Xie and Yong sat aside and watched the woman put the group of people aside.

This woman is truly extraordinary in martial arts. I don’t know her identity. Although she is wearing a short skirt that looks very ordinary and plain, if you look closely, you can see that it is embroidered with dark patterns, and it is obvious that it was made by a skilled embroiderer.

Look at the fabric, which is faintly shiny. It must be something unusual.

Seeing that she wanted to tie someone up with the rope, Xie Heyong stood up to stop her, "Wait a minute!"

"What? You didn't do anything just now, and now you're going to cause trouble again?" The woman raised her eyebrows, her delicate eyes glowed with displeasure, and her face was really not good-looking.

Xie Heyong looked at the gray-faced, frightened and embarrassed crowd and said, "Are you the refugees from Zhaotai?"

"Returning to the adults, it's true. The children are really desperate. There has been a severe drought in Renzhou for three consecutive years. Once the seeds are planted, they will disappear and the crops will not be harvested! Originally, the Yamen had disaster relief funds and grain, but it can't be endured

We can't help but suffer from the disasters in the past years. Now, disasters are happening in several places around. There is no way to save Renzhou! Really, there is nothing we can do... It's the young people who are ignorant and have taken over the heads of the two adults.

, please, let us live!"

"Please, sir, let us live!"

"Please, sir, spare us!"

...The sounds of begging for mercy kept coming, and everyone fell to their knees on the ground, kowtowing.

"We are okay, but the elderly and children at home have to eat. They are weak and will starve to death or get sick..." A man said with a bit of gulp.

Chu Xiao frowned and asked, "Then when you fled to Luotai territory, wouldn't you go to Yanzhou to seek help from the Zhizhou Yamen? No matter how bad it was, you could still find a job in Yanzhou territory, so why would you want to be a bandit here?

Act of?!"

After hearing what she said, the leading woman sneered sarcastically, "There was a drought and famine in Renzhou. Many people changed their sons for food, and the people were in dire straits. The officials above us exploited the relief grain and money at every level, and there was very little left in the hands of the magistrate.

She couldn't bear the trouble anymore, so she abandoned her official position and ran away last month, and her whereabouts are unknown."

At this point, she exhaled a breath and continued, "Renzhou is full of hungry people, and everyone is too busy to take care of themselves. These corpses are gathered in one place, the weather is hot, insects, flies, rats and ants are crawling around, so naturally there is an epidemic!

The two adults are all infected now, you see!"

Hearing this, Chu Xiao immediately threw off the rope, covered her mouth and nose with her sleeves, and followed her hand to look towards the forest. Sure enough, she saw more than a dozen people lying down in the forest, all of them looking pale and with pale faces.

A red rash, scratched here and there, rolling all over the floor.

"So, how can Yanzhou be willing to take us in? When we were dozens of meters away from the city gate, someone fired arrows to prevent us from getting closer." The woman slumped on the ground with a wry smile, and shed two lines of tears from the corners of her eyes, "My husband, I

What should we do with our children? What should we people do? Is this life?"

As he said this, everyone sat on the ground and started to cry, with a chorus of lamentations and lamentations.

After a while, the leading woman wiped her face and said bluntly, "We have done such evil things, and we accept it if we fall into your hands. If you want to kill or behead us, please do as you please!"

After saying that, she hugged her son, covered his wet eyes, hugged her husband tightly with her other hand and closed her eyes.

Chu Xiao took a few steps back and dropped the soft sword in his hand to the ground.
