Chapter Eighty-Six: The Right to Live
Li Ningru asked: "I am his friend, I haven't seen him for many years, I miss it very much, and I came to visit my old friend. Is he in the inn at this time?"
The innkeeper replied, "I went out in the morning, and I haven't come back yet." ”
"Then I'll come back another day, if Lu Fusheng asks, I'd rather treat it as if I haven't been here, old friends meet each other, and it's good to be surprised. ”
The innkeeper bowed deeply and said, "According to Miss's intentions, I would like to send it off." From the gorgeous carriage, it can be seen that the woman in front of her is from an extraordinary background, either rich or expensive, and there will be no mistakes in courtesy.
In fact, even if Li Ningru didn't sit in this carriage, according to the nature of a man, the innkeeper would not frown.
Li Ningru bowed slightly, and said, "Then there is a chance, goodbye." ”
The frequency of Xiao Er and the cook's nodding became slower and slower, not that they lost their strength, but they regretted that they had not yet spoken, and such a beautiful woman left. What the innkeeper thought was that Lu Fusheng, a mysterious boy, was young, and the people he had crossed paths with in the past few days were princes and nobles, and even his old friends were such beautiful beauties.
I only hate to have a son late, and my own daughter is too young and still in infancy. The innkeeper has the idea of matching his daughter and marrying Lu Fusheng.
People are too good to even blame, so they can only dwell on themselves.
And just when Yiyi was parting, on the Xuanwu Avenue connecting the east and west cities, the city gate and the palace, the newly erected temporary drum towers on the left and right sounded a roaring sound. The sound is so loud that it is deafening. No matter how remote it is, every household in Bo'an City can hear it. The sound of the beating in the hands of the people was directly covered, and only the sound of twilight drums could be heard in the city.
It was also officially announced to the people of the entire city of Bo'an that the curfew had been raised, and those who remained on the street to make trouble could be beaten with a cane and imprisoned.
The coachman got out of the car and whispered in Li Ningru's ear: "Nobleman, the king issued a curfew today, and it is time at this moment. Don't say that it is a little old man, the prince violates the law, and the common people are guilty of the same crime. At this time, I didn't dare to go on the road again, so I could only find a place to rest for a while, and wait until early tomorrow morning, after the curfew, before I could return to the station. ”
Li Ningru's face was a little difficult, and the innkeeper was polite, and said with a flirtatious demeanor: "It can be said that the law is not expensive, and the rope is not bent." With the addition of the law, the wise can resign, and the brave dare to fight. The punishment does not avoid the minister, and the reward is not spared. In Bo'an, this Dharma is the most sacred thing, and it does not fall into the words of the Buddha in the vowel country, the divine language of the kingdom of Jitian, and the holy Confucianism of the kingdom of Shengluo. ”
Boan people are the most enthusiastic, and when they meet people in trouble, they will lend a helping hand if they can help. And the innkeeper was born and raised in Bo'an City since he was a child, and he didn't learn anything else, but the temper of the Bo'an people didn't drop at all.
"Although the shop was taken over by Mr. Lu during this time, but thinking of your friendship with Mr. Lu, I think if you stay, Mr. Lu will definitely not blame. If you don't dislike the clutter of the shop, you will spend the night in the store, and it is never too late to leave tomorrow. Maybe Mr. Lu will be able to come back later, but he only came back yesterday. ”
Li Ningru looked at these two guys and didn't do well, but the innkeeper seemed to be a reasonable person, and the coachman was also by his side, so there was nothing dangerous, so he simply nodded and agreed.
Xiao Er and the cook understood that Li Ningru agreed, and the coke blossomed. Hurriedly welcomed the carriage and the two into the store.
————————————
As the sun sets, the sun is like a defeated warrior, spilling blood on the earth. As the victor, the moon stood on the highest place in the heavens, dressed in the robe of the night, and showed off her achievements to the world.
Soft like flocculent, light as silk floating clouds, clustered with the bright moon rising, clear light reflects the surrounding into a round of colored aperture, deep and shallow, if there is nothing. It is not as bright as the sunset, so it is more elegant, not as brilliant as the sunset, only giving you a little joy and a little sadness.
Every street corner on Xuanwu Avenue was full of Wu Hou, one by one holding iron rods, ready to meet the second night, and the more fierce resistance of the scholars under the sensation was aroused.
Among these martial marquis, there were originally Wuhou on duty, but more of them were Huben army sergeants who changed into Wuhou's clothes and disguised themselves as Wuhou. The Wuhou of the whole city is not enough at this time, even the Wuhou uniform is in the afternoon, and the workers of each shop are desperately rushing to make it, some of them are too late, just according to the color of the Wuhou uniform, cut a piece of cloth and paste it on the military uniform of the Tiger Ben Army, which looks nondescript.
At this time, there was no need for the king to order the production of Wuhou clothes, and the proprietor of each tailor shop was doing his best to support it. At night, the businesses in the eastern and western cities suffered the most damage, and they responded positively to such small things as making clothes with only some materials.
The streets of the east and west cities, guarding here, are all soldiers of the Tiger Army, this is the most dangerous place tonight, can only be guarded by real soldiers with higher combat literacy, and the king of Wei is also more assured.
There was no one else on the street except Wu Hou, and the imaginary crowded scene did not happen, but every Wu Hou did not dare to relax their vigilance, they knew in their hearts that this was the calm before the storm was coming.
In the end, as expected, tonight's readers must have someone behind the scenes.
Obviously, the advantages of scholars have been brought into play, and the social status of "scholars" is much higher than that of others, because the class of scholars are all people who have read books, and in addition to the books used in the imperial examinations such as the Four Books and the Five Classics, the books on the art of war written by the sages and ancients are also not a problem.
Make good use of soldiers, avoid their sharpness, and hit their laziness.
Now the people behind the scenes are strictly in accordance with the strategy in the art of war book, and when the Wuhou who is waiting for the street is most tired, they are unprepared and surprised.
Wuhou, as a force responsible for protecting the people in Bo'an City, is a military household system that is passed down from generation to generation.
The recruited Wuhou has become worse and worse from the previous development of all the elite soldiers, so that now, most of them are old, weak, sick and disabled, plus scoundrels, there are everyone in Wuhou, taking advantage of the riots in the city, relying on the identity of Wuhou, there are not a few people who are looking for troubled waters.
There was not a single person in the street except for the sound of percussion coming from every house. This also made some Wuhou think alive.
During the day, every household is rushing for food. The rich don't think about the price at all, and with a wave of their hand, as long as there is still surplus grain in the rice shop, they will be sold out by those rich and powerful people, and even in front of the rice shop, a few followers who have a bad relationship on weekdays will fight on the street regardless of it, causing bloodshed.
And the compounds of these rich families are not something that the lowly Wuhou can afford to provoke, not to mention those Wuhou who have bad intentions, and a few of them are heroic people who are truly loyal and brave and can rob the rich and help the poor.
Wuhou's monthly salary is not much, but everyone has the right to want to live, and the salary is small, and he can't buy much rice and grain, but he can't watch his family being starved to death. When people are panicking, only food is the real valuable thing, which is why no matter what big things happen, the first thing people can want is to stock up on food.
The Wuhou could only take risks and stare at the rice and grain of the poor people's families, but unfortunately, what was targeted tonight was the Wang Xiaoer family who was still watching the old men chatting in the afternoon.
Several Wuhou were at the corner of the street where Wang Xiaoer's house was stationed, and they discussed with each other: "That's it, I've been staring at it for a day today." There was only one badly wounded boy and one woman in his house. In the morning, the woman went out early, and when she returned, she was carrying a sack of rice with a great deal of grain. ”
A martial marquis who was slightly sturdy compared to other martial marquis resolutely said: "Then this one, no matter what, you can deceive if you can." If you really can't do it, you can be strong. ”
This person looked like the leader of these martial marquis, otherwise he would not have made the corresponding decision, and then the remaining few people also nodded yes.
"Up. ”
"Bang. ”
There was a loud bang, but against the backdrop of the city's banging, it was no longer movement. Even in addition to lying on the bed, Wang Xiaoer, who had been a soldier, was a little vigilant, and even Wang Xiaoer's wife didn't notice when the door had been kicked open.
Several men dressed in martial arts uniforms swaggered in, and opened their mouths: "Do you have any food at home?" According to the king's order, there is now a shortage of food in Bo'an City, and all the people need to hand over their food to the state treasury. ”
Wang Xiaoer's wife was a starving citizen in the era of war, so she was smart enough to go out to buy enough food early in the morning, when the price of rice and grain had not risen. On weekdays, it's a little old and confused.
Hearing that the people in official uniforms came to ask for food, he obediently walked to the kitchen, wanting to hand over the grain he had just bought to these young and strong officials. Back then, when the old lady was young, she also experienced being robbed of food by soldiers, and it was no surprise that the state requisitioned grain.
These few unconscionable martial marquis felt that it was so easy to deceive people, so they intensified their efforts and said: "Also, in order to resist the mob last night, there were many casualties in the army, and every family needs to take out valuable items and hand them over to the army. ”
This sentence caused Wang Xiaoer's dissatisfaction, and it was just a matter of requisitioning grain, and it was no big deal to get some food in exchange for peace and soundness. But the soldiers who were injured last night are not the capital that these little people can use as swagger.
Wang Xiaoer asked coldly: "Since it is the state to levy grain and silver, do you have an official document jointly issued by the Ministry of Household and the Ministry of War?"
Wu Hou, who didn't know how to answer, took out the iron rod that was ready to defend against the scholar tonight under the signal of the leader's eyes, and aimed it at Wang Xiaoer's chest. His mouth kept saying, "Call you fucking talkative." Be honest with your mouth, so as not to suffer from flesh and skin. ”
When Wang Xiaoer's wife saw that her son was beaten, she didn't care about her age, so she raised her hand to grab the iron rod in Wuhou's hand. But where is the opponent of the young lad. Becoming more and more anxious, Wu Hou pushed it casually, and Wang Xiaoer's wife was suddenly pushed far away.
His head slammed into the corner of the table in the center of the room, and the old man's body was suddenly bleeding without tossing, and after a few breaths, he closed his eyes forever.
"Mother-"
Wang Xiaoer's eyes were red, he broke free from the bed, forgetting that his legs and feet still didn't obey the call, and fell directly to the ground, his teeth hit the ground heavily, and his mouth was full of blood mixed with tears, and he couldn't stop flowing out.
As soon as a few Wuhou saw that things were going to develop in an uncontrollable direction, they hurriedly snatched the rice bag that was still in the hands of Wang Xiaoer's old lady, and ran out of the house.
