Marrying blindly and by mistake, the general’s misplaced wife

Chapter 143
These are poor people.

Some of them were captured official ladies passing by, some were daughters of wealthy families, some were ordinary peasant girls, and some were daughters of refugees who could not survive and were abandoned by their families...

This number is indeed quite large, and the placement of these people is a big problem.

Xia Chixiao temporarily works in the village.

Gold and silver are easy to say, except for one-tenth which is used to provide compensation to the fallen officers and soldiers and garrison troops, and three-tenths which are used to reward the officers, soldiers and garrison troops who bravely killed bandits according to their merits. The rest will be sealed in boxes and transported to the capital to be filled into the national treasury. .

In other words, one-third of the food was used as military ration, one-third was used by the government to distribute to those who suffered from bandits, and the remaining one-third was put into the local government's granary for disaster relief. .

It's just that those women are difficult to arrange.

According to the routine, they should be sent to Jiachen Mansion and placed by the Jiachen Prefecture.

Xia Xinhe, the magistrate of Jiachen, doesn't know who he is. He has deep malice towards him and is hiding behind him. He currently has no evidence to deal with Xia Xinhe. Can Xia Xinhe properly handle these women?
They have been tortured so much that many of them have already lost the will to live. If the government cannot make arrangements for their lives, it will force them to die faster.

Suddenly something moved in his mind, he thought of something, took the paper, and wrote a letter in a flash, saying: "Zhuo Jun!"

Zhuo Jun came in in response: "Master!"

Xia Chixiao handed the letter to him: "Go down the mountain immediately, and the inn will send it out as soon as possible!"

After he finished handling the urgent matters, he took Huo Ci and others to the place where the women were resettled.

They were already well-dressed, some were clothes stripped from the dead bodies of the bandits, and some were clothes found from the bandits' rooms. However, many of them still had gloomy eyes, huddled on the ground without saying a word, and their eyes were dull. .

The appearance of Xia Chixiao and others made them frightened and seemed to shrink into the ground.

Huo Ci hurriedly said: "This is our General Xia. He led his officers and soldiers to destroy Anping Village and saved you! From now on, you no longer have to worry about being bullied."

Someone reacted and knelt down to Xia Chixiao.

Xia Chixiao said: "What are your plans? If you go down the mountain, I will ask someone to pay you travel expenses!"

Two or three were moved, but most of them were still numb. One woman said sadly: "My innocence has been stained by bandits. Even if I go back, I will be dead!"

More people nodded.

Someone else said: "My relatives have been killed by these thieves, and I am alone and have nowhere to go!"

"I fled here. I don't know whether my family is alive or dead, and I don't know where they are. I don't know where I should go!"

"I'm just a useless person. My parents left me on the road. What else can I do except beg?"

"I was traded out by my parents to be eaten by others, and the bandits snatched me up the mountain!"

……

Some people were talking about their situation, but most were silent.

Others timidly said: "Will they really pay us travel expenses?"

Xia Chixiao said: "Travel expenses and resettlement fees will be paid."

The eyes of those people flashed with joy: "Thank you, sir, thank you, sir!"

"If you have somewhere to go, or want to go down the mountain to find your own way, go to the left. Travel and resettlement fees will be given to you, and someone will escort you down the mountain! If you have no place to go for the time being and need to wait for resettlement, wait where you are and follow the officers and soldiers down the mountain when the time comes. !”

There were a dozen or so people walking to the left.

Each person was given 20 taels of silver.

In the countryside, these 20 taels of silver are enough to buy ten acres of land or do other things to make a living. Even if they do nothing, they can live peacefully for three to five years.

Those who had received the money gathered together, and some people were very excited: "With this money, my brother can get a wife. My parents must be very happy to see me getting back so much money!"

"I was robbed and carried up the mountain, and my husband cried heartbrokenly. Now I go back with the money, he must be very happy!" "I am alone, one person has enough to eat, and the whole family is not hungry. I will go with the money." Open a shop. I don’t believe I can survive!”

"I want to find a place where no one knows me, buy a few acres of land, and live alone."

"With this money, my parents won't sell me."

"If I give this money to my brother and my sister-in-law, they will definitely give me a bite to eat."

……

Everyone has different aspirations on their faces, and their thoughts are different, but these are their own choices, and Xia Chixiao will not interfere.

The destinations of these dozen people have been sorted out, but there are still more than 900 people over there.

The bandits had no humanity and locked up the women for their entertainment. It is said that many of them were tortured to death and thrown under the cliff of the back mountain.

After most of the day's hard work, the casualties and enemy kills were harvested and all counted.

The bodies of the bandits were piled together, burned and then buried.

The bodies of the officers and soldiers were buried on the spot.

Almost everyone has lost their eyesight from yesterday to now, and they have been fighting almost all night, but everyone is very excited and has no sleepiness.

Xia Chixiao had strict military discipline and had gold, silver and jewelry in front of him. No one took even a piece of silver or gold beads privately.

The women who had paid travel expenses were escorted down the mountain. Xia Chixiao cleaned them up again and again, fearing that some fish would slip through the net, so the extremely tired officers and soldiers and the garrison were allowed to rest on the spot, take turns to keep vigil, rest for one night, and go down the mountain at dawn the next day.

The officers and soldiers escorted the gold, silver, grain, and prisoners, and carried and supported the wounded. The women followed at the end, stumbling and supporting each other, as they walked down the mountain in a mighty manner.

Some people who knew that the officers and soldiers were suppressing bandits quietly hid in the dark and watched from a distance. When they saw that the officers and soldiers had won, they happily went back and told each other.

Xia Xinhe also sent people to watch.

Therefore, when the officers and soldiers approached the garrison, Xia Xinhe was already waiting there with a group of people from the government office to greet them.

With a smile on his face, he said: "General Xia is really young and promising. The bandits have been entrenched for many years. General Xia came to Jiachen Mansion for only five days. He wiped them out overnight. From then on, Jiachen has a bright and sunny sky. General Xia is the leader of the entire Jiachen Mansion." My benefactor!"

He also had deep fears in his heart.

Xia Chixiao seemed to be back unscathed?

There are more than 8000 bandits and more than 2000 officers and soldiers on the three hills of Anping Village. Even if we add the [-] old, weak, sick and lazy garrison who have no fighting ability, this force is far inferior. How did he fight this battle?

If we fight for five or seven days and then come back with wounded soldiers all over the place, we can barely say that the officers and soldiers are unstoppable.

But it’s only been two days.

Could it be that Xia Chixiao is still a God of War?
Xia Xinhe's eyes searched the crowd.

Where is Mei Shijie?

It's really more than enough to succeed.

A martial arts scholar followed the army and secretly used some small tricks to injure Xia Chixiao or even kill him. Could it be that he was afraid and didn't take action?
At this time, his eyes finally caught sight of Mei Shijie who was being tied up.

Xia Xinhe: "..."

So he took action and failed?

　I wish all my dear and lovely children a happy Mid-Autumn Festival, a reunion under the full moon, a happy family, and good health!
