Chapter 44: The Influx

Seeing Gu Muyan crying, how could the old lady Fu endure it, and a little clumsily wiped away Gu Muyan's tears that had slid down her cheeks with her sleeve, and said softly and reproachfully: "Okay, okay, Yan'er doesn't cry, it's all grandfather's fault, shouldn't ask this, okay if you don't cry?" ”

"Is it good for my grandfather to wait for words, and when the words are ready, I will definitely tell my grandfather all the reasons for this!" Gu Muyan looked at Old Lady Fu as if he had made up his mind and said.

If he could, Gu Muyan wanted to solve all these things alone, but now it seems that his strength alone is too small after all.

Gu Muyan did seem to have an unspeakable appearance, and Old Lady Fu didn't say anything anymore, but just advised: "Since I have discovered a little clue about this matter, over time, if people find out that you have something to do with the people's grain farm, I am afraid that you will also be suspicious of you, you must remember to act carefully, if you need anything, just come to your grandfather." ”

"Thank you, grandfather." Gu Muyan said with red eyes, nodded solemnly, today's incident can be regarded as a warning, he has indeed done too much, and he still has to think about it in the long run.

And Old Lady Fu didn't know the truth from Gu Muyan after all, I'm afraid that the only one in this world who knows everything is Gu Muyan, such a thing as rebirth is too unbelievable, so Gu Muyan didn't think about whether to talk to his grandfather about it, originally thought that if he could hide it, he would hide it from this life, but in the end, Old Lady Fu found out that something was wrong.

A few days later, the news that refugees in the capital began to pour into the capital was already spreading, and when the news first came out, Gu Muyan and Su Ziran took out all the hundred taels of gold that had been rewarded before, originally wanting to go to the people's grain village to buy some grain and then go to the pharmacy to buy the medicinal materials written on Li Zhonghe's paper.

But the people's grain village did not collect a penny, and they actually wanted to give porridge with Gu Muyan and Su Ziran, so naturally it was very good, and Su Ziran also got acquainted with Ruoshu logically, this is the first step in Gu Muyan's plan this time.

So when those people really arrived outside the capital, it was too late for the other officials to follow suit, because the stalls of Gu Muyan and Su Ziran's soup porridge and the places where the refugees temporarily lived had already been arranged.

Refugees are not allowed to enter the capital, so Gu Muyan has long thought of setting up tents outside the city for the people to live temporarily.

"Rubbish! It's all a bunch of rubbish! was actually robbed by a group of women, do you know how my father mocked the king in the court today? Xiao Yi slapped the table heavily, as if there was a knife in his eyes, hanging over the heads of the kneeling strategists in the audience, making their scalps tingle.

A slightly older strategist raised his head and said to Xiao Yi with the courage to say: "Lord Wang, these women are okay with the porridge, if you say that you can control the scene, it must be absolutely difficult to do, if there is something wrong with the porridge shed at that time, those victims will not remember the kindness of the porridge before, it will only be more tyrannical, and the prince will still come forward to suppress it at that time!" ”

"What do you mean?" Xiao Yi frowned, his expression was not as terrifying as Fang Cai, and after thinking about it carefully, it was indeed a method, so he sat down, looked at the strategist who had just spoken, and said, "Go on." ”

"Yes!" The strategist respectfully bowed his hand, and then said: "As long as the time comes, arrange some people in the capital to mingle in, and lie that there is sand in the porridge, and the people are dull, they will naturally rush up, and once the scene is out of control, someone will definitely report to the official, and then the prince will only be ready, pretend that he has no intention of knowing about it, calm down the chaos, and he will definitely be able to win a good reputation, and now the magnates in the capital have a lot of complaints about the Prime Minister's Mansion, the Su Lord's Mansion and the people's grain farm, which is also conducive to our actions!" ”

"Good! Then I will leave it to you, and if you are short of silver or manpower, tell the king! After Xiao Yi finished speaking, he left in a good mood.

In an instant, the strategists below gasped as if relieved.

At this time, there are not many refugees outside the capital, so Gu Muyan and the people brought by Su Ziran can still take care of them, but the further they go, the more refugees will inevitably arrive in the capital, and it will be a matter of whether they can control the scene at that time.

Therefore, Gu Muyan directly discussed this matter with Su Ziran and Ruoshu, and in the end, he could only take one step at a time, but the three of them had reached a consensus, and all decisions would be handed over to Gu Muyan at that time.

The situation was really as Gu Muyan expected, in the first two days, there were fewer victims, the porridge shed for disaster relief was still enough, and the people who boiled the porridge were also enough, but the more later, the more people were affected, and the scene was chaotic for a while.

At this time, many victims were still shouting for rice porridge and steamed buns that they had not received relief, and then they were going to snatch the food from the refugees who had already received them, and then suddenly a few people in the crowd made a vomiting sound and spit the porridge directly on the ground: "This group of people has a beast's heart!" There's sand in this porridge! They weren't trying to save us at all! It's trying to kill us! ”

It's just that one person said it was not enough, and some people in the crowd said that there was yellow sand in their porridge, and showed it to the victims around them one by one, and then smashed the bowl of porridge directly on the ground, and as the victims saw the so-called 'truth' one by one, their anger completely exploded, and those few people did not know how to encourage the rest of the victims to mutiny.

The instigated victims almost indiscriminately threw the bowl in their hands directly to the soup kitchener, although there were family members in the house to resist one or two, but there were too many people, and there was no way to completely block it, so Gu Muyan, Su Ziran and Ruoshu were inevitably hit.

"Yan'er, what should I do now?" Su Ziran looked at Gu Muyan and was about to cry, she never thought that she would be treated like this!

Ruoshu on the side also set his eyes on Gu Muyan and said, "Miss Gu, we listen to you." ”

"Okay." Gu Muyan nodded, he had been observing the people who were making trouble in this crowd since just now, so now he knew their location well, so he said to Su Ziran: "The guards around you lend me a favor." ”

Then Su Ziran made a move, and those guards appeared in front of Gu Muyan again.

"You will catch all the people who are going out of here, especially those who are cleanly dressed and have unstained shoes, and if necessary, you can make an example of them." Gu Muyan pointed slightly to the chaotic disaster victims.

And the guards around Su Ziran did have some skills, and they took light skills, and they arrested those who took the lead in making trouble in three or two clicks, seeing that the scene was still uncontrollable, thinking of Gu Muyan's words, they really killed those few who resisted in public, and the victims saw that someone was killed, and the people were panicked, so they naturally didn't dare to move again.

"Kill! Kill! "The victims had never seen such a scene, and they were naturally frightened and retreated.

Su Ziran was naturally a person who had never seen such a scene, and his hand holding Gu Muyan was trembling slightly.

"Susu, if they don't die and the refugees rush up, maybe we will be trampled to death!" Gu Muyan comforted, but obviously Su Ziran couldn't listen to these now, so Gu Muyan could only hand Su Ziran to Ruoshu and said, "Ruoshu, take care of Su Su, I'll deal with these things." ”

I saw Gu Muyan walk in front of the crowd, very imposing, pointing to the corpse and the cholera people who were caught, and said, "Can you see what they are wearing?" It's cloth, but it's new! The cloth shoes on the feet are not stained with a trace of dust! Is this what a fugitive should look like? And look at the garments you wear, and the shoes you put on, which one is as neat as new? ”

As Gu Muyan's words landed, the victims present all lowered their heads and looked at the clothes on their bodies, because they were in a hurry, the clothes on their bodies were torn by the thorns on the road and they didn't have time to sew up, and the shoes on their feet had been worn to the bottom because they had walked too much, and then turned their heads to look at the people who were detained in front of them, and as Gu Muyan said, the clothes were as neat as new, and the cloth shoes were not stained with a trace of ash.

"The sand of the porridge," a man asked, as if aware of something, in a low voice.

"You also drank this rice porridge, but have you ever drunk sand? Have you ever eaten stones in the steamed buns? You are raising your eyes and looking at the white porridge all over the ground! Today we are not so well prepared, so there is not enough food, but we have informed the city that the reserve of food is already being delivered! You've come so long, why can't you wait so long? Gu Muyan continued, his eyes full of pity for the food on the ground.

At this time, the people realized that someone was deliberately making trouble, but it was too late, and the food in their hands had already been spilled on the ground.

Su Ziran, who was hiding in Ruoshu's arms, finally adjusted, and was infected by Gu Muyan's words, anger came from his heart, and he couldn't help but roar: "Do you know that the white porridge you threw out can't be drunk by many hungry people who want to!" ”

As Su Ziran and Gu Muyan's words fell, the faces of the victims were also resentful, and they knelt down in shame, looked at the white porridge on the ground, and wept silently, and the child in his arms couldn't help crying when he saw his relatives crying.

Such a scene moved everyone, their eyes were foggy, and tears were rolling in their eyes.

At this time, in a place that no one could see, Xiao Yi was standing on the city wall, watching everything that happened from a distance, his hands clenched into fists, and he looked at Gu Muyan's figure fiercely.
