I am fish

Chapter 6

Sun Mingyi was very annoyed by the clamor outside the county government office asking for the expulsion of the refugees, he slammed the bowl in his hand on the table, and snorted, "You little brat from the Xie family, why don't you take a picture of yourself by drowning yourself? The basket that came out needs me to fill it up for him!"

The head of the county yamen said: "Don't be annoyed by the county lord, we need to be cautious and decisive for the current plan. Although the country of Jixi is my vassal state, it is a group of barbarian thieves, barbaric and tough. In addition, there are a large number of refugees. If you don't Controlling it would only lead to disaster. Once our Qi County is opened up, all the refugees around will come upon hearing the news, not to mention there are [-] disaster victims in the country of Xi. Yu's words..."

Sun Mingyi suddenly turned his head and said angrily: "How could I not know the consequences of opening the city gate? The Xie family's children are full of benevolence and morality, but they don't understand the reason that people who are not of my race must have different hearts! It has only been a few days since the Hu thief has refused to accept it. Discipline is causing trouble everywhere! I don’t think that Zhuzi is ignorant of the consequences, he must also understand the risks involved, but he just wants to take risks for the Xie family and win credit.”

The master said: "It seems that the only way to expel the refugees is again."

Sun Mingyi sat down, his eyebrows carved like a knife: "Now how can they agree to clear them out? Our Qi County has only 3000 troops. Back then, it was easy to defend and difficult to attack by relying on the city wall. Now if the thieves are in the city If they are in a hurry, they may jump over the wall in a hurry and cause chaos!"

"The troops in Lin County are being deployed, and Mr. Xie should be back in these two days. If the county lord persuades Mr. Xie's family again, if Qi County is in chaos, the whole of Suichuan will be implicated, and Xie's family will naturally not be able to escape. Thank you If the government is willing to lend the Fuzhong part, it may alleviate the current illnesses of the refugees, and everything will be easy when the support arrives. Otherwise, it would be good to ask Mr. Yunmeng from the Xie government for an idea."

Sun Mingyi thought for a while, sighed annoyedly, then stood up, and put on the worn-out jacket: "Forget it, I'll go to Xie Mansion."

Xie Suishan heard from the slave report that Sun Mingyi asked to see him, and knew that he must have come here for the refugees.

What happened to the refugees in Qi County was beyond Xie Suishan's expectation.

Refugees are difficult to train and even threaten the safety of the people. At this point, he naturally understands the truth that it is easier to ask God than to send God away.The grain in the public warehouses had been moved out long ago, and the forced expropriation of private grain almost caused conflicts between the government and the people. In the end, not much was collected at all.Unexpectedly, the people of Qi County were not willing to contribute food to the refugees at all.These people seem to be simple and united on weekdays, but who would have thought that they would be so stingy at a critical moment.Back then he boasted on the city wall that he was fully responsible for the refugees, but now it's only a few days later, if he goes back on his word and drives the refugees out of the city, wouldn't he, Xie Suishan, become the laughing stock of Quan Suichuan?Father knew that it was a trivial matter to call him a bloody sprinkler, so he must be tied to the ancestral hall and dealt with according to family law.As for his younger sister, Kaoru, she can see his jokes again.

Xie Suishan's head hurt, he waved his hand, and told the servant to tell Sun Mingyi that he was not in the mansion, so he sent him away quickly.

Sun Mingyi and the chief secretary were turned away, so angry, they planned to stay outside the gate of Xie's mansion and wait for Xie Suishan to be arrested.

After waiting for less than a stick of incense, several soldiers from the county government came to him, saying that the refugees were running around in the city, smashing and looting in broad daylight, and people had already died.Sun Mingyi, one head and two older, asked the master to continue to wait for Sun Mingyi here, and selected a strong soldier to rush to Lin County to urge the troops, while he tried his best to gather troops in the city to suppress the refugees.

A Lai ran out from the market to go to Taoyuan Temple, and within two steps, she saw a group of people coming towards her in shock, their clothes were messy, and some of them even had blood on them.

Alai caught an old woman and asked her what happened. The old woman was sweating and panting like a cow. She said that the refugees had gone to the north of the city, not only robbing food but also robbing people. If anyone resisted, they would beat them up and even kill them. No different from bandits.She escaped from the north of the city, and now all the people in the north of the city have run away.

it is as expected!

Alai had a bad feeling when the refugees were put into the city.

She had heard a lot of stories about the vile and ferocious fortunes in Xiguo from her mother, and she didn't have a good impression of these barbarians.The Jixi clan is a well-known greedy and brutal nation. The men in the clan are brutal, warlike and advocate force, and the status of the women is low and even less valuable than cattle and sheep.In the past, before he surrendered to Da Yu, he often harassed Da Yu's border, burning, killing and looting.Later, Emperor Wu sent troops to conquer, and although Jixi surrendered and became a minister, the Hu people still robbed and plundered everything, especially women.A woman from Da Yu is worth ten times as much as a woman from Jixi, and the price is equal to a good war horse.In the past two years, Jixi is still restless, relying on being a vassal of Dayu, he makes trouble everywhere.Now caught up with the famine and being jointly attacked by three other small countries, before Dayu's reinforcements arrived, more than half of the citizens of Jixi country slipped away, and all of them rushed to Suichuan, which borders Dayu.

It is said that Da Yu belongs to the people, and this city gate should never be opened.Jixi people are cruel and greedy in their bones, and they are never the same kind of people as the people of Dayu who advocate Confucianism and have read poems and books.Grandma has taught her countless times that she must be careful when she sees Jixi people.

Alai pushed and shoved against the panicked crowd, but he never saw the fourth aunt.After finally getting close to Taoyuan Temple, I saw a few ragged figures shaking under the stone steps of Taoyuan Temple from a distance.Alai's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately hid behind the tree trunk, carefully peeking out his eyes.

Is a refugee.

Three disheveled refugees, whose faces could not be seen clearly, were squatting together, not knowing what they were fighting for.Alai held his breath and squinted his eyes, trying to see the situation clearly, but saw a purple hand suddenly rolled down the stone steps, and was stepped on by one of the first-class people.The refugee looked down, grabbed it and gnawed it immediately.There was blood between the yellow teeth when he bared his teeth.

Alai hastily covered his mouth that was about to scream.

They are eating people!

The situation was worse than expected. The only way up the mountain was occupied by refugees, so she dared not go to the main entrance.There is a winding forest path that can also go up the mountain.No one left on weekdays, and some monks who didn't abide by the rules would sometimes find prostitutes for entertainment, and she accidentally saw them a few times.The path is hidden and is specially for prostitutes to come and go.

Concerned about the safety of the fourth aunt, she can't care so much.I spent a long time in the decaying forest to collect a few dead leaves and a large group of grass.The dead leaves were stuck in the hair and pinned to the waist, and the grass was crushed to squeeze out some green juice, which was all applied to the face.After a simple change of appearance, Alai's petite body jumped into the woods, and it was indeed difficult to find it at a glance.

All the way up the mountain, A Lai was very worried. She passed by the refugees several times, and she held her breath and cautiously avoided them.

The countless branches in the forest hindered her progress very much.A Lai pulled out something from his belt and held it between his fingers. His nimble fingers turned so fast that he couldn't see the movement clearly.Wherever the hand touched, the branches were chopped off completely, and a path was immediately cleared.But she was really in a hurry, half cut and half rushed, half of the branches were cut off by her, and the other half was broken by her recklessly.It seems that these monks have been quite disciplined recently, and no one walked on the path for a while.

After finally arriving at the gate of Taoyuan Temple, I found that the gate of the temple was closed tightly. Hundreds of refugees were beating on the gate noisily, cursing in an incomprehensible Jixi language.

A Lai circled around the wild forest outside Taoyuan Temple again, like climbing over mountains and ridges, with small wounds all over his body from being scraped by branches, and he still couldn't find the entrance.

All the gates of Taoyuan Temple were tightly closed, no matter how the refugees outside called it, it was like a Buddhist bell, towering and motionless.

Sitting on the tree, Alai's heart is slightly wider.

Since the refugees can't get in, they can't threaten Fourth Aunt.But, what if the fourth aunt had already left Taoyuan Temple... Probably not, she said that praying for blessings would take a lot of time, and the temple should be besieged by refugees before it was over.

Hopefully.

Seeing that the gate of Taoyuan Temple could not be pried open, the refugees dispersed on their own after a while.After all, there are a lot of fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered in the city, so there is no need for them to waste time here.

As soon as the refugees dispersed, Alai jumped down from the tree and knocked on the door, hoping to see the safe and sound fourth aunt when the door opened.

Liu Niang fell asleep and woke up lazily, her stomach growled and she was hungry.

Called the maidservant to serve the meal, asked casually, and found that the fourth aunt hadn't returned to the house yet.

"Haven't come back yet? What time is it?" Liu Niang opened the window and looked out, it was already dark.Mrs. Wang's family has always been unfriendly. She was dragged by her grandmother several times, and she often made a face as if she was about to see off the guests before she had even had a sip of tea.Could it be that the Lingluo brought by my mother today really pleases the other party?

"What? Gone?"

After patting the door with both hands until it became red and swollen and his voice became hoarse, a little novice carefully opened the door a little.Seeing that it was the one who greeted them earlier, Ah Lai hurriedly inquired about the situation.Unexpectedly, the other party said that the fourth aunt planted a few sticks of incense and donated some incense money, and then called two senior brothers to help her carry the basket, and left early.

"But you went to Wang's house?" Alai asked anxiously.

"I don't know that."

It’s over.

It's over, it's over, it's over!

Ah Lai yelled in his heart that something was wrong, and rolled down the mountain along the path.She was covered in mud and weeds, and the people in Qixian County on the road walked around when they saw her, obviously taking her as a refugee from Jixilai.

Arriving at the entrance of Wangjia Lane, before he could even call for the door, he was forked out by two guards.

"Wangsao slave, who has no eyes, dares to come here to play wild!"

Alai didn't care about his sore butt, he quickly got up and called them back: "I'm not from Jixi, I'm the gardener of Xie's Mansion!"

Hearing Alai's Qixian accent and the word Xiefu, the two nurses stopped and looked back at her, and asked, "Why is the flower gardener in Xiefu such a ghost?"

Alai said eagerly: "The servant came out with the fourth aunt in the mansion to offer incense and pray for blessings. When we left Taoyuan Temple, the fourth aunt said that she would come to visit your wife. I met refugees on the way here and dressed up like this. Dare I ask you two?" Brother, has my fourth aunt ever been here?"

The two nurses glanced at each other, shook their heads and said, "Everyone is hiding in the troubled city. Who is going out to seek disaster? No one came to visit today, let alone see your fourth aunt. I advise you to go back to the mansion and ask Just ask. The refugees are causing trouble in Beicheng, and your fourth aunt may have returned home."

Hearing the words of the two nurses, A Lai was hit hard, and his brain swelled up and down.Now the last glimmer of hope can only be pinned on Fourth Aunt changing her mind and really returning home early.

It was getting late, and on the way back to Xie's mansion in a hurry, A Lai had to beware of the refugees, but at the same time he was very anxious.I keep praying in my heart that I can see my fourth aunt who is safe in the mansion, so that nothing happens.
