They had only seen such things as cannibalism among the refugees.
Who is a good person willing to eat human flesh, especially the flesh of his own companions?
"Don't you dare?"
Lin Jiao smiled coldly, "As long as you eat him whole, I won't kill you and let you leave Liangzhou safely, how about that?"
The other party looked at Lin Jiao like a devil.
"You...you are simply not human."
"I'm saving your life, you should thank me. If you don't want to eat him, then I have a way to let you leave Liangzhou alive."
Lin Jiao said, and directly asked Xuanfeng to take this person to a separate interrogation room, then tied him to a wooden bed and began to torture him with water drops."
In such a claustrophobic environment, people's senses will be infinitely amplified. Coupled with the water drop torture, few people will survive it.
This is what Lin Jiao learned from a novel before.
Don't know if it's useful.
"You've heard that a drop of water can penetrate a stone."
Lin Jiao adjusted the speed of the water droplets, "I want to see if this water can penetrate the bones on your head."
After Lin Jiao finished speaking, she took Xuanfeng and left the interrogation room.
"Let him watch, don't let the water run out, don't give him too much food, just hang on to his life."
After Lin Jiao gave her instructions, she told Xuanfeng some punishments and quickly left the cell with Jingnuan.
After coming out, Lin Jiao held her hand on the wall and vomited violently.
"Princess, are you okay?"
Jing Nuan looked at Lin Jiao worriedly.
"It's okay. It's a bit uncomfortable for the first time. I'll just take it easy for a while. You can help me get the water hose from the carriage."
Lin Jiao said weakly.
It's not that she's being pretentious, it's really her first time doing this kind of scene
However, Lin Jiao feels that there will be more in the future, so she has to get used to it and work hard to get used to it.
Jingnuan quickly took the water bottle and handed it to Lin Jiao, asking her to rinse her mouth.
"Let Xuanfeng keep an eye on him, that person won't be able to hold on for long."
Lin Jiao ordered after rinsing her mouth.
"Slave, I remember."
Lin Jiao straightened up, calmed down her still uncomfortable stomach, and then got into the carriage.
…
border.
Pei Yuan had just returned with his men to rob some of the enemy's grain and grass, when he heard a message from Fei Ying, saying that Lin Jiao had learned about him asking people to raise grain.
"These useless trash can't even hide this from the princess."
Pei Yuan's face looked a little bad.
His wife had just arrived in Liangzhou and knew no one except Mr. Lin.
Where will she find food?
Everyone was sitting below, shivering and not daring to speak.
"Is there anything else the princess can say?"
Pei Yuan burned the letter and asked the people kneeling below."
"No, the princess just told the prince not to worry. She can completely solve the food issue. You just need to fight with peace of mind."
"How does she solve it?"
Pei Yuan asked.
The people below did not dare to speak.
The princess didn't say anything either.
"I know, let's go down."
Pei Yuan also knew that he couldn't ask. Now that he couldn't go back, he could only wait for Lin Jiao's news to come again.
If possible, he would not want to collect grain from Liangzhou, but now that there is turmoil everywhere, only Liangzhou is the most stable and has the most grain.
It’s impossible to buy food anywhere else now.
"My lord, please calm down. Since the princess has said this, she will definitely find a way."
Xu Mian on the side said softly.
Pei Yuan glanced at him coldly and said nothing.
He is only worried about Lin Jiao now. She is afraid that she will not be able to sleep well at night if she takes over such a big business. She is already thin and cannot rest well. Will her body be able to bear it?
"How long can our current food and grass last?"
Pei Yuan asked.
"With the ones we snatched back this time, we can still last for another twelve days."
Xu Mian said.
Twelve days?
Pei Yuan pursed his lips and said, "I know."
It takes ten days to travel from Liangzhou to the border.
Jiaojiao only has two days left.
Can she really raise enough food to support an army of 300,000 people in two days?
…
Liangzhou.
Early the next morning.
Lin Jiao received the news from Xuanfeng that the man had recruited him.
"Princess, your method is really effective. I followed the method you taught and interrogated the remaining people overnight last night, and three of them were recruited."
Xuanfeng said with some excitement.
The princess's method is so effective, I won't be afraid of being unable to pry open those people's mouths in the future.
"Whose people are they?"
Lin Jiao asked.
"Zhao Qian."
Xuanfeng said: "There is also a Northern Xinjiang person among them. Zhao Qian made a deal with the King of Northern Xinjiang. Zhao Qian had people burn the grain and grass of the border army. Northern Xinjiang took advantage of the king and the others who had no grain and grass, and the soldiers were too hungry to fight. At that time, I wanted to take Liangzhou in one fell swoop."
"They are afraid that the prince will collect grain from Liangzhou, so they want to come to Liangzhou in advance to buy grain, spread rumors, and cause chaos in Liangzhou, so that Liangzhou will not take care of the prince."
After Xuanfeng finished speaking, he looked at Lin Jiao worriedly.
"Princess, the prince's side doesn't have much food and grass. It takes ten days to get to the border from here. You only have two days to raise food and grass. Can you really raise it?"
It's not that Xuanfeng didn't believe in Lin Jiao. If he didn't collect food, no one would be able to do this kind of thing.
Even their princes can't do it.
"Aren't we going to collect food today?"
Lin Jiao smiled and stepped onto the carriage and asked the driver to go directly to Zuixianju.
This is the property of the Lin family. Mr. Lin has already completed the matters that Lin Jiao asked Mr. Lin yesterday. He personally went to the homes of several grain store owners and invited them over.
Seeing Lin Jiao coming, everyone quickly stood up and saluted.
"I invited you here. You don't need to be polite. Please sit down."
Lin Jiao smiled and looked at everyone.
"I wonder why the princess is looking for me?"
A man wearing a golden cotton-padded jacket and looking wealthy asked cautiously.
Mr. Lin said that the princess did not come to them to ask for food today, so they dared to come.
"I'm here to ask you for food, but don't worry, I'm not asking you for food, but I want to discuss with you whether the food in your hands can be sold to people outside Liangzhou?"
After Lin Jiao finished speaking, she glanced at everyone.
Seeing that these people had different expressions, he continued: "You are all the big bosses of Liangzhou Grain Store, so you must be well-informed. I believe you all know what the situation is at the border now.
Your ancestors are from Liangzhou and have lived here all your lives. Do you want to see Liangzhou destroyed and your family destroyed or forced to leave your hometown?"
Everyone shook their heads
Their ancestors have been in Liangzhou for generations, who wants to leave their hometown?
And it's not peaceful at all outside now. I'm afraid I won't live long if I go out.
"Princess, just tell us what you want us to do?"
Someone said, "Although we are all businessmen, we understand that if Liangzhou is gone, we will be nothing."
Everyone nodded along.
Their ancestors have lived in Liangzhou for so many years before they built such a large family business.
If they leave Liangzhou and compete with others for business elsewhere, will the local gangsters let them go?
