After being stared at like this for a moment, Wang Xiong was a little anxious, and Zhu Da shook his head with a disdainful smile, which was very similar to Wang Xiong's daily attitude.

"Wang Jiaotou really doesn't know the people's suffering, they just don't want to contribute to the county, so they just roll all over the ground." Zhu Da was too lazy to sell Guanzi, but still nodded.

"The people still dare to disobey the officials, if they are not forced to die, how dare they gather such a crowd to confront each other." Wang Xiong rarely accepted that indifferent attitude, stared at Zhu Da and said seriously.

"A common people are sheep, dozens or hundreds of sheep, but if it is the people of the same township and clan, then it is not good to say whether it is a wolf or a sheep, when there are many people and there is a backbone, they are not worse than the officials, do you think it is not the people who fight for water and fight for the ground to kill and injure? Aren't it the common people who were murdered and robbed by merchants in the past? Aren't they the people who kill and sell orphans and widows and embezzle their goods? Zhu Da didn't speak fast or in a high voice, as if he was talking about ordinary things, but Wang Xiong's expression changed from anger to consternation.

Zhu Da smiled and looked at the refugees who were confronting, and said leisurely: "They may not know the severity, but they feel that they can not go, and feel that they can fight for some benefits, there are not many people of the same clan and clan living in this city, and hundreds of families outside the city are all one, they feel that they can fight, and even get greater benefits, why not fight." ”

"It's a pity I ran into you?" Wang Xiong returned to normal, and asked with a smile.

"If they are elsewhere, they may not be able to take refuge in the city, if they enter the city, they will not be able to toss out a big mess in the county, there are more than 100 young and strong, the servants may not be able to do anything, if they really want to tear their faces and do it, I am afraid that this city will not be able to hold it, if they do not tear their faces, I am afraid that there will be greater chaos next, if the county is ruthless, there will be big casualties on both sides, if the county cowers, then there must be other people suffering, I said this, did the head of the Wang sect think of it?"

Zhu Da's words made Wang Xiong stunned, and only after Zhu Da finished speaking did he breathe a sigh, Zhu Da made almost all aspects clear, in such a critical situation, if the county does not give in, it will damage the overall situation, there must be unnecessary casualties, if you give in, it will definitely not be the officials who suffer, and nine times out of ten it will be passed on to other people, so, who suffers whom?

When the two of them were chatting, there were already nearly fifty family members and young people lined up nearby, and the sharp-eyed people could also see that there were more than ten horsemen lined up at the street intersection not far away, which was the strength of the caravan guards.

Wang Xiong sighed, looked at Zhu Da and said, "When they met the proprietor, they were unlucky, and there was a lot less trouble in the county." ”

"They were lucky to meet me, otherwise they would have died at the hands of the Tartars outside the city, or they would have died at the hands of the Tartars after the city was broken." Zhu Da sneered, and after finishing speaking, he whispered a few words to Chang Kai beside him.

After hearing Zhu Da's order, Chang Kai was stunned for a moment, then a sneer appeared on his face, nodded and ran to the side of the two sides of the confrontation.

When Zhu Da and the others walked down from the city, the officers on the opposite side kept looking at it, but these people who entered the city were still unconscious, they naturally didn't know who Zhu Da was, maybe they had heard the name, but they had never seen the real person.

"At the moment of the great enemy, these thieves are disobedient and disrespectful, intent on chaos, collusion with the Tartars, lord...... Zhu Gongzi has an order, regardless of death or injury, all of them will be arrested and punished as slaves! ”

After these words were shouted, the scene was quiet, and the servants and young men in the city looked back, while the people outside the city who gathered to confront each other were dumbfounded, and they didn't seem to have committed any major crimes, so they were charged with colluding with the Tartars, and they had to be punished as slaves, and they suddenly changed from good citizens to slaves.

"The official, the official, the little people just want to ask clearly, why was they detained for such a crime, the little people are not convinced, and when the Tartar is gone, the little one is going to beat the drum and shout injustice......"

There was an old voice in the crowd, and I couldn't see who this person was outside, but this shouted, and the people who participated in the confrontation immediately followed suit, and the momentum of Fang Cai disappeared, and it became a grievance of the crowd, everyone was shouting grievances, and the cry of the woman who was still mixed with the crowd just now suddenly overwhelmed everything, if you haven't seen the person who confronted just now, looking at the current situation, you will only feel that the officials are bullying people, and the critical situation of the Tatar captives pressing the territory, and they have to torture the refugees, it is really unreasonable.

"Now it's a sheep!" Zhu Da sneered and said, Wang Xiong, who saw these passing, was emotional, and before he could talk to Zhu Da, Zhu Da said in a muffled voice: "Let's go over,"

When he walked to the front, Wang Xiong was stunned, he had always felt keen and observant, and had noticed that the people standing in the front row of the refugee crowd had changed a wave, just now they were still holding sticks, and they were fierce and strong, but now they have become old, weak, sick and disabled, all of them are miserable, crying and begging for mercy, even hard-hearted people will feel pity when they see it.

Five steps away, Zhu Da stopped, didn't speak, just glanced coldly, and the family servants who were transferred over were all standing quietly around, not long after such treatment, the refugees all stopped talking, bowed their heads in fear, but behind them were fellow villagers, and they couldn't take a few steps back.

In such a situation, the adults were much quieter, but the children were scared and cried, so they were afraid that the children would cry too quietly, but now they were afraid that the children's voices would be too loud, and the elders around them directly covered the children's mouths.

"Those over fifty years old, those with disabilities, children under twelve years old, and women with children, come out, and no one else moves." Zhu Da said loudly.

Zhu Da said plainly, but it made the crowd commotion, the refugee crowd inside and outside wanted to look inside, Zhu Da did not urge and waited there, after a while, there was a young man on the periphery who shouted: "What is the master going to do, you have to attack the women and children......"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted, and Zhu Da pointed to the young man who replied and smiled: "You are disabled, you also stand up." ”

The young man who was pointed out was stunned, and subconsciously replied: "Master, the small one is not a disability. ”

He didn't react, but the poor people standing around knew what to do, and walked forward with a cruel smile, and some people whispered "This is the master's style", when the crowd was separated, the refugees wanted to block it, but they were driven away by the wolf-like messengers, and the refugees did not have the desperate momentum of Fang Cai.

After the man was pulled out, he was directly pressed to the ground, and an errand picked up a wooden stick and looked at Zhu Da, Zhu Da swept his eyes and was held down by the man and said, "One leg is broken." ”

After this statement, the officer swung his stick and smashed it down, and everyone present could clearly hear the "click", and the silence was broken by a terrible scream.

Screaming and crying, but only this one person screamed and cried, the others were either cold-eyed or cowering, no one dared to make a sound, and Zhu Da shouted to the crowd: "People over fifty years old, ...... with disabilities"

Before the words fell, the refugees first looked at Zhu Da, then turned their heads to look at one place, only to see the crowd separated, and an old man in his early fifties who was a little rich walked out, this person was dressed better than most people, at this time his face was full of humility and panic, and he walked to Zhu Da and said in a trembling voice: "This young master, we are all good citizens......

"You're the patriarch?"

"So that the master knows that there are no clans in our Hujia Village, and the little old man is the oldest."

"Stand over there."

Zhu Da asked, he didn't want to say more, and coldly sent the person to the side, the old man didn't have the slightest toughness, nodded and walked over there quickly.

With this person taking the lead, the other refugees and people also did the same, the old and weak women and children came out one after another, and lined up at the position designated by Zhu Da, and the young men who were menacing just now were silent, looking at Zhu Da and the officials in the city with fear in their eyes, and they were extremely tame.

"Brother Chang, arrange dozens of people to go over on each city wall, break up all the people, and let them do the hard work." Zhu Da shouted Chang Kai and said, he didn't lower his voice when he said these words, the refugees who were not far away could hear it, all of them had bitter faces, and some people begged and begged, but none of them showed resentment, let alone anger and resistance.

Chang Kai is an old and errand character, and naturally he will not have any mercy when he sees such a scene, so he agreed with a smile and shouted to the nearby messengers to come over and lead the team.

At this time, the number of servants was far less than that of the refugees, and some of them did not even have equipment, but the refugees, who were far outnumbered of them, were as docile as sheep and obedient, and they were taken away in such a group, and the women and children did not dare to cry loudly.

Wang Xiong watched all this quietly, and when Zhu Da stepped away, he smiled self-deprecatingly and said: "I used to come here on this day, but now I have forgotten, I am really shallow." ”

Zhu Da ignored his emotion, and now he has no time to sigh, there are too many things to be busy with, and it is not enough to prepare for such a catastrophe.

The next place to go is the blacksmith shop of the Zhang family, at such a critical moment, Zhang Da Hammer and his father are not allowed to calculate, everything must serve the defense of the city, but some people sacrifice their lives and money, and it is only useful to come to the door to explain the words.

After walking more than ten steps, the dog that had just stopped for a long time began to bark again, barking without any warning, which seemed to be a signal, all the livestock were neighing and anxious, even the babies were crying, and the whole Huairen County was suddenly restless.

At first, Zhu Da thought that he was frightened by something, but then he realized what was happening, and he directly leaned down and put his ear to the ground to listen carefully, unlike the previous time, this time he did hear the movement.

There were no noticeable tremors, but there were no warnings high above the city, and the thick snow on the ground absorbed the distant tremors and sounds, and the tremors could still be felt in the midst of the walls and buildings in the city, and the most sensitive livestock and children might feel it even more.

“...... Here comes the Tartars......" Juda raised his upper body and said in a deep voice.
