Chapter 191 Yamen
Because the Yellow River burst its banks, the vast plains on the edge of the Yellow River directly turned into a swamp.
Seeing that the harvest was about to be harvested, a flood at this time completely destroyed everyone's hopes.
For a time, mourning was everywhere, and homeless people were everywhere.
At the gate of the county yamen, a thin young man sounded the big drum at the gate of the county ya.
The drums sounded for a long time before a sleepy-eyed servant ran out of it, arranging his clothes as he ran.
"It's early in the morning, what to knock, disturb people's dreams, and don't move the rules!" When the official came out of it, he said to the young man with a head and a face.
After scolding like this for a while, seeing that the guy didn't say anything to refute, the official said impatiently: "What grievances do you have?" ”
"Sir, I'm so hungry, please give me something to eat." The young man said to the officer.
The servant looked at the young man in front of him like a monster, and said, "You beat the drum and cry out because of this?" ”
The young man nodded, but he didn't hide it, and said to the officer: "I'm so hungry, I haven't eaten for three days, and I want to see the county master, but I don't know how to do it, so I have to come up with such a method, and ask ......."
"I'll you!" Before the young man could finish speaking, the official was already enraged, and he kicked the young man violently, and directly kicked the young man to the ground, which he still did not understand his hatred, but still rushed forward, and punched and kicked the young man again, if it was not for the fear of killing people, he would never stop.
"Phew!" After the fight, the servant spat hard at the young man, and scolded and said: "Dare to play Lao Tzu, believe it or not, Lao Tzu will kill you now!" ”
"Ahem...... The young man seemed to have knocked out a tooth, and when he coughed, he brought out a lot of blood.
"Phew!" The official spat at the scholar again, and then walked into the yamen angrily.
The movement here has attracted a lot of onlookers, and they are pointing at this scholar, but no one dares to stand up to help at this time, after all, the opposite side is a servant and an official of the imperial court.
When the servant entered, everyone seemed to find that there was no excitement to watch, so they dispersed with a bang, and no one paid attention to the man who was lying on the ground and was beaten.
The young man struggled to his feet from the ground, his face pale, the after-effects of a long period of hunger, and his body was covered with dust, which was the mark of the soldier's violent beating of him.
After struggling to get up, the young man walked again towards the drum at the entrance of the yamen, and seemed to be ready to go and beat the drum again.
"Knock knock knock ......" Because of hunger, the man's strength in beating the drum was not great, so the drum was not very loud, but it could still be heard inside the yamen.
The official walked out of the yamen again, and when he saw the man, he didn't bother to ask, but came up and kicked the man down the steps.
"If you let me see you playing the drums again, be careful that I kill you!" After the official finished speaking, he couldn't help but spit at the young man fiercely.
There was a hint of cruelty in the officer's eyes, and when he saw everyone pointing and talking about this, he couldn't help but scold: "What do you see, why don't you disperse quickly, waiting for me to catch you and be beaten by the board?" ”
After the official finished speaking, the onlookers hurriedly and quietly walked away, the people did not fight with the officials, at this time, it was absolutely impossible for them to resist.
The official returned to the county office.
But the young man who was lying on the ground struggled to get up from the ground again, and his goal was still the sound of the drum.
"Is this young man crazy, he's going to beat the drum again?"
"Hey, the yamen, open to the south, don't come in if you have no money, the official doesn't look like a rich lord when he sees this kid, so he is naturally not polite to him, and I heard that he has no grievances, he just wants to order food from the county master."
"Why do you think that? For a bite to eat, but he put his net worth on the line. Another said.
"In a few days, it is estimated that everyone will be desperate for this stutter. The flood is so severe, and it seems that this year it will be a no-brainer. ”
"Didn't you say that the relief food of the imperial court has been distributed?"
"Heh, do you believe this kind of nonsense? The grain pulled down from the top is 1 million quintals, and it would be nice to have 100,000 quintals below. ”
"It's these 100,000 quintals, it is estimated that they can really be distributed to our victims, and if there are 10,000 quintals, it is remembered."
……
Everyone was pointing and talking about something, but no one stepped forward to stop the man, and everyone might be happy to see such a joke, which may be the only little fun in this boring life.
"If you beat the drum again, I'm afraid you will be beaten to death." At this time, suddenly a person stood up and said to this young man.
The young man turned his head to look at the man standing behind him, smiled bitterly, and said: "It is better to be beaten to death than to starve to death, I, Li Lei, are not afraid of death." ”
"It's a bit of a backbone!" The man nodded, as if he was very appreciative of the young man, he thought for a moment, and said to the young man, "How about we discuss?" ”
The young man laughed dryly and said, "Why not, it's just that Li is a dying person, and it is estimated that there is nothing to exchange with you." ”
"I'll give you a full meal, and your life will be mine, what?" The man said to the young man.
"If you want it, just take it!" Li Lei said indifferently, people who are oppressed by life have already taken their lives lightly at this time.
"Okay, remember the insult you suffered today, all of this was brought to you by the Song Dynasty court, I want you to see the faces of the group of people around you clearly, they know that you are about to die, but no one wants to lend a helping hand, on the contrary, they still want to watch from the sidelines and watch your jokes.
