Chapter 227 Chaotic Huaishui County
On today's construction site, there was a strong smell of meat. I saw dry firewood wrapped in flames, and seven or eight large iron pots were continuously heated by flames. Accompanied by a gurgling sound, pots of stewed meat and vegetables emitted a charming aroma.
The captive workers lined up in a long line, looking at the big iron pot one by one, greedily smelling the smell of meat in the air, saliva was swallowed again and again, and it spread inside the mouth again and again.
Liu Qizi stood in the middle of the team, staring at the pot of meat and vegetables like everyone else, with expectations in his eyes!
I'm going to eat meat today!
Because the county magistrate has a young master at home.
The county magistrate was kind and righteous, and he did not forget his own gang of prisoners who had offended him at the beginning of the meal.
Not long after, the team began to move slowly. The women in charge of cooking put a large spoonful of meat and vegetables into the prisoners' bowls, and the woman next to them handed over four freshly baked cakes!
After all the prisoners got the meat, vegetables and dry food, they immediately ran aside, and didn't care about the hot vegetables. They picked up a chopstick and stuffed the fat into their mouths.
At this time, it was Liu Qizi's turn. A large iron spoon of stew was put into the bowl. Liu Qizi glanced at it, and couldn't hide his excitement on his face. There was a lot of meat inside, almost half of the dish and half of the meat.
The four cakes are also made of yellow stick noodles. Compared with wild vegetable dumplings and bran woks, this is a good food!
Liu Qizi can no longer remember when he ate meat last time, so it should be the last time!
However, he vaguely remembered that he was still wearing open-crotch pants at that time!
After all, it will take at least ten years!
After finding a secluded place, Liu Qizi took the rice bowl, picked up the fat and thin stewed meat with chopsticks, then put it in his mouth, and chewed it gently, and the gravy suddenly exploded in his mouth.
In an instant, Liu Qizi felt that the pores in her body were a little open, and she felt a trembling feeling.
He had long forgotten what meat tasted, and this strange and pleasant taste from the bottom of his heart was something he had never felt before.
"It smells so good!"
Liu Qizi ate very slowly. He wanted to slowly taste the taste of the stewed meat. He also deliberately took off the brown crispy skin outside and put it in his mouth to chew it crispy and fragrant.
The remaining part was soaked in the vegetable soup, then stuffed it into your mouth, chewed it for a few times, and the paste soaked with gravy slid down the esophagus.
"The county magistrate asked me to eat meat."
"He's such a great good guy!"
"It is also my blessing to be a prisoner for the county magistrate!"
Liu Qizi sighed with emotion and rubbed the last bite of cake in his hand into the bowl, sticking the remaining meat residue and soup base to the cake, and the whole rice bowl was as clean as if it had never been used.
“The stew is so delicious!”
Liu Qizi said slowly with a smile.
Like Liu Qizi, many prisoners also showed joy on their faces, and they all said that the county magistrate was kind and righteous, and everyone had to do it well.
Perhaps, Lin Hongfei still underestimated the living conditions of these ordinary people. In his opinion, eating a bun with wild vegetables is a punishment.
But this is something that the prisoners dare not eat.
Lin Hongfei thought it was just a stew of meat, but this was the best delicacies that the prisoners had never eaten in one year, two years, even three or five years, ten or eight years.
Invisibly, Lin Hongfei's position in the minds of these captive workers was much higher.
Although Lin Hongfei's face was flushed for several days with his son, he did not forget the big thing he was going to do now.
On the river surface, the cruise of two gunboats, Jiangdu and Jiangbei, temporarily blocked the direct troops of Hubei Province's army from heading north, and would not pose a threat to Lin Hongfei for the time being.
Taking advantage of this time, Lin Hongfei, Wu Yongquan, Chu Liangyi and others set out to deal with the matter in Huaishui County.
Two days ago, the spies from Huaishui County sent the latest news again that the Huaishui County Security Group had a conflict with the Sanhuang Dao, the largest local Dao Society, and thirty or forty people died on both sides.
Now, whether it is Yang Zengshou, the commander of the security regiment, or Tang Ziyou, the leader of the Three Emperors’ Dao, they are trying every means to win over Wei Zhen, the bandit leader of Liantian Mountain.
Wei Zhen was also quite strategic. Knowing that he was a popular guy now, he simply waited for the price and remained neutral. He would help anyone who gave more money.
At the same time, the security team and the Three Emperors were also trying their best to strengthen their men and rob food and money to exchange for weapons. The people of Huaishui County have been squeezed to the limit.
This time is exactly the best time for Lin Hongfei to send troops to intervene!
As long as you take the banner of protecting the country and safeguarding the people, open a few porridge sheds along the way and cook a few large pots of porridge, it will be enough to win over the hearts of the people of Huaishui County.
In order to defeat these three groups of forces in one battle, Lin Hongfei sent more than a thousand people this time, and these thousand people were elite soldiers who were eating and drinking every day and trained on time.
Compared with the Huaishui County Security Group, the Three Emperors Road, and even the rammed group of bandits in Tianshan Mountain, let alone one fights two fights, even three fights, and ten fights.
As for the command of this team, Lin Hongfei gave it to Chu Liangyi. He now needs to train several high and middle-level officers under his command. If the territory is large in the future, he cannot fight and he will have to command the emperor in person.
Chu Liangyi was naturally very excited. It was the first time he was commanding a battle of more than a thousand people. It was fake to say that he was not nervous.
But no matter how nervous he was, he was not worried about his command ability. After all, he was facing such a group of mobs. If even they couldn't beat them, he might as well find a place to wipe his neck and commit suicide.

Huaishui County
Huangjia Village
At noon, the village was filled with the smell of fireworks when cooking.
Today is no exception, it also has the atmosphere of fireworks.
But the scale of this fireworks is a little bigger!
The flames that were originally confined to the stove have now swallowed up more than a dozen simple houses one after another. The black smoke is dense and rolling and hovering in the air, occasionally changing into a blurred and hideous grimace.
In the dark smoke in the sky, howling, scolding, and killing sounds came one after another. The soldiers of the security team were wearing loose, dirty military uniforms, and wearing hats, rushing into the courtyard like mad dogs. In the despair of the people in the courtyard, they wanted to vent their most primitive desires of wild beasts.
Killing and crotch!
Naturally, the people of Huangjia Village would not sit and wait for death. Some of the Huang tribesmen who escaped into the ancestral hall, under the organization of the clan leader and several elders, picked up a few earthen guns and farm tools, and began to fight against the soldiers of the security group.
With the blessing of blood feud, seven or eight security soldiers who broke into the ancestral hall were killed.
This move immediately attracted revenge from the security team. Dozens of soldiers from the security team surrounded the ancestral hall. They did not rush to attack inside, but threw torches and grenades into the ancestral hall.
Chapter completed!
