Han Zheng led the army and robbed a total of eight villages.

For a time, the flames were everywhere, and the sky was monstrous.

The common people cried and shouted, and the food that they had finally starved for the winter was all robbed.

Truckloads of grain were transported to Han Zheng's station.

The soldiers watched the grain and grass in the granary pile up again, and their faces showed a smile of relief.

A soldier said happily: "With this grain and grass, the brothers can also have a good winter." ”

When Han Zheng heard this, he looked at him with a somewhat terrifying look in his eyes and said, "This is satisfied?" Do you remember how we didn't have enough food and grass? ”

The soldier looked at Han Zheng's terrifying eyes, immediately knelt on the ground, and said, "General Hui doesn't dare to forget, our grain and grass were burned by Taisun's gang. ”

Han Zheng snorted coldly and said: "Hmph, just forget it, now the grain and grass we have looted have also been transported, go and call those generals to the big tent, I have something to order." ”

The soldiers answered and went out.

Soon, several generals under Han Zheng gathered in the big tent.

Han Zhengyi said in a righteous manner: "His Royal Highness Taisun, they burned our grain depot, we must avenge this revenge!" ”

"Now that we have food, it's time to take revenge."

A senior general stood up and asked, "General Han, how can our soldiers confront the emperor's soldiers, isn't that self-defeating?" ”

Han Zheng pondered: "Of course you can't fight the emperor's soldiers head-on, His Royal Highness Taisun has brought back so much grain and grass from Xuzhou, and now he has only taken half of it back." ”

"Only half of them is definitely not enough, as long as they dare to continue to transport grain, we will stay in the suburbs of Yanzhou and continue to ambush them, this time, I must catch them all!"

The soldiers below responded one after another: "Yes! Checkmate. ”

......

At the same time, there were caravans coming and going in Xuzhou City, and when they passed through the border of Yanzhou, they saw the tragic situation of more than a dozen villages along the way.

There are also the people who came to visit relatives in Xuzhou City, and before they arrived at the door of their relatives' homes, they heard that the nearby villages had been plundered by a certain army.

When they arrived at their relatives' houses, they found dead and wounded, even the lightest of which had been robbed of food.

For a time, the people were dissatisfied, and the people had bitter words.

Many people came to the gate of the official mansion and complained, shouting one after another.

"Ask the government to call the shots! My relatives were slaughtered in a suburban village! There is no one alive in the family! ”

After speaking, he knelt down in public, kowtowing and crying.

The others also began to cry: "My family living in a suburban village has also been killed!" Ask the government to call the shots! ”

"The Lord of the Governor's Mansion will give the people justice!"

"There is such an army in the world that does all kinds of evil!"

The people below are all shouting: "Lord Qiuzhifu is in charge!" ”

At this time, Xie Jin was writing a military report to Zhu Di in the mansion, and outside the door, a guard came to report.

"Report to your lordship, there are a lot of people gathered outside, calling you out to uphold justice."

Xie Jin was puzzled: "What? What administers justice? ”

The guard replied, "It is said that several villages on the outskirts have been robbed by an army. ”

Xie Jin was shocked and said, "What! Is there such a thing? ”

After Xie Jin finished speaking, he hurried to the door, opened the gate of the official mansion, and the people saw the prefect come out and rush up.

The guards stopped the people at once, preventing them from approaching Xie Jin.

Xie Jin shouted loudly from behind: "Everyone, stop! Don't get excited! Tell me one by one what's going on! ”

Only then did the people stop, and one of the people shouted: "The village on the outskirts has been burned and plundered by an army, and my nephew has also died in it. ”

The people began to shout: "My sister and her infant child were also killed, what a terrible death!" ”

"My dad was killed in the crop too!"

"All the food that my father managed to save for the winter was robbed by this group of people!"

"I..."

The people were gossiping, so that they didn't know who to listen to first.

Xie Jin raised his hand and shouted: "I have a general understanding of your situation, and I will personally send someone to the suburbs to find out after a while!" ”

"Please rest assured, we will definitely pay you justice! The government will never allow such an army that has done a lot of evil among the people! ”

The people quieted down at this time, they believed that the prefect would call the shots for them, and after some people thanked Xie Jin, everyone dispersed in a hurry.

Xie Jin also returned to the mansion, called a guard over, and told him to hurry up and go to every village in the suburbs to investigate.

After the guards left, Xie Jin thought in the room, there are only two armies at the junction of Xuzhou and Yanzhou, the emperor and the king of Han, and this matter is absolutely impossible for the emperor to do, then only the king of Han.

Later, he felt uneasy and personally rode to the suburban village to investigate.

When he came to the entrance of the village, the silence of the blue sky and white day made Xie Jin feel creepy.

Xie Jin walked into the village to look, and as soon as he walked to the first house, he found a body on the ground.

He examined the body, then went inside the house, and found it in a mess, and searched the house but found no trace.

Then I walked several more houses, almost all of them were like this, and they looked like they had been turned over.

Walking straight to a thatched hut, the voice of a little girl could be heard from inside.

Xie Jin is overjoyed, there are still people alive!

He hurriedly walked inside the house and saw a little girl taking care of her grandfather on the bed.

The sound of footsteps alarmed the little girl, who was so frightened that she kept backing when she saw someone.

Xie Jin said loudly: "Don't be afraid, child, I'm not a bad person, I'm the prefect of Xuzhou, someone reported that someone killed someone here, and I came to investigate the case." ”

The little girl was very flustered, she couldn't trust anyone, and she didn't open her mouth even if Xie Jin spoke.

It wasn't until finally Xie Jin took out a dry food on the horse and stretched it out in front of her to feed her, that she trembled and stretched out her hand to eat the dry food and devoured it.

Xie Jin watched her finish eating, and then spoke again.

"Little girl, how old are you?"

After eating the dry food, the little girl let go of her vigilance and began to answer Xie Jin's words.

"I'm twelve."

Xie Jin then asked, "What's wrong with your grandfather?" ”

The little girl looked at her grandfather, and thought of being robbed of food by several soldiers, and still whimpered quietly.

"In the morning, many people dressed like generals rushed to my house, turned my house over, and robbed my grandfather and me of food for the winter."

"Grandpa fainted directly on the ground after coming back and found out, and he hasn't woken up yet, woo woo woo ......"

After Xie Jin heard the little girl's words, his brows furrowed, someone in the family in front of him was killed, and food was robbed here, in the world of the Ming Dynasty, this kind of thing actually happened.
