Chapter 43 Impact
Ma Erleng just glanced at him and urged, "Go, go, don't fucking talk to me!"

Sanwa had no choice but to smile awkwardly and continue walking forward.

The others who also wanted to step forward and say hello, but after seeing this situation, they did not go up and would only end up getting themselves into trouble.

At that time, most families could only eat two meals a day, breakfast and dinner at the beginning of the Si hour and the beginning of the You hour respectively. Because they had to hurry on their way, most of the cooks, including Sanwa, did not eat.

By the time they arrived at the Suzhou government office, most people were so hungry that they were completely exhausted.

The gatekeeper standing guard at the gate of the government office saw more and more people blocking the gate. At first, he tried to drive them away with a show of force. But when the gate was filled with ragged people, he vaguely felt that something was wrong. He quickly closed the gate and ran to the back hall to report to the squad leader.

Sanwa helped his father squeeze to the front and looked at the facade of Suzhou Government Office curiously.

However, not long after, someone in the crowd started saying something like "We have to shout louder so that Lord Kou can hear us." Then someone else started shouting, "Wei Zhongxian is oppressing the people. We can't survive anymore. Please ask Lord Kou to make the decision!"

At first, people only shouted in groups of two or three, but before they knew it, more and more people were shouting, and in the end, the sound of crying out for justice was so loud that the plaque of Suzhou government office began to fall dusty.

The local people of Suzhou who had passed by stood in the distance and watched curiously.

But as time passed, more and more stove owners joined in, and the people of Suzhou had no place to watch the fun. The streets were packed with stove owners.

Sanwa looked back and was also shocked.

Not long after, someone in the crowd shouted, "Mr. Kou has been captured by Wei Zhongxian and is being held in the government jail. We have to break down the gate and rescue Mr. Kou!"

The crowd began to surge forward, and Sanwa was a little scared.

Because he and his father were standing at the front, the people behind them squeezed in and pushed him forward.

In fact, Sanwa has no complete understanding of which one is more important, the provincial government or the county government.

But at least he knew that the people inside were all officials. If he knocked on their door, would the officials spare him?

However, Sanwazi had no choice, because the crowd behind him were just watching the fun and had no anxiety or worry at all, unlike Sanwazi.

Because they felt that they were at the back of the crowd, even if they really broke the gate, the government would not be able to find them and ask for compensation.

At this moment, the two contradictory emotions of fear and excitement began to spread among this group of people.

The team slowly approached the government gate and was about to be squeezed against the gate.

Suddenly, the door creaked and slowly opened in the surprised and frightened eyes of the third child.

Cold lights flashed in front of him, and he only saw a group of strong men holding shields and long swords, rushing towards him with ferocious looks.

Although there were less than a hundred people in the East Depot, Wei Zhongxian wanted to be prepared for any eventuality, so almost everyone was fully armed.

Although he was not wearing armor, he was almost fully equipped with swords, spears, shields and bows.

Under the command of Li Yongzhen, first thirty sword and shield men rushed out and guarded the gate of the government office, followed by forty foreign soldiers holding spears and following aggressively.

In addition, there were more than twenty archers who climbed over the wall with bows and arrows, drew their bows and arrows, and aimed at the cooks outside the door with expressionless faces.

The crowd of kitchen workers had never seen a regular army formation before. Although the enemy was not numerous, it was the first time in their lives that they were faced with a formation by the imperial army. The crowd's forward steps stopped immediately.

To put it bluntly, although the streets are densely packed with cooks, these people can be killed with just one attack from the East Factory men.

But the price of doing so is not just the few people who died at the hands of the bandits. Once the huge crowd rushed to escape, countless more people would be trampled to death by their own people. And the tens of thousands of people who fled would bring serious damage to Suzhou.

Robbery, murder and fire will happen all the time.

Within one day, the whole Suzhou will become a hell on earth.

Therefore, Wei Zhongxian repeatedly instructed that no attack was allowed without his order, and even unnecessary defensive actions had to be restrained.

This is not because Wei Zhongxian became merciful. If Zhu Youxiao was still in power during the Tianqi period, he could have supported Wei Zhongxian...

How dare you surround our factory?
Come on, kill them for us!

What? You're here to petition? We don't believe you, you just want to rebel!

Li Yongzhen was a bad guy, but he was also very fierce. He directly squeezed through the protection of the sword and shield soldiers with a knife in hand, walked to the front, and faced the cooks who might become a mob at any time. He raised his hand and shouted, "This is the imperial court. You guys retreat quickly, otherwise you will be rude to us!"

However, before he could continue, someone in the crowd shouted, "East Factory soldiers, lead the troops! Lord Kou has been captured!"

"Without Lord Kou, there is no one to make decisions for us!"

"Wei Zhongxian, if we don't sell the surplus salt, we will all be dead!"

"Charge! Charge into the government jail and rescue Lord Kou!"

The crowd began to surge forward again, and no one knew who suddenly pushed Sanwa back.

Sanwa was caught off guard and immediately stumbled towards Li Yongzhen.

Li Yongzhen also swung the knife subconsciously. Just as the blade was about to hit Sanwa's neck, an old man suddenly rushed out and stood in front of Sanwa.

Li Yongzhen's knife hit the old man hard.

Suddenly, blood splattered.

The old man cried out miserably and fell into Sanwa's arms, blood oozing from the corner of his mouth as he said, "Sanwa, hurry up, your wife and the baby in your belly are waiting for you!"

"Dad! Dad!" Sanwa cried bitterly while holding his father's body. He regretted why he had squeezed to the front to watch the fun and why he came to Suzhou Prefecture.

But as the old man closed his eyes, Sanwa began to resent the government and the evil man with the knife, asking why he killed his father!

The crowd began to become chaotic again, pushing and roaring. A large number of kitchen workers were frightened by the bloody scene, but some people were also extremely angry.

Someone was shouting, "The Dongchang thugs are killing people! Everyone, charge! If you don't charge, you will die here!"

Yes! If I don’t charge, I will die here. My wife and children are waiting for me to come home! I can’t die!
Sanwa put his dead father down, and without forgetting his father's advice for the second time, he rushed towards the demon who killed his father with the life his father had paid for!
At this moment, he just wanted to rush into the government office, rescue Kou Qingtian and avenge himself and his tragically dead father.

If possible, kill the other person and avenge your father.

But before he could knock the other person down.

call out--!
An arrow suddenly flew over and shot into his head.
