Chapter 168: Trouble
Chapter 168: Porridge
In the end, Dongfang Xia Lan still couldn't give up Gu Du, handed over the child to his wife, and followed Gu Du back to Suxian Mountain.
Di Qiuhan asked, "Uncle, what now?" ”
Gu Du asked rhetorically, "What is the situation in Lingyu County?" ”
Di Qiuhan replied: "The rice of each family has been sold for 100 wen and one bucket, but the people have long had no money to buy rice, I don't know what my uncle's plan is, so let our grain store close." ”
Gu Du said: "Okay, set up five porridge shops for disaster relief, and at the same time spread people to inform refugees from all over the country that the grain merchants in Lingyu County are giving porridge." ”
Di Qiuhan looked at Gu Du with puzzled eyes, and Gu Du said: "I want to gather all the refugees in Lingyu County, and the gathering of hungry and crazy people is more terrible than the rebels." ”
Di Qiuhan suddenly clenched his fists and responded: "Let's do it!" ”
Di Qiuhan went out, and Dongfang Xia Lan asked Gu Du: "What about making trouble?" ”
Gu Du replied: "Lingyu County is in chaos, it will be difficult to transport military rations to Sunset Pass, and he will have to send troops to quell the chaos, and the people will be in turmoil for two or three months, and the people's hearts will be in chaos, and the emperor can swear to go south." ”
Five porridge shops started a fire the next day, boiling gruel in a cauldron, two meals a day, regardless of men, women and children, each meal is a big spoonful per person, not full, but absolutely not starving to death.
Dongfang Xia Lan excitedly pulled Gu Du and said, "Let's go to Lingyu County to have a look!" ”
Gu Du said with a gloomy face: "Don't go, you can't see that kind of scene." ”
Dongfang Xia Lan blinked, Gu Du said: "I'm not doing good, I'm doing evil, in order to avenge Jin Lan's mother and son, and for Zeguo to dominate the world, I will kill tens of thousands of old and young women and children." ”
Dongfang Xia Lan threw herself into his arms, looked at him with a raised face and said: "Don't say that, if you fight, either they die, or we die, it's better for them to die than for us to die, besides, it has always been the Spirit Kingdom that kills the people of Zeguo, you are just seeking justice for the people of Zeguo." ”
Gu Du smiled, hugged her tightly and said, "There is no justice in the world, only the weak eat the strong." ”
The other grain stores in Lingyu County stopped working, so they made an appointment to come to Wei Liuqing together, and said to him: "What does Wei Shopkeeper mean by this?" Since you opened your business, I'm afraid that you haven't even sold a bucket of rice, and the price of your rice is always a penny higher than ours, but now that it's such a good market, you set up a porridge shop to make porridge, where are you singing? ”
Wei Liuqing replied sullenly: "People are dying of hunger, how can I have money to buy rice, I want to have a good reputation, and I hope the government can praise me." ”
Everyone sneered, and someone said: "It turns out that the shopkeeper Wei is planning to do this, so what kind of food store do you open, how good is it to donate a fame directly?" ”
Wei Liuqing replied sincerely: "I have donated, I didn't find the right way, and I spent money in vain." ”
Someone said in an unkind tone: "Then you can't give up the porridge, you give up the porridge like this, how can we do business?" ”
Wei Liuqing replied in a muffled voice: "The rice is mine, I am willing." ”
"Huh? What do you call that? "Everybody blew up.
But the fryer is useless, the porridge is still the same, and no one dares to smash the porridge shop, because it is not only a matter of public anger, but also offends the government.
The disciples of Juelingmen scattered out, in order to hide their identities, they all pretended to be refugees, and spread rumors from all over the country, saying that there was a Weishan person in Lingyu County, who was the shopkeeper of the grain store, and was giving porridge for disaster relief, and also said that Weishan's family had a great cause, and his family's rice was enough for the whole country to eat.
Countless refugees poured into Lingyu County, but many people could not go to Lingyu County at all, and the official roads were full of hunger and crying.
Every time she transmitted, Gu Du asked Dongfang Xia Lan to avoid it, in this troubled world, her purity and kindness are precious, she can follow him in the bloody battlefield, but she must not fall into purgatory on earth.
Although Dongfang Xia Lan didn't listen to the rumors, she occasionally heard her disciples talking, and she knew a little about the current miserable situation in the Spirit Kingdom, and at the same time she also woke up to her mother's intentions, and her mother foresaw what Gu Du was going to do, so she wanted to use the child as an excuse to leave her in the mountain.
Maybe her mother was afraid that she wouldn't be able to stand Gu Du doing such a thing, and she would be resentful of Gu Du, right? In fact, it is really unnecessary, although she has not experienced anything, but she understands the simplest truth, since she chose to marry Gu Du, she will follow Gu Du in this life, even if he is heinous, he has no regrets or complaints.
Besides, the world is conquering, and only asks whether you win or lose, whether it is right or wrong.
At night, more than a dozen female disciples invited Duan Yuechan to a secluded place, and someone whispered: "Senior Sister Duan, is it too hurtful for my uncle to do this?" ”
Duan Yuechan replied: "The conquest of the world is like this, you only see that the current spirit kingdom is miserable, but you don't know how the spirit kingdom treated Ze country in the past, the way of heaven is good reincarnation, and great chaos can achieve great governance." ”
Someone else said softly: "We are worried about the little junior sister, the uncle has done bad karma, in case of retribution, will the little junior sister have to suffer?" ”
Someone else softly echoed: "Yes, isn't my uncle's deceased wife retribution?" ”
"Presumptuous!" Duan Yuechan reprimanded: "My uncle is the great soul master of Zeguo, and he has the power to control the army, is it also bad karma to kill the enemy for the country?" Whoever dares to chew her tongue again, I will pull her tongue out! ”
Everyone was silent for a moment, and someone else said: "Of course, there is nothing wrong with the battlefield conquest, but now it is not a battlefield conquest." ”
Duan Yuechan said: "Go to the army to fight, although there are no sword soldiers, it is also a conquest, you all shut up for me, just obey the order!" ”
Ten days of porridge, gathered tens of thousands of refugees, Lingyu County's county commander Liu Tai panicked, ordered the garrison to strictly guard the city gate, not allowed to let refugees into the city, but the refugees still poured to Lingyu County, less than a month, gathered tens of thousands of people, surrounded outside the city gate and cried.
The disciples of the Jueling Sect began to agitate, and shouted in pieces: "There is food in the city!" They just want to starve us to death! ”
"We are outnumbered, rush into the city and grab food!"
"It's all death anyway, let's fight with them!"
The refugees shouted and poured towards the city gates, mixed with the cries and screams of the people who had been crushed and trampled.
The captain at the head of the city panicked and shouted, "Stand back! Back off! If you don't retreat, you're going to release the arrows! ”
The disciples of the Jueling Sect hid in the crowd and shouted, "Rush! Break through the gates and you'll have something to eat! ”
There is a surge of people, and even if some people want to retreat, there is no way out.
The lieutenant ordered: "Archers prepare...... Put! ”
Arrows rained down on the city, and countless refugees were shot by arrows, but no one fell, because the people were crowded with people, and there was not even a gap for them to fall.
The disciples of the Jueling Sect were still shouting, "Rush! They don't treat us like people! They're going to kill us all! It's all death anyway! Rush into the city! Fight with them! ”
Gu Du stood on a high place, silently looking at the city gate, everything was as he expected, the water could carry the boat, and it could also overturn the boat, and Lingyu County would definitely become a huge Shura field.
