Cheng Yanluo had a smile on his face.

But in the eyes of those families, this smile is chilling.

"I think you should be willing to give me food so that I can protect you."

Cheng Yanluo smiled and seemed to be very talkative.

However, the soldier's sword behind her was unsheathed.

And she is holding a long whip in her hand, and when the whip is thrown out, the sound of breaking the air can frighten people to death.

Especially as soon as she threw out the whip, a tree with a thick bowl mouth was knocked down by her, which made people take another breath of cold air.

There was a long silence.

Suddenly, a person stood up: "General Cheng, we all have a family in our own home, we shouldn't need a general, besides, how many people does the general have......"

Before the words fell, Cheng Yanluo's whip had already wrapped around the man.

With a shake of her right hand, she dragged the man to her, and with another flick, she threw it among the soldiers behind her: "Tie up." ”

Immediately several men came forward and tied the man with thick hemp ropes.

Cheng Yanluo put away the whip and said with a smile: "Everyone here doesn't know me very well, let me introduce it, when I was in Chang'an, people gave the nickname Ghost Sorrow, that is, His Majesty is also called like this today, in Chang'an for so many years, no one has been able to refute my words and be safe, although I am not that unreasonable, but I don't like to hear someone refute me, what I say, you just do it, if you are not happy, my whip will also teach him to be willing." ”

Because there was a bird in front of them, these people behind were too frightened to move.

Cheng Yanluo asked again: "How?" Are you willing to give food? ”

An old man trembled and asked slightly, "I don't know how much you want us to pay?" ”

Qin Yi immediately asked someone to bring the booklet over, and he opened it one by one: "This mansion has also investigated your family reputation during this time, so I made a booklet according to the results of the investigation, and you can pay the grain according to the records in the booklet." ”

When Qin Yi finished reading them one by one, the pot exploded at the bottom.

Several people stood up and shouted, "This is nonsense, nonsense, where did we get all that food?" This is clearly looting people's wealth, we have no food, and we have no food if the sky is broken. ”

It's really that there is a lot of food in that booklet for these families.

These people only thought that a family would pay a few thousand catties of grain, but who knew that Qin Yi would want that,

Even those with the most meager financial resources have to pay 10,000 catties of grain, and those big families will be even more.

A middle-aged man stood up and pointed at Cheng Yanluo and said, "There are only three or four hundred people under General Cheng's command, where can I eat so much food, General Cheng, what do you have in mind?" ”

Cheng Yanluo snorted and laughed: "General Ben just said that I am the most unhappy for others to refute me, and I don't want anyone to question me. ”

As soon as I fell to the ground, Cheng Yanluo rolled the whip in his hand, and rolled the man over and threw it to the soldiers behind him.

She smiled again: "I see that you people are very unconvinced, I think about it, even if you agree to give food, but it is difficult to guarantee that you will regret it, in order to be safe, it is better to stay, when, your family has enough food, you can naturally go back." ”

Qin Yi smiled and clapped his hands: "There is one thing you don't know, because of the opening of the warehouse to release grain, there is not much food at home in this mansion, and this mansion and General Cheng are now eating chaff vegetables, you stay, I am afraid that you will not be able to entertain you, so you have to make everyone wronged." ”

Cheng Yanluo echoed: "You are all familiar with poetry and etiquette, and you are the most loyal and patriotic. ”

"Then please go down." Qin Yi picked up a glass of wine.

The more than 300 people behind Cheng Yanluo immediately rushed up and invited these heads of the family into the few rooms vacated in the backyard one by one.

Cheng Yanluo followed, and after a while, he came again.

Qin Yi asked her to sit down and continue to eat and drink.

The two of them were full of food and drink, and Cheng Yanluo said: "In the past few days, I have asked Tie Zhu to lead people to keep an eye on those rooms, and none of these people will want to run, and in addition, I will also send a message to these wealthy families, asking them to ransom people with grain." ”

"Thank you for your hard work."

Qin Yi looked at Cheng Yanluo with a smile in his eyebrows: "And after this time, I will clean up this house with you and make your stay more comfortable." ”

Cheng Yanluo pursed his lips and smiled: "It's good now, why bother to move the people like that, I'll go and explain again, it's late at night, you should rest early." ”

Qin Yi nodded.

Cheng Yanluo left alone.

On the second day, Cheng Yanluo really sent people to deliver letters with various families.

When these people from these families saw the content of the letter, they scolded their mothers angrily.

Those people scolded the new prefect for not being authentic, how could they behave like a bandit? Where is this court official, this is worse than a mountain bandit.

There are also people who want to find helpers in the court.

Some people even want to find someone who is an official in the court at home to participate in Qin Yi.

Naturally, more people are in a hurry to bring back their own homeowners, after all, the government is not easy to live in, who knows what the situation is in the house, whether there is a loss or a crime.

In the next few days, Cheng Yanluo continued to recruit and train during the day, and at night he went to the backyard to beat these family heads in the few rooms.

The heads of the houses were locked in a narrow room, and it was cold, and there was no hot food or hot water, and they were miserable.

After a few days, someone gave food to bring back their homeowner.

Of course, there are also people who want to survive hard and see who can survive whom.

Qin Yi is not in a hurry, he does what he needs to do every day, and it seems that he doesn't take this matter to heart at all.

The next day, Tie Zhu hurriedly found Qin Yi, and when he saw him, he said: "Brother-in-law, you still have to take Jiuniang's affairs to heart, I haven't seen her for a few days, I don't know, I don't know if she's okay, I'm scratching my liver here, and I ask my brother-in-law to go to Wanchun Tower again to help me ask Jiuniang what she means." ”

Qin Yi suddenly remembered that Cheng Yanniang's matter had not been resolved.

He smiled and responded.

On this day, he wore civilian clothes and took a few attendants to Wanchun Tower.

He walked on his front feet, and when his back feet became smoke, he was looking for him, but he could not find anyone with him anywhere.

Cheng Yanluo remembered that Qin Yi and Tie Zhu were quite close these days, so he looked for Tie Zhu and asked, "Let me ask you, where is your brother-in-law?" ”

Tie Zhu said in a sullen voice: "I went to Wanchun Tower." ”

Cheng Yanluo was stunned for a moment, and waved his hand towards the iron pillar: "Okay, I know, you go first." ”

Tie Zhu didn't say anything, turned around and left.

After Tie Zhu left, Cheng Yanluo frowned, rubbed his forehead and smiled bitterly: "Sure enough, these men are all virtuous, and none of them can be separated from women, Qin Jiming has learned to recruit prostitutes at a young age." ”

Cheng Yanluo felt that there was something unpleasant in his heart, his mouth was also a little bitter, and his throat was even more dry.

She poured herself a glass of water and poured it down, and a glass of water was poured into her throat, but she still felt dry and bitter in her mouth, and it was uncomfortable.
