Chapter 156: Sprinkle sand in the porridge
King Zhao pointed behind him and gave the order in an unquestionable tone to make the woman's family want to cry without tears:
"I raided the house of the shopkeeper of Song, and all the valuable items found in the search were confiscated! Including the white jade bowl that the king's shopkeeper brought here—"
After receiving the order, the leader of the guards walked to King Zhao and asked in a low voice:
"Your Highness, how thorough is the looting?"
King Zhao listened to the question of the leader of the guards, turned around and looked at the guards and replied word by word:
"Not a penny left!"
"Yes!"
A group of guards forcibly dragged the Song shopkeeper to lead the way, how could the Song shopkeeper be willing to let others scrape all the family wealth, so he leaned on the ground and refused to move half a step, Xu is such a trick The head of the guard saw too much, so he snorted coldly, raised his eyebrows, and motioned to his subordinates to directly set people up.

The four burly guards were responsible for lifting the limbs of the Song shopkeeper, where the Song shopkeeper could defeat the other party, so he cried and turned his head to find the figure of King Zhao, to see if there was room for maneuver in things:
"Your Highness! Xiaomin's family business has been passed down from generation to generation! Your Highness, this is the life of the little people! I can't help it, I can't help it—"
However, King Zhao didn't hear it, and kept facing the shopkeeper Song with his straight back.
Seeing that it didn't work to tell him to forgive, the shopkeeper Song blamed all the faults on his wife, and scolded in a posture of leaning up:
"Stupid! You're a bad person! So that you have no eyes! So you have to inch in! What kind of face do you have for me to go underground to see my ancestors? O iniquity! If I knew that you would bring this great disaster to my Song family! Even if I am alone in my life, I will never marry you as a dead star! ”
Together with the woman who rushed to the guards to sprinkle in front of her own daughter, she also regretted that she had not done it at the beginning when she heard her husband's scolding, and now she still had the face to quarrel with her husband, so she could only use all her strength to stop the guards.
The guards who were responsible for blocking the woman and her daughter were so annoyed that they exploded in an instant, first pushing one of the woman's daughters to the ground, and kicking away the woman who was scratching the blood on the guard's face.
Those who have good deeds are not accustomed to the behavior of the woman's family -- first pretending to be poor, then trying to bribe King Zhao with his daughter after being exposed, and trying to play tricks after being punished for raiding the house, all kinds of behaviors really make onlookers despised.
They followed in twos and threes, pointing the way for the guards who were detaining Song's shopkeeper, and the woman was so angry that she pointed to the convenience and bared her teeth and scolded:
"What do you mean! A bunch of poor sour households! Beware of the old lady letting the house slave break your dog's legs! Get lost! ”
Naturally, the woman's words did not discourage the people who spontaneously helped the guards lead the way, but the louder the woman scolded, the louder the laughter of the passers-by became.
"Haha! Mrs. Song, you can accumulate virtue in your mouth - you will be searched by these officials later, and you can't tell who is poorer than whom! ”
"Look at her hysterical appearance, it's ugly! I don't know how the shopkeeper Song fell in love with her in the first place? ”
"The! If you want me to say - even their dog-like clothes have to be ripped off! Look at her hard mouth! Still look down on people! ”
……
There are more and more pedestrians who are not afraid of women, and even the original team of more than a dozen people has now turned into a mighty street brigade.
Shopkeeper Song, who couldn't move with his back to the sky, listened to his own woman arouse public anger again and again, so as not to escalate the situation, so he had to speak:
"Crazy woman, stop talking! Isn't it shameful enough! ”
The woman was so blushing and thick-necked with the fellow travelers that she was completely selfless, as if she could not lose face as long as she won the battle of words.
Seeing that his persuasion was ineffective, Shopkeeper Song could only let it go with a dead face, and married such a woman who thought she had a lot of ideas, and her intestines were about to repent.
The woman was busy scolding passers-by, and her daughters focused on how to contain the guards. Some of them were so good-tempered that they didn't want to beat women -- their arms were full of tooth marks, and their faces and necks were covered with marks of pinching and twisting their nails.
The guard's tolerance did not win over the two ladies who were already the best women, but became more and more rampant—the worst of the guards, walking at the back of the line, had blood on his face.
The leader of the guards felt that the march was too slow, so he glanced back, it didn't matter if he didn't look at it, and when he saw it, he was so angry that his face was red.
But seeing that the leader of the guard quickly walked to the rear of the team, he yelled at his subordinates, who were tortured by the two women:
"Damn! Are you stupid! How did the Praetorian Guards come up with such a wreck like you! ”
The guard leader was out of feeling sorry for his subordinates, so his tone was heavier, and the guard who was reprimanded knew that his boss had no malice, and he didn't really think he was a wreck, so he looked back at the head of the guard with a look of grievance, and his eyes were very embarrassed - let him be rough with the woman, he really couldn't do it.
The leader of the guards, who was not as patient as the guards, drew the saber from his waist and laid it across the slender neck of one of the woman's daughters, and warned the woman:
"Diao woman! Listen to me! Lao Tzu received the order of the prince, and he wanted to give the prince a satisfactory explanation! If you don't want to just raid your home, you have to make a big noise! Even if you are held accountable by the prince, Lao Tzu has to let you remember it for a long time! ”
After speaking, the leader of the guards retracted his gaze, pulled out the sword of the guard's face covered with blood that was scratched with one hand, and pushed the woman in his arms to the other party, and ordered with a serious face:
"Give me a knife the whole time! This is a military order! Don't disobey! ”
"Yes!"
Seeing this, the dumbfounded woman and her other daughter instantly became obedient, and the mother and daughter stared timidly at the big knife in the guard's hand, and met the eyes of the woman who had been held hostage for help—the two shook their heads helplessly, and then hid their faces and sobbed.
The leader of the guards glared at the woman again and sternly warned:
"If one of you dares to mess around again, Lao Tzu will immediately send your daughter back to the West!"
Seeing the mother and daughter sobbing and pounding their heads, the leader of the guards returned to the front of the line......
King Zhao has already finished distributing the first round of porridge, and when the sun sets, there will be another meal. The soldier in charge of counting the relief food found King Zhao with a bitter face, and reported in a hurry:
"Lord Wang...... It's only been less than three days, and the food ...... Food ......"
"When did you get a stutter? Speak up! ”
King Zhao glanced at the soldier with displeasure, so that the soldier no longer looked forward and backward:
"Back to the prince, according to the consumption of grain for disaster relief according to the statistics of all the porridge sheds in Tianyong City in recent days, only half of the grain allocated by the national treasury is left!"
King Zhao was calm and relaxed, and he didn't see a trace of surprise, and he replied in a calm tone:
"Well, it's about the same as the king had estimated—then, as the king commands, make sure that every porridge shed does as the king asks!"
The little soldier bowed his head with a stern face, and listened quietly to King Zhao's instructions.
King Zhao got up from his seat, pacing as he counted the rules and regulations he had come up with in response to what he had seen and heard at noon:
"First: all the porridge sheds boil the same amount of porridge, but after boiling, sprinkle a handful of gravel!"
The little soldier looked back at King Zhao dumbfounded, but heard King Zhao say again: (To be continued.) )
