Chapter 50 The Emperor of the World (23)

"What are you doing?" Sima Yan asked with a cold face. He squinted his eyes and stared at Goudan standing in the front. He suddenly turned over from his horse and flew up. His toes lightly stepped on the shoulders of the crowd, and his right hand rolled out of his waist. The golden whip swung vigorously in the air, and the soft whip made a ho-ho sound.

Seeing this, the people following Goudan already regretted it, and backed away involuntarily.

The Sima Yan they have seen these days is easy-going and kind, where have they seen such a menacing look?
Goudan panicked and wanted to back up, but before he had time, he was whipped to the ground by Sima Yan.

The whip seemed to have eyes, so many people only got the dog's egg.

"What are you doing?" Sima Yan withdrew the bloody whip, took out a silk handkerchief from his pocket, and wiped the whip slowly.

Goudan was injured and fell to the ground, so no one responded to him.

Sima Yan put the whip back on his waist again, but he didn't even look at the dead dog who was lying on the ground.Instead, he glanced at the people present.

The several groups of people had their own thoughts, but when faced with Sima Yan's questioning, they all remained silent.

The old housekeeper said at the right time, "Master, they are here to beg for food."

"Ask for food?"

The skinny and skinny man who followed Goudan's gang saw that Sima Yan was the only one in Sima's family for a long time, so he firmly believed Goudan's statement.

Even though Sima Yan's martial arts are unrivaled, there are so many of them, how can they be stopped?

At that time, won't Sima Mansion's food be theirs?
Perhaps, when people are extremely hungry, their brains are not clear.

He raised his eyebrows and said, "Master Sima, we really can't make it through, please be kind to Master Sima and give us some food to survive."

After finishing speaking, he fell to his knees and wept bitterly.

Everyone followed suit and knelt on the ground crying and making noise, just asking for food.

The skinny, skinny man knelt on the ground and stepped forward step by step, approaching Sima Yan, "I beg Young Master Sima."

The victims behind him also spoke their own words. At first, they begged loudly, but later their words became extremely tough, with greedy eyes in their eyes. There was no doubt that they would suddenly rush in in the next second.

"Everyone, I don't have any surplus food in my house, and I just came back from the eunuch's house." After that, he said angrily, "At this time of year, no one in the city is full! And the eunuch is still extravagant, and a meal costs a hundred dollars. There are ten or so dishes, so just taste each dish and throw it away!"

Before the victims could react, he said again, "If you don't believe me! You still think my house has food, you can come to my house to have a look!"

Disaster victims, you look at me, I look at you, I don't understand what Sima Yan means?
Sima Yan turned around and pushed open the gate of the mansion, and the grand Sima family appeared in front of everyone.

The victims saw that there were many good things in the courtyard, and they all felt itchy, but soon there was the sound of running in a uniform order, and within a short while, neatly dressed, mighty and domineering, well-trained soldiers appeared one by one , standing neatly on both sides.

When the disaster victims saw it, they immediately gave up their desire to seize the Sima family's food. There were so many government soldiers, probably more than the people in the Yamen, but they couldn't compare to the people under General Wang's men.

"Everyone follow me to take a look!" After saying that, Sima Yan walked into the door and gestured for everyone to come in.

But when everyone looked at the government soldiers on both sides, how dare they go in, for fear that they would be ordered to enter or not?
But Sima Yan was determined to let everyone go in and have a look, "Everyone, please come in, my Sima family will definitely live and die with everyone, and have no secrets."

He looked around and said, "If any of you can find food, that food will be his!"

As soon as Sima Yan said this, all the victims looked eager to try.

"Please come in."

Everyone rushed in, their eyes kept rolling around Sima's house, trying to find food, because there were always chilly government soldiers beside them, so they didn't dare to move around, just looked with their eyes.

Sima Yan took the victims to search almost all the places in their homes, but the victims found nothing.

"Everyone, do you believe me? My family has no food left."

One of the victims asked, "Master Sima, what will you do tomorrow? What will you eat tomorrow?"

From their point of view, how could these charming young masters from wealthy families be able to live without hunger?
Sima Yan looked around at the crowd, "Everyone, there is a granary in Jiangling City, and the grain in it is enough for the whole city's people for a year, but the prefect has been reluctant to open the granary for a long time! And the prefect's house has countless grains, vegetables and meat. , but you don’t want to take it out! Your relief food, why hasn’t it arrived? It’s clear that Wang Zhi has embezzled all your things!”

"Living in luxury with your stuff! It's abominable!"

"Wang Zhi turned a blind eye to the city full of hunger! He is not worthy to be our prefect!"

Everyone was very angry, "This dog official is really hateful!"

"I knew he was not a good person!"

"I'm going to find the dog officer! Let him hand over our relief food!"

The anger intensified, and Sima Yan stopped it in time, "Everyone, you go to Wang Zhi without a plan, and you will find nothing at all."

He glanced around and increased the volume, "Would you like to listen to me?"

"Master Sima, please tell me."

"Wang Zhi's actions are against the law of nature. Why don't we turn against him and make our own decisions? The grain in the granary is enough for everyone to eat through the cold winter."

"We listen to Master Sima!"

"I don't think it's better to let the Sima family be responsible for distributing food to us."

"I think it's okay. The Sima family is unparalleled in righteousness and justice. I trust them."

Everyone expressed their willingness one after another. Of course, it was Tuo who took the lead, and he inserted himself into the crowd early to lead the rhythm.

Sima Yan led a mighty crowd, almost half of the entire city's population, flocked to the prefect's mansion. Someone had already quietly reported the movement here to Wang Zhi.

As soon as Wang Zhi heard this, his face turned pale with shock, he knew that Sima Yan was restless!What is he going to do with so many rioters?
He quickly thought of General Wang, and ordered his men to find General Wang to suppress the rioters, but he panicked and asked the housekeeper, "Did you reply?"

There was an inexplicable smile on the corner of the butler's mouth, "My lord, the people over there have sent a message asking you to meet them at Wuyin Mountain."

"Mist hidden mountain?" Wang Zhi thought for a while, it was a mountain near the city.

"Then let's go."

Wang Zhi's things have already been cleaned up, so he can easily run away at any time. It's a pity that the food is gone. If it didn't happen suddenly, he could obviously transport the food out of the city.

Sima Yan led the troops towards the prefect's mansion, but Wang Zhi ran too fast, and when they arrived, the building would have already been empty.

Sima Yan used Wang Zhi's home to settle the victims in an orderly manner, and ordered his own soldiers to cook a rich meal with ingredients from Wang Zhi's home for everyone to eat. Many women among the victims joined the cooking team.
