兰子义 says:

"Your idea is quite tempting, but why don't you want to think about it, as long as you follow me now, you can fill your stomach immediately, and you don't have to wait until after slaying demons."

Zheng Zhili stopped eating and drinking when he heard this, he raised his head and looked at Lan Ziyi, and then he said:

"Wei Hou, if people live only to eat and drink, then it is no different from livestock, the way of heaven lasts forever, how can we sit back and watch the demons do evil?"

Hearing this, Lan Ziyi sneered:

"Well, the man I told you these words didn't go as hungry as you did."

Lan Ziyi's words hit Zheng Zhili's heart, Zheng Zhili, who was still talking just now, suddenly became dumb, he thought for a long time, and opened his mouth several times to refute Lan Ziyi, but in the end, he didn't find the words after all, Lan Ziyi continued:

"I'm not wrong, you're not the kind of fool who follows the clouds, your sister is looking for nonsense to refute me, which means that you are still sober, and you understand the true situation in your heart, but you haven't believed your heart for the time being."

Zheng Zhili lowered his head by Lan Ziyi's words, he thought about it and finally silently picked up the chopsticks and continued to eat, but this time he no longer ate as much as he did just now, and he was told by Lan Ziyi that he had more thoughts. After eating a few more bites, Zheng Zhili asked Lan Ziyi:

"Wei Hou, I have food with you, I was with you to find food when I was in the countryside before, but what happened? I'm the only one to eat, and the others have no food or even die, is that what Wei Hou wants to see? ”

Lan Ziyi said:

"The people suffered, the court all looked at it, and the powerful merger, I also knew that the court and I did not do well at all, I never denied this. I just want to ask you, the thief promised you so many promises, but what did he actually give you? You said that you and many people in your fellow villagers went to join the demon thieves, so in the village, do you and your fellow villagers have food or those old thieves from Jiangbei?

Eat? ”

Lan Ziyi's words cleverly avoided the focus of the problem, Zheng Zhili said that he and Lan Ziyi may not have food and may affect his family, but Lan Ziyi replied that he is an honest man who speaks and talks about credibility, this little trick can only be regarded as a temptation of bargaining for countless old fritters in the capital, but for a simple child in the countryside like Zheng Zhili, this is the bait used by fishermen, one by one.

Sure enough, after Lan Ziyi cheekily said it, Zheng Zhili hesitated, and Lan Ziyi took the opportunity to ask:

"What about the brocade clothes I gave you the last time we met? That dress would have been better for you this winter. ”

Zheng Zhili put down his chopsticks when he heard this, Lan Ziyi could see the red emerging at the base of his ears, it was the result of his efforts to contain his shame, and he only heard Zheng Zhili whisper:

"He was taken away by the sacrificial wine of the camp."

Lan Ziyi asked:

"Why?"

This time, Zheng Zhili's voice was so small that he couldn't hear it, and he said:

"Because of the sacrifice of wine, real people, they need good clothes to worship the heavens and invite immortals, and those in need of help in the camp also need to dress warmly, and young adults like me should wear less."

Lan Ziyi sneered at the right time:

"'Should'? Who stipulates that those who have clothes should be frozen, but those who have no clothes are entitled to wear other people's clothes? ”

This time, Lan Ziyi stopped talking after Zheng Zhili finished speaking, Lan Ziyi felt that the heat was about the same, so he got up again and took off his robe and draped it on Zheng Zhili. In the past few days, Lan Ziyi didn't dress up when he went out, he just picked out an ordinary fox skin robe and wore it, but in Zheng Zhili's opinion, this kind of clothes is something that only fairies have, how dare he accept it, I saw Zheng Zhili get up and excuse himself:

"Wei Hou, the gift is heavy, how dare I accept such a thing?"

For the rich and powerful, it costs a small price to buy off the poor, while the poor who receive the favor will be grateful, in a sense, tolerance and mercy are luxuries that can be used to embellish their reputations as long as the powerful are willing to give alms.

What Lan Ziyi wanted was Zheng Zhili's way, he used his hands hard, and stuffed the robe into Zheng Zhili's hand, Lan Ziyi said:

"It doesn't matter if it's expensive or not, the important thing is that people shouldn't go hungry and cold. I don't have this robe, I have other clothes to wear, and if you don't have this clothes, you'll freeze to death. ”

Lan Ziyi's words were like a bowl of hot soup, Zheng Zhili drank it and intuitively felt that his internal organs frozen by the cold wind on the street were dissolved, the melted organs dredged the blood, heated the flesh and skin, and the steam rising from the inside out reddened Zheng Zhili's face and softened his heart, and finally, Zheng Zhili hugged Lan Ziyi's newly gifted leather robe and cried. Lan Ziyi patted him on the shoulder at the right time and said:

"Alright, alright, let's eat, who hasn't been deceived?"

Zheng Zhili folded his robe and put it on his straw bunk, he sobbed:

"I didn't cry because I was deceived, I cried because I was sorry for Wei Hou."

Lan Ziyi sat back in his seat and asked:

"How can you be sorry for me?"

Zheng Zhili replied:

"Wei Hou is an official and I am a thief, obviously I will harm Wei Hou if I come, obviously Wei Hou is so good to me, but I still listened to General Lei's words and came to Wei Hou, I am sorry for Wei Hou."

Lan Ziyi smiled:

"Don't blame yourself, even if you don't want to come to Lei Youde, you will find someone else, compared to other thieves I don't know, I still feel more pleasant to talk to you."

Zheng Zhili stopped crying when he heard Lan Ziyi's words. Hunger was still chasing after Zheng Zhili, so as soon as he stopped crying, Zheng Zhili moved his chopsticks again, but this time he ate much slower than just now. Lan Ziyi continued to ask at this time:

"Today's errand said that there were other people who were also caught, and they all came in to find me together?"

Zheng Zhili shook his head and said:

"No, I don't know who they went to, but I'm the only one who came to find Weihou, in fact, if those poor people don't say that there are other people, I don't know if they will enter the city."

Lan Ziyi said:

"This Lei Youde is still the same, and he does things without leakage. I'm curious how he settled you, the newly attached people of Jiangdong? ”

Zheng Zhili said:

"We were all separated and placed in the hills of the battalions."

Lan Ziyi said:

"How many Jiangdong newcomers are there in that battalion?"

Zheng Zhili said:

"The number of people in each battalion varies, 60% of the people with more people are from Jiangdong, and 40% of the people with fewer people."

Lan Ziyi stammered:

"With so many people, it seems that the loss of the demon thieves in the capital is not small."

Zheng Zhili said:

"There are many people in Jiangdong under Lei Youde, and many of the old people brought by Jiangbei no longer believe in immortals, and the last time the official army went into the mountains to exterminate the bandits, these are the people who are punished by heaven."

Lan Ziyi didn't have the heart to refute Zheng Zhili's heresy for the time being, he only asked:

"Oh, the official army exterminated those who did not believe in the path of reincarnation, this is called heavenly punishment, then you all admit that the official army is heavenly, why do you insult the official army as righteous demons? Since you regard the official army as a righteous demon, why did Lei Youde surrender to the demon and ask for peace? ”
