Chapter 627: All Living Beings Are Suffering
actually jumped up, Qi Zhitu was shocked, it was not once or twice that he had caused trouble, and this time he was afraid that it would be difficult to escape. Seeing Feng Guoan (Jiang Anyi) rushing towards him, Qi Zhitu roared: "Brothers, he is just one person, everyone will gather around him and chop him into meat puree, I will have a heavy reward." ”
There were thirty or forty people standing at the head of the city, and when they heard that there was a reward, they took knives and guns to kill Jiang Anyi, how could Jiang Anyi put these rabble in his eyes, and put down a large piece of three and five divided by two, and the rest knew that they were powerful and hid from afar. Looking for Qi Zhitu again, this kid made his subordinates desperate, he had already run down the city wall, ready to drill into the house, even if Jiang Anyi's martial arts were high, it would be impossible to find someone in the dense house.
A few zhang away in front of him was a low shack, built in a hazard manner, like a labyrinth, Qi Zhitu breathed a sigh of relief, he could finally save his life. The wealth he brought with him was enough for him to be a rich man, the world was so big, he could find a place to live comfortably for the rest of his life.
It's a bit faceless to run away like this, Qi Zhitu is ready to sneer at Feng Guoan (Jiang Anyi) on the city wall before leaving. When he turned around, he saw Jiang Anyi jumping directly from the city, his clothes were hunting and encouraging, and his eyes were staring at him like electricity.
"Mom", Qi Zhitu almost didn't shout, how dare he hesitate, and ran towards the shack. Jiang Anyi was in the air, three zhang away from Qi Zhitu, and seeing that he was about to run into the messy buildings, it would be difficult to find him.
didn't have time to think about it, Jiang Anyi shook his arms, and a scorching hurricane swept forward. Qi Zhitu felt that someone pushed him hard in his back, and he couldn't help but rush forward, but there was a shack in front of him, but he couldn't hold his feet, and hit his head against the wooden wall, making a loud "bang".
Ignoring the big bag on his head, Qi Zhitu turned around and wanted to drill into the alley next to him, but as soon as he used his strength, his back burned with burning pain, and the injury was not light. A mocking voice sounded in his ears: "Qi Dangjia, this is in a hurry to reincarnate, Jiang will give you a ride." ”
With the sound, a slap was imprinted on his back, Qi Zhitu felt that his internal organs were about to burn, opened his mouth and spurted blood, and fell to the ground with convulsions. Jewels spilled out of the blankets, and the jewels of the land were so precious that the dead could no longer use them.
The county government, Ye Yanguang and Guo De had already left the lobby and ordered the minions to load the materials piled up in the courtyard. Zhong Shanzhai can only use more than 600 minions except for the old and weak women, plus 1670 people under Yu Tuozi, and 70 or 80 people recruited by the county government, a total of only about 800 people. Rao Qiangfeng has already taken away 500 people, guarding the four city gates and distributing 100 people, and the remaining people are not enough.
The original plan was to recruit five or six hundred of Yu Tuozi and Tietoutuo's men, and then select the best from the disaster victims to forcibly take them in, and they could gather more than 2,000 people, but now the dock gang has not been ambushed, and the troops are stretched. The plan couldn't catch up with the changes, Guo De's face was cloudy, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "Ye Ye, you can't be soft-hearted if you want to do big things, send people to set fire to the county seat, drive the people and disaster victims out of the east gate to Linhua County, select the strong ones to join the team on the way, and kill those who dare not obey." ”
Yang Xiancheng, who was so frightened that he quietly took a step back, and let Guo De see that Guo De had always harbored deep malice towards the same kind of Guo De, who was an official in high school, and said with a smile: "Lord Yang, you."
Take people to tell the people that the relief grain from the court has arrived in Linhua County, and let them go to Linhua County to eat food and survive. ”
Without waiting for Yang Guohua to express his position, Guo De nodded and called the two minions and ordered: "You two follow Yang Xiancheng closely to protect him, if he dares to play tricks, he will stab him to death." Yang Guohua turned pale with fright, and even said "don't dare", and was frightened and was "protected" by two minions and went out of the yamen to persuade the people to go to Linhua County.
Thick smoke was billowing in the city, and fires were burning everywhere, Ye Yanguang reluctantly glanced back at the county government that was on fire, and the chair was about to leave before it was hot. Touching the big seal in his arms, Ye Yanguang sighed, flew on his horse under the protection of Gao Shuitian and others, and chased Guo Junshi, who was escorting the vehicle first.
At the east city gate, more than 70 carriages and ox carts lined up in a long line out of the city, on both sides of the convoy were the people and disaster victims who dragged their children and daughters, Yang Guohua shouted hoarsely at the city gate: "Everyone, the old folks, there are robbers in Xingling County, they can't live, let's go to Linhua County together, the court's 100,000 stone disaster relief grain has been transported to Linhua County, and Lord Thorn Shiai is also there, everyone work hard, and there will be a way to live in Linhua County." ”
Guo De stood on the wheel of a carriage and looked coldly at the fleeing people, there were more than a dozen corpses on the side of the road that wanted to escape in chaos, and under the bloody threat, more than 30,000 people obediently marched towards Linhua County. Guo De secretly breathed a sigh of relief, he only had about 200 minions in his hands, and he had just collected more than 500 victims, which was less than a thousand people in the face of more than 30,000 people, to be honest, a little weak-hearted, once the people resisted, I am afraid that there would be no place for my own people to die.
There was an ox cart parked next to the carriage, and the county commander Lu Shengyuan tied his arms and threw it in the car, and his new concubine cried and cried with him, and the cry reached Guo De's ears, reminding him of the night when he decided to sell his wife and children, and the same cry made his heart like a knife. The corners of Guo De's mouth flashed a cruel smile, he had tasted this piercing taste himself, and let more people taste it, and all living beings were suffering for great happiness.
Jiang Anyi picked up the jacket, opened the city gate, and let Tietoutuo and the others in. He handed the blanket to Tietoutuo and said, "These treasures are still in your place, and you will be rewarded for your deeds afterwards." ”
Smoke rises everywhere in the city, and the southern part of the city is no exception. At the south gate of the city, there are mostly poor people, who cannot afford to live in blue brick houses, and most of the houses are made of wooden blocks, which burn faster when they catch fire, and the cries for help come and go.
The families of the dock gang lived here, and when they saw the fire and ran home, it was useless for Tietoutuo to shout loudly. Jiang Anyi smiled bitterly, these gangs are not soldiers after all, they can't talk about discipline and restraint, and it is normal for people to save their homes when they catch fire, look at the few people who are still accompanying them, it is estimated that they are all bachelors, and the whole family is not hungry when one person eats enough.
Jiang Anyi took the remaining few people to the county office, and black smoke also came out of the yamen, and all the way in, there were wolves everywhere, cow dung and horses could be seen everywhere, and there were messy things scattered on the ground. Flames came out from the six rooms on both sides of the front of the lobby, black smoke billowed and the heat was pressing, and the doors of the treasury and the treasury were open, and the inside was empty, and the things had already been looted.
After shouting for a long time, no one answered, it was not realistic to rely on these people to fight the fire, Jiang Anyi took them to the back garden, ready to walk through the back house to take a look, and unexpectedly found a few people hiding on the hill in the back garden.
Jiang Anyi said that it was Long Wei, and those people showed it
The identity is Zhou Zhen, the chief secretary of Xingling County, and three county officials, through their accounts, Jiang Anyi learned about the situation after he left: Qi Zhitu led people to kill the county lieutenant and several officials in the county government, subdued most of the officials and officials, released the criminals from the prison, and then recruited the victims into the city in the name of the government, and indulged them in burning, killing and looting. Two quarters of an hour ago, Zhou Zhen and a few people saw a fire on the mountain, and the yamen quieted down, and was discussing sending someone to dive down to take a look, but was unexpectedly discovered by Jiang Anyi.
It seems that the bandits of Zhongshanzhai took the people and the victims hostage and went to Linhua County, Jiang Anyi thought about it, and there was no way for his people to catch up with Ye Yanguang and others, so it was better to put out the fire first and settle down Xingling County.
With the help of Master Zhou, a few officials helped, shouting to gather the people who were hiding to come out to put out the fire, and with the help of the people from the dock gang, the fire gradually went out in the evening. Master Zhou was instructed to make a preliminary count of the number of surviving people in the county, and the county, which originally had nearly 40,000 people, now has less than 3,000 people left. Fortunately, Jingwa's family was careful because Tietoutuo had told the shopkeeper to be careful, and when there was chaos in the city, the shopkeeper escorted their family of three to the dock gang outside the south gate without being injured.
In the slanting sun, the city was full of green smoke, and the miserable abnormality after the catastrophe, Jiang Anyi sighed: "The sins of heaven are forgivable, and the sins of oneself cannot be lived." The bandits of Zhongshanzhai could not escape, and the poor people of the city suffered with it. ”
Jiang Anyi has secretly revealed his identity to Zhou Zhen, telling him not to show off, in front of this young legend, Zhou Zhen expressed enough awe, and carefully complimented: "The Lord Bodhisattva has a heart, saves the people from fire and water, turns the tide in the fall, Xingling County Lai Daren survives, and Zhou has thanked the father of Xingling County for his life." ”
"Lord Zhou, don't say too much polite words, I'm afraid you have to find a way to eat these 3,000 people." Jiang Anyi commanded.
Zhou Zhen said with a bitter face: "The grain storage of the Yamen and the rich households in the city have been looted by the bandits in Zhongshanzhai, where will the officials go to raise grain." ”
"Let everyone look around, see if there is any remaining grain and rice, and then send people to the four villages and eight towns to have a look, buy some food and come back, the iron is in charge, the dock gang has not been robbed, there should still be some money, take it out first." Jiang Anyi said.
Tie Toutuo readily agreed: "There are still more than 3,000 taels of silver in the gang, Tie Mou took them all out, and sent his brothers to buy grain outside." When I was fighting the fire, I found a lot of burned poultry, peeling the skin and tongs to eat meat, don't waste it, and there are fish in the river, if you can salvage some of them, you can also save the emergency. ”
Jiang Anyi said with a smile: "The idea of the iron master is good, if you can buy grain, Jiang will remember your credit, and go and do it." ”
Tietoutuo happily led people to raise food, and whoever benefited the most from this chaos was him. Tietoutuo's abacus is fine, and the dock gang helped Lord Jiang to quell the chaos in Xingling County, knowing that the biggest credit for the gang leader is his, according to Lord Jiang's tone, a seven-grade official is expected. Jingwa's family is safe and sound, and they have come up with their own ideas to buy food, and they have won the favor of Lord Jiang, what is the more than 3,000 taels of silver, and Lord Jiang will give him more than a few treasures in his blanket.
Zhou Zhen looked at Tietoutuo's back enviously, this rough man was just around the corner on Jiang Anyi's line, and it seemed that he was going to put down his body and make friends with him.
