Rebirth of the eldest daughter

Chapter 1176 Listen to your plan

After making a decision.

Bai Mingwei took one last look at the corpses on the ground, and his eyes seemed to be shattered.

She looked a little sad and regretful.

Just a moment later, she took a few deep breaths, bent down and picked up the little gray ferret, and prepared to leave.

"call out!"

The next moment, the little gray marten jumped up.

He suddenly landed on a "corpse", raised his sharp claws, and slashed across the neck.

The man's fingers moved and then calmed down.

It turns out that he is one of the murderers and is still alive.

However, he was discovered by the little gray ferret with keen hearing and ended his life completely.

Bai Mingwei waved to the little gray ferret.

The little gray ferret jumped onto Bai Mingwei's shoulder.

"Well done Hui Hui."

Bai Ming patted its head slightly, and then led it and Bai Yu towards the team.

The corpses on the ground exuded a strong smell of blood.

Blood pooled in low-lying areas, floating dead branches and leaves.

Sporadic cold rain fell continuously, the sky was gloomy and the fog lingered.

This place is comparable to hell on earth.

Brother and sister Bai Mingwei quickly joined the team.

At this time, the guards were comforting the surviving refugees.

Liu Yao was already waiting for them.

Beside him stood Yu Jianling, who looked ugly.

"Your Highness."

Brother and sister Bai Mingwei bowed with their hands in hand.

Liu Yao nodded slightly and immediately sat on the low stool.

He spoke with a heavy tone: "I have learned the general situation from the survivors. They said that this group of thugs only appeared yesterday."

"These thugs have already carried out a round of massacres on them, and countless people have died under the thugs' axes. They are the survivors who narrowly escaped yesterday."

"They didn't dare to delay on the rainy night last night and were still running desperately. They just breathed a sigh of relief when they met our team, so they hid in the woods without wanting to be discovered."

"What surprised them even more was that the gangsters caught up with them so quickly. Thinking of yesterday's tragedy and the fate they were about to face, they were so desperate that they committed suicide."

After a pause, Liu Yao spoke again: "They said that they had obviously escaped a long distance yesterday, but they smelled the smell of meat, not pork, nor poultry..."

He didn't finish the rest of the words.

His voice seemed to be wrapped in something, sour and astringent.

This is most likely the smell of meat. You can probably guess it from the fact that the bandits only left the lives of girls and children behind.

These beasts are imitating the situation in the past when natural disasters occurred, and the refugees had no choice but to choose to exchange their children for food.

When Yu Jianling heard this, he couldn't help retching: "It's inhumane! It's inhumane! It's just a beast! A beast!"

Liu Yao took a few deep breaths. His mood had not yet calmed down, but he still tried his best to calm down.

If he were just the Ninth Prince, he could vent his anger and dissatisfaction at will. But now he is the imperial envoy for disaster relief in Jiangbei. No matter what kind of storm he encounters, he must stay steady.

Because he has a heavy burden on his shoulders and cannot tolerate any arbitrariness.

He asked Bai Mingwei: "Was this situation expected by the general?"

Bai Ming shook his head slightly, then nodded: "Back to Your Highness, the situation is a bit complicated."

When Liu Yao heard this, he responded: "Then please keep it simple."

Bai Ming opened his mouth slightly and said in a deep voice: "In the past, after major disasters, some people were forced into helplessness and turned into bandits. They even gathered into groups and caused riots."

"So the emergence of bandits and mobs in Jiangbei was expected by me, and I and my brother, who is the counselor of the Ministry of War, are always prepared to deal with these situations."

"The victims turned into bandits, and the fundamental reason for the riots was survival issues. I have been working intensively to implement the disaster relief regulations in order to avoid such a situation as much as possible."

"Judging from the news I have received recently, the situation in Jiangbei is extremely bad, but it has not yet completely gotten out of control."

"If we take the official route, we will see batches of refugees fleeing famine, but we will not immediately encounter bandits or mobs who have evolved from disaster victims."

Liu Yao asked: "Then why did this happen today?"

Bai Mingwei looked solemn: "Your Highness, I believe that these bandits are not real refugees, but are pretended to be people, with the purpose of promoting riots among the victims of Jiangbei."

Immediately afterwards, Bai Mingwei recounted the conclusions that Shi Cai and Bai Yu had analyzed.

Liu Yao did not speak immediately.

Yu Jianling on the side couldn't help but yelled: "I knew that barbarian Yuan Xun was not a thing! It's really not surprising at all to say that such a sinister trick came from him."

Liu Yao spoke slowly: "If a general succeeds, all his bones will wither. What's more, in the fight between the two countries, they will naturally use all possible means."

"The floods in Jiangbei just gave him the chance to seize the opportunity. It is reasonable for him to do so."

"My king understands the bloody figures behind the dispute between the two countries, as well as the countless tragedies and blood and tears. These are inevitable."

"The king will note this in the ledger, but now is not the time to attack Yuan Xun. What the king is most concerned about is whether there is any prevention and solution for this incident."

"Whether it can be prevented from happening again and again in the future and whether the damage caused by something like this can be addressed."

Bai Mingwei took a deep look at Liu Yao, and then responded: "Wei Chen knows that Yuan Xun will definitely take this opportunity to do some dirty tricks, so he takes precautions against him."

"But most of the minister's manpower is sent to observe the water conditions in the north of the Yangtze River and cannot take care of the entire vast north of the Yangtze River. This situation is difficult to prevent."

"Such an incident happened today. It was so violent and unexpected. It shows that the other party was fully prepared and was unable to guard against it."

"And we can't guarantee that this will happen again somewhere in Jiangbei, so it's impossible to completely eliminate it. We can only try to avoid it."

"The current plan is to solve the flood problem and implement disaster relief strategies. Only if the people can survive, they will not sink their boats, leave their homes and become enemies of the imperial court."

Liu Yao heard this and nodded silently: "I agree with your statement. If you want to fundamentally solve the problem, you must solve the flood problem in Jiangbei."

"Only when the people can survive can people's hearts be united. In this way, no matter what provoking tricks the barbarians use, it will be difficult to alienate the people from the court."

"But I still have doubts. Since their purpose is to disrupt the situation in Jiangbei and trigger riots, why did they not choose official roads and places with more people, but instead chose to do it in this dark and remote place?"

Bai Yu took over the conversation: "It's not difficult to understand. First of all, official roads connect all cities and towns. If something like this happens, it will be easy to be targeted by the government, and it will be inconvenient to do it again."

"Secondly, doing things in a hidden place can arouse people's fear. As long as one or two survivors leak the news, someone will inevitably spread the rumors."

"Anyway, not many people have seen it, and no one has confirmed it. It is difficult to distinguish the true from the false. People are already panicked in this situation. When they hear this news, they will definitely be even more scared."

Liu Yao's face was condensed: "In this case, riots will happen sooner or later. But what the general said is also reasonable. Our goal cannot be changed, otherwise we will lose a lot for a small amount."

"However, this matter cannot be ignored completely. When the situation becomes worse and worse, even if we solve the flood problem, we will face irreversible consequences."

Speaking of this, Liu Yao was extremely solemn: "So, this matter must be resolved, and I would like to hear your plan."
