Our family is in decline

"You are breaking the law, you know? Don't do stupid things." He dispersed the circle of people, but the parents among them who had lost their children did not accept his tactics at all. Instead, they burst out with powerful resentment and started accusing and cursing him. .

"You murderer!"

"Give my daughter back!"

"It's all your fault!"

The Sheriff led a team to kidnap people, and most of his Sheriffs were involved. This inevitably caused the townspeople to lose trust in the Sheriff, and soon this 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 crowd is one of the manifestations of human sociality. At this time, they can't distinguish between good and bad, or they don't want to distinguish between them 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 facing a good person or a weak person. Anyway, at this moment they become people holding a butcher knife.

This force will evolve into chaos and spread further if no one guides it, but it can be eliminated as long as someone steps forward and provides appropriate guidance.

It's a pity that the Sheriff couldn't do anything at this time and could only stand there and be scolded passively.

He also had doubts about himself. Could he be considered an accomplice of the Sheriff's people?

"Everyone, look over here. I have an announcement!" Lance raised his hand and fired a shot. The roar of the gun attracted most people's attention.

Everyone showed an instant calmness. It was not that Lance really had such great charm, but that the power represented by the gun instantly suppressed the restless hearts of those people.

"Our caravan has brought the best goods from Totnes. Everyone is welcome to rush to buy and purchase grain..."

Lance didn't make too big a point, but directly advertised to the caravan.

The power dissipated after he was disturbed in this way. Most people just watched the fun. They were more concerned about whether the caravan's goods could give them a better life.

This kind of town is originally similar to Hamlet and is dominated by food production, so the products it needs are more necessities such as salt.

The product he named Snowflake Salt in Lance's hand shocked them greatly. They had 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 unaffordable for the townspeople, who want it to be cheaper.

"Is your salt grain made of gold and sold so expensively?"

"Look where you can find this kind of salt now? This is snowflake salt from Totnes. If you think it's expensive, I think it's too expensive."

While talking, Lance also preached to them the benefits of eating this kind of salt. His head pain was gone, his waist was no longer sore, and he felt more energetic when working.

In fact, this is indeed the case. There are many impurities in the current coarse salt that are harmful to the body if consumed for a long time. However, the refined salt produced by chemical methods does not have this worry.

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

After all, the salt is still cheaper than the one in the store. They just hope to get a cheaper price.

It was said to be a big sale, but in fact it was only three large bags of salt. In contrast, he received more goods. Hard currencies such as grain and fur were welcome, and he even bought them in the town in order to store more. Several carts were brought and the extra horses were hitched.

Lance had already made plans regarding the refined salt. Of course, he couldn't just stupidly sell refined salt to others and then say it was a specialty of Hamlet.

Now Hamlet is not able to eat this piece of cake, so he must put on a layer of skin.

Totnes, a trading port with developed commerce, is the best excuse. Anyone who is in the empire must have heard about that rich pearl of the empire, so 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 you delay it for a while, things will be simple when you develop.

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

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

But at this time, his face was full of aggressive anger, and he walked over angrily and started to accuse.

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

"We have never taken this route before. We only wasted our time to come here just to send people back. Do you mean to tell us not to send people back?

Oh~ No wonder, who appointed your police chief? It’s strange that he could kidnap so many people without any problem~”

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

Originally, they were very dissatisfied with the upper management of this town because of the police chief, so they all thought of it for no reason when they heard this.

The old man didn't expect Lance to be so tough. He originally wanted to scold these unruly people as usual, but unexpectedly it had the opposite effect and the fire was about to burn him.

But he really didn’t know anything about the Sheriff. He only needed the Sheriff to help him maintain basic order in the town. He usually turned a blind eye to the Sheriff’s corruption, but he didn’t expect that he would dare to kidnap the town’s police officers. human trafficking.

He was quite shocked when he heard the truth about this matter. He was shocked that this guy didn't give himself a share.

But so what?

Not to mention that it has nothing to do with him, but after all, they are just a few ordinary people. They dare to question their own authority. Are these unruly people going to cause trouble?

Thinking of this, the mayor was not afraid of the public's doubts at all, and told Lance about his background.

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

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

Immediately he said something strangely.

"You mean it was ordered by the church~"

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

Good guy, what are the backgrounds of these people? Do you dare to take off your church hat?

When the townspeople heard this, they all subconsciously avoided it. They looked like "Don't spill blood on me." The mayor was frightened and quickly defended himself.

"Don't talk nonsense! That's not what I meant."

The police officer on the side saw that the situation was a little out of control and couldn't help but step forward to persuade.

"Mayor, they are not bad people."
