The beggar was still chattering: "This kind man, please leave a name, I am actually in good health, but I am hungry." When I have enough to eat, I will go to join the army, I can have food to eat, and I can get some salary, as long as I stay alive, I will definitely pay you back. ”

Wei Changfeng couldn't listen to it anymore, he hurriedly stood up and left, completely ignoring the beggar's cry behind him. After walking a few steps, he saw seven or eight beggars coming from the corner of the street, and the first one shouted at the beggar who was relieved by Wei Changfeng: "Big brother, let's come back after some food!" ”

The beggar brother hurriedly shouted: "Third brother, quickly stop this kind-hearted man and ask for his name, this kind-hearted man helped me with some silver taels." ”

When the third brother heard what the eldest brother said, he hurriedly stepped forward, blocked in front of Wei Changfeng, bowed his hand with a smile on his face, and said, "This kind-hearted person, thank you very much, dare to ask...... It turned out to be you! The smile on his face suddenly disappeared, he looked directly at Wei Changfeng, and shouted, "You brute! ”

"What's going on?" A few beggars on the side heard the third child speak like this, and asked questions one after another.

The third clenched his fists tightly and shouted, "Come and see, do you recognize this person?" This person is the one who ordered to rob our parcels on the road! ”

Among those beggars, there were also those who recognized Wei Changfeng and shouted, "It's him!" ”

"Beat him!" Someone shouted.

Wei Changfeng took a step back to prevent the beggars from hurting people, and said loudly: "None of your packages have been touched by Wei Mou!" ”

Seeing Wei Changfeng retreating, the third child was bold in his heart, stepped forward, and tightly pressed Wei Changfeng to shout: "That's because you didn't have time to move!" ”

Wei Changfeng sneered: "I'm so greedy for money, why do I have to fight hard to protect you and the Donghu army?" Why do you want to take the initiative to help your eldest brother? ”

The third child was stunned and closed his fist.

Wei Changfeng saw that the third child was a little hesitant, and immediately added: "You are carrying a package, you may be able to escape?" If I had advised you to give up the package, you might have listened to me? ”

The third child's fist became lower and lower as Wei Changfeng asked, and finally let go. After a while, he slowly raised his head and replied, "What you said is right, but do you know that Lu Dao, we are like this, it is better to be killed by the Donghu army?" Tears suddenly welled up in his eyes, "We are also a small rich family, in Xingcheng, it can be regarded as living and working in peace and contentment, Donghu is attacking, we can only accept our fate, but our net worth is in the package on our back, without the package, what do we do to survive?" The more he spoke, the more angry he became, and pointed at his eldest brother: "My eldest brother is dying of hunger, and there are several refugees who are dying like this, have you saved us?" ”

Wei Changfeng sighed.

He really wanted to save these people, but these people really can't be saved now.

"I'll report to Superior Lu," he looked directly into the eyes of the third child and said solemnly, "Report as soon as you go back, and you will definitely find a way to let the local government help you." ”

The third child smiled, and the smile was indescribably bitter: "This military master, are you really stupid or fake stupid?" Are you going to see us starving to death here? We have already petitioned the Yamen twice, and the Yamen's reply is: The relief money has not yet been sent to the Yamen, please bear with us for a few more days! Ha Lu Ha! He had a smile in his mouth, but there was no happy expression on his face, "Endure for a few more days, and after a few days, will it be necessary for us to give relief to the silver taels?" ”

Wei Changfeng had nothing to say for a while.

"Bear with me for a few days!" It's also a shame that the county magistrate can say it! How many days can these people endure starvation like this? Why don't you try to endure it for a few days?

The third child looked at Wei Changfeng, the anger in his eyes had been extinguished, he sighed, and suddenly gave Wei Changfeng a deep salute: "Master Jun, thank you for sacrificing your life to save us, but, if there is really a next time, please, don't save us again." With that, he leaned over to the side and made a "please" gesture.

Wei Changfeng saw that the third child refused to say more to himself, and just wanted to let himself go away as soon as possible, and he didn't know what it was like in his heart. Even if General Zhao or even General Zhu goes to the county official, there is no way to order the county official, he is a magistrate, why should he listen to your soldiers? These are two different things. It's just, is he just watching these people starve to death?

Not far away, a soldier hurriedly ran over, and before he could reach Wei Changfeng's eyes, he shouted: "Wei Shichang! Why are you here? General Zhao sent you there, I've been waiting for a long time! ”

So, Wei Changfeng returned to the barracks with an unhappy face.

After entering the Chinese military tent, Zhao Zi'an was waiting for annoyance. Seeing that Wei Changfeng finally came in, he tried to smile and said: "Wei Shichang, you have made great contributions before, and you have been promoted to the position of centurion, and from today onwards, you will not be Wei Shichang, you are Wei Centurion!" "Let's wait for Wei Changfeng to thank you.

"Thank you, General." Wei Changfeng really thanked him, but there was not much joy on his face.

Zhao Zi'an's heart sank. Could it be that Wei Changfeng reacted so quickly and immediately realized that he was too small to only be promoted by one level? Ignore him, promotion is a reward, he can't say anything. Zhao Zi'an decided to play dumb. He still kept a smile and continued: "Your contribution is not small, General Zhu is very happy, I was going to summon you in person, but I am busy with military affairs, I really can't spare time, I specially order me to convey the commendation to you, and reward another thousand taels of silver!" ”

Wei Changfeng's eyes lit up suddenly: "Thank you, General Zhu!" Thank you, General Zhao! The tone of these two sentences can be said to be described as excited is not too much at all, and it is not at all the same tone as Fang Cai's weak "Thank you, General".

Zhao Zi'an was angry when he heard this, he was really angry!
