Chapter 187: Lang's Heart Is Like Iron (II)
Liu Kanzhi was stunned, then shook his head and said:
"What did Shimei say? When did I treat you or the sixth sister as a pawn, this is simply nonsense. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info think about it, the sixth sister's illness happened suddenly, how could the little brother count this layer into it? However, Shimei also knows that Jiangning's armaments are slack, and the guards are unusable. It is not easy to find troops that can fight, only those martial arts lords who have been in government for a long time, have a deep relationship with the army, and can still pull some people who can fight. More importantly, the price of rice, many grain stores in Jiangning City are mostly the industries of the Wei State Mansion, and if you want to stabilize the price of grain, the attitude of the Xu family is very important. This time, because the sixth sister is here, in order to protect her safety, Wei Guogong has made some strength, borrowed some soldiers who can really fight, and promised not to raise the price of rice, I made a deal with him, and after a period of time, the sixth sister will be moved to the courtyard outside the Xu family. We do negotiate with each other, but it is always for the sake of the overall situation, not for personal gain, and it makes no sense to say that there are many chess pieces. ”
"As for safety, the sixth sister is the daughter of the Duke of Wei, no matter how lawless the princesses are, they don't dare to disadvantage her. What's more, I have already mobilized people to take over, and it has only been three or two days before and after, so what can happen to me? ”
"Three or two days, only three or two days? Brother Liu said this so lightly. ”
For the first time, the girl's tone had a sneer, which was the first time in her career with Liu Kanzhi. He couldn't figure out why the girl suddenly became angry, obviously she was at fault, but she turned her face and spoke to herself in this tone. Fan Jin can understand Zhang's attitude: the future life mode of the two has been staged in advance.
"I just talked to Sixth Sister, do you know what has become of her? I haven't seen her for three or two days, and she seems to have been haggard for ten years. Such a poor girl, now it is even more sad to watch. She was already timid and heavy-minded, and she was infected with a disease like smallpox, so she thought even more. She is not afraid of death, but she is afraid of becoming ugly, afraid that her sweetheart will no longer like her. These emotions tormented her and kept her at peace. If you're at home with someone, it's better. But what are the conditions here? The room was like a pig's nest, and there were even rats running around in the room. Rats! When did the sixth sister live in a house with rats, and when did she smell musty? ”
"Shimei, there is one thing to say, the county yamen will definitely not dare to treat her harshly, and the best room has been arranged. The problem is this condition......"
"The best room, like this?" Zhang looked around and sneered again, "Such a house is also inhabited by people?" ”
"Shimei, I know you are blaming me, blaming me for telling my father about the sixth sister's smallpox, blaming me for sending her here. No matter how good it is, it can't be compared with the Guogong Mansion, and no matter how hard the people here serve, they can't compare to the environment of the Guogong Mansion, which I admit. But little sister, you are a very reasonable person, you don't need me to teach you the sentence that the prince is guilty of the same crime as the people, right? What is the situation in Jiangning now? Smallpox! ”
Liu Kanzhi has always been elegant, behaves like a gentleman, and is kind to others. But now, I'm getting excited. "Little sister, you haven't read those files, and you don't know how serious the situation is. In Jiangning alone, there are thousands of smallpox patients, and this is still known to the yamen, and it is not known how many there are. More than seventy percent of them died. You see, the people here may be miserable, but at least they are still alive, and the real pity is the people who died. The yamen had no choice, no one could control the epidemic, and the only way was to minimize the damage of the plague. There is no way to divide them into living together, and it is better to die one than to die in the city. The sixth sister is delicate and expensive, but to put it mildly, if she has smallpox, she is fate, and when the king of Hades hooks her soul, will she still sell face to Wei Guogong? ”
"If I don't speak, who can guarantee that her illness will not be passed on to others, if it spreads, the first unlucky one will be the Guogong Mansion! Then there is the entire Jiangning City. ”
"Where did she do so much damage alone, Brother Liu shouldn't be alarmist." The girl's face became more and more pale, and the temperature in the room was very high, but her tone was as cold as ice ballast. In the past, she had quarrels with Liu Kanzhi, but it was the first time that she had such an indifferent attitude.
Liu Kanzhi was not intimidated by her attitude, and still fought with reason. "Jiangning is a well-known place with many rich businessmen and officials, and there are a lot of nobles here, so things are also the most difficult to do. The county orders of Jiangning and Shangyuan counties are similar to the county orders of Jingli University and Wan counties, nominally called Bailihou, but in fact, even those who set up stalls on the street may not be in charge. If you don't pay attention, you don't dare to act rashly when you encounter a relationship with a big person. If you do too much and make a lot of mistakes, you can only do nothing in the end. In peacetime, the most that can be said to be incompetent is that this kind of person is incompetent, but now it is a plague and a natural disaster, and if it continues like this, it will harm people. ”
"What kind of virtue those big gentry are on weekdays, I won't say, you know it in your own heart. What a bastard thing that Xu Weizhi took you to Qinhuai to make trouble has also spread in Jiangning City. Those people usually don't obey the law and discipline and act wantonly, we have no choice but to turn a blind eye to him, which is also a helpless thing, I can understand it. But not right now. Now it is a plague, and it is going to die. At this time, whoever dares to jump out and talk about human feelings, friendships, relationships, and face, relying on his identity to disobey the law and discipline, and let his own children not be constrained, is to joke with the lives of the whole city, and it will never be tolerated. ”
"Since smallpox, the city has implemented a relocation order, no matter whose children are infected with smallpox, they must move to live in Huazhuang. This is a matter agreed upon by the six departments of Jiangning, the governor of Yingtian, the lieutenant officials of the garrison, and the civil and military officials of Yingtianfu, Jiang, and Shang counties, and there is no easier way. The two lifters and five talents in the city all lived in the flower village because of smallpox, and one of them had just won the middle school and was about to enter Beijing to catch the exam, but he also had to live in it. The grandson of Uncle Zhao of the Criminal Department is only two years old this year, and he wants to live in Huazhuang? I couldn't find a nurse who had smallpox in the city for a while, and I was waiting to die when I lived in the flower village, and Uncle Zhao didn't ask anyone to talk about it, nor did he think about finding a way, so he took the initiative to let his grandson go in. Could it be that only the children of Wei Guogong are human beings in the world, and the children of other people are not human beings? Everyone was born to her father, why should she be special? ”
Liu Kanzhi's emotions were a little excited, his face was slightly red, and he coughed again. Zhang didn't say a word, his two phoenix eyes stared at Liu Kanzhi's face, and his teeth bit his lower lip.
"So...... You betrayed your sixth sister for all of this...... Betray...... I? Do you know why my message is only for you and not for anyone else? ”
"You know, you want me to bend the law for personal gain and quietly suppress this matter so that everyone doesn't know. I tell you, it can't be! Such a big matter will be exposed sooner or later, if Wei Guogong's daughter can not be used in Huazhuang, then others can also not be used. Wei Guogong brand is hard, there are many nobles in the city, dignitaries and wealthy businessmen, as long as you want to find a relationship, someone can always find a relationship, so isn't this ban still unmaintainable? Wei Guogong's daughter lived in Huazhuang, and only then did some people believe the words of the Yamen, and the people knew that the Yamen was really moving this time. Someone will send it over in the next two days......"
"Coming back?" Fan Jin interjected: "Brother Liu, look at the situation here......"
Liu Kanzhi waved his hand, "I can think of the situation here." When setting up the flower village, because of the lack of time and manpower, there can only be who uses whom. There are so many men and women, and the environment here is bad, so it's good for someone to come, and there is no choice. This time, the younger brother was selected from Yingtian Mansion to catch fast, and they are all honest and responsible people, and they will not behave like Liu Sanwu. Besides, they all had smallpox, and it would not necessarily be a bad thing to find a woman here who was sympathetic to the same disease. Just in case, I'll stay near Zhuangzi first to see who dares to mess around? Eat a trench, grow a wisdom, and there will be no similar things in this village in the future. ”
The girl looked at Liu Kanzhi, "In the future?" So what does Brother Liu think of that crazy woman? You didn't see how many women were biting those men like crazy, beating them and pinching them, eager to eat them. Do you think it's useful to tell them what you said? ”
"It's the same with men, it's always a plague, it's not easy to survive, why don't you care so much." Liu Kanzhi shook his head and said, "Shimei has not been in the city these days, and I don't know the situation in the city. Aren't those homeless people miserable? A good person can walk a few steps and fall, and he will never get up again. Isn't it miserable for a big girl to be able to sell herself for dry food? The power of the yamen is only so great, we can't save so many people, and we can't manage so many things. Every year someone dies, every year someone suffers. Liu Sanwu and these people are likely to have had, but it cannot be denied that they do have merit. ”
"Meritorious?"
"Of course, if they hadn't been wicked in the flower village, these people wouldn't know where to go, and the plague would have been bigger than it is now. There are also the outcasts and robbers in the neighborhood, if they come in and take away the women, the fate of those women will be even worse. I don't want to exonerate Liu Sanwu, I just want Shimei and Brother Fan to understand that they are also human beings, and they also have seven emotions and six desires, and it is inevitable that they can't control themselves for a while, this matter is ...... It is not advisable to publicize it too much. ”
The girl said coldly: "Don't bother Brother Liu, my little sister understands this." The matter here involves the women's name festival, if you say it, I don't know how many innocent women want to hang the beam and throw themselves into the well, and I don't know how many families want to be ruined. In order to protect them, the little sister can only try to suppress this matter, Brother Liu has no last resort, and he knows that the little sister has no other choice. ”
Liu Kanzhi: "Sister Shimei, rest assured, Liu Sanwu and none of them will escape the sanction of Wang Fa, I can pack the ticket now, they are the lightest and the lightest is also a full army." But the common people can't tell who is good and who is bad, they only know that they have done evil, and then they will record the accounts to the government. If this kind of news is allowed to spread among the people, where will the face of the yamen go? The yamen has no face in the hearts of the people, and no one wants to listen to the order, is it good or bad for the people in the long run? What are the benefits for the imperial court? They will naturally be punished by the king's law, but this flower village must be kept. ”
The corners of the girl's mouth twitched, revealing a slight sneer. "Brother Liu has the world in his heart, and the little sister is willing to bow down."
"Brother Fool knows, you can't turn this corner for a while, but my sister is a smart person, and she will be able to figure out the importance of this in a few days. No matter how pitiful Miss Six is, she can't pity those roadside starvation, and she can't pity the daughters of poor families, at least she doesn't have to starve here, and there are people to serve. Be content. In fact, it's not just her, it's just us. You and I were both born in a family of eunuchs, and since we were children, we have been slaves and maids with no shortage of food and clothing, and we have everything we want, imperceptibly, thinking that all this is taken for granted and should be enjoyed. For my generation, piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, wine and self-entertainment are all in life. As long as you don't do bad things and don't do evil, you can say with a clear conscience that I didn't hurt anyone. But since we arrived in Jiangning, when we were called by my father to assist in office work, my little brother personally saw children dying of cold and starvation on the streets, and weak girls who forgot their shame in order to survive, and knew that our past thinking was very wrong. ”
"Compared to this world, compared to the people of Li thousands of years ago, you and I are too small, and our own joys, sorrows, joys and sorrows, compared to the world, are too insignificant. To put it mildly, the so-called sorrow of you and me in the past is just a sad spring and autumn after a full day of food. When we are arguing over a poem and winning or losing a game of chess, most people in the world are desperate for how to survive. We are blessed to be born in a rich family, so we should cherish the blessing even more. For the people in the world, it is more important to exert more strength and help more people than to maintain the friendship of one or two people, or to care about the feelings of one or two people. Shimei is known as a woman's husband, as long as you think about it, it is not difficult to understand whether what the younger brother said is right or wrong. ”
The girl looked at Liu Kanzhi, and there was an extra layer of mist in her eyes. The teeth were clenched too hard, and the blood was already pouring out, but the girl was still unconscious. Just looked at him and asked:
"Brother Liu, my little sister has been sick in bed these days, but I don't know that Brother Liu has done so many big things, which makes Brother Liu laugh. I thought that Brother Liu was ...... Consult medical books for my little sister ......"
"I've read medical books and tried to find a recipe for smallpox, but it didn't work out. Several methods are not used, and now it seems that no one has a good way but to do it according to the current method. Shimei's sick and foolish brother heard about it, and also asked people to send ginseng over. The little brother believes that Langzhong in Jiangning City will definitely be able to cure Shimei. No matter how useless they are, a wind chill is always healed. ”
"I see?"
The girl suddenly showed a miserable smile, took out a handkerchief and gently dipped the blood beads from her lips, and got up to salute. "It seems that I really blamed my brother, my brother has the world in his heart, and my little sister is a little unreasonable."
"You and I don't have to say such kind words, you just have to figure it out. It's peaceful in the area at the moment, but when you want to arrest someone later, there will definitely be a fight, so you should go home early to avoid being frightened. I'll arrange for someone to send you back......"
The girl shook her head and turned her head to look at Fan Jin: "Brother Fan, you don't have to do anything, please send your little sister back to the city." In the past few days, Brother Liu has been busy treating Jiang Ning's father, and Brother Fan has been busy treating his little sister's illness. This Jiang Ning is handed over to Brother Liu, and Brother Fan is responsible for the safety of the little sister, so don't bother Brother Liu."
