General Raiden pursues eternity, so stability is the priority throughout Inazuma. It has been the tradition of Inazuma for thousands of years since the establishment of Inazuma that each of the three major families controls the three professions.
In the eyes of ordinary people in Daozhu, the men of the three major families must be smarter than ordinary people like them, and they will not make mistakes.
And the facts seem to confirm the thoughts of Inazuma people. Under the management of San Fengxing, although Inazuma is not making leaps and bounds of progress, it is indeed improving a little bit.
Therefore, in the hearts of the people of Inazuma, it is natural for the three major families to control the three practices, and no one thinks that they will become traitors.
But now someone told them that there was a traitor around the general, which naturally made them unacceptable.
Amid the bursts of shocked or angry talk, more and more eyes focused on Jiujin.
During these days, Jiujin's performance was noticed by everyone. Fortification, mining, exchanging food, haunting gods...
Various difficulties befell Feimu Village, but Jiujin resolved them one by one.
Unknowingly, Jiujin has become the person trusted and relied upon by most people in Feimu Village.
Although this is due to the troubled times and the closed geographical environment of Feimu Village, Jiujin's own abilities and character are also crucial.
Seeing everyone turning their attention to him, Jiujin knew that he could not hide. So he stood up from behind Ember and nodded to the crowd.
"I also agree with Ember's statement!"
"It's a rare time to come to the cellar. Come take a good look at it."
Jiujin walked through the crowd, his eyes constantly looking at the food stored around him.
When everyone saw Jiujin's appearance, they had no choice but to suppress their inner doubts and observe the situation in the cellar.
Soon, attentive villagers discovered something suspicious.
"cellar……"
"No, what's going on with the village chief? There seems to be a little shortage of food?"
The cellar is a place used by Feimu Village to store food. Usually it only needs to leave a trail for a few people to walk together, but now it can accommodate hundreds of strong men!
From this point of view, the construction of the cellar in Feimu Village was quite a failure - because it did not store much food.
"Yeah, the food is a little low." Jiujin put his hand on the sack on the grain rack. The sack was bulging, giving people a feeling of peace of mind.
But no matter how big a sack is, it still looks a little shriveled when faced with a large village of thousands of people.
Even sacks like this are still there in the cellar.
"These grains..., if you save some, they will be fine this month." Jiujin put his arms down and said to everyone.
There is no problem with food this month, but no one is happy. Because Washijin's unspoken meaning was that there would be no whereabouts next month.
"Village Chief, what happened?"
"The shogunate has made big moves recently. The various channels we opened up before are probably gone now."
Jiujin sighed, shook his head and said nothing.
Everyone fell into silence after hearing this. Food has always been their biggest concern. Recently, due to the kindness of fools, the conditions in the village have improved slightly.
But no one expected that Feimu Village's rising momentum would be interrupted by the shogunate.
This day is going to be sad again.
Chapter 500: Heaven punishes the national thief!
2024-02-21
"Chuck!"
In the silence, a few sniffling sounds could occasionally be heard. I don't know if it was someone's sobbing or the cellar being too cold.
"Clap! Clap! Clap!"
There was a loud clapping sound, the sound of distant embers.
Seeing everyone turning their attention to him, Yi Yan stopped his movements and said in a tone that he had expected:
"I didn't lie to you now, did I? I just said there were traitors in the shogunate."
"And I remember that Feimu Village only had a few hundred people before. As for why it is so big now, I believe you know better than anyone else."
Ember's words brought back bad memories for many people present. Why have the people in Feimu Village changed so much? Because the refugees are all coming here.
Why did the refugees come to Feimu Village? Because only Feimu Village is willing to accept them.
Those who were able to escape to Feimu Village were lucky. More people turned into withered bones on the way to escape. They are the truly forgotten people.
"call……"
Some people's eyes were wet, some were breathing heavily, and some clenched their fists.
"Think about the suffering you have suffered, and then look at your bodies today..."
Following the guidance of Yu Yan's words, everyone turned their eyes away and turned to Jia Zhen.
Horns, scales, hair... all kinds of inhuman parts stimulated everyone's minds.
"You have inhuman parts in your body, and naturally you also have inhuman powers."
"Instead of worrying about your identity as a human being, why not think about whether the shogunate's gentlemen have seen you as human beings?"
Ember's words were like a sharp thorn piercing everyone's hearts again.
"they do not!"
Finally, someone couldn't bear the anger and resentment in their hearts and shouted loudly.
"They are not human beings! My wife and my children were all sunk to the bottom of the sea by them!"
The man looked down at his hands, his expression distorted like the legendary Prajna ghost.
Yi Yan didn't feel anything strange when he saw this. Ghosts were originally transformed from humans. Of course, living people can become ghosts.
"Yes! They are the beasts!"
"My old mother died on the road!"
"Obviously I didn't cause the furnace core to explode, so why are you asking me for furnace repair silver?"
……
The voice of one person venting his grievances is like a valve, opening up the long-standing anger in everyone's hearts.
These angers have never disappeared. They have always been hidden in people's hearts, just waiting for a chance to vent.
Now, it was the perfect opportunity to vent.
The roars and mournful cries mixed together and did not dissipate for a long time.
"Okay! Is it useful to cry and roar like this?!"
The crying and roaring became more and more intense, and it was getting out of control. Seeing this, Ember quickly suppressed his voice.
He just wanted to arouse people's anger and resentment against the shogunate, and didn't want people to collapse emotionally.
"They won't listen to what you say. They have blocked their ears and need you to stab them with your swords!"
"Everyone, now that the national traitors are in power, are you willing to join me in killing the national traitors from heaven?"
Yan Yan waved his hand and pointed at everyone present.
"My pain can't be in vain. I'm going to bite them. Heaven will punish the national thieves!"
I don't know whether it was out of anger or because he had really thought it over, but as soon as Yu Yan finished speaking, someone shouted after him.
The shouts were like a pebble falling into the water, quickly spreading among the crowd, and more people started shouting.
"Heaven punishes the national thief!"
"Heaven punishes the national thief!"
"Heaven punishes the national thief!"
……
As Yujin waved his arms, the shouts of the crowd gradually became more uniform.
"Okay, I didn't realize you had this ability to stir people up like this before."
Danguiliu shouted as he came over and gave a thumbs up to the ember.
He originally thought that Yan Yan had always been careless, but he didn't expect that he had such a skill.
It's really unbelievable.
"I was deceived before and learned a little bit." Yu Yan took the time to respond to Tuan Gui Liu.
This suddenly plunged Dangui Liu into deep suspicion. He looked up at the embers of a blazing fire on his palm. Who could deceive this guy?
"Don't lie to me. Who can lie to you?" Tuan Guiliu approached Yu Yan with a face full of disbelief.
"It's a bug, damn it. Even if it's ugly, it's really evil!" Thinking of the bad memories, Yi Yan's voice became smaller.
At the beginning, he was still a simple little knight, wandering around Huanyin City. Then I met a giant insect with a human face.
He kept saying "Don't be afraid of the darkness, the time has come to eat big food!", but the ember actually believed it.
So he opened his belly and ate the dark things that came out of Huanyin City.
Later, Yi Yan learned that the "food" mentioned by the human-faced bug refers to the soul, not darkness.
This made him very angry, because while chewing the mud, Ember almost actually choked to death several times.
Although this was not caused by the human-faced worm, since the human-faced worm was ugly and acted as the Riddler all day long, Yi Yan decisively put the blame on it.
"Okay! Okay!" A familiar voice brought Yuan Jin back to his senses from his memories. He looked up and saw Jiujin walking in front of him and facing him.
I saw him pressing his arms to everyone, and the villagers' shouts immediately stopped.
Jiujin glanced around and saw that all the villagers' faces were red and sweating profusely.
After letting everyone breathe for a while, Jiujin looked at them and shouted loudly: "What I just shouted was very energetic. The sound was so loud that my ears were almost deafened."
"But let me ask you now, who is really going to do it?!"
Jiujin's eyes widened and he looked at the villagers in front of him. His shouts echoed in the cellar for a long time, but no one came out.
"Let me ask, village chief, what are you doing?" After the echo completely dissipated, someone asked weakly.
