Lu Zuo knew that literati had the problem of exaggerating the truth or covering up their mistakes, and he was also a literati himself, so he sighed and said: "My lord, it's not just as simple as some dead and injured now, do you know what the price of rice in the city is now?" ”

Without waiting for Wang Jiabin to speak, Lu Zuo stretched out five fingers and said: "One stone of rice is five taels, but even if you want to buy rice for five taels, you can't buy it, because the rice shop only sells ten stones a day!" ”

"What?" Hearing this, Wang Jiabin was shocked, in the past few days, he was either busy looking for King Heng and the Inspection Department or was busy comforting the victims outside the city, and he didn't know that the price of rice in the city had risen to this point, and he couldn't buy rice!

"Mao Yang's words are true!"

"My lord, what the lower official said is true!"

"This, this ......" After saying two 'this', Wang Jiabin yelled fiercely: "Damn, these damn silverfish, aren't they really afraid of killing their heads?" ”

"My lord, with all due respect, even if there is chaos, it will not be them who want to kill the head!"

Hearing this, Wang Jiabin slumped on the chair in a dejected manner......

That night, it was still the small courtyard in the west of the city, and Yu Zheng and Qian You were unhurriedly drinking a glass of Chinese wine. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"The gates are finally closed!"

"No, it's not going to work, it's very good that three thousand stone meters can last until now!"

"Is there enough rice in the city?"

"Don't worry, my lord, there is enough food in the city, and I have enough people to store food outside the city!"

"Don't be careless......"

Yu Zheng said not to be careless, and Wei Boyuan, who was in Xiema Village outside the city, was also saying the same thing to Liu Zheng.

"Liu Zheng, don't be careless, this is not a joke! That's tens of thousands of hungry victims, they don't care about you, they are crazy, even the imperial army may be crushed! ”

"Old man Wei, don't worry, it'll be fine, do you know why this government only gives porridge for disaster relief?"

Wei Boyuan looked at Liu Zheng strangely and said, "Is there anything wrong with the government's disaster relief porridge?" ”

Liu Zheng smiled and said: "Old man Wei, there is a lot of knowledge in this, the government gives porridge every day, have you ever seen salt in porridge?" People don't have the strength to eat salt, and they only eat half a pack a day, and after a few days, they have no strength to make trouble, so they can only be at the mercy of others! ”

This thing really can't be thought about, it's really scary to think about it, Wei Boyuan is a smart person, so after a little thought, he understood, his face suddenly became very ugly, he really didn't think that there was such a dirt in it.

"Tomorrow's Thing......"

"Old man Wei, rest assured, everything for tomorrow has been arranged!"

……

On the eighth day of soup kitchen, the sun had risen overhead, and the victims who were waiting for life-saving food looked at the tightly closed city gate, and finally understood that they had been abandoned, and I don't know who suddenly cried out in their voices, and for a while the cries and scolding sounded violently outside the city gate.

Just when the disaster was coming, a team of about 200 people suddenly came to the north gate where the victims of the disaster had gathered, and behind the horse team was a team of rickshaws with no end in sight, and the people pulling the carts were all men in the prime of life, and if they had good eyesight, they could see that these men were wearing a waist knife.

The horse team came to the disaster victims not far behind the stop, the red-faced man who hit the head of the hand held a Daguan knife, majestic like the second master in the painting, this man waved his hand slightly, then saw behind the horse team out of more than a dozen people carrying wooden signs, these people put the signs on the ground every thirty or fifty steps, and soon there were people carrying sledgehammers to these people came to these people, picked up the sledgehammer and smashed these nearly high signs into the ground one by one.

When the signs were erected, the victims gradually gathered around, because these people on the horse all had weapons in their hands, and they did not speak, and the victims who surrounded them did not dare to get too close.

Immediately, the red-faced man suddenly snorted heavily, and then roared: "Call a few village elders to come forward!" ”

The sound spread far and wide like a bell, causing a slight commotion among the victims, but soon the victims regained their calm, and more than a dozen village elders were also pushed to the red-faced man.

One of the villagers, who looked a little majestic, hugged his fist at the red-faced man on the horse and said: "This military master, the little old man is from Mojia Village, Weixian County, and his ancestor is the sage Momen Mozi, I don't know if this military master told me to wait......

Immediately, the red-faced man lifted the knife, which weighed about seventy or eighty pounds, before the old man could finish his ramblings, and this move frightened all the victims and took several steps back.

The red-faced man snorted softly and said, "After being a saint, you can read and write, and stand in line according to what is written on the sign!" ”

The words written in red lacquer on the huge sign can be seen clearly from afar, these villagers saw it early, some of the signs say carpenter, some write blacksmith, some write weaver, some write mason, some write strong, and even some write women, children, old and weak, there are really too many questions in my heart at this time, the villager who is known as the Mojia Mozi opened his mouth and asked: "This military master, I don't know which battalion of soldiers, what do you want me to do?" ”

Immediately, the red-faced man said with a straight face: "Hugh asks more, if you want to live, hurry up and stand up according to what is written on the sign!" ”

While these people were talking, the convoy had reached a place not far behind the horse team, and soon these people began to act, some were setting up pots and cooking, some were setting up tents, and some were carrying a table and walking quickly to this side, and there was a person dressed as a bookkeeper beside the table.

The villagers and the victims looked at the tables placed on the side of the sign, and the bookkeeper put the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone on the table one by one, and after the bookkeeper was seated, soon seven or eight people carried the basket and put it beside the bookkeeper, and the victims who were close to the disaster even saw a small sign in the basket, and there were words written on it, which was similar to the waist card of the government officer, and the discussion suddenly buzzed in the small world in the north of the city.

This group of people is really strange, they all carry blades on their bodies, but they don't wear military uniforms, but they seem to be in the army, and some people even guess that these people are mountain bandits, but soon the people who say this are despised, you have fucking seen such disciplined mountain bandits, you fucking have seen mountain bandits and Mr. Bookkeeper.

Just when the victims were talking, suddenly a man who was still wearing a single coat in the middle of the winter walked to a sign, and saw the man hugging his fist and saying angrily: "I, I am a blacksmith!" ”

The bookkeeper sitting behind the desk was slightly stunned, and then smiled: "You are a blacksmith?" Can you still read and write? ”

The man scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "I, I can recognize a few words, they were all taught to me by my father!" ”

"Haha, okay, then let me ask you, what is your surname, where is your home, but you still have family?"

"I, my name is Li Tiezhu, I live in Lijia Village, I still have an old lady, a daughter-in-law and two babies!"

After Li Tiehammer finished speaking, Mr. Bookkeeper had already finished recording, took out a sign from his side and handed it forward: "Okay, I have written down your situation, take this fast sign, go to find your family to come over, and go to the back to eat!" ”

Li Tiezhu was overjoyed when he heard this: "Hey, hey, okay, I'll go, I'll go!" ”

Take the sign, Li Tiehammer separated the victims behind him and happily looked for his wife, now the victims couldn't hold their breath, make a record and have food, one by one urged the villagers, let them quickly tell everyone the words written on the sign.

After a while, there was a long queue in front of each fast sign, especially in front of the old and weak women and children and the sturdy two signs, which can be said to be endless.

At this time, if you look down from the sky, you will see that the victims who were about to make a fuss have calmed down at this time, and one by one they pack their burdens and consciously walk towards their respective teams, but from time to time there are sobs in the crowd, which is the whimper of the woman and her husband when they are separated.

Liu Zheng was standing in front of a tent that had been set up at this time, looking up at the city wall not far away, his eyesight was excellent, on the city wall stood in twos and threes the soldiers of the inspection department, on the city tower, there were several men in official uniforms, one of the men in official uniforms was talking to a man in fast clothes next to him, the person wearing fast clothes was none other than his son Liu Chengzong, and the person who talked to Liu Chengzong was the same as Yu Zheng.

Just as Liu Zheng was guessing what Yu Zheng was talking to his father, Zhou Yun's voice sounded beside him: "Second brother, it has been arranged, and none of the four city gates will fall!" ”

"Yes!" Liu Zheng hummed lightly.

"Second brother, the eldest brother has a sentence in his heart, I don't know ......"

Liu Zheng turned his head to look at Zhou Yun, and after looking at it for a long time, he smiled and said, "What does the eldest brother want to ask?" ”

"Second brother, I know that you are quick and cautious, but I am your eldest brother ......"

Liu Zheng snorted and laughed, then gently patted Zhou Yun on the shoulder and said: "Big brother, don't blame the younger brother, it's not that the younger brother doesn't want to tell the plate, but there is a forced hardship, my Zhuangzi, people come and go, there are many eyes, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no people from the court, if you don't wait for the incident, the plan will be discovered by the court, have you ever thought about the consequences?" ”

"Second brother, eldest brother, am I the kind of person who has no words?"

"Big brother, you blame the little brother, you must know that the wall has ears! Don't talk about others, just talk about my father, there are a lot of eyes and ears in our Zhuangzi. ”

Zhou Yun stopped talking now, he had been wandering in the rivers and lakes for a long time, and he had dealt with the eagle dogs of the imperial court a lot of times, Liu Zheng's Laozi, Zhou Yun had also seen it, on Liu Chengzong's body, he smelled some different smells, and he was sure that Liu Chengzong was definitely not an ordinary servant.

Seeing that Zhou Yun was silent, Liu Zheng smiled and said: "Big brother, what you see today is all the family background of my younger brother, from today on, you and I will really share weal and woe!" ”

Zhou Yun's eyes gradually became bright, and after a while, he hugged his fists heavily and said: "Since the day you and I got married, the life of the eldest brother has been sold to you, no matter where the road leads in the future, the eldest brother is willing to take the lead and clear the obstacles for the second brother!" ”
