After Li Ling's rectification, the weather in Lanzhou is indeed much better than before. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Wars in the northwest are frequent, and many people leave their hometowns to earn a living elsewhere in order to find a place.
The stable city of Lanzhou has entered the field of vision of the refugees, and more and more ordinary people have poured into it.
These people are complex, which puts a lot of pressure on the government.
Li Ling did not refuse these people.
He did not stop anyone who wanted to enter the city, but before entering the city, he had to freshen up in the river and put on new clothes.
Li Ling's only concern is that the health of these refugees is very poor, just don't bring the plague into Lanzhou City!
When changing clothes, the soldiers screen the identity of the homeless people, and at least three people must identify each other and vouch for each other before they can enter the city. If you find someone who can wait, you will be treated immediately.
Everything is based on the safety of Lanzhou City!
There was a large open space at the west gate of the city, and Li Ling decided to settle these refugees there, and when the situation stabilized, he would help the refugees build houses near the west gate.
For the time being, they can only live in tents, and the army will come here every day to patrol the area to prevent accidents.
As long as the refugees enter the city of Lanzhou, they will be safe.
Every day, there will be servants near the tent to give porridge, even if you are penniless, you will not starve to death, if you do your best, you will have your own house in the future.
This is the prefect's promise, and he has a clear idea of how to resettle this group of refugees.
"The prefect is a good person, in the future, we will follow him wherever he points to fight!"
This is the unanimous sentiment of the refugees, who have also visited other towns on the way to Lanzhou, and the officials inside are afraid to avoid them, so they do not open the gates for these people at all.
They also have good reasons, what if there are Mongol spies mixed in?
The western city was well checked, and two fast horses galloped past the city gate, and entered the city through the east city gate.
They walked down the alley from the east to the west of the city, and went straight to the tent area, where the two kept looking at the people in the tent.
They talked as they went.
"Boss, do you think I'm really going to do it here? I've heard people talk about it. The Li family army defending Lanzhou is invincible, and even the Tatar cavalry is not afraid, let's stop causing trouble for the big boss! It wouldn't be worth it if Master Li misunderstood us! ”。
"What do you know, they only have a few thousand troops and horses, and they can really destroy tens of thousands of Tatar soldiers? Laughing at the dead, in the past, the generals of Lanzhou City were cowhides that were bigger than the other, and they all died! Li Ling Bacheng also exaggerated the results of the battle, we don't have to be afraid of him! The officials in Lanzhou City had to compromise with us! ”。
The two self-sustaining identities are special, and they don't take such displaced people into account at all.
"Big brother, isn't it Guo in front of you? And their little daughter, who owes us fifteen taels of silver! ”。
The two searched in the crowd for a while and finally found their target, these people are really not very honest, do they naively think that they can become homeless people and not pay off their debts?
It's not that easy to walk away.
"Sister-in-law Guo, don't come unharmed!". A woman tried to enter the tent but was stopped by someone!
She turned her head to find two people standing in front of him who she didn't know.
The two were dressed brightly, but they looked very unfriendly, and Sister-in-law Guo couldn't help but ask them, "Who are you?" and how to know me ......".
What Sister-in-law Guo didn't expect was that these two people actually came to collect debts.
Her family lives in Yuzhong County, which was originally a well-off family, not only has a house and land, but also has a lot of money on hand.
She and her husband live in harmony and beauty, and the two have a daughter, and the family is more homely.
However, there were unforeseen circumstances, and the two old people, father-in-law and mother-in-law, were caught by Tatar soldiers in order to cover up their children and grandchildren during the invasion of Tatar soldiers.
Both of them were killed in their own homes.
Sister-in-law Guo's husband watched his parents die in front of him, and since then his personality has changed greatly, not only drinking heavily, but also getting involved in gambling.
After the whole family business was lost by her husband, she died! Sister-in-law Guo later learned that her husband had not only sold the property, but also borrowed usury from others.
Where could she afford it, so she had no choice but to take her daughter to join the ranks of the homeless.
I thought that they would not have to repay the debt after leaving their hometown, but they did not expect that even if they left a foreign country for more than ten miles, they still did not escape.
"Lady of the Guo family, you now owe us a total of three hundred taels of silver with interest, I think you still pay it back obediently, so as not to let us waste our tongues again!" A big man said directly: "If you can't get the money, go back with us, so that you can give us an explanation for the big boss!" ”。
"I, I don't have any money, and I don't want to go back with you......," Sister-in-law Guo replied with a trembling body.
Chu Dangjia is a bandit, all women who can't afford to pay back are brought back to the cottage, and they have only one ultimate fate, and women can only become men's playthings in the bandits' den.
"Two uncles spare your lives...... please give you a few days, I will definitely raise money for you, and I will definitely find a way to raise money for you......." Sister-in-law Guo suddenly knelt down for the two!
She also has no choice, if she has three longs and two shorts, her daughter will definitely not survive.
"Sister-in-law Guo, I advise you to go with me obediently, and when you get to the camp, I will take care of you!" The eldest man laughed while grabbing Guo's sister-in-law's hand.
As long as she is caught and taken out of Lanzhou City immediately, the two of them will be done.
Sister-in-law Guo is only less than thirty, although she has a cloth dress and hairpin, she still has a few points of beauty left.
When the time comes, maybe Boss Chu will give the two brothers a credit!
"Help, help!". Sister-in-law Guo escaped the invasion of the big man and shouted!
The sound soon came out, and everyone's tents were very close, and many warm-hearted people gathered around.
"Mother, mother......, what's wrong with you?". Guo Ying, the daughter of Guo's sister-in-law, also walked out of the tent.
She was worried about her mother's safety!
The eyes of the two big men lit up, and the daughter who came over was only thirteen or fourteen years old, and her whole body was filled with a youthful atmosphere.
She is much more beautiful than Guo's, and it seems that it is more valuable to bring Guo Ying back.
"Sister-in-law Guo, you don't seem to want to go back with us, so how about we draw another path for you! As long as you let us take your daughter back with us, this matter will pass like this, and you will still be your outcast, I don't know what to do? ”。
The two changed their minds, and they wanted to arrest Guo Ying back.
"Mother, I don't want to go back with them!". Although Guo Ying didn't know what the two of them were going to do when they caught themselves, she knew that it was not a good thing when she saw the two big men who were fierce and vicious!
Guo Ying hurriedly hid behind her mother!
More displaced people emerged from the tents, and together they surrounded the two big men, and many began to condemn them.
"Since her husband left, the Guo family and her mother have lived in extreme poverty, and this Chu Da family is really lacking in morality, so dedicated to bullying orphans and widows!"
"Guo Ying is only thirteen, you can actually kill such a young child, are you still human?"
The homeless people were unanimous and targeted the two strong men.
But they didn't think so, thirteen years old is good, it's a girl like a flower, what you want is such an age, as long as you bring her back, Boss Chu won't reward the two?
The two stubbornly wanted to take Guo Ying away, and the homeless people shouted at the same enemy, and the two sides made a lot of trouble!
"Your Excellency is here, your prefect is here, everyone will let you go!". The soldiers on the periphery shouted and cheered.
The displaced people consciously gave way to a passage.
It was indeed Li Ling and Yang Ying who came, and they came here to visit these homeless people.
Although there is a lot of vacant land in Lanzhou City, there is not much left of houses, and if the displaced people want to live in peace again, they must build again.
Li Ling had already made a decision in his heart: to support these displaced people through cash-for-work.
In addition, the houses built are all lived in by themselves, and the displaced people will definitely make great efforts.
"My lord, our mother and daughter can't come up with any more money, please help us with Governor Li!"
Sister-in-law Guo retold all the situation.
"Master Li, we are all from the Chu family, today you let us take people away, how about our cottage owes you a favor?" The strong man said confidently.
There are thousands of people in their cottage, how can Li Ling not be afraid?
The strong men are very confident, Li Ling can make a wise choice, it is not worth offending a strong cottage for the sake of two homeless people.
Although the Chu family could not break through Lanzhou City, they could give them a fatal blow when the Li family army and the Tatar soldiers were in a fierce battle.
The two strong men smiled and waited for Li Ling's reply.
"My answer is to wipe out your cottages!". Li Ling said loudly: "I once said that you are not allowed to do such a thing as usury in Lanzhou Mansion, but you still do your own thing, since this is the case, don't blame me for being ruthless!" ”。
He had investigated that this group of bandits did not oppose the official army, and more often they attacked the Tatar soldiers.
Li Ling didn't want to touch them, but he didn't expect that Chu Dangjia was still doing usury, so he couldn't ignore it!
"You, you...... Do you really want to go to war with us? Aren't you afraid that the snipe and the clam will compete with each other and the fisherman will profit? The strong man looked at Li Ling carefully, they didn't expect to make such a decision at all!
Li Ling shook his head, a small cottage was not enough to become his enemy at all!
Others can't take the cottage, and they are afraid of the defense of the cottage, but this Li Jiajun is not a threat at all!
He's got a couple of cannons in his hands!
"My lord, we, let's go, I remember everything you said, and we will tell them all to Chu Dangjia."
The two strong men saw Li Ling's courage and disdain, he really wanted to deal with the copycat opponent, and it was unknown whether they could get out of Lanzhou City!
"The two of you only need one person to report the news: tell the owner of the cottage to bring all the people to Lanzhou to surrender within three days, otherwise I will lead the troops to destroy the cottage!"
Li Ling clearly told these two cottage minions. Only one person can live to deliver the letter. Another person can only die here.
Li Ling said that if there are any more loan sharks, they will be severely punished, and one of them must die!
"Brother, don't listen to him, Li Ling is dividing us!" The boss continued to persuade: "If you want to die together, if you want to live together, I don't believe that Li Ling can kill us!" ”。
The distance between the two became more and more, and the boss suddenly took out a long knife and slashed at his companion.
The long knife penetrated his companion's stomach at once, and even the large intestine was squeezed out of the stomach.
The companion fell in response, and the horse neighed and galloped into the distance.
He didn't even understand what was going on, why did the boss hurt himself?
"Master Li, it's okay now!" The strong man asked hoarsely, and he had no choice but to decide to kill his companion.
He beat his horse and left the city of Lanzhou.
Li Ling really didn't intercept her again.
"Xiaoba, send a scout to go back with him, don't act rashly, just find out the specific situation of their cottage!" Li Ling said lightly.
If they don't come to surrender, Li Ling can only choose to attack three days later!
"Thank you, Lord Lee, thank you, Lord Lee!".
The strong man ran and died, and finally no one asked him for usury. Sister-in-law Guo and Guo Ying were naturally happy, they escaped the catastrophe!
Li Ling and Yang Ying left with the team.
Everyone is very grateful to them, this Lanzhou city is indeed different. The usury they had borrowed before now has to be repaid!
"Guo Ying and sister-in-law Guo are really pitiful! What if she doesn't borrow usury on a useless husband? ”。 An ordinary-looking woman pulled the corner of her husband's coat and said, "Lessons from the past, in order to prevent you from getting contaminated with bad customs, I will still be in charge of the family's finances in the future!" ”。
When we first proposed, we had an agreement that the financial power would be managed by the wife after marriage, but she never got the financial power for a few months after getting married.
"Husband, you must hand over the financial power of the family to me!" When the crowd dispersed, the couple was still arguing loudly.
Sister-in-law Guo's matter gave his wife a reasonable reason, only by handing over all the financial rights of the family can the husband not go out and fool around!
"Since you never keep your promises, we don't need to go on!"
The wife left her husband in a fit of rage.
Everyone thought that she lost her temper and went to her parents' house, and she didn't even care about her husband.
Two days later, when the husband went to his father-in-law's house to look for his wife, he ran into a wall: she had never returned to her parents' home.
Someone came to report the case, and a female corpse was found outside the city, disheveled, and the deceased's mouth was sealed with strips of cloth.
When the husband heard about this, he felt that something was wrong, and he went to the scene of the crime in a panic, and saw at a glance that the deceased was his wife.
"Why, why is this happening? Why did you run away from home? ”。 The husband was in an extremely bad mood at this time.
If I knew this, everything should depend on her!
