Frontier Army Warrior

Chapter 453 Who has the final say here?

Cheng Liang pointed inside the room.

"Still sleeping."

Lin Qiaomei waved her hand.

Cheng Liang immediately made way for the door and watched Lin Qiaomei push it open and walk in.

He didn't dare to offend this woman, as he knew her identity.

Lin Qiaomei groped her way into the house, leaned over and rested her cheek on Lin Feng's neck.

"Wake up, what are you going to do with the fishermen outside? You made me get up in the middle of the night to work, but you were sleeping soundly."

Lin Feng was awakened by her and spoke in a daze.

"Just let them stay and wait for processing."

Lin Qiaomei was stunned: "Brother, there are hundreds of injured people, all fishermen, you won't treat them?"

Lin Feng exhaled and became more sober.

He reached out and pinched Lin Qiaomei's cheek.

"I just want to show them what happens if they dare to cause trouble again."

Lin Qiaomei's eyes were soft and she reached out to stroke Lin Feng's chin.

"Their beards have grown back. Oh, there's no need to bother. I'll just take my men and slaughter their village."

Lin Feng pulled her onto his body, feeling the softness of her body.

"Don't mess around. They're here to cause trouble. We're just maintaining the canal project. Do you want to go to war with Xixia by slaughtering the whole village?"

Lin Qiaomei twisted her body.

"Let's start the war. These guys can't stand being beaten."

Lin Feng slapped her butt hard.

"We are in the development stage now, so we shouldn't make enemies everywhere. Be honest with me and don't ruin my plan."

"When did I become dishonest? It was you who taught me... um..."

Lin Feng didn't let her continue speaking and blocked her from saying anything else with his mouth.

The two men tossed and turned in the darkness.

At daybreak, all the laborers and prisoners of war were called up to go to work.

They walked towards the construction site with sleepy eyes. When they arrived at the newly built section, they suddenly found that hundreds of people were sitting or lying in a mess on the canal.

At that moment, a civilian screamed loudly.

"Someone's here to cause trouble again..."

The cry spread among the crowd like a plague.

Amid the uproar, the people in front stepped back and those behind pushed forward.

The entire construction site was bustling with activity and shouting.

Because these laborers often fight with fishermen, they are used to it. As long as fishermen appear nearby, they will start a fight.

Lin Feng stood on a high place and looked coldly at the chaos on the construction site.

Soon, more than a dozen police officers and constables came from the nearest Bin County government office, accompanied by a dozen civilians.

The people who came to destroy the construction site last night didn't go back, and their families were very worried.

Before daybreak, he went to report to the authorities.

Originally, the people on the construction site and the villagers would fight every now and then, and the government had become accustomed to it.

But this time the person did not go back, and the magistrate Dai Zhixing quickly sent the captain of the police to bring people to check.

When the officers arrived at the construction site, the first thing they saw was the fishermen squatting in the canal.

The dozen or so officers looked at the fishermen with feather arrows stuck in their legs and feet, and they were stunned and unable to react for a while.

The dozen or so people who were accompanying them were also stunned. They moved closer to take a closer look and immediately recognized several people from their own village.

Seeing their relatives from the village coming, the injured fishermen began to cry and shout.

An old man was trembling all over and pointing at the injured fishermen.

"Sir...this...this..."

He couldn't finish his words and his legs went limp as he sat down on the ground.

The other dozen or so villagers, some of whom were brave enough, rushed to help their families.

The chief constable of Bin County was called Ji Duofu. He was in his forties and had been working as a constable for many years, but he had never seen such a serious case of injury.

He swallowed hard, his eyes darting around.

"Who, who has the final say here?"

Because Lin Feng was present, no one else spoke.

Lin Feng glanced at Cheng Liang.

Cheng Liang immediately walked forward and nodded to Ji Duofu.

"Captain, these people came here to steal in the dark. There were so many of them, we thought they were bandits, so..."

Captain Ji looked Cheng Liang up and down.

I thought to myself, which bandit comes here to steal stones?

At this time, people in the canal began to cry and wail, thinking they had found their relatives.

Lin Feng waved his hand again and asked Wen Jian to pass on the order, asking the laborers to quickly do their work.

Ji Duofu finally came to his senses and rolled his eyes.

"This matter is too serious. I have to go back and report to the county magistrate for a decision. You are not allowed to move at this scene."

Cheng Liang nodded: "Don't worry, if we wanted to move, we would have done it a long time ago. We wouldn't wait for you to come."

Ji Duofu turned around and whispered a few words to an officer.

The officer turned and ran away.

A few villagers also ran away, they wanted to go back to the village to report the news.

This is a huge deal.

The officer ran all the way and arrived at the county government office out of breath.

He was so tired that he could not even straighten his back. He held on to the door frame and stared at the county magistrate in the hall, unable to speak for a moment.

Dai Zhixing was sitting behind his desk, looking at today's files.

I looked up and found that the officer was covered in dust, holding his waist and gasping for breath.

"You, what are you doing?"

The officer finally caught his breath and pointed outside.

"Grandpa, something big has happened!"

Dai Zhixing frowned: "Speak properly."

“Hey, hey, Master, the people in the water channel of Zhenxi and the people of our village have been injured, and they won’t let people leave.”

Dai Zhixing scratched his head: "Boy, can you still speak human language?"

The officer calmed himself down.

"Master, it was villagers from Liangjiabu, along with hundreds of people from several other villages. They went to the canal at night and were injured. The canal was full of people, all piled up there, and no one knew whether they were alive or dead."

Dai Zhixing narrowed his eyes. "You mean, hundreds of people, whose lives and deaths are unknown?"

"Yes, Master, yes."

Dai Zhixing stood up and stared into the officer's eyes.

"Are all our villagers injured, or are the people from Zhenxi injured as well?"

The officer scratched his head and said, "I see the only people injured are from our village."

"How did it hurt?"

"Uh... they were all shot with bows and arrows. The captain asked me to come back quickly to report."

Dai Zhixing stroked his beard and tried to calm himself down.

This is really a big deal. Do the people from Zhenxi dare to kill people?

Even if Lin Feng is here, it won't work. Hundreds of people have been shot with bows and arrows, and their lives are still unknown. This will only provoke conflicts and trigger a war between the two countries.

He recalled what Wu Sheng had said a few days ago.

If someone dies, who should be held responsible?

After pondering for a moment, Dai Zhixing immediately sat down and began to write the official document.

The matter is too serious, so I have to report it first and then go to the scene myself.

Only by trying to shift the blame can one keep his official hat.

After the official document was delivered, Dai Zhixing immediately notified the county lieutenant, summoned hundreds of government soldiers, and rushed to the canal by the lake.

Nearly a thousand villagers have gathered from several villages around Liangjiabu.

They moved much faster than the county government. The huge crowd was holding weapons such as shovels, sickles, rolling pins, and kitchen knives.

After gathering at the entrance of Liangjiabu Village, they rushed straight to the canal construction site.

Liang Shuisheng had a stomachache last night and was unable to come out, so he was lucky to escape.

This time, when he heard that the villagers had been killed, he could no longer control his anger. He took the lead in gathering the young and strong men from each village and went to the canal to seek an explanation.

They also know that the government will not make decisions for them.

Lin Feng has also made preparations, and all the laborers are working on another construction site.

So I left a large open space and waited.

If Lin Qiaomei had followed his advice, he would have led the team to attack.

Lin Feng waved his hand and asked her to lead her team, stand on the periphery and not get close.
