People write diaries in Zongwu, and the heroes collapse

Chapter 466 The massacred village

Because the populations of foreign countries such as the Jin, Liao, Xixia, and Mongolia were smaller than those of other countries, these countries often went to the Song Dynasty border to plunder people, and usually offered conditions for returning crops to lure the border people to submit and divide their fields. My wife is not lying.

What really makes the border people despair is the inaction of the government. Not only can they not protect them, they will not rescue them during the war, and they will even massacre them, so that they have no hope of survival. This also leads to a large number of people fleeing to other countries, and finally turning back. Come over and fight your own country.

One of the kind people saw that the direction Lu Chen and the others were heading towards was the border, and he quickly reminded him kindly: "Young ladies, please don't go forward again. There are rebels everywhere taking advantage of the situation. The ladies are so beautiful. The army will definitely not let it go.”

In addition to the people who fled, many Song troops became rebels. Some of these rebels escaped, some were dispersed, and some fled on their own initiative. These rebels were basically no different from foreigners. Burning, killing, and looting were also common. .

One thing is actually different. Those alien armies may be able to rob people together and at least survive, but these rebels are different. They may even massacre the entire village in order to keep it secret.

Ji Yaohua said to the butterfly: "Give them all the food we brought."

Butterfly said: "Sister, what will we eat along the way?"

Ji Yaohua said: "It's okay, let's just hunt some hares. Go quickly."

The butterfly had no choice but to give the food to the refugees.

Wu Qing also asked Zhui Ming to share the food they carried with them. The refugees fought over each other and started fighting, allowing Zhui Ming to break up the fight.

"This is not possible. There are so many people. If there is no official reception along the way, we don't know how many people will starve to death."

Zhui Ming said.

Ji Yaohua'e frowned and shook her head slightly. She had no choice. Although she was from the Six Gates, she had no authority to order the magistrates.

"In this way, with the warrant from my Shenhou Mansion, I will first ask the county magistrate of the nearby city to provide official food to help the refugees. If there is any disobedience to the order, it will be handed over to the court for disposal."

Wu Qing said in a deep voice.

Wuqing came this time, carrying the warrant from the Shenhou Mansion. This warrant was handed over to her by the Shenhou himself. She did not believe that anyone would dare to disobey the warrant.

"That's all it can do."

Zhui Ming nodded.

"In this way, I will write a letter and Zhui Ming will bring it to Mantuo Villa. Mantuo Villa will pay for the food to house these people. I, Mantuo Villa, can still accommodate them in a short period of time."

Lu Chen said aloud.

"That's not a small amount of money."

Ji Yaohua reminded.

"It's okay. With the assets of Mantuo Villa, we can still save some people."

Lu Chen said with a smile.

"Thank you, gentlemen and ladies. Good people are rewarded."

The people who fled were immediately grateful. They were now helpless and could live one day at a time. They did not expect that they would meet good people on the way.

Zhui Ming escorted them all the way, while the others continued to drive towards the border. The deeper they went, the more refugees they saw, which was really shocking.

They came to a village and saw a foul smell coming from the village. When they walked into the village, they found corpses lying on the ground, all with their heads cut off.

"Did the Mongolian army come here?"

Butterfly covered her mouth. She was afraid that she would vomit out in the next second. It was so tragic. When she walked down, there was no one alive in the whole village. She was really worse than a beast.

Even children were not spared.

There was a rare expression of anger on the ruthless and cold face: "This was not done by the Mongolian army, nor was it done by the rebel army. This was killing a good man and taking credit for it."

The matter of killing good people and taking credit for merit is not a secret among the countries. Since the military merits of the border troops are calculated by heads, many frontier soldiers will do such things as killing good people and taking credit for their merits in order to gain gains. Reward from the court.

Of course, this matter must have been tacitly approved by the general above. If military discipline was strict, such a thing would not be possible.

Sure enough, not long after, they found several corpses. These corpses were all dressed in Song Army clothes. It looked like they had been beaten to death by the villagers with farm tools.

When several people saw this scene, they all felt sad. It was enough for foreigners to bully them. Now they are even bullying their own troops. The life of the common people is really very difficult.

"The world is like this. The weak eat the strong. If you are not strong enough, you can only be bullied. So I have been practicing martial arts since I was a child, just to stand out."

Ji Yaohua's eyes flashed with a cold light and she said in a deep voice.

"Cold-blooded!"

Wu Wuqing glared at her and said, "Even if this is a world where the jungle prevails, we cannot kill innocent people indiscriminately. This is the bottom line of our lives."

"Okay, let's bury the folks here first."

Lu Chen said.

The two women stopped arguing, and several people worked for a long time before burying them in the ground.

They stayed in the village that night and continued their journey the next day. After walking for a long time, they were surrounded by more than a hundred rebels.

These rebels surrounded the four of them with bows and arrows.

Butterfly held the sword in his hand tightly, his eyes full of vigilance.

She found that each of these rebels was strong and possessed some martial arts skills. It seemed that they were not ordinary rebels, but probably elite border troops.

A strong man in the rebel army was shouted out and walked out. This man was tall and exuded a fierce aura. He glanced at the four people and sneered: "It turns out they are four Mongolian spies. They have been kidnapped, and I will interrogate them personally.”

His eyes focused on Wuqing, Ji Yaohua and Butterfly for a while, and then reluctantly took them back.

He saw that these four people were either rich or noble, but so what, this was the border, and if one was killed and the other buried, who would know it was them.

They were originally stationed here to wait for the high-ranking officials, landlords and wealthy businessmen who had fled, but they didn't expect that there would be people rushing to the border so stupidly that they were really looking for death.

Rather than taking advantage of those foreign races, it is better to take advantage of them.

Seeing these rebels about to take action, Butterfly hurriedly said: "Wait! You are blind, we are all from the Song Dynasty, and we are from the capital."

The strong man laughed loudly and said: "Why, it's impossible for people from the Song Dynasty to be spies from Mongolia? I think you are spies. Otherwise, there is a war ahead, and you still go to the border. This is not spies."

"I think you are blind. Do you think we look like spies?"

Butterfly yelled angrily.

"You'd better let us go, or we'll look good on you."

The strong man didn't take it seriously, laughed loudly, and said sarcastically: "Let you go? This is impossible. I will interrogate you carefully and ask you to hand over more evidence. If you really If you are not a spy, I will naturally let you go."
