Zhao Jin was stunned, and the other partners in the room were also stunned, his official identity was just a Baozheng, and maybe there was a bad person identity who was not sold in the Zhizhou Yamen, why did he save the people of Fengyang, and he was from Xuzhou in Xuzhou, what does it have to do with Fengyang.

Hearing Zhao Jin's silence, Zhong Gonghui looked up, tears flowed down, and said with a sad hiss on his face: "Jin Ye, 100,000 people in Fengyang Mansion are homeless, and a catastrophe is about to come, Jin Ye save them."

"One hundred thousand", hearing this number, Zhao Jin's eyes froze, but he said: "Do you know how many homeless people I have killed?" The corpses and mountains and blood in Xuzhou City are all made by our brothers, but you are a homeless person but you come to beg me, are your brains okay? ”

The words seemed to be mocking, but Zhao Jin gestured while speaking, Liu Yong immediately walked to the door, pointed out at the people outside the door, and then also gestured, and the guards outside left the courtyard silently, and no one would approach the courtyard until they were called.

"Jin Ye, you have killed countless people, but you also have countless living people, if Jin Ye does not make a move, the nearly 20,000 Shandong people may all drown in the Yellow River, may not even be able to survive this winter, but now they can have food and a place to live, this is your great kindness and great mercy, it is to see your kindness and mercy to enter the master, the small one has the courage to come to you for help." This set of rhetoric should have been prepared a long time ago, Zhong Gonghui said endlessly.

While speaking, the four girls kneeling there kept looking up at Zhao Jin, as if they were looking at what kind of person Zhao Jin was, and whenever they looked at Zhao Jin, they always shy back.

This feeling of being watched by a girl and a beautiful girl is good, but Zhao Jin reacted immediately, he smiled and said, "Do you want to prepare these four girls as a meeting gift?" ”

When the words came out, Zhong Gonghui was stunned, the four girls' bodies trembled, their faces were red, and before Zhong Gonghui could speak, Zhao Jin said again: "Since they are homeless, they can't come up with anything good, Zhao and his brothers are all teenagers, so they just do what they like?" ”

Looking at Zhong Gonghui's dumbfounded appearance below, Zhao Jin said with a smile: "Xiao Yong, take these four girls out of the city, and find a few knowledgeable mothers-in-law to ask, Zhong Gonghui, if what you say is different from what the four of them said, none of you will survive."

Ji Xiang had been staring at the four girls, and when she heard Zhao Jin say this, she immediately showed a regretful expression, and wanted to speak but didn't make a sound.

Those girls didn't expect to deal with it like this, when they heard the words "can't live", they were all so frightened that their faces turned pale, their bodies were shaking, and the two of them cried directly, looked at Zhong Gonghui and cried: "Uncle Zhong"

But hearing Zhao Jin's words, Zhong Gonghui calmed down, he knelt there and turned his head and said, "Don't be afraid, if you have anything to say, it will be fine." ”

Zhao Jin and his partners had been staring at Zhong Gonghui's expression, and seeing that he didn't have a panicked expression, everyone exchanged glances with each other and nodded.

The girl was taken out of the city, and Liu Yong turned around after a while, during which Zhao Jin was silent and did not make a sound, and Zhong Gonghui, who was kneeling on the ground, did not have a panicked look, but just knelt with his head indifferently and did not show the slightest outrage.

Waiting for Liu Yong to turn around, Zhao Jin said: "You can talk about it in detail."

I listened to what happened to the Qi brothers in the morning, and now I hear about the situation of the Fengyang homeless people, but I didn't expect it when I was in the cave last night.

"Jin Ye, the people of Fengyang are miserable" Zhong Gonghui began with a trembling voice, and he could listen to himself in detail, this was the beginning of a good life.

Before coming, Zhong Gonghui always had some tricks in mind, and tried his best to make up the beauty, and felt that Zhao Jin and the others were young and vigorous, and he could always play tricks, but he didn't expect that it was such a quiet young man, in addition to being quiet, the murderous aura was too strong, and several people sat and stared at themselves, only to feel a chill on their bodies, and their brains turned slowly.

However, being old also has the advantage of being old, and when you find that you can't be clever, you will speak honestly.

Fengyang Mansion has a disaster this year, and Zhao Jin and his partners are very clear about this, this year, Shandong, Henan, and Nanzhili are full of disasters, which is not uncommon.

Shandong is full of displaced people, Fengyang Mansion Huaishang gathered more than 300,000 displaced people, led to the Pizhou area by people with a heart, as a result, Xuzhou general Zhou exposed the army to quell the chaos, so that the Xuzhou area is completely empty, some of these hundreds of thousands of displaced people died in Pizhou, some returned to Fengyang, and some did not leave at all.

After the worst of the drought has passed, many of the displaced people who were lucky enough to survive have already pondered returning to their hometowns, and it has already rained a little, so they can still have a harvest if they plant something.

However, no one thought that the soldiers and horses of Fengyang Mansion had not returned to the camp, but had been cleaning up the thieves, and the powerful township brave regiments everywhere were also pursuing like crazy, and the displaced people who were caught were either bought and sold as slaves, or died tragically under the knife.

Someone went to the yamen to complain, but the end was nowhere to be found, this thing was done too big, it was impossible to want a trace of rumors not to come out, and finally the displaced people vaguely knew the news, this time up and down, the government and the gentry united to completely swallow the land caused by the exodus of the displaced people.

This is a great benefit, because the drought has destroyed not only the peasant households, but also many small and medium-sized landlords, and the sum of these lands is superior in both quantity and quality, and if swallowed, it is a huge benefit

The Fengyang garrison eunuch and the Fengyang governor reached a tacit understanding, as long as they don't make a sound, there will be no homeless people in Fengyang Mansion to return to their hometowns, wandering homeless people are thieves, and the officials, soldiers and regiments are not guilty of extinguishing and killing.

In the past, because of the collection of taxes and the apportionment of conscription, the government did not have a harmonious relationship with the local squires, and even the confrontation between regimental training and the officers and soldiers was not uncommon, but this time, Fengyang up and down, especially north of the Huai River, up and down were united.

It is said that it is a disaster year, but the income is greater than that of a good year, as long as you are lucky, it is easy to increase the family property several times, and it can even increase dozens of times when it becomes bigger.

It's not a gentry without a conscience, but in such an environment, if you don't join in, you will only be destroyed by others, and your property will be swallowed by others.

Some of the homeless people wanted to try their luck in returning, but on the way, because they couldn't get a new road guide certificate, they were treated as bandits, and those who resisted a little were killed, and the others were sold into slavery.

In fact, these people who were captured as slaves are still lucky, all parts of Fengyang Mansion originally wanted to arrest these homeless people as slaves, otherwise they would have embezzled the land but there was no way to cultivate, it would be in vain, but now the displaced people in Henan came to Fengyang Mansion from Henan along the tributaries of the Huai River such as Vortex and Hushui, and they heard all kinds of rumors about Xuzhou, and they were afraid that they would be killed there, and Fengyang Mansion became their choice.

In this year, the news was blocked, although the disaster in Fengyang Mansion was circulated, but because of the blockade of Fengyang Mansion in the early stage, it was not publicized, but the deeds of Zhao Jin in Xuzhou to destroy the thieves were widely spread because of their own legends, and they were exaggerated countless times.

It is also a certain sense of the trade-off, the displaced people do not dare to go to Xuzhou, but feel that Fengyang Mansion has a way of life, and a large number of people pour in.

Originally, I was worried that the vacant land would be cultivated by people, and it was also a group of displaced people who could only eat as long as they had food, and these people had no foundation and were easier to control.

With such a better choice, the original local refugees in Fengyang have become a scourge of thieves that must be swept away.

Zhao Jin is in Xuzhou, although he also uses business travelers as eyeliner, but when he comes to Fengyang Mansion soldiers and thieves everywhere, the road is difficult, and an outsider walks mostly on official roads, and most of the accommodation is in the city inn, how can he see the scene in the countryside, so he doesn't understand it at all.

However, when I heard Zhong Gonghui say that the refugees in Henan, Zhao Jin and his partners looked at each other and smiled bitterly, sure enough, if you understand the reason, others will also think of it, Zhao Ziying left the Shandong refugees to cultivate the fields, and the local tyrants in Fengyang Mansion also thought of this truth, but they are afraid that they will do it more thoroughly than Zhao Ziying.

As for Zhong Gonghui's story, it is not difficult to guess, he was originally a talent in the countryside of Suzhou, and his family also had 2,000 acres of land.

The Ming generation, after the Zhengde year, began to have landlords who were good at farming, they improved the tool skills, cultivated seedlings, deep ploughing and fertilization, etc., through the improvement of cultivation techniques to increase production and income, Zhong Gonghui is also such a landlord, his family's 2,000 acres of land is more than other 3,000 acres of grain, but also planted vegetables and the like, with a carriage to sell in the city, more income.

When the catastrophe came, what most of the local tyrants did was to take advantage of the fire to rob and scrape up the last bit of the local farmers' wealth, so that they could sell their fields and land, and sell their sons and daughters.

Zhong Gonghui helped his tenants as much as possible, and even helped his neighbors tide over the difficulties, which was a good act in itself, but it made all the local tyrants and squires around him jealous, and even the government felt that this person took advantage of the disaster year to buy people's hearts, and there must be bad intentions.

Then, when the top and bottom did not allow the displaced people to return to their hometowns, Zhong Gonghui stood up and said justice, not only went to the yamen to complain, but also wrote letters to friends who were officials in other places, asking them to think of ways to stop the matter.

As a result, the yamen said that he was vain, and even wanted to get rid of his fame, and the letter he wrote to his friends in other places was handed over by his subordinates as soon as he left the house.

That is, the next night, the Zhong family caught fire in the middle of the night, and a group of masked "thieves" rushed in to kill people when they saw them.

This time Zhong Gonghui had a heart, did not go to the government to report the case, but fled completely, and then the news came, the government said that the case was committed by thieves, saying that Zhong Gonghui had died at home
