Chapter 144: The Displaced Population Is Coming (11)
But when the last person walked out of the courtyard of Chunhua's house, everyone's eyes looked at the courtyard gate, waiting for the third lady of the Ye family to come out of it.
At this time, the faces of everyone outside the courtyard were different.
The villagers in Yejiazhuang are just curious about how their young lady will deal with these people, and those outsiders, except for some who are consciously and frankly waiting to buy food for a while, are more worried, and they don't know what the result will be waiting for them.
After Ye Tianqing came out, he glanced around indifferently, and then said: "Okay, I'm done asking what I want to ask, it's not early, presumably everyone wants to go home quickly, then please you, you, and you go there and line up, prepare the bags to buy grain, and someone will weigh the grain for you immediately." ”
"As for you, my mother has already given you food, please leave, don't stay near Yejiazhuang anymore, we can't afford to support so many people." After Ye Tianqing finished speaking to those who could basically confirm that there were no major problems, he turned to the beggars.
"Miss Ye, the small family has fled from other places, they have traveled a lot of places these days, but they haven't found a job, and they can't find a way to live if they want to go on, the small family voluntarily sold themselves into slavery, please Miss Ye buy the small family." When one of the beggars heard this, an unkempt man immediately pulled the mother and son, who were also dressed in rags and had thin yellow faces, to kneel in front of her.
"Please Miss Ye buy our family, we will definitely work hard and will not eat white food." The dirty-faced woman also cried and pleaded, just. Her voice was gruff and ugly, like a broken gong. It's uncomfortable to listen to.
As for the thin boy who couldn't tell his age, he could only open his mouth. Crying with her mother.
Listening to them beg and cry like this, it made many people look at them with sympathy, after all, if it wasn't really to the point of desperation, where would ordinary people voluntarily sell themselves. Thinking of the current situation at home, I can't say that I have to embark on the road of selling my children and daughters and selling my own body.
"Please keep us, or we don't sell ourselves for money, just give us a bite to eat every day." Seeing that Ye Tianqing did not respond, the man immediately changed his tone and begged.
"yes. Yes, we don't want to sell ourselves for money, just give us a bite to eat, no, no, no, just give my son a bite to eat every day. The woman pleaded in a voice like a broken gong.
It's really the heart of parents all over the world!
"Oh, what a sin."
"Look at it, it's really pitiful, Miss Ye, you can buy them."
"It's weird God. I don't want to give people a way to live. ”
……
Ye Tianqing couldn't say that she wasn't moved when she heard the words of the two beggars, but she couldn't let go at this time, so many people were watching.
"You better get up, we have plenty of people in our Zhuangzi. No additional staff is required. As he spoke, he motioned to the villagers on one side to pull the people up, and he turned to look at the other two piles of people, and the corners of his mouth hooked slightly: "As for you." If you have anything to say, just wait to say it to the poor master in the yamen, I believe it won't be long. They're coming. ”
"Miss Ye, it's a little wrong. The small ones are really just here to buy food, and have no other purpose. ”
"Miss Ye, it's the little one who was stuffy with lard and greedy for a while, so I encouraged everyone to say a few words, but the little one really didn't mean to make trouble, the villain is also confused, please Miss Ye don't remember the villain, let the little one go, the little one doesn't dare anymore, the villain's family is old and young, and the villain is still waiting for the villain to buy food and go back."
"Ask Miss Ye for mercy, the villain is wronged."
……
The two piles of people who were watched by Ye Tianqing immediately knelt down with a hula la, crying wolf in their mouths, wanting to beg her to let them go.
A group of big men cried together, the scene was really spectacular, but Ye Tianqing's eyes were still calm and unmoved, and the gentle words actually overshadowed the crying of so many people and clearly entered everyone's ears: "I said, if you have anything to say, you can say to the poor master in a while, if the poor master lets you go, then you can go, after all, I am just a little woman, I don't know what to do with you." ”
After speaking, Ye Tianqing wanted to go back to the main courtyard, but after only a few steps, she saw her stop, stood still for a while, and then turned around and walked back.
Everyone was puzzled, not knowing what else she had to say, and even those who knelt on the ground and begged stopped for a moment, looking at her with hope, hoping that she would change her mind and let them go.
When everyone saw her turn back, they did not stop beside them, but walked straight towards the outside of the village.
"Miss, but what happened?" When Li Zhuangtou and Lin Huwei saw it, they immediately followed and asked.
"It's okay, come with me to greet a few guests." Ye Tianqing said casually as he walked forward.
"Miss, you mean we have guests here, shouldn't the mayor send someone over after he got the letter?" When Li Zhuangtou heard this, he immediately guessed happily.
"I don't know." Ye Tianqing deeply appreciated the decision of Li Zhuangtou and Lin Guard, because after returning from the mountain, she learned that she had sent someone to report to the town mayor to ask for help.
And she believes that after the mayor gets the letter, he should immediately send someone to come, after all, it is the wife and daughter of the Northwest Fuyi who lives here, and Fuyi is still kind to him, if something happens to her and her mother here, he, the mayor, should not be mixed up anymore.
Li Zhuangtou guessed correctly, before Ye Tianqing and the others stood outside Zhuangzi for a long time, they heard the sound of kicking and trampling dense horses' hooves, and soon after, they saw dust in the distance, and a group of people were urging horses to rush here.
"Miss, it's true that the official is here." Escort Lin's eyes were naturally better than Li Zhuangtou's, and as soon as he saw the horse team from far and near, he spoke.
"It's good to come, we should put those people who harbor evil intentions in prison, and let the mayor investigate thoroughly to see which one ate the bear's heart and leopard gall, wants to harm Mrs. and Miss, and wants to make our Ye Mansion dirty." Li Zhuangtou smiled when he heard this, then looked back at those who were still kneeling on the ground, and said angrily.
While speaking, a team of people had already arrived in front of them, the first one, about twenty years old, slender, long-looking, even wearing official uniforms, after seeing them, immediately turned over and dismounted, and looked at Li Zhuangtou anxiously: "Li Zhuangtou, are Mrs. Ye and Miss Ye okay?" ”
"It turns out that Lord He is here in person, my wife is fine, this is our third lady of Ye Mansion." When Li Zhuang saw this, he immediately stepped forward to salute and introduced Ye Tianqing to him.
