Chapter 505: Chapter 501: Losing Face

At the peak of Red Cloud Mountain, the land of the Du Clan.

This is the second time in half a month that the crowd has gathered here. The first time was due to the arrival of Tang Luo, to whom they sought help. This time, they were here to seek justice.

The massive crowd, all wearing headbands, tightly encircled the Du Clan land, completely blocking off the relief food distribution point. Every face in the crowd expressed anger and resentment towards those distributing the food, and their accusations never ceased.

Sun Jinfang and Shen Dafa stood on an elevated position, trying in vam to appease the crowd. However, they were unable to alleviate the people’s anger, carrying their own unspeakable bitterness within them.

The original standard of food relief was equal for civilians and warriors alike, half a jin of food per day, either in the form of buns, rice, or porridge.

However, in the past three days, the standard had suddenly dropped to two liang. Not only were the practitioners unable to fill their stomachs, even the common people were full of complaints. Despite Sun Jinfang’s repeated explanation that the number of disaster-stricken people has increased, the people showed no sign of understanding.

They attacked Sun Jinfang, a man once highly praised in Xiling, using the most simplistic and obstinate logic.

“You said those who wear the headband are your followers, and you’ve been given the responsibility of distributing the food. But now the food is getting less and less. I want to ask, where did you take the food that Heaven’s Favorite has granted?”

“Sun Jinfang, I misjudged you! I originally thought you were an esteemed doctor among the people of Xiling, capable of fairness and justice. I never would have believed that a shortage of food would reveal your true colors. With 1.6 million free people in Xiling, if you withhold three liang of food per person per day, you’re making a profit of 400,000 jin in a day! Should we still call you Doctor Sun in the future? Perhaps Master Sun, the rich, would be more
