Chapter 70 The Imperial Envoy
Author: Li Wenwen
The reason why Shen Yunxi wants to test the reaction of the officers and soldiers is because this place is not suitable for living.
After observation, half a month later, when the flood season comes, the place where they live will be flooded and they will not be able to walk into the dense forest, so they must find a new habitat.
Chief Tian also saw officers and soldiers chasing the bandits, which was a good thing for the people fleeing famine.
So Tamura Chief shouted: "Don't leave, everyone. Those officers and soldiers are chasing the bandits. We are not bandits, so don't be afraid. Let us fight with the officers and soldiers to kill those bandits who have done many evil things and take revenge."
The villagers who were about to escape listened to Chief Tian's words and climbed up one by one.
When they saw the robber being chased like a rabbit by the officers and soldiers, they breathed a sigh of relief and picked up the gold leaf mud cakes one by one. When the robber approached, they threw them out and continued to smash them.
Kill those turtle grandsons!
At this time, there was a young man in official uniform behind the officers and soldiers, sitting on a horse with an expressionless face. It was he who ordered the robbers to be killed mercilessly.
"Your Majesty, there are refugees attacking the bandits in front." General Li did not dare to be careless. Not far from his defenders, there were many bandit strongholds, the most famous of which was Wolf Mountain.
He once declared to the imperial court to suppress bandits, but due to lack of military spending, no action was taken.
Now the government colludes with these bandits to rob people fleeing famine and send them to the mines. This is too rampant.
People fleeing famine have suffered a lot.
Due to the huge cost of disaster relief, the imperial court guided the people to flee from the famine areas to the south. It was very hard along the way, but they would have enough to eat when they got to the south. After the disaster year passed, they could return to their hometowns.
But this year, many people fleeing famine have disappeared, and the population of Daqi has decreased. Without ordinary people, who will farm the land? Who will perform military service? Who will pay taxes? Who will perform labor service?
Imperial envoy Zhang Zhao looked at the angry people and ordered: "General Li, order the officers and soldiers to surround the bandits and prevent them from escaping. Don't stop the people from expressing their anger!"
Only when the anger in the hearts of the people is released will these fleeing people trust the government again.
After all, the government had previously raised boat prices at the Qingmei River mouth, forcing these people to cross the river and wander near the Qingmei River mouth. So the bandits took the opportunity to rob the people.
Smart people can naturally see this connection. They hate bandits and even the government.
The bandits failed to break through the siege several times. When they approached the large pile of rocks, they were hit by the hungry people with mud cakes. Once hit, although they would not die, the pain would be worse than death.
There were still pursuers behind. This breakout failed, and some of them were killed or injured. Seeing that the Mazi bandits brought hundreds of people, only a few dozen were left.
Seeing that the resistance was futile, Wang Mazi immediately put down his weapon and knelt on the ground. "Sir, please have mercy on me! My lord, please have mercy on me! I was a good citizen, but I was robbed by robbers in Evil Wolf Mountain. I became a robber in order to survive. Please spare my life, I know." wrong."
"Spare my life!"
"Youngster, I don't dare to do it anymore, please forgive me, sir!"
The robbers were frightened to death and their hearts were broken.
At this time, Shen Yunxi, Village Chief Tian and others could not only see the confrontation between the officials and the bandits, but also hear their conversations.
Chief Tamura said excitedly: "We are saved, we are saved!"
When Shen Yunxi saw it, she didn't dare to be careless. She whispered: "Don't worry, village chief. Let us take a look."
Chief Tamura nodded: "Yes, let's take another look."
