Chapter 174: Riot
Su Fengche, who was controlling the people in front of him with Shen Yuemei, suddenly heard a scream, and quickly turned his head to find her injured and fell to the ground, "Yuemei!" ”
Because of Shen Yuemei's injury, Su Fengche ran away in anger, and when he ran over, he destroyed the soup kitchen in a fit of anger, and the people who were looting suddenly saw this scene and immediately panicked.
Only then did the people react, Shen Yuemei was injured because of their robbery, and knew that they had made a mistake, so everyone knelt on the ground and begged for Su Fengche's forgiveness.
"It's... It's our mistake, please forgive us, we are also too hungry, so we will run to rob, I didn't expect to hurt my wife because of this, please forgive us! Everyone knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing to Su Fengche to apologize.
Su Fengche helped Shen Yuemei on the ground up, and asked with a worried face, "Yuemei?" It doesn't matter if you want to, show me? Shen Yuemei covered her arm that was accidentally bruised when she fell, shook her head and said, "I'm fine, I'll be fine when I go back." Saying that, Shen Yuemei turned her head to look at the people who were kneeling on the ground and begging for forgiveness from them, sighed, and said to Su Fengche, "Ah Che, they are just impulsive, after all, they are hungry all year round, and it is normal to be impulsive when they see food, we don't have to blame them for these little things." He nodded, relenting and forgiving them.
Su Fengche took her to treat the wound, and by the way, he found a local elder and asked what happened when Fang Cai was giving porridge.
The elder looked up at the two people in front of him, and knew that these two people were sent by the emperor to provide disaster relief, he asked the two of them to enter the room and sit down, and then sighed while explaining to Su Fengche, "Hey...... Because the income from the border pass is not good, the wind is unbalanced, and if the rain is not smooth, we people have to pay taxes, and a lot of grain has been deducted to officials, and the people who lack food have no way, and they know that they can't fight those officials, so they can only try all kinds of ways to beg from others, so as long as someone passes through the border pass, they will surround and rob them, they just want to eat a full meal. It is precisely because there is no food that these people are hungry all year round, and even some old and weak women and children can't stand this hunger, so they can only die on the side of the road, and no one cares. ”
When the two of them heard what the elder said, they were silent, and their hearts were even more complicated. This time they came down for disaster relief, I didn't expect there to be so many things here, about what the elder just said, the grain was detained by the officials, when I saw Wang Shouzhi yesterday, I was already a little aware of this situation, but because I had just arrived at the border pass, I didn't know what the real situation was, and there was no evidence of Wang Shouzhi's excesses. So Su Fengche did not talk to Wang Shouzhi about it head-on.
Unexpectedly, after the two found the elder, after listening to what the elder said, they were even more sure that this matter had nothing to do with Wang Shouzhi.
After the two learned the truth of the matter from the elder, "Thank you Elder for answering our questions, and I asked the elder to help explain the soup kitchen to the people today. ”
The elder said that he could understand his mood very much, and thought that if he had changed himself at that time, he would have done the same thing as him, so he asked Su Fengche not to take this matter to heart, he would help deal with this matter.
Su Fengche apologized to the elder and said goodbye, and then the two returned to the inn, ready to discuss how to deal with the matter of the officials withholding grain.
"Yuemei, how do you think this matter should be handled?" Shen Yuemei sighed and said, "Look at such an official withholding, the people's food is not a matter of one or two days, and there must be some trouble in solving this matter, so I think it should be considered in the long run, what does Ah Che think?" ”
Su Fengche nodded, feeling that what he said made a lot of sense, but at the moment, the people were still hungry, and the two still decided to solve the problem of food and clothing for the people first, and then solve the problem of officials withholding food. The two reached a consensus and were ready to continue to give soup to the people, because the previous soup kitchen had been destroyed by Su Fengche, so the two had to build the soup kitchen again, because Shen Yuemei was injured before, so he didn't want her to help.
At the same time, Nan Yulin, who was in the palace, did not stay in the palace peacefully, on the way to the border pass for Su Fengche and the others, he had already secretly sent someone to follow all the way secretly to investigate the situation of the two at the border pass.
There was a little accident when Su Fengche disappeared, and Nan Yulin's subordinates hurriedly returned to the palace to report the matter to him, "There seems to be some problems on the side of the four princes of Qiqi, when they were giving porridge, they were robbed by the people, so that Su Fengche's wife was injured, but I didn't expect Su Fengche to go out and destroy the soup kitchen shop in an instant." ”
Nan Yulin listened to the report of his subordinates, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and did not look surprised at all, as if he had known that this kind of thing would happen.
After listening to the report of his subordinates, Nan Yulin suddenly thought of a way to get rid of them, he turned his head to the subordinates in front of him and said, "You come here, I order you to do something." With that, Nan Yulin's subordinates immediately got up and walked in front of him.
Nan Yulin said slowly: "You send some people as rioters and rush to the border to mobilize the people to rise up. Nan Yulin's subordinates, according to what he gave, took some people as rioters, and then went to the border pass, mixed with the crowd of the people, and then deliberately asked the people, "I heard that the people sent by the emperor came to the border pass for disaster relief this time, but is there such a thing?" ”
Several people nodded again and again, but asked with some doubts, "You are not from the border pass, you don't even know about this matter, just today the emperor sent the disaster relief person here to give us porridge, because we were too hungry, so we ran over to rob and didn't expect that the man's wife was injured, that person directly destroyed the soup kitchen, and today's soup soup will be over." Some people said that they felt lost in their hearts, thinking that someone finally came to help the disaster, but this happened again, and now their food and clothing problem is still not solved, and I don't know if I offended that person today, and I don't know if that person will be willing to give them porridge tomorrow?
Of course, the people sent by Nan Yulin knew what these people were thinking at this time, so they deliberately said, "It's better that you don't have expectations, I'm afraid that person is the same as the officials here, but he just came to do superficial work, and he didn't really want to come over to solve the problem of food and clothing for us at all." When everyone heard this, they believed it, and what the man said, coupled with the rioters sent by the Blue Rainforest, launched a popular uprising.
After the elder learned of this, he hurriedly asked people to go to Su Fengche first, Su Fengche and Shen Yuemei were shocked when they heard it, and they were ready to take people to suppress it, but thinking that the place where the riot was not safe, he didn't want Shen Yuemei to be hurt again, in order to protect Shen Yuemei, so he said to Shen Yuemei before leaving, "Yuemei, this riot is menacing, you better stay in the inn and wait for me to come back." ”
"Ah Che, be careful, I'll wait for you to come back." Su Fengche nodded, and somehow his eyes suddenly moistened.
He turned and went out of the inn with the men to the place where the riot had taken place. What Su Fengche never expected was that Nan Yulin's people had been staying at the inn where they were staying for a long time, and when they watched Su Fengche go out, they took this opportunity to take Shen Yuemei away.
Shen Yuemei, who was anxiously waiting for Su Fengche to come back in the room, was startled by the person who suddenly broke into the room, she quickly hid to the side and said in a panic, "You... Who are you? What are you going to do? The man didn't wait for him to react, and directly stepped forward with a knife hand to stun him, and then took him away.
And Su Fengche's side, because of the people who started the riot, there were people sent by Nan Yulin, and when everyone saw Su Fengche's arrival, they hurriedly swarmed around Su Fengche and beat Su Fengche violently, and shouted in his mouth, "I didn't expect you to be the same as those corrupt officials and corrupt officials, we want to eliminate harm for the people!" Before Su Fengche could explain, they made a big move against him, Su Fengche knew that they were just ordinary people, so he didn't fight back, but just tried to protect himself.
The scene was chaotic, he had almost no way to suppress the riot, the elder couldn't stand it, and in desperation, the elder finally came forward to solve the problem, "Stop!" Stop! ”
When the master heard the voice of the elder, he immediately stopped and looked at the elder suspiciously, "Elder? Are you trying to protect this corrupt official? ”
"Please calm your anger, this person was sent by the emperor to provide disaster relief, I believe he is different from other corrupt officials and corrupt officials, how about you sell the old man's face and give this person a month to solve everyone's food and clothing problems?" Everyone naturally believed what the elder said, so they asked Su Fengche to solve their food and clothing problem within a month, otherwise they would still start a riot like today.
Finally solved the matter of the riot, which was a sigh of relief, apologized to the elder, and when he returned to the inn exhausted, he opened the door and suddenly found that Shen Yuemei was no longer there, and just as he was panicking, he saw a farewell letter forged by Nan Yulin's subordinates on the table.
Su Fengche walked to the table, looked at the farewell letter left by Shen Yuemei on the table, frowned slightly, and then reached out to pick up the letter paper on the table and read it carefully.
Although the handwriting on the letter paper is very similar to Shen Yuemei's, and it is not even distinguishable at all, whether the words on it were written by Shen Yuemei or not. But Su Fengche knew that she was not the kind of person who would leave without saying goodbye, so she thought that something must have happened or that she must have encountered some danger, so she would be like this.
Now that the two of them have left the palace, they haven't offended anyone along the way. But Su Fengche suddenly remembered that the riot that suddenly started today and the disappearance of Shen Yuemei should have been done by one person.
