Chapter 134: Ning County is not at peace
When Ye Changchuan and his wife saw it, they hurriedly shook their heads and waved their hands: "No need Xiao Mu, we are not cold, we don't need it at all!" ”
"Daddy, it's just a piece of clothing, let's keep out the cold for the time being, and we won't wear it out for others, what are you afraid of?" Ye Yun'er pouted and persuaded.
The two of them couldn't say anything, but in the end, they didn't dare to put the seemingly expensive mink coat and rat fur coat on their bodies, feeling that with their own identity, they really didn't deserve to wear this.
But Ye Yun'er's light and breezy appearance fell in the eyes of everyone, but they couldn't help but suspect that she must have lived in a rich nest for the first half of her life.
After eating the game that Ling Feng and others had called, some people went back to sleep in the tent one after another, and some people went to take over the patrolling guards.
There were only two left around the bonfire, Mu Yihan and Ye Yun'er.
Mu Yihan was a little hesitant at this time, and asked in a deep voice, "Why don't you ride the sleigh with me?" Are you still afraid that I won't be able to eat you? ”
Ye Yun'er couldn't imagine that Mu Yihan would be obsessed with such a trivial matter, and couldn't help but smile: "I can't imagine that our dignified little Mu Da also has such a careful time?" ”
A slight flush welled up on Mu Yihan's face, and he quickly returned to normal.
He exuded a cold air and said no more.
Ye Yun'er didn't know how to explain it, so she had to bow her head and fiddle with the bonfire, silent and silent.
The two were silent for a long time, and Mu Yihan changed the topic before breaking the awkward silence.
"The capital is mixed with people, and it is even more treacherous, are you ready to go to the capital this time?"
Ye Yun'er raised her eyebrows slightly, and said with a smile: "Little Mu, didn't you swear that you would always protect us?" Yes, I'm not afraid at all. ”
This calm trust and reliance made Mu Yihan's chest warm, and his face looked a little better.
"When you go to the capital, you have to teach me the pas de deux you once taught me." Mu Yi opened his mouth coldly.
Ye Yun'er didn't expect Mu Yihan to remember that they were in the cave at this time, and she taught him to dance.
At that time, it was just a whim for her, wanting to use this to kill the boredom, but it seemed that Mu Yihan was very interested in it.
"No problem." Ye Yun'er agreed casually, with a smile on her face, even when she saw this dead and dreary night, she couldn't help but glow with vitality.
After two days in a row, the group arrived at the boundary of Zhongzhou and saw that they were about to go to Ning County.
But dozens of miles away from Ning County, they found that there were many starving people on the side of the road, and the further they went, the more they increased, and they were all starved all over the ground, and the corpses were all over the field.
Only then did everyone feel that this Ning County was not peaceful.
Outside the county gate, they saw that the victims had surrounded the place, shouting loudly at the closed gate, or begging with wailing, and they understood something for a while.
They are all flesh and bones, holding rice bowls in their hands like beggars, obviously lacking food and begging for it in the county.
A woman kept pushing and shoving the child on the ground, tears like rain, like mourning, "Child, wake up, my mother is about to find food, you hold on for a while......"
Ye Yun'er couldn't help but feel sad, and infinite desolation welled up in her chest.
She didn't understand why Qingfeng County encountered this kind of disaster, and the first thing she thought of was to open a warehouse to release grain and give porridge to the people. When there is no food, they will also write to the court for help, so that the common people will not starve to death. It's a different scene entirely?
Is it because the county order here is not good, or is the court unwilling to issue relief food to them?
Why didn't Mu Yihan think so?
He frowned slightly, and asked people to step forward and find a way to hand his name tag to the guard.
Ling Feng saw that the door couldn't be knocked on, so he simply shouted inside: "The Lord Qincha sent by the emperor is coming, don't you open the door either?" ”
When the people inside heard this, they were horrified, and hurriedly ran to the county government without touching the ground and told the county magistrate to go.
The county magistrate of Ning County is surnamed Rubing, but he is in his early thirties, and he is in his own house, under the service of his young and beautiful concubine, while enjoying the singing and dancing, while enjoying the table full of delicacies, jade liquid elixir.
He was a little displeased when he saw that someone came to report in a panic, but when he heard that a minister had come here, this Lord Qincha still called himself "Little Mu Lord", so he suddenly got up and threw the concubine away.
The concubine rubbed her sore shoulder, and pouted hesitantly: "Master, there are so many adults in your court to rely on, where do you need to be afraid of whom?" Look at what you are anxious about, isn't it going to be underestimated? ”
"There is someone in my court, I shouldn't be afraid of him, but I ......" Zhang Rubing was still frowning, and couldn't stretch out, "This person's surname is a royal surname, if it is not the prince's son and grandson, it should also be a royal relative." Such a person, even the prime minister, would not dare to offend him easily. ”
The concubine nodded clearly, and the little bird snuggled up to him again, smiling sweetly, "Don't worry, adults, just make a show and send him away." The rest of the food is reserved for us to eat, and you must not give it all out to those who have nothing to do with it? ”
"You, just thinking about your mother's family," Zhang Rubing hooked the tip of the concubine's delicate nose.
"What about me, doesn't the master also want to make a profit and make a few more money?" The concubine said bluntly.
Seeing Mo Rubing's face elongated, she hurriedly added with a smile, "But the concubine also knows that the money earned by the master has been used on us, and it is too late for the concubine to be grateful." ”
"It's good to know." Zhang Rubing said as a matter of course, sat down leisurely again, and instructed the people below: "Go, give porridge in the city, so that the people in the city will no longer complain." It's just the people out there who are complaining...... Where they were originally, let them go back and wait, don't come to the city to disturb the peace of Lord Ben. ”
After ordering this side, Zhang Rubing asked someone to invite Mu Yihan and others into the city.
When Mu Yihan and the others entered the city, the homeless people were crazy and wanted to squeeze into the city gate, but they were forcibly stopped by the guards guarding them.
When they entered the city, they took a carriage instead.
Ye Yun'er saw that there was a place for soup soup in the center of the city, and the people clinged to the bowls one after another, forming a long queue, eager to get a piece of the pie, and the resentment in her heart about the county order in her heart disappeared.
But those talkative words drifted into her ears with the wind, making her frown tightened again.
"This county commander is very merciful today, could it be that he can't bear it when he sees nearly half of the people in the city starving to death?"
"The remaining relief food has finally arrived in our hands, but I don't know how many days such a good day will last!"
"Those people outside are not as lucky as us, they can't even eat this little food, so they all starve to death?"
“……”
The county master was willing to make porridge when he learned that Mu Yihan was coming?
is so not concerned about people's livelihood, how can such parents and officials win the hearts of the people?
