130, the old man meets the old man on the cold wind, punishes corrupt officials and protects the people's hearts (second watch)
It's another year of bleak winter, and I hope to have a good year in the cold winter. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info This is the voice and wish of the people. Approaching the end of the line, I am afraid of what I am about to face, but I also look forward to the rewards I will get after it.
In Yuecheng in Linhe County, Sun Nian got up early in the morning in this cold winter, and after practicing martial arts, he called Thirteen Niang, who was still bedridden, and after eating breakfast, he went out hand in hand. Jiang Wei took two guards and followed not far away.
"Brother Nian, if you get up early in the morning, don't you want to eat the northwest wind?" Thirteen Niang complained on Sun Nian's back.
Sun Nian smiled at the corner of his mouth, and he didn't care about her, just took her hand and said, "Jiaozhou is our land, how do the people here?" We can't just listen to the courtiers. Seeing is believing, and seeing it can we know what our country's policy is. Then, make some modifications. Do not ignore them. ”
"That's right. So today's dress, my esteemed majesty is also premeditated? ”
"Well thought out beforehand. Where is the premeditation? ”
The two were talking and laughing, and before they knew it, they came to the vicinity of the city gate.
Because it was the day of the big gathering, outside the city gate, the people lined up to enter the city. Most people carry a team of baskets into the city, which contain either eggs or other small prey. I sold something, so I could buy some oil and salt and the like. There are also some people who sell charcoal. No, the nearest charcoal seller to the gate of the city is an old man with gray hair. Far away from the old man's house, there are a few middle-aged and young boys pushing wheelbarrows loaded with charcoal.
"Brother Nian, do you think those charcoal sellers are a little strange?"
Sun Nian lowered his head, looked at the serious Thirteen Niang, and asked, "Ting'er tell me about it?" ”
"They don't look right. It seems to be a mixture of pity and expectation. Nodding, Sun Nian was noncommittal and said, "Let's take a look first." ”
The place where they stood happened to be a place where the officers and soldiers guarding the city could not see, but Sun Nian and the others happened to face the people in line.
Originally, it was still fine, but the people watched cautiously as the officers and soldiers looked through their little things, and when they were done, they carefully accompanied the smiling faces away.
Not long after, when it was almost the turn of the old charcoal seller, a petty officer came with a few soldiers, one of whom was still holding a few pieces of cloth, one of which was a red yarn.
A pair of eyes that looked like thieves looked at the people who were secretly looking at him, smiled proudly, and after looking directly at the charcoal seller, he stood beside the charcoal seller and did not leave! What does this mean? Obviously, the charcoal seller Weng Sansheng was fortunate to have taken a fancy to his charcoal.
The charcoal sellers are much older, and naturally know the tragic things they have to face.
Sure enough, when the charcoal seller walked to the soldiers guarding the city, the petty officer had already walked up to him and said; "Old man! I want your cart of charcoal. You've worked hard, so change me for this high-quality red rhombus yarn! To give! The petty official rudely pushed the red rhombus into the arms of the charcoal seller, because the petty official was too strong, and almost pushed the charcoal seller to the ground.
Thirteen Niang was angry, and she wanted to teach the little official a lesson when she raised her feet, but she was stopped by Sun Nian and said softly: "Slow down, see if you dare to step forward to stand up for the old man." ”
Hearing this, Thirteen Niang had no choice but to hold back the fire in her heart, stood aside obediently, and watched the old man bow his head and wipe his tears with his shabby sleeves, but he didn't dare to refute a word.
Among the people, the silence is as deep as the night, and the sound of needles falling on the ground can be heard.
The petty officer was about to call the soldier next to him to remove the charcoal from the wheelbarrow, but he heard a young and clear voice chanting poetry.
If you listen carefully, it is: "Go into the forest to make charcoal, and sell charcoal for the cold winter." Set up a good official, change the yarn to resist the east wind. ”
The straightforward ironic poem made the little official embarrassed and angry, and his eyes and ears were red! He beckoned the little soldier to come forward and surround the young man who was so poetic, and said in a dark voice: "Sure enough, a talent!" My family happens to lack a young talent, why don't you go to live in my house? If you don't go out for the rest of your life, you don't have to worry about food and clothing. ”
When others heard this, they were secretly shocked. This man is a bully petty officer. In the past, he relied on the old documents with the government king, and through this relationship, he always bullied people outside. It is not uncommon for petty officials to seize things from the common people. Even if the powerless ordinary people suffer losses, they can only swallow the bitter water into their stomachs. Otherwise, you say one more word, or your life is gone. Therefore, everyone is worried that the future life of this brave sarcastic petty official will be in danger. The implicit meaning of his words is to trap the rest of his life in his home. But none of them dared to come forward to intercede.
The charcoal seller is not ignorant. Seeing this, he immediately cried, "Please forgive me!" Children are crazy, nonsense. It's too much! Beg the adults to let him go. "After that, I have to kneel down and kowtow. But he was stopped by that posterity. The descendant who only listened said contemptuously: "Old man, you can kneel to the heavens and kneel to the heavens, and even more to the ancestors and elders!" And not kneeling brutes. ”
"Good! Guts! The petty official sneered, suddenly pulled out the saber he was wearing, pointed at the descendant, and wanted to speak, but he heard someone behind him meddling in his affairs: "What a petty official!" and was able to take away the lives of the people. He also wanted to kill the loyal and brave people who were persuaded by Geng Zhizhi! What a big dog! ”
"Which nosy kid is this?" The petty official turned around with a scold, and saw Sun Nian with a cold face like a living Yama, and there was a living Rakshasa by his side? Behind is the Angry Eye Divine General? As soon as Sun Nian saw them, the junior official knew that they were hard bones. He immediately put away his arrogant face and asked, "Who are you?" At this time, the face of a soldier beside the junior officer changed abruptly, and he couldn't think of explaining to the junior official, so he knelt on the ground and wailed: "See Your Majesty, little one!" Your Majesty spares your life! The little ones were forced by him! ”
It's really the wisdom of the common people. The moment he recognized Sun Nian, Xiao Bing immediately excused himself and explained his innocence and the evil of the petty official.
The kneeling of the small soldiers caused the officers and soldiers defending the city to bow to the ground. The people knelt down with ignorance and excitement. The petty official lay on the ground with an earthy face, not daring to shout injustice. Because he knew that this time it was really bad luck.
Looking at the people kneeling on the ground, Sun Nian was very distressed and said, "Get up!" ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The crowd cheered and cheered.
Sun Nian didn't like the little soldier who took the lead in making a complaint, and he was also very disgusted with the little officer and the other two little soldiers around him, so he saw that they were also staggering to get up, so he said, "Who told you to get up?" ”
As soon as Sun Nian said this, the four petty officials fell to the ground with a clatter, trembling.
Sun Nian didn't care about them, and walked directly in front of the charcoal seller and Housheng, and said, "Old man, how much charcoal do you have at home?" Sell them all to me! ”
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! The charcoal seller was grateful, "There are only two truckloads (charcoal) left in the old man's house." Just send it all to Your Majesty! ”
As soon as the old man's words came out, the descendant beside him, that is, the descendant who helped the charcoal seller, said: "Grandpa Wu, you still have to leave a car to spend the winter with your little grandson!" Otherwise, the cold wind passes through the thatched hut, how do you two spend Changdong, one old and one young? ”
Sun Nian glanced at the bold descendant in surprise and said with a smile: "I see." Then I'll send someone to the old man's house to get it. lest the old man run again. ”
"How does this work? I can't help it! I can't help it! ”
"That's it. Don't retreat, old man. Sun Nian turned his head and said to Jiang Wei: "Boyo, you will send two people to follow the old man to retrieve the charcoal." Buy as you want. ”
"Promise!"
Thirteen Niang said at this time: "Brother Anian, it's better to wait for the old man to buy things, and then go with him, and by the way, you can help him bring things." ”
"Yes. Old man, it's that I don't think about it well. When you've bought all your things, I'll call my guards to go back with you. ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"Alright. Let's live in the city. After saying this, Sun Nian looked at the arrogant descendant, and while looking, he nodded with satisfaction and said, "Not bad." It doesn't look crooked. ”
Thirteen Niang smiled, how could she praise people so well?
Sure enough, the descendant blushed with shame, and didn't speak.
I heard Sun Nian again: "Seeing that you are talented and brave, why don't you follow me?" How? ”
The latter pursed his lips, and when he saw that Sun Nian didn't seem to be joking, he thought about it seriously. After a while, he straightened his clothes, kowtowed to Sun Nian, and said, "Minister Chen Xu to see Your Majesty!" ”
"Good! Hurry up! Sun Nian grinned and helped the person up, and said, "You, go to the Mansion to find me tomorrow." ”
Chen Xu readily agreed. At this time, a few people on the side interrupted their conversation.
It turned out that they were the charcoal sellers who had just watched what happened to the charcoal sellers from afar. When they saw that the charcoal seller and Chen Xu had both gotten Sun Nian's blue eyes, they all wanted to come up and win Sun Nian's favor.
Unexpectedly, Sun Nian was very indifferent to them. Helplessly, one of the middle-aged men had the audacity to say, "Your Majesty! Don't you really need a few of our charcoal? You will definitely need it. ”
Thirteen Niang, who didn't have a good impression of them, heard that this seven-foot man was so humble, so she relented and said, "Brother Anian, it's better to buy all their charcoal." Give those wounded soldiers more charcoal, so that they can heal their wounds! ”
"Good. Listen to my queen. Sun Nian deliberately said this so that the people remembered the merits of Thirteen Niang, not willful.
Sure enough, as soon as he said this, those people heard about it and learned that Thirteen Niang was the legendary queen Niangniang, and wanted to kneel again, but was stopped by Thirteen Niang and said, "Hey! Don't even kneel. Kneel, I'm not happy! I came out today to scatter my mind! ”
The people immediately loved Thirteen Niang even more!
"That's it! Follow the guard and bring the charcoal to the camp. Sun Nian urged those charcoal sellers to be humane at this time. Because there was one less guard by his side, Jiang Wei, as the head of the guard, was already very unhappy. He was really worried about the presence of Assassins in the crowd.
Fortunately, not long after, someone rushed to the court, and Yuan Yu had something important to discuss with His Majesty. In this way, Sun Nian and Thirteen Niang had no choice but to rush back, allowing Jiang Wei to breathe a sigh of relief.
The petty officials who were kneeling on the ground, seeing that Sun Nian had forgotten themselves, were very glad that they had escaped a murder. But they were too happy too early, and just as they stood up, one of the guards who had just followed Sun Nian went back and escorted them to the county magistrate! The guard also said that this was a petty official of the common people caught by Sun Nian personally, and he wanted the county magistrate to act impartially. Hearing these words, several petty officials fainted and fell unconscious. What is the result of waiting for them? is nothing more than being detained and working for more than ten years, or directly losing his life. It is said that if you do too much injustice, you will kill yourself, and the ancients did not deceive me.
