Chapter 021: King Qi Disaster Relief

The next day, Yang Zhixian escorted more than 20 physically strong prisoners in the prison to Wang Qifang's treasure ship.

"Lady housekeeper, these are twenty-seven people, they are all extremely vicious bandits, they will do two punches and kicks, when they are allowed to work, this shackle cannot be removed."

After sending Wang Qifang away yesterday, Yang Zhixian ordered people to step around the prison, only to find out that there were so 20 people who looked quite energetic, and the rest of the people were either thin or sick, not to mention doing heavy work, I am afraid it would take some effort to stand.

"Well, Yang Zhixian bothered."

Amethyst was wearing a rain-soaked skirt, holding a woman's bun, and her speech and demeanor were all the style of a housekeeper's lady.

She took the roster, counted the number of people, gave a blessing to Yang Zhixian, and returned to Peach Blossom Island with the first batch of prisoners.

When she came to Peach Blossom Island, Wang Qifang ordered someone to count the information of these people in detail, including their names, ages, places of origin, specialties, and what crimes they had committed, all of which were registered one by one.

After reading the information of these people, Wang Qifang knew that Yang Zhixian really did not lie, these people were either bandits or pirates, with ruthless methods, murderous personalities, and many crimes.

"Fresh wind, clear rain, take off the shackles for them."

Wang Qifang pondered for a moment, then pointed to the shackles on the prisoner's hands and commanded.

"Yes, ma'am!"

Qingfeng was not ambiguous, came to a tall man who was emaciated, did not look at the yin owl in the eyes of the tall man at all, stretched out his white hands, luckily dantian, and pulled hard, only to hear a 'click', and the iron chain with two fingers thick on the tall man's hand was broken at once.

Twenty-seven prisoners, seeing this situation, were all taken aback - good kung fu!

You must know that although they are all bandits, they can also punch and kick a few times, but they are all wild people who usually fight, and they are not authentic martial arts at all. Even the most powerful of them all, the tall boss, could not have torn such a thick iron chain with his hands.

Qingyu also followed closely behind and tore off the shackles of the prisoner with his hands.

"Click!" "Sting!" "Bang dang!"

On the pier of Peach Blossom Island, except for the sound of waves not far away, there is only the monotonous sound of squeezing and tearing metal.

A quarter of an hour later, the shackles of the twenty-seven bandits were all torn, and they all looked at the two petite women with awe, and their hearts were even more impressed—their world was simple, the weak eat the strong, and the strong feared the stronger.

After being silent for a long time, a man of about thirty walked out of the prisoners, he touched the broken iron ring on his hand, hugged his fists and said, "In Xia Gaoyuan, it is the boss of this group, dare to ask these two are the chivalrous men of the Chivalry League?" ”

"No, they are just the high-ranking apprentices of chivalry, the attendants of Mrs. Ben." Wang Qifang shook her head and pointed to Lei Ting and Lei Jun standing behind her, "These two are chivalrous and Mrs. Ben's guards. In addition, all ten-year-old men on my Peach Blossom Island practice martial arts with two chivalrous men, and they can also do kung fu with a few fists and feet. ”

"I understand, ma'am, if you have any orders, just say it!"

Boss Gao deserves to be the leader of this group, and he quickly understood the meaning of Wang Qifang's words - there are many masters on the island, and everyone is a soldier, so they had better be obedient and obedient, otherwise they will bear the consequences.

"Happy, Mrs. Ben is a person who appreciates straightforward personality," Wang Qifang clapped her hands, and a few little guys of five catties came over with a big burden and spread it out in front of everyone, "Here are some thickened coarse cloth clothes and pants, you can change them first." ”

"What do you mean, ma'am?"

Boss Gao glanced at the contents of the open baggage, all of which were gray-brown shorts, the fabric was not new, but it was not old, there were no patches, and it was clean.

"This is my Peach Blossom Island, not the county prison. As for you, you are not criminals, but my servants. Wang Qifang swept over the people with different expressions, and said lightly, "Three meals a day, take care of your fill." Ten wages per day, settled after completion. In addition, if you behave well, Mrs. Ben can find a way to give you back your freedom. ”

"What? Ma'am, are you serious? You know, these people are not lightly offended, and they will be exiled according to the law. ”

Boss Gao's eyes widened, half skeptical, half expectant asked.

"Of course it's true, it's not easy for Mrs. Ben to seal a product, and reach out to catch a few prisoners? However, Mrs. Ben also has conditions, that is, work hard, be obedient, and don't have any nonsense...... I can save you, or I can make you disappear silently. ”

Wang Qifang's tone became lighter and lighter, and the last threatening words were even lighter than a whisper, but listening to the ears of those criminals, it shook in their hearts like thunder, and they couldn't help but shiver, and they were also very sure that Madame's words were not a joke.

"Madame, don't worry, don't you just work hard, as long as you are full, we can do everything."

The tall man who was the first to be shackled off patted his bony chest and promised proudly. Damn, he has long had enough of the spoiled rice with clear soup and little water.

"Very well, as long as you work hard, Mrs. Ben will never treat you badly. Of course, you will definitely be able to eat well. ”

"Yes, ma'am, we believe you!"

Boss Gao glanced at each other with a few people around him, and then nodded vigorously.

In this way, the first batch of prisoners were divided into two groups by Wang Qifang and joined the ranks of workers who expanded Peach Blossom Island.

Two days later, Yang Zhixian sent another group of people, whose physical condition was much better than that of the first batch of people, but their eyes were a little evasive, and they were not honest people at first glance.

"Madam, these are all ruffians from the West Sea, they should have been just captured by Yang Zhixian."

Amethyst often follows the treasure ship to the West Sea, and has a better understanding of the situation in the county, "Yang Zhixian has also done a good thing, after he tossed it like this, all the gangsters in the West Sea have been arrested, and the people in the county town have praised him, saying that he is the master of the blue sky." ”

"Well, this can be regarded as a crooked beating," Wang Qifang also shook his head with a smile, and after laughing, he ordered: "These people are different from the previous group of people, they are all treacherous villains, you explain to Wang Liang, you have to separate them all and break them into other groups, and you should pay more attention to them at ordinary times, don't let them play any tricks." ”

"Yes, ma'am!"

A few days later, Yang Zhixian sent the third batch of 'human prisoners', these people were yellow-skinned, ragged, and spoke with different accents.

"Madam, these are all refugees, there are people from Wei County, there are people from Jeju, and there are people from Shang County." Amethyst took the roster, verified the information clearly, and reported to Wang Qifang.

"Refugees?" Wang Qifang took a look, she took the roster, looked at the numbers on it, gasped, and asked, "Three hundred and forty-one?" All refugees? Why so many? ”

It's only the end of April, and it's not yet the day of the summer tax, so it's impossible to form so many refugees.

"That's right," Amethyst pondered for a moment and said, "Madame doesn't know yet, there is a rumor circulating in Qidi right now. At first, it was said that there was a great drought in Qidi because someone had blasphemed the Dragon King, causing the Dragon Lord to be condemned......"

When Wang Qifang heard this, she raised her eyebrows lightly, "En? Is there such a thing? ”

"Well, however, this rumor quickly disappeared, and then someone said that it was not that he offended the Dragon King, but that he was mediocre today, and the court ** offended the gods."

"Today?" When Wang Qifang heard this, her face sank, "Do you know where the rumor came out?" "It can't be Li Jingtian's doing, right?

"I don't know," Amethyst shook her head, adding, "Still, there's someone who is suspicious. ”

"Who? Wait, it won't be the King of Qi. ”

Wang Qifang waved her hand, thought about it, and raised her index finger to guess.

"Mrs. Hui, it is the King of Qi." Amethyst knew that her master had always been smart, and looked at Wang Qifang with admiration, and said: "According to the refugees sent by Yang Zhi County, in Jeju, there is also a rumor that the king of Qi is benevolent and righteous, loves the people like a son, and in order to ask for rain for the people of Qi, he specially invited the worldly master Wuchen to go to the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea to ask for the dragon king——"

"Heh~~ It's really good at tearing."

Wang Qifang interrupted Amethyst's words with a sneer, and said secretly in her heart, Hey, that Wuchen did go to the sea for a walk, and the Dragon King didn't know if he saw it, but he must have seen a lot of sea snakes.

Amethyst herself felt funny, and echoed: "It's not, why go to the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea, that old Taoist priest is obviously working as a coolie on our island." ”

"According to this, these rumors, as well as those who incite people to flee, are the king of Qi?"

"That's right, the refugees said that in Jeju, rumors about the drought were rife, and the price of grain in the county was even more than one day a day. Seeing this tense situation every day, the ears of the people were filled with rumors of the death of the drought, and even if the conditions at home were okay, they were so frightened that they ran out with the crowd. In Jeju now, except for some old and sick, a very small number of people who do not believe in rumors, the officials of the government, and the entire Qi Palace, most of the people have come out to flee. ”

"This King of Qi is obviously deliberately creating panic and taking the opportunity to make trouble. He made the provincial capital of Qi land ten rooms and nine empty, and only his Qi Wangfu remained. And the court officials who were forced to stay behind were probably also frightened, let alone appeasing the people, and their own positions were disrupted by the King of Qi. ”

Wang Qifang stood up and walked slowly around the room, thinking about all kinds of possibilities in her mind.

"By the way, does King Qi have any other unusual behaviors?"

Thinking of a situation, Wang Qifang turned around and asked.

"Oh, by the way, when Wang Liang went to Jeju to ask for a debt, he accidentally heard someone report the situation to the martial housekeeper, but unfortunately he was a little far away, and he only faintly heard something 'food transfer' and 'disaster relief'." Amethyst guessed, "Madam, do you say, does King Qi want disaster relief?" But this drought has not yet happened, so what disaster is he, what disaster is he? ”

Besides, this chaos that seems to be a drought is clearly created by King Qi, and he doesn't want to take the opportunity to make the chaos even more chaotic, which disaster can he help?

"It's really vicious." Wang Qifang thought of it, she let out a long sigh, and said, "The situation is not good, I want to write a letter to the third princess." In addition, you ask Wang Liang to go to the county government and tell Yang Zhixian that I still need people here, let him have as many men as he wants, and send as many men as he wants. The old and weak, women and children should not be idle, let him arrange for these people to dig the soil, and all of them will be counted as wages. ”
