Chapter 24 Mercy
"Push harder, push harder."

"Stride forward, hehehe."

On the official road leading to Quanjiang County.

It was mighty, with hundreds of horse-drawn carriages walking in front, followed by a team of mules with a size of a thousand people.

And on both sides of the team.

The [-] elite soldiers were dressed in sharp clothes, and the leaders of more than a dozen were riding on tall horses. All of them were wearing bright armor, with hand crossbows, knives and guns on their backs.

"Report!"

"Twenty miles ahead is Quanjiang County."

The army goes out.

The most important thing is to explore the horse.

32 lean cavalry shuttled back and forth, and every time the grain transportation team passed by, they would take the first step to find out the situation within a few miles, minimizing the possibility of being ambushed.

"The people in Ping'an Road are quite sensible. I thought there would be twists and turns on the way to transport the grain, but I didn't expect it to be so smooth."

Tiger stripes right now.

Huangfuqi held the reins in one hand, and the silver spear in the other: "It seems that the wish to fight Ping'an Dao can only be suppressed."

aside.

Jiang Xuan said lightly: "The reason why people from Ping'an Road attacked the government's granaries was because Zhou Zhifu ordered that all places not be allowed to open granaries to release grain. They took the risk in order to prevent the common people from starving to death. In sum, we have one goal. That’s disaster relief, just in a different way.”

Huangfuqi nodded: "People in Ping An Dao are really stupid. Why don't you hide in the dark and live well? If you have to jump out and be a hero, you're looking for death."

Jiang Xuan didn't answer.

This kind of thing can't be said. If Ping'an Road didn't attack Guancang, it wouldn't expose itself.

But on the other hand, without them taking granaries to release food and distributing it to the people, the disaster victims in Quanjiang County would not have persisted for so long. I am afraid that more than half of them would have starved to death.

Although I don't want to say.

But from the perspective of the victims, Ping'an Road is really a light, burning itself and illuminating the entire Quanjiang County.

Unfortunately.

Although Jiang Xuan understands the difficulties of these people, the laws of the country are ruthless, and these things done in the way of peace are acceptable according to the situation, but according to the law and the country, crimes cannot be punished, and he is just a person who handles affairs.

drive!
drive! !

It was muddy all the way.

A group of people hurried and hurried to arrive at Quanjiang before dark.

"Who is the envoy?"

Jiang Xuan and his party just arrived.

The Quanjiang County Magistrate, who had received the news in advance, led the county government officials and gentry to welcome him out: "Quanjiang County Magistrate Kong Lingci, see you, I have seen you, Special Envoy."

Jiang Xuan looked up.

County magistrate Kong looked 80 or [-] years old, and he felt drunk. When looking at people, he had to squint his eyes, as if his old eyes were dim and he couldn't see people clearly.

"Magistrate Kong, is this year Gui Geng?"

Jiang Xuan couldn't help asking.

"Don't dare to talk about the price, the Geng year is eighty-two, and it will be 83 soon."

County Magistrate Kong smiled flatteringly: "But don't worry, my lord. I'm not old. The old Changshou Gong just became an official at the age of 97. I'm 14 years younger than his old man."

Upon hearing this.

Jiang Xuan also sighed: "At an octogenarian age, I still stick to my post. With you in Quanjiang County, the prefect of Zhou can feel at ease."

The county magistrate Kong didn't hear the sarcasm in his words, and said happily: "Yes, Zhou Zhifu thinks highly of me. As a county magistrate, I was promoted by the old man from the county magistrate."

Done.

The county magistrate Kong hurriedly asked again: "Is the old man in the prefect of Zhou still in good health?"

"A solar eclipse with rice and ten catties of meat. Although I am 63 this year, I am still in good spirits."

Jiang Xuan said happily, and then looked at the gang of officials: "These are"

"The magistrate of Quanjiang County, He Sihai, please refer to your lord."

"The master of Quanjiang County, Lu Mingyou, please refer to your lord."

"The chief arrester of Quanjiang County, Xiong Tiankuo, please see my lord."

A series of big and small officials.

He didn't have much interest in other people, Jiang Xuan, but the chief hunter, Xiong Tiankuo, seeing his strong and powerful appearance, couldn't help saying: "Which faction does Xiong catcher come from?"

Xiong Tiankuo was a little embarrassed, bowed his head and said: "Returning to the adults, the villain is from a martial arts school in the county, and has never joined a sect."

From a martial arts school?

That means there is no birth.

Seeing Xiong Tiankuo's appearance, Jiang Xuan thought he was a good player in horizontal training.

But the martial arts gym is still a martial arts gym in the county. To put it bluntly, it only teaches some street skills, and he doesn't have much skill after thinking about it. Jiang Xuan quickly lost interest in him.

"Take an inventory of the food I brought, and set up thirty cauldrons at the gate of the county government office before it gets dark."

Jiang Xuan glanced around, looked around the roadside, and looked eagerly at the victims here: "From today on, every morning and afternoon, we will give porridge for two hours each."

Hear this.

No one else complained, only Xiong Butou felt that something was wrong: "My lord, there are 10,000+ victims in Quanjiang County, [-] pots are not too few, there are hundreds of people behind a pot, it's okay to come first, Don’t those who arrive later have to queue for an hour or two, going from breakfast to lunch.”

Jiang Xuan was expressionless: "I just want them to queue up and wait for a whole morning. Their eyes are dimmed and their legs are trembling, so that ordinary people with surplus food will not come to the disaster victims. Fight for it."

"My lord." Xiong Butou said anxiously: "Many of the victims are old, weak, women and children. What's the difference between asking them to line up for an hour or two and killing them directly?"

talking.

Looking at the food team behind Jiang Xuan, Xiong Butou remonstrated: "Add a few more pots, you have brought so much food and grass, even if you add ten more, enough people have died in Quanjiang."

Shaking his head.

Jiang Xuan still refused.

This time he brought 300 dans of relief food, totaling [-] million catties.

But here comes the question, how long will 10,000 million catties of food be enough to feed these 300+ victims?

Ten days.

half a month.

Or a month?

You must know that this is food looted from the Gao family, and the real government relief food is still in preparation.

If you let them eat freely, it would be good if the relief food from the imperial court could reach Longhua within half a month.

What to do if you can't get there.

Are you going to rob the aristocratic family again?
Although I don't want to say.

But when the time comes to make a decision, you have to make a decision.

And queuing is also a kind of screening. Jiang Xuan calls this: "survival of the fittest, elimination of the weak." '

"These two bags are salt, and each bag weighs a hundred catties."

"Add some when cooking porridge, otherwise long-term salt deficiency will lead to osteoporosis and general weakness."

Looking at the rising smoke and the twenty cauldrons.

Jiang Xuan ordered without turning his head: "Junior Brother Huangfu, you worked harder a few days ago. These disaster victims are very hungry. Some people may not want to line up. You have to help them set the rules."

As for how to set up the rules.

Jiang Xuan didn't say it, because heavy codes should be used in troubled times, Huangfuqi will not understand this truth.

"The County Magistrate Kong of Quanjiang is a drunkard."

Huangfuqi said at the side: "I think that among the officials in Quanjiang, only Xiong Tutou is quite useful. Now he doesn't quite understand the reason why you do this, brother. I think I should find a chance to talk to him. .”

Jiang Xuan didn't agree or object, but talked about something else: "Privately, you contact the officials in the county government office, ask them what they think of Ping'an Dao, and then ask about it in the past half month. Is there anything impressive in Quanjiang County?"

Huangfuqi whispered: "County Chancellor, Chief Registrar, Master, and those inspectors."

"Maybe there are people who are safe, or maybe not, who knows." Jiang Xuan didn't care about it: "Let the wind blow for a while, and let the smell of the water here first."

Huangfuqi thought for a while, then sighed: "Senior brother is indeed merciful."
