Chapter 421: Duckweed in troubled times, where do human rights come from?(2/2)
"Take us to the mayor's house, do you understand?" the military commander said condescendingly.
"I understand, I understand." The vendor said hurriedly as he was almost scared to death.
Soon, the troops broke down the door of the mayor's house.
A group of servants were kneeling in the yard at gunpoint, and the mayor's family, dressed in silk and satin, stood uneasily in the living room.
"My surname is Chen, you can call me Commander Chen." The officer in a green coat held a riding crop in his hand and said calmly while sitting on the expensive chair in the mayor's house.
The old man wearing a round hat, a black shirt with a double-breasted collar, and a pair of glasses on his nose bowed and asked, "I wonder what Commander Chen's instructions are?"
"My commander has received reliable information that someone has buried a large amount of arms outside Gantian Town for use in an attempt to start an uprising." Commander Chen said coldly: "Chief Zhang, I need you to organize the people of the town to go out of town to dig for arms.
.”
Mayor Zhang was startled for a moment, then said calmly: "Commander, you don't know something. Now is the busy time for farming. If you don't take care of the crops first..."
"I don't want to hear this." Commander Chen waved his hand and said, "This is my order, just follow it."
Mayor Zhang smiled bitterly: "Commander, it's not that I don't want to obey the order, it's just that I don't have the ability. The people will definitely not be happy to recruit them at this time."
"Trash!" Commander Chen scolded, and said to his adjutant: "Adjutant Xu, I don't believe you lead troops to arrest people for work in the town. How dare anyone be unhappy at gunpoint?!"
…
"It's not good, it's not good."
Not long after, a group of people came running into Fuxi Hall, shouting with panic on their faces.
Mao Xiaofang led everyone to the courtyard and pressed his palms: "Everyone, calm down, everyone, what happened?"
"Master Mao, something has happened. A group of heavy-duty soldiers have come to the town. They are arresting people from door to door, saying they want to dig up arms."
"Yes, Master Mao, my husband and son have been taken away. Please find a way to save them."
"Master Mao, you are the only one we can rely on now."
Everyone was chattering away, and through their stories, Mao Xiaofang gradually understood what happened, and a wry smile appeared on his face.
He is very good at dealing with monsters, but in front of the warlord, the only thing he can do is to escape alone.
Under gunpoint, he couldn't even save his two apprentices, so what could he do to save the entire town?
"boom!"
While he was silent, the half-open door of Fuxi Hall was kicked open, and more than a dozen green-clad soldiers holding guns filed in, surrounding the common people, Mao Xiaofang and others.
"Don't be afraid, we are just performing our mission and will not kill people indiscriminately." An officer holding a pistol said: "All men, please follow me. Don't worry. I promise that as long as you are willing to obey, there will be no problems."
.”
With the gun pointed at them, no one dared to answer, but they all focused on Mao Xiaofang, hoping that he could bring them a miracle.
However, at this moment, Mao Xiaofang, who was afraid of harming these people, did not dare to act rashly and could not respond to the expectant gazes of the people with his actions.
Soon, when the soldiers started to use guns to drive away the people, Qin Yao sighed slightly and stepped forward: "We just need the people's help, so we have to use such a barbaric method?"
The officer frowned, instinctively feeling something was wrong, and shouted: "Who are you?"
