Chapter Eighty-Eight: Prison
was put in prison again, and this was the second time Hao Jian had entered the prison since he arrived in Qingxi County.
It's just that the conditions in this prison are obviously much worse than the first time.
For the first time, it was also a regular cell, and the environment inside was also good.
However, the location of the cell set up by the Wenxiang Sect is in a cave, and a simple guardrail can be regarded as a block, and no one cleans it up, and there is a smell of urine when you enter it, which makes people very uncomfortable.
There was not just one, but several, and there were people in each room. These people have either offended the Smelling Fragrance Sect, or are preparing to apostasy, and there are some people who the Smelling Fragrance Sect wants to win over.
Depending on the importance of the Smelling Fragrance Sect, the cells in which these people are held are also good and bad.
Hao Jian is considered to be a little important to the Wenxiang Sect, and his room is average, but there is only one extra mat.
Although it was already summer at this time, there was still a hint of coolness in this cave.
"Stay inside."
A Smelling Fragrance Sect disciple pushed Hao Jian into the prison, and after a few words of warning to Hao Jian, he walked away.
Hao Jian saw that the door was locked, and there was no way but to turn around and look at the environment where he lived.
"Lord Hao, you were also captured by the Wenxiang Sect?"
At this time, Hao Jian heard a shout behind him, obviously this person knew himself.
"Who?"
Turning his head in surprise, Hao Jian is gaze fell on the few people who spoke.
In this prison, in addition to Hao Jian, there are two other people, both of whom are wearing scribe's clothes, and they don't need to look at it to know whose doorman or staff it must be.
"A certain person is a staff member of the Duan Mansion, my name is Zhou Hong, and this is Bicang."
The man named Zhou Hong first introduced himself.
Zhou Hong? Bicang?
These two people didn't have the slightest impression in Hao Jian's heart, but when they said that they were Duan Mansion's staff, Hao Jian suddenly recalled.
Didn't this Duan Chong bring two staff members with him after he first came to Qingxi County? But then these two people didn't know where they went, and Hao Jian was busy visiting the township in those days, and he didn't bother to care.
As for Duan Zichong, this kid was also busy eating and eating every day, and he didn't mention it in front of Hao Jian. If you ask questions, it's asking how to eat this thing!
I didn't expect that the two people who disappeared were actually arrested by the Wenxiang Sect.
"What are you two doing here? Aren't you supposed to be in the Praetorian Guard? ”
Hao Jian took a few steps forward and came to the two of them and asked.
"Alas, Lord Hao, it's also ashamed. In fact, we brought the Praetorian Guards to Qingxi County to the task given by the above, the purpose is to investigate and deal with the news in Qingxi County, whether it is the Wenxiang Sect or the bandits, but I didn't expect that we were arrested not long after we started to act. ”
Zhou Hong sighed and shook his head.
In the original plan, it should be a very simple matter to check Qingxi County, but what Zhou Hong didn't expect was that they were arrested just after they started to act.
If it weren't for the fact that Hao Jian had also been arrested now, maybe no one really knew the news that the two of them had been arrested.
"I see, what have you investigated?"
Hao Jian also knows nothing about the Wenxiang Sect now, and he only knows what saints they have here and what pope they have.
According to what they said before, the current Wenxiang Sect is preparing to start an incident, and the place where the incident starts should be in Qingxi County.
However, Hao Jian still didn't know what was going on inside.
"We know a lot about the bandits, but we know that they are supposed to be in the same league as the aliens. And this Smelling Fragrance Sect should have been planning something big recently, if the two of us guessed correctly, they should be preparing to rebel! ”
Zhou Hong spoke first.
"This Wenxiang Sect's ambition this time is not small, according to our investigation, the entire southwest region has their rudders, and the scale of each rudder is not small, the situation is very crisis."
Bi Cang, who was on the side, also added.
"It seems that this Smelling Fragrance Sect is really preparing to rebel? But why hasn't it moved yet? ”
Hao Jian was very curious, Wenxiang Sect, as a professional rebel, gave them a bamboo pole and dared to make believers make trouble, why is it so low-key now?
"Lord Hao has noticed, from the beginning of spring to the present near Qingxi County, no, it should be that there is not a drop of rain in the entire southwest!"
Bi Cang said worriedly.
Didn't rain?
Hearing this, Hao Jian's eyes widened. Indeed, since coming to Qingxi County, the whole Qingxi County has not rained, although the Qingshui River is still flowing happily, but some people complain that the Qingshui River is not as turbulent as in previous years.
Great drought!
If it doesn't rain for a long time, it's a drought!
Previously, Hao Jian also found out that there was a major drought in the counties and cities near Qingxi County, but fortunately, there was enough grain and nothing major happened.
But now it is different, if the drought continues, there will be no food in the autumn harvest, and the people will have nothing to eat. The most important thing is that the Smelling Fragrance Sect is instigating it in the back, even if the world doesn't want to make a big mess!
Famine, food shortage, natural disasters are not terrible. What is terrible, is the outcast!
When a famine breaks out in a place, in order to escape the disaster, these people are moving around, and the ranks are constantly growing.
They will have an organized flow.
The flow is not the same as before.
They will rob, they will plunder. It will ransack one place like locusts, and then another.
The most terrifying thing is that this organizational structure will also increase because of the increase in the number of people who wander around.
Originally, some places were enough to live, but since the displaced people, they have run out of food, so in order to make a living, they can only follow the displaced people, or they are coerced by the displaced people to continue to move forward, and become new locusts.
In this continuous cycle, the organization of the displaced people will continue to expand, and the calamity will also expand.
What was supposed to be a problem that could be solved by simply transferring food around the world immediately turned into a major disaster.
If the government does not handle it well, then the displaced people may still shout: "The sky is dead, and the yellow sky should stand!" The slogan has entered a new era.
"No wonder that yin and yang weird saint said what the heavens blessed, it turned out to be such an abacus!"
Hao Jian frowned, he didn't expect things to develop in such a direction.
"Actually, Lord Hao, we are even more worried about the alien races outside the city. They may have also guessed the actions of the Smelling Fragrance Sect, although the war outside the gate has stopped for the time being, there are more and more alien races outside the city......"
As the staff of the military department, and they are also the staff members used in that kind of war, Zhou Hong and the others obviously look farther than ordinary people.
The Smelling Fragrance Sect rebelled, and if the alien race took the opportunity to follow the chaos at this time, then things would be in trouble.
At that time, the Dakang Dynasty can be said to be really going to face ups and downs.
And the most fatal thing now is that there is an alien army outside Qingxi County, although they are not many in number, but they are in the hinterland of the Han nationality. Once a surprise attack is launched, then whether Long Yuguan can be saved is a question.
From this point of view, the current situation in Qingxi County is becoming more and more crisis.
Once something is discovered, then Qingxi County will inevitably be the first target to be attacked.
"Then do you know why the people of the Smelling Fragrance Sect are targeting Qingxi County like this?"
Hao Jian looked at Zhou Hong and Bi Cang and continued to ask.
"Food!"
Zhou Hong and Bi Cang glanced at each other.
War needs two things, people and supplies!
And the most important thing in all materials is food, especially in ancient times with low productivity, with food, it means that the troops will not go hungry, it is equal to combat effectiveness!
"Grain? Qingxi County is all sand fields, what kind of food can be produced? ”
Hao Jian glanced at the two of them curiously, the soil quality in Qingxi County is not very good, it is all sandy, and it is not very suitable for the growth of the banker.
However, it is still good to grow sweet potatoes and potatoes.
"Although there are no paddy fields in Qingxi County, there are granaries in Qingxi County, my lord. The strategic materials of Longyu Pass are basically placed in Qingxi County. ”
In order to protect the safety of strategic materials, Longyuguan deposited most of the strategic materials in Qingxi County.
It can be said that Qingxi County is the base camp of Longyuguan, and if something happens to Qingxi County, Longyuguan will be really dangerous.
