Chapter 181: The Fox Fake Tiger
In the first year of Xianheng, there was a great drought in Guanzhong, there was no rain for several months, even though it was the late autumn season, the sky was still stingy, the rain did not see or say, there was not even a cloud in the sky, the hot sun burned the earth, the pond was dry, the creek was dry, even the Bashui River that was always murmuring in the past was also exhausted to see the bottom, the earth cracked out countless criss-crossing cracks, like a mouth waiting to be fed, countless victims had to leave their hometowns with their families and ancestors, and embarked on the road of immigration. Fortunately, the local government has received the holy order, not only arranged manpower to maintain order, but also came forward to organize many local wealthy families to give porridge along the way, and finally barely maintained the life of most of the victims, but even so, there are still not a few infirm people who have gone out of business, how can it be desolate.
"Your Highness, rest for a while, you will be in Lantian in front of you."
Since the Hangu Pass, Li Xian's face has become more and more ugly day by day, and the smile of the past can no longer see a trace of not talking, and there are very few words, just caring about the crazy hurry, even when resting, he just silently stared at the refugees on the way, and the painful state made all the guards silent, no one dared to disturb Li Xian easily, and only Jiang Ye still had such courage, after galloping for several hours, seeing that the sky was close to noon, Jiang Ye rode a horse to catch up with Li Xian, Asked tentatively.
"Go to the station!"
Li Xian glanced at Jiang Ye, and replied in a hoarse voice, his face was still ugly, this was not Li Xian's deliberate act of being pitied, but from the bottom of his heart grief and guilt - this natural disaster Li Xian had long predicted, not only due to the experience of his previous life, but early received an early warning from various businesses, compared to the princes of the court, Li Xian was undoubtedly the first to know that the catastrophe was coming, but Li Xian did not poke this matter out, the most fundamental purpose was to take this opportunity to achieve the purpose of immigration, The reason is very simple, the population density in Guanzhong is too large, so big that it is overwhelmed, and this is precisely because Datang has always adhered to the principle of Guanzhong, and the local concept of the people of the country since ancient times is extremely heavy, and it is not easy to immigrate, only with the help of natural disasters can this purpose be achieved, and now, the goal is about to be achieved, but the heavy casualties make Li Xian feel extremely guilty, even if Li Xian has done his best to arrange for his business to donate money, but it still can't alleviate the depression and sadness in his heart.
"Speed up, Your Highness said, go to the post station to eat meat in a big piece and drink wine in a big bowl!"
Jiang Ye is an optimist who is covered when the sky falls, he doesn't mind Li Xian's indifference at all, he laughs and turns around, and roars at the already exhausted palace guards, which immediately aroused a strange scream from everyone, and the dull atmosphere in the team immediately lightened, although Li Xian heard it in his ears, he didn't pay attention to Jiang Ye's "crime" of tampering with his original words, just shook his head with a wry smile, and galloped forward on his horse......
Lantian, the southeast gateway of Chang'an City, belongs to Jingzhao Mansion, famous for its abundance of jade, the county seat is not big, the population is not much, there are more than 1,000 households in total, generally all of them live by jade mining or carving, although the drought Lantian is also a disaster place, but the disaster is not too serious, plus the city is more than handicrafts to make a living, the people of the city are still stable, but because it is located in the traffic pass, the people of the Quartet have to pass through here in the migration, the whole county is inevitably chaotic because of this, Even if Jingzhao Mansion sent a lot of officials to help, but could not clarify the chaos, in the end had to close the city and not accept the victims, only set up some porridge shacks along the road outside the city to relieve the victims, as a result, the four towns and eight fields have become a place for the victims to gather, even the post station outside the city is no exception, the dirty and messy scene made Li Xian and his party all frown, it was really unbearable, had to set up a small camp on a hill outside the city, and Li Xian, who had no intention of eating, did not even wait for the camp to be set up, led Jiang Ye and a few other relatives to hurry to the soup kitchen.
Lantian is the necessary place for the transfer of disaster victims everywhere, there are a lot of soup kitchens outside the city, there are both the porridge sheds of the Lantian government, there are also the porridge points of the rich households in the city, and there are many wealthy families in Beijing who have come here to set up a shed to give porridge, of course, the largest soup soup point is the porridge shed set up by Li Xian's "Deng Ji Firm", it is very easy to identify, the place where the victims gather the most, Li Xian is going to that place, but before Li Xian walked to the ground, there was a sudden riot in front of him, the sound of fighting, roaring, screaming, The curse sounded, Li Xian's face sank, and his steps couldn't help but speed up a little, relying on his strong body, he stubbornly lined up the chaotic crowd, just one look, his face instantly darkened - more than a dozen strong men in business clothes were beating up two victims!
Needless to say, even if it is not a person from the "Deng Ji Firm", it is absolutely inseparable from the business, as for the beaten, it is a little strange - a strong man with a beard desperately resisted the attack of the business staff, covering a middle-aged scribe behind him, his fist and foot skills are quite good, both fists are open, quite capable of subduing the tiger, no matter how a group of merchants and others attack, always as steady as a rock, but it is only defending, even if it is a lot of punches and kicks, and will never fight back.
“…… Hit, hit Lao Tzu hard, what's the matter, Lao Tzu is kind enough to put food for you, don't be grateful, don't say it, and dare to be suspicious of all kinds of chatter, looking for a pump, brothers, work harder for Lao Tzu, kill these two dogs, grandma's, don't go to inquire, can we wait for the 'Deng Ji business' to be provoked, tell you kid, don't say that you are two Diao people, it is the people of Jingzhao Mansion who are here, then you have to lie on your stomach, but behind our house stands His Royal Highness King Zhou, understand? Beat, brethren, work harder, and beat ...... to death."
There was a big fat man dressed in steward's clothes at the door of the porridge shack, roaring and cursing non-stop, while the onlookers all remained silent, but everyone's faces were full of anger and dare not speak.
Damn evil slaves! Li Xian didn't know what was going on, but when he heard the fat man's mouth full of nonsense, he guessed the root of the matter, and immediately became angry - in order to avoid suspicion, Li Xian rarely had personal dealings with the "Deng Ji Firm", and all the matters were arranged for Lin Hu to come forward to deal with it, and all the official troubles were generally settled by Gao Miao, so although many forces had guessed the relationship between the "Deng Ji Firm" and Li Xian, no one could make a mistake based on this, after all, it was an unwritten practice for the princes to take the dry share capital of the merchants, Even if he goes to the table on this basis, it is obvious that Li Xian can't do it, this kind of tacit thing can't be brought to the table, and the fat man actually dared to publicize it in public, which is already a taboo against Li Xian, not to mention that his move is obviously because of the revelation of the porridge and ginseng fake and carried out Li Xian's banner as a tiger skin, isn't this obviously ruining Li Xian's reputation, and besides, this relief to the victims is a major event in the court, and there must be no ambiguity, in case it is played by someone, see Li Xian a" The crime of buying people's hearts", the seriousness of the consequences is by no means a joke, Li Xian's anger was so angry that his face instantly darkened like the bottom of a pot, and the evil aura on his body immediately burst out.
"Take down that fat man!"
Li Xian is not an ordinary person in the end, he is angry, but he will never be out of proportion because of this, and he did not directly kill people, but ordered in a cold voice.
"No!"
Ling Zhong and others who followed Li Xian were all old guards of the palace, and they knew Li Xian's temperament, and when they heard Li Xian's tone, they didn't dare to slack off, and they each bowed down to make a promise, and they were about to step forward to take people, but they didn't expect that everyone had not stepped forward, and Jiang Ye, who was silent, ran to the front, and kicked the fat man who was still chattering to the ground with an unceremonious kick, and didn't care about his pig-like howl, and kicked it in front of Li Xian like a kick.
"Oh, kill someone, quick, save our family......"
The fat man was scolding, but he didn't expect that he would kill Cheng Cheng Jin halfway, and he didn't expect Jiang Ye to move his feet without even saying a word about the scene, and after a few hits, the poor fat man was already kicked unconscious, and he shouted wildly regardless of the three seven twenty-one places.
"It's not good, save the king."
"Where did the thief come from, looking for death!"
"them!"
……
The business guys who were beating the two victims heard the sound wrongly, and they didn't care about teaching the victims any more lessons, so they roared and threw themselves at Jiang Ye.
"Look for death!"
Ling Chong is the guard who has followed Li Xian for the longest time, as one of the core figures of the Zhou Palace, he knows what is going on with the "Deng Ji Firm", and when he saw that the business guys dared to be so presumptuous, he was angry, yelled, and led his guards to rush over against the guys who pounced.
The battle broke out quickly and ended faster, and the two sides were not at the same level at all, don't look at the many business guys, and they all had two hands under their hands, but when they met Ling Zhong and other master guards, it was not enough to see at all, just a face-to-face kung fu, a group of business guys had fallen to the ground, except for wailing and rolling, no one could have the strength to fight again.
"You, you are looking for death, my Royal Highness can't wait, you wait, ah......"
The fat man originally hoped that his men could save him from the sea of suffering, but he didn't expect that the subordinates who seemed to be outnumbered and powerful would be wiped out in an instant, and he immediately panicked, ignoring the pain in his body, he turned over and got up with a grunt, dropped a sentence, and planned to slip away, but he never thought that as soon as he turned around, he saw Li Xian's gloomy and murderous black face, and he was shocked and stood on the spot......
