Chapter 133: Interviewing the Victims Splashing in the river

So Qi Xiangtian Ying and Chu Xiangzhaoyang wanted to intercede for Song State this time, but Wei Si caught Chu State and asked for twenty cities in Song State, and they were speechless and temporarily retreated.

The next day, Wei Si saw that the water was gradually receding, so he took Zilian outside Xiangling City to appease the nearby people who were temporarily resettled here due to the flooding of their homes due to the diversion of the Yellow River.

Wei Si and Zi Lian also personally walked to the front and distributed rice grain for these people, Wei Si was responsible for scooping rice, and Zi Lian was responsible for putting the rice grain into bags for the people.

At this time, it was the turn of a young man who came empty-handed and dressed in rags, Zi Lian saw that he did not bring anything containing rice, but stretched out his two hands, and wanted to hold them with his hands like this, so he stopped and asked:

"Little brother, why do others have something to hold rice, why don't you have it? Have you been like this a few times before? ”

The boy replied:

"My family is poor, just an old mother, and I don't have anything to hold rice, it's all packed in a big vat, I can't move the vat, right?"

Zi Lian smiled:

"I see, but you can't leak it when you hold it with both hands like this?"

The boy shook his head:

"No, I'm used to it, sister-in-law, you're just it!"

The guards on the side saw that this young man was called Queen Zilian like this, and was about to shout at him:

"Presumptuous, you ......!"

was Wei Si said:

"Don't say more!"

And stopped.

The young man naturally didn't know that it was the king and queen of Wei who were delivering food to him in front of him, so he angrily looked at the guards who had just drunk himself, and then said helplessly to Zilian:

"These officers and soldiers know how to bully us poor people, sister-in-law, hurry up and send me the rice grain, otherwise I'm afraid they will be embarrassed for me later!"

Zi Lian deliberately asked loudly:

"Why is that?"

The boy's frightened body trembled:

"Sister-in-law, don't be so loud, otherwise you will offend these officers and soldiers, and it will not be good for you and me at that time!"

Wei Si next to him also smiled lightly:

"Little brother, if there is anything unspeakable, just say it, and the widow and the queen will make decisions for you!"

When the young man heard this, he was shocked, and then pointed to Wei Si and Zi Lian and said:

"You...... You...... You guys! ”

The soldier who had been talking next to him spoke again:

"You are presumptuous, do you know who you are referring to? I tell you, these are the kings and queens of our Wei Kingdom! ”

The young man was so frightened that he hurriedly took a few steps back and sat down on the ground, and the people lining up nearby knew that it was the king and queen who gave the food, and they all quickly knelt down before the two of them.

Zi Lian came up and personally helped the young man up and comforted him:

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, little brother, we won't hurt you, as long as you have anything dissatisfied, you can say it, and the king and I will uphold justice for you."

The young man also slowly eased up, and then glanced at King Wei and the queen who was supporting him with a frightened expression, and wanted to salute with the two, but was pulled by Zi Lian:

"Little brother, don't be polite, let's talk about anyone who is embarrassing you first, right?"

At this moment, the young man saw that the king and queen of Wei were going to make decisions for themselves themselves, and he was also bold, so he pointed to the guard who had just murdered him and said:

"The first two times I came to receive rice, it was that he and the grain officer said that I had nothing to hold grain, so he would not send me rice, so my mother and I had not eaten for several days, and if we could not receive rice again this time, my mother would have to starve to death!"

At this time, the grain officer and the guard also came over and knelt in front of Wei Si and Zilian, and began to justify:

"Our Lord Li Su, who is the one who distributes disaster relief grain in Wei State, has a rule, and if there is no grain, no grain will be distributed, and the king and queen are invited to learn from it!"

"Yes, it doesn't have anything to hold food, and we don't dare to disobey Lord Li Su's order to send him food!"

At this time, the young man angrily yelled at the two people:

"Since it is a disaster relief, and we are required to bring our own food, how can we, the poor, have anything to store? Is this the reason why we will not be given food and let us starve to death? ”

Many people behind him also began to shout:

"yes!"

"Yes, I have been deducted several times for disaster relief food because I didn't have anything to hold food before, and I ask the king and queen to be the master of our people!"

At this time, Wei Si also ordered someone to call Li Su, who was in charge of the disaster relief food, and a group of officials.

Since Li Su was in Daliang, he couldn't come so quickly, so Wei Si and Zilian still personally distributed all the rice and grain to the people, and then went to visit the young man's residence by the way.

Listening to the introduction of the entourage halfway, Wei Si learned that the young man's name was Zheng Yi, and he was a descendant of Zheng Guo, whose father Zheng Xi was killed in the last battle of Wei Chu Xiangling, so Zheng Yi depended on his mother since he was a child.

Wei Si sighed at this time:

"Alas, it's all because the war has killed so many innocent families!"

Zi Lian also said:

"Yes, when will our Great Wei be able to end this endless war!"

Wei Si's expression was a little helpless:

"If you want to end the war, you can only wait for the widow to dominate the world, but in the end of the widow's life, whether you can accomplish this goal may also be a test!"

Zi Lian leaned over and grabbed Wei Si's arm, looking at Wei Si:

"Husband, I believe you can, in the future, Zilian and I will also help my husband to achieve the unification of the world, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and there will never be such a tragedy as the destruction of the family because of the war."

Wei Si nodded:

"Let's work together!"

After a while, the two walked outside Zheng Yi's residence.

I saw Zheng Yi and his haggard, white-haired old mother sitting around a big tree, building a vegetable fire, and putting a large vat on the firewood, and the two seemed to be cooking.

At this time, Zilian couldn't help but say:

"This ...... This...... Don't they even have a pot? ”

Wei Si took the opportunity to walk to other places, looked at the other people who had taken refuge in the vicinity, and found that some people were cooking in brand-new clay pots and pots, and many of them were like Zheng Yi's mother and son, because there was no boiler for cooking, and some broken tiles were used on the fire, barely boiling the rice grain they had just received.

Wei Si went up and asked one of the women, who was boiling rice and water on the fire with broken tiles:

"Sister-in-law, why do you use these broken tiles to cook? But I've just seen a lot of people like you using brand new pots and pans. ”

The woman seemed to have tears in the corners of her eyes, and looked at Wei Si:

"Official, you may not know that before we were placed here this time, the grain relief officer originally said that he would give each of us a cooking utensil, but after we came here, the grain relief officer forced us to pay money in exchange for the cooking utensils on the grounds that the utensils were insufficient.

Wei Si was taken aback, and asked:

"What? And such things? ”

The woman nodded:

"Official, what I said is true, if you don't believe it, you can ask the nearby villagers who don't even have cooking utensils like me!"

Wei Si naturally felt angry in his heart at this time, and after comforting the woman, he returned to Zheng Yi's mother and son.

At this time, Zi Lian was sticking his head into the jar to help Zheng Yi's mother and son scoop up the porridge that had been cooked, and when Zi Lian scooped it up for the two of them, when he turned around, his face and clothes were all black, and Wei Si, who was watching, couldn't help laughing, pointed at Zi Lian and said:

"Haha, haha, Lian'er, look at how ...... you look now!"

Zi Lian didn't notice it, but asked Wei Si:

"What's wrong? Am I that funny? ”

Zheng Yi also raised his head and glanced at Zilian, with a hint of embarrassment and apology on his face:

"Queen, I said it all, I don't need you to help us personally, now you are so dirty, I ...... My mother and I can't help it! ”

Zheng Yi's mother was shocked at this time, looked at Zilian and said:

"You...... You...... Are you the queen mother of our Great Wei? ”

Zi Lian nodded:

"Yes, I am the Queen!"

Zheng Yi's mother hurriedly pulled Zheng Yi to kneel down and salute Zilian, but was stopped by Zilian:

"Auntie, you don't need to be so polite!"

Zheng Yi's mother was still very surprised.

Wei Si came over at this time and pulled La Zilian:

"Lian'er, let's find a place to wash first, you ...... It's scary! ”

Wei Si took himself and Zilian to the edge of a nearby river.

Seeing that the river water was very clear, and the weather was hot at this time, after Zi Lian scrubbed it, he came over and said to Wei Si:

"Husband, I want to bathe here, do you think it's okay?"

Wei Si was stunned for a moment:

"This ...... This...... Isn't that okay? ”

Zi Lian asked:

"What's so bad? Do you just tell the guards to keep their backs around and keep them from coming closer? ”

Wei Si nodded:

"Okay, go wash it, pay attention to safety, although the water of this river is crystal clear, it still looks quite deep!"

Zi Lian nodded:

"Xiaojun I know, husband, you don't want to think about it, I grew up by Yishui, today I will show you Xiaojun my water to the king!"

After speaking, after throwing the coat into Wei Si's hand, he jumped into the water.

After Zi Lian tried to swim two laps in the water, he shouted to Wei Si on the shore:

"Husband, in such a hot weather, don't you want to come down and cool off?"

Wei Si replied:

"Lian'er, didn't you ask me to help you watch here?"

Zi Lian smiled:

"There are guards guarding, why do you need the king, you can come down to accompany Lian'er!"

After speaking, he desperately splashed the water in the river towards Wei Si.

At this time, Wei Si saw that his clothes had been splashed wet by Zi Lian, and he saw that his body was indeed sweating, so he also took off his coat, jumped into the water, and swam to Zi Lian's side.

At this time, Zi Lian affectionately glanced at Wei Si, who had just swam over:

"Husband, I didn't expect you to be so good at water, why do you have to swim in the water with clothes on, or I'll help you fade away?"

Wei Si smiled at Zi Lian:

"Lian'er, aren't you also wearing clothes?"

Zilian's face was as red as a cherry:

"Husband, you can also come and remove these restraints for Xiaojun!"
