Chapter 982: Benevolent Government

Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 inforeadx;? It rained heavily for seven days, and the sky finally cleared, but the areas of Toyowon and Myeongsu-gun, which were the hardest-hit, had become an ocean.

In Qingcheng alone, there are as many as 70,000 or 80,000 people in Ningnan who have poured in, and the granaries in the city have long been gone, and the rations of the people in the city are all drawn from the military rations by the Feng army.

On this day, Shangguan Xiu went to the south of the city to inspect, the water in the city has been basically emptied, the road surface is still clean, and when he goes up to the city wall, he looks outside the city, and everywhere he looks, it is full of floods.

The flood outside the city has submerged the city wall to a height of eight meters, but fortunately, the city wall of Qingcheng is strong enough to form a circular embankment to protect Qingcheng from flooding.

At this time, there were quite a few soldiers of the Feng Army and the people of Ningnan who rowed rafts and went outside the city, hooked the trees drifting along the flood with long iron hooks, and pulled them back to the city wall, and then the soldiers and people on the city head dragged the trees up the city wall and cut them into wooden stakes to strengthen the city wall.

Inside and outside the city, above and below the city, there are busy figures of the wind army and the people everywhere, such a scene is something that Shangguan Xiu has never seen before, and I am afraid that many people have never even dared to imagine it before.

Shangguan Xiu smiled, and the mood that had been suppressed for days was suddenly much more relaxed, and even the faintly painful wounds on his body seemed to have become less painful.

He walked down from the city wall, and the soldiers and people passing by saluted one after another, and said in unison: "Your Highness," "Your Highness Jin'an", "Your Highness Wanfu,"

No matter how bad Shangguan Xiu's reputation in Ningnan is, at least the people of Qingcheng have completely different feelings,

The Feng army under the command of Shangguan Xiu, after the capture of Qingcheng, did not plunder the people's money and property, nor did they kill innocents indiscriminately, even the captured city army was also released, Zhao'an's Zhao'an,

Especially after the outbreak of the flood, the performance of the wind army can be called a teacher of benevolence and righteousness.

Instead of taking the grain in Qingcheng as their own, the Feng army also opened a warehouse to release grain, so that the people in the city could receive food and eat their stomachs.

Even though a large number of victims poured into Qingcheng later, and the granaries in the city were gone, the Feng army still took out food from the military rations and distributed it among the many victims.

As far as the performance of the Feng army is concerned, it is remarkable, the people of Ningnan in the city are all grateful to Dade, under such a serious disaster, even if the central army of Ningnan enters the city, they may not be so kind to the people in the city.

During this period, although there were nearly 100,000 more victims in the city, there was never a riot, but the victims and the people in the city worked together with the wind army to fight the disaster.

With such a scene of the army and the people being single-minded, it is completely impossible to see that the wind army is an occupation army that has invaded from outside.

Walking on the main street in the city, every short distance, you can see people giving porridge, some soup kitchens are organized by the wind army, some soup kitchens are organized by the righteous army, and some soup kitchens are spontaneously organized by wealthy businessmen in the city.

In the soup kitchens of the Feng Army and the Righteous Army, because there are soldiers guarding the town, the people queuing up to receive the porridge are in order, while at the soup kitchens of large merchants, the scene is often chaotic, cutting in line, pushing and pushing can be seen everywhere, and the sound of shouting and scolding is also one after another.

The strong men among the people basically went to strengthen the city defenses, and when the meal was served, they ate with the wind army, and those who could come to receive the porridge were basically some old and young, sick and disabled.

Shangguan Xiu was walking forward, staggering out of the crowd of porridge and staggering out of a little girl, just stepping on Shangguan Xiu's feet, the little girl didn't stand enough, and fell to the side, Shangguan Xiu's hands were sick, and he bent down and picked her up,

Xiao Jue and Wu Yufei, who were following Shangguan Xiu, hurriedly stepped forward and said worriedly, "Brother Xiu,"

Others don't know, but the two of them know best that Shangguan Xiu's injuries are not completely healed, and his body is still very weak.

Shangguan Xiu smiled at the two of them and said casually, "It's okay," he gently put the little girl he picked up on the ground and said, "Be careful,"

The little girl raised her head, her clear eyes, with curiosity, doubt, and some fear, she looked at him without blinking, and asked in a childish voice, "You...... Who are you......"

Before she finished speaking, an old man ran over quickly, hugged the little girl tightly, and stammered: "This son, the little baby has no intention of colliding, please ...... Please forgive your sins,"

Shangguan Xiu, Xiao Jue, and Wu Yufei are not wearing military uniforms, but the temperament of the three of them is completely different from that of ordinary people, and Lao Suo can naturally see that they are not ordinary people.

He smiled disappre一门ly, nodded to Lao Suo and the little girl, and continued to walk forward, seeing that he was not guilty, Lao Suo was obviously relieved, led the little girl, and squeezed into the crowd of porridge,

He walked forward not far away, and heard the cry of the girl behind him, he stood still, turned his head to look, and saw the old man who was with the girl was lying on the ground at this time, bleeding from his mouth and nose, and there were two burly men standing aside.

One of them grabbed the little girl, and the other was scolding and shouting at Lao Suo: "My master has taken a fancy to this little girl, it is your blessing, and he is unwilling, I think you are looking for a beating," while speaking, he aimed at Lao Suo's chest and kicked him viciously.

Lao Suo vomited blood and fell to the ground, motionless, the little girl cried for a while, so it was not miserable, but there were so many people around, people just stared and stared, and no one dared to step forward to stop it.

Seeing this, Shangguan Xiu frowned, and Xiao Jue immediately waved his hand to call over a dark flag officer and asked, "What's the matter?"

The dark flag officer bowed down and said: "The owner of this family is surnamed Li, he is a member of Qingcheng, and he is also the richest businessman in Qingcheng City, it seems that Li Yuanwai has taken a fancy to that little girl and wants to include her in the house, but the little girl's grandfather refused, so there was a quarrel, by the way, when our army first entered the city, Li Yuanwai donated silver, and the amount was quite a lot,"

"How much is the amount," Shangguan Xiu suddenly asked,

"Back to Your Highness, the villain remembers, it seems to be eighteen thousand taels,"

Ho, it's really a rich family, and as soon as he makes a move, it's close to 20,000 taels of silver.

"Also, when the flood broke out, the Li family also donated a lot of food to our army,"

"So, because the Li family has a favor to our army, no matter how they are tyrannical and bullying men and women in the city, our army will turn a blind eye and ignore it, right," Shangguan Xiu asked in a flat tone,

The Dark Flag personnel were so frightened that their bodies were shocked, and they hurriedly knelt on their knees, and said in a trembling voice: "The villain doesn't dare, please forgive your Highness,"

Shangguan Xiu ignored him, turned his head sideways and said, "Absolutely,"

Xiao Jue understood, walked quickly towards the two big men, he came to the front of the two big men, without saying a word, raised his legs is two feet, kicked on the two big men,

The two big men didn't stand enough, staggered back, and sat on the ground, their faces flushed, and they couldn't say a word for a long time.

Seeing his two family members being beaten, a wealthy middle-aged man who was standing under the lintel suddenly had a sinking face, raised his hand and pointed at Xiao Jue, without him speaking, dozens of family guards suddenly poured out on both sides, surrounding Xiao Jue.

Xiao Jue laughed, laughing angrily, he raised his eyes to look at the rich middle-aged man, and said word by word: "If you dare to let your people move, I will want your head,"

His gloomy gaze shocked the rich middle-aged man's heart, and a chill arose in his heart, but if he was afraid, in the whole Qingcheng, what he was most afraid of was the wind army, but he could see Xiao Jue's dress, although he was dressed in brocade and had an extraordinary temperament, but after all, he was not a military uniform, obviously he was not a wind army, the middle-aged man suppressed the fear in his heart, sneered, raised his hand to point at Xiao Jue, and said in a deep voice: "Take this thief down for me,"

Hearing his words, the surrounding families and nurses rushed up, but they all rushed into the air, and then looked at the crowd, where was Xiao Jue's figure,

The middle-aged man was also stunned, he could see clearly, the other party disappeared out of thin air in the crowd, and before he could react to what was going on, he heard the voice behind him: "I have warned you, but you are looking for death,"

The sudden voice behind him made the middle-aged man shocked, and he was just about to turn his head to check, when a flash of lightning had swept across his neck,

Click, with a crisp sound, the middle-aged man's round head rolled off his shoulder, the headless corpse was still standing in place, and a bloody arrow sprayed out from the broken neck, dyeing the lintel several meters high red,

Seeing this, the scene was silent for two or three seconds, and then, as if a pot had been fried, people shouted and neighed, and screams arose, and the eyes of all the families were red, and they roared angrily and rushed towards Xiao Jue.

"Are you really not afraid of death?" said from behind them, and when they looked back, they saw a young man and woman approaching, and all the men looked at them, and asked angrily, "Who are you, but you are with him?"

"Shangguan Xiu,"

"What,"

"My name is Shangguan Xiu,"

Hearing the words 'Shangguan Xiu' clearly, everyone present all had a great change in their faces.

The people who came to their senses first involuntarily knelt on their knees, and then those family members also reacted, and one by one they were so frightened that their faces were like dirt, and they hurriedly threw away the weapons in their hands and knelt on the ground together.

Shangguan Xiu ignored them, he walked up to Lao Suo and looked down, Lao Suo's injuries were not serious, but he was getting older, and the injuries that were not serious had become very serious on him.

He frowned, raised his hand and snapped his fingers, and beside him, a man in black appeared out of thin air, bowed down and said, "Your Highness,"

"Find a doctor immediately and heal my father-in-law,"

"Yes, Your Highness," the man in black agreed, and in an instant, the man had disappeared, he came suddenly, and he went quickly, and the strangest thing was that everyone around him only remembered that he was dressed in black, and as for what he looked like, he couldn't remember at all,

Shangguan Xiu rolled his eyes, looked at the little girl who was crying on Lao Suo, and said softly: "Don't worry, the doctor will come over soon,"

On the second floor of a nearby teahouse, there were several young men and women sitting against the window, they could see what was happening on the street clearly, and the eyes of those young people fell on the woman in it, and asked in a low voice, "He is Shangguan Xiu,"
