Daming: The system rejected my request for salted fish

Chapter 1019

Who is Shen Lin?

He was a member of the Jinyiwei, and after following Wei Wu, he not only exterminated families but also carried out massacres on the battlefield.

To put it bluntly, Shen Lin has probably seen more dead people than Zhang Dengyue has seen in his life.

The number of people who died at Shen Lin's hands was countless times greater than the number of Zhang Dengyue and his entire Zhang family, going back eighteen generations.

Even the civil servants in the court could hardly withstand Shen Lin's murderous aura, let alone Zhang Dengyue, a mere Jinshi.

Therefore, even though Zhang Dengyue was furious, he didn't dare to show even a flame after being glared at by Shen Lin.

The obstacle at the door was cleared, and Shen Lin walked out of the front hall. A dozen yamen runners behind him followed him, escorting people.

From the front hall to the main gate of the mansion, no one from the Zhang family, whether the master or the servants, dared to step forward to stop them.

At this point, Shen Lin felt that there should be no problem, as long as he brought the person back to the prefectural government office.

But when they walked out of the Zhang family's gate, they found that the gate was filled with a large crowd of people holding various farm tools.

These people gathered together and blocked the way out, forcing Shen Lin and his companions to stop.

What made Shen Lin feel a little strange was that most of these people holding farm tools did not have angry expressions on their faces.

Instead, there was some confusion in their eyes, as if they themselves didn't know why they came.

"Let go!"

Just as Shen Lin was hesitating, someone among the people opposite suddenly shouted loudly.

Then, the people also reacted and immediately started shouting.

"Let go."

"Let go."

"Let go."

To be honest, when Shen Lin heard the people shouting to release the prisoners, he didn't feel any ripples in his heart.

He also came from the bottom of society and knew what the people really wanted to do together. The momentum would definitely not be what it is now.

But the problem is that although these people are shouting in unison, their momentum is not even as strong as the person who spoke first.

Because they did not shout with emotion, but instead gave people the feeling that they were shouting just for the sake of shouting.

This strange feeling was not only felt by Shen Lin, but even Lao Bai beside him was looking at these people with a strange expression.

After a moment, seeing that Shen Lin didn't say anything and didn't act as strong as before, Lao Bai whispered something.

"Sir, I'm afraid these farmers and tenants didn't come here on their own accord, and they don't even know why they're here!"

"Well, he must have been forced to come here by the Zhang family."

Shen Lin nodded in response, then looked across again, feeling a little helpless.

If they were Zhang family's servants guarding the house, Shen Lin would not give them any face and would just rush up and knock them all down.

The problem is that these people in front of him are all poor and vulnerable people from the lower class, and Shen Lin can't bring himself to do anything to them.

Just as Shen Lin and Lao Bai were talking, another shout came from the crowd opposite.

Perhaps he felt that Shen Lin was frightened by this scene, so the content of his shouting this time was obviously much more outrageous.

"Shameless bastards, why don't you let them go? Folks, let's catch these thieves and take them to the yamen to ask the prefect to judge the case!"

Last time, when this voice shouted to release the people, the people around would shout along.

But this time when he shouted, the people did not follow him, but stood there at a loss.

They are all honest farmers who only know how to farm, not city thugs, so how can they just start fighting?

What's more, the people on Shen Lin's side were wearing yamen runners' uniforms and were obviously government officials, so they didn't dare to act recklessly.

Seeing that the people around him did not agree with him, the person who shouted was immediately ready to speak again.

However, at this moment, Shen Lin had a cold face and walked directly towards the crowd.
