Chéng Nuò - 承諾
After half a month, the rioters who robbed the grain shop reappeared.
A group of rioters gathered in front of one of the shops managed by the shopkeeper Feng. This time, they didn't say anything high-sounding protesting the high prices. Instead, they rushed into the shop and grabbed the food when they saw it.
The originally empty street immediately rushed out of a large group of people after they ran out. All of them were strong and strong, and their muscles looked powerful. They stared at the skinny rioters with fierce expressions, and they were suddenly dumbfounded. They obviously didn't see it earlier... Immediately, someone knew that they were being deceived.
It's not that there is no one, but that they are simply waiting for themselves to fall into the trap.
In the crowd, a small man with a wretched face kept rolling his eyes, as if looking for a way to escape, but he was almost surrounded by water, and the surrounding area was almost impassable. Once there was a gap, someone would immediately block it. In the end, he had to pretend to be a normal rioter, daring not to make any more decisions, so as not to be caught.
After the last grain grabbing incident, they found that the An family did not report to the officials, nor did they take any remedial measures or pursue their actions, which finally came to the relief of some people who were trembling. Perhaps as that person said, the An family did not dare to report to officials, and even if they did, the county magistrate would not accept it.
With this fluke idea in mind, they spent half a month observing to make sure that the An Family really didn't respond, and they chose to carry out looting again, who knew they would be blocked here.
There were rioters who were mostly unarmed. If they really wanted to fight, they would definitely not be the opponent of these thugs. They were all panicking, and they were so nervous that they didn't know how to do it well, but they still took the food from the grain shop with their arms tightly wrapped around the food.
At this moment, a person came out of the grain shop that had just been robbed of food.
His tonnage does not seem to be small, and as soon as he appeared, it immediately attracted the attention of most people, and they all looked at him. When they found out that it was An Ziran, the Eldest Young Master of the An family, some people immediately flashed some disgust and hatred in their eyes.
They are starving and freezing here, but the An family is sitting there eating and drinking spicy food. If An Changfu had not robbed their land by underhand means, they would not have fallen into this field either, and a prisoner might have to go to prison, what about the family that depended on him to support them alive!
An Ziran stood on the steps and looked down at the panicked people below. In fact, he has lost weight in the last half month. It used to be 78 kilograms, but now it has become 73 kilograms. Although he lost ten pounds, the effect is not very obvious, unless someone who often gets along with An Ziran can see it.
"Don't be afraid of them. The An Family is rich and unkind and exploits the peasants. God will punish them sooner or later. We are just doing things for Heaven tall." Someone saw that the rioters had been shaken before they even started, so he quickly shouted loudly. His purpose was to arouse the rebellion of the rioters. If the An Family attacked them, the plan would be half successful.
"That's right, everyone in the An Family has to die. We have to bring down the An family!"
"Let the An Family return the land to us!"
•••••
His words carried a strong sense of incitement, and some of the rioters gradually calmed down from their panic, their eyes gradually became firmer, and a trace of hatred added to the eyes they looked at An Ziran.
Thinking of this, one by one suddenly became eager to move, and the scene became chaotic again. Some people wanted to rush up the steps to pull An Ziran, but they were quickly stopped by the thugs, and immediately started yelling, and the unpleasant words fell like a bean..
Seeing that the rioters were successfully instigated by him, the short man immediately disappeared back into the crowd. He must have known that someone had already noticed him, almost from the beginning, as if he knew that he was a rat in a pot.
An Ziran calmly swept over them one by one, and let them shout, until their throats were almost hoarse, and he said, "According to the laws of Da Ya, your actions have already constituted a crime of robbery. If you want to be sentenced, I am afraid you will spend three to five years in prison, think about your relatives, think about your children and your mother, they are still waiting for you to support, if you go to prison, what will they do?
His voice was very penetrating, and the scene was still noisy, endless like a vegetable market, but everyone heard his words clearly, and gradually, everyone became quiet.
The chaotic people were originally a group of honest and responsible farmers. The reason why they appeared here is because someone said a lot of nice things to them to incite them. They are essentially farmers. Many of them have not read books, but they also know the laws of Da Ya and know that robbery is a very serious crime, so when they hear An Ziran's words, one by one becomes uneasy.
"You know why the An Family didn't report to the official last time Because I don't want your relatives to lose you, I know you are all honest farmers, just for a bite to eat, taking advantage of this, I stand here, today solemnly promise that the An Family will not charge the same high rent as before, and erased all your debts to the An Family." The surroundings became silent.
After An Ziran finished speaking, none of the peasants below said a word.
They were all moved, not for anything else. If there were still family members to support, they would not join the ranks of grabbing food at all. If they were all imprisoned, their families would have to wait to starve to death.
The wretched short man looked confused. He didn't expect An Ziran to change the situation with just a few words. In order to implement the plan smoothly, he had to stand up again, "Don't be deceived by his words, think about it, the An family has been through these years. Haven't done enough bad things? We all know what kind of person the Eldest Young Master of the An Family is. His words were completely unbelievable. He and An Changfu are the same raccoon dog!"
"An Changfu has exploited us for so long, you are his son, what you said is not credible at all!"
"That's right, how could the An Family not need land rent, and clearing our debt, he must be lying to us!"
"I once went to beg An Changfu, but he asked his servant to kick me out, Father and his son are in the same blood, An Changfu is not a good person, and he is not a good person either"
•••••
The short man smiled proudly, but he didn't expectt, just raised his head, he met An Ziran's black eyes. He shuddered, and lowered his head subconsciously, not daring to look at him again.
An Ziran slowly retracted his gaze, "You may not believe it, but I will tell you with practical actions. In the morning in three days, here, the An Family will return the IOU to you."
Without waiting for their response, An Ziran handed the rest to the shopkeeper Feng.
