Chapter 144: Bold

"Mother, this porridge is so thick, it tastes good, you can taste it." The child's soft and glutinous voice reached the ears of Mu Chenmo and Qi Yu.

The two people in the courtyard looked at each other and walked into the house, and the woman who had been rescued looked at the child with a bowl of porridge with a loving and guilty face.

The child was very sensible and drank two sips, and when he saw that his mother didn't drink it, he also put the bowl on the table, biting his fingers and blinking at her with big eyes.

His eyes kept glancing at the porridge in the crockpot on the table, and he didn't understand why there was so much porridge, and his mother didn't drink it, and when he saw Mu Chenmo and Qi Yu, he nodded as if he understood the little adult.

walked over to the two of them: "Two brothers, did you save me and my mother?" There is porridge on the table, which is boiled by the shopkeeper of the pharmacy, but it is fragrant, let's drink it together. ”

Holding Mu Chenmo with his left hand, and holding Qi Yu with his right hand, he walked to the table, and the temperature of his little palm was hot with a soldering iron burning Mu Chenmo and Qi Yu's hearts.

Such a sensible, intelligent and kind child almost never woke up.

The woman got up and was about to salute them, but Mu Chenmo supported her: "Sister-in-law, where did you flee from?" ”

"In Wei County in the north, there was a locust plague there, and we ate all the grain in the field."

Qi Yu couldn't help but speak: "Don't you care about being an official?" ”

The woman shook her head and said no more, no matter how Mu Chenmo and Qi Yu asked, the woman began to shed tears when she was in a hurry, and the child wiped her tears sensibly.

Mu Chenmo, who clenched his fists, pressed the fire in his heart again and again, it was because of the weakness and cowardice of these people that the local officials would cover the sky with one hand, and let the disaster become their cash cow.

In the past few days, the refugees in the capital have been mixed with for a long time, and Mu Chenmo found that the refugees who came from the flood and drought were far less than the locust plague, so that the dark department carefully inquired about the viciousness of the local officials.

She and Qi Yu want to take advantage of the situation, but it doesn't mean that they can sit idly by and ignore the suffering people, there is such a loss of conscience, how can she Mu Chenmo open her mouth and ask the people of the world to donate silver to them.

A person who looks honest and upright can find 200,000 silver, I really don't know what the situation will be with other officials, and I don't know if the emperor knows about this.

"Mother don't cry, let's go, ignore these bad people." The child looked at Mu Chenmo and Qi Yu angrily.

I don't understand why the person who just saved himself and his mother made his mother cry, they must have bullied his mother, just like the little tiger in the village bullying himself.

"Smack." The woman slapped the child on the buttocks.

The child cried wow, wow, wow.

Mu Chenmo, who watched it, was only distressed, hugged the child and coaxed him in a low voice, Qi Yu took out a candy from the beggar's suit like a trick, and the child burst into tears and laughed when he ate it.

Let the little medicine boy take the child to play, Mu Chenmo looked at the woman disapprovingly: "Can beating the child solve the problem, can I let you go home?" ”

The woman's eyes widened incredulously, and she looked at Qi Yu and Mu Chenmo with trepidation, although these two people were wearing tattered clothes, they had a full body bearing, how could they be covered up by a pair of torn clothes.

She is not blind so she doesn't dare to say it, she is afraid, afraid that those officials will kill all her father-in-law and mother-in-law, those people said that as long as they go to Beijing, they will let them meet when the emperor allocates money.

Seeing the woman's scruples, Mu Chenmo was anxious, and the people in the dark department only heard that the officials forced the suffering people to go to Beijing, but they hadn't found out what the specific means were.

After shuttling among the refugees for three days, Mu Chenmo found that they were extremely wary, no matter how you talked, they didn't say anything, just wandered the streets and alleys of the capital every day.

She felt that there must be a leader-like person in command of these refugees from the north, and everyone in the dark part of the capital had already mixed in, but they hugged very tightly and were super wary of strangers.

Su Li pushed the bowl of porridge in front of the woman: "Drink, only after drinking can you have the strength to take care of the child, your child is too young, I won't accept it here." ”

With tears in her eyes, the woman picked up the porridge bowl and drank it in one gulp after another, and the cheerful laughter of the two children outside came in.

When the woman put down the bowl and was about to get up to leave, the fire in Mu Chenmo's stomach finally broke out, and she grabbed the woman's shoulders with both hands.

"You will only make the wicked more evil, and let the good people slowly be killed, why can't you stand up and expose them, you are all at the feet of the emperor in the capital, as long as you sue the emperor, can they still be so rampant?"

The woman's body shook with Mu Chenmo's movements, and the angry Mu Chenmo really wanted to slap her twice and sober her brain.

looked at the strings of tears: "Cry, if crying can make the locusts die, and let the officials who forced you out receive the punishment they deserve, I will cry with you." ”

The choked sound stopped, the woman's eyes widened in horror, and she stared at Mu Chenmo like a ghost, Qi Yu and Su Li glanced at each other.

Su Li stepped forward, took a few people to a hidden hut in the backyard, took the door and turned around and went out.

"Who are you, and how do you know these things?" The woman trembled with horror.

Mu Chenmo knew that if she continued to hide it, she was afraid that this woman would retract again: "I am the Seventh Princess, and I am also the General Mu who repelled the Huns for the second time." ”

"He is the seventh prince of the dynasty." His hand went straight to Qi Yu and looked back at the woman: "If you think we can't vindicate your grievances, then I don't think anyone can do it." ”

The woman immediately knelt on the ground, and the people in the north didn't know that General Mu, the young general, the general dressed as a man, beat the Hun Tartars to fear.

Mu Chenmo stretched out his hand to help the woman kneeling on the ground, but was stopped by Qi Yu.

The woman sat on her knees and told the story with tears in her eyes.

"Damn, they're not people." Mu Chenmo slammed his fist against the wall.

The woman kowtowed to the two: "Seventh Prince, General Mu asks you to save those who have been imprisoned by officials." ”

"Is this the case in every family in your village, detaining the old man and forcing the young one to beg in Beijing."

The woman nodded at Mu Chenmo, the whole Wei County is like this, the father and mother were detained, and the local officials promised to take care of these old people during their time in Beijing, so that everyone would not starve to death.

"Do you know where they're keeping these old men?" Qi Yu asked.

I remembered the news from the north, all of them were ten rooms and nine empty, and according to the woman, almost every family had old people, but what about them.

The woman's emotions began to stir: "Aren't they at home? Those in charge said that they would send food to their homes every seven days. ”

The faces of the three of them turned pale, Mu Chenmo rushed out of the door, Qi Yu asked the woman to get up, let her live in the hospital recently, no matter what happened, ask Dr. Su first, he agreed to do it.

Quickly rushed back to the palace, Mu Chenmo immediately sent a message to the spies in the north of the dark department, and quickly found out where the detainees were.

Qi Yu rushed to the study, and saw Mu Chenmo angrily turning around in circles and scolding in his mouth: "The bastard who was struck by lightning is a ...... in vain."

Lifted the kettle and gave a cup of cold tea to the person who circled, watched her finish drinking, and held the person in his arms.

"Mo'er, do you feel that the fire in your heart has gone down?"

Mu Chenmo nodded: "Qi Yu, you said that this kind of person with a human face and a beast's heart can still be an official, can the quality of the article represent a person's character?" ”

Qi Yu shook his head, sighed, and whispered to comfort the restless Mu Chenmo, how could she understand the ugliness of human nature if she was so clear about good and evil.

"Qi Yu, I'm going to the north to personally capture those beasts."

Looking at Mu Chenmo's undeniable gaze, Qi Yu rejected her proposal with difficulty, and now the officials in the court are staring at them, ready to blame their faults, how can they leave easily.

"Qi Yu, do you dare to go out with me for a few tricks."

Mu Chenmo stood up from Qi Yu's arms and beckoned to Qi Yu.

Knocking out his teeth has to be swallowed in his stomach, no matter how unwilling Qi Yu is, he has to nod and agree, who let him marry a general's daughter-in-law.

If you don't have a few tricks with her, let her let out the resentment in her heart, I really don't know what she can do, everyone else is sacrificing his life to accompany the gentleman, and he Qi Yu sacrificed his life to accompany his daughter-in-law.

The most important thing is that Mo'er is reluctant to really beat him, even if he really beats him, he can't beat him.
