"Very good."

Lin Wen nodded in satisfaction.

"Also, how did you do with the task I assigned you yesterday?"

Huang Mingxiao's mind turned and he immediately remembered, "As soon as you left yesterday, I arranged for it. It was handled by the civil affairs official Ji Fu Xiao. She brought the 81st issue of the Empire Daily as you requested and made a thousand copies. She took 18 people to distribute and read it without even having dinner."

Lin Wen was very pleased. This Director Huang was indeed reliable. "Oh? What's the situation now?"

Huang Mingxiao scratched his head, with a rare expression of confusion on his face. "I don't know. I have too many things to do. She hasn't come back since she left, and she hasn't reported her work to the temporary command post."

Lin Wen didn't care. "It's okay. I'll go find her."

"Uh, I don't know where she is."

"Then you call her..."

Lin Wen stopped halfway and choked. This was not the original world. No one had a mobile phone. The only mobile phone was a brick, and there were very few of them.

"What should we do?"

Lin Wen widened his eyes and suddenly realized that he couldn't find her in a short time. The temporary shelter was very large, and it was not easy to find one person among 300,000 people.

"How about... " Huang Mingxiao said cautiously, "I'll send someone to find her, and you wait here for news. I'll report to you when we find her."

"No!" Lin Wen firmly refused. "How can we waste this precious time like this? Don't you have any other way to find her immediately?"

"Well..." Huang Mingxiao looked puzzled.

Although reason told him that he could only wait, Lin Wen still didn't want to believe it. "Once she goes out, she can't be found? How did you deal with emergencies before? What if she has an urgent matter to report?"

Theft is never good, try looking at [ pawread dot com ].

Huang Mingxiao was a little confused. Isn't waiting normal? It's not abnormal not to be able to contact someone anytime, anywhere, unless you're a high-ranking official.

Just as Director Huang didn't know how to explain, a staff member suddenly broke in and shouted, "Something bad happened! Director Huang, there was a riot at the eleventh resettlement site! The disaster victims attacked our sentry post and kidnapped more than ten people!"

"What did you say!?"

Huang Mingxiao rushed over and grabbed his shoulders. "What's the situation?"

The man cried, "They said the food at the eleventh resettlement site was too little, the tents were not enough, and the supplies were all embezzled by corrupt officials. They also said... they also said..."

"What else did they say? Tell me!" Huang Mingxiao's forehead veins bulged.

The man cried, "They also said that the patrol guards didn't treat them like human beings and didn't give them food if they didn't let them play."

A huge dizziness rushed up, and Huang Mingxiao almost couldn't stand.

But the messenger hadn't finished yet. "This time, they forcibly dragged people into the sentry post, causing the three children of a disaster victim to be unattended and lost!"

"They have ignited public anger! The enraged disaster victims have gone crazy. They said that since they are not allowed to live, they will all die together!""Sheriff! Sheriff! What do we do? There are already over ten thousand of them! And more are joining!"

As soon as he finished speaking, more people rushed in.

"Sheriff Huang! The refugees are rioting!"

"Sheriff Huang! The rebellion in the east is spreading!"

"Sheriff Huang..."

"Sheriff Huang..."

"Shut up!"

The noisy courtyard suddenly quieted down, but it wasn't Huang Mingxiao who spoke, it was Lin Wen.

"Huang Mingxiao, sit in the back."

Lin Wen's voice was cold and emotionless as he pointed to the people who came to report.

"You, lead the way."

With that, he stepped out of the gate, but no one followed.

Turning around, everyone was like statues.

"Lead the way!"

A terrifying roar, like muffled thunder, shook the dust off the walls and tiles.

[The Tolling of the Bell]

A green Qi-cultivation spell that consumes 10% of the soul, making the voice resound like thunder, with a warning and deterrent effect that lasts for 16 hours in this world.

This was a spell that he thought was useless, but when he heard about the refugee riots, this spell immediately came to mind.

He decisively used it.

16 hours was enough.

Everyone finally woke up and followed.

"Sheriff Huang, you stay in the back, I'll go quell the rebellion."

Lin Wen spoke to Huang Mingxiao in a low voice, but it was still very loud.

"Let's go!"

The eleventh resettlement point was not far away, just over two small hills, but several people had already run away after walking only a short distance.

By the time they climbed the first hill, there were only seven or eight people left.

Lin Wen didn't care, he could faintly hear the noise, and everyone with him was trembling and almost unwilling to move forward.

Someone advised, "Sheriff! The refugees are in a violent mood, they won't listen to anything now. Shouldn't we go back?"

"Yes, yes, let's wait for them to calm down."

"This is all someone's instigation, they'll realize it's a misunderstanding soon."

"That's right, Sheriff, we'll only provoke them if we go over there recklessly."

Lin Wen sneered without saying a word, just looked at them with [Observing the Heavens and Reading People], then went ahead on his own.

He could hear the voices, he didn't need them to lead the way.

Among those who followed, some didn't move, some hesitated for a moment before following, but Lin Wen walked very fast, and they could only keep up by running.

Soon, the noise suddenly grew louder, and a large group of people surged out of the small hill opposite them, rushing towards them.

The noise became clearer.

"Kill the corrupt officials!"

"Kill these bastard dogs!"

In front of them, there were a few inconspicuous dots running wildly, covered in mud, clothes torn to shreds, and looking like they had taken a beating.

Although they were in a sorry state, they could still be seen to be security guards under the Civil Affairs Bureau from the remnants of their clothing.

They were running for their lives, all of them terrified, and suddenly saw Lin Wen's group in front of them, and immediately shouted."Come and save me!"

"Quickly go and ask the Sheriff to send troops!"

"These peasants are rebelling!"

Lin Wen took a deep breath, and the inhalation was endless like a whale sucking the Yangtze River or a dragon sucking the clouds, but it burst to a stop midway.

"I am Lin Wen, the Sheriff of Changshan County! The guardian of the Changshan County dike!"

Like thunder rolling and lightning exploding, a huge roar shook for thousands of miles, causing the mountains, soil, rocks, earth, and even the earth's core to resonate. It seemed like the tremendous force would return to the ground at any moment, causing the mountains to collapse and the sun and moon to lose their light.

The nearby entourage was almost stunned.

However, the few escaping security guards were overjoyed after the shock and shouted:

"It's the Sheriff!"

"The Sheriff of Changshan County is here!"

"Haha, we're saved!"

"The Imperial army must be behind him!"

"His guards will come and kill these peasants immediately!"

As they shouted, they ran towards Lin Wen, but the entourage behind him knew that there were no reinforcements, and the Sheriff came alone. They were already scared out of their wits. Some ran away, while others sat paralyzed on the ground.

The refugees were slightly deterred, but their intense hatred and unwillingness still drove them towards the foot of the mountain.

However, what happened next made them almost unable to believe their eyes.

Lin Wen drew an iron rod from behind and pierced the throat of the security guard who was running at the forefront. Then, he used force to insert the iron rod into the ground, nailing the security guard to death.

The security guard's face was full of bruises, his eyes widened, but he couldn't say a word. Blood foam gushed from his mouth and dripped on the ground.

He never understood why the Sheriff suddenly killed him.

Lin Wen pulled out the iron rod and threw the body on the ground. The black aura on the security guard's face slowly dissipated, finally disappearing into thin air with the help of his immortal technique.

Looking up, three security guards were still stunned in place, and the black aura above their heads was as dark as a demon.

"Monster!"

Lin Wen stepped forward and roared in anger.

"Come and die!"

He raised his hand like lightning and stabbed the heart of the second security guard, and the black aura disappeared.

As the dead paid their debts, he flicked his wrist, and the second corpse fell to the ground.

The remaining two security guards finally reacted and screamed, turning around and running away.

However, they couldn't outrun Lin Wen, who had activated the "Spirit Cat's Sprint." His movements seemed gentle, but he quickly closed the distance, piercing the heart of the third security guard with a rod. The guard fell to the ground, and blood flowed out.

The last security guard had already run more than twenty steps away, but Lin Wen had no intention of chasing him. He raised his hand and threw the iron rod.

"Watch my sword!"

Lin Wen used his skills. The iron rod was slow at first, then fast, rising and falling in the air like a guided missile, accurately hitting the back of the escaping security guard's head, destroying his spinal cord.

He died on the spot.
