"You bunch of dogs! The people have been harmed by you!"
"Let me go, let me go!"
"If I don't burn all these dregs today, I'll live in vain! Let go!"
The fire burned fiercely.
A few commoners dressed in hemp clothes were struggling frantically, trying to escape from the silver-armored soldiers.
Judging from their conversation and the two burning torches on the ground.
Obviously, these people were the ones who set the fire.
Just as the few of them were struggling, a burly figure strode over.
It was Lu Bu!
"Release them."
Hearing Lu Bu's order, the silver-armored soldier released his grip without hesitation.
The few people who had lost their restraints were like mad dogs who did not care about their lives. They picked up the burning torches on the ground and ran towards the other piles of grain.
But with Lu Bu here, how could they let them succeed?
He suddenly moved and chased after one of them with a kick…
“呯……”
"Plop…"
In an instant, the person who was running turned into a rolling gourd and rolled far away.
The torch in his hand accidentally ignited the linen clothes on his body, setting them ablaze.
"Ah! Help…Help!"
A few silver-armored soldiers stepped forward and extinguished the fire.
Lu Bu's left hand had already grabbed one of them by the neck like he was holding a chick, while his other hand was slapping another person's face.
"Pa!"
How powerful was Lu Bu?
With a single palm, this person's vision turned black and he fainted.
In the blink of an eye, the three commoners who were about to ignite the grain pile were completely subdued.
At this moment, the person being held by Lu Bu was struggling.
Lu Bu looked at the man and grinned.
"Do you still want to burn it? If you want to, go ahead."
As he spoke, Lu Bu let go of his hand and handed a torch to the man.
"Go ahead."
The man was stunned for a moment before he tentatively ran a few steps.
Seeing that Lu Bu really didn't follow him this time, he quickly ran to the grain pile.
However, just as he was about to set the grain pile on fire, Lu Bu's voice suddenly sounded.
"Burn, burn. The more you burn, the more people will starve to death.”
"And these sins, these innocent deaths, will be on your heads!”
“！！！”
Hearing this, the person's hand holding the torch trembled.
"What…what did you say?"
"His Majesty has instructed that the beating just now was for the sake of the commoners and also for the food that you have harmed.”Lu Bu tidied his clothes and looked at the man with disdain.
"Tsk…If it were me, I would kill you bastards.”
"Men, put them in prison and wait for their punishment!”
"Here!"
Soon, a few silver-armored soldiers carried the three of them towards the prison.
On the way, Lu Bu couldn't stand the begging and finally said impatiently,""Humph, exchanging the good for the bad. Your Majesty's action is to relieve more disaster victims.”
"Money…Heh, if His Majesty wants to, there are many ways to plunder the treasures of the world. Foolish! Ignorant!"
Hearing Lu Bu's explanation, the three of them finally reacted, no matter how stupid they were.
"In other words, what we burned just now was…" one of them muttered.
"Humph, it's food to keep the victims alive.”
Lu Bu remained expressionless.
He didn't care about the disaster victims or the lives of the people.
The reason why he said these things was because these were the things and original words that his lord had instructed him to do.
"I want them to die of old age in prison with guilt and regret.”
This was what Zhao Tuo had said back then.
"Just now, you guys burned a total of five piles, nearly a hundred stones of chaff.”
"How many famine victims do you think a hundred piculs of grain will save?”
"Now that the food is gone, the lives of these people…will be on your heads!”
"Wuuu…"
As soon as Lu Bu finished speaking, the three people beside him began to cry.
His eyes were filled with regret and pain.
However, it was too late now.
What awaited them was only endless regret and pain, and they would eventually die in this deep prison where they could not see the sun all day long.
……
Lu Bu quickly returned to the new Wangyi Palace to report.
"My lord, everything has been done according to your instructions.”
"Yes, I am.“
Zhao Tuo nodded in satisfaction.
If nothing unexpected happened, those people should be regretting it until their intestines turned green at this moment.
At this moment, Meng Yi, who had been holding back for a long time, finally raised his question.
"Your Majesty, from what you're saying, it seems that there will be a famine in Great Qin?”
"Yes."
Since things had come to this, Zhao Tuo could only nod.
Seeing Zhao Tuo admit it, Meng Yi and Feng Quji couldn't help but look at each other.
They had specially investigated before and found that there had not been any famine in the 40 or so counties of Great Qin.
There wasn't even any sign of famine.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door of the hall.
Lu Bu turned around and walked out of the door. When he returned, his expression was extremely serious.
"Lord, the Black Ice Platform reported that there was a sudden rainstorm in the three prefectures of Hanoi, Yingchuan, and Sishui!”
Swoosh!
Zhao Tuo stood up abruptly.
He suddenly recalled the scene he had seen before. It was raining heavily!
Could it be…
"Minister Meng! What are the crops grown in these three counties?"
Meng Yi replied without thinking,"Your Majesty, other than Hanoi County, most of the crops grown in the other two counties are beans.”
"Little Bean…it should be."
Zhao Tuo's expression gradually turned solemn.
