When the homeless people heard this, they were a little confused.

They all looked at each other.

Kou Ji's words were untenable at all, but he stubbornly used the deterrent power brought by his official position to scare the homeless.

Some of the timid ones even took a few steps back and hid behind the others, for fear that Kou Ji would catch him and ask him for an explanation.

But some people were not afraid of Kou Ji, faced Kou Ji, and shouted: "You used sand to disguise as food, deceived us, and now you have been exposed on the spot, and you dare to talk nonsense, the sand on the ground is the evidence, everyone can see it clearly." ”

The shouters were loud, and the homeless people could hear them clearly.

Some people took the lead in denouncing Kou Ji, and the displaced people obeyed one after another.

In the fierce condemnation of the homeless people, Kou Ji took a step forward with a cold face and shouted: "Silence! ”

Liu Heng and Cao Tong were very cooperative, holding torches and standing on the left and right sides of Kou Ji, illuminating Kou Ji's body and making Kou Ji more intimidating.

Under Kou Ji's cold gaze, the voices of the homeless people arguing gradually became much quieter.

It wasn't that Kou Ji's deterrent power scared the homeless people again, but Chen Jing, Wang Tiansheng and others spoke out one after another and scolded the homeless, and the homeless people gradually calmed down.

Kou Ji waited until the displaced people calmed down, put his hands behind his back, and slowly spoke, "This official asks himself, since taking over from you, I have never done anything sorry for you, why do you want to target this official and trap this official in injustice?" ”

"Caomin and the others didn't target the Kougong Ministry, the Caomin and the others just wanted to ask the Kougong Ministry for an explanation."

A burly man with a black beard standing in front of the homeless people said in a loud voice.

Kou Ji's eyes fell on him, looked him up and down, and said coldly: "Come out and speak!" ”

The black-bearded man was like a bear, walking calmly and walked in front of Kou Ji, he stared at Kou Ji with a pair of big copper eyes, impartially, without the slightest fear in his eyes.

Kou Ji looked at the steps taken by the black-bearded man, and a strange color flashed in his eyes.

When the black-bearded man walks, his legs are slightly open, and the inside of his legs is outward, which is a bit of a loop.

His looped legs are very different from the natural looped legs, and they are obviously acquired.

So far, Kou Ji has only seen this kind of walking posture in one kind of person, that is, the Liao cavalry who lie on horseback all year round.

"Who are you?"

Kou Ji stared at the black-bearded man and asked.

The black-bearded man hugged his fists and said, "Grass people Peng Yue!" ”

Kou Ji asked again, "When will you enlist in the army, when will you be discharged?" ”

When the black-bearded man heard this, his expression was a little gloomy.

In the past, he didn't want to mention more, but Kou Ji had to answer when he asked.

The black-bearded man groaned again and again, and said in a low voice: "I enlisted in the army in the first year of Xianping, and served as the fourth military envoy of the right wing battalion of the Jingsai Army. ”

Hearing this answer, Kou Ji was a little surprised.

The Jingsai army can be regarded as one of the elites of many soldiers and horses in the Great Song Dynasty.

It was built during the reign of Taizong Zhao Guangyi.

When Taizong Zhao Guangyi reigned in Taiping Xingguo for four years, the northern expedition to the Liao State, and the Liao army launched a tragic battle in the Gaoliang River.

Not only was he hit an arrow in the buttocks, but he also lost the reputation of a donkey cart emperor because he ran away in a donkey cart.

In order to save his reputation, in order to defeat the elite cavalry Tielin Army of Liao.

Taizong Zhao Guangyi used the horses obtained from the Northern Expedition to personally supervise the construction of a heavy armored cavalry, with a total of 3,000 people, one person and five horses, and the soldiers were all from Yizhou, Saibei, and could open a hard bow of 200 catties, which was extremely fierce.

This heavy cavalry is the Jingsai Army.

In the first year of Taizong Duangong, the Song and Liao countries went to war in the area of the Tang River, and the Jingsai army appeared on the Song and Liao battlefields as the vanguard.

In the first battle of Tanghe, he defeated the formation of the Tielin Army, which Liao was most proud of, pursued the Liao army all the way to Caohe, beheaded 5,000, captured tens of thousands of horses, and became famous in the first battle.

The Jingsai Army was also promoted to one of the forbidden armies of the Great Song Dynasty.

In the years that followed, they attacked one after another, and they all succeeded.

Until the Battle of the Abyss.

The head of the Jingsai army (the commander of the army) was beheaded by the prison army because of the many expeditions, the people were sleepy and the horses were tired, and he refused to go out again, and was beheaded by the prison army.

Finally became obscure.

The big man named Peng Yue in front of him said that he was unarmed during the Dazhong Xiangfu period, so the reason why he left the army must be more or less related to the battle of Lanyuan.

Otherwise, as an envoy of the Jingsai army, it is impossible for him to become a civilian.

The military system of the Song army, the officials at the level of the infantry army are called the capital; The officials at the level of the Ma military are called military envoys.

The head of the capital is at the same level as the military envoy, and he leads a hundred soldiers under his jurisdiction.

Peng Yue's identity as a military envoy similar to the head of the capital is not comparable to Wu Song's head in "Water Margin".

Wu Song, the head appointed by the county government, can only be regarded as a big official.

Peng Yue's status as a military envoy is a real officer.

There is a clear difference between one official and one official.

Moreover, according to the practice in the Great Song Army, all officers who served as envoys of the forbidden army would be preceded by a loose official position.

For example, from the accompaniment captain of the ninth grade, or the benevolent captain of the ninth grade.

With the particularity of the Jingsai Army, before Peng Yue unloaded his armor, in front of the title of military envoy, he should have added the Renyong Lieutenant of Zhengjiupin.

However, no matter what Peng Yue's identity was before, Kou Ji didn't care much about it now.

He is now most concerned about the problem of the displaced people's disturbances.

Kou Ji stared at Peng Yue and asked, "What kind of explanation do you want this official to give you?" ”

Peng Yue raised his head and said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "It's not an explanation to the grass people, but an explanation to all the disaster victims." ”

"What's the explanation?"

Kou Ji asked coldly.

Peng Yue said in a deep voice: "Where did the grain sent to us by the imperial court go?" Why do you use sand and dirt to deceive us as food? ”

Kou Ji sneered: "The grain sent to you by the imperial court is naturally in the grain depot in Bianjing City. When it's time to give it to you, it will naturally be shipped out. This official has never used any sand and soil to pass it off as food.

When I brought the sand and dirt, did I tell you that it was grain? ”

Peng Yue clenched his fists slightly, gritted his teeth and said, "I haven't ......"

Kou Ji asked loudly, "Then tell me, when did this official coax you?" ”

Peng Yue raised his head, stared at Kou Ji with burning eyes, and asked, "Since it's not grain, why do you want to pile them up with grain?" ”

Kou Ji glanced at Peng Yue and sneered: "The things prepared by this official are useful, and I need to explain more to you." ”

Peng Yue's cheeks turned red, and he blew his beard and glared: "Why can't we ask about what the court sent us?" ”

When Kou Ji heard this, he stared at Peng Yue and said coldly, "What the imperial court sent you? You can be regarded as having served in the court, you will not be naïve to think that in addition to food, the court will also help you prepare houses, prepare beds, and prepare herbs, right? ”

Peng Yue was stunned when he heard this, frowned, and stared at Kou Ji suspiciously, "Isn't it ......?"

Kou Ji snorted coldly and did not speak.

Liu Heng said coldly on the side: "It was my fourth brother who was afraid that you would freeze to death and die of illness, so he took the initiative to take over the errand of relocating you, raised money by himself, bought herbs and wood, and built a house for you." ”

Cao Tong sneered and added: "When the imperial court arrives next spring, it will cut off your grain and grass." The reason why my fourth brother brought this sand here is also to help you build a workshop to make a living, so that you can still earn a bite to eat after next spring.

Not only did you not accept my fourth brother's affection, but you also raised the sand.

I want to see what you will eat after next spring without my fourth brother helping you build a workshop to make a living. ”

Liu Heng and Cao Tong followed Kou Ji's words, singing and ridiculing Peng Yue.

Peng Yue's face was flushed, and with the black mustache on his face, he looked like a red-faced yaksha.

Peng Yue held an official position in the court, and he was well aware of the style of doing things in the imperial court.

The imperial court has provided disaster relief over the years, either by giving a mouthful of food and letting the victims fend for themselves, or by classifying the victims into the box army, so that the victims can barely eat a mouthful of imperial grain.

The court basically never did anything to help the victims build houses.

This time, he followed the team of displaced people to Bianjing City, and saw the officials sent by the imperial court to help them build houses, and thought that it was at the feet of the Son of Heaven.

Now that he heard what Kou Ji and the three of them said, he understood.

It's not that the court has changed sex, but that they have met an official who really takes pity on them.

Peng Yue couldn't raise his head a little ashamed, he hung his head, covered his face, and said to Kou Ji: "It is the grass people who blame the Kou Gong Ministry, and the Kou Gong Department will be punished, even if it is done, the grass people will never complain." ”

Hearing Peng Yue's soft words, the look on Kou Ji's face softened a little.

He stared at Peng Yue and said, "The reason why this official has done so much is so that you, the people who have been affected by the disaster, can survive. Saving your life has already cost the official a lot of money, and how can the official hurt you again. ”

Peng Yue hugged his fists and bowed deeply to Kou Ji.

Kou Ji raised his head and looked at the other homeless people and said, "The value of the medicinal materials you have consumed in the past few days is far more expensive than food. How can the official who provides for you to drink medicine to prevent illness, how can he not be able to provide you with food?

The grain for you is piled up in the granary in Bianjing City.

It was already late at night, and the four gates of Bianjing City had already been locked, and it was impossible to transport the wolf grass out.

By tomorrow morning, the grain will be transported out of Bianjing City, and there will definitely be no shortage of food rations for you.

Nor will any of you go hungry. ”

Kou Ji persuaded Peng Yue, the leader, and took out medicinal materials to talk about things, and the homeless people reluctantly believed Kou Ji for three points.

In addition, Chen Jing, Wang Tiansheng and others frequently helped Kou Ji speak, and the emotions of the displaced people were not as excited as just now.

Kou Ji stared at the homeless people and said, "Don't wait until you go back to rest quickly." Tomorrow, a large number of people like you will rush over, and we will need your help to settle them.

If it is because of your fault that the resettlement of the victims went wrong, don't blame the official for not being merciful. ”

"Scattered!"

Kou Ji waved his hand.

Peng Yue took the lead in arching his hand, retreated into the ranks of the homeless, and then walked towards his tent.

Seeing this, the other homeless people also walked to their tents in twos and threes.

When Kou Ji saw the homeless people disperse, he breathed a sigh of relief.

He was really afraid that the homeless people would suddenly riot and make things out of control.

Liu Heng and Cao Tong beside him also breathed a sigh of relief.

They share Koji's concerns.

After Chen Jing, Wang Tiansheng and others pacified the displaced people, they walked in front of Kou Ji.

Chen Jing looked at Kou Ji worriedly and asked, "Kou Gong, the grain given to us by the imperial court is really in the grain depot in Bianjing City?" ”

Kou Ji stared at him and asked, "This official lied to you?" ”

Chen Jing smiled dryly, "That's not ......"

Wang Tiansheng stared at Kou Ji and said seriously: "Kou Gong Department, if something goes wrong with the food problem, you have to inform the students and others as soon as possible, so that the students and others can be prepared." ”

Kou Ji said indifferently: "There is no problem with food. You don't really believe those rumors, do you? ”

Chen Jing and Wang Tiansheng glanced at each other and shook their heads in unison.

The reason why they found Kou Ji was to get some accurate information from Kou Ji's mouth.

It's just that Kou Ji didn't reveal anything about it.

They didn't see any flaws, so they chose to believe Kou Ji's words.

The two bowed their hands to Koji and returned to their respective tents.

After all the displaced people were gone, Kou Ji asked the officials to pack up the torn grain bags, and he took Liu Heng and Cao Tong back to the tent.

As soon as you enter the tent.

Kou Ji said to Liu Heng and Cao Tong: "You two go to the South City Gate now, and go back to Bianjing City from the South City Gate." ”

Liu Heng and Cao Tong stared at Kou Ji and shook their heads in unison.

Kou Ji let them leave at this time, and the two of them knew what they were thinking.

Although Koji stopped the homeless people from making trouble and deceived the homeless, the problem was not solved at all.

When the fire is fired tomorrow.

If Kou Ji can't get food, then the displaced people won't believe any of Kou Ji's words.

When the time comes, they will not hesitate to rush up and tear apart all the officials and officials at the north gate to vent their anger.

They don't care that Kou Ji has a grandfather who is the prime minister behind him, and they don't care that Kou Ji has a deep friendship with the official Zhao Zhen.

Because in their eyes, no food is equivalent to no life.

Since his life is gone, he cares about what else he does.

The reason why Kou Ji let Liu Heng and Cao Tong take the lead and return to Bianjing City was to prevent Liu Heng and Cao Tong from being beaten to death by the homeless people.

Liu Heng stared at Kou Ji firmly and said, "Fourth brother, if you don't leave, I won't leave." ”

Cao Tong nodded and said, "Me too." ”

Kou Ji sighed and said in a deep voice: "Some of the homeless people believe my words, but some people definitely don't believe them. I don't know how many eyes are staring at me in the dark at this moment.

If I leave, they rush out together and stop me.

You're different, don't risk it with me. ”
