135 No return
"It's really over, Mr. can actually go back to the county tomorrow."
Chu Mufeng personally sent Taishi Hu away.
Master Hu watched Chu Mufeng grow up since he was a child, even if he left for seven years, he couldn't see what ideas he was making in his heart.
He never thought that the champion Lang he had worked so hard to educate would fall in love with a country girl.
It's just a country girl, she is still an arrogant and domineering country woman.
Vulgar and rude, ignorant of the rules. She is also so partial and defending.
Why, exactly?
Master Hu couldn't figure it out, if it weren't for something going back, she would definitely not leave early today.
But he was not idle before leaving, "You also hurry up and pack your luggage, and I will send someone to pick you up in two days."
"Sir, are you in too much of a hurry. I haven't arranged this side yet......"
"What else is here?" Master Hu said disapprehantly, "If there is really anything, there is no hurry to clean it up slowly when the time comes." ”
"Didn't the gentleman come here for disaster relief this time? This time, Pingyang County was hit by a disaster, and I am afraid that it will not be over for a while and a half. ”
"You have been away from Kyoto for seven years, and there are some things that you don't know for a while, and I don't blame you. But you should know today's temper, do you think, the old man is really here for disaster relief this time? ”
"What do you mean, sir?" It's not disaster relief, why did the prime minister and Mr. come.
Is such a big battle just to hide people's eyes?
"In the border pass, the Chu family army has always been guarding the town. Seven years ago, General Chu was beheaded, the Chu family was copied, and the Chu family army was gone. ”
"In the past seven years, although Russell has guarded the border, you should know her ability."
"In just seven years, the imperial court doesn't know how many times the land has been ceded and reparated, and now the ambitions of the people in the Northern Zhou Dynasty are getting bigger and bigger, and the small favors of the imperial court can no longer satisfy their appetite, and this battle is inevitable."
"So the emperor is storing grain for a war at the border."
"Yes, in recent years, the harvest has not been good everywhere, and the treasury is empty. Plus defeat every year, compensation every year. The imperial court is simply powerless. ”
"This time, the emperor is also powerless. That's where this strategy comes in. ”
"Mu Feng, the old man is talking to you so much to tell you that we will return to Beijing soon, and you must prepare as soon as possible."
Seeing off Master Hu, Chu Mufeng took Xiao Jiu and walked back, and Xiao Jiu's mood was not very good.
During this time, Xiao Jiu didn't get along with the children in the village very much.
But there are also a few familiar ones that come and go.
During this time, life in the village was not easy, and the boy who had a good relationship with Xiao Jiu was often hungry.
Sometimes, in order to get the family to eat a little more, they deliberately go hungry and say that they are full.
After that, I went to the mountains to look for something. But now everyone's life is not good. What can there be to eat in the mountains.
Watching my brother lose weight day by day. , Xiao Jiu didn't have any way.
When he heard that his grandfather was coming, he was happy for a long time.
I thought to myself, I can finally wait for the relief food, so that even if everyone still can't eat, at least they won't go hungry.
But in the end, what awaited was empty joy.
He didn't even know how to explain it to them when he got back.
Don't you say it, watching them wait day by day?
Having said that, maybe they don't even have the last hope.
Dilemma, neither one is the best.
Xiao Jiu has never been so entangled
I really couldn't think clearly, so I just asked Chu Mufeng what to do.
Chu Mufeng didn't expect her to ask this question, so he turned his head and glanced at her, "If it were you, you would like to hear that news."
Xiao Jiu was speechless, then thought for a long time, and said wiltedly
"I want to be deceived, so that at least I have something to live, otherwise, I really don't know how many days I can last."
"Then do what you want. Xiao Jiu, it's not your fault. It's the way of the world...... It's too hard. ”
In the evening, Song Erniu made a table of delicious food, ate a full meal, and the children played in the yard. Song Erniu and Song Daniu went to the kitchen to make pastries and pigs into the water,
The disaster will not pass, but the days will pass.
It's really desperate to sit and eat, whether you make money or not. It's always good to have something to do every day.
After all this, back in the house, Chu Mufeng stood in front of the window and didn't know what he was thinking.
"It's not early, let's rest early." Song Erniu has been busy for a day, and she really doesn't have the heart to be greedy with Chu Mufeng.
After pulling the quilt and about to rest, at this time, Chu Mufeng turned around and looked at the side of the bed through the bright moonlight.
"Do you know what the gentleman said to me before he left?
"What?" Change your position and close your eyes.
Taishi said that this time, the imperial court nominally sent disaster relief and advertised that there was disaster relief food, but in fact, it was all fake. The imperial court did not distribute a grain of rice at all. ”
At first, Song Erniu didn't understand, but when she understood, she came back to her senses and sat up suddenly.
"What do you mean by that?"
Now not to mention the entire Songjia Village, I am afraid that the people of the entire Pingyang County are waiting for this disaster relief money.
Everyone finally waited for the Qin to come over, but now they said that there was no food at all. This...... Isn't this nonsense?
"Why? Doesn't the imperial court care about the lives of these people? ”
"Mr. said that the border is not peaceful at the moment, and the imperial court can't take out so much food for disaster relief."
"So you can ignore the private meetings of the people?" Sure enough, emperors are cold-blooded and ruthless, and for their interests, it is nothing to sacrifice some people.
"What about you, what do you think?"
"Why do you suddenly ask that? Didn't we already discuss it before? ”
Chu Mufeng sensed Song Erniu's unhappiness. In fact, she couldn't be happier.
It's just that he can't even solve his own troubles, worrying about the country and the people, and in the end it's just in vain.
Besides, after the events of the Chu family back then, he actually knows very well what kind of character he is today.
This matter, no matter who comes forward, I'm afraid this is the result.
From the time the disaster appeared to the present, he did not believe that there was no argument in the court.
To this day, this result can only show that the emperor does not pay attention to this disaster at all.
It is useless to say more. Chu Mufeng sighed and stepped forward, "If you don't want to go to Kyoto, I'll listen to you." ”
Song Erniu was slightly flustered, she was just angry just now, she just wanted to vent, she didn't expect Chu Mufeng to agree.
"Aren't you going back to Beijing to be your father and mother and restore your innocence for the Chu family? If you stay here, you can't do anything. ”
"Not only that, but those who want you to die will come to harm you, and when the time comes, you will definitely regret it."
Chu Mufeng smiled bitterly, "Actually, you know very well that in this situation, even if I return to Beijing, I don't seem to have much chance of winning." Isn't it? ”
Song Erniu choked. She did think about it. But he didn't expect Chu Mufeng to think of this as well.
Yes, the current emperor is mediocre and incompetent at the moment, and he can not care about some tricky things, let alone the unjust, false and wrongful cases many years ago.
He personally inquired into the matter. Now that the case is overturned, it is tantamount to saying that he made a mistake back then.
How could he admit such guilt?
