Chapter 138: Starved to Death The Eldest

Princess, Grandma and Jin Niang felt extremely comfortable looking at Chu Lixuan, who was so lively and down-to-earth.

  I don't know if it was that time when Jin Niang forced a girl into her son's yard and was killed by Chu Lixuan in front of the maids and wives in the mansion.

  People in the capital always had rumors behind their backs that Chu Lixuan was arrogant and vicious.

  There are even more outrageous legends. The Marquis of Zhennan is not the most ferocious, only more ferocious.

  Some people even say that he likes to drink human blood and eat people's hearts, which is why he is so murderous and good at fighting...

  It is impossible to find out where this irresponsible and spreading rumors come from.

  Fortunately, the noble girls in the capital are still rushing to marry them into the palace.

  That's why Jin Niang didn't go out to fight with anyone, she just sighed in the house.

  Now that she is fine, she has a daughter-in-law, and her son is normal. Jin Niang wants to see who else will say that her son drank human blood...

  Unfortunately, they were exiled to a remote place.

  I guess there won't be many people talking about it anymore!

  Soon the smell of fish wafted over, making my mouth water.

  Chu Lixuan and his wife had enough food to feed hundreds of people, so it was rare that they didn't have to rush.

  Jiang Xinyan cooked another large pot of rice, and she personally made a delicious whole fish feast, and everyone had another full meal.

  Chu Ye could only watch helplessly, and she herself did not dare to plead for mercy.

  She kept winking at her mother, but Jin Niang pretended not to notice.

  This courtyard is well built and does not leak even during heavy rains. Now it houses seventy or eighty people and does not feel crowded.

  It's a pity that its owner abandoned it because there was no food to eat.

  The owner of this house, with his whole family, is probably getting wet at the gate of Fucheng!

  This group of people who fled famine followed the bandits and captured one town after another, eating up all the food in the town.

  They also led the people from the town to attack the county town. Some of them saved a little food for their families and planned to live in the county town and make a living.

  As we all know, county towns are easy to attack without soldiers, but the situation is different in Fucheng, where there are city defense officers and soldiers.

  However, the bandits are very ambitious people, and there are many ambitious people who follow them.

  After a long drought and the locust plague, the county's food supply is limited.

  There were too many people rushing in at once, and it would take a few days to have a full meal.

  The bandit leader felt that the city was very big and there should be a lot of food stored there.

  It's a pity that the gate of Fucheng is tightly closed, and there are still officers and soldiers protecting the city. No matter how much food is stored inside, they can't get in!

  There are many wealthy businessmen in the city, many officials, and many aristocratic families. It will take a year and a half for them to starve to death.

  However, there are many poor people in the city, and the probability of starving to death in two to three months is very high.

  If a lot of people crowd in from outside, it will definitely not last long.

  The most important thing is that the bandits are a ragtag group and cannot be attacked.

  Therefore, the heavy downpour drenched everyone at the gate of Fucheng.

  Fortunately, they didn't starve and were well fed after robbing all the way.

  There is an old saying from ancient times, the timid will starve to death and the bold will die of starvation.

  Those who were so hungry that their skin became sallow and their faces were thin were all honest villagers.

  The rich people in the town and county did not starve, and the bandits did not starve either.

  Those who were willing to spare themselves also robbed, but they had not gone hungry before.

  At this time, being soaked in the rain is retribution.

  The ghosts and wolves howled, especially the beautiful girls that the bandits had robbed.

  How could they stand such weather? Although there was a carriage, the rain was too heavy.
