Chen Yushi and Gonggong Li pretended to be husband and wife all the way and left Kyoto. The two of them hurried up, and they didn't see any victims along the way, Chen Qing looked at Gonggong Li and wondered: "Lord Li, will we run in vain this time?" ”

"Chen Yushi, what do you mean?"

Chen Qing frowned and said, "Along the way, why didn't you see any victims?" Are we all suspicious of Li Liucai, he really sent all the disaster relief funds to the victims, as he said, the famine in Tianyuan County has been alleviated. ”

"Chen Yushi, don't make a conclusion yet, let's take a look!" Gonggong Li was skeptical.

The two walked to the intersection of Tianyuan County, and saw that there were many officers and soldiers guarding them, Gonggong Li gave Chen Qing a look, the two led their horses and walked forward, and saw someone coming from the direction of Kyoto, several officers and soldiers hurriedly stopped them and asked, "Where are you going?" ”

Gonggong Li said in a slow voice: "Brother Bing, the old man and I went to Tianyuan County to visit relatives. ”

An officer and soldier shouted at them: "There is a famine in Tianyuan County, and idlers are not allowed to enter." ”

Gonggong Li pulled the soldier aside and secretly stuffed him five taels of silver: "Brother Bing, you can be accommodating!" I know there is a famine in the city, but my elderly lady is still in it, and I have come here to bring her to live in Kyoto. ”

The officer and soldier kicked the silver into his arms and said, "Why don't you come earlier, this famine has been in trouble for half a month, and it is estimated that your old lady is more than lucky." ”

"Then I'll go in and see what happened."

The soldier who received the money from Gonggong Li ordered him; "Release."

Gonggong Li and Chen Qing Chen Yushi, the two led the horse into Tianyuan County, and the two of them saw three groups and two groups of victims. All of them are yellow and thin, and their expressions are sluggish.

Gonggong Li frowned, "Chen Yushi, you can see clearly, these victims are probably hungry for more than a day." ”

Chen Qing stopped the approaching victims and asked, "Where are you going?" ”

The victim said weakly: "We are going to Suzhou to beg for food." ”

Gonggong Li blinked: "Why do you want to go to Suzhou?" What about not going to Kyoto? Isn't Kyoto closer? ”

"This sister-in-law, you are a foreigner! Didn't you see that the road to Kyoto was already guarded by officers and soldiers? It is said that it is to prevent the victims from causing trouble in Kyoto. ”

"Big brother, the old man and I are here to do business, I didn't expect the disaster here to be so severe." Li Gonggong wanted to know more about the victims of the guò disaster.

"You'd better get out of here! The locust plague here is severe, the crops in the fields are not harvested, and people have no money to buy things. ”

"The locust plague here is so severe, isn't there anyone who reports to the imperial court?"

"The magistrate is all imprisoned, who has the courage to report to the court."

Gonggong Li asked, "You said that Tianyuan Zhixian was imprisoned?" ”

Chen Qing frowned, he knew that Tianyuan Zhixian was a Qing official, "Why did they imprison Zhixian inside?" ”

The man looked around and said in a low voice, "Why else, it's not that the prefect is going to Kyoto to face the saint." The prefect refused to let it, and the two made a feud. ”

"This little brother, I have a few baked cakes here, you can take them to satisfy your hunger first." Chen Qing took out a few baked cakes from the pocket on the horse's back and handed them to the victim.

Seeing the baked burnt yellow baked cake, the victim swallowed his saliva and said, "I, Zheng, have no merit, say it!" What do you want to know from me? ”

"Brother Zheng, there are a lot of people here, can you invite my husband and wife to sit at your house." Li Gonggong built yì road

Seeing that the two of them didn't look like bad people, Zheng Yi took the baked cake into his arms, walked over and said to a few victims who were his companions: "I have relatives coming over today, so I won't go out to beg, you can go!" ”

Seeing those victims walking away, Zheng Yi said to Chen Qing and Gonggong Li: "You guys come with me!" ”

Zheng Yi took Chen Qing and Li's father-in-law to his house, Zheng Yi opened the broken fence gate, and the two followed in, and saw three broken thatched houses, Chen Qing frowned.

Zheng Yi shouted into the house, "Cuihua is a guest." ”

At this time, I saw a skinny woman coming out of the house with her hands on the wall, and saw Zheng Yi crying and said, "Xianggong, go and have a look!" I'm afraid I can't do it. ”

"What nonsense, didn't I quit my mother just now?" Zheng Yi blamed.

"I'm not talking nonsense, you go and see."

Zheng Yi knew that her mother was usually reluctant to eat, even if she asked for it and gave it to her, she would be taken to her grandchildren by herself. Hurriedly rushed into his mother's room, and saw his mother lying on the bed, dying, Zheng Yi hurriedly took out the baked cake and wanted to feed it to her, but the mother's mouth was closed one by one, and she just didn't know what to swallow.

Seeing that the old man had lost consciousness, Gonggong Li said to Zheng, "Big sister, go get some water." ”

Zheng ran out knowingly, and came in with a bowl of water, and Gonggong Li took the water bowl, broke a small half from Zheng Yi's baked cake, and soaked it in the water bowl.

Seeing that the baked cakes were soaked into porridge, Gonggong Li instructed Zheng Yi: "Quickly help your mother and feed her these porridges first." ”

After feeding for a long time, the old woman ate a little bit of noodle porridge, but it was this noodle porridge that made the old woman's complexion a little ruddy. Later, the old woman woke up and saw her son still standing in front of the bed, and the old woman blamed; "Little One, why don't you go begging? If you starve my grandchildren, my mother won't spare you. ”

"Mother, it's because they ate your share that you were almost starved to death, it's time for you to think about them, I'm going to teach these two little bastards a good lesson later."

"You dare to beat my grandchildren, I'm not done with you." The old woman said anxiously.

"No one in the old man dares to beat your grandson, you can recuperate in peace! You're mostly hungry, so I've got some snacks here, and you can take them and eat them. After Chen Qing finished speaking, he handed the old man a few pieces of snacks.

"Who are these two?" Only then did the old woman see Chen Qing and Father-in-law Li standing beside the bed.

"This is Uncle Chen and Aunt Li, they are here to do business." Zheng Yi said.

"Do business, do business? Is it a dim sum business? His uncle and we are honest farmers, but we don't have the money to buy your snacks. After the old woman finished speaking, she wanted to take the dim sum to Chen Qing again.

"Old man, you misunderstood, we are not in the dim sum business, we are actually ...... in Tianyuan County."

Before Chen Qing finished speaking, he was interrupted by Gonggong Li: "Old man, eat it!" We keep these snacks for ourselves and don't sell them. ”

"Then what should I do if I eat you?"

"We have some more, you can eat them with confidence! It's just that we have just come to Tianyuan County and don't have a place to live yet, so I hope the old mother can let us borrow it for a few nights. Gonggong Li said with a smile.

"Engong only cares, and he can live as long as he wants." The mother-in-law looked at the snacks on the bed and said, thinking that these snacks were enough for the whole family to eat for a while.
