a powerful voice came from inside.
"Who is looking for me?"
Along with the voice came a pot-bellied man, about fifty years old.
There is no doubt that this man is the county magistrate.
