Chapter 981: Twists and Turns

　　Improved ByeByeHeat pads were sewn onto Shen Qingqian's chest and back, and on her legs were the black-tech thermal pants given by the system when she signed in. Even without a cape, she wouldn't feel too cold as long as she didn't stand in the cold wind.

　　But it was not the case for the people around her. Their noses were all red from the cold, and tears and snot were falling from their eyes from time to time.

　　Shen Qingqian could only imitate these people, rubbing her hands, sniffing her nose, sneezing, etc. from time to time to make herself look less weird.

　　The drum outside the government office was beating, and normally someone should come out to question people soon. However, today Shen Qingqian and these people stood outside the government office for two quarters of an hour, and no one came out.

　　The villagers looked at each other in bewilderment, and some of them shouted impatiently: "Are the government trying to be cowards?"

　　"That's right! We never defaulted on paying taxes when they collected them. Can we just ignore it when they break their promise?"

　　"Fellow villagers, if no one comes out, let's just rush in!"

　　"Go in, go in!"

　　""

The crowd suddenly became agitated, and the few people at the front were completely unable to calm the people behind them. At this point, they didn't want to calm them down either.

　　The Chenzhou government had previously arrested them and prevented them from going to Ezhou. They had promised to distribute supplies to them, but this was not done at all. If they continue like this, they will either starve to death or freeze to death.

　　At this moment, the villagers only had one thought in their minds: they must seek an explanation. If that didn't work, they would find a chance to escape to Ezhou!

　　Shen Qingqian became nervous when she saw these people were about to attack the government office gate.

　　As the saying goes, people should not fight officials. These people rushed in with bare hands. Aren't they just delivering food to others?

　　At this moment, the door of the government office suddenly opened, and a group of soldiers armed with weapons came out lazily.

　　"What are you arguing about? In this horrible weather, why are you running here instead of staying at home?" The leading officer said, glancing at the villagers standing in front of him.

　　Someone in the crowd immediately loudly stated the purpose of their visit today, "We just want an explanation. Do you government officials still care about our lives?"

　　If no one cared, they wouldn't just wait here to die. Ezhou is open to accepting them!

　　"Hey, who are you kidding here?" The officer looked around at everyone, "You guys think you can sue the prince? If you haven't woken up yet, I advise you to go back and get some sleep first."

　　As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd suddenly became quiet for a moment, and then some people started to make a noise.

　　"Aren't you bullying us? You detained us and didn't let us go to Ezhou. You promised to give us food and warm clothes, but you only gave us the worst food mixed with stones. There is no clothes at all. You want to freeze us to death!"

　　"Yes! If you can't do it, why are you stopping us from finding a way out? We won't accept it!"

　　"Either give us something or let us go!"
