It's chaotic outside, truly chaotic.
The County Inspector has been killed, the county government is besieged, and the oppressed people outside the city, provoked by some individuals, have stormed into the county city.
Among them were those incited by Chen Wan and opportunists who took advantage of the situation to cause an uprising, rushing into the county city and looting everywhere.
Whenever they saw a household that seemed wealthy, they would attack and rob them.
But the wealthy weren't defenseless; they fortified their walls and gates, trying every means to resist.
Zhao Erlang led the troops to quell the unrest. Upon seeing anyone attacking a house, he ordered them to stop and put down their weapons, and if they didn't comply, he would strike.
Fu Tinghan, at his side, helped him assess the situation. Some were genuinely starving and desperate for food, while others were looting belongings out of malice.
