Before the door opened, everyone outside the door was quiet, and after the door opened, everyone outside the door whispered

"Could it be Wei Hou?"

When Lan Ziyi gave up, as soon as everyone heard that it was really Wei Hou who came out, they were immediately ignited, and with Lan Ziyi as the ignition point, the passion fanned out among the crowd all over the street.

Lan Ziyi could clearly feel the warm emotions emanating from the crowd in front of him, they wanted to squeeze forward to touch Lan Ziyi, but they silently suppressed their feelings, although they were numerous, they had no intention of gathering to make trouble, they were quiet so that Lan Ziyi could not feel a little malice.

After Lan Ziyi finished asking, the crowd in front of the door fell silent for a while, no one spoke, and the little buzz just now disappeared without a trace.

The Tao brothers who were standing next to Lan Ziyi looked at the crowd that didn't speak and refused to move, and their hearts began to get nervous, and they secretly moved their steps to block Lan Ziyi's body, but they were glared back because Lan Ziyi noticed it.

At this time, the father and son of the Qiu family, who came from the mansion out of breath, also came to the gate of the mansion, and when they saw the confrontation scene in front of them, they immediately held their breath and forcibly suppressed their breath, and then silently walked out of the door and stood behind Lan Ziyi.

Tao Zhuhu, who had taken half a step back, thought about it and still felt that something was wrong, gritted his teeth and wanted to block Lan Ziyi to open his mouth to ask everyone in front of him, but this time he was stopped by Qiu Wenruo.

Tao Zhuhu turned around and asked in a low voice:

"Why did Mr. Wenruo stop me?"

Qiu Wenruo replied in a low voice:

"The people's hearts are like water, which can only be diverted, not stopped. At the moment, everyone has no malicious intent, and Da Lang must not act rashly! “

Hearing this, Tao Zhuhu said anxiously:

"What are you talking about, sir? Mr. didn't know, when the young master and I entered Beijing, we encountered a mob blocking the grain team in He**, and the road was also blocked like this at that time, and the young master and I were almost dragged off the horse by the mob and eaten alive. “

Qiu Wenruo heard that he had more force in his hands, and he grabbed Tao Zhuhu and said:

"At this time, at that time, Wei Hou can naturally serve the public by treating people with courtesy, but Da Lang is going to harm Wei Hou if he causes trouble!"

Lan Ziyi bowed over and stood in front, listening to the whispered argument behind him, while observing the movements of the people in front of him. Seeing that the crowd had not moved, and the peach chasing tiger behind him was about to act, Lan Ziyi gave up his hands once, this time he bent his waist lower than last time, and at the same time he said:

"Ziyi is not talented, leading the army to go out and causing all the fathers and elders to lose their husbands and have no children, this is the sin of Ziyi! As long as you fathers and elders open their mouths to say 'pay for their lives', I am willing to pay for my life to all of you! ”

As he spoke, Lan Ziyi threw off the front hem of his robe and knelt down and kowtowed to the crowd in front of him.

The Tao brothers and the enemy father and son who were standing behind Lan Ziyi were shocked when they heard this, while the crowd standing in front of Lan Ziyi was even more surprised when they heard this, and they all said "no". An old woman standing in the front row hurriedly stepped forward to help Lan Ziyi with the support of his daughter-in-law, and the old woman said:

"Master Hou, what are you talking about, we down-and-out military households are already shameless when we come to Wei Hou today, how dare we let Hou Ye bend his knees, Hou Ye has tormented his old body."

Lan Ziyi grabbed the old woman's hand and asked:

"Grandma has something to say, as long as Ziyi can do it, he will not refuse!"

The old woman had already burst into tears involuntarily after saying two words, and when she heard Lan Ziyi's words, she nodded excitedly and wiped her tears. Just listen to the old woman:

"Master Hou, since you say so, then let the old man have no face for a while.

To tell you the truth, I came to Wei Hou this time to ask Hou Ye to borrow some silver taels for dinner. “

Lan Ziyi was a little puzzled when he heard this, and he asked:

"Borrow money?"

When the old woman heard Lan Ziyi's question, she thought that Lan Ziyi didn't want to give money, so she knelt on the ground with a plop, Lan Ziyi was frightened by this kneeling and was caught off guard, and stepped forward to help people, while the old woman knelt on the ground and cried:

"Master Hou! I wait for these military families to be cheap, on weekdays, the strong men are busy with drills in the army, and the old and weak are at home to cultivate the garden and divide the thin fields, if the emperor has any conscription, it will also be used by us soldiers, but the annual military salary of the imperial court is not on time can be given to us. We understand that the imperial court lacks silver, and military households are naturally not as good as ordinary households. Although the annual salary of silver is paid to us for half a year at most, when Ding Zhuang is in the family, the food and vegetables in the army are all given, and we will not go hungry on weekdays.

This time, the army went out to suppress the bandits, and the camp was empty, and no one gave us orphans and widows any more food, and finally dug up wild vegetables and gnawed the bark, and when the army triumphed, the children at home died on the battlefield, and all the people who returned to the camp were the Eastern Army, and we went to ask for food again, and the camp didn't care about us. We really don't have anything to eat. “

The old woman knelt on the ground and cried while talking, the seemingly shriveled body weighed a thousand pounds at this time, and Lan Ziyi, a young man, couldn't help this old woman. The crowd gathered on the street listened to the old woman tell that she also secretly wiped her tears, and the atmosphere of the crowd changed, and there was a tendency of mountain rain to come and fill the building.

Qiu Xiao, who was standing in the back, took a step forward and asked:

"The villain dared to ask the fathers and elders, the generals and soldiers in the army have their own silver hair when they die in the court, you don't go to the battalion generals to ask, why do you want to come here to block the guard?"

The crowd was dissatisfied when they heard Qiu Xiaozhi's question, and they all scolded each other, but fortunately, the object of their curse was not Lan Ziyi or Qiu Xiaozhi, but their battalion generals and soldiers. The old woman who was kneeling on the ground cried when she heard this:

"Master Hou doesn't know, we went to find the battalion general, and the generals said that the court has no money for the time being, so let us bear with it. Now that the camp is busy reorganizing, we orphans and widows have already burned incense before we have been blasted out of our original places to make room for the Eastern Army, and we dare not quarrel with the camp anymore.

Although the old man is illiterate, he also knows that the siege of the yamen is a rebellion, and we military households know best that military law is ruthless, so we don't dare to go to the military department of the imperial court to block the road, so we came to Weihou here. “

Saying that, the old woman wiped a handful of tears, dragged Lan Ziyi's two hands and cried:

"Hou Ye, we have all heard that Hou Ye is benevolent and righteous, and the children who came back alive from the front line all say that Hou Ye loves soldiers like sons. The old man heard that the cousin and wife of Xu Sanhei's family were taken over by the Hou Ye.

The old body knew that Xu Sanhei Wei Hou Ye was the one who donated his life for the Hou Ye, and the old body did not dare to ask the Hou Ye to raise him, but only begged the Hou Ye to give him some silver and some rice, so that the old man and the child could have something to eat. “

Saying that, the old woman scolded the daughter-in-law beside her and said:

"What are you doing standing there stupidly? Hou Ye is in front of you, don't kneel down quickly! “

When the daughter-in-law heard this, she immediately knelt down and begged Lan Ziyi, and the people on the street also knelt down together, shouting in unison:

"Hou Ye is benevolent and righteous, beg Hou Ye to enjoy food!"

Among them, Ding Zhuang, who had broken arms and legs, waved his stump and shouted:

"Wei Hou! We've been thieves with you in Yuzhou and Xiangcheng! At that time, you ordered a reward more than once, but when you returned to the Beijing court, you didn't recognize the credit you promised! Wei Hou, you have to talk and count! “

The crowd immediately burst into tears under the leadership of these people, and Lan Ziyi himself was also infected by the atmosphere of the crowd and burst into tears. Tao Zhuhu, who was standing behind Lan Ziyi, sighed when he heard this, and whispered:

"The mess made by the imperial court turned out to be on our heads. It's really a good person to be bullied. “

Of course, Tao Zhuhu said this, which caused Lan Ziyi to look at him angrily, and he had to look away and shut up.

Lan Ziyi wiped away the tears on his face with his sleeve, supported the old woman hard, and said:

"Grandma, please get up, the soldiers were given their lives under my orders, and when they were said to ask me for silver, even if they came to ask me for my life, I had no reason to be vague!

Arise, and I will give you this money. “

Then Lan Ziyi raised his head and said loudly:

"Everyone's silver, I Lan Ziyi will give! According to the rules of the army, if you are lost or injured, I will give as much silver as I want. Those rewards I ordered are all rewarded, just like I said, then I will reward you with the silver of my Lan family's own family! “

Saying that, Lan Ziyi turned back to the Tao brothers and the Qiu family father and son and said:

"Second brother! Immediately you go to the ticket number and take the money. Eldest brother! You go and tell Wu Yousi to clean up the kitchen and cook porridge and steamed cakes for these villagers who come to ask for silver.

Two gentlemen, you prepare a book and a thin paper inkstone, and as soon as the eldest brother and the second brother come back, you two and the two elder brothers will work together to verify the merits and give money to the villagers. “

As soon as the people kneeling in front of Lan Ziyi heard Lan Ziyi say that he would give silver and food, they immediately jumped up and cheered, and the old woman was helped up by her daughter-in-law, grabbed Lan Ziyi's hand and cried:

"Hou Ye is benevolent, Hou Ye is benevolent!"

When the others heard this, they shouted:

"Master Hou is benevolent! Wei Hou Renyi! “

Someone led the crowd and immediately spread the slogan, and the slogan "Wei Hou Renyi" soared into the sky along the buildings next to the street.

Lan Ziyi looked at the excited crowd in front of him, listening to the cheers of the crowd, and for a moment he felt like he was back on the front line in Yuzhou.

However, Lan Ziyi didn't have long to be distracted, Qiu Wenruo pulled him back, and only heard Qiu Wenruo whisper:

"Wei Hou, this matter is not appropriate."
