Chapter 65 (1/2)
”Bai Qi, what's going on here?”
Ying Ji looked at Bai Qi, who had been sent to distribute food, brought back thousands of people. He couldn't help but wonder.
”Tell me back to you, Mr. Meng is the most respected person in dozens of miles. This time, I heard that when the young master returned to Xianyang, he passed by here and distributed food. I don't know what happened. Thousands of people wanted to come to see him!”
Bai Qi replied that Ying Ji couldn't help but wonder more about what was going on to make the most respected man in the area of tens of miles gather thousands of people to see him.
”Mr. Meng, I am Ying Ji, the son of Qin. I don't know what I need to see me for?”
Ying Ji dismounted and said, but this time Ying Ji didn't claim to be lonely. However, when he learned that the young man was really Ji's son, he suddenly knelt down, and then thousands of people fell to their knees.
”Please make decisions for us, your highness!”
Old man Meng said with tears, and then thousands of people kneeling on the ground were Qi Qi, saying, ”please make decisions for us, your highness!”
”Please get up quickly, sir, and all the people. What is it that can make you do this, for Ying Ji, a 17-year-old boy?”
Ying Ji looked at the thousands of people, old and weak, men and women, kneeling down to themselves, his tone full of helplessness and sadness.
Ying Ji was in a hurry. I don't know when and where the character of the old Qin people has become like this. Ying Ji quickly pulls up Meng Lao and asks.
”Childe, it's not that we insist on preventing the young master from returning to Xianyang, but because we have to do so!”
Mencius said that the old Qin people are the most dedicated people in the world. They are hardworking and hardworking. If not, they suffered too much.
Mencius did not dare to summon thousands of people to stop Ying Ji's return to Xianyang. He wanted Ying Ji to make decisions for himself and others.
”Old gentleman, please say, if Ying Ji can do it, he will go all out!”
Ying Ji quickly promised to say, looking at Meng Lao and thousands of people who send out the breath of despair without any vitality, Ying Ji is also a pain, but also understand that this matter is not trivial.
”Childe, it is not our intention to do so. You should know that during the period when the childe was not in the state of Qin, there was great turbulence in the state of Qin.”
”First of all, the princes won the throne, and then the Chu army entered the country. Originally, we, the old people of Qin, thought it was nothing at first. After all, it was the internal struggle of the state of Qin in any case.”
”The state of Qin is also the state of Qin of our Qin people. Although you have increased taxes, the officers and soldiers under your command are also soldiers of the Qin Dynasty. Although the taxes have been increased, we have never hurt us, and we still bear it.”
”However, since the army of Chu entered the country of Qin, almost every few days soldiers of Chu would go to the surrounding people's residence, smash open the doors of people's houses and rob property and food.”
”Naturally, the villagers did not do it, so they argued with the soldiers and soldiers of Chu. However, they even killed people with swords and even raped women, and it has always been so since!”
”The villagers are all living in dire straits, and the old nephew's family was destroyed by the soldiers of Chu a year ago!”
”Even the infant is still in its infancy. The fire has been burning for three days and three nights. Poor nephew
Meng said as he cried. It's hard to imagine how heartbreaking an old man would feel when he was sad. A bolt from the blue flashed in Ying Ji's mind.
”Is that true, sir?”
Ying Ji asked incredulously. Up to now, Ying Ji didn't believe that he was not in the state of Qin. During this period of time, he only knew about the turmoil in the state of Qin. However, he didn't expect to reach such a level that even the people of Qin were injured.
”Young master, every word of Mencius is true.”
”Yes, young master, during the period when the young master was not in the state of Qin, the soldiers and soldiers of Chu came out from time to time to snatch money and food.”
”All the girls had to dress up ugly or hide themselves, but some of them were found out and committed suicide because they could not bear to be humiliated.”
”That's what happened to Cao min's daughter. My daughter was only 16 years old when she committed suicide. She left our wife like this before she even got married.”
……
Thousands of people are like this. You tell me the crimes of the Chu army one by one. Ying Ji lowers his head and his body trembles slightly. This is a sign that Ying Ji's anger is about to break out.
”Childe, poor Qin people!”
”In recent years, there have been no less than thousands of people killed by soldiers and soldiers of the state of Qin. Villagers have sent their girls to relatives in other places to take refuge.”
