Chapter 21 The Two Sides Confrontation
Chen Yi slowly walked out from behind the guards, looking at the group of men in black, a flash of admiration flashed in his eyes.

"Are you the bandits from the nearby village?"

Chen Yi's calm and calm voice wafted around.

The leading bandit narrowed his eyes, and a dull voice came from under the black cloth.

"You guys are cheating and not being charmed?"

Wang Chizheng took a step forward with a fierce look in his eyes: "You are devoid of conscience. You dare to snatch these food for disaster relief. You are really daring. Don't you even care about the people here?"

Since Wang Chizheng came here, his mood has been fluctuating greatly.

And they hate these mountains and rivers that want to seize their food.

The bandit in the lead heard what Wang Chizheng said, looked Wang Chizheng up and down, snorted coldly, and said disdainfully.

"I don't care about the people, what qualifications do you have to say about me? It looks like you have never suffered, how do you know the suffering of the people? Anyone can say beautiful words, and how do you know that this food has entered our hands? Can't save the victims?!"

Xu Wanjun stepped forward and stopped Wang Chizheng.

"I am the governor of Longxi. This is the disaster relief food and grass that I worked hard to return to the imperial capital. I have not given up on Longxi, and the court has not given up either. So until now, you really think that what you are doing is robbing wealth. Helping the poor is an act of justice?”

After Xu Wanjun finished speaking, he shouted loudly with a dark face.

"Come here! Tie up these bandits who dare to hijack them and are feeding food. If anyone resists, they will be punished on the spot."

"Yes!"

The surrounding guards quickly narrowed the encirclement and advanced step by step with weapons.

The bandits' eyes were fierce, and under the bright red torch, they were like wild beasts, revealing their cruel and ferocious sides.

Seeing this, Chen Yi frowned slightly, and immediately stepped forward: "Wait a minute."

It was you who all stopped, but turned to look at Wang Chizheng.

Wang Chizheng nodded: "Wait a minute, listen to Mr. Chen, what do you want to ask these bandits."

Chen Yi exhaled lightly, turned his head and nodded towards Wang Chizheng with a smile, before facing the bandits again.

At this moment, a person next to the bandit leader took a few steps back and entered the grain depot.

There was a flash of understanding in Chen Yi's eyes.

"I already knew that you were coming tonight, so I moved the food and grass in advance, and you don't have to use the food and grass behind you as a threat, it's useless."

As soon as Chen Yi finished speaking, the bandit in the lead immediately turned around.

The person who had left just now came out after a while, and quietly approached the leader of the bandits, muttering a few words in a low voice.

Chen Yi didn't panic at all, because what he said was true.

Long before falling asleep, after deciding that he was going back to Beijing to make tools for digging wells, the three of Chen Yi and the others began to discuss this matter about bandits.

Of course, it was Chen Yi who brought it up. The two people who were hiding behind the tree had already made Chen Yi suspicious, and during this time, basically all the rankings had already had porridge, and their lives were basically guaranteed.

After guessing, Chen Yi felt that if he was a bandit, it was time to do something.

So he had been discussing with Xu Wanjun and Wang Zhizheng every night in the past few days, perfecting their deployment and guessing what methods the bandits would use to rob food and grass.

Coincidentally, it was tonight.

Before, Chen Yi was a little hesitant to return to Beijing. It was precisely because of this incident that these bandits were not dealt with, and Chen Yi was always a little uneasy.

It's just that Xu Wanjun and Wang Chizheng have assured him that the bandits can be dealt with safely, so Chen Yi made up his mind to return to the imperial capital.

But now it seems that these bandits are quite considerate, and they came directly while they were in, which can be regarded as taking Chen Yi's mind off.

"I know that you are not willing to become bandits, but whoever has a good job, who would do such a thing? Not to mention the reputation of the family, it will also be discriminated against and bring disaster to future generations."

Chen Yi saw that the bandits on the opposite side already knew that the grain and grass were fake, and they remained calm after that. They kept silent and planned to strike first.

I don't know which word touched those bandits.

The leading bandit took a step forward, with endless sarcasm in his eyes.

"Don't tell me that there are so many things that are not there, that you have to be killed or cut, just one sentence, who is showing such hypocrisy? There are no ordinary people to support you now."

There was a smile on the corner of Chen Yi's mouth, but he didn't take the words to heart. He wasn't sure when the bandits would act, and he was worried that it would panic the people, so only a few of them knew about it.

At this moment, the people in this village were really drugged and fell into a coma, so it was convenient for Chen Yi and the others to prevent them from being hurt by bandits.

"It's true that no one cheers me up, but we do these things not to gain the gratitude of the people, but because this is what we should do and what we have to do."

Beside the leading bandit, a black man stepped forward and pointed at Chen Yi and said.

"In other words, it sounds good. When the drought came, where were you? Where were you when people died? Where were you when those corrupt officials were plundering the people's fat and anointing? Now let's pretend to be kind and tell you, it's late."

Chen Yi sighed deeply.

"Of course I know that the common people have suffered a lot of grievances, and I wish I could have three heads and six arms at this time, and save the common people from the fire and water. But I am a mortal after all, and all I can do is to do the things in front of me well."

The surrounding area was very quiet, only Chen Yi's voice echoed around.

"I don't want to see you all injured today. I know that you are all warriors. When the court was not present, you saved these people, gave them some rations, and made them survive the difficulties. I know that .”

What Chen Yi said moved the bandits a little.

Chen Yi took a few steps forward, Wang Chizheng was worried and wanted to stop him, Chen Yi shook his head.

When he stood in front of these bandits, he raised his left hand.

"I, Chen Yi, the fourth-rank minister of the Great Wu Dynasty, hereby swear that I have found a way to save Longxi. From now on, Longxi will no longer have to fear drought, and the weather will be smooth, and the people will live and work in peace and contentment. If there is a thunderbolt from the sky, there will be no good death. !"

Chen Yi's voice was sonorous and powerful, with firm and courageous strength, shocking everyone around him at the same time.

In this day and age, people still believed in the power of oaths. What's more, Chen Yi's oath did not leave him any room at all, and the bandit leader slowly lowered his guard.

"Okay! We believe, can you let us go?"

Chen Yi blinked, smiled and shook his head.
