Chapter 898: Killing to Stop Killing

Yin Yi calmed down, then looked worried. “However, it takes time for the Imperial Court to collect food. It will take at least half a month. Our current supplies are only enough for five to six days.”

Yin Huaixi said calmly, “There’s no hurry. Liu Dagen’s case will reach the Han

Clan in three to five days at most. Once the Han Clan falls, the nobles in the North will go bankrupt and beg to send a large number of supplies over. It’ll be unimaginable how rich the nobles in the North are. At that time, not only will the camp not lack supplies, but they can also distribute food to the refugees. The You army won’t have to worry about military funds and provisions for the next few years.”

The Xie family was willing to take the lead and donate most of their assets to teach the nobles of the North a lesson.

Yu Youyao had used the prevention of the epidemic to make a big fuss about this. The Han Clan couldn’t hold it in anymore and used Liu Dagen’s case to scare the tiger. They planned to take Yu Youyao a notch down.

Instead, their evil nature was revealed by Yu Youyao.

Yu Youyao sat steadily and used Xiangping as a chess piece to control public opinion in Xiangping. She controlled the situation in Xiangping completely and beat them at their own game. She lured out the spies planted by the land-owning class in Xiang Ping and used these spies to pass the news she wanted to pass on to the Han Clan.

The Han Clan, which was far away in Xi’an, suffered from distance, causing the information to be mixed up, so they naturally fell into a trap.

The little girl had originally planned to use the nobles to severely damage the vitality of the land-owning class.

However, in order to scheme against her, the Han Clan had completely angered her. Not only did she want to severely injure the land-owning class, but she also wanted to uproot the land-owning class led by the Han Clan.

Yin Huaixi chuckled. “Killing the chicken to warn the monkey is far more intimidating than knocking on a mountain to scare the tiger.”

This was undoubtedly a head-on blow to the nobles of the North. The noble’s vitality was greatly damaged, so there was nothing to fear.

Yin Yi looked excited. “The Princess is really a hero among women. His Highness is scheming outside, so it’s inevitable that he’ll lose sight of one thing and can’t take into account the situation in the North. Ever since the Princess came to the North, she’s been cooperating with you inside and out, and all the problems that are troubling His Highness have been easily resolved.’

The resources donated to the camp had to go through the government and not fall into His Highness’s hands. However, now that His Highness was powerful, the bulk of the money had to be donated to him to achieve the goal of seeking favor with him and maximize the value of this money.

Like the Xie Residence, the Bai Residence had donated 50% of their wealth to His Highness.

Meanwhile, 20% of their wealth was used to buy medicine, which was donated to the government.

Yin Huaixi’s smile deepened. He changed the topic and asked, “Previously, I heard that Longcheng has already started the resettlement of the refugees, right?” He frowned, clearly not agreeing with this. “I’ve instructed earlier that the refugees taken in by Longcheng are all from the northwest. They have to be placed in the refugee camps first and observed for a while. Send the people of Liaodong to interact more with them and help them understand the people’s customs and relationships. After confirming that there are no problems, we’ll make arrangements.”

The people of various places had different customs and relationships. If they rashly fused, there would be chaos.

Yin Yi said helplessly, “It’s also because of the pressure of supplies that we had no choice but to first arrange for a group of refugees, who know literature and are proficient in a skill, and their relatives to be placed in the businesses under the Princess, the Xie family, and tyou. Previously, the supplies donated by the nobles were very limited. It was only after the Xie family stood out that the nobles donated another batch of supplies one after another to prevent others from gossiping. Otherwise, the supplies wouldn’t have lasted for more than five days.”

The nobles were indeed holding out hope until they were faced with the grim reality. Yin Huaixi frowned. “Have you confirmed that there’s no problem?”

Yin Yi hurriedly said, “Your Highness, don’t worry. The 3,000-man Hidden Dragon Army has been divided into parts and disguised as refugees to mix in the various refugee camps to eliminate the threats hidden among the refugees. They’ve all been on the battlefield for a long time and have been through hundreds of battles. The methods of the refugees can’t be hidden from them. Therefore, the group of people who were arranged in advance are all well-known and have been screened many times.”

Yin Huaixi’s voice was indifferent and sharp. “I’d rather kill a hundred wrongly than let anyone off. Don’t cause trouble for the Princess and the Xie family.”

None of the refugees who could survive the famine and escape all the way to Liaodong were simple. Although the refugees were pitiful, there were definitely many hidden dangers.

He had long arranged for people to eliminate these hidden dangers.

Yin Yi’s expression turned cold. “Yes!”

Yin Huaixi was clearly worried. “True evil only occurs zero times, or countless times. In the refugee camp, there are the You army and the government on guard. They don’t dare to be rash. Once they’re settled and out of the sight of the You army and the government, all kinds of monsters will appear. Continue to send people to keep an eye on them.”

Yu Youyao gasped. Chun Xiao had mentioned to her earlier that many people died every day in the refugee camp. Although she couldn’t bear to see it happen, she didn’t suspect anything.

Unexpectedly, she was still too naive.

In the desolate era, the tragic matter of starving people eating each other was not uncommon in history. There were countless people who had lost their morals. What right did Yin Huaixi have to receive refugees on such a grand scale?

What right did he have to maintain stability in the refugee camp?

He would rather kill a hundred wrongly than let anyone off.

Killing to stop killing was cruel and iron-blooded.

The Hidden Dragon Army harvested human lives every day, but no one suspected anything. This was because the refugees had endured hunger and cold, and their bodies had long suffered. Chun Xiao knew that many people died in the refugee camp every day. It was very normal!

At this moment, the study suddenly fell silent.

After a while, Yin Huaixi rubbed his forehead. “Come in!”

He had not slept for a few days in a row, making him rather tired. After returning to the Yu Garden, as soon as he relaxed, he inevitably lost his vigilance.

Yu Youyao took a deep breath and pushed open the door to the study.

Yin Huaixi stood by the window and was trimming the cinnabar orchid. The cinnabar orchid liked warmth and moisture. After reaching Xiangping, it withered a little because the climate was colder.

Yu Youyao had specially found a flower farmer who was good at tending to orchids to take good care of them. Only then could it barely survive.

She suddenly stopped in her tracks and looked at Yin Huaixi’s back from a few steps away. She suddenly realized that after not seeing him for a long time, he seemed to have lost a lot of weight. The thin clothes stuck to his body, making him look even broader, narrow-shouldered, and extremely thin. Yin Huaixi put down the scissors and turned to look at her. “Come here.” “Nineteenth Brother…” Yu Youyao reacted and quickly went forward.

Before she could react, she was pulled into Yin Huaixi i s arms. His arms were abnormally firm, and he exuded the aura of a traveler after a long journey.

Yu Youyao’s heart ached, and her voice was muffled. “When did you come back? If I had known, I would have gone out today.”

“I’ve only just arrived at the Yu Garden.” Yin Huaixi heard that her tone was as intimate and concerned as before, and a smile appeared in his eyes. “Looking at the time, I thought that you would be back soon, so I didn’t look for you.”

At the same time, he wanted to understand the exact situation of Xiangping..
