Chapter 109: Refugees (1)
At the critical moment, Bai Suzhen stopped Xiaoqing, Xiaoqing angrily shook off Bai Suzhen's hand, and watched Fahai be thrown to the ground by the air wave in embarrassment, but the silver rolling down from his sleeve attracted Xiaoqing's attention. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The imprint on it attracted Xiaoqing's attention, and he reached out to pick it up, in addition to the three words 'Qiantang County' engraved on the silver ingot, there was also a small word 'official' in the upper left corner.
Xiao Qing didn't say anything, but saw that the door of the confinement room was pushed open, Zhengyuan walked in, watched Fahai stand up embarrassed, glanced at the silver in Xiao Qing's hand again, his pupils shrank, and he saluted Bai Suzhen and Xiao Qing, "Two girls, Lao Wei has something to discuss with Fahai, Buddhism is pure, and please leave the two girls." ”
Since Zhengyuan had already said so, Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing glanced at each other and walked out of the confinement room.
was looking at Fahai condescendingly, "Fahai, the matter of Guanyin, I hope you can have a reasonable explanation." ”
――――
Xiaoqing followed Bai Suzhen and walked without saying a word, and now she didn't dare to mess with Bai Suzhen at all.
After a few alleys, Bai Suzhen came to a small land temple, patted the land temple twice, and heard a voice say, "What is the white lady's name?" ”
"Land, I'm going to help you with something."
"Mother, please speak."
"I want to know where Xu Xian's soul is?"
"Xu Xian? Isn't Xu Xian by Niangniang's side? ”
Bai Suzhen's face was expressionless, "He doesn't look like Xu Xian anymore, his temperament has changed drastically, like a different person." ”
"White Lady, it takes time to explore the soul, and there are many reasons for the great change in temperament, not necessarily the soul is different."
"Anyway, you can help me keep an eye on it."
"Okay, let's go check it out."
The voice of the land disappeared, and Xiaoqing hesitated for a moment before saying, "Sister...... You see that the land has been said, and the great change in temperament may not be ......" Xiaoqing pretended to be surprised and slapped his palm, "I heard the bearded man say that Xu Xian once knocked his head ......"
Before Xiaoqing finished speaking, he heard a commotion coming from not far away, the land temple was relatively remote, almost out of the range of Qiantang County, and there was such a loud noise in the sparsely populated area, which caused Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing to subconsciously follow the sound and go over to investigate.
I saw that in the open area ahead, two people were facing each other, one side was the catcher and the official led by Li Gongfu, and the other side was dozens of ragged people.
Bai Suzhen looked at these people carefully, her face was yellow, she was very tired, and it seemed that she hadn't rested or eaten for a long time.
"Sister, has there been a natural disaster in Qiantang County recently?"
Bai Suzhen shook her head, I haven't heard of this, where did these refugees come from?
Li Gongfu was also thinking about this problem, he received a report from the people, saying that a group of refugees came from outside, and it seemed that they also had dangerous weapons with them, and reported to the county Cheng, and when the county Cheng heard that it was a refugee, he immediately ordered Li Gongfu to drive these people out, so Li Gongfu hurriedly gathered people and rushed over.
The people who reported the case were right, when Li Gongfu led people to drive them outside Qiantang County, these people did have small weapons such as knives in their hands, which made Li Gongfu even more determined to drive them out, which was too dangerous.
However, there were a large number of refugees, and although they retreated to the edge of Qiantang County under the threat of Li Gongfu and others, they refused to leave Qiantang County no matter what, and they confronted Li Gongfu.
Li Gongfu looked at his side, except for a few quick sabers, the rest were sticks, and most of the weapons in the hands of those refugees were sharp weapons such as knives, wiped his sweat, and while comforting this group of refugees who were already a little irritable, he sent someone to Xu Xian for help.
Over there, Xu Xian received Li Gongfu's request for help, and seeing that Qing Kite was sweating and anxious, it didn't look like a joke, so he also gathered people and horses, and followed Qing Kite with forty or fifty brocade guards.
Li Gongfu heard the sound of horses' hooves, and when he turned around, he saw the young man in brocade clothes on the horse, and breathed a sigh of relief, Xu Xian came to have a solution.
Seeing Xu Xian coming, Bai Suzhen stretched out her hand to pull Xiaoqing to a dark place, quietly watching the development of the situation.
Xu Xian's brows furrowed as soon as he saw this formation, and when he got off the horse, he shouted, "Gongfu Li, they didn't commit any crimes?!" Why are you holding a knife at each other?! ”
Although the refugees were angry, they were not stupid, and when they saw that Xu Xian was a big official, they did not refute it, and let Xu Xian get close to them.
Xu Xian looked at the front row of a five or six-year-old boy, looking at his appearance, I don't know how Xu Xian remembered the child who died in the hands of the water bandits in Longtan County, his heart softened, so he squatted down, wiped the stains on the boy's face with his sleeve, rubbed the boy's little brain, and got up and asked the woman holding the boy's hand.
"Are you Ming people? How did it come to be like this? ”
The woman hesitated for a moment before she said, "If you go back to your lordship, we are all Ming people, and the Japanese robbed our village a few days ago, and we really had no choice but to escape." ”
"The counties along the way refuse to take us in, and we are also desperate, please don't drive us away." As she spoke, tears were about to fall, and she stretched out her hand behind her, and eight or nine snotty children came out. "We can hold on, but these kids ......"
Xu Xian looked at these children, his cheeks that should have been rosy were so burnt, he took a deep breath, yes, he remembered that in the Jiajing Dynasty, because of the ban on overseas trade, the problem was very serious, and this situation was not alleviated until the opening of the sea ban in Longqing......
Xu Xian's thinking was seen by the woman as a hesitation before refusing, so the woman knelt on the ground with a thud.
She is a strong woman, she has been rejected by various counties along the way, but she has never shed tears or knelt down, but today is different, these children are the only children left in the village, and they really can't hold on any longer.
The woman's kneeling set off a chain reaction, and the father or mother of the children, or the elders who had already grown white, knelt down with the children and kowtowed to Xu Xian.
"Your Excellency...... Please......"
"Adults, we can go, let the children stay......"
Xu Xian subconsciously took two steps back, his heart seemed to be split in half, and those also began to cry, they tried hard to wipe away the tears on the faces of their relatives, but they couldn't wipe the tears clean.
Xu Xian turned his head to look at Li Gongfu and pointed at these refugees, "Li Gongfu, your conscience has been eaten by dogs?!" ”
