As for how to deal with the scourge, there is no need to say more.

Qingmingguan is very large, but the warehouses are easy to find, because as far as the eye can see, there are at least dozens of granaries in the north of the city.

Each is more than ten zhang high, the diameter is two zhang, and the inside can be stored in about one million stones.

This amount is obviously the amount of the normal reserve category of Qingmingguan, even if there is a large army stationed in Qingmingguan, it is not enough food, so it is a foregone conclusion that the Qingmingguan guards will loot the people's fat and ointment, and it is imperative to open a warehouse and release grain.

"Everyone, stop the noise first, follow me to the granary, I will open the warehouse to release the grain, but you have to promise me a condition, after receiving the grain, immediately exit the Qingming Pass, otherwise, the matter will not be discussed. ”

The refugees were all surprised when they heard this, opening a warehouse to release grain requires the permission of the imperial court, this young man's big tone, could it be that he has a great background?

But it's not right to think about it, if he really has a great background, he wouldn't have been in a stalemate with the defending sergeant outside the city for a long time just now, just show his identity?

"Does your words count, who are you to dare to say that?"

"yes, why should we believe you?"

"You have the ability to forcibly open a warehouse to release grain, we believe it, but do you dare to guarantee that we will not be surrounded and suppressed by Qingmingguan after receiving the grain?"

One after another questions rang out, and I have to say that their worries are indeed not superfluous, but since Li Xunlian dared to say so, he was naturally absolutely sure, and immediately assured that the things they were worried about would never happen, and no matter what happened in the future, he would bear the consequences.

As soon as they said this, the refugees felt a lot more at ease, although they also knew that their words were unfounded, but they couldn't help but swallow their saliva when they looked at the towering granary.

There are all yellow, orange and orange rice, at this time rice is a fine grain, not to mention the disaster, even in the peace period may not be able to eat.

"Okay, since you agree, then you have to obey my command, from now on, you must not make noise, you must not make trouble, whoever dares to disturb the people here privately, who dares to steal other people's things, I will not spare it. ”

As soon as he finished saying this, a middle-aged man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks stuffed something into his arms, and Li Xunlian's face flashed sharply, and he swept over.

"What did you take?"

"What do you want you to take care of?" The man was quite tough, probably standing at the end of the line all the time, and he hadn't seen Li Xunlianwei.

"Take it out!" Li Xunlian's tone changed.

"Take your mother, who are you, use you to manage Lao Tzu?"

Bang!

slapped out with one palm, directly slapping the former to death, and then Li Xunlian groped in his arms for a moment and found half a piece of cake.

When he turned his head to look to the side, he saw a little beggar cowering behind the basket, staring at him with a frightened expression.

"Did he snatch this from you?" asked Li Xunlian in a harmonious voice.

The little beggar nodded, and took a few steps back.

Li Xunlian looked at the cake a few times, and now the cake was quite dry and hard, and it had green hair, which should have been rancid a long time ago.

"It's not good to grab anything, it's okay to grab a piece of freshly baked cake, besides, people are beggars, and they are not better than you, I really don't understand what this person thinks. Li Xunlian glanced at the man who had died, thinking that this person was also very hungry, with yellow muscles in his face, but this could not be a reason to rob others of food.

"Remember, to rob anyone of anything, not even half a spoiled loaf of bread, is a capital offense to me. Li Xunlian shouted loudly, trying to let everyone hear clearly, so as to avoid similar incidents again.

He didn't want to kill people, but the refugees were no more than the army, let alone ordinary people, to put it mildly, they had become irrational animals, and if you want to stop them, you have to use some violent means.

At this moment, Li Xunlian suddenly understood some of the rumors he had heard in the past. For example, at a certain time and place, the imperial court sent troops to suppress refugees, and at a certain time and place, the imperial court sent troops to arrest the scholars in the street and put them in prison, and so on, originally Li Xunlian felt that the imperial court was making a big fuss, but now it seems that once people lose their minds, the only way to control them is to be tough, and reasoning is like nonsense, they don't understand something, but they don't treat it as a fart at all, and they don't want to listen to it.

"I'm going to say the ugly things in front, I have no obligation to do anything for you, the reason why I opened the warehouse to release grain is because I broke down the city gate and let you in, that's the trouble I caused, and I have to bear it. But if you think you can control me because of this, it is a big mistake, because I have never been a soft-hearted person, and when necessary, I will definitely take extreme repressive measures, and even if you beg for mercy and regret it, it will be useless!"

As soon as these words were spoken, those who had evil intentions immediately wilted, and they no longer dared to have any thoughts of doing anything wrong......

In fact, Li Xunlian knew that there were many people who were unconvinced, and there were no interests in front of them at the moment, and they were quite obedient, but when they arrived at the granary after a while, they saw the white rice, and they didn't necessarily have anything to do.

But let's talk about it at that time, you can't teach others a lesson before they commit a crime, although that can have a certain warning effect, but in addition to the person concerned, it will not be able to form an effective convincing effect on others, and it will even backfire, make people panic, and increase the burden.

Therefore, it can only be determined by the situation when we get to the place, and if there are really people who are disobedient, then they will have to make an example of the chickens and monkeys, and the face will cause a larger-scale turmoil.

It was not far from their current location to the granary, and there was no army to stop it during this period, which made Li Xunlian very curious, because this phenomenon was abnormal, according to normal circumstances, after he encountered the team of the Red Armor General, he only killed the Tianhe Xuanxiu and the Red Armor General, and the rest of the soldiers were all let go.

Not to mention their character, even if they are grateful for Li Xunlian's grace of not killing, they can't all be like this, there must be one or two to report the news.

And Qingming Pass is a border checkpoint bordering the west, with no less than 30,000 internal reserve troops, how can there be no movement at all, Taishou, as the local emperor, shouldn't he lead a large army to surround himself, but take the opportunity to stand up.

You must know that although Li Xunlian is strong, he is not strong enough to be the level of the big shopkeeper and Qingxiao Emperor, he can come and go freely with the 10,000-person team, if he enters a no-man's land, he may be able to fight half of it, but he is afraid that he will be so tired that he will collapse.

The number of people, after all, is an important dependence on the battlefield, no matter how powerful a single individual is, it is impossible to have a large army, the big shopkeeper and the Qingxiao Emperor are already the existence of the Kyushu 6 to the peak, and they dare not say that they can come and go freely in the face of a hundred thousand troops, this is the truth.

Therefore, Li Xunlian has reason to suspect that there must be some special situation in Qingming Pass, which makes it impossible for the city guards to come forward, but what is this situation, he can't think of it for a while.

In other words, if you don't find out for yourself, you'll never be able to figure it out.

After all, although this matter is suspicious, it lacks direct clues, and even if there are no fragmentary clues, there is no starting point for inference, and naturally there is no way to dig out the truth.

Of course, Qingmingguan Taishou has nothing to do with Li Xunlian very much, and even said that if Qingmingguan Taishou really had any accidents, it would be a good thing for him, otherwise he would lead an army of 30,000 to surround him in the city, and I don't know how much time he would have to waste It's a trivial matter, and if he doesn't get it, he will have to capsize in the gutter and bury his bones directly.

In this case, why did Li Xunlian think about this matter, of course, because of the people here.

From the time he entered the city until now, except for the little beggar who had been robbed of the bread just now, he had not seen any living people with the identity of a common man.

At first, he felt that this Qingming Pass was too deserted and not angry at all, and at that time he thought that he might be frightened by the momentum of the city, but now it seems that it is very likely that it has nothing to do with his appearance, but that there is another very serious thing in the city.

What is it that can make the people of the city shut up, or even if the city is empty, the Yin Fire and the Living Dead?

Unknown.

After watching around, Li Xunlian finally decided to deal with the matter at hand first, and then if it went well, he would try to investigate it as much as possible, it was best to be able to show it and solve it, if not, then he would not stay here for too long, and rushing back to Tianyan City, the center of the barbarians, was the most important thing.

From here to the granary, the people and horses of Qingming Pass did not appear, Li Xun Lianyue suspected that something big must have happened here, otherwise it is impossible for such a heavy place as the granary to be unguarded, as for what happened, or that sentence, it is secondary, and the matter in front of you should be done first.

Clearly distinguishing priorities is the most effective way to do things, and not being able to distinguish priorities will not only greatly reduce efficiency, but also often even make things mess up, which is really undesirable.

In fact, in addition to the fact that no one came to stop him, Li Xunlian also felt that something was not right, as if something was missing, which was obviously in his mind, but he couldn't figure out what it was.

He frowned and watched for a moment, but one of the refugees behind him woke up the dreamer with a word.

"Why don't you even have a guard here, is it abandoned?" This is a euphemism, in fact, this person's real intention is to remind Li Xunlian that no one takes care of this granary, even if they live here and use it day and night, there should be no problem.

Li Xunlian could naturally hear this at once, but he didn't say anything more to that person, because he knew that it was useless to say anything now, even if they were angry on the surface, after they left, they had to return here and take the grain in the granary for themselves.

After all, no one is taking care of it, the grain and grass are expensive in these troubled times, and the huge granary is full of white rice, which can be described as a high-quality fine food, which is simply a huge treasure for this group of refugees who are often hungry and unable to live.

Its allure is not much worse than that of gold all over the ground.

Because the refugees are cheap, they can't spend the gold in their arms, but they may bring death to themselves, compared to the food and rice are much safer, eat when they are hungry, as long as they ensure that everyone has a share, no one will come to rob them.

Speaking of which, it is necessary to explain the reason why the gold cannot be spent.

This is only for refugees and beggars, in troubled times, the government offices in various parts of Kyushu have existed in name only, and the Qingxiao country is considered good within the middle state, and there is almost no legal system in other places.

Just imagine, refugees and beggars are helpless, in today's environment is the lowest existence, can be described as ants, but anyone who has a little power, even a little ability, dare to kill casually, this is still for life and death. As for being deceived, teased, and oppressed, it is simply for everyone.

For example, if they take the gold to the inn to eat, not to mention the innkeeper, the little two alone will have bad intentions, and there is also a room full of guests, these years, people's hearts are lost, and seeing refugees or beggars holding gold, it is just like picking up gold on the avenue, who doesn't want to pick it up once.

Therefore, compared with grain and rice, gold is more likely to cost him his life.

Of course, if they really encounter the gold, there is no doubt that this group of people must be crazy to snatch it. It is said that the richer and richer people are, the more they love money, but in fact it is not, although rich and noble people love money, but there are few people who give away their lives for gold and silver treasures, because they have seen a lot of money and know the truth, no matter how much money there is, they must have a life to spend.

And the existence that can really die for money is precisely those poor and crazy refugees and beggars and the like, who dare not say in the peaceful and prosperous times, but in this situation, their eyes will definitely light up when they see gold, and they will be as excited as they are to see the elixir of immortality.

But then again, not all refugees and beggars are like that, it's just for the majority, not the whole picture.

Gossip is not mentioned, and there are no soldiers guarding the granary, so Li Xunlian will avoid the trouble of making a big move, he directly shook open a warehouse door, walked into it, and threw dozens of bags of grain and rice out in a row.

The refugees suddenly snatched wildly, Li Xunlian saw this and flashed out of the granary to stop drinking, seeing that it was really not possible, and killed the most ferocious guy who snatched again, which calmed down the refugees.

"No robbery, everyone has a share. ”

There is no need to mention the matter of distributing food, about half an hour later, everything was dealt with, Li Xunlian wanted to leave directly, but after thinking about it, he didn't leave, but returned to the place where he met the Red Armor General.

He rummaged here for a while, and the red-armored general lived up to his expectations, with a Sumeru ring on his finger.

Li Xunlian took off the Sumeru ring, returned to the granary, and filled more than 100 bags of grain and rice into it, and then reflexively went out of the city.

Out of the city, he immediately went to the forest agreed with the little girl, and the little girl really waited there, and after meeting, Li Xunlian didn't say much, and directly helped her check her body.

The little girl couldn't understand what Li Xunlian was doing, and her face was a little ugly, thinking that she had met those rumored guys with dirty habits, so she wondered how to resist in her heart.

Whether he killed himself by biting his tongue, or died by hitting a rock.
