Journey to the West: People are in heaven, working from nine to five

Chapter 2012 Another crisis

When Chu Hao said this, the meaning in his words was already obvious. If Fengxian County was still under the oppressive control of Tianzhu Kingdom, it would probably be impossible to escape the slaughter of Xitian.

"Chu Hao's words of immortality do make sense."

Even Tang Seng agreed with Chu Hao's attitude. Even if they took action, they could save him for a while, but they couldn't save him forever.

Unless the people of Fengxian County realize this and take practical actions, they can completely get rid of Xitian's control.

"It's pity that we, the people of Fengxian County, have to suffer another round of torture."

Shangguan Junhou could only sigh, and there was nothing he could do about it.

Fengxian County had experienced three years of drought before, and it was difficult to survive and the economy was depressed. Later, Xitian caused a disaster, which caused even more harm to Fengxian County.

Although things are going well now, it is impossible to change the situation in a short period of time, and the people of Fengxian County are still struggling to survive.

In this case, the horse-faced messenger arrived and asked the people to rebuild the temple, which was a waste of money and money.

Not to mention the large amount of manpower required to rebuild the temple, it also requires a large amount of wood and bricks. Fengxian County has been in drought for three years, and even the vegetation has died.

"Sir Messenger, where can I get the bricks, tiles and wood to rebuild the temple?"

The subordinates were helpless about this. The entire Fengxian County was short of supplies, and there was nowhere to find the materials to rebuild the temple.

"this……."

The horse-faced messenger couldn't think of a solution for the moment.

However, beside the horse-faced messenger, there were two personal guards named Fei Zhong Youhun. These two guys were out-and-out scheming villains, and their hearts were even more vicious.

"Sir Messenger, I have an idea. Since we are short of materials to rebuild the temple, we can get them by demolishing private houses."

Fei Zhong made a suggestion to the horse-faced messenger.

"This is a good idea. Send me an order immediately to demolish the houses to provide materials for rebuilding the temple."

The horse-faced messenger nodded and immediately issued the order.

“Taxes can also be increased to provide money for temple construction.”

Youhun was also unwilling to lag behind and offered advice to the horse-faced messenger.

"Haha, very good. With enough materials and money, the temple will be rebuilt soon."

The horse-faced messenger had received instructions from the West, and he was a fanatical Buddhist believer. To him, as long as the temple could be rebuilt, the life and death of the people did not matter at all.

But this move was extremely vicious. The people of Fengxian County had no food and clothing, and only had the shelter of a tiled house.

The horse-faced messenger ordered large-scale demolition of houses to obtain materials to rebuild temples, which was tantamount to driving the people to death.

"Please, don't tear down my house."

"This is where our family lives."

"You still make it impossible for us to survive."

The common people begged the soldiers who were executing the orders, but those soldiers were executing the orders, so even if they sympathized with them, there was nothing they could do.

As houses one after another were demolished, the eyes of the people already contained strong hatred.

The people of Fengxian County have been suffering from successive disasters, but now that the horse-faced messenger has arrived, even the houses where they live will be destroyed.

"You can't tear it down. If you want to tear it down, just step over my body."

Finally, someone couldn't suppress the anger in his heart and stood in front of his home, trying to protect his home with his seven-foot body. But a weak common man is as insignificant as an ant in the eyes of the soldiers, and his behavior is as ridiculous as a mantis using its arms as a cart.

"My Lord Messenger has ordered that anyone who dares to disobey will be killed."

"I'll fight you."

The soldiers did not show mercy to the common man just because he was protecting his homeland. Under the knife and gun, the common man's body fell down in a bloody mess.

On the construction site of rebuilding the temple, many middle-aged people were arrested to do hard labor. In order to keep up with the progress, the envoys made them do hard work for more than ten hours every day.

Not to mention humans, even animals used like this would suffer from fatigue. In just a few days, some people began to fall down due to lack of food and overwork.

The messenger didn't have any sympathy for these people and simply threw them aside and left them to fend for themselves.

Seeing people dying one after another, and even the corpses smelling putrid, some people finally reached the limit of their endurance.

"This is obviously forcing us to think further."

"It's a dead end anyway, so we might as well fight them."

"What's the use of building this temple? Will the West continue to harm us?"

The common people were finally forced to resist under the high-pressure rule of the horse-faced messenger.

"If you fight them, the worst possible outcome is death."

At the construction site where houses were demolished and temples were rebuilt, the people who gathered began to clash with the soldiers supervising the work.

Once this momentum started, it spread like a spark igniting a prairie fire, and more and more people joined the resistance team.

Once the number of resisting people increased, the soldiers overseeing the work could no longer cope with the situation. Some even vicious soldiers overseeing the work were surrounded by the people and beaten to death.

This matter was immediately reported to the horse-faced messenger.

"Reporting to the envoy, something serious has happened. The people of Fengxian County are resisting the soldiers, and the situation is out of control."

Hearing such news, the horse-faced envoy was also a little shocked. He did not expect that the people of Fengxian County would dare to resist him, the envoy of the imperial court.

But after all, he was an envoy sent by the king of Tianzhu. He had the royal family and the court as his backers and held great power. A few ordinary people were nothing in his eyes.

"These untouchables dare to defy the imperial court, and immediately mobilize the army to encircle and suppress them. Anyone who dares to resist will be regarded as treason and will be killed."

The horse-faced envoy immediately ordered the mobilization of a large army to encircle and suppress the resisting people.

The number of people in Fengxian County who joined the resistance team reached tens of thousands in just one day, forming a huge team.

The total number of troops in Fengxian County was only about a few thousand, so the resistance team had a huge numerical advantage.

But the common people are common people after all. They don't have decent weapons in their hands. Most of them are armed with sticks and farm tools.

Compared with well-equipped soldiers, this is also an essential gap.

It can be said that one side has a quantitative advantage, while the other side has a qualitative advantage. Thousands of soldiers have already started a confrontation with tens of thousands of civilians in Fengxian County.

A war is about to break out. If the people and the soldiers are at war with each other, the consequences can be imagined.

No matter which side wins, it will be a disaster scene with corpses on the ground and rivers of blood. This is even more bloody and violent than the previous natural disasters.

"Stop it all!"

Just when the two sides were about to confront each other, someone suddenly shouted loudly.
