While the two were talking, they heard a commotion outside, and the loyal servant and housekeeper of Li Yansi's family came in in a panic and shouted: "Zuru, the Ming army has entered the city!"

Li Yansi and Bao Zhong glanced at each other, couldn't sit still, and got up separately, Li Yansi grabbed the old housekeeper and asked, "Don't laugh!"

"It's true that I've entered the city, I saw it with my own eyes, do you want to go to the street to have a look?"

Out of the door, the streets and alleys were already a mess, many party members were panicked and hid at home, and some strong people shouted that they were going to fight with the Ming army, but the blades at home had already been confiscated, and there was no inch in their hands, so they could only shout and shout.

The Ming army entered the city along the main street, and when Li Yansi, Bao Zhong and others arrived on the main street, they happened to see the last group of Ming troops entering the White Horse Courtyard.

I inquired about the party members who rushed to the onlookers first, and knew that the Ming army was about two or three hundred, and they had just entered the city, but it was not clear why they entered the city. This was the first time since the Ming army withdrew from Qiongxi Town in June of the previous year, and the party members were very panicked.

"Could it be that the Ming people are going to do something to us?"

"I heard that we are going to take our land outside the city ......"

"He dares! That is the ancestral land of our party!"

"Hmph, don't forget, we're defeated. ”

"Then why didn't you accept it three years ago?"

"Abbot Zeng is gone, isn't this Abbot Zhao looking at our party people unpleasantly?"

"Alas...... Where can I find a good person like Abbot Zeng......"

In the midst of the different opinions, Li Yansi and the others looked very gloomy.

Not long after, the Shu Ming Qiangxiong of the Po Chao clan and the Shu Ming Zehui of the Mi Bao clan also arrived and speculated and discussed with Li Yansi.

Seeing such a scene, Bao Zhong knew that his plan to borrow grain today would not be realized, and probably all the Dingkou of the Renjia family would be hungry.

When he was at a loss, he saw a Taoist priest coming out of the White Horse Courtyard, who was the head of Lin Kutou who was responsible for distributing relief food to the party members.

When Li Yansi waved his hand, several party members rushed up, so that they could talk badly and invite Lin Kutou over.

Li Yansi was about to ask, but Lin Kutou preemptively said: "I was going out to look for you, but it just so happened that several of you were here." To make a long story short, tomorrow's relief food will not be distributed for the time being. ”

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was immediately shocked.

"Lin Kutou, how can this be?"

"Chief Lin Dao, the relief food has stopped, should we go drink the northwest wind?"

"Lord Lin, don't you! Isn't this going to put my party members to death?"

"Why, please make it clear to Lin Kutou. ”

Lin Kutou frowned and said, "What are you arguing about?" I also said bluntly, you have also seen this snow, the road is difficult, and I don't know when the next batch of grain will be delivered. At present, Hongyuan is short of food, so it can only give priority to ensuring the construction of houses outside the city, and at the end of the month, a group of migrants from the interior will come, which is the dead task of the Yamen, the governor of western Sichuan, and it will be dealt with if it is not done well. Therefore, all of you have forgiven me, go back and talk to the clansmen, and let everyone wait. When there is abundant food, when will it be given to you. ”

"Why is there no food?"

"What do you think? More than 20,000 acres of land have been left uncultivated for three years, where is there food? Do you really think that food is conjured out of thin air? To be able to feed you up to now, it is already my White Horse Courtyard's benevolence and righteousness. ”

Li Yansi said: "This ...... This...... Many families have no food, when will this be? ”

In the face of the threat, Lin Kutou sneered: "The bullet can't be suppressed? Is your brother joking? Besides, Abbot Zhao has already expected it, otherwise what does your brother think the army entering the city is here to do?"

Li Yansi made a look, and Qiangxiong and Zehui and a few others surrounded him, so that they could talk about it and ask Lin Kutou to show the way.

Lin Kutou was surrounded helplessly, so he only got it: "For the sake of our dealing with us for a few years, I will tell you two ways, whether you want to do it yourself or not." First, like the Han people, go to work outside the city, build swing houses, and earn food by working, and second, take out your land and sell it to the White Horse Courtyard, and if it is not good, you will reduce the rent so that the Han people can plant. ”

"This ...... What else?"

"Then you go to Abbot Zhao to talk, I can't do anything. Ladies and gentlemen, farewell. ”

Bao Zhong had no intention of listening to it, so he strode out of this place, returned home, and asked Xi Zhong to invite a few people from the Ren family to discuss together.

"Uncle, Jing Cheng, every family has no food, right?"

The old uncle said: "Lu Ze, you also know the situation of each family, you might as well say it directly." ”

Bao Zhong said: "Today, the Ming army entered the city, everyone knows, I just listened to the words of Daoist Lin of the White Horse Academy, tomorrow's relief food has stopped, and I can't get it......"

Jing Cheng looked excited: "I just heard about it, Lu Ze, what should I do? Everyone listens to you, are you going to grab the three tribesmen? Or are we going to close the position?"

Bao Zhong glared and reprimanded: "Confused! I just said, didn't you see the Ming army enter the city? Do you have a knife in your hand? Even if you have a knife in your hand, how can you run away if you grab Chang Ping? You can run away if you drag the old and the young at home? We didn't succeed that day, but we can run today? The Ming army is tens of thousands, just near the left, and you will be leveled in the blink of an eye!"

Jing Cheng said aggrievedly: "Then what should I do? I can't starve to death, right? I rent out the land, and Zuru won't let me, and I won't even be allowed to work in the field, what is this called? I can't learn if I can't farm?"

Bao Zhong said: "Zu Ru's plan is very big......"

Jing Cheng was irritated and said, "Lu Ze, what do you say? This doesn't work, that doesn't work!"

The old uncle drank: "Jing Cheng, do you still have any rules!"

Bao Zhong said: "This newly appointed abbot Zhao, I'm afraid that the last one surnamed Zeng is a little different, he dares to stop distributing relief, and even dares to transfer troops into the city! I pondered, Zu Ru's plan is afraid that it is enough, and if it is twisted so strongly, I am afraid that we will be the first to finish. I went to Zuru today to borrow grain but didn't get it, this is very illustrative, for today's plan, we have to fill our stomachs first, our stomachs can't be filled, what kind of big plan to talk about? I want to go to work outside the city first, just now I heard Lin Daochang say, this is the way Zhao Abbot pointed out, I want to throw stones to ask for directions, to see what kind of attitude Abbot Zhao has towards our party members. ”

Jing Cheng said: "What kind of attitude? Do you still need to ask, they have all transferred troops into the city!"

Bao Zhong said: "If Abbot Zhao really wants to attack my party members, will he be so clear about transferring troops? Jing Cheng, you haven't fought before, do you like to make a big show or quietly ambush before going into battle?"
