our family is gone

Chapter 126
"You guys are breaking the law, do you know? Don't do stupid things." He dispersed the circle of people, but the parents who lost their children didn't agree with him at all. Instead, they burst out with strong resentment and accused him of abuse. .

"You murderer!"

"You return my daughter!"

"It's all your fault!"

The sheriff led a team to kidnap people, and most of the sheriffs under him participated in it, which inevitably made the townspeople lose their trust in the sheriff, and the situation quickly spread among the crowd.

The scene just now aroused the quiet animal nature of the townspeople, and this anger had nowhere to vent after the death of the gangster. At this time, the sheriff who broke in became their target because of his identity.

The masses are blind, and following the herd is one of the manifestations of human sociality. At this time, they can't tell the difference between good and bad, or they don't want to distinguish at all, they just want to vent their power.

To vent the anger that the social environment has accumulated in their hearts for a long time, they don't care whether the knife is aimed at the good or the weak, anyway, at this moment they become people holding the butcher knife.

If this force is not guided, it will evolve into chaos and spread further, but as long as someone stands up and gives proper guidance, it can be eliminated.

It's a pity that the magistrate can't do anything at this time, he can only stand there and be scolded passively.

He also questioned himself, could he also be regarded as an accomplice of the sheriff and others?
"Look over here, I'll make an announcement!" Lance raised his hand and fired a gun, and the roaring sound attracted most people's attention.

Everyone showed instant calmness, not because Lance really had such a great charm, but because the power represented by the musket instantly suppressed the restless hearts of those people.

"Our caravan brought the best commodities from Totnes, everyone is welcome to snap up and buy food..."

Lance didn't say too much, but directly advertised to the caravan.

After being disturbed by him, the power will dissipate. Most of the people are just eating melons to watch the fun. They are more concerned about whether the goods of the caravan can give them a better life.

This kind of small town is almost the same as Hamlet, and the food production occupies the majority, so the commodities needed are more daily necessities such as salt.

And Lance's product, which he named Snowflake Salt, shocked them greatly. They never thought that salt could be so beautiful.

And the price is not much more expensive than ordinary salt blocks, but this little price is a bit unbearable for those townspeople, and they hope it will be cheaper.

"Your salt grains are made of gold and sold so expensive?"

"Where do you find this kind of salt now? It's snowflake salt from Totnes. You think it's too expensive and I don't think it's too expensive."

Speaking of which, Lance also preached the benefits of eating this kind of salt to them. His headache and waist pain were no longer sore, and his work became more energetic.

In fact, it is true that there are many impurities in those coarse salts, which are harmful to the body if taken for a long time, but he does not have this worry about the refined salts produced by chemical methods.

What Lance did just now really made the townspeople believe in his strength, and many people still bought it to try after the promotion.

After all, the salt is still cheaper than the store's, they just hope to get a cheaper price.

It is said to be a big sale, but in fact it is only three large sacks of salt. In comparison, he accepts more goods. Hard currency such as grain and fur is always available, and he even buys it in the town to accommodate more. A few carts and harnesses for the extra horses.

Regarding refined salt, Lance has already made plans. Of course, it is impossible to sell refined salt to other people so stupidly, and then say that it is a specialty of Hamlet.

Now Hamlet is not yet able to eat this piece of cake, so he must cover it.

And Totnes, a commercially developed trading port, is the best excuse. As long as people in the empire must have heard of that rich imperial pearl, it is not surprising that there is such a good thing.

And it's impossible for people in these small towns and rural areas to verify this matter. They don't have the ability to know.

Anyway, as long as it is delayed for a while, things will be simple when it develops.

At this time, an old man with short gray hair walked over quickly, and he probably guessed from the brighter clothes on his body that it was the mayor.

It's just that in such a small town, there is not much power to express, so the rest after removing the clothes is actually no different from ordinary people.

But at this time, his face was full of aggressive anger, and he walked over angrily and accused him.

"Are you the leader of this caravan? Why haven't I seen you before? What are you doing here?"

"We didn't take this route before, we just came here to waste time to send people back, do you mean that we don't want to send people back?
Oh~ No wonder, who appointed your sheriff?It's strange that he can kidnap so many people without any incident~"

Lance didn't panic at all, but choked, and the people looked over curiously when they heard their conversation.

Originally, they were very dissatisfied with the upper management of this small town because of the sheriff's matter, and they also thought of it for no reason when they heard this.

The old man didn't expect Lance to be so stubborn. He wanted to scold these troublemakers as usual, but he didn't expect it to have the opposite effect, and the fire was about to burn himself.

But he really doesn't know about the sheriff. He only needs the sheriff to help him maintain the basic order in the town. He usually turns a blind eye to the sheriff's corruption. on human trafficking.

He was quite shocked when he heard the truth of this incident, and was shocked that this guy didn't give himself a share.

But so what?
Let's not say that it has nothing to do with him, but after all, it's just a few ordinary people who dare to question their authority. Are these troublemakers going to turn the world upside down?
Thinking of this, the mayor was not at all afraid of the questioning eyes of the people, and pointed out his background to Lance.

"What do you want to do? My son is the pastor of the church."

People may be afraid of your church, but who is Lance?

Immediately, he said another sentence in a strange way.

"You mean the church instructed~"

Originally, the old man thought that he was tough enough, but he softened immediately after hearing this sentence.

Good guy, what are the origins of these people?Do you dare to buckle the hat of the church?

The townspeople also subconsciously evaded when they heard this, and the mayor was frightened by the look of "don't splash blood on me".
"Don't talk nonsense! That's not what I meant."

Seeing that the situation was a little out of control, the security officer at the side couldn't help but stepped forward to persuade him.

"Mayor, they are not bad people."
