There were few people inciting emotions among the victims. Everyone recalled that the food they ate these days was the food that Prince Zhongshun and the princess tried their best to obtain, and everyone's anger was much calmed.

Regardless of whether the emperor is attentive to them, at least Prince Zhongshun and Li Zhixian have done their best.

They were instigated by others to riot when they were in panic.

But after venting their emotions, many people regretted it again, and they even began to worry about whether they would be held accountable.They no longer continued to rush into the Yamen violently, but there were bursts of crying from the crowd.

This grief made everyone feel the same, and the cries of the victims became louder and louder, shaking people's hearts.

Qin Yining leaned against Pang Xiao, and she shed tears in sadness when she heard such sad crying.

Pang Xiao rubbed Qin Yining's shoulders, and then said loudly: "Don't be afraid, everyone. Since this king has already accepted the order and came here, he will definitely do his job as a disaster relief ambassador. The earth dragon turned over and was destroyed. Many roads make it even more difficult for food to be transported into the city, but these things will be solved by the king. Please stay calm and don't waste your energy."

Some people who were sobbing and crying said loudly: "How can we trust you?"

"Yeah, we have been trapped here for so long, so many people have died in vain, and there are many injured people who shouldn't have lost their lives!"

"Your disaster relief people come so slowly and come empty-handed. How can you tell us people like us to believe you?"

...

Everyone is a poor person. They have lost their relatives more or less in this disaster, and Li Qitian's actions are really chilling, no wonder the people in the disaster area bear hatred in their hearts.

In fact, Pang Xiao and Qin Yining did not agree with Li Qitian's approach.

But in their position, they couldn't say a word about Li Qitian, so they could only guarantee that they would never abandon any common people.

The two of them were able to suppress a riot.Did not cause serious losses.

If today’s riots develop, even if Pang Xiao’s martial arts are superb and there are experts to protect him, but a good tiger can’t resist a pack of wolves, the frantic people rushing forward, they will be tied up again, will it cause it? The more serious consequences are still unknown.

Finally pacified the victims, Pang Xiao took Qin Yining to discuss countermeasures with Li Zhixian and Gong Zhifu.

In a clearing, everyone sits on the ground regardless of their status, and the Long Xiangjun also surrounds them.

The governor Gong said: "The situation is now clear. Although the sage's relief money has not arrived, the money donated by the prince has been enough for a long time, but the transportation is inconvenient. We have nowhere to buy rice. Those big households in China had rice, but they killed the price of brown rice for ten taels of silver and one stone, and refused to reduce the price at all. If they were based on ten taels of silver and one stone, they would buy medicine and rice. They didn’t know how long they could support the lives of these people .

Pang Xiao gritted his teeth and said: "Those dog thieves who are unkind!"

Everyone's heart is heavy, because when the people are suffering, some people gather together to find a way, and there are also morally degraded families like the Ding and Pei families standing by and watching jokes.

Such a strong contrast is embarrassing.

But the victims of the disaster did not understand their difficulties. They only saw the food and money that the Holy Spirit did not give to the disaster relief. Many people starved to death.

Relief is not only to keep the victims alive.From the perspective of Sage, the more important thing is to stabilize people's hearts.

If the former cannot be achieved, we are afraid of losing popular support.If the latter can't do it, it may cause a murder!

Qin Yining pursed her lips. In fact, there was a cruel method circling in her mind, but she never said it.

Today, seeing so many suffering people, she finally stopped hesitating and said firmly: "Actually, I have a way to temporarily relieve the urgent need without money. It's just that this way is too shameful..."

Everyone looked at Qin Yining.

Pang Xiao thoughtfully said: "What is your way?"

"Robbery the rich and help the poor."

Qin Yining pursed his lips and twisted his eyebrows after speaking, unable to speak for a long time.

Li Zhixian said: "The official understands the imperial concubine's meaning, but we don't have enough people in our hands. If we are to attack those big households, we may not be able to grab food at all, which will only increase casualties."

The governor Gong also nodded: "That's the case. Besides, if we rob those people, we are afraid that we will be charged in the end."

Qin Yining pursed his lips, closed his eyes and said, "But, what if the people who ran into those big households are victims?"

Everyone was stunned.

Pang Xiao hugged Qin Yining distressedly, and patted her back comfortingly, regardless of everyone's sight.

"Sister Yi, embarrass you."

Qin Yining shook his head, gently pushed Pang Xiao away, and said, "You may think that this method I think is too damaging. Because once the victims rush into the rich with anger, it will definitely cause serious casualties on both sides. Moreover, the victims of the disaster rushed into the magnificent homes, and things like beating, smashing, looting and burning are simply unavoidable. Even some elderly people, children and women will...

p; "However, I really can't think of other ways to save so many people.

"The Holy Treasury is empty, and I don’t know when the food and grass will be delivered. However, the people in the disaster-stricken areas have to eat and take medicine every day. As this continues, the people’s grievances are everywhere, and the Holy Land is not stable. The most important thing is that I am afraid of these people. , Will become victims.

"Although this method of impacting large households is cruel, although there are casualties, compared with all the people starving to death, to the point where it eventually develops to the point where it is easy to eat, this is the method with the least casualties."

Qin Yining lowered his head and murmured: "I have come up with such a cruel method, maybe I will go to 18 levels of hell in the future."

"Sister Yi, don't say that." Pang Xiao smiled, and put his arms around her shoulders comfortingly: "I understand what you mean and what you think, just like when I killed people on the battlefield, I was actually Those who can't cut the sword, because the opponent is also human, maybe there are people in everyone's family waiting to go home. If I cut it down, it will cause a family tragedy.

"However, I still can't hesitate when it's time to start. Because if I don't kill, they will not only kill me, but also kill more people. If I don't kill, the troubled times will not end, and the people will not be safe. It’s a good day. Sometimes killing hundreds of people can feel cruel and bloody. But when you think about it, the sacrifices of these people can get more people’s happiness, and it’s worth it.

"As for the killing, it doesn't matter if you go down to eighteen levels of hell after death. After all, the Buddhist school still has a saying, "If I don't go to hell, who will go to hell?"

Qin Yining could not help but muttered: "If I don't go to hell, whoever goes to hell... Yeah. I came up with such a shameful way. As long as more people can survive, the sacrifice of these few people is worth it, even if it is I recognized it when I went to hell. And such an action can play a role in killing chickens and monkeys. The other big households in cities and counties will not continue to bite the price after hearing about the fate here. We don’t want to grab them. We just want to ask for a fair price for the food."

The more Qin Yining said, the more firm his mind became, and his eyes also cast aside the weakness of his talent, and became firm and wise.

Everyone present at this time understood what Qin Yining meant.

They thought about it carefully. Indeed, when there are no soldiers and horses to suppress, the only way to reduce casualties and keep most people alive is to instigate a riot and allow the victims to mobilize and seize food from the large households.

The law does not blame the people, so how can the saint be held accountable for the actions of a large group of victims?

It's just this matter that pitiful those victims.The old and weak women and children of those big families.After all, they are not decision makers, but they have to simply pay for their lives.

When everyone looked at Qin Yining, their eyes changed.

How clever and decisive is a woman who can think of such a decision?She is compassionate, and she will feel guilty for those who are about to die, but her purpose is to save more people.Although the method is cruel, who can blame it?

That night, Qin Yining suffered from insomnia.

She tossed and turned, and couldn't sleep. What appeared before her was a scene of mobs rushing into large families to burn, kill, and looting, and another scene of miserable women and children being abused.

It was easy to fall asleep, but was awakened by a nightmare.

Pang Xiao was awakened by Qin Yining's screams in her dream. Seeing the tears on her face, she couldn't help but hug the person tightly in her arms with distress.

"Sister Yi, you did nothing wrong. There is nothing wrong with your approach. If there is a mistake, the culprit is the one above, not you."

"But someone will die because of my method."

"But most of the people will survive because of your method. Not only the people in Yang County, but all the people in the rest of the disaster area, will survive because of your method."

Qin Yining leaned on Pang Xiao's shoulder, closed his eyes and nodded.

In the face of cruel reality, only by putting away the weakness can we move forward.

In the early morning of the next day, the victims learned of the practice of being unkind: Prince Zhongshun went to buy grain, half of the grains of sand and half of brown rice, but the grains rose to twelve taels of silver and one stone. They also knew that Prince Zhongshun went to eat several times and closed their doors because of insufficient silver. There was no way to buy rice locally, and the people suddenly became angry.

After noon, the victims rioted and news came that they rushed to the Ding and Pei houses.

At the same time, Hu Zi took a five-flower-tied man in front of Pang Xiao and Qin Yining.

"Back to the prince, they were recruited only after the two people's careful interrogation yesterday. It is true that someone ordered them to deliberately incite the emotions of the victims, which caused the victims to have a riot as big as yesterday. This person is behind the scenes."

The two looked down, looking at Madam Lu who was lying on the ground with a rag stuffed in her mouth with complicated eyes.

Qin Yining said solemnly: "Why are you? Didn't you go back to the country house? Why are you here and do that kind of thing? Do you know that because of your actions, the riot happened yesterday? How many people died when trampling?"

Madam Lu bit the rag and glared.

Qin Yining said, "Pick her off and let her talk."

"Yes."

Huzi immediately took the rag away.

Mrs. Lu was like a huge cicada pupa. It took a long time to sit on the side with all her strength, looking up at Pang Xiao, then at Qin Yining, and said, "I just want the victims to live. What's wrong with me!"
