Chapter 714: Settle in
As long as he thought that Qin Yining might be as painful as these women, the anger in Xiao Xiao's heart churned. Turning around and glaring angrily at the more than 1,000 captives who were firmly trapped behind the people, he let out a deep breath of turbidity, and only said one word: "Kill." ”
Huzi immediately understood and beckoned the Pingnan army to go towards the prisoners.
When those mountain bandits saw the murderous arrival of the Pingnan army, they were all frightened, and they kowtowed and begged for mercy.
"Spare your life, your ancestors, we have surrendered!"
"Yes, we will change our past mistakes in the future, and we will never be mountain bandits again, and the world is not good, we have no choice but to go up the mountain and become a beard, we really don't have a heart!"
"Please spare your life, please spare your life, please spare your life!"
……
Xiao Xiao looked back and said coldly: "If this king lets you go, what will happen to the ordinary people who have been harmed by you?" You are pitiful, you have a reason to be a bandit and harm others?
"You are men, but you rely on your own strength, bully the weak, and oppress the women of good families, do you have no mothers and sisters in your family? Don't have a daughter-in-law or daughter? You women who abuse other people's families have never thought that you are worthy of your conscience!
"This king is most disgusted with people like you, who have the ability to resist foreign enemies! Go to the north to fight the Tartars! has grown a lot of strength, but it is used to bully women! You people deserve to die! ”
Speaking of this, Xiao Xiao said awe-inspiringly: "Kill!" These bandits are heinous and leave no one behind! ”
"Yes!" For the first time, the remaining 900-odd Pingnan Army was so willing to obey Xiao Xiao.
Although they were bribed to make trouble for the owl, but in this battle, they really saw the ability of the owl, and such a clean and neat command was really something they had never seen before.
What's more, the means of dealing with bandits and saving the people also made them happy and convinced, and regardless of whether they were on the opposite side in the past, but now just looking at the people is worthy of admiration.
They are soldiers, and the ones they look down on the most are those who rely on their strength to do evil, and when they are caught, they have the most pitiful and forced face, just like the prince said, if you have the ability, you will go into battle to kill the enemy, and what kind of ability is it to bully women, the elderly and children!.
For a time, the Canglong Mountain was filled with blood, and the mountain bandits' begging for mercy and screams were all together.
The women who were about to commit suicide looked at this scene that seemed to be purgatory on earth, and they were all stunned.
They had never seen so many people killed in one breath in their lives, and they still killed them in the blink of an eye, and the strong smell of blood was so strong that it made people want to be disgusted.
But although they were afraid, they were more happy to get revenge.
Some women were crying, some were crying and laughing, and some were going to commit suicide.
"Even if you are homeless, can't you be stronger? Live for yourself? This king promises that after you go out, I will arrange work for you to do, and promise that no one will bully you, so that you can eat with one hand, since you have a life to survive in such a Longtan tiger's den, can't you cherish your life? This king will not go around proclaiming where you are from, but only if you are exiles to settle down, and you believe me! ”
Xiao Xiao eagerly appeased everyone, and there were many kind-hearted people in the remaining Pingnan army, who also followed the persuasion, they were all clumsy rough men, and they would not speak in a nice manner, they only persuaded them with the most sincerity.
"Big sister, you're still young, why do you want to die for someone else's mouth?"
"Little girl, look at how sorry it would be if you died, wouldn't your father and mother be in pain if they knew?"
……
Surrounded by such kindness, the women finally couldn't help but indulge their emotions and cry, but everyone let go of the idea of looking for a short time.
Listening to the sad cry that was continuous, he felt uncomfortable in the end.
He turned around and instructed Huzi: "You go down the mountain first to find the princess, and ask her if there is any place on her village to accept these women temporarily." If the princess asks, tell the truth. ”
"Yes, I'll go." Huzi listened to the order and immediately rushed down the mountain.
He ordered people to count the treasures and valuable items in the Canglong Mountain bandit village, and the few who knew how to read and write to register the names, ages, and places of origin of the rescued people, so as to facilitate management.
He was not in a hurry to take people down the mountain now, because nearly 500 of the 700 people rescued were women, and even if he brought them back to the barracks, there would be no place to put them. It's better to wait for news here.
*
Qin Yining was holding Brother Han here.
Xu is the beginning of spring, the child has been infected with a little wind and cold for the past two days, Qin Yining is distressed, even if the rock candy repeatedly promised that the child will be fine, she is still worried that she has not slept all night. At this time, Brother Han and Brother Zhao both took medicine. Brother Zhao was coaxed by rock candy, Qin Yining was actually coaxing Brother Han, who was more seriously ill, the two children had just fallen asleep, and the warm curtain in front of the door was lifted. Jiyun walked in quietly, curtsied, and pointed outside.
Qin Yining knew what was going on, hugged the swaddling clothes and hummed a small tune in a low voice, put the child into the cradle, and whispered to the nurse to take good care of it, and then tiptoed out of the warm pavilion.
When he arrived at the bottom of the corridor, Qin Yining pressed the cloud shoulders on his shoulders and said in a low voice, "What's wrong?" ”
"Princess, Huzi is back, saying that the prince has something to tell you."
Qin Yining nodded and immediately went to see Huzi.
The soft armor on Huzi's body is dark color, but there is no dried blood, but the hair is scattered, and there is a faint smell of blood on his body, so he looks like he has experienced a vicious battle.
Qin Yining stepped forward worriedly and said anxiously, "What's wrong?" ”
Huzi hurriedly saluted and explained with a smile: "Don't worry, princess, these are the blood of those bandits, the prince is not injured, and I am not injured." Today, the prince took us to suppress the bandits. ”
"Bandits?" When Qin Yining heard about the bandits now, he subconsciously thought that it was the plan they had discussed before.
But after thinking about it, the Sitong didn't have so many guards, so it wouldn't let Huzi, who often followed Xiao Xiao, go into battle to kill the enemy, and get bloodstained, so they should really go to suppress the bandits.
Qin Yining asked carefully about today's experience.
Huzi told the Pingnan Army how the camp was chaotic and how the owl arranged it, and finally talked about the women who had nowhere to go and wanted to commit suicide.
The prince easily persuaded them, but there were still many women who couldn't think about it and quickly sought death. It's really pitiful, the camp is full of old men, and there is no way to take these women back, so the prince came to beg the princess to see if there is any way to settle them, do you have any work in the Zhuangzi, let them do it first, so as to give them a way to live. ”
Qin Yining listened to Huzi's words, she could think of the tragic scene at that time, and she was already moved with compassion, Mo said that she really had a place to settle these people, even if she didn't, she had to find a way to come out.
Qin Yining said: "Don't worry, there is a lot of farm work to be done in Zhuangzi, and I just discussed with Zhong Da's shopkeeper to set up a silk factory and a weaving factory, planting mulberry and silkworm weaving, and women are needed to work." Even if there is no such thing, I will go and find other people, and if these women want to, they will all come to me. ”
When Huzi heard this, he was immediately overjoyed, "Princess, you are really a good person!" ”
Qin Yining said, "I'll go back and tell the prince, the prince must be very happy." Don't look at the prince killing those bandits without blinking, but what the prince doesn't like the most is to let innocent people die in vain. ”
Qin Yining laughed, and said with crooked eyebrows: "I know that he is the most kind-hearted and soft-hearted person. ”
What's more, Xiao Xiao is a person who can think from a woman's point of view, and he doesn't have so many stereotypes in his heart, and he looks at women so cheaply.
This can be seen when Qin Yining herself was kidnapped and sent to Tatar, and Xiao Xiao took the risk of resisting the decree to find her, and never doubted her at all.
Huzi listened to Qin Yining praising himself as Prince An, he was even happier than anything else, he saluted Qin Yining happily, asked about the situation at home, and hurriedly walked outside.
Qin Yining ordered someone to find the shopkeeper of Zhong Da to arrange the settlement of those women.
"Princess, now we have not fully grasped the matter of setting up the factory, and the site of the factory has not been selected, I am afraid that we still have to settle people in Zhuangzi first."
"I think so too, and I can let them learn first during this time." Qin Yining said with a smile.
The shopkeeper Zhong Da said with some concern: "Princess, I mean, if these weak women are arranged to go to Zhuangzi, I am afraid that it will cause dissatisfaction in the hearts of many people, especially the shopkeeper Xia Da. You have just been exempted from the rent of those tenants on the Zhuangzi, and the shopkeeper of Xia Da is afraid that this son is jumping to his feet. ”
Qin Yining laughed and said, "I know what you mean, but let's do our thing, we don't need to pay attention to what others think, if he is dissatisfied, just come to me directly." ”
Seeing Qin Yining smiling so calmly and happily, Shopkeeper Zhong also felt bright in his heart, so he also laughed.
The shopkeeper Zhong took the people to implement the arrangements for the women's food and accommodation.
When Huzi returned to Canglong Mountain, he saw dozens of carriages winding along the mountain road, each with gold and silver treasures, porcelain and silk, and even furniture made of red sandalwood and huanghuali.
Huzi smacked his tongue: "My good boy, this group of bandits can be looted, where did they get so many valuable things!" ”
"Aren't they all robbed? They have looted all the houses around here. Some soldiers took a sip, and they didn't know whether they despised these mountain bandits, or were jealous that they could make a fortune.
Xiao Xiao listened to Huzi's reply, and remembered Qin Yining's confident appearance when he talked about settling these women without pressure, and his smile softened even more.
His wife has always been a smart and capable person.
With her at home to help her run the house, he can work hard outside with peace of mind.
And when the soldiers were divided into two ways, some escorted the rescued people to Zhuangzi for resettlement, and some escorted the treasure back to the barracks, but there was silence in the study of the outer courtyard of Governor Yang's mansion.
