The Three Spirit Stones

Chapter 162: Putting an end to the chaos

"Retreat, retreat, retreat..."

"Everyone squat down and hold your head. Those who disobey will be killed..."

"The Marquis has ordered that those who smash, loot and burn will be executed on the spot..."

Rows of soldiers holding shields and weapons suppressed the mob.

They looked numerous, but in fact they were just a mob. They were immediately frightened when faced with soldiers who were smaller in number but well-equipped and well-trained.

Those who stole something threw it away immediately.

Those who did not participate immediately squatted down, hugged their heads and dared not move.

Some of them who were not afraid of death wanted to fight the soldiers head-on, but after being shot through the head by an arrow, the others immediately became obedient.

After a while, the riot of disaster victims in the industrial zone ended!

Looking at the crowd of people below, Cheng Yu said to the garrison commander Xu Yi standing next to him, "Thank you, Commander Xu."

"Fortunately you arrived in time, otherwise I would have suffered heavy losses."

"You are too polite, sir."

"After Lord Cao learned that the Marquis had taken in these disaster victims, he wrote a letter to his subordinates, asking them to keep an eye on the situation here."

"I was supported by the Duke of the County. Without the Duke of the County, I would not be where I am today. Therefore, I will pay attention to what the Duke of the County has entrusted to me."

"I have already deployed spies nearby. Today, the victims were rioting, and the informant has sent a signal, so I immediately led the troops to rescue them."

Cheng Yu thought, so that's how it is, my uncle is really foresighted!

After thanking Xu Yi, he walked down to the second floor surrounded by his guards.

We arrived at the open space in front of the office building, where a row of men were being forced by soldiers to kneel.

Looking at these disaster victims whom he had taken in for nearly two months, he could not help but get angry and started yelling at them.

"What can I do to apologize to you?"

"You suffered a disaster and came to me to ask for shelter. I agreed. I provided you with food and shelter. Have I ever treated you unfairly?"

"Do you know that you are more than 300,000 people, not 300 or 3,000?"

"Do you know how much food 300,000 people need in a day?"

"Have we been so exhausted in our search for food?"

"My railway was deliberately sabotaged, so the food could not be delivered in time. The remaining food was only enough for two or three days, so I reduced the amount,"

“Do you think you’re the only ones who don’t have enough to eat?”

"Our people are also hungry,"

"But you don't understand our difficulties at all, and you still smash, loot and burn here?"

"Is there anyone like you who repays kindness with enmity?"

These words spread far in the empty sky, and many disaster victims with consciences were ashamed and embarrassed.

They knelt on the ground and wept, and cried,

"My Lord, we are sorry for you."

"I'm sorry!"

In fact, most disaster victims have consciences.

Others kindly took him in and provided him with food and shelter, but in the end he smashed and looted his place.

Normal people know that this is wrong.

So when the thugs were about to smash the factory equipment and the employees were trying to protect it, many disaster victims came to help. Some places were set on fire, but the victims put out the fire spontaneously.

What's even more outrageous is that there are many female employees in the industrial zone, and these thugs even wanted to rape them, but they were stopped by the workers and disaster victims.

Many of the people kneeling in the open space now are perverts who are trying to rape women.

"These are the bad apples hiding among you. Do you know what they have done?"

Cheng Yu pointed at these people and said angrily, "They want to rape the female workers in our factory."

When everyone heard this, they were all shocked!

"Now,"

"There are still many bad apples among you, such as those who spread rumors and stir up trouble, such as those who smash and destroy things..."

"You identify these people,"

"I'm going to get rid of these bad apples, otherwise I won't take you in either,"

As soon as Cheng Yu finished speaking, the crowd immediately became agitated.

"It was him. He encouraged us to rob together."

"Take him out, take him out,"

"He, he, he spread rumors last night that the Marquis wanted to starve us to death and leave us without food,"

"Don't let him get away, catch him,"

For a while, the public was in an uproar, and people began to accuse each other of those who caused the trouble. Even the villains who usually bullied men and women were identified. Everyone was immediately happy!

In the end, except for the villains who raped the woman and were executed immediately, the rest were all taken to prison to await interrogation.

The storm was finally settled, and just when Cheng Yu was about to take a breath,

Another piece of bad news came.

Aunt Cai and the head maid Dongmei both fell off the cliff.

……

……

Madam Cheng and her female relatives were being escorted by the guards to the shelter on the mountain. The mountain road was rugged and they rode their horses very carefully.

When they reached the edge of a cliff, Ah Cai and her friends' horses might have been overloaded, and suddenly one of the horses stumbled, tilting its body, and both the horse and the passengers fell down.

Everyone was horrified and wanted to rescue him.

But it happened so suddenly that it was too late and they could only watch them fall.

There was no other choice, so the guards had to send someone back to report the news.

Some people went down to look for her, while others escorted Mrs. Cheng away.

"Ah~~"

"Xiao Cai~~"

As Ah Cai fell, she instinctively called out to Cai Bao Yuan Ling,

Before she finished her words, her true form suddenly appeared, wearing colorful clothes that emitted dazzling colorful light.

Her spiritual power returned, and she hugged Dongmei and teleported to a protruding rock. When she was about to jump back to the ground, her real body disappeared again.

"Xiao Cai~,"

"Can't you be a little more forceful?"

“…That’s all,”

"I haven't gotten enough sleep, how can I recover so quickly?"

"Alas! There is nothing I can do about you."

"Don't wake me up again, I'm so sleepy,"

"Oh~!"

Dongmei looked at Ah Cai, who was sighing and talking to herself, as if she had seen a ghost.

Her mind is a mess now.

They were clearly doomed to die after falling off the cliff, so how come Aunt Cai suddenly turned into a fairy and saved them?

Then I saw her talking to someone unknown?

Am I dreaming?

"Dongmei~"

Ah Cai waved her hand in front of her, and Dong Mei was startled. She knelt down on her knees with a "thump" and said, "I didn't know that my aunt was the incarnation of a god."

"Auntie, please forgive me!"

"Auntie, please forgive me!"

Dongmei was extremely frightened and kept kowtowing.

"Hey, get up quickly,"

"Even if I am a god, I am the god with the shortest lifespan."

"Stop kowtowing and think about how to get up there,"

With Ah Cai's comfort, Dong Mei's mood finally stabilized.

She looked at Acai cautiously, but still couldn't suppress her inner excitement!

I thought to myself, I must have accumulated merits for several lifetimes to be able to serve the gods!

She looked at Ah Cai and swore,

"Auntie, oh no, Fairy Auntie, don't worry, I will never reveal your identity to anyone,"

"Yeah, I know."

"I won't even tell you, Lord."

"Uh-huh,

"I am afraid of talking in my sleep,"

"Um,"

……

Cheng Yu rode his horse madly towards the mountainside!

Hearing the news, he was shocked. All the memories of him and Ah Cai flashed through his mind.

He really couldn't believe that this lovely woman was gone just like that?

Thinking of this, his heart ached and he could no longer hold back his tears.

Who knew that halfway through the journey, I received the news that Aunt Cai had been found.

found it?

Did they find her body?

When he learned that the two were still alive and had fallen on a protruding rock, Cheng Yu could no longer suppress his inner joy.

When I saw her, I immediately hugged her tightly, as if she would disappear if I let go!
