The turmoil in the capital city also seems to have affected Lin'an Mansion thousands of miles away, and the sky is gradually brightening up before the hour has passed, and the people who get up early are gathering near the city gate, in order to catch up with the first group to leave the city or enter the city.

In the opposite direction, a group of Praetorian troops, led by a command, hurried forward, looking like patrols with a change of guard. When he arrived at a fang market in the south of the city, the fang gate had not yet opened, the commander made a gesture, and the forbidden army behind him dispersed, quietly guarding the various intersections, and the commander led people into the fang, and then went straight to a house.

"Look, Hugh is going to get rid of one." The commander dismounted, looked at the words on the door, knew that he had found the right place, waved his hand and said, and the sergeant he brought immediately surrounded the whole house, and he waited until everyone was in place, and then he snorted towards the door, and one of his men stepped forward quickly, pulling the brass ring on the door and knocking vigorously.

This movement was very big, causing many people to stop and watch, and a person who looked like a steward opened the door and looked out, and couldn't help but be startled, there were too many people outside without him.

"A few Yu Marquis are here, I don't know what's going on? My master hasn't gotten up yet, can you wait a little longer? He looked at the sergeant outside with an unkind face, and asked with anxiety in his heart, who knew that people didn't answer him at all, and kicked the door open with a kick, and the person was also knocked to the ground, this level of law enforcement is too rough, and the onlookers are discussing.

"The Zhenfu Division handles the case, and the idle people should be avoided." The commander heard the broken words behind him, looked around with some dissatisfaction, and shouted in a rough voice, who knew that except for a few timid and fearful people, most of the people were not afraid at all, and when they saw that most of them did not leave, the few people who had slipped away first also quietly returned.

"Pacification Division? What kind of yamen is this? "The people at the feet of the Son of Heaven boast of being well-informed, but this yamen is very unfamiliar when they hear it, to say that the most Beijing division is the government, generally speaking, people can take people close to Lin'an Mansion, Zhexi Shuaisi, far away from the Criminal Department, Dali Temple, this what Zhenfu Division has really not heard,

"Shhhh Be quiet, it's not an ordinary yamen, I heard that it's an imperial prince who is in charge. "Those who know the details pretend to be mysterious.

"Which royal prince?" The insider didn't answer, just pointed to the sky, and the good deeds were all suddenly realized, but in fact, they didn't really understand anything, but no one wanted to show their cowardice, anyway, this kind of thing is a talking point for the people of Shengdou, who will care if it's true.

Of course, Xie Tang would not know that he suddenly became an Internet celebrity, oh no, he is a celebrity in the minds of the people of the capital, the morning action ended quickly, and the harvest was very rich, the surname Wang was captured at home, and several of his men did not escape, several shops and the house under his name were seized, and the soldiers of the forbidden army got a lot of floating wealth, and they were all satisfied.

"Send this to Liu's Mansion, and say that it was returned." He took a deed to a cronie, there was a silk village on it, it was once photographed at a staggering sky-high price, Xie Tang saw it with his own eyes, and now it is simply returned to the original owner, anyway, the government will sell it in the end, and the money is nothing to him.

The matter is over, and the file will be handed over to Lin'an Mansion in the end, and he took his big seal of the pacification envoy and stamped it heavily, this is the first case he handled in the name of the pacification department, and it may be the last. And this official, he didn't care much, so when he was summoned by his aunt, he didn't panic as usual, but dealt with this qiē without hurry, and instructed them to send it to Lin'an Mansion, and then changed into court clothes and entered the palace.

"Isn't this Ambassador Xie, such a great majesty, he plundered the troops before dawn, arrested people and raided his home, how much money was found? The old body didn't even see that you still had this ability, which really gave Mrs. Xie a face. In the Ciyun Palace, Xie Shi's face was covered with frost, and he was holding a long staff, eager to point it on his head.

Xie Tang lowered his head without saying a word and let her count, always maintaining a very flat expression on his face, not at all like he used to be, Xie Shi was actually not so angry, because this kind of thing is done for others to see, and if you do too much, it will become an errand to deal with, but she was a little surprised by his attitude today, and couldn't help but look at him a few more times.

"Why are you dumb, don't you talk a lot on weekdays, think about how to deal with the book in the imperial history for a while, if it doesn't work, you can go to the book on your own to be investigated." Xie shook his head, still not understanding why he did this, and in the end, he still couldn't hold back.

"You're not usually like this, how did that person offend you?"

"Auntie, he didn't offend his nephew, but he violated the law of the land, and he has his own division to try it, and his nephew has nothing to argue. There is no need to suspend the post, this pacification ambassador, my aunt should take it back, and it will save someone from talking again. ”

Xie Tang said a little indifferently, he didn't do this for himself, but promised Liu Yu, it should have been implemented a long time ago, but he has been busy with Qiongzhou's affairs, until recently, the silver money was loaded and shipped away, and he was idle, and suddenly thought that this matter had not been done, so he simply did it, as for why it was so public, in fact, it was also intentional, and now it is just a boat pushing the boat.

Pushing off this ambassador of the two Zhejiang towns, he has other plans, not to mention that this is a false position, and those in the officialdom also make him very disgusted. As the empress dowager's own nephew and the head of the Xie family, he has a marquis on him, and if he wants to be promoted to the prince of the country, he only needs to become a consul, so this ambassador is his stepping stone, and he is suddenly not interested in it now.

"Oh, what are you going to do?" Xie Shi was taken aback, she could see that this nephew was not pretending to shirk, but really had the idea of going.

"If my aunt agrees, my nephew wants to go south." Xie Tang said vaguely, he was afraid that he would be annoyed if he said his aunt directly, Xie Shi thought about it for a while, and he understood a little, he was such a pampered son, and he actually wanted to run there, could it be that he was really as the people said, and fell into evil? Or is there some ulterior secret there.

"Put away your thoughts, now the court is the time to employ people, the old body does not avoid suspicion, you pretend to clear up what you do, stay for a while, and when you have the right opportunity, you will make up for the cardinal's mansion." You still have to draw up a statement and hand it over, to be tactful, just have an explanation for the top and bottom, and you don't need to worry about other things. ”

Xie Tang had never heard such straightforward words, his aunt seemed to have changed her personality, and her words were no longer so blunt, and there seemed to be more family affection in them. Savoring these words carefully, Xie Tang felt the depression in his aunt's heart, and he couldn't say anything more if he was stubborn, so he could only honestly take back his fate.

It is not only Lin'an Mansion that stirs up chickens and dogs, but also a big camp outside Jiankang City, which is also lively to see, but it is not as common as ordinary people. Because it was full of heavily armed sergeants, they were surrounded by far outnumbered prisoners of war, because these prisoners of war were suddenly told that the Yuan had no intention of exchanging them back.

In fact, according to the rules of the grassland, the captured is the spoils of the victors, simply put, slaves, and the Yuan people are now also doing this, not only will they reduce the prisoners of war to slaves, but even the newly occupied territory will give those people and the land under their feet to a certain hero at any time, so when they heard that no one came to ransom, the prisoners of war who had been here for several months were a little commotion.

In the peace treaty negotiated in Lin'an, these prisoners of war are also part of it, and will be used in exchange for the Nankang army and the deserted Chizhou that are still under the rule of the Tartars, but at the moment the Song mission is still negotiating with the Yuan people, and the latest news has been transmitted back, and the Yuan people do not intend to continue to fulfill this peace treaty.

To say that Kublai Khan didn't want these people must be a lie, on the contrary, these experienced veterans are what he needs very much, but if he signs the contract according to the agreement, then he can't tear it up immediately anyway, and then turn his face and go south, so until a suitable excuse is found, he can only drag it out like he is now.

But the Yuan people can afford to drag it, but these prisoners of war can't afford to drag it anymore, the Song people are not philanthropists, and they don't have any mercy, for the enemies who destroyed their homes and killed their relatives, it is already the limit to be able to do not slaughter, and expect them to be treated well? Don't be funny, food is precious, Li Tingzhi himself has to play tricks to store food, where can he give them extra food.

As a result, the original half-starved and half-full became a meal the next day, and it was still mostly soup, which was worse than disaster relief, but it was barely able to hold a breath. The Yuanren officials in charge of the negotiations couldn't see it, and directly found the recruitment department in the city, but they didn't even see Li Tingzhi's face, and sent him to Zhang Shixun, who saw them, but they said back and forth, "You don't have enough to eat in the city, if you can transport it yourself, then it's best, and other officials can't do anything." It was pushed cleanly, but what could they do? Is it really from Ezhou to transport grain?

Under such countermeasures, the people in the camp are getting weaker and weaker, needless to say, there are many epidemics in Jiangnan, and there are tens of thousands of people in a large camp, and one person will be infected if he gets sick. Since the day the peace talks were concluded, in just over a month, more than 6,000 people had been killed, and corpses were carried out every day in the camp.

After such a toss, no matter how tenacious the person is, he is honest, the camp is much calmer, even Li Tingzhi raised the whole city to Chizhou for a turn, there was no change in the camp, and the prisoners of war seemed to have accepted their fate, just waiting for the day they were rescued, or the moment of death.

The latest news shattered their only hope, the Yuan people didn't want them anymore, which meant that the Song people would no longer care about them, and they would be out of cooking tomorrow. Now that the Song people don't need to use knives at all, they can let these people starve to death, or they cannibalize each other and die, so what's the difference? So all those who could stand up made the last of their efforts to see what their fate was.

"Seeing that the heat is almost over, Steward Sun, what are you going to do?" Zhang Shixun stood behind his army, watching the situation in the big camp, all the troops were ready, to deal with these starvations that were unstable, he believed that there was only one result, but the steward Sun beside him obviously didn't want such a thing to happen.

，

There are more than 25,000 people in the camp, who have gone through the cruel test of survival, and all of them are strong and strong, which is a good labor force that cannot be found with lanterns, how can they be turned into fertilizer in vain and occupy a piece of land. Sun Qi had never faced so many people at the same time, and their lives were actually decided by himself, and his huge sense of control and vanity made his heart fluctuate, but he was not afraid much, but full of excitement.

Before coming here, the words of the owner's instructions came to mind one by one, and if he did well, he would ascend to the sky in one step and become an important arm of the owner. Trying to suppress his excitement, the thought of making a brilliant contribution gave him incomparable courage, Sun Qi picked up a loudspeaker, pushed open the wall in front of him, and walked towards the entrance of the camp.

"Be quiet! Everyone was silent. "The prisoners of war, who were already starving to the point of not being human, could not make any noise at all, and their voices were full of dead voices, which were gloomy and panicked.

Sun Qi jumped on a stone pier, held a loudspeaker and said loudly, the first time he used this play, the sound was so large that he himself was shocked, fortunately, he quickly got used to it, without this kind of loudspeaker that shook the four wilds, today's things are really difficult to do, even so, the scope of transmission is limited, and it can only ensure that most people in front can hear it clearly.

"I think you have also heard that your Great Khan has no intention of signing a contract, and after delaying it again and again, even if it is really signed in the end, how many people can be left here, you know better than Sun. My Great Song official family is merciful and unwilling to do anything that hurts the heavens and peace, but everyone, there is no food in the city, and your Great Khan refuses to send it. Or just fight for this life and go out to see if you can have a way to live. Sun Qi's words were unadorned, and directly spoke to the hearts of the prisoners of war, "Or, just wait for death in the camp, maybe it can drag on for a day or two." ”

Wanting to promote first is what Liu Yu taught him, to show the worst results of the matter first, one is to be frank and open, in order to show selflessness in his heart, to dispel their concerns, and the other is also threatening, the surrounding Song army is ready, not afraid of them to take risks. Sure enough, after these words came out, the skeletons below all looked at him with blank eyes, this Song official in a green robe had successfully guided their thinking.

"Don't hide it from you, Sun is here to show everyone a way out." People who are already starving to death don't need to hang their appetites anymore, Sun Qi's words made them hopeful, in this case, is there any need for people to deceive people? Even if it was a straw, it could only be clung to, Sun Qi paused intentionally, giving them a buffer time, and after a moment he continued.

"Not long ago, I believe everyone knew that thousands of people were selected from this camp to go to the south, what did they do, and how many people were still alive, if Sun said it or not, you wouldn't believe it. But those who came with him were the people in the camp who went to the camp that day, and their words were more or less credible. As he spoke, Sun Qi waved his hand, and a group of people rushed in from the door, of course they were not sergeants, but wearing coolie clothes, obviously many people in the camp recognized them, and they made some noises.

These people came from Quanzhou by sea boats, and they set off with Haisi's fleet, and when Haisi's fleet arrived at Jingshi Lin'an Mansion, they emptied their boats and continued their upward journey, and they came to Jiankang Mansion along the river, in order to transport these people in the camp.

At that time, Liu Yu asked Li Tingzhi for a total of more than 5,000 people, all of which were used for the construction of Qiongzhou, and they were mixed with the local people, Yi people, and prisoners, most of whom chose to work in Ansheng, and there were not many who died unexpectedly, so the appearance of these people was more convincing than Sun Qi's tongue and tongue, seeing that the accomplices who signed up at that time were still alive, and their bodies were much stronger than their prisoners of war who looked like skeletons, where did they not understand, what is the intention of Mr. Sun above, and what is the so-called way of life?

"You have all seen with your own eyes, these people who took the first step are your own brothers, they are not tired to death or starvation, on the contrary, after doing a certain amount of work in a day, there will be enough food available, do well, and there are other rewards, not only to live, but also to live well, this is the way Sun pointed out to you." Sun Qi was very satisfied with the effect in front of him, and he clearly saw a pair of prominent eyes shining with green light.

"Say, sir, what do you want us to do?" A tall man who was thin as a bamboo pole asked out loud, the people below are all together, since they can live, do they have any choice?

"That's it, that's it." Sun Qi pressed his hand, letting the crowd below slowly quiet down.

"Same as last time, five years!" He stretched out a palm and spread it, and then continued: "As long as you work for five years, you can get out, and when the time comes, you can go back to the north, stay and live, it's up to you, you are still young, five years is nothing, don't you say?" ”

After saying that, there was silence below, there was no cheering as Sun Qi imagined, he thought he had said too much, but he didn't expect the people below to be stunned by this preferential condition, but after five years of hard work, even if it is tiring and heavy, he can see hope, compared to the desperate situation here, I am afraid that there is no world of difference, and now when he suddenly hears it, it makes people feel unbelievable.

"Some-and-so."

"The little ones will be reported."

"Sir, I promised so-and-so, I must bring it."

After a while, the crowd began to surge, Sun Qi was almost dragged down, Zhang Shixun on the side was startled, and hurriedly ordered someone to escort him out. The rest of the matter is simple, at the door of the camp, a table is set up in turn, all the signed prisoners of war will sign the paperwork, a five-year contract of sale, sign one by one, and there will be a small meal before getting on the ship, in case they collapse, and only those who arrive at the destination alive are eligible to fulfill the contract, these people Liu Yu did not intend to return it to the Yuan people at all, their fate was already doomed from the moment they entered the prisoner of war camp.
