Chapter 186: Snatching Money
From Ye Dehou's mouth, I learned that the current Eastern Shenzhou is very chaotic, and the people of the Alliance Army and Tiance Mansion have been fighting, which is a hardship for the people below, earning very little money, but having to pay more, it is simply not for people to live.
"This group of immortals is fighting, and it is not us ordinary people who suffer, it is really hateful. Ye Rourou said the current situation, the people below don't know how to live, not only give money and food but also give some people and horses, how can they survive.
"Forget it, it's not for us to call the shots, all we have to do is to be able to live. Ye Dehou said helplessly, although he wanted to give money, but Ye Dehou had no choice, who made the strength of the alliance army strong.
"But not only do you have no money, but you also ask us for money, where does this make sense, you have an army and you won't escort it. Ye Xian said very unhappily.
"It's a big deal, I'll tell the city lord in person, this business will not be accepted. Ye Dehou said, "As for the army, now the Tiance Mansion and the alliance have been fighting against each other, and there are also small battles between the countries on both sides, if you send an army, it will be unfavorable to Licheng, you must know that the south is the Yue country, and from time to time it is invaded, the city lord will not send an army to escort it at all." ”
"Uncle, Dad, the city lord has given an order. A handsome-looking young man hurried in with an official document in his hand, with a trace of disdain and disgust in his eyes when he saw Leng Feng.
Ye Dehou saw that it was really the official document of the Licheng City Lord's Mansion, and when he opened the official document, Ye Dehou frowned.
"Big brother, what's the matter?" Ye Xian asked when he saw his eldest brother frowning.
Ye Dehou handed the document in his hand to Ye Xian, Ye Xian was very angry after taking a look, and said angrily: "This Han Xingsheng is really a bastard, isn't this clearly making us lose money? ”
"No way, Han Xingsheng is the city lord, we can only obey, this is a mandatory arrangement, if you refuse, you will be punished according to the law, notify me to go to the city lord's mansion tomorrow morning to pick up the goods, and start preparing to send the dart to the imperial capital in the afternoon." Ye Dehou can't help it, if he really doesn't want to do it, then the consequences will definitely be dealt with in accordance with the law, and he would rather spend some money than let the entire Chang'an Dart Bureau be affected.
"Father, let me be with Brother Tiance this time. Ye Rourou saw that she had a chance, and it happened that Leng Feng also wanted to dart, so she proposed to be together, but Ye Dehou refused.
"This is for the Alliance, just let your uncle go, besides, this young man's injury is not yet healed, rest for a few more days. Ye Dehou refused to let Ye Rourou and Leng Feng participate, in fact, he was still wary of Leng Feng, although Leng Feng's strength was very strong, but Leng Feng's identity was not known, this was something that the alliance needed, Ye Dehou did not guarantee whether Leng Feng had ulterior motives, or pretended to have amnesia.
"Oh!" Ye Rourou was a little disappointed, thinking that she would be able to go out to play this time, but her father disagreed.
"This young man has been here for a few days and has been healing, Rourou, you can take this young man around when you have time. Ye Dehou looked at Leng Feng and said, "I hope you forgive me for any inconsiderate greetings." ”
"It's okay, as long as you're with Rourou. Leng Feng said with a smile on his face, for Leng Feng now, as long as he can be with Ye Rourou every day, it doesn't matter what else Leng Feng has.
"Hehe! After a while, I will help you find someone from Tiance Academy, after all, it is not a long-term solution here, your family will be worried, I still have things to do, you can play casually, all the expenses are mine." Ye Dehou smiled awkwardly but politely, he was always at ease with Leng Feng, after all, he didn't know or know, but now Leng Feng didn't do anything out of the ordinary, so it didn't matter.
"Then let's go out and play first. Ye Rourou took Leng Feng's hand and left.
Looking at the two people who left, Ye Jun felt very uncomfortable, looked at Ye Dehou and said, "Uncle, you believe this person so much?"
Ye Dehou said: "I don't believe it either, but I don't know the identity of this person now, so this time I sent your father to the imperial capital to investigate this matter, I believe that no one will rob without opening their eyes on the road this time, after all, it is something of the alliance." ”
"But this is not a way, the people of the alliance and Tiance Mansion don't know how long they will fight, and they don't know how many resources they need, if we send it every time, we won't be able to earn a penny, and we will have to donate money, hey! If this goes on like this, our entire Chang'an Dart Bureau will be completely bankrupt." Ye Xian said worriedly, if you want a thousand today, maybe it will be two thousand tomorrow, who can stand it.
"So this time I'm going to talk to Han Xingsheng, I can't do this, if I continue, I can only let all the dart games in Licheng take turns to be responsible. Ye Dehou said.
Although she was a little disappointed that she couldn't go out to play this time, being able to take Leng Feng out to go shopping together also made Ye Rourou a little excited, and the mood of shopping was different after having the company of the opposite sex.
Along the way, Ye Rourou was bouncing around like a little rabbit, very cheerful, looking east and west, although she didn't buy anything, she was also very happy.
"Brother Tiance, do you look good?" Ye Rourou picked up a flower hairpin and put it on her head, looking at Leng Feng with a smile.
Leng Feng looked at Ye Rourou with a foolish smile, nodded and said, "It's very good-looking, Rourou is really good-looking." ”
"Brother Tiance said it looked good, so he bought it. As soon as Ye Rourou heard Leng Feng say that it was good-looking, she was about to take the money, but at this time, a child quietly came to Ye Rourou's side, and took advantage of Ye Rourou's time to take out the money.
"Brother Tiance, chase it, don't look at me!" Ye Rourou hurriedly shouted at Leng Feng, Leng Feng just looked at himself and didn't react at all, and his money was snatched away by the child.
"Okay!" Leng Feng and Ye Rourou hurriedly chased after them, and I have to say that the speed of this child is really fast, and he disappeared into the crowd in the blink of an eye, but this is not difficult for Leng Feng at all, after feeling it, he took Ye Rourou's hand and ran up, and chased after the child in the blink of an eye.
The whole time Ye Rourou reacted, she only felt a flower in front of her, and the next second she left the street and came to a remote corner, and the child who snatched his money bag looked panicked after seeing the two of them, and his body trembled and retreated, Ye Rourou looked at Leng Feng with a shocked face, I didn't expect that my brother Tiance was so strong and so fast.
"Boy, you dare to rob your aunt and grandmother's money, do you know how to write dead words. Ye Rourou looked at the trembling child, with her hands on her hips, looking at the child very fiercely.
Seeing that Ye Rourou was so fierce, the child didn't dare to say a word in fright, just shook his head.
"Don't speak, don't be dumb, tell you, if you rob my money bag today, I will teach you a good lesson. Ye Rourou looked at the child with an arrogant face, pretending to be about to make a move, and the frightened child kept retreating.
"Yau Yau, look. Leng Feng grabbed Ye Rourou and pointed to the left and said.
Ye Rourou turned her head and looked, there was actually a group of people named Huazi on the left, there were more than 200 people, everyone was in tatters, and even some of them were not covered by clothes, not a single decent dress, most of them were old, weak, sick and disabled, women and children, there were few middle-aged men, some were also disabled, everyone was holding a broken bowl in their hands and looked at Leng Feng and Ye Rourou with blank eyes, some children had yellow muscles and thin muscles because they had not eaten for a long time. On the right, there are also hundreds of people named Hanako, who are dressed in decent yellow muscles, holding broken bowls in their hands, and sleeping on reed mats.
"When did there be so many beggars in Licheng?" Ye Rourou looked at these beggars, although Licheng is not a first-tier city, but it is also quite good, there are beggars, but there are not so many at all, I don't know where they came from.
Everyone saw that Ye Rourou and Leng Feng had no intention of asking for money, so they sat honestly in place.
There was a commotion in the crowd, it turned out to be a thin woman who died and still held a child in her arms, and the child also left quietly in her mother's arms because she had not eaten for a long time.
Several elderly people carried the mother and son to the corner with some difficulty, and after putting them there, they didn't even take out the shabby reed mats that were covered for the mother and son, and let the mother and son corpses in public.
Seeing this scene, Ye Rourou felt a little heartache, she actually saw the helplessness and indifference of these people with her own eyes, as the so-called death is great, these people treat the dead with no respect at all.
But Ye Rourou didn't know at all, it was not that these people were indifferent and ruthless, but that their own conditions were not allowed, they had no food or clothing, they were hungry during the day and cold at night, who could take care of the mother and son, they were dead anyway, and the shabby reed mat was still for the living.
An old woman came to the child, looked at the money bag in the child's hand, and said weakly, "Didn't you tell you not to steal?
"But grandma, you haven't eaten for two days, I want to steal something for you to eat, I don't want to watch grandma you starve to death like grandpa and mother, I only have you as a relative. The child lowered his head and said weakly.
Hearing the child's words, Ye Rourou couldn't help but shed tears, she didn't expect that this child was actually to let her grandmother eat, it is not difficult to hear from this sentence that the child only has such a relative alive, and stealing money is also a last resort.
The old woman stretched out her hand and touched the child's face, and said, "Grandma knows that you are for my good, and you can't steal even if you starve to death, have you forgotten our ancestral teachings?"
The child nodded, came to Ye Rourou's side and handed the money bag to Ye Rourou, and said, "I'm sorry, I'll give it back to you." ”
The child's eyes were full of reluctance, although the money was not much, but as long as he bought something, he could let his grandmother continue to live, but his grandmother said that he couldn't steal it, so he had to return it.
