Shen Rui has seen Zhang Huixun's arrogant and indifferent appearance, and he has also seen his scoundrel and lazy appearance, but he has never seen the kind of military temperament that belongs to the children of a military general's family.

In Shen Rui's subconscious, cockfighting lackeys and hippie smiling faces are the norm for these noble second ancestors, and the false title of Jinyiwei is just to make his father and ancestor look good.

But he didn't think about it, after the little emperor gave the order to "go see the homeless people", Zhang Hui immediately accepted his cynical face, as if he received a military order, drove his horse away, and faintly brought out the momentum of the general's prestige on the battlefield.

As soon as the young men who were still laughing and playful saw Zhang Hui's posture coming, they also put away their playful thoughts, their faces were solemn, their waists were straight, and they instantly entered the state of Jinyi Guard.

Zhang Hui arrived in front of everyone and raised his voice: "There are homeless people in front, and the son is going to check on him, and I will protect each other left and right." Everyone, listen to me! ”

Because on the official road out of the city, Zhang Hui did not reveal the identity of Brother Shou, and only referred to him as a son.

The teenagers and the many guards behind them said "yes" in unison, and the sound was very imposing.

Li Chang was stunned over there, not knowing where the little master made noble friends.

Shen Rui couldn't help but secretly applaud, this is the momentum of the Son of Heaven guard!

Brother Shou was also extremely satisfied, nodded with a smile, and asked Shen Rui again: "Are you at ease now?" ”

Shen Rui smiled: "Live up to the name of Jinyiwei!" ”

Brother Shou high-fived and laughed, "Not bad, not bad!" ”

Over there, Zhang Hui had already assigned everyone and came to inform Shen Rui and Brother Shou again.

Zhang Hui himself took two tall and brave teenagers, Gao Wenhu and You Xuan, and a few fierce-looking guards to take the lead to deter the other party.

Shen Rui and Cai Liang are on either side of Brother Shou, and the two of them are older and resourceful, and they can also adapt to changes.

The rest of the boys were put behind, and the guards surrounded them to protect them.

Shen Rui listened to Zhang Hui's assignment quite methodically, and glanced at him again.

Brother Shou was not very happy to hear that he couldn't take the lead, but he listened to the persuasion this time and stayed in the protective circle.

When the team marched forward to make a tea, they could see a manor in the distance, and sure enough, everyone was gathered at the gate.

When I got closer, I found that these people were not noisy, but sat silently on the ground, and in the silence, an invisible and great pressure permeated.

Hearing the sound of the hooves of the horses stepping on the ground, a few men stood up in the crowd, put their hands on the pergola and looked east, and saw dozens of horsemen coming towards this side violently, and they couldn't help but change color on their faces.

One of the middle-aged men with a dark face and a cloth belt on his left arm said anxiously: "Seeing that the comer is not good, tell everyone to avoid it." ”

A young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes on the side immediately shouted: "No, this one will have to get food!" ”

Soon, three or two agreed with him, saying that if he didn't take the grain today, he would run out of cooking.

The middle-aged man said angrily: "You don't look at who is here, let alone fifty horses, which is an ordinary person!" It's not about to leave, the guy who will eat later asked someone to pick it up, and he wants food to have a fart! ”

A few more people looked back and forth at the two of them and the horse team in the distance, still hesitating.

The middle-aged man stomped his feet and said, "If you don't leave, it'll be too late!" ”

The young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes stiffened his neck and said: "There are more than 300 of us, and the officials don't dare to do anything to everyone, and those people don't even have the clothes of the servants - Lao Hei, you will be cowardly if you break a shoulder." ”

The middle-aged man who was called Lao Hei's face was a little darker, spat on the ground, and said, "Little cub who hasn't grown up yet, you know a fart!" It's not just the official errand that stabs your hands! ”

Seeing that the horse team was getting closer and closer, and the brocade clothes on those people were faintly visible, Lao Hei was anxious, and he didn't care about explaining, pushed away the two men beside him, whistled, and beckoned the homeless people sitting on the ground to get up quickly and walk to the west.

Most of the homeless people looked blank, and when they heard someone calling, they got up and followed the walking corpse with the large army, although the old black urged very quickly, but no one quickened their pace—they really had no physical strength.

The young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes was in a hurry when he saw it, and while he hurriedly summoned people to stop the homeless, he drank to stop the old black, but he took the time to secretly ask the short and stocky man next to him: "Uncle, what should I do?" ”

The short and fat man had been paying no attention to the mess here, and his big brass eyes were only staring at the approaching horse team, and suddenly he shouted loudly, "They have a cart!" There are pigs in the car! ”

The young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes was stunned for a moment, then he realized and was overjoyed, and immediately shouted: "Look, everyone! There's meat in the car over there! Then he ordered the people next to him to shout.

"After grabbing the meat, we will run separately and go west to the place where we lived yesterday! There are few of them, there are many of us, and they can't catch us! ”

"It's like a couple of pigs! Everyone can share the meat! ”

At this time, the border is tight, and the people of Shanxi have always had the heaviest burden, not to mention the time when the disaster occurred, that is, the people who cut half a pound of meat in ordinary years are wealthy families, and it is not easy for the working people to have enough to eat.

Meat is the most primitive luxury in my heart.

Especially when I was hungry all the way.

The homeless people were still numb faces, but there was a light of desire in their eyes, and they followed the point of the short and fat man and others, and rushed straight to the cart with the tail of the horse team.

Although the guards on the horse team's side were nervous about the emperor's safety, in the end, all of them were elites with one enemy and ten, and there were more than 50 people, and they also knew that the emperor's secret guard would be close to the left, so they would not put two or three hundred homeless people in their eyes, thinking that after the chaos was dispersed, the masters would go to the village to eat and drink, where would they be willing to give up the valuable fresh vegetables on the car.

Seeing that the homeless people were in chaos for a while, and then someone shouted something in a mess, and I couldn't hear it clearly from a distance, I saw that many homeless people turned around towards their team again, and many guards became alert, and the formation became more and more strict.

Zhang Hui and the others also entered a state of alert, their muscles tense, and this was the first time they had fought outside of drills.

Brother Shou was very excited, staring at the group of people with good eyes, his head tilted slightly, and said to Shen Rui: "Did they see the wine and meat in our car and want to rob us?" ”

Shen Rui was speechless, Your Majesty, you are afraid that the world will not be chaotic, but you have to cough helplessly, "I hope they don't do stupid things." ”

Brother Shou pouted at the guard's side and said, "I saw the Praetorian Guards practicing all day long, and there was no actual battle, so it was really boring." I don't know if I can see it today. ”

Although Shen Rui knew that he was disappointed, he did not follow the path of a military attaché, as a literati student, he should still admonish His Majesty, so he lowered his voice and said: "You don't like to hear what I say, but the student has to say it." The identities of these people in front of them are unknown, if they are chaotic people and thieves, then the army will put down the chaos is the right way. But if it is only a homeless people, then they are all His Majesty's people, and the monarch should be lenient and appeased, rather than deterred by killing. ”

Brother Shou frowned and muttered, "You and your father-in-law are becoming more and more alike." But he had no choice but to nod and answer: "That's the reason." ”

As he spoke, the homeless people had approached the official road and headed straight for the cart behind the horse team.

Zhang Hui shouted: "Liu Liang! Zhao Hu! Zhang Gu! ......" he called out the names of the ten guards and shouted, "Cut it!" ”

With his roll call, several horsemen galloped out of the group and rushed towards the homeless.

The homeless people who ran in front could only see the pig's head and pig's trotters exposed on the cart, and there was nothing else in their eyes, but suddenly they saw the high-headed horse rushing into view, and the rider was fierce and vicious, and his momentum was amazing, and his legs were weak when he boarded.

In particular, these fierce gods are still holding knives!

They don't know that the sword does not come out of its sheath, but it is a deterrent, and it is not fatal to sweep people with its scabbard at once.

But he was still afraid that the knife would fall on him in the next moment, and he was so frightened that he ran to both sides, far away from the killing god on horseback.

Under this rush, the displaced people who had just gathered immediately scattered and fled in all directions.

The guards did not persecute either, and when they saw that the displaced people had been dispersed, they made a small circle and turned around to choose a direction and rushed again, repeating several times to completely separate the crowd.

Shen Rui watched the battle on the horse, and shouted in his heart, but he still couldn't help but say: "Second Brother Zhang, it may not be a good thing to ask someone to come back and circle the homeless people in a few places, so that they can be scattered everywhere." ”

Brother Shou yawned and said, "Such a battle is vulnerable, it's really boring and boring." However, what Shen Rui said is also right, Zhang Hui, don't let people run away, don't go to other places. ”

Cai Liang has been observing the homeless people, and when he heard this, he also said: "Look at someone fanning the flames, you see, is the earth-colored short and short comparison next to the thin bamboo pole over there?" Shoot him in the arm! As he spoke, he pointed in the direction of the thick-eyed and big-eyed young man and the short and fat man.

Zhang Hui stood on the stirrup and looked at it carefully, and said, "It's that thief!" But this is already a hundred steps away, the accuracy is a little worse, Tian Meng, maybe he was arrested? A guard beside him urged his horse out.

Zhang Hui hurriedly sent people to accompany him, arrested those who advocated incitement, and sent a message to the previous guards, went around in a big circle, and brought the displaced people back.

A few horses came galloping, and the leaders such as the thick-eyed and big-eyed young man and the short and fat man also noticed that something was wrong, and immediately pulled out their legs and ran.

How could two legs outrun four legs, and asked a few guards to grab the placket one by one and drag them to the horse, and bring them back.

And the other guards also had to order the horses to enclose the land, and gradually circle the displaced people, but they were not gathered in one place, but in several pieces.

Suddenly, a man with a cloth belt wrapped around his left arm stumbled over from there. There are guards with sharp eyes, and they have already driven their horses over to intercept them, for fear that he will collide with the nobles.

I didn't want the man to wait for the guards to arrive, so he suddenly fell to his knees with a thud and kowtowed.

Zhang Hui and You Xuan couldn't help frowning, Gao Wenhu was not afraid of the raging people at all, but he was the softest, and he couldn't see such a low and small, so he couldn't stop going to see Zhang Hui, wanting to ask for a favor, but he didn't know how to speak.

Brother Shou stretched his neck and looked at it, and said with interest: "Look at that, do you want to stop the sedan chair and shout injustice?" Tell him what he has been wronged. ”

Stopping a sedan car? Shouting injustice?! Shen Rui has a black line, Brother Shou has read how many words in the book, and he is deeply poisoned, where does this come from so many grievances. "Be careful, lest someone with bad intentions take advantage of us to relax our vigilance and break out. ”

Brother Shou was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said: "Reasonable and reasonable, to prevent him from deceiving and luring the enemy." ”

Zhang Hui turned his head and glanced at Shen Rui deeply, but Shen Rui's eyes fell on the kneeling man, looking up and down, speculating on his intentions

But when he saw the man raise his head, a smile that was more ugly than crying appeared on his dark face, and shouted with a little trill: "The little ones are blind, they originally wanted to ask the grandfathers for two mouthfuls of food, not intentionally blocking the grandfathers, and the grandfathers please spare their lives." As he spoke, he kowtowed, kowtowed a few times and raised his head, repeating the passage.

At this time, the guards returned and threw the captured young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a short and fat man, and others beside the man with his arm bandaged. Several people rolled off their horses and screamed miserably, and some of them didn't care about the pain, got up, and knelt down and kowtowed to beg for mercy.

Zhang Hui turned around and asked Brother Shou, but Brother Shou asked Shen Rui that Zhuangzi might be able to lock up these many people.

Shen Rui had just thought about this problem, and now he could only settle the displaced people first, and then seek other things.

The Shen family's Zhuangzi is not big, in fact, it is not suitable for rehousing these many displaced people, but now the first thing is the word "trustworthy", and there must be no chaos, so Shen Rui should still say: "You can resettle it for the time being." It's just not a long-term solution. ”

Brother Shou smiled, showed a mouthful of white teeth, and pointed at Shen Rui and said, "Don't worry, I won't let your family raise disaster victims." He quickly straightened up his face and ordered: "Let's go to Zhuangzi and ask carefully." ”

Shen Rui ordered Li Chang to open the way first and opened the gate of Zhuangzi. The guards changed formations and surrounded the boys and went to the village.

Another guard grabbed Lao Hei, Humpty Dumpty and other homeless leaders, and asked them to shout and beckon the homeless people to enter the village.

Shen Rui ordered Shen Rui to set up multiple cauldrons to cook porridge, and more than half of the villagers came to help.

The homeless smelled the fragrance of rice, gradually quieted down, obediently obeyed the instructions of the village, washed their hands and faces with hot water, lined up to receive porridge, and ate in the designated place.

The main courtyard in Zhuangzi is a unique courtyard, exquisitely repaired, it was originally left for the master's family to come and live in a small place, everything is complete, there are special people to clean and wipe it every day, it is exceptionally clean and tidy.

The teenagers were not informal, as if they were going back to their homes, they sat down in the upper room and ate hot tea and snacks.

The guards over there, under the leadership of Shen Rui, tied up a group of homeless leaders to the wing room and began to interrogate them briefly.

Shen Rui settled Brother Shou and the others, confessed, came out and walked around with Zhuangtou, instructed many precautions, and asked someone to go to Zhang Luo clean old clothes and buy herbs.

The most feared thing about sheltering the victims is that there are people who are suffering from epidemics. There's no good way to test them, and to be on the safe side, it's best to burn all their clothes and shave their hair off – to prevent lice and fleas from spreading the germs, and then rinse them with hot herbs.

But it is an impossible task to let people shave their heads, and it is winter, and there are not so many conditions for bathing, and it is even more troublesome to run rampant with the flu caused by cold and fever.

Therefore, we can only settle for the next best thing, and what extent can we do it.

But Shen Rui still told the villagers to be more careful, not to have too much direct contact with the victims, and to observe more, and screen out the victims who acted in an orderly manner, and came out smartly and generously to help the people in the village.

But fortunately, it is winter, and there are many fewer epidemics than in summer.

Shen Rui returned to the main courtyard worriedly, and entered the upper room, only to see Brother Shou sitting in the warm pavilion with Zhang Hui and Cai Liang, meeting their heads to discuss something, while the other teenagers gathered outside to laugh and joke.

Seeing Shen Rui coming, Brother Shou beckoned him over, and said with a smile: "We are discussing how to settle these people." ”

He pointed at Cai Liang and said: "He said that if he wants to ask his hometown, he will be sent back to his hometown and ask the magistrate." He pointed at Zhang Hui again and said, "He said that people have to be locked up and carefully investigated." ”

When he first learned that there were homeless people, Shen Rui made all his concerns clear with Zhang Hui, who was probably influenced by Shen Rui, and also felt that there were too many strange things about this matter, which needed to be investigated.

But Cai Liang didn't know the details, and he didn't think about it so far-reaching, so he wanted to throw the hot potato back in the simplest way.

Shen Rui thought for a moment and said, "I think it's still necessary to inquire clearly." Moreover, now that it is winter and the road is becoming more and more difficult, it is not appropriate to send these people back to their places of origin immediately, for fear of casualties on the road, and good things will become bad things. ”

When Cai Liang heard this, he also nodded approvingly: "It was my negligence." At this time, it is also difficult to travel to Shanxi. ”

Brother Shou touched his chin and said, "I'm only afraid that the Metropolitan Procuratorate will be verbose again." Where is it to be placed? The two eyes only looked at Shen Rui.

Shen Rui smiled bitterly: "It's okay to be here for a few days for the time being, but after a long time, I'm afraid that Yushi will impeach me for selling my reputation and inviting people to buy people's hearts." ”

Brother Shou waved his hand and said, "I said it, I won't let you keep raising these people for nothing." When spring begins, I will send it back. ”

Shen Rui said: "It's not that I don't want to raise them, but I think of a place where they can also come in handy." ”

Shou Geqi said: "What place? ”

Shen Rui smiled: "Isn't the emperor going to repair the West Garden?" Although it is not suitable to break ground in winter, some basic work can still be handed over to them, such as transporting stones and splitting wood, and digging shallow ditches. I see that there are not many old and young among the homeless people, and most of them are still young and strong, and this kind of hard work is still done. ”

Zhang Hui hesitated: "Cash-for-work? The imperial court originally used to let the victims clear the river, build embankments or reclaim wasteland, so how did the Xiyuan be repaired? And it's too close to the Imperial City. ”

Shen Rui said: "It is the cash-for-work work. Although it is to repair the West Garden, it is not much more difficult to clean the river and build the embankment in detail than the work arranged. Although it is close to the imperial city, there are many guards in the imperial city, so why not be afraid of the three or two people. There are also some elephant pigeon workshops in the West Garden, and the houses are also sheltered from the wind and rain, so they can repair them by themselves, which is much better than the existing shacks built next to them. As for rations and wages, it is much cheaper than the official start of construction in Xiyuan to mobilize people and craftsmen. ”

Brother Shou also thought about it carefully, nodded and said: "It's not bad to use work for relief, it's better than spending state money to feed them." It's okay to repair Xiyuan, they have done some work first, and they can start spring faster next year. ”

At one point, the cooks washed the vegetables and cut the meat, the pot was propped up, and the soil was also buried with a chicken called flower wrapped in mud and lotus leaves, and the teenagers happily enjoyed the food.

Brother Shou said that everyone present had the intention of investing to open a shop in Xiyuan, and asked about the specific plan of Shen Rui's Xiyuan, and a young man asked Shen Rui for business experience.

Shen Rui had already written a note on the matter of Xiyuan and handed it over to Brother Shou, and he had thought about many things thoroughly, and now he answered the questions raised by Brother Shou one by one, and told the teenagers some of the business scriptures he learned from Shen Lian.

Among the young people, except for Gao Wenhu, they are all rich in the family, and they don't care about the hundreds of taels of silver at all, but they are just interested in seeing the emperor and have fun, and they don't care much.

Gao Wenhu has been a wealthy family since he became a Jinyi guard, he is a casual and peaceful character, never extravagant, and does not pay much attention to business, but is quite interested in raising animals in Xiyuan.

Everyone ate pheasant, wild boar, fresh vegetables and vegetables, and drank three small jars of monkey wine, and ate very happily. Brother Shou also rested in the warm pavilion for more than half an hour before everyone packed up and prepared to return.

The guards had already interrogated several homeless leaders separately, and got a confession to talk to Brother Shou.

Brother Shou simply rolled his eyes, handed it to Shen Rui, and said: "People are here for you first, and they have found out in the past two days, if there is a problem, you should not be merciful." In two days, the Xiyuan side will be ready, and someone will take them over. ”

Shen Ruiying didn't believe in their confession, so he always had to deceive a few leaders, and then go deep into the homeless people to investigate and compare them to confirm the authenticity.

Brother Shou and others wanted to return to Beijing before dark, and Shen Rui said that he would stay in Zhuangzi to deal with follow-up matters, and also to prevent the displaced people from changing again, so he personally sat in Zhuangshang.

Before leaving, Brother Shou smiled and patted Shen Rui's shoulder who came to see him off, and said, "Don't delay your studies, it's good to get into the Jinshi early." He glanced at Shen Rui meaningfully.

Shen Rui knew in his heart, this is not the first time that Brother Shou has said this, if it is false to say that he is not moved, he straightened his clothes, and solemnly saluted: "I will live up to your high expectations." ”

Brother Shou nodded with satisfaction and returned with a group of people.

Shen Rui sent Li Chang back to his home to report the news, and transferred people from other villages to transfer grain.

The next day, Shen Lian personally came over to see if Shen Rui needed his help here, and also brought Xu's letterhead.

Xu followed Shen Cang to let go of the foreign appointment, Shen Cang was a member of the Shanxi Division, Lang Zhong, and the Shanxi Political Secretary, Xu knew a lot about the customs and customs of Shanxi, and also knew about the local disaster relief matters, so he wrote them all down and dragged Shen Lian to Shen Rui.

The third master also sent a message, saying that it would only take an hour for Shen Rui to return to Beijing, and if Shen Rui couldn't figure it out, he would go home directly to discuss it together.

Shen Lian told Shen Rui by the way that for the sake of the British government, Du Laoba readily agreed to help, and soon found out that the He family secretly disposed of a housekeeper brought up from the south, and quietly spent fifteen taels of silver in the field.

Shen Rui learned a lot from Xu's letterhead, and his dealings with this group of Shanxi disaster victims were much smoother, and everything in Zhuangzi was also progressing in an orderly manner, just waiting for the news of the start of construction in Xiyuan on Brother Shou's side to send people out.

Unexpectedly, two days later, Shen Rui was not waiting for the news of Xiyuan's groundbreaking.

Rather, there is a twist in the imperial history, impeaching Shen Zhou, the priest of the prince of Nanjing, for his improper life and personal morality, and he actually accepted the niece of the world and the daughter of the Jinshi as a concubine, which is really unbearable to be a teacher, and he is not worthy of being the education official of the prince of the country.

Together, Shen Zhou's disregard for his parents' orders when he was a teenager and regretted marrying the Sun family because of his suspicion of the family, as evidence of his unfilial piety and injustice......
