    "I'll give you another chance, to be honest!"

    Fatty Lu is not so easy to deceive, he gave the strong man a cold look, and said sharply.

    This strong man trembled when he was stared at by Fatty Lu's cold eyes, but he still didn't seize the opportunity given by Fatty Lu in the end.

    "My lord, what I just said is the truth" the strong man argued.

    Fatty Lu sneered: "I think you won't cry when you see the coffin."

    "Tell me, what happened just now?"

    Fatty Lu didn't bother to pay attention to the leading strong man, and turned his attention to Pan Changshou, who was beaten with a bruised nose and swollen face, vomiting blood from his mouth.

    "They took it by force and wanted to take my porridge receipt. If I didn't obey them, they would beat me." Pan Changshou said with an aggrieved face.

    "Who else's note was taken away by them, stand up, I will make the decision for you!" Fatty Lu nodded, and then said to the people around him.

    "My lord, don't listen to his nonsense about things that don't exist."

    Seeing that his affairs were exposed in public, the strong man was still unwilling to admit it.

    "My lord, please decide for us, my note was also taken away by them."

    Soon, a young man plucked up the courage to stand up, because he would face the risk of starvation without the note, so he decided to take a gamble.

    "Very well, who else, I will make the decision for you!"

    "My lord, mine was also taken away by them."

    "My lord, ours was also taken away."

    People die for money and birds die for food. In order to make themselves full, a group of strong men bully the weak.

    ?Because of their hard fists, the refugees dare not speak out even if they have their porridge slips taken away.

    Now with the backing of Fatty Lu, a member of the Far Eastern Empire, those common people also stood up one after another.

    "My lord, don't listen to their nonsense. I didn't take their note, so please check it out."

    Seeing so many people standing up to accuse him, the brawny man who had no fear just now looked flustered and hurriedly explained.

    "Search for them!"

    Fatty Lu saw that the time was ripe, and with an order, several soldiers behind him went up and searched these strong men.

    Soon, a lot of slips for gruel were found from these strong men.

    As long as they rely on these notes, these strong men can eat and drink enough every day, and the people who have been taken away are probably only hungry.

    "Bully the weak, deserve to be killed!"

    Seeing the strong men standing there at a loss, Fatty Lu also had murderous intent in his eyes.

    "Matthew, kill them on the spot, as a warning to others!" Fatty Lu ordered.

    "No!"

    Matthew, who was standing beside Fatty Lu, responded with a roar, pulled out the saber from his waist, and strode towards these strong men.

    "run!"

    These strong men saw the incident brought to light, and they were facing threats to their lives.

    Naturally, they didn't dare to confront Fatty Lu and the others, so they decided to run away with oil on their feet.

    But they still underestimated Matthew and the soldiers of the Qinghe Army. How could they outrun well-trained soldiers?

    Amidst the shrill screams and blood spattering, the bodies of these strong men who tried to escape were quickly dragged back.

    Seeing the bloody corpse, the surrounding refugees also applauded, because Fatty Lu got rid of a scourge.

    "Go back and find out who ordered them, who should be killed, who should be expelled."

    "Also, the manager of No. 7 refugee camp is suspected of dereliction of duty, so he should be dismissed according to the rules and investigated."

    Fatty Lu, the Dingguo Duke, has taken over a series of affairs of the Holy See refugees from the Zhen Guogong Li Lang.

    In the past, Li Lang, the Lord of the Town, had a lot of things to do, and it was inevitable that he could not be negligent, but now that Fatty Lu has taken over, he can't rub the sand in his eyes.

    Seeing that Fatty Lu, an official of the Far East Empire, eradicated the bully in the No. 7 refugee camp, the refugees also greatly increased their favorability.

    "Let everyone gather in the open space over there, I have something to say."

    Fatty Lu inspected the refugee camp. In addition to understanding the specific situation, he also had the task of recruiting soldiers.

    Soon, all the refugees in No. 7 refugee camp gathered in the open space, and they didn't know what Fatty Lu was going to do.

      "Fathers and folks, I am Lu Fugui, Dingguo Duke of the Far Eastern Empire!"

    Fatty Lu, Duke Ding, rode on horseback and spoke condescendingly to the crowd.

    "You are all expelled by the Holy See. It stands to reason that our Far Eastern Empire should not care about you."

    "But God has the virtue of living well, and His Majesty the Emperor of our empire is also kind and generous, so he ordered you to be taken in! He also gave you food and kept you alive!"

    Fatty Lu's words made the refugees feel grateful, because they knew very well in their hearts that they were living on the border a few days ago, and they were so hungry that they ate grass roots, so they were very grateful to the Far East Empire.

    "But our Far Eastern Empire does not support idlers!"

    Fatty Lu's words made everyone raise their hearts to their throats again, wondering what their fate would be.

    "Now the imperial court gives you three ways to go!"

    "First, follow our arrangement and go to reclaim wasteland, grow grain, build roads and water canals. Anyone who works will have food!"

    "Second, join our army and fight for us. Anyone who has made military exploits will be issued a certificate of residence in the Far East for himself and his family, and the land will be distributed. He will become a Far Easter and enjoy the treatment of a subject of the empire!"

    "Third, those who are unwilling to work or fight for us, go wherever they come and go, and leave the country within a time limit. Violators will be killed without mercy!"

    After hearing Fatty Lu's words, the gathered refugees also whispered among themselves.

    They were unable to control their own destiny before, but now Fatty Lu pointed them to three paths.

    In fact, they were expelled by the Holy See and could no longer return to their homes where they had lived for generations.

    Now they either go to work for the Far East Empire, or join the army to fight.

    However, in comparison between the two, joining the army is their only way out.

    Because if they open up wasteland for planting or build water canals and build roads, they will always be refugees, and they will just not starve to death.

    However, once they join the Far Eastern army and gain military exploits, they and their family members can gain the status of the Far Eastern common people and obtain land, etc. This is what they expect.

    "Now please make your choice, those who are willing to join the army, go to the left to register!"

    Fatty Lu didn't give them too much time to think, and quickly let them make their own choices.

    Under the difficult choice of the refugees, some young and middle-aged people quickly said goodbye to their families and came forward to register.

    "Father, mother, the child will no longer be able to serve you, please redeem the child for being unfilial."

    With a bruised nose and a swollen face, Pan Changshou decided to join the army after struggling a lot in his heart to obtain the identity of a Far Easterner for his parents.

    Because only by obtaining the status of Far Easterners, can they settle in the Far East, get the land, and enjoy the treatment of imperial subjects, otherwise they can only spend their lives in the refugee camps where they are not free.

    Of course, joining the army may involve a great risk of dying on the battlefield, but now Pan Changshou feels that he has no choice.

    "Changshou, you can go at ease, follow that fat adult and do well, don't worry about us."

    Facing his son's choice, Pan Changshou's parents also supported him, because they did not want their son to stay in a refugee camp for the rest of his life.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
