It rained heavily for a day and a night. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

By the evening of the next day, the water level of the Wei River had risen by one meter. With such violent rain, as long as it lasts for another two or three days, the Wei River will burst its banks.

At that time, the capital will not be able to escape the flood.

After Jiang Jingxuan inspected several embankments, his heart felt like falling to the bottom. There was an anxious look on his face, and he couldn't care about continuing his journey, so he could only take three thousand soldiers to strengthen the river embankment.

However, at this time, the first batch of refugees who had suffered from the flood had gradually gathered and stumbled all the way to the capital. The way they must pass is the bank of the Wei River, that is, where Jiang Jingxuan is located.

In an environment where humanity is naked, survival is the number one priority. At such a time, the victims of the disaster can still take care of any etiquette and morality, and even have little humanity left.

Every village that was passed by the victims was looted and even bloodshed. In the most serious villages, because the villagers were tough and resolutely refused to hand over the food, they were subjected to frenzied revenge from the victims, and in the end, all the villagers were killed and the money and food were looted.

The victims have turned into mobs.

Like locusts in transit.

In the face of the victims, there are only two choices - either to scare the victims and make them afraid to enter the village and loot; Or, simply give up resistance and let your own food be robbed.

However, now that the war has just passed, no one is having a good time. Once food is robbed, it means starvation, and even some people are starved to death. How can the robbed farmers give up!

In order to survive, no one can give up.

In this way, it is unstoppable.

"Master Jiang! Save...... Help me! ”

Jiang Jingxuan was still on the embankment, and sent soldiers to reinforce the embankment along various river sections, but Zou Xianling ran over.

"Master Jiang! There was a riot in Lijia Village, but the villagers could not resist it and had already taken refuge in Qinghezhuang. The mob ransacked Lijia Village and are now threatening outside Qinghezhuang. The steward of Qinghezhuang sent someone over to ask the county for help. ”

Zou Xianling was sweating in a hurry. He had just received news that Zhuangyi County next door had been captured by the victims, and Lin County had been killed by the mob.

"Master Jiang! The victims are about to come in, can you save the people of this county......" Zou Xian Ling knelt directly on the ground, made a big salute to Jiang Jingxuan, and his whole body fell into the muddy water.

He has experienced war and knows the horror of war. Now, only a few days have passed, and he really doesn't want to fight anymore.

"Zou County Order, where are the victims? You bring the official there. Jiang Jingxuan turned around and explained to the generals who reinforced the embankment, and then without saying a word, he ordered a hundred soldiers to follow the order of Zou County.

"Master Jiang, this ...... Do people bring too little? Zou Xianling wiped his sweat nervously.

Only a hundred soldiers were brought with him, and those victims were far more than a hundred!

"Once the Wei River bursts, tens of thousands of people will suffer! Nowadays, there are not enough people to build the dams, so where can we bring more people? Without further ado, you lead the way! Jiang Jingxuan shook his coat to minimize the rain on his body.

After a busy day and a night, he was already dizzy, his limbs were weak, and he was about to be unable to support it.

……

The outside of Qinghezhuang.

The victims are confronting the farmers.

Jiang Jingxuan looked at it, and he felt his heart tremble, and cold sweat broke out in his palms. The dense crowd of victims is almost endless.

How can there be so many?

How serious is the disaster in the Muddy River? How many towns have been affected? This is already close to the capital, how can there be so many refugees? Could it be that someone in the court deliberately concealed the disaster?!

"We're going to eat!" "We're going to eat!"

"Hand over the grain!" "Hand it over!"

"Pay the grain and don't kill! Otherwise, your village will be covered with blood! “

The victims were ragged and embarrassed, but their expressions were as fierce as hungry wolves.

They all carried sticks and rocks in their hands, and shouted at the villagers, as if they were ready to fight at any moment.

Troubled times make people's hearts indifferent. I can't live anymore, how can I still care about the life and death of others?

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way! The imperial army is here, whoever dares to make trouble will be killed! Zou Xian Ling shouted loudly all the way, pushing away the crowded victims all the way and walking towards the middle of the confrontation between the crowd.

According to Zou County's previous experience, to deal with the people who make trouble, we must first overwhelm them in momentum. As long as they are afraid, they will not dare to resist.

But, apparently this time he miscalculated! Now, the victims have become mobs, and they are not even afraid of being pursued by the court afterwards, and this kind of verbal threat not only does not have the slightest effect, but will stimulate the ferocity of the other party.

"The dog officer is here!" "The dog officer is here!"

"The dog officer won't give us a way to live!"

"Kill the dog officer!"

Among the victims, there were several leaders, men in their thirties, holding iron pickaxes with fierce faces, shouting over and over again. At their instigation, the victims, who had already quieted down, rioted again.

The victims asked for food. They only know that they will starve to death without food. All the villagers who refuse to hand over their food are their enemies. These officials of the imperial court are their mortal enemies.

"Listen to me, I am an official sent by the imperial court to provide disaster relief. I have enough food here to ensure that you have two porridge meals a day. Don't mess around, listen to the arrangement of Zou County's order, and the imperial court will provide you with shelter and food......"

Jiang Jingxuan shouted at the top of his voice, trying to appease these victims. However, before he could finish his words, he was hit directly on the forehead by a stone flying from nowhere. If it weren't for the rain, he was wearing a robe, and if he blocked it a little, he would have bloomed on his forehead and his face covered with blood.

"What can a bowl of gruel do? We need to be fed! The leader shouted loudly, his tone full of sarcasm. Take a bowl of gruel, just want to perfunctory them and make them at the mercy of the court. It's a dream!

Or is Brother Zhao right - the prince will Xiangning have a kind of it?!

Didn't the emperor of the dynasty also turn out to be a street gangster? Since he can take advantage of the Dali riot to rebel, then he can also take advantage of the flooding of the Muddy River to rebel now! Even if you can't be the emperor, at least you have to make a prince to be the emperor! Conquer a few cities and become a soil emperor yourself!

"The muddy river flooded, countless people were affected, and the imperial court had too many victims to rescue, so we could only ensure that the porridge and rice were ...... first" Jiang Jingxuan also wanted to explain to the victims, and persuaded them with good words.

However, the leading victims didn't want to hear it at all, so they started to do it directly. In just a few moments, the soldiers and the victims were in a mess. Although the soldiers were good at fighting, they were a little defeated by the large number of victims.

It was only at this time that Jiang Jingxuan began to regret that he should not have put himself in danger. At the very least, you should have brought enough people to come.

"Kill the dog officer first! Let's share the food together! The leader carried an iron pickaxe and smashed it on Jiang Jingxuan's head.

"Master Jiang!" Zou Xianling exclaimed in surprise and reached out to stop it.

It's a pity that he is a scholar himself, and he is powerless, so he is the opponent of the disaster victims.

Seeing that Jiang Jingxuan was about to be hit, blood splattered three feet on the spot, and suddenly there was a sound of breaking the air.

"Whoosh-" A sharp arrow pierced the sky and plunged directly into the eye socket of the leader. He shook twice, shook, and fell into the muddy water with a "poof".

"Shi Shangshu!" Jiang Jingxuan turned around and shouted out in surprise.
