Chapter 40: Intolerable

Silver Wing City.

Standing on the city wall was a majestic general wearing armor, which was in sharp contrast to the surrounding soldiers wearing coarse cloth and holding long spears in their hands.

At this time, an old man on the side said to the general: "General Sun Feihu, I don't know how the imperial court plans to deal with the matter of Silver Wing City?"

Sun Feihu glanced at the messy and messy soldiers standing around the city, and sighed slightly in his heart.

He was originally a general of the imperial court and was ordered to station in Silver Wing City to train the army.

The former lord of Silver Wing City, Zhou Dahai, was originally from the Zhou family of the Senluo Dynasty. He relied on the power of Zhou Naisen and the Zhou family to prey on the people of Silver Wing City.

Although Sun Feihu couldn't stand it, Zhou Dahai was very clever when he did those dirty things. Sun Feihu had never been able to find evidence that the Zhou family was oppressing the people, but what would happen if he found it?

Sun Feihu was just a lowly general with no background and relied on military merit to reach the position of deputy general.

But just a few months ago, news came from the imperial capital that the late emperor had passed away and a new emperor had ascended the throne. While Sun Feihu was shocked, he suddenly discovered that the city lord Zhou Dahai had become unscrupulous.

Originally it was just about taking advantage of others, but after hearing that the new emperor was a good-for-nothing eighth prince, he instantly became extremely ambitious.

First, they uprooted several major families in Silver Wing City and ransacked their homes. Then they announced a new policy between the DPRK and China, and all the people's land was nationalized, forcing the people to sign an agreement.

But Sun Feihu had seen the agreement, and it clearly stated that all the land would be donated to the Zhou family for free.

In addition, Sun Feihu also discovered that Zhou Dahai began to withhold military pay, and also placed many people from the Zhou family in the city defenders.

Originally, Sun Feihu planned to find an opportunity to secretly convey this news to the court, but suddenly one day, Sun Feihu discovered that Zhou Dahai had sold a batch of supplies that were supposed to be distributed to the army to surrounding enemy countries at a low price behind his back.

Only then did Sun Feihu realize the seriousness of the matter. It seemed that the Zhou family was not only in the fish and meat village, but had even begun to collaborate with the enemy.

Seeing that the people in the city realized that they had been deceived and began to riot, Zhou Dahai actually ordered Sun Feihu to send troops to suppress it.

How could Sun Feihu help the tyrants? He immediately exposed the Zhou family's conspiracy in public. Zhou Dahai, who was so angry that he mobilized troops overnight to start massacring the troubled people.

Sun Feihu, who really couldn't stand it anymore, could only unite the people in the city to rise up and resist, beheaded Zhou Dahai, controlled all the defenders in the city, and spread the news of the riots in Silver Wing City to the outside world in an attempt to make the matter bigger and attract the attention of the court. of attention.

"Hey, I hope your majesty can know about this." Sun Feihu sighed.

The old man beside Sun Feihu also sighed slightly: "What will your Majesty do if you know about it? The power of the Senluo Dynasty's family is too huge. Even if your Majesty has the intention, I'm afraid it won't be able to change anything."

At this time, Lin Yang had entered Silver Wing City. With his and the first-level cultivation of Hejing, even the most elite troops of the Senluo Dynasty would not be able to stop Lin Yang, not to mention the defenders composed of rogue people.

At this time, there was a desolate scene everywhere in Silver Wing City, and the pedestrians coming and going on the street looked anxious and worried.

Many people seemed to have been malnourished for a long time. Their faces were sallow and skinny, and even the clothes they wore were in tatters, barely covering their bodies.

"Look, look, what age is this? The people of our Senluo Dynasty are actually so poor." Lin Yang said with some displeasure as he looked at the pedestrians on the street.

The arrival of the luxuriously dressed Lin Yang and Liu Ruolin also attracted the attention of everyone in the city, but no one came forward, and the people themselves couldn't take care of them.

At this time, not far from Lin Yang, an old woman was walking tremblingly while holding a seven or eight-year-old child.

Suddenly, the old woman's feet gave way and she fell straight towards the ground.

The child was a little overwhelmed when he saw this, and just cried on the spot: "Grandma, get up quickly!"

Liu Ruolin looked distressed and turned to look at Lin Yang. Lin Yang nodded, and Liu Ruolin ran over there.

At this time, the old woman had fallen into a coma. Lin Yang stepped forward to take a look and saw that the old woman was very angry and skinny.

"I'm hungry, kid. Where is your home? Just help your grandma go home first, and then get her some food."

The child cried louder: "Sir, we have nothing to eat. All the food in the city was burned by Zhou Dahai before he died."

"Asshole!" Lin Yang was angry.

Then Lin Yang reached out and waved his hand, and a bag of grain was taken out from the space ring. Then Lin Yang said again: "I have some here, take us home and cook it for your grandma."

Not long after, Lin Yang arrived at the home of the grandfather and grandson. Liu Ruolin quickly took the food from Lin Yang's hand and ran to the kitchen. After a while, she came back with a bowl of steaming porridge.

Watching Liu Ruolin feeding the porridge to the old woman bit by bit, the old woman's condition was obviously much better, and it didn't take long for Youyou to wake up.

At this time, the little boy also shouted: "Grandma, wake up! It was this young master and my sister who saved you!"

The old woman looked at Lin Yang awkwardly. In her opinion, it was impossible for a richly dressed young man like Lin Yang to treat a commoner like her like this.

Then the old woman knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Thank you, sir, for saving my life, and thank you, girl, for saving my life!"

Tears flowed down unconsciously as she spoke, making Liu Ruolin feel distressed again.

Lin Yang nodded, Liu Ruolin hurriedly stepped forward to help the old woman up, and then Lin Yang asked: "Auntie, are everyone in this city like you?"

The old woman said: "Hey, Master, Zhou Dahai collects extremely high taxes in the name of the court. Everyone's life is very tight. Previously, he even burned all the food in Silver Wing City. Master Tell me, why are these rich and powerful people so bad?"

After saying this, the old woman suddenly came to her senses, looked at Lin Yang who looked aristocratic, and said in fear: "I'm sorry, sir, I didn't mean to say that you... you and this girl are good people!"

"It doesn't matter."

Then the old woman said: "Hey, this child's parents were oppressed to death by that beast Zhou Dahai, leaving me, a useless old woman, and this miserable child."

Lin Yang looked at the old woman's home. It could be described as a house with only four walls. Even the house he was in now was only made of a few broken boards nailed together to barely provide shelter from the wind and rain.

Lin Yang then left a few bags of grain and said to the old woman: "Auntie, please keep these grains. The court has sent people to deal with this matter. Please believe that the court will definitely give an explanation to the people of Silver Wing City."

The old woman was a little frightened as she drove hundreds of kilograms of grain and thanked Lin Yang tremblingly.

Lin Yang walked out of the old woman's small courtyard and saw that the situation of most of the people was not much better than that of the old woman's house. It was already noon and it was time to eat, but there were only a few smoking chimneys in the city.

At that moment, a feeling of anger surged into Lin Yang's heart, Zhou family! Family!
