Chapter 179: The human heart is made of flesh
Shen Baiqing and Su Bowen came to the City Lord's Mansion, the City Lord was very excited to see the two, Shen Baiqing and Su Bowen glanced at each other, and both of them realized that things might not be simple.
The lord of the castle did not mean to beat around the bush, but said the purpose directly.
"Second Young Master Su, Second Young Lady, now the life of the people in the border city has finally taken a turn for the better, but I heard that outside the border city, there are still exiled soldiers from the western border, and those soldiers have surrounded the border city, hoping that the border city can take them in."
Hearing this, Su Bowen asked.
"What does the lord think?"
"If you are not satisfied, if it was before, I would definitely not say anything, but what happened before, now I really don't know if there will be any unnecessary trouble once they are put in, or even repeat the mistakes of the past."
After the city lord made his position, Shen Baiqing still understood the city lord's worries, this is that she was afraid of the well rope after being bitten by a snake for ten years, if it was her, it was estimated that she would have the same concerns.
"City Lord, why don't you let me and my husband go and find out what is going on, okay?"
"That's very good."
The city lord chose to talk to Su Bowen and the others about this, originally with this purpose, but there were some things that were difficult to say, but now it is different.
Shen Baiqing offered to go over with Su Bowen to have a look, and he, the city lord, was naturally happy to see it.
Shen Baiqing and Su Bowen came to the city gate, and saw a group of people from a distance, it seemed that the group of people had also suffered a lot, and when they saw someone coming out of the border city, it seemed that they were either rich or expensive, and everyone's attitude towards the man and woman who came out was quite respectful.
Su Bowen looked at the group of people and asked.
"Who are you? Why do you want to stay in Borderland? ”
Seeing the man asking, the man in the lead made an awkward salute, and at first glance the etiquette was the etiquette of the western realm.
"We are exiled soldiers from the West, and we really have nowhere to go, and we hope to stay in Border City."
"Then you know that the border city was kind enough to take in the so-called soldiers from the west, but as a result, that group of people had bad intentions and almost made the border city recover.
It's not that we don't want to help you, but with that kind of experience, we can't help. ”
Su Bowen's words seemed cold, but the reason was simple and easy to understand, and the person in charge of the group obviously didn't look very good-looking, he still looked at Su Bowen and Shen Baiqing, and stubbornly spoke.
"It's not easy to generalize about this matter, although I can't guarantee anything, but I believe that over time, I will see people's hearts, and the soldiers who are not exiled in the West are all bad people!
People's hearts are flesh and blood, we just obey orders, and now the western border has become a vassal state of the Central Plains Imperial Court, and we have also been exiled, so there is really nowhere to go! ”
Shen Baiqing's heart was moved by the words of the person in charge, and she looked at the person and asked word by word.
"I'm just wondering, if you were to be let into the city, what would you do for the border city?
You know, we can't just let you in and give you a way to live, you know that nothing is supposed to be in life.
Unless you can do hard work, now that the border city needs to be rebuilt, many things need labor, if you are willing to do the lowest hard work, I will be willing to give you a chance, so that you can be fed and clothed. ”
As soon as Shen Baiqing's words came out, the group of people began to talk in a whisper, Su Bowen looked at Shen Baiqing who was standing beside him, and said in his heart that his own lady was really so kind.
Shen Baiqing didn't know that Su Bowen had loved her more and more, and he couldn't stop it.
"This lady can rest assured, as long as Madame gives us the opportunity to stay in Border City, we will definitely not disappoint Madame."
Shen Baiqing could see that the person in charge was not bad, she looked at Su Bowen, Su Bowen suddenly understood, and ordered someone to open the city gate.
Although the people who came to the border city to see the excitement didn't understand Su Bowen's approach, Su Bowen and Shen Baiqing were benefactors in the border city, so everyone didn't say anything, thinking that they could handle this matter well.
For a few days, that group of people really did the most inferior strength work in the border city, and on the whole they were relatively honest.
There are dishonest people, Su Bowen has already set an example, so that no one in that group of people dares to take the initiative to show anything, let alone make trouble.
It's just that the people in the border city didn't let those people go because of Su Bowen and Shen Baiqing's face, but their attitude towards those people on weekdays was obviously very ordinary.
This can't be blamed on the people, the people are also frightened by the previous things, and it is not easy to accept these people easily.
Shen Baiqing began to study and planned to plant fruit trees on the mountain, so he asked the group of people to help.
On this day, Shen Baiqing took the lead and worked with everyone to dig out the hollow and plant saplings, everyone didn't expect Shen Baiqing to be so approachable, without the momentum of everyone's wife, but to work with everyone.
In this way, everyone has a lot more good impression of Shen Baiqing, and the crowd doesn't know who said it.
"If everyone in Border City can treat us like the Second Young Lady treats us, our life here won't have to be so aggrieved."
As soon as the man's words came out, everyone present seemed to be touched, even the men who had been on the battlefield for a long time, and their eyes couldn't help but reddened slightly.
Shen Baiqing noticed it and said slowly.
"Things in this world often require a sincere heart, if you can't show a true heart to everyone, how can the people rest assured that you are staying here?
As the saying goes, as long as you stay in the border city and do your part every day, you don't need to think too much, time is the best proof.
In fact, you can think about it, although everyone has ignored you in the past few days, it is much better than looking at your eyes full of fierceness at the beginning, which shows that the people have begun to gradually recognize you, but it still needs a process. ”
Shen Baiqing's words entered their hearts, and the person at the head looked at Shen Baiqing, his eyes full of gratitude.
"Thank you Second Young Lady for your advice, our gang will stay in the border city in the future and do our part, I think the people will not be very hostile to us in the future."
"As long as you have a kind heart, I think sooner or later the people of Border City can be influenced, provided that you don't have two hearts."
"Second Young Lady, don't worry, we all listen to Second Young Lady."
"Okay, when the fruit trees are planted, you can send a few people to water and fertilize the fruit trees on the mountain every day, and I will arrange work for you another day.
Also, if you want to help, you can go to Cai Di's restaurant, but being a junior requires a lot of rules, don't take out the posture on the battlefield. ”
"Yes."
