Chapter 374: My Territory
For the people who fled the famine, there is nothing more important than having food rations withheld. Hearing that three meals were going to be reduced to one, and that they could only drink some thin porridge and multigrain steamed buns, everyone made a fuss as if they had been taken away from their lives.
Along the way, they traveled through many states and counties, eating and sleeping in the open air, hungry and full. Only after arriving in Hongzhou, the food here is better than when they were at home, although they are not starving to death at home, but where can they eat meaty buns every day like this.
People who live a bad life on weekdays and lose a lot of weight on the road have been in Hongzhou for a month, and everyone has gained weight. If they hadn't come out to escape the famine, they wouldn't have known that Hongzhou, which doesn't look prosperous, would be able to let them have a good year.
Now if the grain is withheld and you can't eat meat, how will you live this life!
Skillfully put the bun in his arms, raised his fist to ask for food, and the excited person threw the bitten or unbitten bun in his hand to the dog officer in the soup kitchen.
"Smash them! We want food, we want food, we want a place to live! We're going to have a good life! The more the victims shouted, the more they became emotional, from asking for food to their houses.
The officials were frightened, and one of them hurriedly said, "I'll go and tell your lord!" Then he ran away.
Zhuang Rou stood there and looked at them, her gaze sweeping over them. And the officials were loudly comforting the crowd, trying to calm down the commotion.
But without Zhuang Rou opening his mouth and agreeing to send the disaster relief rations again, the people's anger could not be calmed down at all.
Seeing that the situation was getting worse and worse, some officials had to quickly say: "My lord, hurry up and make a decision, if you really want to make trouble, we can't stop it at all!" ”
"Before the mountains and rivers are exhausted, the people can't get up, so rest assured." Zhuang Rou said calmly, in the face of everyone's rising emotions, she didn't panic, but she was so frightened that the helpers threw down the pot and ran away.
At this time, a black shadow suddenly flew towards a servant, and Zhuang Rou kicked him away. The thing slammed into the board, shattering several porcelain bowls, splashing porcelain pieces everywhere and hitting people.
If you look closely, it is a fist-sized stone, and if it hits a person's head, it will break the head and bleed.
Here's your chance!
Zhuang Rou grabbed the crossbow arrow and shot it in the direction where the stone flew just now. I heard a stout man in the crowd screaming and being hit by an arrow in his left shoulder. In his right hand, he clutched a fist-sized stone, which had not yet been thrown.
Before they could think of anything, an arrow flew again, piercing his right wrist where he was holding the stone. The stone fell to the ground, and with it the strong man.
"Assault tolerance, gather a crowd of troublemakers, kill." Zhuang Rou walked out of the shed with crossbow arrows, and the homeless people who were still making a fierce noise about food and housing just now all went out. They all stepped back in fear and made a way.
The official was also taken aback, this Sister Zhuang was too moody, she said she would do it!
The man was still screaming, Zhuang Rou walked in front of him with a calm expression, and none of the onlookers dared to say anything, and even the ignorant children were covered by the elders.
"I saw it just now, you shouted the loudest in the crowd to kill the dog officer, and it seems that you were the first to shout and beat. There is a lot of dirt and weeds on this ground, but there are few stones, but there are many stones like this. Zhuang Rou looked at him and opened his mouth.
"Judging from all indications, you should deliberately want to arouse public anger and storm the government. Take the opportunity to break into the city and let your accomplices go in and burn and loot. In the end, let these innocent homeless people who left their hometowns to beg for a way to survive just because they had no food to eat will bear the black pot for you. ”

The corners of her mouth curled and she laughed, "Hongzhou doesn't have much silver, and you also know that if it weren't for the great drought, Hongzhou would not be as rich as your hometown." Lord Zhizhou is the prince of the imperial county, and he has never encountered such a thing since he was a child, so he naturally rescued the victims according to his ideas. ”
"It's not good for him to do this, the grain is eaten in half a month, and there is no grass in the winter, I want to know if you want to go to the capital to beg for food?" Zhuang Rou smiled and swept her gaze over everyone, "I'm afraid that among you as a homeless person, I don't have as many days as me, I know better than you what you have to think about." ”
Suddenly, she smiled, raised her crossbow and shot an arrow into the strong man's throat, killing him directly.
Everyone was in an uproar, thinking that she was just persuading everyone to leave, but they didn't expect to take someone's life. A woman also let out an exclamation, how can this murder be like cutting vegetables, so calm and free, could it be a ghost!
Zhuang Rou squinted her eyes and stared at everyone with murderous intent, "This is my territory, whoever wants to make trouble here, I will let him not see the sun tomorrow." Remember for me that you are homeless people, and those who have stuttered will survive the drought next year and be able to return to their hometowns. ”
"In my eyes, you are not considered homeless, and there is no homeless person who will let the meat buns fall to the ground and ignore them. This is the last meal of the day, and I will continue to take all the porridge and go back, and come back tomorrow. After she finished speaking, no one left, and everyone watched.
Zhuang Rou no longer threatened these homeless people, and directly bent down to grab the crossbow arrow shot at the strong man, stepped on him with one foot, and pulled out the arrow with a flutter. The blood-stained arrow was wiped clean by her on the strong man's clothes before she went to pull out another one.
After the three arrows were wiped clean, she looked up at the onlookers, tilted her head and asked, "What's the matter, there is something to do with this official?" Want to try out the power of these arrows? ”
As soon as the words fell, the onlookers were like seeing ghosts, and they immediately dispersed.
Zhuang Rou gritted her teeth secretly, what the hell was the little county king doing, he was so rescued, and he had to scold him when he went back. This is completely harming people, if they hadn't come back by themselves, these victims would have died long ago in Layue!
How much silver is in the yamen, she feels that Chu Xia knows much better than herself, and she dares to do such a mess, can she collect her luggage and flee back to the capital when she can't save it!
She walked back into the shed, where the body of the strong man was thrown as a threat, a constant reminder to the homeless. Now they are the people they hate in every county, don't let go of their lives but want to die.
The queue to receive the porridge and steamed buns was even more neat than before, no one spoke anymore, and they all obediently went back with the steamed buns and thick porridge, which was probably the only meal they had the best before the beginning of spring.
In the crowd in the distance, two people watched the scene through the crowd under the cover of other people, and chatted very casually.
"Oh, after she came back from the capital, her evil spirit was much heavier than before, and it seems that she has encountered a lot of things." Luo Yunfan gently patted the fan in his palm and smiled.
Hua Yulou wrinkled her nose and said: "She is ruthless, she directly deducted the food, and killed people to show the public, she really has no kindness at all." ”
Luo Yunfan smiled slightly, "It's not just right, the king of Yinde County provides for the homeless people, and we have no chance to take advantage of it." Now that she's back, it's been a great help to make the homeless people hate them in a moment's time. ”
"Really? But I don't want to see her at all, this woman is poisonous, and whoever touches it is unlucky. Hua Yulou said noncommittally, anyway, all the women in this world are dead, and he won't want to get close to her.
