Chapter 277: The Difference
Jiuwen has Jiuwen to worry about the matter of moving troops, and Qing'er only stares at Dai Zhong's asking people to handle cases.
After three days of delay, Dai Zhong finally sent an official who was less than forty years old, named Wan Feng, who was the long history of Yuncheng and had been working here for five or six years.
Qing'er couldn't help but be secretly happy when she heard this, but she didn't expect Dai Zhong to be vicious in his mouth, but he really sent an old man who understood the situation seriously to her.
However, she was overjoyed too early, and Qing'er had already confided in this Wan Changshi before she could ask a few questions.
Dare to love this master is a hands-off shopkeeper, what work is in his hands is a "setter", everything should be done by the people below, he doesn't know!
And now the people who really work under him have all been taken by Dai Zhong to revitalize the disaster.
Although Qing'er is angry, but the disaster is the top priority after all, and Dai Zhong can't find any major faults with this approach, not to mention that the long history is also good enough!
Unexpectedly, Xi Qian seemed to be very interested in this long history who didn't know anything, and caught him and chatted for a long time.
Qing'er understands that he wants to talk, but the key is that this confused car has no goods in his stomach, and his efforts are in vain!
She listened for a while, but she didn't hear a reason, and could only feel from Wan Feng's mouth that he was neutral.
For his predecessor Qu Lin, who was killed by the mob, he showed some sympathy in his words. As for the current Dai Zhong, there is more or less some admiration.
Qing'er didn't understand, so she simply didn't listen, she made a list for Wan Feng, and asked him to find out all the relevant files of the case and give it to her.
Sending this confused worm away, Qing'er asked Xi's opinion.
Nishi sighed. Pinching his temples with both hands, he said slowly: "It seems that Dai Zhong and we want to go together, it seems that he has already fed the surrounding army." As for the untouchables, he never wanted them to live! The food of the untouchables should have been given to the army. ”
Qing'er screamed and scolded: "This! There is such a bad intention, so how should we deal with it? ”
Xi Leng smiled coldly: "Now everything can only depend on the meaning of the Nine Emperor Princes, and it is time for him to show his original form." ”
Qing'er hurriedly said:
"How?! Jiuwen has never taken the lives of the people seriously, especially the lowly people, he doesn't care at all. What is the law of the law than the birth. He can afford to die as much as he wants! West, we are all from lowly backgrounds, so we can't sit idly by this time! A way has to be found. It's not okay to point all at Jiuwen! ”
Xi tugged at the corners of his mouth and said coldly, "It turns out that you already knew." Alas, this Nine Emperor Princes is very smart. Don't look at things that you have such a deep friendship with him and are not in his interests. He wouldn't agree. Unless ......"
"Unless what? Do you already have an idea? Qing'er asked excitedly.
"Unless he's like us. See for yourself. ”
Qing'er frowned and said firmly: "That's not good, it's too risky!" Although Jiuwen is biased against his untouchables, he is not a bad person, and we still have to put his safety first. ”
Xi's voice suddenly trembled a little, and he said angrily: "The Nine Emperor Princes don't treat untouchables as human beings like Dai Zhong, and they don't care about their lives, what's the difference between them?" ”
Qing'er was stunned when she heard this. What is the difference between Jiuwen and Dai Zhong? She had never thought of that. Although she knew it in her heart, she couldn't say why for a while. I couldn't help but be in a daze there.
Silen snorted and left in a huff.
Qing'er looked at his back and couldn't help but feel a little confused, and was in a daze, when someone suddenly patted her on the shoulder, Qing'er looked back and saw that it was Jiuwen.
Jiuwen smiled happily:
"I can't imagine that there is such a coincidence in the world, do you know whose army is fifty miles south of the city? Haha, it is the third son of General Song, Captain Song Fei. I'll meet him later, do you want to join in the fun? ”
Of course! How could this kind of excitement be without Qing'er, she happily ran across the courtyard to find Xi and Xiao Er, but found that Xi had already laid down to rest.
She tiptoed out of the house, and Zhao Xiaoer went to Jiuwen's backyard together.
When I went, I found that there were few people in total, and Jiuwen insisted on wearing his cloth clothes. Sun Yuanwai didn't stop this time, and he also thought that it was too eye-catching to dress well when he went out of the city.
The minority obeyed the majority, Qing'er had no choice but to change clothes with Xiao Er, and a group of five people pretended to be ordinary people, and quietly went out of the city and ran south from the back door.
The trip went very smoothly, and this Second Lieutenant Song's temper was very similar to his father's, and it was all decided in less than three or five sentences.
In addition, the two places were not far away, and on the way back from their errands, the sun was still in the sky, only slightly westerly.
Jiuwen slowly rode his horse and walked on the official road, looking at the surrounding barren scene and said:
"Qing'er, you see that these villages seem to be empty, I don't know if people have run to Muzhou, or have they starved to death? In fact, some of the food from the imperial court was distributed to the villagers, and some of them were saved. ”
Qing'er heard him take the initiative to mention this matter, so she learned some of Wanfeng's words that day, and also told Xi's speculation.
After hearing this, Jiuwen frowned and was silent for a long time, and then sighed after a while:
"If it is really as expected by the West, then Dai Zhong is not worthy of being the pastor of a state. When the people are gone, who are they shepherding? We roughly calculate that there are 100,000 people in Yunzhou, about 60,000 in the village, and more than 30,000 people from low backgrounds. These people don't want all of them, so when the famine passes, who will farm the land? If no one farms, how long will it take for Yunzhou to recover? If the state pastor is short-sighted to this point, it is really a disaster for Yunzhou! ”
Qing'er listened to him and felt at ease, although Jiuwen's starting point was completely different from her, but at least everyone was still a united front.
They chatted all the way, walked slowly all the way, and after a while before the poisonous sun of summer broke, Jiuwen began to call for water, and when he went out, he was in a hurry, everyone only cared about changing clothes, and no one thought about bringing water.
Xiao San and Xiao Er looked down for a long time, but they didn't see any people, although there were many villages on both sides, but they had already been empty.
After walking forward for a while, Jiuwen saw smoke rising from the curling ground on the side of the road, and rushed over excitedly as soon as he pulled the reins.
The group left the official road and walked on the path, but when they entered the village, they found that there were also ten rooms and nine empty rooms.
Jiuwen got off the horse and walked to a house with a half-open courtyard door, Xiao San called a few times but no one answered.
Since it was an empty house again, Xiao San and Xiao Er walked in, and sure enough, they saw a well in the courtyard and stepped forward to get water together.
Qing'er wanted to go to find the bowl, but when she saw that the door was open, she asked a few times and no one answered, so she gently pushed the door open, suddenly screamed, and retreated.
Jiuwen also rushed over when he heard the sound, and Qing'er turned around and plunged into his arms, without saying a word.
The light in the room was weak, Jiuwen stayed under the sun for a long time, only to see the darkness flickering, he squinted for a while, and saw two old men lying on a broken bed on the right side of the door.
They were so thin that they were skinny and bones, and they couldn't tell whether they were men or women, and they couldn't tell whether they were alive or dead. (To be continued......)
