Chapter 640 Retribution
"In order for the soldiers to eat meat, Governor Mei took the lead in eating meat. After eating it once, he vomited in a mess, and then he lay on the bed and went on a hunger strike. Every time the sinners force-fed Governor Mei, he survived to this day."

Magui said so.

"The meat..."

"They are all the corpses of those who died of starvation or those who died of serious injuries. There is absolutely no one alive. This is the bottom line of Governor Mei, and also... the bottom line of all the defenders. There is really no food to eat in the city. The northern captives suddenly attacked, and the town of Datong only had food for five days, we really had no other choice..."

Ma Gui's words made Xiao Ruxun feel sad for a while.

"Don't talk, don't talk, let's go see Governor Mei first, and we will talk about the rest slowly."

Xiao Ruxun can only appease them first and block the news as much as possible. As for the future...

To be honest, he really had no idea.

The scene in Datong City, to be honest, is really terrifying, that is, Xiao Ruxun has seen even more terrifying scenes with his own eyes, so he didn't think it was too scary, but the three or five soldiers who followed Xiao Ruxun into the city already had expressions on their faces. It was ugly.

The current Ming Dynasty has not yet reached that time, and the current Ming Dynasty is generally stable. The thing of Yizi Xiangeclipse is just a concept that exists in everyone's mind, and it is not something that has actually happened, seen, and is very used to. If it was changed to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty and the end of the Western Jin Dynasty, then this kind of thing would be very common.

But not now.

Xiao Ruxun saw the gray-faced soldiers and the gray-faced surviving residents of the city. Their eyes were different from the people outside.

"Take my token and go to General Li Rusong, and ask him to send someone to cook and send food to the refugees and soldiers in the city. Remember, no meat, but vegetables."

Xiao Ruxun instructed a soldier beside him in this way, the soldier nodded, and immediately turned around and left.

"How many soldiers and residents are there in the city?"

Xiao Ruxun asked Ma Gui.

"There used to be 3000 soldiers in the city, and [-] mobilized strong men. Now there are more than [-] people in total. The population used to be more than [-], and now it is about [-]."

Xiao Ruxun nodded.

The loss of soldiers and horses was particularly large, and the population loss was nearly half. The two-month siege had exhausted Datong. These residents could no longer stay in Datong. And never mention that they are from Datong, otherwise, after the news spreads, they will become the target of public criticism.

They must be mobilized to leave Datong before this, pretending to be ordinary refugees, and mixing with other places in Shanxi to live.

In a short period of time, it is best not to live in Datong Town.

The same is true for these soldiers, let them leave here as soon as possible, go to Shanxi, break up and join the army horses in various places, mix in, change their appearance, and forget about their miserable experience in Datong City for the past two months.

There are so many of them that it is difficult to distinguish their identities, which is easy to handle, but what should we do with the two big officials, Ma Gui and Mei Guozhen?
When Xiao Ruxun saw Mei Guozhen, Mei Guozhen was lying on the bed with his eyes closed and motionless. He was so thin and out of shape that he looked like a mummy from a distance. He couldn't tell that he was in Ningxia at that time There was no trace of the brave scribe who raised his three-foot sword and killed the enemy general with the high-spirited look he had when he was fighting.

It's like a person lying in a coffin waiting to die.

"Mr. May."

He obviously thought about thousands of words, but when he walked in front of Mei Guozhen, Xiao Ruxun could only say these three words.

Mei Guozhen opened his eyes, looked at Xiao Ruxun, a gleam appeared in his eyes, his lips moved, as if he wanted to say something, but soon, the gleam disappeared, and he closed his eyes again.

"The cannibals are full of crimes and dare not argue for themselves. I also ask Governor Xiao to play for me. Your Majesty, please behead me, but please forgive the soldiers in the city. Once the guilt is met, I, Mei Guozhen, will bear it all."

He only had this sentence.

Xiao Ruxun took a deep breath, and then smiled.

"Mr. Mei, I haven't seen you for so long. Is this the only way to talk to old people? We had a hasty farewell three years ago, and we haven't seen each other until now. Now that we meet again, why do you close your eyes and say nothing?"

Although Mei Guozhen had his eyes closed, when Xiao Ruxun said this, his body trembled unnaturally, and a few tears fell from the corners of his eyes.

"Sinners dare not lie that they are the governor's old friend."

Xiao Ruxun sat beside Mei Guozhen's bed, and waved everyone away except Ma Gui.

"There are only the three of us here now, is there anything we can't say?"

Xiao Ruxun reached out and took Mei Guozhen's withered hand.

Mei Guozhen turned his head, looked at the room with only three people, and then at Xiao Ruxun, tears finally broke down uncontrollably.

"Ji Xin, I really thought we would never see each other again in this life..."

Mei Guozhen cried miserably, and Ma Gui also cried miserably. The iron-blooded man whose face remained unchanged facing thousands of enemy troops, burst into tears at this very moment.

After venting the distress in their hearts to their heart's content, the three of them opened their hearts and said everything they wanted to say.

"I never expected that such a thing would happen. Although I have heard about it before, but I have experienced it. I still don't believe it. I can't imagine that someone would introduce foreign enemies for money, just want to kill themselves For this reason, they spared the lives of border guards and common people, and they have been so daring in deceiving their superiors and inferiors!"

Mei Guozhen held Xiao Ruxun's hand tightly: "Ji Xin, can you imagine? I asked them to provide some food to help the Ming Dynasty overcome this difficulty. Is this a loan or not? A dog thief who is not as good as an animal, facing my [-] soldiers, actually only took out [-] shi of grain, which is only enough for the soldiers to eat for a day! One day!
These bastards, these thieves, occupy the military fields of the soldiers, and eat their own brains. Not only do they not pay taxes, but they also resist other taxes. The money and food seemed to be theirs, and no one else had anything to do with it. I have never seen such an ugly person.

These local officials and gentry all advertise themselves as moral gentlemen and models of morality, but behind their backs, men and women are thieves and prostitutes, doing all the deeds of cutting off children and grandchildren!Are they really not afraid of retribution from heaven for doing this?Are you really not afraid? ! "

Xiao Ruxun held Mei Guozhen's hand tightly.

"They have already suffered retribution, Mr. Mei, don't worry, they have indeed suffered retribution, and they are the ones who facilitated this trip of the northern captives to the south, but they never thought that Lalik had no intention of doing what they said at all.

None of the big households living in the city captured by Lalik after he went to Shanxi survived. What Lalik did was to kill and burn all these bastards. It is inconvenient for us to do it. Lalik will help we did. "

Mei Guozhen's eyes widened.

"Really? How could this be? How could Lalik do this?"
