Chapter 24 Wait until some more people die

"Pattering..."

The rain beat on the eaves, making a thin sound.

Then, the rainwater dripped along the eaves and fell into puddles, causing another crisp ticking sound.

"clatter……"

A black chess piece landed on the chessboard.

"I heard that today I brought a beauty into Qamdo Mansion." A white-haired old man looked at the middle-aged man opposite and asked.

"Yes, Lord Fu, they are here to investigate the traitors and spies." The middle-aged man nodded and replied.

After saying that, he dropped a white stone on the chessboard.

The white-haired old man hummed, twirling the chess pieces, silently, looking at the chess game.

The pavilion fell into silence, with only the sound of rainwater dripping from the eaves into the puddles.

"Li Tongzhi, when do you think we will start relieving the victims?" The white-haired old man played the black chess piece and looked up at the middle-aged man and asked.

"It's not possible now." Li Tongzhi shook his head slightly and said, "The food allocated to us by the imperial court is too small, and we cannot save so many victims. If we can, the food will be used up soon.

The entire Qamdo Prefecture will fall into civil strife, which is very detrimental to you."

After saying that, he gently dropped a white piece.

The white-haired old man nodded, not surprised by the other party's answer. He put down the chess piece and said slowly: "Then Li Tongzhi, what do you think we should do?"

"My subordinates think that we should wait for a few more people to die outside the city. When they are almost dead, we can open the warehouse to release grain." Li Tongzhi put down the chess piece, with a respectful look on his face, and said: "But don't be too slow, otherwise Dai Yu will be killed."

It will be troublesome if people pay attention.”

"What you said makes sense." The white-haired old man nodded, dropped a sunspot, and said with a smile: "The dragon is done, you lose!"

"Fu Jun is good at chess." Li Tongzhi looked amazed.

"Hahaha..." The white-haired old man laughed and said: "I am very happy to play chess with you today. You should go back early. The weather is very cold, don't catch a cold."

"Master Xie Fujun."

…………

It rained very long tonight.

Chu Zheng has discovered that some of the refugees next door have a high fever and will probably die soon.

The weather is getting colder and colder.

Chu Zheng was sitting by the campfire, feeling a little regretful.

If he had known that he would have brought some daily necessities with him when he was in the forbidden world, he would not be in such a predicament now.

The current meat can only last three or four days at most.

That wolf, now that I think about it, is still a little thin.

"Da da da da..." Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves came from a distance.

When Chu Zheng heard the sound of horse hoofbeats, he immediately woke up. Looking outside, he saw a man riding a tall horse, galloping in the rain.

The rainwater splashed on the ground, forming a beautiful scenery.

Then, there was another series of hoofbeats, and a group of people on horseback rushed out of the rain.

Chu Zheng noticed that the people chasing him were the same group of beauties during the day.

Daiyuren means a person with jade.

Jade was a valuable item in the Liang Kingdom and could not be worn casually except by distinguished people.

The person with the beauty is a special case.

Because they were the emperor's eyes and ears, they were formerly known as the Gongwei Division established by Taizu. They were authorized to bring jade, and were later named jade-wielding people. They were engaged in a series of tasks such as investigation, arrest, interrogation, and military intelligence collection.

This department belongs directly to the emperor and is directly responsible to the emperor.

It is similar to the Ming Dynasty Jin Yiwei that Chu Zheng is familiar with.

It's just that the power exercised is greater.

Because Chu Zheng knew from the memory of his predecessor that the beauties in this area not only had to manage the internal affairs, but also the world.

The collapse of many sects is said to be related to the beauty queen.

So much so that the name of a beautiful woman can stop a child from crying.

After a while, this group of people disappeared into the darkness.

The refugee riots also calmed down.

"Chu Zheng." At this moment, Ma Yong walked up to Chu Zheng and whispered: "I just heard that someone has a way to enter Qamdo. Each person only needs two hundred copper coins."

Hearing his words, Chu Zheng frowned slightly, "How did that person let people in?"

No wonder he didn't believe it. The whole city of Qamdo was now under martial law.

Trying to sneak in is no different from attacking the city from within.

How can something like this be so simple?

"The man didn't say anything. He just said he would let us in after paying the money," Ma Yong said.

After hearing his words, Chu Zheng shook his head, "Brother Ma, I don't think this kind of thing is that easy. I advise you not to trust others easily."

"This..." Ma Yong showed hesitation on his face.

When Chu Zheng saw him like that, he didn't persuade him.

Everyone has his own choice, and he can't force it.

"Da da..." At this moment, a burst of footsteps suddenly sounded outside the house.

Immediately afterwards, a man wearing a raincoat walked to the shed.

This man had a long knife on him and was staring at Chu Zheng and the two.

Chu's face didn't change, and his hand quietly touched the iron piece.

"I'm here to take shelter from the rain, can you two make it a convenience?" the man outside asked hoarsely.

"It's inconvenient because there are women in the house." Chu Zheng responded with cold eyes.

Hearing this, the man stood at the door for a moment, nodded, and walked to other shacks.

Chu Zheng pursed his lips, sweat dripping from his forehead.

The person just now had a very strong aura. If he guessed correctly, he should be a top-notch warrior.

If there is a head-on conflict, he is no match for the other party.

"Dong dong dong..." At this moment, the sound of horse hooves came.

Not long after, more than a dozen knights surrounded the shack here, and a chilling atmosphere enveloped the place.

This was also the first time that Chu Zheng saw the intimidation of the cavalry.

The refugees present were completely scared to death.

"What a handsome horse!" Chu Zheng's eyes widened when he saw these people's horses.

These horses are all pure black, with no trace of color in their fur. Their heads and heads are nearly two meters tall, and their muscles are tangled. Rain falls on the horses, and the muscles on these horses tremble from time to time to shake off the rain.

"Everybody come out!" someone shouted.

At this time, Chu Zheng discovered that Chen Ming, the beautician of Baihu who called the door before, rode out. With a pair of eagle-like eyes, he stared coldly at the people in the field.

The refugees in the field had never seen this formation before, and they slowly walked out.

"Crack!"

Suddenly, a man was thrown off the horse.

The man fell into the muddy water, like a puddle of mud.

"Tell me, who is your superior?" Someone picked up a riding crop and whipped it at the person on the ground.

"ah!!!"

The man was sore from the whipping that he struggled to get up in the mud and water, and then looked at the people in the field.

Then he trembled and looked at a celebrity, then shook his head and said in a hoarse voice: "He is not here."

"Trouble." Chu Zheng felt a little cold in his heart when he heard this.

I recommended it, but the results were not very good.

There were a total of thirteen books in the same period, ranking tenth.

Maybe this subject is too niche and not many people like it.

I hope everyone will read it more and give more motivation to the North and the South.

Ang! I will work hard!
