These homeless people from Jinchang and Camellia Oil are basically young and strong people, because those old people can't run, and they die halfway before they reach Ningdu.

It has been three days since they came to Ningdu, but Ningdu did not let them enter the city, and nearly 200,000 people were crowded at the two gates of Xuanwu and Zhenchuan.

In addition to prohibiting the homeless from entering the city, there is no food! Before the people of these two cities fled to this point, the king of Zhongshan still asked the household department to supply food to the displaced people who came before, but now the household department has stopped giving food to the displaced people.

Food has become their biggest problem.

The Xuanwu City Gate was slightly better, with only more than 50,000 people, and the commander who defended the city paid out of his own pocket to provide some rice porridge for these displaced people, so the displaced people were still full of hope, hoping that the people of Ningdu would be able to save them.

However, there have been skirmishes at the Zhenchuan City Gate, where dozens of displaced people tried to storm into the city, but were ruthlessly killed by the soldiers on duty of the City Patrol Division, and their bodies hung on the top of the city gate to deter other displaced people who wanted to storm the city.

The city patrol of Zhenchuan Gate is surnamed Zheng, is a member of the Zheng family in Ganquan, the Zheng family is a big family, has been living in the border city of Ganquan in the north, and deals with the people of the Yi tribe who drink blood in the north.

After Ming Shiyin fled from Ningdu, he brought 100,000 soldiers from the north to surround Ningdu, and the Zheng family accounted for a large part of the credit. And the Zheng family has always been loyal to the Ming family.

After the division of the Seven Kingdoms into Xia, the Ming clan grasped the power of Ningdu, and named the head of the Zheng family as the head of the Hexi Corridor to the Zhenchuan Gate of Ningdu, and the military and political minister of Ningchuan Province controlled the military and people's livelihood of the entire Ningchuan Road, which can be described as supreme power.

With this right, the Zheng family designed to eliminate the weak former Lieutenant Zhenchuan and take this important position into his pocket.

Zheng Xuan took over as the captain of Zhenchuan for only five years, but he was decisive and won Ming Heng's favor.

There are nearly 140,000 displaced people outside the Zhenchuan Gate, and the lack of food has caused the displaced people to be very dissatisfied with Ningdu, this time the displaced people stormed the city gate, from the first two or three people, until more than a dozen people, and soon more and more displaced people have joined in, and the situation is about to be out of control.

It was Zheng Xuan who saw this situation and immediately made a decision and ordered to kill people, which stopped the expansion of this chaos!

No matter what era it is, ordering the killing of the outcasts will bear the infamy of the ages! You can starve to death without food, but you can't order heavily armed soldiers to kill these unarmed people.

Zheng Xuan didn't care whether he wanted to bear this infamy or not, and attacked decisively, so that those homeless people did not dare to storm the city again.

At this time, outside the Zhenchuan Gate, the displaced people can be said to be hungry and cold, and they have fled here, so naturally they can't carry many clothes, let alone quilts.

More than 100,000 people, black and oppressive, Zheng Xuan, who was standing above the city gate, was like an ant on the ground, without a trace of pity in his eyes.

"Lord Duwei, there is a Fumin who claims to be from the household department, and Xu Changsha asks to see him!" The soldiers climbed the tower and told Zheng Xuan.

"Tobe? Hum! Zheng Xuan smiled coldly, since the homeless people from the second city came, the household department did not send anyone to bring food over, and threw this mess to him.

But now they are sending men, what is the matter?

"Invite him here!" Zheng Xuan opened his mouth to speak, and there was no expression on his face.

Not long after, the soldiers led the two men up to the tower, and the man who walked in front of them was dressed in a light blue brocade robe, and his face was full of sorrow. Behind him was a seven-foot middle-aged man, judging from his steps, he should have a bit of a martial arts foundation.

These two people are Xu Xiang and Yang Dianfeng, and when they accept all the displaced people, they naturally want to say hello to the captain of the city patrol first.

"The household department Fumin ordered Xu Changsha to see Lord Duwei!" Xu Xiang bowed.

Zheng Xuan looked at Xu Xiang carefully, and only said in a half-loud voice: "What is the household department going to do?" ”

"Under the order of the king of Zhongshan, resettle the displaced people outside the city! This is the document of the King of Zhongshan, and I also ask Lord Du Wei to look at it. Xu Xiang handed over a silk cloth, which stated that the arrangements of the displaced people outside the city were to be handed over to Xu Changsha for handling, and the captains of each city gate were to give all the assistance, and it was stamped with the royal seal of the king of Zhongshan.

Zheng Xuan took the paperwork, looked at it seriously, and then gave it back to Xu Xiang and said, "What is Lord Xu going to do?" ”

"I heard that there was an incident of homeless people storming the city yesterday? Zheng Duwei killed all the sixty-seven homeless people who stormed the city and hung them under the city gate? Xu Xiang asked.

"It is true! Lord Xu, please look, the corpses of those sixty-seven people are still hanging! Zheng Xuan came to the edge of the city wall and pointed to the rows of wooden shelves outside the city gate, on which the bodies of those homeless people were tied.

Xu Xiang's heart ached faintly, these are unarmed ordinary people, how can he do it.

However, he agreed with Zheng Xuan's approach, the displaced people rushed to the city, and there were nearly 140,000 displaced people here, if it was not handled well, the entire Ningdu would be in chaos.

Sweeping back along this wooden frame, there are black and oppressive homeless people outside the city, which crowds the main road into the city, which makes it impossible to enter and exit the Zhenchuan Gate, and also affects the lives of the people, so that they have to go around a long way to enter and exit from other city gates.

At this moment, both of them noticed that the outcasts outside the city had begun to gather again, and some of them had broken off the branches of nearby trees and held them in their hands.

The homeless people with the branches began to gather slowly, and came towards the city gate with a large group of homeless people.

The leader shouted loudly: "Ning Du doesn't care whether we live or die, everyone is dead horizontally and vertically, it is better to follow me into the city and rush into the city to survive!" ”

When the man said this, many of the displaced people responded one after another, and the number soon grew from a few hundred to thousands.

Although he is holding some branches, but this branch is also a weapon, and with a weapon, it is completely different, that is, gathering a crowd to rebel!

Xu Xiang's heart suddenly, I'm afraid that things are going to get worse!

Sure enough, Zheng Xuan looked at the homeless people gathered outside the city, with a hint of coldness in his eyes, and said to the soldiers beside him: "Order, as long as the homeless people are within a hundred steps of the city gate, they will be killed by arrows!" ”

"Yes!" The soldier received the order and was ready to give the order.

Xu Xiang hurriedly said, "Captain Zheng, please wait a minute!" ”

"What? Lord Xu thinks that these homeless people, no, can the chaotic people still be saved? ”

"Lord Zheng, please give me the next chance, I am willing to go to the city to persuade the homeless! May I? Xu Xiang knew that at this juncture, Zheng Xuan would almost never agree, the extremely hungry homeless people could do anything!

Let Xu Xiang go down to persuade him, but he is afraid that he will be beaten to death with a stick.

"Do you want to go down and save these homeless? Is this what the King of Zhongshan commanded you to do? Zheng Xuan unexpectedly did not refuse directly, but asked rhetorically.

"This is not ordered by anyone, but I want to persuade these displaced people to avoid tragedy."

"How sure are you?" To be honest, Zheng Xuan saw so many miserable homeless, and he was also moved by compassion at that moment, these homeless people just wanted to live, and there was no fault.

However, as the general of the city gate and the captain of the city, in addition to accepting the orders of the King of Zhongshan, he also took over the important task of protecting the people in the city, and all the factors that would cause chaos must be erased as soon as possible.

"I'm not sure." Xu Xiang said frankly.

"You go down, if persuasion fails, you will die!"

"Fix what I want!" Xu Xiang looked into his eyes, and his tone was extremely sincere.

Zheng Xuan sighed in his heart, turned to the herald and said, "Escort Lord Xu out of the city." ”

Xu Xiang solemnly saluted Zheng Xuan, this city gate guard did not seem to be as cold-blooded and ruthless as he had heard, his approach was only to consider the overall situation.

Xu Xiang, who walked down the city wall, was speechless for a long time, not knowing how to convince these almost crazy homeless people, if he was rich, he would not hesitate to say that he would provide them with food and shelter, but if he opened his mouth, it would not work, and it would cause these homeless people to cause the failure of his plan, so he could only stabilize them first.

And Yang Dianfeng was silent, he knew that Xu Xiang couldn't persuade him to make a decision, in case these homeless people went crazy, he could only fight for his life to save his master.
