Chapter 640: Singing on stage
Those who were flooded with their homes and had nowhere to return wanted to go to the city to find their parents and officials to give them a way to live.
However, they were ruthlessly blocked out of the city gate by the officers and soldiers.
Bai Zhi gritted her teeth when she saw it, and secretly clenched her fists, she had seen such a scene on TV before, but she also knew that it was all fake, and it was interpreted by others.
But when I saw it with my own eyes, the anger rushed straight to my head.
If they hadn't kept a low profile now, I'm afraid she would have rushed up to reason with those officers and soldiers, and I think I know that no matter what kind of tongue she tries now, it will be useless.
A large number of refugees, because of hunger and disease, have fallen a lot.
The four of them were full of anger in their hearts, but they suppressed their anger and pretended to enter the city as if nothing had happened.
Because the city gates are strictly guarded.
"Stop, what are you guys doing?"
Qing Feng accompanied the smiling face, took out some broken silver from his sleeve and stuffed it into the man's hand.
"Official, we are in business, we have bought tea here before, and this time we have come to buy again, although we know about the floods in the south of the Yangtze River, we just want to try our luck and see if we can still buy tea," as he spoke, Qingfeng took the opportunity to take a look inside the city.
I found that this place was calm as usual, but there were two worlds across the door.
"Okay, you are doing business, you should be careful when you enter the city, I heard that the minister is coming soon, don't make trouble," the man received the money, naturally he didn't have anything to say, and he let him go very happily.
When they found an inn in the city and settled down, Duan Xun and Qingfeng began to work on the embankment, and now they first had to find out how the previous embankment was built, so that they could start building a new one.
"You two go about your business! We've got Cold Frost here alone, and there's no going to be a problem with him," he said, glancing at the dumb man.
"Leng Shuang, you see that we have all disguised ourselves as ordinary small businessmen, your outfit is really inappropriate, how can our current identity afford to invite you to be a murderous guard like you, and you will know that you are an extraordinary guard at a glance!" Bai Zhi saw that he still hadn't changed his clothes, and she had a little headache.
This guy's outfit is too out of place with them now, and it's very dramatic.
"Wang ...... Madam, what kind of clothes do you say your subordinates should wear? "He thinks he's okay with this.
Bai Zhi didn't even think about taking Duan Xun's remaining clothes, took a set and handed it to him to wear: "Na!! Both of you are about the same size and should be able to wear them, and you and we can not only take care of each other, but at least not make people look too strange. ”
Leng Shuang looked at Duan Xun hesitantly, but did not dare to respond.
It's too rebellious to be their brother, and if the prince doesn't nod, he won't dare!
"Just do what Zhi'er said, we are very busy these days, and we may not go back to the inn every day, besides, we are not familiar with life here, so it is always better to protect by our side," Duan Xun nodded, so that he suddenly had no psychological pressure.
"Okay, now we all do our own duties, you two go about your business, we go play ours, everyone doesn't disturb each other, what do you think?" Bai Zhi thinks that it would be great if this is really the case.
Originally, she wanted to come here to play, and by the way, she was looking for a shop.
But now she has a new purpose.
"Just do whatever you want! As long as you don't play too much, I'll take care of it for you," Duan Xun had already guessed her careful thoughts, and shook her head helplessly, this little woman is always ghostly.
Even if she doesn't say it, they all have a heart.
After settling down in the house, they ran out happily, and there was nothing to do now, but it was better to walk around here now.
Familiarize yourself with the environment first.
Bai Zhi, Ji Yunjiao and Leng Shuang were walking on the crowded street, if it wasn't for the fact that when they came in and saw so many refugees outside, they would definitely not believe what they saw in front of them.
"How many people have paid for such peace and prosperity at the cost of their lives?" Bai Zhi, you thought that the officials here dared to do this, and you were furious.
"Madam, we can also help those people, but we have just come now, I'm afraid it's not easy to act secretly, how can we observe now and find the right time," Leng Shuang also thought the same as she thought.
It would be fine if they hadn't seen the many refugees out there, but now it's almost impossible for them to act as if they hadn't seen them.
"Okay! That's all there is to it now," the three of them watched as they walked down the street.
I found that the mountains and rivers here are indeed beautiful, unlike the serious and mighty Yudu.
There are pavilions and pavilions everywhere, which are unique and elegant.
When they walked to the front of a large house, they found that there was a stage singing at the door, and there were many onlookers.
Bai Zhi didn't have much interest in these singing operas, but she just took a look and was about to leave.
But Ji Yunjiao pulled her clothes: "Sister Zhi'er, let's listen to what those people said the day before yesterday!" ”
She motioned her eyes to look to the side, and saw many people, whispering in groups of threes and twos.
"There are so many refugees outside, but they are singing here, it's really unconscionable! God will punish them. ”
"It's like, what can be bigger than human life? But in the eyes of these officials, the lives of our people are not lives. ”
……
Although the onlookers were joining in the fun, what they said was heart-piercing.
"Even the ordinary people in the city know the truth, but those who are officials turn a deaf ear, these officials are not good at governance, it seems that it is not good," Bai Zhi was already eager to roll up his sleeves and beat people.
Not to mention the others, as far as the officials in this flower factory are concerned, I'm afraid they can't let any of them go.
"This little brother, the singing here is so lively, we are from a foreign country and came to the tea merchant, but we don't know what is so happy here, we have already invited the opera troupe?"
Cold Frost speaks in a tone that she thinks is very kind.
But the person who was chatting hotly was startled: "Eh! I said this little brother, you scared us when you came over so violently," the adult said and patted his heart, as if he had palpitations.
Hearing others say that, Leng Shuang was suddenly a little embarrassed, but he didn't know what to say.
"Let me tell you that this is the prefect of Huacheng, his mother's sixty-third birthday, please sing the opera! It's just for fun, and it's nothing if it's put in it on weekdays! But ......"
The man sighed under his breath......
"Huacheng belongs to a higher place, I didn't see that this place was affected by the flood, but the rice city on the edge of Huacheng was almost flooded," the man sighed as he spoke.
He also felt sorry for the people in Daocheng.
"If the officials don't act, what can we ordinary people do? Even if you want to say it, you can only talk secretly in private, if the official master hears it, maybe he will arrest us and put us in prison! ”
Although the people who spoke vomited quickly, they did not see that the faces of these tea merchants from other towns were as black as ink.
"It's very lively here, and the singing is good, although the officials don't do anything, but it's already like this, so let's listen to the play!" After saying that, he turned around and left, without stopping for a moment.
