Pig Killer

Chapter 291

"Is that so?" Shen Hui'e thought for a moment and said, "Let the homeless people live there first."

"How much talent is this?" Huang Zhongchang said with a frown.

"The money was distributed to people in South City and North City. Three or four generations of them have been living in these small, dilapidated houses." Shen Hui'e looked at him with her deep black eyes and said.

"Direct distribution, free of charge?" Huang Zhongchang raised his eyebrows and asked, "Is this appropriate?"

"Why is it inappropriate?" Shen Hui'e raised her eyebrows slightly, "You still want to divide people into different levels based on their regions?"

"I want to ask, what will happen to this official in the future?" Huang Zhongchang looked at her seriously and asked.

"The world is peaceful now, and there are more and more people. The city must be expanded." Shen Hui'e looked at him with her glassy eyes and said, "Re-plan it!"

"Hmm..." Huang Zhongchang looked at her without blinking.

"Why are you looking at me? Can the current capital be compared with the previous one?" Shen Hui'e said to him with her deep and clear eyes.

"It has expanded." Huang Zhongchang looked at her thoughtfully and said.

"That's it." Shen Hui'e looked at him with her bright black eyes and said, "What is the purpose of our rebellion? Isn't it to let the common people live a good life? That house is empty and there are things on it. On one side, the common people are crowded together. What are they doing?"

"Wait a minute, there aren't enough houses to go around!" Huang Zhongchang hesitated and looked at her and said, "If we can't divide them properly, we'll start a fight!"

"Easy, draw lots!" Shen Hui'e said quickly, "When you were building the imperial mausoleum, your family drew straw! It depends on God's will."

Huang Zhongchang shook his head and laughed, "That's true. Then let's draw lots." He suddenly remembered and said, "Wait a minute, this house is too big, and it can't accommodate a family!"

"While the house is still under construction, just divide the courtyard." Shen Hui'e said simply and easily, "Build a courtyard wall."

"Then I'll find someone to arrange it." Huang Zhongchang looked at her with deep and dark eyes and said, "If we do this, those wealthy merchants and nobles will hate us even more."

"Were they merciful when they oppressed us?" Shen Hui'e snorted coldly, "They even made us grateful for giving us a bite to eat. If you can't get rich, it's because you are not smart and hardworking!"

"Bullshit!" Huang Zhongchang cursed upon hearing this.

Shen Hui'e and the others were startled by the sudden incident.

"Be more polite." Shen Hui'e pressed down with both hands, "The children are here! Don't teach them bad things."

"No more talking, no more talking." Huang Zhongchang said embarrassedly.

"Hehe..." Shen Hui'e chuckled when she heard this.

"They asked us to thank them for their charity, what are they saying? Without us farming, they would have nothing to eat!" Huang Zhongchang said indignantly, "They are just born into good families, what's the difference between them and us? Look at how they cried and wailed when they were interrogated. The children even betrayed their own parents in order to save their lives." He really saw the ugliness of human nature!

"I'm afraid they'll hate me! You reap what you sow!" Shen Hui'e said with cold eyes, "It's just retribution, you deserve it!"

"You really don't know until you try it. It's really too scary." Huang Zhongchang looked at them with cold eyes and said, "You've learned a lot. It also scared our people."

"It's good to scare them! If we can scare them, we won't break the law." Shen Hui'e narrowed her eyes and said, "I hope our people will have a fearful heart and not do something like 'ignorance is not a crime'."

"You really let them participate from beginning to end. I almost memorized all those laws and regulations." Huang Zhongchang looked at her with a smile and said, "I didn't think it was illegal before, but after I learned about the law, I realized that it was also illegal! It really broadened my horizons."

"Don't break the law or violate military discipline. I don't want to kill them with my own hands." Shen Hui'e looked at him with her deep and bottomless eyes.

"No way! Can't this scene scare them?" Huang Zhongchang pursed his lips and said after hearing this.

"It's hard to say. People always have a lucky mentality, or they think they have done something great, so they dare to take risks." Shen Hui'e looked at them with her deep black eyes and said, "Especially those who care about us and are close to us. Would you dare to kill your relatives for the sake of justice?"

"Uh..." Huang Zhongchang pursed his lips and looked at her.

"Don't look at me!" Shen Hui'e looked at him with her deep and penetrating eyes and said, "We have to face this eventually. We have to make some things clear while things are just beginning. Otherwise, if something really happens, so many comrades will be watching! If we don't punish them, and open this loophole, the army's morale will be broken, and it will never be saved. If we turn a blind eye and everyone follows suit, what will you do?"

"I know." Huang Zhongchang nodded when he heard it.

"You must keep an eye on Da Chong's uncle, brothers-in-law, nephews, and nieces." Shen Hui'e looked at him with her shiny black eyes and said, "I will keep an eye on Da Chong's uncle and nephews. Don't embezzle or be greedy for money. If you want money, I will give it to you. It's not a reward of spoils of war. I will give it to them from my personal pocket. This way, no one will have anything to say." Then she added, "And the fellow villagers who grew up with us and rebelled with us."

"I see." Huang Zhongchang nodded heavily, "Why do you like to use the word rebellion? They are all uprisings."

"What's wrong with rebellion?" Shen Hui'e said to them with a smile on her lips.

"Mother, the word traitor doesn't sound good." Da Chong tilted his little face up, looked at her with innocent eyes and said.

"What's the good or bad thing? If you win, everything sounds good. If you lose, you will be charged with all kinds of crimes." Shen Hui'e said to them with her gentle eyes.

"Haha..." The big insect laughed when he heard this, "How should I put this?"

"History books are written by the victors." Shen Hui'e smiled at them with her bright black eyes.

"Mother, mother, can I tell my uncle and uncle what I just said?" Li Nu asked her with his bright eyes.

"Just say whatever you want to say! You can talk to Zhaoye, Que'er, A Zi, and Yuebao." Shen Hui'e looked at them tenderly and said, "You little sisters, you have your peers to talk about."

"Yeah!" The raccoon looked at her with his eyes like black grapes and nodded.

Shen Hui'e and her men sent their eldest brother and Zhang Jixian away, and started the campaign to suppress the bandits with their troops. No matter what, a blacksmith must be strong himself.

Otherwise, everything you say will be in vain.

The training of the new recruits was handed over to the veterans, and she would test the training results when she returned from suppressing the bandits.

Shen Hui'e, who had just returned from suppressing bandits, looked at the new recruits practicing sword swinging in the training ground and asked, "They are not lazy, are they?"

Huang Zhongchang tilted his head slightly and looked at his wife and said, "They are not lazy. They all feel that time is not enough and wish they could spend all twelve hours a day training. They are very motivated." Then he added, "This opportunity is rare and they are reluctant to waste it."

Shen Hui'e raised her lips and said, "We'll know after the test."

"Come on." Huang Zhongchang said confidently with a smile on his face, "Listening to the sound of killing, I can sleep peacefully." Looking at the new soldiers practicing hacking and killing, he said, "Is this the only way to practice?"

"How do you want to practice?" Shen Hui'e looked at him with interest.

"Straw man, make a straw man to practice." Huang Zhongchang said to her with his black and white eyes.

"It's because our knife is too sharp. This straw man can't withstand the chopping." Shen Hui'e said helplessly.

"Ah!" Huang Zhongchang looked at her in surprise and said, "Is it so sharp?"

"You can try it." Shen Hui'e said with amusement, looking at him in surprise.

"Shall I give it a try?" Huang Zhongchang raised his eyes and walked towards them.

"Come back, come back." Shen Hui'e quickly called him.

"What's wrong?" Huang Zhongchang turned around and looked at her in confusion.

"Practice in the room later." Shen Hui'e hesitated for a moment and said, "Let's make a straw man in the room to practice."

Huang Zhongchang was stunned when he heard this, then he said with a smile, "Are you afraid that I will show my weakness?"

"What do you think?" Shen Hui'e looked him up and down and said, "How good are your skills? Others may not know, but don't you know it yourself?"

"Hey, hey! Back then, when I traveled all over the world, I was invincible." Huang Zhongchang said unhappily, "Otherwise, I wouldn't be fine."

"You said you missed the old days, but a hero never brags about his past achievements. How long has it been since you touched a sword?" Shen Hui'e kindly reminded him.

"Uh..." Huang Zhongchang was speechless.

"Let's get some wooden dummies for the children to practice on." Shen Hui'e looked at him with gentle eyes.

"Wooden man?" Huang Zhongchang blinked and looked at her in confusion.

Shen Hui'e looked around and found that the camp was very clean.

"What are you looking for?" Huang Zhongchang looked at her curiously.

"Branches?" Shen Hui'e looked up at him and pointed at the big tree behind him, "Break a branch for me."

"What are you doing?" Huang Zhongchang turned around and raised his arm to break off a branch for her.

"I'm going to draw you a wooden man!" Shen Hui'e took the branch from his hand and said, "Like this." She smiled and said, "It's for children to practice martial arts."

"You have quite a lot of tricks." Huang Zhongchang stared at the wooden man she drew on the yellow earth ground.

"When fighting, fists and feet have no eyes. It's not good to hurt anyone. Use the wooden man to practice..."

Before Shen Hui'e finished speaking, Huang Zhongchang shook his head and laughed, "I'm sure you're the one who got hurt."

"Bandage your legs!" Shen Hui'e pointed at her arm and said, "It's all done. It doesn't hurt that much."

"Is it true or false?" Huang Zhongchang looked at her in disbelief.

"You'll know if you try it." Shen Hui'e said to him with raised eyebrows.

"I will definitely try it and see if it hurts." Huang Zhongchang said seriously.

"I hope you can hold on." Shen Hui'e looked at him with amusement and said, "Hey! Aren't you going to the County Magistrate's Mansion?"

"Let's go now." Huang Zhongchang looked at the gate and said, just in time to see Doctor Li carrying a medicine box and leading a donkey out, "Doctor Li's free clinic is not over yet!"

"No! Even with the doctors in the city, there is no end. There are too many sick people and too few doctors." Shen Hui'e pinched her brows and said, "Minor illnesses without money turn into serious ones, and even serious illnesses can kill people while they are sick."
