Chapter 51: Can't Be Quiet
"Hurry up! Hurry up! ”
At that time, the famine in Taohua Town, the economy was stagnant, and there were no merchants at the shore mouth, except for a few official ships parked, only a few officials were stationed to supervise the workers, and the bags of goods were transported to the warehouse.
Yan Du and Wei Huan, who were hiding in the shadows, looked at it for a while, and after she remembered the location of the warehouse, she finally said loudly: "Brother Wei, what do you say these goods are?" ”
Wei Huan glanced at Yan Du and asked knowingly!
"Grain."
"yes!" Yan Du didn't look at the tightly hidden warehouse, turned his head to stare at Wei Huan, his eyes were cold: "Hundreds of acres of official grain, day and night, have been transported to the stomach of this official." ”
Wei Huan's expression was uncertain, and when he saw Yan Duan's cold face, he couldn't help but shudder in his heart: "The little magistrate doesn't dare to swallow this official grain privately, do you know who the official in charge of this disaster relief is?" ”
Of course, Yan Du also wanted to get it, and the magistrate of Peach Blossom Town had the courage to do so, and he didn't dare to touch the food relief from the imperial court, and there must be a greater force behind the scenes.
"Who is it?"
"The nephew of the Empress Dowager Bai, the son of Bai Kangcheng, the secretary of the household department, and the minister Bai Yuanwei." Wei Huan had a sarcastic smile in the corner of his eyes, embezzling the funds for disaster relief and bereavement, committing the crime of defrauding the king, and it should be killed without mercy, but now the minister is the cousin of the current saint, which is another matter.
"Officials and officials defend each other, no officials are not greedy, the magistrate of Peach Blossom Town has Bai Yuanwei's big backer, of course he dares to be domineering."
Not anyone dares to make an article on these payments, but Bai Yuanwei is different, he is related to Ying Hui, his father is still the brother of the White Queen, he dares to be greedy, and he knows that no one dares to sue.
Listening to Wei Huan's words, Yan Du paused in her heart, she didn't understand that at that time, Uncle Guo's mansion was so easy to overthrow, largely because the Li family itself had a conflict of interest with Emperor Hui's throne, and Ying Hui would definitely take advantage of the victory to pursue and crush the Li family to the point that he could never turn over.
Bai Yuanwei is a big tiger, and the magistrate of Peach Blossom Town is a little tiger, why shouldn't she go back to Wu Song and beat these two tigers to the ground.
"Wei Huan, you said I killed both of them, what would happen?"
Yan Du clenched the sword in her hand, and her eyes were not as solemn as her age, not as bright as a chivalrous man, but with the fierceness and harshness of an assassin.
"Does it work?" Seeing such words, Wei Huan was of course surprised, but if he asked his heart, can killing two corrupt officials change the status quo of Peach Blossom Town?
"No official is not greedy, can you ensure that the next person to take over is a good official who is really good to the people?"
He pointed to the workers who carried the goods in the bright place, and his voice was faint: "Corrupt officials are in charge, conspiring with profiteers to raise the price of grain, and hundreds of acres of grain are left to rot in the warehouse." ”
"Do you think these workers don't know in their hearts?"
Hearing this, Yan Du looked in the direction pointed by Wei Huan, the workers with two large bags of rice on their backs, leaning on their backs, stomped step by step, their bodies were already sweating profusely, but they didn't care about it completely, their ears were full of yacha's scolding, and they were already accustomed to it, their eyes had no light, like numb gears, and all their thinking was stifled on the wages that couldn't even afford a pound of rice.
This is the real one, Zhumen's wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road!
"Zhumen's wine and meat stink, and the official family is happy to see it. There are frozen bones on the road, and the people are unconscious. Yan Du stared at the scene in front of her, and after a long time, she was awakened by Wei Huan who was standing beside her, still with those big hands, gently caressing the top of her head.
"Let's go back!"
——
There weren't many things to buy in the town, so the two of them finally bought some, and it was nearly dusk when they brought back the peach blossom view.
Shizuhiko knew that the price of grain in the town had increased greatly, and he also sighed, but he still beat his spirit and called on everyone to work hard and be self-reliant.
Yan Du bit a big white steamed bun, and he couldn't eat anything, but chewed out a bitterness. What can the yellow-skinned victims in the town eat at this moment?
"Still thinking about the day?"
Wei Huan was eating steamed buns while holding a book, and walked into Yan Dui's house, and when he saw her soulless appearance, he knew that she was still nostalgic.
Think about yourself, after walking all these roads, you have met hungry people, ill-intentioned people, and people who have eyes for money, but you didn't expect to meet a young man who dared to kill officials and was willing to worry about the common people.
That day in the tea shop, he already knew that he didn't have much silver left, and he had the intention of going home, but by mistake, he met such a Li Fu.
Yan Du glanced at Wei Huan, he thought more clearly than himself, he was willing to help everyone who took the initiative to ask him for help, but he couldn't help the people in the entire Peach Blossom Town, because the power of one person was too small, if she really wanted Yan Du to help one by one, then I don't know what year and month.
Only by making the refugees aware of their plight and who is responsible for this plight can we help them.
"That's right!" Yan Du thought of a little, and hurriedly swallowed the last bite of steamed buns, and ran straight to the courtyard of Shizuhiko.
"Hey, where are you going?" Wei Huan asked confusedly at Yan Dui's back.
"Borrow pen and paper!"
After a sentence without a beginning or an end, Yan Dui's figure disappeared into Wei Huan's eyes.
The night was thick, the moon and stars were scarce, and a small figure quietly came out of the wall from the peach blossom view, and the quiet real person who was sitting quietly in the temple, his eyes were still closed, but a pair of ears moved slightly, and the breath that was tiny than a gust of wind did not interrupt the "Qingjing Sutra" that she muttered.
"There is clarity and turbidity, movement and stillness; The sky is clear and turbid, the sky is moving and the earth is quiet; Men are clear and women are turbid, men are moving and women are quiet; Reduce the cost to the end, and give birth to all things. The clear, the source of turbidity, the moving, the base of stillness; People can always be quiet, and heaven and earth will return. ”
Overnight, a piece of black and white letters full of the sins of corrupt officials and the position of the granary were pasted all over the official entrance of Peach Blossom Town, the notice wall, the rice shop, and the streets and alleys.
"Embezzlement of the imperial court's grain relief, collusion with profiteers to raise prices, corruption in Peach Blossom Town, Benzhi County's grass frying people's lives, shore grain silos are hundreds of acres, and the people know the truth at a glance!"
The night covered the figure of the young man, the cold night was sandwiched with water droplets, dripping on the ragged hungry people, the bowl with a broken hole, a white paper and black letters, is it useful?
Ask the sky, the sky should not, ask the earth, the earth ignores. Ask the Son of Heaven, but the Son of Heaven will not listen. Ask the scholars, but the scholars don't know. Bitter a peach blossom town, bitter a big heng.
Wei Huan, who couldn't sleep at night, wore plain clothes, walked to the open window, the moonlight was still pure white, everything in the world has a price, only this round of moonlight is priceless, only the pure heart in my heart is priceless.
Shinong industry and commerce, businessmen are the subordinates, even if he Wei's pile up gold and jade, what about the rich armor Tao Zhu? Saved many people in the world? I'm afraid it's hard to protect myself!
He wants to enter the office, not for power, not for profit, just to face this sorrow again, not as powerless as now!
——
"Li Fu, Li Fu!" Monk Shizuhiko hurried to the backyard early in the morning to find Yan Dui, so that she was not surprised when she was freshening up, and hurriedly put on her clothes and opened the door to ask people what was the matter.
"Silence the real person called you over!"
Yan Du was quite surprised, she lived in Peach Blossom Temple these days, and Jing Jue Zhenren had always ignored her, why was it abnormal today, could it be that she finally figured it out and wanted to sell the "truth" to her?!
She rushed to the main temple, but saw that Jing Jue Zhenren was still sitting quietly in front of the white porcelain Guanyin, silent and silent.
"Real person, are you looking for me?" Twilight slowly walked behind her and asked cautiously.
Hearing the voice, he opened his clear eyes and said quietly: "All sentient beings who do not know the truth are delusional. If you have a delusional heart, you will be shocked; and astonished his God, that is, all things; All things are born of greed; That is, greed is trouble. Troubled and delusional, distressed body and mind. But he was humiliated. Wandering life and death, often sinking into the sea of suffering, and never losing the truth. ”
Tao Te Ching? Yan Du stared at Jing Jue Zhenren suspiciously, calling himself over, just to chant a Taoist scripture?
"Now go to town and tell me everything you see!"
The words of the real person were quiet and empty, thoughtless and desireless, but it made Yan Dui's heart tremble slightly, did the real person know what he did last night?
Impossible, could it be that she really cultivated and became an immortal?
"Look, what are you looking at?" Twilight felt like her tongue was going to tie up when she talked to her.
"Everything! Restlessness, fear, annoyance, anger, greed. The real person replied.
Yan Dui's expression suddenly became solemn, and a feeling of difficulty breathing came from all around, and the few conversations with Jing Jue real people gave her invisible oppression each time.
"Good!" This time, she was unusual, instead of spreading her legs and running away as before, she slowly walked out of the temple and walked out of the peach blossom view, until she reached the town where she shuttled wantonly last night.
I saw a child in ragged clothes, with her emaciated shoulders shrunk and her eyes staring blankly at the complaint she had pasted last night, and I didn't know if I understood it, so she stood on tiptoe and reached out to tear the white paper.
Yan Du looked at the child's actions in surprise, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Why are you tearing this paper?" ”
When the child heard someone's voice, he was stunned for a moment, and said as if reading silently: "My mother said that this is a harmful thing, and it will cause us to be arrested by the county master, so that we will tear it up as soon as we see it." ”
Yan Dui's black and white eyes were full of disbelief, her words were harmful things?!
She wants to help them!
An inexplicable anger ignited in her heart, and she continued on the road in despair, all the places where she had pasted the paper the night before were torn to pieces, leaving scraps of paper on the ground covered with black ink.
What went wrong? She began to understand the words of the real person, "Greed is trouble." Troubled delusions, sorrowful body and mind" turned out to be her own!
Is it because she is greedy to help everyone, so she is troubled? So, don't think, don't do, don't help, do nothing, what's the best?
She stood in the place of yesterday's granary, the whole granary door was open, the yacha had removed the locks, and the bags of rice were neatly stacked, but the surroundings were quiet, and no one dared to come to check, and no one dared to come and get the grain that belonged to them.
For some reason, she suddenly laughed, and Jing Zhen was really right.
Look at all this, look at the insecurity and terror of this numb people, look at the troubles and anger in their hearts, look at all this farce created by greed!
This Peach Blossom Town must not be quiet! Because she's angry!!
"Jing Jue Zhenren, you call me quiet and inactive, I am not ordinary, I am arrogant, I don't set off a storm, how can I become an immortal!"
