Release that Witch - Chapter 467
[Chapter 460 Snake Tooth (Part 2)]
But Snake Fang didn’t expect that something even more unbelievable was yet to come – the speaker’s next news made him unable to move his feet anymore.
“Five days later, that is, the second week of the first month of spring, the city hall will distribute relief rations in the square! Everyone can receive two servings of hot wheat porridge here, one at noon and one in the evening, townspeople, thank you Please be merciful, Your Highness the Prince!”
As soon as the words came out, the crowd suddenly became commotion.
“God, Gore didn’t lie, there is such a thing in the announcement!”
“Yes, I just wanted to confirm.”
“Did I hear you right? Every day there is wheat porridge?”
“Are you coming too? Your family Don’t you still have a lot of wheat and jerky?”
“That’s two free ones too, and the guardian didn’t let me pick them up, didn’t you listen to what they said, everyone!”
“My lord!” Suddenly Someone asked loudly, “Is the barley porridge really free? When will it be delivered?”
This is also a question that most people are concerned about. Everyone stopped discussing and looked at the noble attendants in unison.
The latter waited until the anticipation of the onlookers reached its peak, and then said calmly, “That’s right! The oatmeal is indeed distributed for free, and it will continue until the end of the month of demons! Go tell the news to more people.” Neighbors and friends, the promise made by His Royal Highness will definitely be fulfilled!”
Hundreds of people erupted instantly, but Snake Fang still couldn’t believe his ears.
Free food, what does that mean?
They can temporarily get rid of the threat of Kanash, and no longer have to worry about starving to death in the icy snow—no, not just them, all mice can easily get food, so Wang and Belly will be unable to control the following tail!
Kanash will never sit back and watch such a situation happen, what will he do?
Send people to disperse the crowd, disrupt the porridge distribution scene… or bribe the city hall officials to pour all the porridge into the Chishui River?
However, Snake Ya also noticed that the speaker mentioned “His Royal Highness” repeatedly, that is to say, it was the legendary fourth prince who asked for relief rations this time, not the previous duke or five major families.
Will he let these rat kings do whatever they want, or is he really different from other noble lords?
He didn’t want to trust any nobles, and the scene where the white paper was cheated was still vivid in his memory.
But there was another voice in my heart that kept asking myself, what if it was true, what if… it was true?
Fortunately, this doubt didn’t last long, because the elk attendant on the stage had already started to announce the next news – he originally thought that these decrees were just new tricks that the lords came up with to torment the townspeople, unlike himself, who lived in no fixed place. The waif had nothing to do with it, but he was extremely surprised by the first two news, and the third news pointed directly at the rat group.
“Citizens, listen up, your good days are coming!” The speaker first stabilized the noisy crowd with one sentence, and then said word by word, “Five days later, that is, from the day of the porridge, His Royal Highness will launch a crackdown on crime in Changsong Fortress, including eliminating black street organizations, cracking down on theft and robbery, and all illegal acts that threaten the lives and property of city residents! At that time, everyone should not stay in the black street, and do not go to Mixed places such as pubs and casinos to avoid unnecessary harm!”
“The order of the fortress needs to be maintained by all city residents. Now the city hall is recruiting manpower, including security personnel and police officers. I will explain it to you in detail below. Recruitment requirements!”
Snake Tooth didn’t have the heart to listen anymore, he got out of the crowd and ran to the campfire, “Quick, let’s go back!”
“Have you finished listening?” Kui rubbed her hands, reluctantly said, ” You should warm up before you go.”
“No, let’s go now!” He said anxiously.
“What’s going on?” Joe heard something was wrong.
“I’ll explain to you on the way,” Snake Fang stomped, “We have to go back quickly, or we will die when Kanash hears the news from others first!”
…
The gathering place of rats in the West District is located in the depths of the Wuwei Alley, in a two-story private house.
Kanash is a one-eyed strong man with a ferocious face, and his temper and methods are as cruel as his appearance. Snake Fang has seen him nail a subordinate who has messed up to the wall, and then whip him to death.
In addition, he controls the food supply of several rat groups in the block, and no one dares to show any disrespect in front of him.
The same is true for Snake Fang, he knelt down in front of the other party carefully, and repeated the news he had inquired about.
“The city lord wants to attack us?” Kanash frowned, “What kind of wind is blowing?”
“…not the city lord,” Snake Fang cautiously reminded, “That person has always been talking about His Royal Highness.”
“You What the hell!” He spat, “No matter how big a nobleman is, it won’t work well in someone else’s territory. This is the Longsong Fortress, not Border Town or the capital, and without the approval of the Elk family, he can’t do anything. Yes. What about the nominal guardian of the western border? Just look at who is sitting in the castle, that king is still in charge of Graycastle in name, who cares about his orders?”
“You’re right,” Kanash said. A woman beside her said coquettishly, “Besides, even if the sky changes, it doesn’t matter much to us. Nobles are nobles, mice are mice, even though they both live in the same city, in fact they can’t be regarded as One kind of person.”
“A mouse is a mouse? I like to hear that,” Kanash pinched the woman’s buttocks, “but the second news is a bit strange. According to the past situation, nobles want to earn a good reputation by releasing food. We will be notified in advance. And it will be released in a limited amount, why does it sound like they are going to feed the whole city this time?”
No one can answer this question, UU Reading www.sonicmtl.com But Snake Fang knows, this time At that time, everyone was thinking about the two free bowls of wheat porridge.
“Could it be that… the master above wants to get some benefits from Mr. Bloody Hand?” the woman smiled lightly.
“Who knows,” Kanash shrugged, “I’ll ask the boss later, only he knows about matters related to nobles.”
The so-called bloody hand is the king of the western district. I heard that he has close contacts with some minor nobles.
In a sense, he can no longer be regarded as a pure mouse, but an “underground nobleman” without a title-in fact, every king has similar connections.
Thinking of this, Snake Fang couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief. He knew that Kanash’s little lover was right. Nobles have existed for hundreds of years, and so have rats. No matter how the above changes, the underground world always has its own set of rules… His Royal Highness is also a nobleman, so what can he change?
“By the way, I know what you are all thinking,” Kanash sneered, “Want to try the wheat porridge distributed by the city hall? Until that day, everyone must stay in this house, and no one is allowed to go. Did you hear that? If someone dares to steal food behind my back, I guarantee that he will never be able to eat for the rest of his life!” (To be continued.)
