I am the Empress Dowager!

Chapter 374 Mob

Deng Sui just wanted to pretend that he was a refugee, standing at the bottom of the big man he could understand, to inspect his own land and see his own country.

Because only in this way can Deng Sui know how well he has done.

Only in this way can he know what areas he still needs to make up for!

But what Deng Sui never expected was that as a "refugee", Deng Sui could not walk freely on the land of the Han according to his own ideas.

Being turned away time and time again, those counties that were clearly not affected by natural disasters did not want to accept them, no matter if they were a large team or a simple family.

The closed city gates, the soldiers in prepared formation, and the fierce and vicious scoldings all made Deng Sui's face look increasingly ugly.

Deng Sui even remembered that many of the county magistrates and even county guards in these local counties were the heroes and virtuous men he had originally selected!

Deng Sui even felt proud because of them.

But now, I see myself being rejected again and again, and then I have grown from a small team to a bigger and more spectacular one.

Even this group of refugees began to develop into bandits due to various reasons.

Deng Sui felt particularly dangerous.

This danger is not only due to the relationship between the refugees and the bandits, but more importantly, it comes from the refugees themselves.

They have all lost their hometowns, and they are all people who don’t know where their future is, or even whether they have a future.

The laws of Han Dynasty can no longer control them. At this time, they not only want to muddle along, but have even completely given up their moral integrity and all bottom line persistence.

It can be said that they are now a group of rootless duckweeds, or a group of rootless duckweeds who don't know when they will die!

With such a group of people, how kind can they still be?

If it weren't for Cai Lun and his guards who dared not leave Deng Sui's side day and night, I'm afraid Deng Sui would have been eaten by those people until not even the bones and dregs were left.

Not only that, when they saw Deng Sui quietly giving rations to the two children he wanted to come over, some people rushed over and tried to snatch the rations from the children's hands.

He even wanted to take away their food from Deng Sui's hands.

After the opponent was subdued by Deng Sui's guards, he did not feel regret or fear. On the contrary, he became even more crazy.

He shouted loudly that there was food here, and insulted Deng Sui with all kinds of dirty words.

Deng Sui didn't care about those unpleasant words, but the word "food" made everyone scream and riot, and countless people crowded towards them.

Deng Sui could even tell it from their eyes.

These people not only want food, but they also want to turn them into food!

When Deng Sui saw these people rushing over that day, he realized for the first time how heavy the word "mob" in the memorial was.

On that day, if Cai Lun had not made a decisive decision and led his men to draw out the sharp sword wrapped in rags and kill the mob as quickly as possible, Deng Sui might have had a big accident.

Killing the leader can only serve as a shock, but cannot prevent this human tragedy from happening.

Fortunately, Cai Lun once again showed his ability as a guard. He immediately yelled at the people in front of him and threatened them not to act rashly by waving a sharp knife.

Then tell them that you know where to get food, so that they can calm down!

Under the coercion and inducement of sharp blades and food, the rebellion was finally eliminated, but food became the only way to save Deng Sui's life.

Regarding this kind of thing, Deng Sui thought that if it really didn't work, he would simply reveal his identity and let the nearby government office distribute food on the spot. But Cai Lun's answer was different.

“If this is the case, not only will it not satisfy the appetite of these people, but it will also increase their arrogance.

Not only will the identity of the Queen Mother be exposed, but it will also cause a lot of unnecessary trouble.

If the Queen Mother believes in me, let me take responsibility for this matter. I will definitely not let the Queen Mother down! "

Cai Lun's words made Deng Sui frown slightly. At this time, Deng Sui was not the woman who had just ascended to the position of Queen Mother that year.

He already knew Cai Lun very well, and she also heard some unusual meanings from Cai Lun's mouth.

Deng Sui wanted to stop him, but looking at the fierce eyes of the refugees around him, he finally nodded silently.

"Don't go too far!"

"Don't worry, Queen Mother!"

After Cai Lun bowed and accepted the order, he immediately arranged for the guards to leave, and told the people around him that he was going to find food for everyone, so that they should not be too nervous.

However, Deng Sui could only say that Cai Lun's thoughts were completely redundant!

After all, in the eyes of this group of people, Cai Lun is a refugee just like them. Is it possible that he can still ask for reinforcements?

As for the guard Deng Sui, he also guessed that he was using his identity to ask the local magistrate to open a warehouse to release grain.

Of course, they won't fly under their own banner, but that doesn't matter, they are from the Forbidden Army.

Regardless of whether they were the Huben Army or the Yulin Army, they are definitely not something that a small county magistrate or magistrate can stop.

This thing will succeed easily.

But Deng Sui no longer wanted to know what happened next.

Under Cai Lun's arrangement, the county closest to these people began to accept the refugees, opened its own treasury, and began to resettle the refugees.

Of course, the so-called resettlement is just to let them stay outside the city.

As for more ideas, don’t even think about them!

What happened next was similar to what Deng Sui and Cai Lun expected. Although their number was not that large, it was still not something that a small county town could solve.

In particular, the county magistrate was always wary of them, accepting them but refusing to let them into the city, and constantly making various demands on them and restricting their movements.

After going back and forth, some discordant voices appeared again among the refugees. It seemed that some people wanted to unite together and rush in to steal all the food.

However, the idea of ​​scolding was a good idea, but before they even started to implement it, it was already a complete failure.

Because before they even had the idea, they were directly surrounded by the commander-in-chief and his troops.
