Early the next morning, Han Tongwen went on the road with dry food and a package wrapped in six knives, and did not greet anyone, because he was afraid that Qiao Song would also follow.

Han Tongwen didn't ride a horse, because the road was closed by heavy snow, and it was a little difficult for the North Courtyard to even hike at this time, and Han Tongwen was eager to enter the North Garden. This snow disaster is exactly the same as Xizhou, so he has a hunch that there must be some connection between Beiting and Xizhou, and if he is in a hurry, he even thinks that he can find some news about the murderer of the snow disaster in Xizhou that year.

Han Tongwen's knife and Aoba were wrapped together and wrapped around his waist, while he was carrying a large package with dry food and some necessary things in it, and a map of Beiting Prefecture in his arms, which could be said to be fully prepared. As soon as the sky was bright, Han Tongwen was alone except for Youzhou City, looking at the dialect, the white world, Han Tongwen's heart was a little heavy, God knows how many people will die because of this heavy snow, which also strengthened Han Tongwen's heart to take revenge.

"Master, master!" came Qiao Song's voice behind him

Han Tongwen turned around and saw that Qiao Song didn't know when he had followed behind him

"Didn't I let you live in the Thorn Mansion? Why did they let you out" Han Tongwen was a little angry

"Master, don't be angry" Qiao Song shook Han Tongwen's arm, and Han Tongwen felt a chill.

"Because I knew you weren't going to look for me today, so I sneaked out last night," Qiao Song said with a smile

"You" looked at Qiao Song's smiling face that was frozen purple, although Han Tongwen was angry, he still didn't let it out, squatted down and held Qiao Song's hand

"It's so cold, you're freezing outside all night, what should you do if you catch a cold, just come and tell me last night"

"Cut, if I don't do this, you won't take me to Beiting" Qiao Song knows Han Tongwen best.

"Okay, okay, I really can't stand you fart, since you want to go to the North Courtyard with me, then let's say okay, you have to carry the package or something"

"Okay, no problem," Qiao Song said excitedly

The package is not much smaller than Qiao Song's body, but fortunately, Qiao Song has been practicing with Han Tongwen for a long time, and his body is not comparable to his peers, so there is no problem with carrying the package.

The world is full of snow, and if there is no special equipment, you will have to return if you can't go far, but fortunately, Han Tongwen has already had a countermeasure, went to a few planks, and made two pairs of sleds in his mind, one large and one small. The sledding is actually very simple, especially if the two of them still have kung fu, and it is extremely simple, and it will not take long to master it. Qiao Song rowed excitedly in the snow, and his speed was not much fuller than riding a horse.

"Master, where are we going?"

"The northwest direction has been moving forward, where is the capital of Beiting Prefecture, Mobei City, is also our destination. ”

"Where are we going, master, I don't understand why you insist on entering Beiting Prefecture" In Qiao Song's opinion, their task is to be responsible for distributing supplies to refugees, and entering Beiting is completely superfluous.

"Alas" Han Tongwen sighed, "When I was in Qingya Academy, I also thought that I only needed to help refugees, but after I came to Youzhou, I had a strong premonition, there must be some reason why many strong people entered Beiting Prefecture, I think maybe I can find the perpetrator of the snow disaster in Beiting Prefecture, and even find the murderer of the heavy snow in Xizhou, I don't want to miss the opportunity" Han Tongwen's voice was a little cold

"But we can't beat them," Qiao Song said

"Although we can't beat them, we can at least determine who the murderer is and who should be killed in the future"

Beiting Prefecture is very large, although they are not satisfied with the speed, but they still walked for a day before they saw a village. The snow had melted a lot, but all the houses still had only a spiky roof.

"Anyone?" shouted Han Tongwen

The sound of the empty snow was very quiet, and no one responded even after shouting several times. Han stopped in front of a house, and because the snow had obscured the door, he could only enter through the top of the window. Maybe it's because of the family's average background, so the house is simply furnished.

"Ahh

"What's wrong, Qiao Song" Han Tongwen hurriedly broke in

Qiao Song fell to the ground in a panic, and on the bed opposite were two corpses that had frozen to death for a long time! The corpse was like a young couple, because the weather was cold, so the corpses had not yet begun to decompose, the skin of the two couples was purple, and they looked very quiet when they hugged each other, as if they were immersed in a beautiful sleep, and the happy life had been buried before it began, which made people feel suffocated.

The village is not big, and there are dozens of households, Han Tongwen looked from house to house, but he didn't find a single living person.

You won't freeze to death on a snowy day, and the coldest is on a snowy day. At night, this pile of torches was lit in the middle of a farmhouse, and next to the torches, Han Tongwen was resting half-lying against a wall, still holding Qiao Song in his arms. The crackling flames devoured all the cold, but could not warm the hearts of the deceased. Han Tongwen couldn't sleep no matter what, because the scene of Han Lao Zhuangzi was replayed in his mind, which was so similar to now, no one wanted to die, but most people couldn't help themselves.

On the second day, Han Tongwen and Qiao Song ate some dry cakes and drank some snow water before they went on the road. The more empty the place, the easier it is to get lost, because you can't find any signs, you can only compare to the sun. After three days of driving, I passed four villages, either empty, having already left for shelter, or had died in the disaster.

At noon, a small castle appeared in front of me, half of the gates were soaked in snow, and the gates were wide open. Han Tongwen was a little lucky in his heart, those villages didn't have much grain in stock, so there were a lot of dead and wounded, but these big cities were different, every year's taxes were in the granary of the government, so there should be a lot of survivors in the city.

The doors of every house in the city are closed, and the first place Han Tongwen wants to go is the local government. The location of the official mansion is not difficult to find, in the middle of the county. Because of the snow, you can see the inside of the courtyard wall just by standing on the snow. It seems to be two worlds from the outside, there is no snow shadow in the official mansion, and it is all cleaned, and there is a noise in the inner hall at this time.

Han Tongwen took Qiao Song over the wall and entered, and there was no one to take care of him in the outer courtyard.

"Master, I don't have anything to sell to you, four days ago, the small one gave you the ancestral jade pendant, and the small store for ten days was also given to you, but the store worth hundreds of dollars was exchanged for a load of grain" A middle-aged man cried in his voice

"I said the third child, you are also a well-known figure in our county, I don't believe that you don't have anything else valuable at home. It's not that this grain is expensive, it's not my food, it's my hard-working purchase from the Mi family, this situation, food is life, can it not be expensive?" said a rich big fat man with kind eyebrows

"Sir, isn't the granary of our government full?

"Bold! Do you know what the consequences of opening a granary without permission? That is going to lose my head, without the order of the official, how can I, as the prefect of the county seat, know the law and break the law. The prefect looked upright.

The middle-aged man cried with a sad face, "But now the situation is critical"

"The situation is critical, and it can't be opened without an order from the official. ”

"By the way, I heard that you have a little daughter who is as beautiful as a flower?" said the prefect with an obscene smile

"My lord, what do you want to do," the middle-aged man said in horror

"Since you have no money to buy food, then it is better to give her to me as a concubine, when the time comes, you are my father-in-law, how can I not save me when I die?" the prefect laughed

"You're falling into a well," the middle-aged man shouted, pointing to the prefect

"I didn't force you, since you don't want to, forget it, the government won't force you, come and send off guests."

"Don't" The middle-aged man hesitated, if he went back empty-handed, the whole family would starve to death in three days, so it was better to agree to him than this.

"I promise," the middle-aged man cried

"Hey, what are you crying about, this is a beautiful thing," the prefect said with a false smile, "Come, just put a handprint on this contract."

The prefect has already prepared the contract, and what he is waiting for is the middle-aged door. Han Tongwen couldn't stand it anymore, and the prefect was shocked, and a knife was stuck on the pillar beside him.

"Bold, what kind of person!" the prefect looked at the knife on the side of his head and shouted, "Someone!"

Many young and strong people rushed out of the inner hall.

"As a local parent official, don't you feel ashamed to force Liang to become a prostitute, not to save him when he sees death, and to make a fortune as a refugee?" Han Tongwen said angrily

"Where did you come from, a wild boy, dare to take care of the affairs of this house," the prefect said

"The people of the world are in charge of the affairs of the world, as the prefect, you not only turn a blind eye to those refugees who starved to death, do not seek the well-being of the people, but use the snow disaster to harm the people, are you worthy of the poetry and books you learned in your belly? Are you worthy of the imperial order of the herdsmen on behalf of the heavens?" Han Tongwen was furious, "The natural disaster is indeed terrible, but there are still people who can survive in the cold weather, but you are the biggest executioner under the cold of Zhou Tian, and you are the heart of those people!"

The prefect was trembling all over, "Where did the stinky boy come from, dare to teach the people from this mansion, take it down for me!"

A group of catchers came with water and fire sticks, and Han Tongwen didn't plan to be good.

"Qiao Song, today I will give you a truth, sometimes removing one evil is equal to doing ten thousand good, for such a thing, I would rather suffer a loss than do it" Han Tongwen took out a knife

Although more than a dozen catchers are all strong, how can they be the opponents of Han Tongwen, who is already a great martial artist, a long knife is like a butterfly flying, the victory and defeat are only a moment clear, and more than a dozen people are lying on the ground and unable to move.

Han Tongwen approached the prefect with a knife, and the prefect couldn't stop retreating, "Come on, if anyone takes him, I'll give him ten loads of food!"

The temptation of food makes people lose their minds, and those people rush desperately, and it is enough to teach these people who are tigers a lesson, but the first evil must be severely punished. Han Tong asked that he was not giving the prefect any chance, his hand was raised, a bloody human head rolled down, and a group of catchers were at a loss.

"Shaoxia, you killed the imperial court official," said Nian worriedly

"Don't worry, if you can save 10,000 people by killing one person, then I will kill as many people as there are, tell me where the granary is" Han Tongwen asked
