Shen Wei and Lin Yingyue, who were sitting in the car, were also a little at a loss at this time. Although Shen Wei is strong in martial arts, in the face of these unarmed refugees who just want to beg for food, she can't kill indiscriminately, right?

But they came from Jinling, so they didn't bring anything to eat at all, and besides, even if they did, it wouldn't be enough for these people! When the time comes, it will cause more people to besiege it...... Because, they don't care if you have anything to eat or not! If it's more serious, I'm afraid that these two carriages will be overturned and robbed of them, it is also possible! Isn't that what these fools are? Therefore, at this time, there must be no overflow of compassion......

"Sister Lin, you have come to Yangzhou more often, do you know where we are going to Yangzhou now?" Shen Wei opened a gap in the car curtain and asked Lin Yingyue. And Lin Yingyue heard it, so she also looked outside secretly through that gap. But outside, there was nothing to see except the sounds of wailing and begging, and the many refugees blocking her view.

So, Lin Yingyue had no choice but to shake her head at Shen Wei and replied, "Sister, there are so many people outside here that I can't see clearly." However, depending on the time...... We should have just arrived in Yangzhou now, and this should be in Fanshui County...... It should be half the way from Yangzhou City. ”

Fanshui County is on the border between Yangzhou and Jinling, and the distance between Jinling and Yangzhou is actually about the same, but it is under the management of Yangzhou. And since Jin Yun, the prefect of Yangzhou, took office in Yangzhou, the county orders under Yangzhou have also been purged by him. And most of these newly appointed county orders are his own manpower.

It stands to reason that the head of this county should have been appointed by the new recruits of the central government, but for Nanqing's political system, which is almost paralyzed, the so-called talent selection and official evaluation have not changed for several years. And Jin Yun's move is obviously to once again draw a clear line with Nanqing's officialdom.

"The last time my sister came, was she like this?" After listening to Lin Yingyue's words, Shen Wei put down the curtain in her hand, turned around and asked.

And after Lin Yingyue heard it, she still shook her head: "Although there are many refugees in Yangzhou, the last time I came, when I passed by this Fan Shui, I didn't meet any refugees!" It is not until it is close to Yangzhou that those refugees will gradually increase...... However, it will not block the official road like it is today......"

"I see...... I think, this must be the soldiers under the county order of Fan Shui who are lazy, this official road is like this, there should be a soldier here, if it is so laissez-faire, who would dare to go to Yangzhou? ”

Lin Yingyue was reminded by Shen Wei for a while, and for a while remembered that she came to Yangzhou last month, and nodded: "What my sister said is right!" Last time, there were indeed many soldiers patrolling on this official road, and when they entered and exited Yangzhou, they had to pay a sum of silver...... Those refugees used to kneel on both sides of the road and beg, but they have never been so openly blocking the official road as they are now...... It seems that this Fan Shui's soldiers are really lazy! ”

Shen Wei didn't say any more, just sighed softly, and said to herself helplessly: "I didn't expect this kind of thing to happen, I'm afraid that the road ahead is not easy to walk...... When I arrived in Yangzhou like this, I was afraid that it was already night! This ......"

For a while, Shen Wei and Lin Yingyue didn't know what to say. The two of them went to Yangzhou to worship their deceased mothers in this Qingming Festival......

And just when the two of them were in a dilemma, Brother Shi had already walked to the front of the car at this time. After lifting his feet and getting into the car, he did not lift the curtain and enter the car, but stood on the wheel of the car and shouted to the people in front of him: "Fathers and fellow villagers, I hope you can make it convenient, I am in a hurry to go out today, there is nothing to eat in this car, I hope you can make a way for me!" When I come back from Ming'er, I will give you white flour buns here again, so that everyone can eat to their heart's content! ”

After Brother Shi shouted, those refugees who stood in the way, then you look at me, I look at you, and his face became hesitant...... Because after all, they were just a group of refugees, and they had begged for a passing caravan, but they were only kneeling on the side of the road, and no one dared to come up to stop the carriage. In addition to the reason that there were soldiers at that time, the speed of those merchant vehicles was also extremely fast, and most of them were rampage, and they didn't care about anything else.

If you had stepped forward and been hit by that carriage, those soldiers wouldn't have cared about that! If you hit and die...... Like those refugees who died of hunger and disease, they burned their bodies in the wasteland, and the matter was over!

And the reason why Shi Yuan and his party were stopped today was not only because there were no soldiers patrolling in the past today, but also because of the rain, Shi Yuan and their speed of driving was not very fast, plus there was no soup soup in the government today, and they were also hungry, so they ...... Only then did someone get bold and stop the carriage, wanting to ask for a bite or two......

This one person took the lead, and the rest of the people naturally stood up. It's like the group of people Shi Yuan met on Yelian Island. Even if it is a matter that is beneficial to them, they will only stand up if someone has tried it clearly......

After Brother Shi finished speaking, he saw that those people looked hesitant. Standing on the cart, and seeing more and more people gathering from afar, he took the whip from the driver's hand, raised it high, and shouted: "I have already said this, if you refuse to give way, then blame me for the chariot!" If he hits someone and falls, he will be unlucky! ”

The faces of the refugees who gathered around began to waver. And Brother Shi took advantage of this, so he hurriedly put his head into the carriage and asked Shen Wei, who was stunned in the carriage, "Xiaowei, do you have anything to eat in this car?" ”

Shen Wei didn't know what Shi Yuan was going to do at all, nodded hesitantly, and said, "Yes, there are, but it's just some pastries, and it's not enough for these people at all......"

"Get it out!" Brother Shi didn't wait for Shen Wei to finish speaking, so he interrupted her.

Shen Wei saw that Shi Yuan was so anxious, so she didn't say more, but just took out a package from the camera obscura in the car, and the package was wrapped in a wooden box...... Brother Shi took the box in Shen Wei's hand without saying a word, opened it and took a look, only to see that the wooden box contained some pastries! Brother Shi then closed the box again, took the box, stood on the wheel, and shouted: "I count to three, if no one gives way, I will really drive the horse!" ”

The people in front of them have retreated to both sides at this time, but the newcomers around them have made the road narrower and narrower!

"Three...... Second...... "Brother Shi began to count. The people on both sides were still around, but the people in front of the car had begun to disperse...... As before, for these refugees, when one thing becomes a collective good, no one wants to be the first to rush anymore, and all of them do not want to be "cannon fodder".

But...... Brother Shi counted it, but what he raised was not the whip in his hand, but the box of pastries he was holding in his other hand...... "one"! As soon as the words fell, Brother Shi threw the box of pastries in his hand to the side! The box containing the pastry was tampered with by him before, so when it was in the air, the box opened by itself. And then ...... The cakes in the box fell to the ground like a goddess scattering flowers......
