If the townsfolk refused to sell, the Ba Dao Gang would find all sorts of ways to cause trouble, raising the example money every few days.
Most families couldn't stand the harassment and had no choice but to swallow their anger, sell their homes, and move out.
Only a few families, like Wang Laoshu's, who had children and elders to care for, found it inconvenient to move and had been gritting their teeth and holding on until now.
Today, the Ba Dao Gang wanted to raise the example money again, and they doubled it. How could the townsfolk possibly afford that?
When the matter was reported to the City Guard Department, the Officials there wouldn't handle it.
Seeing Chen Cheng had returned, they had no choice but to ask him to step in.
