Chapter 331: Poison Scheme
"The humble position understands, and after following the Hou Ye into the city and settling the Hou Ye's hiding place, the humble position will immediately gather people to do this." Shen Guang said solemnly.
Wang Junlin nodded, and the group walked towards the river bridge, they were dressed as a caravan, naturally in the team on the left.
Before Wang Junlin and his party stepped on the bridge again, suddenly, there was a violent sound of horses' hooves behind them, "Yes, yes, yes"
"Give way, give way, we are Qin Anhou's personal soldiers, who dares to stand in the way and kill whom!" Immediately after, a series of arrogant shouts rushed straight to the eardrums. Wang Junlin turned his head in astonishment, only to see a group of cavalry rushing from the west like a whirlwind. Along the way, whether it is a ragged homeless person or a pedestrian who can't avoid it, all of them ride their horses and crash without stopping, whether they are dead or alive!
"It's the devil's own soldier, hide!" I don't know who tore out his throat and shouted, fled the team with his legs, and plunged into the willow forest on the side of the road.
"The poison general's man is here! Hide! β
"It's the poison general's personal soldier!"
On the left and right sides of the bridge, all the people fled to the side of the road in unison. is like a frightened chick, lest he run slowly and be knocked to the ground by the pro-soldiers of the so-called poisonous general, and there is nowhere to redress his grievances.
In the blink of an eye, the river bridge, which had been crowded before, became unimpeded.
"Hahaha, hahaha! You and other untouchables dare to slander our Hou Ye, and when my Hou Ye comes, they will all poison or burn you to death. "The 'poison general's personal soldiers' who rushed to the bridge, could not be hit, waved the leather whip a few times triumphantly, laughed wildly and galloped away.
"Too much deception!"
"Why didn't His Majesty the Emperor catch that devil and behead him?"
On both sides of the bridge, scolding alternated. The people on the left, who were forced to get out of the way, cursed loudly at the backs of the people who were hurrying away from the other side. And the homeless people on the right side of the bridge have long been accustomed to being treated as mustard by the superiors. Silently emerged from the willow forest, silently and quickly walked to the bridge deck. Under the threat of soldiers, a long queue formed again. I just want to be able to arrive outside Jincheng as soon as possible and get a mouthful of food from the porridge shed of the imperial court.
At this time, in the team of displaced people on the right, there was a terrible scream, "Mother, mother, what's wrong with you, mother" followed, and there was chaos around, three children less than ten years old, a man with a broken shape, and an old man, gathered around the corpse of a woman, howling loudly.
"Dodge, dodge. Did people die? If you die, take it aside, Qin Anhou will soon come to Jincheng to sit in the governor's mansion, if Hou Ye sees you like this, how angry will you be. A fire captain shouted, and with a wave of his hand, a group of hungry wolf-like soldiers rushed up and struck the surrounding homeless people with their sticks, driving them back into their ranks. Immediately, he pointed a stick at the bridge of the bereaved man's nose and shouted a command.
The man had no strength to resist, so he knelt beside his wife's body, put her on his shoulder, and led the family slowly to the side of the road. The three children cried loudly as they staggered after their parents and grandfather, not daring to make any more stops.
"Damn it!" Seeing this, Wang Junlin was so angry that he jumped off the blood-maned horse with black hair and walked over to help the man hold the corpse on his shoulder.
Shen Guang and the two people also ran over quickly, grabbed the man's arm, and tried to help him get up from the ground and stand firm.
Xu Jingzong hesitated slightly, dismounted and moved, stepped forward to grab the three children, and sent the three children to their parents' side in the surprised or mocking eyes of everyone on the left side of the bridge. By the way, he quietly stuffed a piece of dry food into each of the three children's hands.
The three children were also so hungry that they smelled the food they had not seen for a long time, and immediately forgot the pain of losing their mother. Open your mouth and take a big bite of the dry food in your hands. Unexpectedly, he ate too quickly, and when he boarded, he was choked and rolled his eyes.
Wang Junlin and the others were shocked, and hurriedly slapped their backs with their hands to give the three children a good breath. Wang Junlin felt a little guilty in his heart, and with a wave of his hand, he took out all the dry food in Shen Guangxing's bag. It was sent to the three children.
Now, it's a big problem. With a bang, hundreds of homeless people broke away from the group and rushed to the pockets of dry food in front of the three children. Fortunately, Shen Guang and the two guards were smart and reacted quickly. Finding that the situation was not right, he immediately waved his scabbard and knocked the fastest homeless people to the ground one by one, scaring off the other homeless, so as to prevent several of them and the family they kindly rescued from being trampled to death by the swarming homeless!
Wang Junlin sighed, led someone to escort the family to the side, and helped the old man of the family to sit firmly on the stones on the side of the road.
Wang Junlin made a junior salute to the old man, Xu Jingzong and Shen Guang glanced at each other, and also followed Wang Junlin to salute.
"This old man, you have suffered, dare to ask where your family came from?"
The old man seemed to be numb to the death of his daughter-in-law, and there was not much sadness, so he hurriedly waved his hand and said: "The strong man Wan Mo did this ceremony, the old man can't afford it, the old man's surname is Zhang, half a month ago, the snow disaster in Anning County did not stop, the spring sowing was hopeless, and the one-year livelihood was cut off, after my son discussed with me, he decided to leave home and go south, and came to Jincheng, the capital of Zhouzhou, to see if he could ask for some work to feed the family, but unfortunately there was not much surplus grain last year, a little bit of grain was brought on the road, and a few mouths of the family were quickly eaten, and the daughter-in-law was starved to death just now......"
Looking up at the direction of Jincheng, the old man showed a bitter and sad look, and sighed: "I don't know if our family can survive in Jincheng, it is best to find a job of digging ditches and working on the feet, gritting my teeth and hoping to survive this disaster year, we will return to our hometown to sow and cultivate land, and draw a good harvest in the coming year......"
Wang Junlin smiled bitterly, looked at the dense refugees on the road, they were afraid that they all had the same idea as the old man, went to the state capital Jincheng, and then found a job to support their families, gritted their teeth to survive this year, but there are so many refugees, but there are not too many opportunities to work, so many refugees, how many people can find a job? The rest, where are their lives?
The mood was extremely heavy, but Wang Junlin smiled at the old man, and said warmly: "The old man will run the house, and your family's life will definitely get better and better. β
The old man sighed and said, "In the disaster year, where can I say the word 'peace'?" Thirty or fifty people who did not keep their duty gathered together to rob the rich landlords, and along the way, the homes of the rich landlords who were originally rich were also empty, and the whole family did not know where to go. β
