"Wait a minute, I'll report to you. Finally, a voice came from inside.

Ye Yingfan replied: "Hurry up, otherwise the people outside will starve to death, and something big will happen then." ”

"I see. "The sound inside is getting farther and farther away, and it is estimated that it has run away.

It didn't take long for the master's voice to come from inside the iron gate. "Is it the Martial Arts Pavilion?"

"It's me, master, open the door. Ye Yingfan said.

"Martial arts hall master, because there are many villains now, we can't open the door at night, just say anything you have. Master said.

Ye Yingfan was furious when he heard this, "Master, Feng Xianling promised me to give porridge in the afternoon, why haven't I given porridge until now? You know that there are many people waiting outside, right? This will starve to death." ”

"Martial arts hall master, we don't have enough characters. Master said. "Originally, after your brown rice was shipped, I already asked someone to prepare it. Later, when we heard that there were bandits outside the city, we immediately sent someone to track them down, and we just came back. We haven't eaten, so how can we have time to cook porridge for the others? Tell the people to come back tomorrow morning. Anyway, they've already eaten a meal in the morning, and they won't starve. ”

"Then you give me brown rice, and I'll arrange for someone to cook it now. Ye Yingfan secretly scolded these people for their incompetence.

The master said: "No need for this, we will arrange for someone to cook it tomorrow." Besides, the brown rice and the silver you have brought over have set up the account books of the yamen, and they will not be taken out to you at all. ”

Ye Yingfan was even more angry when he heard his master say this, he knew that he had fallen for Feng County's trick to order them.

What are the bandits, just cooking porridge, just call a few people over to do it, there are so many idlers in the yamen, do they all go to catch the bandits?

Besides, if there is news of the bandits, it is impossible for Yang Wu not to inform him, the master must be talking nonsense.

Ye Yingfan walked to the front of the yamen, and now the people were staring at him, not feeling good in their hearts.

"Martial arts hall master, please, we only need a little porridge for the children to eat, we adults don't eat it. They wept pitifully. Some adults knelt down to Ye Yingfan, and the child in his arms opened his mouth and cried, which made people feel distressed.

Ye Yingfan walked to the gate and shouted loudly with his internal force: "Master, forget about tonight's matter." I have given you brown rice and more than a thousand taels of silver, and if you do not give you free porridge to-morrow, these people will starve to death. ”

Those thousands of people are not stupid, how can they not hear the meaning of Ye Yingfan's words.

"Yes, the martial arts hall master is kind enough to help us, and we can't let others deceive us. If the yamen doesn't give us free porridge tomorrow, we don't want to die. "There were some bold eyes with a rebellious look in their eyes.

Ye Yingfan turned to Lao Tie beside him and said, "Lao Tie, you take the fifty taels of silver tickets to buy brown rice, and then rush to the medical hall." ”

"Yes, sir. Lao Tie took the silver ticket and drove the carriage away.

So, Ye Yingfan took these thousands of poor people who were about to starve to death and walked towards the medical hall, which made the people on the street very strange for a while.

After others understood the situation, they couldn't help but sigh and said: "Feng Papi is so hateful, the owner of the martial arts hall took out more than 1,000 taels of silver, and there was brown rice worth 1,000 taels to the yamen, Feng Papi actually wanted to swallow it." If he doesn't give porridge to the people tomorrow, we will go to Liaocheng Mansion to sue him. ”

When he arrived at the medical hall, Ye Yingfan personally knocked on the door.

When the janitor Lao Sun saw Ye Yingfan coming back, he said strangely: "Pavilion master, are you still coming to see the patient so late?"

Speaking of this, the old grandson, who was still decadent just now, suddenly became energetic. "Owner, I'll start charging the door fee now. ”

But when Lao Sun saw the thousands of people behind him, he was so frightened that his feet shook and shouted, "So many people?

However, Lao Sun thought that if one person collected ten cents, thousands of people would have a lot of money, and how much it was, Lao Sun couldn't calculate it at once, so he had to count it with his fingers.

"Lao Sun, it's not to see a doctor, but to cook porridge for them. Ye Yingfan said. "You call the people inside to come out, hurry up and help set up a big pot to boil the water, and when Lao Tie comes back, you will cook porridge." ”

Lao Sun was confused when he heard this: "Pavilion master, didn't you say that the yamen is cooking porridge over there?

"Where's the supper? They haven't eaten yet. Ye Yingfan looked at the poor people who were so hungry that they couldn't stand up, and his heart hurt for no reason.

Because Lao Tie is a regular customer, the owner of the rice shop took his men to send brown rice with Lao Tie.

There were more than a dozen people in the medical hall, and when they heard Ye Yingfan asking them to work, although they were unwilling, they had to come out to work with them.

Some people were embarrassed and said, "Martial arts hall master, in fact, as long as there is rice and a pot, we can cook it ourselves." ”

Ye Yingfan didn't want the people to come by themselves, but he was afraid that they would not listen to the command and cause trouble.

"In this case, you can choose ten people to come over, and then help Lao Sun and them. Ye Yingfan said.

Soon, those people pushed out ten tall men, Ye Yingfan just knew that the leader was called Yang Zhibao, and everyone trusted him, so they also asked them to come over to help.

Yang Zhibao shouted to the front: "Everyone line up in four lines, there are children and the elderly in the front, and adults in the back." ”

Ye Yingfan nodded secretly, although this Yang Zhibao was so hungry that he could still think of everyone.

"Yang Zhibao, now is a special situation, everyone is hungry, line up ten, Lao Sun, you also come over to help, everyone hurry up and cook porridge." Ye Yingfan shouted.

There were many people who were easy to do, and the water was quickly boiled. Because everyone is poor, they don't wash rice or anything, they just put it in the pot and boil it.

Ye Yingfan was worried about the girl just now, and now her grandmother was standing at the front of the team with her.

Lao Tie walked to Ye Yingfan's side, took out a cooking cake and said, "Master, this is taken in the rice shop, you can send it to the little girl." ”

Because the porridge is still very hot, at least ten minutes to wait for it to be less hot, everyone is waiting.

The people in the hospital hall all came out with lanterns, and at first everyone was unwilling, but when they saw those crying children, these people's hearts were also long, and they ran out to help.

Ye Yingfan walked to the little girl's side, took out the cooking cake and said, "Little sister, you eat this first." ”

This kind of cookcake has not been sold since he crossed.

"Grandma, can I eat it?" the little girl asked the old woman drooling.

"Martial Arts Hall Master, you are a good person. The old woman knelt down to Ye Yingfan with the little girl in her arms.

The other people also shouted: "Martial arts hall master, you are a good person, God will bless you." ”

The thousands of people knelt down at once, all shouting Wu Dalang's name, and this scene made Ye Yingfan feel very sour in his heart.
