Chapter 259: King Chu Makes a Move
It was another day's journey, and in the evening we arrived in a small county town. Originally, Shangguan Xun wanted to find an ordinary inn to rest, but Yuwenjing was not used to breaking the place, so he took the most luxurious inn in the city.
Shangguan Yan persuaded: "Is Your Highness's move too ostentatious?" We have to rush to the disaster area as soon as possible, if this is known by the officials here, come up and pester it, and we must not delay the trip? ”
"Sister Yan doesn't need to worry, it'll be fine, don't worry." Yuwen Jinghuai patted his chest and said, "Although we are out to help the disaster, we don't have to wronged ourselves, and we will definitely not miss a big event." ”
As he spoke, he turned around and hugged Chu Yue'an's shoulder: "That's good, this king is wronged, let's live in a room with you." ”
"Your Highness has chartered a whole inn, and there will be a shortage of rooms in it?" Chu Yue'an said, "Your Highness doesn't have to wronged yourself, not to mention that I'm not used to living with people." ”
"How can you say that this king and you are familiar at first sight, how about we sleep at night and have a long talk?" Yuwen Jinghuai smiled, "Aren't you a scholar, I think I have a lot of ambitions in my chest, and this king should listen to your opinions." ”
"I'm just afraid that I will live up to the good intentions of the prince." Shangguan Xun pulled Chu Yue'an to his side, "Gongzi Li is my friend, I should treat him well, I had a long talk with Gongzi Li last night, and there are still many things that have not been finished, we have to continue to talk tonight." ”
"Shangguan Xun, are you going to rob this king?" Yuwen Jinghuai grabbed Chu Yue'an's other arm.
"Thank you both for your kindness." Chu Yue'an pulled out his two hands, "I'm used to sleeping alone, and I don't like to be disturbed by others." ”
According to Yuwen Jinghuai's nonsense, Chu Yue'an can be sure that this guy should recognize him at this moment, but as long as he doesn't know what to say, this scene has to be played.
In fact, after entering this county, I obviously felt that there were more homeless people here, and at this time, I only watched some officials grab a few homeless people, and that person cried and begged for mercy, hoping to let them live.
At this time, the people on the side began to discuss: "O iniquity, you said that they finally escaped with great difficulty, and they want to send people back, why bother! ”
"You can't ask these people to go to the capital, think about it, the more people who go to the capital, doesn't it mean that the disaster is not well managed, if Your Majesty is angry, it will kill that official, in order to keep his official uniform, he has to black his conscience."
"But our county is not in the disaster area, why should the county lord cut off people's livelihood?"
"You're stupid, officials protect each other."
"Poor thing, it's said that a lot of people died over there!"
"Who's to say it isn't!"
Yuwen Jinghuai glanced at Sui Feng behind him, nodded with the wind, and flew in front of those officers and soldiers with an arrow step, and said coldly: "Let the people go." ”
"Where did you get a nosy man!" The official asked, "I don't want to live anymore, do I?" Brothers, arrest him together and put him in prison! ”
When the words fell, several officials came up together to arrest people, but where were these people opponents with the wind, but they swept all the people to the ground with three punches and two kicks.
The official felt that he had encountered a hard stubble, and said cruelly while escaping: "Boy, you wait for me!" Wait! ”
"Okay, I'll just wait here." Said coldly with the wind.
Several homeless people were saved, knelt on the ground and thanked Suifeng for saving his life, Suifeng hurriedly took a step back, and said, "I can't afford all the great gifts, I'm just acting on orders." ”
Yuwen Jinghuai waved his hand and said, "You all get up, go in and eat something!" ”
The homeless people kowtowed to Yuwen Jinghuai, and said that they were about to go to the inn, and the innkeeper naturally didn't want to let these homeless people enter and affect the quality of the inn, after all, this is the best inn in the whole county, and a few little two stopped at the door.
The shopkeeper smiled and said: "This son, the small shop is also a small business, so many beggars have entered, how will the small shop do business in the future?" ”
Yuwen Jinghuai's eyes were cold: "What do you mean?" Do you not understand what Ben Gongzi said? Since this inn has been chartered by Ben Gongzi, then it is up to Ben Gongzi to decide here. Go and prepare food and drinks for them, so that they can eat and drink. ”
When his words fell, Sui Feng took out a gold ingot from his bosom and threw it to the shopkeeper: "You are indispensable." ”
The shopkeeper happily put away the gold ingots, asked Xiao Er to get out of the way, and invited a few homeless people in.
Shangguan Yan didn't expect Yuwen Jinghuai to suddenly be nosy, and wanted to go up and say something, but Shangguan Xun pulled him, shook his head gently, and said with a light smile: "It's okay, let him be." ”
Several homeless people were invited in, and Yuwen Jinghuai glanced at Chu Yue'an: "Let's go in too, I haven't eaten well for a day, and you're hungry." ”
Yuwen Jinghuai and his party also entered, sat down, and the shopkeeper knew that this group of people were all God of Wealth, and hurriedly and warmly entertained them.
After a while, the food on both sides came up, and these homeless people begged and fled for their lives all the way since their hometown was hit by the disaster.
Seeing this, Shangguan Yan couldn't bear it, and said loudly: "Don't rob it, there is more!" Let Xiao Er bring the dishes on their table as well.
At this time, an old man knelt down and kowtowed to several people: "Living Bodhisattva, you are all living Bodhisattva!" You are all good people, and you will be rewarded. ”
As he spoke, the other homeless people also knelt down and kowtowed, and Yuwen Jinghuai sighed: "Don't thank you, you eat first, the court is already trying its best to relieve the disaster, and you will be able to return to your hometown soon." ”
After a while, I saw several officials rushing in, and then the county lord wearing official clothes entered.
The homeless people were so frightened that they fell to their knees and did not dare to eat any more.
The official who was beaten before pointed to Suifeng and said, "My lord, he was the one who injured us." ”
The county magistrate was furious, glared at the wind and shouted: "Who are you, you dare to obstruct the official to handle the case, you are impatient!" ”
"You're such a powerful official." Yuwen Jinghuai stared coldly at the county master.
"Bold, don't kneel down when you see an adult!" The official shouted.
Yuwen Jinghuai smiled: "It's not that I don't kneel, it's that I'm afraid that he will lose his life if he accepts my kneeling!" ”
"Presumptuous! Since you dare to defy this official! The county lord shouted, "Come on, arrest this bold fanatic to this official!" ”
With that, the two officials rushed towards Yuwen Jinghuai.
Sui Feng jumped forward, kicked the two officials away, and then took out a token from his arms, and looked at the county lord coldly: "Open your dog's eyes, see clearly!" ”
There was a word "Chu" written on this token, and the county lord's face changed, and he hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed: "I don't know that His Royal Highness the King of Chu is coming, and if you miss the distance, Your Highness will forgive your sins!" ”
Hearing this, the hula in this room knelt on the ground.
Yuwen Jinghuai looked at the county master and asked in a cold voice: "Since these disaster victims have come to your small county, you should be giving soup to help them, why do you want to expel them all back to the disaster area?" ”
"This ......," the county magistrate said embarrassedly, "the lower official is also acting on orders." ”
"On whose orders?" Yuwen Jinghuai asked.
"Your Excellency's order." The county magistrate said, "In Liuzhou, no displaced people are allowed to cross the border to the capital. ”
"He only said that he was not allowed to cross the border, but he didn't say that you would be forced to die, right?"
"Death?" The county magistrate was taken aback, "No, the lower officials don't have the courage to take people's lives, is there any misunderstanding in this?" ”
"Misunderstanding?" Yuwen Jinghuai snorted, "What is a misunderstanding?" These people have finally escaped from the disaster area, and you want to drive them back, don't you want them to die? Who gave you the guts! Are you worthy of the title of your parental officer? ”
"The lower official is guilty!" The county magistrate wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, "The lower official is guilty." ”
"Now that you are guilty, do you know what to do?" Yuwen Jinghuai asked.
"This ......"
"Since I have come to you, you have to save the lives of these displaced people, open warehouses to release grain, set up sheds for soup kitchen, and build a few more resettlement sites, so that they can have a place to settle down and wait for the news of disaster relief ahead." Yuwen Jinghuai said coldly.
"This ......," the county magistrate hesitated a little, "this county is remote, I'm afraid there won't be so much food for the victims to eat." ”
"You think of it yourself." Yuwen Jinghuai said coldly, "There must be a solid family in this county, you go to borrow some food, and when the disaster relief food from the court arrives, you can return it back, the way is up to you, there is only one way, if you starve to death here, this king wants you to look good!" ”
"Yes!" The county lord wiped the sweat from his forehead, "The lower officials will definitely do their best." ”
When the homeless people heard this, they thanked Yuwen Jinghuai for his life-saving grace, and Yuwen Jinghuai said lightly: "It is the county master who should kowtow, and in the next few days, he will be your food and clothing parents." ”
Everyone hurriedly walked towards the county lord, and the county lord dared to accept it, and hurriedly told everyone to get up.
"Don't just kowtow, you should eat, drink, and wait for news here." Yuwen Jinghuai said.
Shangguan Yan asked with some concern: "Brother, there is nothing wrong with His Royal Highness the King of Chu's move, right?" ”
Shangguan Xun shook his head: "No matter what, Your Highness has saved the lives of these people, and even more so the lives of the displaced people who have been exiled to this county." Since it is saving people, what it is doing is a good thing. ”
Chu Yue'an also glanced at Yuwen Jinghuai deeply, and became more and more suspicious of what was the motive of this person coming here? He made such a show, obviously to offend the local officials, and I don't know whether Sun Liangpeng is involved with the local officials, he is only afraid that he will not be all the way with Sun Liangpeng when he does this, so what does he want to do here?
