A few people sitting next to Ren Gongzi immediately asked:

"How's the North going? Is there no food left? ”

Ren Gongzi waved his hand and said "stop" repeatedly. Then Ren Gongzi wrinkled his nose, tightened his upper lips, and really opened his mouth as if he wanted to swallow the sky, he said:

"There has been no food in the north for a long time, and now people are eating people everywhere, my father is in charge of Cao Yun, and he knows how much food is lacking in the north. Let's talk about this group of poor ghosts, they sit on weekdays and eat empty mountains and have no savings, and they will starve to death if they encounter a little disaster, that's all, do you know how shameless these people are? ”

The men asked:

"What's the shameless law?"

Ren Gongzi said:

"Even if these people don't have food for themselves, they still have to worry about the food in other people's hands. You said that the local gentry, wealthy merchants, people know how to operate on weekdays, have savings, and can barely feed a large family in a disaster year, and it is not enough to eat such a little food, but those hungry people still have to gather in front of the big households to ask for food, how can there be food for them? But do you know what bad ideas those people who can't get food come up with to ask for food? They cut off the heads of the dead in the streets and in the fields and threw them into the gentry's courtyards, and the good houses were made smelly and fishy! Those heads are all relatives and friends of the Diao people, Diao Min doesn't want to bury people, but humiliates the dead, and deliberately wants to cheat to get food, and get it for nothing! To tell the truth, these people deserve to starve to death! ”

Several other people at the table couldn't help nodding their heads when they listened to Ren Gongzi's words, only one of them shouldn't, and the man thought about it and said tentatively:

"But Ren Gongzi, the grain in the hands of the local gentry is collected from the hands of the people, and the people have no food to eat, and there is no way to ask the big families to borrow something, is it biased for you to say this?"

Ren Gongzi snorted several times when he heard this, his eyes were full of an incredible sense of justice, and the corners of his mouth rose to show his extreme contempt for the speaker, and he taught the human:

"I'm not biased when I say this, I'm speaking justice for the local gentry.

My Taizheng tax has always been to imitate the ancients, eleven and tax, a year of grain only one percent, the remaining ninety percent are all those who are distracting people, what are they not enough? Even those tenants pay only half of the annual harvest in rent, and the remaining half is not enough for them to eat?

Let me tell you, these people are not pitiful at all, they are lazy, they are greedy, they are idle, they eat a lot of food on weekdays, they can't turn around, and at the end of the year they can't survive and borrow money from the gentry, and the gentry kindly lend them money and food to save them, but they borrow money but don't pay it back on time, and in the year of disaster, they force the gentry to forgive their debts, which is really unreasonable.

Don't pity those Diao people, those Diao people in the north and other places in Taizheng are all virtuous, they don't obey education, they don't learn and don't have skills, and the poor people come out of the bad water! I had been to several counties in the north with my father, when I was still young, I thought that the people of the world were the same, so I went to the country private school to have a look, I wanted to lead those little people in the private school to go to the places of interest and historic sites, open their eyes, and guess what? Every one of these people who wanted to go told me that the cattle had not been fed, the pigs were still hungry, and the grass in the fields had not yet been pulled. I angrily asked Mr. Private School, why are your students all this virtue? The private school teacher actually told me that his students had to go back to the farm and had no time to go out and wander around. Wandering? Why did I take them to open their eyes?

If you want to say that it has to be my Jiangdong children, the children of the capital are perceptive, talented, or private school students, I once took a team of corner teenagers to visit Taixue, at that time I asked them a question, I asked the Northern Song Dynasty after the fall of the country, which dynasty is next. As a result, a student replied on the spot, 'Pseudo-Qi', I don't even remember this dynasty. So I asked him, 'Why is it pseudo-Qi?', and the student said, 'After the Jin people broke Bianliang, they established pseudo-Qi in the Central Plains, and Zhao Gou had not yet gone south to claim the emperor, so the Song in this era should be pseudo-Qi'. I really broke out in a cold sweat when I heard this, I don't remember such historical materials, but this student actually remembers. What does it mean to be terrible? This is called the terrible afterlife! What is the future of Taisho? This is the future of Taisho! The people you said are wasting Taisho's food by living in this world, they deserve to starve to death this time, forget it, what use do you want them to do? “

When the other people sitting together heard Ren Gongzi's lofty remarks, they were all convinced, clapping their hands in agreement, and even the person who had protested a little just now couldn't help but nod their heads, and fell to the ground in admiration. The man said:

"It's a servant who is confused for a while, and said the wrong thing, but fortunately, Childe clicked me to see the clouds, I have to ask the truth, Childe is really kind to me and reinvented! Come, Ren Gongzi, I toast you! ”

As he spoke, the man picked up the wine glass, and the others raised their glasses when they saw this, and Ren Gongzi raised his glass and smiled politely:

"You guys, you have to remember that those people are not human beings at all, don't worry about them."

If it was before, as far as Ren Gongzi said this, Lan Ziyi would have had a big fight with him if he didn't go up to do it, but now, Lan Ziyi no longer has the leisure to muddy the waters, he just sipped his tea and thought, how could he be mixed with this group of "people" in the poetry club at that time.

After a round of drinks on Ren Gongzi's table over there, someone asked:

"Ren Gongzi, you mentioned Ji Gongzi just now, didn't he take the imperial examination in the capital? How did it suddenly appear on the canal? Still in the same boat with you? ”

Ren Gongzi said:

"I didn't share the boat with him, I only passed by him, I went north, he went south, I saw that the man on the boat looked like him, but he pretended not to see it, I thought I was looking at the wrong person."

Another person:

"I heard that Ji Gongzi caused a lot of trouble, and yesterday the capital closed the city gate just to catch him."

That Ren Gongzi nodded when he heard this:

"I also heard about it after I landed. I came from Jinling, and I met him on the way, and I guessed that he was going south to Yuhang, and probably had to go to sea to escape. “

Hearing this, Lan Ziyi had already gotten enough news, he had already learned about Ji Zhinian's movements, and more importantly, Lan Ziyi knew that Ji Zhinian was taking the waterway.

In the kung fu that Lan Ziyi was listening to, Nangong Weiyun didn't say a word, she only glanced at Lan Ziyi's face, and then understood Lan Ziyi's thoughts. During this time, Nangong Weiyun just quietly ate vegetables, drank tea, and watched the scenery on the street. It wasn't until Lan Ziyi learned of Ji Zhinian's whereabouts and stretched his brows that Nangong Weiyun asked:

"Lan Gongzi is tracking down that Ji Gongzi?"

Nangong Weiyun's voice was very low, only Lan Ziyi on the other side could hear it, and her expression did not change in the slightest, even if the people around her saw her speak, it was difficult to be suspicious.

Lan Ziyi was slightly surprised by Nangong Weiyun's heartbreak, and then he calmed down again, he took a sip of tea, and said with a smile:

"Miss Nangong is very sharp, how do you know that I am interested in Ji Gongzi?"

Nangong Weiyun Road:

"After the first time Ji Gongzi's name was said at that table, Lan Gongzi, you calmed down, listened attentively, and when you heard where Ji Gongzi went, your face melted, and I saw your thoughts from Lan Gongzi's face."

Lan Ziyi said:

"In this way, I still have to be experienced, and I always feel a little embarrassed to be seen through so easily."

Nangong Weiyun Road:

"In this way, it was the little woman who forced Lan Gongzi to embarrass her."

Lan Ziyi said:

"Where, girl, you're just delicate."

Nangong Weiyun Road:

"Since Childe praises me for my delicate mind, let me say more. I see that Childe hasn't moved his chopsticks just now, and now he is even more restless, I guess Childe Ji is very important, right? Lan Gongzi, don't delay, let's go. ”

The girl's empathy softened Lan Ziyi's heart, Lan Ziyi looked down, and saw that the dishes on the table were eaten a lot by Nangong Weiyun, knowing that she should have a full stomach, so she arched her hand and said:

"Thank you, girl, I do have something to do. But before you go, I have something to give. “

Saying that, Lan Ziyi got up and led Nangong Weiyun downstairs. Nangong Weiyun followed Lan Ziyi, and the two went downstairs to the door of the restaurant, but saw that the racecourse guy was already waiting at the door. The fellow took the reins and arched his hand and said:

"Young master, the horse you want has been delivered."

Lan Ziyi nodded at the guy, then went out to take the reins, he led Nangong Weiyun to the horse, put the reins in her hand in person, Nangong Weiyun stroked the horse and said:

"Good horse, good horse, tall shoulders, strong body, shiny coat, really a good horse. Childe, are you going to give it to me? “

Lan Ziyi nodded and said:

"How can a girl be alone without animal power? I'm ready to saddle, girl, please go back. “
