I don’t know if it was because the people of these county towns were too brave or had come along all the way to make them figure out that they should not do anything randomly. Although they were crowded and powerful at this time, when facing Li Ling, they did not immediately rush up to take action, but tried to convince him to hand over the food.

Even though Li Ling had rejected their request at this time, these people still did not act recklessly, but continued to shout: "Even so, the food is ours. If you don't hand over the food today, don't leave!"

Several people in the crowd quickly exchanged their eyes, and then several of them shouted loudly: "Friends, what's the reason to say about such a bastard? Let's hurry in and steal his food, and there are hundreds of thousands of stones of food there!"

"Friends, he doesn't give us a way out, and we don't have to leave a way out for him! Rush over!"

"Roll!" With this silence, a man had already swung a wooden stick as thick as an arm in his hand, and rushed straight towards the gate.

Influenced by him, someone finally followed him with the shouts. Although most of them had no weapons in their hands, even if they just clenched their fists and rushed forward fiercely, the momentum was still quite terrifying. Once Li Ling led people to obstruct them, they would swallow them all alive.

"Young Master..." Seeing this, Li Moyun immediately approached Li Ling and protected him tightly behind him. At the same time, his hand moved, and his sword was unsheathed across his chest. As long as someone really dared to attack the Youth Master, he would definitely make the other party splatter on the spot!

Seeing this, the others looked solemn and held the weapons in their hands tightly. Although they were all masters of the imperial guards who were one or ten, they were still a little upset when facing hundreds of enemies.

However, Li Ling seemed quite calm at this time, and glanced in the crowd, and while retreating, he said, "Yang Zhen, have you seen it clearly?"

"See clearly!" With this promise, Yang Zhen, who had previously protected him, rushed out with a quick step, and immediately met the first strong man who rushed up the stairs, with a fierce look on his face.

This person's offensive seemed fierce, but in Yang Zhen's eyes, he had a lot of loopholes. He only turned his body and did not even slow down his speed. He easily avoided the stick that came from the head. At the same time, the knife in his hand sheathed out and pressed heavily against the opponent's lower abdomen. The moment the opponent hummed and bent down because of the pain, the handle of the knife suddenly raised again, hitting the jaw with a bang, hitting everyone flying, and then hitting the ground with a bang.

Before the man landed, blood and broken teeth spurted out, and smashed the crowd behind him with his rolling body, which scared the people who rushed towards him with fists and screamed, and immediately stopped. They really didn't expect these guards to be so cruel and powerful.

Taking advantage of their moment of silence, Yang Zhen had already pounced on him decisively. The knife was still in the sheath, but he was dancing whirring, pointing to the east and west like an iron whip, and was elusive in the crowd, beating five or six men to the point of vomiting blood and overturning, and there was no enemy in one.

Everyone's momentum was completely gone, and they could only turn their heads and run back. However, in terms of speed, Yang Zhen's opponent was still caught up by him and knocked down three or four people in a row. Only then did he stop the rushing and stand up high below the steps, with a stance of being a man who can't pass by ten thousand men.

It was not until he stopped chasing that everyone's escape was paused, and then they turned around and looked back with a look of panic. For a moment, they didn't know what to react. Because the scene in front of them was too tragic, all the twelve men were knocked unconscious on the ground, some of them were covered in blood, some of their hands and feet broke, and they were all seriously injured, but only one of them took action.

More importantly, as these people were knocked over and fainted, hundreds of people had completely lost the leader and completely became a mess of sand. They didn't know what they should say, what they should do, whether they should advance or retreat...

Xue Jiong in the rear was originally planning to stop Yang Zhen from hurting others again, but when he saw him stop suddenly and then looked at the reactions of the people, he suddenly understood the key points and whispered: "Can you say..."

"Yes, those who were knocked down by Yang Zhen were all ulterior motives who were deliberately hidden in the crowd. However, they were still too careless and had too many flaws. They were all exposed just now." Li Ling commented with a smile, "They were the most clamoring just now, and the more important thing is that the others were all yellow-faced and thin. They had red light on their faces. You can tell at a glance that they were not ordinary people who were suffering from disasters."

After listening to the explanation, Xue Jiong was very impressed. At such a chaotic and critical moment, Boss Ling and his men were still so calm and their eyes were so accurate... Who are they? It is definitely not something ordinary businessmen can do!

When he was in deep thought, Li Ling had already stepped forward and his tone was eased a little: "Dear Guang'an villagers, can you hear a few words?"

Seeing that Yang Zhen did not kill again, the people who were already afraid did not disperse, and only looked at Li Ling who was speaking in surprise. At this time, they were oppressed by force and majesty, which made them dare not be arrogant anymore, and they all shut up and listened.

Seeing this, Li Ling also continued decisively and went straight to the topic: "I have heard you explain it clearly just now. It was because I realized that the food that should belong to you was obtained by me that I would gather in anger and wanted to regain the food. I would not say that there is any mistake in your approach. The only thing I have to say is that you have thought that you have been used by someone?"

"You...what do you mean? What do you mean we are being used?" asked a man in the crowd with courage.

"It's very simple. Please think carefully. Is it really reasonable for them to say that I took your food? If these foods really belong to you, why didn't they send them to you earlier, but until now, the food has arrived at me? To be honest, I bought these foods at a high price, and it is definitely not why you robbed them!

"Also, don't you find it strange? I, a foreign businessman, have no reliance in Suizhou. Where can I get the ability to obtain food through regular channels? Am I not afraid of the government's pursuit?"

"Say... maybe you've bribed the government long ago?"

"That is, as long as you can afford the money, the people in the county government will definitely be convenient for you."

Faced with their doubts, Li Ling smiled again: "Is that so? Then Ling asked, "Since I have already colluded with the government, why did they not show up today and stop you on your way here? Even until now, no one of the conscripts arrived. Is this reasonable?"

This really reminded everyone. They looked around and saw that there was no one in the public. Suddenly, many people felt doubts in their hearts and began to feel that Li Ling's words made some sense.

Li Ling seized the opportunity and pointed to the people who fell to the ground in front of him and said, "There are also these people. Do you think I have let them knock them down? It's not for revenge, but because they have problems themselves. If you don't believe it, you can take a closer look at these people. Do you know their origins?"

Seeing that Li Ling really didn't mean to attack them anymore, and said this again, a few brave men came forward and looked at the injured men on the ground carefully, and then frowned deeply: "They... they really don't seem to be from the east of our city..."

"None of them are from our Willow Lane..."

"It's not ours..."

Just now, everyone was just chaotic and came to the warehouse. With the excitement of the crowd, it was naturally impossible to pay attention to the appearance of the people around them, and they didn't know who they were. They thought they were neighbors or something. But now, the situation is completely different. After careful observation, their expressions became more serious, and they believed Li Ling's statement three more.

Just as Li Ling was about to point out their identities, one of them suddenly screamed: "I know him... Isn't he the guard at Mr. Shu's house? He pushed me a few days ago..."

This shout immediately attracted more people to come forward to check the appearance of the fallen person, and then similar screams rose in turn:

"This is the guard of Mr. Zhou's house. He beat me back then, why did he come with us?"

"This is from Mr. Li's family, and it's the most fierce..."

The successive shouts made everyone more and more uneasy. Some of the people who were turning their minds quickly had already guessed something and did not dare to have any eye contact with Li Ling anymore.

Li Ling also seized the opportunity and said loudly: "You are all testifying. I think what I will say next is even more convincing. In fact, you were deceived and used by them. To be honest, there is indeed a competition between me and many merchants in your county. They have won the food they are determined to get, so they thought of using this trick to deal with me. You have not known the truth, but have become their accomplices.

"In fact, what really makes you unable to eat is the wealthy businessmen and gentry in this county. It is because they colluded with some corrupt officials and detained your food and sold it, so that you can't even get the little relief grain you deserve. They can only survive on a little porridge every day!

"But now, they are turning black and white, pushing all their sins to me, a serious businessman. They are really shameless! What you really should resist should be those bad businessmen and bad gentry!"

In terms of eloquence and incitement of discourse, Li Ling will only be stronger than the gentry in those places. As soon as these words are said, they are becoming more and more eager to move. It is just because they were deceived by someone just now, and they are still a little suspicious and can't help but shout, "Is there any evidence for you to say this?"
