When the officer saw that the evil deeds he had done were discovered by Hu Shian, he immediately knelt down and begged for mercy, and argued: "General, this is not what I did, please spare my life!"

"Go to die!" Hu Shian was furious and waved his sword to cut off the man's head, sending his sinful soul to hell.

After Pei Xiaoer entered the town, he saw Hu Shian covered in blood and walked out of the house, looking like a god of killing. He sighed and comforted him softly. Seeing that Hu Shian had no change, he had to give up. Sometimes men need to lick their wounds silently while alone.

Under Wang Cong's guidance, Pei Xiaoer found the food hidden by the palm plate of Qian, which was not much, only about two or three thousand stones. However, Pei Xiaoer was very curious. How could he save so much food among the refugees who were about to starve to death?

Pei Xiaoer asked Wang Cong on the side.

Wang Cong smiled bitterly and said, "General, if I tell you that these grains are from the Fan family in the city, do you believe it or not?"

"Oh? Tell me."

"This group of refugees came to Jiexiu one after another about a month ago. Moreover, the reasons for wandering away from home are similar. They are all because the rebels attacked and killed near Taiyuan, causing the people to live in poverty. Everyone could not survive at home, so they could only come out with the little money they had.

Later, there was a news that Fan Yongdou, the head of the Jiexiu family, was kind and generous to Jiexiu to help the victims, so everyone gathered around again. At first, the Fan family would open a porridge factory, and everyone would eat porridge here. Later, as more and more people, the Fan family opened a porridge shed less and less, and the porridge became thinner and thinner, and then there was nothing at all.

Later, due to the small grain and the large number of people, the refugees fought to fight for a bite. Qian Zhangpanzi took his martial arts children and controlled the entire refugees with his martial arts skills.

Afterwards, the Fan family secretly sent people out to discuss with Qian Zhangpang. The Fan family gave out the grain, Qian Zhangpangpang and sold it among the refugees. However, the price was very high, and the little gold and silver that the refugees carried with them were quickly consumed. After that, they could only sell their children to their daughters. After the children were sold, they would sell their wives. In the end, they would sell themselves as slaves when they had nothing."

Listening to Wang Cong's narration, Pei Xiaoer felt more and more like the Great Ying was causing the triangular slave trade. No wonder there were a large number of slaves in Huqi Mountain, and one group was exhausted and another group, like wild grass, which could not be burned out by wild fire, and the spring breeze blew, and it turned out that the root was here.

Pei Xiaoer originally thought that since he came to this world, he had seen enough darkness in human nature, but he did not expect that the Fan family's approach once again refreshed his understanding of the bottom line of human nature.

"Then according to what you said, why did Qian Zhangpanzi suddenly lead his army to attack Jiexiu?" Pei Xiaoer asked.

"This is because of the food problem. I have heard Qian Zhangpanzi discuss with the Fan family manager. The Fan family manager said that in the city, the Fan family's food is extremely tight now, and there is not so much food for the outside.

We are asked to attack Jiexiu outside the city and force the big families in the city to donate their food to alleviate their food crisis. But there is one thing I don’t know yet. It is said that the Fan family owns 10,000 mu of fertile land. Even if the year is not good, they should not lack food."

What else can be the reason? Wang Cong didn't know what the reason was. Pei Xiaoer knew. The year's season was not good, let alone outside the pass. It was not as good as the situation inside the pass. The Fan family's food was probably sent outside the pass to support their master. However, Wang Cong didn't need to know about this kind of thing.

In addition, this time, the Fan Fan family cavalry took the initiative to attack the city. It seems that the wealthy families in the city could not withstand the pressure and had already donated food to the government.

After knowing the whole story, Pei Xiaoer looked at the three thousand stones of food in front of him and fell into deep thought.

After a long time, Pei Xiaoer called Hu Shi'an beside him. Hu Shi'an had returned to normal at this moment. Pei Xiaoer secretly called out his performance, "Go and send someone to move out all the food here and distribute it to the refugees outside, so that the refugees outside could have a full meal before talking about it."

"Yes." Hu Shian left with his fists.

Not long after, the big pot in the refugee camp was raised and fragrant and thick porridge was cooked. In addition, two horses died in this battle, chopped them up and put them into the porridge. With the various wild vegetables picked up by some people, it smelled very encouraging.

The refugees could smell the smell of meat porridge from afar, and their greedy saliva was about to flow out. They hadn't smelled the smell of meat for a long time.

The refugees surrounded the porridge factory, watching from afar but did not dare to approach. Suddenly, a big man shouted at the top of his voice: "It's time to serve porridge, people who want to drink porridge are coming to queue up."

Hearing this, the refugees rushed forward and almost overturned the porridge factory. Song Meng quickly sent someone to maintain order on the scene. Under a crackling stick, the refugees finally learned what queuing means.

Each person has a spoonful of porridge, which is very efficient. He said he would give a spoonful of porridge, but it was not because Pei Xiaoer was a little sensible and reluctant to let the refugees eat enough. On the contrary, Pei Xiaoer was worried that these people had not had a full meal for too long, and suddenly let them eat meat porridge, he was worried that they would be able to survive.

The refugees held the steaming meat porridge in their hands, and burst into tears with excitement. Some people knelt down to Pei Xiaoer and shouted loudly that the Living Bodhisattva was alive.

After eating the porridge, the energy of the refugees recovered slightly and they were more willing to cooperate with the instructions of the Pei family army. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Pei Xiaoer gathered all the refugees together and sent someone to count the number of refugees, and then he found out that the total number of refugees was 40,000.

Pei Xiaoer divided the 40,000 people into four battalions. Each battalion sent an officer from the Pei family army as the commander to garrison the four walls of Jiexiu and surrounded the entire Jiexiu. Pei Xiaoer did not expect any important role these refugees could do. All he wanted was to send someone to notify him when someone broke through the siege in Jiexiu.

Just as Pei Xiaoer outside the city was rectifying the refugee camp, the Fan family cavalry team in the city was in charge, but they were still frightened. Obviously, the lightning-like charge of the Pei family cavalry really scared him.

Fan Shizhe kept guarding the city tower, watching his cavalry win first and then lose. A total of 3,000 cavalry returned with great momentum, but only two thousand people fled back. The remaining 1,000 people were thrown directly to the bandits outside the city, making him furious. Seeing that the cavalry's manager was still limping there like a soft-footed shrimp, Fan Shizhe was immediately angry and immediately ordered the removal of his cavalry's manager's job.

The cavalry manager hurriedly knelt down and pleaded with Fan Shizhe. However, Fan Shizhe had already determined to take down this incompetent person, even if this person was his nephew, he would not hesitate.

The magistrate of Jiexiu Long Wenguang, seeing that Fan Shizhe had finished his own affairs, came over and asked, "Brother Fan, do you have a good idea for the sake of this plan?"

Long Wenguang is naturally a member of the Fan family. Long Wenguang, who was able to be the magistrate of the Fan family's nest, had naturally been fed by the Fan family and put on a pair of pants with the Fan family.

In fact, Long Wenguang is actually quite good in nature. He is diligent in government affairs and devotes himself to the people. At least he has extremely keen insight into case-based judgments. His only disadvantage may be that he is a little greedy for money. However, these days, he is not greedy for money, but instead he is an alien.

"Minister Long, for the current plan, I think there is only one way to ask for help."

"But now, Governor Xuanda and Governor Shanxi have been staying in Taiyuan, so where can we have troops to save us Jiexiu?" Long Wenguang said as Governor Xuanda and Governor Shanxi, but his eyes were staring at Fan Shizhe, and the meaning was obvious without asking.

Fan Shizhe understood what he meant, wasn’t he just asking him to ask the head of the Fan family for help? He hoped that the officers and soldiers would come and that it would be better to expect meteorites to fall directly from the sky and kill all the bandits.

Fan Shizhe hesitated for a moment and agreed. He and Long Wenguang are now on the same rope. Once Jie Xiu is broken, Long Wenguang is certainly guilty, but Fan Shizhe probably won't survive.

"Okay, let me write a letter to my head of the Fan family and ask him to send his clan's servants to rescue Jiexiu. We only need to hold on for a while. When my Fan family arrives, we will be able to escape Jiexiu's siege."

"In this way, I will thank the Fan family for hundreds of thousands of people in Jiexiu." Long Wenguang took two steps back and respectfully bowed to Fan Shizhe.

Fan Shizhe understood the rules very well and quickly stepped forward to help Long Wenguang up. No matter how powerful the Fan family is, at least Long Wenguang is the magistrate of Jiexiu appointed by the court, so the necessary respect should be given to him.
