Meng Hun suddenly became aware of the solution and he understood why Jiang Pengji had become silent: The solution really was not moral.
With that reminder, everyone came to the theory of her solution, which was to trade Meng Liang for grain.
However, their County Military Chief needed to kill Meng Liang. If they traded him for grain, didn't they just spare the demon and make more trouble for themselves?
"I don't think it will work… Are we really going to let him go? If we keep him hostage and request grain from the Meng's, he will bear a bigger grudge towards them, which could involve Langjun and County Military Chief. It would basically be impossible for us to take this son of a b*tch's life if we miss this shot."
"I don't want to let him go."
"Me, either."
All the people gabbled about it, but they were on the same page. They were hesitant, too. Meng Hun was reluctant to accept the decision and he tightened his fist.
