Take full responsibility and accept relief. The victims are not allowed to leave Baoding Prefecture without government orders. Violators will be punished."

As soon as this statement came out, the victims started talking a lot, but there was not much reaction.

Anyway, they have settled down here and will not go to the capital again.

Li Yi stood aside and said nothing. The imperial court used the plague as an excuse to prevent the victims from going north, and also asked the Baoding government office to be responsible for disaster relief. It was obvious that the imperial court wanted to put aside the relationship.

He wanted to hear what Lin Zongming wanted to do.

Lin Zongming immediately coughed and asked the victims to calm down.

"After today, all shelters in Baoding Prefecture will be managed by the government. Fuguoshe did not register with the government, but took it upon itself to provide relief to the victims indiscriminately, causing public dissatisfaction, so I decided..."

Speaking of these words, Lin Zongming glanced at Li Yi secretly, took a deep breath and said: "I have decided to fine you three thousand taels of silver, and all those responsible will be arrested and imprisoned. The Fuguo Society must be disbanded within three days."

Before his voice could even finish, there was an uproar in Anmin District, with strong dissatisfaction and curses erupting.

“We were forced to flee the country and were desperate, but we were fortunate enough to receive aid from the state and society. How could there be so much public dissatisfaction?”

"The government has no idea of ​​​​relief. If you do this, you will not give our old Zhou family a way to survive. I will not let you take over this shelter until I die!"

"These government officials are trying to push us to death!"

There was no need for Li Yi to stand up. The victims had not yet recovered from their escape, and were soon to be oppressed by the government. In an instant, public resentment boiled over.

Li Yi was also ugly. He didn't expect the government to dare to do this.

Now that the Fuguo Society is doing its best to provide disaster relief, and all the money and food for the houses have been mobilized, Lin Zongming obviously wants to take the opportunity to seize the achievements of the Fuguo Society, and then completely collapse the Fuguo Society.

Fortunately, Li Yi had already publicized the situation to the people before. The government's passive relief and inaction had aroused public anger. Now he still wants to confuse right and wrong and act recklessly. Instead, he wants to look at Fuguoshe and see if the victims agree.

For a time, the grievances in the hearts of thousands of victims were like weeds in the fields after the rain, growing crazily. All it took was someone to step forward and ignite the anger, and it would quickly ignite a prairie fire. Lin Zongming obviously did not expect that the always weak

The townspeople reacted so strongly that they quickly yelled and shouted, and the officers and soldiers used intimidation to suppress the commotion.

Relying on violence and government authority to act recklessly, Lin Zongming obviously wanted to lose the hearts of the people. The capital was finally captured by the peasant uprising army, and I am afraid that the local government was responsible for this.

The victims spontaneously resisted and the scene became a mess. However, with the threat of the officers and soldiers, things finally got better. The scene that almost got out of control also frightened Lin Zongming. He said this in accordance with the imperial court's secret text, which contained even more sinister elements.

Now that I saw this scene, I could only suppress the order temporarily and did not dare to throw it out at this sensitive and irritable time.

Li Yi did not take the opportunity to agitate. The victims were exhausted mentally and physically. If a major chaos broke out, it would probably lead to civil unrest. Not only would Anmin District be damaged, but the situation would easily get out of hand.

Moreover, Li Yi does not need to incite the victims. Relying on the power he has now, not to mention Lin Zongming, even a high official from the imperial court would not dare to act recklessly in Baoding Mansion. Unless he wants to cause chaos that he cannot control.

Bureau.

"quiet!"

After a few minutes of chaos, the police officers and soldiers finally calmed down the surrounding victims completely.

Lin Zongming walked off the wooden platform, looked at Li Yi and said: "The sinner Li Yi has incited civil unrest. His crime is unpardonable. Arrest him."

The officers and soldiers looked at each other, not daring to take action easily.

Lin Zongming saw this and said angrily: "Li Yi is a repeat offender. If he is caught and brought to justice, he will be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver. If you don't respect the order, I will see how I deal with you when you go back."

One hundred taels of silver was enough for a family of five to live for a lifetime. The officers and soldiers were all tempted. At that moment, two bold people stood up and walked towards Li Yi.

Li Yi just glanced at them and sneered: "How courageous. I'm afraid you will take the money but not spend it."

These words were so cold and stern that the two officers and soldiers felt a cold current rush into their minds. Their bodies trembled and they all retreated angrily, lowering their heads and acting like cowering turtles.

Seeing this scene, Lin Zongming was even more furious.

But Li Yi was so powerful that even he, not to mention these officers and soldiers, was frightened.

At that moment, he looked at Li Yi and said calmly: "Li Yi, how dare you act so boldly. I will go back immediately and mobilize the soldiers. By then, not only you, but also the rest will be held accountable."

Li Yi sneered after hearing this: "Are you looking for Mr. Cao?"

Cao Minglei was the chief military officer of the Baoding Prefecture, and his battalion troops were several times more powerful than the guard troops. Naturally, he was the one Lin Zongming could find.

When Li Yi asked, Lin Zongming thought he was afraid, so he laughed and said, "What, are you scared?"

Li Yi said with a slight smile: "General Cao has a close relationship with my master. I would also like to call him uncle. His young general Liu Zhi is also a good brother of mine. If you go to bring reinforcements, Uncle Cao will be afraid."

We will send Brother Liu Zhi here."

With these words, the garrison commander is his uncle and the general is his good brother. Is this reinforcement coming to save me or you, Li Yi?

Lin Zongbin turned pale after hearing this. He did not expect that in addition to Li Wensheng who valued Li Yi very much, Cao Minglei also had something to do with Li Yi.
