Chapter 258 Shooting the Victims
The master was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, "Sir, these are secondary."
"The most important thing now is how to resolve this matter."
"Can't we not open the city gate tomorrow morning?"
It’s okay to close the city gate for a day or two, but you can’t keep it closed for a long time.
The county magistrate had calmed down by now.
He put his hands in his pockets and paced back and forth. "No hurry, don't be anxious."
“This matter seems difficult to resolve, but it is actually very easy to resolve.”
The master hurriedly asked, "Sir, how do we resolve this matter?"
The county magistrate's eyes were fierce. "Aren't those disaster victims going to rush in tomorrow morning when the city gates are open?"
The master said, "This is what the messenger said."
The county magistrate snorted coldly, "Arrange enough archers."
"When the city gates are opened tomorrow morning, anyone who dares to enter will be shot to death with arrows!"
He was extremely ferocious, "I want to see how desperate those disaster victims are!"
The master was worried, "Sir, what if the bullet hits an innocent civilian?"
The county magistrate said, "During these extraordinary times, if innocent people are harmed, there is nothing we can do."
"We can't just ignore the entire town and let those disaster victims do whatever they want in the town just for the sake of a few innocent people."
The master was silent for a moment before he said, "Your Excellency is right."
As the adults said, we cannot ignore the life and death of the entire town for the sake of the lives of a few innocent people.
The county magistrate patted his shoulder and sighed, "Master, I understand how you feel."
"If I could, I wouldn't want to do this, but there's nothing I can do."
"There are too many disaster victims outside. If they all rush into the town, the consequences will be disastrous."
He couldn't even imagine how serious and terrible the consequences would be if all those disaster victims rushed into the town.
The lawyer couldn't help but shudder, but he didn't dare let the victims enter the town.
"My Lord, I will arrange it now."
The county magistrate warned, "Be careful, there might be a traitor here."
The lawyer responded and hurried to do the job.
The county magistrate stamped his feet and breathed a few times.
He stood there for a while, then went back to the house and put on his clothes.
Afterwards, we came to the house where Dr. Deng was temporarily staying.
…………
The next day, it was dawn.
A large group of disaster victims stood up.
They gathered together, their greedy and ferocious eyes staring at the city gate that had not yet been opened.
There were three to four hundred victims in this group, and they were either holding weapons such as kitchen knives and sickles, or holding weapons such as wooden sticks.
"As soon as the city gates open, we'll rush in. Anyone who dares to stop us will be killed." The man in the lead was the sharp-nosed and monkey-faced man from last night. "Once we're in town, we can rob whatever we want and eat whatever we want."
The victims were all very excited, looking as if they could have a good life at any time.
"Wait, we'll be city dwellers now, and we'll have access to countless good things."
"I want a woman! I haven't tasted a woman in this period of time. This time I want to taste what the women in this town are like."
"I want endless silver and food. I don't want to be hungry anymore."
At this moment, accompanied by a creak, the city gate slowly opened.
The victims rushed forward like hungry wolves seeing meat.
"Charge! Charge into the town and rob!"
"Hahaha! Women in town, I'm here!"
"I want to eat, I want to eat!"
The people who were about to enter the town were startled, and many of those who reacted quickly stepped back.
There were also people who were frightened and crying.
"What's going on? Are these disaster victims crazy?"
"Run! I think most of these victims are crazy. We can't let them get involved."
When the victims thought they could rush into the town, a group of people armed with bows and arrows suddenly rushed out.
Without saying a word, they drew their bows and shot at the victims.
"Whoosh whoosh!"
Countless sharp arrows, like heavy rain from the sky, mercilessly pierced through the victims one by one.
"Bang bang bang."
The sound of victims falling to the ground was accompanied by screams.
"Run! I don't want to go into town! I don't want to go into town!"
"Help! The county magistrate is killing people indiscriminately!"
The disaster victims, who were originally furious, ran around like crazy at this moment.
It looked as if he would be killed if he ran slower.
The disaster victims and common people around were watching from a distance in fear.
"Did the county magistrate know that these disaster victims were going to cause trouble and made arrangements in advance?"
"I'm not sure. However, if I knew there were so many disaster victims outside the town, I would also take precautions. Who knows what these victims might do."
"I told you last night not to do anything you shouldn't do, but these people didn't listen and still dreamed of breaking into town and robbing people."
The archers did not let the victims go despite their pleas for mercy.
Some archers were guarding the city gate.
Some archers were chasing and killing these victims.
This group of disaster victims was a mob, all driven by anger.
Now faced with such a situation, these victims dared not do anything and just tried to escape.
But, under countless sharp arrows.
One after another, the victims fell to the ground.
In less than a quarter of an hour, there were less than twenty people left out of the original three or four hundred victims.
The twenty people were surrounded by archers and had nowhere to run even if they wanted to.
Their faces were filled with horror and regret.
"No, it's none of my business. Others forced me to do it. Please let me go."
"I won't dare to do it again. I won't dare to do it again. Please let me go."
The archers shot the victims without saying a word.
After doing this, the archers all left at such a speed that it seemed as if what just happened was an illusion.
The ground was littered with the bodies of the victims, and it was a terrifying sight.
Those victims who did not participate in the disaster were either relieved or relieved.
"Bah! Serves you right! If you ask me, it's because the county magistrate was so kind to these disaster victims, providing them with food and medical care."
"That's right. The previous county magistrate didn't do anything like this during the disaster. These victims don't know what's good for them, and they dare to do such a thing."
"Hey, hey, hey, do you think there's something fishy going on? The disaster victims are suddenly rioting. I'm afraid someone is behind this."
"Who cares? It has nothing to do with us ordinary people. That's something the county magistrate should worry about."
At this time, Captain Ma came out with a large group of people.
"Gather all these bodies and take them to a designated place to burn them."
He glanced around sharply, "If anyone dares to cause trouble at this time, I will kill them immediately."
Everyone responded "yes" and immediately took action separately.
Those who needed to move the body did so, and those who needed to prepare firewood and other things did so.
Everyone was busy in an orderly manner.
Captain Ma said to the people who were about to enter the town: "You can go into the town later. Let's deal with the things here first."
