Chapter 4 Yongning Shock
And Liang Zheng naturally didn't know that his name had been registered in the hearts of the current dynasty bosses, and he didn't know that his strategies had arrived in front of Emperor Chongzhen's dragon case.
At this moment, he was standing outside Yongning City, facing the refugees in ragged clothes and yellow muscles, and delivered his touching speech:
"Fellow fathers~!" Liang Zheng made a group of four directions, "Heaven is ruthless, disasters are repeated, since December last year, not a drop of rain has been seen, and since the beginning of spring this year, water, locusts, drought, the three-year-old disaster, the river and the river are exhausted, the year is a great hunger, it is really distressing......
Liang Zheng pounded his chest with grief as he spoke.
He was really heartbroken - because half a month ago, when he went out, there would be a scene of "thousands of empty alleys".
Therefore, in order to improve his reputation, he set up a porridge shop outside the city to help the victims.
During the Chongzhen period, natural disasters were frequent, and Henan was one of the hardest hit areas.
"The Chronicle of the Yu Change" once described the tragic situation:
“…… In the 12 years of drought, the rivers and rivers were exhausted, and half of the crops were not harvested, and the people apologized...... People do not dare to make grain, the grain is expensive, rice and wheat buckets are worth three thousand, and the grain is two thousand seven hundred. People eat each other, and there are fathers who eat their sons, and wives who eat their husbands. There are no lone travelers on the road, although the east and west villages do not dare to go back and forth. Those who died in the ravine gathered in droves and cut it, and the bones supported each other in an instant. ”
And now, although it has not yet reached the point of "cannibalism" in the twelve years of Chongzhen. However, the continuous small disasters have also turned the outside of Yongning City into a hell on earth, and countless hungry people have cried out for hunger and cold to wash their faces with tears.
It's just that......
He thought that in the face of such a miserable refugee, his act of such a "virgin" should always be accepted, and everyone should change their opinion of himself a little, right?
But I never thought that the porridge had been spread out for three days, and not a single grain of rice was distributed.
"How is this possible?"
Liang Zheng asked the little guy who was dejected and reported the bad news to himself.
"We don't know," the little guy looked innocent, "Obviously, the porridge shop of Li Yuanwai's house opposite is crowded with sheds every day, and the porridge is not enough to give ......."
One sentence directly choked Liang Zheng there.
Even if your reputation is not good, this is a soup kitchen, and it is a disaster victim! How can there be a reason for refugees to give food and not want it!
It seems that these little guys must not be doing their best!
A few days ago, Su Qinghe led people south to Guangzhou, saying that there was something urgent to do, and now these little guys staying in Liang Mansion are all newly bought half-grown children, and sure enough, none of them can be relied on, it seems that they still have to go out in person!
Liang Zheng secretly made up his mind, so he came to "persuade" in person:
"I, Liang, as a member of Henan, can't bear to see this tragic thing happen in the world, so I set up a porridge shop here today." Liang Zheng pointed behind him, "I promise everyone, since everyone has left their hometown and gone to Yongning, it will be considered home!" ”
As he spoke, he smiled like an angel: "The food is full, and the clothes are warm!" As long as there is one day when I am alone, I will never let everyone starve and freeze! ”
However, after a minute, the angel's smile began to freeze on his face.
Because of such a moving speech, the refugees around him still looked at themselves hesitantly......
He just stood still, motionless like a nail.
What's going on?
Could it be that my speech was not moving enough? Am I not sincere enough?
As a victim of the disaster who is "hungry and poorly clothed", please don't unscrupulously violate the fixed attributes of the victims, and immediately rush up to rob with gratitude is the reaction you should have now, right?
Liang Zheng frowned involuntarily, and stretched out his hand to beckon the skinny little girl at the front of the crowd:
"Little sister~ hungry, right?" He simply handed the porridge directly to her, "Take it and drink it...... This is a good rice porridge, and it won't fall when you insert chopsticks~! And this dress......"
Liang Zheng handed over another piece of clothing: "It's all for you~!" ”
The little girl looked at him timidly.
The one in front of him, that is the legendary "Yongning No. 1 Evil Youth", will he be so kind?
She thought so, but excessive hunger finally defeated fear, not to mention that there were too many people in Li Yuanwai's porridge shop, and the porridge was not enough, not to mention that she was too young to rob others, and they had not opened today, coupled with Liang Zheng's diligent persuasion, and the steaming rice porridge was indeed tempting in front of her.
The little girl couldn't help but swallow, and the little hand that was twisted behind her finally let go......
There are one and two, there are those who take the lead, and the others have obviously given up hesitation and hesitation, looking at the long queue in front of their porridge shop, Liang Zheng finally showed a satisfied smile.
Although for the notoriety of "Yongning's first evil youth", this time and twice charity does not have much effect, but after all, it is a good start, as long as you can persist for a long time, one day, you can take off this golden signboard.
It's just that he didn't expect that it was only a day......
"Young Master~! Big things are wrong! ”
The little guy with him stumbled into the study, almost knocking Liang Zheng, who was about to go out, into his arms.
"What's so flustered?" He couldn't help frowning and asked.
The little guy was pale and short of breath, took a deep breath, calmed down a little, and then said: "This morning, I was giving porridge in the shop, and suddenly a number of disaster victims came, and without saying a word, I surrounded the shop. ”
"Oh?"
"The first leader named Liu Erwa, full of anger, said that he drank our porridge in the morning, and the result was ...... Results ......"
The little guy suddenly lost his voice when he said this, and the expression that had just calmed down reappeared the initial horror again.
"What was the result?" Liang Zheng had to ask.
The little guy stared at the eyes that almost fell out of the window, swallowed several mouthfuls of saliva, and said, "I kicked my legs and died." ”
This sentence was said very lightly, but when Liang Zheng heard this, it was like a scorching thunder in his heart, and he was instantly petrified.
His own porridge actually drank the dead?
How is this possible?!
I send porridge and soup porridge by myself, don't you just want to change your image, isn't this kind of plot twist too godly?
"Did you see it with your own eyes?" He asked hurriedly.
"Well, that's not it."
"Since you haven't seen it with your own eyes, how do you know that the man died after drinking our porridge?" Liang Zheng involuntarily raised his questioning voice.
"But, but......" the little guy said, "I recognize that Liu Erwa, who did come to our shop in the morning to get porridge, because he asked for more than others, I refused at first, and quarreled with him, so I was particularly impressed." ”
"That doesn't prove that his father died after drinking our porridge." Liang Zheng said.
"But Liu Erwa kept saying that the reason why he wanted an extra copy was for his father, his father had bad legs and feet and couldn't come in person, and he insisted that our family's porridge medicine died, and now he is telling in the yamen, Liu Toutou has arrived outside the door, please go over immediately...... Willow, willow catcher? ”
The latter sentence was said to the door, Liang Zheng followed his gaze, and this time found that Liu Ang had already arrived in the room.
That Liu Ang and Liang Zheng have always been good friends, that day Wu Dalie took the school Liang Zheng's homework, or the road he led, originally every time he came here, the two of them were eating and chatting and not comfortable, but it was only a few days later, and he came again to take him, and now he saw Liang Zheng looking at himself steadily, and he didn't feel very embarrassed.
"Ahem." Liu Ang coughed a few times in disguise, "Childe, Master Wu asked me to tell you that no matter how much you did anything wrong before, he had a way to protect you." But this time is different, this time it caused a lot of lives...... It's too big, and he can only do it impartially. Also said...... He also said......"
"Say what?" Liang Zheng's eyes jumped.
"If you really did this, hurry up and pack some things and run for your life, he asked me to treat it as if I didn't hold it......"
"You thank Uncle Shi for your kindness for me." Liang Zheng smiled coldly, "But it's a pity that I, Liang Zheng, am not afraid of things, and I don't want to have to live in hiding in Tibet for the rest of my life." Besides, I still want to see who ate the bear's heart and leopard gall, and dared to falsely accuse me, if I can't sue him, I will sue him for blackmail! Let's go, go to the yamen! ”
