As long as he thought that Qin Yining might be as miserable as these women, the anger in Pang Xiao's heart surged. Looking back at the more than 1,000 prisoners who were trapped behind them, Pang Xiao let out a deep breath and said only one word: "Kill."
Huzi immediately understood, and greeted the Pingnan army to go towards the captives.
When the bandits saw the murderous Pingnan Army coming, they were all frightened, and they kowtowed and begged for mercy.
"Forgive your life, ancestors, spare your life, we have surrendered!"
"Yeah, we will change our past and will never be bandits again, and the world is not good. We have no choice but to go to the mountains and become beards. We really don't have intentions!"
"Please forgive me, please forgive me, Your Majesty!"
…
Pang Xiao turned his eyes back and said coldly: "If this king lets you go, what will happen to the ordinary people who have been harmed by you? You are pitiful, and you have reason to be bandits and harm others
"You are men, but relying on your own strength to bully the weak and oppress the women of good families, don't you have mothers and sisters in your family? There are no daughters-in-law and daughters? conscience!
"This king dislikes people like you the most. If you have the ability, go to fight against foreign enemies! Go to the north to fight the Tartars! You have grown a lot of strength, but you use it to bully women! You people should be damned!"
Speaking of this, Pang Xiao said with awe: "Kill! These gangsters are heinous, and I won't leave any of them!"
"Yes!" For the first time, the remaining 900-odd members of the Southern Army were willing to obey Pang Xiao so sincerely.
Although they were bribed and wanted to make trouble for Pang Xiao, but in this battle, they really saw Pang Xiao's ability, such a neat command, they had never seen it before.
What's more, Pang Xiao's methods of dealing with the bandits and rescuing the people also convinced them, and no matter whether they were on opposite sides before, but now they are worthy of admiration just by looking at Pang Xiao as a human being.
They are soldiers, and what they despise the most are those who rely on their own strength to do bad things, get caught and put on his most pitiful face. What kind of skills are old people and children! .
For a time, blood filled Canglong Mountain, and the begging and screaming of the mountain bandits fused together.
Those women who were about to commit suicide, watching this scene like purgatory on earth, were all dumbfounded.
They had never seen so many people killed in one breath in their entire lives, but they were killed in the blink of an eye.
But although they are afraid, more of it is the pleasure of getting revenge.
Some women were crying, some were crying and laughing, and some were about to commit suicide. Pang Xiao quickly ordered people to stop them all.
"Even if you are homeless, can't you be stronger by yourself? Live for yourself? This king promises that after you go out, I will find a way to arrange work for you, and promise not to be bullied by you, so that you can eat with your hands. , Since you all survived in such a Longtan Tiger Den, can't you cherish your own life? This king will not spread around where you came from, just treat you as refugees and settle down, you believe me!"
Pang Xiao eagerly appeased everyone, and there were also many good-hearted people in the remaining Pingnan Army, and they followed suit. They were all clumsy and rough men, and they could not speak well, so they only persuaded in the most sincere way. .
"Big sister, you are still young, why would you die for someone else's mouth?"
"Little girl, look what a pity it would be if you died. Wouldn't it be painful if your parents knew?"
…
Surrounded by such kindness, the women finally couldn't help but indulge their emotions and burst into tears, but everyone put down the idea of seeking short-sightedness.
When Pang Xiao listened to the continuous mournful cries, he felt uneasy in his heart.
He turned around and instructed Huzi: "Go down the mountain to find the princess first, and ask her if there is any place in her village to accept these women temporarily. If the princess asks, you can tell the truth."
"Yes, I'll go right now." Hu Zi listened to the order and immediately rushed down the mountain.
Pang Xiao ordered people to count the treasures and valuables in Canglong Mountain's bandit village, and a small number of people who knew words registered the names, ages, places of origin, and expertise of the rescued people to facilitate management.
He is not in a hurry to bring people down the mountain now, because nearly 500 of the 700 people rescued are women, and even if he brings them back to the military camp, there is no place to place them. Might as well wait for news here.
—
Qin Yining is hugging and coaxing Brother Han here.
Xu is the beginning of spring, and the child has contracted a little cold in the past two days. Qin Yining's distress can't be added. Even though Bingtang has repeatedly assured that the child will be all right, she is still worried that she has not slept all night. Brother Han and Brother Zhao both took medicine at this moment. Brother Zhao was coaxed by Bingtang, but Qin Yining was actually coaxing Brother Han, who was more seriously ill. The two children had just fallen asleep, and the warm curtain in front of the door was lifted. Ji Yun walked in quietly, bowed his knees, and pointed to the outside.
Qin Yining knew what was going on, hummed a little tune in a low voice, put the child in the cradle, and whispered to the nurse to take good care of her, and then she walked out of the warm house.
Arriving under the corridor, Qin Yining gathered Yun Jian's shoulders and said in a low voice, "What's wrong?"
"Princess, Huzi is back, saying that the prince has something to tell you."
Qin Yining nodded and went to see Hu Zi immediately.
The soft armor on Huzi's body is black, but he can't see the dried blood, but his hair is messy, and there is a faint smell of blood on his body. It looks like he has experienced a fierce battle.
Qin Yining stepped forward worriedly, and said anxiously, "What happened?"
Hu Zi hurriedly saluted and explained with a smile, "Don't worry, princess, these are all the blood of those bandits. The prince was not injured, and I was not injured. Today, the prince is taking us to suppress the bandits."
"Suppressing bandits?" When Qin Yining heard about bandit suppression now, he subconsciously thought it was the plan they discussed before.
But after thinking about it, the Sitong number doesn't have that many guards, so Huzi, who often follows Pang Xiao, is not going to go into battle to kill the enemy and get blood stained, so they should really go to suppress the bandits .
Qin Yining asked carefully about what happened today.
Hu Zijiang explained how the chaos in the Pingnan army camp, how Pang Xiao arranged them all, and finally talked about those women who had nowhere to go and wanted to commit suicide.
"The lord managed to persuade them to stop, but there are still many women who can't think of it, and quickly seek death. It's really pitiful, the camp is full of gentlemen, and there is no way to take these women back, so the lord Just come and ask the princess to see if there is any way to settle them, if you have any work in the village, let them do it first, and give them a way to live."
When Qin Yining listened to Hu Zi's words, she 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 have to find a way to come out.
Qin Yining said: "Don't worry, there is a lot of farm work to be done on Zhuangzi, and my former son just discussed with the shopkeeper Zhong Da that we want to set up a silk factory and a weaving factory, and we will need women to work mulberry, silkworm and weaving. Even if there is no For this matter, I am going to find other people, if these women are willing, they can all come to me."
Hu Zi was overjoyed when he heard this, "Princess, you are such a good person!"
He bowed to Qin Yining and said, "I'll go back and tell the lord that he must be very happy. You don't even blink when the lord kills those bandits, but what the lord doesn't like most is to let innocent people die in vain."
Qin Yining laughed, and said with curved eyebrows: "I know that he is the kindest and softest person at heart."
More importantly, Pang Xiao is a person who can think from a woman's point of view.
This point, she could see that when Qin Yining was kidnapped and taken to the Tatar, Pang Xiao took the risk of disobeying the decree to find her, and she never doubted her at all.
Hu Zi was happier than anything when he heard Qin Yining compliment him on Prince An. He happily saluted Qin Yining, asked about the situation at home, and hurriedly walked outside.
Qin Yining then instructed someone to find the shopkeeper Zhong Da to arrange the arrangements for the women.
"Princess, we haven't fully grasped the matter of setting up a factory yet, and the factory site has not yet been selected. I'm afraid we still have to settle people in Zhuangzi first."
"I think so too. During this time, I can let them study first." Qin Yining smiled.
But the shopkeeper Zhong Da was a little worried: "Princess, what I mean is, if these weak women are arranged to go to Zhuangzi, I am afraid it will arouse dissatisfaction in many people's hearts, especially the chief shopkeeper Xia. You have just released Zhuangzi. As for those tenants' rents, the shopkeeper Xia is probably jumping at the moment."
Qin Yining laughed and said, "I know what you mean, but let's just do our thing and don't pay attention to what other people think. If he is dissatisfied, he can come to me directly."
Seeing Qin Yining smiling so calmly and happily, shopkeeper Zhong Da also felt open in his heart, and laughed along with him.
The shopkeeper Zhong Da took the manpower to implement the arrangements for the women's room and board.
When Huzi returned to Canglong Mountain, he saw dozens of carriages winding the mountain road, each with gold and silver treasures, porcelain, silk and satin, and even furniture of red sandalwood and huanghuali.
Hu Zi smacked his tongue: "My darling, these bandits can loot, where did they get so many valuables!"
"Isn't it all from robbery? They have looted all the big households around here." A soldier spat, and he didn't know whether he despised these bandits or envied them for making a fortune.
Hearing Hu Zi's reply, Pang Xiao remembered Qin Yining's confident appearance when he talked about setting up these women without any pressure, and his smile softened even more.
His wife has always been a smart and capable person.
With her helping her at home, he can work hard outside with peace of mind.
But when Pang Xiaoshuai's army was divided into two groups, some escorted the rescued people to Zhuangzi for resettlement, and some escorted the treasures back to the barracks, there was silence in Yang Zhifu's mansion and the study in the outer courtyard.
