Travel through troubled times and escape famine with the system

No one knows what Lu You and Qian Zhaode said, but Qian Zhaode has indeed changed.

The effect of the decisive killing was very obvious. Those strong men who were walking on foot threw their weapons to the ground one after another.

In order to eliminate the disaster, Qian Zhaode also directly ordered the remaining constables under his command to recover the remaining weapons that had been distributed.

Lu You originally wanted to take away all these weapons.

After all, if the Jin soldiers really chased after them, even if these dozens of swords were left behind, they would not be of any use.

But if it is used by someone to do evil, the people outside the city will suffer.

But when those dozens of knives were piled on the ground, Lu You was in trouble.

Now that we have the silver, we must enter the city, but it is impossible to enter the city with all these weapons.

Her storage space was already full and could no longer hold anything.

Looking at the weapons, Lu You thought for a moment and stretched out his hand to call Qian Zhaode.

"Xiao Qian, we have to deal with these weapons."

"From your reaction just now, I think that although you are greedy for money, you are not a bad person at heart. You even have some justice. How about I give you a solution?"

Because Lu You's reminder just now saved Qian Zhaode from a disaster, he naturally nodded with gratitude.

"Miss Lu, I have no way of repaying you for saving my life. I will follow the instructions you gave me."

Lu You was delighted when he heard this: "You sent out these weapons because you wanted to protect the people, right?"

Qian Zhaode nodded repeatedly upon hearing this: "That is indeed the case, but it seems that it is not feasible now. After all, there are too many people, and we, the detectives, cannot control them!"

"fool!"

Lu You glared at Qian Zhaode and said.

"You can't suppress those who are banding together, but you can give the knives to those who can't band together!"

"You have been patrolling the streets for so many years as detectives, you must know which families in the city don't like each other."

"Just give the knives to these people, one for Zhang San and one for Li Si, and let them all follow you."

"In this way, they can't stick together, but they all still remember your kindness, so won't you win their hearts?"

"You are helping the old, weak, sick and disabled, and getting everyone on your side. Not only can you make money, but you can also gain a good reputation."

"The official uniform you are wearing is stained with the blood of the Jin soldiers. You can make money in a more respectable way. Think about it carefully."

After saying this, Lu You directly called Lu Yi and others to get in the car and walked towards the city gate again.

Qian Zhaode stared blankly at the piles of swords and weapons on the ground, and his confused eyes gradually became brighter.

In the carriage, Lu Yi frowned and looked at Lu You.

"Second sister, is it really okay to leave those weapons to someone like Qian Zhaode?"

"There is something." Lu You said with a smile, "But it won't be a big problem."

"Before they robbed the money, each person only took half, which shows that he still has some conscience. Although it's not much, it's enough."

Lu You couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the people sitting or lying around the fire on both sides of the road.

"If we can't get into the city tomorrow, these hungry people will eventually go to extremes."

"If the Foot Trade gang really gains power, the people will not just be robbed of their money, but may even risk their lives."

"Compared to them, Qian Zhaode and his team are pretty good."

Hearing Lu You's words, Liu next to him sighed.

"These people are really fickle. Last night they were heroes defending the city, but now they have turned into robbery bullies."

"I don't understand now whether they are good people or bad people."

Upon hearing this, Lu You just smiled slightly, but did not give any definition to Qian Zhaode and others.

Where are the good guys and bad guys?

They are just ordinary people struggling to survive.

Now that there was enough silver, the gatekeeper no longer stopped them. Instead, he counted out forty-three taels of silver and let the nine people enter the city.

The layout of Pingchang County is not much different from that of Qingshi City. After entering the gate, there is a large open space for merchants to park their carriages and horses.

However, at this time, more than a dozen stoves and furnaces were set up on this open space. Someone kept shouting and bringing clean water and flour, and was busy making sesame cakes and rice soup.

"So they are cooking right here. No wonder all those carts of sesame cakes and rice soup are hot."

Hu Laojiu muttered as he sat in the back of the carriage.

When everyone saw those busy people at this time, their mood was also extremely complicated.

"Look over there, there are still people carrying stones here. Do they still want to build a stove?"

The coachman Lai Shun pointed at the carriage with fire in the distance and asked.

Everyone turned to look, and when they saw the stones being pulled on the carts, Guan Shanyue spoke in a deep voice.

"Those are not stones for building stoves, but rolling stones, used to defend the city."

After hearing Guan Shanyue's words, Lu You felt a little relieved.

It seems that the magistrate of Pingchang County is not a greedy person, but he has some serious business to do.

Just as he was thinking about it, Lu Yi approached Lu You.

"Second sister, I saw several familiar faces. Those who were making fire, cooking and transporting stones might all be the people from our Jianhe County."

Lu You nodded slightly upon hearing this.

"That makes sense. The county magistrate of Pingchang must have closed the city gates after learning that a large number of refugees had entered the city."

"And the first batch of poor refugees who entered the city just happened to become his free labor force."

At this point, even Lu You had to admire the county magistrate of Pingchang.

Faced with such a difficult situation, the county magistrate was able to make these arrangements in a clear and orderly manner. It seems that he is definitely not a mediocre person.

I hope Pingchang County can hold out for a few more days under his leadership.

Lu You thought secretly in his heart.

Jianhe County fell last night, but more than ten thousand people escaped. The news of the Jin soldiers' breakthrough could not be concealed this time.

The garrisons of Qing and Jin states should also gather towards Jianhe County!

Although there was a curfew at this time, the whole city was very lively because of the large number of refugees. Many people stood on both sides of the road, asking for news from the people of Jianhe County who came into the city.

Lu You and others' carriage stopped and asked along the way. After about a quarter of an hour, they finally saw the inn ahead.

"Dear guests, would you like to have a quick meal or stay overnight?"

"Stay in a hotel!" Lu You answered, "Prepare some more food, half meat and half vegetarian, probably enough for twenty people!"

Hearing Lu You's words, the waiter was slightly stunned. Then he carefully counted Lu You and others, and after confirming that there were nine people, he spoke in confusion.

"Sir, we do have food, but there are only nine of you. Food for twenty is a bit too much."

"If you are preparing for your journey, the food won't stay put in this weather. I can prepare some more food like sesame cakes and steamed buns for you, which will be convenient for you to carry when you leave."

Hearing what the waiter said, Lu You reached out and grabbed a cloth bag and shook it, and the sound of silver colliding suddenly came from inside.

"Do as I tell you, feed the horse, and you won't lose any silver!"
