But Snake Teeth didn't expect it, and what was even more unbelievable was that the next news of the speaker made him unable to move his feet any longer.
"Five days later, that is, the second week of the first month of spring, the city hall will distribute relief rations in the square! Everyone can get two hot porridges here, one at noon and one at evening. Townspeople, thank you The kindness of His Royal Highness!"
As soon as these words came out, there was a commotion in the crowd.
"My God, Goyle didn't lie, there was such a line in the announcement!"
"Yeah, I just wanted to check it out."
"Am I right? Have porridge every day?"
"You too? Don't you have a lot of wheat and jerky in your house?"
"That's also two free copies. The Guardian didn't forbid me to get it. Didn't you hear what they said, everyone!"
"Sir!" Someone suddenly asked loudly, "Is the porridge really free? When will it be distributed?"
This is also a question that most people care about. Everyone immediately stopped talking and looked at the noble servants in unison.
The latter waited until the anticipation of the onlookers had reached, and then said calmly, "That's right! The porridge is indeed distributed for free, and it will continue until the end of the month of demons! Go and tell the news to more neighbors. With my friends, the promise made by His Royal Highness will surely come true!"
Hundreds of people boiled instantly, but Snake Fang still couldn't believe his ears.
Free food, what does it mean? They can temporarily get rid of the threat of Kanash, and no longer have to worry about starving to death in the icy snow. It's not just them, all mice can easily get food, so Wang and Belly can't control their tails below. !
Kanash will never sit back and watch such a situation happen. What will he do? Send people to disperse the crowd and disrupt the porridge scene... Or bribe the officials of the city hall and pour the porridge into the Chishui River
However, She Ya also noticed that His Royal Highness was mentioned repeatedly by the speaker, that is to say, it was the legendary fourth prince who asked for relief rations this time, not the duke or the five families in the past. Will he let these rat kings do whatever they want, or is he really different from other aristocratic lords
He didn't want to trust any nobles, and the scene where the white paper was deceived was still vivid in his mind.
But there is another voice in my heart that keeps asking myself, what if it is true, what if it is true
Fortunately, this doubt didn't last too long, because the elk attendant on the stage had already started to announce the next message. He originally thought that these decrees were just a new trick that the gentlemen came up with to toss the city people, and he was a homeless stray like himself. It had nothing to do with it. As a result, the first two news made him extremely surprised, and the third news pointed directly at the rat group.
"City people, listen up, your good days are coming!" The speaker first stabilized the noisy crowd with a sentence, and then said word by word, "Five days later, that is, from the day the porridge is served, His Royal Highness will launch a severe crime-fighting operation in Changge Fortress, including eliminating black street organizations, cracking down on theft and robbery, and all illegal acts that threaten the life and property safety of city residents! At that time, everyone should not stay in the black street, nor go to Mixed places such as pubs, casinos, etc., to avoid unnecessary harm!"
"The order of the fortress needs to be maintained by all the city residents. Now the city hall is recruiting personnel, including security personnel and police personnel. I will explain the recruitment requirements in detail below!"
Snake Teeth didn't have the heart to listen any longer. He got out of the crowd and ran to the bonfire quickly, "Quick, let's go back!"
"Have you heard it?" Kwai rubbed her hands together and said reluctantly, "You should also warm up before leaving."
"No, go now!" he said anxiously.
"What happened?" Joe heard something wrong.
"I'll explain to you on the way," Snake stomped his feet, "We have to go back quickly, or we'll be dead when Kanash hears the news from others first!"
…
The gathering place of mice in the West District is located deep in Wuwei Alley, in a two-story private house.
Kanash is a one-eyed strong man with a ferocious face, and his temper and methods are just as brutal as his face. Snake Teeth has seen him nail a subordinate who screwed up to the wall, and then use a whip to kill him. Plus he controls the food supply of several rat groups on the block, and no one dares to show any disrespect in front of him.
The same is true for Snake Teeth. He knelt down in front of the other party carefully and repeated the news he had heard.
"The Lord of the City wants to attack us?" Kanash frowned, "What kind of wind is this blowing?"
"...not the city lord," Snake Ya reminded cautiously, "that person has always been talking about His Royal Highness."
"You know shit!" He sighed, "No matter how big a nobleman is, he won't be able to do anything in someone else's territory. This is the Changge Fortress, not the border town or the capital, and without the approval of the Milu family, he will do nothing. Can't do it. What about the nominal guardian of the West? Just look at who is sitting in the castle, and what kind of king is still nominally commanding Greycastle, who cares about his orders?"
"You are right," a woman beside Kanash said softly, "Besides, even if the sky changes, it doesn't have much to do with us. Nobles are nobles, mice are mice, don't look at both staying together. In a city, in fact, it is not a kind of person at all."
"A mouse is a mouse? I like to hear this," Kanash squeezed the woman's butt, "but the second news is a bit strange. According to the past, if the nobles want to put food and earn a good reputation, they will notify us in advance. And it's limited distribution, why does it sound like they're going to feed the whole city this time?"
No one could answer this question, but Sheya knew that at this moment, everyone was thinking about the two free bowls of wheat porridge.
"Could it be... the master above wants to scrape the benefits from Lord Bloody Hand?" the woman chuckled.
"Who knows," Kanash shrugged, "I'll ask the boss later, only he knows about this kind of aristocracy."
The so-called bloody hand is the king of the Western District. I heard that he is very close to some minor nobles. In a sense, he can no longer be regarded as a pure mouse, but an "underground noble" without a title. In fact, every king has a similar approach.
Thinking of this, Snake Fang couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. He knew that Kanash's little lover was right. Nobles have existed for hundreds of years, and the same is true of mice. No matter how the above changes, the underground world always has its own set of rules... Prince His Highness is also a noble, what can he change
"By the way, I know what you are thinking," Kanash sneered twice, "Want to taste the wheat porridge distributed by the city hall? Until that day, everyone must stay in this house, and no one is allowed to go. Did you hear? If someone dares to steal food behind my back, I promise that he will never be able to eat for the rest of his life!" (.)
