Chapter 372 Rebellion and Submission
A county lady and two major merchants, following the orders of the Fourth Princess of the South, are mobilizing a large number of their men to blend in with the refugees and go to the Jiang family to collect supplies.
But who would have thought that Shui Zhubu insisted on sitting on the front line and personally checking things. Anyone who wanted to get food or see a doctor needed to show their household registration certificate and register with him before they could enter the yard to get anything.
Yes, any citizen of a county can receive one, no matter whether he works for a county lord or two major merchants, he can receive a share of supplies without any difference.
However, if it is food, they can only get three days of food rations for a family, and if it is medical treatment, it can only cure half of the disease.
The Jiang family supplied these supplies easily, as if they were inexhaustible.
However, if everyone still wanted to continue to receive food or medical treatment, they would have to submit to the Jiang family, work for them, and pay off their debts with work.
After all, the Jiang family wasn't stupid. How could they possibly let a county lady take advantage of them? This maneuver effectively blocked the county lady's second wave of people from collecting food.
But later on, the subordinates could get things like food and money from the county lady, but how could they get medical treatment?
Isn't it said that illness is a sign of their lack of piety, a punishment from Solomon? Then why can the beastly husband of the Jiang family heal Solomon's punishment? Isn't this ironic?
This only shows that the so-called punishment from Solomon is false, and the Jiang family medical team can cure the disease that all the doctors in their county cannot cure.
So what are you waiting for? Even if you earn so much money, you still have to live to spend it. So many families of patients directly rebelled against the sphere of influence of the county lord and two major merchants and surrendered to the Jiang family.
No matter what the threats were, they were useless. The suppression from the county lord and the Zhu and Yuan families caused their subordinates to rebound and fight against their former masters, causing chaos among the forces.
Just when a county lady was worried about the rebellion of her subordinates, she received the news that the Fourth Princess of the South had been captured.
"Damn it! Come with me to see the Fourth Princess! How dare she?! The Southern Kingdom's soldiers are stationed dozens of miles away from the island. Does she want to start a war? Does she want the entire county to be massacred?"
A county lady was furious and cursed all the way from the yamen, spreading news and panic along the way.
But what surprised him was that all the citizens on the street were in high spirits and didn't take his words seriously at all.
A county lady couldn't help but grab a passerby and ask, "How can you still laugh? The Fourth Princess has captured the Southern Kingdom Princess. The Southern Kingdom is about to attack us, and then we will all die."
Of course, as the county lord and capable, he could have run away, but if he lost the county, he would be severely punished even if he returned to Beijing.
Unexpectedly, the thin male shook off the restraints of the county lady and said disdainfully, "Fight me if you want. What's there to be afraid of the southerners?"
The male rolled his eyes and ran away in a hurry. He wanted to take the food back and go to work at the Jiang family workshop. He heard that they were going to build a brick kiln, and in the future, ordinary people like them would be able to live in green brick and tile houses.
As for the southerners, the fourth princess said that they were so tough that they could make the southern elephant army go there without returning.
This wasn't just the opinion of one citizen, but the opinion of all the citizens who received the supplies. So, a county lord was constantly being confronted by the lower-class citizens, with some even cursing at him?! This was unprecedented.
Until they hurriedly arrived at the Jiang family's accommodation again, there were huge crowds of people here, much more than they had seen before, and almost all the citizens of the city had come.
He asked his men to squeeze into the crowd and report, asking to see the Fourth Princess.
However, it took a long time before the men squeezed out. "Shui Zhubu wouldn't let us in, and we found the Jiang family guards, who said the Fourth Princess was busy."
The First County Lady's face was terribly gloomy. How many years had it been since she had been treated so unfairly? If she didn't teach the Fourth Princess a lesson, she really didn't know who was in charge of the county!
"Go find the Southern Kingdom delegation~"
