Chapter 313: The Desire of the People

Liu Fengfeng came over for a short time, in such a short time, there were no less than ten people who came to Lu Liu'er to help write letters, looking at the girl on her side who looked tired but nodded to others with a smile, Liu Fengfeng was distressed, and pressed her hand: "Forget it, don't write anymore, today should be a day of rest and fun, you help write so many letters, your eyes can't stand it, right?" ”

Liu Fengfeng's worried look fell on Lu Liu'er's eyes, which made her heart warm slightly.

"It's okay," she smiled, breaking his hand and writing on the letterhead, "I'm fine anyway, I don't need to be busy, and it's nice to be able to do something for you, brothers, right?" That's all I can do, and I can help them share their worries. ”

"Why should you?"

Lu Liu'er turned her face with a smile and said with a gentle expression: "You really don't have to worry about me, I'm fine." ”

Obviously, the tiredness on her face couldn't be hidden, but Lu Liuer still insisted on writing the letter, which made Liu Fengfeng feel extremely dull.

"No, don't write this letter."

He rarely has such a tough time, usually Lu Liu'er, Liu Fengfeng always treats me with a gentle and patient attitude, it can be said that he has not disobeyed Lu Liu'er since he met, and now she insists on helping to write letters, but he refuses. After Lu Liu'er finished writing the letter in his hand, he waved his hand at the people who came here, and said in a loud voice: "Miss Lu is tired, let her rest today, and come back tomorrow if you need help writing the letter." ”

The soldiers who originally wanted to ask Lu Liuer to help write the letter couldn't help but look at each other when they heard this, but they didn't say anything, after all, they all saw the appearance of Lu Liu'er helping to write letters these days, and it was not easy for other girls, so they told Lu Liuer to pay more attention to rest and leave this place one after another.

In the small corner, there were only two people left, Liu Fengfeng and Lu Liu'er.

She was a little embarrassed, so she grabbed Liu Fengfeng's sleeve and whispered: "These brothers are not easy to ......."

Isn't it? Leaving home at a young age and coming to fight on this border, the least of the people may not have returned home for a few months, and it is normal for Lu Liuer to be a little unbearable.

"You feel sorry for them, I feel sorry for you." Lu Liu'er sighed and said, "This letter writing can be done slowly, but your body can't be slowly ruined, so you can help write letters day and night, what if you fall ill?" ”

"How can it be so fragile......"

"I don't care," Liu Fengfeng snorted, showing a rare little childishness, "Everyone else is eating, drinking, and having fun tonight, and you are alone in the busy, this is definitely not good." ”

Lu Liu'er was amused by his appearance.

Even if there were still some thoughts in his heart, they were scattered by Liu Fengfeng's persistence.

She looked at the person in front of her with a smile, and her heart was extremely emotional.

"It's nice to have you around."

With the deliberate connivance of their superiors, the soldiers could be said to have been playing all night, until the early hours of the morning, when it was almost dawn, when they dispersed, and at this time, Ling Cheng had already started his morning.

The tall city gate was slowly opened under the gaze of the people, and the people who were already waiting outside saw this situation, and rushed up, and in the crowd of people rubbing shoulders, Fang Zhen was so crowded that he almost couldn't breathe, if it weren't for the fact that he had been in the army for a long time and had learned martial arts, he might not be able to stand this situation.

I saw him push through the crowd and rush to the city gate, and when he was about to enter the city, the guard next to him suddenly stretched out his arm and stopped him.

"What are you doing here?"

Fang Zhen thought that he had been recognized, and when he was secretly frightened, he heard the guard say: "You need a pass to enter the city, and you are not allowed to enter without a pass." ”

Pass? Is this another way of saying Lingcheng about customs clearance documents?

Fang Zhen took out the customs clearance document from his tattered clothes, and handed it over as if offering a treasure, who expected that the official didn't even bother to take a second look, just glanced at it, and after seeing the style of the document, he waved his hand at Fang Zhen and asked him to leave quickly.

Fang Zhen was a little confused by these encounters.

The customs clearance documents in his hand were obtained by him with great difficulty, how could the guards of Lingcheng see the customs clearance documents, but they didn't have the slightest intention of letting him in?

They even waved at him, did this mean to let him go.

"Official, what do you mean by this, don't you allow me to go in?" Fang Zhen was in a hurry, and pressed the guard's hand and didn't let go.

"You really can't go in, for whatever reason, if you can't get in, you can't get in."

"But the customs clearance document in my hand is not fake, and there is a seal of the government on it, I can't just mess around with a seal to scare you, right?"

People like Fang Zhen who want to enter the city but can't enter, the guards have seen a lot these days, so they don't have any sympathy in their hearts, they sigh helplessly, and they still kindly explain to him: "You can't enter the city, not because there is a problem with this customs clearance paperwork, but-"

Before he could finish his words, the people queuing behind Fang Zhen were anxious, and they pushed and said, "What are you doing in front?" We're in a hurry to get into the city, don't delay people's time! ”

"You won't be allowed to go in without a pass."

The guard said, regardless of whether Fang Zhen could understand it or not, and directly pushed the person away.

Fang Zhen depressedly squeezed out of the crowd, thinking that he had finally rushed from the capital to Lingcheng, not to mention the fatigue of running all the way, and suffering a lot for various reasons, now that he finally came to Lingcheng Gate, he couldn't just give up!

To figure out the situation, he worked at a small tea stall outside the city gates.

For people like him, the owner of the tea stall seemed to be no longer surprised, greeted warmly, and it didn't take long to bring hot tea and refreshments.

"Shopkeeper, let me ask you something."

"What is the matter, officer, just ask." The stall owner's eyes turned around in the tea stall, feeling that there were no guests coming back at this time, and it was probably nothing to chat with the guests, so he walked to Fang Zhen's side.

From his mouth, Fang Zhen learned something.

It turns out that Lingcheng is now an independent place from the imperial court, and here, the customs clearance documents issued by the imperial court are useless at all, and the only voucher that can enter and exit is the pass issued by the official Lingcheng again.

Fang Zhen heard a complicated expression on his face: "Lu Li, you really have the guts, he does this, you are also willing?" ”

As an ordinary person, the stall owner said with a smile: "What's not satisfied with this, the imperial court pays heavy taxes, after General Lu came to Lingcheng, he agreed with Lord Ling to reduce the tax, so that we ordinary people have spare money in their hands, and life is much better than before, so why don't you want to?" We wish General Lu would stay in Lingcheng forever and not leave! ”

Fang Zhen breathed a little, wrinkled his brows and said: "Is there any misunderstanding in this, when I came all the way from the capital, I saw the scene of the people living and working in peace and contentment, how can there be any heavy tax problems?" The government is kind to us homeless people, and even the pass in my hand is issued by the government, how can the court treat ordinary people harshly? ”

He only said half of what he said, but the stall owner already understood what the other half meant.

said that the imperial court would not treat the people harshly, that is, their Lingcheng's parent official Ling Hongjiuhui?

What Ling Hongjiu did when he governed Lingcheng was seen by the people, whether he really wanted to make Lingcheng good, the people could see it! The official he was convinced of was splashed with dirty water by such an outsider, which was unbearable for no one to look at, and even more radical, he even took out an egg from his basket and smashed it in Fang Zhen's face.

Fang Zhen didn't expect this to happen, and after a moment of stunned, the egg had already snapped and shattered on his face.

"What do you mean by that?" His face was cold, and his eyes showed a fierce light.

The aunt who smashed the egg was taken aback, and subconsciously took a few steps back, but she still crossed her waist and said: "What else do you mean!" If you say bad things about our Lord Ling, you should be beaten! ”

When the people who were passively attracted by the silence heard this, they applauded one after another.

"Well said!"

Fang Zhen's expression became more and more gloomy.

It seems that after Lu Li arrived in Lingcheng, he and Ling Hongjiu, the parent of Lingcheng, did a lot of things to buy people's hearts, if it weren't for this, the people would not be so biased towards them.

This matter must be reported to the king as soon as possible!

Tossed all night last night, and because the person who drank some wine was a little confused, An Xiabai slept directly until noon the next day. As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Min Fanghua's worried expression.

"It's awake!"

An Xiabai gently pressed his temples with faint pain, and the whole person was a little confused.

"Mrs. Ling? What time is it? ”

Min Fanghua hugged the hour and ordered someone to bring the decanting soup and hand it to An Xiabai: "Let's drink some decanting soup first, you were a little drunk after drinking yesterday, I specially asked the kitchen to make it for you." Alas, if I had known that you were not strong enough to drink, I should not have given you that glass of wine last night, and caused Mrs. Lu to suffer such a crime, I really can't go over in my heart. ”

"It's okay." An Xiabai picked up the sobering soup and said with a smile, "Last night's atmosphere, even if you don't toast, I still want to drink it." ”

After she finished washing up and drank the sobering soup, Min Fanghua smiled and took An Xiabai's hand: "I originally wanted you to sleep a little longer and have a good rest, but there is something outside, I am afraid that people will wait for a hurry, so I will wake you up." ”

As soon as he heard that someone was waiting, An Xiabai became anxious: "Who is it?" Waiting for me? ”

"It's a few nobles from afar, you will be very happy to meet you."

Min Fanghua deliberately left suspense, wanting An Xiabai to go over and watch it in person.

An Xiabai didn't know why, under her guidance, she rushed all the way to the living room, and saw a person who shouldn't be here, just seeing a back, her heartbeat couldn't help but thump, and her eyes began to sour.

"Grandmother! How did you end up here! ”

It turned out that the person who was waiting was the Jiang family who was supposed to go to the Li family's hometown, and the so-called awakening in Min Fanghua's mouth meant her.

When the old lady heard the voice, she turned around and smiled at An Xiabai.
