As an official, what's wrong with raising a few monsters?

Chapter 94: You Can Never Defeat the People
Don’t blame me!
This guy is rarely serious, and in the blink of an eye he becomes casual and frivolous again.

Xiao Xinyue rolled her eyes at the playboy.

Is there any normal person who has nothing to do but ask such a question?
This guy is a rebel. He has some plans in his mind. He is not a virtuous and loyal minister!
A small layer of mystery was removed, and she now understood this person a little better.

But...even so, she didn't want to distance herself from him.

On the contrary, she wanted to get closer to him.

There are moon and stars tonight. The full moon hangs high in the sky, and the stars are twinkling.

Mingchen seemed to have thought of something, and turned to Xiao Xinyue and asked, "Since this city and this county magistrate have displeased Your Highness, do you have any solution?"

Xiao Xinyue was stunned. The terrible appearance of the city made her heartbroken, and the ugly face of the magistrate made her sick.

But how to solve it?
She thought for a moment and asked, "Kill?"

She swore that she really wanted to chop off the county magistrate's head.

This princess is decisive and straightforward.

Mingchen shook his head and said, "Your Highness, there are too many people watching. If the blood of the murderer splashes on us, our clothes will be dirty."

Xiao Xinyue: ...

She finally realized that this guy was a self-centered, selfish and cold-hearted person.

“Everything has a threshold.”

Mingchen looked at the empty-eyed civilians wandering the streets and said, "The law does not punish the masses. Your Highness, do you know how the Blood-Cloaked Army came to power?"

"Ok?"

Xiao Xinyue frowned when she heard that.

Blood-coated army?

Why bring this up?
Could it be that this person... is from the Blood-Cloaked Army?

Her thoughts wandered elsewhere.

Mingchen didn't know what the princess was thinking. He just walked up to a few people and said a few words.

Xiao Xinyue followed him, and when she heard what Mingchen said, her brows furrowed even deeper.

……

The next day, the sun shines brightly.

The envoys were well taken care of by Dong Jianhui, and the noble princess Xiao Xinyue was persuaded to come back by Mingchen. There seemed to be no changes, and everyone just thought that the woman was emotional.

Dong Jingming and his team are ready to set sail again.

Dong Jianhui stopped at the city gate and watched from afar as the envoy team walked further and further away.

The old man's face was flushed, and he kept waving his hands, looking excited.

This meal was so worth it.

Having connections with high-ranking officials in the capital is something that no amount of wealth can buy.

Suddenly, there seemed to be bursts of strange noises coming from the city.

He frowned, turned around, and asked several servants, "What's going on? What happened?"

At the same time, Luo Li was in every corner of the city.

"Catch the corrupt officials!"

"Catch the corrupt officials!"

"The imperial court has sent high-ranking officials to investigate Dong Jianhui's corruption and bribery, and to punish him for causing chaos among the people. He will be dismissed from office. Capture Dong Jianhui and there will be a huge reward!"

"That bastard Dong Jianhui is no longer an official!"

"The magistrate has grain, the magistrate has money, the magistrate has plenty of grain, plenty of money!"

"What are you waiting for?! If we don't grab the food, we'll all starve to death! Let's fight!"

"Fight!"

……

All kinds of shouts suddenly rang out on the street.

All of a sudden, all the people with pale faces, thin bodies and empty eyes raised their heads and looked in the same direction.

Hearing those shouts, his whole body suddenly shook, and his empty eyes seemed to gradually brighten.

They took a deep breath and walked out the door one by one.

People are already living on the brink of collapse, and if one person takes the lead, unimaginable consequences will be triggered.

The streets that were empty in the past are now filled with darkness.

People in tattered clothes gathered together and ran towards the county magistrate's office.

"stop!"

"Stop, what are you doing?!"

"You know this is a crime!"

“Stop now!”…

Snowflakes drifted down and landed at the last point of the avalanche.

Once some momentum is established, it is difficult to suppress it.

One person will be confused, two people will be nervous, three people will be terrified...

But ten men will be brave, a hundred men will be unstoppable!

A large number of refugees gathered at the gate of the county magistrate's mansion. They bared their teeth and glared, rushing towards the gate like zombies.

The two sturdy guards looked at them with wide eyes, shouting and threatening in a cowardly manner.

However, no matter how strong two people are, how can they withstand a tsunami-like crowd?
The mask of majesty can be broken by the power of unity.

The angry people rushed forward, fighting and biting, attacking with all their might. The mother, who only had one finger left, ruthlessly plunged it into the guard's eye.

Following the shouts of the people, charge forward...

In the end, people rushed into the majestic gate of the county magistrate's office.

Before today, this was a high and mighty government office that could not be touched.

From today on, this place will be a granary and a den of corrupt officials.

Rush!
If they get the food inside, they won’t starve to death.

Once one person steps through the door, the situation can no longer be reversed.

Even the arrival of more than a dozen guards was of no avail.

The people who were watching also followed them and rushed in together.

If it’s too late, it’s gone.

"stop!"

"stop!"

"What are you doing?!"

Dong Jianhui, who had just seen off the envoys and was still thinking about good things, suddenly felt like the sky had fallen.

He hurried over, looked at the rushing refugees and the dilapidated gate, and couldn't help but widen his eyes and rage: "You untouchables!"

"Who allowed you to come here?"

"Someone come! Someone come, capture these people for me!!!"

He was so angry that he was puffing his beard and glaring, and kept roaring, really looking like an official.

He was still immersed in his own world, thinking that everyone in this city had to listen to him.

But now... the flood has broken through the dam and can no longer be stopped!

"Corrupt officials! Corrupt officials!"

"You dog officer, you're here!"

"Catch the corrupt officials! Catch the corrupt officials!"

"Give back my son's life!!"

……

The crazy people turned their heads suddenly, and all eyes were focused on him.

His eyes were violent and resentful.

The people know who is good to them and who is not.

The officials' masks have long been shattered and now no one can punish them.

The anger of being oppressed for a long time can finally be vented at this moment.

"You! How dare you! How dare you!"

"What are you going to do?!"

The old man seemed to understand something, his eyes widened, he kept backing away and scolding angrily.

The next moment...

"no no……"

"My ears..."

"Help, help..."

Under the horrified gaze of the county magistrate, the man had already been overwhelmed by the angry crowd.

He was slapped on the face and bitten off the ear fiercely.

When the crowd dispersed, the old man was already dead, lying on the ground with his limbs missing.

Those in power can rule the people, but they can never defeat the people.
