Chapter 186: The Beggar

After all, even if it's an old man, he can't force people to sell land.

For a while, Gu Bei was at a loss, and the redemption of land by Yunfang and Xingfang was also stranded.

When Gu Bei was still trying to figure out how to deal with this nail household, some people spread rumors and slandered Gu Bei.

Originally, it was just nonsense, but I didn't expect that this rumor against Gu Bei would be menacing, causing the people in Yingtianfu who didn't know the truth to talk about it.

"Brother Qin, have you heard? Chengnan Yunfang and Xingfang are about to be bulldozed to build a hitting court, and I heard that Gu County man will spend 250,000 taels of silver to repair the hitting court. ”

"Tsk, 250,000 taels? How much is that? These damn magnates, so rich, don't know how to give us a little. ”

"Originally, I thought that Gu County man was a good person, but I didn't expect it to be so extravagant."

"Bah, how can these powerful people be good? They should all be killed!"

"Shhhh

"I heard that the talents of Yunfang and Xingfang are pitiful, and they were directly driven out of the house by the men of Gu County, and became beggars, and their good homes are gone."

"This Gu County man is so rich and unkind at such a young age, it's really damn good!"

Rumors like this, because of the people's hatred of the rich, have been fermented by everyone's mouths, but they have aroused the anger of the people in the Heavenly Mansion.

Gu Bei's name was simply stinky for a while.

In this regard, Gu Bei, who was meditating hard in the mansion and how to buy land from Wang last year, still didn't know anything......

In fact, how much money Gu Bei spends has nothing to do with the people, but in the eyes of these generally illiterate people in Great Xia, being rich is itself an original sin.

As the saying goes, "I am poor and I am reasonable, you are rich and you are not benevolent", for businessmen and wealthy families, most of the people have such thoughts.

This is also one of the reasons why the rebels of all dynasties and dynasties can always attract enough responders as long as they shout the slogan "Equal to the noble and the low, both rich and poor".

Of course, the people are not to blame.

Even in the prosperous era of Great Xia, under this feudal dynastic system, all kinds of injustices abound, and it was quite normal for the people to hate the powerful.

But Gu Bei suffered an unjustified disaster, after being spread a wave of rumors, coupled with the people's natural hatred of the powerful and hatred of the rich, Gu Bei was cheated like this.

Now in Ying Tianfu, either he is discussing how rich that Gu County man is, so he will spend 250,000 taels of silver to build a polo field, or he will curse this kind of rich and unkind magnates.

For this reason, Gu Bei has been sneezing at home a lot these days, and he thought he had a cold.

On this day, Gu Bei was still in the mansion worrying about Wang's affairs last year, when he saw the housekeeper Uncle Zhong hurriedly walked in.

"Uncle Zhong, is there something wrong? Why the rush? Gu Bei saw that the old man looked nervous, and couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Uncle, there are suddenly a lot of beggars outside the gate today, and a large group of hula lala. Old man, the eldest lady is not in the house, the old slave does not dare to make decisions without permission, so he only let the gatekeepers stop them at the door, do you think you want to drive them away? ”

A beggar is a beggar.

Gu Bei couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this: "Where has there been a disaster recently?" ”

For example, after recruiting some displaced people last time, Daxia has been peaceful recently, and I haven't heard of disasters in the place, so why are there people fleeing and begging?

And even if you want to flee, shouldn't it be a time when you can't get over? How did the hordes of beggars appear?

Zhang Zhong shook his head: "It doesn't look like he is fleeing, but it looks like he is so begging in Yingtianfu, and he speaks in Yingtianfu accent." ”

Gu Bei couldn't help but wonder: "The beggar in the Heavenly Mansion? Why do these people come to the gate of Baifu to beg for food? ”

You must know that most of the people who live in this area are powerful or well-off, how can there be beggars who come here to beg?

In this regard, even Zhang Zhong was confused, he had lived all his life, and it was the first time he had encountered such a thing.

"Let's go, let's go outside the door and see what's going on." Gu Bei simply got up and beckoned Zhang Zhong to walk towards the door.

When a few people walked to the gate of the house, they saw that it was already full of people.

Sure enough, there was a group of ragged beggars outside the mansion, and they were noisily about entering the White Mansion, and there were no less than 100 people.

Outside the gate of the house, there was a group of soldiers and generals in the house, armed with blades and sticks, looking at these beggars with fierce eyes, and did not allow them to enter.

From time to time, passers-by followed to see the excitement, pointing at the beggars, and bursting out of laughter from time to time.

Xiao Ran saw that there were so many strangeness, and he was afraid that something would happen, so he stopped Gu Bei from stepping forward, and squeezed in front of the Fuzhong family general with a blade in hand.

"Who are you waiting for? Why did you come to the White House? Xiao Ran asked loudly.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we are very pitiful and helpless. I came to ask Gu Xiannan for help, and asked the nobles to look at me and wait for pity, and help one or two. ”

"I'm going to see Gu Xiannan and ask for your help."

"Please be gracious, look at me and wait for pity, and help the suffering."

A group of beggars shouted and shouted everything, and some even sang the beggar's song: "There are only twelve hours in a day, and there are only two or three rooms at a time, and one of them only asks for a penny, and the sky is so pitiful." ”

The group of beggars was so noisy that Xiao Ran had a headache, so he wanted to give them some clothes and food to send away.

"My aunt is waiting for the beggar to see him, I will ask you to prepare some clothes and food, and then leave quickly, everyone has hands and feet, why don't you do something? You have to beg for food!"

"Uncle, I don't want clothes and food, and I also ask Gu County to give me some silver, and I will leave immediately, and I will not be entangled."

"What?" The words of this beggar made Xiao Ran and the generals of the Bai Mansion stunned when they heard it, don't want clothes and food, ask for silver? Where did this bunch of lunatics come from?

"That's right, that's the case, Gu County's men have a lot of money and have nowhere to spend it, and it has been spread all over the Tianfu, Gu County's men's silver is discarded casually, such as abandoning their shoes, since this is the case, it's better to throw it to me and wait!"

"Yes, everyone in the Ying Tianfu said this, in the Gu County man's house, there is no longer enough silver to fit, there are mountains of gold and silver, please have mercy on me, just leak a little from the nobleman's fingers, save me is equal to fire and water!"

"Slaves are not greedy, just give slaves a gold leaf."

The beggars' words almost made the Baifu generals laugh, and even Gu Bei, who was at the back of the crowd, shook his head with a wry smile.

This is a rumor spread by that bastard, and he still has gold and silver mountains at home, I really don't know what to say.

How did he know that the so-called rumors are fiercer than tigers.

Gu Bei's twenty-five playing with two silvers has already been exaggerated beyond listening to the mouths of hundreds of people in Tianfu City, coupled with the promotion of people with intentions.

Now Gu Bei seems to have become the richest man in Great Xia, and it is rumored that the utensils in Gu County's man's house are all made of gold, and even the trees planted in the yard where he lives are gold from the trunk to the leaves.

There are even more people who say that they have seen with their own eyes, that Gu County man, even the stones in his home are gold, and he just discarded them on the ground at will, and he didn't bother to look at them.

And so on, the people of Great Xia worked hard, opened their brains, and used their imagination to conceive how rich Gu Bei was.

For this kind of rumor, people with a little brain naturally laughed it off and didn't take it seriously, but the group of beggars in Ying Tianfu believed it.

Attracted by the endless gold in Baifu, this group of beggars walked in groups and walked for a whole day before coming to Baifu, just to ask Gu Bei to give them some gold.

The words of the beggars naturally made the generals of the White Mansion laugh, and the eyes of the beggars changed from a little sympathy before to a madman.

Begging for food and copper coins instead of clothes and food, this is really the first time I have heard of it.

You are going to heaven! Why don't you just go to the capital and ask Your Majesty to give up the throne to you Gu Bei was also speechless, too lazy to pay attention to this group of crazy people, so he wanted Xiao Ran to drive them away, and when he was making a fuss, he saw more than a dozen healthy horses galloping on the street......

Jianma rushed straight to the door of the mansion, and when he got closer, the person who came was a middle-aged man, dressed as a master, who was Wu De's staff and a group of officials.

When this group of beggars came to the powerful area, Wu De didn't take it seriously, and when his subordinates came to report that the beggars had gone to Baifu, he felt nervous, and hurriedly sent his staff to rush over.

"Gu Xiannan, are you okay?"

"Master Xing, it's nothing, it's just a group of inexplicable beggars."

"I'll let the servants disperse them, these bastards, who are so indulgent and disgusting, disturbing troubles, are really hateful." Seeing that nothing major had happened, Master Xing also breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, the old man is not there, otherwise seeing this situation, it would be terrible, and Wu De would not pay attention to it.

Although the old man never bullied people, he may not be kind to this group of beggars, but Dong Weng inevitably scolded him.

After the master finished speaking, he hurriedly asked a group of servants to disperse the beggars.

This group of beggars was not afraid of the servants, not only refused to leave, but also cursed in their mouths: "Why drive me away? What royal law have we violated? ”

"We want to see Gu County Man and ask Gu County Man for mercy and reward gold!"

"Gu County's men can't use up all the gold, why don't they give me alms?"

"Yes, I'll wait for gold, just pick some gold leaves, pick up some gold stones."

"Don't talk nonsense with this group of servants, rush into the mansion, the countless gold in the Gu County man's house is for us to use."

"Yes, yes, rush in and get the gold."

The officials wanted to drive away this group of beggars, but when they saw that the beggars suddenly became excited, they wanted to break away from the guards and rush to the house.

Seeing that this group of beggars had a tendency to riot and make trouble, the officials did not dare to be careless, and hurriedly took out the waist knife chain from their waists, and smashed their heads and faces at the beggars.

The generals of the Bai Mansion clenched the blades and clubs in their hands, their eyes were vigilant, and all the beggars who wanted to storm the mansion were all knocked to the ground by them.

Bai Duoming begged Suoer, in front of Kong Wu's powerful generals and in front of the officials, the group couldn't please them.
