Chapter 260 260: Departure 【Ask for a monthly ticket】

"This king, Zheng Zhi, really lives up to his name."

Shen Tang has always disliked judging a person through wind reviews, but the Zheng brothers are definitely an exception.

Zheng Qiao and Zheng Zhi are truly blood brothers.

The two are essentially the same breed.

Zheng Qiao condoned the soldiers to burn, kill and loot, and Zheng Zhi also condoned the livestock under his tent to run wild everywhere, robbing people of food, robbing people's property, killing people's lives, money [people] wives and daughters. The sergeants killed and beheaded with white knives, all unarmed ordinary people. They killed so hard that the knives curled up, and the ravines outside the city were filled with corpses, and the stench of corpses rose to the sky.

Looking at the piled up corpses, Shen Tang's complexion was darker than ever before, with murderous aura lingering all over his body, he wished to raise his sword and kill all the murderers!

The rebels withdrew, but did not forget to set fire to the houses of the people.

The flames soared into the sky, dyeing the sky red!

Black smoke spreads on the floor, chickens and dogs are silent!

Is this the end?

No, it's not over yet!

Shen Tang went to a meeting, and heard that the ancestral graves of wealthy households that had been looted were all dug up, and bones were randomly thrown into the wilderness. If someone stopped them, they would all be killed. Although planing people's ancestral graves is also one of the ways to earn money from marching and fighting, it is rare for people to not even cover up a piece of fig leaf in broad daylight.

All the members of the Alliance Army slapped the table and scolded their mothers, spitting all over the place.

It seems that they were the ones who were dug up.

Gu Chi curled his lips secretly—as long as the brothers of the Zheng family are individuals, it's not their turn to jump up and down.

He leaned closer and asked, "How is Shen Lang going?"

The rebels everywhere crossed the border like locusts. They patted their buttocks and left, leaving a mess that no one took care of, and the Union Army didn't want to take over. Everyone agreed not to mention it.

Shen Tang pondered: "Do your best."

After speaking, continue to bow your head and drink tea.

Relying on drinking tea until the end of today's meeting, everyone left in twos and threes, but Shen Tang sat in his seat without moving.

Leader Wu Xian saw this and asked, "Brother Shen Xian?"

Shen Tang went straight to the point, straight to the point.

Ask leader Wu Xian how to resettle the surviving people.

"They have no food, no money, and no shelter. Once I leave, I'm afraid I will be targeted by bandits and I won't be able to survive."

Leader Wu Xian was heartbroken, with a smile on his face: "Brother Shen Xian, don't worry, send someone for the brotherhood to come up with the regulations as soon as possible."

Shen Tang is a poor bachelor, barefoot is not afraid of wearing shoes, but Wu Xianmeng's family has a big business, financial resources, material resources and manpower are far superior to everyone. On the whole, it is best for him to take over. Even if the Alliance Army engages in "crowdfunding", leader Wu Xian will inevitably suffer a big blow.

Shen Tang asked: "How soon?"

Leader Wu Xian: "..."

The smile on his face became more and more embarrassed.

He hesitated: "Well, it will take a few days."

He said: "Don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry."

Shen Tang broke the casserole and asked the end.

"How many days is it?"

Leader Wu Xian: "..."

He doubted whether Shen Tang was really stupid or fake.

Didn't it appear that no one wants to pick up this hot potato?

It's not that these people are unsympathetic.

But intentionally powerless.

War is the most expensive activity.

Leader Wu Xian also came here because of the profit (the national seal), but now he wants the national seal but no national seal, food and grass but no food and grass, only the so-called "military merit". The key is that this "military merit" can only be realized by looking for Zheng Qiao, who is losing money every day when he opens his eyes.

It’s not that I can’t afford it…

But that little family business can't afford extravagance.

The leader of Wu Xian is under so much pressure, let alone the leaders of other small forces? They pulled people out to fight, and they already had so many mouths. If they come in another batch, won't they be poor?

These people who survived are mostly old and weak women and children who survived by luck.

Productivity is far less than young and strong, and it is a burden to accept it.

So everyone tacitly agreed not to mention this.

Who knew Shen Tang, a stunned young man, would bring it up.

Wu Xianmeng smiled on the main face.

Secretly, I have started to have a headache.

Shen Tang sighed: "Is there any difficulty for the leader?"

Leader Wu Xian climbed up the pole and began to sell miserably—Shen Tang had only two hundred people under his tent, so there was no pressure at all to support such a small number of people, but the mouth of his own tent was made of "ten thousand" Unit, the economic pressure is not an order of magnitude.

Summarize-

"It must be Brother Yu who refuses, and there is really nothing I can do to help." Leader Wu Xian was also worried that Shen Tang would bring it up in front of everyone next time and offend a large number of people, so he deliberately reminded, "It's okay for Brother Shen to say something to Brother Yu. But if other caring people find out, they will easily be hated..."

Shen Tang shook his head: "That's not what I meant."

Leader Wu Xian raised his eyebrows in his heart, he didn't know why, so he carefully asked Shen Tang tentatively: "Then, what does Brother Shen mean..."

Shen Tang: "Leave all these people to me."

Leader Wu Xian and Gu Chi looked at her in shock.

The former was worried that Shen Tang didn't know the seriousness, so he persuaded him: "Xiang Shen, do you know how many people are there? Three or four thousand old and weak women and children! They can't go to the battlefield like young and strong, and they can't farm like young people. It is a waste of food to go there !"

The latter looked at her with worried eyes.

Shen Tang said lightly: "I know."

Leader Wu Xian repeatedly confirmed with Shen Tang: "You know?"

Shen Tang: "Yes."

Leader Wu Xian asked again: "Do you know the importance?"

Shen Tang said: "Yes."

The leader of Wu Xian is not optimistic, he knows how many Shen Tang's families are - that day Lili led more than a hundred people, pushing a cart and a small cart to drive a group of chubby pigs, that little wealth is for more than a hundred people You can live well, but with the addition of three or four thousand old and weak women and children who don't have to give birth, you can only live for half a month!

After half a month, what should I do?

He sighed: "Let Brother Yu think again."

Someone jumped out to pick up this mess that no one picked up, and he had no reason to refuse, but he couldn't push it out just by himself, especially when this person was Shen Tang. Shen Tang is still young, and outsiders who don't know it will think that he is black-hearted and deceiving others.

Leaving the tent, Gu Chi said: "Shen Lang is being reckless, this matter should be discussed with Qi Yuanliang, Chu Wuhui and the others..."

Shen Tang said: "Do what you think is right."

Gu Chi let out a "huh" in confusion.

Shen Tang said with a smile: "I think what I did was right, so I did it. Even if I discuss with Yuanliang and the others, I will stick to my opinion. That's what I told Xiao Linfeng a few days ago, I should give She sets a good example."

Gu Chi: "How to solve the problem of food?"

Shen Tang pointed to himself: "Have you forgotten my speech?"

Gu Chi naturally did not forget.

only-

Shen Tang can't supply all of them.

It's not a problem either.

Furthermore-

Gu Chi couldn't help pouring cold water on Shen Tang: "Not everyone is willing to go with you. Some people would rather stick to their homeland than leave it, let alone a place as chaotic and dangerous as He Yin. Shen Lang can Be mentally prepared."

Shen Tang waved his hand casually: "I know."

She is just a walking cake, not a walking gold and silver jewel, and no one cares about her.

"Could Shen Lang think about how to persuade Qi Yuanliang and the others?"

Gu Chi had a premonition.

If Qi Shan knew about this, he would probably be blamed.

Shen Tang was in high spirits: "Isn't this simple?"

She has a skill in fooling Qishan and Chu Yao.

The reason is ready-made - if she wants to leave these people, she has a reason to leave the Alliance Army ahead of time and go to Heyin to settle down, and it is difficult for the Alliance Army to speak out to stop her. Afterwards, he only needs to wait for Gu Ren to recommend him, and He Yin will be included in the bag logically.

otherwise-

What excuse did Shen Tang use to leave early?

Even if she wanted to leave, the Alliance Army might not be willing to let her go easily—they were also afraid that Gong Xichou would lead their troops to kill her.

This matter came to a conclusion the next day.

During the meeting, leader Wu Xian brought this matter up and asked everyone for their opinions. Although no one wanted these three or four thousand people, they were rescued by the alliance army in name. The army agreed unanimously.

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

Looked at Shen Tang one after another, some admired, some were surprised, some looked foolish, and some were puzzled.

What is the picture?

These three or four thousand drags will cook and shit?

Someone tactfully reminded Shen Tang that it would cost a lot of money to accept these people. If the family is not rich enough, it is better not to take it too hard.

They thought that Shen Tang had swollen his face to pretend to be fat.

If Shen Tang had a family background, he wouldn't have two or three hundred people at his disposal. Don't look back and can't afford to support these people. If you make trouble, you will ruin your reputation. The gain outweighs the loss.

Shen Tang responded to these voices one by one.

"The next family has a little money, so it's not a problem to grit your teeth and survive for two or three months. I also plan to borrow some food and grass from everyone. As long as I last until next year's spring plowing, it will be slowed down..."

Everyone: "..."

Leader Wu Xian: "..."

They had to suspect that the real purpose of Shen Tang asking these people was to use this as an excuse to borrow food from them. Everyone suddenly had the illusion that they fed the dog with good intentions - they were worried that Shen Tang's family was not rich enough, and Shen Tang was staring at their granary? ? ?

Is there anyone? ? ?

The atmosphere fell into a strange state for a while.

It wasn't until Gu Ren made a sound that he broke it.

He said: "Although Gu's family is not well-off, but he really admires Master Shen's compassion and is willing to lend two hundred stones of food and grass."

Others were reminded and spoke up one after another.

Instead of waiting for Shen Tang to come to the door and "lion's big mouth", it is better to be generous. The size of the number is up to you, and it is not easy for Shen Tang to speak again. You gather a little, I gather a little, it's more or less a wish.

Shen Tang asked Qishan to help me write it down.

Turn around and deliver the IOU to your door.

After this matter was settled, Shen Tang took advantage of the situation and proposed to take people to Heyin in advance. The reason was ready-made - the rebel army of King Zhu had completely withdrawn from Sibao County, and there was no sign of returning. The situation gradually stabilized, and it was meaningless for him to stay Not too big.

Leader Wu Xian frowned and asked, "So urgent?"

Shen Tang sighed sadly.

She didn't want to either.

But with so many old and weak women and children, it is not suitable for the army at all, it will only drag the army down. Furthermore, the situation on He Yin's side was not good, so he had to go there as soon as possible to check the situation, stabilize it, and race against time so as not to miss the spring plowing.

If Chun Plowing is missed and there is no harvest for a year, she can't continue to be cheeky and ask the big guys to borrow food to live?

Leader Wu Xian was dumbfounded upon hearing this.

Shen Tang's reason is indeed well-founded.

If you continue to insist, it will appear that you have ulterior motives.

At this point, the Union Army had to let people go.

But what—

The big guys have been fighting side by side for a month at least, and Shen Tang left early, so there should be a practical banquet for him.

As for saying goodbye sincerely, or using Shen Tang as an excuse to throw a banquet for fun, it is estimated that only they and Gu Chi know.

Gu Chi heard Shen Tang complaining inwardly.

smiled and said: "Shen Lang wants to know?"

Shen Tang bit the bullet: "No, I don't want to know."

All plastic flowers for friendship, true and false can be seen at a glance.

She doesn't want to make fun of herself.

The crowd dispersed, Qin Li was thoughtful.

Leader Wu Xian turned his head and saw that his confidant was frowning, and asked with concern: "Does Qin Qing have something to worry about?"

Qin Li said: "It's not quite right."

"Something not right?"

Qin Li had an expression of "I can't figure it out": "When did Qi Yuanliang change his taste? Did he find such a sincere, simple, kind and enthusiastic landlord? Didn't everyone say that 'like things gather together and people are divided into groups'?" Qi Yuanliang gets along so well with someone..."

It's thankless to accept these old and weak women and children, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like Qi Yuanliang's behavior style.

If something goes wrong, there must be a demon!

Listening to Qin Li muttering and praying for good every day, leader Wu Xian laughed loudly: "Qin Qing, you have been bitten by snakes for ten years and are afraid of well ropes. Brother Shen Xian is young, what complicated thoughts can he have? You are a young man, always That's it. The younger you are, the less you are afraid of things, you are a hero in righteousness, you are full of blood and courage, and you don't want to see the old and weak, women and children suffer in front of your eyes..."

He agrees that praying for kindness is not a kindness.

But what Shen Tang said...

This young gentleman is indeed a kind person.

If it weren't for this, he wouldn't have risked time and time again to save people from Gong Xichou knowing that Gong Xichou was a formidable enemy.

Because Shen Tang rescued Zhao Feng, leader Wu Xian's favorability towards her remained high, but Qin Li couldn't dispel his doubts so easily, he always felt that something was wrong. Leader Wu Xian had no choice but to say: "Qin Qing, don't worry, Dayi will follow them to He Yin."

If something is wrong, Zhao Feng will reply.

When Qin Li heard the words, he could only temporarily suppress his discomfort.

Nodding: "Yes."

When Shen Tang returned, he stamped the IOU with his Wenxin monogram, and then asked Chu Yao and the others to send the IOU over and bring the grain back along the way. It is estimated that the work will be completed in two or three days, and then we will start our journey.

This is a big deal.

Yang Duwei, who was recovering from his injuries, also heard it.

He looked at Shen Tang in surprise, as if he didn't know her overnight, and his expression was a little awkward.

"Why are you doing this?"

Shen Tang was puzzled: "This is not good?"

Yang Duwei: "It's thankless."

His feelings towards Shen Tang are very complicated.

There is hatred, there is admiration, there is appreciation...

Shen Tang robbed tax money and killed many sergeants in his account, but the rest of the sergeants depended on Shen Tang to survive, even his own life - although he was alone, living would be better than dying, but now he Indeed alive.

Yang Duwei has a personal moral disadvantage, but the integrity is unambiguous.

Enmity is enmity, grace is grace.

He can tell the difference clearly.

also knew the financial distress that Shen Tang would face.

He sighed: "That batch of tax money should be able to slow down for a while. If it is still insufficient, my old face still has some weight. Although I have offended many people over the years, I also have some old friendships, and I can get my old face out of their hands." A batch of aid was borrowed."
