At noon on the twentieth day of the lunar month, although the heavy snow still did not mean to stop, the ten mile pavilion in the south of the city and the send-off people gathered. Dozens of former colleagues and subordinates came to have a good time. Although Ling Xiao lost the position of the crown prince washing horses, he still retained the official position of Jinyi Guard, and he was also ordered to inspect Shanxi. So it's better to come to Tongrong first than to meet on another day...... After all, not all civil officials are characters like Liu Daxia.

Ye Guan had just said goodbye to the people who saw him off, and was sitting in the car counting the Cheng Yi sent by those officials, and the team had not walked more than ten miles, but he saw a man and a horse standing in the middle of the road on the official road not far away, and the person was wearing a green gauze coat and a hat to cover his face.

"Who's coming?" Jin Yiwei saw that someone was blocking the way, so he drew his sword and looked at the man vigilantly.

"This girl? Who's sending them off is like a robbery. Will you give me the silver, or will I give you the silver? Ye looked at this figure and showed a wry smile.

"Ye Guan, I'm going to Datong!" The girl raised her head, looked at Ye Guan with red and swollen eyes, and said these words, although there were few words, but the look in her eyes let people know that he was not joking.

"Are we eloping?" Ye Guan shrugged his shoulders and said jokingly.

"Count, I'm going to elope with you!" The girl nodded solemnly.

Hearing Zhu Qinglin say this, Ye Guan suddenly felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.

Someone is willing to elope with him...... What kind of feeling and trust is this?

"Okay, you're not afraid of a girl's family, but I'm a master of what to be afraid of. If you elope, you will elope, but if you say that, if you get on the thief ship, you don't want to go down, if you don't want to, you'd better go back now! Although Ye Guan was also joking, anyone could hear the promise.

"I never regret what this girl has done. Isn't it a thief ship, I want to be the captain of a thief ship! ”

"Well, the gentleman and the woman are as good as they say, and the horses are hard to chase!" Ye Guan said.

"No, I have to say, the villain and the woman are all in one word, and the horse is difficult to chase." Zhu Qinglin replied.

"I'm that kind of a villain?"

"The girl who kidnapped someone else's house is not called a villain?" The guard beside Ye Guan said in his heart.

"Get up, I'm going to make a carriage."

"Miss, didn't you come on horseback, why are you going to take a carriage again?"

"With a carriage, who is going to ride a horse. Riding a horse is what a man should do......" Zhu Qinglin said righteously.

"I don't know which man was waiting for me on the road on a horse just now......" Ye Guan muttered quietly as he got out of the carriage.

"What did you say?"

"It's nothing, I said men like to ride horses......"

"Why does it sound so weird?"

"Hey......

Sometimes, the biggest thing in a person's life is actually decided by one or two sentences......

………………

Beizhili Baoding Mansion. Ye Guan stood outside the city with emotion.

In November, he was hunted down to the capital, so he didn't dare to stay in Baoding Mansion for more, but he returned to his hometown today. But there is no emotion in my heart.

Something you didn't notice that day. I did pay good attention to it today.

Ye Guan stood on the floor, and the open space outside the city gate was clearly full of black and oppressive homeless people. The soldiers of the Inspection Division, the soldiers of the Yamen of the Governor of Zhili, and the officials of the Yamen of the Prefecture are all doing the same thing - they will expel refugees with whips!

The people who escorted Ye Guan to Datong were Ye Guan's old subordinates, the merchants of the Jinyi Wei Thousand Households and the group of Jinyi Guards who solved the troubles in the Yamen of the Ministry last time.

Ye Guan sent a merchant to investigate the situation, and after a while, the merchant reported: My lord, I have inquired about it, and those victims are from Henan. This year, there was a severe drought in Henan in the summer. Most of the fields did not harvest grains. Millions of people in dozens of counties have been affected. The victims had no choice but to eat next year's seeds, but just after the autumn, a heavy snowfall forced the hungry people to flee in all directions. Most of the victims flocked to Gangnam. But there are still 100,000 people begging all the way north. This group of victims came all the way to Baoding Mansion, but the victims were not from Beizhili, and secondly, Baoding Mansion did not have surplus grain to help these foreign victims, so the prefect strictly ordered not to put these victims into Baoding and drive them to other places. ”

Looking at the wives below wailing scattered, and the bloody whip shadow flying. Although Ye Guan couldn't see clearly from a distance, he also felt the depression of screaming, a group of people who were oppressed by the black! O black and crushed victims! I don't know how many people died of hunger and cold along the way, but there are still so many victims, and only one-tenth of the victims go to the north, so how many people should be in the south? Ye Guan choked. "Xinggu's surname is bitter. Lose. The people are bitter. Well, let's go check it out. ”

Ye Guan walked down from the city gate tower with a heavy heart. Looking at these refugees up close, Ye Guan intuitively felt for the first time what it means to be hungry and mournful. Looking at these victims who could only rely on tattered single clothes to keep out the cold in the winter, Ye Guan suddenly remembered the sentence in the Tang Dynasty poet Du Fu's "Stone Trench Officer" that there is a grandmother who has not gone and has no skirt in and out. It was only when he saw the men and women of the flood victims today that he had a deep understanding. Dirty skin, yellow face, crumbling body, with dry lips and empty eyes, this is the adult hungry person in front of him. When a person starves to death, you can blame that person for being lazy, when a hundred people starve to death, you can also blame the natural disasters here, when a thousand people starve to death, you can also blame the local government, and when 10,000 people starve to death, who is to blame? Who is to blame when a province can have millions of victims?

During the time when Ye Guan walked down the city tower, he clearly saw that a few more people suddenly fell straight down like this, and they didn't know whether they were alive or dead, and then they were trampled on by the victims who were as insensitive as loss. The most terrifying thing is that even the children who follow those people seem to have no souls, and they don't even have a crying expression. They may just drift away with the tide of refugees, until these emaciated children finally collapse on the way to escape......

The sound of the whip and the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground from time to time and these hungry victims who have no strength to speak construct a "Thousand Miles of Hunger Map". It is not alive, because such a plague victim barely has the slightest sound, and even the crowd is numb, like a still painting. It is alive again, and the price of painting this painting is a piece of fresh life! With such a painting, Ye Guan almost burst into tears.

"Ye Guan, let's save them!" Zhu Qinglin had already come out of the car, where had she seen such a scene since she was a child, and she couldn't help but open a porridge factory to help the victims.

"Open a porridge factory, I want to open a porridge factory! Drive away those soldiers with whips, they don't let the victims into the city, the lord is not an official in Shanxi, and the lord can't control them. But I'm going to open a porridge factory at the gate of Baoding City! Ye Guan said with red eyes.

When Ye Guan asked those brocade guards to carry large bags of grain to prepare porridge, these victims could see a little color in their eyes and feel that they were alive. The victims of all sizes were holding broken bowls, holding half of the iron pots, and even those who did not have containers were ready to catch the hot porridge in the pot with their hands, looking a little stupid, but in the eyes of the victims who were hungry for an unknown amount of time, food was everything! If it weren't for Ye Guan's guards still holding swords, they would have gone up to grab it before the porridge was ready.

The prefect of Baoding Prefecture knew that there was a passing Qin Cha who was giving porridge at the door of his house, so he was immediately dissatisfied, and he was giving porridge at the door of his house, wasn't this a slap in the face? Immediately, he didn't care about anything else, and rushed to the city gate with a group of officials from the yamen.

"Dare to ask where the angels are going? (PS: The ancient emperor's reputation for the Qincha was angel.) Not the winged birdman, but the messenger of the Son of Heaven. The prefect of Baoding Prefecture came up and saluted first, and then asked pretending not to know. (Let's talk about it first, part of the so-called Qincha in the early and middle Ming Dynasty is actually the meaning of the governor, that is, an informal official position, and not all Qincha can use the emperor's holy decree.) The meaning of the Qin Cha is somewhat similar to that of the head of the State Council Supervision Group, which seems to have a lot of power, but it is only limited to the local area. Ye Guan's duties were even worse, and they were limited to the military of Datong Mansion. It is not on the side of Baoding Mansion. ）

"Governor Li, if you have time to ask me where I am going, you might as well go and allocate food from the Yicang to help the victims." After Ye saw the attitude of those Baoding soldiers towards Zaiming, he was very unimpressed with this round prefect.

Seeing that Ye Guan did not talk about the feelings and politeness of officialdom at all, but accused him of not opening a warehouse to provide grain, Governor Li immediately sneered. You are just a passing Qincha, and you are also a Qincha of Datong, Shanxi, not to mention that I am the prefect of Shangfu, a standard fourth-grade official, at the same level as you, you are in charge of heaven and earth, and you actually crossed the line. Immediately said loudly: "Come on, give me a hard time, then they all rush to Shanxi, let Lord Qincha, and entertain these victims in Shanxi!" On behalf of these victims, I would like to thank Lord Ye for his generosity! ”

This prefect of Baoding actually lost his temper and was consumed with Ye Guan.

Ye Guan was originally a young man, where could he stand such a yin qi, he was about to get angry immediately, learn from those old ministers in the court, and prepare to beat this Li Governor's Mansion.

"Merchant, arrest me all those eight lambs with knives, if you dare to resist, you will be killed!" Ye Guan gave an order with red eyes.

"Order!" When the merchant heard Ye Guan's order, he immediately led the Jinyi Guard to fight with the officers and soldiers of the Inspection Division and the Guard.

"Baoding Governor Wang Jing Wang has arrived—" A summons sound, interrupting Ye Guan's movements......
