After being exiled, I led my whole family to rebel.

Xu Yinxi still felt scared, holding Feng'er's hand and looking up and down, patting her chest: "You damn girl, you are so courageous. Thanks to your shocking greeting to the city lord, the situation just now was broken. Today's situation This matter must be remembered as your first contribution!"

Feng'er was a little embarrassed now. Now that she thought about it, she realized that it was dangerous at that time.

"I was so frightened by so many corpses. I just thought that there must be no more dead people. I also thought that only a girl could control them, so I shouted like that for some reason."

"Good girl!" Xu Yinxi patted her again, "You saved a lot of people tonight! Let's clean up the battlefield quickly and go see and support Sixth Sister!"

In front of the dam at the entrance of the Zhangjiacun ancestral hall, this is the only piece of pure land that is not contaminated by blood and water.

Xu Qingying ordered people to cut off Li Datou's head and throw it into the center of the yard, which instantly shocked everyone present!

Xu Qingying, surrounded by Liu Dazhuang, Zhao Bantou and others, slowly walked into the venue. Wherever she went, everyone retreated to both sides.

On the other hand, the rogue bandits didn't know who was taking the lead. They all knelt on the ground and said, "Greetings to the city lord——"

Xu Qingying scolded: "Stand up. I hate people kneeling on me the most in my life. If you have anything to say, say it standing up!"

The refugees all looked at each other at a loss, and they couldn't figure out Xu Qingying's temper, so no one dared to stand up first.

Until Bantou Zhao added: "Stand up, the city lord doesn't like people with weak knees."

After hearing this, everyone stood up sparsely and looked at the thin young man in the middle with confusion, fear and uneasiness.

The people of Zhangjiacun stood on the other side. Almost half of the young elite were dead, and the rest were a group of old people and children. At this moment, they stared at the rogue team opposite, wishing to eat their flesh and blood.

Xu Qingying pointed to the head in the center of the field, "I just joined you last night. I didn't know that your so-called siege turned out to be burning, killing, looting and torture. When I saw it today, I was very sad. The world is declining, and there are people who care so little about human life. This The behavior of such beasts is despicable! Li Datou is dead, which is an advantage for them. When he entered the village just now, not only Li Datou, but also some people took advantage of the chaos to rape women and set fire to the fields! I, Xu Zhenying, will never tolerate my subordinates There are such heartless beasts! Come on, get all these people up here!"

The words made the people in Zhangjiacun burst into tears and howl, and they just wanted to pounce on them and tear them apart.

Squad leader Zhao waited for the release and pressed a dozen people in one after another. When the refugees saw it, it was indeed as Xu Qingying said, that they were all the people who had committed all kinds of crimes, including burning, killing, robbing, and robbing.

Those people looked at the woman in the candlelight in horror. They obviously did not accept the fact that the emperor had changed. They even tried to rush into the crowd while roaring.

"I know that most of you refugees came here just for a bite to eat. You are all from the countryside. You know how important food is, how important fields and houses are. You also lost your relatives and fields and left your hometown. Poor people, you have suffered a lot yourself, and you must not bear to see the villagers in Zhangjia Village suffer the same thing as you! You were all coerced and induced by Li Datou, and you were forced to become a murderer!"

Xu Qingying's voice was not loud, but she spoke every word slowly enough for everyone present to hear clearly.

Someone heard this and sobbed softly, "We also escaped from a disaster at home. I don't want to kill anyone, but if I don't kill someone, I will either starve to death or be killed by Li Datou. Who doesn't want to live well in this world? We just don’t want to starve, how come we’re in this situation now——”

"City Lord, I didn't kill anyone! I never killed anyone -"

"I haven't killed anyone either!"

"The murderers are these people who are tied up. Kill these people quickly and pay for the lives of the people in Zhangjiacun!"

The refugees were filled with indignation and began to testify against the bandits who had killed others.

The people in Zhangjiacun looked at each other in confusion, some of them confused as to what the fuss was about.

"These people must be killed! People in Zhangjiacun, please keep your eyes open and watch carefully!"

Xu Qingying waved her hand, and Bantou Zhao and others swung the long swords at their waists, and more than a dozen heads fell to the ground instantly.

The head rolled around on the ground and finally stopped.

Someone spat it out with a "wow" sound.

The people in Zhangjiacun clapped their hands and cheered.

"Zhangjiacun's debt has been settled. It was Li Datou who didn't set the rules before. Now that I'm here, I have to say something ugly first."

Everyone could only listen attentively.

"First, don't kill people indiscriminately."

Everyone nodded frequently, and a refugee immediately expressed his position: "City Lord, we are all honest farmers, and we don't like killing people. Previously, killing people was a last resort-"

"I won't talk about the past, only the future. Article [-]: Burning, killing, looting and torture are not allowed."

Some refugees immediately said: "City Lord, we have no food. The government will not distribute food to us, and the refugees are not allowed to enter the city to work. If we don't rob, will we have to wait to starve to death?"

"We don't want to kill people, but we don't want to starve to death either-"

"This is something I should solve. I will think of a way as soon as possible to let everyone have enough to eat. You just need to abide by these two rules."

Immediately, some refugees questioned, "If we don't rob the nearby villages of food, what else can we do? Could it be that the food is falling out of thin air?"

Xu Qingying knew that she had just come to power, and if she didn't tell people about her ugly appearance, she might not be able to convince the public.

The resource that Zhangjiacun and the refugees compete for is food. If the food problem is not solved, the remaining 1000 refugees down there can rebel against her at any time.

But for a while, she couldn't think of any solution.

Fang Xun then immediately said: "Zhangjia Village Chief, would you like to ask if there is any larger county town nearby?"

The head of Zhangjia Village immediately said: "Sixty kilometers to the southwest, there is Lan County. Lan County is extremely wealthy and has many large households. Their county magistrate has also stocked up grain in advance, and some of it has surplus grain."

The head of Zhangjia Village just wanted to send God off immediately.

But Xu Qingying couldn't get the team of more than 1000 people to unite so quickly. She waved her hand and signaled the people in Zhangjia Village to leave first, "Village Chief, let me lend you your precious land and we will discuss how to leave."

Everyone in the Zhang family hurriedly agreed.

After the Zhang family left, Xu Qingying felt inexplicably nervous facing the 1000-plus people.

She felt that her mood was heavy at the moment.

But when she saw the familiar and eager faces of Miao, Xu Degui, Xu Yinxi, and Feng'er, she seemed to feel a little calmer. "Fang Xun, immediately take someone to count the remaining grain and grass."

"Xu Yinxi, take people to count the damage today and count the number of survivors."

"Team Leader Zhao, bring me the map."

"The rest of you, repair where you are! If anything happens, don't blame me for being merciless!"

Orders were issued one after another, and everyone took action quickly. Only the refugees simply sat there, waiting for the next order.

However, Fang Xun soon came back with a gloomy expression, "Girl, they have brought all the food and grass in the city."

Xu Qingying was stunned for a moment, then slammed the table, "This Li Datou!! He has no intention of going back at all!"

Fang Xun also knew the seriousness of the matter. All the food and grass had been transported by the rear troops, which meant that Huang, Xu Meixiao and others who stayed behind were simply waiting to starve to death!

Li Datou was ready to abandon the least combative people from the beginning and let them starve to death in the city!

What a vicious heart!

Fang Xun immediately asked the key question, "If we go to pick him up now, it will take a day to go back and forth, and we will need food and grass. It will be too conspicuous, and the refugees may not agree."

"Let's not mention it for now, let me think of a solution. How is the food and grass situation?"

"It's less than ten stones. And most of them are corn." Xu Qingying roughly calculated that one stone is about one hundred catties, which is only enough for the team's rations for one or two days.

But Team Leader Zhao had already brought over the map and confirmed that what Zhangjia Village Chief said was true. There was indeed a large Lan County not far from Zhangjia Village.

Xu Qingying made a prompt decision and provided the refugees with two options. One was to follow her, but they had to listen to her arrangements, abide by her rules, and respect her as their leader.The other is to receive a bag of rations and leave on your own.

Everyone didn't believe it at first, because Li Datou, in the name of rebellion, would not allow them to leave, and there would be people guarding them along the way.But Xu Qingying let them decide whether to stay or go.

Some people were immediately delighted, while others were undecided.

It's good to be able to leave, and you can take a bag of rations with you. Whether you go to live with relatives or something else is up to you.

But most people lost their loved ones in the floods and were alone. They didn't know who they could seek refuge with. They were afraid of meeting other refugees when traveling alone, so they couldn't make a decision for a while.

"It's a very important matter. I'll give you half an hour to think about it. Those who have decided to stay will stay, but they must listen to me. They are not allowed to kill innocent people indiscriminately, and they are not allowed to burn, kill, loot and torture. Those who want to leave, come here Sign up, take a bag of food, and you can leave now."

People were registering one after another. Most of them were forced to stay by Li Datou. They had relatives to go to, and they didn't trust Xu Qingying very much, so they made up their minds to leave.

Some of them have no relatives and their whole families are in the team. If they leave and become alone, they may be starved to death at any time or have their food taken away by other refugees. Thinking about it this way, it is better to follow Xu Qingying. At least he will not force them to stay. Next, don't allow them to kill people indiscriminately. It sounds more reliable than Li Datou.

Not long after, Xu Yinxi came to report the battle losses: "Two hundred and eight of our people died, and there are still 61 people left. Hu Wei took some people away midway and disappeared."

Hu Wei?

In all this busyness, I forgot about this person.

Xu Qingying quickly summoned the person who was responsible for transporting grain and grass and asked if he had seen where Hu Wei had gone. The person was hesitant at first, but then he told the truth under Xu Qingying's questioning. His knees softened and he knelt down.

"City Lord, there is still my mother in the city. Please have mercy on me, City Lord. I really don't want to follow Li Datou and kill people! That Li Datou is nothing. After he looted Ye County, he moved away all the food and grass, and asked Hu Wei to hide some of the food and grass. .Hu Wei left with a lot of food and grass on the way, probably because Li Datou wanted to hide some food for his own people!"

Xu Qingying quickly helped the man up and said: "I told you not to kneel down. Get up and speak. There is not only your mother in Ye County, but also my sister and grandmother. Naturally, I can't leave them alone. I was originally planning to send food back, but now There’s no need to worry about it anymore. I’m just afraid that other people will be dissatisfied, so I’ll keep this matter a secret for now.”

The man agreed with tears of gratitude, "City Lord, I will listen to you!"

Xu Yinxi came to report and said that there were about 200 people who were willing to leave. They were all going to Jinzhou Prefecture to visit relatives. Some of them were self-sufficient and wanted to try their luck outside. Xu Qingying naturally let them go, but in the end they found that there were only one thousand people left in the team. There are more than 500 people.

Including those left behind in Ye County, there are up to 600 people.

The burden of 600 people fell on her.

After a while, people from Zhangjia Village came. The village chief Zhang came tremblingly on a crutch, making a gesture of bowing. Xu Qingying quickly sent someone to support him.

Seeing the way Zhangjia Village Chief hesitated to speak, Xu Qingying seemed to understand, so she led the people to a secluded place, and the outside was guarded by people she trusted.

Zhangjia Village Chief hesitated, as if he couldn't make up his mind for a long time, but Xu Qingying spoke first: "I know what the old man's purpose is. Are you here to discuss the food we stole?"

Zhangjia Village Chief's eyes trembled. Seeing that the queen didn't show any sign of anger, he became a little more courageous. "I've just inquired about it. You just joined this bandit team last night. With all due respect, you guys." He has outstanding manners and doesn't look like a bandit, so why would he help someone like Li Datou to commit evil?"

Xu Qingying sighed, "Old man, to be honest, although we are refugees, our family is rich, and the children in the family are all educated people. However, bad luck caused a disaster. I wanted to go to Jinzhou Mansion to seek refuge with my relatives, but I didn't know that we had gone all the way. There are rogue bandits everywhere. Especially Li Datou. As soon as we entered Ye County, we were forced to stay in the team. To be honest, we didn't know that he was such a ruthless person before. We had known that he was doing this kind of burning, killing and torture. Even if we are beheaded, we will never disdain his company."

Xu Huiming listened calmly beside her, thinking to herself that her sister was really a genius.

These few words moved the head of Zhangjia Village to tears.

The village chief of Zhangjiacun also sighed repeatedly, thinking of most of the people in the village who died, and he couldn't blame Xu Qingying for this.

He finally understood that Xu Qingying was the most conscientious among the bandits and the only one willing to help their Zhangjiacun.If Xu Qingying is offended, then Zhangjiacun will have no chance of survival.

The head of Zhangjia Village did not forget the purpose of his trip. He thought about it and asked cautiously: "In that case, what are you going to do with the food that you rushed into the village and snatched away?"

king?

Xu Qingying always felt that this title was strange.

But now, it would be too hypocritical to say that he is not the king of the mountain.

When the rogue band broke into Zhangjiacun earlier, they were originally going for food. They looted almost the entire Zhangjiacun and left no food left with the people of Zhangjiacun.

If they were all taken away, the people in Zhangjiacun would either starve to death or become refugees like them and rob them everywhere.

But if she stayed, what would happen to the food and fodder for the more than 1000 people under her control?
