Dai Li hurriedly sat on the bamboo basket and walked down, his steps were hurried, Liu Yanzhen looked at his back as he left in a hurry, a little worried. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Yang Lian pointed to Dai Li's back and said, "This person is definitely not the leader of the people. ”

"How so?" Liu Zheng frowned, his hostility towards Yang Lian had not diminished, he always felt that Yang Lian was here to harm him, and he always wanted to get rid of him quickly.

Yang Lian glanced at Liu Yanzhen, did not answer Liu Zheng, but asked Liu Yanzhen, "Liu Tingshi, what do you think of this arrangement?" ”

Liu Yanzhen arched her hand and said: "Most of these refugees are from the Han Kingdom, and they will always feel inappropriate. took out grain to feed them in vain, I am afraid that in the future, they will go out of Chuzhou, but it will be a big thing. ”

Yang Lian stood with his hands in his hands, looking outside the city, and did not refute Liu Yanzhen's words, as the so-called Tao is different, Liu Yanzhen is a stubborn person, and similarly, Yang Lian is also a stubborn person, so he has no intention of convincing Liu Yanzhen. Besides, Haichu and Haichu will be the foundation of Yang Lian in the future, and they have nothing to do with Liu Yanzhen, so naturally they don't need his approval.

Dai Li went outside the city and talked to a few people, taking advantage of this time, Yang Lian was also thinking, he estimated that there were at least thousands of people outside the city, and those who did not come were even more. During this time, the people outside the city were still crying, and the momentum shook the sky.

Yang Lian pays special attention to Dai Li, but there is a vast sea of people, and it is obviously very difficult to find Dai Li's traces among so many people. Yang Lian pondered for a moment and said, "This Dai Li should not be the leader." Behind him, there are many people, whether they can convince the people or not depends on the main messenger behind the scenes. ”

Liu Zheng couldn't help but ask strangely: "Yang Jiedu, why is Dai Li not the leader?" ”

Yang Lian smiled and said, "If you are the leader, do you dare to take risks easily and enter the Longtan Tiger's Den alone?" ”

Liu Zheng shook his head and said very resolutely: "Isn't this a death?" ”

"Yes, since it is a death, there is no such need for this Dai Li, after all, his life is his own, and if he dares to come, he must act on orders." Yang Lian said, continuing to look for Dai Li's figure.

Liu Yanzhen's eyes narrowed into a slit, and she looked at Yang Lian carefully, Liu Yanzhen was old and refined, so she naturally thought that what Yang Lian said was reasonable, and Dai Li's words were neither humble nor arrogant, but at first glance, he was a person who had no opinions, and it was impossible to be the village head, let alone the leader of this group of people.

Liu Yanzhen was a little worried because she saw it, so when she said that, although Yang Lian did not object, she also thought that Dai Li was not the leader at this time, which was enough to prove that Yang Lian still had some vision.

Liu Zheng understood, nodded involuntarily, and asked a little nervously: "Yang Jiedu, since this is the case, what should I do?" ”

"Wait and see." Yang Lian replied simply with four words.

The group waited for half an hour, and there was a commotion outside the city, and Dai Li came out of the crowd, went straight to the city wall, and waved his hand again and again.

"Hang him up." Yang Lian said.

The soldiers on the city wall lowered the hanging basket and quickly hoisted Dai Li up.

"My lord, Dai Li is polite." Dai Li went up to the city wall and immediately ran to Yang Lian to salute.

Yang Lian waved his hand and said, "Okay, what is the result of your discussion?" ”

"Your Excellency is merciful, I contacted the owners of each village, and they are all grateful for your mercy and are willing to obey your dispatch." Dai Li said.

"Very good, in this case, at noon, you will retreat, five hundred steps away from the city, and each village will send ten strong men to carry the grain! Remember, when you receive the alms, you take with you the people's register, and from tomorrow onwards you will distribute the food according to the number of people on the list. Yang Lian commanded.

Dai Li was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "The adult commands, the villain must complete it." ”

"Okay, you can arrange it." Yang Lian said.

Dai Li went down the city wall, and Yang Lian saluted Liu Yanzhen and said, "Liu Tingshi, for the distribution of food, I hope that Liu Tingshi will send people to support." ”

"This is natural, Ben will select 500 strong men for Yang Jiedu to send." Liu Yanzhen said.

Yang Lian laughed and said, "With the help of Liu Tingshi's five hundred people, things will be much easier." However, the release of grain at noon was still not sloppy, the soldiers on the city wall still had to take strict precautions, and the people outside the city were not five hundred paces away, and the city gate must not be opened. ”

Liu Yanzhen arched his hand and said: "Yang Jiedu is thoughtful, Liu is not as good as Liu." ”

"There are still two hours left, and there is a lot of work! Be sure to release the grain at 10 o'clock in the middle of the day. Yang Lian said.

Liu Yanzhen nodded, and immediately asked Liu Zheng to go to the army to mobilize five hundred people and rush to the dock. Yang Lian, Lin Renzhao, Liu Yanzhen and others also rushed towards the dock.

Today's wharf can be described as lifeless, and there is no usual busy scene at all, but it is true, more than a dozen merchant ships of Yang Lian and his party can be anchored here, and the sudden appearance of merchant ships has made many people watch, I don't know why these merchant ships came?

Yang Lian, Liu Yanzhen, Lin Renzhao and his party rushed to the dock, and the people were frightened and avoided one after another. Yang Lian ordered to go down and let people move out 5,000 stone of grain first to help the victims. The soldiers quickly got busy.

When the onlookers heard Yang Lian's words, they suddenly became bold, approached Yang Lian, knelt on the ground with a "poof", and cried: "The adults are here for disaster relief, and the villain's family is already hungry, and I hope that the adults will be gracious and save my family, and the villain will be grateful, and he will be a cow and a horse in the next life, and repay the kindness of the adult." ”

"You don't want to die, and you don't see who's around him!" Someone recognized Liu Yanzhen and was immediately shocked.

The man looked up at Liu Yanzhen, and immediately stood up in shock, who is Liu Yanzhen, in this Chuzhou City, cruel and greedy, how dare the little people provoke him? I immediately regretted it, but it was too late.

Yang Lian was silent, glanced at Liu Yanzhen lightly, and took a few steps forward, the people thought that Yang Lian, who was tall and tall, was going to beat him, so he was so frightened that he retreated again and again, and he didn't pay attention for a while, and he tripped over the pit behind him, and he was about to fall to the ground.

Yang Lian hurriedly stepped forward, stretched out a strong big hand, and grabbed his arm, "Are you okay?" ”

The man settled down, and found that he was being pulled by Yang Lian, so he breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly stood firm, and said, "Thank you, thank you." ”

Yang Lian smiled: "No thanks." As he spoke, he raised his arm and clapped vigorously. The voice was crisp and attracted the attention of many people, and some people saw this scene just now, and immediately surrounded them, roughly estimating, there should be twenty or thirty people, and this is enough. Yang Lian's heart was idle.

"Folks, Chuzhou has suffered a disaster, the people have suffered, this general Yang Lian is the new envoy of the Shuntian Festival in Haichu and Chu Prefectures, and now he has come to Chuzhou to help the victims." Yang Lian said loudly, now is the best time to win the hearts of the people, how could Yang Lian give up?

Hearing Yang Lian's words, the people were silent and gave relief to the victims? It's a nice thing to say, but few people believe it. At the time of the disaster, Liu Yanzhen, the assassin of Chuzhou, said the same, but in fact? However, he raised the price of grain and took the opportunity to squeeze money, and with the experience of the past, there are naturally not too many people who believe in Yang Lian.

For a while, Yang Lian fell into a deathly silence around him, and no one believed Yang Lian's words.

Yang Lian naturally knew what this group of people meant, after all, Liu Yanzhen had done evil in Haichu and Chu for many years, and the people's impression of the government was not good, and it was not an overnight thing to change the people's views for a while. Yang Lian coughed, took a few steps back, looked at everyone, and shouted: "Fellow villagers, I will know that you have scruples, but as an official of the imperial court, I should be the master of the people, and I will not care what happened before, but from today on, the people of Chuzhou City must not starve to death a single person, otherwise, it will be a dereliction of duty." ”

Yang Lian's words were quite sincere, and someone in the crowd suddenly whispered, but still no one believed it. Could it be that this new Shuntian festival envoy is really a good person? Some people thought so in their hearts, but when they saw Liu Yanzhen not far behind Yang Lian, they suddenly felt a chill and didn't dare to speak.

At this time, some soldiers carried a sack of grain down and put it on the cart one after another, and everyone could see that the sack was food, and a few people swallowed violently, he had not eaten for several meals.

Yang Lian saw the people like this, immediately walked over quickly, stretched out his hands, struggled to lift a sack, walked to the people, took out a long knife from his waist, and stabbed it into the sack.

"Fellow villagers, you all share this sack of grain. Today, we will put up a notice to distribute food relief starting tomorrow. As long as there will be a bite to eat, you will not go hungry. Yang Lian shouted.

The people still didn't speak, but there were already many people looking at the rice grain in the sack with intent, Yang Lian smiled, walked a few steps, and handed the sack to a strong man. The strong man was taken aback, his body sank, and he almost couldn't hold the sack.

Yang Lian helped him hold him steady, then patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "You all share this sack of grain." Remember, if someone robs him, he will learn in the future and will never be spared! The latter words were very harsh, and they were full of a hint of murderous intent, which made people shudder.

The people, you look at me, I look at you, someone reacted in the middle of the sound, and one of them knelt down with a "poof" and said: "My lord is a good person, I am willing to be a cow and a horse to repay the kindness of my lord." ”

As this person knelt down, people continued to kneel, kowtowing and talking, thanking Yang Lian for his kindness.

Yang Lian stepped forward, helped one of them up, and said, "Get up, get up!" ”

The man was thin and weak, and when Yang Lian helped him like this, he stood up, and when he saw the scar on Yang Lian's face, he was not afraid, but felt amiable.

"Folks, this natural disaster is very difficult, and I hope you will be in the same boat and tide over the difficulties with me! As long as not a single person is starved to death, that is the greatest victory. Yang Lian said.

A citizen raised his arms and shouted, "What the Jiedu envoy said is right, as long as we pass this pass, we will work hard to produce and repay the grace of the adult!" ”

When one person said this, the rest of the people echoed it, and the emotions of the people were suddenly mobilized, and they all shouted about Yang Lian's official position. Yang Lian waited for everyone to finish shouting, then he arched his hand to the people and said loudly: "As you said, after surviving this period of time, we should have built water conservancy, actively developed production, and improved the lives of the people." It's just that this kind of thing is not something I can do alone, and I still need the strong support of all the villagers. ”

"Yang Jiedu's business is our business, as long as Yang Jiedu gives an order, we should do our best!" Someone from the people said.

"Do your best!" Suddenly, many people said one after another, this attracted several people, and they were full of curiosity, what happened?

Yang Lian waved his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet, let them go home first, notify the neighbors more, read more notices, and receive food on time tomorrow. The people were thankful, and then they gradually dispersed. Yang Lian finished his work here and continued to direct the soldiers to carry the grain.

Liu Yanzhen was on the side, her face was cloudy, Yang Lian was trying to win the hearts of the people, although the means were sparse and ordinary, but often the simplest way, easy to achieve the best results, with the propaganda of this group of people, Liu Yanzhen believes that Yang Lian's name has been publicized to a certain extent. And he, the assassin of Chuzhou, is about to be gradually set aside. If it weren't for Liu Yanzhen's intention to retreat, he would definitely have designed to assassinate Yang Lian.

Looking at the busy Yang Lian, Liu Yanzhen savored Yang Lian's words, thought about it and thought about it, Liu Yanzhen felt that there were some words in these words that were said to him. Liu Yanzhen thought about it carefully and felt that Yang Lian should not have much hostility towards her, otherwise she would not have said that she was not to blame for the previous things.

If this is the case, Liu Yanzhen feels that no matter what Yang Lian wants to do, he doesn't have to care. While pondering, Liu Zheng hurried over with five hundred soldiers, and with the addition of this group of new troops, the speed of carrying grain suddenly accelerated a lot.

Liu Yanzhen found an opportunity, called Liu Zheng to his side, and asked, "Zheng'er, what did your uncle tell you, how did you think about it?" ”

Liu Zheng's face was cloudy, and after thinking about it, Liu Zheng shook his head and said, "Uncle, my nephew wants to follow you." ”

Liu Yanzhen shook her head and said, "Zheng'er, this Yang Jiedu is good at winning the hearts of the people, although you don't know what happened just now, but your uncle sees it in his eyes." It's just that in this short period of time, Yang Jiedu's reputation will soon spread throughout the city, and there are many benefits to following him. You naturally know how much your uncle loves you, how can your uncle hurt you? ”

Liu Zheng still seemed a little hesitant, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Uncle, do you really want to take refuge in him?" ”

"Nature is true. But if you don't want to, uncle won't be reluctant! If you are willing, my uncle will find a time to talk to Yang Jiedu about this, and I think that in three or five years, you will be able to become an official and become a knight. Liu Yanzhen said. Although Liu Zheng is now by his side, he is a pro-soldier, and he actually has no official position, not even a military general of Jiupin.

Liu Zheng pursed his lips and thought for a while, then slowly spoke, and said: "Uncle, I know that you won't harm me, since that's the case, I'll work for him and see if I can have a future!" ”

Liu Yanzhen was overjoyed when she heard this, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Zheng'er, you can think like this, my uncle is very pleased." This disaster relief is an opportunity to perform, you have to behave well, so that your uncle can mention this matter to Yang Jiedu. ”

"Nephew understands." Liu Zheng arched his hand and ran to the side to get busy. (To be continued.) )
