Chapter 57 Shooting Refugees
Magistrate Su could not help but feel a chill on his back. There were so many heads of people under the city wall, mixed with a terrible stench.
It's already chilling.
If this is not all, then how many refugees are there?
"Those refugees who are not here... they have entered the village!" Shen Zhiyan said in a deep voice, his voice full of coldness.
The Yu family’s guess was correct, fortunately everyone prepared in advance.
Otherwise, encountering these refugees would really be a dead end.
However, other villages...
Shen Zhiyan felt a chill on his back, hoping that they would listen and evacuate as soon as possible.
However, Shen Zhiyan's hopes were dashed.
Not only did those people not enter the mountains, they even clashed with the refugees.
There have been countless casualties.
Magistrate Su's voice suddenly rose: "Entering the village? There are six or seven villages outside the city! Thousands of people!"
He didn't dare to think too much, the more he thought about it, the more scared he became.
If thousands of ordinary people encountered these tens of thousands of refugees, the result would be self-evident.
"Your Majesty, this..."
Shen Zhiyan said: "I have already informed them, but whether they listen or not is up to them."
Magistrate Su's heart sank and his face looked unhappy.
As far as he knew, the surrounding villages had already planted the seedlings. Under such circumstances, few people would be willing to leave.
He couldn't help but curse inwardly: "Useless thing, you didn't listen to what I said, you deserve to lose your life!"
Seeing that Shen Zhiyan didn't say anything else, County Magistrate Su also shut his mouth.
Now he will do whatever Shen Zhiyan points to. Even if there are problems in the future, there will be someone to support them.
Shen Zhiyan suddenly asked: "Is there a small road out of the city?"
Magistrate Su was startled: "You want it?"
"Find two people to go out of the city and check the situation of the nearby villages."
Magistrate Su quickly responded, "I'll do it right away!"
"Wait! If you find any refugees, try to lure them over here!"
"If we let them stay in the village forever, I'm afraid the villagers won't get any benefits."
"I understand!"
After Magistrate Su left, Shen Zhiyan looked at the long queue of refugees below, wondering what he was thinking.
At this moment, the officials had already begun distributing the cooked rice porridge.
The refugee group was well-organized, but Shen Zhiyan felt something was wrong.
The refugees we met at the Goddess Temple and in Yunbai County that day were not like this.
At least not so obedient.
As expected, the team below became restless.
A small group of refugees who appeared out of nowhere joined the team, causing dissatisfaction among the people.
In an instant, the scene changed rapidly.
Some refugees started to curse, while others were pushed to the ground.
Some people also joined in to protect their relatives and friends.
Even more innocent people are harmed.
It was no use for the officers who were maintaining order to shout at them; instead, they were stared at viciously by the small group of refugees.
That look didn't look like he was looking at anyone.
Several of them swarmed forward, shouting, "The court won't care about us!"
"This porridge distribution is just a pretense!"
“The drought has lasted for more than a year, why did they only start distributing porridge after we arrived here?”
"They must have poisoned this porridge to kill us!"
"As long as we die, they can continue to eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks, and they don't have to worry about these things at all!"
“They are all dog officials!”
As soon as he finished speaking, a man raised a wooden stick and hit the officer next to him.
In an instant, the refugees and officials were in chaos.
While the official was trying to escape in a panic, he accidentally overturned the pot of cooking rice porridge.
The porridge, which was originally full of fragrance, was now mixed with dirt from the ground and was no longer edible.
Some of the refugees were stunned for a moment, while others immediately rose up in rebellion upon seeing this.
"See? They really don't want us to survive!"
Shen Zhiyan narrowed his eyes and looked at the chaos below, locking his sight on one of the refugees.
He picked up the bow and arrow beside him, drew the bow and shot the arrow in one go.
The straight arrow shot out and hit the man right between the eyebrows.
The refugee who raised his stick and swung at the officer died instantly.
The group of refugees suddenly became as quiet as chickens.
"The government killed people! The government killed... um..."
With a thud, another person fell to the ground and died.
Only then did the refugees all look up at a young man standing on the city wall that was dozens of meters high.
Shen Zhiyan stopped drawing the bow and shooting the arrow, and waved his hands to both sides.
A large group of archers appeared, pointing their drawn bows at the crowd of refugees below.
Shen Zhiyan's voice was as cold as ice: "Whoever catches the troublemaker can be the first in line to get porridge!"
"If anyone stirs up trouble again, kill them!"
The refugees looked at each other, not knowing what to do for a moment.
At this moment, Shen Zhiyan drew his bow and shot the arrow again, killing the person who was trying to escape in the crowd.
"The capital is a long way away, and the disaster has affected more than just Nanyang Prefecture. The court is already mobilizing food. If you can't wait, let's see who is faster, you running or my arrow!"
"There is only this much rice porridge today. If one pot is missing, everyone will have one less to eat. If it is spilled again, there will be nothing left to eat!"
Shen Zhiyan's voice was not loud, but every refugee heard it.
Nothing is more important than staying alive!
"It's them! It's because of them that we are in chaos!"
"That's right! Just now I saw someone drinking porridge. If it weren't for them, we wouldn't be short of porridge!"
"Fellow villagers! Catch them! If you catch them, you'll have food to eat!"
This time, the refugees swarmed over and arrested the entire team that had caused the trouble.
After the police took over, they sent the man directly to the county jail.
Shen Zhiyan had no time to deal with these people at the moment as Songyang County was running out of food.
We must see the food the day after tomorrow morning at the latest, otherwise there will be a big mess!
"Tell Magistrate Su that I will be back soon, at the latest the day after tomorrow!"
Shen Zhiyan left these words and rode away on his horse.
When Magistrate Su heard the news, his face fell.
But facing difficulties, he had to stand up again.
After barely holding out for a day, Magistrate Su became a little timid because there were more refugees outside the city.
Shen Zhiyan returned in the evening, along with dozens of carts of food.
Magistrate Su was greatly shocked. Where did he get the food in just over a day?
Shen Zhiyan casually said, "It was borrowed from the Qian family in Nanyang."
Magistrate Su shuddered and suddenly remembered.
The Qian family of Nanyang Prefecture is a famous merchant family. What’s more amazing is that the Qian family of Nanyang is the maternal family of the current Concubine Hui.
The head of the Qian family is Concubine Hui’s uncle!
If the prince of Zhenguo Duke came forward to borrow grain, he could indeed borrow the grain.
County Magistrate Su felt a little sad. If he thought about it carefully, he and the Qian family were actually distant relatives!
He is from a branch of the Su family in Beijing, and the mistress of the Su family in Beijing is the legitimate daughter of the Qian family.
How can they not be considered relatives?
"Don't think about it. This amount of food is enough to sustain us for a while. Let's comfort the refugees first."
"By the way, how is the situation of sending people out to investigate?"
Magistrate Su quickly reported: "According to the information we have gathered, only Yujia Village was completely evacuated, and the other villages all had people left. Dawang Village was the worst hit, with almost no one left alive!"
