Chapter 694 Immigrants (Part 2)

Although the cavalry in the lead was exactly the same as the cavalry next to him, he did not carry the long musket.

Moreover, the people around and the Jiaming officers also felt that the momentum of the cavalry was completely different from that of the cavalry. The cavalry next to them revealed indifference, ruthlessness and iron blood.

In addition to iron blood, this person revealed a strong majesty of a superior. The aura of being uneven and powerful makes people feel palpitations at a glance.

After so many years of working in the yamen, these servants had already developed a pair of faces that were observing their expressions. They recognized this familiar aura as their common official power. However, compared with their prefect, this official power was much greater.

Needless to say, this person is definitely an amazing figure.

The horse-faced servant had already put away the whip in his hand, and the cruel and arrogant look that had just whipped the mother and daughter had long disappeared.

He smiled and said, "It's so good for this adult to learn that these two mud legs are lazy and refuse to walk. Only then did the villain punish them and teach them some rules."

"A little punishment?" The person who came moved his mouth and suddenly felt an indescribable coldness: "If we don't come, your so-called "a little punishment" may kill them. If it is severely punished, wouldn't they be dismembered?"

He was very dissatisfied when he heard the other person's tone. The horse-faced man secretly cried out in his heart. He glanced around, but found that his colleagues around him were either pretending to be busy or turned around to look elsewhere.

He also knew that in addition to his poor relationship with his colleagues on weekdays, his behavior just now must have made many people uncomfortable, so he deliberately wanted to make himself suffer.

The smile on his face, which was secretly hated in his heart, did not weaken at all, but became even stronger.

"Sir, it's not that villains are cruel, but that these mud legs are like this. If you whip them from time to time, they will definitely make trouble for you, so villains also want to kill and warn you."

“Hahaha… OK…”

The person who came laughed and said a few good things.

"You said it well, kill one to warn a hundred, this reason is really good!"

Listening to the angry laughter of the person coming, the horse face difference immediately thought that something was wrong. Just as he was about to beg for mercy, he heard the person shouting loudly.

"Come..."

"exist……"

Suddenly, several knights dismounted and agreed in unison.

"Catch this vicious guy up and tie it to the tree next to me."

"Here!"

Several knights responded and rushed over immediately. The leader kicked the horse-faced officer's knee bend. Before the horse-faced officer could react, they knelt down.

Then the two cavalry went forward without saying a word and twisted his arm to the big tree next to him, untied the belt of the horse-faced officer and tied him to the tree.

The horse-faced servant tied to a tree was shocked and scared, and shouted loudly, "Sir, what mistake did the young man make? You actually treat the villain like this. The young man is a servant in Shanxi and is not under the jurisdiction of your Fujian government. Why do you deal with the villain? The villain is not convinced!"

"Don't accept it!"

The person who came sneered.

"My surname is Yang and Feng, and he is the Grand Governor of the South whom ordered by His Majesty. Do you think I have the right to deal with you as a villain?"

"What... is Jiangning Hou?"

"Will Jiangning Hou be in time?"

Whether it was the people on the road or the servants around him, they were all shocked when they heard Yang Feng's name. You should know that Yang Feng's name has long been known to everyone in the Ming Dynasty.

The people who were originally numb on the road showed a moving expression on their faces for the first time, and the officers were all stunned.

As people who eat imperial grain, they certainly know more than ordinary people how much energy the person standing in front of them has.

With Yang Feng's power, let alone dealing with the Mama-faced servants, even if they kill all of them, no one would say a word for them.

Although they are so powerful that they are escorting the migrant people who are escorted by them all the way, they are just a group of insignificant officials and clerks in front of those officials. It is only a matter of one word to kill them.

Even a county magistrate could deal with them at will, let alone the top important officials of the Ming Dynasty who held heavy troops like Yang Feng.

Yang Feng glanced at the servants coldly, then walked to the mother and daughter who were still lying on the ground and moaning, and helped the mother and daughter up first.

At this time, the mother and daughter were hungry and cold all the way and were beaten to death. Not only was she dying, but there was also a sour smell sensation that rushed straight into his nose.

But at this time, I didn't care about so much. Looking at the two people who were breathing weakly, Yang Feng frowned.

He could see that in addition to the injuries on his body, the mother and daughter were also too weak.

The mother and daughter who were helped up by Yang Feng slowly woke up. Looking at Yang Feng who helped them up, the mother struggled to sit up, with a look of shame and fear, and repeatedly said: "The young girl dare not help her. Please stay away from the young girl, otherwise it may be detrimental to the adults."

Seeing her struggling repeatedly, Yang Feng let go of his hand helplessly and asked aloofly: "What do you call this elder sister? Where are you from? How long have you been on the road?"

The mother whispered: "I dare not ask for help. The daughter of Zhang Liang is from Datong, Shanxi. A few days ago, the government said that the court would move a group of people to Taiwan.

The husband and mother-in-law of the folk girl were originally unwilling, and most of the neighbors around her were unwilling. After all, after the imperial court issued drought-tolerant crops such as corn, potatoes, and sweet potatoes, the people have more life, and at least they can get enough food and clothing. After all, who would be willing to leave their hometown if they have stutters?

But when the government saw that no one was willing to go, it sent someone to draw lots of the village. All the families who were drawn must be included in the migration ranks. The family of the young woman was not lucky, but was drawn.

So the husband of the young lady sold the two acres of thin land and house in his family and followed the villagers who were drawn in to Fujian. However, along the way, these evil officials made a name to constantly plunder the villagers' property. After more than a month, all the property of the young lady's family was plundered by these evil officials.

What's even more excessive is that after the property of the young woman was plundered, these evil officials never gave the young woman a food to her family again. Occasionally, they would give one or two wild vegetable dumplings, and even this way, they often ate one and one hungry meal.

The young lady could only dig the roots and grass all the way. The young lady's husband and mother-in-law were tired and hungry all the way, and finally got sick again. The young lady thought she would go downstairs with her daughter to see her husband and mother-in-law today, but she never thought she was still alive…”

Speaking of this, tears slowly flowed from Zhang Liang's thin face.

Yang Feng turned his head and asked the people around him, "Is what Zhang Liang said true?"

The people around him looked at each other and nodded.

"Mr. Marquis clearly understands that everything Zhang Liang said is true. Caomin and others have been exploited by these evil officials all the way. After they have used up the silver they have on their bodies, they will no longer pay attention to Caomin and others, and they will not even give food. If there are more days, Caomin and others will probably starve to death on the road."

“Okay…”

A terrifying light appeared in Yang Feng's eyes. It was his proposal to the court that he made to the court when migrating people from Shanxi, Shaanxi and other places.

Because with the continued climate of the Little Glacier, the grain production in the north of the Ming Dynasty continued to decrease, and coupled with the exploitation of landlords and evil gentry in various places, the lives of the people became increasingly difficult.

Although with the influx of high-yield seeds brought from modern society in recent years, the famine that originally existed in the history of the Ming Dynasty has been alleviated.

But the powerful inertia of history still played a role, and bandits such as Gao Yingxiang and Zhang Xianzhong still appeared. Therefore, in order to prevent problems, Yang Feng still proposed that the court immigrate about 300,000 Shaanxi and Shaanxi to Taiwan.

After discussing with the cabinet, Zhu Youxiao agreed to the proposal and allocated one million taels of silver from the treasury and the Ministry of Revenue as relocation fee. However, this horrifying thing still happened.

Yang Feng thought again that this was just the first batch of immigrants. If he hadn't discovered it in time, he would not have known how many miserable things would have happened next.

Resisting the murderous intent in his heart, Yang Feng took out two pieces of black chocolate from his arms, peeled off the wrapping paper, stuffed the two pieces of chocolate into their hands and whispered: "Sister, little girl, don't be afraid, that evil man has been arrested by me, and he will never hit you again. Now you eat this thing, it will be good for your health."

Zhang Liang and Da Ya looked at the black chocolate in their hands. Da Ya tried to lick it with her tongue, and a bitter and sweet smell suddenly came into the tongue coating. Her eyes, which were so painful that she couldn't open her eyes, suddenly lit up. She held the chocolate and said to Zhang Liang, "Mom... it's so sweet. You can try it too. After eating it, your body will not hurt."

Zhang Liang looked at his daughter in his arms and a heartache flashed by.

She forced a smile and said, "Be good, you eat it yourself. Mom doesn't want to eat it yet."

Da Ya was young, and she didn't know that Zhang Liang lied to her and ate it happily with the chocolate. It was just the first time in her life that she had such a delicious food, and she couldn't bear to eat it all at once.

She broke the chocolate into two pieces and put half into her pocket. Then she stuck out her tongue and slowly licked the remaining half, with an unconcealed smile on her face.

Yang Feng looked at Da Ya's thin little face and felt a sourness in his heart inexplicably, but what followed was an unconcealed murderous intent.

I saw him say coldly: "Song Ye!"

"Here!"

Song Ye responded aside.

Yang Feng pointed to the horse-faced servant tied to a tree and said, "Put it hard. Don't he like to hit people with whips? If you ask me to whip a hundred whips, I want to see if he can survive."

"clear!"

Soon, accompanied by loud whiplashes, bursts of terrible cry came.
