Chapter 265: The Voice of the People
Zhong Xiaoshu and Yin Zhige walked on the streets of Cangzhou, and the two of them didn't deliberately go to those tattered and dilapidated remote corners, just followed the people of the large army. The stream walked slowly.
It's like two people from a slightly better local family, but they don't look so embarrassed.
Zhong Xiaoshu and the others slowly approached a small group of people gathered under the shed, Yin Zhige was thinking about how to talk to them, when he heard Zhong Xiaoshu walk to the front of a kind old man with a waist and a bamboo basket, and said, "Mother-in-law, I have been walking with my brother for half a day, and I am really thirsty, can I ask for a bowl of clean water to drink?" ”
"What is the little young man doing so politely, who is still the rest of us in Cangzhou now who doesn't help anyone!" The old man trembled and took out a broken pottery bowl for Zhong Xiaoshu, poured a bowl of water and handed it to her, "Come, take it quickly." ”
Such a simple and warm folk style suddenly made Zhong Xiaoshu's heart soft. Soft, he walked over and sat down next to the old man, took a sip of water, and said, "Mother-in-law is really a good person, if everyone in Cangzhou is like mother-in-law, I'm afraid it won't be like this." ”
"Actually, we're okay here. After the earthquake, the emperor sent the second prince to personally come to relieve the disaster. The old woman patiently explained to the young man, "Although the second prince is a knife and gun, he is very careful, and the disaster relief food sent down is enough for us to eat, so you see, after such a big disaster, a few people starved to death!" ”
"The second prince is indeed a person who is unruly and coarse on the outside, but delicate on the inside." Yin Zhige suddenly said a word, affirming the old woman's evaluation of the second prince.
But the old woman was taken aback by a low and majestic word, and she was stunned, and a pair of old eyes looked at Yin Zhige who was standing.
"This is my brother! can also do some kung fu, so I have some longing for a general like the second prince, and my mother-in-law should not be surprised. Zhong Xiaoshu laughed twice, raised his hand and sat down with Yin Zhige, and handed him the pottery bowl in his hand, "Brother, drink water." ”
Leave this kind of task to her.
Yin Zhige pondered for a while, and said softly to the old woman, "Old woman, I want to ask, when the second prince came to Cangzhou for disaster relief before, did everyone have resentful words?" ”
Yin Zhige hit the nail on the head and asked the most critical place.
The old man glanced at Yin Zhige deeply, as if he was very defensive, and he always had some vigilance against this kind of tall man with his own aura.
Zhong Xiaoshu hurriedly comforted her and said, "Mother-in-law, my brother just wants to ask a few words, he doesn't mean anything else, don't be afraid, he is the most warm-hearted." ”
After that, Zhong Xiaoshu also smiled and pointed to the pottery bowl held by Yin Zhige, "Go and pour some more water, ask your mother-in-law so much, you still have to be diligent to please the old man." ”
Yin Zhige nodded, and really went to pour two more bowls of water honestly, one bowl was placed next to the old woman, and the other bowl was handed to Zhong Xiaoshu.
I don't know if it's really funny to listen to the image of the "younger brother" honestly, or if Yin Zhige is careful and knows how to pour a glass of water for the old man, looking kind.
The old man's vigilant expression relaxed slightly, and then he said, "As long as we Cangzhou people understand, where will we resent His Royal Highness the Second Prince." Although it was a little bit of a bad meal, only sweet potatoes and fine bran to fill the stomach, but after the natural disaster and man-made disaster, we Cangzhou has not starved to death, than those who only know how to pretend to be superficial to make a show, I don't know how many times better! ”
As soon as he heard this, Zhong Xiaoshu glanced at Yin Zhige, and he was already very sure in his heart.
The ordinary people on the border of Cangzhou were indeed correct as they had guessed before, and there was not much dissatisfaction with the fact that the second prince came to relieve the disaster.
After all, after the catastrophe, the requirement of people first, the lowest bottom line is just two words, live.
But anyone who can ensure this can already be very grateful, let alone gather a crowd to make trouble to show their dissatisfaction!
This Cangzhou riot. The chaos must be caused by someone behind the scenes!
Of course, the evidence collection must not be able to conclude the matter with just one example, Zhong Xiaoshu and Yin Zhige said goodbye to the old man, and continued to walk two streets on the street.
Zhong Xiaoshu didn't see clearly who was surrounded in front of him, but he was quickly stopped behind by Yin Zhige, and a few small pebbles were thrown in front of him, and then he scolded, "What kind of world is Cangzhou now, you two neatly dressed little boys still dare to hand over all the valuable things on your body immediately on your grandfather's territory!" Otherwise, don't think about it! ”
This is really a robbery to the head of the soldier, plucking the feathers and plucking the tiger's tail.
Without Zhong Xiaoshu moving his fingers, Yin Zhige's face sank, and he flew directly over the shoddy wooden railings made by these hooligans, one in each hand, and he didn't even need to draw out his weapon.
It didn't take half a pillar of incense to hear that there were seven or eight hooligans piled up in front of him.
"Uncle spare your life! Uncle spare his life! Heroes, heroes let go of the little ones! The one who shouted arrogantly in front of him began to beg for mercy early, and even the group behind him shouted one after another, not knowing what he thought was happening.
Yin Zhige didn't like this kind of treacherous and spineless person the most, and he didn't even bother to give a look, but he still turned his head sideways shamelessly.
Zhong Xiaoshu took a few steps forward with interest, and Yin Zhige immediately stopped, "Xiaoshu, don't go over, I'll do this matter." ”
"Brother, don't worry, they've all been beaten like this by you, what else can you do. Isn't this the best time to ask questions? Zhong Xiaoshu smiled at him playfully, and then leaned in front of the one who begged for mercy the fastest and loudest.
"My brother has been martial arts since he was a child, and he can kill you without saying a finger, but it's still easy to break your bones." Zhong Xiaoshu was not in a hurry to ask, picked up a small branch casually, and broke it with a "click" as he spoke.
Its lethality made the hooligan head tremble in fright.
Yin Zhige's force, they can be regarded as having seen it firsthand......
Zhong Xiaoshu threw the branch casually and said with a smile, "Now, let me ask, you answer honestly, if you say it well, we will let you go today." ”
"Little boy...... Little boy! If you have something to ask, as long as we know it, we will answer it immediately! ”
