Daming: Wanted to be a small landlord, but was forced to ascend the throne

Chapter 16 Liu Xiucai's Family Was Slaughtered?
"You mean Liu Xiucai?"

Liu Kui's face suddenly changed, and then his face was full of sadness.

"Liu Xiucai's house was seized by the refugees, and the whole family was slaughtered by the refugees! Only when his youngest son ran out and shouted, did we know that the youngest son was also beaten to death by those vile refugees with clubs! We...we want to save , but it's too late."

"After Liu Xiucai's house was robbed, he was burned down by those people! Those refugees really have no conscience, Liu Xiucai is so kind to them!"

"It's really disgusting! Wasn't Liu Xiucai the first to take out food and cook porridge to help those refugees? How could they?"

"Many of those refugees have no conscience. They feel that the porridge cooked by Liu Xiucai is not enough to drink, so they start looting. I don't know which vicious person, shouting that Liu Xiucai's family has a lot of food, saying that they rob the rich and help the poor, and start looting their food! They The family members resisted and were killed, even children of a few years old were spared!"

someone lamented.

"Liu Xiucai is a very good person! Their money and food are earned by their own business, and they often donate to the poor. We have all been given alms by Liu Xiucai. It's really good people who don't get rewarded!"

Han Jinrong was numb, wanted to cry but couldn't, her face was flushed red.

"Girl! Girl, are you okay?"

Seeing Han Jinrong's appearance, the youngest son was a little worried. He pulled Han Jinrong, and then looked at Qin Shao with red eyes begging for help.

Qin Shao's face was serious, and she seemed to be turning purple, and her vigilance was not good.

Hastily stepped forward to hold her face, pinching her tightly.

"Wow!"

Han Jinrong burst into tears in an instant, and the voice became louder and louder, that kind of sadness pierced through her heart and bones.

The voices of discussion around fell silent for an instant, and everyone looked at Han Jinrong sadly, and began to wipe their tears one by one.

Some people cried loudly, and among those people, some family members were beaten to death by the refugees because they did not escape in time.

Qin Shao's face was also a little dark. He thought of many possibilities, but he didn't expect it to be like this.

It's really a house leak happened overnight, why things are always so unsatisfactory!

"What happened?"

A thick voice sounded.

I saw a middle-aged man about 50 in a silk shirt coming out from the gate of the wall, followed by five or six young men of strong stature.

"Patriarch!"

"Patriarch!"

"Liu Kui? Why are you here? And why are there so many people from your village?"

This person is Cui Zhishan, the patriarch of Cuigou Village.

"Uncle, our village was captured by refugees! Liu Xiucai's family was killed! We only came out when we heard the cries. There are too many refugees, we are powerless to resist, so we can only escape with everyone!"

Liu Kui hurried forward and said that Cui Zhishan is Liu Kui's uncle.

The nearby villages are generally the objects of marriage, and each village is inextricably linked.

"The village is completely occupied? Isn't the gate of the village closed and guarded?"

Even though Cui Zhishan was a steady and experienced person, he was shocked when he heard the news.

"Yes, the gates of the village are closely guarded, and there are relief sheds set up outside the village. It's just that two days ago a woman and two children fell ill. Liu Xiucai felt sorry for them and asked them to come into the village to treat them."

"Who knew that woman would secretly open the gate of the village in the middle of the night to let her man in, but a large number of refugees invaded. Liu Xiucai's family was closest to the gate of the village. Their home was invaded first, and the whole family was slaughtered and robbed. They were next to their two families. We were also robbed, we saw too many people, we couldn't resist at all, so we let everyone run out from the back mountain!"

Liu Kui wiped tears while talking.

Some villagers were reluctant to be robbed of their family business after working for a lifetime, and wanted to resist, but they were beaten to pieces with sticks by the refugees who poured in in an instant.

Those who could come out obeyed his command and ran out only with what they had at hand.

Cui Zhishan did not expect such a situation.

He was in the dart business in the early years, and as he grew older these years, he settled down in his hometown, bought dozens of acres of land, and became a landlord and village patriarch.

In the early years, he traveled all over the world and traveled around the world, and he had seen a lot of the world, and he had come into contact with countless refugees and robbers, and he knew the nature of those people very well.

Although the several villages are fairly closely related, each village has a different attitude towards refugees.

Tuqiao Liu Xiucai has the highest prestige. He is kind and kind, and he suggested to help the refugees first, hoping that they will have something to eat, so they will not run around and endanger the villagers.

Cui Zhishan didn't think so. He saw more and more refugees, and it was simply not something that these villages could bear.

Resolutely oppose the relief of refugees, and suggest that villagers protect themselves first.

From the very beginning, he organized the young and middle-aged people in the village to raise the wall of the village, guard it tightly, and forbid refugees from entering.

There was once a group of refugees asking for help in the village, Cui Zhishan could tell at a glance that some people inside had bad looks, so he directly refused.

At night, those refugees actually took advantage of the darkness to climb over the wall and enter the village, and injured two villagers.

Fortunately, Cui Zhishan and the others were prepared to wipe out all those refugees, and killed the leading ones, hanging their heads on the wall of the village for public display. When other refugees saw it, they fled one after another.

With these deterrent effects, several groups of refugees came to detour through Cuigou Village.

Cui Zhishan was very worried when he learned that there was a porridge shed on the earth bridge.

His younger sister married to Tuqiao, where there are many relatives of his family, and they are going to send someone to remind them to pay attention to the relief and suggest that the village should protect itself first.

It's just that the people sent haven't gone yet, and problems have already occurred.

"Hey!"

He sighed deeply.

"It's my fault that I didn't tell you earlier, forget it! It's already happened, and it's useless to say more!

"Liu Kui, arrange for the villagers who have escaped from your village to go to our village first. You count the number of names, and we will arrange accommodation here! Those refugees have robbed things and have food. They may not come here for the time being! But once After eating, it is possible to come to our village! Everyone must be fully prepared!"

"Cui Wu, arrange for people to arrange for the villagers to live in, and the young ones will be incorporated into the militia battalion. From today on, they will patrol in shifts for [-] hours, and no one entry point to the village will be missed, and no one who can enter the village will be allowed to enter!"

Cui Zhishan made arrangements vigorously.

"Yes!"

Cui Wu hurriedly greeted the people in the village, welcoming and arranging for the people of Tuqiao Village to enter the village.

"These people are..."

After Cui Zhishan finished making arrangements, he saw Qin Shao and the others standing there, and a woman sitting on the ground who was extremely sad, and asked with some doubts.

The population is small in this era, and many village alliances often meet, and many people, big and small, basically know each other around the village.

Qin Shao and the others looked familiar, which naturally aroused Cui Zhishan's surprise.

"Patriarch, they said they were relatives of Liu Xiucai, and they originally defected to Liu Xiucai. Liu Xiucai's house was looted by refugees, and his family was gone!"

Cui Wu explained.

Cui Zhishan looked at the three people, their clothes and manners were indeed different from ordinary refugees.

Although the woman was dressed simply, she looked good and behaved well. Although she was sad, she was not as hysterical and carefree as a country woman. She looked like a woman from everyone.

As for the young one, he is not very old, so he should be a servant.

As for that young man, Cui Zhishan was even more surprised.
