Chapter 104: The Meaning of the Drunkard

Behind the city gate, a few figures walked out, the leader was white and fat, green robe and black gauze hat, and his face was full of smiles, as he ran, even if there were many robes, he could still see the circle of swaying fat. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Oh, my lord, you are here, Xia Guan Chen Mogu has seen my lord!"

The smile became more and more, and the eyes that were originally small were completely pursed and only a thin slit remained, perhaps because of the running just now, Chen Mogu's breath was a little messy, and a few drops of sweat appeared on his forehead.

With the previous rejection of hundreds of homeless people from the city, Liu Xi did not have the slightest good impression of this Yangqucheng County Order, but because he had just arrived, he was not allowed to show it on his face, so he arched his hand and said, "This official is ordered to come, and it is inevitable to work with Lord Chen, and I hope Lord Chen will take care of him." ”

"The lord laughed, the saint was sympathetic to all the people and sent the lord to the north to relieve the disaster, and the lower officials naturally obeyed the dispatch."

Chen Mogu shook his hand again and again and said, and later pointed to the people and introduced them to him one by one, "My lord, this is Cheng of Yangqucheng County, Ma Pang." ”

"This is the main book, Xiao Yuan."

"This is the county lieutenant, Qiu Qian."

After both sides saluted, Chen Mogu didn't look at the person in silk cloth who was still lying on the other side and was shot to death by Liu Xi, nor did he say a word to the homeless people who looked at them, so he led Liu Xi straight to the city, saying that he wanted to catch the wind and wash the dust with him.

Seeing that Chen Mogu left with Liu Xi, the burly man on that side was in a hurry, his face flushed, and he stomped his feet and trotted in front of Liu Xi, "Lord Qincha ......"

As soon as he opened his mouth, Chen Mogu's face immediately turned cold, and he stared at the round mung bean's small eyes, "Guo Wei, you want to talk nonsense without concealing it, offending the minister, see if this official doesn't cut off your head!" ”

As he spoke, Chen Mogu flicked the wide sleeves of his official robe, and Qiu Qian, the county lieutenant behind him, snorted heavily, beckoned to the city, and then saw a team of soldiers running out of the city, raising the spear in his hand, and facing the burly Guo Wei.

These seem to be done in one go, looking at the soldiers on the left and right, Chen Mogu's eyes narrowed into a slit again, and the smile on his lips hung out again, no longer looking at Guo Wei, and arched his hand with Liu Xi again, with a little flattery in his words, "My lord, it is windy outside the city, it is better to go into the city with the lower officials to rest." ”

Shaking his head, Liu Xi turned to look at the hundreds of homeless people, and then bent down towards the southeast and saluted, "Lord Chen, the emperor's grace is mighty, that's why I sent this official to disaster relief, at this moment, the people in front of me who are not clothed and hungry are all the people of my Tang Dynasty, how can this official turn a blind eye and follow Lord Chen into the city to live in the deep ya, and eat that rice fat ointment?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Chen Mogu's face immediately changed, "Lord Qincha's words really made the lower officials panic in their hearts, the northern Xinjiang was affected by the cold disaster, and the lower officials and their colleagues couldn't bear it, and they were eager to break one hour into two hours to use, but the situation was far beyond our imagination, and they were busy every day." Some time ago, Yangqu City also let them enter, but then thefts followed, and there was no other way, so the lower officials could only close the door and refuse it. ”

There seems to be some truth in these words, although the displaced people are miserable, but there are many people among them, and they will inevitably not cause trouble if they rush into Yangqu City.

Frowning, Liu Xi turned to look at the homeless people standing not far away, some of the faces in the crowd were wrinkled like dead vines and old trees, and some of them were dark yellow and couldn't see half of the blood, they were all looking at him at the moment, their eyes were full of expectation.

"Childe, help them......"

Beside him, Wu Shuang'er's big eyes were shining, and he gently pulled Liu Xi's sleeve and pleaded in a low voice.

The green silk hanging down the cheeks of the little girl stroked, Liu Xi nodded with her, and then turned his head to Chen Mogu and said, "Lord Chen, after all, the people who steal chickens and dogs are a small number of people, and they can't be used by a generation, otherwise it will chill the hearts of the people in the world." ”

As he spoke, Liu Xi pointed to the homeless people behind him and said, "Let them go into the city, and they can also have a place to live, you and I can work hard." Besides, if we are officials, we want the people to do things, if we are officials and do not make decisions for the people, what does this official mean, it is better to go home and cultivate the fields. ”

"Lord-sama Chincha will see it!"

Liu Xi's words caused another sensation among the displaced people, and many people burst into tears again, shouting that they had met Lord Qingtian, and some people wiped their tears and said in a hurry, "My lord, my sister will marry in Yangqu City, and entering the city will definitely not cause you any trouble." ”

"Adult, villain is honest and never does anything to rob or steal."

"My lord, I have done everything to carry water and chop wood, and when I enter the county, I will find a job to make a living, and I will definitely not cause trouble to my lord."

……

Hearing these words, a trace of gloom flashed on Chen Mogu's fat face, and he took the opportunity to bow his head to hide it again, and Liu Xi smiled and said, "My lord, I can't reach the lower officials, so I will withdraw the soldiers and let the people go into the city." ”

Chen Mogu waved his hand, and the soldiers surrounding Guo Wei retreated, seeing this situation, the homeless people couldn't help cheering, their faces were full of enthusiasm, like a bumper harvest of grain in the field, and it was like the Lantern Festival at the beginning of the year, which was very lively.

"Your Excellency, shall we go into the city?"

Chen Mogu said, made a gesture of please, and asked Liu Xi to enter the city with him again.

How do you know that Liu Xi didn't move again, but turned around and said to the wanderers, "Everyone, the city gate is wide open, why don't you enter the city quickly?" ”

At this point, the displaced people were stunned, not to mention that Liu Xi, as a member of the imperial court, was extremely expensive, even if Chen Mogu was a high-ranking official for them in Yangqucheng County, how could he walk ahead of them?

"Haha, I finally have a place to fill my stomach, grandma, I haven't drunk for more than a month, and I'm feeling uncomfortable!"

The silence of the cold wind was broken by hearty laughter, and after a while, Guo Wei was seen striding first towards the city. With him as the first person, the rest of the homeless people looked at each other, although they were jealous in their hearts, but they were really uncomfortable with hunger, and after hesitating for a moment, several brave young men followed.

In this way, the homeless people walked to the city one after another, and when they passed by Liu Xi's side, they would bow down and say thank you, their voices were choked, with joy and gratitude from the bottom of their lungs, and to Chen Mogu and the others were cowardly to say thank you, and the more timid people bowed their heads and thanked Liu Xi, and then lowered their heads and walked away.

Chen Mogu still had a flattering smile on his face, but the hand that had previously stroked the goat's whiskers under his chin, which was extremely incommensurate with his white fat face, was retracted into the wide cuffs. Seeing him like this, Ma Pang, the county man on the side, and Bo Xiaoyuan, the lord, changed their looks, and the corners of their mouths grinned.

"My lord, the people have already entered the city, are you willing to follow the officials now?"

Chen Mogu smiled, looked up at the sky, and said again, "The time has already passed noon, adults must be very tired all the way, Xia Guan set up a thin wine in the restaurant in the city, how about I wait to go here?" ”

"Then there's Lord Lao Chen."

This time, Liu Xi did not refuse, Chen Mogu gave him face, opened the city gate to let the displaced people enter, Liu Xi naturally couldn't slap him in the face in public, if he wanted to do a good job of disaster relief as soon as possible, it was better to make friends with this snake for the time being.

Liu Xi nodded, Chen Mogu smiled and said yes, and as soon as he arrived at the city gate, he saw several sedan chairs carried over, with yellow rosewood as a frame, cloud silk brocade as a curtain, and tassels with red ropes and silver hanging around.

The cold wind blew, the tassels danced, and a few small copper bells rang.

This kind of sedan chair is nothing more than the court book.

"Your Excellency, please ......"

When Liu Xi sighed, Chen Mogu pointed to a soft sedan chair and said to him.

After making some humility, Liu Xi sat in a soft sedan chair, while Lin Yi and the others said that they were tired, and politely refused the post station arranged by Chen Mogu, and everyone went to the inn to stay on their own.

The soft sedan chair swayed slightly, opened the curtain of the window beside him, and the interior of Yangqu City was exposed in front of Liu Xi's eyes.

The road is narrow, the masonry is uneven, and the houses on both sides are low and messy, and it takes a long time to see a restaurant and teahouse, which is also deserted.

On the side of the road, the displaced people who went to the city first were begging everywhere for a bite of food, seeing this, Liu Xi couldn't help but sigh, Yangqu City is so barren, disaster relief can be said to be a long way to go,

When he sighed, Liu Xi was about to put down the curtain, but he had no intention of looking back and seeing a small guy walking back and forth between the several sedan chairs behind him, and he couldn't help sneering, it seemed that this meal was not restless.
