Chu Nan's harvest in half an afternoon was not bad, he caught a crucian carp of about three catties, and a few old fish of about half a catty, and asked people to take these fish to the Star Picking Building to raise him first, and if he wanted to eat them one day, he would let the chef make them.

Although it was not yet evening, a large number of displaced people in the imperial city began to pour out of the city.

What is the meaning of people passing through ten thousand boundless, and what is the meaning of waiting in a long line for food.

Two thousand cauldrons were lined up eight miles away outside the city, and there were almost sixty or seventy homeless people around each pot.

At the beginning, these homeless people who went out of the city only waited in front of the few pots closest to the city gate, and one person was not afraid, and ten people were not afraid. Thousands of people are near the city gate, but it is not so beautiful, you step on me, I hug you, a mess.

The prefect Liu Quan sent someone to ask Chu Nan what to do?

Chu Nan just asked the prefect Liu Quan to tell the people that the closer to the city gate, the less food in the pot, and that dinner did not start unified, but from the farthest pot.

These Zheng people have no home, no land, and their money has already been spent when they are displaced and hurrying.

The population of the imperial city is large and prosperous, but suddenly there are more than 100,000 homeless people begging, no matter how good the well-wishers are, they are powerless, and the food is given to the homeless people, what does his own family eat, so many of these homeless people only eat one steamed bun a day, and the six people who have not eaten a bite of food for two days are also very many.

As soon as they heard that they would start eating from that side, they all left the city gate and ran for the first pot in the distance.

What annoyed Chu Nan was that the prefect Liu Quan was a waste.

Half an hour later, Liu Quan sent someone to tell Chu Nan that tens of thousands of people were wandering near the farthest first pot, and there was still a lot of noise, not only that, but many homeless people flocked to it.

Chu Nan asked the official who sent the message to go back and tell Liu Quan, let him organize people to surround a pot of up to seventy people, and if there is still something to understand, let Liu Quan see if the sword of the Son of Heaven can also go in with a white knife and come out with a red knife.

While all the homeless people were waiting for dark to eat, one of the homeless people did not go outside the city, but entered a dilapidated compound.

There were nearly 100 homeless people lying in the courtyard, and one of them was an old man reading a book in his hand.

The homeless man who had just entered the courtyard knelt down on one knee in front of the old man and said, "Governor Dadu, General Liu has sent me to ask for instructions, let's go out of the city without us?"

The old man continued to look at the book in his hand, and said without raising his head: "Tell General Liu to inform the people below that you can do whatever you want, you don't have to go out of the city, if we all go out of the city, then as soon as the city gate is closed, our plan will be in vain." You are telling General Liu that the army will arrive at the gate of the city in four days, so that he can get ready, and there will be no Zheng Guo by then. ”

The outcasts left the compound and went to another dilapidated hut, and after telling the old man what he had said to a bearded man in the house, he was ordered by the big man to inform the other generals.

The abnormal behavior of this homeless person has already been secretly recorded and informed to Chu Nan.

When Chu Nan found out, he ordered him to continue to follow the homeless man secretly, and asked him to remember the courtyards he had visited.

As evening approached, Chu Nan also led the escort group out of the city.

The prefect Liu Quan saw Chu Nan coming over, and hurriedly went up to salute.

The title of a baron is equivalent to the rank of a seventh-rank official, and if those seventh-rank officials see him, the fourth-rank official in the capital, they must not shake their heads and tail like a pug.

At this time, he Liu Quantang, a four-grade prefect, had to bow his head to the other party at this time, who let the family have the Son of Heaven Sword in his hand.

"Lord Chu, I don't know if I can make a fire to cook now. ”

Chu Nan: "It's okay." ”

The first pot lit up a fire, and the billowing green smoke went straight to the sky.

After five breaths after the first pot fires, the second pot starts again, and each pot fires five breaths apart.

An hour later, the pot closest to the city gate had just caught fire, and the first one had been cooked.

Then the rice in the new cauldron was ready, and at this moment, there was a dispute over the middle of the two thousand cauldrons.

A big man pulled his throat and said, "We're hungry, we want to eat, why don't you let us go." ”

"Yes. ”

"Why can they eat, we can't. ”

"I haven't eaten in two days, let me go over and eat. ”

The rice in the pot is good first, and those who are not good leave the cauldron they are guarding and go to the cauldron where the rice is already good to grab the rice to eat.

Liu Quan and Chu Nan came to the place of quarrel.

Liu Quanquan said gloomily: "If there is a quarrel, you will all be locked up in prison during the quarrel." ”

"Catch it!"

"Arrest it! I'd rather go to prison and have food than starve to death." The big man said angrily.

"That's it, it's better to kill us than not to let us eat. ”

"Don't be afraid, we grab food, they don't dare to do anything to us. ”

The big man looked at each other and took the lead in breaking through the barriers of the officers and soldiers to grab the big pot of rice.

Liu Quan said that he wanted to keep them in prison, but in fact, he also glanced at the officials around him, otherwise how could those officers and soldiers not be able to stop those troublemakers.

A famous guest beside Chu Nan muttered a few words in his ear.

Chu Nan shouted, "Where are the Praetorian Guards?" ”

The general of the Praetorian Guard on the side said: "The Praetorian Guard is here." ”

"Arrest those guys. Chu Nan pointed to the people who grabbed the food.

The Praetorian Guard general ordered the men to be caught and asked what to do next.

Chu Nan pointed to the barren slope in the distance and said, "Pull down and cut it all over there." ”

The face of the general of the Praetorian Guard changed, and the prefect Liu Quan said: "Lord Chu, these homeless people have been hungry for a long time, and it is understandable that they will fight for food when they see it, so it is not too much to kill them." ”

"That's it, that's it, we're so hungry, how can we commit a capital crime if we eat some imperial food. ”

"That's it, it's just that we don't accept it. ”

The few people who were caught were also a little frightened, and shouted loudly, while encouraging the other homeless people.

The people who watched the excitement also helped to cheer.

"Ma Liu!"

"Who called me?" heard someone shouting to himself, and one of the arrested homeless people subconsciously replied.

Chu Nan said: "I called you, Ma Liu, you are the leader of the gangsters in Sidao Street in the north of the city, and you spent a hundred taels of silver to drink flower wine in Cuihualou yesterday, your family is not short of money at all, but you came here to pretend to be a homeless person, and grab food with them, I judged that you are a spy of the Qi State, and you came here to deliberately create chaos." ”

Ma Liu, the more he listened, the paler his face became, "I'm not a spy of the Qi Kingdom, I'm here, I'm here." ”

"What's it!"

How dare Ma Liu say that it is the right prime minister's housekeeper who asked me to create chaos to kill you, Ma Liu's eyes widened and said: "Lao Tzu's idle eggs hurt, every day the big fish and meat are greasy, go out of the city and eat some porridge." What's the matter, one doesn't steal, the other doesn't rob. Why do you want to kill me, at most you can hit two boards, do you think I don't understand the law?"

Chu Nan said to the Praetorian Guard general: "Do you believe that he is an idle egg?"

The general of the Praetorian Guard believed strangely, "I don't believe it." ”

Chu Nan said: "They are definitely the spies of the Qi State, leaving one person to record a confession, and the rest of the department will be cut down, I believe that there are still spies of the Qi State here." He looked at the Praetorian Guard general with good intentions.

"Chop, chop, the skinny one stays. "The Praetorian Guard general personally led people to the barren slope.

No matter how the people who were taken away begged for mercy, Chu Nan didn't seem to hear it, and he said to all the displaced people present: "If anyone is making trouble, they will be dealt with according to the traitors of the Qi State, and do you think those people just now should not die? If they succeed in snatching food, how many people will follow the example, and when there is chaos, they will inevitably send troops to suppress it, and the suppression will not kill anyone? ”

"Damn! I just looked at those people, they didn't look like good people, they turned out to be spies of Qi State, and they were all light when they were cut. ”

"That is, if it weren't for Lord Chu's kindness and giving them a good time, they would have been handed over to the Criminal Department to pick their skin and let them harm people. ”

The tone of the masses became in an instant, and everyone seemed to have become a fiery eye, as if they could see the demons in the world.

Everyone quietly waited for their big pot to be ready, and they shared the meal, and no one was making trouble.

After eating, some homeless people have to go back to the city to find a place to sleep.

Chu Nan promised again that there would be a meal in the middle of the night.

The homeless people who wanted to go back immediately sat on the ground and waited for the meal in the middle of the night, even if they didn't eat and kept the next meal.

Soon Emperor Guo Renhe knew about this matter, and praised the teacher for his ability, and he could solve anything immediately.

The right prime minister, Li Kui, broke a beloved teacup, scolded a word of waste, and instructed the housekeeper to dispose of the one left behind.

Zuo Xiangfang Xiaoning wondered why Chu Nan didn't order the city gate to be closed, and he had to take care of the meal at night.

When the old man in Qi Guo found out, he smiled and continued to read.

In the middle of the night, those homeless people really ate another meal, and learned that there was breakfast tomorrow morning, so they all slept on the spot and waited for the breakfast in the morning.

In the early morning of the next day, after Chu Nan got dressed under the service of the maid, he went directly to find the imperial city guards and gave him a map, which was full of locations.

The general of the Imperial City Guard didn't understand what it meant, and Chu Nan told him that the residence marked on the map was full of displaced people from the Qi Kingdom.

The Imperial City Praetorian Guard was stupid if they didn't understand what it meant, and they organized people to arrest the spies of the Qi State at the moment.

A moment later, a shout rang out in the ruined courtyards of the Imperial City.

30,000 Imperial City Guards, excluding 10,000 guarding the Imperial Palace, and 20,000 people divided into several groups of men and horses, easily annihilated the defenseless 8,000 Qi soldiers.

The battle, which lasted half a morning, was over. This short battle shocked the entire imperial city, and the emperor and officials were bloodless, these were 8,000 enemy soldiers who entered the imperial city! If the enemy's 300,000 iron cavalry came over, plus these 8,000 people, the imperial city would be killed.

The emperor and the civil and military officials were discussing how to reward Chu Nan in the Jinluan Palace, some people said that some rewards were too little, and some people said that they would be awarded another title. It is not good to reward too little, and a group of civil officials who reward too much do not agree.

Although many people don't look down on Chu Nan's businessman's background, this time he used soup soup to separate the real homeless people from the soldiers of Qi State, and finally the emperor discussed for a long time to add a viscount title to Chu Nan with a name and no power.

As soon as the title of Chu Nan was discussed, a soldier rode into the Jinluan Palace, knelt down on one knee and said, "Eight hundred miles of red urgent military information." ”

You must know that this red expedited military situation is quite serious, and after learning the specific content of the military situation, Emperor Guo Renhe and the full hall of civil and military ministers all turned pale.

The 300,000 iron cavalry of the Qi State will be in the city in less than half a day, two days ahead of schedule.

This is really just a wave that has just subsided, and another wave is more violent.

[I went to the Internet café today, and I finished this chapter in advance, so you don't have to wait until after 12 o'clock to read it. Someone asked you if this is a Xianxia novel? Hehe, don't worry, after this stage passes, you will concentrate on cultivating immortals, and if you don't let go of the red dust and world, where to cultivate immortals. ”
