Chapter 155
"Open the warehouse!"

"We have the right to know the truth!"

……

In the next scene, Qiao Lei was even more confused.

Because that member of the Shadow Guard personally raised his arms and shouted, leading the angry sea of ​​people around him to shout for the truth.

The endless sea of ​​people surrounded the city lord's palace. They endured hunger and cold just to get the food to survive this abyss.

Judging from the records of the spiritual warriors, the abyss will pass in another month and a half.

At that time, the pine nut forest as warm as spring will come.

Although the food in the pine nut forest is not too much, it is not dangerous. Everyone can basically fill their stomachs if they work hard.Then there is the most popular golden leaf prairie. At that time, if you work hard to harvest, everyone will be able to bid farewell to the period of hunger.

One and a half months!

Whether it is long or short, just when everyone learned that the cold abyss that had endured for a month and a half was about to leave, before they had time to be happy, more terrible news appeared: the warehouses in Syracuse were in short supply of food!
As of yesterday, the warehouses had put up signs saying that there was no other food except for a very small number of aged meat jerky!

How does this make everyone live?
Fortunately, the spirit warriors can venture into the abyss to hunt some monsters and come back to survive this period of time until the pine nut forest comes.

But what about ordinary people?
Are you really going to starve to death?
People who are hungry, cold, and angry are more likely to lose their minds. Some people began to raise their arms and shouted on the streets, saying that ordinary people don't know about the food shortage. How could the city lords and elders not know?

They must have prepared enough food in advance to ensure that they and the sheltered people can survive this dark period safely.

Why should ordinary people starve to death?

And those high-ranking elders who have not made any contributions can eat and drink and be at ease?

Since there is no way out, let's die together!
Even if the food they store is not enough to be shared by so many people, at least no one dares to steal it in public, and they can get some for the elderly and children at home.

What's more, what if a lot of food can be found!
Don't we all have hope to survive this abyss?

As a result, more and more people took to the streets;
The slogans were shouted higher and higher.

A sea of ​​people came from all directions, surrounded the city lord's mansion and the five elders' mansions, and asked them to give an explanation to the people of Syracuse.

The blizzard is getting colder and colder, but the anger of the crowd is getting higher and higher.

They shouted and even wanted to rush up!

Just when the guards of the City Lord's Mansion were about to be unable to stop the crowd, the gate of the mansion suddenly opened.

The crowd who shouted loudly seemed to press the off button, and their voices became smaller and smaller and gradually quieted down.In fact, everyone knows that the city lord has been very kind to the residents since he took office.

Repairing houses, laying bridges and roads, the city lord has really done a lot of good things for everyone.

Nowadays, most people still feel a little guilty when they come here to demonstrate when they run out of food.

The door opened, and Yu Chengye in military uniform came out with a murderous giant blade.

Seeing this, the people in the circle closest to him hurriedly backed away, and some sharp-eyed people even noticed that the giant blade was still stained with blood!
"Coward!"

"We're opening the door now. Are you doing something shameful?"

Qiao Lei found that among the crowd scattered in different directions, someone took the lead and shouted confidently.

The people's brains became hot, and they all shouted to ask the city lord to explain why he hadn't come forward for a long time, and to answer how to deal with the food crisis.

"Everyone!" Yu Chengye's voice was loud.

The strength of a perfect spirit warrior should not be underestimated, coupled with the majesty of the city lord.

Just by opening his mouth, everyone shut up.

"Xyue City is in crisis, and there is no more food in the warehouses." Yu Chengye looked around and said in a low voice: "In recent years, our main source of food - the Golden Leaf Grassland, has not produced well.

After many years of recuperation, Syracuse's population has reached a peak.

The spiritual warriors who can awaken are only one-tenth of what they used to be, which leads to a shortage of food in the warehouse year after year.

As early as last year, I was aware of today's crisis.

However, no matter how the city's management is reformed, it cannot change the fact that it cannot make ends meet.

Didn't you ask me why I haven't shown up for so long? "

He raised the blood-stained giant blade above his head to let more people see, "Because as a perfect spirit warrior, although I have old injuries, I am still working hard to get more food.

After the abyss descended, most ordinary spirit warriors were unable to explore.

And as the city lord, I naturally have to lead by example!

Therefore, I have been killing monsters in the abyss before. You can look at the blood on my giant blade. This is all from the monsters in the abyss!
I heard that everyone wanted an explanation, so I hurried back from the abyss.

It's just that the food they brought back was not much, and it had already been put into the warehouse in the east of the city. "

As soon as this remark came out, the people in the snowstorm became even more silent.

Many people already had dejected expressions and were obviously giving up the confrontation and wanting to go back.

There is no ability to go out hunting, the warehouse is empty, and even the city lord has gone into the abyss to find a way to hunt monsters, what else can be said?

Such a respectable city lord, what else can he blame him?

"We want to see the evidence!"

"Yes! You said that the production has been reduced in recent years, and the warehouse can't make ends meet. Show me the evidence!"

"We want to see the warehouse statement!"

……

After a moment of silence, the shouts of leaders came from every corner.

The three of them became a tiger, and soon the public's emotions were ignited and incited, and the target of the attack was turned to the accounts of various warehouses.

Yu Chengye looked solemn. After hearing their shouts getting louder and louder, he nodded and said loudly: "Okay! Since everyone wants to see it, I will take the lead in checking the warehouses one by one for publicity! No matter what, everyone must I believe I am trying to find ways to help everyone get through this harsh winter, please believe me!"

Yu Chengye, who was full of murderous and bloody aura, took the lead in striding forward, behind him was a surging crowd, with countless torches lighting up the night and rushing towards the nearest warehouse.

Qiao Lei looked bewildered, he didn't know what the city lord was going to do.

What's the use of checking the accounts now that the warehouses are empty?

Even if someone has embezzled and misappropriated it, can it be exchanged for food if it is found out now?
Qiao Lei, who was full of doubts, rushed forward with the crowd. The crisis in front of him had obviously overwhelmed his curiosity about the foreign things in the safe. He had to figure out what kind of medicine was being sold in the gourd of the city lord!

In the Sanhua Warehouse which is the closest to the City Lord's Mansion, all management personnel are on standby.

The city lord personally checked the accounts, and the people also elected their own representatives.

A dozen people in the room were looking at the ledger page by page, and there were full-time staff doing calculations non-stop; outside the house were residents waiting silently.

Anyway, when I get home, I'm starving with nothing to eat, so I might as well wait here, maybe I can find a few rats that spit out some food, and maybe I can share some of it!

If someone's house is raided and everyone grabs it, you can still get something to eat by running ahead.

Just go home and wait?

Heh, then really wait to starve to death!
Everyone was incited by this fluke, and no one was willing to leave.The night is getting deeper and the sky is getting colder and colder, but the crowd outside is getting more and more gathered!
