Danfang has been taken to the Knife Gate by carrier pigeons, and if you want to recover Danfang, you can only go to the Knife Gate.

The Evil Knife Gate is located in the east of Liuyun City, in the territory of Donglu Prefecture.

Donglu Prefecture is a large state facing the sea in the east of the Kyushu mainland, with a vast territory and a large population.

However, last year, Donglu Prefecture suffered a major drought.

The reason for the great drought is that there are droughts in Donglu Prefecture.

As soon as the drought comes out, the red land is thousands of miles.

Later, several major sects joined forces to kill the drought.

However, the drought has appeared, and a large number of seedlings in Donglu Prefecture have died, and the people have not harvested their grains.

Ye Xuan came all the way and saw that the ground was full of hunger, the disaster was very serious, and many people were digging grass roots to satisfy their hunger.

In the afternoon of this day, Ye Xuan came to a village, dismounted to get water, and saw a thin child leaning against the eaves, his eyes glazed, obviously hungry and delirious.

Ye Xuan couldn't bear it, so he took out a large cake, broke off a piece and handed it to him.

The thin child stretched out his hand to take it, and when he saw that Ye Xuan had food in his hand, they all gathered around.

"Noble, give me something to eat. Our family has been without food for three months......"

A group of ragged people gathered around, wailing and pleading, their eyes staring at the big cake in Ye Xuan's hand.

Ye Xuan had no choice but to hand them the flatbread.

The crowd of people rushed up together to fight for the flatbread, tearing it into countless pieces in the blink of an eye.

What everyone can compete for is not enough to even plug the gaps between their teeth.

Ye Xuan couldn't stand it anymore, so he took out all the food in the storage ring and distributed it to these people, and finally left a piece of cake and handed it to the thin child.

The child was dark and thin, and because he was too thin, his head appeared to be very large, and when he took the flatbread, he began to eat it with great gusto.

The child's mother knelt down and kowtowed, and said gratefully, "Thank you...... Thank you very much......"

Ye Xuan left all the food and silver on his body, and then continued to hurry, and came to Yuelu County in the evening.

The county seat of Yuelu is the only way to the Sword Gate.

The closer it is to Yuelu County, the more serious the disaster.

Along the way, I didn't see the government's disaster relief measures, which is really puzzling.

Ye Xuan came to the city gate of Yuelu County and saw a large group of disaster victims surrounding the city gate.

I thought to myself, it should be the government giving porridge for disaster relief.

However, when I rode over and looked over, I found that it was a shed erected by a team of warriors.

In the shed, there were piles of grain, bags piled higher than people.

A warrior dressed in the costume of the Sword Gate sat behind the long table, looking at the victims who had gathered around him with an indifferent expression.

"My lord, it's okay, give the little one a little rice. One of the victims pleaded.

"If you sell the field to me, you will have rice and grain, and if you don't have a field, you can go away!" the disciple of the Evil Knife Sect kicked the victims away and scolded impatiently.

The victim got up again and knelt down in front of the disciple of the Evil Sword Sect, kowtowed and begged, "My lord, you can do it." All of our family's fields have been sold to the Devil's Gate, and the whole family has also been sold to the Devil's Gate, so please give me some rations. The child hasn't eaten a grain of rice in half a month......"

"The fields have been sold out, and you still want rice, hurry up!" the disciple of the Sword Sect scolded impatiently.

"But our whole family has sold themselves to the Knife Gate, and we will definitely farm for the eldest master in the coming year...... Please......" the victim pleaded.

"If you have land, you're afraid that no one will plant it, before I do it, get out of here!" the disciple of the Evil Sword Sect scolded.

After scolding, he looked up at the victims and shouted: "Have you exchanged your fields for rice and grain?"

That's when it happened.

A cry came from the crowd of victims: "Dog, dog...... In charge, the child is hungry and faint, you should think of a way......"

The man of this family looked at the hungry and faint child, struggled to walk to the shed of the Evil Sword Gate, took out a title deed from his arms, and handed it to the disciples of the Evil Sword Gate with trembling hands.

"My lord, give me some food. ”

The disciple of the Sword Sect glanced at it, then put away the title deed, then threw out a deed of sale, and said, "Press the handprint." ”

The man looked at the deed of sale, gritted his teeth and pressed his handprint on it.

"Bring rice. The Evil Sword Sect disciple beckoned back.

The men of the Sword Gate brought out a bucket of rice and put it on the ground.

Rice is measured in wooden barrels, and a bucket is a bucket, about twelve catties.

When the man saw the rice, he hurriedly took out the sack and prepared to go up to load the rice.

The disciple of the Sword Sect suddenly stood up and said, "Wait a minute, your family's field is too thin to be worth a fight. As he spoke, he kicked the barrel.

The barrel was kicked, and when it shook from side to side, a small half of rice spilled out of the barrel.

This is a common method used by government officials to withhold food, which is called kicking and fighting.

If you step down, you can spill half of it.

The man hurriedly pounced on him and said with tears in his eyes: "My lord, my family's fields are all fertile fields!

"Load up the rice and get out quickly! Lao Tzu said that thin is thin!" the disciple of the Evil Sword Sect scolded impatiently.

When Ye Xuan saw this scene, he really had a long insight.

I didn't go to see the field at all, so I said that it was a thin field, and when I stepped down, a bucket turned into a half-bucket.

A bucket of grain is about 12 catties, the yield per mu of fields in Donglu Prefecture is about 200 catties, and the annual grain yield of 10 acres of fields is less than 2,000 catties.

Shadaomen actually only used 12 catties of grain to buy a field with an annual output of 2,000 catties of grain.

This is simply a robbery, and the people are required to sign a deed of sale to farm for them.

Originally, one bucket of rice bought ten acres of land, which was already harsh enough, and it was still deducted from rice.

What's even more amazing is that the Evil Knife Gate asked these victims to sign a deed of sale and sell themselves to farm, but they didn't care whether these people who sold themselves into slavery lived or died.

Ye Xuan was originally going to find the bad luck of the Evil Knife Gate, and he also killed the young master of the Evil Knife Gate named Qi Liancheng half a year ago.

If you don't do it, you don't stop it.

Ye Xuan squeezed through the crowd and walked over and stood in front of the disciples of the Sword Sect.

The disciple of the Evil Sword Sect glanced at Ye Xuan, and saw that Ye Xuan did not look like a disaster victim, so he drove away: "What are you looking at? Don't feel uncomfortable, otherwise you will look good!"

"I also want to change some food, is it okay?" Ye Xuan asked with a calm expression.

The disciple of the Evil Sword Sect replied, "Okay! ”

"There are no fields. ”

"If you don't have a field, you still dare to come to entertain Lao Tzu, do you want to find death?" the disciple of the Demon Sword Sect immediately scolded.

Ye Xuan slapped the dragon pattern steel sword on the table with a "snap" and asked, "Exchange this sword!"

The disciple of the Sword Sect glanced at the dragon-patterned steel sword, and from the hilt, he knew that this sword must be worth a lot of money.

He reached over and pulled out the dragon-patterned steel sword to check: "This sword...... This sword!"

His eyes widened suddenly, and he recognized that this sword was the one used by Qi Liancheng, the young master of the Sword Sect: "You, you, you, you, you......"

"How many meters can this sword be exchanged?" Ye Xuan asked with a smile.

This Evil Sword Sect disciple immediately took a step back and shouted, "Come on, take him down quickly!"

As soon as the shouts fell, the four disciples of the Evil Sword Sect immediately pulled out their swords and pounced on them, slashing at Ye Xuan's head.

These disciples of the Evil Sword Sect who were sent out to oppress the people had an unbelievably low level of cultivation.

Ye Xuan drew his sword, took out his sword, and put away his sword, and the three actions were done in one go.

The sword flashed.

The four disciples of the Evil Sword Sect died violently in an instant.

"Kill, kill!" the surrounding victims immediately cried out in terror.

Ye Xuan immediately shouted: "Hurry up and grab the food!"

The surrounding victims were all stunned for a moment, and then they all rushed to the grain bags in the shed, picked them up and ran.

When the soldiers defending the city saw the commotion on this side, they immediately rushed up and shouted at it.

But where can they control these hungry and crazy victims, the food in the shed was robbed in the blink of an eye, and the victims were left alone.

Ye Xuan also took advantage of the chaos to withdraw from the crowd and enter Yuelu County.

The inside and outside of Yuelu County are like two worlds, there is hunger everywhere outside the city, but there is no disaster victim in the city.

I can also know with my toes that the reason why there are no victims in the city is not that the officials here are clear, but that all the victims have been driven out.
