Lin Taohua's eyes were smiling, and it seemed that after waiting for him to speak for a long time, Yue Yang's eyes flashed as he smiled.

"Pavilion Master Yue can provide me with some bodyguards? I pay. But I'm very poor now, can the pavilion master give some discounts? ”

Yue Yang was speechless, and said with a light smile: "Little lady, I opened the Qinglou, do you plan to let me send a girl to protect you every day?" ”

"Hahaha." Everyone laughed when they heard this.

Lin Taohua snorted, but she didn't discuss with him the black shadows of the eaves and walls at this time.

"Huh." Yue Yang smiled, shook the paper fan and said no more.

"Boss, there's someone making trouble outside." At this time, Xiao Er came up to report.

"Why is there a lot of trouble when there are free noodles to eat, is someone drinking too much?" Su Jinquan frowned and asked.

Xiao Er said with an unhappy face: "No, it was the beggars in the city who heard that the flowing water banquet here did not charge money, and they all came, and a large group of people occupied the banquet." ”

"Beggars?" Lin Taohua is a little strange, she has been to Qiongya County several times, and she has not seen beggars on the street.

Xiahou Yue is also very strange, Qiongya County is a relatively wealthy county in Yuzhou, and there are basically not many beggars, why did so many beggars suddenly appear this night?

"Go out and have a look." He got up and walked outside.

When everyone walked out of the Zhuangyuan Building, the villagers and beggars had already fought, the tables and chairs were staggered, the soup pot base was spilled everywhere, and some people were even scalded by the boiling soup, and the scene was chaotic.

Lin Taohua followed behind and looked at the chaotic crowd in front of her, there were really a lot of beggars, both men and women, and there were even people holding babies in their arms, all covered in dirt and rags, looking very pitiful.

Su Jinquan saw that the scene was chaotic like this, and many of the pots and pans that had just been made were smashed, so he hurriedly stepped forward and shouted: "Don't fight, don't fight, if you have something to say, don't fight." ”

It's a pity that the people on both sides seem to be red-eyed, and no one pays attention to him.

Xiahou Yue swept around the crowd, his eyes were instantly sharp, and his long legs were inserted into the scene with one step, and his long fist smashed the two people who were tearing each other apart in the center of the field with the wind, and flew up with a kick to separate the two sides.

"Stop it!" His voice was thick and full of energy, and it suddenly drowned out the noise in the room.

Both sides of the fight were killed by his might.

"General Xiahou, these beggars forcibly occupy their seats, like robbers, we just said a few words, they actually beat people, please you must call the shots for us." The man who had just been kicked away by Xiahou Yue knelt down and said with indignation.

Xiahou Yue's tiger eyes glanced at everyone with a threatening look, and said in a deep voice: "Stand on the side, Ben will ask for an understanding." ”

"Yes." The man got up and stepped aside.

Xiahou Yue looked at the male beggar standing not far from him. He was very strong, his complexion was dark, and his already ragged clothes were completely torn in the grappling just now.

"Where are you? Why the trouble? Xiahou Yue asked in a cold voice.

The man looked at Xiahou Yue and suddenly sneered: "Your surname is Xiahou?" It must be the son of the prefect of Yuzhou, hum! You officials sing and dance to the level, where will you care if we live or die? ”

Xiahou frowned, obviously having a lot of opinions about slandering their Xiahou family at this exit.

"In charge, it's not Lord Xiahou who is the fish and flesh people, you speak well." Then a woman who looked thin stood beside the man and whispered.

"Humph! Officials and officials defend each other, and they are no different. "The man doesn't seem to have an ordinary dislike for the government.

The woman's face showed a little helplessness, and she turned to Xiahou Yue and said: "Xiahou Gongzi, we are the villagers of Tianjiazhuang in Shuixi County, we have no intention of making trouble here, but we have been hungry for several days, and we heard that there is a flowing water banquet here, so we want to ask for some food, and the hungry people have disturbed the banquet of the adults, which is really a sin, and I ask the prince to forgive us for the sake of our lack of food." ”

Lin Taohua saw that although the woman's clothes were shabby, the whole was quite clean and tidy, standing in this group of beggars was very abrupt, and then listening to her speech was clear, neither humble nor arrogant, and she didn't look like an ordinary village woman, she couldn't help but be a little curious.

Xiahou Yue didn't plan to deal with that man, and then asked: "Since you are a villager from Tianjiazhuang, how can you beg in Qiongya County?" ”

"Hmph, a plague of locusts has eaten all the food, and if we don't come out to beg, will we starve to death at home?" The man sneered and said sarcastically.

"Xianggong." The woman glared at him angrily, and although the man still didn't have a good attitude towards Xiahou Yue, he didn't turn his head and stopped talking.

"Didn't the state government distribute relief food to the counties?" Xiahou Yue passed the man who couldn't speak well and asked his wife directly.

The woman smiled miserably: "Except for the rich families in the county, where can we, the people, who are frugal every day, have the ability to buy it, and we have no choice but to come out and beg." A few days ago, Master Kong of Qiongya County strictly guarded the city gate and did not let us enter, but yesterday for some reason suddenly stopped caring about us, so we came in to find a way to live. ”

Lin Taohua understood, originally these homeless people were driven away by Kong Jingzhi, because she came a few times and didn't see any beggars in Qiongya County, yesterday Kong Jingzhi was taken into custody by Xiahou Yue, and the current decree in Qiongya County is still in the process of handover, so the defender of the city let this group of poor people in.

"Mother, I'm hungry."

While everyone was thinking, a childish voice suddenly sounded. Lin Taohua followed the voice and saw the little boy standing behind the woman, five or six years old, skinny, with a pair of eyes that were particularly big. He looked eagerly at the table not far away, and looked up at the woman, who seemed to be well educated.

"An'er, will you wait a while?" The woman crouched down and gently touched the boy's head, but did not satisfy his thirst.

Lin Taoxin said, looking at this woman's words and deeds are very qualified, no matter how you look at it, she looks like a person from a big family, how can she marry a farmer in the village?

"For you to eat, my aunt made it, it's delicious." When Lin Taohua was thinking nonsense, Fei'er ran over with her little short legs and handed the little boy chestnut cake.

Lin Taohua's eyes narrowed, hehe, our Fei'er is really a kind little beauty.

"Mother?" The little boy didn't take it directly, but turned his head to look at the woman.

The woman was a little embarrassed, her son was indeed hungry, but she couldn't let her take the little girl's snacks directly, so she turned her head to look at Lin Taohua, thinking that she was looking for Fei'er's family.

"If the child is hungry, don't be polite, madam." Lin Taohua said to the woman with a smile.

"Thank you." The woman thanked her, solemnly took the chestnut cake and gave it to the little boy, and said softly: "An'er, thank your sister quickly, and you will repay your sister well in the future." ”

The little boy respectfully saluted Fei'er, and said crisply: "My name is Yuan Shi'an, dare to ask my sister what to call me?" ”

Fei'er smiled, a pair of small dimples were exceptionally sweet, and the little person was blessed, and said, "My name is Zhou Fei, and my brother calls me Fei'er." ”

Lin Taohua watched the pair of children return the salute to each other, and wanted to laugh inexplicably. The immaturity of the children eased the not very friendly atmosphere a lot.

Lin Taohua took the opportunity to say to Xiahou Yue: "General, you see that they are all people who have suffered from disasters, and nothing major has happened, so it is better to stop there, let Boss Su add some stools, add some food, and let everyone have a good meal." ”

"Exactly, they are all the people under the rule of the prefect, who has not had a disaster and no difficulty, I will let people rearrange some food and entertain the villagers in Xialin County." Su Jinquan seconded.

Xiahou Yue naturally did not embarrass these villagers who had already suffered from the disaster, nodded and led everyone back to the private room.

Lin Taohua pushed Zhou Ming, Zhou Ming looked down at her eyes dripping, and said with a smile: "What good idea did the lady think of again?" ”

Lin Taohua covered her mouth and smiled, and said to Zhou Ming: "Brother Ming, these people have no livelihood, seeing that the sky is about to get cold, it is not a way to sleep on the streets and beg everywhere. We have made a lot of money recently, I want to quickly renovate the family's house, it is when we need manpower, you go and ask the leading man, see if he is willing to build a house for us, we will eat and live, as for the salary, I don't know the salary of this yet, Brother Ming looks at it. ”

Zhou Ming smiled mildly and said, "Peach blossom heart charity, I naturally want to fulfill it, you go to entertain guests, I'll talk to that big brother." ”
