Chapter 13: The Heart of a Person is Deep in the Belly (Please Vote)
"Where's Chu Laowu! Where's Chu Laowu! How did these beasts rush in?!"
In the inner courtyard of the palace, after settling his wives, concubines and children, the rich man Wang, with a big belly, rushed out of the room in a hurry, yelling continuously.
The entire palace was in chaos.
Those strong guards ran away to who knows where, and there was no resistance at all.
It was precisely because of this that the servants who had no time to react found it even more difficult to resist the influx of refugees.
Panic shouts continued to ring out throughout the palace.
The wealthy Wang had a ferocious look on his face. He walked toward the door, stopped a servant who wanted to escape, and asked, "Where is Chu Laowu?"
"Master!" The servant couldn't help but tremble and said, "I don't know either!"
"A bunch of trash!"
Mr. Wang roared angrily and shouted, "Quickly take people to put out the fire!"
"We must not let this fire burn any further!"
"Also, have someone notify Magistrate Chen and tell him that these beasts are rebelling!"
Due to years of drought, these houses are prone to fire. Even though there are high walls between the inner courtyard and the other four courtyards, if the fire continues it will definitely spread to the inner courtyard!
Even the granary in the inner courtyard!
This is the foundation of the Wang family. How could the rich man Wang not be crazy?
Hearing this, the servant nodded quickly and ran towards the South Courtyard where the fire broke out.
The rich man Wang did not hesitate. He turned around and walked back into the room, picked up the granary key and an official machete that only he had.
Then he immediately walked towards the granary.
The palace is very big.
As the local rich man of Lian'an City, this palace was equivalent to the houses of nearly ten ordinary families before the drought.
After the drought, the rich man Wang made more money again, and by hiring guards and servants, the palace had already expanded several times.
There are people living in the four courtyards of the east, west, south and north, and this granary is located in the core inner courtyard, which is also where the rich man Wang and his wives, concubines and children live.
Soon, Rich Man Wang rushed directly to the granary.
With the brighter and brighter firelight, he soon saw Chu Laowu and a group of guards guarding the door of the granary.
In an instant, Mr. Wang's face darkened slightly.
He walked over slowly with his men, saying as he walked: "Old Five, these beasts broke into the mansion, why are you staying here?"
Chu Laowu also immediately saw the rich man Wang, and a ruthless look immediately appeared in his eyes.
But in just a moment, he regained his composure and quickly said, "Master, there is no need to panic. They are just a group of beasts."
"It's too chaotic outside. There are so many beasts here. I'm afraid someone will take the opportunity to sneak into the granary."
"That's why I brought my brothers here to guard."
"Master, don't worry. If they dare to come to the granary, we brothers will kill them directly!"
Upon hearing this, Mr. Wang's expression eased a little.
What Chu Laowu said is right.
In times like this, food is the most important thing.
As long as the granary is guarded, there will definitely be no chaos in the palace.
"When these beasts come over later, remember, don't leave any of them alive!"
As Wang Caizhu spoke, he slowly walked towards Chu Laowu. Looking at the growing fire in the south, he couldn't help but show anger on his face again: "These beasts, actually..."
Before he could finish speaking.
Just when he was about to walk in front of Chu Laowu, a machete slashed towards him almost instantly.
Chu Laowu was extremely fast. Mr. Wang was fat to begin with, so there was no way he could dodge the attack. Almost instantly, his fat head fell down.
His eyes were wide open, as if he had not expected this at all.
"Humph!"
Chu Laowu snorted coldly and stared coldly at the body lying on the ground: "If it weren't for County Magistrate Chen, I would have killed you long ago!"
As he spoke, Chu Laowu squatted down, fumbled around on the body of the rich man Wang, and then he found the key to the granary from him.
Instantly, an excited look appeared on his face, and he immediately looked at the guard behind him: "Guard the granary for me later."
"As long as we can hold on this time, we brothers won't have to be afraid in the future!"
It was impossible for him to risk his life for the rich man Wang and the refugees.
It would have been fine if it was just a simple conflict like before, but through just a moment, he had already discovered that the refugees this time were different.
These refugees have gone crazy!
Although he looked down on these refugees from the bottom of his heart, he had to admit that there were too many of them!
And the most important thing is that through observation over the years, he discovered one thing.
That is, the rich man Wang and the county magistrate were not close friends, but a purely vested interest relationship. He was very sure that as long as he could provide the county magistrate with food, it would not matter who became the rich man of Lian'an City!
And there is another advantage, that is, as long as they kill the rich man Wang, even if they really can't defend the granary in the end, with their strength, they can definitely take away a lot of food! .
Meanwhile, on the other side.
As soon as Lin Zhongyun lit the fire, he took Li Zhongwu and rushed towards the refugees.
Now the servants in the palace are all putting out the fire, so there is no need to worry about being discovered. And even if they are discovered, what can they do?
After all, the entire palace is in chaos now.
Soon, the two who knew the route to the palace found the refugees directly based on their shouting.
Without any hesitation, Lin Zhongyun rushed to the front of the crowd and shouted, "Fellow villagers! I know where the granary of the palace is! Follow me!!!"
The palace was too big, and it was impossible for this group of chaotic refugees to find the granary in the first place.
Even if we can find it, it will be a long time later.
Moreover, considering the physical condition of these refugees, if they were to disperse, they would surely be killed by the guards.
Lin Zhongyun must make good use of the advantage in numbers.
Only in this way can you win!
Hearing this, the refugees followed Lin Zhongyun without any hesitation and rushed towards the inner courtyard.
The fire is getting bigger and bigger.
The fire had already completely started at this time, and it spread from the South Courtyard to all directions. In just a short moment, it had spread to the East and West Courtyards, like a fire dragon, illuminating the entire palace.
Soon, under the leadership of Lin Zhongyun, a group of refugees immediately rushed to the inner courtyard.
There was a "boom".
The unattended wooden door was kicked open by Li Zhongwu in an instant.
The next moment, crazy refugees rushed in along with Lin Zhongyun.
With the help of the raging flames, Lin Zhongyun immediately saw the guards guarding the granary.
as well as--
The fat corpse on the ground.
Lin Zhongyun knew who the body belonged to, and in an instant he guessed what had happened, and his eyes couldn't help but focus.
"People's hearts are really hidden." Lin Zhongyun sighed secretly, and then immediately raised the kitchen knife and shouted: "The granary is in front!"
"Fellow villagers, kill!!!"
