Only a mile or two outside the city, Huang Xiaoshi saw smoke from cooking in the woods next to the village road.
Getting closer, Huang Xiaoshi saw the shacks built haphazardly in the woods.
When Huang Xiaoshi walked outside the camp in the woods, he saw a large group of ragged but relatively clean people busy around.
"That's them!" the doorman pointed at the group of people and shouted loudly.
As Huang Xiaoshi guessed, these are foreign refugees from outside.
Huang Xiaoshi casually broke off a long branch from a tree on the side of the road, and then he walked crookedly over alone.
I saw Huang Xiaoshi walking over. Although the eyes of these refugees were wary, Huang Xiaoshi's aura was a bit strong.
This is the temperament that Huang Xiaoshi has developed during his many years of wandering around the countryside. He has the words "not to be trifled with" written all over his body. He just came here by himself, and no one dared to stop him.
Huang Xiaoshi walked to the burning bonfire in the middle of the camp. On top of the bonfire was a large pot that was emitting aroma and heat. Huang Xiaoshi walked to the big pot and kicked over the dozens of kilograms of pot with a flying kick.
Already.
Bang.
The pot full of cooked rice and vegetables fell onto the floor.
"Quack, quack, quack!"
A big man was muttering something unknown. He just rushed up from the side and wanted to teach Huang Xiaoshi a lesson. Huang Xiaoshi casually slapped a branch on him, knocking him to his knees.
When Huang Xiaoshi made such a move, people from all directions gathered around him, and saw the branches in Huang Xiaoshi's hands flying. Anyone who dared to come within six feet of Huang Xiaoshi would inevitably get a whip on their feet, and then be forced to kneel on one knee.
land.
When more than ten people knelt on the ground, other people were so frightened that they backed away.
Even people who don't understand martial arts know that Huang Xiaoshi has reserved his hands, and the martial arts displayed by Huang Xiaoshi have reached a point where others cannot resist him.
"Oh, you dare to do something in front of Mr. Shi. Bah!" When the thin disciple saw Huang Xiaoshi killing everyone, he ran over happily and cursed loudly at those people.
"Come and look through it to see what we were robbed of." Huang Xiaoshi said to the doorman.
"Okay." The doorman replied as he walked toward the shack in the camp with great dignity.
Those who retreated to the periphery looked at Huang Xiaoshi with frightened eyes, and then at the doorman. No one dared to step forward.
Not long after, the doorman pulled out a large locked wooden box from a shack. He took out his small medicine hoe, pointed the sharp tip at the lock, inserted it, and then released it. He only heard "ding"
With a click, the lock was picked open.
"Master Shi, they are all here." The servant took out a small box from the big box and brought it to Huang Xiaoshi like a treasure.
Huang Xiaoshi glanced at the open small wooden box. There were a lot of copper coins in the box, and some things that looked like jewelry. Huang Xiaoshi picked up a jewelry and took a look at it before throwing it back. These were the worst quality ones.
It's made of thick silver. Judging from the craftsmanship, it's not from the Central Plains.
Standing in the center of the camp, Huang Xiaoshi boldly flashed [Warrior Sense], and people and objects within a radius of dozens of meters were sensed and flashed out.
These were all civilians, and none of them were above level ten. Huang Xiaoshi guessed that they should be from the same village, or from the same tribe.
There are still some people hiding in the woods. They are not ambushes, but they are all without rank. They should be the women and children who hid out of fear after Huang Xiaoshi kicked over the cauldron.
The small box in front of me contains all the valuable items of this group of people.
"Is this what you were robbed of?" Huang Xiaoshi asked the doorman, "Take them all."
"Master Shi, we were robbed ninety times in total..." The disciple suddenly stopped mid-sentence and replied excitedly, "Okay!"
There are at least three to four hundred copper coins here, as well as a lot of jewelry, but I made a small profit.
Seeing the two villains holding the money box and about to leave, a woman rushed out from behind with a child in her arms. Huang Xiaoshi didn't even raise his eyes, and then hit the woman's leg with a branch.
The woman fell, and the child she was holding fell to the ground, causing her to cry.
"Bala, bala..."
The woman lying on the ground supported her body with both hands, crying and speaking at a very fast speed that Huang Xiaoshi could not understand.
Huang Xiaoshi ignored these people and said to the doorman: "Let's go."
Intimidated by the branch in Huang Xiaoshi's hand, no one dared to come around.
When passing the big pot, Huang Xiaoshi dropped the branches in his hands, reached out to unbuckle his belt, peed on the rice that fell on the ground, then turned his head and said to them fiercely: "If you don't want to die, just do it."
Get out of here!!”
Human anger and threats can be transmitted without the use of words, and Huang Xiaoshi knows that they can feel it.
Afterwards, Huang Xiaoshi picked up his pants and walked toward Luoyang City in a majestic manner, followed by his disciples.
…
Along the way, Huang Xiaoshi felt extremely heavy.
This group of refugees represents that the refugee problem near Luoyang alone is already very serious.
Of course, according to this person, these people were not really robbing people on the road.
When the five of them came from the country just now, they walked to the place where they were about to enter the city. One of them had a stomachache, so he went to a small forest to poop. The other four also saw someone pooping and their buttocks were itchy, so the five of them lined up in a row.
Congratulations collectively.
As a result, in the middle of pulling, someone came running over.
It turned out that after passing this bush, there was this shack next to it. These people had the upper hand, so the smell of shit naturally drifted over with the wind, attracting a somewhat unhappy person.
Afterwards, both parties pointed at a few pieces of excrement on the ground and began to pull it up. Naturally, these people from the Shennong Baicao Gate were accustomed to being crooked (violent), so they stretched out their hands and beat the person who criticized the most.
As a result, when they took action, forty or fifty people came out at once.
It is said that a man can stretch and bend, so these people hurriedly went to their bags, took out all the money they had on them, threw it on the ground, and then ran away.
After running far away, the five people paid a total of ninety-two cents.
Although this matter was not a big deal, the more I thought about it, the more angry I became. Finally, after the five people returned to Shennong Baicaomen in Luoyang, they made jealous remarks and said that they were robbed and beaten.
So everyone was very excited and wanted to find a place for them.
Now, Mr. Shi has brought the place back, and he has gained enough dignity and face. Now he can go back and brag about it.
"My dear Shen Nong Baicao Sect is so majestic!"
But what Huang Xiaoshi cared about was not the cause of this incident, nor was it about saving face. What he saw was something more serious.
These refugees have already begun to settle down.
Refugees are the group of people who cause the greatest damage to social order.
Alien refugees are a group of people who cause greater damage to social order.
If Huang Xiaoshi leaves this group of refugees alone, or if he is soft-hearted and gives some money and food, there will be even more refugees here in a few days.
Just trying to accept the refugees with love will never be enough.
Once the refugees stop moving, wherever they stop, they will gradually conflict with the local people and have a great impact on the local life order.
No one is born a bad person, but there is a natural soil that breeds bad people.
A group of aliens had to leave their homes and come to a strange land because of the war. They still had women and children who needed to be taken care of, but they had nothing and no language. What should they do?
They have no choice but to beg, steal, or rob, and they can only choose to be bad guys!
This is a problem that Huang Xiaoshi cannot do anything about, and that will not be solved until the world a thousand years later.
Huang Xiaoshi had no better way to deal with this matter. The only thing he could do was to drive these people away.
At this time, you must not be soft-hearted, and you must be as ruthless as possible.
…
When Huang Xiaoshi was in college, there was a girl in his class who liked cats very much.
She saw a pitiful stray cat, so she bought small dried fish to feed it.
This stray cat is very cute. After eating dried fish, he still knows how to act coquettishly and cutely.
As a result, this story spread again and again, so much so that the girls in the girls' dormitory liked to buy dried fish to feed the cats.
The result is that there are more and more stray cats in that area, and more and more, and more and more. When I am doing self-study in the evening, I look over and see only a patch of green eyes, which makes my hair stand on end.
Later, a girl was scratched by the cat while she was feeding it.
With tears in her eyes, she was taken by her roommate to get a rabies vaccine, and she received several shots in a row.
After that, the girls' enthusiasm for feeding wild cats decreased, getting lower and lower, and getting lower and lower.
But stray cats gather together and will not disperse.
If no one feeds them, they will steal and eat.
Afterwards, snacks kept in the dormitory were stolen constantly. The cats became more and more courageous, and the most powerful ones were able to climb up to the fifth or sixth floor from outside the window.
Finally one day, a boy got mad. While chasing a wild cat that ran into the dormitory, he accidentally blew up the screen of his laptop.
The next day, the boy stole some medicine from the chemistry laboratory, melted it with water, sprayed it on the dried fish, and then fed it to the cat.
As a result, these small dried fish poisoned a large number of cats, which can be said to be littered with corpses.
In the end, the boy was naturally punished by the school, because stealing chemical reagents is a very serious matter.
However, this boy's chemical knowledge is obviously better. The chemical reagents he stole were not toxic and regulated, but harmless to humans and highly toxic to cats.
Fortunately, there was no animal protection organization at that time, and the boy's usual performance could be considered to be excellent both in character and academics. After comprehensive consideration at the meeting, the school leaders decided to treat him leniently and just give him a demerit.
The best thing for everyone is that after this person made such a fuss (toxic), the group of wild cats that could not be beaten finally dispersed and no longer dare to come again.
Everyone can finally happily buy snacks and put them in the dormitory without worrying about being picked up by cats.
Everyone is grateful to this boy, from various angles and in various ways, including those girls who like cats.
…
Huang Xiaoshi couldn't give everyone a happy HE (happy end), he could only find ways to try his best to maintain local order.
As for where this group of refugees will be driven, how they will survive, and what will happen to the women and children among them, Huang Xiaoshi doesn't think about these things, doesn't know, and doesn't want to know.
To completely solve the refugee problem, we must solve it at its root cause. To put it simply, the Northwest War needs to end as soon as possible.
As long as the war is over, no matter which side wins, life will gradually return to order, and the refugees will naturally return to their familiar homes and start a new life again.
Ordinary civilians don't care whose rule they live under, which set of laws they follow, or who they pay their taxes to.
To them, there really isn't much difference.
At present, the imperial army's Northern Expedition is already certain of victory, but at this moment, he must act like a stick to interfere in the chaos and prolong the chaos.
Huang Xiaoshi kept telling himself that he must clearly understand his own nature.
"You are a bad person."
…
After two or three miles, Huang Xiaoshi and his disciples quickly returned to Luoyang City.
Different from the smog outside the city, Luoyang city is still so lively and prosperous, but there are more beggars on the streets.
A listener said that there are far fewer beggars now, and there are only more than one beggar at that time after autumn.
The good thing is that the winter in Luoyang is very cold, and some beggars freeze to death every day. After the whole winter, the streets are a little cleaner.
People's joys and sorrows are not connected.
These beggars are struggling to survive, but in the eyes of the people in Luoyang City, they only think that they are dirty, smelly and annoying, and they wish they would die soon.
Looking at the beggars lying on the ground, Huang Xiaoshi reached into her arms and took out a handful of copper coins. She looked at the beggar who looked the most miserable and jingled a handful of coins into the broken bowl she was holding.
Hearing the sound of copper coins falling into the bowl, Huang Xiaoshi felt much better. After satisfying his cheap and false sympathy, he was about to turn around and leave when his trousers were suddenly pulled.
Shameless?
Huang Xiaoshi turned his head and prepared to kick, but he saw a familiar person.
Huang Xiaoshi saw Xiao Yao sitting on the ground, holding a book that was almost too dirty to read in one hand, and pulling his trousers with the other hand, saying with a smile on his face: "Well done, sir.
I haven’t eaten for three days and three nights.”
Xiao Yao was dirty and smelly, no different from other beggars, but Huang Xiaoshi had a good impression of him.
The reason is that as soon as Xiao Yao opens his mouth, no one will think that he is a beggar, but a sensitive and studious scholar.
…
That night, Xiao Yao roared angrily at the Hangzhou Yamen, not only harming himself, but also the beggar gang.
In the days that followed, countless beggars died tragically under torture from the government.
It was not the people from the Hangzhou government who really acted harshly. The Hangzhou governor was so happy that he smiled like a flower when he learned that he was only demoted one level and his position remained unchanged.
This matter was beyond his authority, and he was happy not to have to worry about anything.
The last person to handle this matter is the special agency of the imperial court.
After the emperor ordered a strict investigation, Jinyiwei and Dongchang went all out. With the cooperation of these two giants, the number of beggars in Hangzhou decreased by 100%.
Li Hao and Xiao Yao escaped from the disaster because they left Hangzhou City early, but the Dazhi Branch in Hangzhou completely disappeared.
Such meticulous arrest and torture will naturally pay off.
Through cross-examination, especially after catching many beggars who participated in the bloody battle outside Hangzhou that day and survived by chance, all the clues point directly to one person: Li Hao, the helmsman of the Dazhi Branch of the Beggar Clan.
All the beggars confessed that the entire ambush plan was planned and implemented by Li Hao alone. As for who Li Hao's boss was, no one knew.
As a result, the imperial court issued a sea arrest document, and Li Hao, the "big thief", was wanted throughout the country, and the reward was a huge five hundred taels.
How could Xiao Yao not know about such a heinous injustice?
Xiao Yao often regretted that he didn't keep his mouth shut and caused great trouble to the Beggar Clan with his loud voice.
However, one day, Xiao Yao suddenly woke up.
That's not right, why should you say that I am the one who caused the trouble? This is clearly because the court does not distinguish between loyal and traitorous people, confuses right and wrong, and slanders the good and the good!
However, the beggar gang could not control the imperial court, and they even had nowhere to cry when they were wronged.
Xiao Yao drifted to Luoyang this time to avoid the limelight.
…
As soon as he saw Xiao Yao, Huang Xiaoshi's mood immediately improved.
There are three irons in a man's relationship, and the friendship between life and death is one of them.
Although that night, Xiao Yao was mainly watching Huang Xiaoshi kill everyone, but it did not prevent Huang Xiaoshi from treating Xiao Yao as his comrade-in-arms.
