Return of the Swallow

Chapter 714 Settling down

As long as he thinks that Qin Yining may suffer as much as these women, the anger in Pang Xiao's heart will churn. Turning his head and glaring angrily at the more than a thousand prisoners who were firmly trapped behind them, Pang Xiao let out a deep breath and said only one word: "Kill."

Huzi understood immediately, and greeted the Pingnan army and went towards the captives.

Seeing the Pingnan Army approaching with a murderous look, those bandits were so frightened that they kowtowed and begged for mercy.

"Forgive me, ancestors, forgive me, we have already surrendered!"

"Yeah, we will change our past mistakes in the future, and we will never be bandits again. It is because of the bad morals. We have no choice but to go to the mountains and become beards. We really don't mean it!"

"Please spare your life, please spare your life, Your Majesty!"

...

But Pang Xiao looked back, and said coldly: "If this king lets you go, what will you do to the ordinary people who have been harmed by you? You are pitiful, so you have a reason to be a bandit and harm others?

"You are men, but relying on your own strength, bullying the weak, and oppressing women from good families, don't you have mothers and sisters in your family? Do you have no wives and daughters? You spoil other women's women, and never think about whether you are sorry conscience!

"This king hates people like you the most. You have the ability to fight against foreign enemies! Go to the north to fight the Tartars! You have gained strength, but you use it to bully women! You people should die!"

Speaking of this, Pang Xiao said in a dignified manner: "Kill! These gangsters are heinous, not one will be left behind!"

"Yes!" For the first time, the remaining 900 Pingnan troops were so willing to obey Pang Xiao.

Although they were bribed to cause trouble for Pang Xiao, but in this battle, they really saw Pang Xiao's ability, such a clean command, they had never seen it before.

What's more, Pang Xiao's methods of dealing with bandits and helping the people also convinced them sincerely. Regardless of whether they were on the opposite side before, but now they only look at Pang Xiao as a person, which is worthy of admiration.

They are soldiers, and what they look down on the most are those who rely on their own strength to do evil, and when they are caught, they still look like they are the most pitiful and helpless. What kind of skills are old people and children! .

For a moment, the Canglong Mountain was filled with blood, and the bandits begged for mercy and screamed together.

Those women who were about to commit suicide, seeing this scene that looked like a purgatory on earth, were all stunned.

They have never seen so many people killed in one go in their entire life, and they were killed in the blink of an eye. The strong smell of blood soared to the sky, making people want to vomit.

But although they were afraid, they were more happy to have their revenge avenged.

Some women were crying, some were crying and laughing, and some wanted to commit suicide. Pang Xiao quickly ordered people to stop them all.

"Even if you are homeless, can't you be stronger yourself? Live for yourself? I promise that I will find a way to arrange work for you after I go out, and I promise that no one will bully you, so that you can eat with one hand , since you have all survived in such a Longtan and Tiger Den, can't you cherish your own life? This king will not spread everywhere where you came from, and only treat you as refugees to resettle, you believe me!"

Pang Xiao eagerly appeased everyone, and there were many kind-hearted people in the remaining Pingnan Army, who also persuaded them. They were all clumsy rough men, and they couldn't speak politely, and they only tried to persuade them sincerely. .

"Big girl, you're still young, why would you die for someone else's opening your mouth?"

"Little girl, look at what a pity it would be if you died. Wouldn't your parents die of pain if they knew?"

...

Surrounded by such kindness, the women finally couldn't help indulging their emotions and burst into tears, but everyone let go of their thoughts of suicide.

Hearing the continuous mournful cries, Pang Xiao felt uncomfortable after all.

He turned around and told Huzi: "Go down the mountain to find the princess first, and ask if there is any place in her village to temporarily accept these women. If the princess asks, you should tell the truth."

"Yes, I'll go right away." Hu Zi rushed down the mountain immediately after hearing the order.

Pang Xiao ordered people to count the treasures and valuables in the bandit village of Canglong Mountain, and the other few who could read and write registered the names, ages, places of origin and skills of the rescued people for the convenience of management.

He is not in a hurry to take people down the mountain now, because out of the 700 people rescued, nearly 500 are women, and even if he brings them back to the military camp, there is nowhere to put them. It's better to wait for the news here.

*

Here Qin Yining is hugging Brother Han and coaxing her.

Maybe it's spring, the child has caught a little bit of cold these two days, Qin Yining's heartache couldn't be more distressed, even though Bingtang repeatedly assured that the child would be fine, she was still so worried that she didn't fall asleep all night. Brother Han and Brother Zhao both took medicine at the moment. Brother Zhao was being coaxed by Bingtang, while Qin Yining was coaxing Brother Han who was more seriously ill. The two children had just fallen asleep when the noren curtain in front of the door was raised. Jiyun walked in quietly, bowed his knees to salute, and pointed outside.

Qin Yining knew what was going on, hugged the baby and hummed a little tune in a low voice, put the baby in the cradle, whispered to the wet nurse to take good care of it, and then tiptoed out of the warm pavilion.

When he got to the corridor, Qin Yining put his shoulders together, and said in a low voice: "What's wrong?"

"Princess, Huzi is back and said that the prince has something to tell you."

Qin Yining nodded, and immediately went to see Hu Zi.

The soft armor on Huzi's body was black, and there was no trace of dried blood, but his hair was disheveled, and there was a faint smell of blood on his body, so it looked like he had experienced a fierce battle.

Qin Yining stepped forward worriedly, and asked anxiously, "What happened?"

Hu Zi hurriedly saluted, and explained with a smile: "Don't worry, princess, these are the blood of those bandits. The prince was not injured, and neither was I. Today, the prince took us to suppress the bandits."

"Suppress the bandits?" Qin Yining heard about the bandit suppression now, subconsciously thought it was the plan they had discussed before.

But after thinking about it, there are not so many guards on the Stone, so that Huzi, who often follows Pang Xiao, would not have to fight the enemy and get bloody, so they should really go to suppress the bandits .

Qin Yining asked carefully about what happened today.

Huzi Jiang explained how the Pingnan army camp was in chaos, and how Pang Xiao arranged it all. Finally, he talked about those women who had nowhere to go and wanted to commit suicide.

"My lord managed to persuade them, but there are still many women who can't think about it, and they are looking for death. It's really pitiful. There are all gentlemen in the camp, and there is no way to take these women back, so the lord Come here to ask the concubine to see if there is any way to settle them down. Is there any work in your village, let them do it first, at least give them a way out."

Listening to Hu Zi's words, Qin Yining could think of the tragic scene at that time, and she was already moved with compassion. Not to mention that she really had a place to settle these people, even if she didn't, she would still find a way out.

Qin Yining said: "Don't worry, there is a lot of farm work to be done in the village, and my son just discussed with Zhong Da shopkeeper about setting up a silk factory and a weaving factory, planting mulberry, raising silkworms and weaving. Women are needed to do the work. Even if there is no For this matter, I will also find other people to come, if these women are willing, they can all come to me."

When Huzi heard this, his face was overjoyed, "Princess, you are really a good person!"

He made a bow to Qin Yining and said, "I'll go back and tell the lord that the lord must be very happy. You don't even blink when you kill those bandits, but what the lord dislikes the most is letting innocent people die in vain."

Qin Yining laughed, and said with crooked eyebrows, "I know, he is the most kind-hearted and soft-hearted person."

More importantly, Pang Xiao is a person who can think from the perspective of a woman, and he doesn't have so many stereotypes in his heart, and treats women so contemptuously.

This point, when Qin Yining himself was kidnapped to Tatar, Pang Xiao took the risk of resisting the order to find her, and he never doubted her at all, she could see it.

Huzi was happier than anything else when he heard Qin Yining praise himself as Prince An, he saluted Qin Yining happily, asked about the situation at home, and hurried outside.

Qin Yining then ordered someone to find the shopkeeper Zhong Da to arrange the settlement of those women.

"Princess, we have not fully grasped the matter of setting up a factory, and the site of the factory has not been selected. I am afraid that we still have to settle people in Zhuangzi first."

"I think so too. During this period of time, we can let them study first." Qin Yining smiled.

Shopkeeper Zhong Da was a little worried and said: "Princess, what I mean is that if these weak girls are arranged to go to Zhuangzi, I am afraid that it will cause dissatisfaction in many people's hearts, especially shopkeeper Xia. You just dismissed Zhuangzi What about the renters of those tenants, shopkeeper Xia Da may be jumping at the moment."

Qin Yining laughed and said: "I know what you mean, but let's just do our own thing and don't care about other people's thoughts. If he is dissatisfied, he can just come to me directly."

Seeing Qin Yining smiling so calmly and cheerfully, shopkeeper Zhong Da felt relieved, so he also laughed.

The shopkeeper Zhong Da took the manpower to implement and arrange the board and lodging of those women.

When Hu Zi returned to Canglong Mountain, he saw dozens of carriages winding on the mountain road, each of which contained gold and silver treasures, porcelain silk and satin, and even red sandalwood and huanghuali furniture.

Huzi clicked his tongue: "My darling, these bandits are capable of looting, where did they get so many valuable things!"

"Aren't they all from robbery? They have looted all the big households around here." Some soldiers spat, but they didn't know whether they despised these bandits or were jealous of them getting rich.

After hearing Huzi's reply, Pang Xiao softened his smile even more when he thought of Qin Yining's confident appearance when he talked about settling these women without any pressure.

His wife has always been a smart and capable person.

With her at home to help her manage the house, he can work hard outside with peace of mind.

But when Pang Xiao's army divided into two groups, some of them escorted the rescued people to Zhuangzi, and some escorted the treasures back to the barracks, there was silence in the prefect Yang's mansion and the study in the outer courtyard.
