Chapter Thirty-Eight
Just like Feng Jiang before, these dead soldiers seemed to change their hearts and faces, crying and hissing as if they were trying their best to repent.
"My sins are too great to forgive! Damn it! Damn it! ”
"I regret that I didn't kill so many people for a few taels of silver...... I really don't want to die! ”
"Blood! How my hands are full of blood! Whose blood is this! ”
Even the horses that didn't run away in time in the battle circle were frightened, and kept turning in circles, as if they had entered a maze array, and they couldn't figure out the direction.
"This ......"
Yang Laoqi's eyes widened, and only then did they know that the county magistrate was so powerful.
No wonder Shen Xuzi never talks about remuneration in front of him, and he dares to know the truth so politely to the other party.
They are now completely throwing themselves to the ground with the admiration of each other's adults.
It seems that today in the lobby is just a small test, and now it is the magic that will be revealed.
Even Shen Xuzi, who was paddling on the side, was amazed, he didn't know how Fang Yunchen cultivated such a terrifying righteous qi, and a single look and an edict could suppress Xiao Xiao.
This method can be called instantaneous brainwashing.
Even Zen Buddhism, which has flourished for hundreds of years, does not have such a powerful effect on the Buddha's light that its disciples are quite proud of?
At this moment, a dead man showed a hideous appearance of pain, and even directly pulled out a knife and committed suicide, walking very happily.
"Stop them! Don't let them die, it's still useful! ”
Fang Yunchen himself was also taken aback, and hurriedly waved his hand to let Yang Laoqi tie up all the remaining dead soldiers, so that there could be no more losses.
"Okay, this official has always been low-key in doing things for people, don't make any noise about today's affairs."
After some advice, Fang Yunchen sent people to clean up the battlefield and collect the bones, and at the same time asked people to gather all the miners who were hiding in the tunnel, preparing to take them all away.
At first, the frightened people didn't dare to come out at all, and even if they were told that the county magistrate was coming in person, they didn't cooperate at all.
There is no way, these people have been in the mine for a long time, and they have long become frightened birds.
In desperation, Yang Laoqi and Zhao Wu had no choice but to shake the long knife in their hands before they all drove everyone out of the hole.
"So many people!"
Seeing the people who kept coming out of the entrance of the mine, Fang Yunchen seemed to see a Wuling Hongguang parked in front of him.
How many people are in there?
He jumped to the top of a huge hill on the side of the road and looked up, and at this time there were more than 1,000 people crowded at the entrance of the mine.
The follow-up is still constantly moving forward and slowly crowding in.
After a few incense sticks, half a figure could not be seen inside the mine.
A cursory count shows that there are more than 3,000 people working in the mines.
Fang Yunchen straightened his official uniform, and first asked Yang Laoqi, who was standing on the side, to read out the notice of temporarily sealing the Hangu Mine in public: "The Hangu Mine will be temporarily sealed from today...... Violators will be punished heavily. Therefore, it is indicated. ”
Lu Yibo wrote this notice concisely and to the point, and Yang Laoqi was full of confidence when he read the draft, and his voice echoed throughout the mining area, and all the people could hear it clearly.
"This hellish mine is sealed? Can we finally get out of this cannibalistic place? ”
When most of the miners heard the news, they first froze in disbelief, and then wept with joy after confirming that they had not heard it wrong.
But at this moment, I saw a white-haired and ragged old man rushing out of the crowd desperately, kneeling under the hill where Fang Yunchen was standing.
"Your Excellency! This mine can't be sealed! Zhuangzi is long gone, the land has also been destroyed, and there is no grain at all, so we can mine here, and finally have a bite to eat. But if you seal this place, my lord, we people will have no livelihood, and the whole family will have to wait to starve to death! Please, don't seal the mine......"
As he spoke, the old man directly slammed his head on the ground, making a thumping sound.
"Old man, why are you doing this!"
Before Fang Yunchen could signal, Yang Laoqi took the initiative to jump down and help the old man up.
This old man Yang Laoqi naturally recognized him, and everyone called him the fifth grandfather, who was the toughest of these miners, and he had stayed up until now, just so that his family had something to eat.
"Old Seven!"
After the fifth grandfather saw Yang Laoqi, he suddenly burst into tears and couldn't cry.
Immediately afterwards, many people knelt down and kowtowed to Fang Yunchen to plead together.
Zhao Wu and Gao Dahai jumped down one after another to help these people up.
Naturally, they also understand that the people here have been forcibly tied to the mine, and leaving here is a dead end.
Even if he is not starved to death, he will be made worse than dead by the four wealthy families.
It's just that they don't dare to say the latter point.
"Old man, you don't have to be like this, this official knows your hardships, and if you have something to say, stand up and speak slowly!"
Fang Yunchen's voice was equally loud, and there was an inexplicable power that attracted everyone to raise their heads and focus their eyes on him.
I only heard him shout to everyone present: "Don't worry, everyone, you can go with this official!" Starting today, the county government will distribute relief food, and everyone will have a share, and you will never be starved again. If from today onwards, if one person in Anseong is starved to death because he can't eat relief food, he will resign tomorrow and go home to plant sweet potatoes. ”
When everyone heard this, they were a little unbelieving at first.
I have heard this many times, but in the end, the people who starved to death were still lying on the streets, and it was unbearable to see.
Even Yang Laoqi on the side didn't believe it, he hurriedly leaned over and reminded in a low voice: "My lord, there is not much surplus food in the county government......
With so many miners dragging their families and thousands of mouths to eat, it is impossible for the county government to gather so much grain in a short period of time.
Fang Yunchen smiled slightly, and said directly and honestly: "It's okay, say it out loud, there is indeed not so much food in the county government......
When the crowd heard this, they were in an uproar.
Lord Fang, Lord Fang, are you making fun of us hard-working people?
But he heard Fang Yunchen continue: "Although the county government does not have it, there are rice shops, large families have it, and there are so many granaries in the homes of the wealthy families that there is nowhere to pile up. I don't need to say that, you know that, right? You should have a good idea of where most of the food you worked hard to grow every year went, right? ”
The crowd was silent.
Everyone understands the truth, but who has the courage to fight those people's ideas?
"As long as you are willing to go with me, the official will ask these big families to raise food, anyway, they can't eat so much food. Of course, if someone refuses, then the public security in the county is not good during this time, and if anyone goes out of the water or encounters bad people, the official can't be the master. ”
Hearing Fang Yunchen's ridiculous explanation, the person with a low laugh point burst out laughing.
Others are also moving.
