The Nameless of the Common Clans
Chapter 213 Assassination
Black smoke pillars rose into the sky along with the flames. Black smoke continued to rise. The air was filled with a burning smell, faintly mixed with a hint of blood. A large number of houses were burned down. Under the black smoke, there were The running people were driven away like animals.
"My lord, the east side of Hedong has been working hard to build the manor according to my lord's instructions. However, the fields divided by the lord can only accommodate 10,000 households at most. Mr. Boning sent me to inform the lord that if we move the population again, we will I'm afraid there isn't enough land." Li Qing rode his horse to Chen Mo's side, looked at the crowd in the distance, and said in a low voice.
The troops maintaining order were shouting loudly, but the noise began to blur among the crowd. An old woman in ragged clothes knelt on the ground and begged. She had grown up here all her life, and suddenly they were asked to leave their hometown. Who would be willing?
"Go to the Wei family and tell Wei Jian that you can lend me some more land, whether it's thin or fertile land. I will return it after this happens." Chen Mo felt unspeakably depressed in his heart. The scene in front of him reminded him of himself many years ago. They are also unable to control themselves and have no ability to resist. They can only move towards an unpredictable future step by step under the control of others.
Dong Zhuo's approach cannot be wrong, but for these relocated people, I don't know how many people will die during the migration. Over there in Guanzhong, they have not built habitable residences for them, let alone allocated land to them. Once there, most of these people will become tenant farmers or even refugees.
At least so far, neither Dong Zhuo nor Li Ru have made adequate preparations for this migration of people. In other words, they don't care, they just want a result. It is precisely because of this that Chen Mo has the opportunity. But taking advantage of it, a large number of refugees can be transported away secretly.
"My lord, Mr. Boning's suggestion is to reduce the land allocated to each household to solve the current crisis first. If we borrow it from the Wei family, we may not be able to pay it back in the future," Li Qing said in a low voice.
"Tell him that I will keep the land of the Wang family in Taiyuan for him. It depends on him whether he is willing to take it. There are too many big families in this land of Bingzhou." Chen Mo said with a smile. Wang Yun was planning for his family during this time. No matter how much self-interest he has gained, he will let the Wang family spit out even more in the future, and it will be legal.
"Here!" Li Qing shivered slightly when he heard the words, bowed to Chen Mo and said: "In addition, Cai Weng's family members have also arrived in Anyi. The day before yesterday, Wei Jian and the Wei family patriarch came to the door in person to apologize to Miss Cai's family and offered them A great gift.”
"How thick?" Chen Mo asked with a smile.
"When Sangquan arrived in Jie County, there were one thousand acres of fertile farmland and three thousand acres of thin farmland. However, the Cai family's wife did not take it. Instead, she handed over the land deeds to the county government, hoping to help more people." Li Qing bowed.
Chen Moran for a moment, nodded and said: "I know, let's do the work. I will make a decision after I get back."
"Here, I'll excuse you." Li Qing bowed to Chen Mo and said.
Looking at Li Qing's leaving figure, Chen Mo smiled. The Wei family was more generous this time. Unfortunately, Wei Ji was still in a wait-and-see attitude, but the betting began. Chen Mo knew that the other party might want more, so it was better to wait and see, at least in the future. Before your own system is established, it will be much easier since no aristocratic family will interfere.
Something fell on his face, and the cold feeling dissipated. Chen Mo touched it and looked up at the gloomy sky. It was about to rain.
"Han Kai!" Chen Mo looked behind him.
"Here!" Han Kaice came immediately.
"Take the people to the west and see how many straw huts I have built for everyone to take shelter from the wind and rain a few days ago. It's going to rain tonight, so organize the manpower to build more." Chen Mo wiped his face and said, "Put on more clothes." Please bring some clothes, don’t get cold, there are still many things to do next, don’t lie on the bed like that good-for-nothing Bao Geng and can’t get up.”
"Here!" Han Kaisurong saluted. Bao Geng sent the villagers away and fell ill after coming back. He had injuries on his body. He had been running around for two more days. It would be strange not to be sick. Now he is lying on the bed, humming all day. Hengjiji, military affairs are all temporarily taken over by Yu Sheng.
While the two were talking, a small chaos broke out in the crowd in front.
"Go do something." Chen Mo waved to Han Kai and walked toward the chaos with Dian Wei and Bai Piao.
A woman holding a child was pushed down. The child in her arms was crying loudly. The man angrily grabbed another man and started fighting. The conflict between the two quickly affected the people around him, and the chaos slowly began to spread around. spread.
A corps leader brought someone over to stop him, but he was hit in the head with a stone. Blood flowed across his face. Amidst crying and cursing, Chen Mo came outside the crowd. A short and sturdy man suddenly took out something from his arms. He stabbed Chen Mo with a short knife.
"Pfft~"
The cold light flashed, and the short and stocky man's eyes widened, and he kept the assassination movement, staring blankly at Chen Mo who was already holding the sword. Dark red blood dripped from the tip of the sword, and the thin blood line on his neck was expanding.
"The dog officer killed someone!" Someone in the crowd suddenly roared.
Chen Mo didn't wait for the crowd to become more chaotic. The sword in his hand that was about to be sheathed was suddenly thrown out and disappeared into the crowd. The people around him were scared and fled away. A lean man stared at him and stabbed him in the neck with both hands. He stared at Chen Mo with his long sword, and the short sword in his hand fell to the ground.
"There are assassins, protect the lord!" Dian Wei and Bai Piao reacted upon seeing this. Someone was clearly causing chaos and wanted to take advantage of the chaos to assassinate Chen Mo, so they quickly took their personal guards to protect Chen Mo.
Chen Mo waved his hand and walked straight into the crowd. The people around him quickly made way for him. They watched Chen Mo walk to the body of the thin man kneeling on the ground, slowly pulled out the Chengyuan sword, and repeatedly wiped the sword on the man's body until it was shiny.
"Someone deliberately created chaos and wanted to assassinate me. There are still people among you. It's hard to find them at the moment. When you go out, you'd better restrain yourself. Otherwise, I can't guarantee whether I will kill the wrong person next time." Chen Mo put the sword back into the sheath, slowly glanced at the rioters around him and said, "It's going to rain soon. It's important for everyone to hurry up. I have ordered people to set up a straw hut in front. Go and take shelter from the rain."
The people around dared not make a fuss anymore. They kept their mouths shut. After seeing Chen Mo leave, they slowly set off on the road.
Chen Mo didn't care when he saw the people's eyes avoiding snakes and scorpions. He felt sorry for them. In troubled times, the most helpless people were the people. But he couldn't be soft-hearted. He had experienced such a situation. If you were too kind, these people would not be grateful, but would become worse. Although it didn't make sense, at this time, evil people were more likely to be feared than good people, and they would be more efficient.
Chen Mo hoped to kill fewer people, so he had to show his vicious side to calm the people. The same thing had happened many times.
"My Lord, these assassins..." Bai Piao looked at Chen Mo and asked.
"Don't worry about it. It's hard to find any clues." Chen Mo shook his head. Chen Mo knew who would assassinate him at this time, but if he wanted to get evidence from these people, it was basically impossible. At this time, he was not asked to investigate the case.
"Just let it go?" Dian Wei was a little angry, half because of the assassination, and the other half was guilt. After all, with him by his side, the assassin had to be solved by Chen Mo himself.
"I don't know how to calculate. This debt will be paid sooner or later, but not now." Chen Mo shook his head, got on his horse and said, "Let's go and take a look ahead."
"Yes!"
When everyone was about to ride their horses forward, they saw a horse galloping over and roaring from a distance: "Chen Mo, stop!"
"Yu Fuluo?" Chen Mo frowned and said, "Why are you here?"
"Chen Mo, you promised me that as long as I give up He Yong, I will be fine." Yu Fuluo rode his horse closer, looked at Chen Mo and roared, and his voice became a little shrill when he was excited.
"You're fine." Chen Mo looked at Yu Fuluo's pale face and nodded, "I didn't break my promise."
"You call it fine!?" Yu Fuluo turned over and got off the horse. He was not afraid of being laughed at. He untied his belt and showed everyone his bloody crotch: "How can I go back to be the Chanyu in this state?"
After Dong Zhuo learned of He Yong's plan, he ordered He Yong's entire family to be beheaded on the spot. Although Yu Fuluo was not killed, Dong Zhuo was annoyed that he led troops to attack the ministers, so he ordered him to be castrated.
Chen Mo held back his laughter and tried to be more serious, saying: "In fact, if you stay in the palace to serve His Majesty, if you can do a good job, you can also have power over the world. As for the matter of the Xiongnu Chanyu, don't worry, the court will let people deal with it."
Yu Fuluo can only blame his bad luck. If he robbed ordinary people, Chen Mo might not be able to catch him. After all, it is difficult for Chen Mo's troops to catch up with the cavalry when they run, and ordinary people don't have many soldiers to take care of them.
But Yu Fuluo rushed into the crowd that day and killed several officials. For him, the ending now is already good.
"Where are my warriors!" Yu Fuluo stared at Chen Mo angrily and roared.
"Zuo Xian Wang." Chen Mo sighed: "With your current state, even if I give you the soldiers, do you think they will let a eunuch be their leader?"
"This is my business, you just need to give me the soldiers!" Yu Fuluo said with a dark face.
"In the military camp, if you have the ability, go and take them away." Chen Mo turned his horse and said, "But if they don't want to follow you, then I can't help them."
"You are despicable!" Yu Fuluo rushed forward a few steps, grabbed Chen Mo's horse and said, "From the beginning, you have been greedy for my soldiers!"
"So what?" Chen Mo kicked him down and looked down at him condescendingly: "The Central Plains has its own rules. You have to use your brain when you come here!"
Pointing to his head, Chen Mo shook his head and said, "I advise you to enter the palace. At least you don't have to worry about food and clothing. Now, even if you return to the Xiongnu, what can you do? Will the Xiongnu warriors serve a eunuch as the Chanyu?"
Looking at the backs of Chen Mo and his group leaving, Yu Fuluo's unwilling and desperate roar echoed in the wild...
