Pig Killer

Chapter 220

"We've sent someone out to get information." Huang Zhongchang looked at her with his dark eyes and said, "We can't be deaf and blind. We have to know the news outside."

"What are the details?" Shen Hui'e said as she looked at them with her eyes slightly narrowed.

"Specifically?" Zhang Jixian shook his head slightly and said, "I don't know."

"Then how did they find out?" Shen Hui'e looked at them in surprise.

"This is a great victory. The government has been announcing it everywhere with drums and gongs." Zhang Jixian looked at them with his dark eyes and said, "So we know it."

"What is the purpose of doing this?" Shen Hui'e looked at them with her ink-black eyes.

"Purpose?" Zhang Jixian looked at her with moving eyes.

"With such a high-profile move, everyone in the world knows about it." Shen Hui'e said as she looked at them with her ink-black eyes.

"Don't let us continue to rebel!" Huang Zhongchang said without thinking, "If they continue to commit crimes, their fate will be your tomorrow!" He blinked and said doubtfully, "Is this true or false?"

"I tend to think it's true." Shen Hui'e looked at them with her deep and bottomless eyes.

"Based on my sister-in-law's analysis, internal strife is bound to break out sooner or later." Zhang Jixian looked at them with his bright eyes and said, "Failure is inevitable."

"We all rebelled together. We were all born into the mud. I even know that you wet the bed when you were a child! Now that you've become the king, I want one too." Shen Hui'e said bluntly, "We both robbed the same mountain of gold and silver. Why did you get the most and I got the least? I don't accept it!"

Zhang Jixian's mouth twitched when he heard this. Although he thought so in his heart, he didn't say it out loud! There's no need to be so straightforward!

&*&

"Then this is true." Huang Zhongchang looked at them with his dark eyes and said, "Should we tell the brothers about this?"

"It's impossible to hide it!" Shen Hui'e told the truth.

"I think you should tell me!" Huang Zhongchang thought about it and said to him, "If someone doesn't agree with us, we can't stop him if he wants to leave."

"How many people will leave then?" Zhang Jixian frowned and said worriedly, "There weren't many people to begin with, how many will be left?"

"Quality is more important than quantity!" Huang Zhongchang looked at them with his dark and deep eyes, and said with his chin slightly raised, "I believe they will not leave."

"Why?" Zhang Jixian looked at him and asked, not quite understanding.

"How did we get out? We killed the supervisor and escaped. On the way, we robbed government offices and wealthy families. Any of these crimes is a capital crime punishable by treason." Huang Zhongchang said with a slight movement in his throat.

"You..." Shen Hui'e looked at the two of them sideways.

"Why are you so surprised? Or do you think we escaped without eating or drinking?" Huang Zhongchang looked at her with his deep black eyes and said, "If not, we would never have come back."

"No, no!" Shen Hui'e looked at them with clear eyes and shook her head slightly, "I just... you didn't kill innocent people indiscriminately! You didn't kill common people!"

"No, why would we kill common people? They are even poorer than us." Huang Zhongchang looked at her in surprise and raised his eyebrows, "Time doesn't allow us to stay! How could we dare to stay, for fear that the pursuers would catch up with us."

"Huh..." Shen Hui'e let out a long sigh of relief.

"We only robbed food, not gold, silver or jewelry." Huang Zhongchang said with regret, "That's gold!"

"It sounds like you're very regretful?" Shen Hui'e said as she looked at him with raised eyebrows.

"Of course I regret it." Huang Zhongchang smacked his lips and drooled. "That's gold, silver and jewelry! I've never seen so much in my life." He smiled and said, "I know food is important. What we lack most is food. Bringing gold and silver will be heavy and slow down our escape speed."

"Haha..." The big bug and the raccoon slave were amused by him.

"What are you laughing at?" Huang Zhongchang said with a hint of embarrassment in his eyes, saying this in front of the children.

"It's not good for the children to hear this!" Huang Zhongchang suddenly remembered.

"There's nothing wrong with it." Shen Hui'e looked at him with gentle eyes.

"They are still young." Huang Zhongchang looked at her seriously and said.

"Because they are young, they will be spared when bandits come! Will they be pardoned if their entire family is executed just because they are young?" Shen Hui'e looked at them with deep and bottomless eyes and said, "Even if he is pardoned, a child who has no ability to protect himself will have a future worse than death." She closed her eyes and said, "Listen! In today's world, people can only be forced to grow up. There is no innocence." She reached out and rubbed the child's head.

"Mother, we are not afraid." The big tiger looked at her with pure eyes and said.

"I like my mother and she didn't hide it from us." Li Nu said with his childish face looking at his mother.

Your mother...don't hide your biggest secret from the woman in front of you, Huang Zhongchang looked at her meaningfully and complained in his heart.

"Speaking of food, this is a headache!" Zhang Jixian frowned and looked at them and said, "We can't keep stealing it! Besides, if we take food from the common people, we will lose their support."

"We can just plant our own crops!" Huang Zhongchang said simply and easily, "Just like we planted winter wheat a few days ago, it only takes ten days or half a month. We can collect the taxes they pay! Then we will have food."

"It's not that simple." Zhang Jixian's eyes lit up when he heard that, but then he shook his head and said, "As you said, we have to defend our territory." His black eyes flickered and he continued, "If the other party is stronger than us, we have to evacuate. Then how can we move the crops planted in the fields? We will be giving them to others to do things for us."

"Uh..." Huang Zhongchang was speechless, "What should I do?"

"Also, we have few soldiers now. If we have more soldiers, the produce from these lands in the county won't be enough for us to eat!" Zhang Jixian said to them with a frown.

"The imperial court has granaries, let's rob them." Huang Zhongchang said happily like a child.

"The imperial court's granaries are heavily guarded, so we can't easily get them." Zhang Jixian frowned and looked at him and said, "And judging from the number of times we have collected grain, a lot of it has been consumed. In addition, officials have embezzled, so I doubt if there is any grain left in the granaries. It's possible that they are empty."

"Uh..." Huang Zhongchang looked at him anxiously when he heard that. Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he said with joy, "It's just like what my wife said. Those who pick up a knife are soldiers, and those who pick up a hoe are farmers." He looked at Shen Hui'e with burning eyes and said, "The seeds sown in the ground are born and raised by nature, and the harvest is enough for us to eat."

Shen Hui'e curled the corners of her lips slightly when she heard this. This guy really knows how to learn and apply what he has learned!

Zhang Jixian pursed his lips and looked at him. He paused for a moment and said, "Where's the land? What are you going to plant without land?"

"Reclaiming wasteland!" Huang Zhongchang said simply and easily.

"Where are the people?" Zhang Jixian continued to ask.

"Some of them don't go to the battlefield, so they farm! Or they are not in good health." Huang Zhongchang looked at him with his dark eyes and said, "We can plow the land, sow seeds, and harvest together. At other times, someone can take care of it."

"Swords have no eyes. If you are injured on the battlefield and can no longer fight the enemy, then you can retire and farm." Shen Hui'e said to them with her bright eyes.

"Now there is a way out for the wounded soldiers." Zhang Jixian looked at them with sparkling eyes and said, "What if we can't farm? What if we are seriously injured and lose our hands and feet?"

"Do something else!" Huang Zhongchang looked at him and said without thinking.

"What for?" Zhang Jixian frowned and looked at him and said, "This can't do anything." Suddenly he remembered, "Food and salary, food and salary, and we need silver. Where is the silver?"

"Silver?" Huang Zhongchang looked at them like a hungry wolf with green eyes and said, "Robbery! We can do it freely."

"No, no, it's easy to lose the support of the people. The rich and powerful are more powerful than the common people. We can't offend them easily." Zhang Jixian frowned and shook his head slightly, looking at them with his bright black eyes and said, "We still need them to provide food and money!" He said bluntly, "The common people can't squeeze out two ounces of oil."

"It's hard to talk to those people. They look down on us." Huang Zhongchang scratched his head and said, "Won't we be laughed at if we take money and food from them?"

"I say, you have a knife in your hand, what are you afraid of?" Zhang Jixian said, holding his hand on his neck, "Do they dare not give it to me? Just chop them off."

"Mr. Zhang, didn't you say that we can't lose the support of the people?" Huang Zhongchang looked at him with a puzzled look on his face and said, "Is this okay?"

"Tsk..." Zhang Jixian sneered, "There are many people who support us, not just them." He snorted coldly, "If they know what's happening, they will deliver it obediently. If they don't accept our toast, then we won't be polite anymore."

"No!" Shen Hui'e looked at Zhang Jixian with gloomy eyes.

"Why not?" Huang Zhongchang looked at the two of them and said, "Robbing them is not like robbing common people."

"You should be grateful for what you have received from others." Shen Hui'e looked at them with dark eyes and said to Zhang Jixian sharply, "Or what wish do you want to make for them?"

Zhang Jixian pursed his lips and looked at her, a look that made him feel uneasy.

"Let me put it this way! Promise him a high position and generous salary." Shen Hui'e said bluntly.

"They have received a comprehensive education, and they can serve as officials..." Under her sharp gaze, Zhang Jixian's voice became lower and lower until he fell silent.

The courtyard was suddenly completely silent, not even the chirping of insects.

The raccoon suddenly looked at her with his big, bright eyes and said, "Mother!"

Shen Hui'e blinked when she heard the voice, and the hostility in her eyes disappeared without a trace, "It's okay."

"Mother, what do you want to say?" The cat slave looked at her with concern, his big eyes like black grapes.

Shen Hui'e thought about it after hearing what he said, looking at them and said, "How should I put it? Using the nobles' money and grain, dividing some of the benefits with them, what's the difference from before." She pursed her lips and looked at Da Chong and the others and said, "Just like when I asked you to study before, what did you say?"
